Oh dear - lol!!
Actually, your brother-in-law's quite wrong, tiara.
For a start, the French Louis Braille invented braille printing.
Another French "inventor" was the sculptor Bartholdi who made the Statue of Liberty.
There are quite a few non-British inventors if your brother-in-law takes a good look round.

Penicillin wasn't discovered by Fleming but by a French student named Duchesny. Because of his age and that he was a student he was overlooked and Fleming was given credit. Some years after Fleming recieved the Nobel prize, Duchesny was eventually credited as being the first person to discover Penicillin.
