I could show you how complicated this all is, even if you make unjustifiable simplifying assumptions.
But I'd have to mention the word "Bayesian", and I don't want to pay copyright to Alex V...

I'm doing one of these as well. Bought one for my Dad and Son too. Told him I need confirmation...
Dad did the pen and paper route and got us back to 1700, all English with one surprise of a Munroe smuggled in a couple of hundred years back.

I do completely see why people love finding out about their family history, but I sort of see it that it's not as if I'm going to meet them and a huge amount of people are probably all tied in with royalty in some sort of way like Danny Dyer was.

Send me half the money and I'll send you back some plausable nationalities with percentages beside them and a random number between 0.1-4% with "neanderthal" written beside it.
£20 extra I'll through something exotic in.
£10 extra gets you the "I'm a racist so nothing funny" guarantee
Let me know what your favourite historical ethnic group is and I'll be sure to boost that up. (£20 extra for "viking" or "celtic").
Harmless but interesting "diseases" are £5 each or 3 for £10.

If you're interested in the Anglo-Indian background, read Diana Quick's autobiography, called A Tug on the Thread.

I can see that point of view. In my case, I just really enjoy history (I work in and around it) and while the big stories of history are interesting, it is the little personal stories that you can reconstruct and flesh out that make even more so.
Family history in one way of doing that which also happens to connect you in a vague way.
So to each their own, I guess.

Missus is obsessed with family tree's etc and so paid some wedge for it all to be done.
Have a ridiculous amount of jock in there (Campbell's who were traitors to William Wallace being the main bonus) and hardly any Irish or Welsh which was at least pleasing.
I literally couldn't care less though. Pointless nonsense.

My wife got me one for Christmas and I sent it off yesterday.
Curious as to whether it will confirm or rubbish (or neither) all the genealogy my family has done.

"I might investigate this. I'm fairly sure I'm made up only of Welsh and irish stock but it'd be interesting if I turned out to be part Somalian, or Jewish or summat."

I would not bother with ancestryDNA or MyHertiage from looks of it they are lazy with their categories, anything that has a category as British or British Isles is bullshit.
