    3. @tuulen The cost of delivery from and to BritainsDNA is only 13 Pound so it isn't too bad. @Paul I personally have no problem with the geographical name British Isles. But I agree that a lot of Irish have problems with the term. The collective rugby team from Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales, the British & Irish Lions, not so long ago were only called the British Lions. This really annoyed the Irish.

    3. Aidan, >From what I now hear apparently saliva samples are no longer accepted in the UK, or can no longer be legally flown or shipped to there. The term British Isles derived from the Romans of a couple of thousand years ago. Yes, we all know the history after that, but in effect we all are British, yes, you and I.
