    Seriously? Have you actually looked or checked? Part of the problem is that so many things are taken for granted but were EU originated.

    Paid annual leave
    No roaming charges across EU
    Equal pay
    Time off work
    Maternity pay up to 12 months
    Parental leave
    Healthcare across EU
    Right to live (and work) across EU - taken up by many Brits in France and Spain
    EU wide standards for products
    2 year warranty on goods


    You may not think they're important but things like workers rights are likely to be first in the firing line if we leave.
    what a shame we can not have paid annual leave without being a member of EU:o
    The word "dilemma" comes from Greek where "di" means two and "lemma" means premise. Refers usually to difficult choice between two undesirable options.
    Often people seem to use this word mistakenly where "quandary" would fit better.
