Lesk,'Brit' eh? I think they were the British tribes that the Anglo Saxons( from Germany) nudged away. Some of those 'Brits' went to France hence 'Brittany'.
Then England was invaded by the French (Normans -Viking origin).The Kings and Queens of England have histories connected with most parts of Europe.....but talking of Europe the Videophone should prove an invaluable tool for multilanguage communication - if you've ever tried speaking in a foreign language over the phone, or indeed spoken English to a foreigner with a poor grasp of English...very difficult and frustrating for both...Videophones just the ticket.
