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

[Wonderfulspam]

There have been some 8000+ alleged sightings of Maddie during her world tour. That's quite an impressive figure, considering no one was looking for her.

Putting children to bed... Going out to eat an evening meal... Checking at intervals... Was a part of our culture.  It was still being promoted on MW website and other hotels after Maddie was abducted

Putting them to bed? Really? on top or under covers?

[Eleanor]

It was part of uk culture... It was advertised on the MW website and many hotels. These were not isolated incidents and obviously some parents were quite comfortable with it

In this small forum there are probably at least 5 posters who have experience of it... What's that as a percentage

100%, if they are telling the truth.

0.06%

Do you work for the labour party

100% of the 5, yes.

[The General]

Do you work for the labour party

No.

[Mr Gray]

There are a small number if posters here and of these 5 have first hand experience of baby listening

My guess is the children left under this MW arrangement were not as young as the children of T9 but regardless 'the listeners' were listening behind locked doors which is a wholly different arrangement to what the McCanns were doing and possibly the others too if they were slipping up the back passage and thru patio doors.  Also as I understand it 'the listeners' were on constant patrol not checking every 30 mins.  Plus I doubt the parents using this arrangement used it every night maybe one or twice to have some adult time.

The McCanns evening childcare arrangements were a complete aberration.

I'm talking about baby listening in general... Not specifically the mccanns... And whether it was a part of our culture... Which I believe it was..
The mccanns were a variation... Saying it was a complete aberration is opinion... Not fact

The PJ weren't looking for Madeleine.   The McCann's have done a wonderful job keeping Madeleine in the media.  If they hadn't there wouldn't have been the sightings.

In Your Opinion.

So 100% of the supporters who expressed a preference had first hand experience of baby listening service (which wasn't what the T9 were using). So that's 100%.
Not enough data.
Does not compute.
Pointless exercise.

Do you have any evidence of anyone anywhere leaving small children night after night in an unlocked holiday apartment whilst the parents dined out and where the parents could not possibly see/hear what was going on?

What, no sightings whatsoever? Lord Lucan still gets a smattering of sightings to this day.

How terribly helpful all those sightings have been, hence the reason Maddie is home safe & we.....Oh,  no wait. that's right.
