I have heard on the radio more than once that legally we could remain
inside the EFTA but still leave the EU since the former was a seperate
agreement.


EFTA is Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. Down in the noise
level.


Membership of EFTA requires remaining in the SM with FoM with Liechtenstein,
(presumably due to it insignificant size) having an exemption


And most informed opinion says Norway would veto us joining.


Why?

It doesn't do anything as "a block" that our size would dominate
