    Very interesting podcast, although I would completely disagree with the notion that Brit’s haven’t been going to the continent for very long ( 8:11 ); its well documented that peoples of the British isles have been travelling between continental Europe for a long time (ie. the Grand Tour’), and hold a significant proportion of Norman ancestry as a people.
