UK based private train operators received £3.8bn in gov subsidies last year, wonder how much of that went straight into the pockets of shareholders.

Finland is not part of Eastern Europe

I mean, you're technically correct, but these categories are quite porous in my book. And geographically, it's mostly East of Kaliningrad, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, etc.

Sure, but so is Greece. It's Northern Europe / Scandinavia, and it was a part of Sweden for far longer than it was a part of Russia. I mean, I'd ask my Finnish friend if she feels more connected to Sweden or Russia, but it would feel kinda silly, since we speak Swedish with each other.,,

Before long, it shall again become a part of Sweden, god willing. The days of Finnish sovereignty are numbered, of this I promise you.

Greece is also arguably part of Eastern Europe. See: Byzantium, Orthodox Christianity, etc.
Finland is undoubtedly not Eastern European if we go by the usual taxonomy. But these things are hardly set in stone (see also: is Mexico part of North or Central America? is the Czech Republic Central or Eastern European? etc.).

On a completely unrelated note, the z isn't silent. It would have made for a solid pun otherwise.
