    That’s the darkest hair I’ve ever seen. It’s interesting how Welsh & Irish have darker features than the English.

      I would put that down to the Welsh and Irish having more Celtic blood, whereas the Eastern side of the British Isles mixed more with Northern European races over the centuries.
