Shocking news on the BBC and across most of the British press. A guy called Gordon brown who was born in Scotland and speaks with a Scottish accent and a guy called David Duncan Cameron have Scottish ancestry and had ancestors who lived within 150 miles of each other! I bet they spoke to each other loads! Apparently there are also a number of people in England who are English by ancestry and their ancestors used to live within five miles of each others!
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!!!

I wonder how many people live within 150 miles of me?
15-20 million?
Quite. As someone once said, simple mathematics dictates that everyone who starts tracing their ancestry eventually traces it back to Edward III. In fact there are probably one or true well-bred basset hounds who could trace their ancestry back to Edward III.
I suspect this was just quite interesting, so thanks for repeating it...rather than massively consequential.
much like a lot of what you do...
