The East Midlands is mainly Scandanavian and London is the most Diverse.The Welsh are infact mainly Spanish and Portuguese.The Scots are mainly Finnish and North West Russian.

Yes maybe i worded it slightly wrong
'People living in Scotland have the highest amount of Finnish/Northwest Russian heritage (1.31 percent), which is perhaps explained by their geographic proximity.

Welsh residents have the highest proportion of ancestry from the Iberian Peninsula (three percent).'

I was joking, Monkey.

England - East of England British (36.29%), Europe West (22.52%), Irish (17.46%), Scandinavia 9.71%), Iberian Peninsula (3.43%), Eastern Europe (2.03%), Italy/Greece (2.53%), European Jewish (1.61%)

That's me and my lot, I reckon.

I'm surprised it's not the West Midlands tbh as the black country accent is often noted as being the closest dialect to old english that's still around and in use.

Hehe, when we were all studying Chaucer at school, our teacher got us all to read it in a thick West Country accent, as that's what she thought was closest to Old English. I might have fun now re-reading with Black Country :D
