Exactly.

We will have the ability to trade, but whether or not other nations are reciprocal to it I have no idea.
You have no idea? trade is very simple, someone has something sell, someone has money to buy. As ass the sellers terms and the buyers terms are met they will trade. I believe it has been going on for many thousands of years now.

You have to keep remembering, nobody is going to be forced to trade with us, if they chose to, that is on them. If they don't, that is their call too, ultimately.
Not sure what that point is?

I am one of the few remainers that is looking forward to the consequences of leaving. The nationalists / small leave folks will be a brilliant guinea pig in the experiment ; if things don't work out, it will hurt them. They will be the poor that are hurt. I will be just fine, either way. Corporations will be fine. They will just leave the UK. The rich will be fine, they will just live like normal. It is the poor leave folks that will suffer.

I know this sounds horrible but when this all goes tits up do you think that it will be the likes of me / Daily Mail columnists / JRM and co that suffer?

We will all be fine ; it is the poor who voted to remain that I feel dreadful for.
And the evidence for this is, please see your first statement, you don't know - until it happens.
