Well, the narrowest section of the English Channel is the Straits of Dover, where mainland Kent is only 21 miles from mainland France. And don't forget that Kent and France actually share a "border" - albeit in the Channel Tunnel. So Kent ''is'' the closest part of England to mainland Europe. I really don't understand what all the fuss is about. (And geographically speaking, the UK isn't "in" Europe: that's a political statement; it is more correct to say the UK is part "of" Europe. For now.) [[Image:User Fox.png]] [[User:Fox|Fox]] <small>([[User talk:Fox|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Fox|contribs]])</small> 18:13, 16 July 2007 (EDT)
