Can you see Ireland from Britain?
How about France?
Or the Isle of Man?
on a clear day you can just about see calais from dover
>>60062397
It is possible to see the UK from France when the weather is good.

>>60062753
I guess those big white cliffs make it easier.
>>60062753
Fascinating, desu
>>60062844
That's why it's called Albion
Well, I found the spot in scotland from which you can see Northern Ireland:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mull_of_Kintyre
Looking for the Isle of Man spot now.
on a clear day you can faintly see the isle of man from the north of anglesey island , north wales . definitely can't see ireland from holyhead (main welsh port)
>>60063576

Noice
It's possible to see Corsica from Liguria in some occasions
Can you see Ireland from Scotland?
>>60063696
Ah, but all I care about is if you can see XYZ from britain. And you invoked wales after all, so we might as well go to Scotland too.
>>60063696
Thx, so surely there is a better viewing spot in Scotland, around the Isle of Whithorn.
>>60062753
The opposite might be possible too since we also have huge cliffs in this area
>>60063964
Yes. Go to the above wiki link for clear pictures.
>>60063899
You can see it from Nice too apparently, thanks to the mountains
>>60064107
Yeah I saw this too late >>60063781
>>60064056
both are our clay anyway
>>60064154
At least it's richer than Sardinia nowadays
Sweden in foreground, Denmark in background.
Get on our level
>>60064236
not by a large margin, and it's way more violent + corsican mafia
>>60063696
>can't see ireland from holyhead
We can see Wales though on a clear day.
From places in Dublin and Wexford afaik.
>>60063983
Are you planning on visiting or something?
You can see Africa from Brazil on a clear day
I can't see Estonia from Helsinki, but I can see Estonians in Helsinki.
>>60064400
Is that the jurassic coast?
>>60064400
Wew that really looks like our northern coast
>>60064345
I thought there was mafia in Sardinia too
It's half as densily populated anyway, you won't see much violence if you leave the coast and head to the mountains
>>60062397
yes. that also means flat earth proven.
Bokstavligen alla i det här rummet förtjänar att mördas
...aaand from the isle of whithorn, you can make out the isle of man. just have to search related terms and actually read.
>>60063576
Isle of Whithorn you can see Man and NI on a very clear day.
>>60064556
>I thought there was mafia in Sardinia too
there never was mafia in sardinia, I like Corsica more because the mountains and generally the landscapes remind me of Liguria
>>60064549
nah, the question just popped into my head.
We're not used to seeing other countries from our coast, although another state might be across a river.
believe theres a point somewhere in the northeast where you can see Scotland in the distance if conditions permit
>>60064611
>that also means flat earth proven.
Mudslim spotted
>>60064750
>if conditions permit
so never amirite hahaha
>>60064689
At least I agree it would geographically make more sense to have an Italian Corsica (but you have mountains running all along your country to compensate )
>>60064831
Kek
I had great weather when I visited Ireland EXCEPT the wind, it was fucking strong
>>60064400
>They're big cliffs
>>60064857
the only thing is that seeing french corsica on a map tingles my autism, we should have them both independent or at least swap them
>>60065010
Nice try you fucking inbred islander ass rapist
>>60065010
>Brecqhou
That sounds French, gib
>>60064996
Yeah I wouldn't object to an independant Corsica, suddenly giving it to Italia after all these years wouldn't make much sense despite the historical ties (nice towers you left)
>>60065010
>You will never be a billionaire and convince the channel Islanders to give you Tenancy of one of those goofy little islands
>You will never be a bad neighbor and just blow in and out on your helicopter all the time
>>60065296
This one's nice too but you won't have much room to run in the morning
>>60065317
>It's Old Norse as far as I'm aware
Well it's just that "cq" and "ou" is pretty common in Brittany names (of places)
You can see Nebraska from Kansas
>>60065010

>>60062753
that seems far too close
>>60065551
Didn't the Normans conquer Brittany? At some point?
You can see France quite easily most days.
>>60065605
Buy this one if your budget is limited :^)
>>60065698
for comfort?
You can see the Wirral from Liverpool
>>60065725
Not really conquered but they were a threat for a long time and Brittany ended up a dependancy of the Normans then Plantagenet for some time
>>60065713
I honestly don't know, I'm not from there and only know the basics of their history
>>60065798
i unironically would desu, if there wouldn't be all the land around from which people would spy on me
>>60065676
I confess I might have mentionned running waiting for this joke
>>60065296
>be a billionaire
>can only afford to rent
lmaooo
>>60066033
If I had the choice I'd take one of our Med islands tho, I prefer warmer climates
>>60066289
There were many invasions on both sides for hundreds of years
>>60063991

>>60066289
There were attempts, that failed or were abandonned for different reasons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_French_invasion_of_Britain_(1744)?oldformat=true
>>60066289
Napoleon pussied out at the last second. Shame, we could've been liberated a century earlier.
>>60062397
Yeah, I was in Northern Ireland and could see Scotland.
Can Ireland be seen from space?
>>60066494
I honestly don't love much the northermost part of the country but the coast is comfy as fuck tb.h
>>60066431
warmer climates are for faggots té bé há
>>60066289
>Why didn't France just invade Britain at some point?
>>60066607

I met nice people, very friendly. and i must say, that i don't speak french still the poeple there vere friendly to an english speaking me ^^ one grandpa picked me up with his 60 y old citroen and we communicated with gests. very nice people there. so sad, that the war in Syria had an influence on this place....

>>60066736

>Why didn't France just invade Britain at some point?
>>60066878
btw in the night it rained and i had to sleep under the nazi bunker :D in the morning a gun shot made me wake... i saw some dudes with rifles. FCk i was so scared. :)
>>60066789
I think France had the same ''problem'' as china in that they were the biggest and richest power in europe, so the thinking was 'why rock the boat'? if they wanted to expand they might as well go after easier and more prosperous targets like the netherlands.
>>60062397
Yeah, if you go down to Kent, you can see France from along the coast.
I tried to throw a rock hoping that I might hit someone in France but I couldn't throw it far enough.
>>60064899
>I had great weather when I visited Ireland EXCEPT the wind, it was fucking strong
My skin is permanently tanned from the wind even though the sun never shines
>>60066528
Liberated so you could go on being useless
>>60066878
Hitchiking in France is still pretty easy yeah I do it quiet often, it's a good way for foreigners to meet people
>>60067003
>play gb in EUIV

my irish grandma said this too lel, it's surely not true though?
>>60067100
I come from a pretty windy area in France (stuck between our central mountains and the sea it makes a corridor) but the wind is warmer
Top tier country Ireland, 10/10 would visit again
>>60067088
I found a message in a bottle on a beach on the south coast once. I excitedly opened it up to find that the message was "France is shit"
>>60067199

Its the salty sea wind, it turns you red

>Can you see Ireland from Britain?
Yes because they stole the northern half of the country.
>>60067612
More like they stole the southern half from us.
>>60067612
N.I isn't part of Great Britain you dip.
>>60067782

That explains why everyone was always sunburned the day after sports day even though it was rarely sunny.
>>60067075
The real reason is that they had a large land border so required a large army.
They used to have a military policy of forming alliances with countries the other side of their opponent.
That's why they were allied with Scotland.
I go fishing quite a lot in the summer in Wicklow and Wexford, can definitely see the UK easily enough, but nowhere close to as vividly as >>60062753
>>60068605
Probably explains this as well, kek https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Ottoman_alliance?oldformat=true
>>60062397
I heard you can see france on a clear day
never tried it though and im in canterbury as well
>>60062753

>>60068781
And your Austrian and Russian alliances.

Très amusant?
>>60070269
Unintended question mark.
>>60062753
must be quite intimidating for frenchies to see the white cliffs in which the eternal anglo inhabits
