OC Staff made redundant because of McCanns

This has been shown before , but the two Brits giving their opinion at the end , especially the Drummer , tell it like it is.

Something the dummer said has really resonated with me. He spoke of how the Portugese people are family oriented.

Our daughter married a young man whose parents are from Madeira. When we were planning their wedding reception, conscious of the fact that caterers do not differeniate between adults and children (and at $200. a "plate") we suggested the bride and groom confine the guests to adults only. The groom was almost agast; he pointed out that Portugese people do not go anywhere without their children and proceeded to tell us just how family oriented they are.

We were so happy to hear him speak so lovingly of what family meant to him that we relented. There were 25 youngsters (from 3 - 12 years of age) among the guests all of whom behaved beautifully. The wedding reception was marvelous and the only running about the children did was when they danced with their parents.

It reminds me of how horrified the Portugese people must have been to hear that the McCanns and their co-conspirators regularly left their precious children while they were out enjoying themselves because it was "our holiday too". The good local people who put their lives on hold to search for Madeleine and those who subsequently lost their jobs have become victims of this cruel hoax.

Yes interested , the Woman couldn't say much but you could tell she blamed the McCanns because since a child disappeared anyone with young children would be put off. I think the Restaurant has been turned into a takeaway or something like that.

Until Madeleine went missing it had never crossed my mind the possibility of adults going out for dinner and leaving young children home alone. And I was almost 28 when Madeleine vanished.

At least the Paynes' had a baby monitor Claudia. It really shows how selfish the McCanns were on that Holiday, the children in the creche every day, in fact they only saw them for an hour or so in the morning, lunchtime and a couple of hours in the evening , every day of that holiday!!!

Five years down the line and I still can't believe they thought that was 'normal' behaviour on vacation.

It was THERE holiday too!!!
