Mrs McCann sounds Liverpudlian or Geordie, Mr McCann Scottish (Glasgow?). In both these areas people historically, working in heavy industries, had to face all sorts of difficulties, so a stoical attitude was an attitude people would adopt. If people just got emotional and knocked over by difficulties, they would not have been able to carry on effectively. Italian/Spanish/Greek/Portuguese, ie Latins, are often very emotional - perhaps due to the hot climate. So maybe it is misunderstanding (like the Louise Woodward baby shaking case in North America) and a bit of racila prejudice against Brits behind their presumption of the McCanns being guilty. What do you think ?
