Ah , man ! S ' all good . What was the retail price ? <| sep |> If there are variations on access , it sounds like they will be industry specific . I ' ve no doubt simple trade on most physical goods will not prove to be a problem . Financial services may get a pass due to pressure from multinationals and the current setup of London as the main finance hub being too important to crush in one blow but we ' d see bits of it leave the UK ifwhen the EU deregulates or lowers tax . we might see some special arrangements for cars , fishing , farming , steel those things that are politically sensitive . I can ' t see the current government creating a special economic zone with access to the EU . For one thing the EU and most members won ' t want it . Spain and France would see it as a fop to regional independence movements . Malta and Cyprus would see it as muscling in on their current unique states as microstates . Of course it ' s stupid for the UK to knock over the termite mound it ' s managed to build for itself we have all kinds of sneaky benefits for our offshore territories and industries , our rebate , our opt ins and opt outs , all carefully negotiated over decades . Pulling out is madness .
