[SIZE=5]Blue is the most common eye colour in Britain, researchers found.
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]All eyes in the country were once brown, but a study revealed they are now 48 per cent blue, 30 per cent green and 22 per cent brown.
[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]The study, which mapped out eye colour across the UK and Ireland, revealed that the Scots and the Irish are more likely to have blue eyes than others - especially those living in the south.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]Scientists believe the reason[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Map of blue-eyed Britain: As scientists suggest colour is more attractive, study shows it is most common in Ireland and Scotland, but least likely in the south | Daily Mail Online[/SIZE]


I was in the UK last week and I met up with some friends of mine (all who were British)
and there were 13 of us (including me)
and I was the only person there who didn't have blue eyes !

when I lived in the uk for most of my childhood I always felt outnumbered
by blue eyed people, I myself have light brown eyes

I never realised blue eyes were this common though !

I have brown eyes. My sister has brown eyes. Everyone else in my family has blue or green eyes - my mother included. My sister and I are different because our father is dark skinned so technically we are interracial, but we look like we are from the south of France so I just put myself as white on forms. If I told people that my father is dark skinned they'd be confused.

But "race is a social construct" they told us. No it's not we are genetically different.

I am from Ireland originally and I have grey eyes and my mother has green the rest are blue

It is. WTF

Race is suppose to mean we're completely different to each other, we ARE NOT THAT genetically different we are one species.

When does gray equal blue? I see lots of gray-eyed people, very few truly blue-eyed.

Well a lot of people have blue eyes probably most but there is still a large number with brown and hazel eyes. In my fathers family everyone has blue eyes.

Yeah but you said you have ethnic ancestry so that will be an influence.
