Been giving some thought to this today, whilst delivering a van full of parcels from all over the globe. I get a delivery of 1/2 dozen sacks at about 8.00am, trucked overnight from a London hub, then sorted by a largely foreign workforce at the Bristol depot.

So if we have a hard brexit, will every single trade agreement need to be in place the next day to allow the seamless import of said goods into Heathrow? Or into Amazon UK hubs?

And if not, what will happen?

Well what they have to consider is, what the payback will be. 10% of all BMW's are sold in the UK . A boycott of BMW even at say, 5% would be a big hit and will likely come at a time when the EU are in a trade war with the USA - 25% of BMW sales. Trade is about give and take. I don't think BMW would risk alienating the UK market. But as I keep (yawn) reminding you, trade has not been discussed yet.

But the article was about BMW moving production of the Mini from Oxford. Like you say, because trade has not yet been discussed. BMW wont stop selling cars to the UK. They might stop making them here. Dont you get that?

Quite an illustrative response to be honest. Firstly you said BMW would be chewing Merkel's ear off due to the importance of the UK to their strategy, then when BMW say that their manufacturing presence would be jeopardised, you suggest the BMW management are clueless.
