Because they are too nationalistic

True...

Most countries have gone to kilometers UK still have miles.

Where the metric weight is almost everywhere kilogram UK have the pound,

Again meters are simple - they have to have measure in feet.

Thank god I do not live there anymore.

I have to say that since joining the EU and adopting the €uro I can't see a single way that Cyprus has benefited.

What have we got, some roads and bridges? In return everything else is more expensive plus the EU slaps us with fines for air quality and forces us to adopt ridiculous legislation...

Joining the EU has many positive sides.

I fully understand that prices have shot up, I am sure that would be the case anyway.

I also believe that the Cyprus pound would have dropped quiet a bit during the recent crisis. Do you know it is one only currency in the world that has survived the less years?

Tax on many items has dropped including vehicles and other items (from EU countries)

Just take it with a pinch of salt, try seeing the glass half full than half empty... thats what I try to do.

Since I have been here VAT has increased from 10% to 15%. Dictated by the EU.

Diesel has increased from CY£0.13 to €1.06 - 80% of it tax. Dictated by the EU.

Everything is more expensive because of joining the EU and only in a limited number of cases (cars as you rightly say) have tax harmonisation benefited the consumer.

Most of the laws that do or will affect us are created by unelected Eurocrats.

The EU wastes billions of our taxes - they haven't managed to get their accounts approved for years.

They move the HQ every month FFS!

Cyprus joining the EU has been the greatest achievement in it's entire history
not only is Cyprus now a part of the most succesful ever union of nations but it also has
the protection of a soon to be the most powerful army in Europe
the heavy smoker who does not not see the benefits of membership but
can see the benefits of....smoking does not know his arse from his face !!!
