Do you know what the world will be like the day after Brexit? I don't, but I will do some speculation.............the same as it is now.

Lorries, goods and people will continue to come through the Chunnel and via ferry. Planes will continue to fly, people will still go to Spain for their holiday. There will be changes to the way things work but it will be gradual and worked out.

There will be no "Cliff Edge". The world simply doesn't and can't work that way.
This is what I think will happen but because no deal would be averted and there will be a bodge. I.E If goods flow freely the day after Brexit it's either because we're in a customs union of some sort or we're nodding them though without customs checks. I reckon for former as part of a 'transition period' as the Government won't want the drawbacks of just allowing things to come though without checks or tariffs.

The thing with all the things you've mentioned is that they require some sort of agreement which currently is managed via the EU. So something needs to be done or we're going for the fudge option.

I am reasonably that next year we will, for practical purposes, be kinda in the EU even with some official recognition that we're not.
