UK's position: East of Ireland (sorry about Northern Ireland, I hope we give it back someday.) North of France South-south-east of Iceland Ireland: Europe France: Europe Iceland: Europe We can't really say we 'aren't a part of Europe' when all these countries are part of Europe, and together they pretty much surround us.
