And they wonder why UKIP membership is increasing faster than its

A good reason to vote for an independent Scotland ...

Would that be the same Scotland who'll have no option but to sign up to
the Euro and Schengen if they wish to rejoin the EU (which the SNP've
sworn they will do)?

Actually, if the EU want to standardise something, book sizes would be
a good place to start. Ever tried to pack a variety of books into a
trunk?

How about phone chargers ?

Phone chargers _have_ been standardised for a few years. Well, all apart
from Apple, who are "special".

In which case they aren't standard. The Nokia 5800 I had in 2009 wasn't
standard.

Problem with standardisation is it can stifle innovation.
They should have come up with a decision back in the 90s. A useful
exercise for an EU-sceptic might be to work out how much carbon emissions
have been wasted by the proliferation of chargers (every new phone with a
new charger plus the obligatory car version) versus how much has been
saved by closing down power stations ....
