No doubt the horrible strawberries will still arrive as will most things we import now when a deal is stuck . I don't eat them anyway .
When I drink wine it comes from Australia and New Zealand rather then what I consider to be the overpriced inferior wine from the EU .
I understand when we leave the EU wine from 'the new world' will cost less so yippee to that

however as I said in my post above when we leave the EU wine from Australia /New Zealand should cost less. This is because we are expected to have a free trade agreement with them and that will increase the large quantities of wine we already buy from them .Ending EU import duty on wine could slash between 10p to 15p off the cost of a litre of wine, according to government body Wine Australia.
Asked on BBC radio whether consumers could benefit from cheaper Australian wine, Mr Ciobo said: “Look, absolutely. Cheap Australian wine I think is a good fringe benefit of a FTA (free trade agreement) if we are able to put one in place.”

Re: What will we miss from Europe ?
Here is proof positive of the level of conversation in here.The question is what will you (not) miss and all you can think of is food and drink and popular music.
The price of a FTA with Australia is more immigrants from there. That has been made clear.
How about the billions you get in grants to improve the infrastructure of the UK?
The billions you get to support the farming industry that gives you the food you are so obsessed with?
The billions you get in funding for scientific research and development?
A seat at the table that develops huge profit making airliners.
The knowledge that your meat is not full of hormones and your veg is not full of GM chemicals and your chickens are not bathed in chlorine? That they most likely will come from huge indoor buildings and never see daylight?
How about cheap food in supermarkets? Or cheap travel to Europe?
Or the universities will be hard pressed to recruit the best minds and best students?
Bollocks to strawberries...you eat your own in season. If you don't like them out of season don't buy them.
Will you miss control over your NHS if you do a trade deal with the US? Do you really want to do a deal that is always going to be to their benefit? Because it will be.
This thread should be called Little England.
