He was referring to the nonsense of the statement made by Cameron about Norway. Now the mischief makers have turned that into an allegation that Farage wanted to stay within the single market!
Staying within the Single Market was never an option for Brexiteers because it would involve the free movement of people. It also involves abiding by EU laws and accepting judgements of the ECJ.
Finally, I was not asking you about whether or not Farage was telling the truth. You avoided the question, which was where was your proof that he said that.
Your example(s) (they both contain the same quote) do not prove your point at all.

It was prior to but not after the referendum.
I think the evidence is that we have not been able to secure a Canadian type trade deal. You know this to be true, so why do you perversely act as if you don’t know what I am talking about?
It is unreasonable when trade deals are being offered to other countries but not ours. My friend.

OB the problem isn’t that I don’t know what you are talking about, it’s that YOU don’t know what you are talking about.
On what basis do you profess that we should automatically have had the right to a Canada type deal? None whatsoever.
The whole point of the Canada trade deal is to improve trade with Canada which already has a significant barrier to overcome - the Atlantic Ocean. In no way, shape or form can trade between Canada and the EU be considered comparable to the UK and the EU.
