Great post! Finally somebody with intelligence! Particularly point 2! Try telling some people on here this obvious point! I think Saxonwold thinks, that Britain is some sort of 'Anglo Saxon' world where people are some sort of 'pure breed' because through the centuries 'Anglo Saxons' have only been allowed to copulate with other 'Anglo Saxons', I can't understand how people can't see just what centuries of 'breeding' between different populations has done to European populations, he seriously believes all Britons are pale skinned! I mean come on!
You most likely will never be able to fully understand my statements. You are still confused!
Total nonsense. Scandinavian children are lighter but not much so than ethnic British kids. I gave a random photo of British kids. That was not selective. My daughter is in it. All of them tend to darken up when older. Two of them clearly will not darken and have not.
Look at a map.
Nonsense. The British have the lightest skin for sure and equally as light eyes. The most common hair colour in them all is brown. Where Scandinavians tend to have more blond, the British tend to have more red heads.
I recall being on a holiday in Greece. The hotel was mainly French and German. An English girl had wonderful vivid coppery red hair. It was not unusual to me. Many were all fascinated with her hair, and would point at her from afar, and kept asking questions about her hair. Some wanted to touch it. I thought it was odd that they were doings so. Maybe it was because I had two uncles and many friends who had red hair.
Come to think of it, when I was a teenager. All my friends were taller than me. I am just under 6 foot. I was the darkest with light brown hair that went blondish in the sun - in summer moths I was more fair/blond looking. The others, six of them, were strawberry blond, red, vivid blond and light blond/fair. Al had blue or greenish eyes. At the time it never registered with me as we never put any value on hair or eye colour. I noticed we were a light race when travelling in France on trains.
typical english students have round celtic faces and mostly brown hair.
Maybe babies and toddlers are mostly blond in the UK, but definitely not the children..
So what, those kids could pass for Germans also. Very little difference with British or German people regarding external appearance.
Back to the topic, I don't think blonde hair is seen as really exotic in Southern Europe. Black skin would be seen as more exotic than blonde hair in Southern Europe.
Yes, most of those kids might also be Northern Germans. But the almost orange hair and extreme pale/reddish skin of some of those childen are not common in Germany, either. That is a rather distinct British and also Irish look in my view.
This is a photo from a German school in Frankfurt, i.e. pretty much in the middle of the country:

He looked for the most germanic area in the UK, and even those have something that tell you they are brits going by facial features.. most of british kids look way different than german ones.. germans have different facial structure and are likely to be blonder/taller
Brits dont really look like germans at all.. only politically correct people like to tell all people look the same, but they dont.
Its easy to tell in those two pictures who is the british and who are the germans (even if you couldnt see the flags)
Also the orange hair is a minority in the UK, most brits have dark/mousy brown hair, compared to germans who lean more towards the lightbrown/Blonde side.
The guy on the left holding the check and some guys in the backside dont look really germanic though, more like variation from the Isles, which are Bronze Age peoples.

Or we could go to where they are mostly ethnic Britons in North Yorkshire:
You should find out some facts before posting. If you did and still posted then you are confused.
They have higher blondism than average english because thats the 5% of territory that got invaded the most... still their faces look english and not scandinavian.

There is a huge difference .. walk 5 minutes in any german city that is mostly made up by real germans and not recent foreigners and you will notice the clear difference in phenpotype.
There are several nationalities that resemble more germans than the Brits do.. The dutch, Danes, austrians, Flemish, German speaking swiss, Czech, Parts in Southern/eastern poland, some departments in North-east france, Norway, Sweden and even some further away places like Finland. Heck I even seen more Russians who could blend as germans than Brits... Brits are an isolate people and they are kind of easy to tell apart from mainland europeans.
I don't find those two women beautiful at all... Rugged faces, the one on the right looks like a witch with her huge chin
There have been so many migrations that it is almost impossible to tell what people look like in almost any given region in Europe. For instance in southern Germany people are, or rather used to be, not nearly as blond as in the north, but there have been many immigrants from former eastern German territories that were lost after the war. And also migrants from northern and western Germany. The south of Germany is a bit like California, people from all over the country move down there and it shows on the faces.
In more remote and less attractive places it is easier to find the "original" look. Here is a photo of fans from the Bavarian city of Straubing, they don't look like typical Germans, very few blonds... http://www.eishockey-24.de/wp-conten...11113_0673.jpg
In Britain it is not much different, a lot of Brits from all over the country have permanently settled in the south. Not to mention immigrants from abroad.
