So KGarrard is a Manxman. Quite right though. My fathers brother trained as an RAF observer(navigator) at RAF Jurby.
Time for a little rant. Four main racial groups, Celts, Welsh, Irish and Scots, Anglo-Saxons and Scandinavians, Danes and Norwegians. Lots of admixture since, Churchill called us a mongrel race. Ancestry could differentiate rather more accurately.
Britain was a tight little island in WWII. Going into a pub and ordering coffee or writing a continental 7 would get you arrested as a German spy within half an hour.
In the 50's and 60's people were very conscious of their ethnicity, it's been declining until devolution. John Major thinks it was a mistake. Since then, independence movements, the resurgence of old allegiances as UK descends more into post decadence.
The old prejudices still survive. About 5 years ago, I was at a dinner in a very nice Thai restaurant in Basingstoke. Someone made a comment about race, I replied 'well the English are Germans'. Shock, horror, silence. Then someone said, 'the Royal Family perhaps'. Another said 'I'm a Scot'. The Scots call the English Sassernachs, ie Saxons, doh! He also said he would like to push Wales into the middle of the Atlantic!
