The Cunning Celts Once the new visitors began to settle in, life went quite smoothly until England was invaded properly for the first time by the Celts. They came here in 650 ВС from Central Europe apparently looking for tin — please dont ask me why! The Celts were tall, blond and blue-eyed and so got all the best girls right away. This, of course, annoyed the poor Britons even more, but there was not much they could do about it as they only had sticks and fists to fight with. The Celts set up home in the south of England building flash wooden forts which the poor boneheaded locals could only mill around in awe and envy. Now England wasnt too bad a place to live for the next few hundred years (if you were tall, blue-eyed and blond). Then in 55 ВС the late great Julius Caesar — star of stage and screen — arrived with a couple of legions from Rome, Italy The refined Romans were repelled, in more ways than one, by the crude Celts. They did, however, come back a year later with a much bigger, better-equipped army — and guess what — were repelled again.
