You've hit the nail on the head as to why I don't travel in the EU in the first place, probably among a load of other silly laws waiting to ambush the unwary. If I don't sef foot in a country, then laws that can only possibly apply to those physically present there cannot apply to me.
I'd stay well away from the US too then, especially somewhere like New York!
So you basically don't like to travel in the EU because you might have to behave slightly differently & obey the local laws? I mean I've heard many the Brit complaining about the food abroad, or not being able to flush loo paper away in some countries, but being wary of laws you think are designed to "ambush" you?? I take
@Bletchleyite's "Wow. Just wow" & double it....
In the meantime, and if its all the same to you, some of us rather enjoy travelling, trying out different cultures & climates, and don't mind taking a few moments to respect local laws & customs. After all, isn't that what Brexiteers expect of Johnny Foreigner when they come to the UK? The more I hear these kinds of arguments, the more I'm convinced that just perhaps Brexit is a really daft idea & risks not only sending us back to the 19th Century, but turning even more insular & parochial than ever. Before long it won't be the Europeans Brexiteers will be wary of, but those "foreigners" from Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Yorkshire, the next town over, the next street, next door....
