    There are looks that are more likely to be common in each area, nothing is black and white.

    For example if someone asked me where do you these group of people came from. I'd probably say Scotland, though they could pass in the other regions.

    Nine out of ten concerns are completely unfounded.

    There are slight differences between each country, and also within each country - the blokes above I think I would guess as Scottish if I didn't know them, but that is only from living here the whole time

    Nonetheless seeing a load of blokes getting leathered in a mediterranean resort I wouldn't be able to tell the difference until they opened their mouths

    A lot of English have Scottish surnames or some ancestry, staying in Somerset for the last few years. Then you get lots of Welsh.

    Would be difficult for English people to tell when it is the most mixed area.

    I think Irish people are pretty distinctive-looking, but that isn't to say that some English or Scottish people might not look Irish...

    Make sense I guess in an ambiguous way because you did not explain how the Irish are distinctive looking but then again maybe the article I posted earlier in this thread did so adequately.

    I think technically Scots have more redheads probably because of mixing celt and norwegian (many west coast norwegians have red hair) and I was looking more for things like facial features or bodily features than hair and eye color even though it is less politically correct

    The Irish are the ones with the high human development index. They've surpassed the UK in terms of living standards. JamesBond007 is living in 1920.
