European here (Brit). I could drive for 13 hours along the M60 and still be on the M60. No problem comprehending that.

I detect a lie. You aren't in Europe anymore. Sorry that your stupid brethren voted you out, but you're just not. Hope you have a good day!

TIL if you're not part of EU then you're not in Europe.

I didn't realise that.

You heard him, lads. We can stick a big sail in the middle of the Peak District, and fuck off to sunnier climes!

The people on the Calais ferry are going to be surprised as fuck to set out to sea one day and see that we've finally gone.

You should update Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe still includes all the British Isles.

(What Brexshit brought us was an exit from the EU. Not Europe.)

Sitting in traffic doesn't count, XD

No need for the M60. This can easily happen on Gods punishment of the English for what they did to the Irish AKA the London Orbital Parkway.

I picked the M60 instead of the M25 because I figured some nerd would point out that the M25 isn't a closed loop.

Didn't occur to me at the time that that nerd would be me.

Are you still European post-brexit? Also, your island isn't attached to the Eurasian continent

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Yes. You're conflating Europe with the EU. You don't have to be on the Continent: Iceland is in Europe according to Wikipedia.
