However given that the US will be trying to sell as much stuff to us as they can shortly I'm expecting the US dollar to weaken against Sterling making Japanese imports even more attractive.
The level of the trade and services balance may well shift over the coming years, but it is a two way street.
But probably the biggest factors to move the currency will be direct investment into the UK, not trade, and how the markets perceive the UK (and all countries) are going to manage the enormous extra debt they have written during the pandemic.

The issue is price. ......
if SRS, or any other UK shop (photography or otherwise) is cheaper I will use them.
Buying things on Ebay or wherever if they are in Europe will get complicated for you too deal or no. As will your holidays in Europe.
I have also holidayed in many countries outside the EU. Visa's are easy to obtain, usually online or dealt with at immigration in the country concerned.
I voted to remain in the EU, but find the doom-mongering about leaving to be silly.

I just had a long email from Amazon UK telling me all the rules for ordering from them, VAT rates, duties payable etc etc, plus returns will no longer be free. I would have to pay for postage and any duties VAT etc due on whatever I returned. Wasn't keen on Amazon anyway but they are a no go shop for me now, and I expect others, including SRS sadly, will follow.
VAT at the moment is not free on a UK-NL import. After Brexit you will not be charged VAT by the seller but will have to pay it on import. So no real change.
