I was under the impression it was the other way around from the last few

Nonsense, Britain was floated out to sea long ago
by the ancient Britons (woad-covered) in order to
get away from the ancient Gauls (garlic-covered).

A cardboard replica was left just west of Normandy.

Which reminds me of the first Roman law passed governing the Britons:
Evidently the ancient Brits would throw packets of blue vegetable dye at the Romans, absolutely ruining their togas, the response was to seize the little bags they kept the woad in: hence the law Cul-de-sac, or
No throw woad.

The first blue joke.

Adorning every public street
And seem to breathe in stone, or
Move their marble feet.
