Maybe I'm missing something here but isn't Europe a "continent"?Avoiding the currently politically charged question of "British" and "Europe" (I have Irish nationality by the way!), England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, The Isle of Man, Anglesey, the Hebrides, Orkneys, Shetland, Scilly Isles, Isle of Wight and any other attached or unattached bits of aforementioned places are technically "European"?
Plus of course all the other non-EU and non-EFTA countries technically within the continent of Europe!
I think Burke and McGrath have both made the same points.
