Re: White British or something else?

I am also white British, but I hope we do have people from other ethnic backgrounds because I think they may be interesting to chat to.

Just think how many different recipes they could share with us. Maybe they could share ideas and ways of life from their ethnic background.

I remember finding out that people with black skin scar more easily so, in the event of them having a nasty cut, it is wise for them to take vitamin E ( or use a vitamin E cream) to reduce the scarring.
There may be somebody here that could find that useful!

Like Rhian, l think there is something else in my family from far back. My mother wasn’t a typical Irish looking person. My dad had the black hair and blue eyes but my mother had black hair, olive skin, high cheekbones and brown eyes.

My brother and youngest sister looked a bit oriental when they were born and so were their children. My brother’s daughter is the spitting image of Catherine Zeta Jones!

Maybe, this all due to the Spanish Armada invading lreland all those years ago?
That's interesting Art!
The Welsh Celts (Silurian)who lived in the south and western areas of Wales were dark haired and swarthy which is what Catherine Zeta Jones (and me probably) puts her looks down to. But when you consider how blonde/red haired and pale the rest of the Celts are...could it be that the Silurians and the Romans were the first to create a mixed race in the UK?!
