Asker: kind of both - but i had table originally - as in before the issues of the concheras were not known or cared about, after the process they were dealt with and talked about more.

Asker: je je and the other thing is it was originally a quote from a spanish speaker in spanish which was translated to english and I remember she said sthg a la mesa...
