The horror!

Norway and Sweden

Those road markings are so worn that you mightn't even realise you've entered another country. In fact one of those countries isn't even part of the E.U. What a petrifying thought!!!

Sweden and Denmark

A raised marker? Someone could trip over that and seriously hurt themselves.

Belgium and Luxembourg

Another trip hazard! Bet some eurocrat is charging us handsomely for all the risk assessments they need to do on these mini border markers.

Switzerland and France

The scariest one yet. Invisible, like a spooky ghost.

Boo!

The U.K. and Ireland
