Well I don't see myself as European ahhh Great Britain has more of a ring to it don't you think:D
plus we still have the Pound and none of that old Euro shite, maybe that's why the Americans see us as seperate? they have to change up there currency when they cross the Channel to us!
Don't forget also, that the UK is one of the most ethnicaly tolerant and mixed that you could find any place in Europe.

Sure it sounds better, way better!
Still Europe though.
Its just a geograpohical location, with lots of cultural difference - that you are more diverse than the rest of Europe doesnt make you not a part of that geographical location:-)
I dont know what Euroshyte you are talking about that All of Europe has but not GB???
Keep in mid that many countries in Eurpope dont have the Euro, Sweden dont, we never had..
Then maybe Scandinavia should also be a separate continent:-)
I acctually dont know an American that dont look at The UK as Europe, thats why I found it so curious. Think you even have cooler celebrities etc than the rest of us in Europe.
Dont get me wrong I love GB and I am a complete Anglophil:-)

On the other hand, I think a lot of people elsewhere in Europe dont consider the UK as being European in the same sense as other countries. I have met people who thought the UK wasnt in the European Union !!!!

Not all European countries are in the European Union.
They are still Europe.

There are six or seven continents depending if you count The Americas as two or not. All countries belong to one of them.

Maybe Im to old and maybe these days, there is not only New Math but also New Geography
:-)

I acctually find this very interresting...... I always take continents as a physical location, nothing more... maybe that is changing? But then it gets really complicated...

Hey I never said the rest of Europe had the Euro, i probably should have worded it better, uhm uhm we are one of the few remaining who don't;)

Anyway I think it's alot to do with being an Island but not the insignificant kind, we try to get into the whole European all jolly lads together and it never works out, just look at the Eurotunnel a massive steaming pile of debt, never really did what it was supposed to do (make us feel more easily connected to Europe) to be honest I live in Kent and no one I know uses it for there trips, unless there feeling flush in the pocket, ferry is much cheaper, when the weather is bad Lorries are backed up and parked all the way down the M20 that's how connected we are :smt011:p
