Well Boudica, a red head herself, was welsh. The ginger gene is a Celtic gene. Welsh, Scottish and Irish and the soft lad's calling me paddy boy. Foolish.

Get yourself to the South of Italy & you will see redhead Italians. thats where my mothers father is from.
Ginger Italians... if that is the case which I'm unsure it is it's as a result of the Romans raping celts during their occupation of Britain. I take Seamus back and Christen you Giuseppe Murphy.
