Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the graph of new cases seems to be leveling out? Some European countries seem to be going back into lockdown, so I'm now getting anxious that we're not going to be back to normal for ages. Will my grand daughter ever see normal life?

I thought you were all Europeans . All in it together. It seems a bit strange that the uk classes itself as non European when you are only a few miles from France. Ah well. I suppose it is similar to us describing Tasmanians as different . Except we don’t and they are a lot further away than the mainland of Europe is to the UK.

I will always be a European.

Of course we're European.

We are part of Europe

That will never change

That is a quite different, nanna8
Tasmania is an island State, part of Australia.

We are not a State of Europe, and unfortunately, not part of the Union any more. The European Union is an organisation encompassing different countries.

Well we are all Europeans geographically, but now we are no longer in the European Union, which is a political organisation, based mainly but not absolutely, around trade between the various countries in the EU.

Weds 31st March M. Macron is due to announce 'something' on French TV/media. Possibly a return to 'confinement' ? Who knows?
