Angela Merkel said Germany will continue to trade with the UK but there was no mention of on what terms.
Even it would be possible it would take a long time to negotiate all the deals and we have to wonder what the consequences would be in the meantime.
A lot of people use Amazon which is based in Luxembourg. I wonder what the impact of Brexit will be. Will Amazon stop trading with the UK or will it be business as usual with possible variations in price?
A lot of our reservations are based on the uncertainty and we need some concrete facts and decisions to decide our own course of action. Until those facts and decisions emerge, the uncertainty will continue and we will just have to watch and wait.

As they are on line traders I doubt they would cease to trade with one of their biggest markets. I use Wish which is an on line trader in China but though it takes a bit of time to get goods, they are quite good. He he I trade with China so why not the country? No I think Amazon will be ok.

How does America,Australia,China India etc ,etc manage ,they all trade with the EU countries but do not have freedom of movement .We do not need free trade ,it would be better of course but not at any expense

Nor me, I don't think we need it really.

Indeed. As I've said it wouldn't be in their interests to slap tariffs on us nor us on them. I think a deal can be reached with individual countries in the EU without freedom of movement and the single market. It just needs planning as I can't see Germany ceasing to trade with us no matter what the deal is.
