A Good, Bad or Average Theory What's The Difference?

[Vertigo Swirl]

'Laughable' is obviously the word behind yesterday's carefully aligned door on this year's McCann advent calendar.

I wonder what word we'll see tomorrow ?

”Tosser”, just for you.  :-)

[Mr Gray]

Sceptics appear to be like the labour party...unable to come up with any ideas of their own they resort to childish criticism of their opponents ideas

Ooh, aren't you the touchy one, then

Ooh, you are awful, but I like you xx

Most Portuguese believe amarals false claims Re the dogs and dna... And similarly  some UK people believe maddies blood was found in the hire car.  Theres no accounting for people's ignorance

Did you ask why they doubted the mccanns

Amaral's book and interviews have clouded the minds of the Portuguese,   he was the leading detective why wouldn't they believe what he says.   Unfortunately what he does say is not true,  there was no 100% DNA of Madeleine's found in 5a.

I read on twitter only today they are talking about blood splatter on the walls,  there was no blood splatter,  there was nothing on the walls,  there was nothing on the curtains or the sofa,  but still believe there was.

I’m simply speaking my mind and telling it how I see it.  Striking up conversation about Madeleine McCann with a complete stranger in a M&S changing room 12 years after the child disappeared is strange behaviour to say the least IMO.  It would be like me going to M&S in York and asking the changing room attendant out of the blue what she though about the Claudia Lawrence case.  If I were the attendant I’d be thinking “oi, oi, we have a bit of a nutter on our hands here”.  If you don’t wish to be judged don’t tell us this weird stuff!

If you care to read my first post re this you will see the conversation started as a result of the Portuguese woman  telling her colleague about how her partner was amazed by her family's long get togethers over dinner.  I wanted to find out how a Portuguese person viewed the McCanns dining without the children who were left home alone.  You might think it odd but judging by how the woman responded I would say she didn't and was more than happy to engage.

i wou;d think we already know what peoples views are on the children being left. i dont think the portuguese are the only popele having family get togethers.....and as we have seen they have  a poor record on child abuse

Many will think 'no smoke without fire' and the British tabloids certainly played a part in shaping opinion.  Ok they had to shell out and T7 minus ROB were happy to stand for photo shoot outside court but damage was done.

The discussion such as it is, arose because of your first post which not only was off topic but which has served to deflect the thread since into an entirely off topic direction.
I'm sure that could not have been your intention because you started the thread and chose the topic yourself ... but that has been the end result ... which happens so often on threads the tactic has become par for the course.

How can it be off-topic when I was recounting the theory of another...thread title...: A Good, Bad or Average Theory What's The Difference?

In my opinion the cultural differences between the Portuguese and the British made it very difficult for the Portuguese to understand and accept the McCann's method of 'childcare'. It was difficult for many British people to understand too, despite what Jane Tanner said.

It is normal (culturally, traditionally, education/examples seen) [for] English tourists to leave, for some time, their small children alone in the bedroom/apartment to sleep while the parents are absent, normally guaranteeing that it is done for short periods of time (15/30 minutes). At those times there is a sporadic check, in time, of the places where the children are.

What, I wonder, did Jane mean? As far as I know the group she was with were the only people staying at the Ocean Club that week who decided to do that. That makes it anything but normal imo.

As far as I know there were other families doing the same... It certainly isn't common behaviour but it is not abnormal

I don't think so. Can anyone provide a cite to show that they were ?

As I recall from posts, at the time yes.  It wasn't common but it wasn't abnormal
