Road rage driver released THE Guardia Civil has released a driver arrested last weekend for ramming a family vehicle in Torreguadiaro. The accused slammed into the car containing a father and his three-yearold daughter 16 times in an attempt to force their vehicle out of the fast lane. Following the assault the BMW fled from police, leading them to shoot out the tyres in order to immobilise the reckless driver. After the vehicle crashed into a roundabout, officers arrested the culprit and found counterfeit tobacco in his possession as well as discovering he had stolen the vehicle the previous Thursday. The Union of Guardia Civil Officers has criticised the prosecution’s failure to apply for prison without bail after significant risk was posed to both citizens and police officers. The offender is now free to roam the streets of Sotogrande until prosecution proceedings are underway.

The clock is ticking By Ben Harris THERE are just 645 days left until the UK officially leaves the European Union with or without a deal. Already it is 85 days since the triggering of Article 50 and one year since the referendum and there has been little or no definitive action from the British government. The recent disastrous election result for the Conservatives, which saw them fall from a parliamentary majority to only the leading minority, has weakened the country’s control over Brexit proceedings. This is despite assurances from Prime Minster Theresa May that the election would strengthen the UK’s hand. Within the Conservative Party alone there is a confused message about the UK’s stance in negotiations. Mrs May has insisted that “no deal is better than a bad deal”; whilst the Chancellor Phillip Hammond recently
CAPITULATION: The UK’s Brexit secretary David Davies (left) and Michel Barnier last Monday. stated that no deal from the European Union would be “a very, very bad outcome.” With such a short time frame in which to untangle a 43-year relationship with the EU, the complications in the UK government question how prepared it is to handle the most difficult diplomatic negations in UK or EU history, in what will be a 27
versus one discussion. In contrast, EU negotiators appear prepared and well organised. Europe’s chief negotiator Michel Barnier, following his 2016 tour of member states, has outlined key priorities which must be settled before moving on to trade talks. These include citizen’s rights, the state of the Irish border and the contentious Brexit bill.
The complexity of such negotiations will not be complete until October 2017 at the earliest, but could run into early 2018. Barnier has stated that the talks will not progress until all 27 member states are satisfied with the outcomes. Despite assurances from David Davis that Barnier’s plans were negotiable and could turn into the “row of the summer,” the UK Brexit secretary immediately caved in to EU demands following the first round of talks on Monday June 19. Time for talks are further limited as the European Union aims to conclude negotiations by October 2018, which leaves the UK with less than a year to form trade arrangements before it is ejected with a deal in place or not. With Westminster in chaos and time marching on, the door to the EU remains open only until the day it is slammed firmly shut. Our view – page 8

Covert dog walkers POLICE raided a Fuengirola address dedicated to the sale of cocaine, arresting three members of the same family in the process. Officers had conducted undercover surveillance on the property for months, pretending to be innocent dog walkers. Once they were certain they were dealing with a substantial trafficking operation they launched the raid. Inside they found 233 packets of cocaine, a pistol, a rifle, ammunition, precision balances, almost €8,000 cash, £325 in Sterling and $100 US dollars. The major haul is more than enough to convict the two men and one woman, aged between 57 and 61, on drug dealing and weapons possession charges.

SPANISH FACTS OF LIFE...17 Spain’s seafaring traditions date back centuries, from the Conquest of the Americas started by Christopher Colombus in 1492 to having one of Europe’s largest fishing fleets today, and close to shore mariners continue to be guided by a legendary lighthouse which is steeped in folklore.

Tower of strength THE Torre de Hercules (Tower of Hercules) near the city of A Coruña in Galicia is the most ancient Roman lighthouse still in use today and widely considered to be the oldest in the world. According to a myth mixing Celtic and Greco-Roman themes, it marks the resting place of the grotesque giant Geryon, who was slain by the hero Hercules after a three-day battle. Hercules then buried the head of his foe alongside his weapons and ordered the lighthouse to be built on top, with an image of the structure atop a skull and crossbones appearing on A Coruña’s coat of arms. Another legend is recounted in Lebor Gabala Erenn, an 11th-century book, which tells how King Breogan, founding father of the Galician Celtic nation, built a tower so tall that his sons were able to spy a distant green land from the top, and that this vision lured them to sail to Ireland where they became ancestors of the Irish people. The tower is known to have been in use by the second century, when it was built, or possibly rebuilt, under the emperor Trajan (53-117 AD) following a Phoenician design which may have been modelled on the Lighthouse of

Dog beaches to open for summer THE Junta de Andalucia has given the go-ahead for the opening of two dog beaches in Marbella this summer. Miguel Diaz, councillor for Sustainability of Marbella, has said that the “increasing demand for dog zones over the last couple of years” has led to their decision to create the special sandy strips.
Diaz stressed that the canine-friendly areas have been commissioned in zones less favoured by beachgoers, as a means to ensure that “the dog zones do not interfere with bathers seeking to relax in the sun.” Owners must ensure their pets remain under control at all times, have up to date vaccinations and that their waste is disposed of correctly.

SHOCKING: The victim fell from Paseo de Blas Infante.
A 16-YEAR-OLD boy who plummeted tens of metres down the Tajo gorge in Ronda remains in critical condition. He is however displaying “small signs” of improvement and is “stable” according to Pepi Jurado, mayor of the victim’s home village Cañete la Real. It comes as the youngster was last Friday admitted to the intensive care unit of the Carlos Haya Regional Hospital, Malaga, after he fell from Paseo de Blas Infante near the historic town’s famous bullring. He had been participating in an end-of-year party alongside classmates, all of whom were drinking on the street in full knowledge of Local Police, and the circumstances leading to the incident are now being probed.
According to investigators, the unnamed victim was sitting on the wall above the gorge at about 1.40am when he lost his balance and plunged into the abyss. His rescue proved to be tricky, with hundreds of fellow revellers evacuated from the immediate area before firefighters eventually reached him with ropes and a stretcher after several hours. Ronda’s mayor, Teresa Valdenebro, called an immediate ban on street drinking throughout the city in the wake of the accident and pledged to “address and seek solutions regarding the botellon (people drinking on the street).” Meanwhile, rival politicians lined up to criticise the lack of security protocols relating to botellon, after the city hall failed to release a statement.

Hard or soft, we still have hope ONE year ago the UK voted to leave the EU. Much water has run under the bridge since that all-important referendum vote, though in reality little is still known about what Brexit will mean to individuals, including hundreds of thousands of British expats living in Spain. After the exit EU vote, initially little if anything was revealed as Britain prepared to put in place Article 50, thereby officially triggering its intention to divorce the EU. After months of middle-ground rumours on both sides of the English Channel and a change in power at 10 Downing Street, finally it was official and the countdown to the UK’s departure in 2019 began. Since then a General Election called by Theresa May has thrown the whole situation into further disarray. Hard Brexit, Soft Brexit, who knows? The only certainty is that the UK will leave and it could be another decade before the final exit i’s and t’s have been dotted and crossed. Despite the all-round uncertainty, most British expats individually hope for at least - if not all - their present rights to remain. As the saying goes: Never deprive someone of hope, it might be all they have!

He said that after several attempts to fix the situation, the Junta prefer to “look the other way, not wishing to help with it being such a complicated and difficult situation.”

The construction will focus on the reduction of energy consumption and aims to power the facility from 100 per cent renewable sources. ‘Green roofs’, essentially garden roofs, are expected to naturally regulate the temperature of the building whilst contributing to a reduction of air pollution in the area. The director stressed that, in terms of employment, the company will focus on groups at risk of exclusion.

Blooming bandit A UKRAINIAN man was arrested for the unusual crime of stealing two extremely rare and valuable flowers from a Costa del Sol garden. The two specimens were valued at €500 each and were stolen from Estepona’s botanical park. The 41-year-old was only caught because he actually went back to the scene of his crime to return the flowers. Officers were lying in wait, working on the correct hypothesis that the thief was likely an overzealous botanist who couldn’t resist taking them home for a few days.

BEACH RULES: Don’t go digging in the sand.
Feeling fine BEACHGOERS could be fined up to €3,000 this summer for breaching any of Malaga Council’s long-standing regulations on visiting the coast. A sun-filled day out could become expensive if bathers fish, use shampoo in showers, bring their dog, barbecue or use a stereo. With fines starting at
€300 for minor infractions and reaching thousands for the worst cases, it is important to be aware of the limitations of using these public spaces. The most serious offences are considered those which harm the environment, including littering, starting fires or barbecuing outside of permitted

Lower penalties are saved for digging in the sand or playing football less than six metres away from other bathers.

It’s the Real Full Monty! Elliott extreme right.
ON the 20th anniversary of the film The Full Monty, eight brave celebrities agreed to reenact the famous scene from the movie to increase cancer awareness. The theory was that men would be reminded of the need to have regular check-ups for this pernicious disease and women would be reminded of days gone past! The brave and initially nervous celebrities taking part were reality star and Mijas restaurateur Elliott Wright, McFly drummer Harry Judd, ballet dancer Wayne Sleep, former Olympic swimmer Mark Foster, Emmerdale actor Matthew Wolfenden, TV presenter Dom Littlewood, and Death in Paradise and Red Dwarf actor Danny John Jules, together
with host Alexander Armstrong. The celebrities had just six days to practise under the watchful eye of dancer Ashley Banjo before performing in front of TV cameras and an audience of thousands at the famed London Palladium. Elliott revealed the reason he decided to take part: “My dad got prostate cancer two years ago, and he wasn’t quick enough and it spread, and when prostate cancer spreads you can’t get rid of it.” The owner of Olivia’s in La Cala de Mijas and his father Eddie regularly become involved in local events to raise awareness of the dangers of prostate cancer and to raise funds for local charity Positively Blue.

No let up for historic heatwave in Spain UNUSUALLY high temperatures for the month of June across the whole of Spain look set to continue this week broken only by occasional thunderstorms. The whole of Spain remains on a high level of alert for wildfires especially after the tragedy that swept Portugal at the weekend. Madrid set an all-time June high temperature on Saturday
when the temperature reached 40.3ºC (104.5ºF) at Madrid-Barajas Airport. And last week also saw 44ºC (112ºF) recorded in Cordoba. Emergency services continue to warn of the dangers of the intense heat and have issued information about how to cope with the heat. The only relief from the higher
than normal temperatures will be isolated afternoon and evening thunderstorms that develop. However, a storm system approaching from the Atlantic could finally bring relief from this dangerous heat wave early next week.

Alberto decided to return to Malaga to grieve although his father was in Asturias and his brother in Hungary but he was so badly affected by his mother’s death that the ‘Black Cloud of Depression’ settled on him and he became more removed from everything he knew.

A visibly proud mayor of Marbella, Jose Bernal, said that “we are renewing the six flags, showing we are a benchmark in Andalucia for the care our town halls have taken to ensure the cleanliness of our beaches,” before adding “we will continue working to increase the number of flags and continue to gain even more quality spaces.” Bernal has announced that he wants to appeal the existing requirements for blue flag status beaches, as he claims Rio Verde is “a magnificent beach, but does not have accreditation.”

refugees,” stated Miguel Briones, Malaga sub delegate of the national government. The incident occurred as a direct consequence of an unforeseen increase in refugee boats, authorities said. Since January this year, the council has processed a total of 762 refugees, compared to 216 in the same period of 2016. “We are working to make funds available in order to cope with the higher volumes of refugees,” added Briones.

With more than 16,000 bars, Andalucia has more places to drink than any other community, but the number per thousand is much lower than the national average at 1.95 with many of the highest scoring towns being in Axarquia, well ahead of so-called party towns such as Marbella and Torremolinos.

Should all owners pay all community costs? Community Law Corner By José Luis Navarro Solicitor for Intercala Administration
joseluis@intercala.com www.intercala.com
with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches
ALTHOUGH some owners always disagree, the law which governs all communities throughout Spain, the Law of Horizontal Property is quite clear; owners must contribute to the overheads and running costs of their community accordingly, unless there is a clause in the community statutes or an agreement that specifically relieves an owner of this obligation. Owners argue; “my family never use the pool so why should we pay for it” or “I’ve never paid before why now” and “I voted against this, so I’m not paying” and so it goes on (and on). Whether owners agree or choose to use their existing facilities is not the point. Where it is laid down that certain owners do not have to pay for this, that
or the other, then those owners are indeed exempt. These exemptions could be specified in their deeds, as a result of a decision passed (correctly) at a community general meeting or in the original community statutes. A typical example concerns the lifts in an apartment block where shops and premises on the ground floor are exempt for paying for the maintenance and cleaning of lifts. Why, because the community agrees these owners never have need or reason to use the lifts. Another, owners of the exterior parking and garages are not required to pay for the upkeep of the internal gardens as they do not have the necessary permission or access to the communal gardens. Some costs can be identified and should be individualised. For example where there is only one water meter and one water bill for the entire complex or block. If the community has subsequently installed individual water meters to the apartments or houses, the Law of Horizontal Property allows for
the water bill to be divided by the community and attributed to each owner according to their consumption. Direct debits, if they are refused by the owner’s bank and charges are incurred, those costs can be passed on to the individual owners. Another issue arises when some owners vote against approving the annual budget or vote against approving extra payments for a new installation or unforeseen maintenance costs and decide not to pay. Regardless of how an owner votes or if the owner was present at the meeting or not - provided the issue was on the agenda - then once approved by a majority decision, all owners are bound to pay their part. There are some exceptions. When an installation or service is not deemed as legally necessary for; conservation, habitability, accessibility or safety then owners who voted against the proposal can possibly opt out of the payment. Repairing a crumbling façade or damp proofing a roof is usually considered as necessary for
conservation and habitability, a ramp for wheelchairs improved accessibility and a handrail a necessary safety feature. These costs should usually be borne by the entire community and are either included in or regarded as an additional community fee. Whereas a new squash court would not be considered necessary in any sense. Likewise and especially regarding renewable energy installations and telecommunications. If a community decides to install communal cable TV, fibre optic internet or solar energy panels, any owners who choose not to vote in support of the installation should not be obliged to contribute towards the cost later. Of course they should not be able to use these new facilities either and where possible be denied access to them. Generally speaking all owners have to pay but situations vary therefore we the solicitors for Intercala Community Administration advise our readers to seek competent advice in all matters regarding community law.

Night of fire! A celebration defined by fireworks, jumping in the sea at midnight and leaping over flames, the San Juan bonfires festival is one of the main events on the Spanish cultural calendar. Taking place on June 23, the shortest night of the year, it is a magical celebration that ushers in the summer season.
What the blazes? THE earliest roots of San Juan can be traced back to an ancient Pagan tradition, centred around the belief that the shortest night of the year meant the least amount of time that evil spirits were able to roam freely, which was a cause for celebration. In later years, this festival merged with the Catholic celebration of Saint John the Baptist giving the festival its name. The memorable image of the bonfires on the beach started as a symbol of worship to the sun at the beginning of its most powerful months. It is also a way to ward off the evil spirits and witches who were thought by the Pagans to be at their most po we r f ul a s th e s u n s ta rte d it’s movement southwards. The burning of effigies over the flames,
originally of Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus, has in recent times transformed into setting likenesses of local and national celebrities alight, and is said to bring them good luck. Jumping over the open flames of the bonfire will bring luck and clean the soul for the year to follow. San Juan is all about fresh starts and plunging into the sea at midnight is a key part of this. According to legend, washing your face three times in the water will allow you 12 months of happiness and luck, eternal beauty, and three wishes which will come true before the next year. Wherever San Juan is celebrated, it’s important to remember the ancient superstitions which surround this magical night.
Stay safe for San Juan
SPARKS FLY: Hundreds of injuries are reported each year.
T H E S p a n i s h l o v e a ff a i r with grand spectacles based around fire is reflected in most of the nation’s summer festivals. San Juan is perhaps the biggest of them all with many of the key attractions involving fire, fireworks and pyrotechnic marvels. These displays are among the reasons that San Juan is such a popular event, but it is important to stay safe when on the beach. Lighting bonfires is strictly prohibited in most areas. This rule is in place to protect environments which are
fragile and stop fires from being lit where they are likely to spread out of control. The San Juan celebrations in 2011 earned notoriety after six people were killed across Spain. Authorities also recorded many injuries most of which were burns. The Spanish government’s desire to protect their own culture resulted in them overturning an attempt by the European Union to improve fire safety in 2009 which could have contributed to avoiding in-
stances like those which occurred in 2011. The EU directives included banning under-12s from handling fireworks and requiring that everyone stands at least 15 metres from firework displays. These measures were deemed to be an attack on Spain’s cultural heritage and resulted in protests across Mediterranean regions. However, over the last 15 years the number of injuries has been decl i ni ng and on the whole safety during San Juan is improving, according to local authorities.

From Malaga to Mallorca Most towns and villages will stage their own version of the San Juan celebrations, with local council websites tending to be best for information. Alicante ALICANTE is known for the sheer size of the San Juan festivities which take place there. Celebrations commenced last Tuesday with bonfires on the beach which are lit in the evening and continue until Saturday. Every year since 1932, Alicante has elected a Bellea del Foc (Beauty of the Fire) to lead the celebrations. The job requires the chosen lady to host events and kick start festivities all over the city. This year’s representative is Sofia Escoda, aged 22. In the Plaza de los Luceros from today (Thursday) to Saturday an impressive pyrotechnic display, known as a mascleta, will take place at 2pm. Introduced by the Bellea Del Foc this event follows in the San Juan tradition of being very busy and extremely loud. The international Folklore Parade takes place down the main street in Al-

icante on Friday June 23. This parade is a celebration of mostly Latin American cultures, with displays from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Peru. For a few hours bands, floats, and dancers will move down the street in an intense display of colour and life. The Brazilian dancing ladies are the last performers every year and are
known to be the highlight of the event. At a minute past midnight on Saturday spectators gather on Postiguet beach for an enormous fireworks display followed by the traditional dive into the sea. Nightly firework displays will then continue until Thursday June 29 as part of an international competition.
Malaga SAN JUAN is a huge part of the local culture in Malaga, where locals tend to build many smaller fires on certain permitted beaches. The most popular city beaches to visit are Misericordia and La Malagueta, where fireworks and bonfires will draw huge crowds. Free access to an event organised by MegaStar FM Radio will start at 9.30pm on Malagueta beach. Musicians and DJs will perform throughout the night including Borja Rubio, Henry Mendez, Feder, DJ Valdi, Barei, Alex Guerro, K-Narias, and Calum. At a minute to midnight tomorrow (Friday) the rag dolls, known as Juas,

ACCORDING to the Spanish General Council of Economists association (CGE), tax evasion is costing the economy more €25 billion a year. The main problem appears to be the fact that many Spaniards believe that tax evasion in one form or another is fair game, especially when so many politicians and industrialists have been proven not only to be tax evaders but in many cases have got away with it. Whilst foreign-born footballers

JAPANESE: A typical Wagamama restaurant.
Wagamama group arrives in Spain THE Wagamama group of restaurants founded in the UK 25 years ago has granted a franchise to a Spanish company, Grupo Vips. The concept of the restaurant is to produce fast paced and tasty food based on the concept of Japanese ramen (noodle) bars offering a celebration of Asian food with guests sharing long tables. Grupo Vips already operates 350 outlets throughout Spain which includes Vips cafés, Ginos, TGI Fridays and Starbucks
Coffee, so has good knowledge of running franchised operations for foreign companies. The first two Wagamama restaurants are now open in Madrid and the group expects to open a further 20 eateries in main cities throughout the country creating 1,000 jobs. For those on the Costa del Sol who want to try this popular version of Japanese food, a Wagamama restaurant was opened in Ocean Village Gibraltar in 2016 and is going strong.

A major row has broken out over a decision made several years ago to charge officials from those three countries who sat on a privatisation panel. They are accused of alleged embezzlement and breach of duty but the accusation which is supported by a number of Greek lawyers has dragged on since 2015 without going to trial. Now the three countries have lost patience with the Greek government and want the matter resolved if the loan is to proceed.

Taxi drivers and councils complain WHILST the concept of the ‘sharing economy’ seemed like a good idea at the time, the European Parliament feels that new legislation is needed. The definition of a sharing economy is an economic model in which individuals are able to borrow or rent assets owned by someone else. The two most obvious examples of this concept are best represented by companies like Airbnb and Uber and these two companies as well as others offering similar services have been the cause of much criticism as well as some praise in Spain. The concept is social media based and sees individuals able to rent properties in major cities and towns or order ‘mini cabs’ for transportation. In the case of private room hire, both local authorities and many residents are opposed to the concept as the authorities argue that the rentals avoid tax and flout rental regulations whilst locals see long term rental prices either increasing or the availability of property decreasing. With private car hire, taxi drivers are up in arms as they are not only being undercut, but the value of a taxi licence which can be sold on, has been seen as a form of pension as at one time it was worth well in excess of €100,000 and is now dropping in value. The European Parliament passed a non-binding resolution asking for measures across the Union in order to fight abuse and ensure that these platforms respect workers’ and consumer’s rights as well as ensuring that they also meet their tax obligations. To some extent, a number of countries don’t feel that there is a major problem with these companies, as they tend to generate new employment opportunities but others are concerned that they need to be regulated to ensure that taxes in particular are paid by both the companies finding the clients and those performing the service.

European Parliament wants to control sharing economy
SPANISH MEP Sergio Gutiérrez spoke in the debate.
There is also a need to ensure that consumers are protected in the event that anything goes wrong as it is feared that adequate insurances may not be in place nor are there clear paths for complaints or fair adjudication. It is also felt in Brussels that there is a need to differentiate between individual providers of services and professionals as it appears that in Barcelona alone, a high proportion of the properties advertised for short term let are owned by just a few professionals who give the impression that they are private individuals.
CRANES SIGNAL BETTER TIMES ON COAST
Sky-high sign! CRANES on Costa del Sol skylines are a clear indication that after years of hard times, things are steadily returning to more normality locally, especially in construction. While things may generally be in a state of flux in the UK with the General Election and the lengthy Brexit negotiations still to take any definite direction, sky-high cranes on building sites in southern Spain are an indicator that the local building industry and property are in healthy recovery. No-one politically or in property is saying it is back to the boom times in Spain of the early noughties (2000 2006), but more than fledgling shoots are now apparent of a recovering healthier construction industry. “In the last eight years cranes on the sky-line have been basically non existent,” said one local developer who asked not to be named said. “But just look around, now there are cranes everywhere, a sign that the con-

struction world is on the move, and while many properties remain with For Sale signs up, some of the new developments are proving really popular. “And let’s face it, there are few places better than the Costa del Sol to live, not just in Europe, but in the world.” A Brit expat who moved to El Faro from Abu Dhabi in 2006 just before the property bubble burst said: “Little has developed around here in recent years, but now on our urbanisation three villas are being upgraded by new foreign
owners and in nearby La Cala there are six or seven cranes on the sky-line. “It’s not like Dubai where I once counted 39 cranes on the sky-line, but things are definitely moving positively, which is great to see.” There is a certain irony that the ‘Bad Bank’ Sareb which is managed by a consortium of ‘Good Banks’ and the Spanish government has a huge stock of older property which was surrendered during the financial crisis, but people appear more interested in purchasing brand new property.
City finance danger IT is being suggested that the European Commission will require oversight of major euroclearing operations currently undertaken in London following Brexit. To a government that has indicated that it wants to leave the European Union in order to gain more freedom, such a demand will most likely be anathema. The problem however is that if it can’t agree to this demand then a number of firms currently operating in London are likely to have no option other than to move their euro dealing to an EU member state. This will have an immediate impact on the importance of London as a major currency centre which will see a loss of jobs and the disappearance of hundreds of billions of euro deal transactions. At the end of the day, whilst not the friendliest of moves, the EU negotiators will argue that their role is to do what is best for the remaining 27 states, even if the UK loses out.
Swiss bank buys in Madrid SWISS Bank UBS has spent €35.15 million to purchase two large warehouse properties in Madrid through its Asset Management division. Using clients’ funds to purchase the properties, it has already secured tenants on long term leases which will generate a regular income for its investment clients. This is a very attractive market for the bank as the Spanish economy recovers and industry needs to expand but may not have funds available in order to purchase property, so leasing is a workable option. At one time the Chinese were purchasing large numbers of large commercial properties, whilst the Russians were taking smaller commercial properties looking for quick returns. Certainly USB gives the impression that it sees itself in Spain for some considerable time.

Typical Hydro-Electric Dam.
EWN online Join the conversation on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/e uroweeklynews
Spanish to be busy in Africa AFTER 30 years of planning, the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo is slightly closer to building a colossal dam with Spanish help. The intention has been to create a huge hydro-electric facility to increase the power supply to the capital Kinshasa and also to allow the Congolese to export electricity to South Africa. There are currently two companies bidding for this construction work, ACS from Spain and the Three Gorges Corporation from China and in an unusual
move, the Congolese government has asked the two competing companies to work together in order to undertake and complete the job more quickly. Although no decision has been made as yet by the two corporations, the concept may be attractive as it would cut the financial ris k to e a c h c ompa ny a s the country has a history of instability and as recently as last year, the World Bank withheld a $73 million (€65 million) gra nt which was to be put towards the project.
The fall out starts for Banco Popular directors ALTHOUGH the decision to sell the Banco Popular to Santander for €1 was prompted by the European Central Bank, repercussions are now being felt. Even the Spanish government appears in hindsight to question the hurried decision and now wants to know the thinking behind the accountants Deloitte’s review of the Bank which supposedly had €1.3 billion of assets at the time of the sale. This report was not immediately published, but has been criticised by Banco Popular shareholders and privately in part by the Bank of Spain according to reports. Almost 10,000 private shareholders, represented by the OCU consumer body are suing
the directors of Banco Popular in respect of their losses as their shares are now worthless and other parties are accusing the board of false accounting and possible fraud. Emilio Saracho the Spanish businessman and adviser to the hugely successful Inditex was appointed as President of Banco Popular in December 2016 and claims that in the runup to his appointment, he was not aware of the real financial state of the bank, He admits that he may have made mistakes, especially at an April shareholder meeting where comments made led to the start of the fall of the bank’s shares, but he will work with Santander for three months as the hand over continues.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT I DON’T think I have been more disillusioned with a Conservative leader since the disastrous tenure of Edward Heath. ‘Course we should all have seen it coming. For a remainer, who became an enthusiastic hard line Brexiteer virtually overnight, purely to ingratiate herself with what she and her more than useless advisors saw as the public’s ‘mood, Ms May just didn’t seem to sit right from the start. From that point she has lumbered from one ill-advised disaster to the next. Couple that with her apparent reluctance and total inability to confront anyone in public and I think we could be in serious trouble with our negotiations at the table of the esteemed EU hardliners. A bitter malicious bunch who would be delighted to see our whole country join Atlantis on the sea bed of abject failure and utter ruin.
Against such opposition I’m afraid Ms May simply won’t hack it. Despite all the hype, and hope that we had discovered a new ‘Iron Lady,’ Margaret Thatcher she most certainly aint. ‘Putty woman’ would be a far more apt title. The sooner she is replaced as leader the better. Unless she produces some dramatic morphing and we discover we have somehow misjudged her and, heaven forbid, she is still at the helm when we go to the country again, the Conservatives will lose the next election. As things are at the moment, the best we can all be prepared for is a soft Brexit, which basically means we may as well not have had a referendum at all. I am more than a little disgusted at the blatant way the Grenfell disaster was twisted into a political issue. Particularly by the Labour party, who wasted no time in using it as a photographic and propaganda opportunity, even down to one member who said the cladding was done because of complaints from the ‘rich’ neighbours that the building

Sir Leapy doesn’t sound right was an eyesore in the area. Oh and by the way Mr Corbyn, despite the incompetence of its leader, you did actually, quite heavily lose the election to the Tories... Just saying! Personally I’ve had a pretty good past week. Apart from a number of people that pointed out that, with reference to my last column, hens do the laying and people do the lying! ( Yeah yeah!) I now have all three books of my autobiographical trilogy on Kindle and Amazon (Adults and broad-minded readers only OK?), I also received some great news from my Stage Musical co-writer that our project is to be produced in Australia at the end of the year. So it’s onward and upward from the ol’ boy. Thanks to all concerned. Only disappointment was being passed over in the ‘list’ again this year. Ah well, never did think Sir Leapy sounded right anyway.

A master class in how to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory Nora Johnson

WITH headlines ranging from ‘May The Farce Be With You’ and ‘Theresa Back From The Dead’ to ‘The Maybot Rebooted As Strong And Humble. Stumble For Short,’ we witnessed a master class in how to lose a general election, snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory. Theresa May lost her majority through a combination of hubris, incompetence and personality. Having billed herself as a great tactician, she made serious errors of judgement. Her stiff, formal language and reliance on pointless slogans endeared her to few voters. And while Corbyn inspired
the young, she (with the ‘dementia tax’) terrified the old. She apparently learnt nothing from last year’s EU referendum, failing to put forward a coherent, unifying, energetic vision, relying instead on trying to frighten the electorate with dire warnings about voting for the opposition. Didn’t work then, didn’t work now. The major problem facing the Conservatives is the mast they’ve pinned their sails to. Theresa May isn’t Margaret Thatcher. Never was, never will be. Thatcher had a clear vision regarding what she wanted to accomplish and didn’t hesitate to appoint ministers with the ability - and freedom - to implement that vision even if they were potential rivals. And she wasn’t opposed to taking risks: not just the Falklands war, but commitment to the EU single market and outspoken opposition to the euro. Theresa May appears risk
averse. Her sole face-to-face TV ‘debate’ was with her husband, while as Home Secretary she could have redesigned a department unfit for purpose for decades. Border/immigration control, the police force, the deportation of foreign criminals and illegal immigrants and asylum process all in disarray. It was only with the police force she really got involved but concentrating more upon confrontation with the police federation rather than root and branch reform. She wasn’t dubbed the ‘submarine’ for nothing. Election after election it’s the same, right? A bit like each new M&S ‘fashion collection,’ when we keep getting as-
sured: “Oh, there’s some really wearable stuff this time.” Or a bit like a desperate ex who keeps promising he’s changed but he never does...

THURSDAY THOUGHTS By Angus Silvie, Axarquía
A street view is best WHEN you live on the eighth floor of a Spanish apartment block, overlooking the main avenue in the town, a quick glance to the street below can turn into 10 minutes before you know it. There is always a lot going on! Car horns generally are a bit of a dilemma as human nature dictates that when you hear a loud ‘parp!’ you are intrigued to see what might be going on, so more often than not I expectantly rush to the window only to be rewarded by the sight of a driver who has spotted someone they know on the pavement, or the gas bottle lorry arriving at the petrol station opposite and announcing his arrival with a series of unnecessary toots. Neither event sets the heart racing with excitement. I heard a short toot and a bang once, but the bangs are usually someone closing a communal bin lid right underneath so I tend to ignore them. It was only when some shouting was heard a bit later that I glanced down and saw a long queue of cars stuck behind an Audi sporting a smashed-in bonnet and a detached bumper. In front of it, the owner of a little work van with a crumpled backside (the car, not the owner) was gesturing unhappily at the Audi owner, who was shrugging his shoulders as though it was nothing to do with him. The entertainment then came in watching all the cars behind trying to reverse back up the road and re-route via the side lane. Further hilarity ensued when the crumpled van owner and the Audi owner decided to push their cars across a pedestrian crossing onto the side road, thereby blocking the last few re-routed cars who had just spent ages reversing up the main road, requiring them to then re-reverse back onto the main road again. I’ll bet they weren’t laughing as much as I was.

Protect your home before your holiday LIVING on the Costa del Sol might seem like one long holiday but most of us still like to get away over the summer months for a change of scene or to escape the intense heat. Of course, you will have your Ibex Travel Insurance policy in place for your trip but do you give enough thought to protecting your home whilst you are away? Here are a few tips to follow which might prevent a stressful return home. • Lock all doors and windows. Blindingly obvious as this may be, it is easy to overlook a window or a garage door and a burglar will thank you for it! • Keep valuables out of sight. Maybe you will keep the shutters down but if not then move valuables away from prying eyes. • Turn everything off at the socket. Unless you are away for a very long time it is likely that you will keep the fridge and freezer on but disconnect everything else. • Drain the water tank and switch off water at the mains. If you can’t do this because you need to keep an irrigation system going then talk to your insurance broker to check your cover. Return home to water damage is much more likely than returning to a home that has been burgled. • Don’t advertise your absence. Until you get home, keep the fact that you are away to
close friends and family. Don’t say that you are ‘away’ on a phone answer message. This, of course, includes how you use social media. A prospective burglar would love to know that you are on a beach in Florida! • Lighting. Security lighting is a deterrent to would be thieves and indoor lights on timers can give the impression that people are at home. You could maybe put a radio on a timer too! • Alarm system. Alarms are good, alarms linked to security firms are better. • Tell a neighbour that you trust. They can keep an eye on the property, water plants etc. • Check your insurance policy. Are you covered for loss or damage if you are away for more than a certain number of days? Do you have all risks cover for certain valuables and possessions that you take away on holiday with you? Are there security conditions attached to your policy? Taking out an insurance policy with the cover you need is important so visit your local Ibex offices at Benavista, Estepona and Fuengirola or call us on 952 887 125 or 952 581 561. As your local insurance broker Ibex can find the policy to meet your needs.

Anybody got any ideas? Mike Senker
In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man ALTHOUGH this is called the views of a grumpy old man there are days that as grumpy as I start the day, something happens and even I have to just smile and today was one of those days. Today is June 18 - Father’s Day. I got a text from my daughter at 8.45am saying she had just woken up and wanted to wish me Happy Father’s Day and she was going back to sleep as she had had a late night but she would Facetime me later. I sent her a message back saying ‘thanks and chat later.’ Most Sundays we walk the dog along the Paseo in Los Boliches, then have a coffee and watch the world go by. Today was no different. We walked our dog, had coffee and were chit chatting away and then Mrs S said that I should send our daughter a video thanking her for my card and telling her I was having a nice day. So I said OK, Mrs S starts filming and all of a sudden I feel a tap on my shoulder and there she is - my baby girl! The crafty so and so had tricked her supposedly shrewd old man and at 8.45am she was actually boarding the plane to Malaga. She had set the whole thing up with her Mum
whose mission was to keep me on the Paseo until 1pm. Mission successful. I am thrilled she is here till Wednesday and I’m going to love every minute of it. Ok that’s enough of that mushy stuff. Back to being grumpy. I just got back from Croatia after a week’s holiday with 14 blokes to celebrate one’s 60th birthday. I have to say Croatia is a beautiful place. Good food and friendly people. We went to an island called Vis and it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. The only way round it is by boat so we had great fun. So what’s there to be grumpy about you may ask. Well I’ll tell you. Although they do accept euros their actual currency is the kuna. So, I got some from one of the lads coming out from the UK and also from an ATM. On the way back to Spain I stayed in Split overnight and went to the local casino and won some more in a poker tournament. All good stuff. Anyway, I come back to Spain and go to my favourite bureau de change and asked them to change the kuna for me. ‘No can do - we don’t change kuna, you have to go to the bank. I went to my bank and, guess what, they won’t change them either! Now I’m trying to change money from Croatia, not some country where the local currency is sea shells and chicken livers. Anybody got any ideas? Because I just don’t get it. Email me mikesenker@gmail.com.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Fines for not moving 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.
DIRTY CAR?: You could be fined.
NOT washed your car in a while? Well be careful, you could be fined for that! Many drivers are unaware they could be fined without even being on the road or moving their car, but these fines do exist and are real. Even if the vehicle isn’t moving, the lights, reflectors and number plates must be kept clear and if the vehicle is moving, the windows must be clear also. A fine of €80 can also be issued if officers decide your number plate is in a poor condition. If you do need to wash your car, be careful where you do it, hand washing a vehicle in the street or carrying out repairs can also result in a penalty for the owner. Water, oil and other deposits can interfere with the road surface and can become a risk. There are also environmental concerns over the disposal of waste such as water or other fluids. Car wash facilities have complex recycling and drainage systems so as to minimise
waste of the precious commodity of water. Remember you can also be fined for smoking at petrol stations which poses a serious safety risk, but also for leaving your engine running, your radio or or for using your mobile. Any of these activities can result in a fine of up to €200 and the loss of three points. You can also be fined for moving house and not informing the DGT of your new address. In the event of an accident or breakdown, you can be fined for not wearing a high visibility face or for not placing the warning triangles around the vehicle warning others of your presence. So remember, whilst speeding and driving whilst using a mobile phone are the two most common reasons to be fined, there are also ways you can be fined without even moving.

INTERVIEW
22 - 28 June 2017 / Costa del Sol

Nik Prescott is the Store Manager of Oak Land Furniture in Spain
From strumming the strings to knocking the wood M
any people have a career change although not as extreme as local man and resident of Spain for over 10 years Nik Prescott. Nik originally from Hull started out after school by joining the Royal Navy where he served around the world on many ships for more than 10 years and whilst sailing on the high seas to pass the time he learnt to play the guitar when in his cabin and not on duty serving his country. He returned to Hull after his service had finished and took his self-taught talents as his next profession, setting up a firstly a music shop as well as then taking professional lessons to further improve his guitar skills. Once fully tuned, he soon ended up touring the UK with a number of bands as lead guitarist especially with tribute band Badness which turned out to be great fun. Having travelled the world with the Royal Navy for so many years and with a dislike for rain and cold, Nik embarked on another adventure as he packed his strings and headed to the Costa del Sol. On arrival in Spain and the sunny climates he desired, Nik carved a living from the music scene there and in Portugal, but whilst a living could be
made the biggest challenge he faced was backing tracks. It appears that a number of artists in the Costa use backing tracks for their evening slots so a backing track replaces the need for a good old fashioned blues guitarist. Happily Nik was in demand from another area as schools were crying out for music teachers and that was his next destination, back to the classroom, teaching children music which he thought would be his future in Spain until a totally freak meeting. During the school holidays in 2016 he went to breakfast at Scoffers Cafe on Fuengirola sea front. Whilst relaxing and enjoying his favourite coffee overlooking the deep blue Mediterranean, he noticed another gentleman sat down doing lots of paperwork which he thought both strange and a little different to the standard seaside appearance. This intrigued Nik, so using the language of the world of football he entered into a conversation with the paper laden gentleman. After swopping tales and sharing woes for Hull City FC and West Ham United it transpired that he was chatting away with the Managing Director of Oak Land Furniture Spain, who explained that all the paper work was in regards to the pending opening of the first store in Spain and the launch of their na-
tional website offering delivery across Spain of all their products. Nik was astounded to be told after around an hour of conversation that he was the perfect person the company was looking for to run the new store and would he be interested? At first Nik couldn’t take it all in, one minute he was enjoying the holiday school break over a relaxing coffee and now after a general chit chat he was being offered a major role with a complete difference to what he had ever done before. When he questioned why him? The reply came on a serviette listed in bullet points. A. You’re polite B. You’re not pushy C. You’re intelligent D. You’re a people’s person We will teach you the rest! Within a day Nik accepted the position on the basis that if a company as recognised as Oak Land Furniture were to select him the way they had, they must think he had potential and to work for such a large business too would be an honour especially in a dedicated management role. It wasn’t long before Nik was sent back to
DINING TABLE: In quality oak. NIK PRESCOTT: Strumming the strings.
the UK for full training to learn the unique sales points of the fantastic products as well as the company ethic prior to return for the San Pedro de Alcantara opening.
I like to offer a friendly service and a personal service. In Nik’s own words “I left Spain a musician and returned to Spain as a wood furniture specialist.” Over an intense period of training, he assimilated every aspect to the vast choice of ranges and products to every little detail of not only 100 per cent solid oak furniture, but painted furniture too and also the qualities of fabric and leather sofas. The store eventually opened in October 2016 and Nik took up his new role with pleasure. To date he has already assisted over 900 ordering customers in just eight months and is looking forward to the day he assists his 1,000th customer and openly says he will give that customer his order totally free when they come
into the store to celebrate. Nik explained when we asked him what the key to his success was; “Well firstly it’s the quality of the products and the brand, it’s exceptional and the customers coming in store clearly see that. I’m no salesman but I’m now fully trained as a furniture specialist so all I have to do is advise when asked. “I like to offer a friendly service and a personal service to the expats here in Spain who want a quality product, I understand fully that customers don’t like pushy salesman because I don’t like them myself! “Each customer I like to think I give a full and helpful service understanding their needs and requirements on a personal basis. Whilst we are a global brand there’s no reason why you can’t give a full personal service when a customer comes to see me and that’s exactly what I offer. “Every customer through the door has a requirement and at all times I hope I cater to their needs. I’m just Nik in the grand scale of things and give my full attention to everybody’s requirements whether it be a single bedside cabinet to a full house furnish.” Nik has also now installed Lola Lopez in the store too as he admits his Spanish isn’t the greatest and desires the Spanish customers to receive exactly the same service as he offers the expats. So if you are looking for that personal service and quality solid oak furniture or a quality sofa Nik Prescott is your man! www.oaklandfurniturespain.com

Minute’s silence
© EWN MEDIA GROUP
Security breach
A ONE-MINUTE silence was observed by all government of Gibraltar offices and departments at noon yesterday to pay respect to the victims of the two London tragedies. The Chief Minister and the government stood alongside local religious leaders to remember those caught up in both the Grenfell Tower fire and the attack on the Finsbury Park mosque.
OPPOSITION party the GSD has complained about the state of the border fence which has serious implications with regards to possible breaches of security. Whilst much has been made of the fight against smuggling and increased security against random attacks, the party suggests that holes in the fence are an invitation for those who wish to break the law.

Brexit news IN recognition that Brexit talks between Britain and the EU had restarted, Chief Minister Fabian Picardo spoke with two of the British government ministers involved. He first spoke with Secretary of State at the Department for Exiting the European Union, Robin Walker MP stressing the need for Gibraltar to be get informed and then Sir Alan Duncan of the Foreign Office.
AN article in the Gibraltar Chronicle has revealed that one of the first firemen to enter the inferno that was Grenfell Tower in Kensington was a Gibraltarian Russell Gomez. The 31-year-old was part of a four man team from the Paddington Fire Station that helped save a woman on the 21st floor and it is believed that this was the highest rescue of the night. The firefighters braved the heat and smoke to make their ascent of the 24-storey building and having found her, they then had to face the arduous task of bringing her down to safety. This one act of bravery however
was not the end of their work as after taking a short amount of time to rest, they returned to the building in the hope of rescuing other survivors and to fight the fire. Although there has been some very harsh criticism concerning the possible reasons for the fire and the slow response to assist those who have lost everything, there has been nothing but praise for the bravery of all of the firemen who risked their lives to try to save others. The firefighter ’s family has a heritage of service in the brigade as his father also served in London whilst his grandfather was part of the Gibraltar Fire Brigade.

Others may be changing their minds, and generally being a bit of a pain. That may irritate you but it is no reason to change your plans. Both you and your colleagues will be glad that you did in the longer term. You may need to find some peace and space for yourself come the weekend.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Looking back over the past few months you will realise that fine adjustments are needed. Both your working life and diet need attention, so be determined that progress made will continue apace. Certainly, you have no qualms about facing any problems straight on. You thrive on responsibility and there is no shortage of that at the moment.
TAURUS (April 21 - May21) Now that you are feeling much better, it will be tempting to put aside your healthy eating and exercise, but if you remember what a difference it makes it would be silly to stop now. Enlist the help of a friend or two in keeping the momentum going.
GEMINI (May 22 - Juny 21) There are so many things to do or try that you should be spoiled for choice. No, don’t settle down in front of the TV. Get out, make some friends and aim to learn something new every day. That may only be the name of your neighbour on the bus but it counts. You are charming and urbane, so don’t keep it all to yourself.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) When your feelings are so positive, which they should be now, it is hard to remember that they have ever been any other way. You may have a plan in mind for a new activity to get the adrenalin flowing. How much more enjoyable, though, to find someone to share this with you. Book that course and maybe you will meet them there.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) After a few recent excesses, bad habits can prove hard to shake off. Remember that any time of the year is a good time to make a fresh start. Don’t put off looking after your health any more than you would put off stashing a cheque in the bank. Use it or lose it? You know it makes sense. Think about combining health with a holiday.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) It happens that energy is sometimes low. Take the chance to read up on why this could be. You may think that you know it all, but in this world there is no chance of that. Maybe you are out of touch generally, or just out of touch with your own needs. Give building your strength priority. How much better you will cope with extra energy.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) With so much going on, you are in danger of burning yourself to a frazzle. You won’t realise until you have done it, so make a point of getting some peace and quiet, preferably both of them at the same time. Relax and don't even think about things that are unchangeable. Time will sort out most things for you.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Leave nothing to chance when it comes to your health. Although you are feeling good now you will soon have problems because you are more concerned with others than yourself. This can be good but can also be overdone. You know how good you can feel. Increase this by simply not accepting secondbest treatment.
SAGITARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Your tendency to see yourself through the eyes of others can lead you to undervalue your worth. This could see you going pear-shaped, emotionally. Try not to believe everything that you are told because there are always at least two ways of seeing things. Be positive. You are capable of so much. Take care of your needs on a daily basis.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Concentrate on your physical needs this week and spend much more time on yourself. There will be plenty of opportunities to look after others when you are feeling 100 per cent yourself. Stay in control of day-to-day plans.

DVD Berlin Syndrome Directed by: Cate Shortland Starring: Teresa Palmer, Max Riemelt, Matthias Habich and Emma Bading This film is about a brief romance in Berlin that turns out to be sinister. An Australian photographer, Clare is on her travels when she happens to meet Andi and is invited to his apartment for a night of romance. The following morning, when she wakes, she finds herself locked inside, possibly by mistake. Later, when he returns home, he seems cold and distant, and she realises that he has no intentions of letting her go. The film portrays a feeling of claustrophobia and Palmer is impressive in her restrained performance. The film creates the kind of tension that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

I have a holiday home in Playa Flamenca and our two closest beaches are Cala Mosca and Cala Estaca, which for years have been really well looked after including the surrounding promenades etc. However, we were out in May and were appalled at what has happened to both of them!! The sea on both beaches has become virtually impossible to enter as they now have their shorelines and shallow areas completely covered in massive rocks and boulders making access perilous to say the least!! The surrounding dirt tracks look to have been excavated recently and all the surplus debris just dumped in the sea making access highly dangerous for children and adults alike. Coupled with that the beaches themselves (especially Estaca) have shrunk in size with the shoreline diminished
HAVE YOUR SAY
Burning question WHILE this letter will not lead to common sense prevailing, I cannot be alone in my concern for the welfare of the scores of tourists who daily walk around increasing bad doses of sun-burn. Some are old, others young, but all surely suffer and spoil part of their holidays. Even so they fail to cover up even in the main heat of the day presumably initially oblivious to the need to protect their increasingly burned skins. They do not only face the risk of long term permanent damage to their bodies in the form of skin cancer, but additionally guarantee sleepless nights during holidays surely supposed to be based on enjoyment, not on endurance!
But year after year they arrive in Spain to overcook their delicate skins, just like sizzled sausages on a summer barbecue!
SUN-BURN: Can spoil your holidays.

How soon will robots replace British jobs postBrexit? (Nora Johnson) YOU’VE hit the nail on the head. I really despair every time I walk into my local bank. I used to be able to actually talk to someone and now it’s all machines, same at the supermarket checkout. The bank looks so depressing compared to back in the day. You really have to wonder when there’ll actually be no more jobs left for humans to do. It’s crazy! Chris

Spain sends help as at least 60 die in Portugal IT always stuns me when the fire tragedies are finally brought to an end, at the cause of such a devastating event. If it is not deliberate then it is by stupidity, ignorance or carelessness. I live in the Algarve where at this time of year the bush is like tinder as it is in many places in Portugal and further. I have watched the flickering of candle light across the valley as holiday renters party into the night and one prays that before they stumble off to bed they remember to put out the candles. It should be a warning on all rental sites that if you are travelling to high fire risk areas to be extra vigilant in your actions or observations. Rental companies will argue it is up to the property
owners to make this clear but it should be the responsibility of all to drive it home, because you could be the cause of something terrible, and who would want to live with that burden?

I THINK it is wonderful how the authorities look after beaches in most parts of southern Spain throughout most months of the year. A prime example is in Mijas Costa, where daily at this time of year the beach is cleaned and in addition workers can be seen sweeping the boardwalk which is so popular with both local residents and tourists. I feel the rule that cyclists should not use the boardwalk after 11am and before the evening, and never at weekends, is also praiseworthy, but perhaps in the main holiday months from June - September, riders should be banned 24/7. This may seem a little unfair, but sadly many of the pedestrians who use the boardwalk are quite elderly, and when walking with dogs, or chatting to friends, they create a risk to themselves by ignoring the presence of cyclists. It would also be a boost if dog walkers ALWAYS ensured that their pets are kept on leads. N Peden, El Faro
Brexit chaos BRITISH expats remain bewildered by Brexit. Our homeland has voted to leave the European Union but there seems to be no plan as to what comes afterwards. The resulting loss of confidence among foreign investors has caused a collapse of the pound, making life harder for us as expats. And it is now starting an upward creep of inflation in the UK. The concern is that with no clear plan from the UK government these trends could continue and the currency could enter a vicious downward spiral. Kevin Richard No address supplied

Is it HIP to re-write history? Marbella Moments by Nicole King AS you turn up the final, steep hairpin-bend and emerge over the crest of the hill, there it is, as if from nowhere: looming before you, abandoned, derelict, ominous: the Incosol hotel. Today it sits empty, dwarfing the otherwise prime properties of Rio Real, leaving them in the shadow of what was once the very symbol of Spanish and international wealth, high society and the get away place for Marbella’s first ‘Jet-Set.’ Today it is more apt to be the location for a remake of The Shining, totally incongruent with the otherwise typical Andalus landscape and virtually unspoilt ocean views that this privileged area of Marbella offers. No longer unusual for a 5-star hotel to also have a spa, when this visionary medicalspa hotel was opened during Franco’s dictatorship in 1973, it was the first of its kind. The inauguration was presided by Cristóbal Martínez Bordiú, the Marquis of Villaverde and Franco himself came to Marbella for the occasion. The installations and medical equipment
INCOSOL – a sight for sore eyes. were of the most advanced by any standards, with more than 60 staff on hand to provide massages, facials, body treatments, diet and relaxation plans and an entire medical team also available for treatments and consultations. In the 80’s and 90’s the Incosol attracted
some of the most iconic names of the day, such as Stewart Granger, Debra Kerr, Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier, Salvador Dalí, the Aga Khan and King Fahed of Saudi Arabia, when he was but a Prince. Even Christina Onassis came and stayed at the Incosol to lose a few pounds. Up until
its closure in 2012 the Incosol never ceased to attract emblematic guests of the likes of Antonio Banderas and countless other top Spanish stars. Today i t ’s j ust a si ght f or sor e eyes. There it sits, Marbella’s first high rise hotelspa, once a vision of the future now only offering us a glimpse of its past in its out-dated façade. No one wanted to see it go, part of Marbella’s history and legacy, but it had been impossible to save; caught in the midst of the economic crisis and overcome with outstanding social security payments, outstandi ng st aff sal ar i es and out st andi ng bank loans. Ironically none of this was too much of a problem after the fact for the new, recent owners, ‘Hotel Investments Partnership’ (HIP), an affiliate of the Sabadell banking group. It would seem that ‘HIP’ have big plans for the Incosol; I fear however that unless they knock the place down or come up with some ingenious plan to enhance José Subirana’s original design, the architect responsible for this tower-block (for want of a better word), we will still be stuck with the same hideous building on our horizon and a constant reminder of how awful the modern architecture was back in 1970!
I’m off to the panaderia... Trudy Stewart AFTER months of having no internet, I am back online. Hallelujah! Thanks to my smartphone, I’ve had access to the internet wherever I could log in to WiFi (I drank a LOT of café con leche during this time!) so I’ve not been completely in the wilderness. But it’s just not the same as being able to Google the theme tune lyrics for the Beverley Hillbillies at 3am because you’ve forgotten the middle part and know you won’t get to sleep till you remember! There are also the practical applications like online banking and shopping which, for some of us, means the dreaded supermarket shop can be a thing of the past. According to new research from Mintel, 14 per cent of Brits now do all of their grocery shopping online, a figure that’s doubled since 2014. Their forecast is that online gro-
cery sales will reach £11.1 billion in the UK in 2017. Almost two thirds (62 per cent) of Brits aged 25-34 are current online grocery shoppers. The demand from younger consumers is pushing the supermarkets to provide same day deliveries (I mean after all, you can order a pizza and have that delivered in 30 minutes or less!) The retailers are also aware that these younger consumers are shopping via their smartphones so they’re tailoring their apps to best interact with them. It makes sense to appeal to the younger demo-
graphic as only one in three consumers over the age of 55 (32 per cent) currently shop online. Of those, almost half have never shopped online and have no interest in doing so. Before moving to Spain, I lived in a small village and the nearest shop was a car drive away. I did about half of my grocery shopping online as it often worked out cheaper than paying the petrol price for the return trip. I can’t say I found it a pleasurable alternative though. It probably took
me just as long to find the things I wanted online as it would have to walk round the store. And don’t get me started on the substitute products that they sometimes bring! You try explaining to your fussy cat that they’ve swapped the only food she’s eating this week for a 12-pack of something she’s not (leading to a drive to the nearest town before the hungry/indignant mewing drives you mad!) The downside of this is that we’re in danger of turning food shopping into just another app for our phones. Consumers have an expectation that they can have whatever they want whenever they want. With current research
showing 47 per cent of us give up because the checkout process took too long, we are now too impatient to even wait in a virtual queue! In the UK, grocery shopping is just another thing to fit into an already hectic schedule. In Spain, I have fallen in love with food again and now, my grocery shopping might take an entire morning as I amble round the market and catch up with the butcher in my best Spanish. While for me this is infinitely preferable to a packed supermarket or frustrating keyword search, I realise that I’m fortunate in that I have the time for it. Online grocery shopping is convenient and there’s definitely a place for it, but there’s nothing beats choosing your own soft, fresh-baked baguette or gently squeezing to find the juiciest tomato or perfect pear within the display. Mmm, I’m off to the panaderia - see you next week! trudystewart75@gmail.com

& Red Cross launch project to tackle elderly abuse HEALTH
22 - 28 June 2017

THE Red Cross Community of Madrid has launched a new humanitarian project aimed at preventing elderly abuse and social problems suffered by the older society. Titled ‘Good Treatment of the Elderly: Promotion of appropriate treatment and protection against abuse,’ the project aims to promote a positive framework for coexistence with older people as well as prevent, protect and support those who have suffered from, or could suffer from, any type of ill-treatment. The Red Cross is carrying out support, training and awareness-raising activities, networking and coordinating with other social organisations and the authorities. Since the start of the year the Red Cross in Madrid has already contacted 1,135 people over 65, vulnerable to abuse, through a telephone campaign offering them safety and prevention advice. The next steps of the initiative will focus on sensitisation and information sessions given by the Spanish Red Cross, Nation-

al Police and Guardia Civil to address all content related to the issue of violence against the elderly. The Red Cross said the implementation of the project has been possible thanks to the collaboration agreement established with the Secretary of State for Security. Every year, the Spanish Red Cross serves more than 15,000 elderly people throughout the Madrid region, offering them help, support and advice against loneliness and healthy living. Elderly abuse is not just a national issue. It is a social problem that affects the health and human rights of millions of older people around the world. According to the UN, the global population of people aged 60 and over will more than double, from 542 million in 1995 to around 1.2 billion in 2025. It is estimated that between 4 to 6 per cent of older people from all over the world have suffered some form of abuse and mistreatment.

What NOT to do if you have Achilles Tendonitis OR any other tendon issue in your hips, knees or ankles for that matter! Tendons attach muscles to bones, they most resemble a rope - lots of strands altogether. So they can fray. 1. Rest completely Medicine has moved on! Now we know if you stop moving... you rarely get going again. So DON’T STOP! Get a properly managed exercise programme. 2. Get passive treatment All that lovely rubbing and fancy machines do help reduce pain temporarily but a properly managed exercise programme is the only way. 3. Get injections Quite simply - there is no proof they work. And steroid injections in any form actually break down the cords in the tendon making it fray faster.
By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com 4. Ignore pain Pain is your body’s way of telling you to stop. So if it hurts, you’ve gone too far and need to back off. 5. Stretch your tendon Would you pull harder on a frayed rope? Nope. So don’t do this to your tendon either. Get some passive therapy to stretch the muscles instead. 6. Massage your tendon Leave that frayed rope alone! All you are doing is making it worse! If you want a nice rub focus on the muscle. 7. Worry about your scans Did you have a picture of
your tendon before it hurt? Or the tendon on the other leg? Then how do you know it didn’t look like that already? Scary words like ‘degeneration’ and ‘tears’ can be frightening. Tendons can take a lot of load even if they are a bit frayed. But they do need proper management as they don’t heal like other body tissues. 8. Worry about rupture People who rupture their tendon usually didn’t have pain beforehand. 9. Take short cuts Tendons have a poor blood supply so are slow to heal. It takes time and effort to get a good result. But if you work hard it will get back to normal. 10. Not understanding how the tendon works Understanding how the tendons work means you know when to start and when to stop.

Get active to boost your mood EXERCISE has always been cited for boosting your mood and reducing stress levels, but the good news is it’s never too late to start as researchers claim just one workout can show immediate positive effects. A new study carried out at New York’s Centre for Neural Science, claims just one workout that leaves you sweating is enough to boost your moods when previous studies claimed it had to be continual, regular exercise to have similar results. The researchers looked at how exercise impacts the brain and found after one workout it can have neurological changes and be seen as a stepping stone for greater benefits. Working out releases a feeling of euphoria and triggers the brain’s cannabinoid receptors.
A mother’s love FIGHT or flight? When it comes to a mother’s love, it’s almost certainly fight. Scientists say they have conducted a series of experiments that shows a mother’s defensive behaviour to protect their child and this is caused by the release of oxytocin, or the socalled ‘love hormone.’ On a study of rats they found that when in the face of danger, rather than fleeing, there was a release of oxytocin as the defensive mechanism to protect her pups came into force. When researchers blocked the oxytocin they found that mothers immediately froze when they detected threat. It is believed this action would be similar in humans with this oxytocin release causing a mother to fight to protect her child, giving a true idea of a mother’s love. MOTHERS: Will protect their children.

Melanomas
SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. What is melanoma? Melanoma is usually, but not always, a cancer of the skin. It begins in melanocytes - the cells that produce the pigment melanin that colours the skin, hair and eyes. Melanocytes also form moles, where melanoma often develops. How can you spot it and what are its symptoms? The most common sign of melanoma is the appearance of a new mole or a change in an existing mole. This can occur anywhere on the body, but the most commonly affected areas are the back in men and the legs in women. Melanomas are uncommon in areas which are protected from sun exposure, such as the buttocks and the scalp. In most cases, melanomas have an irregular shape and are more than one colour. The mole may also be larger than normal and can sometimes be itchy or bleed. Look out for a mole which changes progressively in shape, size and colour. See your GP if you notice any of these changes. What causes melanoma? Melanoma is caused by skin cells that begin to develop abnormally. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun is the cause of most melanomas. There is also evidence to suggest that some may result from sunbed exposure. The type of sun exposure that causes melanoma is sudden intense exposure.
Such as when a person is sunbathing on holiday, which can lead to sunburn. How can it be treated? The main treatment for melanoma is surgery, although your treatment will depend on your circumstances. If melanoma isn’t diagnosed until an advanced stage, treatment is mainly used to slow the spread of the cancer and reduce symptoms. This usually involves medicines that target specific genetic changes in the melanoma, such as BRAF inhibitors, or medicines that boost the body’s immune responses to the melanoma. Who are the most at risk of suffering from melanoma? Certain things can increase your chances of developing melanoma, such as having lots of moles or freckles, pale skin, red or blonde hair and having a close family member who’s had melanoma. More than a quarter of skin cancer cases are diagnosed in people under 50, which is earlier than most other types of cancer. How can you prevent it? Melanoma isn’t always preventable, but you can reduce your chances of developing it by avoiding getting sunburned (even going pink in the sun). Always use adequate sun protection products while outdoors and dress sensibly while in the sun.

Down to earth Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
PIGS aren’t yet flying in the UK but closer inspections suggest that they are sprouting wings. Teresa May lost her overall majority and Jeremy Corbyn, darling of the Labour Party membership but not the Parliamentary Labour Party, scooped up the biggest share of the vote since Tony Blair. No doubt the PSOE secretary general Pedro Sanchez has taken heart from the UK’s recent General Election as he, too, is beloved by the militants but not the party hierarchy. Sanchez’s supporters are drawing attention to the parallels between him and Corbyn while overlooking one enormous difference.
The Labour leader made a good showing in his first General Election and Sanchez bombed twice, leading the PSOE to its worst-ever defeats in December 2015 and June 2016. Pigs might eventually become airborne in the UK but will probably remain earthbound for time to come in Spain. PEDRO SANCHEZ: Taken heart.
Under the jackboot NOT long ago Pep Guardiola, erstwhile Barça and Bayern trainer now at Manchester City, called on the international community to support Cataluña. The region’s rights are being threatened “by an authoritarian state” ie Spain, Guardiola claimed.
Repeated foreign visits by Cataluña’s former regional president Artur Mas and his successor Carles Puigdemont to drum up support have already elicited responses of “not today thank you.” Hysterical overreaction from Guardiola, who once played for the “authoritarian state” is just what the remainers needed.
October BOGOF CATALUÑA’S independence referendum will be held on October 1, announced Carles Puigdemont. Voters will not be asked “Do you want an independent state?” but “Do you want an independent state that is a republic?” So Cataluña voters can look forward a two-for-one offer - a Puigdemont BOGOF, in fact.

Nice little earner SPAIN’S Public Safety Law brought in €13 billion in fines for offending or challenging the police since it was introduced in 2015. Known more accurately as the Gagging Law, it was passed at a time when protests had increased although most were peaceful and public safety the least of Spain’s problems. Unemployment was the biggest worry for more than three-quarters of the population and corruption for almost half. Few people were losing sleep over public safety. Gagging Law fines have since been issued for putting photos of badlyparked patrol cars on Facebook and a woman was fined for carrying a bag with a cat’s face and the letters ACAB. These, she explained, stood for All Cats Are Beautiful although her inquisitors disagreed and insisted that it meant All Cops Are Bastards. Doesn’t say much for the Public Safety Law, but that’s an impressive and paranoid level of English.

Three days in Santiago SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, capital city of Galicia, has been attracting visitors for hundreds of years. The city started out as a small settlement by a Roman road but discovery of St James’ tomb early in the 9th century led to it becoming a place of Catholic worship at the end of a peninsula at that time dominated by Muslim invaders. Gradually, as penitents started to flock there, Santiago de Compostela grew into a holy city and its Cathedral and numerous monasteries, churches, hospitals to accommodate pilgrims and stately homes formed around magnificent streets and squares, eventually forming the historical centre which today attracts millions of tourists every year. Yet, although religion is the best-known magnet, you don’t have to be religious, or even Catholic, to enjoy a visit to Santiago. The Unesco World Heritage city’s impressive architecture, parks and gardens, gastronomy, university and culture (with treasures to view in no less than 16 museums) are all great reasons to plan a weekend visit. Walking the Camino is the most traditional way to get to Santiago and there are different routes of varying lengths from most of Spain and other parts of Europe. For those who prefer a speedier form of transport, the city is also easily accessible from the rest of the country and continent by plane, train, coach or car. To make the most of a visit and see as much as possible, the local tourism department recommends a
three-day visit and suggests the following schedule: Start day one by exploring the streets and squares of the historical centre before visiting the Cathedral. Either join a guided tour or hire an audio-guide from the tourist office to make the most of your visit. Plan to enter the Cathedral not long before noon if you would like to attend a pilgrims’ mass which, depending on the calendar of liturgical celebrations, usually employ the famous Botafumeiro censer. No visit to the Cathedral is complete without heading for the roofs for panoramic views of the city. In the afternoon head for the Cidade da Cultura de Galicia (CdC) museum, which boasts magnificent architecture by Peter Eisenman and holds very interesting exhibitions and cultural activities. Back in the historical part of the city, there are two main parks which are worth a visit and offer panoramic views of the area: San Domingos de Bonaval and La Alameda. The first contains two interesting museums: the Galician ethnographical museum (Museo do Pobo Galego) within the former San Domingos convent which includes a beautiful gothic church and fantastic triple Barroque staircase and the Galician Centre of Arts (CGAC) designed by Portuguese architect Alvaro Sisa. After visiting these museums, a walk in La Alameda park provides plenty of photo opportunities as it has the best frontal views of the Cathedral on the horizon. The next day plan a visit to the Mercado de Abastos market, the main and most traditional in the city and the second most visited place after the Cathedral.
SANTIAGO: Capital of Galicia.
Fresh fish and seafood are the stars of the show at this market, which opens every day except Sunday but is busiest on Thursdays and Saturdays, but fruit and veg, flowers, cheeses and other typical produce are also on sale. There are two places within the market which come highly recommended for an authentic Galician lunch. At Punto Kente, for a percentage of what you paid for it, they will cook what you have bought at the market, while at Abastos 2.0 the menu consists of the best of the day’s fresh produce presented as mini-delicacies. Not far from the market is the university’s Faculty of Geography and History which is well worth a visit and has an impressive library and a terrace with spectacular views. In the afternoon take the tourist train for a different
view of the city and a relaxed way to sightsee which is apt for all the family. Then head for the shops to pick up souvenirs to take home: Galician crafts, textiles and delicacies come highly recommended. There are many art galleries and monuments, such as the Pazo de Fonseca and the Iglesia de la Universidad (university church) which will complete a pleasant afternoon. On the third and final day, take the chance to join tours of other parts of Galicia such as Finisterre and Costa da Morte, Rias Baixas or A Coruña or visit nearby monasteries or stately homes. Then in the evening it’s time for a final Galician meal and a walk through the streets and squares, stopping off at a pub in the historical centre for a traditional ‘queimada’ to ward off bad spirits.

THE highly successful singer Lemar took time out from his recording schedule to speak exclusively to the EWN Media Group of newspapers before appearing in Estepona. This will be his first ever show to be performed in Spain although he has been here on holiday on a number of occasions. When asked why he had chosen Estepona for his first visit, he explained that he has been in the studio completing his first album for two years so has been looking forward to getting back on the road performing. When he was told about the Rising Stars project, which is being organised by the newly formed Diamonds and Pearls events management company, he knew that he wanted to do what he could to help, saying “I like to inspire young people and I like to be available for them. I was lucky enough to encourage by Lionel Richie and later got to play alongside him.” This will be a lightning visit to perform at the Felipe VI in Estepona on Saturday next starting at 8.30pm with tickets costing from €25. Lemar certainly wasn’t an overnight success as he had left university where he was studying

Based in the old Dreamers site in Nueva Andalucia, literally minutes away from Puerto Banus, there is a brand new concept which combines the elegance of the past with the music of the future. There are two quite separate yet inexorably intertwined parts to the venue, first, a sophisticated outdoor supper experience where guests are invited to watch international acts supported by an exceptional cast of all round performers. Open from 9pm to 2am, special guest act for the next two weeks is Marc MÊtral an extraordinary ventriloquist who has performed at the Moulin Rouge in Paris for the past 18 years.

A tropical atmosphere in a romantic place THERE is one restaurant on the Costa del Sol that is now in its 35th year under the same ownership which only opens two months in the year. The Roman Oasis is legendary to those who have lived on the coast for any period of time and was a labour of love carved out on a piece of land near
to the Roman Baths in the hills above Manilva. It’s a fun place to visit with an incredibly friendly host, Paul Hickling who will go out of his way to make you welcome with stories of past visitors including his great friend Keith Floyd who wrote his last book whilst
supping one of the many wines on offer at the restaurant. There is no question of this being a pretentious venue, just good hardy food, much cooked on a huge barbecue and a choice of nearly 100 different ports. Only open for dinner in July and
August and at the moment sadly missing one of Paul’s two Grey African Parrots, this is a little oasis of fun and good food. To find out more, visit www.roman oasismanilva.com or call 952 892 380 to make a reservation.

Unique ventriloquist and his singing dog INTERNATIONALLY acclaimed French ventriloquist Marc Métral has just flown in to Malaga with his favourite dog Miss Wendy to appear at the new Teatro Marbella. He spared some time prior to his first performance on Wednesday to speak to the EWN Media Group about his long career and the performance that he will give for the next two weeks in Puerto Banus. Although he has appeared in Spain on a number of occasions, it is his first ever visit to Marbella and he is particularly looking forward to the fact that it will be in the open air which is nice for him and also his dog Wendy who plays an important part in his act. Starting at an early age, Marc discovered that he had a talent for throwing his voice and he learnt his craft at the feet of the great Swiss ventriloquist Georges Schick, said by some to be the greatest of all. From there, he has travelled the world, taking his art all over Europe and as far as China and Japan returning for
annual appearances at the acclaimed Moulin Rouge in Paris and to collect three awards for the quality of his performance. In 2015, he appeared on Britain’s

Got Talent with Wendy ‘the talking dog’ who has been with him since she was a puppy and whilst astounding many viewers with their amusing act, there were complaints that she may have been mistreated. Happily, the RSPCA who were invited to visit rehearsals thought that the dog was completely relaxed and did not suffer. Nowadays, she is a guest star in his act which includes him ‘throwing his voice’ around the room and use of other more traditional dummies including a naughty lion and several birds but anyone who attends the dinner show at Teatro Marbella will see Miss Wendy chatting to Marc in a performance that has a romantic ending. He will be on the Costa del Sol for just two weeks as he has to return to Paris to perform two shows a night at the Moulin Rouge during July and August.

You’ve tried the cowboys N
OW TRY THE INDIANS. This slogan was made ‘famous’ by my old restaurateur friend Singh at his popular eatery in Calahonda, Mijas Costa more than 25 years ago. We met for dinner in his restaurant last week for a catch up. When I think back to my early years in the UK, immigration was - and still is - looked upon with reservation. Pakistani corner shops, Indian restaurants not to mention nurses from Africa and the Caribbean! Add to that, the meltin g p o t i n c r e a se s , w ith th o s e fro m Poland, Czechoslovakia and more. What drives people to leave their country,
GOOD FOOD, GOOD WINE AND GOOD FRIENDS WITH
GARRY WAITE travel afar and make a go of it? I forget that despite the fact that at times this part of the world reminds me at times as some sort of ‘Little England,’ we are ALL immigrants. Singh’s work paid off, like many of his ilk, by hard work and risk taking. He has two smart young children going into hotel
management who will surely take his work ethic with them. His business has expanded over the years opening a variety of restaurants but he has now made the leap to Malaga. We know that Malaga has boomed and is now not only a beautiful, historical city, but a hub of business. Nowhere more prnounced than the Muelle Uno on the Port. This area has become the place to go both as a business and as a visitor. Singh’s Buddha Brasserie, serving Indian and Thai food is destined to be part of that success. I am going there with him next week, so I can report back!
Anyone out there for tennis? AS WIMBLEDON FAST APPROACHES, Britain will bask in sunshine (sic) and the obligatory rain showers, as the world’s favourite tennis tournament starts next month. They will indulge in that favourite summer pastime of consuming strawberries and cream. I like strawberries and tend to have them as part of my fruit breakfast. So for most of the year my local supermarket has them. I know we export tonnes to the UK, so you may feel my annoyance that when the summer comes here we run out, and they disappear from the shelves. One can buy from wholesalers but they are usually quite expensive and come from Holland and the UK but we don’t seem to import sufficient so as they can brighten our supermarket aisles during the important summer season. Oh well, back in September!
Numbers in the news Half a million visitors will drink 350,000 cups of tea, 250,000 Pimms, 100,000 pints of beer and more than 28,000 bottles of champagne during the Wimbledon Tennis Championships scheduled in London from July 3 – 16. They will also consume 28,000 kgs of strawberries.
STRAWBERRIES: In summer they run out.
Unthinkable to do nothing THE FIRE TRAGEDY THAT AFFECTED LONDON seems to have affected people all over the UK and further afield. Once again the resilience and strength of the people and their communities astounds me. The incongruousness of the tower blocks of North Kensington aside the residents in the more affluent South Kensington. Neighbours such as Prince William and music mogul Simon Cowell visited the disaster area prompting Cowell, who ‘was moved to tears’ when he saw the carnage, stating that ‘a perso n i n m y p o sitio n to d o n o th in g would be unthinkable,’ to contact other music bosses to release a charity single in aid of the victims.

When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable. Clifton Fadiman
MY WINE CORNER THIS WEEK focuses on a bottle of Faustino 1992 Gran Reserva from my own depleting collection. I keep saying the usual “I’ll keep that for a special occasion” but as one - like good wine - improves with age, you realise that every day is a special day. So, dust off the cobwebs I did (and that’s just in my hallway!) to see how this wine has fared over the last few years. I am not a great lover of Faustino it has to be said - just too predictable and somewhat boring! But you have to appreciate some of their vintages. Gran Reserva means that it should be in barrel for at least two years and in bottle for three (a minimum total of five) before being released. This wine is typically Rioja with majority Tempranillo with Graciano and Mazuelo grapes. The cork opened well, in as much as it was still dry at the top, but broke three quarters of the way down (maybe more the person who opened it!). It was very ‘tawny’ as to be expected, but still had a lot of quality. Smooth, still hints of berries and sufficient tannin. It drank well with my mature cheddar!
FAUSTINO 92: Drank well with my cheddar!
ON THAT NOTE I will bid farewell until next week and should aspiring restaurateurs need some help or advice, please do contact me. A toast to Good Food, Good Wine and Good Friends.

Low maintenance and hardy succulents GRAEME TYRRELL IF you love having a garden but have little free time to tend a conventional garden there is a solution. A garden that, if you forget to water at times, will not have shrivelled up to a stick with dried leaves on it, is a great bonus for a busy person. If the plants can spring back to life after neglect and produce spectacularly larger than average flowers for the size of the plants it can be amazing. The plants themselves offer a range of colours that can be contrasted and blended to great effect in containers or the garden. Maybe it sounds too good to be true.
These plants store water in their leaves. It is possible with the naturally occurring desert and arid zone succulents. These amazing succulent plants have the ability to store water in their leaves, stems and/or roots. They also have an uncanny ability to draw moisture from morning dew and mist. Succulents differ, in many classifications, from cactus in that they do not have spines or prickles, which makes gardening with them easier. A most popular succulent in Spain is the Jade Plant (Crassula ovata) which you will often find growing in containers to grand dimensions in historic courtyards all around Spain. Other traditional Spanish favourites include Kaffir Lily - Clivia Miniata and Housetree Leek - Aeonium Arboreum. These all make great outdoor containers plants or contrasting additions to the garden. There is also a huge range of smaller or more compact succulents that be combined in containers to form a mini landscape. This includes the
once the soil starts to dry out so as not to overwater. The soil mix they grow in should not be too nutrient rich so a well composted soil mixture for pots or lightly improved garden soil for outdoors is sufficient. If your water quality is tending towards hard water or very alkaline you will need to repot the plant every year or so to reduce the mineral build up. A way to prevent this build up is to use rain water to water your succulents.
Succulents need good light but not always direct sunlight so they can do well indoors close to a window or other light source. Most succulents are very easy t o gr ow by di vi si on and cuttings usually take readily if given a moist environment until strong roots form. There is a huge range of succulents available if you want to have an interesting addition to your garden that is low maintenance and hardy.
Miniature succulents in pots. Paddle plant - Kalanchoe thyrsiflora, various Sedum species (such as Stone Crop, Burros Tail, Propeller Plant), Sempervivum species (such as Cobweb and Red Houseleeks), Portulacaria species
(such as Moss Ross, Purslane), Delosperma (Ice Plants) and many more. They are a great way to have an indoor or balcony garden display. That they store water
means they have to be given water regularly to build up their reserves, but they will tolerate long periods without water if it is not too often as they need to become replenished. It is best to water them

DOGS have always been credited with the power of sensing supernatural influences, as well as being able to see ghosts, spirits, faeries or deities which are invisible to human eyes. In Wales only dogs could see the death-bringing hounds of Annwn; in ancient Greece the dogs were aware when Hecate was at a crossroads foretelling a death. Dogs are believed to be aware of the presence of ghosts, and their barking, whimpering or howling is said to be the first warning of supernatural occurrences. In England, there are many instances of black dog ghosts which are said to haunt lanes, bridges, crossroads, footpaths and gates, particularly in Suffolk, Norfolk and the Isle of Man. Some black dogs are said to be unquiet ghosts of wicked souls, but others are friendly guides and protectors to travellers. The Barguest of northern England could also appear as a pig or a goat, but was most commonly a huge black dog with large eyes and feet which left no prints. Tales of packs of ghostly hounds have also been recorded all over Britain, often said to be heard howling as they pass by

on stormy nights rather than actually seen. These hounds generally foretell death, (or at least disaster) if they are seen then the proper action is to drop face-down onto the ground to avoid spotting them. When a dog howls in an otherwise silent night, it is said to be an omen of death or at least of misfortune. A howling dog outside the house of a sick person was once thought to be an omen that they would die, especially if the dog was driven away and returned to howl again. A dog which gives a single howl, or three howls, and then falls silent is said to be marking a death that has just occurred nearby. Dogs were feared as carriers of rabies, sometimes a healthy dog could be killed if it had bitten someone, because of the belief that if the dog later developed rabies (even many years afterwards) the bitten person would also be afflicted. Remedies for the bite of a mad dog often included the patient being forced to eat a part of the dog in
question, such as its hairs or a piece of its cooked liver. Dogs were also used to cure other illnesses. One old charm which was often used for children’s illnesses, was to take some of the patient’s hairs and feed them to a dog between slices of bread and butter. The ailment was believed to transfer to the animal, healing the patient. In Scotland, a strange dog coming to the house is said to mean a new friendship; in England, to meet a spotted or black and white dog on your way to a business appointment is considered lucky. Additionally, three white dogs seen together are considered lucky in some areas; black dogs however are generally considered unlucky, especially if they cross a traveller’s path or follow someone and refuse to be driven away. Fishermen traditionally regard dogs as unlucky and will not take one out in a boat, or mention the word ‘dog’ while at sea. Source Arcamax
MANY of us who have had young pets know, that the fabulous playfulness can be irrepressible and highly entertaining. But what happens when you, their number one playmate, go away on holiday? Some young pets can get anxious and if sent away from their home too, this can make their anxiety a little worse. If they are able to stay at home maintaining their own routine and you find a house-sitter who enjoys playing with your pet, it can make all the difference to your holiday and to your pets. We can help you to prepare a guide for the sitters, detailing the routines for your
property and pets. And in exchange the sitters have free accommodation in your home. Our website facilitates this exchange of services between our members. More involved help is available for Premium members. What’s more the house-sitter will care for your property and pets for free! That’s because what we offer is an exchange of services, the sitters offer you their experiences and presence to keep your home secure and your pets safe and well cared for, in exchange you offer free accommodation!
Do you need a house or pet-sitter? Get in touch. House-sitting can be a win-win for both parties, free house and pet-sitting, and the experienced and checked sitters get free accommodation! Register as either house-sitter or homeowner now with a 50 per cent off introductory offer using coupon code SPECIAL50. To find a house or pet-sitter go to www.HousesitMatch.com or call Lamia on 00 44 (0) 777 214 2742.
Pussycat tails CAT’S tails are fascinating, seeming to appear as if they have a life of their own. They look like an antennae or some kind of detector that speaks a language all of it’s own. In fact, the cat’s tail can open up a world of information to the owner, making them better equipped to care for it. It is worth paying more attention to the tail movements, as it reveals their moods and intentions. In general, a whipping tail makes most people in-
stinctively stay away, as this action has the effect of making the cat look extremely majestic and powerful. This is an accurate response as it actually means that they are on high alert, nervous or potentially aggressive and it’s a brave person that even thinks about touching them. Vets advise owners to pay attention to the whole body and not just focus on their tails. A cat that’s asleep can still tap their tail, which is due to dreaming or it could just be resting and focusing
on something. A straight tail and hooked tip means that the cat is calm and greeting you, but a straight-up tail signals aggressiveness. If they have an arched back and a puffed-out tail, it means they’re afraid of something and with a tail that curves downwards, they are on the defence. A cat is calm when the tail is in a low and neutral position and finally if it decides to suddenly bolt, it’s just letting off some steam.

SPV hits Le Mans COSTA DEL SOL-BASED racing outfit SPV Racing made its second appearance in this season’s Michelin Le Mans Cup last weekend and fulfilled the first part of a dream while doing so. This time, the team took part in two 55-minute races comprising the Road to Le Mans round, with their Ligier JS P3 racing alongside GT and other LMP3 cars around the 13.6km Circuit del la Sarthe in front of 250,000 spectators on the morning of the greatest endurance
Two 55-minute races.
race in the world, the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans. In qualifying, SPV finished a disappointing 32nd place in the first session, but after some tweaks managed a fine sixth position in the second. With almost 50 entrants, the races were bound to be busy as SPV found to their detriment in the first after failing to complete the full 13 laps, agonisingly dropping out on the 12th for a 38th place finish.
In the second race, the stunning bright yellow car with Euro Weekly News livery on the rear wing performed better, not only completing the distance but passing the chequered flag in a respectable 23rd spot. The team now move onto round three which takes place from July 21-22 at the mighty Red Bull Ring in Austria. All races are available on Gol TV in Spain, BT Sport in the UK and all over Europe on Motor Trend and Motorsport.tv.
