The missing headboard?

Maybe the room that says Maddies bedroom is another similar room in a different flat?

Is the White socket on the wall a switch - maybe they wanted to cover it so no tiny fingers could investigate it?

Yes, I was wondering about the switch too... but not sure the headboard (assuming it's removeable) would cover the switch if placed behind the chest of drawers and given that the beds were pushed together in the parents' room with the headboard still attached to the wall, I suspect these headboards aren't removeable.

Oddly, I can't see the knobs on the chest of drawers on the untidy room version.

Having said that, I can't see the switch when the headboard is behind the chest of drawers, so perhaps it does cover it .... but as no knobs are visible in that photo either, the image quality makes it hard to tell whether the switch is covered.

I think kids could be fascinated by a switch they can reach whilst in bed, so I guess it's possible that moving the headboard could have been the final solution to incessant messing about with it.... but I don't think it's removeable.

I think it's a different chest of drawers. The one in the tidy photo looks slightly lower compared to the bedside thingy next to it and the lower drawers look different.

ETA: The wood looks darker in the tidy photo.

....and we were surprised to hear that they were tucked up ion their beds by 7.30...... Why? didnt the twins and Madeleine always go to bed that early allowing K and G to get ready for the evening arriving at the Tapas at about 8.30 jimo.

It could be a different chest of drawers.... it could be a different room (in which case, how weird that there's a photo of it, although perhaps it serves as an example) but the chest of drawers in the tidy room may just look lower once that damned headboard's taken away from it - optical illusions and all that. Not sure about the lower drawers being different... and the wood colour.... yeah, you could be right.

I guess it doesn't really matter though - the untidy room photo is 5a and that headboard is in the wrong place.

When was the tidy room photo taken?
It just looks to me as thought they've got a 'handyman' in to put the room back to how it should be. It looks like the same chest of drawers to me, just a better photo.

It's either the room following a clean-up after the McCanns had left or what it looked like before they got there!

the knobs on the dresser do appear to be missing. Gosh when did they disappear?

Ah yes, I never thought of a before photo. I was presuming it was a press pic taken later. Didn't one of our 'quality' rags pay to go into 5A?

I think you're right. That tidy photo was one of a group published by one of our newspapers.

Think this maybe of interest, may explain
the moving of beds and cots.

Hiya marxman i read the link to Unterdenteppichgekehrt and found the article very interesting, yet some of the comments responding to the article left me astounded. No wonder people call some of those who dont believe the McC haters and stuff, im not repeating the comments here because im sure they are libellous.

Just tried to read that, but it's really badly designed and I can barely make out the text against the background.

Peered closely at a couple, including one by somebody called "Panda" and gave up shortly after. Eyes now hurt.


Edit: Just reloaded it and can, unfortunately, see it properly now: One has to consider if people like "Sine" are actually Pros trying to discredit those who are sceptical of Healy & McCann's tales.
