We can be whatever we choose to be, Trump and May have been holding hands already, we share popular culture with our 'Anglo' friends I say we should remove the tunnel and declare ourselves as British living in the continent of Britannia, don't worry though you are of course still welcome to visit for a holiday anytime.
Thank you for the welcome.
Nothing like walking into a local pub after 3 or 4 years and be greeted with "how you doing mate, haven't seen you for a while?"
Whatever you do, don't change. I do enjoy winding you up.
The English speaking countries could readily form a loose grouping for trade. The grouping would be large in terms of aggregate market, population, and resources.

It won't happen. Trump has said he prefers bilateral trade agreements. Australia and Canada already have free trade agreements with the U.S.
Free trade agreements don't always work out. Take the Australia-U.S. Free Trade Agreement:

The critics were right. Ten years after the Australia–United States free trade agreement (AUSFTA) came into force, new analysis of the data shows that the agreement diverted trade away from the lowest cost sources.

Or more commonly known as the ongoing Eurozone crisis with the likes of Greece unable to service their debt, and the IMF firing out warnings that the EU is on the brink of financial collapse (a good dose of hyperbole no doubt, but there's been too much focus on the Brexit vote and not enough emphasis on the EU getting its own house in order!)

The EU is incapable of getting its house in order. Too many entrenched and competing interests, too many venal bureaucrats, too much resistance to any reform and a system that is not designed for decision making.

Why not just let UK walk and kick Greece out. The former wants special considerations and the latter is a useless and lazy country. The remaining EU members will do fine.
