I have often wondered why the UK was listed separately from Europe. But I have seen it listed in publications about the tours of Europe and the UK. So I have pretty much said the same thing at times because it is listed that way a lot. And I also know the UK is part of Europe. So when Adam says that, I'm sure it has nothing to do with him not knowing something. We all misspoke about a place or something at one time or another. Doesn't mean we are clueless. But I'm sure this is not one of those times for Adam. He knows the UK is in Europe and is saying it the way they are presenting it.

I grew up in Canada, England and Europe were always 2 separate places. When they joined the European Union and combined their money into the Euro and you could travel to all the countries, work, live etc without worrying about the boarders, that's when things changed, at least that's what I know. Now with Brexit they will revert back to the old way. Most of the younger generation don't like it because they like the mobility. I guess we'll see how it all works out when the UK separates. I know the laws are made in Brussels and some in the UK resent that.

You have opinions and make comments so others can as well. It wasn't about YOU! LOL!

I know the laws are made in Brussels and some in the UK resent that. There won’t change much. It will only be very expensive for the UK (and the EU). The UK always had passport controls, it’s own currency, independent from the Euro, and their laws are (mostly) made in Westminster. There is free travel in Europe, but you are only allowed to live in another country for 3months, if you don’t find a job. That’s the law ( but many countries don’t control it.) After the brexit (I still hope, it won’t come), traveling and getting a work permit will be much harder. Since the UK voted for the brexit, there is a record number of Brits living in Germany, who are now applying for the German citizenship. The UK won‘t be paying anymore for the EU, but instead more for import and export ect. Many international companies will leave London. I don’t see a winner in the brexit. Sorry for being political now. It (the brexit, not your post 🙂) just bothers me. Good night!

But I don't want to "play telephone" again over a discussion how the UK is seen as part of Europe.
