Why UK and Europe? Why not just Europe?
Why is this category called UK and Europe? The UK is in Europe.
Ireland is further west that the UK and is included in the overall Europe category. Did I miss a seismic shift?

Re: Why UK and Europe? Why not just Europe?
The English Chanal may not look very wide on a map but it was too wide for The Spanish in 1855 and too wide for Napoleon or Kaiser Bill or Hitler to get across; for 500 years we have fought to stay out of Europe and we will continue to fight.
It's just a pity we aren't allowed to sink their bloody boats any more. |

Re: Why UK and Europe? Why not just Europe?
Hi Cod, if anything Europe and UK should be two different forums. We have a lot of British members that consider themselves British first and European second. I would hate to be known as 'that guy from Europe'. I know you would feel the same.
The mods have got the categories spot on. Quote:

Re: Why UK and Europe? Why not just Europe?
I'll start a movement to get a "Luxembourg Only" forum thread started... Somehow I do have the feeling that it's just going to be me
 ...but that's ok !
