We pay, but have no say: that’s the reality of Norway’s relationship with the EU

Yup, if you're going to drink buy it from the government stores and do it at home.

They didn't say that in the brochures...

...BTW everything in those countries plus Norway and Switzerland is damn expensive.

At least for Switzerland, the average salaries are considerably higher and tax is lower, so we don't notice it's expensive. The UK is so cheap!

Yet still they don't want to join the EU.

The last vote was very close - within 1 or 2%. It was after that the Swiss Federal government started bilateral treaties.

If the UK tried the Swiss model, then that'd mean implementing Schengen!

Oddly it's the remain camp who keep pointing out what other Nations do, Exiters have always said we have no ******* idea what is going to happen.

Kinda my point, neither side can say hand on heart what going to happen either way. My guess is that once the franco-braverian syndicate gets the cart blanch we'll all be walking funny for the next 50-100 years.
