Politically they are part of European states but that's a different thing. We are NOT a part of any European state. We are NOT part of Europe. So the Isle of Wight isn't part of England then? You're an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, geographically the isle of Wight is part of the British archipelago. BTW - Do you know what an archipelago actually is?

An archipelago is a contained group of islands within their own right. Being a part of a continent Europe can't be an archipelago and the very definition of archipelago means it is a group on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The isle of Wight is NOT located within a continent. It is a part of the British archipelago. That is why it is correct to refer to the biggest island within the British archipelago as the mainland and not the adjacent island as some do on the isle of man.

Let's try again, in which one of the seven continents is the UK located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
