The person in denial is you, who tries in every moment to distance the UK and France, Turning France in a typical romance bull fighting country and ENgland in a thor-look-alike northern european one, both very distant from the really.
Well, southern France is actually a typical romance bull fighting area.
Your are right, mediterranean southern france is, but not france as a whole, let alone northern france.
southern France is as much France as northern France... As "easthome" you seem to assume that "France" is somehow limited to the north of it... Curious. Is only Germany only northern Germany? or Italy only northern Italy?...
By the way, bullfighting is not specifically "latin/romance". Italy doesn't practice it.
Also, not all regions of Spain or Portugal are practicing bullfighting, and bullfighting in France is as much (if not more) a south-west thing (Atlantic regions, Aquitaine, Basque country, etc.) as a "mediterranean southern french" thing. http://static.ladepeche.fr/content/p...21450_zoom.jpg
What means light hair? lightbrown to light blonde? Most brits have medium/mousy brown hair, then darkbrown/black, then lightbrown/darkblonde, then red and the least common is light blond.
If light brown means anything from lightbrown to any shade lighter (including red) then I doubt anything above the 40% mark of britons would actually be considered fair haired. Poland as a whole is slighty blonder than the UK, Russia is blonder than both of those countries.
Would you stop confusing Londoners for brits for the love of god.
No, the british (trow Irish in) are just noticeable darker than the rest of northern europe.

For me the British just look closer to the people in northern france (not exactly but somewhat similar)

Stop now. Just stop! The British and the French have nothing in comparison when it comes to genealogy. I have spent 3 years doing my family tree I know alot about Genealogy and the French certainly did not have an input. The French hate the brits too much. (Honestly)

The french do not hate the British. Being different doesn't mean we should hate each other. most french people do not care much for British, let's remind us that we have 7 other neighboring countries to care about.
The Plantagenets almost never put their feet on British soil. They were just owning the land.
We shouldn't confuse in the middles ages, as many people do, the history of the owing aristrocraties with people's histories. They were usually distinct. When we speak about the 100 years wars and we say it was wars between French and English people, that is completly wrong. All this is pure historic deformation. The 100 years war was a war between two french-based owning families which one of them just happend to own lands in Britain thank to their mariage with Normand families. "french" and "english" (if we can say such a thing already existed) peoples at that time were just puppets of these rivalry.
