I liked it, especially when you gave examples such Emma Watson, her very fair skin ("English rose").

Perhaps for adults, but if they are ethnic Dutch or ethnic German, most were born blonde.

Brown hair is the most common hair color in the Netherlands and Germany, though both countries have a significant blonde-haired populations which are more frequent in their respective northern regions than in their southern regions. Obviously many are born blonde-haired, but we could say the same for Britain and Ireland, many of the children are blonde/light-haired or even red-haired.

Some of the false accusers on these threads, speak about how "dark-haired" John Terry , the Chelsea soccer player is. They are ignorant of the fact that John Terry was blond in his childhood. Hair darkens as we grow into adulthood, just part of evolution.

This is the young blonde-haired John Terry.

In this picture below, the first blond-haired boy in the first row kneeling at the far-left is the famous English soccer player David Beckham .

You cannot make sure that you all have it. You already have it, but maybe you can't tell because you're from there. See. It is usually people who are outside the British Isles, who would recognize it. As I have said previously, the "British look" is not just a singular one, but there are more variations. Other countries also have their looks, like Russians, Spaniards, Poles, etc... Some looks overlap within neighboring countries, like western Britain and Ireland or northern France and northern Belgium, northern Poland and Lithuania etc...

Don't be jealous of the British. I know you still having "anti-English" feelings, as some French people usually resent the English perhaps due to history. France on the other hand is larger and much more diverse than the British Isles. The difference from those who are native to Midi Pyrenees and those of Basse Normandie is much greater than anywhere within the British Isles. Some of the loveliest women, I have ever seen were from from France too, something you should be proud of!

Jealous ? Oh you're too funny. Anti-English ? How do you do to put so much nonsense in just a few words ? If there is someone who is not "anti-English" it is me, you know. Oh well, I forgot, you don't know.

And seriously I don't know WTF you're talking about history between France and Britain and blah blah, this has nothing to do with it all, but like always you seem to not be able to speak of something else. Maybe you're a little bit insecure...
