Which European country is closest to the UK? > Which European country is closest to the UK? Oh go on tell us. Does not matter if it is the wrong NG. They might drive SAABs there too. Spain if you are thinking of Gibraltar ... otherwise I would say France (I think it is nearer than Ireland - Eire). What is the catch? Charles :-)  SignaturePlease remove _removeme_ to reply.

Signature"Sorry Sir, the meatballs are Orf" The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com > Which European country is closest to the UK? That would be Ireland, as it is not a part of the UK, but does border Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK. Or are we not considering Ireland to be European, since it is not part of the _continental_ European states? Your question leaves that open to debate. - tex >> Which European country is closest to the UK? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > - tex It is Ireland. Northern Ireland is part of the UK, and the Republic of Ireland is a major player in Europe. Al > >> Which European country is closest to the UK? > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Al Quite true. The question has more relevance in the UK, where people automatically consider Europe as the part across the channel. In fact geographical Europe stretches from Iceland to Ural mountains in the middle of Russia. >> >> Which European country is closest to the UK? >> > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > geographical Europe stretches from Iceland to Ural mountains in the > middle of Russia. Contrary to popular belief, many of us are not Little Englanders and we consider ourselves as European, although it is true the majority are probably not currently pro Europe, at least politically.
