Madeleine McCann alive?

[Mr Gray]

"With all formal witness statements, the interview is read over and its contents explained. After having shown their agreement with their statements, the interviewee confirms and signs as accurate the content of the document that follows, conjointly with the "sworn" interpreter, where one is used. This is normal procedure in all formal interviews. In co-signing, the interpreter commits themself legally concerning the accuracy of their translation."

All that was, written in Portuguese..

From a legal point of view it's extremely poor practice

Could you tell me who wrote the quote on the page..

Whose legal point of view? Yours? 

[Mr Gray]

Yes... I deal with signatures on documents all day long..it's a legal minefield... In English law, just because someone signs something is not proof they've understood it.

You said the, statements, could be used in court... That's just your opinion..
I've said fir years the statement s may well contain mistakes... Sutton agrees.. Rebeli Saud they might... Kate Saud they did... That's convincing to me

You cling to that hope Davel. OG have used the statements throughout their investigations....that the main protagonists have not been interviewed is proof of this...and seem to have no problem with their accuracy.

I think it's totally ridiculous to think the mccanns have not been Re interviewed... As, witnesses... Which negates everything in your post

I don't cling to any hope...

It would be a failing on behalf of SY if they haven't since they were the last known adults to have seen Maddie alive.  Add to that the refusal of Kate McCann to answer formal police questions and you have reasonable suspicion straight away.

The innocent parents of a missing child just don't behave in such a manner.

I think it would be such a failing it's ridiculous  to suggest they havent

Sorry, but your opinion about the signatures was wrong. In my opinion your other opnions are also wrong.They are not evidence, just gossip based on nothing concrete.

You don't have to  be sorry I'm not bothered by your opinions... I have enough experience  to know that the statements wibt be accurate and it's interesting Sutton agrees, with me.... And Kate confirms if it... You have no real evidence that they are and the very FACT that translation is not an exact science confirms there will be mistakes

There are No Translations for Nuances.  And some words simply cannot be translated.

Correct indeed.

But all you need to ask for is KISS.

I talk to my 3 year old grandson in words that a 3 year old understands.

I talk to my 8 year old grandson in words that an 8 year old understands.  He can wrap his brain around 'sedimentary' and 'volcano'.  As long I speak slowly and KISS.

We are, I believe, going out for a visit to the Paraiso in Luz, this coming weekend.  Myself, my better half, our daughter, and those 2 out of our grandchildren.

My task is simple.  I have promised to take the 3 year old to the rock pools, just as I did with the older child when he was once 3.

With the older child, I want to talk to him about dinosaurs, and about igneous lava flow.  Rocha Negra @ Praia de Luz.  8 year old stuff.

I like feeding their brains.

 

What is the French word for the dish known in English as 'trifle'?  I have been told by a Spanish daughter-in-law that there is no equivalent in Spanish, but there definitely is.

We need to start co-writing a food blog.  Kindly think about it.

I don't have to kindly think about anything if I don't want to.  Although I mostly do.

I do think that your input is important, if only you could be a little less aggressive.  I understand your love of Portugal.  I was in love with Portugal many years ago, when it was still a Fascist State.  Sadly, I think it still is in various areas of The Judiciary.

And now I love France, and will defend France if I feel like it.

My grandchildren? All a bit older than yours, but they don't know that Brittany is built on hard rock, and doesn't even consider itself to be French.  And they aren't all that interested.  Grandma is nuts and bogged off to France.  And I am not about to tell them for why.

They might one day consider The Celt that I am if they are really interested.  I am a Celt.  That will do.

Madeleine?  If there is no hope then one might as well give up on all things.  Hope is the only thing that the human race has.  It is not for us to decide if and when.

Just as a matter of interest, I have always cooked according to how I feel.  I chuck in any old thing depending on what I have got.  All frightfully French.  But if you want a recipe for my Stew or Pasties then please do ask.  They mostly depend on Viande pour Les Animaux which is awfully good at Euros 2.20  the kilo.
Mes Animaux don't get a lot of it.

But that's another story, and we won't go into what Charlotte, the ghastly Pug does.

I love that pug to bits Eleanor.  From what you've told us about her she and mine would get on famously, but I think on balance mine might be slightly more refeeeined.

Please feel free to defend France, because that is hitting the nail on the head.

My experience of France is around 7 to 10 days in total.  I remember a hovercraft visit with my parents, when both were still alive.  I also remember watching people playing boule in Cannes, and winning a tiny amount in the local casino.  With my beloved.

At 7 to 10 days experience, I know that what I truly know about the country is next to nothing.  It's all done from a distance.  The little Portuguese girl who got murdered there last year.  Personally, I happen to love France, perhaps because it is sunnier than the UK.  Perhaps because I can speak a lot more French than I can Portuguese.

So the offer remains open.  A new blog, or a new forum, as you prefer.  100% nothing to do with MBM.  Just food, glorious food.  Your end is France and all things French.  My end is, well, the rest of the world.

My beloved loves my Singapore Laksa.  Possibly because as she was growing up she spent a couple of years there.   Along with places like the Lebanon, Sudan, India and Pakistan.  She has a truly wonderful tale about a snow leopard getting into her school compound.  Absolutely fascinating.

Come on pussycat.   A blog or forum about cooking.  Yummy, yummy scrummy in my tummy!
