Named and shamed Drug-fuelled British driver faces murder bid charge By Matt Ford Two Britons who mowed down three people and ploughed into traffic in Marbella while high on alcohol and drugs have been named as a police probe goes on. Liam Anthony O’Neill and Marcus Eric Stewart, both 27, were expected to appear before a judge yesterday (Wednesday) after remaining in custody since the weekend drama unfolded. Specific charges for either men are not yet expected given ongoing police investigations into whether the pedestrians were deliberately targeted.

STEWART: At the Ocean Club. In total 10 people, including the driver, were injured in Sunday’s incident, two seriously. The men, who tested positive for alcohol, cocaine and cannabis, are accused of attempted murder and fleeing the

scene before colliding with a number of other vehicles. Footage has emerged featuring Stewart being marched along by an armed police officer, while another shows him lying on the road near the crash

Elite troops claim dismissed as fake THE UK is NOT sending hundreds of ex-Special Forces troops to the Costa del Sol and other Spanish holiday hotspots this summer. Reports in the UK media this week suggested that SAS-trained guards were being rushed to Spain in order to combat fears over a terror attack on British holidaymakers. They were set to patrol beaches disguised as tourists, and sources were quoted as saying that the country had been “singled out” by Islamic militant groups. However the reaction in Spain suggests this is not the case, after the story failed to be picked up by any Spanish-language media that this

newspaper has seen. No official at any of the local tourist boards we spoke to was able to provide information about the supposed scheme, nor were they aware of it. A local private security firm said: “This is complete nonsense, perhaps one or two serving counter terror operators have been sent as police liaison, but no way has a group of 100 private security been deployed to Spanish soil. “We know of no-one in the industry that has any information on this story, no ex-Special Forces we know have been approached and no private companies have been tasked.”

scene having been told to “shut up” after protesting “I didn’t do anything.” Both have UK police records and one is a Marbella resident. However, it remains unclear who was driving the British-plated black Audi Q7 which was written off in the incident. Investigators say that the Audi had been issued a parking ticket while on a pavement outside the Ocean Club in Puerto Banus, where the men had joined thousands of revellers at the celebrity haunt’s lavish Champagne Party, during which more than 6,000 bottles are sprayed. The vehicle was then parked in an underground park from which it later emerged before leading police on a chase having slammed into pedestrians.

THE Benalmadena headquartered EWN Media Group’s (EWNMG) phenomenal expansion continues. Yesterday (Wednesday) Buzz Newspapers, a Benidorm-based media company formed four years ago on the Costa Blanca and producing two free fortnightly English-language tabloid titles, joined the stable. Michel and Steven Euesden who head EWNMG plan to immediately stamp their mark on the publications - their first exposure to fortnightly rather than weekly newspaper publishing by increasing local coverage and printing more Buzz copies, a formula that has proved a win-win policy for both readers and advertisers throughout the EWNMG empire. “We are really excited by this latest inclusion and the added potential it offers,” Michel said. “While many newspapers s t r u g g l e g l o b a l l y i n t h e e v e rchanging media world, our own EWNMG ethos for hard work to constantly and professionally provide local readers and advertisers with free easily-available and up-to-date local newspapers remains. “ We l o o k f o r w a r d t o f u r t h e r strengthening the service we as a publishing company offer with

Dog days are over for owner A HOMELESS man who deliberately kept his dog suffering so he could beg for more money was arrested by National Police on the Costa del Sol. The Yorkshire Terrier was found in a state of severe malnutrition and had an open wound on his paw, which unfortunately had to be amputated. The 54-year-old Spaniard dragged the poor dog around Malaga hoping to gain sympathy from passersby.

Bad vibrations TOURISTS hoping to have a quiet getaway before the summer season kicks off have been met with trucks and diggers on the beaches.

Postcard from Valls Grilled onions. THE Catalonian city of Valls is famous for its calcots - a type of scallion or green onion - and the tradition of building human towers, known as castells. With a population of 24,285, it is capital of the Alt Camp comarca and lies 69km from Barcelona and 26km from regional capital Tarragona. The feasting on calcots is known as a Calcotada. The large sweet-flavoured green onion is barbecued and dipped into a special sauce. The traditional meal continues with the onion being served with meat and sausages grilled over the same coals, washed down with locally produced wines. Calcots are available December to May and people travel from Barcelona to sample the crop. Grown locally, the vegetable has a protected geographical status in the same way as many wines. Valls is also the birthplace of castells, a tradition of human tower building that has spread across Catalonia. Historically a small tower was made at the end of a traditional dance but because of the rivalry of different groups taking part - known as colles - the constructions became higher and more complicated. The festival of Sant Joan in June is the start of the human tower season and the first Sunday after Santa Ursula’s Day on October 21 in Placa del Blat there is perhaps the most important exhibition of castells. Valls is the birthplace of composer Robert Gerhard, 1896-1970, and visitors can enjoy exploring an old town and its historic churches, chapels and the Call Jueu, the Jewish ghetto near the gothic church of San Joan.

Thoughts with the wounded screeched around a pedestrianised zone, with screaming holidaymakers sprinting to avoid it. The mayhem unfolded on Avenida Lola Flores, with the reports suggesting that the driver became involved in a fight over some girls while partying in the club. The fight spilled outside until the driver went to collect the vehicle before speeding up and down the pedestrianised area in an apparent attempt to hit his rivals, injuring three. At one point a passenger appeared to get out of the vehicle before stumbling away. The driver then sped towards the A-7 having barged aside an unmarked Guardia Civil car, with police in hot pursuit. He performed a U-turn near the Coral Beach Hotel before driving into oncoming traffic. After slamming into four cars he crossed back on to the other lane before colliding with two others, being rammed by police and crashing into a fence, at which point the two men abandoned the vehicle before being arrested nearby. Contrary to some media reports, a 12day-old baby was not hurt, although his mother suffered a broken back and fractured hip and the family’s dog was killed in a head-on smash with the Audi. An official for Ocean Club said on Monday: “We would like to express our deepest disapproval to the unjustified behaviour of the driver that injured several people with his vehicle yesterday evening. “Our thoughts and heart go out with those wounded and their families. Paying respect to those injured, we have cancelled the Champagne Party that was initially scheduled for next Sunday.”

Fun in the sun SOME lost their luggage while jetting in, but being deprived of their clothes failed to dampen the spirits as UK reality TV stars swooped into Marbella. TOWIE’s Amber Turner caused a stir after sharing an Instagram photo of Celebrity Big Brother star Jamie O’Hara with the caption ‘My fwendsss’ during her trip, prompting the ex-Premier League footballer’s fashion model girlfriend Elizabeth-Jayne Tierney to respond ‘Errrrrr no. Remove.’ The Essex siren later left little to the imagination as she showed off her tan in a series of revealing bikinis. Irish model Vogue Williams, 31, put on a leggy display as she attended the launch of La Sala’s new project Mahiki Beach. The winner of Bear Grylls: Mission Survive rocked a black mini dress and nude stilettos stepping out in style. Also attending the event were veteran reality star Callum Best, former TOWIE heartthrob Mark Wright, and Made in Chelsea bombshell Lottie Moss. While Callum, 36, kept a low profile, 30-year-old Mark was seen chatting to a bevy of women during an afternoon DJ set. Meanwhile, 19-year-old Lottie sported a series of skimpy bikinis while puffing on cigarettes and sharing a series of selfies. She had earlier taken to Twitter to complain about British Airways, as she penned: “Just arrived in Marbella and no luggage, such poor service from Gatwick airport.” Former Made In Chelsea star Ashley James was also a victim of the weekend travel chaos, as she shared a titillating snap of herself naked in the bath with friend and fellow DJ Charlotte de Carle.

By Matt Ford TORREMOLINOS PRIDE will go ahead this weekend with the support of local LGBT associations after they resolved their differences with the council. As reported in the Euro Weekly News (Issue 1664), the two groups have been at loggerheads over claims the mayor had ‘politicised’ and ‘prioritised the recreational and touristic elements’ of an event which started life with a social message. After threatening to boycott the main parade, the associations

have made their peace after new elements were added to the programme, while the rainbow and ‘trans’ flags will fly outside the town hall from today (Thursday). The main theme of the event is a homage to lesbian women who are “punished twice for being women and for their sexual choice,” explained culture councillor Aida Blanes. There will also be a debate on

transsexuality, and a homosexuality forum, while the headline performer is Israeli singer and ex-Eurovision winner Dana International.

AXARQUIA: Homes were built on non-urban land.

Thousands of homes may be illegal By Sally Underwood THE E u ro We e k l y N ew s h as learned that thousands of homes in Axarquia which were built on non-urban land could be affected by rec e n t c h a n g e s t o th e s ta te planning law (LOUA). In October last year, town halls were instructed to take action on potent i a l l y i l l e g a l h o me s b y preparing a general plan as well as an inventory of all buildings constructed on non-urban land. Once completed, councils will use the two documents to determine whether each property is legal; ‘asimilado como fuera de ordenacion,’ meaning the property is recognised but subject to further restrictions, or subject to a demolition order. Local activist group Save Our Homes in Axarquia (SOHA), has contacted this newspaper claiming that around 20,000 homes in Axarquia could be illegal without their owners’ knowledge. They sa y o n l y 2 0 0 p ro p erty owners have contacted them so

far and are calling on others to come forward so they can organise a platform, putting pressure on the council to declare all homes built with town hall licences legal. Philip Smalley, a spokesman for the organisation says, “owners of homes on non-urbanisable land believe that because they have all their paperwork, and no action has been taken against them to date, that they are legal.” H e s a y s all p ro pe rty ow ne rs will soon receive a letter from the town hall stating what category it has been placed in.

Four vicious Chilean crooks A QUARTET of Chilean crooks were arrested and charged with mugging an elderly woman, stealing nearly €3,000 from her purse. The Alhaurin de la Torre resident, 67, had just left a bank where she withdrew the huge sum. As soon as she left the bank the four Chileans, who toured Spain targeting vulnerable victims, knocked her violently to the ground and stole the money. They sped off in a getaway car which police later traced to Benalmadena, where they made the arrests. Further investigations revealed that the gang had flown from Chile to Barcelona. They drove straight to Madrid, spending one day in the capital before hiring another car to drive to the Costa del Sol. They had been resident in Benalmadena for months. Police found dozens of phones, SIM cards, and traceless communication devices in their apartment. It is highly likely they committed other crimes during their time on the Costa del Sol. The four men, all in their 30s, have been thrown into prison.

White Asparagus Season in Sea Grill!

WHITE asparagus is one of the greatest spring ingredients you can find, only seasonally available on the menu from April to June. White asparagus has more of a delicate flavour compared to green asparagus, yet full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. White asparagus is grown underground and protected from sunlight, therefore chlorophyll never forms, keeping the asparagus white, not green, this also helps create the deli-

cate flavour and extremely tender texture. Sea Grill restaurant, with breathtaking Mediterranean views, will be presenting a special menu where White Asparagus is paired with King Crab, Hot Smoked Wagyu and Veal Tenderloin. Enjoy the sea views and the seasonal menu in Sea Grill.

Kidnappers arrested by National Police National Police

Hit and run A BMW X5, possibly involved in drug smuggling rammed a National Police vehicle in a chase from San Roque to La Linea. After the head-on collision, the suspected smugglers made their escape.

Face lift EVERY year, the Alhaurin de la Torre Council arranges for public streets and plots to be spruced up. Owners of private property which is not looked after however can face fines of up to €601.

Some of the seized items. IN November of 2016, two men were kidnapped in Madrid and were to be ransomed for €300,000 before they escaped. The pair had visited a property supposedly to purchase scrap gold, but were detained because they allegedly owed the gang that kidnapped them €300,000 which they denied. Whilst being transported to a dif-

ferent property in the Madrid area, one of the men managed to break free of his bonds and he and his companion jumped out of the car which they were travelling in and escaped. Officers of the National Police investigating this failed kidnapping discovered the identity of the person who had hired the vehicle from which they had escaped and were

then able to identify nine people who they believe were involved in this scheme. All nine were arrested in a series of raids on four properties, three in Madrid and one in Malaga where officers found two guns, two carbines, a sub-machine gun, more than €60,000 and documents belonging to one of the victims.

Crutch murderer jailed for 20 years AN 85-year-old woman found guilty of murdering her cancer-addled husband with a crutch in Rincon de la Victoria has been jailed for 20 years. The woman, who claimed she did not recollect the incident, may now apply to the government for a pardon. The jury found the woman, whose husband had lung cancer, waited until family visitors had left before killing him with his own crutch and then cleaning and hiding the murder weapon. During her trial, prosecutors asserted the woman waited until her husband was resting on a sofa, and, ‘unexpectedly, taking advantage of his helplessness, which prevented any effective defence, bludgeoned him.’ The woman is believed to have hit her husband on the head and arms over 40 times, causing 22 head wounds and massive blood loss. The man entered a coma and died at the Carlos Haya hospital the next day. Investigators initially believed the woman’s tale that her husband had fallen, but became suspicious when they found blood stains on his own crutch. The judge found the premeditated nature of the attack, as well as the abuse of trust of a wife murdering her husband were aggravating factors. The woman claimed she cannot remember the incident.

British firm looking to expand in Spain BRITISH development company Intu expects to invest €250 million into the development of a shopping complex in Torremolinos. The build is subject to receipt of formal planning permission, but much also depends upon a cooperative venture to transform the access from the N-340 as with an expected 20 million visitors a year, the road system could simply not cope. The company already owns a number of shop-

ping centres in the UK and Spain where it has plans for considerable expansion and recently built a roundabout in Zaragoza as well as expanding the number of lanes leading into its development there as part of its commitment to making access easier for visitors and residents. The work on the entrance to Torremolinos will not, said a spokesman be “simple or cheap” but it is prepared to make the financial commitment.

ANIMAL THERAPY: Helps Costa’s Alzheimer’s patients.

by the Association of Relatives of those with Alzheimer ’s and other dementias. The group serves in both Benalmadena and Torremolinos and boasts a range of highly qualified doctors, psychologists, physiotherapists and social workers. The animal therapy works

hand in hand with laughter and music therapies and specialised exercise routines to help boost cognitive function. Countless studies have shown that playing with animals, especially dogs, can be extremely good for the brain, especially in older folk.

Traffic on Malaga ring road.

Grisha Bruev Shutterstock

Poorly maintained roads lead to accidents ALTHOUGH the number of cars sold after the 2008 financial crisis dropped, roads around Malaga in particular are now overused and underfunded. When work was completed on the Malaga ring roads 25 years ago, it was forecast that traffic volume would be in the region of 25,000 vehicles a day, but current estimates suggest that the figure now exceeds 175,000 jour-

neys each day. Such a large volume of traffic is bound to cause considerable damage to the roads and the lack of repair makes travel more difficult for drivers, helping to cause more breakdowns and accidents, which in turn add to the number of hold ups and delays. At one time, the European Union assisted by making funds available to the Spanish government for the building of

a number of motorways, but toll roads have in many cases been uneconomic to manage and funds for major repairs are now hard to come by, especially as the problem was made worse by the winter storms. In the meantime, the volume of traffic will increase as the tourist season arrives and it will be more difficult to close stretches of road for repairs without making the congestion even worse.

Estuary barrier cut again THE barrier to keep drug smugglers from travelling along the Guadarranque estuary has been cut for the third time since it was installed in November. The authorities in Madrid have now indicated that they will consider installing CCTV in the area in order to try to identify those responsible for the attacks on the barrier. Drugs are brought across the Straits of Gibraltar from Morocco in small fast boats and then the smugglers prefer to ferry them along the river and unload in deserted tributaries or riverside properties rather than risk unloading directly on the coast. Whilst the integrity of the barrier is important as it does inconvenience the smugglers, available funds have not been confirmed.

Day of Friendship With Ukraine MIJAS Pueblo was awash with colour last Saturday, as over 170 artists took to the stage to celebrate Friendship Day with Ukraine. The large crowds were entertained by singers and dancers from, amongst other cities, Murcia and Madrid as well as being able to sample typical food and drinks and purchase local handicrafts and products.

THERE are 104 councils in Malaga Province charging drivers car tax with differences of up to €71.94 per car. Legislation establishes a minimum and maximum charge based on the horse pow-

er of the car with the two minimums being €34.08 and €71.94 whilst the two maximums are currently €68.16 and €143.88. This means therefore that if you have a large fleet of cars for business purposes and all are in the higher horse power division, you can make a considerable saving by registering your car in one of the cheaper towns provided that you have some form of address there. For some councils this has become big business and one in particular which has only 1,000 residents has more than 9,000 cars registered with it and income from this tax now

their change of address and simply pay the lower rate. The current situation is certainly unusual and it would appear to penalise some drivers unreasonably, simply because they live in one town rather than another and it encourages those who can make significant savings to obtain addresses in cheaper areas even though they don’t operate there. Currently 29 councils charge the absolute minimum amount and five (Benalmadena, Cortes de la Frontera, Malaga, Nerja and Ronda) charge the maximum or near to it, whilst the majority of others are somewhere in between.

Fantastic news for the singer Antony Wolfson MUCH-RESPECTED singer Antony Wolfson met with Michel and Steven Euesden,

owners of the EWN Media Group to present them with a framed CD and single.

His latest recording, A Touch of Heaven was originally written by the highly successful duo of Lieber and Stoller for Elvis Presley, but as Elvis never had time to record it Mike Stoller invited Antony to record the song, commenting after hearing it “Antony’s relaxed performance suits the style of my song perfectly.” Now, Antony has two exciting new projects as he has been offered four more new songs from the writers and plans to record an LP called Antony Wolfson sings Lieber and Stoller which will consist of the six songs now made uniquely available to him, together with six Elvis inspired songs. The album will be recorded in Marbella using the best local musicians and technicians and will be followed by a tour. This brings him to the next exciting stage in his career, as he is currently in discussion

with the CEO of the Heartbreak Hotel situated opposite Graceland in Memphis to perform a range of Elvis songs there when next touring the USA. Antony has been interviewed by a number of BBC radio stations in the UK where his single is on the play list and the song is currently gaining 100,000 plays a month in the USA, so with the buzz about his popularity and the summer approaching he is now booked for seven performances a week around the Marbella area. The EWN Media Group has been delighted to be a supporter and Media Partner of Antony Wolfson for some time now and the framed CD and Vinyl Record will take pride of place in the Group’s Head Office in Benalmadena.

Lark in the Park: Last Tango in Benahavis THE International Theatre Studio is holding their annual outdoor fundraiser in Benahavis on Sunday June 4. ‘Lark in the Park’ offers locals the chance to join the amateur dramatic group with their picnics for an evening of entertainment in the Parque Leonera. This year the funds raised will go to Age Concern Spain, which is set to open a new branch in the Marbella - San Pedro area. Starting at 6.30pm there will

be a one-act play directed by Martin Curd. This will be ‘Last Tango in Benahavis,’ a fast-moving comedy by David Tristram, starring Andrew Gommersall, Eileen Audas, Miles Rendle and Rachel Armstrong. Martin, who has been involved with ITS for less than two years, is relishing the challenge of directing for the first time. “Having acted in two plays directed by Diana King and Kate Jackson, both experienced directors and

actors, has given me a really good foundation on which to work,” he said. The short comedy portrays the highs and lows of a fictional amateur dramatic group which stumbles through its existence; the audience will witness the comical group camaraderie, snippets of their farcical performances and the daunting realisation that ‘Last Tango’ could be their final outing. During the interval there will be time to mingle and enjoy a picnic in the picturesque surroundings of the Benahavis Park before a musical extravaganza in the second half. Stella, Sam Oliver and Karen Danzig will provide live music and it is hoped the audience will put on their dancing

shoes as they have done in previous years. Admission is by donation for Age Concern Spain, with a suggested minimum of €13 per person. Places can be booked online at www.internationaltheatrestu dio.org via one of the usual outlets (Time in Spain in Estepona Port, Viva in San Pedro or Cath’s Cards in Benavista), or it is possible to pay at the door on the night. ‘Lark in the Park’ will be the first fundraising event for the soon to be inaugurated Age Concern Spain, Marbella - San Pedro. ITS are hoping for another fun night of laughter and entertainment - you will need to bring your refreshments, picnic blankets, and - of course - your dancing shoes!

Lesley Gonella (poppy organiser) said “it was very fitting that Bill’s life should be celebrated in this way as he was an ardent fundraiser.” The next event in the branch programme is the Armed Forces Day BBQ on June 27.

As a wide range of food was distributed by the efficient waiting staff, visitors were invited to take a drink from a young lady wearing a skirt full of glasses and in the main room, music was supplied by a range of guest artists and DJ. Jugglers as well as a human disco ball added to the fun and the celebration carried on until late in the evening, attracting many passers-by who stopped on the beach to look into the buzzing restaurant.

PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE: Will cover you against third party claims.

What is public liability in regard to home insurance? IF someone slips or falls and suffers an injury whilst on your property, they could make a claim against you for damages. Public liability insurance will cover you against these types of potential third party claims. Here are some examples so you can better understand the risks involved if you fail to protect yourself against third party liability, also known as public liability. TYPES OF THIRD PARTY OR PUBLIC LIABILITY If you own a swimming pool, paddle court or if you are renting out your property as a holiday home, anyone visiting your property could potentially make a claim against you for injury if they hurt themselves. You could be held liable even if it was their fault entirely. This also includes tradesmen entering your property in order to maintain it, such as gardeners, electricians, and swimming pool or boiler maintenance. Public liability insurance will cover you against any potential third party claim resulting from an injury happening on your property. You will need to check which types of third party cover you require for your property and take out a specific policy to cover, for example, medical claims or negligence. COVER YOURSELF AGAINST DAMAGE

CAUSED TO THIRD PARTY PROPERTY Should the structure of your property cause any material damage to another property (through explosion, water, or fire damage), you will be held responsible for any costly repairs. To avoid having to foot the repair bill you must take out a home insurance with public liability. WHAT DOES PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE COVER? Should a third party injure themselves on your property, they could make a claim against you for medical costs to cover their treatment. This can be expensive, especially if they have private medical insurance. You may also have to pay for any legal costs incurred should the claim require legal representation or court settlement. LĂnea Directa can provide you with advice on how to check how much public liability insurance you currently have and provide you with options on how to adequately cover yourself and your family.

Star appeal

FEATURE

Pamela Anderson.

Beach bar opening is a smash SHE shot to fame on 90â€™s hit lifeguard series Baywatch and is rumoured to be dating Wikileaksâ€™ Julian Assange. But Pamela Anderson had little to hide as she took a trip down memory lane at the opening of glitzy new beach club Playa Padre in Marbella. The ageless beauty, 49, put on a stunning display as she arrived in a glittering off-the-shoulder gown with revealing cutaway panels on her hips and chest. Pamela helped local star and ex-girlfriend of Bruce Willis, Maria Bravo, 50, to cut the ribbon opening the club before the curvaceous pair posed for some racy photos. Maria has a stake in the party

venue which will make regular donations to her Global Gift charity foundation. Other famous faces at the event included former Made In Chelsea star Ashley James, the 30year-old putting on an eyepopping display as she paraded in front of the cameras. Accompanied by model and TV personality Charlotte de Carle, 30, the body confidence campaigner flaunted her ample assets after earlier sharing a series of saucy bikini snaps on Instagram. The pair later had the crowd in the palm of their hands during a DJ set, but it was former Playboy bunny Pamela who stole the show as she whipped

off her shoes for a late night romp in the Mediterranean shallows before returning soaking wet to the party. Her headline-grabbing appear-

ance came just 24 hours before a rebooted version of Baywatch, in which she has a cameo role, hit cinemas across the UK.

THANKS to purchases made by mainly American banks and investment houses, shares in Aena hit a record €170 on the Spanish stock exchange.

Analysts suggest however that with the weakness of the Brazilian

Importantly however almost all the companies consulted agree that Brexit will have negative consequences on the Spanish economy as it may be more difficult for British companies to invest or want to invest in Spain.

Foreign owners DESPITE fears over Brexit, Britons purchase more properties in Spain than any other foreign group. Figures have fallen in the last 12 months but are still significant as far as property sales are concerned.

Gas price THE cost of an orange butane gas canister has increased by 5 per cent to €14.18. The last increase was in January and the price is set by central government, although gas in silver canisters is not controlled.

price which has increased by 14 per cent in the last month shows that Aena is within the top 10 most valuable companies on the Spanish stock market (IBEX) index, being worth more than a number of Banks and other household names. The reason for the escalation in the price of shares in the company is simply explained by the fact that there are considerably more potential purchasers than sellers and the only way that shares can be obtained is to encourage profit taking with higher bids.

Bid for renewable energy projects ALERT to the fact Spain needs to increase its production of renewable energy in order to meet EU requirements, new suppliers are being sought. The government will hold an auction to receive bids for new wind and other renewable projects shortly according to Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. He made it clear one of the stipulations for the award of any contract would be consumers would not have to pay more for the electricity produced as development costs would be for the winning bidders. The government hopes that by 2020 renewable projects will account for 10 per cent of Spanish energy production.

GBP, EUR exchange rates react to political news in May Ask the expert Peter Loveday Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com

WHAT’S been happening? The falling odds of the Bank of England (BoE) increasing interest rates in the near future saw the pound drop away from its recent multi-month highs against the US, Australian, New Zealand and Canadian dollars. Over the past four weeks the GBP/EUR exchange rate has fluctuated between €1.1723 and €1.1990 (a difference of over two cents per pound) while GBP/USD has recovered from a low of $1.2520 to hit highs of $1.2985 (a difference of four cents per pound). Although the news that centrist Emmanuel Macron won the second round of the French Presidential election (beating far-right Marine Le Pen) gave the euro a little boost, the currency’s gains weren’t as impressive as some had expected. Concerns the European Central Bank (ECB) plans to keep monetary policy accommodative for some time to come kept the euro under pressure. That being said, the past month has seen

PAST MONTH: The GBP/EUR exchange rate has fluctuated. EUR/USD see a surge of four cents per euro. The EUR/GBP has recovered from a low, with an improvement of about one penny per euro. Meanwhile, over in the US President Donald Trump lived up to his reputation for making rash and unexpected decisions by unceremoniously sacking the director of the FBI. Trump’s decision raised serious concerns about his leadership and weakened demand for the US dollar, leaving the USD/EUR exchange rate weaker. What do you need to look out for? Without doubt, the main pound-moving event

on the horizon over the next four weeks is the UK’s general election. The British public will be taking to the polls again on June 8 and as the outcome of the election could significantly change the shape of the UK’s Brexit negotiations, considerable GBP exchange rate volatility can be expected. A Conservative win is expected to be the most pound-positive outcome, while a Labour victory or coalition outcome may send Sterling spiralling lower. Political motivations will remain one of the

main causes of EUR fluctuations in the weeks ahead as the French legislative elections take place in June. Macron’s ‘Republic on the Move’ party will need to gain support if the new President hopes to push through some of his planned policy changes. Signs that Macron will struggle to enact change would be euro-negative. Any reports which support the ECB’s current plans to leave monetary policy unchanged would also weigh on EUR exchange rates. The Federal Reserve’s hotly-anticipated June interest rate decision on the 14th could also cause euro movement. If the Fed does increase interest rates the US dollar could surge, sending the euro lower in the process. However, if rates remain unaltered or if the central bank indicates that the June rate adjustment could be the last one of 2017, EUR exchange rates may jump as the US dollar falls.

ANNOUNCEMENT of the partnership.

Storage wars as police investigate possible scam AN investigation into fraudulent pension schemes is being undertaken by the British and Spanish authorities with at least €148 million thought to have been lost. The investigation has been mounted by the Serious Fraud Office of the Metropolitan Police into at least four UK based companies who have targeted investors overseas, many in Spain, persuading them to buy long leases on rooms in storage houses between 2011 and 2017. The proposal to these investors was that if they rented at one price, they could then sub-let at a higher price but in most cases this was not possible and often the only beneficiary was the investment company. A number of companies promoting this type of scheme were made insolvent in 2016 and one adviser has been banned from being a director of a company for nine years after 300 of his clients lost €14 million in a similar scheme. The investigation will decide whether individuals, many of them pensioners, were deliberately misled and if so, those responsible may well be prosecuted.

Have work will travel for Spanish youths seeking jobs in the US

THE USA: Welcome to the land of opportunity. ple count Spanish as their primary language and as there is some perceived conflict between Anglo-Saxons and Mexicans within the country, educated Spaniards who speak both English and Spanish are often able to find work.

Two troubled banks all set to merge Photo Credit: byvalet shutterstock

WITH the lack of work for youngsters in Spain, many have decided, like past generations that they will need to look for work elsewhere. The stereotype ‘Manuel’ the good hearted but almost unintelligible waiter in Fawlty Towers reflected the fact that in the early second half of the 20th century, huge numbers of Spaniards who could barely speak English found their way to the UK looking for a better life. Many returned home to enjoy their retirement but there is now a large new breed of well-educated younger people looking to find work and a career outside of Spain and with the uncertainty of future options in the UK, the USA is becoming a very attractive option. Despite the fact that there has been a serious division in American society with the presidential election results, a recent Mintel survey suggests that a high percentage of Americans believe that they represent a vibrant middle class and at the end of each month have paid their bills and have cash to spare. The Spanish language is the second most spoken in the USA and at least 41 million peo-

There are immigration requirements to be overcome but those qualified in Spain and currently with little hope of long term employment here are certainly eyeing up ‘the land of opportunity.’

THE first steps to amalgamate Bankia and Banco Mare Nostrum (BMN), two troubled banks owned by the Spanish government are underway. BMN was created in 2010 by merging four regional savings banks whilst Bankia was saved by the government as it was crippled by billions of euros of debt. It is believed by the Fund for Orderly Banking Restructuring (FROB) that merging the two operations will make it easier for the repayment of at least some of the funds pumped into them during the banking crisis although the path to unification will be long. The first step is for due diligence to be undertaken to ensure that there are no financial restrictions or hidden losses in either organisation now and each will be undertaken by a different set of international accounting firms. Assuming all proves to be in order the first stage is expected to be confirmed within two weeks and completion should take place by end of 2017.

Losing mental capacity whilst living abroad by Stone King Charlotte Macdonald Contact me at international@stoneking.co.uk

MANY UK expatriates living in Spain own properties in the UK and have pensions and investments in the UK. They rely on their UK assets to maintain their lifestyles (and those of their families) in Spain. If they can no longer manage their affairs in the UK due to a loss of mental capacity, it can cause many difficulties.

You can choose a person or people, who you trust, to act for you when you are no longer able. The best way to avoid the legal and practical difficulties that can occur with the loss of mental capacity is to plan for it in advance by drawing up a document called a ‘Lasting Power of Attorney’ (‘LPA’).

An LPA must be made while you have full mental capacity.

What is an LPA? An LPA is a legal document that enables you to appoint one or more attor-

neys to act for you when you are no longer able to act for yourself. Your attorney can be a professional,

such as a solicitor or a family member or friend. There are two types of LPA: ‘Health and Welfare’ or ‘Property and Financial Affairs’ An LPA must be made while you have full mental capacity. It is therefore important to make one while you are in good health. Why should you get an LPA? You can choose a person or people, who you trust, to act for you when you are no longer able. If you lose your mental capacity and do not have an LPA, then your family (or the authorities) will have no choice but to make an application to the Court of Protection to appoint a ‘deputy’ to look after your affairs, which can be time consuming and costly. Will my LPA be recognised in Spain? Unfortunately there is no international type of LPA which is guaranteed to work in both the UK and Spain. The advice we give to our clients at Stone King, is that if you have assets in both Spain and the UK, your only safe option is to appoint attorneys in both jurisdictions.

If you would like to discuss LPAs contact Charlotte Macdonald or Dan Harris at Stone King LLP by email international@stoneking.co.uk or by telephone on +44 (0)1225 337599.

Have the dissenters gone quiet? LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT I REALLY am so damn tired. Tired of being labelled a racist, tired of being accused of ranting alarmism, and even tired of being consistantly exonerated. At the risk of now being accused of being a monotonous bore, I will once again reiterate that, some 30 years ago, I warned that there was an enemy festering within Western communities. I also stated that if it was not recognised and dealt with sooner rather than later, it would all be too late. Well, I’m afraid it is now far too late. Actually it’s been too late for the last 20 years. With this latest Manchester atrocity the situation is now critical. My other prophecy, that parts of the UK could one day resemble Beirut, is drawing closer by each alarming minute. Make no mistake, despite the admirable ‘don’t look back in anger’ attitude of many good

TOO LATE: With the latest atrocity in Manchester, the situation is now critical. people, there are others sitting astride tinder boxes of seething anger and highly dangerous frustration. In short, before it all erupts into unthinkable violence and mayhem; something really must be done. Although I am reticent to expose myself to even more abuse, and although the politicians are also undeniably at fault, the main ‘something’

has to emanate from the Muslim communities. It is no longer sufficient for ‘moderate’ Muslims to say how appalled they are with these atrocities, or that it’s ‘not happening in their name.’ They simply have to take action that lends some credence to their statements. They need to show they really do want to integrate into

Western cultures and traditions. I’m not saying they should convert from their chosen beliefs, but I am certainly saying they should cease trying to convert Westerners into theirs. They need to; desist from referring to non-Muslims as ‘Infidels.’ Stop calling for Sharia law. Stop public flagellation and other alien culture rituals. Call a halt to all

marches and inflammatory banner waving and stop the wearing of the despised full Burka. All these actions are designed to provoke and intimidate. They must also do more to root out the hate preachers, who teach their brethren that dying in the pursuit of Jihad will result in travelling to some mythical, virgin drenched Shangri La. All these moves could go a long way to depressurising the cauldron of resentment and anger, which is reaching explosive proportions. If the lid finally blows, it will be an unprecedented disaster for everyone. In the name of intelligence, sanity and reason, let us really see an effort to integrate, before it all completely disintegrates into a carnage of violence and mayhem, which will lead us all to heaven only knows where. I await more accusations of ranting alarmism with my usual anticipation. Or have the dissenters now all gone a bit quiet!? Keep the faith Love Leapy. leapylee2002@gmail.com.

Snubs, flops & fashion fiascos Nora Johnson

Breaking Views Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

IF you could see inside my head, you’d find some profoundly insightful thoughts about the EU’s Brexit negotiation tactics. Before you got there, though, you’d find the following: are Theresa May’s ‘Legs-it’ skirts too short (shorter even than Jeremy Corbyn’s defence pledges) and should she have posed for Vogue (and, on a previous occasion, in those ‘Trousergate’ leather trousers)? But like or loathe her, she’s weaponised her wardrobe for the battle ahead, with all hems blazing. Tim Bell, the advertising guru, was asked to compare the PM with his former boss. “Well I don’t think Thatcher would have posed for Vogue,” he claimed, snubbing Mrs May. Wrong! Mrs T did four shoots for Vogue, with David Bailey and Mario Testino, including one interview (when Bell worked as her adviser) that began:“I am passionately interested in fashion.” But Thatcher didn’t dally (or do selfies/belfies like today’s slebs) in front of the mirror, and was good to go in four minutes flat.

As for slebs, remember that most of the time we see them, they’ll be benefiting from designer clothes, fashion stylists, flattering lighting etc. Clearly, most (though not all) are good-looking, but it’d be hard not to look fabulous when you have a team of professionals (celebrity make-up artists, hair stylists, photographers) whose job it is to do just that. A friend who used to work in the fashion industry in Paris claims that many models look relatively ordinary in ‘real life’ (except for their height), but spend an hour in hair and make-up, stand in front of a camera and wind machine, and they’re stunners.

And a final rant: all those ‘beach ready’ articles everywhere now. Why do we let ourselves be exposed to such body-shaming propaganda? It reminds me of the splendid put-down about relationships by Blanche, Deirdre Barlow’s mother in Coronation Street. “Good looks are a curse,” she reassured her daughter. “You and Kenneth should count yourselves lucky.’’

Margaret Thatcher poses for Vogue in 1984.

So, do excuse me, won’t you, while I totter off to get my body ‘beach ready’ - modelled loosely on that of the occasional whale washed-up here on Spain’s beaches...

Helping to children a li Ricky Lavazza.

A V E RY s p e c i a l e v e n i n g a t t h e S u n s e t Beach Club Benalmadena saw €11,290.80 raised and shared between three children’s charities. A sell-out audience each paid just €10 to attend a concert featuring the talents of the irrepressible Ricky Lavazza and the delightful Nikki Rae who between them sang their hearts out with numerous changes of style and clothes for more than three hours.

Ricky Lavazza attracts a regular following wherever he goes and creates an instant relationship with his audience.

Land voucher. Winner of €500 Oak

The evening which also celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Club was held at the Moonlight Bar on the complex and the management of the Club kindly offered to match all money raised on a euro for euro basis. Guests were invited to buy tickets for a raffle which had a number of exceptional prizes including two €500 furniture vouchers, the generous donation of Oak Land Furniture SL Managing Director Steve Day. There had been such a demand for tickets

to the show that the usual dance floor at the Moonlight had shrunk but even then, some hardy types managed to dance to the music of the two talented singers. Ricky Lavazza attracts a regular following wherever he goes and the charming Welshman creates an instant relationship with his audience as he chats and jokes with them in between songs. He is not a simple tribute artist but knowing that his audience enjoys listening to songs that they recognise, he presents a range of hits in the style of Michael Bublé, Robbie Williams, Tom Jones, Freddie Mercury and many more, but always ensuring that they are songs sung by Ricky Lavazza, not simply copies of the original. Clearly, not only does he enjoy performing, especially when the audience is eating from his hand, but he is also committed to raising funds for the three children’s charities supported annually by the Sunset Beach Club. Nikki Rae is a tribute artist of a special kind and she looks, sounds and chats just like Adele - but without the swearing - and for those who had not seen her before, she was a revelation and received long and well-deserved applause for her performance.

make sick ittle happier As she walked through the audience, before taking to the stage, many wondered whether the singer they heard was simply a recording of Adele, but it wasn’t. Like Ricky, she has a very pleasant personality and soon created a relationship with the audience and is clearly genuine and a real fan of the British singer.

The audience left knowing that not only had they seen a spectacular show, but they had done their bit to help raise funds for ill children.

Indeed with an almost child-like excitement she shared the fact that she had front row tickets to see her idol and would be wearing an ‘Adele dress and hairstyle’ praying that she would be invited on stage to sing (it is not unusual for Adele to take a shine to a member of the audience and bring them on stage). The hard work of these two great singers, supported by a team of dancers who had been ushers earlier in the evening, the management of the Sunset Beach Club and all of the donors of gifts including Oak Land Furniture worked tirelessly to break last year’s total by more than

€1,000. The important result was that each of the three nominated charities, Debra Butterfly Children, Make-A-Wish Spain and Barretstown, each received a cheque for €3,763.60 and the audience eventually left knowing that not only had they seen a spectacular show, but they had done their bit to help raise funds for ill children. Debra Butterfly Children Charity was founded in 1993 in order to try to supply relief and possibly a cure for those who suffer from Epidermolysis Bullosa, also known as Butterfly Skin which affects a number of children in Spain (www.pieldemariposa.es). Make-a-Wish Spain is affiliated to the international charity operating in 50 countries with the aim of making life happier and more exciting for children suffering from serious illnesses by trying to help make their secret dreams come true (www.makeawishspain.org). B a r re t s t o w n , f o u n d e d b y a c t o r P a u l Newman is based in Ireland and runs residential camps and programmes for children and their families affected by cancer and other serious illness. The charity offers a range of adventurous, fun and challenging activities which are supported behind the scenes by 24-hour on site medical and nursing care and welcomes more than 100 children each year, mainly cancer sufferers, from Spain (www.barretstown.org).

It’s all a load of nonsense! Mike Senker

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I GET a letter from the hospital telling me I have an appointment for June 17 and that I need a blood test beforehand. So I go to the clinic to sort it and am told I can’t have a blood test until the 19th which, of course, is two days after my hospital appointment. I try my hardest to explain that is no good but, of course, it doesn’t matter. The receptionist tells me to go to the Costa del Sol hospital and try for an appointment there. I said, ‘I didn’t know you could do that. Why didn’t you tell me this before?’ Of course, I was told it was because I didn’t ask! I then asked if I could go to any hospital or local clinic and they said ‘of course’ so I went to Las Lagunas and got an appointment straight away. So, the message is, ask if you want to know anything and don’t expect any information over and above the answer to the initial question. On the subject of information I found out something this week which is very interesting. I had to cancel a flight and on telling my pal he asked if I claimed the tax back. I didn’t know what he was talking about. As you know, when you book a flight a proportion of

it is tax so if you don’t use that flight you are entitled to a tax refund. Now, of course, noone tells you this and believe me it’s not easy getting it back and, of course, there is a service charge but it’s worth doing. I have been watching the UK election build up and, as usual, the interviews fascinate me. These politicians are just incredible how they manage to sit there and not directly answer any question. I saw May being interviewed by Andrew Marr and she was asked the same question three times and she just would not give an answer. Corbyn is just as bad and on top of that if they do answer it’s usually a pack of lies. Just take May’s promise when she took over as PM. She insisted there would be no snap election. This, to anyone with any sense, could not be true as she didn’t have her own mandate. I’m glad I don’t live there anymore. I certainly do not profess to understand politics at all but I know bullshit when I hear it and listening to all of them I’ve heard it all before. Student fees will be abolished by the Lib Dems and when they had a chance to try and get it done when they were in a coalition with the Tories they never ever mentioned it again. Now Labour is promising to abolish these fees. But what good is that to the kids that are already £30k in debt? Email me mikesenker@gmail.com

LEGALLY SPEAKING Nothing to hide, nothing to fear AS part of a new series, we answer some common driving questions, kindly provided by members of the Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.

CHECKPOINTS: Do not be alarmed.

REGULAR checkpoints are often carried out on roads as part of routine operations such as combating drink driving, or vehicle inspections. Sometimes they are part of an increase in security and sometimes, although very rarely, they are directly related to a specific threat. Whilst safe and careful drivers have nothing to worry about, these checkpoints can seem daunting as you approach but remember, they are being conducted for your safety. They are there to catch criminals and those risking road safety, but if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. But what should you do when approaching such a checkpoint? Firstly, stay calm. Listen to the instructions given to you by the officers. They may usher your vehicle to a chosen place, ask you to exit the vehicle and they may want to check the contents of your vehicle as well as your docu-

mentation. Allowing them to get on with their duties will have you getting on your way as soon as possible. Secondly, do not share the checkpoint information with others. Posting this information on social media can alert those who have done wrong about the presence of the checkpoint allowing them to get away. Finally, do not be overly alarmed. The presence of additional security teams on the streets is not a direct indication of an increase in the threat level. The Spanish Interior Ministry publishes the details of the current threat level on their website www.interior.gob.es. On the right of the web page is a green box marked NAA, or Nivel de Alerta Aniterrorista. Click on this to see the current status level. The level has been a stage four ‘high’ alert for some time, since June 2015, but all the information is listed on the page.

Too many Marbella moments & menopause! Photo by Sylvain Pedneault Wikimedia

Marbella Moments by Nicole King LIFE can be overwhelming; even when it’s good. I’ve just spent the last two days trying to finish this column and I can’t. Nor can I let John Smith and the Euro Weekly News team down by not sending in anything and yet the reality is I find myself sitting here with five columns only half written. This is not due to a lack of things to write about or knowing what I want to say; quite the contrary. We have the local Spanish up in arms with our British youngsters with their drinking culture, who they feel are bringing down Marbella’s glamorous reputation. They’ve even started posting really bad videos taken in Puerto Banus to boost their cause on the social media and are demanding immediate action by the authorities to restrict this behaviour. We have other drunken Brits mowing down pedestrians in a frenzied rage and one of the things I still can’t get my head round is that we have lost

It only takes one fool to burn down a city. beautiful young, precious lives in road accidents; loved and cherished members of our community. All this has happened in just in one weekend.

I’ve also started writing about the Puerto Banus Business and Resident associations taking action to get more members signed up so they can unite their forces to demand the much-need-

ed improvements in Puerto Banus, but this overlaps with the drunken Brit stories and that’s a delicate issue. I’m too sad about the senseless loss of life of our youngsters to go there yet.

So which article to finish? Perhaps that I’m still in disbelief that Marbella promoted an enormous and highly publicised dog walking event but not in support of Triple A, the city’s own animal rescue centre that has to fund itself although it serves the city and caters to its needs? I just haven’t had time to process it all. I haven’t been sitting around idle either. I have a ‘day job’ in which I get to help people with visual deficiencies and also have the honour of hosting a radio show two afternoons a week ‘Mi Marbella’ on 107.6FM, our town hall’s official station and I prepare our weekly magazine TV Show ‘Marbella NOW’ which we record on Tuesdays and edit on Fridays, the day it first airs on RTV Marbella at 6pm. There’s never a dull moment and I love it all, but this week too much information and menopause have fried my brain. So, as the Spanish saying goes “It only takes one fool to burn down a city” and I don’t want to be that fool, this week I think the best thing to do is keep my mouth shut and say nothing. www.rtvmarbellanow.com

Helle Hollis Parking is located directly opposite the San Miguel brewery at the access road to Malaga Airport. The parking garage is open 24 hours, seven days a week, and a free courtesy bus brings and takes the customer to and from Malaga Airport. Helle Hollis Parking offers a free machine wash when the parking is for seven days or longer, and for long-term parking there is no limit to how many times you can park and pick up your car again. “At Helle Hollis Parking the customer gets safe and secure parking, with our guarantee that it is parked indoors and with the new website it is now even easier to reserve your parking,” concludes Hans Hugo.

Flight problems

Disability awareness

PASSENGERS to and from Gibraltar had a difficult weekend and start to the Whitsun holidays as flights were cancelled or aircraft were changed. Two flights in and out of Gibraltar were cancelled by BA due to the computer breakdown and then easyJet had to swop a scheduled aircraft for a smaller one, meaning that 26 passengers were denied boarding in the UK.

Chelsea Pensioners

A REPRESENTATIVE of UK charity Attitude is Everything was invited to speak to staff in the public and private sectors about disability awareness. Organised by the Ministry of Equality, training was targeted at counter staff and those who work directly with the public with the intention of trying to highlight possible barriers people with disabilities encounter.

A PAIR of Chelsea Pensioners, on holiday on the Rock donned their famous bright red uniforms and joined the Gibraltar Re-enactment Society troops in Casemates Square. The usual Saturday parade by members of the society dressed in vintage uniform is always popular with visitors but the addition of the two pensioners from the Royal Hospital in Chelsea encouraged photographs.

HMS Torbay makes return visit to the Rock

HMS TORBAY: Arrived in Gibraltar on Monday for a short stay and restocking. By John Smith THE nuclear submarine HMS Torbay arrived in Gibraltar on Monday where it will be making a short stay and restocking for its first visit since 2015.

Whilst Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo tweeted his personal welcome to the v es s e l s a y in g it w as “home-away-from-home,” S p an is h e n v iro n me n tal g ro u p Ve rd ema r-E c o lo gists in Action complained

about the arrival of the nuclear submarine. The group argues that no nuclear submarine is safe and therefore should not put in to Gibraltar as it is a potential threat to those living in the Bay of Algeciras.

It will be remembered in Gibraltar however that Russian nuclear submarines were welcomed by the Spanish government to Ceuta in 2016. In the meantime, the Governor of Gibraltar is to make

Two young Moroccans arrested for illegal entry A PA I R o f y o u n g M o r o c c a n s were arrested in Gibraltar and charged with entering illegally. In addition, they were also c h a rg e d w i t h t h e u n u s u a l a n d particular crime of being a nonGibraltarian found in Gibraltar without a valid permit of residence or certificate. The two men, one of whom is of no-fixed abode and the other who gave an address in La Linea pleaded guilty to the charges but claimed that they had entered in order to attend Ramadan prayers at the Ibrahim-alIbrahim Mosque at Europa Point. There was no explanation as

to why they entered Gibraltar without going through an immigration control point and although they both claimed to hold valid Spanish residency documents, they were unable to present them.

Both men were fined £100 and later escorted out of Gibraltar. Both were fined £100 for the o ff e n c e b u t o n e w a s f u r t h e r charged with disorderly behaviour at the police station and

fined another £100 for damage caused to a mattress. Both men were later escorted out of Gibraltar. This was a particularly ill-advised entry by the two young men as the threat alert in Gibraltar is at ‘substantial’ and the sudden discovery of two unknown young Moroccans without proof of entry would have caused considerable initial fear amongst security services. Happily the situation was handled sensibly and without injury to them, but it was a very foolish thing to have done even though it proved to have been ‘innocent.’

a formal complaint to Madrid following an incursion into waters claimed by Gibraltar by Spanish Patrol Boat Centinela last Sunday before it was escorted back to Spanish waters by the Royal Navy.

Armed officers out on patrol AS Spanish Authorities report an increase in violent response from drug smugglers being pursued in Spanish waters, so the Royal Gibraltar Police (RGP) explains tactics. Now alerted to the potential danger and in order to protect officers from Gibraltar, the RGP has confirmed that its armed officers are now regularly placed on board its patrol boats. In addition, armed officers from the Gibraltar Defence Police accompany Customs vessels undertaking patrols at sea for protection. Recent events locally, as well as the seizure of 10,000 firearms by the Spanish Authorities suggest that officers could routinely expect a threatening response from criminals.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) After a hectic start to the week, things seem to have slowed down. Look carefully at what has happened, but remember that there is no point in worrying over something that you cannot change. Sitting tight and waiting for this period to pass could be the best solution. Certainly, it will prove less stressful than fighting a losing corner.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Money is good and this can make you overconfident. Beware bank managers offering loans in large amounts. Nothing is for free and you need to look carefully at interest rates right now. Another, more personal, investment also needs looking at right now. Are things going exactly the way you want them to?

Partnerships see you leap ahead on something that was a bit stuck in the mud. A leap in your bank balance follows. Some quick decisions may be called for so it is better to share responsibilities, whatever the outcome. You have a chance to show just how clever you can be, but do it because it gives you personal satisfaction rather than to impress.

win if you concentrate. A bit of plotting and planning can work wonders at the moment. Most of your big expenses are behind you and if you can just tighten that belt a wee bit more. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Although things seem fine, this is not a time to overstretch your finances. Spending a lot this week without thought is problematic later. This is a week of shifting and changing and that certainly means your finances. The other area is your social circle, where people come and go, sometimes without warning. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) This is not a particularly lucky week for you, so I would certainly advise caution. Gambling is not recommended. Being clever with money is as much about not spending it as about how you spend it. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Look at the long-term picture when considering money matters. What seems like a good deal now may not be so a few years down the line. Someone who appears to be telling a lie may simply have either misunderstood or have the wrong information.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) This is a time to consider finances and keep your options open. Someone who tries to get a fast decision out of you by pushing you into a corner is doing you no favours. You will decide what (if anything) needs to be done when you are good and ready. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Keep things simple. Getting involved in other people’s problems is not for you at the moment. It may be necessary to delay a decision to give yourself time to think. Could you manage a few days away somewhere? Maybe you could stay with a friend or relative. You need some peace and quiet on your own. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Although things are going pretty well, there are some things that could be just a little better organised. The time and money that this saves could be small, but it’s the ongoing positive attitude that counts. There have been times recently when you have wondered if your progress on a certain matter would ever start up again. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) It is better if you don’t get involved in any high profile, high risk business deals. Success is not assured. This is a time for financial consolidation. Count your pennies and see the pounds collecting in the future. On a cold winter’s night it can give a pleasant glow to realise your action during the summer is keeping you warm.

It tells the story of Verena, a determined young nurse who is hired to help a boy who has become mute after the tragic death of his mother. In the time she spends observing him, she becomes convinced that he has fallen under the spell of a powerful and otherworldly persona. She eventually discovers that it is trapped within the walls of the castle and rapidly begins to influence her own being. The film’s cinematography captures the atmosphere of a classic fairytale, where the characters are on a collision course with fate.

Enemies of the People

By Sam Jordison The author encourages the reader to reflect on the fashionable theory that economic and geopolitical forces and not individuals could determine history. He considers the bunch of angry men, which include, Nigel Farage, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, who have governed society, in a way that has led to confusion and have placed the public in a vulnerable position. He suggests that these men possess plenty of ambition, but are sadly lacking in genuine ability. The recent events of Brexit and the rise of Nationalism have driven us to the edge of a cliff, having no idea of the direction we’re heading. Jordison also reminds us that history is written by conquerors; therefore we are fortunate that those in power can only manage to write a few words at a time. books@euroweeklynews.com

The men who would be King HE was born in Mississippi on January 8, 1935 and grew up in Memphis, Tennessee and was called Elvis Aaron Presley. As he grew up, he was influenced by pop, country and gospel music. In 1954 he began his singing career with ‘Sun Records’ and after two years he was an international star. During his lifetime, he stole the hearts of men and women alike, with his good looks, charisma, humility and kindness. Millions worshipped him and this earned him the title, ‘The King of Rock and Roll.’ It is no wonder then, that so many have been inspired in keeping his memory alive, by imitating him. 1. Shawn Klush Shawn Klush is an Elvis impersonator who comes from Pennsylvania and possesses Elvis’ unmistakable drawl. The BBC named him ‘The World’s Greatest Elvis.’ He didn’t practise or stand in front of the mirror when he started performing, but gets very anxious before going on stage. He has always regarded Elvis as an ‘iron giant.’ 2. Gordon Hendricks Gordon Hendricks is a barber from Stoke-onTrent, who has been singing Elvis songs since he was a child. He used to perform in local clubs for £50 a night until he won ‘Stars in their Eyes’ in 2005 and went touring with a 22piece backing band. He won the title of ‘The Most Convincing Tribute Act to the King’ at the Collingwood Elvis Festival in Canada and was awarded the title by Priscilla Presley.

TOP 10 whilst on holiday in Tenerife. The owner was so impressed and offered him a job. He entered his first competition in 2010, making it to the finals of the European Elvis Championship. Since then he has performed all over the world. 8. Dwight Icenhower Dwight Icenhower was named the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist in 2016. He prides himself on keeping the King of Rock and Roll in our hearts forever. He grew up in Ohio and began his career by singing karaoke. He has studied every move Elvis has made and mastered all of the eras of Elvis’ career.

HI Garry, Read your column with my usual interest as a ‘foodie.’ I find it great to see the other side of the trade, to that of customer. I have found that the hardest thing for a restaurant to achieve is consistency, nothing more embarrassing than having a great meal, great service etc, all value for money. You then take friends there having found this ‘gem’ and the evening is awful, it may be poor food quality, poor service, or whatever but you end up feeling disappointed and bit of a fool. No doubt we have all have had this experience. But there is no excuse for a lazy or incompetent chef/cook, I have had duck breast, that on the menu states it will be cooked ‘pink’ unless ordered different, then get an overcooked and dry portion. Now I appreciate that in a busy kitchen a piece of meat may be left too long and therefore not cooked as required, OK. But when the said breast is sliced it is then obvious that a mistake has occurred, if this is ignored it either means the chef/ cook, does not care or cannot see what he has allowed to happen,

Key is training

COMMENTS from EWN Online Football most important says Spanish TV presenter THIS stupid, Antonio Jiménez, is a typical representative of the ultra-fascist 13 TV television network and blatantly supports all performances of the government party, including corruption acts. He is immoral, unworthy to appear before the public. As a Spaniard, I am ashamed of ‘compatriots’ like this. My condolences to the British people. Un Español IF this had happened in Spain and he was unsure of the location I wonder if he would have had the same view. Perhaps he cannot remember the Madrid train bomb. Adrian Brooks

Giant bear-huggers SPAIN, like all European countries must wise up and start the deportation of immigrant criminals immediately. Spain owe it to the citizens and holidaymakers. Spain relies on a lot of tourism and the tourists and Spanish citizens need priority protection because they pay the taxes and in this case didn't commit any crimes, other than believing Spanish authorities would look out for them. Europe needs to take a hardline stance on criminal immigrant criminals. Theft, rapes, assaults and murders are becoming the normality. This isn't the Europe I grew up in, this isn’t the Europe we want for our children.

Hotels crack down on fraudsters

MOJACAR: Restaurants have cracked it! either way the problem is unacceptable, now whilst you can send it back and get a replacement, that is not always desirable if the rest of the party have their food and want to eat it, You either wait until they have finished before you eat, or they wait for you. I am blessed here in Mojacar, there has been somewhat of a revolution in many of our restaurants recently. There is now a cluster of adjacent businesses that have cracked it! Waiting staff, all trained, dressed in smart clean uniforms (black outfits) service is swift, drinks and orders dealt with quickly, and delivered all with a smile. The menus all offer a reasonable three-course meal at a very

acceptable price €12/13, the menu choices are amazing, catering for all tastes, drinks are not expensive (surprisingly) house wine around the €10 mark. The greatest benefit is the consistency, of service, prices, menu offerings, portion size, quality and atmosphere. Long may it continue. The key seems to be TRAINING! These places are busy summer and winter, the winter being the testing time, when resident expats are picky and only leave warm villas for value and quality. Love your column, as an ex marketing guy I appreciate your process. Regards, James from Turre

SPANIARDS: Despite a healthy lifestyle, many don’t consider their health to be good.

Few Spaniards claim to be in good health SPANIARDS are amongst the most medicated in Europe. Despite many claims it boasts one of the healthiest lifestyles in the world, it seems this health isn’t transmitting to much of the population as it has been reported as being one of the countries with the lowest percentage of people aged 50 or over who considers their health status to be ‘good.’ This is the conclusion of the report ‘Health in adult life and its relation to healthy ageing: current trends, opportunities and future challenges in Spain’ carried out by the Mapre Founda-

Growing trend of the lotus birth A LOTUS birth, is an increasingly popular trend amongst new mothers. It involves not cutting the umbilical cord after the baby is born and leaving it attached to the placenta until it falls off on its own. This method is seen by many as a natural and spiritual option and is common in some cultures such as in Bali before the idea was introduced in the 1980s in the USA and Australia. Followers believe it allows the baby to continue obtaining all the nutrients the placenta has to offer, such as stem cells, PLACENTA: before the placenta dries up and that cutting the cord can be Is prone to traumatic for the infant. However studies are still uninfection. derway on any potential benefits of the placenta and now experts have warned of the risk of leaving the placenta attached. With some leaving it attached for up to two weeks before it drops off naturally, the British Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists warns about the risks of infection and bacteria developing in the placenta and spreading to the baby. With a growing number of women in the UK reportedly opting for a lotus birth, the British Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists said the placenta is particularly prone to infection as it contains blood and recommends that babies be monitored carefully for any signs of infection.

50 years or over was the age of people in the study tion to determine the health status perceived by those aged over 50. It found that many didn’t perceive their health to be particularly good with women giving a worse assessment of their physical, cognitive and emotional health compared to men. According to experts, the way in which citizens perceive their health is an “excellent indicator of the general level of health of the people.”

Those who claimed to have better health were speaking in relation to their physical nature, such as not having limitations on being able to perform daily activities or not suffering from illness or pain or anxiety. In order to produce the report, an international comparison was made that found in Scandinavian and western European countries, the proportion of those over 50 who declare themselves to be in ‘good’ health is significantly higher than of the countries of south and eastern Europe. In contrast, Estonia and Italy are the ones with the highest proportion of this population that considered their state of health to be ‘bad.’

Transgender surgery is on the increase GENDER reassignment surgeries in the USA are skyrocketing. As the first ever data of this type is released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, it shows a substantial increase in demand as more than 3,200 surgeries were performed in America in 2016 to help transgender patients, although surgeons claim the figure could actually be much higher as there is no uniform way of documenting such surgeries in hospitals. The Society said an increase in

celebrity transitions and more honest and open conversations about the issue is driving the increase. Increasingly, insurance companies are offering coverage for surgery for patients with gender dysphoria and gender confirmation procedures can include everything from facial and body contouring to reassignment surgeries including vaginoplasty which is male to female genital surgery and phalloplasty; female to male genital surgery.

Instagram comes out worst INSTAGRAM is the social network with the greatest negative effect on mental health and well-being, according to a recent survey of 1,500 teens and young adults. Five social networks were included in the research, with YouTube the only site to achieve a net positive score. Twitter finished second followed by Facebook and Snapchat, with Instagram fifth. Although the photo-sharing platform received positive marks for self-expression and self-identity, it was also linked to high anxiety levels, depression, bullying and ‘a fear of missing out.’ The survey, designed by the UK’s Royal Society for Public Health posed questions about how social media affected 14 issues related to mental and physical health.

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte.

ARTHRITIS is a common condition that causes pain and inflammation in a person’s joints with the most common types being osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. What is the difference between the two? Osteoarthritis initially affects the smooth cartilage lining of the joint, making movement more difficult than usual and leading to pain and stiffness. Once the cartilage lining starts to thin out, the tendons and ligaments have to work harder, causing swelling and the formation of bony spurs. Severe loss of cartilage can lead to bone rubbing on bone, which can alter the shape of the joint and force bones out of their normal position. Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when the body’s immune system targets affected joints, leading to pain and swelling. The outer covering of the joint, known as the synovium, is the first place affected, causing further swelling and a change in the joint’s shape. This can cause the bone and cartilage to break down. What are the symptoms? The symptoms of arthritis can vary depending on the type, so it is important to get

an accurate diagnosis if you have any of the following: Joint pain, tenderness and stiffness. Inflammation in and around the joints. Restricted movement of the joints. Warm red skin over the affected joint or weakness and muscle wasting. Who are most likely to suffer from arthritis? Osteoarthritis most often develops in adults who are in their late 40’s or older, and is more common in women and people with a family history of the condition. Rheumatoid arthritis often starts when a person is between 40 and 50 years old, and women are three times more likely to be affected than men. How do you treat it? Although there is no cure for arthritis, there are many treatments to help slow down the condition. For osteoarthritis, painkillers, corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to manage symptoms. In extreme cases, surgery such as joint replacement can be used. Treatments for rheumatoid arthritis aim to slow down the condition’s progress and minimise joint swelling. Analgesics, physiotherapy and regular exercise all can help.

10 years of raising funds for Children with Cancer UK CANCER is terrible but when it affects children it is even worse which is why Sandro Morelli has helped raise €393,500 for Children with Cancer UK. This respected restaurateur who owns the spectacular Villa Tiberio in Marbella has lived in Spain for 28 years after successfully running the trendy Barbarella group in London. His restaurant is spectacular with enormous gardens containing a huge range of statuary which takes guests back to Ancient Rome, but there is nothing old fashioned about this Italian themed restaurant on the Golden Mile. Sandro says that life is not just about money but about recognition of those who are worse off than ourselves and he is eternally grateful for the success that this celebrity haunt has enjoyed with such visitors as Dame Karen Brady, Des O’Connor, Tony Hatch and many more. The annual Spring into Summer gala dinner in aid of Children with Cancer UK,

Sandro Morelli in the grounds of Villa Tiberio. now in its 10th year will be held at this delightful venue on Sunday June 11 and is already sold out, although there is a waiting list in case of cancellation. For €75, (of which €25 goes straight to

the charity) guests will enjoy pre-dinner drinks, a superb three-course meal also with drinks, some fine entertainment and the opportunity to bid in a special charity auction.

The charity which is strongly associated with Great Ormond Street hospital was set up by Eddie and Marion O’Gorman, with the assistance of Diana, Princess of Wales, following the death of their son Paul from leukaemia and then nine months later, their daughter Jean was also killed by cancer. Now, after 29 years, the charity has raised more than €200 million to help the fight against childhood cancer and it is in support of this incredible charity that Sandro and his staff at the Villa Tiberio devote so much time and energy. The people of Marbella have always been supportive of this truly magnificent event and as an example, neighbour Sir Michael Smurfit who may not be able to attend this year’s gala has made a significant donation to be presented to the charity on the night. To join the waiting list or to donate something special for the auction, call Sandro on 952 771 799.

GARRY WAITE

DON’T WANT TO JUMP ON THE band wagon regarding the dreadful atrocity that was the Manchester bombing. Nor do I wish to get involved with the political and emotional battles that are going on. If I voiced my opinion I would probably make my esteemed colleague Leapy Lee look live a liver-lilied-liberalist! I would instead like to talk about the good things that happen in the face of such occurrences. Whether it’s the ‘Dunkirk’ spirit or something built into the British DNA that makes otherwise normal people do extraordinary things, I don’t know. Apart from those people who rushed in to the arena to help the injured while others were rushing out, there were of course all the amazing emergency services such as Paramedics who helped those with the most horrific injuries. From this emerges the usu-

Those two have been rewarded. One has found his long lost mother and the other became a subject of a ‘go fund’ giving page on the internet that has raised so many thousands for homeless people. And then there was the Hospitality Industry. In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Manchester hotels and staff were using the

DEBIT CARDS WILL OVERTAKE CASH as Britain’s most frequently used method of payment by 2018 thanks to the rise in contactless cards. Many years ago I can remember being told that this would soon become the norm. However with people’s love of the ‘folding’ I can’t see it disappearing!! I mean imagine a window cleaner or gardener whipping out his contact credit card machine. I don’t think so! Worldpay, which handles 40 per cent of all UK card transactions, said that spending on all forms of contactless systems now accounts for 28 per cent of all non-cash transactions in the UK, with total spend exceeding £10b for the year in 2016. They processed over £1.5b in contactless payments in December alone, with shoppers spending an average of £10.39 per transaction. Today one in five of us will use the technology at least once a day, rising to a third of people in London. Already more than half of UK shoppers say they’d happily leave their wallet at home and pay for everything on their smartphone instead. It’s bad enough to lose your phone at the moment. How often do you hear people say, “my whole life is in that phone,” Imagine, “I’ve got no money - it was all in my phone”!!

hashtag #RoomForManchester to offer rooms to anyone displaced by the attack. Hotels around the arena including the nearby Holiday Inn Express, opened their doors to those that were frightened and alone, offering accommodation and refreshment as did McDonald’s and other bars and restaurants in the immediate area. The Mancunians are a hardy lot but just like great toffee sweets, have a soft centre. What really does concern me is a recent admission that there are 3,000 known jihadists in Britain under observation, 500 of which are under constant watch but a further 20,000 that are known, but considered low risk.

The future of all transactions?

But that wonderful activity ‘survey’ shows that • A quarter of UK consumers claim they’ve started avoiding shops that don’t take cards, while a third (30 per cent) say they only use cash if absolutely necessary. • Two-thirds (60 per cent) of 24-34 year olds say they would prefer not to carry cash. • One in 10 small and independent retailers are still refusing to accept card payments, whilst a further 10 per cent impose a lower limit on non-cash payments. (information courtesy of Worldpay) Now, where’s my wallet? Ooops! Forgot to plug it in last night!! SPEAKING OF CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS, according to new data from Barclay-

Where was the scum bag in Manchester in the pecking order? Yes, in the 20,000 along with the maniac on Westminster Bridge. Maybe the only sensible thing Jeremy Corbyn has said in a while is that we have to accept the fact we are not winning the war against terrorism. Is Colonel Mike Kemp right? If they don’t have British passports, deport them! And for those against whom there is insufficient evidence to prosecute - intern them without trial! Their families too! Just as well that most of us are not in a position to make such decisions, let’s hope our elected leaders - worldwide - are able to sort out the huge problem.

card. Spending in pubs and restaurants held up strongly during the month of April, despite a fall in consumer confidence around household finances, The 5.5 per cent increase in overall consumer spending during the month was driven by inflation on essential goods and a late Easter, while meals out during the bank holiday led to a 20.4 per cent and 16.5 per cent rise in spending in pubs and restaurants respectively despite the interest charges levied by credit card companies. One of the reasons given is that of a warmer climate during that period and a late Easter. But the increase can also be associated with higher prices generally. Food and entertainment spending overall has risen. Which proves that when things are good people comfort eat and drown their sorrows while when things are good people celebrate by wining and dining. It’s a win win!!

ALLERGIES - LOVE ‘EM OR HATE ‘EM they are now part of our lives! When we were younger, I can’t remember anyone having food allergies can you? But then I suppose children died from anaphylactic shock without anyone knowing. What some people considered ‘fads’ are now being recognised as healthy options. We all know people allergic to nuts for instance. I have a friend that suffered from an allergy to pine-nuts. Not any other, just them. More women than men go gluten free. Celiacs have different sorts of reactions from what they consume than others. Lactose intolerant is another. I had a friend who was allergic to garlic. He only had to smell it and he would come out in a rash. He’s in good company, my friend and colleague, wine aficionado Pancho Campo reacts to garlic and onions. Difficult for a man that loves the Mediterranean diet!! Thankfully he is not allergic to wine!! However a wine merchant friend of mine loves red wine but it gives her an unpleasant reaction so she has to avoid it. Is there a difference between an allergy and an intolerance? Of course there is. After all we do not refer to Gluten free or Lactose intolerant as allergies, people are just better off without the things that cause them problems. Restaurants are aware of this now, more than ever before. Sandwich group Pret a Manger has seen sales grow 15 per cent to £776.2m, they claim driven by sales in dairy and gluten-free ranges. They introduced a number of dairy-free products in 2016, including a dairy-free, gluten-free soup range all under 250 calories. This recent offering increased UK soup sales by 16 per cent likefor-like. Their dairy-free, coconut porridge, accounts for one in five porridge sales in the UK, and now coconut milk sales exceed soya milk. (Never did understand that stuff!!) In this day and age, any restaurant worth its salt grinder has now got allergy symbols on their menus. But is it the responsibility of restaurateurs to inform the clients of ingredients in every dish? It’s good that the symbols reflect certain allergies and intolerances, Celiac, Lactose, nuts etc. but I know someone who is allergic - yes allergic - to coriander. But not to flat parsley, which is the same family!! And just because it says ‘Nut Free,’ my dear friend with the pine-nut allergy had to always inform the restaurant that, and sometimes they still used to put ‘Pesto’ on his dish!! So while the restaurant has to legally be responsible for allergy training with their staff, they can’t do anything without the client informing them. So, no matter how obvious your allergy maybe to you, please inform the restaurant. Now, I have to admit, that after all my years, I have developed an allergy. After months of a dry hacking cough, I went to my doctor who had allergy tests done on me and - wait for it - I have a dust allergy!! Who would ever have thought? “Excuse me waiter, I am allergic to dust, was it the coco powder on the chocolate cake or the gold dust on the fish, the crushed rhino horn - or have you just not vacuumed in a while?”

ON THAT NOTE I will bid you farewell until next week and should aspiring restaurateurs need some help or advice, please do not hesitate to contact me. A toast to Good Food, Good Wine and Good Friends.

Agapanthus, known as the flower of love shelter underneath during the day. Rem ovi ng t he expi r ed browning leaves will keep them looking good and reduce the harbouring of insects. They are easily propagated by di vi si on ever y f ew years. Dividing does reduce the production of flowers of the clump so it is best done after flowering has finished for the season in autumn, but i t can al so be done i n l at e spr i ng. When dug up carefully, it is easy to sepa-

By Graeme Tyrrell FINDING plants that will look good, require minimal care to tolerate the long dry Spanish summer, long lived, easily propagated and provide alluring flowers is a great way to have a bright healthy garden. Plants that come from Mediterranean regions and around the world provide a good starting point as they are adapted to survive naturally and usually just help to get established. Mediterranean type climates exist in California includin g L o s An g e l e s an d San Francisco, in parts of Australia around Perth and Adelaide, in southwestern South Africa including Cape Town, sections of Western and Ce n t r a l Asi a , a nd in Central Chile. This gives us a greater variety of plants to choose that will be easy to grow in Spain. A wonderfully attractive green strappy leaved plant with spectacularly large, either, blue, mauve, pink or white flowers that makes a great under storey plant for treed gardens or shaded balconies and terraces is the Agapanthus. The name is derived from the Greek agapĂŠ, meaning love, and anthos, meaning flower. So it can be interpreted as the Lovely flower or Love flower. It is also known as the African lily or the Blue lily. There are many varieties available that have different leaf variations and flower colours that have been cultivated by growers which may need additional care with watering in summer, but the original plants are very hardy. Agapanthus make a great less than metre high border or back g r o u n d h e d g in g .

They tolerate acid and alkaline soil and donâ€™t need a lot of additional nutrients as they may provide only a lot of green leaves and not many flowers. They should also have periods of full sun and a bright position to encourage flowering, but do well naturally in the shade under the canopy of trees.

Flying with pets David THE Dogman Listen to David on TRE every Saturday 10am to 11am Costa del Sol (Gibraltar/Sotogrande) 98.7fm (San Roque to Calahonda) 91.9fm (Calahonda to Motril) 88.9, Costa Calida 92.7fm Costa Blanca (Torrevieja to Elche) 105.1fm (Elche to Calpe) 88.2fm, (Calpe to Gandia & Ibiza) 104.6fm, (Denia to Valencia) 95.3fm Mallorca 103.9fm

WITH more and more people owning properties in Spain and spending a large part of their year here, pet travel has increased dramatically with owners preferring to bring their animals with them rather than leave them at home for any length of time. Pets accompanying their owners on a trip to Spain can be accepted as luggage when the corresponding excess baggage tariff has been paid (regardless of the class in which the passenger is to fly). As a general rule, these animals must be checked in and loaded into the hold of the aircraft, where they will be placed in a container (which some airlines can provide) but to be on the safe side it is worth purchasing your own carrier which

is IATA approved (and will have a sticker or label stating this). As only certain airlines and airports in the UK have the facilities to transport pets (BA and Monarch being the main carriers), when making a booking for you and your pet check first that the necessary transport can be arranged. Animals must carry the correct documentation, either with a pet passport or veterinary certificate or with all required vaccinations (in some countries with an evaluation of antibodies). All animals are identified by a microchip, and you need the correct documentation for this. Preparing pets for travel can be a lengthy business, with all the health checks, documentation and pet passport. So if

you are thinking about bringing your pet into Spain make sure you leave plenty of time to make the necessary arrangements. You can find more information on the Pets Travel Scheme (PETS) for the UK at www.de fra.co.uk. Guide dogs trained to accompany a passenger with a disability will usually travel in the cabin, unless prohibited by national regulations or the airlines. The dog’s transport, whether in the hold or in the cabin, will not be chargeable. It is not necessary to carry out any special procedure, but the dog must wear a muzzle, collar and lead. If the dog is to travel in the cabin, it will be placed next to the passenger in a place indicated by the crew.

Disabled dog seeks loving home A BRITISH expatriate couple have launched a desperate appeal seeking a new owner for Luque, an unfortunate 11-month old German shepherd. Christine McMahon, 77, and her LUQUE: Was shot. husband Philip, 79, are unable to care for him themselves after he was shot in Fuente-Alamo, Murcia, leaving his back legs paralysed. He is currently undergoing several types of therapy in order to repair the damage to his nerves, and it is thought that he will be able to walk again with the necessary love and care. If you are interested in taking Luque on please call 634 324 262.

ALL cats need regular grooming because it helps to keep their coat in good condition and prevents them from swallowing too much fur when they wash themselves. Short haired cats should be groomed at least once a week and long haired cats every day. It is best to use a bristle brush and a metal comb. Before you start, it’s wise to introduce them to grooming, step by step as you may scare them off. Start off by stroking them, as this is also a good way of getting rid of excess fur anyway. Grooming can

Therapeutic grooming for cats strengthen the bond between cat and owner and gives you the opportunity to check other aspects of your cat’s health by examining the eyes, teeth and paws. The most important things to check when grooming, are their ears, which can be checked for mites and it’s also advisable to check around their head and neck

ACE CHARITY “El Refugio” in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call 952 113 467, available from 10.00am until 14.00pm. (93319) SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public week-ends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepe online.net (93321)

AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875. Visit our website www.sos-an imals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way. (93317)

Chinese take over Lotus By Matthew Elliott CHINESE corporations are making major advances into the global motoring industry. Giant car manufacturer Geely has just announced that it will take over both Proton and Lotus. The multinational based in Hangzhou already owns Volvo and the London Taxi Company. Geely is taking over the parent company of British sports car maker Lotus and Malaysian-based Proton, DRB-Hicom. The Chinese firm beat off stiff competition from Peugeot and saw its shares skyrocket on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The expansion gives Geely a major name in Lotus which, despite making substantial losses in recent years, retains a giant reputation in the motoring world. It also gives Geely control of a huge Protonowned production plant in Malaysia with capacity to produce

150,000 cars per year. Now the 13th biggest manufacturer in the world, Geely sold roughly 300,000 cars before linking up with Volvo. Last year it sold 1.3 million and top executives plan to reach the three million mark soon, which would easily put it within the top 10 worldwide. There is debate over whether Geely can transform Proton’s flail-

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher

Jeep Renegade THE Jeep brand dates back more than 70 years, and is widely known as ‘the American legend.’ While these days Jeep is owned by the Fiat Group, the marque still retains its tough formidable image. The Cherokee may be the bes t-kn o wn n a m e i n th e Jeep line-up, but the smaller Reneg a d e , a c o m p ac t crossover model, is making its mark, appealing to those who want a cool street image yet when necessary, genuine four-wheel drive capability. M an y m o d e l s i n th e SUV/Crossover sector have either two-wheel drive or a rather limited 4WD system which cannot cope with difficult terrain. All Jeep 4x4 models can calibrate the differential to maximise grip and control in snow, mud or on rough rocky terrain. But though the Renegade is a rough-stuff mud-plugger, its distinctive visual cachet me a n s y o u c a n s till park outside a trendy cafe and make a style statement. Renegade prices start at €21,050 (£18,250), with petrol a n d d i e se l o p t io n s and 2WD or 4WD. Many buyers opt for upper range versions laden with extra

RENEGADE: A distinctive visual cachet.

Model tested is UK-specification and equipment levels and prices may vary in other markets.

Stats panel: Model: Jeep Renegade Limited Engine: 2.0 litre diesel Transmission: 9-speed automatic Performance: 0-100 kph 9.9 seconds, top speed 182kph (113 mph) Economy: 17.2 kpl (48.7 mpg) Emissions: 150 g/km

k it, an d L imite d mo de ls start at €27,998 (£24,265). My test model was a Limited in 4WD form with auto transmission and with the 138 hp 2.0 litre diesel engine, and that combination costs €33,507 (£29,050). For that you get a comprehensive spec which includes touchscreen infotainment centre, DAB radio, Bluetooth and sat-nav, plus

alloy wheels, heated leather seats, front and rear parking sensors and plenty of safety features including lane departure and front-collision warnings. The Renegade’s styling is unmistakable - a plus-point in a sector which is quite image-conscious, and while it loves being off road, it is pleasant to drive on the tarmac, at least if the surface

is smooth. The firm suspension does jolt in potholes but otherwise, the ride quality in town driving is quite acceptable. The ove ra ll driving re finement is not as good as rivals such as the Skoda Yeti, Nissan Juke or Mini Countryman but you have to w e igh tha t a ga ins t the Jeep’s superior off-road ability and its more charismatic look. The 2.0 litre diesel engine pulls well, giving a nippy 0-100 kph time of 9.9 seconds and top speed of 182 kph (113 mph). Fuel economy is 17.2 kpl (48.7 mpg). The nine-speed auto gearbox is e xc e lle nt, giving smooth and fluid shifts. The cabin has a stand-out radically-styled dashboard, unlike anything else in the class. There is a logical layout of ins trume nts a nd switchgear and the touchscreen is quick to respond. There is space for four adults in comfort, or five if everyone’s friendly! Boot s pa c e is a de qua te a t 351 litres and expands to a useful 1,297 litres if the rear seats are folded. Only downsides - a deep load lip and the rear seat doesn’t go fully flat.

Most popular sports car AFTER storming into the European market, the Ford Mustang is now officially the most popular sports car on the planet. Last year more than 150,000 Mustangs were sold across the world, well ahead of major rivals Ferrari and Porsche. The Mustang’s surprisingly late entry to European markets made all the difference with sales outside the US leaping by more than 100 per cent. It was also the most popular 250hp plus sports car in the UK with almost 5,000 shifted in 2016.

Classic Car Club of Andalucia

The Tulip Rally NE of the best known, and historically important, rallies in the world is the Tulip Rally. It started in 1949 and was a long, tough rally that lasted about a week, mostly in Holland. It was especially popular in the 1950’s and 1960’s and was an integral part of the European Rally Championship which was hotly contested by the major motor manufacturers. It was always said ‘Win Rallies on the weekend, sell cars on Mondays!’ This was also the rally that invented the ‘Tulip’ system of rally navigation that is still used internationally today. The CCCA has it’s own well-developed system based on the Tulip method and makes navigation simple, universal and without need for languages or translations. The Tulip Rally is still an important event on the Historic European calendar and one of our members, Clément Eijffinger, has just returned from participating in this amazing rally. Here is what Clément had to say about the event:The 64th edition of the Tulpenrallye took place from May 7 to May 13. This international Historic Rally is meant for cars built before 1971 with

participants from Holland, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and the UK. This year the start was in Tegernsee in Germany, just below Munich. One of our club members Clément Eijffinger (NL) was one of over 200 participants in his Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce from 1967. The Rally took six long driving days on small and narrow roads with a total of over 2,500 kms. The route went from Germany, through Austria and Liechtenstein with the first overnight stop in Feldkirch. The next day the finish was near beautiful Colmar. From there on the classic cars went on to Strasbourg in France, continuing the next day to Luxembourg. On the final day the route went from Vaals (in the south of Holland) to Noordwijk, where the rally traditionally finishes (and where, in the past, has also been the starting point). Also this year some tough regularities and tests on The NürburgRing in Germany were included as part of the programme. Fortunately, most of the cars made it to the finish, only 10 cars had to retire from the Rally because of mechanical problems, which could not be solved by the breakdown service

that accompanied the classic cars during the whole of the rally. Some photos of Clément’s lovely, classic Alfa Romeo on the Tulip Rally are shown here. In July, two of our Club members (Jo Ramirez and Clément Eijffinger) are participating in the famous Ennstal Classic Rally in Austria. This is a three-day regularity event for classic cars. Always hugely popular with competitors and spectators alike, the event produces an amazing entry list with some of the world’s

The Gibraltar Rally Weekend LAST weekend saw our friends at the GCVA (Gibraltar Classic Vehicle Association) enjoy their annual weekend of classic motoring. This year was a huge success with a marvellous turn-out of over 100 classic cars which were on show all day on the Saturday in casemates Square. The cars also went on a really interesting tour of some of the sites in Gibraltar which was good for both participants and spectators alike. Many CCCA members journeyed to Gibraltar to enjoy this classic weekend. On the following day, Sunday, a special classic car run was organised by the GCVA and started from the Guadarcorte Park Hotel, near Algeciras. The route covered about 130kms taking in the most beautiful, picturesque area through the Alcornocales Park and the fabulous cork forests. A coffee stop was taken at the Hotel Brenaverde, then on through the Genal Valley and a drinks stop happily received at Los Reales in the Sierra Bermeja, before finishing at the Los Pedrejales Park and restaurante near to Estepona around 3.00pm. A most enjoyable and very well supported classic weekend!

THERE are still tickets available for this superb, annual event. Held at the Tamisa Golf Hotel, there will be canapés and cava on arrival. A superb dinner with all wines included with dining and dancing ‘al fresco’ around the pool and entertainment from one of the best performers on the coast, Johnny G. Tickets are only €40 pp and can be booked through Club vice-Chairman, Brian Ladd. brian.ladd8@gmail.com

CCCA coming events THE CCCA has pl ent y of events coming up, as always. The next Club night and dinner will be at the excellent Treetops restaurante at El Chaparral on Tuesday, June 6. With the weather settled we hope to be dining ‘al fresco’ outside on the terrace, under the stars which is always very pleasant. There will be a classic car run organised by Ian and Carol Giles on Saturday, June 10, but the route has yet to be finalised so information will be sent direct to members just before that date.

Further information on Classic Car Club of Andalucia events can be found on the Club’s website www.cccandalucia.com. Membership of this vibrant club is open to anyone owning a genuine classic car here in Spain. Saca tu coche clásico del garaje y diviértete con el.
