I'm not sure how it would work but you could have private deals with the countries we do trade with in the EU surely?

I don't see what the fascination with the single market is ,it just brings with it EU control of our workforce ,working regulations and adds to bureaucracy,something we are fighting against

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.

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
