The British tended not to breed with their colonists, the only "stiff"
thing was their upper lip.

Meanwhile, the Spanish bred like rabbits, hence South America being
full of "Garcías, Sanchez, and Jiminez".

Note the lack of Indians called "Smith, Brown, Forbes or Walpole"

The 60 million Christian Indians all have British or Portuguese names.

Split about 50/50.

Never heard of 'Anglo Indians'? The only minority group in India guaranteed
their own MPs there

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
