Gerry and Jez chat while Jane walks by. Seconds later she spots Tannerman!

[Alfred R Jones]

If that is your interpretation of what I have said fair dos, I cannot help you with any aberrations you may have, but it does not detract from your original argument being erroneous.
You said:
To be remotely plausible there really should be at least one other instance where police have used this tactic that you can draw on to illustrate its plausibility.

Which statement does not stand up to scrutiny, however if you wish to introduce pigs and all sorts of other diversions which you then seem to wish to attribute to me go ahead. It will not alter the fact that The Met deffed out Tannerman The Abductor, Smithman is a suspect and you made an insupportable postulation.

So, on what basis is it plausible and why do you not believe the Met are using these photofits to spook their chief suspect?

Is it plausible that pigs could in theory fly?  Of course, no pig has ever flown before and pigs don't (as a rule) have wings but surely that doesn't stop it being plausible does it Alice?

Davel will be after you for doing a celestial teapot.

Or did you mean celestial t'pot?

very good - I see what you did there - a nice subtle insult, 

Now perhaps you could answer my question...?

Why?
It had no bearing on what I have been posting about which was your erroneous assumption that for something to be plausible there had to be evidence it had been done before.
You lost that argument several posts ago.

If you say so.  In order to move the discussion on then now that I have conceded that I'm a complete imbecile perhaps you could answer my question?  Fully accept you may not wish to...

1)So, on what basis is it plausible and why do you not believe the Met are using these photofits to spook their chief suspect? 

2)OK, then perhaps you can tell me why you have dismissed this oh so very plausible theory as being believable in this case?  On what grounds?

3)So, to cut a long story short in your view it is plausible that pigs can fly and that the Met are spooking their chief suspect by using a photofit of him on Crimewatch, though despite its plausibility you don't actually believe this is what they are doing.  Cool.   

Which of these were you referring to?

Go for number 2.

Does it contain a typo? It does not appear to make sense.

Does it?  You don't understand the question then.  That's fine, no problem.  I didn't expect a straight answer from you anyway.  Let's just say the theory is both pausible and unbelievable and leave it at that shall we?

Well I thought is should read  "blah de bloody dah UNbelievable" rather than "blah de bloody dah believable"
Please advise

Well I don't think I could bear it if I answered the wrong question.

Night night Alf sleep well.

Anyone notice there is now no mention of smithman anywhere on findmadeleine.com site? Could that mean he's been ruled out as well as tannerman? Although tannerman efit is still there...
