- seszett 7y agoThe article doesn't talk about end-user cabling within a house or building, but about the design of the whole grid, which is similar in the UK and on mainland Europe as far as I know.
- sametmax 7y agoMaybe the article is trying to stay relevant in a few months :)

- cameronbrown 7y agoLast time I checked UK will still on the European continent for the foreseeable future ;)
- mcv 7y agoIt's always been just off the continent. I think they'd sail away if they hadn't been tethered to us by that tunnel.
- swebs 7y agoJapan is also an island, but you don't see anyone trying to make the claim that it's not part of Asia. I wish people would stop conflating Europe and the EU.
- mcv 7y agoFrom the UK, "the continent" refers very specifically to continental Europe, which means Europe without the British islands. While Japan is an island, I would not consider it part of continental Asia, although that might be less of a common concept than continental Europe.

- stronglikedan 7y ago> When you say "European", please also say "excepted UK" Hasn't that always been implied? IIRC, just about every story I've heard that includes both has always used some variant of "Europe and the UK" to indicate that.
