I thought that they just divided America up that way so that it would fit in the atlas better! What about Central America then? Where is the dividing line between North and South? I would guess Panama 'cos there's a bit of a line down there. But don't worry, Alex - we've got some Europe in the Caribbean and in South America as well. I think we just do it to make it cheaper for you to have a European holiday!

I was just trying to point out how silly the concept of a European Union citizen can end up being. If the UK did the same thing and included its own overseas territories as well, it would get even sillier.

Most of the citizens of the EU have spent centuries beating the crap out of each other. If the EU only stops us doing that, I'm all for it. As for myself, I don't care. I'll just try to be as human as I can.
