You live in island Europe?

I see people pay with cash in the Netherlands, but half the time it's with card or mobile.

It's still a common thing to say in the UK since we used to be island Europe. Speech habits take a while to change.

Hahaha

Also in Ireland, where we still are Island Europe.

The UK is still part of "Europe" the geographical region even if it's no longer part of the EU

There are some rather notable European islands, but I see no indication that they claimed to live there.

(It's a joke)

(Ok, but was it a good one?)
