          The EU does not define Europe. Istanbul is in Europe. Moscow is in Europe. The UK is in Europe.

              They’re a series of islands in Europe*, most of them pretty close to the European mainland. I’m from another European island, a bit further out. The next landmass over is North America.

              Ignoring e.g. Falklands for this.

          Food in (some parts of) the UK got dramatically better over the last few decades. When people bash it I always wonder whether they’re working with outdated information. It used to be pretty awful. But recently when I travel from Canada to the UK the food is one thing I look forward to.

            If you compare the diet of a regular blue collar worker in Manchester with the diet of a blue collar worker in Lille, Dortmund or Kraków I can assure you British guy will have the worst diet.
