Jay Slater (missing kid in Tenerife)

Yeah, I’d read it was an hour after when the first calls were made to report a potential issue. The amount of disinformation out there makes it a tough one to figure out.

Like you said earlier, a possible drugs issue is really muddying it.

Yeah the clumpers from island village (palmers rent a mob) made the whole of the Veronica’s / Starco areas moody as fuck. Throw in your Romanian/Albanian/ Moroccan dealers and pickpockets and the British gangsters (wannabe in many cases) and it was a melting pot of unsavoury cunts.

Went in Veronicas in my early twenties in late 80s. Stayed in about 5 minutes and never went near it the whole two weeks. Stayed in the bar below our hotel being entertained by Sidney Harbour and his wife, Pearl! Singers before anyone starts. ;).

Stunning climate but that's all for me, black beaches are so unattractive and far too many people with issues, but each to there own.

Both could lead to a potential sticky end so play it safe and head to Luton for a week.

It's not far to work to Glossop from Manchester city centre. You can stop for a break in Hattersley

Monday was spent trying to get the stories straight…

I thought the parents both mentioning he didn’t want to go was odd, myself.

I hope you got a free Tiramisu

Didn’t we play them in the Europa Cup?

Was a bit before my time. The mood was good down there when I first arrived mid 90s but had definitely taken a turn for the worse by the late 90s early 2000’s.
Had become a free for all with pub crawls, booze cruises and the usual 18-30 nonsense but after the program ‘Tenerife uncovered’ was aired and showed the island in a really poor light (I was in it..haha!) the authorities had a proper clampdown and banned the 18-30s and a few others like Twenties and over the past 20 years has cleaned its act up mostly.
Still going to get the odd issue but there’s not a tourist destination on the planet that can fully escape the more unsavoury aspects.

Why didn't he try to hitch a lift if he'd missed the bus? Rather than embark upon a 10 hour walk?
