    Second would be the Nordic region.
    Third would be Germany, but only Berlin, Cologne or other big city - provincial Germany is deadly dull.
    And Lastly France, but there you would have to speak French and Im too old to learn
    Anywhere abroad will be great, getting a few Turkish Liras by begging will provide years of luxury life for your family in Britain.

    You've heard it on here first.

    a) Stop selling food to us and enjoy a loss of profits?

    d) cut prices because we can get our food cheaper elsewhere

    given fall in currency value it will increase food price. Which will hit inflation and your mortgage repayments. and immigration will be slown so not only you will starve, you won't have anyone to rent to, but you will go default and live under the bridge. Mortgage loses will ruin banks and people will lose their savings. That will lead to catastrophic consequences and russian invasion.

    Or just WFH, then you can choose anywhere on the planet with decent connectivity and taxes. I seem to have chosen the UK for now
