Just like the Uk-only equivalent for the CE mark we are not longer going to have.

But then of course we still have all that old kit around that isn't to the new standard (hence the xkcd).

Yes, the arrogance of those who think the UK market is important enough to drive versioning are going to be disappointed.

I always think we've been led astray by the willingness of motor manufacturers to put the driver wheel on our side.... forgetting that as Japan shared the standard, for them it was easy their expanding market share.

Like you say, I think those who expect the UK market as such to escape the EU's gravity are fooling themselves.
