Just humour us Brits...

We know we are European really but sometimes when we have to admit it we hear 'Jerusalem' playing in our heads and sulk.
Must be all that 'mid- day sun' :cookoo:

You speak for yourself msmedusa. As far as I am concerned I am a Scot. :smile: Europe starts at Calais. Or possibly Carlisle. It must be irritating to our French and German neighbours, they must feel like they are herding cats.

To be a Brit hisorialy you have to be born south of the Forth River on the island of Great Briton.

Metta,

Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)

'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra Panyapatipo

I'm from Europe, although that is somewhat vague. I am from the UK to be precise.

I guess you're Europe - like it or not... :thinking:

Not :tongue: None of the above. I am English, most Brits according to a recent poll do not consider the UK part of Europe . I therefore havent voted.

I'm in Urbana IL, but I'm "from" all over. Grew up military, attended more than a dozen schools, and spent a nice chunk of my childhood in Italy.
