I'm sat here steaming....................... How dare they say it is the norm...........................I'm really angry now

With all due respect to people from the US, I'm not particularly interested in what their journalists say. Although, interestingly enough, within days of Madeleine disappearing, my SIL's workmates in N Ireland said, 'Well that's what they're like in England'. As so many people in GB have negative views on other religions/cultures perhaps they should bear the evils of stereotyping in mind.

OMG they better not tar us all with the same brush. I most definitely would NEVER leave my kids alone at any age, let alone that young.

Runs on the thread before it is deleted! I read an article in yesterdays paper................did not do anything to dispel my suspicions......... and thats all i'm saying! Rosex

Mmmmmmmm, Which view would you like...................... A view on the article, or on the McCanns ??? I'm not happy if they have said that leaving children alone in Hotel rooms is the norm for us English............... they certainly don't speak on behalf of me !

The United States describes Kate and Gerry McCann as ' GROSSLY NEGLIGENT ' As in this except from Chris Freind of the Bulletin, who says: [quote] ' Gerry and Kate McCann, the **grossly negligent parents of Madeleine ** , a 3-year-old British girl who was kidnapped in Portugal in May. Little Madeleine was left alone in the hotel room, along with her twin 2-year-old siblings, while her parents wined and dined at a restaurant on the resort property. But hey, they allegedly 'checked' on the kids from time to time, between the prawns and paella, no doubt, even though the hotel door was left unlocked for 'fire-safety' reasons. (Explain the logic of that one.) Most amazing of all, the McCanns still don't see anything wrong with what they did. After all, they say, that's the way they do things in Britain. It's just a 'cultural difference,' we're told. ' [end quote]
