In Europe flight time is considered much more category and type specific, under FAA regs you can count glider time towards your CPL as it truly allows mix-‘n-match.
As long as it is properly documented in your logbook.
Keep in mind that (powered) flight time in NW Europe is much more expensive as Avgas is much more expensive (upwards of €4/liter)and taxes can be upwards of 40% on ‘luxury’ expenditures such as useless hobbies.
As well as separate take off and landing fees depending on it being the home field where the aircraft is registered to an ‘out’-field for a cross country.
