It may be an island but the influx of visitors (Romans, Vikings, French, refugees, West Indians, Indians, Africans, etc. etc. has kept Brits very diverse. As an example, my mother was Belgian, her father French, her mother Dutch my father's mother half Italian, which makes me more European than English. As for my children-in-law, they include, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Chinese. I should think that Smallville USA has more danger of inbreeding than Metropolitan UK. 8-) Frank
