I remember reading a book a few years ago, about the first Britons who were sent to Australia to serve prison sentences. I thought they were just going there to serve time in Australian prisons. They weren't. They actually built the prisons they were to serve their sentences in. There was NOTHING there😳.

When they'd served their sentences, they were each granted a pretty sizeable piece of land to do with, as they wished and in effect, became the first white Australians.

Ergo, B is just a descendant of some Jack the lad of a few hundred years ago🤷🏻‍♂️.
