Your xenophobia would go into meltdown if you ventured to an Autobahn stop in Germany and saw the vast number of multi-national registered HGV's transiting through to other European countries.

Where do you plan to buy parts from to keep your Euro build van on the road? The US can't supply as they don't have Transits and any new parts required will come from Germany.....whether you like it or not. You should get rid of your van if you feel that strongly about 'buying from EU countries'. (lol)(lol) We already import many other items from around the world such as foods, wines, clothing etc....some comes via air freight and the rest by road but one thing for certain, i will NOT buy chlorinated chicken meat which hopefully UK will see sense and ensure it stays banned.

"Summary of a fall in the exchange rate Tends to increase the rate of economic growth and reduce unemployment. Tends to benefit exporters, but makes imports more expensive. Benefits the domestic tourist industry. It is more expensive to travel abroad and foreigners will find the UK more attractive. Consumers likely to see higher prices – at least for imported goods. Tends to cause inflation. This is because: imports more expensive higher domestic demand firms have less incentive to cut costs Tends to improve the current account deficit" https://www.economicshelp.org/blog/437/trade/effects-of-falling-exchange-rates/ Our downside is a 3 course meal with a bottle of wine in Spain will now cost 28 quid 8-) ........
