Did you provide cites when demanded a few week ago, Faith? Such hypocrisy! You and several other people. Below my cites ... IMO, just time wasters ... as if you didn't already know that my claim that the bushes had just been cut back was correct! (claim now removed by John). Four points proving my claim. See my next post CITE for Bushes cut back Oh the little thing, a cite, that was demanded by several people on here who IMO themselves owed loads of cites about 2 months ago ... and NEVER gave them. It is below. One poster I except from this criticism.
Having waded thru a number of statements, but by no means all, I haven't found the exact cite I was looking for, but these three points/ photos prove what I was saying.
THE BUSHES HAD JUST BEEN CUT BACK immediately before Madeleine disappeared 1)

4078 'Is there anything that you can think of, worthy of mention, up until the Wednesday night before we move onto the Thursday''
[Matts] Reply 'Erm, no, my initial thought is there's nothing that's leapt out that I haven't mentioned before. Erm, I mean, there was no sort of strange people or anything unusual with the, with the flat. Some people had,
I mean, gardeners came round to trim the gardens once or twice, or maybe just once a week, I mean, because we were there for three weeks, maybe they came round slightly more. Erm, somebody had workmen in maybe during, the shutter we broke, the shutter, erm, broke for, the outside shutter by the patio door broke for us on the first day, I think it went back up into its, so you couldn't actually drop it on the outside, the shutter by the patio, but we didn't drop that anyway, erm, until we got in at night, but I think it broke and it had to be, and I think they did come, yes, they did come and repair it. But apart from that there wasn't really anybody else (inaudible)'. -snip-

http://www.gerrymccannsblogs.co.uk/Nigel/sitebuilderpictures/notwviewfrompatio.jpg This shows more or less the same view as the PJ photo taken the night Madeleine disappeared. On this photo the bushes have grown a little BUT on the PJ Photo taken at the time Madeleine went, the bushes are cut right back
4) 10 year video of kate and gerry mccann sky @1.16 on

@1.16 This shows a pom pom bush on the lh side of the photo. This is one of the two shown in the photos above. It has clearly JUST been trimmed. It will never be the same size again. As the bush matures its size grows, its branches thicken and it will gradually get bigger, even though trimmed regularly.

OK, I haven't found the exact cite I was looking for, but these four points/ photos prove exactly what I was saying. THE BUSHES HAD JUST BEEN CUT BACK immediately before Madeleine disappeared My eyes are not good ... and I resent people disbelieving me, I am Huguenot and proud of my honesty. ... And anyway, established members on here should know me better than that by now.
