Just as we do when we export stuff to, say, the US - we have to follow US norms. But not for stuff we *don't* export, geddit? Right. So we can go back to fitting red green and black flex to appliances Why would we deliberately be different for no good reason? Thats why no one votes Labia anyway. Different for no good reaosn. sold only in the UK. That's really a killer reason to leave the EU. Perhaps we can go back to 405 lime TV too? That would be a Lemon, Dave. Really makes sense. Instead of one product that conforms across a large market, we now make several varieties for much smaller ones. Sometimes Dave I think you are as dim as Dense!

If the EU slaps a tariff on say Jaguar after we've left, do you really think the UK won't on BMW? (Just an example for those who can't think for themselves) car manufacturing is so intertwined these days that it would be very difficult to put a tariff on anything to do with car manufacture, now sheep, that's different. |
