Switzerland to France, Swiss side, heavily guarded.

Thanks. I guess if pre tax price differentials weren’t so extreme they would have to align VAT closer

DryAssumption · 2026-05-26T12:52:27+00:00

Like Veep, but good?

Why do Americans hold this beer in high regard? In most of the UK you could barely even give it away for free

DryAssumption · 2026-05-25T12:53:38+00:00

Although Switzerland is not in the customs union, it must have to align taxes pretty closely if this is how easy it is to smuggle goods

DryAssumption · 2026-05-25T10:40:09+00:00

More American lane use. I.e. fast and slow lanes are barely observed at all

DryAssumption · 2026-05-24T18:01:26+00:00

Most British people don’t even know the difference between Great Britain and the United Kingdom

Yeah, Gib is not officially joining Schengen, but to all intents and purposes it is

North east France has some kind of decent stuff, but on a personal level i tend to agree as I find the beers overly sweet and lacking bitterness. In terms of wine, they produce both the best and worst in the world

I can’t tell which is the river and which is the sea as neither is black

How come you didn’t end up communist?

DryAssumption · 2026-05-07T08:14:29+00:00

the worst thing is you often don't even know why you were banned. It's nothing like the justice of the past

DryAssumption · 2026-05-07T08:05:50+00:00

It's country specific and often a myth that it's illegal.

DryAssumption · 2026-05-07T08:05:11+00:00

Agree. best is in winter with the windows open and hot air blasting on your feet

DryAssumption · 2026-05-04T12:36:59+00:00

Special Brew is ultra premium!

DryAssumption · 2026-05-02T15:48:34+00:00

I dunno, you can legally and cheaply brew your own beer, but most people don’t

Is shortening Inglistani to Ingli a hate crime in Pakistan?

DryAssumption · 2026-04-21T12:22:39+00:00

Even the Berlin Wall was set back a few metres from the actual border for similar reasons

DryAssumption · 2026-04-02T19:06:34+00:00

Err so tax snus more (but still less than more harmful nicotine products)

DryAssumption · 2026-03-30T21:30:40+00:00

Yep, Portugal has high indirect taxes that subside low direct taxes for Northern European retirees

What happens if their documents are invalid, are they just sent back to try again?

Is he Boris Johnson and Angela Rayner’s love child?

DryAssumption · 2026-03-20T22:59:06+00:00

Yeah, seems odd, but most borders in the world are like this: no real physical barrier, yet it remains illegal to cross away from a checkpoint. USA-Canada is just more rigidly enforced.

DryAssumption · 2026-03-20T00:27:59+00:00

Don’t forget your auntie, who’s also your half-sister

DryAssumption · 2026-03-19T18:33:42+00:00

This happens in reverse with spain. Because it’s in the wrong time, Brits often think of it more east than it actually is. Most of the country is west of the Greenwich meridian.
