plus for instance imperial is rated 17th in world and 3rd in europe - but do u think employers outside of england will have even heard of it?!

Its like most league tables you see around the place. Take 'em with a pinch of salt. If you uni is around the top then its a very good one. I think actual ranking don't really matter.
I saw a similar table like this a few months ago which pitched UK unis much lower than this one (40s/50s).

and what about Hull - one of the three great British unis?
and what about Hull - one of the three great British unis?
Fact is this table says that of the top 18 universities, 15 are american and 3 are british. This say nothing of the rest of the world (namely Japan, Europe, Australia...).
Then theres the fact Caltech and MIT are rated so highly. MIT is bogshite apparently. They offer a sandwich year there for cam students, and all my supervisors advised against because
a) its lame
b) It adds nothing to your CV. Its like going from Newcastle to Lincoln

Looks like a crock of **** to be honest. I mean UC-San Francisco is ranked higher than Yale? Please believe.

I had a look at this website and the rankings have been constructed by a university in Shanghai.
I have also had a look at a forum discussion of under/post grads on the same subject and it was mentioned that USA unis cannot be beaten for Science and Engineering because of the colossal sums of money in research funding etc.
In this country we are in dire straits over funding (as are most European unis apparently) so is the answer putting more money into universities generally?

Just lookat how ludicrous a sugestion it is. Its irrelevant where they rank Oxbridge. OR the fact that Harvard is set as a bench mark. (which is silly, because at Harvard they have academia and sports existing seperately, whereas UK unis they exist together), OR even the basis of nobel prizes (irony being that so many nobel prize winners are poached by american unis offering big money. If you based it on where they were originally educated then there would be less nucleation of nobel winners)
Fact is this table says that of the top 18 universities, 15 are american and 3 are british. This say nothing of the rest of the world (namely Japan, Europe, Australia...).

Er... MIT is very highly regarded. I think you are wrong on this.
