When i was a child, i believed autopilot really worked like in the movie Airplane, that it was an inflatable dummy.
Common reference maps all include The British Isles in with Europe, as well as Iceland.
The wikipedia page on Europe also includes them as part of the continent.
First of all, Europe isn’t even a continent. “Europe” is a politico-cultural concept, not a geological or biogeographic one.
Okay, then the “politico-cultural concept” and common usage of the name “Europe” is of it being one of the major continents, regardless of if it’s on its own tectonic plate or not. It clearly includes the British Isles.
That is an outdated and frankly Western chauvinist usage. Europe and Asia are both on the Eurasian continent.
You can’t move those goalposts like that.
