"Buying a round of drinks in the pub is an analogy that hits home for the British. And the European Union knows it.
That’s how the EU Commission chose to explain why Prime Minister Theresa May must settle the U.K.’s budget commitments in full, estimated at 60 billion euros (US$64 billion), when it leaves the bloc’s remaining 27 countries in an estimated two years’ time.
“It is like going to the pub with 27 friends: You order a round of beer, but then you cannot leave while the party continues; you still need to pay for the round you ordered,” Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas told reporters in Brussels on Tuesday."
A round at the pub ......doesn't everyone normally buy a round ? So the idiots at the EU think it's like that in the EU ? Err maybe six are buying a round the rest are freeloaders and don't buy a round .........no wonder brexit WON THE DAY !
