Indian summer THE mercury is set to rise to 25°C across the Costa del Sol this weekend. The blast of heat will be most intense on Sunday, as temperatures soar 5 degrees above the normal seasonal high for November. It comes after an abnormally dry autumn so far, although the chilly weather is expected to return by Tuesday.
Murder charge A 64-YEAR-OLD ex-Legionnaire has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for killing a police officer on the Costa del Sol. The verdict comes after a short trial in which it emerged that the accused, named as Julian YL, suffers from bipolar syndrome. The incident occurred in Torremolinos, after Julian went to the home of the victim, a retired National Police Inspector, before a scuffle broke out on the doorstep. He then produced a 25-centimetre machete and stabbed the other man 16 times in full view of a neighbour who he instructed to “call the police,” before sitting down next to the dead body.

Did he know? Investigators demand fresh probe By Kat Ashton Prosecutors have demanded that a case which saw a pair of Colombian trespassers shot dead when they broke into an Alhaurin de la Torre farm be reopened. Just a year after Lucia Garrido was murdered in the pool of Finca Los Naranjos where she lived with her daughter, her ex-partner Manuel Alonso killed two men on the same plot of land. Alonso, who moved onto the farm after Lucia’s death, allegedly gunned the intruders down after they jumped a perimeter fence armed with weapons. The case was initially dismissed as he claimed that he acted in self-defence, but was reopened several years later when an alleged link to drug trafficking emerged. Police concluded that the Colombians had come to the farm with five or six others to retrieve a large amount of cocaine that was stashed there, which the

Officers claimed that the accused was aware of a potential attack on the property and placed himself in the best position to shoot them, before moving the drugs to another location. But the case was dismissed for a second time due to a lack of evidence. Detectives have now insisted on a new probe since he could not have acted in self-defence if he knew they were coming.
Investigators have revealed that the weapons had been strategically placed inside the farmhouse, as if the man was anticipating a raid. The accused is also said to have revealed there had been another attempted break-in at the property two days earlier, but failed to report it at the time. A police official said that the circumstances surrounding the death of Lucia Garrido a few months earlier also remain suspicious.

British conman arrested A BRITISH man alleged to be one of the most wanted conmen in Europe has been held by police on the Costa del Sol. The 53-year-old is believed to have been involved in a €4million tax fraud scheme in the UK. He had reportedly been using the alias Jean Paul Dalton, and is believed to be wanted Briton Paul Kemp. The fugitive is reported to have created several companies, which defrauded the British tax office out of €4.2 million between 2003 and 2008. Mr Kemp allegedly fled the UK to avoid prison and went into hiding under the names Jean Paul Dalton and Marcus Laine. Spanish police did not reveal the man’s name but confirmed he was born in Canterbury in 1964.

SPANISH FACTS OF LIFE...35 THE Camino de Santiago, also known as the Way of Saint James, has been one of the world’s most important religious pilgrimages for centuries, but its popularity has surged in recent years, writes Kat Ashton.
Holy moly! THE origin of the Camino de Santiago stretches back to the ninth century, when the tomb of Saint James the Great was discovered in Santiago de Compostela. Legend claims that the remains of the revered apostle were carried by boat from Jerusalem to be buried in the Galician capital. Since then, millions have flocked to pay their respect to the apostle in the city’s cathedral and many churches, monasteries and villages were built around the route. However, the popularity of the journey began to fade during the 14th century as a result of wars, disease epidemics and natural disasters. The route began to regain its appeal during the 19th century, but it wasn’t until the 1980s, when the Council of Europe declared the site the first European Cultural Route, that the pilgrimage began to surge in popularity once more.

STUNNING: The remains of Saint James the Great are believed to be buried in the Santiago de Compostela cathedral. Now people from across the globe flock to complete the Camino each year and nearly 300,000 pilgrims made it to Santiago de Compostela in 2016 alone. While some still make the journey for religious purposes, many just take the opportunity to test their endurance and explore the Galician countryside.

THERE are many different paths that pilgrims can take to reach Santiago, including routes that start in other European countries such as France and Germany. One of the most popular choices is the ‘French Way,’ which starts in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on the French side of the Pyrenees border and making its way through Pamplona, Logroño, Burgos and Leon before it reaches Santiago de Compostela. The route stretches for over 800km and takes around a month to complete. The true end of the Camino however actually lies at the Cabo Finisterre cape near the Galician fishing village Fisterra. True devotees tackle this extra 100km stretch from Santiago to worship in front of a sacred image of Christ and see the ‘World’s End.’ It has also become tradition for travellers to abandon their destroyed walking shoes here or burn them in fires.

OUR VIEW
Time to reflect AS hundreds of thousands get ready to consider the futility of war and to proudly wear their poppies on Remembrance Sunday, people are still dying around the world. Not every war is a formal declaration between two or more countries but in many ways, unofficial armed conflict is even worse as those taking part will often ignore what are known as the ‘rules of war’. There are no less than 44 recognised international armed conflicts where a minimum of 100 people were killed during the past 12 months and in a number of cases, such as Syria and Yemen, the conflicts are supported by foreign financial and military aid. Representatives of the American government have recently made it clear that the only way to get North Korea to change its ways is by a full invasion and the industry of war benefits the taxpayers and economies of America and most of the European Union. This ignores the atrocities that have been committed by Daesh on innocent civilians and which sadly can never be contained as a single madman driving a vehicle into a random crowd can never be contained. Sunday is a time to reflect on the past and the future and to hope that our leaders do what they can to protect as many innocent lives as possible.

Feline lucky Cat survives cruel ordeal OFFICERS from Spain’s Guardia Civil are investigating youths who flung a cat from a second floor window in Torre del Mar, Malaga, and filmed it. The police have identified the alleged abuser, aged 16, who already has a criminal record. Although the cat survived the 15-metre fall a video of the incident sparked outrage on social media. At the start of the recording, that was widely circulated on WhatsApp and other social networks, the 14-year-old recording it and a third youth can be heard asking the 16-year-old not to do it.
But, amid laughter, they then encourage him to fling the cat from the balcony of the second-floor apartment into the street below. Local Police from Velez-Malaga who visited the family home were told by an older brother of the alleged abuser that the cat “is alive and has not suffered physical damage.” Since the incident, believed to have been filmed on All Saints’ Day, the mother of the boy contacted the Guardia Civil to complain about the harassment her son has since suffered on social media.

Going to pot A MAN from Scotland who claims he was falsely accused of running a cannabis farm in La Linea de la Concepcion, near Gibraltar, has been left homeless after police seized his passport. Robbie Miller, aged 24, had left Scotland to find a job as a software engineer in Gibraltar and rented a room in a shared flat with a British biker. A few days later, officers raided the property in La Linea de la Concepcion and discovered six large cannabis plants weighing seven kilos. Robbie was held by police for 24 hours before the court seized his passport and released him on bail. The judge allegedly wasn’t interested in hear-
ing his evidence that allegedly proved that the cannabis plants, which he claims must have been growing long before he arrived in the country, were nothing to do with him. Robbie, originally from Hamilton in Scotland, has since been forced to sleep on a bench as he couldn’t book another place to stay without a passport. He told media sources that he wanted to return back to Scotland as soon as possible, but this has also proved impossible with no passport and limited funds. Mr Miller has hired a Spanish lawyer to represent him and hopes the judge will grant him an early hearing and dismiss the case as soon as possible.

ARGUABLY the best football manager that England never had, celebrated wheeler-dealer Harry Redknapp was guest of honour at a recent Costa del Sol charity evening. He kindly agreed to speak to the Euro Weekly News about his life in football and his commitment to support charity whenever he can. He and his wife Sandra used to keep a holiday property in Estepona which is how they first got to know Sandro Morelli, owner of the Villa Tiberio restaurant, and he was delighted to come over to support his friend in raising funds for Cudeca Hospice and the Red Cross. Unfortunately, Sandra was unable to accompany him on this lightning visit which saw Harry return to the UK on Monday as she has just had an operation to remove a disc from her spine. It was in the lap of the gods as to whether Harry would be able to come to Spain for the charity evening, but happily Sandra is now on the mend and he was able to make it. Harry Redknapp is a genuinely charming and cheerful man who has been an incredibly successful manager after retiring as a player in 1979 before going on to manage over 1,000 games. When asked whether he had one particular football success of which he was particularly proud, he explained “I have enjoyed all of my time in football. I took Bournemouth up from the fourth division, brought on a number of great international players whilst managing West Ham and had the pleasure of winning the

FA Cup against the odds at Portsmouth. “Then with Spurs I had a great time with some super players who are still doing well in the Premier Division.” When asked if he felt any bitterness about the way in which managers are treated and can be sacked almost at a moment’s notice, he was remarkably sanguine, “It’s something we know and understand and having been involved in more than 1,500 matches as a manager, I consider it to be part of the job.” At the age of 70, he doesn’t expect to return to high profile full time management although he does still give some advice to Yeovil Town and was for a short period of time the caretaker manager of the Jordan national team. In a recent interview conducted by this writer with currently injured Birmingham City goalkeeper, David Stockdale who was Harry’s first purchase for the ‘Blues,’ the footballer said that he had nothing but praise for his management style but accepted that this was the way that football worked nowadays and success was everything. Working occasionally with his son Mark, Harry is involved in building both social and commercial housing in the Dorset area and he is currently happy with his life in the exclusive area of Sandbanks (Poole) as he has little direct contact with those in the current world of football, preferring instead to enjoy life with Sandra and helping to raise funds for the Southampton-based charity Leukaemia Busters. Harry Redknapp is a charming and pleasant man who has enjoyed some 50 years in football and has achieved a great deal in his long career.

Jose Maria met 24-year-old Carlota while on the show and quickly declared his love for her on camera. Carlota was labelled ‘the toughest girl in Malaga Province’ by one Spanish media outlet as she claimed she once had to confront a violent customer with a knife while working at a nightclub in Marbella.
On the Inca trail
LANDMARK: A company from Malaga has been given the honour of building the new centre at Machu Picchu.
A MALAGA-BASED construction company has been hired to build the new administrative headquarters at the ancient city of Machu Picchu in Peru. The construction firm Guamar was awarded the €1 million contract by the Peruvian government’s Environment Department, after having previously been hired to complete €18 million worth of development projects in the country. The new building will have five floors and stretch across 1,800 metres. All the site’s administrative duties will be performed in the new centre, as well as those for the Manu Nation-
al Park which surrounds the tourist hotspot. The headquarters will also be built using the latest earthquake-resistant technology. Macchu Picchu is a 15th century Incan citadel built nearly 2,500 metres above sea level in the Andes Mountains in Peru. It has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1983 and was named one of the new Seven Wonders of the World in 2007. The new administration centre has a high symbolic value and Antolin Martin Rubio, the president of Guamar, said that they were proud to have been awarded the contract as it will be a “landmark project for the country.”

That’s a bit rich! Zara tycoon tops Forbes’ ranking AMANCIO ORTEGA has strengthened his position as the wealthiest person in Spain with a personal fortune in excess of €70 billion, according to the latest Forbes’ Rich List. It comes after the founder of Inditex fashion group - best known for its Zara chain of stores - briefly toppled Microsoft mogul Bill Gates to become the richest person on the planet in August this year. The 81-year-old tycoon’s assets are equivalent to the combined wealth of the 51 individuals who follow him in the annual Top 100 published by the Spanish edition of Forbes’ magazine. Second place on the 2017 list is occupied by Ortega’s daughter and heiress Sandra Ortega Mera who is estimated to be worth €6.5 billion, while third place is taken by Mercadona president Juan Roig with €4.8 billion.

The top 10 is completed by boss of hotel group Iberostar Miguel Fluxa (€3.6 billion), president of infrastructure giant Ferrovial Rafael del Pino (€2.9 billion), OHL construction chief Juan Miguel Villar Millar (€2.7 billion), Roig’s wife and Mercadona vicepresident Hortensia Herrero (€2.6 billion), casino magnate Manuel Lao (€2.4 billion), Mango founder Isak Andic (€2.3 billion), and security firm Prosegur head Helena Revoredo (€2.3 billion).
But the influence of the famously reclusive Ortega who has a 59 per cent stake in Inditex, the largest textile group in the world, plus a property empire managed via Pontegadea Real Estate - is such that if he is removed from the list the average net worth of the top 100 falls from €1.58 billion to €890 million.

The 82-year-old from Covelo, Pontevedra, named as Maria Dolores AB, was set upon by two French mastiffs owned by a neighbour as she returned home from mass. Horrified witnesses described how the animals bit her lower legs and scalp to the bone. She was reportedly dragged for 30 metres and her injuries were so serious that surgeons were forced to amputate both her legs below the knees. According to local media reports, the dogs had escaped from the garden of their owner’s home, with police now probing the incident after it emerged that residents had complained about them being loose on

‘We’re playing with democracy’ EX-CATALAN President Carles Puigdemont was released on bail in Belgium after the Spanish government issued a European arrest warrant in his name.

CAT-aluña? A CAFE-BAR in northern Spain has stirred up a debate after placing a sign in its window allowing pets, but banning Cataluña pro-independence supporters. The Tu Café bar in Gijon, Asturias, sparked outrage after hanging a sign in its window that said: ‘Pets are allowed... independence-seekers are not.’ A photograph of the poster has gone viral on social media. But a local resident, who asked not to be named said, “Personally, I think it’s a bit of fun and just a storm in a tea cup.” Others have taken to the internet to question how the bar ’s staff will be able to know if the pets themselves are supporters of independence for the embattled region or not.
Electricity bills surge ELECTRICITY charges in Spain have soared by 12 per cent this year compared to 2016. Bill payers have seen average prices rise up to €71.49 in October, a significant increase on September’s €66.76, according to official figures. Reduced output from hydroelectric plants due to low water levels has reportedly forced companies to revert to the more expensive coal and gas. Only 7.5 per cent of Spain’s energy has been generated by hydroelectric plants this year compared to 15 per cent in 2016. Companies have also raised their prices as part of their service adjustments which has brought in €511 million so far this year. Spain’s average bill is however lower than the UK’s, which is around €99.60 per month.

Catalan officials face up to 30 years in prison on charges of rebellion, embezzlement of public funds, sedition and disobedience. Eight members of the former parliament have already been jailed following a hearing in Madrid, which Puigdemont refused to attend.
Meanwhile, in an article he wrote for a British newspaper, Puigdemont pointed out how the “leaders of this democratic project face the severest punishment possible - the same as for cases of terrorism or murder. “The Spanish state must honour what was said so many times in the years of terrorism: end violence and we can talk,” he said. “We’re playing with much more than our futures: we’re playing with democracy itself.”

SIZZLING: Hooters is known for its fried food and scantily-clad staff.
What a hoot! US chain keeps abreast of Europe EYEPOPPING US chain Hooters has confirmed it is to open its first diner in Spain. The raunchy brand is famed for its chicken wings and beer served by young waitresses in revealing outfits, which have earned it the self-proclaimed ‘breastaurant’ moniker. And with more than 430 eateries in 28 countries, the first Spanish Hooters will soon open in Castelldefels, Barcelona, according to the
company’s Facebook page. Hooters has come under fire for objectifying women due to its compulsory barely-there orange-and-white uniform consisting of tiny shorts combined with a cleavage-enhancing vest top, while the logo features an owl with its eyes replaced by nipples. In the US, it has attracted further criticism for promotional events such as staff beauty pageants and calendars with
photos of girls in various states of undress, while female applicants are reportedly asked to reveal their measurements during the interview process. It comes as Director of Operations in Spain, Julio Arias, moved to dismiss claims that the restaurant was forced to seek an alternative to its original site in Viladecans after being slammed by feminist groups, insisting that the switch was due to ‘space issues.’

As Spanish stores join in BLACK FRIDAY AND CYBER MONDAY APPROACH THE concept of a special day of discounts goes back to 1932 when a number of US businesses realised that people were bored on the day after Thanksgiving. America stops for the Thanksgiving public holiday held on the fourth Thursday of November every year and the next day, almost by default, is taken as an extra holiday by millions of people. This year Black Friday falls on November 24 and American stores see this as the start of the Christmas season with many taking advantage of the discounts to commence their Christmas (and in many cases Hanukkah) gifts. For decades, this phenomena was kept the other side of the Atlantic but as more and more US corporations became involved in owning business in Europe, so the concept of Black Friday moved over and now it is yet another excuse for sales in the UK and more recently Spain. Amazon, the online giant started to trail their Black Friday deals at the beginning of November and also include a deal of the day in the run up to that Friday, although they have in the past launched Black Friday a week earlier and run their offers for two weeks! Retailers ensure that there are a number of bargains in store but in previous years there has been chaos as consumers arrive hours in advance of opening and push and fight in order to grab the relatively small number of real bargains available. Someone is always ready to dream up a bright alternative and now we also have Cyber Monday where other companies offer their goods at discount online with the downside being your computer

might crash but you won’t be crushed. Spain has come a little late to the party, but major chains and even some local stores are likely to participate although they tend to simply offer percentage discounts on items of clothing and electrical goods rather than making significant cuts on individual pieces seen in other countries.
OFFSHORE TAX HAVENS ARE BACK IN THE NEWS
Paradise Papers hacked THE hacking of a law firm based in an offshore tax haven, this time Bermuda, has highlighted the amount of wealth now estimated at €10 trillion lodged secretly around the world. Even a 91-year-old woman and her 96-year-old husband are caught up in this investigation although a spokesperson for HM Queen Elizabeth II has made it clear the investment of £10 million (€11.25 million) in Bermuda and Cayman Islands is quite legal. The United Kingdom is very much involved in these latest revelations as the law firm Appleby which is reported as being hacked is based in the Isle of Man with offices in the British Virgin Islands, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands, all British Overseas Territories and all with UK appointed Governors. Britain’s involvement with offshore tax havens has been long and for many years has attracted adverse reviews from countries such as the USA with stricter control only taking place recently. When added to the fact that many British lawyers and fund managers are

heavily involved in advising clients as to legal means of avoiding tax, Britain is certainly far from innocent in its overseeing of the activities of its Caribbean Territories in particular. It isn’t just the Queen who has taken advantage of the situation according to the latest revelations following the Appleby hack in what is now being called the ‘Paradise Papers.’ It is suggested that the major shareholders in Arsenal and Everton, who have both worked together whilst making their money in Russia not only have investments offshore via Appleby but may also be sailing close to the wind with regards to rules concerning ownership of more than one Premier League club. Others said to be involved include a close aid of Canadian Prime Min-
ister Trudeau who has campaigned against tax havens as well as American billionaire and recently appointed US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross who for years advised Donald Trump with many more names yet to be revealed. The latest accusation is that the former mayor of Barcelona and current spokesman of the PDeCAT - which supports Catalan Independence Xavier Trias Vidal de Llobatera has been a beneficiary of a family trust which had money in Switzerland for decades although he denies knowing about it. The politicians in the Territories involved take the view that it is not their duty to collect tax on behalf of other larger countries and they are doing what they can to ensure the financial well-being of their fellow countrymen by keeping taxes to a minimum. Following the major coverage of the previous ‘Panama Papers’ which resulted in many political resignations around the world, this latest scandal looks set to run and run.
Santander to reduce staff B A N C O S A N TA N D E R i s going to employ an independent company to advise it on how best to handle the staff it has inherited following the takeover of Banco Popular. It has already confirmed that it intends to make redundancies in both bank’s workforces and envisages the loss of several hundred positions over the next 12 months. Having already closed 300 of the Popular branches and disposing of more than 2 , 5 0 0 s t a ff s o o n a f t e r t h e takeover it now wants to try to integrate a number of the remaining inherited staff into its existing operation. Santander now employs more than 200,000 staff in its combined Spanish and International branches which is a slight reduction in the workforce during 2017.
Government to review mortgage laws WORK on legislation to bring Spanish mortgage rules in line with European Union directives is about to be undertaken which will give consumers greater protection. It is expected that draft regulations will ensure that banks will be unable to evict homeowners who are in default on their loans as easily as they can currently and that there will be limits as to the percentage of default that has to be reached before action can be taken. In addition, it is intended that companies will be prohibited from setting targets for those staff selling mortgages, as targets with commissions can sometimes encourage canvassers to allow those who can’t afford repayments to be accepted.

QUALITY PRODUCE: The new Market Bulevar store.

Carrefour still continues growth FRENCH supermarket group Carrefour continues to grow in Spain and is about to open its sixth store to remain open 24 hours a day. Whilst the company has been opening superstores in suburbs of main towns and cities and even ‘cash and carry’ outlets Supeco, it is also looking to expand its gourmet Market outlets in affluent areas throughout Spain. The new Carrefour Market Boulevar is described by the company as “one of the best supermarkets in Madrid” and is stocked with quality produce
of the type that might be found in specialist departments in Harrods or Selfridges. With 12,000 products ranging from fresh fish to sushi, quality cheeses and meats and a f r e s h b a k e r y, t h e M a r k e t even includes dedicated eateries, as well as a fine wine cellar. Supermarkets generate huge amounts of income for their shareholders and have to be increasingly more innovative and focused on target groups in order to ensure that they maintain and increase their market share.
American agency expects house prices to rise in Spain COINCIDING with the decision by the government to change mortgage regulations, an American credit rating agency is forecasting a surge in Spanish house prices. One of the three main agencies, Moody’s has reviewed pricing and building in various European countries and whilst Spain is not at the top of the league, it believes that prices will rise on average by 8.6 per cent over the next three years. The main jump is expected to be in 2018 at almost 6 per cent and will then slow down for the following two years. The main drivers of the price rise are low interest rates, a stronger economy and a larger number of
younger workers managing to find and retain employment according to the review. Britain and Germany are the two leaders in growth of prices as well as new building, but Spain is certainly due to see some price hikes especially as there are likely to be more new buyers than new properties being built. Prior to the crash, the construction industry was awash with cash and new builds were springing up a l l o v e r t h e c o u n t r y, b u t m a n y o f these developments were never completed and although there is some sporadic new building, many buyers are having to look at older property.

I’ve never had much respect for politicians LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT BACK in the 60’s I saw a number of the ‘Old Boys’ club members with their trousers down, both metaphorically and in reality. Well I remember a prominent London MP rushing up to me at a party. Clad in a string vest and very questionable Y-fronts, he implored me to “take over upstairs.” Apparently, the ‘blonde’ nymphomaniac he was endeavouring to satisfy had become too much for him. I didn’t accept his offer I may add! Another told me he thought smoking marihuana was ‘such fun!’ No, I’m afraid politicians in general have never impressed me much. There is one overriding problem with the elder male occupants of the Westminster power corridors. The majority went to public school. Students from these male-dominated institutions never really learned to mix with the female of the species. Their only experiences with the opposite sex were annual school dances and overbearing Nannies. This, accompanied by the odd grope of the slightly more promiscuous young ladies from the local St Trinians, left women reduced to nothing more than subjects of locker room
PUBLIC SCHOOL POLITICIANS: Becoming dinosaurs? humour and ribald banter in the dorms. The outcome of this attitude, resulted in the total absence of respect for those of a gender, they considered not only mere objects of sexual titilation, but also intellectually inferior and subsequently had no important standing in the
male-dominated corridors of their future political ambitions. Many of these elder statesmen on the benches fall into this category, and still consider Westminster nothing more than an extension of their public school education and
debating societies. As attitudes change, and more and more women are elected into the house, these ex-public schoolboys are slowly becoming the dinosaurs of the political arena. Frankly, apart from serious offences, racking up ancient knee brushings and somewhat innocuous schoolboy’s sexist innuendoes, is a complete waste of time and energy. Time to get back to more serious issues, like running the country for example! Thank the Lord the Labour Party are also up to their proverbials, or else they would be using it as yet another weapon in their armoury of schemes and skulduggery to keep the government on the back foot till the next General Election! Picked up a lovely piece of terminology this week; non-erotic cognitive distraction. This is the condition of ladies having their moment of intense sexual arousal being spoiled by suddenly remembering they’d missed a pedicure appointment, or something of that ilk. Apparently sufferers of this unfortunate ‘malady’ are encouraged to ‘stay in the moment.’ Stay with me luv, it’ll only take a moment! Keep the faith, columnists@euroweeklynews.com

Remembrance Day at the Cenotaph. By John Smith THERE are two specific dates associated with the end of the First World War, one of which is permanent and the other changes each year. People all across Britain will observe a two minute silence at 11am this Saturday (the 11th hour o f t h e 11 t h d a y o f t h e 11 t h month), which is the time and date when hostilities formally ended after more than four years of battle during what is now re-
In memory of those who laid down their lives membered as The Great War. The nearest Sunday to November 11 is chosen as Remembrance Day where people gather together to remember and mourn the dead
Behind the poppy IN the spring of 1915, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, a Canadian doctor who had just lost a friend during the First World War (1914-1918), was inspired to write the poem ‘In Flanders Fields’ after seeing poppies growing in battle-scarred fields where little else would grow. The poem inspired Moina Michael, an American academic, to make and sell artificial red poppies which were later introduced in the UK by a French woman, Anna Guerin. In 1921, The Royal British Legion ordered nine million of the poppies and sold them on November 11 to commemorate the end of the Great War. The first year alone, the poppies raised £106,000, a staggering amount of money in those days, which was used to help First World War veterans. Nowadays poppies are mostly sold in the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand to pay tribute to servicemen and women killed in conflict. The poppy is traditionally red to reflect the colour of field poppies and is considered a symbol of remembrance and hope.
in all wars, although in Britain and here in Spain, more emphasis is given to those who died during the 20th and 21st centuries. In London, next Sunday will see
the usual massive ceremony at the Cenotaph which will be attended by members of the Royal Family, representatives of the Commonwealth and Overseas Territories,
Royal British Legion’s Remembrance Sunday By Benjamin Park THE Royal British Legion (RBL) continues to provide a la rg e numbe r of s e rvic e s across Spain year after year. A he a d of this R e me mbrance Day, we spoke to a few members of RBL branches around the country about what the occasion means to them and how they will be spending the day. Jo Taylor, Chairman of the RBL Coin branch, first set-up th e bra nc h in 2006 ha ving previously been a member of two other branches in Spain. She spoke of how her b ranc h c hoos e s to honour loved ones on November 11. “ O n R e me mbra nc e D a y,
we provide a bell service,” she said. “People who attend speak of loved ones they have lost and it’s not just in the First World War, we have people who speak about loved ones they have lost in Iraq, Afghanistan and other wars too. “After people have told me of their loved ones, I read a piece about them and we hold a short moment of silence. We try to ke e p the s e rvic e both public, but private at the same time.” Steve Taylor, who served in the Royal Air Force, was first a member of the RBL in Oxfordshire but transferred his membership to Mollina
when he moved to Spain 10 years ago, where he is now Chairman. He said: “I have attended many Remembrance Day services in and out of uniform both in the the UK and many overseas locations. “I t i s not onl y about t he First World War but every loss of life up to today.” Dave Punshon, a member of the Mollina branch, said: “Though I never served in the armed forces, my father was a standard bearer and founder member of the legion club in my home town. “As he died when I was 22, Remembrance Day is a time of reflection on two counts.”
politicians, veterans of various conflicts and serving military together with a huge audience of onlookers. Due to their advanced age, the Queen and Prince Philip will play a reduced role in the laying of wreaths as they cannot be expected to spend hours standing around in what is invariably a chilly morning. As well as the main service in London, the laying of wreaths takes place all over the UK as well as the Commonwealth and there will also be many parades embracing ex-servicemen now settled in Spain plus the usual services in Gibraltar. Poppies are worn as a symbol of respect and tribute on Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day and funds raised from their sale go towards assisting ex-servicemen through the Royal British Legion. The original concept of the wearing of poppies in remembrance - which was inspired by a Canadian military officer and poet who wrote ‘In Flanders Fields’ actually came from America and was adopted by the American Legion before the concept came to the UK in 1921 from France.

Pedal power E-BIKE batteries work hard, so they’re expensive. And they’re heavy. Postmen where I live use a €500 e-bike with a monstrous lead-acid battery; not the way for the rest of us to go. Most bikes use lithium-ion batteries, which recharge for just a few cents overnight and will take you 30 kilometres or more depending on your own pedal-power and hills. E-bikes don’t (yet) generally recharge downhill. For mega-trips you might even consider carrying a second battery - but beware of that extra weight. How often you can recharge your expensive battery depends on how you treat it. Like any lithium-ion, it dislikes total discharges. So treat it well with plenty of shallow charging and discharging and I can’t resist saying it, you’ll get hundreds of cycles.

TECH FOR THE TIMID
On yer bike with a battery boost In an era of batteries with everything, Terence Kennedy asks if tiny motors can get us back on two wheels. WE all know Holland is as flat as the proverbial tortita. Indeed, my Dutch wife’s home town even advertises its 80-metre ‘mountain.’ So it’s all the more surprising then in a country where cycling is so embedded, that last year for the very first time, the ‘flat-earth’ Dutch bought more e-bikes than those conventional clunkers. Electrically-assisted bicycles, to give them their full name, are conquering the market at nearly 10 per cent growth a year, say the experts. Annual European sales have hit more than a million now and rising, and the world’s main e-bike producer China already has some 220 million on its roads. So when you ‘get on yer bike’ these days, should it be battery-assisted? Granted there’s a fairly hefty
entry price: perhaps €700 for a modest machine, over €3,000 for one which could qualify you for the Tour de France if you don’t get rumbled. (In fact a French competition cyclist did just get caught using a hidden electric motor. He apparently did it ‘to ease his sciatica.’ Yeah, right). E-bikes come in two flavours, essentially those which make you work (cheaper) and those which don’t (time for a second mortgage). The most popular are the ‘pedalassisted,’ where you have to keep pumping or you’ll grind to a halt. Depending on your budget and how hard you work, your battery may take you between 30 and 100 kilometres or more of actual powered cycling. Just don’t expect a ‘free
DUTCH COURAGE: A 1933 Junkers e-bike from Holland. ride’ when you hit a hill; getting up it is a shared endeavour between you and your battery. Simple e-bikes have three boost settings (one, two and ‘wheeeee!’), and of course the usual traditional gears, from three to 21. E-assistance from the motor (usually in the front wheel hub) cuts out past 25 km/h to avoid over-enthusiastic riders becoming strawberry jam at the bottom of a hill. Fancier e-bikes have regenerative braking, a hand-throttle, can fold or for the true road warrior, can even pull a trailer full of batteries. As with electric cars, some governments now subsidise e-bikes as
Pestminster crackdown or hysterical witch hunt? Nora Johnson

THERESA MAY ‘begged for help’ and the UK press has been inundated with tales of sexual shenanigans in Hollywood and Westminster. First up, Hollywood. That people are no longer willing to accept disgraceful, predatory, controlling behaviour is welcome news and long overdue. Yet it seems that any accusation is immediately taken at face value. The guilt of the accused is automatically taken for granted, and mob justice prevails. But shouldn’t we be careful as a society? Historically, creative people often weren’t very moral or very nice. Caravaggio, the painter, killed a love rival. Richard Wagner: an anti-Semite and serial adulterer. Byron: sexually very exploitative, apparently. If we reject the creative work of these people, aren’t we depriving ourselves of something valuable? Kevin Spacey is generally considered a fine actor. But should his career be destroyed over alleged incidents way back while maybe drunk? At the time of writ-

Many of our own outstanding actors in the past led lives that were often controversial. If we’re only prepared to accept the artistic creations of sexually well-adjusted, blameless individuals then our films, novels and other creative works could become quite bland too.
As for Westminster, MPs warn of “wild rumours” fuelling a witch hunt worse than the expenses scandal. And following that scandal, who wanted to become an MP? As a group, they’re despised, distrusted and discredited. Now only a few public-spirited individuals, the ambitious with sufficient outside income, and an army of incompetents fill the benches. Is it surprising our Brexit performance’s been so pathetic? Whilst in no way condoning sexual harassment by politicians of young aides and others fearful for their careers, it seems to me the few decent MPs left will be subject to another witch hunt. And there can’t be many people without some incident in their past they’d rather forget! After this lot of ‘sinners’ has been hounded out, who’ll be left to deal with the single-most important challenge facing the UK in recent times?

part of their ‘greening’ policies. So should you boost your pedalpower? As many of us know the European mainland is generally more bike-friendly than, say, the UK where unseating cyclists can be a national sport. Our climate is conducive, that initial ‘whoosh’ as you pull away from cyclists on their prehistoric bikes is gleeful, and there’s nothing to rival the wind in your hair and the insects in your mouth. And simply as physical exercise, it’s certainly a lot better than my previous regime: first-thing every morning up-down-up-down-updown, then open the other eyelid…
THURSDAY THOUGHTS By Graham Braben, Albox
Forgotten your password? I’M sure you know what I mean. That moment, no that dreaded moment, at the supermarket checkout, when you’ve put the password for your card into that hand held device, only for it to display everybody’s nightmare phrase - password incorrect. You chance a guilty look behind and see the queue of shoppers, trolleys twitching with intent, growing by the second and all staring angrily at you, daring you to get it wrong for a second time. What a nightmare passwords are. James Bond never seems to have a problem remembering or cracking them. He sees something once and that’s it, he remembers it forever, well at least until the end of the two-hour film. Yesterday I had a little time to spare and got to wondering, as you do, how passwords first came about? Unbelievably they’ve been around for a long time, there’s one at the start of Shakespeare’s well-known play about that Danish Prince, Hamlet. But it seems that the real culprits were those Ancient Egyptians. Apparently, they had to give a password for getting into certain important places, having to negotiate their way past guards with seriously pointy spears. When it comes to passwords, I thought that I was being clever by keeping them simple - 12345 or even, brilliantly I thought, password - but they are the most popular passwords of all. But, what if we all change our passwords to ‘Incorrect’ then when we forget them, the machine will simply remind us! Crack that code if you can James Bond! columnists@euroweeklynews.com Readers interested in submitting articles for this guest column should send articles of around 250 words on topics felt to be of interest to the cosmopolitan EWN readership to editorial@euroweeklynews.com.

TV Couch Critic TELEVISION highlights don’t come much bigger than The Blue Planet 2, (BBC One, Sundays). Laid back, knowledgeable and understated, David Attenborough delivers a feast of educational beauty that is inspiring, humbling and certainly never dull. Dolphins that surf ‘for the fun of it’ and giant trevallies that leap from the sea to snatch birds mid-flight, some scenes are reminiscent of the racer snake in last year’s Planet Earth II offering. One that got away got a cheer in our household. The distressing sight of walrus and their young crammed together on what’s left of the icebergs and others desperately trying to find a piece of ice to rest on was sobering, given the Arctic has lost 40 per cent of its ice in the last 30 years. It’s a hope that the powers-that-be find a way out of the world’s complacency in order to take action before it is too late. This truly is one not to be missed. The Great British Bake Off (Channel 4, Tuesday) appeared to have survived the controversial
Attenborough serves up a not-to-miss blue treat! quarter final eviction of ‘fans’ favourite’ Liam Charles, as well as Noel Fielding’s fridge gag, but the grand final was still bestowed with one last gaff. The more dedicated Bake Off fans may well have been alert to Prue Leith’s error in tweeting the winner 10 hours before the programme was screened, citing her lack of time-zone knowledge as she was in Bhutan at the time. The tweet was quickly deleted and despite this final faux pas Bake Off appears to have completed the move from the BBC without too much trouble with viewing figures up.

army base abroad on The Last Post (Sunday BBC One), but the reality I recall is very different to the programme written by Peter Moffat and based on his own childhood memories. Set in 1965 on a British military base in Aden, a port city in southern Yemen, it has lots of weekly drama with kidnappings and killings galore. I cannot decide whether to feel sorry for Ed’s wife Alison, played wonderfully by Jessica Raine (the slutty one) who is constantly drunk whatever time of day. However, she makes me laugh with her complete disregard for social niceties with the other wives and constantly tries to lead astray newcomer Honor, the new captain’s wife (the naïve, innocent one) played by Jessie Buckley. Charming overall in its old fashioned manner, it provides a view of how army life affects the wives as the military police try to reconcile the British Empire with the rise of the Swinging Sixties. It will actually be 50 years on November 30 since Britain withdrew from Aden, the former Crown Colony. Critique: SC, Torrevieja, Costa Blanca

LEGALLY SPEAKING Cyclists - know the law 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.
CYCLISTS: Must abide by rules of the road. IT is probably safe to say that all road users have witnessed a bicycle rider going through a red light or riding on the pavement, a practice that many find frustrating, but always one that raises the same question, are cyclists allowed to do such things? The simple answer is NO. In terms of law, once a bicycle is being ridden it is classed as a vehicle and therefore covered by the same rules and laws as a car, a lorry, a bus, in fact any other vehicle on the road. It is only when the rider dismounts and walks with the bicycle is it considered otherwise. In this instance, the situation means that the person has become a pedestrian. That is the same reason why cyclists cannot ride across zebra crossings, because we wouldn’t expect a lorry to do that, and the rider must dismount before they do. Listening to music using headphones or using a mobile phone when riding a bike are prohibited in the same way as they are for other vehicles. Consuming more than the prescribed limit of alcohol or using drugs is also not allowed, as a cyclist you are governed by the
rules of the road. Just so you know what you are risking, let’s have a look at some of the most common infractions. Not having a bell on your bicycle - 80€ Faulty or no brakes - 80€ Carrying an extra person on the bicycle 80€ Failing to stop at a traffic light - 200€ Failing to give way at a junction - 200€ Not having lights - 200€ Having too many lights - 200€ Failing to wear high visibility clothing between sunset and sunrise and in poor visibility -200€ Riding under the influence of alcohol 500€ There are many other laws and infractions commonly committed by cyclists, as well as other road users of course. We will look at these in more detail in future editions, but for now, take note, you can indeed be fined on your bike and remember that one golden rule, when you are riding your bike, it is a vehicle and governed by the same rules and laws as every other vehicle.
For more news and articles visit www.n332.es or search N332 on Facebook.
Can I get my 3 per cent back? I sold my property in January for €42,000 and my solicitor held back 3 per cent of the selling price, which came to €1,260. I came back out this month and I asked her about it. She said, if I want that back, the Tax Office will ask for the other €900. Is this correct? I have paid my Form 210 taxes. M C (Costa del Sol) WHEN a non-resident sells her property in Spain, she must pay Spanish capital gains tax of 19 per cent on the profit she has made. Your buyer filed Form 211 and paid 3 per cent of the price to the Spanish Tax Agency as a guarantee
David Searl You and the Law in Spain
against your capital gains tax. That is the €1,260. If you had no profit, you can claim this back from the Tax Agency.
However, it seems you have made a profit and your lawyer has calculated your capital gains tax at €2,160. So, if you try to recover your 3 per cent deposit, you will be charged a further €900 which, apparently, is what you actually owe.
Send your questions for David Searl through lawyers Ubeda-Retana & Associates in Fuengirola at Ask@lawtaxspain.com, or call 952 667 090.

A kiss is sexual assault? Oh please SIR, I read Leapy Lee’s recent article in EWN issue 1687 and absolutely agree. This whole debacle has my eyebrows climbing my forehead and jaw dropping to my chest. Tried to kiss me, says one, hand on knee, says another. Please don’t think I’m unsympathetic to reports of serious sexual assault, I’m not. However, claims of hugs, elbow holding, kiss on cheek will eventually have the knock on effect of stopping any physical contact between the sexes and mankind will resort to laboratories to procreate! The march of feminism is being dealt a serious blow. People in positions of power who use their position to threaten or persuade minions for sexual favours are not the type of person we need to govern the country. The whole Weinstein affair has opened floodgates. But what in the name of God were these girls thinking? Going to hotel rooms for auditions or work? Surely they’re not that naive? Just look at the man! How else would

No home comforts I HAVE for some years been paying €400 to €500 a month to rent a property in Spain. Rather than waste money like this, I would rather buy a cheap property that I can own. But I am now over 65 and as far as any Spanish lenders are concerned, I am one step from death so not worth lending to. I live on my own. As well as a British state pension, I have a company pension, but it is difficult to save when I have to pay rent every month.

Passengers held on return to UK WHAT happened to freedom of movement within the EU????, should have just opened the exit door!!! Julio This is what was voted for, stronger border controls, and until they have checked you through, legally you’re not on British soil! They can refuse anyone from entry at this point, and send you back from whence you came. George R Carman
Brits wreck Benidorm hotel room They should lock them up in Spanish prison for five years and ban them from ever returning to Spain again! They are an embarrassment to the British people! Disgusting cretins! Julie Jones Peel Bet they don’t behave like this in Russian hotels next year during the World Cup a week in a Russian prison and they will be crying for the British Embassy. Michael Hearne They ought to have their passports confiscated, they are an embarrassment to decent people. We had a couple like this in our lovely hotel in Kefalos in July. Kenneth Bartram What a bunch of pathetic, childish, mentally deranged idiots! They should be locked up and made to pay every penny it costs to repair that room.

At least 27 dead in church shooting in America When oh when are the American people going to wake up. Tell the President to start protecting the population by legislation.

Teens throw cat from second-floor window Seems as if the mother is as bad as the son. If my son had done that he would have gotten a good hiding from me. Gerrie Lewis
And the mother is upset that her little brat kid is being harassed on social media! He deserves a lot more than that! how about some punishment being handed out by the Guardia! Christine van Baten I hope the people who did this get their just desserts. These people should be fined heavily and also put into prison. Carol Patricia Nichols
Arrest warrant issued for sacked Catalan leader Just proves want to be dictators, can’t just take over without agreement of the country the people or an election, Spain was only looking after all of its citizens, He was only interested in himself. Viva España. Robert B Johnston It was a coup d’etat by avaricious elected individuals to try to remove one of Spain’s most profitable areas. Cataluña is responsible for 20 per cent of Spain’s GDP... the riches that abound in this area were funded by all of Spain not just from this area and built up over many generations... it was a money and power grab that could cost the perpetrators their liberty for a very long time... they deserve what they get for fooling the people into believing that they were acting in the interest of Cataluña... they are servants of the state of Spain. Mike Aucott
I THINK of you! Wearing your suit of blue So proud, so debonair, so strong My heart would beat with so much pride If then I had you by my side But alas! The years have come between The tears they flow, for what might have been But think of tomorrow, not of the past, Just remember, a love, that will always last. Maggie, Albir
Free country? I AM very concerned about the situation in Cataluña. How on earth was an illegal referendum allowed to happen? If Spain is so set on it remaining part of the country, why were they allowed to have their own police force plus TV and radio stations in their own language in the first place? Why should they not be allowed to form their own little country - I just feel so sorry for them! Wendy Chisholm, Arroyo Medina, Almeria
Bright idea WITH all the facilities on the Costa del Sol’s beaches, including gymnasiums, massage beds and showers, isn’t it time councils started to install changing rooms as well? There would only need to be three or four near the showers, with gaps at the top and bottom to prevent any funny business! Name withheld, Fuengirola
Get a grip SORRY Viv Forbe (Letters 1687), but we very much should be afraid of human-led global warming, which is a scientifically-proven FACT! And especially here in Spain, where we are running out of water at an alarming rate. Try reading some scientific reports on the issue rather than Fox News or whatever and maybe your opinion will change! Anthony Purvis, Mallorca

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)
There is so much that has come to light in the past few weeks. It is no wonder that your mind is reeling. All will become clear in the weeks ahead and this cannot be rushed. However, there is a need to look after your health and get out in the fresh air. Any thought of joining a walking club or health group should be pursued.
Be your charming self this week without pushing too much. A natural approach when you are seeking a response is the best course of action. Simply being in the right place and under someone's gaze is all that is required. Are you getting itchy because an offer is not forthcoming? Well, if you absolutely must, then get a little bird to whisper in their ear.

A pleasant surprise makes you a little more optimistic midweek. It is possible for you to take on negativity too quickly. The next time something does not go according to plan, hold fire. It is amazing what a little time and distance will solve.

When Simon disappears, Laura feels the presence of other people in the house and tries to unravel the mystery. • Pan’s Labyrinth (2006) Set in the falangist Spain of 1944, a

Make a point of putting on a happy face and your mood will stay high. There is still some more to be done to improve your social life and a recent offer of charity work may be just the thing. Avoid restricting the sort of folk who you are willing to mix with. Cultural differences apart, it is quite an eye-opener to find out how others live and think.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Being considerably more relaxed about those things which cannot be changed has taken a weight from your shoulders. It is also easier to understand why others have taken this approach in the past. There is, however, a balance to be found. Don't be put off by people who have become sloppy in their approach because this is not going to affect you.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) It is clear that you really love your hearth and home but, every now and again, there is a small voice calling. The good things in life appeal and, to have these, an effort is involved. Do not underestimate the amount of pleasure that you will enjoy when putting in that extra effort. It does, after all, involve other people. Some of those people prove to be quite fascinating.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Having put in extra effort to bring a zing into your life, it is important that you keep the impetus going. This is not only good for your health and wealth, but also your mind. Although trying something new brings a few odd remarks your way, try not to be sidetracked.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) There is still a strong accent on family matters and getting things sorted out. The way ahead is clear. If you are able to persuade someone that an idea was theirs and not yours, so much the better. Being in a practical mood serves you well because it is possible to get a lot done in the next few days. The weekend, however, is another matter.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your mind is still sharp this week and there are many questions that you would like answered. Doing a bit of research proves fruitful and also quite amusing. A recent contact may not come up with the proposition hoped for, but realise that it is still early days.

By Sally Underwood SKIN is fascinating. The body’s largest organ, skin generates itself every 28 days, constantly renewing to keep our bodies protected from external aggressors like bacteria and UV rays. Its many layers also help regulate body temperature, maintain the b o d y ’s b a l a n c e o f flu id s , sense pain and absorb the impact of any knocks or hits. And while the skin on our bodies is thick and largely takes care of itself, the skin on our faces is much thinner than elsewhere on our bodies, around a fifth of the thickness of that on our arms, legs and chests. It also contains far more sebaceous glands - the glands which produce oil - meaning the skin on our face is oilier than elsewhere, but conversely can become dry because of its thinness.

face to achieve their desired look. For those suffering from blemishes on their nose but a shiny forehead and dry, dull cheeks, for example, this approach could work, offering a solution to each of the problems. If you do want to give it a go, it is probably a safe bet to go for something purifying for any oil areas, a hydrating mask for any dry areas and one for radiance for any dull parts of your face. Put them on the relevant sections of your face and leave them on no longer than each of their recommended times. The result could be healthy, glowing skin, although it could be an expensive habit!
what skin type you have is the first step in choosing the right products and getting the results you want.
With a huge range of skincare products on the market it can be a baffling choice in the pharmacy or supermarket, with many of us simply picking up the same thing over and over agai n wi t hout thinking about it too much. If you aren’t getting the results you want t hough, i t m ay be worth considering whether you are using the right products for your skin. Below is a guide to knowing what type of skin you have. There are four main skin types. Dry skin produces less oil and will have an overall rough and dull appearance, while oily skin offers the reverse problem with a greasy shine and visible pores. Combination skin will present dry patches on the cheeks with oily areas around the nose and forehead and normal skin will have fine pores and be neither too oily or dry.

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. When do a baby’s teeth start to grow? A child’s teeth usually start to grow within the first few months however this can vary greatly. Some babies will start to teeth when they are three to four-months-old whereas some don’t start until after they turn one. What are the symptoms of teething? The main sign that your baby has started teething is when they want to constantly chew on something as their gums are irritated. Their gums will also be noticeably inflamed and they will drool a lot. Your child may also be irritable and in some cases also have a fever.
Are there ways to reduce the pain? In general a baby will feel better when they have something to chew, you can purchase a teething ring which you can put in the fridge before giving it to your child which can also help soothe the pain. If it’s not enough you can also use analgesics or anti-inflammatories such as paracetamol and ibuprofen. When should you seek medical help? Usually it is not necessary to go see a paediatrician unless the baby is extremely irritated or has a high fever as these could be signs of other problems.

HEALTH & BEAUTY I AM privileged to work with an amazing audiologist, Peter Ormrod, who is also a tinnitus specialist. What is tinnitus? Ti n n i t u s i s w h e n y o u can hear a sound that doesn’t have an outside source. The perception of this sound varies, some describe a high-pitched whistle, others a buzzing, or even the sound of the sea. While many of us may be temporarily affected by mild tinnitus, chronic tinnitus affects about one in 200 people. Causes of tinnitus Now this is where it got interesting for Peter and myself - looking at the causes of tinnitus. While there are a number of complicated factors one of the big ones is trauma: head injuries, whiplash, falls etc. And this is where there is a huge overlap in our areas of expertise.

Effective tinnitus treatment By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com ly programmed hearing aids Peter can alleviate tinnitus in 82 per cent of his sufferers. BUT if tinnitus is caused by trauma to the head, neck and shoulders, or referred trauma through the arms and wrists... this is where I come in! When I’ve spoken about chronic pain and migraines I’ve talked about the way every single nerve in your body runs through your neck. Including the nerve running from your
ears into your brain. Bizarre, right? You’d think it would go straight in but it doesn’t! It goes via the neck just like everything else.
Tinnitus is when you can hear a sound that doesn’t have an outside source.
So, if the neck is compromised then this auditory nerve can become compromised too. And if the nerve is compromised then what we
have, in effect, is like a bad telephone line with static on it. Tinnitus and chronic pain New research suggests that both tinnitus and chronic pain are controlled by the same area in the brain - that part of the problem is in how the brain process these experiences and the sensory stimuli. Ti n n i t u s a n d c h r o n i c pain can occur when this system is compromised. So, Peter and I often work together to help tinnitus sufferers - I treat their neck to help reduce the ‘static’ on the nerve while Peter works on the symptom to reduce the interference.

Eating your greens WE are constantly bombarded with advice about health, receiving contradictory advice almost every week about what we should and shouldn’t be eating. While experts seem to go backwards and forwards on the health of red meat and dairy, there is at least one thing everyone seems to agree on; fruit and vegetables. While many of us now take a daily multivitamin to supplement our diet, it is possible to consume all your vitamins with a just a few crops. Vitamin B6 keeps your immune and nerve systems functioning properly. One banana a day is all it takes to get your recommended daily allowance. Vitamin C can boost ‘good’ cholesterol levels, help protect against damaging free radicals and promote a good immune system. Just one large orange a day provides all your vitamin C needs and tastes good too!
Calcium, which helps keep our teeth and bones strong particularly important for women after the menopause is found in abundance in spinach and other leafy green vegetables with just one cup offering you your recommended daily allowance. For easy snacking, dried apricots are another good source of calcium, with around six offering you your RDA. Vitamin D is an easy one living in Spain, just 15 minutes walking outside in winter will offer you your daily allowance. Spinach wins the award for most versatile vegetable on the list, with one cup offering your RDA of folic acid, iron and magnesium. Broccoli also punches above its weight, offering you both vitamin E and magnesium, while legumes will provide you with your zinc needs, vital for a healthy immune system. So why not drop the multivitamin this winter and grab some greens instead?

A heart felt Skoal to Skol
Marbella Moments by Nicole King THIS week we recorded part of our TV show from the Royal Yacht Club in the Marbella Marina. There were some fabulous photographs of Marbella back in the day on the walls of the restaurant. One of the photographs really caught my eye; it was of the hotel Skol, towering above the nothingness that surrounded it in the early 60’s. Marbella’s first apart hotel was also the biggest hotel complex the village had ever seen, offering over 300 rooms at a time when the local population was just over 12,000. Calle Rafael Zea is the street named after the businessman, originally from Madrid, who envisioned this project and is located close to the Skol building itself. He was born in 1925 and died in 1994 and first came to Marbella himself in the mid 50’s to develop real estate. I have to admit I had no idea about the history of the building, nor was I very interested, until seeing that photo. I realise now that it’s only right that I, we, do know. It’s only just that we pay tribute to this man’s achievements; unwittingly the Skol became the prototype for all residential tourism on the Costa del Sol and very instrumental in the tourism boom. Designed by the architect Manuel Jaen ac-

and loved it! (They loved cruises too). I think of them often and visit many places that bring back a smile as I walk around nowadays, but seeing that moment of history captured on camera like that was very special. Converted into apartments in 1991, this building is still front-line beach and very much at the heart of our city; and obviously also very much part of mine. So thank you ‘Rafa’ and friends for the memories and cheers! A toast to you and to us all; together we are Marbella. #BetterTogether www.marbellanowtv.com @MarbellaNow
Note: What does Skoal mean as a toast?
SKOL Building from the sea. cording to the ‘Modern Movement’ of the era this hotel appeared in countless Spanish movies, making it also emblematic nationally and establishing Marbella as the place to be and to be seen for the Spanish. This building is also meaningful for many long-term expats like me and not just as a point of reference or landmark. Seeing that
photograph of the Skol hotel with absolutely nothing around it but trees was quite wondrous; I remembered it like that!!! For a few moments I could feel myself there, as a toddler with my family, meeting my grandparents at their hotel and then going to stroll around the town. My grandparents always stayed at the Skol
Word Origin and History for skoal... also skol, Scandinavian toasting word, c.1600, from Danish skaal ‘a toast,’ literally ‘bowl, cup,’ from Old Norse skal ‘bowl, drinking vessel,’ originally a cup made from a shell, from ProtoGermanic *skelo, from PIE *(s)kel(1) ‘to cut’ (see shell (n.)).

Raising funds for those who suffer here and abroad

Sandro and Raffaele Morelli. ONE of the annual autumn charity dinners has been hosted by Sandro Morelli at his spectacular Villa Tiberio restaurant to raise funds for the Cudeca Hospice and the Red Cross. Happily the weather which had been stormy and very wet in the preceding days held and guests were able to enjoy a welcome drink on the patio overlooking the many statues and pieces of architecture in the manicured gardens. Guests, many of whom had flown specially from the UK, were treated to a three-course meal in the delightful surroundings of the restaurant where they were entertained by a number of different musical acts performing a variety of songs. In between the music and the food,
funds were raised by a team of volunteers who sold tickets for two different raffles to those who were lucky enough to be present at this sold out evening. In addition, long time master of ceremonies, the singer Steve Cline as well as performing to great applause also conducted the much anticipated charity auction raising even more funds to be shared by the two charities. All of the guests were impressed by the fact that former football manager Harry Redknapp flew over specially for the event, saying that he was very impressed with the hard work that his friend Sandro did to help raise funds for charity. Also present at the evening was Sandro’s brother the charming Raffaele who is the owner of Valparaiso restaurant on
the road to Mijas Pueblo who will himself be hosting a charity event on December 20 with Tina Hall, who is currently taking part in La Voz on Spanish TV as one of the main attractions. Sandro told EWN that he had reached the age when he had achieved most of his dreams and had been successful enough that he no longer needed publicity for himself or his business and what he was determined to do was to raise funds and awareness for charities that actually help people. He said that if he could help just a few children and cancer sufferers to live better lives then he would be happy as long as others also recognised the need that will always exist and did what they could to better the lives of others as well.

As he grew, so he gravitated towards singing and since those early days, has recorded eight albums and performed with a string of great names which include Liam Gallagher and Chic Corea as well as being part of flamenco supergroup G5 which saw him working with Kiko Veneno and Jairo Muchachito. He loves to play and tickets for his upcoming performance cost â‚Ź15 from https://entradas. lacocheracabaret.com.

TRAVELLING away from Spain this week the focus turns on Buttafuoco Storico from Italy; a serious competitor to Barolo, Barbaresco, Amarone. Little known outside Italy, it is reasonably priced and produced in the Oltrepo’ Pavese, a beautiful hilly area 70km from Milan that has cold winters and by Lorenzo warm, dry sum- Barbareschi mers. Different type of soil bottom gravel embedded in sand, compact sandstones and also clays - in the relatively small territory impart unique characteristics to the grapes. Through fermentation of several indigenous grapes with different characteristics, the winegrowers produce a unique wine of structure that can age for years. The blend is 50 per cent Croatina that brings the colour and hints of red fruit; 25 per cent Barbera with its acidity the backbone of the wine, plus Ughetta Canneto and Uva Rara that enrich
Hidden gem from Italy softness and fruit. Buttafuoco Storico is produced by only 14 winemakers who adhere to strict rules, including being harvested by hand, aged at least 12 months in wooden barrels then a minimum six months in bottles embossed with the ‘Mark of the Dawn Treader ship,’ and only marketed three years after harvest. Excellent with red meat and game dishes it also goes perfectly with blue and mature cheeses. My favourite labels - all below €20 for a 2011 or 2013 vintage - are Vigna del Garlenzo - Az; Agricola Giorgi Franco di Giorgi Pierluigi; Vigna Montarzolo Azienda Vinicola Calvi Davide; and Vigna Costera -

Council offers dog training WHAT everybody wants is a well behaved dog and the Marbella Council is inviting owners to join a free dog training course which runs from next Monday until December 8. Registration has to be made by Friday on the council website and there are 40 places available in this first course split into four groups of 10. The actual training sessions will take place at Fuerte Nagüeles with instruction from a specialist in dog training Sergio Moya who said that the programme of the course focuses on the most common situations such as separation anxiety, fears and phobias, stress or conflicts related to the collection of excrement. The hope is that this series of instructions will help to educate owners as well as their animals in order to ensure that they are aware of the nuisance that ill-behaved dogs can cause.

& Plentiful pumpkins not just for Halloween
HOMES PUMPKINS are a famous vegetable with a lot of virtues that are renowned for their long storage life and ease of growing. They are traditionally grown on hills in the vegetable patch but can also be grown in large containers and grown vertically up a trellis if space is an issue. There is a huge range of pumpkin varieties that allow you to grow just what you need. A lot of publicity is given to having the largest pumpkin but for practical reasons smaller varieties, such as butternut are more suitable to the domestic garden to have just enough for a meal rather than a week of the same pumpkin just to use it all up. It is fun to grow some as decoration such as the miniature gourds that can be dried and keep as decoration or larger pumpkins to carve out designs highlighted by candles inside the pumpkin such as for Halloween. The main reason for growing them however is their ability to be stored for months in the right condition to have rich thick soups and other warming recipes over the cold winter months when supplies from the garden can be limited. To grow them you need a very compost enriched soil to retain moisture and provide nutrients as they are heavy feeders and need plenty of moisture around their roots but not on

their leaves and vines. Wetting the plants parts above ground encourages fungal problems such as powdery mildew. This year I had a bumper harvest from growing them in a patch that had my portable chicken coup on it the year be-
fore, with little work from my part as the chickens had done all the preparation. You can grow them in a barrel or other large container of well composted soil mix and grow the smaller varieties up a trellis in a sunny position. If the
pumpkins become very large you can put a sling around the growing pumpkin to give them support until harvest. The way to tell if they are fully mature is when their skin turns a deeper, stronger colour. Press your fingernail against
the skin to test that it is hard and tap it to see if it has a hollow sound. If the skin is soft it is not ready and if it has a hollow sound it should be ready if the skin is hard. Harvest the pumpkin by cutting the stem, do not tear it off, with plenty of stem still attached to the pumpkin so that it will preserve longer. Unless you are using the pumpkin straight away, the close cutting of the stem to the pumpkin invites deterioration of the pumpkin in storage. After harvest keep the pumpkins in the outdoors to harden them off in the sun for a week before storage in a cool darker place with the individual pumpkins slightly separated from each other. The best t i m e t o pl ant pumpkins in the Mediterranean is in early spring after danger of frosts has passed. The earlier the better as the mid-summer can som et i m es be t oo hot f or pumpkins so an earlier harvest is recommended.

IT is essential that all dogs are regularly inoculated and wormed, that is; inoculations and boosters every year, worming treatments every three months as your vet will advise. The only effective worming products are available from your vet. Many pet owners encounter problems at the vet. The dogs and cats do not like to be examined. From an early age, make it a pleasant experience for your pet to be handled and examined by different people. Always do this while you are present, reassure and reward the dog with praise and titbits. Only ask sensible people, who are used to dogs to assist
DOG CAM: Keep watch.
THE VET’S TABLE: Do not let your dog jump off alone. you with this exercise. Some if not most vets prefer to examine their patients on a table. So if you have a dog that can be lifted onto a suitable table, get the dog used to being put on the table. Hold him in a comfortable position for a few seconds, praising him and reassuring him, then give him a ‘titbit’ and gently lift him off.
Never let a dog jump off the table by himself. If you use a table, make sure a mat or cover is placed on it so that it is not slippery for the dog. There is no quicker way to make a dog hate being picked up and put on a table than to place it on a slippery surface. Administering prescribed treatments: Often following a visit to your vet
you will be required to continue a course of treatment at home. This can include: giving pills or liquid medicine (orally); applying ointments to eyes, ears, and skin; administrating eye or ear drops. The only reason dogs object to taking medicine is that they are not used to being handled. It is kinder to prepare your dog to the best of your ability for
the occasion when this will probably arise. This is best done by training your dog to allow you to handle it and examine any part of its body, under any circumstances, without any resistance from your dog. Pills can often be given by disguising the pill inside a little piece of butter, margarine or cheese. There are’many “Do Not’s” associated with this sort of training, all of which are common sense, but you would be surprised how many dog owners have little of this precious commodity. Do not give dogs any medicine unless specifically prescribed for that dog by a vet. If in doubt about your dog’s health, consult a vet, never take advice from unqualified people; this includes pet shops, dog breeders, dog trainers, behaviourists and the person who had a dog with the same sort of symptoms. Do not put anything in your dog’s ear. Look, don’t poke! Report discharges or smells to your vet. Do not put any drops or ointment into your dog’s eyes. Do not interfere with any lumps, bumps, wounds, cysts, rashes or anything else on your dog’s body. Consult your vet.
Dog-less A handful of dogs days are over THE Furbo dog camera has finally arrived in Spain, allowing owners to check on their dogs and even give them treats while they are out of the house. The camera, which has already been on the market in the US and the UK for several months, lets dog owners spy on their pooches by accessing the camera through an app on their phone. It also has a microphone, meaning you
can communicate with your pet and even has an interactive game setting that can give your dog treats. All you have to do is connect the device, which is about the size of a water bottle, to your Wi-Fi at home and download the app. You also have to add the treats before you leave, and then you can choose when to give them to your dog throughout the day. The app even allows you to take videos and photos and share them on social media. I f t h a t d i d n ’t a l r e a d y sound impressive, the camera also has a barking detector so the owner can find out when their dog is getting restless, as well as a system of light signals which warns dogs that their owner is about to communicate.

CHARITIES ACE CHARITY “El Refugio” in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government.

We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA.

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

FORD has a new solution for drivers who miss the oldfashioned hydraulic handbrake. Its Drift Stick goes against the modern obsession with the electronic handbrake. The Drift Stick is a lever connected to the electronic handbrake in the new Ford RS Edition. Skilled drivers can use it to lock the rear wheels and slide, rally car like, while conducting a sharp turn. The patented device slips easily into the car’s diagnostics port. It was developed with the help of rally driver Ken Block, who showcases the Drift Stick in a YouTube video for Ford. It works in unison with the
anti-lock system and is far easier to use than traditional hydraulic handbrakes. T h a t doesn’t mean new drivers will suddenly be performing rally stunts on public streets. Drivers will have to know how to drift before they can make any real use of the new technology. Not to mention the fact that drifting is illegal on almost all public roads. Expert drivers will be able to make use of a USB stick, plugged into the Drift Stick, to monitor their performance. If they have access to

Vanquish bows out THE very last of the Aston Martin Vanquish S range has been released. The S Ultimate is the British firm’s glamorous send off to the now iconic model. Aimed at serious collectors, there are just 175 Ultimates up for grabs, with a starting price of £211,995 (€237,706). There’s little to improve on the monstrous 595bhp already offered by the regular Vanquish S. So this rare collectable instead focuses on style, with three new designer themes to choose from. Ultimate black, a blueish grey, and white gold are the colour schemes, while buyers can be as picky as they like about the interior design. All Ultimates feature carbon fibre brakes, treadplates, and grilles and are emblazoned with a rose gold ‘Ultimate’ badge.

Electric shock!
SLOW UPTAKE: A BMW i3 in Barcelona. SPAIN does not place in the top 10 of a Europe-wide ranking of countries selling the most electric cars and hybrids. New data from the Association of European Automobile Manufacturers (ACEA) has revealed the plug-in sector has just 0.3 per cent penetration in Spain, placing the country 14th on the European chart. Norway tops the ranking with a 29 per cent market share, followed by the Netherlands with 6 per cent and Sweden with 3.6 per cent. The UK places sixth with 1.4 per cent with Ireland in 12th with 0.5 per cent. The ACEA report says that there is a clear pattern between per capita income and interest in electric vehicles, with richer countries in the lead. For example, the average income per capita in Norway is €64,000 while in Spain it is €24,000.

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher
Skoda Kodiaq Edition THE Kodiaq is Skoda’s largest SUV, available with five or seven seats and with a variety of engine and trim options, giving it very broad appeal. Also offering the choice of 2WD or 4WD, the Kodiaq starts at €25,259 (£22,190) for the entry level S model but most buyers will move to at least mid-range specification to gets the best blend of equipment. My test model was an Edition version with a 2.0 litre 148 hp diesel engine and in 4WD form. Standard kit includes alloy wheels, cruise control, drive-mode selection, roof rails, blindspot detection, dual zone aircon, keyless entry and stop-start, rear parking s e ns ors , s a t-na v w ith 23c m touc hscreen, connectivity, wireless phone charging and even umbrellas which slot into the front doors! This version costs €38,332 (£33,675). The 2.0 litre diesel unit is smooth and quiet, with a
0-100 kph time of 9.2 seconds and a top speed of 195 kph (121 mph). Fuel consumption is 18.2 kpl (51.4 mpg). The Kodiaq looks quite imposing and is larger in the metal than it appears in photographs. The frontal look with its narrow headlights and larger grille takes inspiration from its flagship stablemate the Skoda Superb. Underway the Kodiaq proves surprising nimble and impressively secure and controlled on the corners, with light pre c is e s t eer i ng gi vi ng good feedback. Ride quality is also excellent. In overall driving terms I’d say it was best in the class. Inside, the dashboard is rather restrained in design but is very functional and the materials look robust and hard-wearing. The cabin is very roomy, with lots of head and legroom,
and while the third row seats are a little cramped, the middle row does slide forward to create more legroom if needed. With this sort of versatility, a flat-load floor and plenty of oddment stowage space including two gloveboxes, the Kodiaq earns top score for practicality. Even with all seven seats in use, there is 270 litres of bootspace and folding the seats boosts it to a cavernous 2,065 litres. Rivals in the sector include Nissan X-Trail, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento and perhaps the Ford Edge - all formidable contenders - but the Kodiaq newcomer covers all bases - well-built, spacious, comfortable, and with refined driving dynamics.
Stats panel Model: Skoda Kodiaq Edition Engine: 2.0 litre diesel Transmission: 6-speed manual Performance: 0-100 kph 9.6 seconds, top speed 195 kph (121 mph) Economy: 18.2 kpl (51.4 mpg) Emissions: 144 g/km

ITV test overhauled
UPDATED: ITV test. THE Spanish government has announced a series of changes to the ITV test for private vehicles in 2018. Coming into force on May 20, an official statement said that the MOT equivalent will be “more demanding” in order to detect cases of manipulation regarding
emissions in particular. All centres will thus be equipped with new diagnostic reading devices which will connect to vehicles’ onboard computers to analyse security systems and detect ‘malicious software’ or ‘cheating.’ ITV inspectors must also hold a ‘Supe-
rior Automotive Technician’ qualification as a minimum. In addition, if a vehicle passed its technical inspection in any other European U nion c ountry it w ill re mai n val i d i n Spain until the next scheduled review. Drivers may also book their test up to
one month in advance of the suggested date. Finally, if a vehicle fails the ITV test motorists will be able to choose a different centre for the second test rather than being forced to use the same one. as before.

ENGLAND host Germany on November 10 and Brazil on November 14 in international friendlies at Wembley ahead of the 2018 World Cup Finals with manager Gareth Southgate throwing down the Gauntlet. “I don’t think anybody can sit back and safely think they’re going to be involved next summer,” warned Southgate. “In every position there’s really strong competition,” said Southgate, who has brought in Joe Gomez, Tammy Abraham and Ruben Loftus Cheek. Southgate has left out Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, Daniel Sturridge, Jermain Defoe, Chris Smalling, Jake Livermore, Fraser Forster and Aaron Cresswell. Reining World champions Germany, world cup winners four times, and five-time World Cup winners Brazil are arguably England’s toughest duo they could face as an indicator to their 2018 World Cup hopes. It will be a real test of steel and nerves against Joachim Low’s Germany - cruising to qualification from Group C with nine wins out of nine. Brazil are likely to field their strongest side, including stars Philippe Coutinho, Neymar and

Brazil tough nut to crack for England after Germany test UKSPORTSCENE with Andrew Atkinson Gabriel Jesus, as they prepare for Russia, in a bid to clinch their sixth World Cup success. Southgate will finalise the England squad - after friendlies against Germany and Brazil and games against Holland in Amsterdam on March 23, and against Italy at Wembley on March 27. “If I had to pick a squad tomorrow I know who I’d take. Over the next six months that could evolve drastically,” said Southgate. Phil Jones, John Stones and Gary Cahill are key defensive players and Southgate believes Jones, 25, is the best defender England have in their locker. “Not just this season, but
there was a long period in the middle of last season where Phil Jones has been the best defender,” Southgate said of the Manchester United star. “Phil has had great experiences - with both club and country - he organises and competes well and it’s clear what he brings to the team,” said Southgate. England squad for the friendlies against Germany and Brazil: Tammy Abraham (Swansea City, loan from Chelsea), Dele Alli (Spurs), Ryan Bertrand (Southampton), Jack Butland (Stoke), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Fabian Delph (Manchester City), Eric Dier (Spurs), Joe Gomez (Liver-
pool), Joe Hart (West Ham, loan from Manchester City), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool). Phil Jones (Manchester United), Harry Kane (Spurs), Jesse Lingard (Manchester United), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Crystal Palace, loan from Chelsea), Harry Maguire (Leicester City), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United). Danny Rose (Spurs), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), John Stones (Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Spurs), Jamie Vardy (Leicester City), Kyle Walker (Manchester City), Harry Winks (Spurs), Ashley Young (Manchester United). *Northern Ireland play Switzerland in their first leg play-off on today, with the return second leg in Basel on November 12, in their quest to

SPAIN Captain Sergio Ramos will get a taster of the 2018 World Cup Finals when they play hosts Russia in an international friendly game on November 14. “We have never lost focus and been united on one aim to reach the World Cup. It will be my fourth World Cup and that fills me with pride,” said Ramos. Spain meet Russia in a friendly in St Petersburg at the 70,000 capacity Kretovsky Stadium dubbed the ‘UFO’ - to play on a pitch that has been relaid THREE times! A third new pitch was laid in June, three weeks before the start of the Confederation Cup. Zenit FC played two league games on the second pitch laid, and chunks of turf were ragged up! “Russia doesn’t have experience with sliding pitches in football stadiums and that’s a real challenge,” said St Petersburg’s Deputy Governor Igor Albin. The Kretovsky Stadium is one of 12 stadiums across 11 Russian cities that will host matches, including the 2018 World Cup semi-final and the third-place play-off games. The Kretovsky Stadium has been praised as one of the world’s most advanced stadiums which took over a decade to build, reportedly costing more than 49 billion rubles (€950 million), seven times the amount announced in 2004 when original plans were drawn up. Deputy Governor Albin said: “This multifunction sport and cultural complex is exploited all year round so we have a retractable roof and a sliding pitch. It’s a reasonable price.”

Pique and national teammate Sergio Ramos put aside political differences to reach next summer’s World Cup after Pique had been vocal in his support for Cataluña’s referendum. Pique said he could quit, but a pact was made: “I have a very good relationship with Gerard even though we think differently - we have no problem between us,” said Ramos.

ADIDAS have caused controversy among Spanish social media users after many claimed the new Spanish National shirt contains features resembling the flag of the Second Spanish Republic. The shirt, released by Adidas online on Monday, will be used by the National side at next year’s World Cup in Russia, and reportedly pays homage to the shirt worn by the Spanish side during the 1994 USA World Cup. The dominant colour of the shirt remains the usual red, while a new multicoloured stripe appears down the side; a feature many claim bears resemblance to the flag of the Second Spanish Republic. One Twitter user reportedly said: “Boycott the republican national team shirt. Spain is a monarchy, not a republic,” while another asked, “I guess the Spanish Republic is back?” Adidas claim that the stripe is blue, not purple like that of the flag, and according to the RFEF’s official website, the kit “sums up the courage and the red fury.

Kit controversy
STUNNING: Cucciniello produced an emphatic first round win on his EFC debut.
Fuengirola fighter calls out EFC Champ The Englishman made a stunning debut last month By Benjamin Park AFTER a successful Extreme Fighting Championship (EFC) debut, Fuengirola based MMA fighter Jay Cucciniello has called out Featherweight Champion Igeu Kabresa. Cucciniello, who calls himself the ‘Mellow Fellow,’ introduced himself to the EFC featherweight division with a stunning first round submission victory over Wesley Hawkey in the EFC 64 main event in Durban last month. The experienced Hawkey initially seemed to have the upper hand in the fight, catching Cucciniello with a
barrage of punches. But the Englishman turned the fight on its head as he forced the South African to the fence and managed to get the takedown, before finishing his opponent with a rear-naked choke. After the victory, the 30-year-old spoke exclusively to Euro Weekly News, saying: “This was my greatest achievement so far in my MMA journey. “I knew going into the fight that I would leave with my hand being raised. The experience was unreal.” Now, prior to the EFC 65 Carnival City event, Cucciniello has sent a
message on Social Media aimed at both EFC VP of Talent Graeme Cartmell and Kabesa, claiming that he wants to fight the South African. Cucciniello said: “You know the fight to make; it’s what the fans have been asking for. I’ve been getting tweets and messages when I’m going to be fighting him. “2018. Cape Town, sounds like a good spot… Make the fight happen, get it done.” Featherweight Champion Kabesa later responded to the Mellow Fellow’s message, simply saying: “Make it happen.”
