rebellions don't count

It's actually a decent question - what wars have we losts since 1707?

Excluding the AWI, and defeats to John Company in India/Afghanistan, I can't think of many. Attempted invasion of Buenos Aires? If that counts. 1st Boer War probably the only one that springs to mind. Although the current Afghan missions seems a bit murky in terms of whether that should be a defeat or not.
