MORGAN: You've been slightly criticized for knocking the British enthusiasm. As if you haven't picked up much enthusiasm. You feeling it now?
M.ROMNEY: Well, I'm delighted to see the kind of support that has been around the torch for instance. I watched last night on BBC an entire program about the torch being run across Great Britain. And the kind of crowds. I guess millions of people that turned out to see the torch. That's what you hope to see.
MORGAN: I made a fascinating discovery last night, Governor, which is that you are more English than I am. Did you know this?
M.ROMNEY: I did not know that.
MORGAN: Your great, great, great grandfather, Miles Romney, was born in Preston, Lancashire. My great, great grandfather was born in Ireland. You are technically more English than me.
M.ROMNEY: Well, I knew that my ancestors came from here. And I know Miles Romney. And Miles Park Romney. These are the folks that came and helped settle the West. But it's -- I didn't realize I was more English than you are but --
MORGAN: Do you feel -- do you feel partly English?
M.ROMNEY: Well, I'm married to a girl from Wales.
MORGAN: Yes.
M.ROMNEY: And I'm a guy from Great Britain so I'm -- I feel like this is home, too, I guess.
A. ROMNEY: And I saw a good omen as we were driving in. The road in front the horse park where we're sitting in front of is Romney Road.
MORGAN: Is it really?
A. ROMNEY: Yes.
MORGAN: Isn't that extraordinary?
M.ROMNEY: Yes.
A. ROMNEY: I thought it was quite interesting.

to wrap fish. He just could figure out how to make it be still.
