If our currency just lost value, that's good news if you work for a UK exporter... Your products just became massively cheaper.
Good news as a UK exporter only works if the materials that are used to make such product (such as metal, plastic Etc.) originally come from Britain (which I think would be very rare). If the price of the raw materials goes up significantly due to a weak pound then any advantages of a weak pound are removed.
Personally at the moment I feel ashamed to be British, primarily in that we (well not me personally) allowed ourselves to brainwashed by some of the worst people in Britain, in that we would be better of out of the EU, the economy was ruined before we originally joined and now we leave it is looking to be even worse.
When everyone who actually has some intelligence (basically) is telling you to stay you should listen. We all know boris and farage had their own reasons to leave the EU (none of them based on making Britain better) and if only remain could have gotten that point across mabey it would have been a better result.
As for some of the reasons for leaving, I get the fishermen's points but the over fishing would have decimated the industry anyway, of you have no fish to catch you haven't got any to sell, and as for the stupidity regarding vacuum cleaners, the high power consumption ones got banned because they were crap. A decent vacuum cleaner does not need 1200w+ to work. Neither the Henry's or the upright SEBO's we have at work consume anymore than 1000w yet I bet the suction power is still greater than a 1800w home machine.
The EU was a great thing for Britain, it brought stability to Europe, it gave our farmers a future and it protected the environment for future generations. Now it seems Britain will be sold to the highest bidder and we will all be at their mercy. (thank god I went on holiday to France last year!)
