Spanish has a formal and familiar version of "you", and each has a singular 
and plural.  They were using the plural familiar form, which is very common 
in Spain, but somewhat less so elsewhere.  And the closest English 
approximation I've ever come up with for it is "y'all", as opposed to "you 
sirs".
