It begins.
Boris Johnson drops target for getting annual net migration below 100,000
The new government has abandoned the target of getting annual net migration below 100,000. This was set as a goal by David Cameron, and maintained by Theresa May, but their governments never came close to meeting it.
After Boris Johnson’s statement to MPs, the prime minister’s spokesman, when asked about the 100,000, target, said Johnson was not interested in a “numbers game”. The spokesman said:

German and Spanish manufacturers will be looking at the percentage of sales they export to the UK compared to other EU or non EU destinations.
Those manufacturers wont be at all interested how much or little the UK exports to their country.
And there is the small matter of services:
2016, services exports to the EU were 7.2% of UK GDP; for the EU 27 services exports to the UK were 1.1% of their GDP
Oh dear we need the EU more than they need us

With the subsidies given to farmers NOT to produce anything (possibly to protect French farmers) removed, they will now be incentivised to start producing something, be it fruit,veg dairy, other crops, meat, which could be sold to the UK, I dare say we could produce a lot of the things you mention, carpets being one thing we do well. Things like carpets used to be a major outlay, but due to cheap poor quality imports they are changed more frequently, a knock on effect of this is overburden on waste removal. We have had things too cheap, cheap nasty processed crap which people stuff down their fat pie holes, resulting in an obesity epidemic, and again causing a burden on not only landfill sites, but on the NHS. As for the consumer, will he (or she, bit sexist of you there JD) be happy to pay more?, no idea, but if it helps them shed a few stone (not kilos) and eat better food, have longer lasting quality goods, reduce landfilland strain on the NHS and impact on the environment, it will be worth it, no pain, no gain.
What is it that has been preventing you from buying an expensive carpet which would last 'for ever'?

Nothing, I did, quality British carpet getting on a bit. People like to change their decor every couple of years, splash of paint, new carpet, old one down the dump for landfill. Bump it up a bit, £1k -£2k for an average room, people wont be changing them so often. Same with electrical goods, lcd telly a decade ago was several grand, now they're a few hundred for a 60" telly, smart phones, makers bring out a new one every 6 months it seems, some people must have it because its the latest, doesn't do much more than their current one, but it is seemed cool if they have the latest. A lot of this ends up in landfill, God knows what nasties are underground waiting to enter the water table. Bang the price up, make it expensive to keep changing, make them wait a few years at least for a new TV or phone, chances are the items will last quite a few years, possibly decades.
How did we cope before the eu ? It's almost all I've known, no idea what stuff cost before.
I do agree but it's hardly the fault of the EU.
Not just bang up the price, but make it in Britain with people being paid properly and then the goods would be economical to repair rather than parts costing more than a whole new machine.
It isn't going to happen though.

The last job I did in the EU was over 10 years ago.
If they want me they have come to me.
Ok. I have a leaky pipe. I will post the leaky bit to you.
hatejob says the British consumer will be happy to see prices going up.

Just got a call. Leaking outside tap. Wanted me tonight. But not prepared to pay my call out. I should have said Bring it to me for half the price...
A very positive (but insincere) post from hatejob extolling the benefits of shortages of food, fuel, cars, clothes, etc.
