NO SIR, or MADAM England is part of Great Britain which is part of the United Kingdom which is, by default, part of europe (note lack of capital 'e' because it is so far down the line of importance, that it might just as well be in the dustbin) If you are unable to understand that, then a couple of questions....... Where were you between 1939 and 1945? and what Country were you born in? Mike -- -------------------------------------- Royal Naval Electrical Branch Association www.rnshipmates.co.uk www.nsrafa.com

Mike (not(a)here.thanks) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying : >> Y'see, England IS Europe... > NO SIR, or MADAM > > England is part of Great Britain which is part of the United Kingdom > which is, by default, part of europe Thank you. England is Europe. Same as France is Europe. Or Germany. Or Luxembourg. Same as Nigeria is Africa, and Bangladesh is Asia. Glad we can agree on that. > If you are unable to understand that, then a couple of > questions....... > > Where were you between 1939 and 1945? My mother was born in Bristol in 1939, my father in Lincolnshire in 1938. So - for what I believe was quite a good reason, as I'm sure you'll agree - I wasn't actually doing much of importance during those particular years. > and what Country were you born in? London. So I'm British. Therefore, I'm also a European - because I was born and reside in a European country, and therefore carry a standard European passport, issued by the UK Passport Authority. |
