I'm British. I was referring to the continent of Europe, not the EU.

And you never told anyone you go to "Europe" nor did they?

That's what I was alluding to but thanks for the lecture I suppose.

No. You go to the mainland, or, colloquially, the continent.

Europe != The EU

FYI: The British often say "we go to Europe" when they go to continental Europe.

Also, it's kind of condescending to point out the obvious.

More condescending than the original nitpicking?
