Other terms such as 'Celtic' and 'Dark Ages' spring to mind, too. Is there a 'Celtic' culture in the UK or is it a revisionist attempt at creating a modern cultural identity using terms borrowed from the past? Were the Dark Ages simply Roman church PR? I would imagine that to the natives of the British isles, the exit of the Romans meant that things could go on as before they showed up with their bath houses and underfloor heating.
