    In Dutch we have this saying that if you don’t want to listen, you have to feel. Not sure if that’s also a thing in English but EU is definitely not gonna be ok with this.

      In germany we have the same saying, “Wer nicht hören will muss fühlen”.

      It’s so much fun to discover that so many languages share so many phrases everwhere

        Yeah it comes down to the same end result, what I like about ‘our’ saying in this case is that it implies you’ve been warned and should by now know better.
