It's official! Jobless have only 8.6pc work chance UNEMPLOYED people in Spain have only an 8.6 per cent chance of finding work. Five years ago, those seeking employment stood a 29.4 per cent likelihood of finding work, according to employment agency association AGETT. And indicators suggest this year’s third quarter up until the end of this month will be ‘at least’ as negative as the same period last year. Unemployment figures for recent months still do not fully reflect the outcome of the latest government spending cuts or increased taxes, AGETT warns in its latest report. Job-seekers face the greatest difficulties in Castilla-La Mancha with a 6.4 per cent probability of finding work, followed by Extremadura (6.5 per cent), the Canary Islands (6.9 per cent), Andalucia (7.7 per cent) and Cataluña (7.9 per cent). The best places to look for work at present are the Balearic islands, with a 17.9 per chance, Navarra (14.3 per

Vegas odds no worry to ONCE lottery
ONCE - which holds daily lotteries throughout Spain - is unworried that it might lose out through plans for the EuroVegas casino complex in Madrid. “It does not affect us one way or the other,” said ONCE chief, Angel Sanchez. “EuroVegas’ arrival in Spain is a further example of the increase in operators and how more of us have
to share out the cake.” ONCE, Spain's organisation for the blind, has in recent weeks launched a new Euro-jackpot lottery in eight European countries with €10 million to €90 million prizes. This is its first step outside Spain in a move to cut its dependence on the national market. Looking back, Sanchez said that for ONCE, the crisis began at the
beginning of the century when we had a share of more than 10 per cent of the market. Now it has dropped to 7.4 per cent. Since then ONCE has reinvented itself with new types of lotteries. “We went to petrol stations, ‘estancos’ (state tobacco shops) and street kiosks not previously clients of ours,” said Sanchez.

S
PAIN’s main cities - whatever the majority of expatriates appear to believe - are a dream for drivers compared to average large European
cities. But Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia clearly lead the way for heavy gridlock and pollution compared to other Spanish locations. In general, it takes 24 per cent longer for drivers to reach a destination in European cities because of road traffic than on normal roads.
But in Barcelona, the worst Spanish city for traffic congestion, it takes only 21 per cent longer, followed by Madrid (16 per cent) and Valencia (14 per cent). The most congested European city of 31 surveyed by a satellite navigator company was Warsaw where it takes 42 per cent longer to get anywhere. The Polish capital just gained the dubious honour of being Europe’s most congested city over the French riviera city of Marseille (41 per cent).

The taxman gets tougher From front page more than during the same period last year. And €3 out of every €4 were recovered through control operations. Big taxpayers, mostly business, were responsible for paying over 27.5 per cent of the amount clawed back. Hacienda, which expects to obtain a total of €8,171 million this year through control operations, is widening its net by requesting information from 51 banks regarding safety deposit boxes.
There were 4,500 investigations into apparently empty homes and premises with suspiciously high electricity consumption. Three out of every four examined were found to be occupied, without having been declared. Another 750 investigations centred on homes registered as principal residences which were second homes and therefore liable to a higher tax rate. Hacienda also carried out 1,700 ‘submerged economy’ operations, pinpointing tax irregularities in onethird of them.

Second crash in six days at La Cala ‘death bend’ THE ‘death bend’ on the A-7 at La Cala de Mijas has claimed another life. Only days after local residents demanded action, on Monday a 78year-old man died after suffering a heart attack at the wheel. The Centre for Traffic Control said the car careered off the road, crashing into a guard rail. This was the second fatal accident in six days in the same spot, though the earlier crash involving a lorry happened on the carriageway going in the opposite direction. Mijas Mayor Angel Nozal said: “The speed limit for this road used to be 100km and it was cut to 80km at this dangerous spot. “But now the speed is limited to 80km on the whole stretch of road, not just on the bend, so no one hits the brake

The lorry ended up on its side in a slip road heading towards Fuengirola. Two other people injured in the crash were taken to the Costa del Sol Hospital. Some fuel was spilled on the road which had to be closed to traffic heading towards Fuengirola, leading to tailbacks of four kilometres.

Traffic was re-directed via the Hippodromo minor road. Residents in the La Cala area have demanded that improvements be made to the road to prevent further accidents. The bend is notorious locally for accidents, with two or three serious crashes on average every year. The local residents are being supported by the local town hall in their demands, and the Ministry of Public Works has been asked to solve the problem. The residents suggest either improving the road or installing speed cameras until the work can be carried out.

FUENGIROLA is striving to keep its appeal as a tourist destination with new hotelresort projects. In the last two years, more than €41 million was invested in Fuengirola’s hotel industry, said Mayor Esperanza Oña. Last June, the 177-room four-star THB Reserva del Higueron opened its doors, after a €20 million investment. Many hotels are currently being restored and will expand their current room availability and services. Hotels Angela and Masplaya are upgrading from three to four stars.
By spring 2013, the old city hall building will transform into the new Casa Consistorial Hotel with 43 rooms after a €5.7 million investment. “We are constantly seeing news about hotels closing or firing workers in other towns in Costa del Sol and Andalucia. It is good news that Fuengirola is not such a case,” said Oña. The mayor also reported an 85 per cent occupancy rate for Fuengirola hotels during July and August, whereas the leisure port worked at full steam (100 per cent) unlike the 61 per cent average rate in Andalucia.

Marbella show for top mosaic artist BRITAIN´S leading mosaic artist will be the focus of a unique art exhibition in Marbella later this month. It will be the first time Ed Chapman - who made a Jimi Hendrix portrait out of 5,000 plectrums for Cancer Research UK last year which sold for £23,000 (€28,750) - has shown his work on the Costa del Sol. The Manchester artist who has worked with royalty has created six unique mosaics to be displayed by the Art Wanson Gallery at the Marbella Club Hotel-Golf Resort and Spa at the exhibition opening on September 27, running for three weeks. Chapman, who will attend the opening,
has created portraits in stone and ceramic tile of Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali for display. He will be showing portraits of John Lennon and David Bowie and a portrait of footballer David Beckham, made of 3,504 coins. He has also made a unique mosaic table of the US flag. Previously Chapman was famed for having created works in glass, chewing gum and sugar cubes and has sold to celebrities with his mosaics giving the ancient medium a funky new twist. “I’m really looking forward to this exhibition in Marbella," said Chapman.

ANY months has gone into the intricate planning and development of Richard Lewis Living, a branch of renowned company Richard Lewis Interiors; conveniently located next door to their showroom, in the heart of Guadalmina Alta. It promised to mirror Saks – Fifth Avenue, Harvey Nichols, John Lewis and David Jones and indeed it did as some 200 guests marvelled at the luxurious store on the opening night. The happy crowd were treated to copious amounts of oysters washed down with the finest wine whilst being entertained by violinist, Quickie Navarro. There followed the live screening of Marbella Mansions. It was quite literally show-stopping and portrayed Seb and Jonty quite beautifully as the maestros they undoubtedly are, within the world of interior design. Four of the 10 episodes are dedicated to Jonty Richard Lewis, well-known Marbella designer and personality. Jonty, who is originally from Ramsbottom, Lancashire, and his partner Sebastian are well known in Marbella for their outrageous and colourful design style. Throughout this new series, Jonty showcases his design talent across a variety of luxury properties; an exclusive golf townhouse; a stunning apartment; as well, of course, opulent villas and mansions. Jonty Richard Lewis may be the King of fabulous interiors and gardens, but his personal approach with his privileged clients is down to earth, and super discreet. He makes sure that every project truly reflects the lifestyle of the property owner. Jonty, however, is a natural risk taker, and loves to push the boundaries of interior design. He was the first in southern Spain to pioneer the concept of the fully integrated Show Home; allowed discerning clients to purchase not only complete bespoke interiors but also to be inspired and shop by room style, as well as indulge

In a nutshell it boasts portable home accessories. “It is very design led and all chosen by us,â€? say Jonty and Seb. “We sell all the type of things we have in our own home such as the shower gels we use. It is very much about us both, such as our own range of RLI candles, towels and bedding range. We will also be selling, gift cards and gifts, stationary, books, garden accessories and plants.â€?

2001 closures hit franchises EXACTLY 2,001 franchise businesses closed in Spain in the first six months of this year. As a result there was a loss of 16,776 jobs. Worst affected were retail outlets and the services sector, with beauty and travel particularly hardhit, revealed franchise consultants Tormo & Asociados. Food outlets from icecream parlours to pubs plus Italian restaurants fared better among franchises than others, according to the latest report. By the end of June this year there were 1,078 franchises in Spain, one fewer than at the end of 2011. If Tormo & Asociados’ calculations
prove correct, 1,100 franchise brands will be operating by the end of 2012, with a total of 64,800 premises. “Viewed within the general economic situation, franchises present a more positive environment than other sectors,” Eduardo Tormo was reported as saying. There was a current tendency towards ‘low cost’ products with reduced prices to tempt consumers, Tormo said, but quality would assume an important role in the future of franchises, he predicted. Calling for specific regulations to guarantee quality, he warned that ‘unreliable’ firms are entering the franchise scene.
The three destinations cheaper than Barcelona among the top 10 outbound destinations are fifth placed Berlin (€91), seventh in the table Las Vegas (€105) and tenth positioned Dublin also at €91.

Driving to clear understanding of laws over licences from UK

IN YOUR article on changing from English to Spanish driving licences, you stated as long as drivers have an address in the UK from which to renew the licence, then driving in Spain on the British European Licence is permissable once the medical exam required by Spanish law had been taken. You stated if stopped by the Guardia production of the medical certificate with the licence proved compliance with the law. I went to the medical You and the centre and passed the test. Law in Spain I then asked them to verify By David Searl that I did not need to change my licence as I had an address in the UK where I could be traced and renew my licence when necessary. The staff at the medical centre were amazed at my suggestion (and the article). They contacted the Guardia Civil at Alicante who stated that as a resident in Spain I must change my driving licence to a Spanish one. Can you please verify as many residents probably take your articles as ‘gospel’. If you can quote a definite section of Spanish law that states motorists can drive in Spain lawfully using our UK permit with the Spanish medical, I will be quite happy. M.L. (Costa Blanca)
A
We have two issues here. First, “as long as you have an address in England where you can renew your licence” is not what I said. Giving an English address is not only not necessary, it is illegal for people resident elsewhere, including Spain. I am sorry that my response did not make this clear. If you renew your British licence while residing in Spain, thus deceiving the UK authorities, you are in violation of European Union directives. Second, if you hold a valid UK or other EU licence and you take the medical exam, you can lawfully drive as a resident on Spanish roads. Tell your people at the Medical Centre and the Guardia Civil at Alicante to note Article 15.4 of the “Reglamento General de Conductores” which was enacted by “Real Decreto 818/2009 del 8 de Mayo”.

www.euroweeklynews.com IN July, the President of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, promised to do “whatever it takes” to save the Euro. On 6th September he took action, announcing a new programme which could see the central bank spending billions of Euros to support troubled Eurozone countries. It was seen as the biggest step so far to protect the single currency, and sent a strong message to markets that the Euro is here to stay. At its governing council meeting, the European Central Bank (ECB) agreed to launch a new, open-ended and potentially unlimited bond buying programme. Named Outright Monetary Transactions (OMTs), the Bank will be able to openly buy sovereign bonds in the secondary markets. This ECB intervention should reduce the cost of borrowing for countries like Spain, Italy and Portugal. Sig. Draghi explained that this would address the severe distortions in the government bond markets, which originate from investors’ “unfounded fears” about the survival of the single currency. “The Euro is irreversible,” he added. The decisive move was welcomed by most European leaders and the markets. It has been described by various analysts as a “game changer”. Speaking to the Financial Times, Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Co-

Super Mario’s “Bazooka” operation and Development (OECD) José Angel Gurría said: “This is your bazooka. This is the muscle and the fire power which is quite awesome because effectively, theoretically, it’s unlimited.” What is different this time? There are a number of new elements compared to previous interventions. Bond-buying will be restricted to short-term debt of up to three years. The ECB will forego its status as senior creditor, so the Bank will take equal ranking with other creditors in the event of default. The bond buying will be “sterilised” to counter inflationary risk. The ECB will take an equivalent amount in deposits from banks to avoid flooding the Eurozone with new cash. Collateral standards have been lowered, making it easier for banks to borrow capital. There are very strict terms attached to receiving this assistance. Strict terms The ECB will only help countries which agree to implement strict policy conditions. They will have to request official help from the appropriate EU stability mechanism – to apply for a direct bailout – and put strong plans in place to get their

finances back on track. Portugal and Ireland are already receiving bailouts, but when it comes to Spain and Italy the ball is now in their court. Applying for a bailout would likely mean increasing austerity measures such as spending cuts and tax rises. Response Much of the response was positive. Jim O’Neill, chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, said that the ECB is “telling us the markets should not keep worrying about the risk of a Euro breakup and we will do things to enforce that reality.” Political leaders and central bankers have “fully signed up to some kind of medium-term United States of Europe”, he observed. Andrew Cox, G10 strategist at CitiFX in New York, said the details “add to the credibility of the safety net taking shape in the Eurozone and should support demand for
Eurozone assets”. There are, however, concerns that this programme could impose more austerity on countries which really need to grow their economies, and that the underlying causes still need to be addressed. The ECB is fully aware its action alone cannot fix the Eurozone. The bank made explicit political demands on Eurozone government leaders, saying that they “need to push ahead with great determination with fiscal consolidation, structural reforms to enhance competitiveness and European institution-building.” There needs to be more integration between countries, even if this means pooling sovereignty and surrendering national powers in fiscal and budgetary policy. Nonetheless, the ECB’s bond buying programme does buy the troubled countries more time to right their fiscal imbalances and increase economic competitiveness and productivity. There is still a way to go before the Euro crisis is behind us, but this is a positive step forward. Implications While British expatriates living in the Eurozone may be encouraged by the assertion that the Euro is here to stay, it is of limited value. The continuing macroeconomic background of financial pressures besetting
Eurozone governments have led to them recognising the need to raise tax revenues. This aspect is likely to continue and with capital and wealth taxes increasingly coming into focus, this puts property owning expatriates firmly in the firing line. To explore how this impacts you and what options are available, you need to sit down with a firm which understands what local tax implications the Euro crisis has for British expatriates, and also considers the long arm of the UK tax office. From an investment point of view, although markets reacted well to the news at the time, this does not mean the end of volatility in the short-term and it is important to have a welldiversified portfolio. Seek professional advice on the most advantageous way to position your portfolio for current and future market conditions. Speak to a firm like Blevins Franks which specialises in providing personalised tax and investment advice to expatriates living here in Spain, and can help you review and plan your wealth management in the current economic climate.

EWN COMMENT Thesaurus matter MONEYMEN routinely condemn antispeculation measures. Unsurprisingly, Mariano Rajoy’s intention of capital gains tax during the first year of an investment rapidly earned criticism that it will ‘hinder investment’ from Spain’s Stock Exchange regulatory board. Rajoy’s short-selling ban and inclination towards a Tobin tax also received the thumbs down, proof that for some investment is always synonymous with PICTURE BY: MATTHI / speculation.

Independent views HUNDREDS of thousands of Catalans took to Barcelona’s streets on Cataluña’s National Day. Regional president Artur Mas attributed this to backing for a fiscal pact with central government but it was
unmistakeably a proindependence rally. Cataluña, meanwhile, wants a no-strings bailout from Madrid. But those going cap in hand tend to receive more when they refrain from not also thumbing their noses.

Temperature test for expats gets tempers flaring

L etters OPINION & COMMENT
EWN
WITH regard to UK Minister of Works and Pensions, Ian Duncan Smith’s plan to introduce a temperature test for the Winter Fuel allowance, I have written to him expressing my views and disgust. I will not accept his reasons for excluding expat pensioners and will take it to the relevant Ombudsman and the European Court of Human Rights if necessary. He intends to challenge the ruling by the European Court of Justice that expats should be entitled to receive the fuel allowance. If he is not convinced that expats in Spain should get the heating allowance, I have suggested he consider a Summer Cooling Allowance to assist our increased power bills due to running air conditioning. Why should people who have contributed to the UK economy all their lives be denied this benefit while thousands of immigrants to Britain who have contributed nothing receive a wide variety of benefits? UK State Pension is already low. In other EU countries it is paid to allow pensioners lifestyles similar to before they retired, but UK pension keeps them just above starvation. R.G.Waugh, Fuengirola (Malaga)
Lesson to note SAYING that the ‘administration is doing everything possible to destroy the state education system’, as the group protesting outside an Alicante City school said (Costa Blanca North, Issue 1419) is a bit harsh. The administration is in a very difficult economic situation and is trying to see where it can make cuts. I think they are looking in the wrong areas; however I doubt they are intentionally going out to destroy the education or health system.
Rachel Garden, Benidorm (Alicante)
Not really ‘open’ FOUND it sort of funny when I read (Costa del Sol Issue 1419) that Mrs Esperanza Aguirre said ‘Madrid is more open, more cosmopolitan’, as a reason why Las Vegas Sands chose the capital over Barcelona. Madrid is cosmopolitan. But when Aguirre says ‘open’, she should have specified ‘open to whatever Las Vegas Sands desires.’ Most people in Spain are not aware of how harmful the tobacco ban is to slot halls, casinos, bars and

restaurants. Millions have been lost, thousands of jobs lost but it is the law and must be respected. Now an American millionaire comes with promises of wealth, demanding smoking is allowed in his casinos, and he wins. How fair is that? Nicolás Romero, Torremolinos (Malaga)
An A1 service I AGREE with the report by Nick Snelling (Issue 1419) that there is a BIG misconception about healthcare here in Spain. I have lived here since 1968 and have been in hospital many times with various serious health problems including cancer four times. Throughout the healthcare I have received in the Hospital Marina Baixa and in other various hospitals was second to none. One thing I don’t agree with is that we should expect the Spanish doctors to speak English. Many do and if not there are interpreters, but why should we expect doctors to speak English in Spain? Judi Lorente, Benidorm (Alicante)
Grisly images IT was interesting to read how the grisly cigarette packet images are the least effective in getting people to stop smoking (Issue 1419). I have always said that those already hooked will either turn the packet over so they do not see it or put the cigarettes in a nice case. It is still worth it if images deter young people from taking up the habit, though the best way stop people smoking is to make it too expensive, as the article indicated Kandice H, Calvia (Mallorca)
Seeing the light I AM sure Rick Polanski is sincere about his recent experience to a Buddhist retreat (Almeria Issue 1418). However, as a local Christian pastor I feel the need to respond to his recommending of Buddhism for those who “feel short changed on what they have been offered as spiritual compensation”. All religions apart from Christianity focus on what man must do to achieve a level of spirituality and so called enlightenment. This ultimately is based on people striving to satisfy their own needs, which fails to provide the inner peace they look for. This was the same scenario Jesus faced with those who strived under the legalistic system of Judaism. In contrast Jesus offers a peace that passes all
RICHARD BRIDE has a point in his letter (Issue 1419) as to why many Spanish are not as fluent in English. He says that in Mexico movies and TV are sub-titled, not dubbed. He also referred to Danes, Finns and Dutch having a superior level of English. When I lived in Denmark they too had movies and TV programmes in the original version with sub-titles. This helped me when learning Danish and it is how many Danes improve their English. Jane Harder, Mijas Costa (Malaga)
Faulty planning IN response to Brian Mullin’s letter (Issue 1419) regarding police putting a stop to musical activities following a complaint. I think that if someone is trying to get some sleep because of work the next day, they are entitled to make a complaint if it is after midnight. However, I agree that entertainment is essential for a town’s benefit and tourism. It all boils down to poor town planning. Residential areas and night spots should not be mixed. Jasmine Forrest, Estepona (Malaga)
Bad bar talk MY wife and I with our young daughter went to an Englishowned bar in Turre, but left after five minutes. This was because the language coming from three men – one possibly the owner – was quite atrocious. They were loud and there was at least one swear-word in every sentence and they had no consideration for other people whatsoever. There were two other couples who quickly departed as well.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT views, their attitudes toward women, and their warped sense of justice, their barbarous punishments and their complete disregard for human life. They want us all to return to the dark ages; partaking lives of complete misery and hardship, because it’s going to be great when we’re all dead! Well thanks, but no thanks. We need to withdraw all our troops. Stop monetary aid and close our embassies.
ATTITUDE TO WOMEN: They expect us all to admit they are in the right. Let ‘em all get on with it. When they’ve killed most of their own citizens and reduced all their countries to rubble, we’ll think about doing our deals with whatever rises from the ashes. In the meantime we have to re-negotiate the price of oil with the few Mid East countries that still are our allies. Liaise with the Americans and do a great deal more drilling in Alaska and the North Sea. Let em stick their oil and their problems where the sun don’t shine.
If Iran truly appears to want to annihilate Israel we must deal with them accordingly and tell China and Russia to mind their own business (what they gonna do, nuke us?). If you want proof of how far we are down the road to appeasement, you only have to see the treatment of the author of this aforementioned film which apparently mocks Mohamed. With hands cuffed behind his back, large sunglasses, his head swathed in towels and
roughly bundled into the back of a police car, he appeared like a captured serial killer or highly dangerous rapist. Can you imagine the director of ‘The Life of Brian’, or the author of ‘The Producers’ being treated in this fashion!? It’s a joke. For heaven’s sake get a grip all you so called leaders. The pussy footing simply has to stop or heaven help us all. Keep the Faith, Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com
Paralympic switch off WHAT is wrong with Leapy Lee? Was he forced to watch the Paralympics (Issue 1418)? Does his TV supply only one channel? Does his TV set have an on-off button? The paralympics were never set up to be entertainment. However, if people wish to watch and admire these athletes then they should. If not, don’t. Simple! John Langston, Alfaz del Pi (Alicante)

LETTERS TO LEAPY
ELL, that’s it. Without doubt this week’s events in the Middle East have convinced me that enough is finally enough. Our brave troops have been murdered by the very people they are supposed to be fighting for. Diplomats have been killed, in what were considered to be the safe havens of their embassies and, as usual, a ludicrous reaction to a short piece of film has, I sincerely hope, finally convinced the West that our efforts in the Middle East are an utter waste of time. The majority of its countries will never share our values, sense of decency, or indeed give any support to civilized western societies. When will our leaders realise the Mid East doesn’t want us as allies. They don’t want to join us in a unified quest for peace and development - it frightens them. They’re not ready. They still live in the 14th century. What they truly want is for us all to become Easternised. They want us to all categorically admit they are in the right. Force us to adopt their religious
Well, Leapy Lee, that’s a jaundiced view of cyclists (Issue 1419). I’d like to see the motorist automatically at fault in a collision with a cyclist, as in Holland.

T is no secret that institutions develop their own language in the interests of time and confidentiality. Recently, a US newspaper published some of the secret codes used in American restaurants. What about the UK’s? I hear you ask. Well, ‘HAF’ means ‘had a few’ while ‘PIA’ is code for ‘pain in the **** ’. Now, we all know that waiters and restaurant staff use various terms to describe their patrons, mostly derogatory but occasionally complimentary. But am I a PIA because I’d like my white wine chilled rather than at room temperature? Or because my friends and I would like our starters at the same time, if at all possible, so we can eat together? Or because I think a rare steak ought to contain at least some trace of redness inside? Similarly, am I a PIA for asking to sit at THAT table, not THIS one in a virtually empty restaurant, and insisting that an expensive bottle of wine be opened in front of me? I’m paying, after all, and that’s my choice as a customer. Well, if I have to be labelled a PIA for asking the waiter to indicate which desserts have nuts (to which a family
Secret codes: are you a PIA, GPO or NFT? member’s allergic) when it’s not clear on the menu and then having to send back a slice of brownie containing huge chunks of hazelnut, so be it. Who wouldn’t rather be a pain in the **** than end up in A&E with an adrenaline shot? Doctors too have their own codes. While a ‘GLM’ is a ‘good looking mum’ with ‘GLL’ (‘great looking legs’) and an ‘FLK’ is a ‘funny looking kid’, a ‘TBP’ is a ‘total bloody pain’ and a ‘GPO’ ‘good for parts only’. ‘House red’ means blood, ‘slashers’ general surgeons and the ‘Freud Squad’ psychiatrists. One doctor ending up in court had to explain ‘TTFO’ (‘Told To F*** off’).

Intriguing facts of sky-high life THE majority of people flying within Europe use budget airlines, with life at 35,000 feet very different to the world of global inter-continental travel. But airline facts and figures makes intriguing reading. • All International Airline Pilots speak English. • Flights longer than eight hours require three pilots (one captain and two first officers) to rotate flying duties. Flights longer than 12 hours require four pilots (one captain and three first officers). They usually fly three to four hour shifts. • Each airline pilot flying the aircraft, eats a different meal to minimise the risk of all pilots on board being ill. • On average, pilots fly between nine and 14 days a month, though some in Asia fly 24 - 26 days. • All airlines have an agreement to ‘let’ pilots from other aiirlines occupy empty seats. If no
The normal crew ratio is one flight attendant for every 50 passengers. The average pilot flies between nine and 14 days a month.

Ché versus Darwin but they never met!
HARLES DARWIN in ‘Origin of Species’ wrote about instinct. Instinct is that which compels us to act in a certain predetermined largely unconscious way. It is instinctual to jump when someone (older brother) leaps out at you from a dark doorway, or to salivate when forced to stand beside a chocolate fountain under instruction not to dip your finger. It is also instinct to clutch your purse when travelling on the tube and to avert one’s eyes when forced into a situation that requires a certain blurring of the truth (I was often late home not because a large rat jumped onto the live rail but because a rat called Johnny kept buying me large Tequila slammers, but Dan didn’t need to know that hence the averted eyes). Instinct saves us from tedious moments of Suzanne has a degree in Fine Art from Goldsmiths and an thought and MA in Writing from Lancaster University. She is currently endless internal teaching in Alicante and writing a book for teenagers (which doesn’t have a vampire as its central character). debates and choices (“Shall I INSTINCT: That which compels us to act in a certain predetermined way. jerk my head back to avoid the ball animals due to the or should I dive for cover and fact that rational thought entered food for large tooth, long clawed Darwin argued that instinct is make a complete fool of myself?”). the human race and knocked creatures, until he discovered the what makes a species survive (that The brain works hard enough as it instinct into the nether regions wheel and then thought flew out and the ability to build barbeques is without having to sweat all the sometime around the ice age. of the window to be replaced by from house bricks) and evolve. small stuff.

Suzanne Manners
So deep in the reptilian part of our brain lives a little creature that from time to time fiddles with the fight or flight instinct and keeps us from harm. Fear of the dark, of strangers, of hissing sounds in the undergrowth and of elasticated waistbands has kept many a woman safe and sane. Most grown women can immediately spot the creep or psycho (except my friend Maggie who would invite them in to her flat oblivious to the flickering tongue and sound of hissing) often simply due to a ‘feeling’ precipitated by a judder of disgust. Cats are alleged to possess excellent instincts, quick reflexes and an agility that completely confounds all natural laws. Except that is for my own cat, Ché, who possesses no instincts whatsoever. Last week Ché fell off my balcony and I haven’t been able to erase the image of his wide eyed, shocked face as he plummeted to what we both thought was his doom. Luckily he was unharmed if a little splayed, but unlike humans cats do not suffer from embarrassment and so he was able to shake off the shock and resume his day to day pleasures which mostly consist of attacking my son’s feet and eating crickets. Darwin wrote: “...all cats are fundamentally the same and remain so through time.” Well he never met Ché did he?

IVING by the Mediterranean, sooner or later most of us stumble upon the boat conundrum. To buy or not to buy? Our aspirations may range from a particularly sleek canoe or something more sumptuous to accommodate the family, Ferrari and ego, too. The problem is; what if the boat in the berth next door is bigger than yours? There is little more upsetting than shelving out enough euros to bail out a Spanish bank, only to find that your 40metre buoyant extravaganza looks diminutive next to Franz’ super yacht. Because when it comes to boats, I am reliably told, size does matter. And since money, despite popular belief, doesn’t grow on trees (albeit being made of pulp, so it kind of does) there is the bitter pill of upkeep, mooring, petrol and taxes to keep you afloat. Although taxes are taboo in this column, I shall make an exception since the controversial matriculation tax has left many charters high and dry - or more to the point - en route to other countries, where they are welcome with open arms. Seems counter-intuitive as a way of increasing revenue in the long run, but then I am not a politician.

ULRICA MARSHALL ulrica @euroweeklynews.com
The boat conundrum: to buy or not to buy, but the problem is, what if the boat in the berth next door is bigger than yours? So, can you actually afford the lovely little Sunseeker that has caught your nautical eye? A ‘bargain’ second hand, 12-year old, 14-metre, will set you back some 170,000 euros, add a grand for the day skipper course, assuming you actually want to take it out of the port, and about 350,000 euros for a suitable mooring in, say Puerto Banus. Plus roughly 10 per cent annual upkeep costs and possible 12 per cent matriculation. You do the math, as my head is spinning. And I don’t need to tell you what the
costs are for Franz’ shiny new super yacht - if you need to ask, you can’t afford it. If you are still tempted,
consider first the comments of bonafide boat owners: “The happiest days in my life was when we bought it… and the day we
sold it.” Chances of selling are pretty slim, though. More likely, you will be tempted into trading up for a bigger better model to rival Franz, in order to rid yourself of your first purchase. This will no doubt be a pleasurable experience for you, but may upset the kids whose college fund is evaporating like ocean mist in the midday sun. The whole boat business is oft likened to “tearing up 50 euronotes in the shower”. And, “if it flies, floats or fornicates, then rent it,” as the adage goes. Still, there are many reasons why you should take the proverbial plunge: Tell the children that it’s a ski holiday (Spend the Kids’ Inheritance) you earned it, so you keep it. Secondly, it is a highly altruistic way of supporting the Spanish economy and the faltering yachting industry - it has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that you like to hang out on deck, knocking back the cava in a suitably swish port. And last but far from least, you are merely preparing for a watery apocalypse once the icebergs melt, by investing in your own Ark. Then who will be laughing? So, what’s it going to be - yacht or not? Feel free to write to me on ulrica@euroweeklynews.com with your boating experiences.

Driving through difficult times T
HE motor industry continues to battle stoically through difficult times. It has taken a hit since the economic woes first spelt out difficult times in Spain, for when budgets are hard hit, buying a new family car is never likely to be top of the priority list.
But with so many people depending on cars for business and pleasure, keen interest continues to exist. And garages selling both the latest new models, as well as those handling second-hand vehicles, battle on in the knowledge that for a great number of families, a car is an absolute must.
TWISTS AND TURNS: Mountainous terrain, but the motor industry remains positive and exciting. An added bonus is that global car manufacturers are certainly not disappointing with the products they are producing. Continually new models with ever more sophisticated safety and engineering developments - tempt even the most prudent to consider
splashing out, whether in the price range of bargain basement buys, or at the topof-the-range end of purchases. There is also increasing awareness - both by buyers and manufacturers alike about the need for more environmentally friendly vehicles and increased fuel
Ferrari sold for almost €9m A FERRARI recently has sold for an amazing $11 million (€8.94m). The price for the 1960 California 250 LWB Spider Competizione was paid by a collector who remained anonymous at an auction in America last month. Just nine models of the car were ever built, with each aimed for competition. The car was added to the
Sherman M. Wolf collection in 1979, meaning that the latest buyer is the third owner of the 52year-old car. At the same auction other rare Ferraris from the same collection went under the hammer including a 1985 288 GTO, sold for $1 million (€813,000) and a 340 MM Spider, sold for almost $4.5 million (€3.56m) .
consumption. With diesel and petrol prices remaining high - going ever higher following the 3 per cent increase in VAT at the start of this month - motorists are constantly looking at ways of cutting back on their monthly fuel bills. One obvious solution is to consider buying vehicles that are more economic, as many of the latest models available are. And in the second hand market, many choose models that keep consumption down. Despite the harder times, motoring remains an allembracing lifetime love for many, as well as a near necessity in modern family life.
A true love for motorcycling and Spain is really ideal MY first love in life has been motorcycling, with Spain ideal with its fast winding roads and beautiful scenery, plus of course minimum snow and ice in the south. But modern motorcycles are far too fast for the roads and for many of the younger riders who speed along them... with the concrete and steel barriers waiting to do serious harm in
the event of a spill. My body will not stand up to much arguing with the asphalt now, so I have resisted buying another big bike. But if anyone is interested in forming a local classic motorcycle club, please contact me, as I could easily be tempted and you can still buy new classic Indianmade motorcycles, including the originally British-made Royal Enfield in
250cc and 500 cc forms. The thought of driving out in convoy to eat and drink in cars is tempting. When I was young we usually passed the now classic cars while riding our now classic bikes on the way to the UK coast or a sports venue on hot days. The cars would be parked while waiting for the steam to stop spewing from their engines caused by massive traffic-jams.
At least we do not have to live with such problems now. Living in Spain there are so many interesting day trips into the hinterland where the scenery is magnificent and with the added bonus of ancient buildings and white pueblos to explore, plus nice people to meet. Brian Deller, Malaga 951 276 568

Facing up to danger on the road to sleepy white pueblo
A
S I slowed to go through a small pueblo with a 70-kph speed limit the Frenchregistered black Mercedes E320 sped to overtake at about 110 kph... well over the double-white lines. I blew my horn and slowed even more as up ahead was a sharp right curve obscured by buildings close to the road and I was worried that if there was a head-on collision we would be unable to avoid being involved. This is one of the dangers of driving here in Spain, though it is probably the same everywhere now.Why did the fool-driver do such a stupid act? Probably because he had been following my wife for about eight kilometres over the twisty mountain road between Tarifa and Algeciras with a continuous double white line in the middle plus white lines and steel barriers at each side with no room for vehicles to stop without blocking the road. The French driver while following us had continuously ignored my wife’s signals to leave
DANGER AHEAD: Speed on the roads kills. a gap between his car and our rear end and as I could not safely let him pass because of the blind bends, I decided to leave him behind. This I find quite easy with most modern road users lacking the experience of many older drivers. In my case this includes when younger, successfully riding and racing big motorcycles for more than 40 years, mainly in club events.So without crossing any white lines I drove, without tyre squeal, taking the correct, quickest lines through the corners, while the French car tried to keep up often on the opposite side of the road and at times
falling way. Then finally on reaching the pueblo he stupidly and dangerously overtook us and my mop of white hair (I am 74 now).What has this to do with driving in Spain? Well after 11 years here, I find it common to have such drivers on the roads, and that is probably why the death rates are so high. According to Trafico, speed is the major cause of accidents involving death though overall deaths and accidents are gradually decreasing, in part perhaps to the ever-increasing cost of motoring. Having lived in South Africa until 1999 and having not driven in the UK for 34 years I cannot
compare driving here with Britain. But I enjoy driving here, as in retirement we are able to visit many interesting places. However sadly many expats here do not bother to find out about the laws that affect all owners and drivers, and consequently end up in trouble with the law, especially those who do not bother to reregister their UK vehicles onto Spanish plates.The local police have been active in our area Malaga - and some vehicles are being seized and even scrapped. Expats doing the right thing within a couple of months of arrival will find their vehicles treated as a personal belonging with no import duties to pay, but leave it longer and there are taxes to pay based on 4 per cent of the tax man’s (Agencia Tributaria) list of vehicle valuations. This is according to the model and year of manufacture.Equally, exhaustpolluting vehicles are frowned upon and may suffer difficulties during the import process, so older diesels and smoking classics need to be rebuilt before trying to legalise them in Spain.

Medical needs always start healthy debates By Brian Deller A FREQUENT topic of conversation among resident expatriate drivers in Spain is the need for medicals for those using UK driving licences. It should be noted that it is possible to use a current UK licence (not a provisional though) for the same classifications as in the EU country of origin. To not have taken the medical, drivers risk being fined for not having a proper certificate if stopped by a police officer who knows the law, or after an accident where the lawyer of the other person involved will know the law. A Dutch expat was fined for not having an official medical certificate when stopped in a traffic road-block. This law is the same throughout the EU. Notification has been published by Trafico

Light-weight Range Rover shows value of its DNA AN all-new Range Rover has been launched in London. Sales are scheduled to start before the end of the year with prices in Britain starting from £71,295 (€89,118). Available in both petrol and diesel, it is the world’s first SUV with a lightweight all-aluminium monocoque body structure. The 420kg weight saving over the outgoing model delivers improved fuel economy and CO2 emissions, plus the makers claim an unrivalled breadth of capability with transformed handling and agility. Launched this month, the fourth generation of the iconic Range Rover line was revealed to the world via a dramatic event at The Royal Ballet School in Richmond. The new models follow on from the innovative spirit of the original design from 40 years ago. But the 2012

The allnew Range Rover features a revolutionary all-aluminium monocoque body structure which is 39 per cent lighter than the steel body in the outgoing model. The lightweight structure contributes to a model-for-
model weight saving of up to 350kg compared to the outgoing vehicle. This helps the V8 Supercharged model accelerate from 0—60mph in 5.1 seconds. At the same time, fuel consumption is cut by 9 per cent. The lighter structure has also made it possible to introduce the 3.0-litre TDV6 engine into the model line that achieves 37.7mpg (7.5 lit/100km) and 196g/km C02 emissions. The new Range Rover’s environmental credentials will be further enhanced by the introduction of a stateof-the-art high-efficiency diesel hybrid model later in 2013.

He bought and sold an average of 2,000 cars each year using his skill and expertise to select only the best vehicles for our three showrooms. It is with all of this experience that over the last 26 years here in Spain we have built up a great reputation supplying the best quality used cars here in the south of Spain. We sell genuine quality Spanish registered cars all with correct documentation. Our cars although Spanish registered are mostly low kilometres. Pre-owned by ex-pats who have serviced and looked after them and can supply service history. Other car dealers have tried to copy us over the years and still do, but we started long before them and have the experience and an excellent reputation. We only carry a small stock of around 10 cars but these are all finely selected. If you are look for a quality used car have a look on our web page www.robertsoncars-spain.com.

Foreign plates can spell trouble for drivers ARE you still, as a resident, using a UK registered vehicle in Spain? If so, having believed the barroom chats where amateur lawyers advise it is not necessary to re-register the vehicle in Spain, do not be shocked if when your vehicle is impounded you can only

only in the UK, not even in Gibraltar. It is a giveaway to a policeman on the road when drivers do not have all the necessary documents including a current receipt on the windscreen for the Annual Road Fund tax. Some on the roads are even two plus years out of date. Next year it is planned that all authorities will have free internet access to the databases of other EU motoring details, meaning roadside checks by the police using a PDA and the mobile phone networks. Motorists in Spain with British registered vehicles - even after a few years - will still be included on the UK databases as the DVLA rule is that if no MOTs or any taxes are unpaid it is then marked as ‘exported’.

How to cut some of those ever-rising motoring costs By Brian Deller RECOMMENDED oils in diesel cars equipped with diesel particulate filters (DPF) have recently soared in price when supplied by some dealers. One reader was charged nearly €90 just for the oil for his Nissan Navarra pick-up truck service, and in many cases this can soar further when the agents add IVA, now 21 per cent on the total invoice. DPFs are the boxes in the exhaust system with a ceramic block to catch the toxic particles of diesel residue. If the engine is correctly serviced and set up, the matter is minimal but now any vehicle emitting smoke on the road is breaking the law and it is almost certain to involve being stopped by the police. There is really no excuse for even old classic vehicles to smoke now. It means that the engine and set up is faulty and the fumes and smoke are unfair to other road users, including pedestrians. As I discovered when we had our 2011 Ford Focus serviced by the agency, the charge for the oil, some five, seven litres, was €56 + IVA (18 per cent at the time) which totalled €66.08. For us all with the ever-increasing costs of running a vehicle, this doubling of the oil cost is not welcome at all, so I checked to see SINCE the crisis hit Andalucia, many businesses have closed down. The car business has been hit as well, but the most reliable businesses did survive. In fact at Best Coches, every year is a better year with a regular increase of 20 per cent in sales since 2006.

Dream on! Just €187,500 for the newest Aston Martin V12 NOT many have £150,000 (€187,500) to splash out on a new car. But dream on, and lets lift the lid for a few moments on Aston Martin’s extreme new sports car. Now available as a limited edition in selected markets worldwide, the new V12 Vantage
Roadster has just become the most potent example of the open-top range, according to its manufacturers. The six-litre engine, mated as in the Coupe to a six-speed manual gearbox, generates high levels of power and torque yet delivers a flexible, refined driving experience. The 0-62 mph sprint takes just 4.5 seconds and the potent Aston Martin Roadster is capable of 190 mph. With a redesigned rear boot lid and lower front air intake, carbon fibre mirror caps and carbon fibre rear lamp infills – plus the new forged alloy wheel design – leave the sports car cognoscenti in
no doubt this is a truly exclusive Aston Martin. Inside, other distinguishing features make the new car stand out from its illustrious siblings and unique to the V12 Vantage and new V12 Vantage Roadster is the engine’s ‘Sport’ mode button, which enables selection between two different powertrain modes. And buyers will be in good company, for heir to the British throne Prince Charles owns an older version of the latest Aston Martin, lending it to Prince William and his bride Kate when they left for their honeymoon, watched by millions last year on television around the world.
HAS a passion for motoring... and concern his clients get what they deserve. Proud proprietor of Caja de Cambios Automaticas in Alhaurin, he stresses when working with vehicles there is a need for passion and zest. A clear example is that last year he spent €3,000 on anti-freeze alone for cooling systems. “Just imagine you live in Siberia,” he says.“Please put antifreeze - available at petrol stations throughout Spain - in cooling systems.” He is concerned that many classic car owners are very laid back. But Dodd is focussed, knowledgeable and worth doing business with.

The perfect white teeth for a healthy, happy looking smile S
TAINED, discoloured teeth are just not an option for a healthy, happy looking smile. When one speaks, teeth are the first thing people notice. Not only that, but if when teeth are discoloured, it makes one look older. Having cleaner, whiter teeth, on the other hand, is a huge confidence booster. When one feels better with oneself, they will look better to others. To get a clean, bright smile, contact Lynda Martin-Campbell, who of course has sparkling white teeth herself. She carries out the treatment in a relaxed, friendly environment, using
top-of-the-range equipment. A dental dam is applied to protect soft tissue and prevent soreness, and using the latest, leading products, the treatment is applied in three stages, with power laser used to activate the products, and taking just one hour.
Features » The Perfect White Teeth » Specialist technicians » Treatment in under one hour » Light activated – Cold Blue Light Power Laser treatment » Immediate effect » No side effects, non abrasive » None sensitising, totally painless » Kills bacteria that cause gum disease » Clean and fresh breath Cosmetic treatments are also available.
Lynda Martin-Campbel.
Plus, research has shown that the treatment and frequency of laser light used actually kills bacteria that causes destructive gum disease. There is no need to worry about anything, just lie back and relax and listen to soft music while the ‘perfectwhiteteeth’ treatment not only returns teeth to their natural white, but also improves ones oral health, giving a cleaner smile and fresher breath. The effect is immediate, there is no ongoing treatment. It lasts between 18 months and five years, and there is no damage to teeth or enamel. Treatment is carried out in the lovely surroundings of the Wellness Centre at The Tamisa Hotel, km3.3, Mijas Costa.
Phone Lynda for an appointment on 608 675 081. Leave in one hour with the teeth you have always wanted. Also available, Aesthetic Medicine, botox, fillers, lip enhancement, spider vein removal from face and legs. You can learn more on the website www.theperfectwhiteteeth.com

Dogs ‘grubby bags of fur’ A TELEVISION pundit notoriously described dogs as ‘grubby bags of fur filled to the brim with germs.’ Oh, didn’t the fur fly after that remark. Such is the passion of dog-owners for their animals; sorry, pets, they lose all sense of reality. I advise friends that if they ever find themselves up before the beak, when given the opportunity to come clean, prepare along the following lines: ‘Your honour, the jury; I am truly repentant of my sin and deserving of my fate, which I accept. Less deserving is my beloved dog, Bruce. He was a woofie-waif I gave sanctuary to. If I am hanged then my poor dog’s fate is sealed.’ If dog owners are sat among those 12 men ‘wise and true’ I guarantee you will avoid the expected suspended sentence; be acquitted and possibly get a fiver from the public purse. Costa Blanca’s Torrevieja salt lagoons are a protected and natural ecological reserve of international standing. As soon as their gentle lapping wavelets reach its briny banks they come face to face with ecological disaster; the multiple droppings of

MAN’S BEST FRIEND: But not if leaving public pathways fouled with droppings. man’s best friend. Some public pathways are so badly affected you need to hopscotch your way along to avoid fouling your feet. The problem is blatant; dog owners don’t even tug the creatures to the pathway’s edge. I often wonder at their reaction should I follow them home and deposit my calling card on their driveway. I think we can imagine the screaming hysteria. I am told that the worst offenders are Spanish, but dog deposits are loathsome whatever the nationality of their two-legged patron saint. Such is the sanctimonious selfrighteousness of many dog owners
they bring a blush to the cheeks of oxworshipping Hindus. I have no doubt that as a result of my criticism I will be subject to venom normally reserved for paedophiles; publish and be damned. Fine; all I ask is that no one describes me as a dog-hater. On the contrary, it is irresponsible pathway fouling owners for whom I reserve my contempt. Responsible dog owners are their victims too. Apart from the obvious unpleasantness, children die and many suffer illness; blindness as a consequence of dog fouling and flies attracted to their droppings.
Real dogs as averse to indulged dogs truly are man’s best friend. On my family’s farm lived and worked six beautiful collies. Without man’s help they roamed the glens and brought the sheep home. I went to a school situated a mile from where television’s ‘One Man and His Dog’ was filmed. My school mate’s farm dogs in escort fashion took the bull to the field. Wonderful creatures and their owners were proud of the rosettes that covered the barn walls. I often wonder if our local irresponsible dog owners are as proud of the ‘rosettes’ their lapdogs leave for us to see.

Time Out The truth about the Mull of Kintyre
NEW ON DVD Snow White and the Huntsman IN this epic actionadventure, Kristen Stewart plays Snow White, the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin joins the cast as the prince long enchanted by Snow White’s beauty and power. Drama, fantasy 2h7m Directed by: Rupert Sanders Starring: Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth.
BOOKS On Thursday June 2, 1994, Det. Superintendent Ian Phoenix, head of a Specialist Surveillance Unit in the Northern Ireland’s Royal Ulster Constabulary, travelled to RAF Aldergrove (near Belfast) with 28 other security experts to fly by Chinook for a secret meeting in Scotland. Shockingly, the Chinook crashed over the Mull of Kintyre killing all passengers outright, pilot error stated as the reason. Ian’s

experts Dr Phoenix exposes the miscarriage of justice that led to the unnecessary suffering. The new chapter turns a best-selling book into an expose, outlining the link between economic waste, poor leadership and most worryingly suggests that many people died in other airworthiness related accidents, resulting from the government’s lack of honesty and integrity concerning military safety.

There is a wonderful enthusiasm about you at the moment. Seeing the reaction of others to you, it occurs that you should have taken this attitude before. Therefore, make a resolution to put more energy into everything that you do.
Being totally inspired this week, you could be tempted to let enthusiasm run away with you. It is a lovely feeling, like being a child again. Be sure to have fun, but do keep as much money in your pocket as possible.
You are so sharp that there is a danger you will cut yourself! Seriously, though, try not to appear pompous over a certain matter. You may be right and you may be clever, but smarty pants are rarely popular. Some of that sharpness gets things going for you in the love department, though.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23)
There will be a certain amount of discussion regarding holiday plans. You know what you want but how do you persuade others? It's quite easy really. All you have to do is to get someone else to suggest a certain place. You then agree and it looks like their idea.
With everyone busy round you, the chance may be taken to show what you are capable of. Instead of watching someone make a pig's ear of a work project, offer to help. It's important, though, to let them think any bright ideas were theirs. Giving praise now will mean it coming back to you ten-fold. Be aware that a close friend is in a delicate frame of mind.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Something new which you started in recent weeks becomes more than a passing interest. Although it may be surprising to you, it is owing to a predictable situation. In opening your mind, you also seem to have opened your heart. Many people do that at this time of the year and so you are not alone.

A business partnership takes on a romantic tinge this week. It is possible that the other party sees this as more significant than you. To avoid problems later it would be best to let them do all the running. Unless, of course, you are determined to run yourself. With a lot of excitement in the air it is possible for you to show just what fun you can be. Enjoy!

A last-minute invitation turns out to be just the ticket in more ways than one. An invitation to join a holiday may be proffered. This is unusual, certainly, but keep an open mind. Your company is clearly well appreciated so why not make that a point of pride? Let's face it, who is best equipped to blow your trumpet?

Some legal matters need your attention. That's not really what you want at this time of the year. A decision has to be made and it needs a fine balance. Asking others may just confuse matters, so only seek expert advice. At the end of the day, you will know what is both best and acceptable. An attempt to bring romance into your life may be more successful than you think.

Health risk in too long daily working hours W
ORKING more than eight hours a day can lead to a greater chance of developing heart disease. A study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, shows that working longer hours can lead to a combination of stress, raised blood pressure and unhealthy diets, causing serious health problems to workers. Research was carried out over the last 50 years and concluded that spending too long in the office resulted in a 40 to 80 per cent increase in developing heart disease compared to an eight hour work day.
Don’t spend too many hours in the office.
The latest findings support results from a British survey last year that revealed that working more
than 11 hours a day raised the risk of heart disease by 67 per cent. Twenty two thousand
people took part in the study from Britain, USA, Japan, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and the Netherlands.
Eat less red meat for healthy body and environment EATING less red meat would help reduce the risk of heart disease and bowl cancer. As food and drink amounts to a third of greenhouse gas emissions from British consumers, reducing red and processed meat consumption would also substantially lower the UK’s carbon footprint. Previously published evidence shows that the risks of coronary heart disease rises by 42 per cent, type 2 diabetes rises by 19 per cent and bowel cancer rises by 18 per cent, with every additional 50 grammes of red and processed meat that is eaten daily. It is therefore recommended that men should eat around 53g a day whilst a woman’s daily diet should have just 30g. Researchers say this would reduce the risk of coronary artery disease, diabetes, and bowel cancer by between 3 and 12 per cent and also help the Reduced consumption environment. of red meat is beneficial.

Oral spray claims to kill germs AN oral spray that claims to ‘kill 99.9 per cent of infectious airbourne germs’ has been created. The Halo Oral Antiseptic protects from any germs breathed in for six hours, its manufacturer claims. “Respiratory tract disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world, yet there has been limited progress in the prevention of respiratory virus infections,” said lead study author Dr Frank Esper from the University Hospitals Case Medical Centre in Cleveland, Ohio (US). “Halo is unique in that it offers protection from airbourne germs such as influenza and rhinovirus.”

A method to reduce lung cancer deaths explained RADIOLOGY specialists explain “this exploration that reconstructs in a three dimensional way the studied organ, allows to detect small pathologies at a very premature stage and, therefore are, potentially curable”. Lung cancer is the most frequent in the western world and the one that has a worse outcome if it is not detected prematurely, besides being a trigger factor of many other tumours. The majority of them are caused by the consumption of tobacco. To have an early diagnosis, the doctors recommend an annual exploration with a low dose of radiation with TAC-MSCT – Multislice Computerised Tomography – to smokers and exsmokers as from 50 years old, due to the fact that mortality avoided by this method of control is bigger than 20 per cent, according to the published studies. The specialists explain that “the Multislice TAC allows the threedimensional reconstruction of the
TECHNOLOGY: Low radiation doses are used. studied organ, generating images detailed in high resolution that
allow to detect millimetric pulmonary injuries in a rapid and
precise way”. This technology uses a system of low radiation that adjusts the radiation dose to the minimum possible level to obtain the diagnostic images, equivalent approximately to the radiation that a person receives in a transoceanic trip by plane. This procedure can improve in a significant way the possibility of detecting small lung pathologies at a very premature stage and, therefore, potentially curable. “In the same exploration we can detect the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD), belonging to smokers of long duration”, the radiologists confirm. In order to carry out any curative treatment for lung cancer, it is necessary that the tumour be localised, in other words, that it has not spread to lymphatic ganglions or to other organs. With this test and implanting official programmes of early detection of the lung cancer, as it exists for breast, prostate and colon cancers, it could save many lives.

DISC is the cushion between the bones in your spine, a cartilage pad with a jelly like centre. This disc has three main jobs: • To create a space between the bones of your spine • As a shock absorber from movement • And to allow movement of the spine; tilting, bending and twisting. Whilst technically a disc cannot ‘slip’, this is the term often used when the jelly centre of the disc is compromised and starts to affect the cartilage rings that surround it. At its most extreme, the jelly breaks through all the cartilage rings and ‘slips’ or leaks out. However, it is more common that the jelly becomes distorted rather then rupturing completely and applies www.thebodyworksclinic.com pressure to the cartilage rings and to the nerves around it. Slipped or herniated discs are usually caused by sudden extreme changes in activity: for instance lifting heavy objects or they can be caused by prolonged and unbalanced pressure on the spine caused by poor posture. When such an event happens, BACK MUSCLES: Are for movement, not stability. your back muscles lock up to try and prevent movement.

Give your hair a home made hair mask treat By Beth Underhill A HAIR MASK is a common treatment in spas around the world, used not only on sun scorched hair but on colour treated hair and hair that is constantly being damaged due to heated appliances. Frizzy hair too can be a problem in the hot humid weather but why pay expensive prices for keeping your tresses looking good. Pamper yourself with some of the following homemade remedies. The process of making your own hair mask is fairly simple, although you’ll probably want to save the treatment for a time when you plan to spend the entire evening at home, no better reason for having a little ‘get together’ with the girlies. Some of the ingredients used in do-it-yourself hair masks contain olive oil which can have a distinctive smell and is hard to remove all excess traces. In some cases applying a mild shampoo to the hair before applying water will help to remove excess oil and any unwanted odours. Regardless of what type of hair mask you choose to create, most masks are only

They are intended to help repair your hair, not simply maintain your style. Using a hair mask too often may create additional problems, such as excess oiliness from overuse of a moisturising mask. Fast Track Mask For a dry scalp and hair, warm up some extra virgin olive oil over a pot of water, apply to your hair, massage into your scalp, wrap your hair up and leave for 30 minutes. Crème de la crème Mix together in equal
amounts almond oil, melted honey and crème fraiche, apply to your hair and leave for half an hour. Restructuring mask Mash ½ an avocado, ½ of a banana, add an egg yolk and one teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil. Blend all ingredients and apply to pre-washed hair. Massage into the scalp, cover and leave for up to an hour. Used once a week will help protect and restructure your hair. Protein conditioning mask Use on all hair types. Put
Debt and mental health and anxiety problems PEOPLE in debt are twice as likely to have mental health problems or suffer with severe anxiety. In parts of Britain where bankruptcy and repossession are more common, the impact of debt on people’s health is less severe as it becomes part of the ‘social
norm’, research by Dr John Gathergood, University of Nottingham (UK) found. “My research clearly shows problem debt causes worse mental health - but where people live also makes a big difference,” he said.
½ of a banana, ¼ of cantaloupe, ¼ of avocado, one tablespoon of yogurt and one tablespoon of wheat germ oil in a blender. Massage the mixture into the scalp, cover and leave for at least 15 minutes. Egg-centric hair mask For very dry hair, mix together two whole eggs with four tablespoons of olive oil. Apply the mixture mid lengths and ends and then to the root area, cover with a plastic wrap. Wait for 10 – 15 minutes and shampoo as usual. Banana banquet For damaged hair, combine a very ripe banana with a few drops of almond oil. Apply throughout the hair, cover and leave for approximately 15 minutes. Rinse with soda water and shampoo as normal. Curly Sue Mix a tablespoon of honey with one litre of clean water and rinse the hair after using your normal shampoo to keep frizziness under control.

The event will take place on Thursday October 4. Motown music will be the backdrop to the event, performed by Mr Maph and Simone. The Children’s Chorus Gospel Choir will also be making an appearance, delighting with their angelic voices. Guests will be treated to a sumptuous five-course meal prepared by The Polo House chefs. The €90 tickets include drinks – including Champagne provided by Tattinger – as well as a raffle ticket. For those who wish to increase their chance of winning one of the amazing prizes that have been donated, additional tickets cost €10. These include a non-invasive laser facelift from Q-max Marbella, a voucher from adventure sports company Experience Box Spain, and a gym card from Princess Studios, among others. “We are still looking for more sponsors to donate great prizes,” said Tina Sanchez, General Manager of The Metro restaurant in Puerto Banus, who is organising the event together with Monica Urraci, General Manager of The Polo House. “All sponsors will appear in the adverts The Polo House will be creating for the event.” This gala was the brainchild of Sunil, son of the owner of The Metro Group, which co-owns The Polo House.

“Sunil approached me with the idea of hosting a charity gala dinner at The Polo House as he knows I am involved with various charities,” said Tina. “He gave me the choice of which charity to support. “I believe in what the orphanage does, not only for the orphans but for those children in the poor neighbourhoods of Malaga.” ‘La Cuidad de los Niños’ is run by brothers from the Catholic religious order ‘Hermanos Obreros de Maria’ and is approved and monitored by the Andalucía Regional Government. More than 50 children aged between two and 18 live there. “The home also provides a safe
haven for food, clothing, warmth and schooling for more than 100 children brought into the home on a daily basis from the nearby poor areas. As the home only gets help from the government for the 50 children living there, this is why they need our help,” said Tina. The money will also be used to buy items that the orphanage needs, including those extra items that help make these children’s lives happier. “I call them up to see what they need. In the past we have bought food, books, a trampoline, among other things,” said Tina.

Great food and service with a smile at Korma
By Bryan Rand KORMA is a new Indian restaurant which opened its doors in Riviera del Sol recently and has been gaining popularity for its authentic Indian dishes. The kitchen is under the guidance of one of the best Indian chefs who has many years experience in some of the top Indian restaurants. He produces all of the well known Indian dishes in a truly authentic form and in addition has prepared a menu with some speciality dishes. The full menu of Korma is very extensive and all the dishes have been priced reasonably like the lamb balti. Balti comes from the Indian word for iron bucket, which is the way the food was served to the troops in India. Service is better at the Korma where the staff is friendly and it is obvious they care that you enjoy your time with them.
The large open terrace. The restaurant is decorated in an open modern style with a large open terrace with beautiful views over the sea and has ample seating inside and on the terrace.

Anti-aging gardens where fresh is best R
EADERS of our columns will know that we take a holistic approach to the development of our garden and delight in the growing and eating our own artisan produce. However, we are not only interested in eating gastronomically, but also healthily. Over the years we have made a note of what a wide range of health experts say about the impact on our aging of what we eat and drink. Glancing through our summary it’s very obvious the only way one is going to eat the best anti-aging foods on a regular basis is by growing your own since one of the provisos is that the fruit and vegetables should be eaten fresh and when at their best. Fresh described as within a day of harvest to ensure that the beneficial antiaging agents are at their maximum in what you eat and at their best being when most flavoursome and digestible especially in the case of fruit and fruit vegetables. There is no comparison between going out into the

garden and eating a fully ripe juicy peach, apricot or pear directly off the tree compared to a fruit picked long before ripe in order that it can withstand the battering of being crated, pre-packed, transported and displayed for several days and still not be ripe.

BROCCOLI: One vegetable that is especially good for us. they are of maximum size to increase the harvests and income of the grower. Our books ‘Growing Healthy Fruit in Spain’ and ‘Growing Healthy Vegetables in Spain’ describe how to grow over 70 tropical, sub-tropical and temperate fruits and over a 100 vegetables.

vegetable to eat by including it chopped up in salads, mashed with ripe tomatoes on unsweetened bread, steamed or baked as a vegetable or included in cooked dishes. You can plant up garlic between October and December and harvest it for use in salads and omelettes. Dark green leaf vegetables such as broccoli, acelga, spinach, red lettuces and rocket are also said to be especially good for us. Unfortunately one cannot grow brazil nuts on the costas – as far as we know – but almonds and walnuts contain essential oils plus, of course, olives which can be cold pressed to produce your own virgin olive oil if you have sufficient trees and kilos of olives. Other easy to grow healthy vegetables include carrots, fennel, parsley, basil, beetroot and onions . And when weeding the garden, dandelion and wild chicory leaves are excellent vegetables in their own right . The books mentioned above as well as ‘Your Garden in Spain’ are full of useful tips.

A GREAT BUSINESS: Forming part of the team in Spain from the Benissa office is (from left) Laura, Cristina, Sandra, Amparo and Lili.
Focus on VillaSpain
Advertising Feature
VillaSpain specialises in holiday villa rentals that are located in Javea, Moraira, Calpe, Denia and their surrounding areas, served from its offices in Benissa, and from Brighton in the UK since 1994. VillaSpain prides itself on its transparent platform for villa owners. An owner can view occupancy, duration period, party number, rental rates charged out, including surcharges and even fuel meter charges made, which all forms part of the full financial reporting as well as visitor statistics to an owner in real-time on an owner’s login. Should there be a cancellation then the owner is secure in the knowledge that rental
income is credited to the owner’s account, in accordance with the terms of booking. In fact, a transparent system, with a pooled linen service for owners and holidaymakers, and a great service on the ground allows an owner to have absolute piece of mind. Each villa owner gets on average over 60 visitors per day per villa listing, which is a result of investment and effort made with the website over many years, and its continuous marketing programme that has resulted in VillaSpain.co.uk being able to achieve the highest Google ranking and links of all Costa Blanca rental agents. There are no listing or
set-up fees either. The holidaymaker experiences a platform that delivers live search results in several easy formats, virtual tours, full villa description, grading, refined search on preferences, registration of villas of interest for automated alerts, substantial local content information, seven day back-up support on the ground in Spain and in the UK, as well as cost free security from credit card acceptance. A holidaymaker does not get any irritating charges for final clean, damage charges that have not yet occurred, booking fees, credit card charge or late arrival fees. Bruce Gibson’s
background was in the wine trade in the UK, having owned his own wine import, restaurant and HMCE Bonded warehouses in London, so learned a few skills about service and its delivery to clients. “A business is only as good as its people and we are very proud and fortunate to have an excellent Spanish team who enjoy working with owners and who are all dedicated to the same quality of service, regardless of any issue that arises and without fuss. “Together with a great team on the villa website and admin back in the UK it is service not dissimilar from those heady days in the wine trade.”

Buying or Selling NEW PROPERTY: It is essential that you are granted a Licencia de Primera Ocupacion before full payment.
New builds and First Occupation Licences IF you are buying a new build property in Spain it is essential that you check that your intended property has been granted a Licencia de Primera Ocupación (sometimes referred to as a Certificado de Habitacion or ‘Cedula’) before you pay fully for your new property. A Licencia de Primera Ocupación is an extremely important document and is granted by the local town hall planning department on completion of a new build and declares the legality of the property. Also, it acts (in theory) as confirmation that the property meets all necessary local and national planning regulations. If your property, when completed, does not have a Licencia de Primera Ocupación then alarm bells should ring, as there may be something fundamentally wrong with your property and it may not have been built legally! Certainly you should know that the seller of a new property is under a duty to obtain a Licencia de Primera Ocupación and failure to supply it constitutes a breach of contract on the part of the seller. Indeed: • You are not obliged to sign the Escritura until the Licencia de Primera Ocupación is presented, and
Nick Snelling Nick Snelling is the author of five books including ‘How to Buy Spanish property and Move to Spain – Safely!’ and runs the information site Culture Spain
• Your seller cannot cancel your contract to purchase on the grounds that you refuse to sign the Escritura without a Licencia de Primera Ocupación. However, if your property does not have a Licencia de Primera Ocupación upon completion of the building works, you can cancel the contract and claim a refund of your purchase money with interest and related damages, irrespective of whether or not you have signed an Escritura. Obviously, it is best not to occupy (let alone fully pay for) your new property until everything is finalised and you have a Licencia de Primera Ocupación. However, some people knowingly take the risk of buying a property on the basis that ‘everything will turn out all right in the end’. This is very unwise. One sign that your property may not have a Licencia de Primera Ocupación is when it is not connected to mains utilities (water, electrics and telephone). This is
known sometimes as being on ‘builder’s electrics and water’ – which is an accurate phrase! Indeed, your property’s services may be connected directly to your builder rather than the services suppliers. This is usually obvious, but can be proven by the fact that you will not receive, or be able to obtain, any formal services bills. So, if your new property lacks a mains supply of electricity and water and a landline telephone, take this as a potential sign of illegality. At best, it may indicate there are delays with regard to legalisation or final completion of your project. Being ‘on builder’s electrics and water’ used to be laughed off and was tolerated by many buyers of new builds, who were frequently told this was ‘quite normal’ and would be ‘sorted out soon’. However, some found out later, to their great cost, that the underlying reason for this seemingly innocent delay was related to the far more serious and worrying issue of illegality. So, be warned! A Licencia de Primera Ocupación for your new property is essential and if your lawyer or seller is flippant about providing one then be careful and do not sign your Escritura
(or fully pay for your property) until one is obtained! Nick Snelling is the author of five books including ‘How to Buy Spanish property and Move to Spain – Safely!’ and runs the information site Culture Spain.

Professional care is best.
Pet grooming GROOMING is an important part of dog and cat ownership, which should be started as soon as possible. When a dog meets another dog, they always sniff around the anal area. This gives an indication as to the state and type of nature the animal has. The anal gland is an active organ giving out an odour we cannot smell (thank God). This is found mostly in nervous dogs that do not use the gland, hence they need squeezing to take out the liquid. A dominant dog rarely needs the gland squeezed since he is using this most of the time to warn other dogs. This comes under the heading of a dominant type dog: all messages come from the anal gland. Many owners do not like squeezing the anal gland and normally the vet or groomer takes care of this. Only somebody trained to empty them should carry this out. Any dog suffering a problem should be reported directly to a vet. Impacted anal glands are not only very painful but, if left, they can result in a

serious infection which in turn can end up being lifethreatening. If the dog is wormed regularly but he keeps on rubbing his bum along the floor, that is a sign of full anal glands. Breeds that need grooming will benefit from being groomed by a professional groomer who should be fully trained to check anal glands, clean and pluck ears, trim toenails, etc. Problems should be reported to the owner in detail. Breeds that should be groomed include Yorkies, Westies, Poodles, Shiatsus and many more. They need to be kept fur-free to avoid problems in certain areas, including: the pads, around the mouth, eyes, ears and their private areas. And no, it is not normal for dogs to have hair growing from inside their
ears and around their privates. When breeds arrive to a new family and they seem to need grooming, the owner should expect to do so at least every six to eight weeks. However, long-haired wolf-type breeds also benefit greatly from having their under coat stripped out twice a year, especially in hotter countries. A good groomer can give advice about the types of fur trimming and style. This also includes cleaning the ears, trimming the nails and, in some breeds, taking care of the hair in the bottom of the ear. It is not recommended, however, that owners trim pet’s nails. This should be done by a professional to avoid accidents and a lot of blood loss.

All-new Range Rover revealed at the Royal Ballet School, London L
AND ROVER revealed the all-new Range Rover – the fourth generation of its SUV – at the Royal Ballet School in Richmond Park, London. In front of a packed house, it was unveiled and its capabilities demonstrated by driving through a water pool that was almost a metre deep and climbing a rocky causeway before coming to a stop in front of White Lodge, a formal royal residence and home to the Royal Ballet School. The launch culminated in a surprise seven-song performance by long-term Range Rover driver and Dire Straits founder, Mark Knopfler. The all-new Range Rover has been developed from the ground up to provide the ‘ultimate’ luxury SUV. It is the world’s first SUV to have a lightweight all-aluminium body and is 20 per cent lighter than
ULTIMATE LUXURY: The world’s first SUV to have a lightweight all-aluminium body. the outgoing model with a weight saving of 420kg. The lighter body structure has driven a 22 per cent reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, achieving figures of 37.7mpg and 196g/km
respectively. Land Rover also used the event to announce plans for a hybrid Range Rover – the world’s first fully capable SUV. The high-efficiency diesel hybrid model, which is planned for
production late in 2013, will see step changes in Range Rover’s environmental credentials and will target CO2 emissions of less than 169g/km. John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director said
during the evening: “The Range Rover is a British icon and the all-new model revealed this evening has set the benchmark for luxury in SUVs. It is quieter, smoother and lighter than any vehicle in its class.” Edwards continued: “Like the Royal Ballet School, Land Rover is quintessentially British and has been setting world standards in performance and capability for many years. We wanted to launch the all-new Range Rover in the UK and White Lodge was the perfect venue.” The all-new Range Rover is designed, engineered and manufactured in the UK and will be exported to over 170 global markets. Over £370million has been invested in the Solihull manufacturing plant to create an aerospace inspired, aluminium body shop – the largest of its kind in the world.

Citroën C-Elysee: an attractive saloon CITROËN is stepping up its international development and consolidating its global brand status. With the Citroën C-Elysee, it is extending its product range into the C segment, focusing investment on fast-growing international markets like the Mediterranean basin, China and Russia.
The market for compact cars is the largest in the world, accounting for more than 20 million vehicle registrations in 2011 and one-third of global sales of passenger cars. But three-box cars also hold a 43 per cent share of this market in Russia and 79 per cent in China. During the press days at the Paris Motor Show
(September 29 to October 14), Citroën will be displaying this high-class saloon on its stand before a public presentation at the Istanbul show in Turkey, one of its chief markets. Produced at Vigo in Spain, the three-box saloon will be launched end-2012, initially in Turkey, Central Europe or Algeria.

New C-MAX produced in Valencia THE first Ford C-MAX and seven-seat Ford Grand C-MAX models powered by the 1.0litre EcoBoost began rolling off the production line at Ford’s plant in Valencia. Both the 100 PS and 125 PS versions of the 1.0-litre engine-equipped C-MAX and Grand C-MAX achieve fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions. “The 1.0-litre EcoBoost has been a hit with critics and customers alike, so we’re very excited to offer the same combination of fuel efficiency and engine power in the CMAX and the larger Grand CMAX,” said Roelant de Waard, vice president, Marketing, Sales and Service, Ford of Europe. “It’s an industry exclusive to power a sevenseat vehicle with an engine this small and we think it will be a revelation for drivers who want fuel economy without sacrificing driving fun.”

Ford has sold more than 200,000 C-MAX and Grand CMAX cars in Europe since the latest versions were introduced in 2010. The three-cylinder 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine – the 2012 “International Engine of the Year” – combines turbocharging, direct fuel injection and variable valve timing to deliver the power of a larger engine with the fuel efficiency of a smaller engine. The C-MAX 1.0-litre EcoBoost delivers 5.1 l/100 km (55.4 mpg) and 117 g/km CO2 across both power outputs, while the Grand C-MAX achieves 5.2 l/100 km (54.3 mpg) and 119 g/km. Ford of Europe recently announced that the new Ford B-MAX and Fiesta – both coming to market this year – as well as the upcoming new Ford Mondeo and EcoSport will offer the 1.0-litre EcoBoost.

The format of play changed to three bowl pairs over 14 ends for the semi. Malcolm and Wendy beat Mike and Kate in the final who went on to win the the Camero Cup, presented by Derek Shemmings.

LOCAL IDOL: 20-year-old Isco scored two goals for Malaga C.F. against Zenith St. Petersburg.
Malaga and Real Madrid shine on IT was a dream night that Malaga FC supporters will remember for a long time. The team coached by Manuel Pellegrini made a splendid debut in the Champion’s League group phase as they beat Russia’s Zenith St. Petersburg 3-0. Benalmadena-born midfielder Isco Alarcon became the star of the match as he scored twice, the second goal (’76) being especially beautiful as he bent the ball from the penalty area line into the top right-hand corner. “The coach has always shown his confidence in us and we stuck together as a team. That’s the key to this victory,” said the young player after the match.
The other Spanish team that played last Tuesday night, Real Madrid FC, also won after a dramatic match against Manchester City. The Premier League winner seemed to have everything under control but Jose Mourinho’s team managed to come from behind twice, drawing (Benzema, ’87) and finally winning the match with a last-minute winner by Cristiano Ronaldo (‘90+0). While some Spanish papers described Real Madrid’s match as “one of those great European nights”, on the side of Man C’s players it was all bitterness: “We threw it away,” said goalkeeper Joe Hart.

Gunners hit six, Lorenzo wins • FOOTBALL - Three days of European action ends tonight (Thursday) with Liverpool, Newcastle and Tottenham all participating in the Europa League. Earlier this week there were cracking Champions League encounters featuring Real Madrid v Manchester City, Chelsea v
Juventus, Montpellier v Arsenal, Manchester United v Galatasaray and Barcelona v Spartak Moscow. In the Premiership last weekend, Paul Scholes scored on his 700th appearance for Manchester United who whipped Wigan 4-0. This was Sir Alex
Ferguson’s 500th League game in charge of the Reds. Arsenal, aided by two own-goals, thrashed bottom club and pointless Southampton 6-1… Manchester City have still to win a PL game at Stoke (after a 1-1 draw)… Anton Ferdinand (QPR) refused to shake the hands of Chelsea’s John Terry and Ashley Cole… AVB’s Spurs won at last (3-1 at Reading)… and it’s 100 years since Liverpool failed to win any of their opening four League games of a season, following a 1-1 draw at Sunderland. North of the border, Celtic - now fifth in the SPL - lost 2-1 to bottom club St Johnstone. Looking ahead to this Sunday, we have Liverpool v Manchester United, Manchester City v Arsenal and the London derby between Spurs and QPR.
