I know it can be got around (although french petrol stations ability to take cards is woeful). My point is it shouldn't have to be. We were sold europe as being a single trading area so going to calais should be no different to popping to london. We need to see more of the promised benefits.

We aren't the only countries public who despise the EU though are we?

If it was that free then prices would all end up being the same and there wouldn't be any point in going.

It can be more expensive than here in some places in Europe. We still go.

Aye but the only purpose to calais is to buy cheap ale or catch a ferry home. Other than that it's a miserable hole.

governments would still set local taxes and duties and companies would still set prices for their products.

Same way as it works in america and indeed in part between northern and southern england.
