I've always thought of 'continental Europe' as meaning 'mainland Europe'. In other words excluding the disconnected parts like the UK. Regardless, the UK is in Europe.

It was in the EU when ARM started as well, fwiw.

The EU was established in 1993. Arm was founded in 1990.

For that matter the UK is composed of islands and parts thereof and nothing in "continental Europe", a term which refers to just the contiguous landmass. (Gibraltar is owned by the UK, but not part of it.)

Luckily Europe is not defined by the EU or sea levels, and the UK is very much in Europe the continent.
