I particularly enjoy the similar disagreement on the meaning of "Europe." The British are always saying, "over in Europe..." The Swedes always are, "down there in Europe..." Just about the only countries that don't pass on the moniker of Europe are Germany and France--it would be a little difficult for them to construe themselves as being outside of Europe, while at least the Swedes and the Brits do it all the time; conversely it's a little amusing to see the Turks and even the Israelis vying for EU membership.
