You live in island Europe?

I see people pay with cash in the Netherlands, but half the time it's with card or mobile.

It's still a common thing to say in the UK since we used to be island Europe. Speech habits take a while to change.

There are some rather notable European islands, but I see no indication that they claimed to live there.
