Daily Mail said:Genetic study reveals Yorkshire is most Anglo-Saxon part of UK, while East Midlands is most Scandinavian
The average Briton is only really 37 per cent British - with the remainder of their genes coming from European ancestors from as far afield as Scandinavia, Spain and Greece.
DNA testing has also revealed how the people of Yorkshire are officially the most British people in the land, with their genetic makeup containing an average 41 per cent Anglo-Saxon stock.

This is a very odd presentation of whatever the study actually says. They're using "British" to mean "Anglo-Saxon" and "Irish" to (I think) mean Celtic. I have no idea how they differentiated between "Scandinavian" and "Anglo-Saxon," or "Anglo-Saxon" and "German." Wales is more "Anglo-Saxon" than Anglia? What?
Anyone have insight into the actual data from Ancestry?
