What has the EU ever done for us?

SWMBO and I are just back from a wonderful week in Budapest. And you thought I didn’t get much?

It is a great city, full of history, great restaurants and MARVELLOUS coffee shops.

And, in common with many great European cities, getting round is stress free.

In particular because Hungary offers all EU citizens over the age of 65 FREE public transport.

My friend OB and I had both reached that milestone earlier this year so had five full days of free mooching about on buses, trams, metro and even the water bus that runs up and down the Danube.

SWMBO joined us on the free transport ticket a couple of days into the holiday so only Mrs OB had to pay whilst we were in that city.

So, what has the EU ever done for us? Apart from this example plus the EHIC medical card, decent compensation for flight delays, mobile roaming (where your home deal applies in any EU state) etc.

Answers on a postcard, please.
