Doesn't the coastline get more and more complicated as you place it
under a microscope? So in fact there is nothing doing with the
continuous coastline.

England doesn't. Consider, for example, the Isle of Wight.

Or Wales or Scotland they tend to break up the continuity of England's
coastline.

I fear I have been less than rigorous in my comments on this.  In my
comment above, I interpreted "continuous" as "connected", and
considered various islands as part of Britain.  In my reply to Mike
Corley, I interpreted "continuous" as something like "a continuous
function from <something> to R^2".

Britain is an island, the British Isles are, erm, the British isles, 
Britain and various bits of land surrounded by the sea.

An interesting theory.  Clearly Ireland is part of the British Isles,
but not part of Britain.  The same probably goes for the Channel
Islands, the Scillies, and the Isle of Man.  But do you seriously
assert that, for example, Inchcolm island is not part of Britain?
What about Cramond Island?  Does it cease to be part of Britain when
the tide comes in?

Depends on the depth of sewage slopping around the causeway.

There are many such - Holy Island (Northumbria), Northey (Blackwater
estuary, Essex), Sully (off Swanbridge in South Wales), Burgh Island (off
Bigbury-on-Sea, Devon). The islands of St. Agnes and Gugh in the Scillies
are joined at low tide, separate at high tide.

In all these cases the coastline(s) is/are continuously part of the UK.

The big island is Great Britain (as opposed to "Less Britain", as it was
once known, aka Brittany).

The Channel Islands are not part of the British Isles (which is a purely
geographic entity).

That is correct.

None of the islands are part of Britain but they are all part of the
British Isles except, I believe, the Channel Islands. Not sure what 
they're aprt of, aprtfrom Europe of course.
