But, to be serious, Prue - you may have landed yourself in more complications with your mention of Anglo-Saxon types born in the UK. Who the hell are they? I have no idea whether I fall into that category - I was born in the UK, but my father's family came from Ireland. My mother's family are English, but I haven't a clue what their origins are. This sort of confusion, plus the fairly massive immigration into the UK in recent years, means that a pedigree 'Anglo-Saxon' origin must now be extremely rare. We are all citizens of the World now, and I personally think [note those words, Kathy] that words like 'colonial' and 'Anglo-Saxon' should be binned,

Reminds me about a genetic study I was reading about only the other day.

Hmm. Peter, do you ever feel the slightest bit Welsh? An interest in 2 ft gauge railways, dragons or King Arthur, perhaps?
