A Monster Calls

[Just-Jude]

Shocking new lead in the Maddie McCann case. The Met will have to return to sun drenched Portugal.

For what it's worth I share your scepticism.

(((YAWN))))....

That beautiful face with haunting eyes. 'New leads' never seem to amount to anything.

[Gromit]

Zzzzzz.

[Baldric]

Best ignored imo.

six months should be long enough to look at every photo in Portugal.

Patsy - "(((YAWN))))...."

Gromit - "Zzzzz"

Very classy of you both.

Well golf courses are pretty grim the the UK winter.

Poor little mite.

Just Jude and YMB - you appear to regard this trip by Met officers as a thinly disguised excuse for a jolly-up in the sun.

I would suggest that any one of them would prefer to visit Europe as the holiday-makers you wish to infer that they are, instead of having to spend hours and hours in offices trying to solve a taxing case involving child abduction.

I would further suggest that not one of them is so keen to enjoy maybe the odd break in the sunshine on the taxpayer that they would think this is a task to relish, and to consider themselves lucky to be involved.

I think you have a somewhat innocent notion of what working abroad is actually like for those who do it.

Oh Andy, there's nothing innocent about Jude's inferences - they are his speciality.
