Salty Sam Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Could be something to do with today's date perhaps Q - 1st April?[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 I never noticed the date to be honest but then these 'experts' are such idiots anyway that it might not be a joke. I just wondered what the Mexicans think about it and do they celebrate the 1st April the same way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I can neither spot the mistake nor the poisson d'avril.Tell me what it was please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 He does not know the name of the pre Euro currency for Spain, he keeps calling it a Pesos which I believe is currently the currency of Mexico and stopped being the currency in Spain around the 1850's. Spains currency prior to the Euro was the Peseta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Well I also asked myself what is he talking about Mexico for? So I was on the right track but didnt want to appear even thicker by asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
