Nonsense, Pardillo doesn't even know what Nordic is. The idea of Nordic is too great, because it depends on what we mean by Nordic. He hasn't been around British people more than I have. My family has clearly links with my English side from Lindsey in England O.K. Where do you think I learned to have a passion for rugby, and I played it too in college and amateur level. I got this passion from my English cousins. I've been all over western Europe at least, no need to hear your nonsense. I know much more than you and Pardillo ever will. You only contributed lies and a baggage of emotions. Nothing concrete or scientific. The blondest regions of Europe for your information, since you so ignorant of it, are centtral areas of Norway, Sweden and Finland. Yes Norway has more blondes and at the same time much more red-heads, than Denmark. This is why for some time people erroneously linked red hair in Britain to Norse invaders. However this is still a hot topic, since Ireland, Scotland, Wales and northern England still have a much higher ratio of red-heads than Norway or any Scandinavian country.
So a dark-haired British person is not Nordic, but these Dutchmen which aren't blonde are Nordic, according to you. I am amazed at your agenda.

A frisian singer Nynke Laverman looks Celtic again, oops.
Janna Eijer, also from Friesland could blend easily in any Anglo-Saxon/English population. The average Anglo-Saxon had brown hair, light eyes and a fair complexion.
Sven Kramer, also an athlete from Friesland.
Frisian female poet Albertina Soepboer
Abe Lenstra, a previous Frisian football player

None of them have ancient british features despite their brown hair, you have little talent to tell apart ancient british features from continental ones.
You are reading too much coon, Norway has a lot of brown haired people, but also of course tons of blondes. You have no idea what you are talking about, neither I think you have been all over western europe.
Pardillo sees european tourist everyday, he lives in spain, the favorite holiday place of the brits. So his opinion is much more important than what some british descendants who arrived to the US in 1600 think about that. You again have too much imaginations and skewed view of reality.
Yes those central areas of norway/sweden/finland that were taught by your master peter frost? dude never been to europe hahaha.
What fat american wrote those statics? did he leave alabama or missisipi when he wrote that? Or did he read some fancy anecdote on popular tabloids?
Look at the faces of modern englishmen, and you can see that not many of them are direct descendants of anglosaxons, some are slighty mixed with newcomers , and a bunch of people are nearly pure ancient british. Paul bettany look alikes must be like 5% of the british, if not less.
Many of your "fair haired" brits/aussies, etc look like this:
you can see the ancient brit mix in both of them, despite not being pure ancient brits
rather than this:
People like paul bettany are very uncommon among real englishmen, for every one looking like that there like 100 looking like the beatles or gallagher brothers.
Ryan Gosling, Canadian of mainly English and 1/4 French ancestry, would blend in the Netherlands, Danemark easily.
his Icelandic look-alike who seem much younger.
This Englishman is not 'less Nordic' than Bergkamp
Another Englishman, who looks more Scandinavian/North Germanic but doesn't look like Paul Bettany.

You're so mistaken you don't know anything about British people. As I have said they vary from Germanic to Celtic. Dan Cole is English, and he would easily pass for Danish. He could be called Barbarossa like that German crusader in the Middle Ages.
Pardillo who I bet has been among much more brits that you ever will be surronded in your life already told the Brits dont look nordic as a whole, not even close. There are some brits who might resemble a more northern european look, but most simply dont fit that Idea.
Abusing the bleach a little bit, dont you think so? Those blondes look like the typical American "Blondes".
You're funny everytime a person of British ancestry has blonde hair, they bleach it but someone else of a different ancestry has blonde they didn't bleach it, right. That's called being a little slow, you know.

No, the guy you posted above is a natural blond, but he is some robust variant from the british Isles rather than a germanic variant.
Yep a fat American would knock you flat out, malnourished European. Please refrain using your rudeness, you are no match for me when it comes to insults, O.K. Let us be wise and be civil and conduct this discussion calmly. I don't want to receive remarks from the moderator .

You are posting people who belong to the 5% of very nordic/germanic looking brits, most brits dont look like that.
My uncle married a Swedish girl many years ago, strangely, my uncle looks more like the steorotypical Swede than her. She has strange brown-black hair, somehow slanted eyes and strange cheekbones. A lot of Swedes are like that. There are about five to six Swedish girls that married locals, and they are have those slightly slanted eyes and cheekbones, they get real tanned.
There was a discussion in a Spanish talk show about the myth of the Swedish girls, some people said that most of them were blonde and others say that they weren't. The Swedish ambassador called and said that blondes were a minority.

Most of them look mostly ancient british, except janick gers.
Bruce doesn't look Germanic? What does he look like then?
Yes, those pics represent typical Brits, but you can find both extremes. For example, some time ago we had a table of about 12 people and I thought they were Spanish on a Bachelor Party, I asked them and they told me they were Welsh and Irish. They looked so Spanish that I asked them if they had Spanish ancestry, and no, they were entirely Welsh and Irish.
I also have some clients from Kent that speak very good English, they could pass for Danish.
But in general, most are like those pics you posted.
