Why do UK people say: "we go to Europe" - GoFuckYourself.com

I hear this very often.

Since when UK is not part of Europe?

adder · 01-03-2006, 01:48 PM

UK has never been a part of this stinking Europe. We are independent and we do not care of who live on the other side of English channel

RuthB · 01-03-2006, 01:51 PM

we use to RULE Europe, so I think it's just the British Pride maintaining the 'separation'.

We are BRITISH, not EUROPEAN

it amazes me how some of us Brits can be SO patriotic to 'the old days' when our 'Empire' has gone to the dogs!

That's the main reason but it's less fun making it logical

Much better to take the piss out of the funny bloody foreigners on the mainland with their snail and song bird eating habbits.

Sarah_Jayne · 01-03-2006, 03:09 PM

lol I have this joking and lovingly had argument with my friends all the time.

They mean mainland Europe but they are also making a point of trying to seperate themselves from the political body of Europe rather than geography.

A famous headline: Fog in the channel: Europe cut off.

Lee · 01-03-2006, 05:14 PM

Quite simply its because we try to be geographically correct. If you look at the wording of your question you may just see that at no point does it imply we arent part of Europe.

BTW I never hear that term, although its probably easier than reeling off a list of individual countries.

Theo · 01-03-2006, 05:21 PM

when they move here they state EU to take advantage of the tax deductions, if they were patriotic they would complaint on that lol

Brits don't like Europe and I appreciate that.

Adult-biz · 01-03-2006, 05:54 PM

Why do UK people say: "we go to Europe"

You are probably confused because what Brits do say is "we are travelling across Europe" which simply means they are doing just that (country to country crossing borders with no need to take to the waters).
