Lucia: The big question Was a three-year-old killed by a train, or is there something more sinister about her death? This is the question a number of people in the Alora and Pizarra areas of Andalucia half an hour’s drive inland from Malaga City - are asking. Police have ruled that Lucia Vivar whose body was found alongside a railway line after wandering off alone while playing with her cousins near Pizarra station died from a single blow to the head “compatible with the hypothesis that she was hit by a train.” They are treating her death as accidental until the full post mortem results are published.

cia’s body was found. “There is a bridge that is scary even for me to cross,” said one woman who regularly uses the Alora train, referring to a river crossing 400 metres from Pizarra station. “The girl could have started walking alone, as was shown
on the cameras, but I cannot believe she would not have stopped before she reached that point. The woman, who helped in the initial search for Lucia, added: “Do you really believe this was an accident? I tripped two or three times on the stones during the search because at night you can’t see anything. “Although she started walking towards Alora, someone could have taken her before those looking for her arrived.” Police, however, insist Lucia could have wandered four kilometres before falling asleep, and was hit by a train before her body was found by a train driver.

Fruit and veg boost for shoppers
Weigh hey! By Matt Ford MORE than 5 million Spanish and expatriate households who shop at the Mercadona supermarket chain will no longer have to weigh their fruit, vegetables and bread themselves. The announcement comes as the Valencian brand follows up on an earlier promise to remodel its stores with a €1.8 billion cash injection, including a new flagship store on Calle Picos Alcazaba in Malaga City. A company statement said that the boost will help achieve its aim of “providing a better service to ease customers’ shopping by expanding the size of the fruit and vegatable sections, adding electronic scales to tills, and introducing two new kinds

The first phase will focus on the 25-year-old pipeline running between La Concepcion and Torremolinos reservoirs, which supplies water to all the municipalities in-between.
Construction will then begin on connecting the Rojas reservoir, located in Malaga capital, to the La Viñuela and Guadalhorce lakes. Adolfo Moreno, environmental delegate from the Junta de Andalucia, explained that the project will connect Estepona and Casares to the Campo de Gibraltar, with the €30 million financed by the European Union. “There will be possibilities to divert surplus water from La Concepcion to those in Guadalhorce or La Viñuela,” he announced.

After several reports from Local Police, investigators found animals on a plot in the Los Pastores neighbourhood without water, food or sanitation. The dogs lived in metal shacks, bound by heavy chains. Police were unable to trace the origin of the 13 dogs on the premises as only one was micro-chipped. All of the animals have been transferred to El Refugio services, except for one of the cubs, who was transferred to the Las Flores clinic for a full assessment.

Summer holidays, a blessing and curse THERE is something of a Catch 22 situation with regards to summer holidays with as many downsides as upsides. Britons travelling to Spain are an important benefit to the economy but as so many have to travel during school holidays, those with families have to be prepared to pay significantly more for the tickets and accommodation. Those without children, have to decide whether it is worth paying the extra to enjoy the best weather and also to weigh up if the increased number of fellow tourists, many of them either out to party or with increasingly boisterous children is something that can be ignored. Roads, restaurants and all forms of entertainment are busier than ever and even a simple visit to the supermarket can become an exercise in patience as the crowds of shoppers become bigger and bigger. Now the European Union has (hopefully unwittingly) added fuel to the flames by implementing new, relatively stringent checks on the passports of those who are not part of the Schengen area which effectively isolates British and Irish travellers. Despite the fact that Spain already required those travelling from the UK to register their passport details when booking flights, it is now following the rules by scanning passports on arrival which has led to exceptional queues and frayed tempers.

Fontalba stressed THAT between 2010 and 2014 the majority of complaints were lodged by families. In recent years, officers cracked down on the opening hours of Chiringuitos (beach bars) which has led to a dramatic fall in the number of complaints. “In previous legislation, the chiringuitos were able to close at five in the morning, and at six on festivals,” he explained. “Since the beginning of this legislature, we have highlighted the importance of abiding by new opening hours, which has led to a decrease of neighbourhood complaints,” he added.

Cave raiders THOUSANDS of years of precious geological information has been destroyed by vandals. When underground exploration group, GES, entered Cave Hedionda 1 to undertake a study, they were horrified to find smashed stalectites and graffiti on the walls. The vandals had descended using electrical cord and had sprayed the names in graffiti of their local gangs. Jorge Luis Romo, project co-
ordinator of the GES, said: “The damage caused is enormous, because they have not respected any area of the cave and despite all the days of awareness and dissemination that we made with the City of Casares, there are still vandals that do not respect the slightest recess of our natural environment”. The damage has been denounced to the Guardia Civil and access is now restricted. GES intend to send a letter to
the territorial delegation of the Ministry of Culture of the Andalusian Government demanding more adequate protection measures. Following the closure of the cavity, attempts will be made to restore the cave to its original state. The GES also denounced vendors in the Sabinillas flea market who they believed were selling precious rocks and minerals, possibly from Hedionda.

Water rates set for 20 year rise

Going up WATER rates could increase to offset the €130 million of planned investments.
The Municipal Water Company of Malaga (Emasa) has put forward the idea of a
gradual increase of consumption rates in order to fund a number of investments. The plan would be to raise the rates over a period of 20 years as the multimillion sum is spread across a number of different areas which need addressing. At €52 million the supply network could see a set of projects to renew the city’s pipelines, replacing old pipes and doubling paths to avoid flooding during storms. Seventy-two million euros would be spent on improving sanitation by carrying out works on pumping stations to avoid discharges in the sea. A further €6 million would see greater use of recycled water for irrigation from urban sewage treatment plants. Manager of Emasa, Juan Jose Denis has emphasised the need to invest in these ar-

UK clampdown on fraudulent sickness claims BRITISH AMBASSADOR for Spain, Simon Manley recently wrote to key stakeholders in the Spanish tourism industry informing them of the steps taken by the UK government to tackle fraudulent sickness claims. Ambassador Simon Manley said: “The issue of fraudulent sickness claims rightly caused concern in Spain, and has a serious impact on Spanish hoteliers. The recent measures announced by the British government show how seriously we take this issue, and our determination to clamp down on loop holes and fraudulent claims. Eighteen million British tourists visit Spain each year, and whilst the vast majority of holiday makers will not make false claims, these recent measures will help clamp down on those who do. As our travel advice says, making a false claim could result in legal proceedings in the UK or in Spain.” The Ambassador stressed the seriousness with which the British government and package holiday industry are treating false claims, and set out the steps that have been taken and legal measures put in place to put an end to this unethical and illegal practice.

The letter laid out the recent announcement by the British Ministry of Justice to implement changes to the law that will close the loopholes which have allowed these fraudulent claims to happen. The system of fixed recoverable costs have been extended to cover claims arising abroad, limiting the legal costs that are paid out and making the costs of defending a claim predictable to tour operators. The Civil Justice Council (which is sponsored by the British Ministry of Justice and is responsible for modernising the civil justice system) is reviewing how low value personal injury claims are handled, with the aim of reducing the incentive to bring claims which lack merit. The British government has also asked the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) and other industry representatives to present further data on the volume and costs of claims, which will help inform further action from government and industry to
tackle the issue. The UK package holiday industry, in conjunction with Spanish hoteliers, is also taking a firm stance and tightening up their own internal processes and fraud screening programmes, some of which have already resulted in claims lacking merit being challenged in a court of law and holidaymakers being prosecuted. For example, a UK court recently dismissed a claim by a British family who had been encouraged to submit a claim on a ‘no-win no-fee’ basis by unscrupulous claims management companies alleging that they had fallen ill with gastroenteritis during an all-inclusive holiday to Gran Canaria in 2013. Having ruled the claim implausible due to lack of medical evidence and because no mention of illness had been made either to hotel staff or tour representatives at the time, the judge ordered the couple to pay the tour operator thousands in legal costs. The Ambassador concluded that, although the vast majority of holidaymakers will not make false claims, the British government continues to warn travellers that those submitting false claims could face legal action in the UK or in Spain.

Valls told news outlets he felt the decision to fire him was done “on the basis of emotion” and was “disproportionate” to what he intended to be a joke.

TARGETED: The Malaga Tax Agency. THE National Police have arrested 12 people in Malaga over alleged involvement in public finance fraud led by an official of the Malaga State Tax Agency. The arrests came as part of operation ‘Erario,’ in which the investigators searched seven professional offices, seizing several documents and computers.
The investigation began after a citizen reported that an official of the Malaga Tax Agency has said that the business owner didn’t need to pay for a tax inspection, but instead a fixed monthly amount. It was then discovered that the official was the head of an organised crime group dedicated to reducing
the tax office’s income, and profiting from doing so. His group had forged tax documents, falsified invoices and illegally accessed official databases to commit the offences. The 12 - six men and six women aged from 27 to 57 have been detained over fraud charges until their court hearing.

Public come to police aid AN early morning pursuit saw two youths arrested as police required the help of the public. Malaga police endured alleged death threats and assault whilst apprehending two youths. The incident began when police spotted the pair on a moped in the pedestrianised street of Calle Granada at roughly 4.30am. They were chased down by police and intercepted at Plaza del Carbon. Having found the moped to be without ITV or insurance, police informed the driver that he was to be sanctioned and proceeded to impound the vehicle.
CHASED BY POLICE: Down Calle Granada in Malaga City centre.
The situation then grew heated as the two young men became aggressive and began gesticulating and shouting. Whilst the crane was loading the moped for impoundment, the youths began to back away. When they reached approximately 20 metres distance, they began to hurl abuse at the officers as well as death threats before rapidly fleeing as police moved to apprehend them once again. They split up and a city centre pursuit ensued. The driver was chased down and captured on Calle Nicasio but is alleged to have struck the officer in the shoulder as he was restrained. Pedestrians came to the aid of the police force and managed to halt the passenger on Calle Larios where he was arrested and he is also said to have shown great resistance. The driver 19, was of Moroccan nationality whilst the passenger 18, was a Spanish national.

They might have paid 50c for stamps with a face value of €5 and then supplied those stamps to the portfolios of those investing with them at more than face value. The company then produced a catalogue showing an increase in the value of the stamps, thus justifying their regular reports showing an increase in the value of investor’s holdings.

Getting to know By John Smith IT was more than a year ago that I interviewed Fabian Picardo Chief Minister of Gibraltar for Euro Weekly News in the days before the Brexit result. Mr Picardo kindly agreed to welcome me to his offices again to talk about Brexit and the work that he and his government have been involved in once the shock result was released.
EWN INTERVIEW Gibraltar tends to call its people ‘More British than the British.’
Six years in control When the GLSP and Liberal Alliance was elected in 2011 with huge popular support, the new government was full of enthusiasm and this wish to make the life of Gibraltarians better has continued into their second term. Brexit surprise The only problem of course is the increase in work due to the need to obtain the best possible deal for Gibraltar which wants to remain part of the European Union and certainly doesn’t relish the concept of any form of dual sovereignty between Britain and Spain. Up until the Brexit vote, the elected members of government thought that they worked hard, but in the words of the Chief Minister, “now it’s crazy, I seem to be working in one way or another for 21 hours a day.” He is very proud of what has been achieved so far and all of the manifesto items from the first term of office have been met but now, it is quite different as all of the ministers have to ensure that they keep on top of developments. The two politicians most involved in the Brexit discussions are Fabian Picardo and Deputy Chief Minister Joseph Garcia which means that other members of the cabinet have to take on a number of roles previously undertaken by these two. Keeping an eye on the ball When asked whether his government is becom-
ing reactive rather than proactive, Mr Picardo accepts that sometimes, matters which might have been spotted earlier could be given lower priority, but when something is drawn to his attention, then he takes swift action to resolve the situation. An obvious case in point was the recent TV coverage of young men sprinting across Western beach who then threw bags over the border fence. The next day, he had arranged for Customs officers to be on the beach in plain clothes and they arrested five Spanish cigarette smugglers. Smuggling is an offence which the government is completely opposed to and when this government came to power they were horrified to discover that the only RHIBS (rigid hull inflatable boats) that Customs and Police had, were those confiscated from smugglers. Now however, they have purchased some of the most powerful RHIBS and vessels available and Gibraltar waters are almost clear of smugglers unless they enter by mistake or are fleeing Spanish authorities. Manifesto promises So, whilst there may be some delay, it is a major plank of government policy to ensure that all of the latest manifesto promises are completed during the life of this parliament in addition to the work to be undertaken on Brexit. Much of the work that he and Joseph Garcia are involved with is getting close to the British government in order to ensure that Gibraltar is not ignored or overlooked and he is very pleased with the positive attitude that he has seen from the various ministers and civil servants with whom he has dealt. Mr Picardo suggests that in the year since the Brexit vote, very little has been decided or achieved and asks “do the British people actually know what they want?” Relations with Spain At the moment, Gibraltar is an important employer as far as its Spanish neighbours are concerned but it is interesting to learn that just 8 per cent of all income earned in Gibraltar comes from the 27 member states excluding the UK which is in fact far more important financially than the EU. The local councils of La Linea, Los Barrios and San Roque want to see an open border and

the Chief Minister of Gibraltar
the recently installed Spanish Foreign Minister, the Andalucian Alfonso Dastis will be visiting the area in September to discuss possible futures. When asked whether any arrangements had been made for discussions with Mr Dastis, Mr Picardo issued a public invitation through Euro Weekly News for him to visit Gibraltar to see the place for himself although he doubted that this would happen. Self determination Gibraltar has a tendency to call its people ‘More British than the British’ which has caused criticism from a small number of readers who question this fact and even suggest that it should be returned to Spain. As far as the vast majority of Gibraltarians are concerned, they have absolutely no wish to be associated politically with Spain. Many are still alive who remember the closing of the border at the start of the Civil War and the heartbreak that occurred then.
Even more remember the fact that the border was then closed from 1969 to 1985 in an attempt to ‘bully’ Gibraltar into ceding itself to Spain but again without success. As an ex-colony, Gibraltar is entitled to self-determination and it has repeatedly stated that it wishes to continue to be aligned with the UK and whilst it welcomes friendly relationships with its bigger neighbour, the people will never accept any form of Spanish sovereignty. Disgraceful behaviour According to the Chief Minister, he and the electorate feel that the action of the EU to give Spain any form of veto of negotiations after Brexit is ‘disgraceful.’ This may be a small enclave surrounded by a country which has only relatively recently discovered democracy, but it will do all that it can to protect the interests of its population and also try to help its poorer cousins on the other side of the border.

Expat cancer survivor writes book “I’VE been a professional writer/researcher for 30 years and have lived in Spain for 20,” explains Iain McLean, “So it makes sense that when I was diagnosed with the highest grade prostate cancer in April 2015 and having beaten it by the following April, I would write a book about it.” ‘April to April’ is Iain’s own quest for a cure. It is for all men who suffer from this cancer (or wish to prevent it), and for their families and friends who want to understand what their loved-one is going through. “Although all the information is scattered around the internet, there is not one single book that covers all the bases. This book does.” In this entertaining and informative five-star read, Iain’s main argument, with respect to conventional treatment, is that doctors do not tell a patient all they
need to know about the process that lies ahead. Having talked to a number of medical specialists, Iain explains how to choose the right hospital and specialist. Of central importance are the chapters covering nutrition and 10 alternative therapies that will halt tumour growth and alleviate sidee ff e c t s w h i c h I a i n u s e d alongside his own treatment. I a i n ’s a p p r o a c h i s t h a t
beating cancer is a war and each patient needs all the tools at their disposal, not only to win, but to adapt strategies for each stage in what will be a long campaign. There are also a few more colourful passages about Spain, where Iain’s treatment took place. With 90,000 words of information, anecdotes and hope, ‘April to April Beating Prostate Cancer with Conventional Medicine, Alternative Therapies,
Mind Games and Emotions, Diet, Exercise and Love,’ is available on all Amazon websites for all electronic devices. The first 20 pages are free to read and the book has its own Facebook page. An audio version has been produced and will be online soon. “It is extremely important to get the message and knowledge across to as many people as possible,” says Iain.

DUE to the continued droughts in certain parts of Spain, it has been agreed that grants will be paid to farmers earlier than usual this year. The money will be made available to farmers who have suffered losses by the middle of October rather than the end of December which is the norm. In addition, farmers will not have to dedicate 30 per cent of the grant to environmental improvements but may use it to help defray losses.

TOPPING UP: With biofuel.
Biofuel import may hurt farmers THERE is disquiet in Spain over a forthcoming free trade agreement with a number of South American bio-fuel producing countries. The European Union is close to signing a pact with Mercosur (which incorporates Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay) which will allow biofuels from those countries into the European market according to a statement made by EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström in Madrid. New agreements may allow

Money for such purchases appears to be readily available as it has just extended a €300 million loan and also has significant amounts of cash on hand. Eroski has been repositioning its business significantly over the last 12 months and has sold many of its larger stores to Carrefour allowing the French company to expand, particularly on the Costa del Sol, whilst Eroski is increasingly opening smaller ‘convenience’ stores in busy urban areas.

cheaper yet more environmentally damaging fuels made from palm oil and soybean oil - allegedly more damaging than fossil diesel to be imported into Spain, damaging both the environment and Spanish business. Some experts say that sustainable sugar cane cultivation can provide food and ethanol for fuel without damaging the environment whilst others disagree fearing that the planned trade agreements contradict the spirit of the Renewable Energy Directive.

Popular appeal THOSE investors who lost their money following the sale of Banco Popular to Santander have been told by the EU that they have until August 7 to appeal. The only route available to them said the EU is via the European Court of Justice.
Cleaner water THE EU is helping to fund the building of a desalination plant in Djibouti with most of the €46m cost going to Tedagua in Madrid. This will increase the supply of clean water to 200,000 people.
Going up RESEARCH by Spanish bank BBVA suggests that the economy is on target to grow 3.3 per cent during 2017 which is over original forecasts. This upgrade is in accordance with adjusted government expectation and if correct will please the EU.
Britain and Holland help tax havens A REPORT states that Britain and Holland are the two members of the EU who channel up to €170 billion into tax havens around the world. The Spanish authorities increasingly try to identify tax avoidance schemes and often blame Gibraltar for allowing hidden money to cross the border.

is the amount that Telefonica earned in the second quarter of 2017, despite a downturn in its Spanish market.
Early Sweet smell of success grants SPANISH supermarket Eroski is selling 103 perfume outlets and its online business to German perfume retailer Douglas outlets for an undisclosed sum. This is the company’s second recent purchase in Spain following their takeover of Grupo Bodybell and Douglas is owned by American equity group CVC Capital which invested some €3 billion in the business in 2015. Douglas now owns more than 2,400 perfumeries in 19 countries and has also recently purchased two other chains, this time based in Italy.

This report however - produced by researchers at the University of Amsterdam - suggests that Holland accounts for 23 per cent of corporate investments sent to tax havens whilst Britain handles 14 per cent. Estimates of amounts involved are exceptionally wide and range from €50 billion to €170 billion.
The perfume market continues to be buoyant from the cheaper end, where supermarkets obtain exclusive rights to sell specially branded ‘smells’ often manufactured by wellknown brands to the ‘named brands’ marketed through department stores such as El Corte Ingles and through online sales. Canny shoppers and those with time to spare are however often able to obtain substantial reductions by visiting online discount stores which will ship to other EU member states at minimal delivery cost and charge in euros.
Profits up THANKS in part to discoveries of new gas and oil deposits Repsol has seen a massive jump in profit to €1.05 billion for the first half of 2017. With an overall increase amounting to 65.3 per cent compared to the same time last year, the energy giant has seen a significant increase in sales as well as a reduction in costs. Also assisting profitability was the renewal of production within Libya.

BoE and ECB in the spotlight Ask the expert Peter Loveday Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com
PART-WAY through July the pound tumbled to an eight-month low against the euro, with GBP/EUR sliding from €1.1432 to €1.1123. While the pound has briefly pushed above €1.12 a couple of times in recent weeks, GBP has failed to sustain any momentum. EUR/GBP, on the other hand, has been moving between £0.8830 and £0.8990, while EUR/USD surged all the way to a 2 ½ year high of $1.1767 in the wake of the last Federal Reserve interest rate decision. What’s been happening? Sliding UK inflation led many to bet that the Bank of England (BoE) will keep interest rates on hold for the foreseeable future, and those expectations have left the pound pressured over the last couple of weeks. Other UK data has also failed to offer GBP any encouragement, with the UK economy
GBP/EUR: Suffering from eight-month lows. growing by just 0.3 per cent in the second quarter and retail spending slumping. Rumours of infighting in the Tory government and conflicting commentary on the subject of a transitory deal for the UK once it Brexits are another reason the pound has so far been unable to move away from its recent eight-month low against the euro. The euro, meanwhile, was bolstered by the European Central Bank’s (ECB) intention to discuss winding down quantitative easing in
the autumn. EUR gains were also the result of the US dollar tumbling in the face of falling Federal Reserve interest rate hike bets. The Fed adopted a cautious stance on the subject of domestic inflation at July’s gathering, an attitude which left the odds of a third rate adjustment taking place in 2017 in doubt. Additionally, questions about President Donald Trump’s ability to successfully introduce his planned spending and tax adjustments have fur-
ther limited USD exchange rates, helping the euro strengthen in the process. What do you need to look out for? Over the next couple of weeks developments in Brexit negotiations will remain a driver of the GBP/EUR exchange rate. Indications that negotiations are progressing well would be poundsupportive, while further signs of discord could send GBP/EUR to new lows. This week the biggest cause of pound movement is likely to be the Bank of England’s (BoE) interest rate announcement. If the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is more split than previously on the subject of when interest rates should rise it could give the pound a serious shot in the arm. However, if the number of members of the MPC voting for an immediate interest rate adjustment has fallen in light of the decline in UK inflation, GBP exchange rates are liable to slide.

BARCELONA TAKES TO THE STREETS THERE has been an ongoing battle between the Barcelona Council and internet giants such as Airbnb and Home Away with fines of €630,000 raised already. There are stringent rules in Spain requiring that short term rental property including bed and breakfast has to be registered with local councils and properties need to meet certain standards with owners paying tax on the income. According to the Barcelona Council, Airbnb in particular allows unlicensed property to be offered on its site and this has caused a massive upsurge in illegal holiday rentals, taking long term property off the market. The council estimates that nearly 50 per cent of Barcelona’s holiday properties are being rented out illegally and it has fined Airbnb in particular on more than one occasion, with the threat of more fines to come if the company doesn’t remove another 1,000 properties from its site. Indeed it was only a few weeks ago that a person in Barcelona dis-

covered that the property she was renting out on a long term basis had been ‘hi-jacked’ by the tenant who had changed the locks and was offering the flat for short term high cost rental. The only way that she could regain possession of her property was to rent it through Airbnb for the night and change the locks again! This lack of affordable property and the massive rise in the number of tourists making bookings via the internet has irritated hoteliers and
genuine letting agents as well as those who are paying the correct taxes to the council and national government. So irritated is the council that it has set up a website www.fair tourism.barcelona which gives details of the proper way for tourists to rent properties and also the possibility of reporting unlicensed properties. To add to this, it has placed beds in various popular tourist spots around the city behind imitation computer screens which state ‘Just because this bed is available on the internet doesn’t mean it is legal’ in a number of languages. Tourism is recognised as being an important revenue earner for the city but it could be higher if managed properly and those renting properties actually complied with the law. In response Airbnb has confirmed that it would consider its position but has argued in the past that European laws do not require such sites to monitor for illegal activity but the onus to do this is on the council.
Jobless numbers reduce THE number of unemployed in Spain fell to 3.9 million at the end of June, compared to the previous quarter figure of 4.25 million. Most of these jobs are seasonal and thanks to an e v e r- g r o w i n g n u m b e r o f holiday visitors so many of the positions will be on temporary rather than full time contracts. The good news is that the current unemployment situation shows that 17.2 per cent of potential workers are unemployed, down from a historical peak of 26.9 per cent but this is still almost double the eurozone average. A large number of those without work are young and the government has recently announced new measures to try to persuade employers to assist those youngsters with training and employment.

JAEN TOWN HALL: The most indebted in Spain.
EWN online Join the conversation on our Facebook page
Council debts
Best and worst JAEN in Andalucia has been revealed as the most indebted council in Spain owing more than €435 million, whilst Marbella owes less than €1 million. A review of the finances of municipalities with populations in excess of 100,000 showed that there was a massive difference in the amounts of money owed by councils across the country. To put this into perspective, Jaen owes slightly less than €4,000 per resident whilst the equivalent debt for Marbella is actually less than €1 per person. As both of these examples are
based in Andalucia, it shows the widely differing situation between different municipalities and it may be coincidence, but out of the top five towns or cities with highest debt, three of them are controlled by the Partido Popular. This report was compiled using evidence from various government sources and is up to date to the end of 2016. It would appear from official statements that the national government is not overly concerned with the state of municipal debts and has approved deficit targets up to 2020.
Big Brother is doing its best to help you ALTHOUGH first proposed by the EU in 2012, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which comes into force in May 2018 has caught many by surprise. The purpose of the regulations are to set out a new set of rules in order to allow citizens of the European Union to regain control of their personal data and supposedly make things easier for business to understand its obligations. With the ever increasing importance of the digital market place, it is considered imperative that data protection reform is introduced in order to protect the rights of individuals and to ensure that out of date information is not kept on company files. Whenever an individual opens any form of bank account, enrols for social media,
books a flight or even applies for a new job, certain information has to be supplied which will often include age, address and even credit card numbers. Under EU law, personal data can only be gathered legally under strict conditions, for a legitimate purpose. Furthermore, persons or organisations which collect and manage your personal information must protect it from misuse and must respect certain rights of the data owners which are guaranteed by EU law. The problem is however that many businesses have not really come to grips with the procedures needed to be introduced to handle the new protection of data and problems are now envisaged next May.

We shouldn’t be dictated to LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT I TRULY am becoming utterly fed up with all the doom, gloom and negativity surrounding the Brexit negotiations. In fact, I am pretty certain that if the referendum were to be held again the remainers would romp home. Frankly I find the ‘expertise’ of many of our politicians, including Ms May, so filled with non-constructive rhetoric and indecision, I’m seriously concerned there is not some clandestine plot to scupper the negotiations altogether! Where are all the ‘leave’ champions? Why are we not hearing enthusiastic and excited discussions about the wonderful new role and limitless chances of wealth and prosperity the UK could enjoy with new world trade deals and business opportunities? Why are we not sending highly publicised British trade delegations to Australia, the USA, Canada, China,
GLOOMY OUTLOOK: Where have all the leavers gone? Saudi Arabia and the countless other outlets that are soon to become accessible? Why are we not organising trade fairs in all our major cities and inviting the world in to do business with our entrepreneurs and business people? Don’t our esteemed leaders realise how much stronger our negotiating position would be at the Brexit table
if we had a number of juicy deals pending, or already under our belts? At the moment, it’s akin to playing poker with no chips. In fact, to date it seems that the rest of the EU are calling all the shots; arrogantly laying down everything we have to comply with before they ‘allow’ us to break away with any concessions at all. Well to hell with that.
We now have the opportunity to do business on our own terms with the entire world. We need to be conducting these leave negotiations holding a royal flush, not hedging our bets with a pair of deuces. We should be dictating these concessions, not allowing ourselves to be dictated to. They really do need us more than we need them. Stop the dithering.
Stop the bickering and start playing the UK’s hand like winners; not simpering ‘also rans’ looking for a handout for the cab fare home. I dunno; sometimes I really do despair with all of ‘em. Now for something completely different (hurrah!) Couldn’t quite believe my eyes when I saw a couple of reports this week that a man had nearly died from chewing a couple of cherry stones! After checking the month and confirming it was nowhere near April the first, I ventured into Google. Lo and behold, to my horror I found that it is actually true. Not only do two cherry stones contain enough cyanide to kill a human being, but so do apples! Apparently both of these sources are ‘relatively’ safe if they are not chewed, and you would actualy need the pips from at least 18 apples to cause problems, but two cherry pips would do it. Touch disconcerting don’t you think? Mind you Agatha would have loved it! Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

Having fancy footwork and being quick on the uptake is for the birds tellectual potential whereas the fouryear old referred to by the scientists likely has the potential (when grown, with her brain fully wired up) to become a doctor, a scientist... or even a US president. And a final thought: can ravens outsmart their parents? Most four-years-olds have been doing that for half their lives.

Breaking Views Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson
IN a twist on the famous psychological experiment of self-control - would you like one marshmallow now, or could you wait just 15 minutes for two instead? - scientists found ravens outdid chimpanzees and even four-yearolds when challenged to defer gratification and plan ahead. According to the Swedish researchers, ravens chose and held on to tools they’d need to extract chunks of tasty dog food the following day. They also learnt to gather up tokens they could trade for tidbits 15 minutes later. Their most striking accomplishment, though, was selecting a tube-winkling stick over a meal with a view to using the tool to get a bigger and more tasty snack up to two days later. One female raven was so canny she bypassed the experiment by discovering a way to ransack a food container without the use of an implement. But corvids (the family to which they belong) aren’t alone in this. Octopuses can unscrew jars and use coconut shells as portable houses. Monkeys in Bali were recently found to be stealing tourists’ valuables and ‘bartering’ them back to them in exchange for tasty treats. And orangutans? Apparently, they can bear lasting grudges against humans. One called Santino used to plan for attacks on visitors to his enclosure. He’d stash away a heap of rocks, saunter casually around when he saw tourists approaching, and then scarper off to his munitions dump and start hurling the rocks the moment they were turning away for the next enclosure. Right! So, bird brain no longer an insult then? It may

THURSDAY THOUGHTS By Graham Braben, Almeria
Explain that one! IN the early 70’s, the CIA tested Uri Geller, the well-known psychic, to see if he could be co-opted into their organisation. Apparently, the tests were quite successful, but whether he became an agent has never been revealed. Strangely enough, around the same time, Granada Television ran a similar experiment, this time with John Toshack and Kevin Keegan, two Liverpool footballers, who supposedly had a telepathic relationship on the pitch. Unfortunately, neither of them would have been anywhere near becoming CIA agents as the tests were, to be kind, inconclusive. I clearly fail in the psychic ability stakes because I should have been seeing images of big purple dinosaurs. Not because of too much make you see things juice, but because my bit of research revealed that the man who played that rather odd purple dinosaur Barney in the childrens’ programme, claims he is psychic. He said, before he landed the role, he had a premonition, which came to him in a dream, that he would definitely be the next Barney. If I dreamt my next job involved dancing whilst wearing a purple dinosaur suit, I’d wake in a cold sweat, give that audition a miss and head for the hills. However, outdoing Uri, Barney and co is a Korean politician who wins the prize for lack of foresight - despite believing he has psychic powers, an IQ of nearly 500 and the power to levitate. This man confidently claimed he could drive his car using only psychic power. Guess what! He crashed his psychic driven Rolls Royce into the back of another car. Explain that to your insurers!

LA CALA: Prestigious golf resort on the Costa del Sol.
HORIZON GOLF: Show home now available for viewing.
A great golf course gets even greater MORE than 600 homes are to be built on the Costa del Sol in the next 10 years thanks to a new joint project between Taylor Wimpey Spain and Irish hotel chain FBD Hotels and Resorts, managed by La Cala Resort. Both companies have formed an alliance that will involve the investment of approximately €125 million. The La Cala Resort is just 30 minutes from Malaga airport and is a prestigious golf destination with three 18-hole golf courses, an exclusive four-star hotel with 107 rooms and spa and sports facilities, combined with residential housing with panoramic views over the golf, sea and mountains.
The complex brings together the best features demanded by Europeans, not only for golf lovers, but also for those who want to live in an environmentally friendly environment, with roads and gardens in perfect condition, surrounded by a permanent security service and all just 5km from the urban centre and the beaches of Mijas Costa. This new venture sees the expansion of the La Cala Resort with the Horizon Golf development. FBD President and Resorts President David Kelly said: “The continued development of La Cala Resort demonstrates not only a growing demand for properties in the south of Spain, but also the strength and appeal of our
joint venture with trustworthy partner Taylor Wimpey, allows us to take advantage of this renewed interest by building modern and state-ofthe-art housing for buyers looking for a second home in one of Spain's most sought-after regions.” Meanwhile, Taylor Wimpey Spain CEO Javier Ballester said: “In response to the demand from European buyers, we are delighted to present this new project at La Cala Resort, which has become our new residential golf project on the Costa del Sol.” The Horizon Golf project offers two housing formats to choose from. There will be three-bed townhouses of more than 300 square metres,
plus 90 square metres of terraces and solarium areas, as well as garage space. These properties are available costing from €399,000. The second option is spacious two and three bedroom apartments and penthouses, available from €280,000. Fully furnished show homes are already completed and available for viewing any day of the week. The sales office is located in the Resort Club House, with homes due to be completed and delivered in various phases throughout 2018.

It’s just all too confusing Mike Senker
In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man IN the news this week we have been informed, once again, something we had all obediently adhered to for years may not be true. Case 1 is antibiotics. We have always been told to finish the course. Now we are told don’t finish the course. Well, maybe finish the course, we aren’t too sure. Maybe don’t if you think you are feeling better. So it’s now down to me how I feel. As I’m not a doctor I don’t know if I’m better or not do I? Or do I? Too confusing for me. I’ll just finish them to be safe. Case 2 - drinking. I don’t drink any more. I used to drink ... a lot, so I stopped and over the years of over indulging I developed type 2 diabetes. Now this week I read that if I start drinking again it might help my diabetes. But everything I’ve been told by my doctors is different. The point I’m trying to make is that so many things we are told or sold as being correct finish up being bad. Eat eggs, don’t eat eggs. Take statins, don’t take statins. What about the whole pregnancy thing? Babies have been born every minute of every day worldwide for thousands of years. Now there are pages and pages of things you can’t eat or do. How did
the world exist before? Of course, science and research tells us things like smoking are bad for everyone but for years it was cool to do. Which brings me on to driving. First we were all sold petrol cars. Then, after a few years, we were told to dump our petrol cars and get diesel cars and then surprise, surprise we were told diesel is actually killing us all so get rid of them and go back to petrol. And now we have to get rid of them both and go electric. Oh and by the way after 2040 you won’t even be able to buy a non-electric car. Just how are they going to make this work? Isn’t too clear to me because there are very few electric cars that can do over a hundred miles without needing to be recharged. Now, I’m sure over the next 20 odd years they will sort that problem. But what about the 10 extra power stations that will need to be built? How are you going to charge your car at home? I mean, in Spain, if you turn the hairdryer on whilst the dishwasher is on your whole fuse box shuts down! According to a National Grid report, peak demand for electricity could add around 30 gigawatts to the current peak of 61GW - an increase of 50 per cent. What will happen to all the giant oil companies? I’m going to look at this more later but I don’t think they will be able to do it in the time allotted. But I won’t be around so someone else can be grumpy about it then. Email mikesenker@gmail.com.

LEGALLY SPEAKING
Summer warnings 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.
CHECK FIRST: For animals sheltering.
Email scam warning THE N-332 Guardia Civil Traffico team are warning readers of a new email scam that is starting to resurface notifying the victim of a supposed traffic fine. The emails usually say the victim has been caught speeding by the DGT and must pay a fine, as well as losing points from their driving licence. As a way of proving the case, the email informs the recipient there is a photo attached taken by a traffic camera which the person is encouraged to click and open. However this file is malware and infects the users system once clicked. So the Guardia Civil warns anyone if they receive an email notification along these lines, not to open it and delete it immediately. Remember, the DGT, or any other offi-
cial traffic authority in Spain, never issues notifications by email, unless the recipient has expressly requested them to do so, so any random email alleging to be from the DGT is likely to be fake. Sheltered from the sun The second warning this week from the N-332 team is to be aware of animals potentially sheltering from the hot summer sun under parked cars. Occasionally they may find their way into the engine compar t m ent or wheel ar ches so al ways check your vehicle before starting the engine and before driving off. If you do find an animal and are unable to move it, call for assistance. This was the case in Elche this week when Local Police had to rescue a cat which had found its way into the engine compartment.

Marbella Moments by Nicole King I’LL never forget one particular ‘Marbella Moment’ back in the early 60’s when but a very young girl! I was walking along the sea front in Marbella, holding my daddy’s hand when, as if from nowhere, a brown uniformed Spanish policeman appeared and shoved his gun under my dad’s nose and ‘requested’ he button up his shirt. It was equally as shocking for my dad; unaccustomed to the heat and the Spanish customs of the time; it was all very militant and very scary. In the 80’s Spain began to soften and Victor’s beach became infamous for the first topless sunbathing. Now, almost 30 years on, we seem to have come full-circle.
A new legislation is being introduced in Marbella regarding our dress code and although I don’t expect any shotguns to be shoved under anyone’s noses, fines and uncomfortable situations can certainly be expected for anyone walking around unclothed anywhere except at the beach or by a pool. This incentive comes as a direct result of the cries of indignation by our local Spanish community who just cannot suffer the indignity of our ‘low-cost tourism’ as they classify the offenders, parading around in bikinis as if Marbella were one big holiday camp. Until now, regardless of the hoards of tourists or resident foreigners, the local Spanish community has left us very much to our own devices. They know we’re here, some even work in our ‘worlds’ but on the whole, they keep themselves very much to themselves, as do we.

It’s time to cover up or pay up
Shirtless in the city is now unacceptable. Until recently they didn’t even talk about us, let alone to us. We are and have been merely part of the scenery, a means to an end. No longer, now we’re literally the talk of
the Spanish town. As if to add insult to injury, the offence appears to be even greater as the half naked offenders also often stagger around drunk and disorderly at
all times of day and night. The talk isn’t good. Due to ‘popular’ demand therefore new legislations are now in place, which make wearing clothing ‘a necessity’
unless on the beach or by a pool at all times, or pay a fine. If you are jogging along the promenade in the morning without a shirt that won’t be an offence but if you do so at ‘rush’ hour when folk are dressed for dinner for example, this could now be considered a fineable offence. I don’t think that the police really want to start handing out fines to anyone, but our Spanish hosts really do want us to know that enough is enough and that there’s a standard to meet if you want to hang out with the rich kids! Most of us can agree that one important factor that differentiates Marbella from the rest of the world is in fact our ‘class,’ so if wearing clothing is now officially on the list of the citizen conduct code to protect our reputation and appeal, please, no matter how hot it is, keep your clothes ON! Happy holidays! www.rtvmarbellanow.com

Get help on collecting your community’s debt LPL COMMERCIAL SERVICES, part of the LPL Group, has been established since 1978, specialising in commercial and consumer debt collection in the UK, Europe and throughout the world. Their services in Spain, Portugal and Cyprus in particular, focus on the collection of management fee arrears owed by property owners who are not full time residents in Spain and who live in the UK, Europe and other countries. They have been established in Spain for 10 years, working directly with administrations and communities. As specialists in management fees debt collection, they can and do advise administrators and their communities on the best way to present their constitution and the by-laws that protect management fees as well as allowing for the addition of reasonable and acceptable charges. They also advise on the best way to protect the communities from unwelcome legal arguments when issuing legal proceedings against difficult debtors in the UK and elsewhere. LPL are also able to set up pay m e n t p l a n s a n d mo n ito r s u ch p ay ments, in agreement with community decisions and quickly collect thousands of Euros in unpaid community fees, allowing

Their expertise and contacts can also assist with sale of properties and negotiations with banks who are involved with repossessions and sale thereafter.
One of the major problems within Spain has been the reluctance to move quickly to collect overdue accounts because of the fear of increased expense and perhaps difficult interaction between owners and management committees. LPL takes all of the collection burden away from direct involvement unless friendly negotiation has put parties together once again.
They have also been able to allay fears about any ‘Brexit effect’ and have held numerous talks to Spanish associations, communities and businesses in Spain to explain why there should be no detrimental legal effects on current collection operations. All directors and management team of LPL are members of the Chartered Institute of Credit Management and as a business LPL is a member of The Credit Services Association, the only voluntary self regulated organisation representing professional debt collection in the UK and in turn CSA is a member of FENCA, being the organisation that represents all the debt collection trade associations throughout Europe.

Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
PEDRO SANCHEZ is making eyes at the PNV Basque Nationalist party in hopes that its MPs in the national government in the next General Election would help the PSOE form a majority government. It’s not a far-fetched hope as the PSOE and the PNV have supported each other in the past in Madrid and the regional parliament in Vitoria. But Mariano Rajoy was able to put through his 2017 Budget thanks to the votes of PNV MPs, support that came at the price of an annual €1.3 billion that the Basque Region will receive until 2021. But Pedro Sanchez, who still
IN DENIAL: Mariano Rajoy.

Can’t give you anything but love, baby doesn’t have a seat in the national parliament, can only offer promises and good intentions at present. And both come a poor second to hard cash, especially in politics.
Get out of jail free MARIANO RAJOY denied during his court appearance - as a witness it must be stressed all knowledge of illegal Partido Popular funding and the Gurtel graft scandal. While those on both sides of the Gurtel fence were allegedly raking in money for themselves and the party through kickbacks and commissions, he was occupied only with political issues and knew nothing of party finances. Rajoy stated that on taking over as party leader in 2004, he distanced the PP from Correa “for misusing the party’s name.” Yet he didn’t stop the PP in the Valencian Community from using Correa’s services long afterwards. So explain that one, Mariano.
Turkeys vote for Christmas THE Catalan parliament, at the behest of regional president Carles Puigdemont, approved a law that will allow him to implement - without debate - both the October 1 referendum and secession
should Cataluña vote to leave Spain. There is a word to describe legislation of this kind - and it certainly isn’t ‘democracy.’
No clothes on dry land THE PSOE and Podemos are in a cleft stick over Cataluña. Both parties and their leaders can shelter behind the Spanish Constitution which makes no provision for the kind of referendum that Carles Puigdemont and his hench people are preparing. Podemos in its Catalan version was the most-voted party in the December 2015 and June 2016 General Elections and its supporters are at heart pro-independence. The PSOE in the past counted on Cataluña
for many of its seats in the national parliament in Madrid, but no longer. Too many PSOE voters are pro-referendum if not pro-secession. So you get Pedro Sanchez trying to win back PSOE votes with plurinacionalismo which is too little for Cataluña and too much for everyone else. Pablo Iglesias as usual minces his words while sounding hard-hitting by defining the independence referendum as “legitimate mobilisation” while adding that it can’t be binding. Both men are resorting to the Spanish practice of trying to swim while keeping their clothes safe at the same time. Put another way, they want to please everyone which as usual results in no-one being happy and no clothes on dry land.
The Catalan One-step POLITICIANS in Cataluña are increasingly ‘stepping aside’ as the regional president Carles Puigdemont purges his Cabinet of possible waverers from the straightjacket of secession. One of the latest was the Education department’s second-in-charge and the same department’s Education Policy director. Seems there could soon be a dance called the Catalan One-step although in best Palais de Danse tradition (millennials: your elders will explain) perhaps it should be called the Elimination Waltz.

No muzzle? It’s the pits SIR, Apparently there are no laws in Spain against vicious dog attacks. My husband and I with two visiting friends went to Cantera de los Arenales, Mijas with our two small dogs for a leisurely walk. Suddenly around a corner appeared a pair of vicious American pit bulls without leads or muzzles. As soon as they saw our dogs they went into attack with the Spanish owner shouting ‘pick up your dogs’ but it was too late. One of the dogs grabbed one of ours and was shaking it trying to kill it, I raced forward to try and save him but fell badly on the rocky surface just in front of the dog. This was enough thankfully to startle the pit bull and it released its bite on my dog. This was a terrifying incident caused by a totally irresponsible owner who had no control over his dogs and who lets killer dogs run freely and without muzzles where many people walk with their children and dogs. I managed to take photos of
HAVE YOUR SAY
Be fair to all DEAR Sir, Spain - a nation so dependent on hard earned coffers from tourism - will do well to equally understand the importance of fairness. Recently a report in the EWN revealed increased toll road fees for motorists, with many from abroad presumably totally unaware that they have higher charges than other motorists using the same roads out of the main summer season. This to my thinking is totally unfair and unjustified. And it does not stop there, for in La Cala de Mijas, and I suspect many other places, from July 1 the price of sunbeds has been increased 10 per cent. OK, a parasol and two beds even
the’American Pitt Bulls, the owner’s car and the number plate. We went to the Guardia Civil to denounce the incident only to be told nothing could be done about the dogs or the irresponsible owner, we could only take out a civil case in court before a judge asking for compensation and would involve us in costs as we would need a lawyer. Elizabeth Simner, Mijas
Talking shop SUNBEDS: Why increase the price in summer? since the increase still costs only €10, a snip compared to the €100 plus charged at some more fashionable Marbella beach clubs. But even so, why increase the price

Open letter to UK expats from British Ambassador THANKS for that, Sir. Now we know what you want. Let us know how it pans out. That is, for us, the only thing that matters PM We ‘No one,’ can’t know what is going to happen, the UK’s exit has to be negotiated, decisions will be taken on both the UK and EU sides. The final situation will depend on many things and how each side decides to go forward on discussion! I despair at the number of people who seem unable to grasp nor understand this! Mike in ESP The word ‘hope’ is used three times. I would rather have read ‘we will ensure.’ As I said in here a long time ago, we could have at the outset have said we will ensure EU citizens in the UK maintain their rights after Brexit but this will be enacted at the same time as the EU enacts a reciprocal agreement for UK citizens in the EU. The above may placate some but will not give confidence to many others. John Price
Rowdy hen party kicked off Ryanair flight to Alicante GOOD grief, no! We don’t want those silly cows over here. Send ‘em back to Liverpool! But hopefully they
Comments from EWN online won’t be allowed on any airline for a while as a punishment. What with them and the tourists beating up the film crew in Mallorca and all these fake sickness claims, Brits are getting an even worse name over here than ever.

SHOPS being closed on Sundays is normal, and just because Brits expect everything yesterday it does not mean other countries should follow. Shops here open at around 9am-2pm and again from 5-8pm; these times are five days a week with supermarkets being open longer and if you can’t get your shopping in these times then you need to organise your life better. To say this is good for the tourist is rubbish, as if tourists have nothing better to do on Sundays but go shopping then why are they on holiday? I am tired of people wanting things to change, we all left the UK for different reasons but part of that was a better quality of life and having all shops closed on Sunday is part of that quality life which you can never get in the UK.

Dear Leapy IN the last paragraph of your recent article is sounds as if you don’t understand how the British political system works and you therefore risk misleading your readers. Britain does not have a presidential system and individuals don’t ‘run for office,’ they stand for parliament as part of parties. Nigel Farage doesn’t seem to have a party at the moment let alone one capable of winning a majority in the House of Commons that would enable him to become prime minister. He has never had to take responsibilty for any real world consequences of his proposals, but as prime minister he would be forced into the messy business of actually delivering policy, when he has shown none of the skills necessary for political leadership. It doesn’t surprise me that you misunderstand Jeremy Corbyn if you are not clear how the system works. Nick Inman No address supplied

SEXUAL health and family planning are in the spotlight in a review of legislation according to the Gibraltar Health Authority. The first action will be to allow for over the counter sales of the ‘morning after’ pill and a requirement for doctors to find another if they oppose prescriptions on moral grounds.

THE Gibraltar Port Authority was alerted by the SKS Tanaro anchored offshore that there were a number of people in the water outside the Detached Mole. A rescue plan was put into immediate effect and the local pilot boat which was in the vicinity recovered seven men and brought them ashore where they were checked for injury and then taken into custody by the Royal Gibraltar Police.

In keeping with environmental policy, there will be electrical charging points in anticipation of the phasing out of cars using diesel and petrol. The entire proposal will be put out for consultation but as yet, no information has been given as to how the 400 users of the existing car park will be accommodated when the building works commence.

With your mind sharp and energy high, you want to make fast progress and, indeed, you can. You are only too aware of the time that has been wasted waiting for others. Now, most of that may be dealt with. See how others react when you do not. Leaving others to their own devices works better than nagging. Your lack of interest could worry them.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) When you meet opposition try to use persuasion and logic to win the day. Failing that, you may decide that ‘enough is enough’ and forge ahead, anyway. In this positive mood you find yourself attractive to the opposite sex. That does not mean you have a right to be pushy. Just use your charm. Combining business with pleasure could lead to trouble, so try to keep these two areas separate.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) There is a strong feeling of 'self' this week, and you realise that you have many things to be thankful for. These thoughts come after a period of uncertainty that saw a lack of progress. With this feeling of renewed inner strength, it is now possible to tackle a pet project.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) You know in your heart that you should take control of your future. This is a time to talk with others and consider their thoughts. At the end of the day, however, you are the one who has the final say. Socially, it is sometimes confusing to have more attention than you are used to.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) At times this week you will feel that a certain relationship is not developing along the right lines. Although it seems that your efforts are often in vain, this is a situation that requires thought and patience on your part. It is perhaps a good time to look to your business matters for a change of scene and to set your mind on a more constructive course.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) You should not feel responsible for the failings of others. Although you may think you could have done more in a certain situation, it is unlikely that any significant difference would have resulted. This is a busy time but also one in which a small persistent voice will be heard: the voice of logic and practicality. Listen to it.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) A long-term relationship has its wobbly moments this week, but all is not lost. Listen to your heart as it speaks louder than any other voice. You know what you need but that may conflict with what you feel you should want. In an ideal world, these two areas would be in harmony. Give a little happiness to others and your own heart will be lighter.
SAGITARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Making firm decisions in your love life may prove difficult. Do not be rushed. This is far from a straightforward week and you need to remember how to relax. You are able to deal with what comes your way but it is upsetting to find that someone has been less than honest.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your sense of balance in the universe could be upset, but do not let this sour either your thoughts or your character. You are in the eye of the storm so take this time to think. A bit of care and attention is what you need and you know where to find it.

the sun. Therefore, dermatologists always advise you wear a sun cream with an SPF of 50, the highest protection factor according to European regulations. This does not block the sun totally, so the skin will still gradually tan over time, but it is best to have the highest protection and not to reduce the level of the filter, since the objective of the cream is to avoid sunburn. Cream should be applied as per the product’s instructions and re-applied every few hours and after swimming. Always gradually expose the skin to the sun. Many visitors to Spain make the mistake of thinking they are only on a two-week holiday so want that instant burn and will spend hours in the sun the first day of their holiday, making the skin react even more harshly.

Going to sunbathe this summer? Do it safely AS much as we know we shouldn’t, many of us still want that perfect summer glow. But if you are not faking it from a bottle, is there ever really a safe way to sunbathe and get a tan? Dermatologists say yes, there are ways to still enjoy the summer sun. The Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venerology (AEDV), explains that there are four or five types of skin, from skin phototype one which always burns and never tans, to skin type four or five, for black skin, which has more melanin in the skin. It is this melanin that reacts to the sun and causes the skin to darken or tan as it protects your skin from being damaged even more by the sun. Even for skin which is naturally dark or never burns and always tans, this tan is still a sign that there is some sort of skin damage from
EWN
Exfoliation of the skin is also recommended as removing dead skin cells and making it more hydrated will naturally make it healthier. The AEDV reminds that some exposure time is necessary for the production of vitamin D, but just 15 minutes a day is adequate. For those wanting to enjoy an active and outdoor lifestyle in the summer, it is still recommended not to be out in the heat of the midday sun. You will still get a healthy colour early morning and later on in the day without the risk of dangerous sunburn. Even a healthier tan will still help to prematurely age the skin so try and always avoid sun on the face to help prevent lines and wrinkles.
HEALTHY GLOW: Tan slowly.

The Beauty Expert
Dr Mario Arques Jiménez.
My opinion is aesthetic medicine is of no use WE seem to be caught up in an endless debate about whether it is more important to take care of our physical or mental health. The majority agree that mental health is the priority. Why is that? Disney films, which have such influence on our thinking, carry the message that inner beauty is important. And as a doctor I completely agree with this. Exterior versus Interior Beauty Wanting to look your best to feel good about yourself and feel comfortable in your body is completely different from wanting to flatter your ego to feel superior to those around you. Each person who visits our clinic is unique - genuine and individual. Each has their own inner light. At Arques Clinic, we only help to improve the physical or outer beauty of those already lovely inside.
“Oh, doctor, I really want to get rid of these frown lines - they make me look so ugly.” I disagree. Frown lines do not make you look ugly. Frown lines and expression lines are signs that you have lived your life. They are your laughter lines - the footprints of those moments when you roared with laughter, or when you were surprised. So, what do we do in our Aesthetic Medicine treatments? We provide your body with those elements (principally hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin) that it lacks naturally, as the levels drop over the years. You are beautiful inside. And you will be from the outside. My mission is to help you protect your beauty. Ask for your free diagnosis and feel your natural beauty come alive.

How to protect your throat this summer A SORE throat can be annoying and frustrating but are particularly common in the summer. During the warmer months, many of us neglect the throat which is affected by changes in routine and habits, but the Spe e c h U nit of the H os pita l Quironsalud San José said there are things you can do to help protect it: Avoid cold things. Ice cold drinks for example can irritate the area of the throat responsible for the resonance and the transmission of sound. All these systems in the throat and at the back of the mouth work to produce sounds and speech including the respiratory muscles and respira tory s ys te m w ith its mucous membranes, but the s e de lic a te a re a s c a n easily suffer.

Are we at risk of extinction? ARE humans at risk of extinction? A drop in sperm counts is causing alarm as a study warns an urgent ‘wake up call’ is needed to investigate the drop. A study published by the Human Reproduction Update said sperm counts were rapidly falling and had dropped almost 60 per cent since 1970 in Western countries. Sperm counts are the best measure of male fertility as the lead author of the study called for further investigations to look at lifestyle factors, chemicals and the environment which are believed to be causing the drop, as it could have public health implications showing more and more men are infertile. The study analysed data collected between 1973 and 2011 from men in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and North America.

Hypochondriacs could live longer
Hypochondriacs take better care of their health.
IT is often said that those who worry and stress will put themselves into an early grave, but scientists now claim that those who worry about their health could actually have a lower risk of dying. It is thought that hypochondriacs could be classed as ‘healthy neuroticists’ and whilst worrying, they actually take better care of their health seeking medical advice more often. The personality trait is nor-
mally linked to negative health effects, but researchers from the UK said that their findings suggested that this type of neuroticism can sometimes have a protective effect, as those people were perhaps more vigilant about their health. The findings were concluded after a study using UK Biobank data collected from more than 500,000 people aged from 37 to 73 in the UK. Participants had to complete a personality questionnaire and answered whether they thought their health was excellent, good, fair, or poor. It showed mortality was higher among those with higher levels of neuroticism but when the figures were adjusted for participants’ self-rated health, they found higher neuroticism was linked with a lower risk of death. in people who rated their health as fair or poor.

The A-Z of Knee Pain – Part 1 eration every year.
By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com THE knee is the largest joint in the body. Four bones More than 20 muscles each with a tendon Four major ligaments as well as many little ones and at least three layers of cartilage. Here’s my A to Z of things to think about if you have knee pain Arthroscopy An operation to ‘clean’ inside the knee joint. Results of a 10-year study reports that arthroscopic surgery results are NO better than placebo surgery!! Sadly, despite this monumental finding, thousands have this op-
Bakers Cyst Swelling at the back of the knee can make walking uncomfortable and compromises movement. Chilli Researchers in Nashville say that rubbing a cream containing capsaicin is ‘significantly effective’ for osteoarthritis of the knee as the heat distracts the nerves from the pain. Diet Visceral fat (the fat around the tummy) increases joint inflammation. More weight also puts more load on joints like the knee. Extension Getting the knee straight is of critical importance and is often the first movement to go. This is what causes the limp.
The knee has more than 20 muscles each with a tendon.
A bent knee can then cause hip and back problems as the whole lower body is out of alignment. Feet Your knee is the biggest shock absorber for every step you take, so if there is shock or twist from the feet, the knee is going to take the strain. Correcting the feet can relieve the strain on the knee, reduce pain and prevent the situation getting worse. Glucosamine With chondroitin was recommended to help ‘lubricate’ joints. Recent research
suggests it may not be that effective and movement is more effective (and often free!). Hips Pain from the hips is often referred to the knee and vice versa. Make sure both are checked before starting treatment!

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. Are mosquito bites dangerous? Most insect bites and stings are not serious and will get better within a few hours or days. But occasionally they can become infected, cause a severe allergic reaction or spread serious illnesses such as Lyme disease and malaria. What are the symptoms of mosquito bites? Mosquito bites usually cause a red, swollen lump to develop on the skin. This may be painful and in some cases can be very itchy. The symptoms will normally improve within a few hours or days, although sometimes they can last a little longer. Some people have a mild allergic reaction and a larger area of skin around the bite or sting becomes swollen, red and painful. This should pass within a week. In extreme cases a severe allergic reaction can occur, causing symptoms such as dizziness, difficulties breathing, and a swollen face or mouth. This requires immediate medical treatment. What can you do to treat the bite?
Washing the affected area with soap and water and applying a cold compress, such as a flannel or cloth cooled with cold water, or an ice pack to any swelling for at least 10 minutes helps reduce the swelling and itchiness. Do not scratch the area, as it increases the risk of infection and also avoid traditional home remedies such as bicarbonate of soda as they are unlikely to work. The pain, swelling and itchiness can sometimes last a few days. If the bite is particularly irritating, ask your pharmacist about over-the-counter treatments that can help, such as painkillers, creams for itching and antihistamines. How can you stop getting bitten? There are some simple precautions you can take to reduce the risk of being bitten such as avoiding using products with strong perfumes, as they can attract insects, applying insect repellents that contain 50% DEET, wearing shoes when outdoors and being observant when around flowering plants, stagnant water and in outdoor areas where food is served.

AFTER enjoying considerable success at The Little Geranium in La Cala the talented team of Steven and Michele Saunders is opening a second restaurant. When former Michelin starred celebrity chef was welcoming such guests as Prince Charles and Princess Diana, Pierce Brosnan and Rod Stewart to his restaurant in Cambridge, it was known as the Pink Geranium and the Geranium has travelled with Steven to Spain. This new venture brings a fine dining restaurant to the Golden Mile in Marbella and The Little Geranium Marbella is positioned in a pink building directly opposite the Marbella Club Hotel. Whilst Michele has overseen the decoration of the new venture and will run it on a daily basis, Steven has created the menu and recruited three chefs, two of whom have come from Michelin starred Deanes Restaurant in Belfast. Currently, the restaurant seats 35 people but expects to add an additional room to

Everything in this restaurant from the bread and butter, through all other courses including desserts and ice cream, will be made from fresh ingredients on the premises and whilst many of the current clients from La Cala de Mijas are expected, a whole new clientele from the affluent
Marbella area will also be welcomed. This is top quality food, prepared individually by exceptional chefs and served by waiters Tate and Manuel Angel (who can advise on wine options) but prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality of what is offered. This tastefully decorated, intimate, fine dining experience is going to make its mark in Marbella and with easy parking behind the building, is bound to be full a lot of the time. Steven, who now wears his trademark trilby hat instead of a chef ’s white hat, will be based mainly in La Cala but will keep a very close eye on developments and this Geranium will also follow his concept that every table is a chef’s table.

Unlike any other IF you haven’t yet been to The Roman Oasis restaurant near Manilva you are missing a great night out. Diners can enjoy an al fresco meal under the stars in a beautiful setting, framed by a canopy of twinkling lights and palm trees where you’re immersed in a kaleidoscope of sights and possibly diverted by the antics of a pair of parrots. Paul Hickling is well-known by many on the coast and is a real character and after having a nightclub in Puerto Banus back in the old days, he purchased a tract of land in 1980 and proceeded to build the Roman Oasis which is now in it’s 35th year. His good friend, the late great Keith Floyd, actually did some cookery schools in the restaurant in 2007 and described it admirably saying “It’s one of my favourite places on the glittering, but slightly tarnished, Costa del Sol. It is without doubt the most eccentric and amusing venue on the coast.” He continued: “There is Paul Hickling, proprietor extraordinaire, there are the parrots, and there are the most wonderful staff. The food is simple, plentiful and

For those unsure of what to try, go for the Gladiatehere Buffet which consists of
soups, 25 starters and then a great choice of meats and vegetables from the barbecues. There’s home-made desserts and an amazing choice of 100 ports dating from 1910 plus Stilton cheese.

YSTERS, those mythical oft maligned, love or hate, concha. With their reputation for foodpoisoning outbreaks, sometimes fatal, and their promise of increasing sexual prowess - do oysters really deserve their bad press? I love oysters, technically you don’t chew them you break them on the back of your tongue and suck allowing the freshness of the sea to tickle your tonsils. Some lemon juice, a touch of Tobasco and a little black pepper with half-a-dozen oysters, and a glass of Champagne, is undoubtedly one of the best ways to start a leisurely lunch or an evening’s dining and entertainment. As I reported in last week’s column on food poisoning, Oysters can be a cause well the bug that can be found in shellfish can be, as Heston Blumenthal’s 500 customers found out to their dismay having eaten at his famous Fat Duck restaurant. It’s worth bearing in mind says Tom Pickerell, director of the Shellfish Association, that last year, more people got ill from eating unpasteurised cheese than oysters. “It is just one of these things that the public have concerns about,” he says. “Our regulations are some of the strictest in the world.” Britain produces almost 14,000 tonnes of oysters - Pacific and native o per year. In the past 12 months, there were only four incidents of food poisoning outbreaks related to shellfish, one of which was at the Fat Duck. A fraction of the illness caused by, say, barbecues. Legislation insists that all oysters are screened for E coli and salmonella, and producers also regularly check for norovirus. Oysters are also then purified, where they are held in tanks of seawater that is continuously pumped through an ultraviolet chamber; a process that works very well at destroying bacteria, which are flushed from the mollusc’s gut into the chamber to be killed. The chances, after all of this, of the oyster harbouring noxious contaminants

FOR reprinting the following reply from a restaurateur in York who replied to a customer who complained about paying £2 for a hot water and lemon as a “rip off.”
Love ‘em or hate ‘em only one works! are, according to some experts, very slim indeed. The NHS states on its website that, according to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), there are about 850,000 cases of food poisoning each year in the UK and about 500 deaths from it. However, over the past 12 to 18 months, the only two single-case food poisoning deaths reported in the national press were the death of a forager last autumn from mushroom-poisoning and the alleged oyster incident in London’s Quaglino’s restaurant in May where a diner who passed away shortly after visiting the restaurant had eaten oysters for the first time there. As it happens, both Quaglino’s and its oysters were cleared of any involvement in the woman’s death, a fact not widely reported, which goes to strengthen the argument, that ‘people will always look to blame an oyster.’ I know a Chef, specialising in seafood and is a passionate consumer of oysters. After consuming his usual dozen, he felt very ill and went into anaphylactic shock. He was rushed to hospital where the specialist informed him he had developed an allergy to his favourite seafood and perhaps shellfish in general. This was akin to being told that a passion and desire he had nurtured for years was being taken away from him. Keen to ensure this diagnosis was 100 per cent correct, a short time after, he

picked up half a dozen and with his wife, drove to the local hospital where he sat in the car park and shot back all six. Banking on the theory that if he was going to go into shock again, he wouldn’t have far to go to get help. He sat and waited, but after an hour or so symptom-free, the couple drove home, and he has continued to enjoy oysters almost daily. On a trip to Mont St Michel with a group of like minded foodies one of our crowd developed nausea as we got on the ferry. This turned into full blown food poisoning. Based on the fact that we had all consumed much the same thing, the blame had to fall on an oyster. We plied him with water for a while and after some time, just before reaching Blighty, he came out of it. He went back on the gin and by the time we got into port where a doctor was waiting, he was as right as rain. The doctor reckoned the amount of gin he drank could have helped him recover. The Romans popularised oysters in Britain, with large numbers of shells having been found at Roman sites. Through to Victorian times, oysters occurred naturally in such large numbers that they were seen as a food for the poor. In Charles Dickens’s The Pickwick Papers, Sam Weller remarks: “Oysters and poverty always seem to go together.” How times have changed! I like them andthink they are ‘seductive’ and am sure they can be an aphrodisiac. But in my experience if you eat a dozen oysters - only one of them works!
If successful, the restaurateurs would get the opportunity to trialrun their concept in a pop-up restaurant and have the chance to impress ‘some of the best names in the business.’ Applicants could receive ‘life-changing’ investment.

Bennets Bistro York, Manager, responded to that report: I’m sorry that you feel you were “ripped off” and I will try and explain to you why you weren’t. You entered the café and the waiter showed you to your seat and gave you a menu, waited for a time and then took your order. He entered it into the till, collected a cup, saucer and spoon and then took them into the kitchen. There he selected a knife, chopping board, got a lemon from the fridge, cut off a slice and put it in the cup. Then he returned to the dining room, drew off the necessary hot water and carried the cup to your table. When you were leaving, he printed off your bill, took it to you, processed your credit card payment and cashed off the till. After you left, he cleared away your cup, saucer and spoon, took them to the kitchen, washed and dried them, along with the chopping board and knife and put away the lemon. Then returning to the dining room, he restacked the cup, saucer and spoon, wiped down your table and replaced the menu awaiting the next customer. That’s at least two to three minutes work for the waiter. The costs of overheads for the business ie rent, business rates, electricity costs, bank charges etc works out at £27.50 per hour of trading. I pay my colleagues a decent living wage and after taking into account holiday pay, national insurance and non-productive time prior to opening and after closing the waiter who served you costs me £12.50 an hour. Therefore together the cost is £40 per hour, or 67p per minute, meaning that the cost of providing you with two to three minutes of service was £1.34 - £2.00. Then the government add on VAT at 20 per cent which takes the cost of that cup of fruit infusion to between £1.60 and £2.40 irrespective of whether you had a tea bag costing one and a half pence or slice of lemon costing five pence. I have to pay my suppliers otherwise the facilities won’t be available to other people who use them in the future. I accept that it makes the price of a cuppa in a city centre café look expensive compared to the one you make at home but unfortunately that’s the cruel reality of life. It’s actually the facilities that cost the money, far more so than the ingredients. Perhaps the rudeness you perceived in me was triggered by the disrespect that I perceived in you by your presumption that you could use our facilites and be waited on for free. I can hear Basil Fawlty saying this can’t you? It might be over the top, but he has a point. In fact go to his TripAdvisor site he has similar equally outrageous comments.

Jaded prosperity or money tree
ARE you struggling to hear yourself think? If you had to think about that question then chances are cicadas have made it to a tree near you. The red-eyed critters that many would describe as cute
The Jade plant or Money Tree.
GRAEME TYRRELL MANY plants have myths, legends and other attributes to make them of interest and ensure their popularity. One of the more wellknown plants in all the world largely due to its association with the Chinese art of Feng Shui allocating the plant as a promoter of wealth is the Jade plant, Crassula ovata, also known as the Friendship tree, Lucky plant and Money tree. The Jade plant is a very hardy, long lived and attractive succulent with shiny circular leaves and very fine white to pink star shaped flowers in clusters that form in the right conditions in early spring. It needs minimal maintenance as it rarely needs pruning except as a bonsai, requires watering only when the soil mix is touch dry (rather than a regular watering regime) and can live happily in the same quality soil mix for many years. It is slow growing, so if you obtain one it should be about the size that you want. It can live for 100 years when in the right condition, but may only grow just over a metre in a smaller container and up to four metres in open soil. To obtain new plants the easy way, the less conspicu-
ous branches of a well-established plant can be cut off just above a node. Remove the leaves above the cut to about a third of the cuttings length. Before planting, it’s a good idea to leave the cutting a day or two in a shaded place to allow the wound to heal. Plant the cutting in a good soil mix with the lowest set of leaves just above the soil. This gives a ready-made plant if the soil is kept moist but not wet. In Asia, the Jade plant is often gifted as a symbol of good fortune and it is placed in the eastern zone of the entrance of homes and buildings to attract positive energy to enter for the family or business. This concept has proliferated with the distribution of the plant around the world. The Jade plant has been popular in the Mediterranean and large ones in containers can often be found gracing interior courtyards of historic buildings and well-established gardens. It is considered an old fashioned plant by some as a reaction to its previous popularity, but its attributes have made it a highly suitable plant for interior and shaded exterior (out of summer ’s direct midday sun), Mediterranean gardens, patios, balconies and terraces. This is testified by its pop-
113
ularity in ancient times when water was drawn from wells and ornamental plants were a luxury. Few such hardy, compact, long-lived plants exist that require so little maintenance but will look good all year with the bonus of prolific flowers in spring when supplied with its simple needs. It gives prosperity as it doesn’t cost much to grow from cuttings, maintain with minimal water requirements or to replace every 100 years. To me, it is not something to be jaded by.

Older children and canines 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
TH E s a m e r u l e s c o v e re d last week apply, especially the ones about mutual res pect a n d su p e r v i s io n . Stress that dogs are not living toys, especially when bringin g a p u p p y i nto a family where children already live. Don’t allow children (or anyone else!) to feed dogs from the table; suitable leftovers c a n b e m i x e d in to their meals afterwards. It is particularly important to ‘clear up’ after dogs
in the garden when children become old enough to play there. Keep dogs out of the way when children have friends round or are playing energetic games. It’s fu n fo r ch ild re n to fuss and play with dogs, but teach games where control can be kept, and always sup erv is e. O ld er c h ild re n should help feed, groom and train pets so that they learn about the responsibilities as w ell as th e fu n o f p ets . Make sure children always thoroughly wash their hands afterwards, especially before eating any meals. Children generally love to hold the lead, but don’t a llo w th e m to w a lk y o ur d o g a lo n e . T h e y ma y be able to manage a well-behaved pet, but how would they cope if the dog was attacked by a large stray?
Older childfren should help feed, groom and train pets.
Most dogs need space.
Show children the correct way to befriend other people’s dogs - ask the owner first, then offer a hand for the dog to sniff from below his nose before patting him. Not all dogs are friendly. C hildre n s hould not a pproach strays and must never go with strangers to see ‘the puppies at home’! Visits from other people’s children.
Horrible thought but it’s not fatal CAT owners in Spain may have seen their pet chase, maim or even consume a cockroach or two, but just how good are creepy crawlies for our pets?
Cats have a natural prey instinct and there is often very little that can be done to stop them from hunting. A vet said: “It is normal for a cat to chase down and eat its prey. It is their hunting instincts. They might eat cockroaches and vomit the exoskeleton. It can be gross to see, but it’s alright.” “All in all, you should not be worried about your cat.” If a pet eats a roach which may be poisoned with insecticide, it should be taken to the vet to be on the safe side.
Again the general rules apply, but (however much the y love the m) a dog’s ‘level of tolerance’ will be low e r if the y do not live
with children all the time. Chi l dr en and dogs m ust learn together (from adults) how t o get al ong. I f i t al l
gets too much, they may appreciate some time in their indoor kennel or another room.

CHARITIES ACE CHARITY “El Refugio” in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) www.euroweeklynews.com

For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepe online.net (93321) AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875.

The only way this car (the BMW X5 M) could be more annoying to eco-mentalists is if its engine ran on sliced dolphin.” Some might say...
BMW takes Brexit gamble by Matthew Elliott BMW confirmed that an electric version of its popular
Hatch model will be built at its Oxford plant. The news assuages fears that the German manufacturing giant was
set to shift production to the continent as a consequence of the Brexit vote. The firm itself had warned that the referendum result would force it to reconsider production priorities, but the all-electric Hatch is officially scheduled for British production in 2019.
The decision was welcomed by British union leader Len McCluskey, and presumably by the Oxford plant’s almost 5,000 workers. “Around the world and for generations the Mini means made in Britain,” said McCluskey “with the electric Mini being built in Cowley the tradition continues, but with the added bonus that this is one of the important innovations of tomorrow.” Almost all of the 360,000 Minis produced each year are built in the plant, which has enjoyed investment worth €500 million from BMW since 2011. MINI: Iconic model enters electric future in the UK.
2019 is when the all-electric Hatch is scheduled for official production in Britain.
As such BMW’s decision to build the Mini E there is likely more due to investment and cost considerations than a ‘vote of confidence’ in Britain, as the government was keen to suggest. Fears that exiting the single market will see the import costs of manufacturing materials shoot up, and export tariffs imposed by Europe, will persist until the details of a Brexit deal are made clear. There are roughly 1.7 million cars built in the UK each year, with 80 per cent being exported to the continent.

Elderly regiment THERE are now more than 100,000 British drivers aged 90 or over. The latest figures from the DVLA show there are 100,281 fully licensed drivers in the country. There are 248 centenarian drivers and more than 1.2 million aged over 80. The oldest licence holder in the UK is a 103-year-old woman. There is no maximum age for drivers, but those aged over 70 are obliged to renew their licence every three years and answer medical questions. A substantial portion of the 100,000 nonagenarians will be effectively retired from the roads. There is little data on driving safety among such senior citizens, but generally those aged over 70 are far less likely to be involved in crashes than teenage drivers.

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher
Mazda CX-5 SE-L Nav MAZDA’S new CX-5 builds on a model which was already outstanding in its class and even though the sector now has more rivals, the
Mazda still holds most of the ace cards. The CX-5 is a mid-size SUV priced from €26,476 (£23,695). There are petrol
and diesel engines, though most buyers will opt for the smooth responsive diesels, available in 148 hp and 163 hp form. My test model had the 148 hp unit offering a 0-100 kph time of 9.4 seconds and top speed of 204 kph (127 mph). Fuel economy is 20 kpl (56.5 mpg). This version, with six-speed manual gearbox and in SE-L Nav 2WD form, costs €28,712 (£25,695). The new CX-5 has a dominant exterior look, with narrow headlights, deep grille and wide bonnet giving it real presence - and image is very important in the SUV sector. The cabin impresses too with a smart clear dashboard, quality trim materials, and a wealth of standard equipment which includes dual-zone air-con, auto lights and wipers, front and rear parking sensors, cruise
control, engine stop-start, multi-media touchscreen, Bluetooth, sat-nav, four USB imputs, privacy glass and alloy wheels. The CX-5 is a five seater and tall adults get plenty of leg and headroom in the rear. Seating is very comfortable with the rear seats reclining and the driver gets good allround visibility - the front pillars are slimmer than most and the large rear screen helps too. Boot space is roomy at 506 litres, expandable to 1,620 litres. And the seats drop to form a completely flat floor - no ledges to make loading awkward. Mazda designers have also taken care of oddmentstowage, providing a large glovebox, roomy doorbins and other cubby holes, and of course cup/bottle holders. And with USB ports in the rear, children can plug in their gadgets with trailing wires from the front. So far, a totally positive report, but what it is like to drive? Well, the praise keeps coming! The diesel engine is smooth, quiet and eager, the gearbox precise and the suspension, though a tad firm, is still compliant enough for a comfortable ride. The steering gives plenty of feedback so you feel fully in control and the grip is reassuringly composed even on tight cornering. I tried hard to fault the new CX-5 but failed on any significant issues. Certainly one or two rivals can score points for being slightly greener or maybe a little more fun to drive, but in my view the overall strength and depth of the CX-5 package overwhelms these aspects.

Ron Garrood MIJAS GOLF is one of the most commercial golf resorts on the Costa del Sol, with two walkable courses Los Olivos and Los Lagos. Los Olivos opened in 1984 and was refurbished by Cabell Robinson during the season 2000 - 2001, following Trent Jones’ original design concept. It is most notable for the multitude of trees, with fewer water hazards, this 18-hole course is nevertheless very challenging. The greens are smaller, undulating and well defended by bunkers, and the strategic narrow tree lined fairways and elevated green demand accuracy and skill, and a round of golf for two players inc shared buggy during August is only 110.00€. Los Lagos the longest of the two courses with 6,536 metres was totally refurbished in 2012 and has kept the original design. Los Lagos is a course with soft slopes, wide fairways and few forest trees obstacles, but defended by many bunkers and not less than nine lakes, from which the course gets
