most of Algeria, and all of Morocco and Mauretania actually West of the UK (Don)

All three statements are simply wrong as a swift look at the bigger picture shows.

As for "Middle East", the traditional definition only includes Egypt (of the African countries, the "G8 definition of the Greater Middle East" includes all of Arab North Africa.

Don, a hint: the meridian lines in your atlas may be curved. so if you take a ruler parallel to the side of the atlas to determine "West of" you may come to a wrong conclusion.

Wolfgang (who once has claimed in Mudcat that the Faroes are West of Ireland and had to be corrected by McGrath)
