because the Falkland islands uses another time zone or?

And Portugal is not Spain
Not really, I just said it's not 100% accurate. When I get up in the morning and turn on Radio Nacional de España to hear the Spanish national news, they always say the peninsula time and the time in the Canaries. I don't think they give the time in the Falklands on the BBC in Britain.

It's a question of distance. And yes, I'm aware that Portugal isn't part of Spain. King Somebody or other in Madrid was fighting on two fronts and chose to let Portugal go so that he could hang onto Catalonia and connection it gave him with Europe, a while back... (or so I've been told...)
