In my opinion the compromise wasn't worth it. Going out without your kids, but having to keep going and checking on them. Dining with your friends but having to wear loads of layers because it's freezing cold.

Your opinion is completely irrelevant in this matter.  Was it freezing cold though?  As in zero degrees celsius?  Who knew?

[Vertigo Swirl]

 Back to the very serious conversation.... can you please reply with your thoughts on the question.
"So you would much prefer to add your own reasons for the parents leaving their children alone,while they went to wine and dine and explain with eloquence and error free this is was not a selfish act".

I will check with John  that my contract to allow me to post things you do not like is valid and up to date...

I would attempt to give my take on it, in a way which allows for complexity and nuance of thought but you would simply mock and deride so there really is no point.

"Freezing cold" is clearly an exaggeration.

Of course it is, but nothing beats ped[ censored word]m

What is the origin of that word?

"Etymology
   Look up pedant in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
The English language word "pedant" comes from the French pédant (used in 1566 in Darme & Hatzfeldster's Dictionnaire général de la langue française) or its older mid-15th century Italian source pedante, "teacher, schoolmaster". (Compare the Spanish pedante.) The origin of the Italian pedante is uncertain, but several dictionaries suggest that it was contracted from the medieval Latin pædagogans, present participle of pædagogare, "to act as pedagogue, to teach" (Du Cange).[2] The Latin word is derived from Greek παιδαγωγός, paidagōgós, παιδ- "child" + ἀγειν "to lead", which originally referred to a slave who escorted children to and from school but later meant "a source of instruction or guidance".[3][4]"

Of course, I thought you’d like it

Can you see the patio door here Vertical Swirl? I can't



Or here

Your post is totally misleading.
The viewpoint you are using is not the tapas.
You have mistaken the restaurant for the tapas. Therefore since you have used images which were taken from the wrong position it is hardly surprising they do not reflect what can actually be seen from the tapas.

The tapas bar where the McCanns and seven others ate

The tapas is in the centre of the above image.
The images you have used are actually of somewhere within the restaurant building to the right of that ... note the restaurant pillars in the images you have posted and note the plastic sheeting of the tapas area.

Your post is entirely wrong and is misleading.

I don't agree tha the group had a good view of the McCann patio or that it was illuminated.

ORLY ?

Have you been and seen?

Well I tend to agree.  The principle of their checks was going over to the apartment and not just looking at it.

Succinctly put.

[sadie]

I thought the general consensus was that the view would not be that great as they had to look through a plastic curtain.

I am beginning to wonder if the plastic curtain wall was not in place during their stay. 
Jane stated that she was very cold so she wore Russells Fleece.

When we were there, I wasn't aware that the plastic curtain wall could and was removed at times, but recently saw an image showing the restaurant completely open to the elements apart from the roof.

Which failed miserably,having no one check on Madeleine for circa 45 minutes.
