And that response says to me that you are also part of the problem.

and I think you are.

Are we "even" now, or in your mind, you have some advantage? : )
hint: I know that you don't.

the fact that Great Britain was not a geogaphical part of Europe as Europe is a Continent (from the latin for continuous) and the Geographic area British isles are not a continuous part of the European continental land mass

I happen to be speaking a language in which Europe is called a 'världsdel', a part of the world. No indication of "continousness" in that term so I guess it's okay for me and my compatriots to think of you and your isles as being European

Eurasia as a continent does fit my personal views of a continent allthough other posts have brought tektonic plates into the discusion (continental shelves) which then brings into play the fact that both china and france are on the same plate but different continents and allso the fact that china and India are on the same continent (asia) but different plates ....i still have the view that The British isles are islands and not part of a continent after all spain is nearer to africa the it is to most of Europe (much closer than England is to Europe)
Europe is an area!.. so is Great Britain!... How would you define an area ???

Europe is an area! Asia is also an area yet the 2 are connected, Eurasia. What about Russia? It is connected as well. You are confusing physical connection with physical area.

and Scotish kings acctually took hold of the English throne in 1604 not the other way round

well pretty much the other way round, in reality. It's what might be called in modern corporate parlance a 'reverse takeover' - actually fairly typical of the things done by Elizabeth Tudor, probably one of the most brilliant politicians of all time. So the monarch of Scotland having been forced to abdicate in favour of her 13 month old son was beheaded due to 'treason' against a country that wasn't hers, her son was raised to be a protestant and thus eligible for the English succession (his father having been murdered in unexplained circumstance when he was less than a year old), and the two countries remained separate until the act of Union in 1707, when the two countries became a single country, the Kingdom of Great Britain. So, strictly, England is no longer a 'country', it ceased to be in 1707 when it subsumed Scotland.

Would that be "Elizabeth Tudor" as in the WELSH TUDORS who ruled the English at that time

It's become very obvious LittleDicky that you are just silly and this diatribe of yours is baseless, totally lacks common sense and proves your ignorance of the norm. You would fit nicely into the deep south of the US of A or with the likes of WGArts hiding in the jungle. The drivel spewing forth from you serves no further purpose than to prove to all of us your incredible ignorance of accepted fact.
