Hi,
Here's an article posted in the UK's Telegraph, where a Nobel-prize winning
chemist blames the rise in popularity of Lego over Meccano for the decrease
of the UK's scientists and Engineers.

Of course, he's probably achieving more fame by making such a statement,
than by winning a Nobel Prize to begin with!

Note the note,
"USAians note: Meccano = Erector Set"
