She obviously gets very mucky jogging all the time. so its nice to know that she likes to take personal care of herself

I seem to remember in an old Beatles film they considered the main attribute of Pauls grandad was that he was very clean. Dont knock it.

In case anyone doesn't know, that was a joke based on the actor Wilfrid Brambell's famous screen role as the "dirty old man" in Steptoe And Son.

I remember the scene of Steptoe senior having a bath - in the sink. sick

but hilarious.

Thanks Amy, I couldnt remember his name. what was the horse called? Trigger? or was that benny hill? (not the fools and horses one) he pulled the fastest milk float in the west

by pinkgladioli 10.08.24 15:15

I think it was Ernie

by crusader 10.08.24 15:17

It was called Hercules.

by **Jill Havern** 10.08.24 15:20

Ernie was the milkman, Trigger was the horse.

Talking of transport, does any know if the McC’s have access to the likes of a car or a van say around the 5th May? the reason for asking is there is a photo on Getty Images where they are carrying the twin’s they are both doing a blues brother impersonation with what looks like matching sunglasses, Kate looks like she has a mobile phone in one hand and what looks like a set of car keys in the other, the photograph has a date of the 5th May 2007

by crusader 10.08.24 15:42

Have you got a link to the photo pinkgladioli ?

by pinkgladioli 10.08.24 15:48

Apologies I’ve taken a screenshot I’ll try and work out how to upload it

by crusader 10.08.24 15:49

Good luck. that's not something I can do.

by pinkgladioli 10.08.24 16:06

Hi I’m not the best when it comes to techno stuff! Until I can work out how to upload it, the photo can be found on Getty images, if you put Madeleine McCann in the search box. Then scroll to page 9 of 40 pages of photographs, there’s actually another closer up image of Kate and Amelie
I’ve showed my OH the pic and their conclusion is, it looks like a car key

by crusader 10.08.24 16:27

Thank you pinkgladioli.

It does look like a car key.

by pinkgladioli 10.08.24 16:41

I’m going to have a look at solarpix to check to see if they have images of the McC’s dated the 5th of May to see if their outfits are the same etc

by pinkgladioli 10.08.24 17:48

After looking at Solar pix photos and comparing them with the Getty Image one’s I deffo think they are wearing the same outfits, on Getty images Kate is wearing denims and grey hooded zipper with a line across the front because she has it zipped up you can’t see the top underneath while on solarpix she is wearing the zipper tied around her waste and pink sort of stripe wide necked summer top and the same jeans

On Getty images GM is wearing the same colour of T-shirt as the O’Neil one, although he is holding Sean so you can’t see the emblem on the front he is wearing jeans on solarpix it’s jeans and you can see the O’Neil T-shirt clearly. The only difference is the twins outfits on Getty images they are in shorts and T-shirts while on the solarpix images they are in long tops and trousers. Its not uncommon for toddlers to have changes of outfits on the same day, according to the images on Solarpox the evening of the 5th of May is the night the McC’s done a press conference where GM carries a torch it looks like he is still wearing the same T-shirt as earlier although he has changed his jeans to what looks like navy tracksuit bottoms with a thin red stripe down the sides ( I don’t think I ever seen him wearing them again) and that Mingus beige fleece top with a zip while Kate has changed into that horrible gypsy skirt she seemed to wear on quite a few occasions I think this is when cuddle cat made its debut

Thank you Nina for uploading, if it is a car key KM is holding I wonder who the owner was?

It certainly look like a car key fob, very similar to mine except for the colour. This is the narrative supporting the photograph. Kate was still a bit ''scruffy'' looking. She hadn't yet acquired the glow of self confidence. All in my opinion of course.

Kate McCann, mother of missing three-yea...
Lagos, PORTUGAL: Kate McCann, mother of missing three-year old British girl Madelaine McCann, holds her two-year-old daughter (sister of the missing girl) outside the Ocean club apartment hotel in Praia de Luz 05 May 2007, in Lagos. A team of three British police detectives arrived in Portugal today to help track down a suspected kidnapper believed to have abducted the British toddler.

It doesn't look like a car key to me. Looks like a key ring with something metal inside a plastic hinged sleeve. Not sure what it is.

Anyone got a picture of a 2007 car key that looks like that?

by crusader 10.08.24 20:58

It could be a mini multi tool key ring.

by Ladyinred 10.08.24 21:03

It's the key to the patio door

by Cake Lover 10.08.24 21:06

Good find; but what would they need it for? Did they take a horse on holiday?

by crusader 10.08.24 21:06

The patio door didn't need a key, unless it was the key to the new apartment.

Cake Lover said Good find; but what would they need it for? Did they take a horse on holiday?

Nothing would surprise me.

by Bluebagthepirate 10.08.24 21:27

It could actually be a phone.

Some of them were pretty small in 2007.
