(You see I've had kangaroo burger - not nice, it wasn't. No amount of sauce helped.)
But I didn't interrupt to say that.
Some posts ago an anti-Brexit dissenter here was trying to suggest that the UK/Japan trade deal would never be ratified.
Fortunately that poster looks to be yet again incorrect in their assertion;
this is from just this morning.
"Japan and Britain hope to formally sign an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) on Friday, two sources have told Reuters."

Again, learn to read. Ratification is by japanese parliament. You're confusing it with signing.
Remember boris signed the WA in december 2019? You had to wait for ratification by HoC till 22 january 2020.

Learn some manners please.
I did not say that the signing was ratification.
Show me where I said that the link mentions ratification?
I'm showing that it is one step closer.

You stated that I was wrong on japanese parliament not ratifying. To underpin it you quote a line about signing. I pointed out the difference, which proves me right (for now) on still no ratification.

I provided proof that it is heading in the right direction to be ratified.
Nothing more.
If you wish to deliberately misinterpret what is said that is your problem and yours alone.
What I have written is there for all to see - and I did not say that my ling was a deal being ratified.

Maybe you've been in the Netherlands too long to have kept up a fine grasp of English?
So to help you out, the former is a possibility and the latter a definite occurrence.
You're welcome.

But my grasp of english is enough to understand you are one of those unable to admit being in the wrong.

I am more than happy to accept that I am wrong when indeed I am wrong - none of us, myself included, is infallible.
But so far you have not proven me wrong once, whereas I keep proving you wrong.
ETA:
The closest I have been to Surinam would be the Dom Rep, then Mexico.
Do you ever visit?
Surinam - not DomRep or Mexico.

Now my son is at secondary school I'm enjoying helping him with his Spanish studies and I had a great time in hospital surprising two Spanish nurses!
I once had a great time at a friend's wedding in Germany (a REME bod ) sitting at a huge table interpreting between English, French, German and Italian for the relatives of both him and his German bride.
What was unusual is that I don't really speak Italian, but it seems that Latin still has so many similarities so it somehow worked.
