Previously, trade deals were a bit like the Brexit negotiations, i.e. Slow, tending toward anti-competitive and pretty unproductive, much like EU governance generally.
We've been able to strike a number of very good trade deals with other countries already, which are beneficial for both parties involved. I'd respectfully suggest these are pretty positive steps, hitherto denied to us by the sclerotic club.

We are no longer compelled to pay tax to support Farage. Surely everyone can agree that there are upsides to not having to hand over cash to support Farage, Orban, Mediterranean fraudsters, has-been French criminals I mean politicians, current Romanian criminals, etc etc.
Fascinating. 44 posts and only one suggested benefit.
Three in the four posts prior to yours. Perhaps we'll be able to spend a little more on subsidising eye tests in future.

95% of Europe’s financial transactions go through London. No other EU country has a financial centre anywhere close to London. London is up there with New York, Tokyo and Singapore. Nothing will change.
Hadn't seen yours on not payng Farage. I'll allow that!

Exactly which is much needed boost for London.
So, tastier bananas is the best anyone can come up with?
As for vaccine approval, the UK "beat" the EU on this by how many days?
To flip the OP's question...
We've had decades of anti EU stories, so perhaps now we're free and clear we could achieve a level playing field by agreeing that every time someone on here -pro or anti- finds (or imagines because that seems to have been good enough for antis in the past) their life is now complicated by being outside the EU they will post the details so we can gauge the ongoing success of our national majority decision?
It needn't be little things like losing your job, or your customers, or price rises, it might just be a dim sense that you don't have the same rights and freedoms outside your own county as you once did. Of course, if you never spent any time in the EU, then that's no loss to you, just something you took away from others who did, so not your problem really.
Anyway, I look forward to hearing all the new grumbling. Only fair, after all.
Happy New Future, one and all!

Seems to me that all the 'new grumbling' is folk trying to re run a decision made several years ago, with the same old rejected arguments; you really must learn to move on...
Certainly a Happy New Future!

Talking of insults. In your initial post you refer to Boris and the rest of the "cockwombles". I'm pretty sure "gullible British public" isn't a compliment either.
So are insults acceptable or not?
It's all about compulsion isn't it, something we in this island never really took on board.
I think we should all just start to be nice to each other. In relation to hunting , perhaps people should start to look into things like this European firearms requirements from 1 January 2021
and post their findings on how we can continue to enjoy our great friendships with hunters in EU countries without having to spend lots of money and time getting to our chosen EU hunting destination.
however anyone voted or what they hoped for its irrelevant now. “Together we stand and divided we fall “ and “division is the prelude to being defeated “ and all that, stuff. I think it’s time to start building bridges and stop ripping them down. The hunting world is on its back foot enough already, we should start to put aside our differences and start to work together again.
happy new year when it comes and I genuinely wish all that wanted this form of Brexit all the happiness that it gives them. I mean that, some people are really happy about how Brexit has turned out and I wish them happiness and joy in the new year.
Kindest regards, Olaf

I've got a feeling that the UK will do very well in the future. Brexit can benefit all in the UK. UK can make decisions much quicker,... until Euro has said the word "sausage" the UK will have eaten it. Might however mean everyone needs to put in a bit more work. Europe will also need to pull it's socks up, if the rest see how well UK will be doing they might also want to leave.

Well I’m up in the Highlands and just waiting for the constant Independence talk to be non stop again
, as if Nicola has a magic money pot she’s going to dig out once we’re Independent and be so much better off! 
, as if Nicola has a magic money pot she’s going to dig out once we’re Independent and be so much better off! This is a very good point, and might require a separate thread. Last I checked (about a month ago) *existing* EFPs could be used from 1 Jan 2021, but it looks as though this no longer applies (.gov website was updated on 16 Dec). If anyone knows how this will work in practice I'd be very keen to know.

There are 165 other countries in the world i think a few of them actually do quite well not being attached to the European Union, some of them even trade with them
a decision was made four years ago it will show the calibre of the people who now want to make a success of the futre and not continually whine about what we've lost for those who just can't accept what has happened there are 27 countries that you could go and make a new life i voted to leave not because I don't like the European people I have some very good french friends so much so I have just bought a house in
things may change but the world is not going to stop

One positive thing:- We got rid of unelected officials none of us have ever heard of and none of us ever voted for who effected our lives everyday.
The politicians in London didn't want us to leave so they made this as awkward and complicated as they possibly could, 4 1/2 years and still not out despite what they tell us. Gibraltar not settled, Argentina want the Falklands again.
The remainers refuse to accept the democratic decision of the referendum. Those who believe in democracy accept the vote, just as they presumably would if Labour or Conservative won a general election, but leaving the EU is real change and people are always resistant to change.
Most of the remainers seem to be those who were not old enough or perhaps not yet born when Ted Heath dragged us into the EEC and destroyed the largest fishing port in the world "Grimsby" .
Charles De Gaulle vetoed us twice and we didnt get in until after he died. We are not Europeans in the sense of those countries like Germany and Spain, we are closer aligned to New Zealand and Australia and the USA, we have our own customs and way of doing things which are not in line with German or French thought processes.
Todays EU is not what we signed up to, when we joined the EEC.
By the middle of the 20th century, Grimsby had become the biggest fishing port in the world, providing employment – and a strong sense of identity – to its denizens. In the industry's heyday, the main thoroughfare near the docks, Freeman Street, was buzzing. ... “The fishing industry was like a millionaire's paradise, Ted heath and the Conservatives destroyed it in 1973, so this point about ONLY being 1% of the UK GDP is the fault of the Conservative Party. This deal does not bring back the sovereignty of the UK, it is an opening for a future load of to$$ers to drag us back in to the EU., Bananas not the right shape, Hoovers to powerful, all the crap they throw at countries where the electorate in those countries, are unable to remove these people from their money grabbing positions.
The EU accounts haven't been signed off for 20 years because the accountants cannot give the accounts a clean bill of health, its a corrupt organisation with a great number of politicians having their noses in the trough
The EU is not a democracy its a dictatorship, with an inner sanctum making decision for people with cultures they know nothing about, whilst the MEP's could make suggestions they couldn't alter the decisions those at the very top made.
I know you only asked for one reason, but hey............
