Now there is an ironic post.

Difference is that I have been to all the places and logically worked things out from checkable facts.  MTI just guesses, because of her dislike of the Mccanns; she just doesn't use logic.


And I always make it plain that it is a hypothesis; she claims her ideas/dreams as fact.  They are not.
But if that is what rocks your boat, so be it … but you shouldn't be a mod in that case imo

Kate wrote about the note at the booking office.  Can you recall that one.

What difference would that make to Tapas bar staff? Would they have seen it ?

Some posts have been unnecessarily aggressive and combative recently which is not conducive to constructive debate. By all means promote opinion and explore theories as long as such are based on facts and accepted understanding.

Finally, please keep posts amicable and informative at all times. TY.

I ask because according to the kitchen assistant "During the times meals are served, she works outside the restaurant for some of the time, near to the grill...She can also say that she has an idea of the group that dined at a table at the Tapas esplanade, of nine adults
https://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/SVETLANA_VITORINO.htm

I can never work out whether that esplanade was inside or outside the restaurant.

Not clear, I agree. However, no one appears to have complained of barbecue fumes within the transparent "tent", so my assumption (right or wrong) is that the BBQ was somewhere outside the "tent", but close enough for the waiters to grab quickly.

No idea, Jassi.

If a block booking was unusual, someone who had seen it could have mentioned it to the waiting staff.

What? That the children were to be left alone each night?

I'd say so.   The staff seemed to know about the arrangement IMO.

Which staff ?  You think it was on a daily bulletin for all to see? Were the McCanns that important?

If what the Tapas Group did was so reprehensible, evil and against all the norms of decent Portuguese society then there is a chance that it was discussed (gossiped about) by the Tapas staff including waiters is it not?

9 adults- yes

Whether you have been there or not is immaterial, you theories are just guesses because you don’t have any proof that would take them further.

Quite. They may be possible, but there's nothing which makes them probable.

At the moment we cannot possibly know which if any of Sadie's theories might have been looked at, ruled out or even taken on board by Scotland Yard.

We do know that Amaral's theories slammed against the brick wall of proper reading of the FSS forensic report.

Theories are nothing more or less than a work in progress and should not be dismissed out of hand unless like Amaral's they have been totally discredited.

Where they recovered the DNA sample that produced incomplete results behind the sofa will be important to the police.

Which one was that in particular?
