    I’ll also take metric drinks measures (400ml is a reasonable amount of beer for one drink) and replacing Britain’s chunky electrical plugs with the more slender ones on the Continent (especially for unearthed electronic devices, the British plug is overkill).

    If Jacques and Fritz demand that the Brits switch to driving on the right like Napoleon intended, that’s a fair cop, given all that has come before.

      These would all be nice but - Ireland is in the EU and Ireland doesn’t do any of these (even metrification of drinks), and none of these are listed as reservations on the part of Ireland (which were only available to the founding members of the EU, of which Ireland is one).

      So probably not required to join the EU, sadly.
