Yeah, I don't care when it 'appeared' in hard copy anywhere...I'm talking about the idiot e-version of this story from the day before. They screwed up by posting it early. That's all.

23:00 hours GMT. They couldn't have waited one more hour?

Perhaps they have as much difficulty telling time as some do in reading a date?

That means nothing. Once something's been published they can reprint it in any day's edition they feel like.

It was published on March 31st.

And it appeared in the April 1st edition of the Daily Mail as an April Fool.

This was also an April Fool, which appeared in The Guardian:

Scotland to switch to driving on the right if independence given green light | From the Guardian | The Guardian

It's also the last post in this thread: http://forums.canadiancontent.net/i.../122167-scotland-pound-much-ours-yours-3.html

So? It can appear in the April 2nd edition or the April 3rd edition, that doesn't change the fact that it was published and made available online on the day before April 1st.

It appeared in 1st April Daily Mail because it was an April Fool.

They could have done. But, then, not everyone is as pedantic as you are.

Who's "we"? Don't you mean "him"? Lol.

See this is what he does when he's backed himself into a ridiculous corner, just waits a few days until everything dies down then posts a "retort". Suppose it's his sad way of getting the last word in or something. Whatever. Let the baby have his bottle then.

Imagine holding it in for a week. Guy's going to have a stroke. Then again, strokes affect the brain, so maybe not.
