Has Great Britain ever been considered a "hyper-power" like the United States or Russia are currently considered? If not, why?

Anyway no Britain has never been in the class of Hyperpower or Superpower, we dont care to be, we're happy being a sleeping bulldog.

Superpower is such a tad ‘compensatory'.

We're not a superpower as such, but what we bring to the table can be the deciding factor in winning or losing a battle. Experience.

Of the Brits I know and good friends with, they all chuckle at the ‘Superpower’ thing.

No, no, no, no, no. The Brits are happy to sit there surrounded by an invaders nightmare of a sea borne invasion being repelled by submarines you cant hear, cant see, and can blow you apart in a heartbeat.
