The English pray and make votive offerings to the patron saint of luck for this tech swap to happen 
... Spain are now on the List
vs Spain
>Sistine Chapel,

>Printing Press in
3 turns ... I give Banking
I have managed to obtain Printing Press and as agreed I have traded to you ... pending acceptance. ... I have also acquired Banking from another source and will accept another tech or promise of a tech in future for me to offer and accept now.
>Trade Screen = Printing Press ... Accept
But you agreed that I would give Banking to you ... you should not have agreed to it from another ... I guess I will have to give you another tech then ... but I am not amused ... I don't know yet what to research ... please do not change agreements in the future this is no way to spread goodwill between our respective nations ... so as per what I thought our deal was, you will accept my acceptance and I will complete the banking research which is very soon now
> I think that sounds heavy enough
There was no agreement that our exchange was mutually exclusive to prevent other exchanges. Someone made an offer to me and I took it in exchange for another tech and other agreements that improve Spain's position in the game. Sorry if the great Liz is upset however I must ensure the interests of Spain are met first over those of England.
Well I guess we shall put it down to cultural differences ... in my Country a gentleman's word is his bond ... anyhow as mentioned I shall agree to another tech ...
Hmmm ... bite
Queen Elizabeth of England ... Now you insult my honour by implying my word is not good ! That I take as an insult to me and all my countrymen. ... I ask for a retraction.
I present a history of diplomatic exchange
1503
Responding to my e-mail to just make sure deal is going as planned -
<SPAIN>Actually you're going to get it in 10 turns. I'm recieving what again?<END>
<ENG>Printing Press in 10 turns ... wow you speeded up ... you will get Banking in 15ish<END>
1492
<ENG>Just to confirm we will swap techs ... whoever researches first will give it to other ... eg. If I give you Banking first I'll send it to you and you send Printing Press when you have researched it ... Yes ?<END>
<SPAIN>Agreed<END>
1490
<ENG>Catholic? ... Do research swap agreement?<END>
<SPAIN>Sure it would give us an edge ... I can't recall ... soon as I get the turn next we'll talk<END>
<SPAIN>Printing Press in 27 turns ... I was going for magnetism however the need for colonists is more important ... I'm a catholic monarchy ... Until we get to counter reformation in the middle ages we can enter into a researching agreement and perhaps some mutual cooperation when possible ... Do we publicize our researching agreement or keep it a secret ?<END>
<ENG>I don't think that the rest of the world (ie. players) need to know ... I mean we are not at war or anything major like that ... I see this as a discussion over drinks when I visited unannounced to see a bull fight ... agreed?<END>
<SPAIN>Agreed<END>
Your signature is at the bottom of all correspondence ... now before God you did as late as 1503 confirm that I was to get Printing Press for Banking ... you changed that last turn ... I am not happy as the agreement has been broken on your part ... However justifiable my anger is, I choose to cave into your alternative, where you give me as we had agreed the tech, and then I will give you another when I have researched it ...

Notes
>>Check wonder production
* Must ensure automatic tech swap when the others have researched ... if you do not trust then the better researcher can always be rewarded say 1gp per turn until and including the year that the outstanding tech is given
