Many here will know the excellent skywatching software "Stellarium",
which just had an update today.
For some reason, every time it updates, I have to set the default
location again. No big deal, but a curious change has been made.
Previously when I typed Liverpool it would offer a choice between
Liverpool UK or Liverpool Australia, but in today's version the nearer
one is now Liverpool Northern Europe.
Are we in Europe again, or does it it just mean brexit wasn't written
in the stars?

We have never been and are not out of Europe - which is the name of a land mass.
We ARE out of the European Union which is a very different matter.

Well said. I feel part of Europe, both geographically and
culturally. I have no real problem with any of our neighbouring
countries. It's only the malign influence of the EU ("greater
*political* and *legal* union") that I object to.

That's "continental Europe" or "The Continent". If we hadn't been in
Europe we wouldn't have been allowed to join the EEC (though it was
discussed whether Turkey could join - which is clearly in Asia - and, historically, *was* Asia).
