Power might be interesting too. Atm the UK is connected to the EU power grid through undersea cables. France exports a lot of energy into the UK, about 5% of total demand.

What will happen on that day? Will France and Netherlands cut the connection?

I wonder if it will be livestreamed when the workers in overalls appear with hacksaws and cut the copper.

For purposes of energy generation, I recommend stocking up on car generators (very good source for 12-14V energy) and Car-Inverters to get grid voltage (and maybe reading up on how to weld a handcrank to a car generator)
