Most of our lamb goes into Europe.JCB are unique,and sell more worldwide,they always have done.

So what is stopping other British exporters from doing the same as JCB?
No, just buy it from new zealand,

Technically nothing,but i cant think of any like JCB with the history,brand,and already selling worldwide.Can you think of any?
Ok so who will supply the markets that New Zealand currently sell into, if they divert lamb to the EU?
Haven't really thought about it but it shows that it can be done.
the uk but with the trade tariff at 40% so i am told
So either they will buy our lamb with a 40% tariff because NZ have let them down with their supply and are desperate to get it, or we will do a trade deal with them and supply them without a tariff?
The point I'm trying to make is that there is only so much stuff made/ grown in the world, which at the moment has markets presumably. A foreign supplier (NZ in this lamb example) may decide to put more lamb (or some other product) into the EU market dislodging UK product, but surely that means they have to pull out of an existing market in order to supply the EU. Can the UK then not start supplying these markets? Sorry if I'm being a bit simplistic- happy to be enlightened.

Personally I don’t like referendums. Was it Churchill that said don’t let the people decide on important issues?You don’t think there is a risk that referendums may be divisive?

Agreed, he was the right man for the period of the war, but thereafter the world moved on and his form of diplomacy was not in tune with where the country was then. my point was, referenda are not simple unless the facts are laid bare for the electorate too judge. The next 6 months will be interesting indeed. My own view is that the EU are worried that UK will do rather well outside the club and others will want to go the same way.

Well, that has certainly been proved correct in 2016. A case of it's far to difficult for the politicians to work out so let the public have a go. Just for good measure let each of them make up their own agenda as to what they think they are voting on.

Just as all the remainians voted not to leave.

There's nothing from Europe I want or need.
Especially the expense of another layer of beurocrats.
