Repeat offender TRAGIC: 3 people killed.
HOUSE ARREST: Police seized cash and vehicles.
Briton held as fraud ringleader
€17m dupe By Matt Ford A Briton has been arrested suspected of heading a Costa del Sol timeshare fraud that duped 500 families out of €17 million. In total 36 people - including the unnamed Briton’s wife, son and daughter-in-law - have been held in the huge fraud. A Velez-Malaga law firm is accused of laundering the profits of the fraudulent scheme operated by the quartet, who are said to have accepted cash for timeshare packages that turned out to be non-existent. Detectives believe the family made more than €12 million in profits once the lawyer and other collaborators had been paid. An investigation was
launched after 33 of the victims approached a Benalmadena legal adviser who contacted the police. Investigators as a result swooped on five properties, including the ringleader ’s home, with high-end vehicles including a Ferrari and luxury yacht, €126,000 in cash, 10 expensive watches and jewellery among the items seized. All 36 suspects have been remanded in custody as the probe continues. Miguel Briones, sub-delegate for the Spanish government in Malaga, praised investigators, highlighting the ‘police muscle’ displayed and reassurance offered to the tourism sector and British community in the wake of the arrests.
THE alcohol and drug-fuelled Guardia Civil officer responsible for causing a traffic accident that killed three people and hospitalised four others has a previous drink-driving record, it has emerged. It comes as the sergeant, who has been named as Miguel Campos Lopez, has been jailed without bail after being charged with two counts of ignoring road safety, three of reckless homicide, and seven of
causing harm to others. An 18-year-old girl died at the scene of the accident on the A-7 motorway near Torremolinos, while a 26-year-old man and 30-year-old woman failed to survive the night after being taken to hospital with severe head injuries. Lopez initially tried to flee the scene, and after claiming that the car was being driven by a colleague who had disappeared, he tested positive for alcohol and cocaine.
Cover up! MARBELLA has announced a new law that will see shirtless holidaymakers fined €120€500 in certain areas. Public Safety councillor Javier Porcuna explained that the new legislation was inspired by other Spanish cities such as Barcelona, who already have similar sanctions in place. The bill has yet to pass the approval of the Local Council,
but once it has it will be active throughout the year in the majority of public spaces.

SPANISH FACTS OF LIFE...19 With over 70 million tourists visiting the country in 2016, Spain’s airports are booming, as Madrid and Barcelona both ranked in the 2017 global Top 10 compiled by travel compensation experts AirHelp.
MADRID’S Adolfo Suarez MadridBarajas and Barcelona’s El Prat airports placed seventh and eighth respectively in AirHelp’s passenger satisfaction survey. The former remains the most sizeable airport in Spain covering 3,050 hectares, and also includes the country’s biggest terminal. The iconic T4 building was designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners and features a bamboo linear roof structure, plus a series of cutting-edge environmental measures designed to significantly reduce energy consumption. In addition to trailing Madrid in the

I want to be a European citizen. I’ve always thought of myself, in order, as European, British, then English. Perhaps, having a German/Danish mother, and a half Spanish father, a French uncle, having lived in England, France, Portugal and Spain colours my view. Outrage as Costa del Sol toll road raises feesTheir greed is killing people and it’s ridiculous as it’s actually costing the government more in police and ambulances assisting roadside accidents than hospital bills. There are more frequent accidents because the roads are overloaded due to greed they should in fact cut the toll cost to keep the roads flowing safely! Cataluña in final stages of legalising cannabis - I think it should be legalised. It would take a lot of
business off the streets and be beneficial to the government tax wise, it’s a pretty harmless drug in the short term sense, a lot safer than alcohol, however it can have long term effects from prolonged use, like psychosis, however long term alcohol abuse can do far worse, it’s all about finding the right balance, in moderation I think it’s fine, but wouldn’t advise daily use. All it takes is a gust of wind… (video of fire spreading) - Why why why. Do these people have no sense at all?? Kentucky Fried Chaos in Benidorm - Kentucky fried KICKIN’!

IT appears that there is the start of a major power struggle within the Conservative party as Prime Minister Theresa May appears consistently out of her depth. Various ministers are sniping at each other, either directly or indirectly and it looks as if Boris Johnson is lining up against Philip Hammond, two of the favourites to take over from Mrs May if she is forced to resign. Initial discussions on Brexit haven’t been terribly successful and there is still no agreement about the future of British passport holders living in the EU or EU passport holders living in the UK although it appears that Britain is prepared to continue to honour medical arrangements including the EH1C card for holidaymakers. David Davis walked away from his first meeting with EU negotiator Michel Barnier leaving more questions than answers and the threat of the ‘divorce bill’ if accepted could mean that Britain could have been better off financially by staying in the EU for another decade. The Labour Party has revelled in the fact it can appear united and take pot shots at a struggling government which turned to the DUP for support when in fact it could have relied on the absenteeism of Sinn Fein MPs to allow it to rule as a minority government thus saving taxpayers £1 billion.

More Mijas TLC THE donkeys of Mijas Pueblo a year-round attraction with tourists - now receive Tender Loving Care (TLC).
Now provided with access to water and shade, the donkeys also additionally receive regular veterinary checks and
their handlers have also undergone some training. In the last month the donkeys have also been provided
with rubber shoes, though these are to protect the streets from being damaged by traditional iron shoes rather than a creature comfort move! While occasional claims appear online that some of the donkeys look sad and are illtreated, a recent EWN check failed to substantiate the reports.. Donkey owners Salvador Torres, aged 42, and 25-yearold Francisco Heredia, insisted the animals’ are well cared for with water access and shade. The animals also carry only specific weights according to their size. They also said the donkeys on average only go on one ride a day. Business owner Pena Alarcon from the Rincon Andaluz shop said that while mistreatment had been an issue until around 10 years ago, the animals “are now very well looked after and cared for,” while Joy Fahey, President of the local Art Centre, described the overall situation as “better, though not great.” Mijas Council when contacted was unwilling to comment on any online claims, nor was any official on hand to report on the general wellbeing of the donkeys.

THE MODEL S at a Supercharge Station.
THE anticipated Tesla store, available until August 31, has finally opened in the El Corte Ingles of Puerto Banus. The American company has opened their temporary store to showcase two electric car models. The Model S, from €80,000, has five seats and boasts up to 400 miles per charge while the Model X, from €95,000, goes from 060mph in 2.7 seconds and has a single-charge range of 330 miles. The Marbella pop-up is part of Tesla’s southern European tour “in areas where there is high local and international interest,” in a bid to showcase their zero-emission alternatives to fossil fuelled cars. In addition to their car exhibition company CEO Elon Musk has announced plans to build another 13 supercharging stations in Spain, which will allow Tesla motorists to recharge their cars on the road for free. Those interested can request a test drive by visiting the store, or booking an appointment online.

LOCALS tackling the fire hazard.
Blazing battle THE residents of Churriana, Malaga, are up in arms after the council has failed to safeguard the area from wildfires. Salvador Trujillo, PSOE representative in the district, expressed concerns that the neighbourhood is at high risk of a fire due to the lack of preventive measures. Following a lack of maintenance, long dry grass surrounds local homes “representing a real danger to homes within the proximity,” said Trujillo. “There has been a total lack of foresight and complete negligence from the council,” Trujillo maintained, who has insisted that during the summer months “a spark could cause a fire that would spread rapidly, posing danger to the residents and their homes.” Neighbourhood representatives, Juan Antonio Quintana and Mari Cruz Torres, have begun clearing the fire hazards themselves. “We need more attention in the area, such as firewalls, canine parks and the protection of natural sites,” explained Torres, who has called for the council to provide “specific preventive plans.”

JUAN JOSE HIDALGO: President of Globalia.
HOTEL owners have called for tighter rental regulations after a boom in new tourist apartments and homes. Hoteliers have expressed concern following figures showing that 1,781 homes are rented to tourists in Malaga capital, providing 8,758 rooms. They fear that by the end of summer tourist apartments will outnumber the 9,157 hotels beds available in the city. Juan Jose Hidalgo, president of Spain’s largest tourist group Globalia, has demanded that the apartment owners “contribute fiscally” and pay the same taxes hotels do. “They must comply with the regulations that hotels have to abide by, security, accessibility, everything is regulated,” he explained. Hidalgo believes the tourist apartment trend “cannot be stopped” and fears that if the rental movement continues, it will result in a decline of business in the city centre.

“There is no control, people rent an apartment for four and arrive as eight. The centre is depopulating and degrading,” he maintained. Carlos Perez-Lanzac, president of the Association of Tourist Housing in Andalucia (AVVA), criticised that the hotel industry are attempting to discredit the competition. The entrepreneur believes that hoteliers are lashing out because they feel threatened by the rising trend. He maintained that tourist 4.0 investigators, an independent research group, have stated that “tourists prefer housing because they are not hotels; the success of this model arises because it is an authentic experience which allows you to feel like a resident, while providing a boost to local businesses.” Lanzac warned that if regulations tighten, many property owners could conceal their rental arrangements in a bid to avoid taxation.

Margarita del Cid, President of the Municipal Commonwealth, explained that “the floating mass, commonly referred to as ‘cream,’ diminishes the visual quality of

Memory trip to Disneyland Paris for brave Leo the Lion INSPIRATIONAL cancer fighter Leo Bermejo from Almeria is heading to France with his family for a magical, memory-making five-night trip to the Disney theme park. A fund launched late last year - and taken up by the Euro Weekly News with subsequent widespread publicity reaching hundreds of thousands of people - raised enough money to send him to the United States for cutting
edge proton-beam therapy in Oklahoma. But a recent MRI scan has confirmed the cancer has returned and is growing quickly in different areas of the original cavity. Speaking about the trip Mum Karen said, “I don’t feel one bit excited. I am sure we will all have fun but deep inside our hearts we will know that it is the beginning of the end for Leo.
“Now we are being forced to think about life without him which seems impossible at the moment. His smile brightens our day every day, his happiness and positivity makes us all better people.” She went on to say, “I am sure emotions will be all over the place. I will watch other families with their healthy children feeling envious. Why can’t that be us? Why is it my baby boy that has to go
through this. “He has fought so hard but he has never stopped smiling and he has never shown that he is ready to give up.” The family will travel to Manchester first so that Leo can say ‘hello’ to his friends there. Then they will all travel to the Disney resort for five nights. On their return to Spain the family will start arranging palliative care for brave Leo.

AWARDED: The provincial council. THE provincial council of Malaga has been awarded an Andalucian Diversity Award in recognition of its commitment to LGBTQI rights. On the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, Wednesday June 28, the LGBTQI organisation DIVERSIDAD presented their second annual award ceremony. The event focused on acknowledging the people and organisations that have advocated LGBTQI rights in the last year. The president of the council, Elias Bendodo, spoke at the ceremony in the Hall of Mirrors in Malaga City. Bendodo stated that his administration is in the
process of creating a province where all people feel accepted, regardless of their sexual orientation, financial status or gender identity. “In order to reach this goal, it is necessary to involve all public administration, and listen to the specialised associations of our province, since only they can offer a clear insight into the needs of the LGBT people,” he said. Aside from government employees, the initiative recognised the work of National Police chief Jose Enrique Murillo, artist Miguel Poveda and the Andalucian LGBTQI news site ‘Togayther.’

The mayor of the town Felix Lozano has stated that he is

The manager of Urco, the company which manufactures the vehicles, Jose Manuel Perez said he is pleased with how well they have been accepted by the local government.

Guardia Civil launch summer campaign for safer vacations THE Guardia Civil has launched a campaign, with the title Ten Hints, which seeks to encourage responsible behaviour while tourists and residents enjoy their well-deserved vacations. They have produced 17 short video clips which look at safety for individuals and regard for the environment in public and holiday areas. The advice has been placed in five different categories, all of which appear to be overlooked at times during the summer and when an element of holiday ‘excitement’ makes people forget the obvious. In addition to the actual ad-
ADVICE: Be careful on the water.
vice, suggestions are made as to the specialist divisions of the Guardia Civil, who are responsible for different areas of policing. Firstly, the organisation reminds holidaymakers of the importance of protecting the environment and animals. This includes not leaving dogs in hot cars without water and ventilation, individuals not throwing burning cigarette ends away (due to the strong possibility of starting a wild-
fire) and reminding all that rubbish of any type (including dog excrement) needs to be removed and disposed of properly. The next topic covered is that of travel by road - which many people do - from holidaymakers travelling to second homes on the coast, to first time visitors driving hire cars. The most important advice is never drive having taken alcohol or drugs, use seat belts at all times, respect the speed limits and never text or use a mobile phone when driving. Don’t make it easy for burglars, especially at home in this very hot weather, by leaving windows and doors open, (particularly when you are sleeping) and be alert to
possible thefts on the streets, as mobile phones and bags can disappear in the blink of an eye. Many tourists enjoy the outdoor life but too many go hiking or climbing with inadequate clothing, (especially footwear). The advice is to always take sufficient liquid and wherever possible, a mobile phone in case of accidents. Every summer, reports abound of people drowning (often when caught in treacherous tides or from the shock of diving into very cold water) and children need to be watched at all times, both in the sea and when near swimming pools. The water can be dangerous so don’t drink and then go swimming at night and be careful when out with boats or hiring jet skis. All of the hints are really quite obvious - but for some reason, when holidays come, common sense can be in short supply - so remember to be careful and save expense, discomfort and possible death as well as upset for all of the family, be sensible!

In 2016 the municipality installed three intelligently-designed charging points for mobile phones embedded in preexisting street furniture. Lamps in Plaza de España, Plaza de la Constitucion and Plaza del Carmen de los Boliches were used. The points also offer a touch
screen which allows users to look up areas of cultural interest, directions, events, local information, news and businesses. They can even take selfies and share them via email. In the year since they were launched the points have been acknowledged by the local councillor Isabel Gonzales as a great success having been used over 60,000 times. The councillor highlighted that Fuengirola is one of
Spain’s leading intelligent towns and recognised the hard work put in by the council to keep it this way. Gonzales boasted they were the “first municipality to reuse the urban furniture in a sustainable way” and that this was “very important” for the town. The economic benefit of the touch screens is that they can look up local businesses to make it easier for people to find and visit them.

Well worth the trip from Spain though, for our two up and coming stars. Ben fought in the Precadets under 42kg category and Lisa in the Cadets under 63kg and Senior Kyu Grade women. Both met some good players along the way.

It helps facilitate the movement of their vehicle across international borders. It also guarantees that victims of road traffic accidents involving foreign registered vehicles are compensated in the country of the accident. The Green Card System The Green Card System comprises over 40 countries. National vehicle organisations within the Green Card System include the EU, the EEA, Switzerland, Russia and several countries around the Middle East and North Africa. However, a Green Card is not required to travel through the EEA, Andorra, Norway, Croatia and Switzerland. The Green Card Bureau Each Green Card Bureau is responsible for handling and guaranteeing the settling of claims arising from traffic accidents caused by visiting motorists. Travelling outside the EU If you are travelling out-
side the European Community to one of the countries listed as requiring a Green Card, you will need to ask your insurance company to issue you a Green Card beforehand. Road accident If you’re involved in a road traffic accident in a country requiring a Green Card, make sure the police are called to the scene of the accident. You will need a copy of the police report. If you don’t understand what you’re being told, request an interpreter. We also advise that you contact your insurance company as soon as possible, whether you want to make a claim or not. Make notes of what happened.

What a difference a day makes
ARMED FORCES DAY BBQ: Was almost like a military exercise in itself. TUESDAY June 27 certainly made a difference to RBL Mollina branch’s Poppy Appeal, with almost €1,000 raised from a variety of sources, including a very generous donation from Mollina Park Neighbourhood Association. Planning and preparation for the Armed Forces Day BBQ was almost like a military exercise in itself. Barbara
and Lesley ably assisted by their respective spouses and David and Heather Grey however, were more than up to the task. The 100 or so guests were entertained by the Saydo Singers, performing their first concert since their transformation from Male Voice Choir by the addition of some beautiful female voices. What a fantastic start to the proceedings it was!
€100 The fine imposed on motorists caught driving while eating an ice cream
After the entertainment the BBQ was served and an afternoon of fun and fundraising ensued. Anne Roberts when presenting the trophy to the winner of the photographic competition said: “This trophy was commissioned to remind us of the seven years dedicated service Christine Watson gave to the British Legion, before her early demise three years ago. It also serves to remind us that many British Legion Activists are not ex-military but spouses, families and friends.”
Though officially on the summer break the Mollina branch is already planning its next event, a Falklands Memorial Dinner on September 14. Tickets are €25 and limited to 40, with half already sold, so act quickly to avoid disappointment. Contact Barbara on pun shon.dave@gmail.com or call in at the Sado Market fortnightly from July 12.

Spanish Costas are busier, brighter...
In living
Has life become better or worse on the Spanish Costas over the past 30 years? Armed with industrial quantities of Factor-50, author and former resident Terence Kennedy hit the carretera to find out. FLASHBACK: Calle San Miguel in Torremolinos, which was among southern Spain’s original popular tourist destinations.
CHANGING FACE: Calle San Miguel remains popular with locals and tourists alike to this day.
IN the early 80’s, hit by a super sales pitch so hard that if it had been the Titanic the iceberg would have sunk, we bought ‘our dream home on the Costa.’ Back in the old days some property salesmen were so persistent that once they got a foot in the door, they would keep it there until gangrene almost set in. We quickly realised - after buying while still a few years short of our 40th birthdays - that we had personally jumped the gun in our own life pattern, and in doing so only succeeded in bringing down the average expat age in our urbanizacíon from 66 to 65.5. So after completing a book project we eventually sold up and moved on. Last month - three decades on - we returned to a noticeably busier, brighter and bronzer coast. But has life improved in southern Spain over all those years... for more than perhaps the cement manufacturers? According to the famous French proverb, ‘Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose’: the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Well hasta la vista baby; if it weren’t for the street sign where we once called home, we felt we could have been on a different planet entirely. Where our hills were alive with cicadas, now it’s cement mixers and a toll road, and what we paid for our house now barely buys a bike-rack. Where Brits formerly arrived at the airport laden with baked beans, Angel Delight and Marmite, those who still insist they won’t eat ‘foreign muck’ can now buy their own imported choice items in even the smallest supermercados.
Tourism magnet The statistics are truly astonishing: when we left 30 years ago, officially there were just 250,000 foreignborn people living in Spain. Today, deep breath, it’s 4.5 million, or some 10 per cent of the nation’s entire population. The UK’s Financial Times says Spain is the most favoured destination for other Europeans considering moving, chas-
Si señor! A truly enviable lifestyle THERE’S no denying the magnificent quality of life in southern Spain today, with more foreigners than ever able to enjoy it in an era of enormous mobility and cheap travel. It actually cost us on our visit more to park our car at our home airport Toulouse than the price of the flights from France. And once settled into the holiday mode where else, for instance, could an everyday gal afford to buy a ‘genuine’ Gucci bag on the beachfront or if you prefer Louis Vuitton - with the label changed following a quick dab of glue. “No problem señor!” Where else can one live in a t-shirt and shorts for the majority of the year... and skin-cancer be damned? Where else can you browse happily in fleets of shops called ‘Toda Una Euro’ and
not actually find anything priced at a euro? Where else can you brave the throngs of car-hire touts at the airport on arrival and be offered a week’s rental for a breathtaking €1.80 (but then read the [very] fine-print: ‘Mandatory insurance €200’)? Looking back to the 80’s and crossing the dreaded coastal carretera used to be a dice with death. But now all you have to conquer is vertigo as you stride across the overpasses. There are also many more shops of more variety including the top designer brand names as well as numerous Chinese bazaars that are the equivalent to the ‘open-allhours’ corner-stores in the UK. Further food for thought is provided with more restaurants and cafes of every
persuasion than even a customer on steroids could handle. There’s a lifestyle our forefathers could only dream of, in a country where many still believe it is one’s birth-right to sleep for three hours in the afternoon and keep the children out long past midnight. Equally intriguing - especially to anyone ‘of a certain age’ - is that in the main all bar and restaurant toilets can be used by the public, whether customers or not. That dovetails perfectly with the first rule of becoming a senior citizen: never pass a public toilet…

SKYLINE CHANGE: Carihuela Beach today, with Torremolinos a much-changed but everpopular resort with tourists from all over Europe. ing what The Economist in London says is now the world’s 10th-highest quality of life. The British authorities estimate that the real population of Britpats living in Spain is far bigger than official Spanish figures suggest, at anywhere up to a million. And around 800,000 are permanent residents. Are you as gobsmacked as I was to learn from the BBC that, contrary to popular belief, only 21.5 per cent are in fact over the age of 65?
Never mind the residents, how about the tourists? As the world’s second-biggest tourism magnet after France, Spain has seen numbers rocket to a staggering 75 million annually. That’s a whole heap of suntan lotion and Ambar Especial Lager, especially on the Costas! But let’s not wear any rose-tinted glasses. The Spanish coast in the 80’s was already far from resembling that fabled and quaint little fishing port with a few bobbing boats that was Torremolinos,
FLASHBACK: Carihuela Beach in Torremolinos when the resort started becoming popular with tourists, initially mainly from Scandinavia. when its first hotel opened on the Costa del Sol in 1960 and helped along with other key resorts of the time to unleash today’s torrent of tourists. Even by the time we hit the coast in the days when shoulder pads and big hair dos were in fashion, and when Wham, Donna Summers and Stevie Wonder were in the British pop charts, you had about as much chance of finding a summer car park space in the major resorts as you did of winning El Gordo.
Sunny outlook to taxing thoughts IN a globalising world Spain may cling on to its unique and familiar habits. But for how long? One amazing change noted since the 80’s is how industrious the otherwise laid-back Spanish appear to have become. The Spanish actually spend more time working than many of their counterparts in Europe: 1,691 hours each year while the British put in 1,674 and the Germans just 1,371, says the OECD. These days statistics also show that almost 60 per cent of Spaniards never have a siesta. Yet some things have stayed stubbornly the same, including Spain’s agonised relationship with Gibraltar.
I found it almost comforting that, just as decades ago, one can still whizz along the carretera and see The Rock rising magnificently out of the mist, yet not encounter a single road-sign pointing to it until virtually within sight of its ‘OTT-English’ teashops and red telephone kiosks. Nor are many expats (here’s looking at you, the Brits) apparently any more fluent in the local language than they were 30 years ago. One quick survey recently showed that a third rarely or never meet Spanish people, apart from in shops and restaurants, and that 60 per cent speak little or no Spanish. Indeed, we met one Brit who is
ABOUT THE AUTHOR IRISH journalist, author and addictive traveller Terence Kennedy lived briefly on the Spanish coast with his Dutch wife Elise in the early 1980s, after crossing some 76 countries in a
The song of the cement mixer was already pervasive, as Spanish speculators fell over each other to colonise vast tracts of coastline and were steadily forced further and further inland. As land pressure increased, buying into a complex which ‘overlooks the sea’ could mean you’d need to drag your bucket and spade several kilometres each way to get there, up hills which would make ideal Land Rover testing ground. To an outside eye at least, the worst of the excesses are now past though the development continues apace (and amazingly to this once-burned writer at least, the often-maligned timeshare is actually experiencing a resurgence). Fewer deserted building skeletons bear witness to the at-times greed and hopeless optimism of the 80’s.
Amazing beaches
GOOD LIFE: British expats enjoy the Spanish lifestyle... but many still speak only English. endearingly restricted to ordering petrol in one of the three or four amounts he can actually ask for in Spanish. Even so he has comfortably lived life in Spain for more than 15 years after a near lifetime working in the Far and Middle East after heading abroad following the still clearly remembered UK miners’ strikes and three-day week.

Having at times lived in tax-free states he wistfully points out the only thing nowadays easily obtainable untaxed in Spain - following the 2008 recession and a tightening of council belts - is the sun. “But hey ho,” he jokingly says. “That’s a small price to pay to feel the sun on my back for eight months of every year and to have London less than three hours away.”
magazine editor. Among his books, the eccentric story of their oddball travels was published as ‘A Nonsense of Direction’ (now out of print but due for re-publication as an e-book). When static, the two now live in SW France.
EU rules have made it marginally less of a paperchase for expats to live here (but who knows for the Brexpats from 2019!). Additionally much of the previous corruption has been stemmed as some of the worst offenders - including many mayors and compadres - languish under the state’s hospitality. Polish up the crystal-ball and what might the Costas look like in another 30 years, when the only way this observer might be around is in an urn? Residents and visitors alike will certainly be fatter, echoing the global obesity trends which are already so flabbily obvious here. It will be (even) hotter thanks to climate change, with Mr Trump’s petulant blocking antics a mere speed-bump in history. Contrary to what you might expect, the currently at times choked summer highways will be quieter and the air will be healthier, once the dawning of the electric car truly has broken. And keeping fit might mean power-gliding along the growing boardwalk networks along the Costas on walker-drones. The amazing beaches will still be packed, the beach bars passed from generation to generation will no doubt still be doing a roaring trade, the UK’s Daily Mail will still insist Germans are buying up 99year leases on beach deck chairs, and among more sensible Europeans, the Brits will still be burning to a bright-crimson crisp as further proof of constantly living the dream or of a great holiday visit.

Pound stumbles on GE2017 result Ask the expert Peter Loveday Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com
ONCE again the currency market has been rocked by UK political uncertainty, with the general election triggering notable shifts in the pound. In the two weeks surrounding the result of GE2017, the GBP/EUR exchange rate shifted by more than €0.026. The euro’s gains against the pound may have been more substantial if not for the European Central Bank’s (ECB) latest interest rate decision. What’s been happening? The year 2017 is certainly shaping up to be as full of twists and turns as 2016. While election campaigning was suspended in the wake of horrific terror incidents in Manchester and London, the election was held on June 8 as planned. However, the outcome certainly wasn’t what Theresa May had planned when she called for the election in April. Initially the Conservatives were expected to walk the election, increasing their majority and
OUTCOME: Interesting to see what happens to the pound over the next few weeks. strengthening Prime Minister Theresa May’s hand in Brexit negotiations in the process. But the tide of public opinion turned, and in the end May failed to secure the 326 seats needed to form a majority government. The result wasn’t the continuation of the status quo some investors were hoping for and the pound fell by around 2 per cent as a result. Although the GBP losses were nowhere near as dramatic as the ones recorded in the wake of Brexit, the UK’s even more uncertain outlook
did leave Sterling struggling despite Theresa May’s swift decision to form a coalition with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). The euro did come under some pressure of its own however as the European Central Bank (ECB) cut inflation forecasts. The reduction in expectations for inflation reduced the odds of the ECB opting to reduce quantitative easing or increase interest rates in the near future, limiting the euro’s gains. What do you need to look out for?
It will be interesting to see what happens to the pound as the dust settles over the next few weeks. Although it was boosted by the fact that a higher-than-expected number of Bank of England policymakers had voted in favour of raising interest rates, it was also unsettled as the decision to Brexit negotiations are just beginning, and Theresa May had asserted her commitment to continuing with the discussions as part of a minority government. If it appears that May has lost some of her sway in Brussels as a result of the election outcome, fears that the UK will emerge from Brexit with a bad deal could put the pound under further pressure. However, some suggest that Theresa May has indeed altered her approach and intends to target a ‘Soft Brexit,’ which could help GBP climb sharply.

Germany calling Catalan unemployed
WARNER BROS -v- WANDA GROUP A MAJOR disagreement has broken out between movie giant Warner Bros and Spanish cinema chain Cinesa over the inclusion of a trailer with Wonder Woman. The Chinese-owned Cinesa is furious that the Digital Cinema Package file that was supplied to its 45 theatres included a trailer for King Arthur: The Legend of the Sword which is the latest ‘blockbuster’ from director Guy Ritchie, due for August release in Spain and forecast to lose €130 million. Warner’s have taken this action to embed the trailer with the hugely successful Wonder Woman film to try to promote King Arthur and has refused to remove the trailer from the copies supplied to Cinesa. In retaliation, Cinesa has either covered the screen with an apology for a technical problem or let the trailer run without sound or in some cases vision which spurred Warner Bros Spain to issue a tweet giving details of competitor cinemas which screen the trailer in full. Cinesa which is owned by Chinese entertainment company, Wanda has deplored the decision to embed the trailer

and to tweet the detail of competing cinemas but has also gone on to publicly blame Warner Bros for making it impossible for Spanish audiences to benefit from special offers. The reason for this, according to Cinesa is the fact that rather than take a percentage of the ticket sales for its movies it instead charges a fixed fee for the screening of films, meaning that unless any cinema is prepared to reduce profits, then no special offers can be made. Whilst looking at this dispute from a purely national perspective, with just 45
Cinesa cinemas in Spain, Warner Bros is hardly likely to be particularly worried. However in China, Wanda owns 497 cinemas and 3,947 screens, 661 cinemas and 8,200 screens in the USA and 244 cinemas with 2,200 screens across Europe and this could become a major battle between two giant organisations, especially as the Chinese corporation is also a major producer of films. Time will tell whether this spat becomes a major war or simply disappears with both sides claiming the moral high ground.
AS the economy in Germany continues to boom, there is a skills shortage which has led companies to recruit workers from Catalonia. The state of Baden-Württemberg is acutely aware of the lack of young skilled technicians and engineers and has entered into an agreement with the Catalonian government to train youngsters and then offer them jobs. This is quite a challenge for technicians as they need to be able to speak good German, but the Goethe Institute in Barcelona has been assisting with intensive language courses and provided that applicants accept that the weather in Germany can be less clement than that of Spain, this could be a way forward for the well-educated yet unemployed. Salaries and living standards are good and it is only a 12hour drive or two-hour flight from Stuttgart to Barcelona.

DONALD TUSK, Justin Trudeau (Canada) and Jean-Claude Juncker discuss CETA.
EWN online Join the conversation on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/e uroweeklynews
PSOE abstain on CETA vote AFTER initially indicating that it would vote in favour of the E U -C an ad a Tra d e Tre a ty (CETA), the PSOE Party decided to abstain. This decision upset the minority ruling PP government as Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy accused the main opposition of potentially making Spain a laughing stock amongst its colleague states in the European Union. In th e ev en t, w h en th e v o te was held in the lower house of the Spanish Parliament, it went through with 179 votes in favour
and 79 against, so the abstention of the 81 PSOE MPs effectively made no difference. The upper house is dominated by PP senators, so its vote is a foregone conclusion. The European Union voted to enter into this agreement which would make trade between the EU and Canada easier and with less restrictions, but each member state must approve the agreement and then a vote in the European Parliament must ratify the decision before the agreement can enter into law.
Young people earn less than those they replace THERE have been winners and losers in the growth of employment in Spain with workers under 40 seeing a real drop in the value of wages. It would appear that there is a significant difference between the amounts paid to the young and those over 60 according to a report from the National Statistics Institute (INE) which suggests that age and length of service play a huge role in salaries. Although these figures are historical, the information is illuminating as they show that as new workers are recruited to replace those who retire, they will invariably
earn less than those they are taking over from. Average salaries for those under 24 are estimated to be €11,288 which is a massive 5.1 per cent drop on the previous year and in fact all average salaries have been reduced for those up to the age of 50 and it isn’t until they break 60 that the average wage increases by 2.6 per cent. According to the INE report, those who are older and have greater experience are in the main valued by employers whilst younger people are prepared to take lower wages initially in order to obtain work and to start their careers.

Either shape up or ship out LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT I DUNNO, perhaps it is me. Of course I sympathise with the victims of the Grenfell horror. Of course I find the initial results of the nationwide fire hazard investigations extremely worrying. What I can’t get my head round is all those who are now coming out of the woodwork and using this tragedy to whinge about the conditions they all ‘have’ to live in. Among others, those who reside on the notorious Broadwater Estate are a case in point. ‘Why should we have to put up with these awful slum conditions?’ they whine. Why doesn’t the government (natch!) do something about it? Well just a minute. Ill-advised as high rise accommodation may have been, they were initially built in good faith. The rules governing public buildings were, and are, far more stringent than private projects. None of them began their existence as slum dwellings.
BROADWATER ESTATE: None of the buildings began their existence as slum dwellings. None of them started out covered in graffiti, with lift shafts stinking of urine, or knee high in rubbish used condoms and drug paraphernalia. Flats originally built to accommodate families of four to six persons were never meant to cope with benefit scroungers boasting 10 or 15 offsprings, or jam-packed with scores of ‘sub-lets.’
All these conditions are brought on by those who move into them. Human beings create the enviroments they reside in. It’s time many of these residents started to get their own houses in order, rather than blaming all and sundry for their woes. Stop thinking about their so-called ‘rights’ and start concentrating more on their own wrongs would be a start.
All over the UK there are scores of high rise estates, which are proudly and properly run by local councils and caring tenants. With their carefully tended gardens, playgrounds for the children and hardworking responsible residents, they are wonderful examples of how decent human beings, however diverse their cultures and backgrounds, can live in perfect-
ly harmonious and orderly surroundings. I suggest those who feel all the blame for their ‘misfortunes’ lay outside their own walls, either shape up or ship out. They are a drain on resources, a threat to democracy and utterly useless contributors toward any future of the country that nurtures them. I do feel sorry for the Yemenis. I always found them an extremely happy and caring people. I shall never forget their kindness when I found myself hopelessly stranded in the desert. Believe me, if I’d also known the steel runway reinforcing I helped deliver to that secret Saudi air base, would one day be used to launch death and destruction among them, I would have ‘accidently’ allowed my truck to topple off that extremely precarious mountain pass! (It’s in the book!) Let’s hope peace and tranquility will once again prevail for these likeable people in the not too distant future. Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

Flying by the seat of their pants - passengers and pilots Nora Johnson

AT this time of year, air travel’s uppermost in many people’s minds. Not always a pleasant experience what with queuing, flight delays, ‘misunderstandings’ etc. easyJet recently denied claims that, ahead of a flight from Malaga to Bristol, its pilot announced there was a ‘50/50’ chance both its engines would work, before asking passengers for a ‘show of hands’ whether or not they should take off or stay put - triggering panic on board. easyJet subsequently confirmed the ‘technical issue,’ strongly denying the request for a vote, while one witness said the hysteria may have been a ‘misunderstanding.’ Nonetheless, cabin crew do liven things up with the PA system -
AIR TRAVEL: Pilots can liven things up with the PA system. occasionally at the expense of passengers. On an early flight to Paris, a BA pilot announced: “Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to inform you that this is my very first flight... (long pause while passengers glared at each other in panic)... of the day.” Cue relief all round. BA again: “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard this British Airways flight to Denver. If your travel plans do not include visiting
Denver, then now would be the perfect time to make yourself known to a member of the cabin crew.” A Virgin flight attendant once announced: “It’s customary after a long-haul flight to ask for volunteers to clean the toilets. If you wish to volunteer, please stand up before the fasten seat-belt sign’s been switched off.” And this during the safety briefing on the Canadian airline Westjet: “In the event of a sudden drop
in cabin pressure, oxygen masks will drop down. If you’re travelling with someone who needs help, put your own mask on first, then help your husband.” After a jet landed at Heathrow in a storm, the Aussie pilot forgot to switch off the PA system.

THURSDAY THOUGHTS By Graham Braben, Almería
Viability of sheds MY granddad had a shed. It was full of sacks, various garden tools, some sort of noxious liquids for making his plants into Triffids overnight, oh and a mangle. I’m pretty sure if he could see how sheds are being used today then granddad would be astounded. Although we don’t know for sure, I would guess he can’t get television where he is; I imagine Bolivian prisons are pretty strict! Yes, things in the shed department have moved on at quite apace since granddad’s days of freedom. In fact today there is something called Shedonmics research. Honestly, I’m not making it up; people are employed to assess the economic viability of sheds! I do know how important sheds are though. We lived in New Zealand for a short time and you would often see that a ‘…real Kiwi bloke’s shed…’ was a major selling point for a house. I was never able to find out what happened in them though. But today sheds have taken on a new life. According to Shedonmics experts - sorry, no matter how often I say it, it still sounds like it belongs in a Monty Python sketch. Seriously though, they - not the Pythons but the Shedonomists - say that a third of people in the UK want to renovate their shed so they can rent it out. Which is just as well because the number of people who would like a shedcation - please stop laughing, this is serious stuff!! - has nearly doubled. Forget 5-star hotels or taking to the open road with a tent, people are now looking for a shed away from home. However, it’s not just holidays that have increased the profile of sheds. Apparently, over 10 per cent of men have admitted to planning a surprise for their partner in the shed. You can picture it can’t you? Soft music, flowers and then that most romantic of lines, “Darling, I’ve bought you a new mangle.” Readers interested in submitting articles for this guest column should send articles of 3-400 words on topics felt to be of interest to the cosmopolitan EWN readership to editorial@euroweeklynews.com.

... AND THE CROWD WENT WILD! Johnny G’s first concert of the summer lights up Mijas Pueblo THOSE who travelled up to the mountain village of Mijas last month to see the fabulous Johnny G with his Legends of Soul and his gorgeous Soul Sisters enjoyed a great night out, one they will never forget. As the sun JOHNNY set over the G: A great Costa del Sol night out.
Johnny G presented his spectacular show including some of the best entertainers on the Costa del Sol. In a romantic setting, under the stars, in the wonderful open-air amphitheatre of Mijas, happy revellers stood on their seats and danced in the aisles well into the early hours. What is more Spotlight Events, the producers of this musical extravaganza, had also laid on luxurious coaches from the Costa del Sol so those who managed to get seats didn’t have to worry about parking or driving, they could enjoy a few drinks and party on. Johnny G took an enthusiastic audience on a brilliant journey through the archives of Soul, from the earliest days of Motown with hits from Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson, Marvin Gaye, The Drifters, Stevie Wonder and many more, right through to the decadent days of disco with the likes of The Real Thing, Candi Staton and Tavares. One of the highlights was the very eager ‘audience participation’ in a superb tribute to The Blues Brothers! If you missed this show don’t worry as Spotlight Events have scheduled three more shows in Mijas Auditorium this summer but you are advised to book early as in the height of the holiday season the venue may well be full.
The next chance for a night out with Johnny G will be on Saturday July 22 when he presents THE SOUNDS OF THE 70s picking up from where he left us with the Soul show. This upbeat, high octane, spectacular revue includes special guests including The Abba Experience, as well as Alexandra Avery as Tina Turner and her vibrant ‘Mania Dancers.’ Together they will have you boogying in the aisles as they invite you all to join them in a Saturday Night Feverish Disco Inferno. This will be followed by two very different shows in August: THE ELVIS MEMORIAL CONCERT is for one night only on Wednesday August 16, one very special night, exactly 40 years to the day that Elvis Presley died, international Elvis impersonator Johnny G and his team of singers, dancers and musicians present one of Europe’s biggest tributes to the king of Rock’n’Roll. Performing all of your favourite Elvis Presley hits as they celebrate his life and his timeless contribution to the world of popular music. Finally to round off the summer with a bang on Friday August 25 its MURS TO MARS. This is the modern mix, the coast’s newest and most contemporary show, jam-packed with 21st century chart-toppers including the hits of Ed
Sheeran, Rag’n’Bone Man, Louis Johnson, Clean Bandit, Justin Timberlake and many more. Headlining is Johnny G’s 24k Magic tribute to Bruno Mars which is guaranteed to Uptown Funk You Up! With special guest singers and musicians as well as gorgeous dancers this is the show of the summer.

A mountain of odd socks Mike Senker
In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I’M lying in bed and all of a sudden I hear that dreaded noise. It’s the single tone buzz that tells you that there is one serious bad ass mozzie flying round the room. I wave my arms about like a nutter then there is silence. I reach out and get the mozzie spray that I keep next to the bed. I press the nozzle to protect myself from this kamikaze killer... and nothing! I shake the container - there is plenty in there - I press again - still nada. I don’t like waste and I certainly don’t like wasting stuff that I’ve paid for. The case in question this week is products that come in spray form. Either the old-fashioned aerosol type or the newer environmentally friendly pump sprays. Three times this week I’ve had one sell me short. The mozzie spray was the first, the second was some glass cleaner - this was even worse as I could actually see, in the clear container, how much was left. It didn’t matter how many times I pulled the trigger - not a dribble. The third was a pump action sun cream which just packed up. This one at least I could unscrew and pour it out. So, as usual, I ask the question - is it only me? I’ve had expensive eau de toilette atomizers do it and if you have half a bottle of something left do
you take it back to the shop? Well, of course, you can’t because you could have had it for a few months. So you have to chuck it out. There is one mystery in life which I have been trying to solve for years and to this day have got no nearer to solving this problem. Now I know this happens to every man I know and, I bet, to millions I don’t. So here’s the question. WHERE DO ALL THE ODD SOCKS GO??? I definitely wear two socks and, for sure, I put two into the laundry basket and they are then transferred to the washing machine. And that’s when it happens. One or two disappear into sock land. Somewhere in the world there must be a mountain of odd socks as high as Everest. Where do they go? There was actually a study done which revealed that the average man loses15 socks a year leaving them with loads of mismatches. So, with the average Brit living to 81 it means you lose 1,215 socks over a lifetime costing you about €3,000. By the way, that’s 84 million odd socks just in the UK and with all these statistics and money spent - guess what - no-one came up with an answer. Makes you wonder doesn’t it? The silly season is approaching. The holidaymakers will arrive and nothing will be the same till mid-September. There will be loads of people about and most will be having a fun time with the family but some will act like idiots. But then, of course, that gives me plenty to be grumpy about!

LEGALLY SPEAKING ITV tests to become stricter 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. ITV TEST: Increase in fees is likely.
THE ITV test, the Spanish equivalent of the MOT, is set to become much stricter from 2018. Elements being toughened up in particular is the area of pollutant emissions as well as a large part of the vehicle’s security systems that are controlled electronically. The process to enforce the tests began almost three years ago with the publication of a European directive. The Spanish government hopes to have passed the legislation via Royal Decree before this summer to come into force in 2018. The process has been accelerated and reinforced as a result of the so-called ‘dieselgate’ surrounding Volkswagen and the resultant doubts that arose over diesel emissions. Although the changes, aimed at improving inspections of emissions, still have to overcome pitfalls, as they were originally not looking at the control of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emitted by cars, which is classed as one of the worst air pollutants and which was the main focus of the Volkswagen emissions violations.
Now the CITA, an international working group that works on improving vehicle inspections, has developed its own protocol to adequately measure the NOx as well as detect possible fraud or manipulation in a vehicle’s readings. Field tests are expected to be completed next month and by the end of the year, along with a manual with the maximum NOx limits, the protocols for its measurement and the procedures to verify that anti-pollution devices have not been manipulated, should be in place. With this, Luis Gutierrez, president of the association Aeca-ITV, said the goal of the industry would be to incorporate these protocols “as soon as possible” across ITV stations. In 2018 it is also expected for ITV tests to greater assess security systems under electronic control such as airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners. However, to do this, access to the vehicle’s switchboard would be needed and information about the systems shared, which some say will mean an increase in ITV fees.

Inheritance tax in Mallorca? MY wife and I are residents in Mallorca and I want to ask about inheritance tax.

David Searl You and the Law in Spain
€500,000 and your wife inherits your half, this is €250,000. Take away €180,000 and you have a t ax base of €70,000. A spouse has a further deduct i on of €25,000,
bringing the base down to €50,000. The Balearics Region now applies a tax rate of one per cent to estates up to €700,000. This gives you a tax of €500. Whoops, we forgot the insurance policy. The first €12,000 of your €20,000 is tax exempt, so you must pay one per cent of €8,000, or €80, more.

Kisses sweeter Trudy Stewart RECENTLY, everywhere I go, it seems there are holidaying couples arguing. Research shows that almost 40 per cent of couples have a row on holiday, with 5 per cent arguing within minutes of arriving at their destination! After all that time saving and looking forward to your holiday, what i s i t t h a t m a k e s u s arg u e when we do finally get there? The intense heat of late has got to be a factor after all, being too hot can make us irritable at the best of times. Add to that the lure of cheap alcohol and you’re well on your way to troubled times ahead. Another fuel to add to the fire is when o n e h a l f o f t h e co u p le spends most of the holiday flirting with t h e wa i t e r / wa itres s a n d checking out the hot bods on the beach.

Don’t lose, just snooze This is the mantra for Emporio BEDS, the first stop for comfort MANY people suffer from sleep deprivation and quite often, the solution is simply the need to buy the correct bed and mattress. With more than 45 years in the business of supplying beds, of which 13 years have been spent on the Costa del Sol, Meyer Wahnich can quite reasonably claim to know what he is talking about, especially as he is fluent in seven languages. His shop, Emporio BEDS which is situated in San Pedro Alcantara has a huge stock of the latest ranges from Spanish, European and British manufacturers and what’s more, when you visit the store, you can ask for advice on what is likely to be best for your needs. With such a wide stock and also the ability to make custom mattresses and divans, it will be like visiting a Harley street tailor as your budget, mattress preference, room size and preference for mattress springing and need for cool comfort will all be taken into account. Many people have unknowingly purchased mattresses that are too hard for them, but a visit to Emporio BEDS will allow you to rectify the situation by purchasing a toper - a type of Scandinavian over mattress which can easily resolve the hard bed problem.
A tiny selection of the beds and mattresses at Emporio BEDS. Assuming that the average person sleeps for eight hours each night, then over a 10 year period, you can expect at least three years in bed, so you need to get things right from the beginning. This is where the personal touch from someone who likes to put his customers to sleep is so very important and with a huge range at the shop and the ability to satisfy special customer requirements especially for the larger and more
exotic beds, this is the place to visit. All customers are welcome regardless of their budgets as this is a company that wants to help everyone to obtain the best value possible and the most comfortable night’s sleep. When you consider that this is a company that supplies the trade as well as individuals, it is clear that Emporio BEDS offers something that a department store with staff changing reg-
ularly cannot do. There is private parking for customers and a friendly welcome guaranteed and when you settle on your ideal beds, delivery is free and old beds can be removed for recycling. If you live some distance from San Pedro, it’s not a problem because you can view their two very detailed websites www.emporiobeds.com and www.absolutebeds.com and then speak to Meyer on the phone to discuss your order as he will deliver along the Costa del Sol.

Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
JUAN CARLOS went from hero to zero in 2012 when he broke a hip while elephant shooting in Zimbabwe with his mistress. The economic crisis was blighting Spanish lives at that time and suddenly Spain’s king -then honorary president of the World Wild Life Fund - was seen as an ageing, florid Borbon. He became even more of a zero after his 2014 abdication but never let it be forgotten that Juan Carlos was a hero. He cleared the way for democracy after Franco, who appointed him his successor, died in 1975. He was a superhero when he short-circuited an attempted coup d’état in 1981. B u t
www.euroweeklynews.com
Passage of time he was omitted from the celebrations that marked the 40th anniversary of the 1977 elections, the first of the Transition. Sadly, Juan Carlos is now the elderly relative no-one wants at the party.
Going their own way SEVERAL socialist mayors in Cataluña will vote in the unauthorised independence referendum set for October 1. Outside the region veins are throbbing visibly on PSOE brows but it would be ingenuous to believe that all Catalan socialists follow the party line. Meanwhile Oscar Puente, spokesman for the PSOE executive committee, said there was nothing reproachable in the mayors’ attitude, so long as they did not facilitate the referendum. Cataluña always provided the PSOE socialists with a comforting slab of votes but no longer. That’s not only because Podemos arrived t o

split the vote or because Republican-leaning socialists drifted to the ERC party, but because they want a referendum. Ironically there are probably more pro-independence voters in the PSOE-PSC than there are in the old centre-right CiU party now reincarnated as the pro-secession PdeCat.
Bought and sold A PARLIAMENTARY committee has been questioning the former Partido Popular treasurer Luis Barcenas. They are probing alleged double accounting and irregular donations from big-name compaPODEMOS spokeswoman Irene Montero’s filibuster during the failed Vote of No Confidence debate fleetingly mentioned the Partido Popular’s Abortion Reform Bill. This was eventually abandoned when it proved to be a vote-loser even inside the PP, but amazingly the now-forgotten legislation is never thrown in Ma-
FEATURE
nies that later received juicy government contracts. Mariano Rajoy, president of the Spanish government, claimed that the committee hearing served no purpose and he was absolutely right. Barcenas refused to answer questions and after spending 19 months on remand he will never open his mouth again. The ex-treasurer was bought off in 2009 when Gurtel first came to light, leaving his post but remaining with privileges at PP party headquarters. He was sold in January 2013 after he blew the whistle when no-one came to his aid once a stash of Swiss money came to light. Apart from Rajoy and his ‘stay strong Luis’ text message, that is. Since he left prison in January 2015, however, all is sweetness, light and silence between Barcenas and the party whose funds he so deftly amassed. Bought, sold and bought again.
Short memories riano Rajoy’s face. The Bill thought up by former Justice minister Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon, and with which Rajoy was allegedly most happy, would have forced desperate women to return to backstreet butchers if they wanted to
terminate a pregnancy. Not that this would have affected the wives and daughters of the affluent, including or especially - practising Catholics. As in the Francoist past they would have gone to London, instead. And then to Confession.

The prevention or reduction of religious radicalism SIR, As far as I know the majority of religions practised in the UK are hierarchal in nature thereby the Archbishops of Canterbury/York and the Moderator of the Church of Scotland are the leaders of the Protestant faith, The Chief Rabbi of the Jewish faith and the Archbishop of Westminster of the Catholic faith. Due to this hierarchal structure any official religious preacher who goes ‘off base’ is brought to heel by their superiors and corrected. If their conduct does not improve they may lose their positions. Many people are not aware of the fact that the Islamic faith has no such structure as each mosque chooses its own Imam who is not subservient to any higher authority and may not even be formally educated in his own religion. Would it not be an idea to make it compulsory that the Imams of all mosques in the UK are responsible to The Grand Mufti (honestly it is an authentic term!) and his council of, presumably, lesser Muftis who would license each Imam and supervise that his teachings are in line with their accredit-

ed version of the Quran. This would then eradicate the type of teachings and radicalisation of the likes of the Finsbury Park mosque. Alister Bottomley Pollensa, Mallorca
Heaven’s above. A locked church! WHAT a sad reflection of how low some people in modern society will stoop when a church has to lock up to ensure that either vandals or thieves do not take advantage of open doors.

Three dead in Torremolinos crash IT’S about time the Spanish government started a reeducation programme for Spanish drivers. The Spanish are lovely people but behind the wheel of a car they are just crazy. Ok! some expats are no better. But the Spanish have no concept or awareness of danger. When they approach a roundabout or a stop sign they have no intention of slowing down or stopping. It’s full speed ahead. Little wonder there are so many accidents. Lloyd Lupin

SINCE December a dead dog is lying by the side of the road from Los Gallardos towards Garrucha. It’s a podenco, probably abandoned by a brutal hunter, then killed by a ruthless driver, then left to rot. I have talked several times to the Local Police in Los Gallardos who say they have called the institution responsible for removing dead animals from the roadsides, but nothing happens. I have e-mailed SEPRONA (Servicio de Protección de la Naturaleza) several times about this dog, asking if they are responsible for removing it, but no reply. When I tried to send a message from their website a sign turned up saying my e-mail address was not correct, which is nonsense. Does anybody know which institution is supposed to remove these dead animals? I thought rotting animals by the Spanish roadsides belonged to earlier and darker times. Or are they back? Britt Arenander Huerta Nueva, Malaga
No respect I DREAD this time of year because the cycle yobs are out in force, especially on weekends. In towns they don’t stop at crossings, even when people are half way across them because they have no number plate and know they won’t be caught. They pull straight out on roundabouts, forcing cars to stop and they go through red lights. They are all on the clock, trying to knock a minute off their last best time getting from A to B. Michael Hill Trapiche, Velez-Malaga
On the rocks I HAVE been coming to Orihuela since 2001 and got such a shock when I arrived this week to see the rocky state of Playas Flamenca and Cala Mosca. I am a keen swimmer but I don’t know how anyone could negotiate their way into the water on both beaches! The rocks extend well out even to a swimmer’s depth. It is almost literally impossible for anyone to SAFELY enter the water! And to think these beaches have been awarded BLUE FLAG status (or so I believe)!!! Name and address withheld

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Is someone trying to sidetrack you by casting doubt on a relationship or plan? Something is going on so make sure that you have all the facts. It would be gullible of you to take everything at face value. You have good supportive colleagues and may seek their advice. Be optimistic as the weekend comes and remember your sense of humour.

Showing confidence means others see you as being very much in control. They need to see that you can be trusted. If a plan is not going in the right direction, be prepared to change tack. Changes should not be made to financial plans until you are sure of your ground. Romantically, you are being admired.

ragona, which boasts Roman history, winding mediaeval streets and one of the most popular naturist beaches in the country. It also happens to be one of largest naturist beaches in Europe. Its relatively isolated location means the beach and its surrounding area have a fairly low degree of occupancy. It’s a great setting if you enjoy nature. 5. Platja Balmins, Sitges, Costa Dorada The Mediterranean town of Sitges is best known for its International Film Festival and Carnival, which is held annually. The town was popularised during the 19th century when wealthy merchants built their lavish mansions here. Today Sitges is considered the gay capital of Spain and its annual programme of lively and colourful festivals reflect that. Many of the beaches are also gay and nudist friendly, such as the Cala del Home Mort (Dead Man’s Beach) and the mixed nudist beach of Platja Balmins which is between the port of Aiguadolc and Sant Sebastia.

The sand and pebble beach stretches out some hundreds metres and gives way to spectacular views of Gibraltar’s Rock and Africa’s Northern Atlas mountain range. 2.

It is all go for you at the moment. Not only will you be particularly clear-thinking but your intellect will be sharp as a knife. Your enthusiasm spills over from your business life to personal matters, leading to a hectic and eventful time all week. When it comes to romance, a positive and dynamic approach stands you in good stead.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) It is now important that you are clear about the person you wish to spend your time with because you may have more than one option. Plans that you started last week are now showing progress. Keeping the pace growing is essential to beat rivals. It is not an easy week by any means but it should not be boring.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) A tendency to be emotional because of a setback should be avoided. When you feel the pressure rising, remember that nothing is worth risking your health for. Sound out friends and colleagues to avoid overreacting. It is a week when you realise how someone close is able to be a great help. The question is, can you accept it?
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) There is sensitivity in your chart. It is possible to overlook someone who needs your time and consideration. You are not a mind-reader and they may not directly seek your help. Be aware, then, of how others are faring.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) When someone asks you this week where you are going, will you know the answer? You will make progress if you do. If you're not sure, then there is no point in going full steam ahead. This is a week to consider your options on all fronts, particularly in business.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) A personal decision needs to be made. No major changes are necessary so long as you have a firm plan. It is not so much that caution is required, rather more that you should give yourself time to consider. In the longer term, you may see this week as a turning point. .
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is a week of planning and making changes. Some things click into place and you realise that you are on your way to completing an ambition. The trick is to manage it without upsetting people on the home front.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Are you putting off a decision affecting others? This is a good time to take the bull by the horns. Keep an eye on finances involving younger people. Sometimes, you are better able to help in other ways, perhaps by giving encouragement or advice.
SAGITARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Your activities this week may seem to be ones best done alone. To a certain extent this is true. However, if you wish to make others feel important and gain their support in the future, you should involve them. You don't have to take advice which is given but be diplomatic when not acting on it. Hurt feelings can cost money.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Are you feeling less positive than usual? We all do at times. If energy is low get out for a long walk in a relaxing place. Perhaps watch a film that raises your spirits. There is about you a kind of regret and fondness for the past, but there is nothing wrong with sentimentality so long as it does not cloud your picture of the future. That can be bright indeed.

IT’S New Year 2001 in New York City and Jillian Guthrie, a troubled young journalist, stumbles onto a tantalizing mystery: the same man, unaged, stands alongside Ulysses S Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, and Gandhi in three different photographs spanning 85 years of history. In another part of town, Will - an enigmatic 33-year-old of immense charm, wit, and intelligence - looks forward to the New Year with hope and trepidation. Haunted by his secret past and shadowed by a dangerous stranger, he finds himself the object of an intense manhunt spearheaded by an ambitious Vatican emissary and an elderly former UN envoy, Hanna. During the next 48 hours, a catastrophic event unites Will, Jillian, and Hanna and puts them in the crosshairs of a centuries-old, international conspiracy. Together, the three must unravel an ancient curse that stretches back two millennia and beyond, and face a primal evil that threatens their lives and thousands more.

DVD Dunkirk Directed by: Christopher Nolan. Starring: Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance, Harry Styles, James D’Arcy, Fionn Whitehead. Dunkirk opens as hundreds of thousands of British and Allied troops are surrounded by enemy forces. Trapped on the beach with their backs to the sea, they face an impossible situation as the enemy closes in. In May 1940, Germany advanced into France trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. Under air and ground cover from British and French forces, troops were slowly and methodically evacuated from the beach using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel that could be found. At the end of this heroic mission, 330,000 French, British, Belgian and Dutch soldiers were safely evacuated.

Referendum stamps
FOLLOWING a freedom of information request by the Gibraltar Broadcasting Corporation, it has been revealed 30 local youngsters are in arrears with student loans. The British government-owned Student Loans Company confirmed the total was £28,500 - an average of £950 per student - and it may be the lack of filing of paperwork is the cause for the arrears.
IN order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Referendum on sovereignty, the Gibraltar Philatelic Bureau has issued stamps to the value of £8.56p. Those who would like to use them on mail will be in for an expensive time, as there is a single one for £5 and a sheetlet containing four stamps at 22p, 64p, 70p and £2.
Pay and display THE latest area where there will be new pay and display restrictions in place will be on Bayside Road to provide shortterm parking for non-residents. Many use the sporting amenities, restaurants or visit the World Trade Centre, so controlled parking will be in place from 9am to 7pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 2pm on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays.

Guardia Civil asked to remove uniforms before entering Gibraltar THERE was a certain irony when a photograph appeared on Social Media showing a member of the Guardia Civil in uniform making a purchase in Gibraltar. It is the Guardia Civil officers who are responsible for checking those leaving Gibraltar to ensure that they are not carrying dutiable goods above approved limits and only last week, a senior officer visited La Linea and called on Gibraltar to be more helpful to stop tobacco smuggling. It now appears that many of the cigarettes that still find their way back to Spain have in fact been produced and sold by Spanish manufacturers to wholesalers in Gibraltar, thus ensuring significant funds to be paid to the Spanish government. In the case of the Guardia Civil officer, those who are not happy with Spain’s stance on sovereignty over the Rock commented that this was a deliberate case of showing how the future would look if Spain is successful in its demands but that may be a conspiracy theory too far! Local authorities have however contacted their opposite numbers across the border pointing out that it is polite convention that members of military forces - which is what the Guardia Civil Force is - do not enter another jurisdiction

Containing chemicals which reduce inflammation and pain, the plant may help that burn heal quicker. Try cutting off a leaf, opening it up and applying it directly to the affected area, avoiding any open wounds. You could also make your own gel by standing the leaves upright and allowing the plant’s resin to drain off for a couple of minutes before removing the lighter gel with a knife. Locally produced honey can also help treat light burns. A natural humectant with antiseptic properties, this golden liquid will moisturise the skin and reduce inflammation. If you have burnt your face, why not try mixing some honey with your aloe vera gel and making your own face mask. Alternatively mix honey with oatmeal for an ultra-soothing pack. Leave either of these to work for 10 to 15 minutes and then moisturise immediately. One of Axarquia’s most popular crops is the avocado, which can also work wonders on sunburn. The creamy fruit contains healthy fats, vitamins and antioxidants, making it ideal to soothe sizzled skin. Cut the fruit in half and mash up its inside to form a paste. Mix this with one tablespoon of olive oil or aloe vera gel and once again, leave on the skin as a mask for 15 to 20 minutes.

Snoring What is snoring and why does it happen? Snoring is the sound of vibrations in the soft tissue of a person’s throat caused by moving air whilst a person is asleep. This vibration happens when the tissue relaxes and becomes flaccid to rest while we sleep. Does snoring affect a person’s health? Snoring affects rest and reduces a person’s quality of sleep, which can cause fatigue and irritability. Snoring also tends to be part of more serious conditions such as sleep apnoea. During the apnoea a person will momentarily stop breathing, triggering the body to wake up. These triggers can occur up to 100 times an hour in some cases. Who suffers from snoring? Snoring occurs in both sexes, 65 per cent of men snore regularly and so do
35 per cent of women. It is believed around 4 per cent of the adult population suffers from sleep apnoea. Can it be treated? Surgery used to be the only solution to snoring. These days however we can use photon laser treatments for painless, long lasting results. It works by hardening the pharyngeal area through heating the soft tissue. Photon therapy can eliminate snoring, minimise the effects of sleep apnoea and give a person good quality sleep. Patients notice a difference after the first treatment. Can anyone get this type of treatment? Before undergoing any sort of treatment, it is essential to speak to a medical expert. In general we can say that photon therapy can be used on any type of person who snores and wants to better their sleep without having surgery.

You got that gut feeling? WE all get that ‘gut feeling’ from time to time, but scientists say it is actually a thing as they believe they’ve found a link between human guts and feelings. Research has been ongoing for several years on the bacteria in the gut and a new study from UCLA in America has found a connection between the gut and emotional responses. They had 40 women divided into two groups by the composition of their gut bacteria. Their brain activity for emotional responses to images was then measured and it was found that the brains of women with different bacterial profiles reacted differently to the stimuli.
May be a link between human guts and feelings. Studies of mice have also shown that if they are not exposed to normal bacteria as they develop from birth, they tend to be less anxious. When they were introduced to microbiota taken from humans with high anxiety levels, the mice also became more anxious. Whilst evidence is somewhat convincing that there is a link between the brain and gut, it is not clear if it is the gut influencing the brain and its development, or if the brain is influencing the gut as researchers say research is still in its early stages.

Measles case hits Maine MAINE in the USA has reported its first case of measles in 20 years. The patient was diagnosed with measles after travelling overseas and the Centre for Disease Control, (CDC) has now released exact details of where the patient has been and has urged people to seek tests if they were in the same places at the same times. Measles is caused by a virus and is highly infectious. The skin is covered in a rash and the sufferer will have flu-like symptoms. Citizens in Maine have been encouraged to get vaccinated as it can cause severe health complications including pneumonia and encephalitis. The disease was almost completely wiped out of America in the 1960s according to the CDC following the introduction of widespread vaccination programmes. However, there has been more cases of

Kids get migraines too By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com SOME estimate it as high as 10 per cent of school age children that get migraines. But the tricky thing with kids is that they don’t get migraines the way adults do. Tum m y a c he o r m igraine? O n e o f t h e k e y d iffe rences b e t we e n a d u l t migrain e s a n d k i d s i s th a t kids can get migraines in their stomachs. Often kids will c o m p l a i n o f p a in in their stomach or vomiting and this can be a migraine. With or without head pain. If they do have head pain it tends to affect the entire
head rather than one side or the other like adults and a tta c k s are o ften mu c h shorter. Other symptoms • Car sickness can be associated with migraine • Episodes of dizziness • Vomiting for no reason • Sensitivity to light and noise • Lethargy • Disturbed vision • There is a theory that colic is associated with migraines. What to do The best treatment for a child’s migraine is often rest. Any physical activity can often make the attack mu ch w o rs e . E v en a 1 5minute nap can help to relieve symptoms. Regular exercise and ens u rin g reg u la r, h e a lthy
snacks can help too. If you suspect your child is having migraines regularly keep a headache diary. This will help you see whether there is a pattern or trigger for your child’s migraine. Some children get migraines with almost clock like regularity while others might be triggered by stress or other outside factors.

Common triggers • Sleep - too much or too little . R e gula r be dtime s and getting up times can help

Alcohol intake
SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. HOW much alcohol can a person safely have? The amount can vary depending on the person. Their age, weight and any pre-existing conditions alongside the situation it is consumed in (with or without food) and the timeframe of the activity (whether it’s quickly in a short period of time, or slowly throughout the day). In general, it is recommended not to go over 30 grams of alcohol a day for men and 20 grams for women. The way to calculate it is simple. You multiply the amount of alcohol consumed in millilitres by the percentage of alcohol in the drink and times 0.8 and finally divide by 100. This way you can tell how much alcohol you are consuming per drink. What are the short term risks of drinking too much alcohol? Drinking too much alcohol can cause neuropsychiatric disorders which can alter mood and behaviour, cause blackouts and in serious cases lead to comas. It can also seriously affect a person’s kidneys and liver. What are the long term risks? In the long term alcohol can affect almost any part of the body. The organ most usually affected by alcohol is the liver, causing cirrhosis.
However the heart, brain, kidneys and nerves can all be severely damaged by the abuse of alcohol and cease to function correctly. How can you tell you are drinking too much alcohol? Although this will vary from person to person, it can be potentially dangerous to exceed 30 grams of alcohol in men and 20 in women. However if you find yourself needing a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or get rid of a hangover, have been criticised by other people for your drinking or feel guilty or bad about your drinking; you may want to consider cutting down on alcoholic drinks. Is binge drinking more dangerous than drinking regularly? The high consumption of alcohol in a short space of time is, as mentioned previously, quite dangerous and potentially life-threatening. However, drinking responsibly without exceeding the limits mentioned above does not necessarily entail high risks. On the contrary, moderate, or even daily consumption of for example half a litre of beer or two glasses of red wine can be beneficial. Drinking high percentage spirits or beverages sporadically is also not considered dangerous.

THE Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), a British govern m e n t o rg a n i satio n has updated guidance for healthcare professionals regarding metal on metal hip replacements. It wa s k n o wn t h a t th is particular type of replacement whilst very efficient, could cause long-terms soft-
tissue reactions and these new guidelines encourage regular monitoring including x-rays and blood tests of patients who have undergone this type of replacement. Dr N e il M cG u ire MHRA’s Clinical Director of Medical Devices said: “We h av e u p d a te d the current advice to ensure pa-

Are there cancercausing toxins in sunscreen? SUNSCREEN: Are we doing more harm than good?
PROTECT, protect, protect. It’s drilled into us, particularly at this time of year, but are we doing more harm than good in protecting our skin from the sun with sunscreen? Researchers say they believe that a compound called avobenzone, common in sunscreen as it blocks the UV rays and helps prevents skin damage, could form cancercausing toxins when it is exposed to a mixture of sun and chlorinated water in swimming pools. Experts from the Lomonosov Moscow State University said that based on their experiments they concluded that a generally safe compound transforms in the water
and forms more dangerous products with acetyl benzenes and phenols, being quite toxic.
Continued studies are welcome as to the chemicals we put on our skin. Health experts have urged people not to have a knee jerk reaction and stop using sunscreen altogether, but welcome continued studies on the chemicals we put on our skin.

A VERY unusual exhibition has been opened at the Fernando Centeno Museum of Contemporary Art in Genalguacil featuring work by Malaga based artist Pepe Rodríguez. Entitled Damien Hitler, Meine kunst (My art) it looks to draw a comparison between the concepts of modern artist Damien Hirst and Adolf Hitler with the artist incorporating nods to each person in different paintings, sculptures and installations. The artists compares coincidences between the two characters and also visits the world of cartoons, reinventing both Mickey Mouse and the Pink Panther who is now known as the Spin Panther, a full size representation of which has been erected in one of the streets in the town at a height of two metres.

Dine alone or in secret? M
ANY years ago I was a secret diner. It’s a fad that started in the States - where else - and made its way to the UK. Based on the same principles as mystery shoppers, appointed representatives are given certain places to visit. They then report back to the operators with a complete breakdown of everything that happened during their visit. From the welcome received to the quality of the bread and the flavour of the coffee at the end, all have to be meticulously recorded and sent off. In return, the company reimburses the cost to the inspector together with his fee. Some restaurant chains, including McDonald’s, handle their own in-house diners, who travel the group’s eateries. Other companies and individual operators em-
GOOD FOOD, GOOD WINE AND GOOD FRIENDS WITH
GARRY WAITE ploy the services of a company. HGEM in the UK has hundreds of clients and online ‘secretshopping.org’ handles its fair share too. Although I have been asked by colleagues to do a similar thing as a favour on the coast, there is a distinct lack of companies in Spain doing the job. There is SMG, an American backed company and mysteryshopperspain. com both of which operate further north of Andalucia. With industry competition so
intense in Marbella I would have thought a company offering such services would be inundated. For many years I have used the tried and tested ‘comments form’ which asks client to fill in a questionnaire, and in return their names go into a draw for a dinner for two or some such reward. While these are good to compile information - including contact details - it is often an imposition to the client. I have used secret diners in my places, especially when I know that I will not be there, but it has to be someone you trust and with sufficient knowledge. If there are operators out there who feel that they should consider this service there is an interesting article on tabletalktv.com./secret diners. Or, for further information, contact me.
The Great British Menu judges (from left): Oliver, Andi and Mathew.
Game, set menu and match THE Great British menu concluded with a banquet at Wimbledon shown on BBC Two. The fierce competition, tempered by great camaraderie, terminated with four chefs creating the four-course lunch at which I would have liked to have been seated. The chefs were Pip Lacey (starters), a graphic designer turned chef, who runs the kitchens of Angela Hartnett’s Michelin star Murano in London; Tommy Banks, (fish course), Michael Bremner (meat course) and Selin Kiazim (dessert). All dishes were expertly executed and served to a very appreciative gathering of ex-champions, groundsmen, executives and Lawn Tennis Association members. Now here’s the thing! The whole competition was overseen
by three judges. Oliver Peyton, an Irish restaurateur, has been a judge for years and similarly the distinguished food writer Mathew Fort. Having been earning some of my living over the years as a food critic, writer and restaurateur, I can understand why these two are judges but, along with many others, according to some Press reviews, I am mystified by Andi Oliver as a judge. A singer and local radio presenter, her passion for food does not match her co-judge’s comprehensive knowledge and experience. Even so she did bring good value to the programme with her huge personality and laugh.
MY APOLOGIES to George Bernard Shaw, a literary master, who penned ‘the use of exclamation marks in writing is akin to laughing at your own jokes.’ I must be a barrel of self-indulgent giggles!!!

I say everything is about company. A gourmet meal with an A*hole is a horrible meal. A hot dog with an interesting person is an amazing meal.” Chris Rock, Actor/Comedian
The top dog ONE of my first ‘gastronomic’ memories was as a kid leaving the cinema with my parents and being treated to a ‘Hot Dog’ from the van outside. Original ‘Street Food’? This Frankfurter sausage, covered with onions, loads of German mustard and tomato sauce was the finishing touch to a great night at the movies! I am sure on a blind tasting I would be able to tell it immediately. My taste buds have certainly changed as I haven’t had one for many years and not sure that I would want one now - but that doesn’t mean that they are not still being served. Just like the fashionable ‘Gourmet B u rg e r ’ t h e r e a r e restaurants extolling the virtues of hot dogs. One such place is the EXTRA ALERT: Just wonderfully named, missing the tomato Dogs ’N’ Dough, in sauce! Manchester. After receiving a bad review on TripAdvisor claiming that their ‘hot dog was small and gone in four bites,’ owner James Black has set up a competition: The Four Bite Challenge. Sixty guests are being invited to eat a ‘dog’ consisting of a 100g sausage and 80g brioche bun in four bites and in one minute. Those that rise to the challenge will win a meal for two... presumably on another day! This trendy eatery also serves other interesting ‘dogs’ including the New Yorker (pastrami, horseradish mayo Swiss and jalapenos) and Enter the Dragon (salt and pepper chicken, char sui crackers, spring onion and sriracha - a spicy mayonnaise); pizzas which include the classics plus the Pig Lebowski (pulled pork, crispy bacon, smoked ham and yellow mustard)and Caribbean Dream (rum glazed chicken, pineapple and peppers). I’m going to contact Mr Black to find out how many people took up his challenge and more importantly how many managed to eat it in four bites and one minute!

Get ready for two months of Sundays Marbella Moments by Nicole King DURING the first weekend of July some 200,000 cars arrived to our Andalucian highways. Amongst these happy holidaymakers were undoubtedly more than one ‘Sunday driver’ and many of them were headed here to Marbella. Most of them I’m sure would never even hold a gun let alone point it at someone. However, behind the wheel they are like latent terrorists, capable of maiming and killing friends, family and innocent bystanders at any moment. Unfortunately when it comes to driving they obviously choose to ignore the facts to justify the deed. For many of them just the drive from ‘A to B’ was potentially as dangerous as a child thrashing around a loaded weapon with no idea if the safety clip was on or not, pointing it at anyone that came into their path. Now they’re here and more are coming! We need to be ready for all those drivers not kn o wi n g wh e r e t h ey ’re g o in g ; c a rs about to turn off the main road that suddenly change their minds and pull back in at the last second, cars stopping in the middle of
IT WOULD be better to watch the road. roundabouts, cars driving too fast, tailgating and darting from lane to lane, cars driving with no thought for motorbikes, cyclists or pedestrians, even cars on the wrong side of the road. Many drivers may not even be looking at the road whilst looking at or fum-
bling with whatever. We need to be ready for everything and anything. In Marbella we already have 127 different nationalities driving around our 27kilometre coastline and all that comes with it, but be warned, another estimated 19.5 mil-
lion cars are headed our way during July and August. Unfortunately it’s not just the infrequent driver we need worry about. The ‘good drivers’ also tend to take liberties with our lives. Haven’t you or someone you know ever had a drink, or two, not enough to be drunk perhaps, but enough to worry about being stopped for a breathalyser test? How many know they would fail a test but still feel capable to drive and do so? This was probably the same line of thinking of the two Air Europe pilots who showed up for work just a few hours after having been drinking and fighting in a local bar, ready to sit themselves down behind the wheel of their airplane. People will do many things if they think they can get away with it and not get caught. Just like many people leaving our locals bars, they didn’t think their ability was diminished either; their judgement was still impaired by the drink. We are going to have a bumper summer, tourism is booming, traffic is already intense and it’s very hot. Keeping our cool and wits about us behind the wheel is going to be imperative as there are just so many unknowns out there, more so than ever during the next two months of ‘Sundays.’ www.rtvmarbellanow.com

Monthly gardening tasks - July
AFTER a sweltering June, weather forecasts, unexpectedly, now indicate that we may have at least two weeks of cooler weather and a few timely thunderstorms to replenish garden water tables. But we will still need to be daily vigilant as to the survival state of flowering plants, recently planted shrubs and vegetables and water more frequently and deeply where and when required. The compost heap would also benefit from a soaking preferably after a turn. Apart from the danger of plants drying out there are three other frequently occurring problems to watch out for during July. Insect attacks of fruit trees. As soon as they occur spray trees with neem or garlic solutions. If some ends of branches are heavily infested prune off and burn. Honey fungus attacks of pip and stone fruit trees. Honey fungus appears as drips or lumps of a orangey gluey resin emerging from branches or trunks or covering the clumps of leaves. The easiest ecological natural treatment is a spray or painting of affected areas with propolis solutions or
painting of affected areas with neat propolis. Heavily affected and dying wood is often best cut out and burned. Mildew attacks of fruit vegetables, including courgettes, squash, tomatoes, peppers and aubergines. The easiest treatment is a light dusting of plants with yellow sulphur powder as a preventive treatment or as soon as a problem rears its head. If weeds were cleared before or during June these should cause few problems during July but the rampant growth of climbers will need controlling to prevent other plants from being smothered, pathways from being partially blocked and terraces from becoming partially unusable. Summer salad crops Provided summer salad crops, especially cut and come again leaf and herb crops such as basil, are located in natural shade for the hottest parts of the day or sheltered with a woven plastic shade they can be nursed through July provided they are watered every day and stems showing signs of starting to go to seed are eaten first or used
for omelettes or soups. I have now relocated my salad tub garden to make it look better and provide a surround for a boules court for plastic or metal boules depending on ages and fitness of potential players. Today I was able to prepare a
salad with 30 ingredients from the tubs or nearby raised beds. Ideas of what can be eaten or drunk from a holistic garden are detailed in the Amazon Create book ‘Living well from our garden Mediterranean style.’ Looking ahead to the au-
tumn and even Christmas harvests, brassicas seeds can be sown now to produce plantlets for early autumn planting out. Autumn beans can also be sown now in pots or directly in the soil. Fortunately some cooler weeks are now forecast so do enjoy your garden to the full. www.gardenspain.com

Sweet basil - the king of herbs GRAEME TYRRELL IF you have a Mediterranean garden of any size or even just space for a few pot plants, then you should seriously consider growing a Basil plant (Ocimum basilicum). It is one of the most popular herbal plants in the Mediterranean for a number of reasons. There is a large number of Basil type species and varieties with a range of uses, forms and flavours from all around the world. Its use dates back thousands of years with its earliest reference in Indian literature where the Indian Sacred Basil is recognised as holy plant. The stem is used to make the prayer beads for the reciting of mantras on a mala in a similar way to the rosary. It is widely grown in temples and Indian home gardens for its various benefits. It is not widely used in Indian cuisine but is popular in Thai cooking.
SWEET BASIL: Can be grown in a pot. The most popular species in the Mediterranean however is the Sweet Basil. Spanish, Italian and Greek cooking would not be the same without Sweet Basil. Having a plant allows you to add fresh leaves
to garnish and flavour a wide range of recipes to give them a Mediterranean flavour. The leaves can be dried to bring out more flavours before adding to recipes or used as a herbal tea between meals.
Basil is also used to make essential oils with many benefits and for flavouring vinegar. The Spanish have a tradition of placing the small leaved Basil (Albahaca) on
Plants are readily available in nurseries or supermarkets. window sills to keep away flys and mosquitoes. The leaves can also be used to make a natural insect repellant just by using leaves prepared with water and alcohol. Placing leaves in the bath will make it more refreshing and may relieve mental fatigue. A few leaves can also be placed in a glass of wine and left to steep for a while to add more flavour to the wine. Basil has been used in herbal and ayervedic medicine for a wide range of benefits. Just having a plant in the garden, on the balcony or window sill adds aroma to the environment that is refreshing and wholesome. In the garden they can used as border plants
that will make a stroll through the garden more worthwhile. It is easy to grow but is generally an annual unless in tropical like conditions with year round warmth. It grows quickly from spring to autumn in the Mediterranean. It can be grown from seed in a well drained rich soil in a position with plenty of sunlight to partial shade. Plants are readily available in plant nurseries or even some supermarkets. A range of interestingly different varieties are available from seed suppliers. Basil will need the soil to be kept moist but not waterlogged to do best. The name Basil is derived from Greek origin meaning Royal or Kingly plant. It is sometimes known as SaintJoseph’s-wort. Wort meaning a plant that has been recognised as food or medicinally beneficial. There is little doubt that it is the King of Herbs.
VERTICAL GARDENS: Old wooden pallets or a ladder against a wall can be used.
Wall garden ideas VERTICAL gardens are a very useful resource for those who would like to grow plants (or herbs, or vegetables) on their balconies or terraces while using as little space as possible. There are various options to house your vertical garden, from expensive readyma de fra me s a nd pla nter s t o cheap or even free recycled ones you can make yourself. Old wooden pallets can be fixed to the wall and plant pots incorporated, or for even less hassle screw old guttering to the
wall and plant directly into it. All sorts of bits of wood can be attached to the wall and various types of hooks used to hang plant pots from them. For those who would rather not have their vertical garden right up against the wall, an old ladder is another good option. Either lean a ladder against a wall and place plant pots on the steps, or for a novel approach place an old step ladder in the middle of a terrace and hang plants from either side to create a pyramid of greenery.

Little pigs need a sitter JUST this week I received a phone call from a lovely lady called Norma, who lives on the Costa del Sol. Norma said that she and her daughter had been listening to David the Dogman’s Saturday show on TRE for years, and that’s how she heard about HouseSitMatch the house-sitters and pet-sitters network online. We had a wonderful chat about holidays, the latest news in Blighty and how we might find housesitters for her two pigs and a dog. I
said we’d do our best to help her. While we wrestled with the telecom lines on the Spanish side, Norma said she was determined for me to get her registered and that we should find her suitable house-sitters who can care for her animals and home, keeping everything safe and secure while she is away on holiday with her daughter this summer. I said I will do my best to make sure all goes well and we find someone she likes.
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! PET PIG: We do our best to help.
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.
Never send your dog away to be trained, do it yourself
David THE Dogman Listen to David on TRE every Saturday 10am to 11am Costa del Sol (Gibraltar/Sotogrande) 98.7fm (San Roque to Calahonda) 91.9fm (Calahonda to Motril) 88.9, Costa Calida 92.7fm Costa Blanca (Torrevieja to Elche) 105.1fm (Elche to Calpe) 88.2fm, (Calpe to Gandia & Ibiza) 104.6fm, (Denia to Valencia) 95.3fm Mallorca 103.9fm
DOGS want to be trained and there is so much proof that trained dogs are invariably happier than an untrained dog. All trained dogs have happy owners. Great satisfaction can be derived from training a dog. It is not time consuming and most training can be done whilst exercising the dog. If you do not have the time to exercise your dog then you should not keep a dog. Training classes undoubtedly contribute to better training of dogs. One great advantage of classes is that they accustom the puppy or young dog to meeting other dogs and owners get an opportunity to meet people with a common interest and often a common problem. Many people are regarded as experts when they have trained a dog of one breed to a very high standard. Faced with a difficult dog they would not
DOG TRAINING: Methods vary just as much as dogs and their owners do. know where to start. Training methods vary just as much as dogs and their owners do. There are however, many accepted exercises that form a useful basis for most dogs and most owners. Many people do not fully realise their responsibilities and try very hard to comply and end up with a dog that will bite, causes a road accident, etc, why? Few owners understand canine mentality. Owners must not regard dogs as ‘almost human’ this is an insult to our canine friend. Dog has become man’s best friend, not because he is ‘almost human’ but because he can do so many things that we cannot do. In this day and age we still do not know how dogs do some of these things, such as detecting mines and drugs. Intelligence is not an important factor in a dog’s make up. It is a fact that nearly all problem dogs are very
intelligent and certainly a fact that few dog owners understand canine instincts and their importance in the man/dog relationship. Dogs and indeed all animals learn by association of ideas, animals do not reason at all, they simply
react to what is happening and do not think what has happened or is about to happen. It is believed that they do sometimes work out a problem for themselves. All training should be based on the assumption that the dog does not reason and that he learnt by association of ideas. For training purposes we try to create associations we want and avoid those we do not want, by what is known as correction and reward. Correction does not mean beating the dog or jerking him on a choke chain it means any act, which forces the dog to obey, like pushing him into the sit position. Many dog owners will never know or have any idea of the pleasure they are losing in not having a dog that is trained to be a faithful companion and partner. A dog will accept a human’s a substitute for a canine leader and this willingness to accept a human makes him easier to train than most other animals.

Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155.

Buying a car in Spain is now easier ANYONE who has ever purchased a car in Spain will have noticed that it isn’t as easy as the UK as a great deal of bureaucracy is involved. One company, Insignis Cars based in both Alhaurin el Grande and the UK is ideally placed to make life a lot easier for the British purchaser of a left hand drive car. Not only that, but they believe that they can obtain new cars at significant savings by shipping them in from the UK and registering them in Spain on behalf of the customer.
Insignis also offers a complete repair service as well as selling and fitting new tyres and other parts.
Darren and Julie run the operation in Alhaurin and welcome visitors who want to learn more about the options to obtain new and second-hand cars without all of the hassle and dra-
INSIGNIS CARS: Inside the workshop in Alhaurin el Grande. ma from an experienced and well-respected company with the added bonus of all dealings are in English. In simple terms, VAT in Spain on new cars is 21 per cent whilst in the UK it is 20 per cent but that is just the start of the savings that can be made
as Insignis will advise you if it is possible to reduce the Spanish registration tax by up to 20 per cent and whether a discount on the list price can be offered. Where new cars are concerned, the company has contacts with major
manufacturers in the UK and is happy to obtain a quote for almost any make, model and specification that a client may be looking for. As far as second-hand cars are concerned a wide selection is always available to view at the showroom
and the company knows the pedigree and history of the cars that it sells supplying each with a six month warranty. Not only does Insignis supply new and used cars but it offers a complete repair service as well as selling and fitting new tyres and other parts with the added bonus that customers are welcome to stop for a cup of coffee and a cream cake in its café. In summary this is a company which can take all of the difficulty out of purchasing a car in Spain, can invariably save customers money and every new car purchased comes with a full manufacturer’s warranty valid in Spain thanks to European Union regulations. To find out more, visit Insignis Cars SL, Poligono Industrial La Rosa, Calle Rio Fahala29120, Alhaurin el Grande, Malaga, speak to Darren or Julie on 952 596 716 or request a quotation for the importation of a new car and view second hand models on www.insigniscars.es.

SEAT Leon Xcellence Technology THE SEAT Leon is a smart, sporty hatchback based on the architecture of its stablemate the VW Golf, and that is a very good starting point. The Golf is noted for its poised and agile chassis and sets class standards for buildintegrity. SEAT takes those credentials and adds some stylish Spanish flair with a distinctly sporting edge. The Leon range includes a racy SC coupe and a practical
SEAT LEON: A smart, sporty hatchback.
Model tested was UK specification and equipment levels and prices may vary in other markets. estate but the big-seller is the five-door hatch, which starts at €19,759 (£17,455). There is a wide choice of engines - 1.0 to 1.8 litre petrol units and 1.6
and 2.0 litre diesels. My test model was a 2.0 litre 148 hp diesel in upper range Xcellence Technology trim and priced at €26,975 (£23,830).
Standard kit is extensive and highlights include auto lights and wipers, keyless entry, alloy wheels, 8-inch touchscreen with sat-nav, DAB radio/CD, and connectivity features, climate and cruise control, rear parking sensors and useful smartphone charger pad. The Leon was revamped last year and has a subtle new look, but its major plus-point is its superb driving dynamics. It is quick, responsive, nimble, composed and has outstanding handling - an overall package very hard to beat in the sector. The 2.0 litre diesel in the test model delivered its power smoothly and eagerly, and the six-speed gearshift was slick and precise, underlined by a 0100 kph time of just 8.4 seconds and top speed of 215 kph (134 mph). However, fuel economy is still exceptionally good - 25.6 kpl (72.4 mpg). The Leon has a sleek exterior which does pull some admiring glances and the revised cabin, which at a glance appears unexceptional, proves to be well thought out, with all the controls easy to find and use. The driving position is about as good as you can get, lots of seat and steering adjustment and excellent all-round visibility. Cabin space is very good, with generous room for four adults, wide rear doors for easy access and a big boot - 380 litres expandable to 1,210 litres with the rear seats folded. And - rare in this sector - they do fold flat which aids loading, especially for larger items. SEAT’s reputation for producing value for money models with a sporty persona is well-established and this latest Leon dutifully upholds that with its engaging driving feel and charismatic presence.
