And tell us what you think about the case of the missing 4 year-old Madeleine McCann who disappeared from her parent's holiday apartment in Portugal in May. If you're in Portugal, we'd like to know what you think of the way your police and judicial system have been portrayed AND do you think the British media has been too critical of the way in which the Portugese have dealt with this?
