You cannot call the British a racially pure ethnic group - rather a cultural group. Welsh, Scottish, Irish, Cornish and the English (to sub-divide) are equally as mixed and "mongrel" (in the non-pegorative meaning of the word) as the "British" in general. Like most nations on earth - we are a real mixture... and its no bad thing as long as we remember it...

All the people living in the British Isles today have decendants from Celtic origins. Celts first appeared in France and Germany but then following the Roman conquest of Europe they had to move over the English Channel to the England and they stayed there. So all the Welsh, Irish, Scottish and English are actually Celtic people.

The Troungs over one hundred thousand years ago built the first cities in England after defeating the dinosaurs who lived there...
