The Sick Moon Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 A niche market the island could investigate further you would think. I wouldn't think that. We've missed the boat and besides, our government will only ever follow the relevant policy of the mainland like we do on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sick Moon Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 But what is this? Your keyboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Ah. I see. No I don't consider the keyboard the mainland as I don't live on it, contrary to how it sometimes seems. However, on the Island I live, work, love, laugh, cry and will ultimately die so to me, this is the mainland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you hear people generally refer to the mainland you actually assume they are referring to the island? Fair enough if so, but I was referring to the largest land mass governed by Westminster as I expect most people would have realised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wright Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 so does that Make France, or Europe, the Mainland to The British Isles or their constituent political parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Well that went off topic in typical MF style... When I hear the term "mainland" over here I think of that large Island comprising of Scotland, England and Wales - that being the largest landmass of the British Isles. It also amuses me when people jump up and down getting all agitated at hearing the term "mainland" then go on about how "England" isn't "the mainland" as if someone's making a political statement out of an innocent geographical description. And yes John. I suppose it does - you hear the term "Mainland Europe" fairly frequently, although not really in every day language - more for new reports.
