Eddie explains that the differences between the north and the south directly relate to the division of england due to the settlement on viking invaders. He even does a DNA test!

  • "Yippe I passe the vikingtest" uh whats so bad having Scandinavian genes.? Here in Holland I wish those beautiful Scandinavian would come and settled down instead of all these East -Europenas,, Arabs; Africans and Latin americans other pople that destroy our country. Still hating vikings for things they did 1300 years ago is plain stupid.

  • its all true, dont you know your history? i'm a yorkshireman and we have more in common with the scandanavians than southerners in england, UP THE VIKINGS

  • @Pigslag - You genocidal maniac.

  • @SystematicChaos08 - Normans were viking settlers that had conquered the beach of Normandy picking up the Norman language - Very old French.

  • @stuntladz - The Vikings left no more than 5% on Northern English ancestry. You are not Scandinavian.

    The Saxons also left no more than 5% of Southern England. They are not Germanic. It is YOU who needs to know YOUR genetic data. Eddy is an extreme left wing who wants to justify mass immigration and demographic displacement of ALL of England by saying they have no common ancestry over the last 1000 years. You stupid FOOL.

  • Interesting that he does have a Y-chromosome after all ;-)

  • @Treblaine

    Ha, good one - actually we do say "ting" in Dan, Swe and Norw. today, but it used be "thing" way back.

    Our parliament is called the "Folke-ting" btw. - sim. to the "Tyn(g?)-wald" ( ~ vælde? ( rule) )

    that they have on the Isle of Man to this day.

  • @fleskkett223

    Nice to know that we have some spare Vikings down in Holland -

    they may come in handy some day LOL

  • @stuntladz

    Yes, you do - there are traces everywhere. You would be amazed how many basic words

    in Danish you already "know" without having learnt it all, as soon as you see through our

    "weird" spelling - and spot a few letters that have been lost here&there, or consonants

    that have shifted along some typical patterns ( eg. -k -> -g ).

    The same goes for vowels, which shifted a lot in E. from ca. 1400 to 1700.

    Before you had sim. vowels to us ( eg. mus [moos] = mouse, hus[hoos] etc. )

  • That's interesting, but surely if you're only testing the Y chromosone you'd only get descendants on the male side, whereas the name I inherited from my grandfather on my mother's side "Danby" is a viking name, whereas my Dad's genes would probably show a strong Celtic link instead.

  • This is AWESOME! :D

  • We're all English people and proud of it!
