Just a game, it's my contention that I could walk down any street in Europe, be it London, Dublin, Berlin, Oslo, Helsinki, Madrid, Lisbon, Rome, Vienna, Warsaw, Moscow, Athens or Naples and I wouldn't stand out, not a personal observation about my looks or lack of! more an observation about my physical type, it just occured to me as an idea. Perhaps a bad one, who knows.

Anyway here we are:

So would I look out of place in your street or would you think hey whose that fool?

Others can play the game as well if they choose and are sad enough.

You look exactly British, imo :D

You do have that pan-European look that would let you feel at home anywhere ;)

You wouldn't pass as a typical Greek but you could very easily be one, as your phenotype is not so uncommon here.

I don't think you would look out of place in my domain. ;)

You look like a ruffian to me. ;)

J/K. You'd fit in around here no problem. Some of the old stock Yankees around here have a similar look to you.

Nice Mjollnir.

IMO you look more british than anything, but indeed I guess you could pass as native in most of Europe.

Hell I would look out of place in most British inner cities. Or as the late Bernard Manning quipped on a trip to Bradford, "I felt like a spot on a domino".

Knowing you're English I can see the "Englishness" in you... :D But then again, yeah, if you came to my hometown your face wouldn't really stand out. You actually remind me of a couple of people I know.

Funny thing is that I'm the same. I mean, of the countries I've been to I've always passed as a local (until I opened my mouth or somebody started talking to me that is! ;) ).

General European look indeed, rather Northern but not as much for not having similar variants further South or East so to say.

One can see a certain British look in you, but I don't know whether I would have noticed it, at least going after this picture, if not knowing.

I don't think Liffrea looks like that guy, but rather is basically Nordid with an influence like this guy. So standard Nordid + Trond Giske would make it...

Atlanto-Nordid + Cromagnoid-Alpinoid - both in the widest sense, are obviously the base in of a lot of populations in Europe...
