COde is working in console but not on treehouse

I'm using this piece of code to print out every item in the list items which does not start with a

def loopy(items): # Code goes here for i in items: if i[0] != 'a': print i

Although this is working in console but treehouse window is saying Bummer!try again. Any help appreciated.

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for i in items:
      if i[0] != 'a':
        print i

Though the code accomplishes the task, the challenge requires the use of the continue keyword.
It will not pass without it.
