Not sure if it was law before Maddie's disappearance but it is against the law in the UK to leave children without adult supervision. Not sure at what age the definition 'child' is no longer relevant for that particular legislation.

They are actually Scots, did you not read that in the Guardian.

I think Dad is Scots but Mum hails from Huyton. I don't read the Guardian.

That might be one reason the English media roughed them up.

I didn't know that. I'll borrow Jack's hat and ask if you could provide a link as I'm interested.

And who would you define as the English media in opposition to, say, the British media?

Thanks Jack and I hope you're keeping well.

Not really that difficult Pratty.
Kinda same difference as an Australian and a New Zealander. A Maori and an Aborigine. Simples really.
