The 'three burglars'-comments from the McCanns' solicitor-but not from the McCanns

If it is, possibly Kate's signature at 17.30hs, (5.30pm) is not true.
I remember, very long ago, Amaral refering to a "infantário"(crèche) close to the building where the McCanns were staying. I wondered what he was talking about.

Sacked Ocean Club employees are “hurt” at the couple

The McCann couple is not welcome at the Ocean Club, that is dealing with a mass dismissal that affects 21 employees.

In the letter that they received last Friday, two clear references are made to the main motive: the Madeleine case. The indignant workers prefer not to show their faces, fearing to be hurt in their compensation payments. They all state that they are “hurt” and believe they were “fooled” by the couple.

“We worked from 8.30 a.m. until midnight just to protect them. We did everything, we helped with the searches, we looked everywhere, we never let the journalists in and this is how we are thanked”, a former reception worker laments. She accuses Kate and Gerry of having created serious financial difficulties for the company by scaring tourists away with the media circus that they created, and of promoting a bad environment.

“Gerry didn’t want to come here when the Polícia Judiciária contacted him. Why does he come now? Does he want to push this place even lower than it already is? Hasn’t he realised yet that we live off tourism? There are 21 ruined families. It looks like he is mocking us”, she accuses. As there are no doubts that the case has weakened tourism, they consider the possibility of suing the couple. “We hurt nobody, all we want is our work, to be left alone and that the tourists return. Mr McCann should disappear from here for good. We’ve had enough of him”. In 2007, 130 persons worked at the Ocean Club. Two years later, the number was down to 48. Now, 21 have been dismissed, and the ones that remain fear a similar outcome.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now the Met are going to get the place shut down with their 'accusations' against former employees.

Well who's going to book a holiday there now?

90% 'chance' of the your apartment getting 'burgled', child snatchers and undesireables EVERYWHERE, if you believe Redwood.

McCanns, and NOW the Met, planting the idea that the OC, PDL is 'a gateway to child snatching hell', have got a lot to answer for, imo.

Marconi, there is nothing feminine about "employees" - but I did ask on another thread if anybody had seen any references to these three workers in Portuguese so that the possibility of ambiguity around their sex could be explored. So far we have three men - if SY were to be genuinely looking at the creche nannies then that would be dynamite, to me.

Employee is feminine in French, that is why I asked the question.
English comes from French.

Thanks Marconi, that's brilliant, exactly why I asked. So the creche nannies could be in the frame then?

We really have entered into the realms of the ridiculous.  All these criminals who worked at the Ocean Club in PDL have led blemish free lives for the past 7 years while the McCanns have stacked up millions via a fraudulent fund.  Just how stupid do they think we are?

"All these criminals who worked at the Ocean Club in PDL have led blemish free lives for the past 7 years"

And, strangely, all these 'former employees' of the OC that the Met Police want 'checking' did NOT 'nick' a single child in the 7 years prior to the McCanns and T7's  arrival!

NAJOVA CHEKAYA (Aerobics Instructor/Quiz Organiser)
Najova Chekaya is the aerobics teacher running the quiz. She was invited over to the McCann table by Mr McCann himself when the game ended at 9.30. She stayed for half an hour. She later claimed to friends that nobody left the table. Najova Chekaya lives in Flitwick, Bedford.

Kate would have not been 'pleased' with his 'invite'..............wouldn't she?

I have a serious problem: I am very intelligent.

I wonder if she is one of the 3  suspect funcionários.
