Portuguese or NZ, Chatelaine?

Your guess or mine UltimaThule ... ? They might have some NZ left from "aperitif" time or it might have been one grabbed from the Tapas table, which could have been Portuguese.

Snipped from a post on another thread.....The officers (GNR) claimed that the McCann's and their seven British friends had been difficult to deal with because they had been drinking." They were upset, panicking, wide-eyed, the usual, but there was something else. The were scared- not the usual scared, they were jumpy, nervous. It wasn't normal. None of it was normal", said an officer.

"They'd all been drinking, they weren't falling over but it was hard dealing with them".

Seems like they were all totally p****d. to me.

Probably a case of mistaken identity. I doubt he was going around with a bottle in his hand. That was probably just a Brit tourist who got involved in the searching.

I have to agree , its was unlikely to be gerry assisting in the search for his daughter , though it may have been him searching frantically for someone with a corkscrew .
