Why not? I would were I in the same situation, regardless of what I was told. Yellow ribbons and initials are lovely as support but they're not going to do anything useful. Whilst the ME is totally alien to me with regards the rules and regulations, I would feel no different were it France, NZ, wherever. I would jump on FB, any expat forum and shout for help from locals who know how things work.

I would like to know exactly where picture number 1 was taken from?

Thank you xx

Am hoping you are so right sarab sam about him being locked up some where.... He is a lovely man ... a devoting father... has his faults like us all... but does not deserve this...

that picture is outside the gold souk on the Deira side of the Creek, not far from Shindagha tunnel ...

Thank you for your help. Does anybody know if there are any grey pipes coming out to the water into the creek and if there is, are they light grey or dark grey?

Why do you ask?...apologise but it seems a very loaded question and you have a specific reason for asking?

Re: Missing in Dubai - timmy maccoll, sailor

Only just joined so sorry if I have missed anything been on the Facebook group but thought id have a nose on here!!
So what are we all thinking has happened to Timmy then? I must admit at first I thought he was in the water- now I dont and hate to say it but think he's gone AWOL!..I'd not heard that Timmy was apparently spotted 3 days after he went missing//where did it say that?
