Madeleine McCann: A Tapas Quiz, Doctors And McCanns
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
SUNDAY PEOPLE: “COPS’ 3-DAY TAPAS QUIZ”
Big news for those who thought the cops’ specialist food knowledge was donuts and kebabs. Cops making a last-ditch bid to solve the Maddie McCann mystery will spend only THREE DAYS quizzing the Tapas Seven.
Not the Tapas Nine. Not the Sangria Seven.
The detectives are particularly keen to see Dr David Payne, Jane Tanner and her partner Dr Russell O’Brien. Doctors Gerry and Kate, both 39, are not expected to face more questioning.
Doctors. Such are the facts.
The friends deny that their initial statements contain contradictions. But Portuguese police hope that ironing out apparent inconsistencies will help solve the riddle.
THIS IS LONDON: “‘Tapas Nine’ to face three days of police interviews”
Portuguese police are planning to question the so-called Tapas Nine during three days of interviews in a final attempt to solve the mystery of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance.
The so-called Tapas Seven.
Mr and Mrs McCann, who are both still official suspects, are not expected to be questioned.”
DAILY MIRROR: “Tapas Seven to be questioned again in Madeleine case”
The Tapas Seven, who had dinner with the McCanns on the night their daughter Madeleine, four, vanished, will have more than 100 questions put to them by Portuguese police.
Any other facts?
A source told Portuguese paper 24 Horas, said: “We are at a crucial phase. There are clear contradictions in the statements that the McCanns and their friends gave. Many things have to be clarified.
“The need to question Madeleine’s parents again will be determined by the results of the interrogations of their holiday friends.”
Or not. Such are the facts.

You’d be a ‘Pro’ because you dare challenge an ‘anti’ view. Whatever that might be.. including the many fantasies thought up in the name of ’sleuthing’. Pick your team, mate, as one way or another, you are in for a kicking

And what of the cheques Clarrie so kindly said you could make directly to G or K and send to direct to Rothley “It will Make it’s way there, even if you don’t have the full Address”!

I wonder how much of that ever got as far as the “fund”. I imagine the Mcs have had quite a nice boost to their personal accounts

57 Ian.(I know it’s from ages ago, but….)
Hi Ian,
Don’t know whether or not you’re online right now,; I just got back on from this morning and read your interesting comments. Also interested in Matt’s line (60) warning you not get drawn… we can’t have that, can we? Getting involved in a discussion?…my god no!
Pasted below are your original comment from the previous day’s playtime,a dn my reponses asking whether or not you could back it with stats.
BTW-what makes you think that I’m ‘pro-McCann’, I’d be interested to now…
I’m off again now, but will pick up your comments another time.
Cheers…

Incidentally, there are child abusers all over the world, there seem to be more in the UK than anywhere else - I hardly think one such event in Portugal would tarnish the whole country!
The UK is the bad parent capital of Europe. Now we have a King and Queen of bad parenting in Gerry and Kate!

Interesting claims there Ian, re: the UK and some fanciful league table.
Would you care to back them up with any stats?

Hi Dee, hope all is well .
Was it you asking where Garth is? I might be wrong, but thought he was a keen
cyclist, maybe he”s at the World Cycling event in Manchester. Normally, I wouldn”t
watch cycling, but 9 gold medals for Britain is very impressive, lets”s hope it augurs well for the Olypmics.
If true, what”s this about the PJ only staying 3 Days? I read a while ago that the
interviews would be held near the witnesses home, and that there would be 14, now it”s
down to 7…..that”s the Press for you!!!!!!

Did you make a donation to M”s fund?
I still havent seen an ounce of evidence to make me think otherwise. 
If you have given and want it back,Val is setting up an online office for refunds!!!

Might suggest Granny Cape Town takes them. They will scream and scream all the way to Sydney, they even hate the car. will phone animal travel people this week.
Goodnight now past midnight here, Up early in the morning, saw ‘a Good YEAR’ ,made me think of you.
March 30th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Val,If it did turn out that M died that night in the apartment, the backlash will be phenominal i’m sure.
If i had donated, i would want my money back with interest, according to what it would have made me in my account, come to think of it, what has been happening to the interest made on the fund money?

Hi Steve………15,000 pieces of baggage waiting for onward transmission and still
counting!!!!!!!!!! What a £4.3 BILLION cock up.!!!!!!!
I know we have had this discussion before and M& Arts for No Stone Unturned have
been quoted. When the McCanns took Mortgage repayments from the Fund I distinctly
remember MCVey making a speech stating this was not allowed and the money was
returned. If, and it”s a big IF the McCanns are charged with neglect, there will be a lot
people who made substantial donations asking for their money back IMO.

It is the quarantine period that worries me, they are still so young, only about 4 months. Mrs B getting hysterical at the thought of being parted from them. Its a lomg flight as well. We havev2 Rhodesian ridgeback dogs, but they are wanted bu my neighbour . wont settle in town at all.
*****
I know Rhodesians. Fine dogs. But when you’re able to leave them behind, cannot you find someone to take the kittens? Oh, I think I know, there are always favorites. So why not risk the quarantine? As for flying: I’ve seen many times people being allowed by the captain to take the pets into the cabin. Don’t despair. You’re to far away for me to find someone else to take them.

I wouldnt hold my breath on charges being brought against them nor anything real happening at that stage imo
It has gone too far in a big spirale where lots of biggies are involved whatever and which ever reason their involment and a deal is going to take place to “the best interest of all the concerned parties”
I might be wrong
