Arrived in London this morning. Internet is spotty, but I'll try to report thoughts.

- almost no homeless, saw just one so far
- lots of trash though
- prices seem reasonable, a bit lower than SF, but that's because the pound is so low against the dollar
- the majority of people on the street are clearly not English; they are from everywhere else on earth

I did not know there was a Saint Chad:

Nonsense. It looks like you have a problem with men and women getting

The whole point of the comic is that the male hero of it is a regular English guy.

"Regular" English guys are Nordic and rarely have black hair. And for the few "jets" that do, it is unlikely both kids would have black hair. The fact that both the man and his kids have black hair implies that the man is an immigrant.

The original British, Irish, etc., did have dark hair, brown or blue eyes and light skin. Before various conquests from the Vikings, Franks, and Anglo Saxons etc. I'm not sure if it's true but I've read that Sean Connery would be an example. At least in recent history.

Back 10,000 years you reach cheddar man, with dark skin, dark curly hair and blue eyes... I think that's the farthest back there is data for.
