I must have gone to the wrong school... I was always thought Britain was that island west of France... out there in the ocean kind of like... But what do I know....
I only know that when I went to school, we were told that the British felt insulted when they were called European. That was then, maybe my teacher was right, then. Maybe she was wrong! But I always tried to give the British that respect, as I was taught. I certainly did not mean to offend anyone. We were taught that the reason Britain did not want to be called European, was because of the hostility with France!! So, if I am wrong, blame my teacher!!
