Really? and what makes you say this? You havent got the faintest idea about me and it shows, I am British and like just about every other Britain I have a mixed heritage,
You might consider yourself British (or whatever you like,) however something is telling me that you are not.
What makes me think so?
Because Brits don't fly off the hook when someone dwells on a subject that they might be touchy about.
Blacks have tendency to fly off the hook, Russians fly off the hook, but not Brits just in case you didn't notice. At least not on public forums.
Not only that - Brits are usually quite indifferent to the subject of their looks, ( you can see it by their reaction here) but for you it obviously matters. There is more than just "looks" that define a Brit))))
Proof that Britain's are all 'freckly' please? You don't even live in Europe let alone Britain what do you base this assumption on? What percentage of 'typical' English tourists are the French laughing at? Or is this something else you've just 'made up' in your head? What percentage of Britain's have this 'typical' freckled pale complexion? If its typical as you say it must be over 50% at the very least!? Please show me where you discovered this typical British look that not only the French but the also the Dutch do not have??
Remember the fact that I don't live in Europe now, doesn't mean I've never lived there. I have lived in my maternal ancestral lands in the Low Countries.A re-education is the best way for you. I never said that all British are freckled, but they do indeed have a higher frequency of such people than anywhere in Europe. According to several genetical projects, such as the BritishDna, IrishDna finds the ratio of Britons and Irish who are carriers of the red-headed gene variants to be much higher than of those with actual red hair. Not surprising due to the fact that red hair to be a recessive trait. Those who are carriers, even if they aren't red-heads will still share similar characteristics of redheads, like very sensitive skin to summer sun, freckled-complexion, prone to skin cancers. This is where the 'redhead' stereotype of Scottish/Irish comes from. This never meant that all redheads that all Scotch and Irish have red hair and freckles. The same goes for Scandinavians, not all are pure blonde-headed either. I didn't discover it's fact that people of Celtic ancestry and those with red hair have the highest frequency of pale skin tone. Those people are commonest in the British Isles and where White Britons/Irish have settled as well. In skin cancers studies done in Australia, Canada and the U.S., it is a well known fact by dermatologists, that people who would be the most prone to skin cancers, because they are obviously pale are those from British Isles, especially from the Celtic fringe. A scientific paper published in 2012 by Stanford University called GWAS study on European pigmentation in four European countries namely Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, the people included in this specific study were between the age of 21 to 30 I believe. The results were no surprise to me, in terms of skin tone it was again the Irish who were as a whole much lighter-skinned than the rest of the group. Poles were only slightly lighter than the Portuguese and the darkest were the Italians. In terms of hair and eye color both the Irish and Poles were lighter than Portuguese and Italians. The Irish were also found lighter-haired and -eyed than Poles, the Portuguese were the darkest in this respect. These are facts on which I base my opinion unlike you or Don caballero. By the way 'typical' doesn't mean common, it means distinctive. This is what I mean when I say a typical Brit. You have a long way to go.

For being 'typical', something doesn't need necessaryly to be majoritary
May I ask approximately what percentage of British people do you think have this 'typical British look that you can't really describe but is impossible for a Frenchman to have'?

From my observations, a good 30/40%, maybe bit more.

I've already show you illustrations with photos... haven't you see them?
My questions are still unanswered:
1/ What are your source that say that french and British population look the same? I'm still waiting.
2/ Why should Britain have the same looking population as a country situated 800km further south?
3/ Why would it bother you that British population doesn't look like French one?
I've already show you illustrations with photos... haven't you see them?
My two questions are still unanswered:
1/ What are your source that say that french and British population look the same? I'm still waiting.
2/ Why would it bother you that British population doesn't look like French one?
Yes I've seen them and there is NOTHING about them they have that a French person can't NOTHING! There is also NOTHING about them that applies to 40% of all Britain's. Britain's like other Europeans are INDIVIDUALS there is no particular shaped face, eyes or noses, there is in fact a different combination of 'features' on every Britain with the exception of twins or the odd one or two that might happen to be lookalikes, yes lookalikes like my friend John Grimes who looks like Zinadine Zidan yet is as British as British can be. Please show me some PROOF that 40% of Britain's have a 'look' that is impossible for a Frenchman to have please?

This is because its seems you have no idea of what french people look like apparently... neither no idea what is France is in general, or where it is situated. For some reasons you want to believe that Britain=France. That just is not the case, for the good and for the bad. deal with it.
by the way, do you think that German populations looks like Italian, or that Japanese look like Brasilian?
The world is various, and there are variations on averages from places to places, that is the reality you still eternelly denying.
