Indeed and the country would be better off by about £50 bn. after we pay to trade with the EU. Is there any other country in the world that charge to trade with them?

Countries are completely different from shoppers on the high street - shoppers on the high street aren't trying to sell things to the shops and other customers, whilst countries are trying to sell/buy from each other, and undercut each other, and trying to get the best deal for their own services/industries.

Not really. You go into a shop to buy something you want.
You trade with a country to do the same.
Just on a bigger scale.
