Until then, there is a massive silver lining: - weak £ -> good for British businesses that compete globally. And is bad for EU businesses that export to the U.K.
-
The pound crashed through the floor the day after the referendum. Effect on exports over two years? Absolutely no increase, no massive silver lining just more expensive imported food for decent, hard working families. Think again gammon

Your opinion as to whether it is good or bad depends on your requirements.

I know your opinion is based on import/export trade, which is valid. I was just pointing out, it is easy to put up a section of captured data from within a certain timeframe to put a negative spin on things.

How do they pasteurise milk? Energy. Comes in part from abroad. How does it get down here. Freight. Needs fuel. Raw materials come from abroad. The effect of a plummeting pound means inflation. Costs go up. Packaging for the milk. Card/plastic comes from abroad.

Erm... We typically export more petrol than we import and pretty sure we manufacture glass milk bottles so not sure what you are on about to be honest

-
Raw components mainly. How much oil/sand do we extract? Glass is fine but that will take time to realign the supply chains into glass over plastic or card. Also forgot to mention the inability to import the necessary antibiotics etc for the farming end of the supply chain.
-
Regardless of this, UK produce is likely to be more expensive than the current supply chain thus driving up consumer prices.
