I took Ancestry.com DNA and found out that I am 89% British isles. Now I don’t have to read the article.

1. You're out to dinner. Your fish arrives overcooked, the potatoes almost raw. Do you: a) Send the dish back to the kitchen straight away and request one that's properly cooked. b) Grumble loudly and start composing a bad Tripadvisor review. c) Soldier on until the waiter asks 'how was your meal?' and respond 'lovely thanks'.Just don't complain about a dirty fork.

My DNA results from them is 37% British/Irish and 99% European, mostly German and Norman France. So, who cares about what holiday dates I know or don’t.

With all due respect to my Grand Mother, I am not English:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Well I don’t intend to visit England so I’ll just keep speaking in the American idiom.

I’m a little of everything, but the major ones are Portuguese (from both mom and dad), German and English.

I had ancestors on BOTH sides of the Revolution, although the ones fighting for the Crown were paid to do so...

"Im one of the Germanic horde that overran north America." Same Germanic hordes that overran England and the continent.
