Most people from Europe are Indo-European in origin (at least their languages are, and some suggest the peoples as well - it's to do with how you think Europe (and the east) was repopulated at the end of the last major glaciation) - with some exceptions on the Western fringes of Europe (i.e. Basques) - the main exceptions are those who speak Finno-Ugric (Hungary, Estonia, Finland) - who may represent a discrete racial as well as language group. Romanies may stem originally from the North Indus valley (there are some language similarities) - I believe their language is also indo-European. It is normally easiest to distinguish peoples by the clothes they wear, how they wear their hair, facial hair etc. - dress an indo-European speaker in a city suit and (skin coloration apart) it would be very difficult to distinguish one from the other as regards geographic origin. Although there are 'typical' Swedes, or Germans, or French in fact each country offers a wide range of different physionomies - often diet (how large they grow) and sun exposure are the key differentiators.

The problem you have with that description RCharles13 is today's

fashion. If someone had asked me to elaborate on "East European" a couple of years ago I would have said "you know, skinny stonewashed jeans, trainers, tight leather jacket, short hair" but these days I'd look in the mirror and...

So, as I have argued above, you (and probably I and most others) would most effectively define 'coming from a geographic location in Europe' by clothes and hair style. Which might as well be the actual description in the first place.

There is some types though - I can often pick out fellow welshmen - before I here the accent

but could be the expressiveness (hands) :).

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
