In addition, there isn't much to connect U106 to Celtic speakers.
There is the Nordwestblock theory which tells that the area between the rivers Meuse, Elbe, Somme and Oise (Benelux, Western germany and Northern France)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany and possibly the eastern part of England during the Bronze and Iron Ages was neither Germanic, nor Celtic.
This area has the highest concentration of R1b U106 in Europe.
I Think that contraty to Nordwestblock inhabitants, the real Germanic people in Jutland had more R1a. England has huge frequencies of R1b U106 but lacks R1a.
R1b U106 could have been brought to England by many waves starting from the Bronze age from this neither Germanic, nor Celtic Nordwestblock area.
