British goods are noted for their quality. They have very high standards in manufacturing and also in farming and produce. There will always be a demand for British goods and don't forget, they are the 5th largest economy so no, the world will not cave in. In fact, it may even improve as they can forge deals with the US, Australia, Canada, NZ, Australia, China, India and Japan.
Can you name me a few British goods other than foodstuff you have in your possession?
I looked around in my house and found none....
EU tariffs for foodstuff are high, especially for dairy products may reach 35%.
As for your argument that the UK is the 5th largest economy, so what? India is 6th, Italy is 8th, Brazil is 9th. 2 of them full of poverty and Italy at the verge of collapsing.
Large GDP's may give bragging rights, but for me a large GDP per capita is what counts.
