Great. I can't wait to try that Venezuelan Prosecco, that Gambian chorizo, that Mexican bratwurst, that Chilean Camembert, that Falkland Brie, that Peruvian VW Golf, that Indonesian Chianti, that Alaskan ouzo, that Namibian lamb, that Bolivian salami...

No, of course we won't be buying items with noted places of origin from elsewhere. We will instead buy the goods produced by other countries. "Venezuelan Prosecco, Indonesian Chianti, and Alaskan Ouzo" will be replaced by actual products. The EU no longer have a monopoly on good wines (although you buy the "cheap" stuff). America and Australia (and Chile and elsewhere) produce fine wines.
"Ouzo" may only come from Greece, but there are any number of spirits available from other countries. (Maybe you will insist on drinking Spanish Tequila, an equally absurd suggestion)

We will be buying stuff from the EU for decades, brexit regardless. We can't suddenly scrap half of our trade. We don't have deals with other potential trading partners and we are a very small fish. No king, no country, no Biggles, no empire, Nige. You have yet to come to terms. Typical Tory.

"No king, no country"? No, we don't have a 'king' at present, we have a queen. And we are still a country, no matter how much you try to belittle us.
Are you 'British'? if so you obviously have no pride in this, our nation.
