Exactly. Far too much credence is being given to access to the "single market", mostly by sour grapes remainers. I'm sure we can come to an equable arrangement with the EU that involves minimum tariffs, if any.
Remember that although the EU trade is around 45% of our exports, it is less than 7% of our economy, even if that fell substantially it would not be disasterous as we'll be making up with increased trade elsewhere. Just look at the non-EU countries queueing up to do bi-lateral trade deals with us.
