Really don't understand why I always get north Italy + Switzerland + north/central mainland Greece. Are these populations that similar?
They are not that similar, but they have one thing in common: They are a mix of a very Northern and a very Southern ancestral component. In case of Northern Italy it is mostly Celto-Germanic and diverse Mediterranean, in the case of mainland and Peleponnese Greeks it is Slavic and diverse Mediterranean. If the model focusses on North : South ratios, the outcome makes sense I guess.
I guess you have Eastern European/Slavic ancestry though? Because overall you rather tend towards the Eastern model, since your best hits seem to be in Albania/Northern Greece.
Yes, similar ratios of ancient ancestry as Riverman mentioned
If you run 2 of yours most similar populations (Albania & Italia Romagna), they both get similar results on an Iron Age model, similar amount of Illyrian-Like and extra Anatolian + a Northern source (Celto-Germanic for Italians and Balto-Slavic for Albanians)

I plot in the North Sea, 30 miles east of Lynemouth, Northumberland, England, which is just north of Newcastle.
Northumberland is the northernmost English county.

Do you score higher Celtic on the various calculators compared to Anglo-Saxon/Germanic? Your map and mine are close. You have a few more minor red dots into Germany than me, but your darkest dots seem concentrated on both sides of the English Channel.

Depending on the models, I usually come in around 60% Celtic, 35% Germanic and 5% Southern European
