GMT offsets for ZonedDateTimes have their sign flipped
See original GitHub issueTemporal.Now.zonedDateTimeISO("Etc/GMT+2");
Saves as:
“Temporal.ZonedDateTime <2021-09-10T17:33:37.680174947+02:00[Etc/GMT-2]>”
So if we use zonedTimeISO.toLocaleString("en-gb") we get:
10/09/2021, 17:33:37 GMT+2
rather than: 10/09/2021, 13:33:37 GMT-2
This only seems to be an issue with “Etc/GMT±<offset>” so functions as expected for timezones such as “London/Europe”

No problem, I think it’s a rite of passage to get confused by those zones at some point.
That’s brilliant, thank you for taking the time to explain even though the implementation was correct, and I just lacked the knowledge! Definitely the opposite of what I expected.
