Wow, you can get more British than suggesting your country's prowess by how your general allegedly defeated his enemy in the battlefield and in bed, but I'm guessing it would require your doing that while drinking tea on the top of the Big Ben, with a chorus singing "God Save the Queen" in the background.
Bonus Wikipedia article, not all the great British are remembered as they should: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cartagena_de_Indias
