Thanks both.

My mother's family are from the NE coastal area of England so I harbour a notion that I might be a Viking.
However, whilst I am tall enough to be a Viking, I'm only half as wide and there's a conspicuous lack of a blonde blue eyed maiden on my arm, so 'Early English Peasant' it is then

PS It has to be said that I cut a dashing figure in a horned helmet.
