All eyes on water levels The fight to preserve the limited summer water supplies is ongoing. Though supplies are not in the main as low as from 2005 - 2008 when the last official drought was registered, the authorities in various parts of Spain are constantly monitoring the situation to the backdrop of an ongoing rise in summer tourist arrivals. In some resorts record figures are being logged. This automatically daily increases demands on water stocks even though providing a fillip for the national and local economies. In Malaga Province the peak tourist season in August means demand soars as it d o e s in th e Axarquia region where levels of around 54 square hecto me tre s in th e Viñ u e la re s e rvoir which feeds Axarquia and Costa del

SPANISH FACTS OF LIFE...25 Sport is no-longer ring-fenced to back pages, with the 1960s off-the-field antics of soccer wizard George Best credited with initially moving it to the front of newspapers, where now frequently rugby, cricket, snooker and cycling also feature.

Pedal power excitement THIS year’s 21-day Vuelta a España (Tour of Spain) starts in France on Saturday, with the first of the 21stages opening with a short Nimes time trial, and ending in Madrid after a 23-day event that includes nine summit finishes and just two rest days! First held in 1935, the race has taken place annually since 1955 after being halted by the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War during its early years of existence. The 2017 race is the 71st and along with the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia, the Vuelta makes up cycling’s prestigious three Grand Tours. Though the route annually changes, the race format remains the same with at least two time trials, tortuous mountain stages and the finish in the capital. The 1935 race over 3,411 kms included 14 stages with 50 entrants and was inspired by the success of the Tours in France and Italy. Initially held in spring, 12 years ago the race moved to September to avoid direct competition with the Giro d’Italia in May. This year’s race will see more than 200 riders in 20plus teams line up at the start, with the peloton now expanded from a once primarily Spanish participation to include global riders each dreaming of wearing the leader’s red jersey.

THIS year’s Tour de France winner Chris Froome is among the favourites to ride to victory as star of Team Sky. If he is crowned the winner in Madrid on September 10 at the end of the gruelling race Kenyanborn Froome will be the first man to win two grand tours in one season since Spaniard Alberto Conta-

dor bagged the Tour and Giro de Italian in 2008. Cycling - described by many as among the toughest sports in the world - has in recent times shaken off the stigma of years when many of the top riders took drugs as they pedalled to victory.

The La Liga opening fixture kick-off times range from 8.15pm on August 18 to 10pm on August 21.

AUGUST is described in media terms as the ‘Silly Season’ as not a great deal of earth shattering news appears to happen when most of Europe is on holiday. This month however has one major story which could have an effect on the world and this is the ongoing war of words (so far) between North Korea and the USA which has caused some considerable worries across the world. It is difficult to know whether the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is simply trying to bait Donald Trump or if this relatively small dictatorship run by a highly questionable family has actually become the eighth Atomic Power. The threat to fire a missile to within 30 miles of the island of Guam, an American possession and military base in the Pacific is either a very clever mind game or, especially if it happens, the results of a very dangerous and deranged mind. Donald Trump’s response is certainly in accordance with statements he made as long ago as 1999 about the need to keep North Korea in check and may be a very clever response as China and Russia who have always aligned themselves with North Korea are now putting pressure on it to moderate its actions.

Duty-free alcohol cabin ban By Karl Smallman RYANAIR passengers flying from Glasgow Prestwick and Manchester to Alicante and Ibiza are no longer permitted to take duty-free alcohol on

board the aircraft, and those who have purchased duty-free alcohol will be asked to put it into the hold or leave their purchases behind. The low-cost airline has also called on UK airports to in-

troduce measures to prevent excessive alcohol consumption prior to flights, in the wake of increased disruptive behaviour from passengers travelling from British airports. The Civil Aviation Authority reported a 600 per cent increase in disruptive passenger incidents in the UK between 2012 and 2016 with most ‘involving alcohol.’ Ryanair has urged airports to take more responsibility for this safety issue by banning the sale of all alcohol in bars and restaurants before 10am, introducing the mandatory use of boarding cards when purchasing alcoholic drinks in bars and restaurants and limiting the number of drinks per boarding pass to a maximum of two. During flight delays, the number of drinks per boarding pass will be limited to two. Ryanair has already taken a number of measures to prevent disruptive behaviour on its UK flights, and customers

WITH the British Prime Minister Theresa May returning from a three week holiday, the nation’s thoughts return to the matter of Brexit. Two leading Conservative protagonists appear to have finally come to an agreement as Chancellor Philip Hammond and Trade Secretary Liam Fox have declared that Britain will leave the European Union in 2019 as originally intended. They anticipate a transition period however where Britain will be outside of the single market and the customs union but will still expect to have a relationship within the EU which will protect British business.

forced to set up new customs computer systems, build lorry parks and employ additional staff in order to cope with the additional burden of dealing with a separated UK. Those most likely to be affected are Belgium, France, Holland and Ireland and it would be surprising if they were agreeable to a transition period which doesn’t include some form of financial assis-

tance to cover their additional costs. Britain of course also has to set up the same systems and find the money to pay them. The simple fact is that even if all of the members of the UK cabinet with their diverse views can agree to a plan of action to allow for a controlled withdrawal with a medium term transition, it is up to the European Union and the remaining 27 states to decide whether this is acceptable. Also to be remembered is the fact that the assemblies of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales as well as the

Gibraltar government should be consulted to some extent on the way forward and bearing in mind that only Wales voted in favour of withdrawal, the government has to at least give the impression of representing those voters as well. Without agreement on the position of EU nationals in the UK and vice versa, an agreement on the Irish border situation and some form of divorce payment plus recognition of the European Court of Justice during transition, it is highly unlikely that any transition agreement can be reached.

The Benalmadena-based organisation stole from more than 20 houses in Marbella, always acting at night. Their prime targets were empty houses in residential areas. According to sources, the thieves accessed houses and escaped with their loot in stolen vehicles. National Police officers have iden-

tified at least 26 cases of theft in family homes and have recovered numerous items taken during overnight raids, including jewellery, money and handbags. Speculation suggests that members within the organisation had a specific function such as surveying the area for police presence, driving, or gaining access to the houses. Police eventually tracked the group down and found them to be based in the Benalmadena area. As the men were confronted by

police, they attempted to flee in a stolen vehicle that belonged to one of the agents involved in the investigation. Two men of Algerian nationality, aged 22 and 41, were arrested upon suspicion of belonging to a criminal group, breaking and entering, robbery, vehicle theft, breaches of road safety and assaulting a police officer. The investigation remains open whilst attempts are made to apprehend the suspected third member of the group.

Drunk drivers in police mockery TWO men who were taken to a police station in Torremolinos to be questioned regarding excessive alcohol consumption and aggression tried to urinate on police officers and even mimicked playing the flute with the alcohol metre say officials. The incident took place around 2am in the Avenida Sol in the Torremuelle area of the town after police were investigating an accident that had occurred shortly before. As an oncoming vehicle approached with a foreign registration plate, police ordered that the vehicle stop to which the drivers of the vehicle refused and instead tried to alternate the speed of the car to escape the scene, at one point nearly knocking over one of the police officers present. Suspecting excessive alcohol consumption, police officers at the scene subjected the driver to an alcohol level test to which the driver not only refused but

proceeded to use the alcohol metre as a flute in an attempt to undermine police authority. The driver aged 48 years and the passenger and owner of the vehicle aged 53 years, both from the Netherlands, showed obvious signs of inebriation and aggressive behaviour and resisted all attempts at arrest. According to reports, the passenger even attempted to block police from arresting the driver of the vehicle. Following inspection of both the occupants and the vehicle itself, police found a knife and a weighing scale typical of those found in gymnasiums. The two were arrested and transferred to the Local Police station where their aggression levels continued to escalate. It is here where one of the offenders intended to urinate on police officers succeeding only in marking the walls. The offending pair await a court hearing.

MEMBERS of the Seprona section of the Guardia Civil have been involved in a year-long investigation into poaching of sea anemones (ortiguillas) worth tens of thousands of euros. In two separate actions which have seen raids in Cadiz and Malaga, officers have seized 3,325 kilos of sea anemones, 72 kilos of sea urchins,

24 nets, diving equipment and three vehicles. Four wholesalers in Cadiz were discovered to be purchasing rustled sea anemones from four poachers and in order to appear to be trading legitimately, they ‘doctored’ official licences issued by the Junta de Andalucía in Malaga. The illegally caught ortiguillas were supplied

by poachers working in the waters off the coasts of Cadiz, Granada and Malaga provinces. All of those investigated were related and worked together at different sites trying to ensure that their illicit trade was not discovered. As it was impossible to trace the official source of all the seized creatures, the department

brains behind the organisation, as well as the other beneficiaries and members. The search was complicated due to the scope of the organisation which spread across different communities and localities throughout Spain including Barcelona, Madrid, Bilbao,

Malaga and Cadiz. The Civil Guard managed to locate an intermediary agent and police found several leaders who had many dedicated money laundering companies between them. The head of the criminal organisation was discovered to be operating in Malaga City. The leader used a false identity and he proved difficult to trace as he had Eastern European origins and no known house or true corporate headquarters. The Guardia Civil are continuing with their document analysis to find the front men as well as other collaborators.

THIS August, the famous Mad Bear festival has once again taken Torremolinos by storm and latest reports on the event show that it has been a stunning success. The event which takes place in La Nogera area of the town, aims to promote a more open gay culture, embracing those who do not always ‘fit in’ to the typical gay stereotype. The event sees hordes of ‘bears,’ many with abundant facial and bodily hair and larger bellies collaborating in seven days and nights of partying. Between this new subculture of gay male, they have devised various categories including puppies, muscle men and wolves, covering a variety of looks and styles.

PORTS TARGETED: The impounded stolen vehicles. ONGOING OPERATION: French officers will join the National Police.

French officers patrol in Spain AS part of an ongoing operation between European police forces, French officers will join the National Police in patrolling areas of Madrid and Malaga. The officers from the Police Nationale will spend two weeks in Spain during the busiest holiday fortnight offering advice and assistance to French-speaking visitors whilst accompanying counterparts from Spain’s National Police. The collaboration will take place thanks to a project known as European Commissariats, supported by the European Union. The four officers deployed to Spain are Spanish-speaking with two attending the cen-

tral district police station in Madrid and two at the Malaga police station. Their functions will range from uniformed patrols on foot or in vehicles in areas of greater tourist influence, to giving assistance to victims of crime, crime prevention or support in the completion of complaints. It is believed this initiative, which has been running since 2008, not only assists foreign visitors but equally importantly brings members of police forces from different countries together to discuss ways of working. Thirty-one officers from the National Police are also serving in France, Italy and Portugal.

AS part of an international drive to stop exportation of stolen vehicles, officers of t he Nat i onal Pol i ce have targeted the ports of Algeciras, Malaga and Tarifa. Under an i nvest i gat i on whi ch i ncl uded off i cer s from Interpol, officers checked vehi cl es due t o cross by ferry to Africa and discovered nine stolen cars and a single motorcycle, all of which were bound for Ceuta or Tangier. According to reports, as many as 90 per cent of these mainly high end cars destined for Africa are driven onto ferries in Spain al-

though they may have been stolen in almost any European country. This is a highly lucrative business which evades impor t f ees and t he f unds ear ned f r om t he sal e of these illicitly obtained vehicles can be put to work to support other criminal or even terrorist activities. The volume of this illegal trade in stolen vehicles naturally increases during the summer months when many honest and innocent Moroccans i n par t i cul ar t r avel from all across Europe, converging on the nearest ports to their home destinations.

ONCE again the mouth of the Rio Guadiaro was blocked and once again, the mayor of San Roque called for the authorities to take action. Mayor Boix has made it clear that the situation needs to be resolved by Central Government and the Junta de Andalucia as San Roque was already sanctioned for opening the mouth in the past. Indeed it was only three weeks ago that volunteers dug another channel to try to get the water flowing in order to preserve the environment, flora and fauna. With local holidays and the closing days of the Feria, council staff had a huge amount of work to undertake and the blocking of the river again came as a great disappointment to the town, more so because no-one else seemed to want to assist in resolving the problem. As far as the mayor is concerned, this is an urgent matter which involves authorities with more power and greater financial resources than the town of San Roque so they need to actually do something positive.

Tame hen and stag parties

CHANGES: Hen and stag party outfits will be regulated. COUNCILS in the Malaga Province are considering changing regulations in order to deal with ‘wild’ hen and stag parties. Authorities have said the events tend to see revellers unsuitably dressed - often with lewd messages - and are sexist in nature. Loud music, megaphones and drunkenness is also a public nuisance. The PSOE party in Malaga City said they intend to change by-laws in order to give Local Police more powers to deal with raucous behaviour. Marbella’s Social Rights councillor, Victoria Morales, said women are “treated like objects” at these parties and the town hall is considering

different ways of controlling “uncivilised and disruptive” partygoers. Benalmadena and Torremolinos are also considering introducing strict regulations. PSOE’s spokesman, Daniel Perez, said Malaga should adopt similar rules to those already in place in Granada, Madrid, Almeria and Cadiz. “You can’t have a quality fair when there are people wearing unsuitable clothing, using megaphones and behaving in an uncivilised manner,” he said. Elsewhere in Spain there have been difficulties with rowdy holidaymakers, such as a hen party that was kicked off a flight to Alicante for ‘acting like creatures.’

Train station for Torrequebrada BENALMADENA is calling for a new train station to be erected in Torrequebrada as part of the line which runs between Fuengirola to Malaga. Following a proposal made by PSOE in latest council meetings, the 4,000 residents of the area comprising mainly young families, retired couples and non-Spanish citizens, would be better connected to the local areas, which at the amount are arguably far away with Arroyo de la Miel being located 6km from Torrequebrada. The scheme was proposed in 2015 and was put forward to be financed by a central government via the rail department after a petition was signed by over 1,000 residents. This year the proposal has reached unanimity between all local councillors and will therefore be forwarded again as a valid and well supported development project to be carried out in the near future.

CLEAN UP: New measures have been implemented to improve waste management.

Tackling trash ESTEPONA has become next in line to instigate proposals for reinforcement in an attempt to tackle increased volumes of rubbish during summer months. Plans have been approved to boost waste collection given the increase of 60 per cent in rubbish discarded which has been seen in Estepona during the summer tourist season. Mayor of Socio cultural and Public Services, Blas Ruzafa, has explained that with such

high volumes, it has been essential to double the level of reinforcement. This involves more bins being provided, an extra rubbish collection shift in the evening and more cleaning personnel being employed in public walkways, restaurants and beaches. Estepona Town Hall has additionally commissioned new machinery including a larger fleet of high-pressure cleaning vehicles and more power hoses to ensure street sanitation.

Sergio Rodriguez emphasises that the historic centre requires special attention given the need to retain its charm and appeal. He has also outlined the importance of public collaboration in the issue, stipulating that rubbish should be disposed of after 9pm and in sealed bags. He urges locals and tourists alike to make use of special collection points where more specialised waste can be discarded such as white goods, electrical items and chemical products.

Specsavers Opticas campaign to support the deaf and blind SPECSAVERS OPTICAS are supporting the Once Foundation for the Deaf-Blind (La Fundación ONCE para la Atención de Personas con Sordoceguera - FOAPS) between July and December 2017. They are offering free comprehensive eye tests at all eight of their opticians and asking patients to donate €1 to FOAPS after their test until the end of the year. All funds raised will be donated to FOAPS to fund interpreters who are crucial to allow deaf-blind people to lead a full life and communicate. This is part of FOAPS’ 10 year anniversary campaign to raise awareness of the issues that deaf-blind people face and boost funding so they can help more of these vulnerable people who are totally isolated without their help. Specsavers Opticas are committed to supporting charities and protecting sight. They have chosen FOAPS to support because of the huge difficulties that the deaf-blind have with interacting with the world and communicating. “Most visually impaired people are able to rely on their other senses and can still communicate easily with the outside world. Whereas the deaf-blind experience the world through touch and need someone to

connect them with the world,” explains José Ángel Moral-Tajadura from Specsavers Opticas. “The FOAPS interpreters are the eyes, ears and often voice of the deaf-blind and have a crucial role to play. We hope that through our campaign we can raise enough money to fund an extra 400 hours of an interpreter. This costs €6,000 so we need 6,000 people to come in and have their eyes tested and make a donation before the end of the year.” Esther Requena Olea, Director of FOAPS commented, “We are very happy that an international company such as Specsavers has decided to collaborate with our cause. The needs of the Deaf-Blind people are very specific and requires a lot of resources. With the funds raised from this campaign, we can offer more support to them to break the isolation and communication problems with the outside world that is a common problem for the Deaf-Blind.” To participate in the campaign, visit your nearest store for a comprehensive eye test and donate just €1 before the end of December 2017. Specsavers Opticas have eight stores in Spain, on the Costa Blanca, Costa del Sol and in Mallorca. Visit www.spec savers.es to find your nearest store.

End of the golden years? MANY working Brits believe that they will never retire. Leading researchers found that four out of every 10 Brits in employment think they’ll work in some manner right to the end. Global market research firm Mintel suggest that their find-

ings imply that many people now have a negative view of retirement. A substantial percentage have given up on the golden years and are resigned to a more financially fraught retirement than enjoyed by older generations. When polled, 39 per cent of

working men and women said that they never expect to fully retire. The number goes up to 42 per cent among those aged 18-34. Even around one in three people aged 54+ expect to be working in some manner or other in the coming decades. Londoners expect the worst, with almost half at 45 per cent expecting to still be punching the clock during their twilight years. North of the border, people are slightly more optimistic with the figure at 32 per cent among Scots. Of course many other people feel exactly the opposite. One third of working Brits plan to retire the very second they can claim a state pension, with 42 per cent of younger men planning to do so. As relative wages decline people are finding it harder and harder to make savings. Many young families struggling to get on the property ladder lack the job for life and pension plans of the past. They see the state pension age rise higher and higher and now retirement itself is only a pipe dream for millions of people.

A Lasting Power of Attorney in Spain By Antonio Flores Abogado/Lawyer LLM (Essex) Reg. Nº 4712 I.C.A. Málaga E-mail: aflores@lawbird.com Homepage: http://belegal.com/blog-by-antonio-flores

www.lawbird.com

THE Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA), well-known and used extensively in day-today law jurisdictions, are legal documents which allow a person who is at least 21 years of age (‘donor’), to appoint one or more persons (‘donee’) to make decisions and act on his behalf as his proxy decision maker if he should lose mental capacity one day. Many expats don’t know that in Spain, we have two types of legal documents which can substitute the LPA. These bills are known as the ‘Poder Preventivo,’ or ‘Preventive Power of Attorney’ (PPA), and the ‘Autotutela,’ or ‘Appointment of Tutor,’ both of which are granted

before a Notary Public. The Preventive Power of Attorney can allow a third party to deal with the financial affairs of the grantor, with immediate effect after a certain date or once a medical doctor declares a person incapacitated. For its part, the Appointment of Tutor deals with health and care decisions, daily routine or where the incapacitated client should live (but will require judicial approval where the sale of assets is concerned). It is recommendable to grant at the same time, both the Preventive Power of Attorney and the Appointment of Tutor to avoid the lengthy (and more costly) process of applying for a judicial decision - appointment of tutor - following a clinically diagnosed incapacitation or intellectual disability because of disease or accident. This process will furthermore require a separate procedure to sell real estate or other assets. It is worth noting that both powers can be revoked by the individual, providing they are deemed mentally well enough to do so, and that Notary Publics in Spain have an obligation to communicate any such documents to the Spanish Civil Registry.

Abuse claims shame

MALLORCA

MALLORCA

A VET is under criminal investigation after 16 complaints of animal abuse, malpractice and fraud were made against him. Seprona, the Guardia Civil’s animal protection unit, is leading the inquiry. Allegations include sham diagnoses of serious diseases that required expensive testing, and changing his opinion to necessitate more tests. Clients complained to police when no test results were forthcoming. Some paid €500 in a single visit for medicines which they never received. Seprona conducted an inspection of the premises, which is located in Cami de Jesus de Palma, and found a series of serious infractions. Dozens of cat and dog corpses were stored incorrectly in the freezer, posing a severe health hazard. Sanitary conditions were poor, records were improperly kept, and the veterinarian, who is of joint British and Ecuadorian nationality, lacked the proper licence for testing equipment. Seprona are now investigating client claims their animals died or were put at serious risk due to deliberate misdiagnosis and time wasting. The facility has been temporarily closed for a full investigation to take place.

Spain in 2016 and this number is likely to be exceeded in 2017. The problem is that success of this type has seen prices increase whilst the bumper number of tourists in certain places like Barcelona and Mallorca has prompted local residents to complain about overcrowding, increased prices and unacceptable behaviour. Countries which have weaker economies than Spain are now able to take advantage of the financial disparity in order to steal tourists away.

Stock markets fall THE war of words between North Korea and the USA has not just affected the US stock market, but fears of confrontation have hurt Spanish stocks as well.

MANAGERS HAVE DIFFICULTY SETTLING ON HOLIDAY

They keep contacting the office MORE than one third of office workers in Spain find it difficult to “switch off” from work whilst they are on holiday. Perhaps aware that jobs in their age group are difficult to come by, those who remain most anxious about work whilst they are away are professionals under 25 years of age. Randstad which boasts that it is the leading company in human resources solutions in Spain, has produced a detailed review of how easy or difficult it is for professionals to relax whilst on holiday and whether they need to keep aware of what is going on. Whilst many of those who are unable to relax fully whilst on holiday blame themselves for wanting to keep an eye on developments and what is going on in the office, nearly 30 per cent indicated that they had been contacted by their employers or colleagues with questions. A small but significant percentage also admit that they have difficulty in delegating work or trusting colleagues to actually undertake the work they leave behind properly. Experts say however that there is an absolute need for those who work under pressure in particular to disconnect and actually spend some time simply enjoying themselves without have to think about their work. Indeed those who cannot disconnect are more likely to become stale and less efficient when they return to work and it is important for both the employee and the company to recognise this in order to ensure a higher level of productivity and positive decision making. With modern methods of communication, so the ability to separate work and holiday has become far more difficult and whilst employers and colleagues may not call the holidaymaker by phone, there are many

Holiday, what Holiday?

who use messaging apps and e-mails which appear less intrusive but do interrupt the holiday spirit. All of the analysis from Randstad shows that it is easier for older employees to cut themselves off from work and it is the youngest who are possibly more au fait with modern technology who take the longest. The worst group for continued awareness and contact with the company comes from the managerial sector and as a many as half cannot take a holiday without keeping in touch on a regular basis and these managers are the worst at delegating. The overall conclusion then is that when on holiday, both employees and employers should keep out of touch with each other in order to ensure that employees return to work refreshed and efficient.

STERLING has hit a nine month low against the euro with some Spanish banks charging almost one for one for withdrawals using British bank cards. It appears that the disparity is caused more by euro strength than pound weakness, although there are still fears that Britain without a cohesive Brexit policy will see a weakening of the economy and increasing inflation. To some extent, currency strength is based on future forecasts so when it looked as if the French election might see a victory for right wing Marine Le Pen and a possible rejection of the euro, that currency faltered. With her failure and the election of Emmanuel Macron as French President who is very much in favour of the eurozone, those fears dissipated and the euro started to bounce back. Another reason being put forward by analysts and economists is that the European Central Bank (ECB) may withdraw from its policy known as ‘quantative easing’ which has seen the ECB printing increased amounts of euros and putting them into the market. With up to €60 billion being re-

leased each month, the effect has been to keep the euro at a lower exchange rate against the other major currencies but as market makers believe this policy could be about to change then they are prepared to see the euro strengthen against sterling in particular. When the euro was first launched back in 1999, the exchange rate set with the pound was €1.42 but this has fluctuated over the years and has never yet gone as low as one for one. Low exchange rates are bad news for individuals relying on sterling invest-

ments or pensions but are good news for British exporters who want to sell as much product as possible. Finally, the Bank of England was expected to consider increasing the base rate which would have helped to strengthen the pound but as this has not happened, there is yet another reason for the declining rate. One thing is that those wanting to transfer euros from sterling would be well advised to speak to one of the currency exchange companies who advertise in this newspaper.

Drawdown: A new book by Paul Hawken THE most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming, a review by Ron Immink. If you follow the weather over the last few weeks, you must get the inkling that something is amiss. If you follow climate change reports, you will increasingly find very scary scenarios on what could happen to us, our children and our planet. Drawdown is a positive antidote to all the doom and gloom. It does point out some of the incredibly wasteful ways we operate at the moment, with agriculture, cement, plastic and fertilisers as shining examples of outdated, wasteful, criminal thinking. It makes it even harder to believe that the fossil fuel industry received more than $5.3 trillion (€5.5 trillion) in direct and indirect subsidies in 2015. Drawdown which is published by Penguin has 90 really good ideas that can be implemented now. Ignorance is no longer an excuse. Solar, wind, geothermal, artificial leaves, mammoth steppes, bamboo, marine farming, living houses, you name it, the solution is there.

Pío GarcíaEscudero and Iran’s Speaker Ali Larijani.

EWN online Join the conversation on our Facebook page

Spain and Iran are friends THE President of the Spanish Senate Pío García-Escudero met with President Rouhani of Iran during a trip to Teheran to witness the inauguration of Rohani. The State News Agency reported that the Iranian President said that since the July 2015 nuclear agreement went into effect, the necessary conditions have been provided for expansion of economic ties between Iran and European countries including Spain. “The European Union (EU) played an effective role in the im-

plementation of BARJAM (the Persian acronym for the nuclear deal),” he noted, lauding EU’s stance against Washington’s lack of commitment to the nuclear deal. The president went on to say that Tehran-Madrid ties have always been friendly, adding Iran and Spain, as two “friendly” countries, should receive the greatest benefits from the nuclear agreement which went into effect in January 2016. Rouhani also called for further cooperation between the two countries in the tourism industry.

Irish millionaire may sue bank following court case A COURT in Gibraltar has ruled that an employee working for the Royal Bank of Scotland International was responsible for the loss of £9.1 million. The judge came to the conclusion that the employee had dishonestly assisted the infamous Marrache Brothers to defraud Irish millionaire Jim Magner out of the money which he had invested in the bankrupt company. Whilst RBSI had defended the position of the bank, refusing to accept that it should be held responsible for the actions of its employee, it has been given 14 days to pay Mr Magner ’s costs of £400,000 and this decision will now make it easier for the Irish online gambler to sue for the money lost and inter-

est. The main defence that RSBI appeared to rely on was that the Marrache Brothers’ business was not well run as far as accounts and documents were concerned but as a well-respected firm of international lawyers there was no reason to suspect that they were dishonest. Part of the 82-page ruling focused on the fact that the RBSI employee did appear to have such suspicions, investigated some of the actions being taken and then inexplicably did nothing about it. A spokesman for the bank acknowledged the judge’s decision and indicated that its lawyers would consider the judgement in detail before deciding its next course of action.

An utter travesty of justice I’VE heard some jaw dropping judgements from a number of bewigged Wally’s over the years, but this week’s decision by one such incompetent truly took the whole tin. Natalia Saul, a so called ‘gambling addictive accountant,’ stole £350,000 from her employers over the space of 12 months. Judge Catherine Newman, who sentenced the woman at Southwark Crown Court to an almost unbelievably inadequate two-year suspended sentence, said in defence of her decision, that the accountant was ‘not the general stuff of which the prison population is made.’ ‘Er Wot!? She’s a crook who pleaded guilty to stealing 350 grand from her employers! That’s exactly the type of ‘stuff ’ that a large portion of the prison population do in fact consist of. The judge also remarked that she had actually considered giving

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

Not quite au fait with this judge’s idea of ‘prison fitness,’ I can only a s s u me th at if this ha d be e n a young, able bodied, working-class male, he would have had far more s e n ten cin g ‘s u ita bility’ tha n a highly educated female accountant.

Personally, I think this delusional judge should be immediately disbarred, or whatever they do with members of this pathetic

What does that even mean? Mike Senker

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I’VE mentioned this before but I had a stonker this week. Banks. Seven o’clock at night the phone goes showing No Caller ID. They ask for me by name then start the usual security stuff by asking for my Mum’s maiden name. So I then ask what it’s about. Now this is the UK bank that advertises every night on TV not to give too much information to the clever person who is to pretending to be from their company. So I ask what it is concerning in general and he says it’s a ‘servicing enquiry.’ A what? A servicing enquiry. What does that even mean? He says, ‘Sorry I can’t give you any more information unless you answer our security questions.’ Now remember they have phoned me. I know this happens to everyone but then I ask to speak to a supervisor and he says that it’s not necessary for me to speak to one. Anyway this goes on for a few more minutes with me repeatedly asking ‘What is a servicing enquiry?’ and this geezer on the other end, who has called me, refusing to give me any information unless I give him personal data. See you later - I put the phone down. Today I phoned their UK number and asked

a couple of general questions. The first was why, when they call you, they don’t have a telephone number that comes up on your phone as many big companies do? Their answer was ‘we never display a number.’ Why not? ‘Company policy.’ Here we go.‘Do you know what ‘servicing enquiry’ means? ‘No sorry I don’t.’ ‘OK, how do we check that when your company calls us that it’s a genuine call? Guess what - you can’t. It’s a bit of a trust thing after you have answered their security questions. So what do you do? Me? I’ll just keep driving them nuts when they phone me. I’ll ask them for their name and then call the bank myself to ask if this person called me. Then I don’t mind answering their security questions but they at least have to tell me why they are calling, not just phone me on my phone then ask me loads of questions before they talk to me. So I still don’t know what they wanted or what a ‘servicing enquiry’ is. There has to be a better system than calling people from an unknown number then start asking them personal stuff.I suggest a similar way to how my alarm company works. They call me and give me a password to prove it’s them and I then give them a password to prove it’s me. All pretty simple and really takes no time at all to set up. I might suggest it to the bank if I can ever get past their security system. Email Mikesenker@gmail.com

LEGALLY SPEAKING Top tips for visiting drivers 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.

DRIVE SAFELY: Always wear seatbelts.

WITH so many people visiting Spain for the first time this summer, the N-332 Guardia Civil team have shared their top tips for driving in Spain. Drive on the right. It may seem a simple and obvious thing but many people, particularly holidaymakers do forget, but the law states you must drive as far on the right as possible and remember to go anticlockwise around roundabouts. Wear seatbelts. Again, very simple, but with added visitors many people squeeze in an extra passenger or two but there should only be the same number of passengers as there are seatbelts and they must be worn by all occupants and worn correctly. Children under 1.35m must sit in the back of the vehicle and wear the appropriate child restraint for their age and weight. The only exception is when there aren’t any rear seats or when all seats are occupied by smaller children.

Don’t drink and drive. Spain has much lower limits than many other countries and with renewed patrols and campaigns against drink driving it is best not to drink any alcohol if driving. The same applies to drugs. Never use a mobile or electronic device whilst driving. You are allowed to use your phone as a GPS sat nav but you must not touch it when driving. Programme it before you set off and stop if you need to change it. Filter arrows. Some traffic lights have filters so if the light is red but there is an orange filter arrow pointing red, you are allowed to turn right if clear. Blue lights. Police vehicles have blue lights illuminated at all times but this doesn’t mean they are wanting to pull you over. To get you to stop they use red or white flashing lights. 112 emergency. If you have an emergency call 112. Operators speak numerous languages, and will assist you as best they can.

Charity begins at home... but shouldn’t end there! MUCH is made of the UK’s ‘chaotic’ charity sector, let alone those cringeworthy telethons. Diva slebs demanding press coverage for ‘doing my bit’ and squabbling over fees, petty expenses, credits - just about everything. And the nauseating spectacle of super-rich, self-righteous presenters, actors and comedians lecturing us how and where to donate our money. As for my own previous efforts at charity fundraising, these had some unexpectedly disastrous results. Following the 2005 Asian tsunami, I tried to help the British Red Cross fundraising appeal. This involved door-to-door collections of discarded stuff - clothes, toys, knives (all shapes and sizes), two sets of false teeth, what looked like a false eye (or an odd-shaped marble?),

NEW BOOK: The Girl in the Red Dress.

THURSDAY THOUGHTS By Graham Braben, Almeria

I am not growing old FOR many young energetic people across the world the tribulations of the older generation are of little interest until time reels them in and they suddenly realise they are approaching the decrepitude they thought would never come. But at least in Spain the family unit tends to be more appreciative of older relatives and less likely to leave them lonely and uncared for when they most need support. The climate here also helps elderly people get out more so that they can stay active. In cooler months the old men in Spain all seem to venture out in brown trousers and a dark red pullover, topped off by a cloth cap. On formal occasions the same trousers are teamed with a light beige jacket and a pork pie hat. Older Spanish ladies, meanwhile, wear what they want but reach a certain age at which it becomes mandatory to have their hair cut short, permed, and turned copper red. I saw a group of five elderly ladies chewing the fat on the promenade and they looked like unlikely sisters because they all had this same hairstyle. I wonder if when the time comes they go into the hairdresser and ask for ‘old lady hair, please.’ Having said that, I just passed a man in the street who cannot have been less than 85, and he was sporting a wavy reddish brunette hairpiece that appeared to be made of nylon. It would have looked better on a lady but ‘better’ is a relative term here. I have never seen a more obvious syrup in my life. And for any confused Spanish readers, syrup is slang for a wig. To check this just ask any Englishman sporting what looks like a wig and ask him ‘is that a syrup, mate?’ He will be delighted to tell you. Personally I am determined never to grow into an old person. Readers interested in submitting articles for this guest column should send articles of around 300 words on topics felt to be of interest to the cosmopolitan EWN readership to editorial@euroweeklynews.com.

excitable bulldog. “Boris’s harmless,” its owner said with all the animation and charm of Theresa May. “Boris’s got his teeth embedded in my ankle!” I screamed back. Best advice? Donate to a recognised charity with an excellent track record like the Costa del Sol’s Cudeca to which profits from all my novels go, including the latest: ‘The Girl in the Red Dress.’ Briefly, this is about the young daughter of a local doctor cold-bloodedly left to die in an icy river, whose parents stubbornly deny any involvement. Then a boy is also murdered, but it is investigative journalist Alice Myers who risks her life going undercover to search for the truth and justice for the victims confronting, amongst others, a famous TV celebrity. Unleashing a chain of events leading from two child murders to an officer’s death, this psychological crime thriller depicts a race against time right until the shocking ending. And finally, how did my Red Cross collection go? Great! Until I reached the last house where the owner interrupted me mid-spiel: “Sorry, ducky. I’m in the middle of blowdrying the budgie.” Words froze in my mouth as the door slammed shut in my face. I’d got as cheerful a welcome as a Trot at a Tory party conference! So if, at the next UK general election, you need a sure-fire method of offloading unwanted canvassers, this lady has just the answer… Nora Johnson’s other psychological/suspense crime thrillers ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.nora-johnson.net) available from Amazon in paperback/eBook (€0.99;£0.99) and iBookstore.

3,000 tons of plastic on the Med

On land and at sea waste is more than an eye-sore

In need of plastic surgery...

As record numbers of tourists touch down on Spain’s shores, David Noon examines how the plastic problem is worse than ever

291 identified uncontrolled waste landfills across Spain

90% of Mediterranean Sea turtles ingest plastic

30% of plastic is recycled in Spain

5.25 trillion pieces of plastic waste in world’s oceans

5 trillion plastic bags consumed each year across the world

AMILIES basking in glorious sunshine, children digging for buried treasure beneath golden sands and loved-up couples frolicking in the shallows are all things you’d expect to find on Spain’s beaches this summer. However, there is one unwanted visitor that is making a repeat appearance: plastic. (And no, we don’t mean TOWIE stars in Marbs or the latest batch of Love Islanders in Mallorca.) This year - more so than ever before - tourists along Spain’s coastlines and its islands are having to wade their way through plastic bottles, bags and packaging as they attempt to enjoy a dip in the Med. In total, researchers estimate that there is around 3,000 tons of plastic floating on the surface of the Mediterranean Sea, with more added to the fray every year. (No doubt, the travel agents didn’t mention that to the record number of tourists expected to touch down in Spain this summer.) And because the Med is almost enclosed the plastic is effectively trapped, taking decades to be broken down. However, it is not just the tourists affected by the plastic floaters. Marine life is also suffering as sea turtles mistake bottle tops for crustaceans and Mercadona bags for jellyfish.

F

€0.05 EU tax imposed on each plastic bag purchased

Scientists at the Society for the Protection of Turtles have been keeping a close watch on the Med and are alarmed by what they are seeing. Robin Snape, project co-ordinator for the group, said: “In the green turtle (the presence of plastic is) really common. The vast majority of them have some plastic in their gastro-intestinal tract. It’s more than 90 per cent of the population.” And it is not just turtles that are mistakenly chomping down on the plastic at sea. In 2013, a whale beached in Almeria with 17kg of plastic waste inside its stomach. The sheets of plastic discovered inside the whale were strikenly similar to those used in Almeria’s infamous

plastic greenhouses - of which 45,000 tons of plastic waste is produced each year. Conservationists are attempting to compensate for the deaths of the sea turtles by protecting nesting sites that are often dug up by dogs and foxes. But is that really the answer? Shouldn’t we all be doing more to prevent the plastic waste in the first place? While the likes of US president Donald Trump dismiss plastic waste, ocean pollution and global warming as ‘fake news,’ there are others doing their best to raise awareness. In Mallorca, conservation group OceanCare is attempting to raise awareness through its ‘I Care’ campaign. “People are becoming increasingly aware that our throw-away plastic culture needs to change fundamentally,” Fabienne McLellan of OceanCare said. “This is why OceanCare launched the ‘I Care’ movement which unites people around the world who want to tackle one of the most pressing challenges of our time: to put an end to the age of single-use plastic and thereby limiting the amount of plastic debris ending up in our oceans.” One (unconventional) way in which OceanCare is attempting to motivate people to join the cause is through

Dirty little secret

NOT SO GREEN: Almeria’s plastic greenhouses are an environmental disaster

SPAIN has almost 300 known illegal landfill sites, according to the EU. Earlier this year, the EU courts ruled that Spain was in breach of the European body’s Waste Framework Directive for failing to bring 61 landfill sites in line with EU environmental safety rules. Moreover, the EU has alerted Madrid to a further 230 landfill sites that are in breach of environmental regulations. The European Commission has been attempting to stamp down on Spain’s landfill problems for more than a decade. In ‘an effort to urge Spain to speed up the process’ of dealing with its landfill sites, the Court of Justice of the EU has ordered the 61 illegal landfills to be ‘closed, sealed and restored, without fur-

ther delays.’ In the meantime, the EU expects Spain to look into further illegal waste sites after an EU executive sent a formal notice to Madrid over ‘at least 291 identified uncontrolled waste landfills across Spain.’ But as policy officer for Zero Waste Europe Ferran Rosa says, the problem is not just limited to Spain. “The Spanish case highlights a problem that exists to a varying degree across Europe, and the difficulty of enforcing existing legislation, said Rosa. “Just taking this example, the infringement procedure for Spain is open since 2007 and even if the commission is willing to push for the implementation, potential sanctions take years to come,” Rosa said.

the medium of rock music. Collaborating with German rock band Itchy, OceanCare supported the band’s efforts to shoot its video for campaign song ‘The Sea.’ Set in Mallorca, the German rockers’ music video attempted to motivate its young fans by exposing the consequences of plastic pollution. McLellan added: “With these activities, we not only wish to raise awareness, but to also invite people to rethink their behaviour and join our movement - without pointing fingers but rather, with empowering them.” But while OceanCare is doing its bit in the Balearics, the mainland is facing a slap on the wrists for failing to meet an EU order on plastic bags. Supermarkets across the country may have started implementing a five cents charge per bag, but that falls far short of the EU’s Plastic Bag Directive. The EU Commission has sent Spain a final warning, informing the member state that it must either implement EU rules on lightweight plastic carrier bags or face infringement proceedings before the European Court of Justice. Spain - along with Greece, Italy, Poland and Cyprus - now has just IN DANGER: 90% of sea turtles have ingested plastic in the Med.

two months to satisfy the Commission if it wishes to stave off a court case. The Commission maintains that the member states have not properly implemented the Plastic Bags Directive which is intended to dramatically cut the consumption of carrier bags with a wall thickness of less than 50 microns within the EU. And in typical ‘mañana, mañana’ fashion, Spain has missed the deadline and some. Adopted more than two years ago, the deadline for transposition expired on November 27, 2016. Nine months later and Spain is still dragging its heels. In the long run, the ruling hopes to drastically cut down the number of plastic bags circulated in Europe. The Directive obligates member states to take measures which may include requiring that a price be charged for these bags and/or introducing national reduction targets that ensure that no more than 90 lightweight carrier bags are consumed per person and year by the end of 2019 and no more than 40 bags by the end of 2025. Spain may or may not receive a financial telling off by the EU courts for its failure to curb the plastic flow. But it is not the public coffers nor the politicians who are the real sufferers here. For every day that plastic regulations are ignored, the Mediterranean’s remarkable sea life will continue depleting.

Eating your problems EVERYONE has been guilty of tucking into a tub of Ben & Jerry’s or gorging on a packet of crisps in an attempt to eat their problems away. Now scientists think they have discovered one hungry critter who is ready, and willing, to eat away our plastic problems. Wax moth larvae are usually bred as fish bait, but a chance discovery has revealed their taste for plastic - which could be used to beat polluting seas. In the wild wax worms live on beeswax, making them a constant pest for beekeepers across Europe. When Federica Bertocchini a scientist and amateur beekeeper - removed an infestation from one of her hives and put them in a plastic bag, the worms simply ate their way out. “I went back to the room where I had left the worms and I found that they were everywhere,” she said. “The bag was full of holes.” The prison break led Bertoc-

To her surprise lab tests revealed that 100 worms can devour 92 milligrams of polyethylene in as little as 12 hours. With such a voracious appetite for plastic, the worms could be put to good use, the scientists reasoned. And with 3,000 tons of plastic floating atop the Med and thousands more tons sitting in landfills in Spain and across Europe, scientists are now pushing these plastic-eating

worms as a way to tackle the waste. “We want to know if they’re munching the plastic to use as a food, or just because they want to escape,” said fellow researcher PaoloBombelli. “If they just want to escape, they are going to get fed up very soon. But if they’re munching it to use as an energy source it’s a completely different ball game. We are not yet able to answer this, but we’re working on it.” While more tests are currently being carried out, a beekeepers nightmare could soon be heralded as an environmental saviour.

ON August 29, unless someth i n g u n t o wa r d a n d even more unexpected happens, Angeles Muñoz will once again become mayor of Marbella. Marbella has had many mayors over the years, good ones, b a d o n e s, o n e s th a t have cost Marbella millions and ended up in prison and others who have wholehearted l y t r i e d t o d o th e best for the city. M os t o f t h e m g e t to ‘serve out’ their four year turn, others are re-elected and continue in office more than once, as was the case with the previous local PP government. However, in the last elections a n d p o ssi b l e th ird term, the PP did not get an outright majority and suddenly found themselves reduced to being the opposition. Now, just over two years later and due to a complete turn ar o u n d b y c o a l i tio n

party member OSP (Option San Pedro), Marbella is once again living a historic moment in its politics and the PP is set to retake office following the formal presentation of a new collaboration formed between these two parties, who have obviously now found common ground. Although the PP got more votes in the last elections, they did not have an overall majority of seats and Angeles could not find any allies. In fact quite the contrary as she found herself faced with three socialist parties, prepared to join forces if perhaps for no other reason than to put a stop to the existing government. At that time Angeles’ on-

Angeles Muñoz likely to return as Marbella’s mayor. ly hope of maintaining power would have been an allegiance with the independent San Pedro party OSP but as it w ould s e e m, A nge le s M uñoz a nd R a fa e l Piña could not see eye to eye and in absence of an agreement,

the existing ‘coalition party’ was born, headed up by the second largest vote, the PSOE and Jose Bernal. Now it would seem there has been a change of heart and during the meeting set for August 29, 2017 as I un-

der st and i t , Raf ael Pi ña, head of the OSP will present together with Angeles Muñoz a new, united front which according to the local laws, puts her and the PP back in a majority position with the right to regain con-

trol of the Marbella Town Hall - just like that. The f unny t hi ng i s t hat none of us expats appear to really know about it or even care. Even I have to admit that if it had not been the idea to use the local town hall media to unite our fragmented international comm uni t y I ’ d have no i dea who was mayor or even if Mar bel l a had one ei t her. For those who are taking note however this is noteworthy indeed. So as I understand it, as of August 29 Ms Angeles Muñoz will once again be mayor of Marbella, San Pedro will be €18 million better off for it and our existing mayor will be the one who is now out for the count. That’s if nothing else happens in the meanwhile of course. www.rtvmarbellanow.com @MarbellaNOW

Some useful tips for buying your holiday home here in Spain wide for almost 15 years. Your property will be covered whether it’s occupied or unoccupied and if you decide to use it for short or long term lets as standard on your policy.*

• BUYING a Spanish holiday home Tapas, siestas and beaches, it’s no wonder people dream about living in Spain. If it’s about to become a reality it can sometimes feel like there’s a lot to consider, which is why we’ve provided these useful tips. • Location You can’t resist that Spanish charm but where in Spain do you buy? Location can make a difference depending on how you use the property. If it’s a rental then you may want to look somewhere with lots of attractions, easy access to public transport and popular with tourists. However if you plan to spend a lot of time there yourself, you might want somewhere quieter and more traditionally Spanish where you can learn the language.

LOCATION: You may want somewhere quiet and more traditional. • Insurance Although not the most exciting part of buying a holiday home, a lot of people would consider it important because despite your best ef-

forts to keep the property safe and secure, it’s never guaranteed. Intasure has been specialising in holiday home insurance in over 40 countries world-

• Lifestyle If you’re looking to buy in Spain and you’re planning to visit often, think carefully about how it could affect your lifestyle. Language - You can prepare yourself by learning some of the basics, there are some great tools you can use to do this - Duolingo, Babbel or Rosetta Stone. Cost of living - Since the Brexit announcement the pound has weakened against the Euro, so it might be worth calculating the yearly cost of food, bills and utilities to budget effectively.

Sunday opening with a smile SO some businesses in Malaga Port choose not to open on Sundays (Edition 1673) . While the choice is obviously theirs, for the sake of the city, and the passengers who arrive on cruise liners on a Sunday, I hope they change their minds. To my mind the Spanish should not complain about the plethora of Chinese Bazaars that do so well in many parts; they open all hours every day, and provide a service that is needed. A port welcoming cruise liners seven days a week need facilities - shops, cafes and other outlets that operate on a daily basis. That includes Sundays. Malaga has improved tremendously in the 12 years I have lived on the Costa del Sol, and the port is an ever-better facility but for passengers docking on a Sunday and faced with shutters rather than a welcome mat, it creates a far from perfect view.

Safety first AT Benidorm’s Levante beach in mid-afternoon there were no lifeguards covering more than half the beach. I then saw a lifeguard running past Biblioplaya towards the Rincon, as there was obviously an emergency, while three other lifeguards nearby stood chatting with their backs to the sea. Basic safety is the least we should expect, even though venturing into the sea is far from safe with rocks covering sections of Levante beach. Years ago it was announced this

It’s just all too confusing (Mike Senker) BRILLIANT Mike! And new power stations supplying allelectric cars burn what? Gas. More CO2 emissions. Just what we all need! Let’s ramp up the global warming. It would be funny if it wasn’t so serious. Sam Bo IN THEORY - but not in practice, electricity could be generated from Hydro schemes, as it is in Norway. Or, again in theory, from nuclear power, or yet again in theory, from solar power. But all those require such vast investment and so long to get going, that Oil, Coal and Gas are going to be with us for a very long time. PM

Anti-tourism protesters demonstrate on Barcelona beach THEY are not against all tourists, they are against the rubbish tourism, the ones who buy cheap booze, get legless, throw up, pee, poo and have sex in the streets. This is happening in the big cities where apartments are being rented out to big groups. Who wouldn’t be against that? Barbara Taylor TOURISM only accounts for 11 per cent of the GDP. Spain does not have to rely on tourism to survive despite the comments on here suggesting that is the case. The Spanish

economy is the fifth-largest in Europe behind Germany, United Kingdom, Italy and France; and the fourth-largest in the Eurozone, based on nominal GDP statistics. In 2012, Spain was the 12th-largest exporter in the world and the 16th-largest importer.

A BIT of competition never hurt anyone, don’t these taxi drivers realise that if their prices were sensible they would actually make more money due to a surge in people actually using the service! Mark Connor

Costa del Sol to fight against ‘wild’ hen and stag parties

Two Brits investigated for shining lasers at planes landing in Malaga HOW utterly stupid can they be, what mental age can the father be? let alone the son, they deserve everything the courts dish out. Hazel White

AT last - many hen and stag parties cause mayhem and I welcome this. Dissuade the reality TV filming as well and we may start to see some improvements on the CDS. Mark Craig OMG, their banning live music in as many venues as they can, they now want to ban Stag and Hen parties what’s next? Banning alcohol in bars? Matt Coy

A RECENT EWN article Customers left five days without service: five days is a mere bagatelle, try 14 and before that 11 days with no explanation, just “we will let you know when we have information.” As pensioners in Cartama campo we rely on our landline and internet, yet emails and telephone calls are met with the same response. I asked for a Moviestar contact for information from the ‘horse’s mouth’, but this was refused “as they won’t speak to you, as you are the third party”, and our service provider, BT, refused to speak to them on our behalf. We cannot say “to hell with it” as Movistar have the monopoly, so, nowhere to go! Patricia Szalai Coin, Malaga

Blood query I NOTED a EWN article regarding Blood Donations in Spain. As a Gold Badge lifelong blood donor in the UK I have tried unsuccessfully to donate blood since moving to Spain 14 years ago, but have always been advised “We do not accept blood from British citizens who lived in the UK during the 1980’s/90’s because of Cruetzfeldt Jacobs Disease, CJD, (Mad Cow Disease)!” Offered blood donations in Germany, France and Israel have been rejected for the same reason. Has there been a policy change in Spain? Anonymous El Campello Editor’s Note: Spain continues a deferral policy regarding blood and plasma donation for those who lived for more than three months in the UK between 1980-1996. These deferrals hope to eliminate up to 90 per cent of the overall risk of CJD or BSE. Javea

Cigarettes seized

IN the early hours of last Tuesday officers of the Gibraltar Customs Marine Section seized cigarettes with a retail value of £9,000. The officers apprehended a 40-year-old Spanish national in a rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RHIB) just off Emerson’s place close to the western end of the runway. Nine cases of cigarettes and the RHIB were confiscated during the action.

GIBRALTAR’S first Bitcoin ‘cash machine’ is now installed in the reception of the local World Trade Center. People working and living in Gibraltar, as well as those visiting can now purchase the crypto currency using cash and mobile phone wallet apps. The Bitcoin ATM as it is known accepts pounds and euro notes, so a fraction of a Bitcoin can be purchased for as little as £10 or €10. Bitcoin ATMs are regarded as the beacons of the crypto currency industry, which has become a worldwide phenomenon. Bitcoin has reached its all-time highest price recently. In January 2009 when Bitcoin was first launched, one Bitcoin was worth next to nothing and today it’s worth a massive $4,000 (€3,412) with leading analysts predicting that value will hit a six-digit number in 10 years’ time.

Repainting of steps to celebrate 50th year AS Gibraltar gets ready for the 50th anniversary of the Referendum celebrations the Youth Service is repainting the steps leading up to the Upper Rock. Whilst some towns in Spain have chosen to paint steps the colours of the Rainbow Flag, Gibraltar has chosen the original Union Flag (widely referred to as the Union Jack) that became a symbol of Gibraltar’s wish to remain British forever. On the two previous occasions when Devil’s Gap Road, the commonly known Referendum Steps were painted, the work was carried out by local residents. In this instance it was considered important that the link between local youth and previous generations who did so much for freedom of expression was reinforced, so the Youth Service took the task on as part of their community involve-

2. La Poza De Los Huevos, Mijas, Malaga There is a hidden natural pool, known as Poza de los Huevos, located in the outskirts of Mijas. Bathers can enjoy the cool waters in a peaceful setting. This pool is formed by the Rio Las Pasadas, and it is said that ancestors used it as baths, since the water contains manganese, a mineral with many benefits for asthma and for healing skin wounds. There are other pools nearby, many are formed at the feet of fabulous waterfalls.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Because you are about to enter an active phase, it would be best to keep things as straightforward and organised as possible. Those around you may be less than exciting at the moment, so keep the interest going with joint activities and accepting interesting invitations.

Have you been a bit of a couch potato recently? Spend some of this week working towards a healthy mind in a healthy body. Running yourself ragged should certainly be avoided. Seek expert advice now about a problem that just won’t go away. It will, but only with a lot of effort. Although you prefer to share your activities, this is one area that you need to concentrate on fully, so go for it alone to begin with.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Arm yourself with plenty of information about what is going on in your life at the moment. Those close might expect you to lead the way on an important matter. You need to trust your instincts more and have confidence. Think in the long term. Those who are not considered important now could be so in the future. As you prefer being in charge, this should not seem unnatural to you.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Although you feel like going it alone at the moment, you would do well to involve someone close in your project or exercise. There is room for improvement in both your life and your health but it can be more enjoyable if shared. Expect surprises in your love life and you will not be surprised. .

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It could be that you are feeling a little below par at the moment. You may assume it is because of a recent emotional upset, but it is unlikely to be quite that simple. Spend a bit of time and money on yourself for a change. Develop your talents in the realms of writing, painting and music. This need not take a large amount of time. Start with one simple project.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Despite pulling out all the stops when it comes to a certain person or project, your charm may not be working as well as usual this week. It is still a fine time to beaver on quietly in the background. A few emotional fireworks make you sit up and take notice, but try to be openminded.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Get some rest and peace because, if you let yourself get too tired, your temper could suffer. When it comes to business get it over with so that you can spend extra time on your social life. Something important is round the corner.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Sometimes you shuffle things around to survive difficult times. The energy that this uses means that realising a dream this week could mean difficult choices to be made. Your need to be settled makes you impatient.

BIRTHDAYS

THE young daughter of a local doctor is cold-bloodedly left to die in an icy river. Her parents stubbornly deny any involvement. Do they want the truth uncovered or ensure it remains buried? Then, within days, a boy is also murdered in one of the Peak District’s bleakest cases ever when a blizzard traps the murder suspects in a small, isolated village. But it is investigative journalist Alice Myers who risks her life going undercover to search for the truth and justice for the victims confronting, amongst others, a famous TV celebrity. Once she finds a thread to pull, a ruthless international conspiracy with a callous disregard for human life start unravelling. An intricately-plotted, pacy and edgy thriller that has you hooked from the first chapter with its realistic characters, unexpected twists and turns and gripping storyline, the author juggles motives and suspects, tension and suspense, keeping you guessing in a race against time until the shocking ending.

Dermatology-Skin Cancer prevention TODAY parents are aware that taking care of their children’s skin is essential for their future health. The same tendency has also been observed in adults. “Now people are aware that not just melanoma but also skin ageing is related to sun exposure,” explains the Dermatology Department at HC Marbella. The lack of interest from adolescents and young adults regarding sun protection worries dermatologists greatly. Having a tan and looking good is more important to them than their health. Melanoma: when skin neither forgives nor forgets. Eighty per cent of the solar radiation reaching our skin is received before the age of 18, therefore adolescence is key to avoiding skin damage. “Skin damage caused by exposure to the sun is accumulative, therefore the patients we are seeing with skin cancer now are those who have had sunburn in the past,” explains Dr del Boz from the Dermatology Department, meaning adults who had excessive sun exposure in childhood and adolescence are those who are now suffering the consequences.

ANY CONCERNS: It is always better to consult a dermatologist. For example it is occurring in people who were born between 1940 and 1960, a time when no one was aware of the dangerous effects of exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Teenagers are not protecting themselves from the sun: What mistakes are they making? 1. Using sunscreen to prolong sun expo-

sure time. Sunscreen protects well against ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, which produces sunburn, but this is not the whole picture. There are some sunscreens which do not protect against ultraviolet A or infra-red radiation, as a result damage is caused and we see the longterm effects: wrinkles and cancer.

2. Sunbathing around the middle of the day. The hours in the middle of the day are the most dangerous, with the highest intensity radiation. 3. Reapplying sunscreen when sweating or wet. Although sunscreen might be water resistant, the resistance is limited and the effect starts to be lost when dried or rubbed with a towel. 4. Not applying the correct amount. We know that, on average, between a quarter and a half of the recommended amount is usually applied. 5. Not applying sunscreen when already tanned. Although dark or very tanned skin has a higher sun resistance and does not go red or burn, this does not mean it is protected from the damaging effects of solar radiation. These are only a few examples. If you have any concerns that a mole has changed shape or colour, or you have a wound that does not heal, or even if a new skin lesion appears, it is always better to consult a dermatologist. In this way if there is a problem with your skin, it can be detected and treated quickly in the easiest way possible. More information www.hcmarbella.com

Sagging neck & double chin WHAT causes a double chin and a sagging neck? Age and accumulation of solar radiation cause loss of collagen and elastin (responsible for skin firmness) under the chin. Are there any effective treatments for this? Ye s , i n a d d i t i o n t o s u rg e r y, t h e r e i s a l s o laser: a technique which avoids surgery and provides extraordinary results. Laser treatment attenuates and eliminates a double chin, and tightens neck skin. Which benefits does laser treatment provide? The effectiveness of this method is based on the ability to repair the underlying collagen structure of the skin under the chin and neck, by activating the natural production of collagen and elastin. Results are noticed i m m e d i a t e l y, w i t h t h e effect increasing gradually over the days, as the body stimulates its natural production. How is the laser treatment applied for double

chin and saggy neck problems? Heat is applied and controlled by means of low frequency laser which penetrates the deeper layers of skin without burning or damaging the epidermis, acting from inside the tissues. Sessions are only 30 minutes, painless, and requires no incisions, producing no side effects, and thus being able to carry on with your daily routine immediately. Who can benefit from laser treatment? Anyone who wants to reduce or get rid of a double chin and/or a sagging neck. Also recommended to prevent skin from sagging and fat accumulating in this area from 35 years onwards. Before starting any treatment, a doctor should assess the patient accordingly, that’s why at Arques Clinic we offer you a free diagnostic session to come and inform yourself.

Is your Facebook making you paranoid? YOUNG people are the most at risk of paranoid thoughts and this could be down to their increased use of social media. This is the belief of a clinical psychology profess o r a t K i n g ’s C o l l e g e i n London who believes social media can also lead to paranoid thoughts with feelings of being followed and that we are being tracked constantly leading to greater anxiety. The NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) seems to agree and reported a rise in self-harm among youngsters last December, also blaming social media. An NSPCC report said that 18,778 children aged 11 t o 1 8 i n E n g l a n d a n d Wa l e s w e r e a d m i t t e d t o hospital for self-harm in 2015/16, an increase of 14 per cent compared to the previous year. The charity also revealed they gave the equivalent of 50 counselling sessions a day to youngsters which were related to self-harm. They said from the calls, it is clear that youngsters today feel pressure to have a perfect life and a certain image due to what they see and what is portrayed on social media. Social media can also lead to paranoid thoughts with feelings of being followed and that we are being tracked constantly leading to greater anxiety. Most people will experience some types of paranoia but it can increase to a worrying level. Paranoia includes feelings that you are being discussed behind your back, that others are trying to exclude you or get to you ranging to more serious paranoid thoughts that you are at risk of being physically harmed or that people are trying to take your money or possessions.

Ask the optician contact lenses Nerea Galdos, Store Director from Specsavers Opticas Marbella LAST month there was a story in the press about a lady who had 27 contact lenses removed from her eye by surgeons. This is a very unusual case, but has brought up some concerns about contact lenses, so here are our answers to some common questions to put your mind at rest. Q: I have relied on glasses for years and want to try contact lenses, what do you recommend? A: I would recommend soft contact lenses, as they are very pliable therefore easy to get used to and comfortable to wear. They cannot be dislodged easily from the eye and they give excellent all round vision. Q: What different types are available? A: There are a number of options to choose from; • Daily disposable lenses, which you throw away every day and replace with a new pair. • Monthly disposable lenses which last a month but need to be cleaned and stored in solution overnight

• All day-all night lenses, which you can sleep in during the night. Q: How should I care for contact lenses to avoid infections? A: Contact lenses bring great benefits and are easy to use. Following simple hygiene and care guidelines will keep your eyes healthy and mean that your vision remains clear and the lenses stay comfortable. Your optician will explain how to look after your contacts when you first get them, but here are some simple rules to follow: • Always wash, rinse and dry your hands thoroughly before removing your contact lenses • Only use them for the recommended time

• Never rinse your contact lenses in tap water - you risk getting a severe eye infection • Don’t transfer contact lens solution into smaller travel size bottles, as it may no longer be sterile • Never wet your contact lenses with saliva - it’s not sterile and could cause an eye infection • Never wear your contact lenses in the shower or when swimming (unless you use water-tight goggles) At Specsavers Opticas, you can try before you buy, with one pair of monthly lenses or five pairs of daily disposable lenses free.

Plantar Fasciitis WHAT is Plantar Fasciitis? Plantar - base of the foot Fascia - stretchy, strong connective tissue that helps stabilise your muscles throughout the body. Itis - inflammation. Plantar fasciitis - inflammation of the connective tissue which runs from the heel to the base of your toes How does it feel? It often starts as a dull, intermittent pain in the heel or arch of the foot which becomes a sharp, persistent and often piercing pain spreading throughout the foot.

By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com

If the pain doesn’t ease within two weeks get in touch with a professional.

This pain is often worst first thing in the morning or after resting. Pain can be eased with the first few steps of the day and then increase as the day goes on. If left untreated, the pain can spread up into your Achilles tendon (which is connected to the Plantar Fascia) and begin to affect your knees or become Heel Spur Syndrome. What causes Plantar Fasciitis? When the arch of the foot collapses (overpronation) the plantar fascia gets twisted as the heel stays in one place but the toes twist and move. This causes the fascia to become inflamed and painful. What can I do? • Wear the right shoes good arch support is key and heel support helps too. Flipflops are the worst so you might be in more pain over the summer. • If you can’t find good shoes (or just really like your

current ones!) a simple orthotic / insole will help too. Again, make sure that it has a good arch support and a proper heel cushion (you won’t find one in Mercadona). • Stretch and massage stretching the calf will help to stretch the plantar fascia and massaging the base of the foot will help you feel more comfortable - check out our blog for detailed stretch and massage routine. • Ice - a lovely option in summer! Half fill a small water bottle, put it in the freezer and roll the icy bottle under your foot - an icy stretch for a double win. With the right shoes and a regular stretch and massage routine you should be able to resolve the problem. However if the pain doesn’t ease within two weeks get in touch with a professional!

Food poisoning

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. WHAT is food poisoning? Food poisoning is an illness caused by eating contaminated food especially foods that have a limited shelf or fridge life such as eggs, dairy products or meat. Shellfish can also be particularly dangerous if it is not cleaned, defrosted or cooked properly. It’s not usually serious and most people get better within a few days without treatment. How can you get food poisoning? In most cases of food poisoning, food is contaminated by bacteria, such as salmonella or Escherichia coli (E coli), or a virus, such as the Norovirus. What are its symptoms? The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within one to two days after eating contaminated food, although they may start between a few hours and several weeks later. The main symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach cramps, a lack of energy and weakness, loss of appetite, chills, aching muscles and a high temperature.

How can it be treated? Until you feel better, you should rest and drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Eat only when you feel you can, but start with small, light meals which are dry or plain such as toast, crackers or rice, until you begin to feel better. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, fizzy drinks and spicy foods as they can make you feel worse. When should I see a doctor? You should seek medical attention if your symptoms are severe - for example, if you’re unable to keep down any fluids because you are vomiting repeatedly, symptoms don’t start to improve after a few days, you have symptoms of severe dehydration, such as confusion, a rapid heartbeat, sunken eyes and passing little or no urine. You should also go to your doctor if you are pregnant, over 60 or if your baby or young child has suspected food poisoning. How is food contaminated? Not cooking food thoroughly, not reheating previously cooked food enough or not correctly storing it.

Toyah Wilcox visits the Rock THOSE who remember the slightly lispy proto-punk singer and actress Toyah Wilcox may be interested to know that she is playing a oneoff gig in Gibraltar. Her ‘up close and personal’ performance will be presented in the superb surroundings of St Michael’s Cave half way up the Rock on Tuesday August 29 and she will be supported by local band and winner of this year’s Gibraltar Song Festival, Jetstream. Married to creative genius, founder and guitarist of the legendary King Crimson, Toyah had to overcome a number of physical disabilities as well as cope with bullying when young but moved on to become a household name. Apart from musical performances, she is about to appear

in a film which traces the lives of a number of characters from the film Quadrophenia which she appeared in with Sting who recently played in Fuengirola.

Dinosaurs roam WHILST dinosaurs have been extinct for millions of years, they seem to have a habit of re-emerging in Marbella where they are particularly popular. Having attracted some 3,000 visitors during their last visit in July, Expo Jurásico will be open again from 7pm to 11pm at the Adolfo Suárez Trade Fair and Congress Centre until Thursday August 31. According to the manager of the Congress Centre, “It’s a truly unforgettable experience that delights visitors who are taken on an exciting journey through the dinosaur era.”

There are now 20 life-sized animatronic creatures simulating much of the behaviour of such recognisable prehistoric beasts as Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus, Diplodocus and Protoceratops without the bloodletting of the carnivores. There is a documentary video on recent dinosaur discoveries and a child’s interactive zone. Entrance costs €8 and is free for those under three. Tickets can be purchased through Ticketea or at the Jurassic Expo box office. For more information visit http://expojurasico.com/.

Tattoo conventions straddle the world.

Malaga tattoo convention THE fourth Malaga Tattoo Convention will be held at the Malaga Trade Fair and Congress Centre from September 8 to 10. Tattoos which were once considered the adornment for sailors and the odd musician are now universally popular with men and women equally highly decorated in many cases. There will be a number of competitions during the course of the event with prizes in 42 different daily or special

categories and in order for artists to win any awards, they have to execute the tattoos during the event. There will be various categories including best in monochrome, best colour and best freehand with tattoo artists encouraged to photograph or video their work in progress so that it can be shown that they have not used transfers. One of the highlights of the show will be a full back tattoo undertaken by five top international artists and the show

will attract tattooists from all over Spain as well as most of Europe and some from as far afield as Asia, Polynesia and South America. Expect a number of local artists to produce inventive and interesting versions of Malaga symbols El Cenachero (Fishmonger) and the Biznaga (a posy of Jasmine flowers).

The Wright Plaice for your favourite fish THOSE who crave the taste of well-prepared fish and chips need look no further than the Wright Plaice in La Cala de Mijas. Edward Wright, who has spent 20 years running nine restaurants in Costa Blanca decided the time had come to move further south and this bright and modern fish restaurant offers all the dishes you would expect, plus a few more. Many will remember seeing Edward when he appeared as a guest on his brother Elliott’s reality show the Playa in Marbella together with their father Eddie who is another long term restaurateur now living in the Costa del Sol. This new fish restaurant has a large interior dining area where guests can watch the food being prepared by Alan Whittaker who first fell in love with Britain’s traditional favourite at the age of 11 when he helped his mother in her fish and chip shop and then when old enough to start work, served his ‘apprenticeship’ in Harry Ramsden’s in Gateshead. Having worked in a number of restaurants he was tempted to return to his first love and the whole menu has been thought through to ensure

Edward and Alan.

NEW FISH RESTAURANT: The Wright Plaice. that much of it is suitable for those with allergies or have strong vegan beliefs. No longer are the fish and chips thrown into vats of molten lard as everything that has to be fried is cooked in Rape Seed Oil which is considered to be the safest for those with Gluten, Soy and Celiac allergies.

So important do Edward and Alan consider that clients should be well looked after that they also keep a second fryer separate and in another room, so Vegans and Vegetarians can enjoy the food provided they tell Edward when ordering. The Wright Plaice welcomes take away orders as well as eat in and offers quite a few fish

options that you don’t normally find in Spanish fish and chip shops, so apart from Cod, Plaice and Scampi, they also offer Haddock, Skate and Rock giving customers a first class choice. Portions are very generous and there is of course a children’s menu as well. It’s not just fish as there is a good selection of traditional pies, burgers (including a vegetarian option), spit roasted chicken and sausages together with all of the side dishes you would expect including the Wally, a London name for a large pickled gherkin. If you have room after enjoying a substantial main course, there is also the option to order ice cream, the delicious home-made dessert of the day or just a drink from the well-stocked bar. The Wright Plaice opens from 5pm to 11pm Monday to Saturday (except Friday when it opens at 1pm). 951 563 019, Facebook The Wright Plaice.

A rose by any other name

We will be the first restaurant in London to serve grouse from the Glorious Twelfth. Roasted and served with liver parfait on toast, red cabbage and ceps.” Restaurant 45 Jermyn Street.

GOOD FOOD, GOOD WINE AND GOOD FRIENDS WITH

GARRY WAITE

A

S a very young child I was brought up in the beautiful city of Exeter. From the age of about five to 13 of which the last few years were spent at boarding school as my parents moved away. But we all had fond memories of the ancient city on the River Exe in south west England. Dating back to the Roman era, the Exeter city walls surround its centre and Gothic Exeter Cathedral. Exeter Castle, a Norman landmark, overlooks leafy Northernhay and Rougemont Gardens. The place is steeped full of history and it was with some sadness that I witnessed on TV the fire that destroyed the iconic Royal Clarence Hotel. This major landmark overlooking the Cathedral was a place of choice for Christmas lunch and my father would use the place regularly for business lunches. Virtually destroyed by fire in October last year, the hotel is now being rebuilt by its owners. The hotel, said to be England’s oldest, was built in 1769. It was named after the Duchess of Clarence (Queen Adelaide), wife of the future William IV, who stayed there in 1827 and visited the hotel on many occasions and gave The Clarence Hotel the

Glorious Twelfth The original - in all its ‘Royal Glory.’ ‘Royal’ seal of approval. A spokeswoman for the hotel group said owner Andrew Brownsword had confirmed plans “to rebuild the façade as closely as possible to the original, whilst behind this will sit a new hotel to offer the city of Exeter a modern hotel that can best serve the city and its people.” However a row is brewing over the name of the rebuilt hotel. Historian Peter Thomas maintains the hotel should be given a new name when it is completed. It brings into question a historical and perhaps legal question. Can the newly built hotel maintain its ‘Royal’ status? As a historic title how can it be passed on when the original building does not exist. Only a minor percentage of the original building remains intact and the whole of the façade is to be painstakingly rebuilt to match the original.

The structure behind will be completely new and when finished will join the list of other Exeter pseudo buildings and therefore when it is completed it will have no bearing on the original structure. Exeter was at the forefront of maintaining its inherited and historical facades after fires and world wars. Many buildings in the city were rebuilt but maintained their historical building connections. With their being virtually nothing of the original hotel left it will be hard to call it ‘The First Hotel in England.’ Perhaps this can be preceded by: On This Site Stood! Why not just call it ‘The New Royal Clarence Hotel?’

Would be ungracious not to mention the famous whisky MATTHEW GLOAG was a grocer and wine merchant in Perth, Scotland. Gloag purchased whiskies from distilleries around Scotland, and when Queen Victoria visited Perth in 1842, he was invited to supply the wines for the royal banquet. In 1860, his son, William Gloag, took over the company and began producing blended whiskies. In 1896, William’s nephew, also named Matthew after his grandfather, took over the company. He created a brand called The Grouse in 1896, which was renamed The Famous Grouse in 1905. Matthew Gloag’s daughter Phillippa first designed the label’s grouse icon.

103

In 1970, Matthew Gloag & Son, owned by the Gloag family, was sold to Highland Distillers, after the death of the chairman, Matthew Frederick Gloag. The marketing and distributive power of the company saw the Famous Grouse become the highest selling Scotch in Scotland by 1980 and the second highest selling in the UK. From the 1980s the brand began to be exported overseas, where it now sells over two million cases annually. In 1984 The Famous Grouse was awarded the Royal Warrant. Churlish not to mention it.

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

IN the early 80’s I was doing a consultancy job for a hotel in Braemar in Scotland. A beautiful part of the world and a chance for me to see the iconic Highland Games attended by the Queen and Prince Philip as well as other members of the Royal Family. But, due to the generosity of my client, had the rare opportunity to be involved in the Glorious Twelfth - the start of the Red Grouse hunting season. Visitors from abroad and aristocracy of the UK, pay fortunes to have the pleasure of hunting these amazing game birds that can fly at around 70mph in, at times, a zigzagging motion. Much like Beaujolais Nouveau in November, hotels vie to be the first to serve the delicacy on their evening menu. Even in those days the hotel owner charged £1,000 per gun per day. Nowadays the ‘gun’ charge is much more expensive, running into thousands, with owners charging £150 a brace on top. Grouse shooting contributes millions to the economy every year and also supports thousands of people - from gamekeepers and beaters to people in tourism and hospitality. Grouse shooting can be traced back 160 years to 1853. It started to take off when the railways suddenly made it easier to get to the moors, and shotguns became breech-loading.

Although grouse shooting is most commonly associated with the Scottish Highlands, red grouse were, and still are, shot on moors in Wales, Northern Ireland and in England’s Peak District. Grouse are safe for one day of the week. It’s illegal to shoot grouse - as well as many other game birds - on Sundays. In 2012 when the Glorious Twelfth fell on a Sunday, it had to be moved to August 13th. The law on Sunday shooting is laid out in the Game Act of 1831. (It’s not against the law in Scotland, but the custom is still adopted.) A few quirky points about the Red Grouse: • They make a very distinctive call that sounds like ‘Go back! Go back! Go back’ as they fly fast and low above the heather. • They have less than a third of the fat and twice the protein of roast chicken. • It is Scotland’s national game bird and is the emblem of the famous whisky.

Purslane - weed or culinary delight?

FOR those with gardens and houseplants, it may be useful to know that used teabags and c o ff e e grounds can be used as an effective organic fertiliser, and, at the same time,

PURSLANE: A replacement for spinach.

GRAEME TYRRELL MANY plants are termed weeds, but a weed is really only a plant in the wrong place or a plant not wanted where it is. Crab grass is a weed in the vegetable, or ornamental garden, but makes a hardy lawn species. Oats are a weed in a wheat field and wheat in an oat field. Persistent plants that selfseed or spread in other ways into the garden are generally termed as weeds. Few people enjoy weeding, but weeding is necessary to remove unwanted plants to keep the garden how it is meant to be. If our concept of what a garden is meant to be changed, though, there are many more possibilities. Various alternatives to styles developed in the disciplined Victorian era of gardening, when full time gardeners tended the labours of the garden, allowing the creation of wonderful formal ornamental and kitchen gardens, are now being seen. In less formal gardens, plants can grow more naturally due to the tolerance of selfemerging plants that can, in fact, be used in various ways. The hot summer sun can

overheat the soil dramatically in the Mediterranean garden, damaging the root systems of the plants we are trying to grow. Allowing a ground cover of naturally-occurring plants can provide a cooler soil. Many naturally occurring plants are grown around fruit trees and in vegetable patches for this reason. Amongst many of these plants is Purslane, (Portulaca oleracea) that has done particularly well under the fruit trees this year. It is considered a weed in many countries, but being a Mediterranean plant, it has also been used as a culinary plant, and has been recognised as a medicinal herb for thousands of years. Purslane can be used in recipes as a replacement for spinach, but it can also be eaten raw as an addition to salads. Its nutrient value has been well researched to determine that it has good antioxidant properties, and is the best plant source for Omega-3, amongst other attributes. The best thing is that it has established itself under the fruit trees in a symbiotic relationship. The fruit trees being watered and giving shade helps

105

the Purslane that, in turn, provides ground cover for soil protection for the tree. Gardeners get both better fruit and a great source of abundant highly nutritious salad and soup greens with virtually no extra work. So with a more informal gardening style, and a little more research into plants that are normally just disregarded as weeds, it is found that many plants like Purslane provide an easy source of naturally occurring food.

Fleas are about ¼-inch long, are black/brown in colour, have no wings but do have long hind legs, which they use for jumping from one host to another. Fleas require a host - your cat

FLEAS: Treat all year round. or dog - in order to survive, as they live off of their blood. Fleas can be found all around the world, no matter the climate, however, they particularly like living in grass, which is where your pet will most likely be exposed to them. Outdoor prevention Because fleas burrow deep into the grass, as well as under branches, leaves and soil, just waiting for a host to latch onto, one of the most effective ways to prevent fleas from hopping onto your pet is to keep your lawn well groomed. It is also important to always rake the leaves - flea larvae don’t like light. Watering your lawn on a regular basis may also help keep fleas from residing in your lawn. Another line of defence is

topical medications, the best of which are available through your veterinarian. Cleaning Regular housecleaning, such as vacuuming weekly and regularly washing your pet’s bedding, will go a long way toward preventing fleas. Infestation control Your dog is uncontrollably scratching itself: to determine if the cause is in fact fleas, do a couple of things. Look under your dog’s fur for dark specks. Those black bits are flea dirt they are actually flea faeces. Pick them off the pet and place them onto a wet paper towel. If the specs morph into something that resembles a bloodstain, then your pet has fleas. Flea dirt is a lot easier to spot on lighter coloured pets. On darker coloured pets, comb through their fur with a flea comb. Now what? It is impossible to know how long the fleas have been living off your pet, so it is impossible to locate all the areas within the house where the fleas may be living. Not only do you have to treat your pet, but you also have to treat your entire house.

Mature dogs often prefer to stay at home WHILE many of us like to take our pets with us on holiday if we can, sometimes their routines are set and they are not so happy to abandon their preferred sofa at nap time. Moving elderly pets is a serious undertaking, especially if their eyesight is failing. It can be less stressful for you to leave them at home with an experienced house or pet-sitter. It means they are less anxious as they can stay at home in an environment they know and understand. If you are planning on 2-4 weeks of holidays a year, it

Follow the snail trail PROBABLY the most popular pets are cats, dogs or birds, but finding a family with a pet snail would most likely be quite rare. Snails are quiet, they don’t take up much space, they don’t need to be taken for a walk, and it does not cost a lot to feed and care for them. They can be kept in a special clear terrarium made of plastic or glass. A layer of soil is needed at the bottom of the container, approximately 4cm deep, so they can bury themselves in it and it is also where they lay their eggs. Rather than earth from the garden, it is recommended a special terrarium earth is used, which be bought from local pet stores, as garden soil may contain parasites. As snails do not like extreme temperatures, keep them protected from the cold and the heat. A terracotta pot on its side gives them a good place to hide if there is sun. These small creatures are hermaphrodites,

which means they have male and female reproductive organs at the same time. These molluscs are more active at night, when they feed and reproduce. They like to eat most green leaves, vegetables, carrot halves, beetroot, etc. At least once a week, the terrarium should be cleaned of all mucus and faeces, and any rotten food cleared away, as once decayed, it could be harmful to the snails

SNAILS: Can be kept in a terrarium.

Whoever designed the Ford Galaxy upholstery had a cauliflower fixation. I would rather have a vasectomy than buy a Ford Galaxy.” Some might say...

Motor motivation 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

123

€500 million from BMW since 2011. 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. BARGAIN: Save money and swap an old diesel for a new BMW.

Volvo vending BUYING a new car may soon be as simple as grabbing a Snickers from a vending machine. After the world’s first car-vending machine opened in Singapore, a Chinese megacompany has announced plans to follow suit. E-commerce giant Alibaba will build enormous vending machines up to 10 floors high which will hold dozens of cars. Buyers will be able to scan the selection on their smart phones, press the one they like, have all the details handy, and pay with a card. The firm are confident the idea will prove popular in China’s bustling cities, which are low on space and customer service, but have a booming professional class to satisfy. As yet there are no plans to roll out car vending machines in Europe.

Highway to hell Tunnel plan to fight pollution EFFORTS to combat traffic pollution may soon see motorways converted into tunnels built from a specially designed material that absorbs toxic fumes. The scheme has already been piloted in Holland, which has covered portions of the worstoffending roads with the pollution-absorbing structures. The British government has announced that it will invest more than €100 million in the technology, which soaks up nitrogen oxides, a major pollutant in south-east towns and cities. Pollution-absorbing tunnels would be just one weapon in the Highway Agency’s plans to combat air poor air quality, which kills tens of thousands of people each year. Trials are ongoing at several key junctions near Manchester, England, and the results, together with those from the Dutch study, will determine whether full-scale tunnels are built.

DEADLY: Innovative plans to combat pollution needed. The pilot programme features two types of canopies. One uses wooden panels over four metres high which wrap around the road to deflect pollution. The other features fences with the specialised polymer material absorbing NO2 fumes. The RAC, Britain’s largest roadside assistance outfit, has voiced doubts about the project. Spokesman Nick Lyes said that

if a substantial portion of the pollution is merely deflected from the tunnel surface, it may seriously threaten the health of drivers and passengers. “The solution should be about reducing levels of pollution by accelerating the transition to ultra-low and zero emission vehicles and encouraging better traffic flow through variable speed limits,” he argued.

Car thieves’ new trick THIEVES have developed a new car stealing trick. A device is used to capture and mimic the key fob signal, to open cars with even the best security systems, with the minimum of hassle. A British firm which monitors car thefts said that the 21st century thieves often operate in tandem to ensure success. One stands just outside a home with the device, close enough to pick up the key fob signal from inside. Once successful, the car is unlocked and their partner jumps inside and hotwires the engine within seconds. Thefts following this pattern have been reported in the UK, USA and Germany according to Tracker. The technique doesn’t only serve to steal cars, but also any valuables inside. Owners might not contact police for days until they’ve conducted a thorough search, likely to be mystified as to where the items have gone. In Germany, Tracker reports that BMWs, Volkswagens and Fords are the most frequent targets. But almost any model is vulnerable to the new technology, which can easily be picked up on the internet for less than €100. Thefts using this modus operandi are more likely to occur at night, and target motorists whose cars are parked close to their homes.
