I see you've been at it again Scrumpy. If you pay a sub you should get a partial refund - you don't stay on their site nearly as long as me  :grin:

Reminds me of a divorcee who used to live over the road from where we were at the time with her child. There were gardening uncles, car fixing uncles, painting uncles galore.  :grin:

It's a retaining wall.. Either side of wide steps leading down to the house..
It also continues one side to the back entrance..
Had it all been brick I would have left it alone.. but , unfortunately when we built the house we were on a tight budget so we used some breeze block..
It looks attractive when painted but bloody scruffy in the winter months..
I need to date a brick layer.. Just until a new brick wall is built..

There are lots of people believe the case was solved years ago.

This was done to death either here or on PF in the past. Diasi provided me with a huge amount of material that people had amassed on the case. Enough to convince me that Goncalo Amaral had it pretty much stitched up with possibly some variations on timelines. I'm not going to go over the affair again but don't expect the UK police investigation to turn anything up or the Germans to pin it on their perv either imo.

Here's a starter. Only 4 hours :grin: Lots more out there from a variety of sources.



As you may know the McCanns are very litigous. Given that how is this still available? Don't forget that they lost their defamation case against Goncalo Amaral on appeal

Quote from: klondike on Today at 10:13:00 AMThere is a lot of mystery surrounding the McCann case.


But surely there is mystery when any child has been stolen?

I do happen to believe someone will solve the McCann's case eventually though.

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 09:18:04 AMThe misery and heartbreak of losing a child under these circumstances must be a living hell..
There have been other children taken from their parents whilst holidaying abroad..
They make the news for a while then forgotten..
Children go missing in this country...

The McCanns fight tirelessly to keep the case open and in the headlines... but... It should not be at a cost to the taxpayer..


I wonder why this sad case has always received loads more publicity and money spent than  other missing children though?
I don't remember any other abducted children ever being in the news as much?


Apparently there were   1,122  kids abducted in England & Wales in 22/23,   and this number is increasing,  yet we rarely hear a word about them.   Why not?

To be honest, if one of those other kids was mine, I could easily start feeling very resentful over such  long term publicity and preferential treatment.

Is that unkind?
