British closest to their roots

British –Closest to their roots
You will be surprised to learn that the British who conquered the entire world are actually closest to their roots and their simplicity is reflected in their Surnames and although most of these are based on their ancient (traditional) occupations (almost all traditional occupations are covered) i. e. castes yet there is no evil caste system like that prevalent in India. The rest of the British are named after colors now is it not simplicity. Here are a few samples. Please add to the list.
