Oh, here's a question I don't know the answer to, but I know there has been at least one. How many British champions have a 100% record, i.e. they have won every British championship in which they have taken part?

Jacob Aagaard is certainly one answer to the last question. I think R.B.Ramesh may be another.

Without double checking a possible list is:

Napier 1904
Griffith 1912
Combe 1946
Yanofsky 1953
Ramesh 2002
Aagaard 2007
