I thought that a lot of it had to do with until America was opened up. The
British Isles were the furthest west that you could go. That and in the dark and
medieval ages. Britain was rich and imported continental workers, many of whom
stayed. And all the invading Scandinavian, Germanic and French armies. (Almost
forgot the Spanish from the armada who were shipwrecked on the North West
coast.)
