EXCLUSIVE By Matt Ford A FRIEND of an expatriate man being hunted by Spanish police claims a Costa del Sol horror accident has been misreported as details of the dramatic incident continue to emerge. According to Spanish media, the Briton, 35, leapt to safety seconds before the car he was driving plunged 30 metres off the A-45 dual carriageway, rolling several times before landing on its side in the Guadalmedina River. He managed to walk to a hostel in the nearby village of Casabermeja and was driven to Carlos Haya Hospital in Malaga City with minor bruising, but allegedly failed to tell medics that a 35-year-old man from Riogordo, Axarquia, was still inside the vehicle. The Spaniard was freed five hours later after a passing motorist spotted the wreckage, with rescue workers later describing his condition as ‘critical.’ By that time the unnamed driver had already discharged himself, and he has not been seen since. But a mutual acquaintance, who wishes to remain anonymous, exclusively told the Euro Weekly News that the two men are “the best of friends,” and “there’s no way that ‘he’

‘We’ve lost everything’ Expats’ squatter ordeal goes on
EXCLUSIVE By Matt Ford AN expatriate couple whose home was occupied by squatters has been left ‘with nothing’ after the occupiers fled with their belongings. “We have not even got a change of clothes, they even took our underwear,” said Anita Pillay, 69, who has lived in Torremolinos with husband Tony for 15 years. The pair flew to London for a three-week break to visit her elderly mother, but when they returned they found the locks on their front door had been changed and a group of ‘at least five’ Romanian people had moved in. The South African-born exteacher was speaking exclusively to the Euro Weekly News during a visit to her apartment on Avenida de los Manantiales.
“On Friday the lawyer called, telling me that the judge had issued a court order and the squatters would have to leave by Sunday. “But when we went there early on Sunday morning they were still inside, so I called the lawyer and he said we should take the documents to the police station. “The police said we must go

TOP BLOOMIN’ LOVELY: The festival is an underrated gem. THERE is no better way to celebrate the arrival of early summer than with a visit to Cordoba. And preparations are in full swing as the historic city once again gears up to show its true colours during its dazzling patios festival. The annual event features stunning flower displays as the doors swing open on more than 200 private patios - or courtyards - in a colourful contest backed by the council for almost 100 years, during which green-fingered residents battle to put on the most show-stopping display. A typical feature of Cordoban homes, the courtyards tend to be the central feature around which each house is built, and normally have a fountain or well in the middle to collect rainwater. This is a Roman design aimed at easing the oven-like summer temperatures typical of inland Andalucia, and was later adapted by Moorish conquerors who added features including a direct entrance from the street and
vast arrays of flowers planted in beds or pots to bring freshness. The latter tradition has been continued ever since, with fabulous floral displays offering flashes of colour alongside stone mosaics, water features, antique furniture and ceramic decorations, mixed with the fragrant aromas of orange blossom, jasmine, and countless other flowers. And in typical local style, the contest is soundtracked by enthusiastic live performances from renowned flamenco artists and other musicians throughout the city, while local wine and tapas are consumed en masse. There are a number of different parts of the city to visit, each with a unique look and feel, with a map available at http://patios.cordoba. es/en/patios. Entrance to the courtyards is generally free, but there is often a collection box for tips by the door. This year’s extravaganza takes place from May 1-13, with visiting hours 11am-2pm and 6pm-10pm.

THEY confirmed their budding romance on Valentine’s Day. And Strictly Come Dancing stars Gorka Marquez, 27, and Gemma Atkinson, 33, showed they are still going strong during a romantic stroll in Barcelona. The couple were on holiday with friends from the popular show, including AJ Pritchard, 23, and Dianne Buswell, 28, plus English actor Anthony Quinlan, 33, with the group seen earlier in Alicante.
BRITISH comedian Jack Whitehall has been filming scenes for the new season of Bounty Hunters in Spain. The 29-year-old co-writes and stars the Sky 1 series, with American actress Rosie Perez also a cast member. And the pair were spotted filming scenes for the show in the Pescaderia neighbourhood of Almeria City. The show follows the misadventures of

Shock decision
NEWS
Judge ‘freezes’ expat murder plot probe EXCLUSIVE By Matt Ford and Karl Smallman TH E f a m i l y o f m i ss in g mum-o f - o n e L i sa B ro w n have spoken of their shock after a Sp a n i sh j u d g e shelved his probe against the pri m e su sp e c t i n th e case. Javie r Ga r c i a R a mila made the sensational decision just a week after Simon Corner, 3 5 , wa s h e l d a t London’s Heathrow Airport on a European Arrest Warrant. Speaking exclusively to the Eu ro We e k l y N ew s , Lisa’s stunned sister Helen Jordan said: “We are still shocked that this decision has been made after all the hard work but it’s not over by any means.
“We w ere a c tu ally speechless when we heard the news. “We don’t take anything for granted but we didn’t expect this. Helen added, “This is a set-back but won’t stop us, the investigation will still b e co n tin u in g to fin d the truth. “We’re thinking positively... we have to or we would have given up long ago.” T h e ju d g e rep o rte dly made the move after state prosecutors requested that the two-and-a-half investigation be ‘frozen.’ At the Court of Investigation in San Roque, Cadiz, he said in a 10-page written ruling: “This court has serious doubts Simon Corner is the person responsible for the crimes of homicide or unlawful detention being in-
vestigated. “ Tha t is be c a us e of the te s timony of the w itne s s w ho s a ys s he s a w Lis a Brown driving her Ford Foc us ne a r he r home on the morning of N ove mbe r 6, 2015 [two days after police believe she was killed], and because there was no mater-
ial evidence he actively partic ipa te d in Lis a ’s dis a ppearance has been obtained despite multiple inquiries against Simon over the past two and a half years.” H e a dde d tha t he w a s legally obliged to take into account a “lack of concrete proof” and that the enquiry w a s “ a t a point of no re turn,” although it can be reope ne d if fre s h e vide nc e comes to light. Corner - who has never been formally charged - has now been freed from a London jail where he had been held since his arrest after stepping off a flight from South America. He was expected to be extradited on charges of cons pira c y to murde r be fore facing trial in Spain after going on the run for a second time.
CASE CLOSED? Simon Corner and Lisa Brown. Originally from Alexandria, Dumbartonshire, Scott i sh expat r i at e Li sa vani shed f r om her Cost a del Sol hom e i n Guadi ar o on November 4, 2015. The al ar m was r ai sed when she failed to collect son Marco, then aged eight, from school. Lisa worked in Gibraltar and detectives have said a ‘violent episode’ appeared to have taken place, but her body has never been found. Five other Britons who have been quizzed on suspicion of obstructing justice over t he al l eged i nci dent have also had their bail conditions lifted.
Li ver pool - bor n yacht dealer Corner was held in Denmark in May 2016 on a Eur opean Ar r est War r ant and extradited to Spain after fleeing the country in the wake of Lisa going missing. He was released from an Algeciras prison on bail in April 2017 but he broke the terms of his agreement by failing to present himself at a Costa del Sol police station last month. Lisa’s family last month flew to Cadiz and offered a £100,000 reward in an appeal for new information at a press conference attended by Britain’s ambassador to Spain Simon Manley.

Record coke bust
EUROPE’S biggest ever haul of cocaine from a container ship has been seized near Gibraltar. It comes as almost nine tonnes of the drug was found hidden among a shipment of Colombian bananas at Algeciras port. Spain’s Interior Minister, Juan Ignacio Zoido, revealed details of the bust during a press conference, explaining that investigators were alerted to three ‘suspicious’ containers travelling on a barge named the Lucie Schulte.
The shipment was attributed to a Colombian firm and a Spanish import company already under investigation. Drug enforcement officers moved in ‘discreetly’once the vessel had docked in Algeciras, leading to the discovery of the 8,740 kilo stash. But the ship was allowed to move on, with detectives leading the probe anxious to nail down

Three people were held at the scene with two businessmen, named as Willian Fracois R I and Roberto R H, later arrested in Lyon after fleeing to France. The seizure is the largest in Spanish history, outstripping a 1999 haul of 7.6 tonnes, and Mr Zoido praised the “magnificent work of our security services.”

Our thoughts are with her family at this difficult time as their unswerving efforts to achieve closure over the heartbreaking affair appear set to go on for some time yet.

A BRITISH bride-to-be was duped out of several thousand Euros over a bogus rental scam. And her ordeal should serve as a warning to those seeking cheap holiday accommodation, since if she had paid via the online portal where she first came across the Ibiza property the fraudsters responsible would never have got their hands on her cash. Official means should always be used when paying in advance, and rental properties MUST have an official registration number from their local councils.

Why did it rain sand? THE dust was carried from the desert in a phenomenon dubbed the ‘Saharan air layer,’ which forms at around 3,000 metres. At this height it is able to be blown over the Atlas Mountains in Morocco by strong southerly winds, and is only visible from the ground by an orange or brown glow in the sky. But when it rains, the sand is sent plummeting to the ground.

Final orders for booze tax hustlers
AN Estepona mum has spoken of her shock after she plunged more than two metres into an underground rubbish bin, before being saved by the fire brigade, as she went to take her son’s rucksack from her car boot.
A €25 MILLION tax fraud sting has seen 43 people held, 60 fake companies shut down, and more than 300,000 bottles of spirits worth €4 million seized. A number of raids took place on the Costa del Sol, with others in Madrid, Zamora, Badajoz, Castellon, Valencia, Barcelona, Girona, Sevilla, Cadiz, Lleida and Guadalajara, as police swooped across the country in the wake of a two-year probe. The plot was reportedly masterminded by a father and daughter working from a Castellon warehouse, from where the booze was distributed to clients along the Mediterranean coast and southern Andalucia. VAT was charged at 21 per cent and laundered via the bogus firms rather than being paid to the Tax Agency. The ploy allowed the alleged culprits to sell the spirits at low prices and create unfair competition, with thousands of bottles lined up for Sevilla’s April fair ahead of the crackdown. Four of the suspects have been remanded in custody and charged with money laundering, forgery and crimes against the Treasury.

ROCKY RIDE: An easyJet airliner at Gibraltar airport.
Flight chaos Gib cancellations spark outrage by Karl Smallman HUNDREDS of easyJet passengers had their flights to the UK cancelled as inbound flights to Gibraltar were diverted to airports in Spain due to ‘weather conditions.’ Three flights to the Rock were diverted to Malaga or Sevilla. The budget carrier said that the flights “were unable to land or depart due to weather conditions at Gibraltar being outside of the landing limits of the aircraft, caused by a
low cloud base.” Flights from Bristol and Manchester were diverted to Malaga and the London Gatwick flight was diverted to Sevilla. easyJet said they did everything possible to minimise the disruption for passengers and provided coaches to Gibraltar for those travellers diverted to Malaga and Sevilla. However, the airline said the return flights had to be cancelled leaving passengers with the option of transferring their flight, free of charge, or
obtaining a refund. In addition, easyJet said they offered hotel rooms and meals for all passengers who needed them. “The safety of our passengers and crew is easyJet’s highest priority. Whilst this was outside of our control we would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by the weather.” A British Airways flight from London Heathrow yesterday morning also diverted to Malaga but it returned to the Rock in the afternoon.

Lawyer Tom Rushbrooke, defending, argued that Grundy had been suffering from depression and had turned to alcohol at the time of his first arrest. “While he was in Spain he had no access to computers at all,” he added. The court also heard that he ‘slipped the net’ of a rehabilitation programme for sex offenders which he was told to attend when sentenced to a community order in 2012. Judge Jonathan Durham Hall QC described the latest images as “disgraceful material,” but added: “The running away to Spain, on the one hand was reprehensible, but on the other hand, it seems you have used that time to resolve many issues.” Grundy has been ordered to complete 250 hours of voluntary work and attend the rehabilitation programme, and has been handed seven-year sexual offenders and notification orders, local media confirmed.

A CONVICTED British paedophile who went on the run to Spain will not be jailed after a judge ruled that he has ‘resolved his issues.’ Alan Grundy, 59, was given a 14month suspended sentence at Bradford Crown Court after pleading guilty to three charges of creating offensive images and videos and one of failing to notify police of a change in address. The case comes in the wake of his recent arrest and extradition to the UK on a European Arrest Warrant. He reportedly fled after 87 indecent images and two videos featuring children were found on his computer almost three years ago. In 2012 Grundy, of no fixed address, was found guilty of 21 offences of making images of a paedophilic nature. He was told at the time that he must register any changes of name or address with police. But he vanished after being held and refused to comment when investigators seized a computer from a Bradford property where he had been living on June 26, 2015. Prosecutor Paul Nicholson told the court that when police returned to the residence “his mother said he had not lived at the address since he had been arrested. “It turned out that he had taken himself abroad and gone to Spain.”

by Matt Ford A BRITISH man could be sentenced to 13 years in a Spanish prison after being found guilty of a horror stabbing on the Costa Blanca. Benjamin Da Costa, 30 was convicted of killing former army medic Scott Waring in the wake of a trial in Elche. Prosecutors told a jury of nine people the dad-of-one, 40, died soon after being attacked with a ‘glass or pint jug’ following an argument with Da Costa. Expatriate Simon Williams, landlord of the Hub Sports Bar in Villamartin Plaza, Orihuela Costa, has also been found guilty of trying to cover up the attack. He cleared away the broken glass and told investigators that the incident happened outside his establishment “to help Da Costa and hinder the investigation,” the court heard. The victim, who earlier completed four tours of Northern Ireland, was working as a chef and had a three-year-old

Scott’s mum Susan reportedly told local media that her son had spent nine years in the army and described him as a “troubled soul” who underwent counselling to help him cope with what he had seen on tour. “He was an extremely kind person and never aggressive,” she added. “He idolised his daughter and couldn’t do enough for her.
“I think he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Neither of the two men was sentenced at the end of the four-day hearing, with a judge expected to deliver his verdict shortly. Mr Williams is likely to receive a suspended prison sentence if he receives two years or less, while Da Costa faces up to 13 years behind bars for homicide.

Battle for the beach Arraijanal controversy rumbles on EXCLUSIVE by Matt Ford THE struggle to save one of the Costa del Sol’s last remaining virgin beaches goes on. It comes as a private firm contracted by Malaga Football Club continues to fell trees and clear terrain on the site at Arraijanal, between Torremolinos and Malaga City. The recently fenced plot is earmarked for a €6.5 million football academy, but critics say the project is illegal due to alleged irregularities in an environmental impact analysis which saw the scheme receive the green light. And after protesters were forcibly ejected from the site by Local Police officers, leading to two arrests, more than 300 local residents, green campaigners, activists and a number of councillors this week took part in a peaceful march against the academy. The movement has also received support from groups including Ecologists in Action, SEO Birdlife,
PEACEFUL MARCH: More than 300 people took part.

Speaking exclusively to the Euro Weekly News, Mari Cruz of the Churriana-based ecologist group Ciriana said: “We’ve asked Malaga Council for a meeting to discuss the situation. “Biologists from the University of Malaga have found protected species here, but the council’s report says there are none. “Something has to be done before they flatten everything. “We believe irregularities have taken place.”
Family outrage A FAMILY that previously owned part of the land has spoken of their “disgust” after years of being told by Malaga City Council that they could not develop or sell the space “because they qualified it as a ‘high value’ natural area with archaeological remains in addition to the protected flora and fauna.” Juan Jose Diaz and his four brothers inherited the terrain from his grandfather, but the council in 2014 forced them to sell it for €3,000, with the siblings receiving €656 each. He added: “Shortly after receiving the expropriation order I learned from the press that the mayor was going to give the land to the Al Thani Foundation for free to build a sports school. “I was stunned… my conclusion is that they deceived us… as a former owner I want the area to be used to protect nature like we were always told.”

Holiday ‘hell’ as flight axed PASSENGERS flying from Malaga to Mallorca with low-cost carrier Vueling were left furious after a last minute cancellation saw them spend the night at Barcelona airport. The budget airline axed the direct flight with just a few hours’ notice, offering travellers an alternative route via Sevilla. But after travelling to the Andalucian capital by coach, some found they had not been allocated tickets. One angry flier told Spanish media: “Vueling staff told us they had only just been informed that a busload of people from Malaga was on its way.” The aircraft eventually departed one hour late. And when the group arrived at the El Prat hub they had no hotel rooms despite promises made by the airline. “It was 1.15am in the morning when we arrived to be told there was no hotel, but there were many pensioners on an organised tour who were unable to stand,” the disgruntled passenger added. “Many of them were crying and one almost fainted due to a lack of medication.” Vueling reportedly offered them the chance to sleep in Gerona, an hour-and-a-half away. “At that point we said there was nothing more to talk about and they gave us a sandwich and a can of coke.” The travellers eventually reached Palma de Mallorca at 8am in the wake of a 12-hour ordeal. Vueling did not respond to a comment request.

Brit ‘Wikipedia’ kingpin on trial by Linda Hall BRITISH drugs baron Brian Carrington stands trial this week in Alicante’s provincial High Court accused of drugs offences. The accused and eight henchmen face 18-year prison terms for bringing cocaine into Spain aboard a leisure craft via Altea. The drugs were found in an Albir villa ready for distribution, one of Carrington’s 10 Costa Blanca properties which police believe provided boltholes for fugitives from British and international justice. When the National Police raided his Calpe home in July 2013, Carrington was one of the UK’s 10 most-wanted criminals. They impounded assets worth €5 million that included 200 kilos of cocaine, €500,000 in cash, several top-of-the-range vehicles and six boats.
ANTI-SOCIAL MEDIA: Alicante’s provincial High Court and (inset) Mr Carrington’s Wikipedia page which he allegedly created himself. Seven people were arrested in Spain and six in Venezuela in a joint investigation involving police in Spain, the UK, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil and Colombia. Carrington was notorious for maintaining his own Wikipedia entry which he meticulously up-
dated with details of his exploits at the head of an international drugs network. In the past the narco-trafficker had been imprisoned in the UK, France and Germany as well as Spain where he was arrested in Calpe in 1997 with four tons of hashish.
The operation leading to Carrington’s arrest began in 2010 and centred on his girlfriend who had a previous relation with a French trafficker and career criminal, Alain Coelier, who was shot that year in La Nucia, together with a bodyguard.

Rental breakdown by Greg Kirby PALMA DE MALLORCA is set to become Spain’s first city to ban tourist lets in flats. The City Hall’s decision will affect all apartments in the city from July onwards once the motion has been passed. Antoni Noguera, Palma’s mayor, said the ban was to “protect the residents” from soaring prices and a shortage of long-term lets. The measure is the first of its kind in Spain. A Palma government study found rental prices in the capital had shot up by 40 per cent in recent years. This makes Palma the second most expensive rental market after Barcelona, the deputy mayor, Jose Hila said. He added, the trend is transforming European cities from one day to the next. “We have to bring order”, he said. The rental market analysis uncovered a link between the holiday let phenomenon and the rise in the residential let
prices. Almost half of holiday lets were occupied by tourists for at least six months, hitting the long-term let market hard, said Palma’s government team. There were 20,000 unlicensed holiday lets in 2017 up 50 per cent since 2015 compared to only 645 licensed lets. The ban’s exceptions include detached houses and chalets, but not properties in protected rural areas near the airport and industrial estates. The Cataluña regional parliament passed the letting law last August, but it was up to the Palma Town Hall to decide where in the city to target. A leftist government coalition - made up of the Patrido Socialista (PSOE), Podemos and Mallorca’s Mes party are set to approve the new law in a municipal meeting today (Thursday). The mayor said the decision was for the “general interest” and believes it could set a trend for other cities.

MEAN STREAM: The sick video reportedly earned the vlogger more than €2,000.
By Matt Ford A YOUTUBER from Barcelona faces up to two years behind bars after filming the moment he gave Oreo biscuits filled with toothpaste to a homeless man before joking that they would make him cleaner. Kanghua Ren, 20, who has more than a million followers on the video sharing platform, where he posts clips under the username ‘ReSet,’ uploaded the footage in January this year before quickly deleting it after being slammed by viewers. The video shows Ren apparently scraping the filling out of one of the biscuits, substituting it for toothpaste. He appears to repeat the
‘trick’ with at least two others before placing them in their original packaging. The vlogger, originally from China, then filmed a street scene where he speaks in Spanish to a 52-year-old Romanian man - named by authorities as Gheorge L sitting on the pavement. He hands over the biscuits and a €20 note before saying to the camera: “Maybe I’ve gone a bit far, but look at the positive side: this will help him clean his teeth. I think he hasn’t cleaned them since he became poor.” A court heard that Ren earned more than €2,000 from advertising linked to the video after it attracted thousands of views and sparked a furious backlash
including a Change.org petition to shut down his channel. Police quizzed the victim after being tipped off about the video, and he reportedly told them that he became sick and vomited five minutes later. Prosecutors said that Ren offered him €300 not to talk about the incident and ‘reestablish his image’ after deleting the clip and changing to a new channel. He had previously given sandwiches filled with cat excrement to elderly people and children, they added. Ren has been charged with crimes against moral integrity after being held and freed on bail, but has not yet been sentenced.

ALICANTE ARREST: Woods (inset) was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
CHILLING CHALLENGE: Police say the death could be linked to the sinister ‘blue whale’ game. Lopez said that the entire community was “in shock” over the death. The blue whale game has been linked to the deaths of hundreds of children as cases continue to be reported from around the world. Players supposedly report to an administrator, who assigns a series of increasingly gruesome tasks over a period of 50 days, typically involving self-harm or watching horror videos at unusual hours. Photographic or video evidence must be provided to the curator as each task is completed, with the sleep-deprived, psychologically-de-
pressed player eventually encouraged to commit suicide to ‘win’ the game. In Spain, incidents have been reported in Cataluña and the Basque Country, with the youngest victim allegedly just 12-years-old, although there have been no deaths reported. Those responsible are said to be using advanced psychological profiling tools to target vulnerable children. However, while police and schools in a number of countries have issued warnings to parents, cyber-bullying experts and fact-checking websites say that the existence of the game remains unproven.

BANK ON IT?: The mural which some claim was painted by the Bristol street artist. SETTING SAIL: Rota is already home to Spain’s biggest naval base. THE Spanish town of Rota, home to Spain’s biggest military base, could house one of the European Union’s five military operational headquarters following Britain’s departure from the bloc. The port, which also houses one of the largest United States naval bases in southern Europe, will take over the role of Northwood in Hertfordshire. The Cadiz Province town will join four other EU military headquarters in Paris, France, Potsdam, Germany, Rome, Italy and Larissa, Greece if the bloc approves its bid. Rota also reportedly has its sights on becoming the base of Operation Atalanta, the EU’s anti-Somalian piracy mission. Italy is also hoping to base the operation in one of its ports, which is
again currently housed at Northwood. Spain’s defence ministry said it estimates a €1.5 million investment will be needed to update facilities at the base to make it fit for use by the bloc. Much of this is expected to come from EU funding. The news comes as the town hosts Milex 18, an EU military exercise which ends tomorrow (Wednesday). Maria Dolores de Cospedal, Spain’s defence minister, was in Rota along with EU and NATO officials to witness the exercise which is testing the town in its new role. The town’s status in the EU’s common defence and security policy has not been made official but it is widely tipped to take on the role. Rota is home to the Spanish fleet’s general headquarters and US guided missile ships.
Spray it isn’t so by Joe Gerrard GRAFFITI showing two Guardia Civil officers kissing in a town in northern Spain may NOT be the first work by British artist Banksy in Spain. The mural was found by residents in the Galician town of Ferrol de Coruña on Tuesday morning. The graffiti, on Calle Muiño do Vento, is accompanied by writing in Spanish which reads: ‘Reserved for Banksy.’ The text was painted on the
wall last year in what was reportedly a bid to tempt the street artist to come to the town. Questions remain over who is responsible for the mural. Eduardo Hermida, a promoter from the town’s Meninas de Canido street festival, was one of those who backed trying to draw Banksy to the town. He told Spanish media the authenticity of the work could not be confirmed. “We do not know if the work which has appeared in
the reserved space is original or not,” he said. He added he had sent the coordinates of the location to Banksy in an email two or three months ago. “If it is an imitator, it will be the work of a stranger inspired by the technique of the great one,” he said. Banksy typically posts pictures of his latest work on his Instagram page the day after they are painted. There is no post of the Ferrol de Coruña mural there as of yet.

Her opinion piece follows demonstrations in Barcelona calling for freedom for the 16 people currently imprisoned or attempting to avoid arrest in connection with the push for the region’s independence.

Puigdemont is currently on bail in Germany on charges related to alleged rebellion and the misuse of public funds in connection with last year’s independence push. He was previously living in Belgium after fleeing Spain following the country’s issuing of a warrant for his arrest.

RONNA CLARK: With the Scouts.
A ROARING RENDITION: Songs of praise for the new royal baby. TAPAS members and friends had even more than just St George’s Day to celebrate at their Garden Party when the news arrived of the birth of a second son for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. A good crowd gathered for an enjoyable afternoon of fun, music and a typical English afternoon tea, during which over €200
was raised for charity. TAPAS member Betty Ross and her team did a fantastic job providing scrumptious sandwiches and cakes for the event at the specially created ‘Betty’s Salon de Té’. Cabaret was provided by the talented vocalist Helen Rush who entertained everyone and then encouraged the crowd to join in with her to sing a
medley of English songs specially chosen for the St George’s Day theme. English, Welsh and Belgian voices all joined in! If you would like more information about this group, please contact Angela Stopforth, TAPAS publicity officer, on 685 386 923, send an email to publicity@tapassociety.com or visit their website www.tapassociety.com.
Dogs, Cubs and Beavers FUENGIROLA Beavers and Cubs have been learning to knit and with help from parents and grandparents knitted enough squares to make a number of blankets for animals in rescue shelters. Ronna Clark came to visit the Beavers and Cubs to talk to them about her work raising money for the shelters. She also explained why it was necessary for the animals to be neutered prior to going to new homes. She showed the children two rescue dogs and two kittens and to the delight of the children she allowed them to come up in small groups to meet the animals. After the talk the Cubs and Beavers thanked Ronna and presented her with the blankets and
some pet food which they had contributed for her to take to the animals. The children were told that the food will be a special treat for the animals as they normally only get a little meat along with dry pet food. Ronna thanked the children for their work and gave them leaflets about fundraising for the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a leader or would like to find out more about the adventurous and fun opportunities provided for boys and girls by Fuengirola Scout Group, visit their website at www.fuengirolascouts.com or send the Cub Leader an email to fuengirolacubsand beavers@outlook.com.

No pipe dream for gas guzzler
EC chief backs Brexit veto A SPANISH construction firm has been accused of holding Australian city Sydney to ransom over a €1.25 billion light rail project. It comes as New South Wales (NSW) Transport Minister Andrew Constance revealed that the disastrous scheme, scheduled to open in March 2019, is now running a year behind schedule. And he blames Madrid-based subcontractor Acciona, which he claims is deliberately delaying work as it remains locked in a €750,000 legal battle with the NSW state government. “We will ensure as best as possible
by Matt Ford that they ramp up their activity - they are on a ‘go slow,’ anyone walking the city can quite clearly see,” Mr Constance said. “They have construction zones where there is no workforce on the ground doing the work.” Acciona has filed a Supreme Court lawsuit against Transport for NSW, which it argues has behaved in a ‘misleading and deceptive’ way, claiming it entered into the contract under a ‘false premise.’ The fiasco has brought traffic on one
of the east coast city’s busiest thoroughfares to a standstill, and NSW Labor deputy leader Michael Daley said the government must share responsibility. “They are going slow in this project because things are seriously wrong and they have been wrong from day one,” he said. But Mr Constance disagreed, as he replied: “ALTRAC [the consortium responsible for the bungled project] and Acciona need to meet the requirements of the contract, and the NSW government will not be held to ransom.”
DOUBTS have been raised about the economic viability of a giant gas pipeline project between France and Spain. The €3 billion Midi-Cataluña (Midcat) project has been backed by the European Commission and Spanish EU Climate Commissioner Miguel Arias Canete, with French gas grid Tenega and Spanish counterpart Enagas keen to invest. But an independent analysis of Midcat’s first phase concluded that it is unlikely to be cost effective, with critics having long questioned the need for it.

What a catch WAREHOUSE OF HORRORS: Inside the firm’s Madrid facility. E-COMMERCE giant Amazon has been slammed for firing more than 100 employees who were striking for improved working conditions. The firm claims that the decision not to renew temporary contracts was due to a lack of consumer demand, but the CGT labour union accused the company of victimising staff at its biggest Spanish warehouse in San Fernando de Henares, Madrid.
The workers have been organising strike days since March in protest at proposed new employment terms, which are set to see salaries for existing staff frozen indefinitely and sick leave payments slashed. Spain’s largest online retailer usually gives notice when contracts are not renewed, but those laid off told Spanish media that they were informed by email the same day their existing agreements expired.

Brits’ €462,000 court battle THE Swiss branch of a Danish bank must pay a British expatriate couple €462,000 in compensation after a Malaga court found evidence of wrongdoing in a mortgage loan scheme. A judge presiding over the case concluded that Sydbank - which opened an office in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol - and Danish mortgage lender Nykredit were not authorised to operate in Spain, referring to them as “clandestine operators.” And a court ruling described the firms’ behaviour after convincing the victims to remortgage their home to avoid Spanish inheritance tax as “irregular and dishonest.” It also accused two witnesses testifying on behalf of Nykredit of being “extremely unreliable, when not openly untruthful.” The document continued: “The Malaga Appeal Court has reversed an unjust Court of First Instance ruling and granted relief to two British pensioners, victims of the ‘Spanish Equity Release Package’ (SERP),

DANISH MORTGAGE TRIAL: Witnesses were described as ‘extremely unreliable’ in the Malaga trial and (inset) Maria and Barry Gill. peddled by Nykredit Realkredit A/S “and Sydbank (Schweiz) AG and sold by Offshore Money Managers.” The decision reportedly comes two days before the unnamed pair’s home was due to be auctioned after
they received a notice of foreclosure. Sydbank and Nykredit are the same two companies implicated in the case of British expatriates Barry and Maria Gill, who still live in their Costa del Sol home despite it being
repossessed, according to reports. In 2006 they were advised to take out a 90 per cent interest-only mortgage on their property - which they owned in full - by a local financial adviser, slashing their inheritance tax liability from 20 to 2 per cent of its value. And they were told to borrow the cash from Nykredit and deposit the €891,699 total with Sydbank. But the sum began to plummet and in 2012 the Gills learned that Sydbank had shut its Swiss branch and paid the remaining €294,228 of their money to Nykredit without their consent. “We later learned that Sydbank decided to close their Swiss branch because of the threats of legal action they were receiving against them and Nykredit from similar cases of fraud such as our own,” Barry told Danish media. It left the Gills with an outstanding mortgage of €600,000 on a property they had owned entirely six years earlier, and which Nykredit reportedly sold in 2017.

Venezuela and Spain agree to strengthen ties SPAIN and Venezuela have announced that they are to ‘normalise relations’ and restore their respective ambassadors. It follows a diplomatic spat which erupted in the wake of European Union (EU) sanctions against the troubled South American country. The row saw President Nicolas Maduro withdraw his envoy to Madrid over what he called “repeated meddling” in his nation’s internal affairs. His comments came after the EU and United States penalised Venezuelan officials for alleged abuses against opposition protests. The country has been under fire for creating a Constituent National Assembly in 2017, a supreme power that critics say is akin to a dictatorship. Maduro has repeatedly slammed Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy during live television broadcasts, accusing Spain and other European governments of working together to destabilise his regime.

‘Oh to be in England now that April’s here’ LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT
THOSE glorious words from the pen of Robert Browning have, to me, never been more evident than in the last few days of yet another quick sojourn to the old country. Personally, for me the piece should actually be slightly amended, and the word England replaced by ‘London.’ A few days ago, I had received word that the hospital wanted me back in the UK to run a couple of extra tests. Due to pressure of work, it had to be a really quick visit, so last week found me once again ‘Ubering’ around the streets of the great metropolis. And what a difference. My last visit dumped me in the middle of the coldest spell for years, with people shuffling around like iced-up Eskimos from the far reaches of the Arctic. Not this time however. In true British fashion and in the blink of an eye, the ‘Beast from the East’ has been replaced by the shimmering sunshine of the south. And what a difference. London has been completely transformed. The streets and avenues have literally burst into life, with a wonderful abundance of blossoming cherries and magnolias.
SCORCHIO!: Sunseekers enjoying the pleasant weather on London’s floating Garden Barge Square last weekend. The embankment of the Thames was quite magnificent, with sunlight bouncing off the water and the terraces of the moored-up pubs packed with, somewhat relieved, lightly clad Londoners, celebrating the fact that spring truly does appear to have arrived at last. So, once again I find myself hurtling through the air in a tin tube, at some 500 miles an hour, scribbling this missive and hoping that the first time it is
perused, is not when it gets washed up on some foreign shore or another. If you get my drift! Drift, geddit? Ah well. All in all, it’s been quite an eventful week. The anniversary of Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech raised all the usual, predictable reactions. What did interest me however was the high number of those, including some politicians, who felt that were he still alive today, he would have no
trouble being elected - to possibly the highest political position in the land! So things still appear to have a long way to go. I did feel sorry for those Barbadians caught up in the Windrush fiasco however. I remember in my Bayswater days, this happy race of people arriving in their droves. Bringing with them their colourful attire and rhythms, into what was a somewhat drab UK of the late 50’s. They also managed at that time, in the light of some quite severe racist attitudes, to ultimately integrate and become true British members of society. Let’s hope it’s all sorted sooner rather than later. Also delighted to see the North Korean threat all but settled. This of course has very little to do with the sanctions imposed. It is to me an obvious result of China, and probably Russia, ordering Kim Jongun to cool it. The way it was going between him and Trump, it truly was beginning to look as though it could indeed lead to some form of nuclear confrontation. Neither China nor Russia wanted that. But isn’t it somewhat gratifying, after their arrogant posturing and contempt for past American presidents, that they appear to be extremely wary of Trump and what he could well be capable of? Keep the Faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

GDPR and the travel industry UNLESS you have been living under a rock, you have probably heard about GDPR - General Data Protection Regulation - the new EU data protection law that comes into effect in less than a month’s time, on May 25. It was over 20 years ago, in 1995, that the current law -Data Protection Directive (LOPD in Spain) - was established. Back then, internet giants such as Google, Facebook and YouTube didn’t yet exist, the Nokia 2110 was as smart as mobile phones got with its cutting-edge ability to send SMS, and Windows 95 came in a box with 13 floppy disks to be able to install it! Clearly times have moved on somewhat, and so the updated new law is more than overdue. As we enter the peak tourism season on the Spanish Costas, we take a look at how GDPR is going to impact on the travel and tourism industry. Three quarters of people don’t trust businesses - travel brands included - to do the right thing with their personal data such as email addresses, according to the ICO. The travel industry will be particularly affected due to the large volume of personal and sensitive data it processes about individuals such as name, date of birth, credit card details and passport details, and this data is often shared with third parties for booking purposes.
WEBINAR: Get GDPR-ready for the holiday season. In a nutshell, the new law focuses on two main areas that you need to know about, from a business and consumer point of view. 1. Consent The biggest change in the law concerns consent. Customers must give their express consent for their data to be used, and exactly what it can be used for. Could this be the end of email inboxes cluttered with unsolicited spammy emails? We
can only hope! Many businesses that have built a large mailing database by any and every means necessary might be rightly worried by this but at the end of the day, isn’t it better to target people that have actually expressed an interest in a company’s products or services as opposed to a scattergun approach?
2. Security The volume of sensitive personal data and credit card information collected and processed makes the travel industry one of the most vulnerable to data security threats. According to a report by telecommunications giant Verizon in 2016, travel and tourism suffer to the most cyber-attacks of any industry The new GDPR regulations enforces businesses, small and large, to be more accountable for the security of the data that they hold. Obviously, the bigger the company the bigger the target for cyber attacks and logically the more resources they have to secure against data breaches. But even small and medium businesses can ramp up their security with simple and effective measures such as good passport protection, using encryption for data storage either on cloud storage services or on your computer. A webinar offering recommendations to become GDPR-ready for the holiday rental industry is available to attend online for free. The webinar is run by Malaga-based holiday rental portal Spain-Holiday.com. Various dates are available to attend the live webinar or download the recording later. Details to register can be found on Spain-Holiday.com’s industry blog Rental Buzz [www.spain-holiday.com/rentalbuzz].

YOU will be forgiven if it’s not the first thing on your mind when booking your next holiday, but ignoring a preexisting medical condition when arranging travel insurance could be the single most eye-wateringly expensive mistake you’ll ever make. Why bother with cover? Did you know that in-patient treatment abroad can easily run into hundreds if not thousands per day? The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) revealed figures in 2017 that would have you quaking in your boots. Like £768,000 for medical treatment and repatriation for a traveller in the US who suffered a stroke; and £81,000 for treating pancreatitis in Greece. Even a flight home with a doctor escort could set you back over £10,000, and an air ambulance, over £20,000. It’s easy to assume that your medical conditions won’t cause you a problem, but doing so can have disastrous repercussions and may invalidate your travel policy if you haven’t complied with the declaration requirements.
Your quick guide to travel insurance and pre-existing medical conditions It may be more difficult, or more expensive to buy insurance which covers your pre-existing conditions, but it could be a drop in the ocean compared to the medical costs you’ll face if you have a problem. What is a pre-existing medical condition? This is an illness or medical condition which you have previously had symptoms, advice or treatment for. The exact definition and declaration requirements vary a lot by travel insurance policy so always check carefully before you buy. NEVER withhold details of a pre-existing condition, or this could invalidate your policy Many of us suffer from common pre-existing medical conditions, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, asthma, diabetes or osteoarthritis, so it’s essential that you check and comply with the rules set by your chosen travel insurance company. Otherwise you are likely to find that you’re not covered for any-
PEACE OF MIND: When travel insurance covers existing conditions. thing linked to that condition and this could cost you dearly in both stress and hard earned cash. Am I covered with an EHIC Card? The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), may cover costs of
state-provided treatment if travelling within the European Economic A re a ( EEA) , however, st at e healthcare provision varies and can be limited in some locations. You won’t be covered for repatriation costs, or the additional med-
ical support this may involve such as a doctor or nurse escort. How can I get covered? Some companies have ‘accepted m edi cal condi t i ons’ l i st s.

TECH FOR THE TIMID A WHILE ago my bank account was hacked. Why anyone would bother given that my balance is often lower than my IQ beats me, but that’s the way the galleta crumbles these days. What’s more surprising is that they only wanted, and took, the equivalent of two euros. Turns out it was a fishing expedition. According to my friendly banker (yes, there are still a few around even if they’re right up there on the mosthated list with us journalists), they were testing the waters to see whether (a) they could do it and (b) they could get away with it. We nipped that incident together, only to find another odd transaction on my statement a few months later: a hundred euros changed into dollars. Then, presumably when the bank noticed ‘their’ mistaken transaction, it was changed back to euros. Job done, discrepancy solved, no need for any alarm bells. Except that there was. What most users might easily forget is the difference between the buying and selling rates for foreign currency. My hundred smackers ended up back in my ac-
Hack to the future Terence Kennedy has an internet fraud to report: two euros stolen
CYBER ATTACKS: Bank fraud is easing. count as just 97, and the hackers in Prague (apparently) had done this to thousands of accounts, a nice little earner. Ditto the supremely clever scam right back at the beginning of comput-
erised banking, when an insider took just one cent from every account in his nationwide bank, correctly assuming no-one would bother. But the bank had several million customers, so you do the maths. Or math if
you’re American. Online banking has been one of the finer innovations of our digital age used prudently. UK banks say they managed to catch more than 60 per cent of fraud attempts last year, but the equivalent of €800 million still found its way to the bad guys. When my Inbox isn’t telling me I’ve won a lottery I didn’t enter, or that Nigeria’s finance minister really needs my help to move several million, I regularly get emails purporting to be from my bank (and others) asking me to update my personal details, and providing a handy link to do so. Don’t. By all means check and update your information. But do it by going to your tried and trusted online banking site in the usual way, not by clicking an email link which may be a ‘spoof’, taking you straight to a site which may look like your bank’s but isn’t, and possible penury. Oh and by the way: if you get an email from your bank saying some payments are outstanding - it’s not a compliment.
PIN money THE good news for online bankophobes is that you’re more likely to be defraude d t h ro u g h y o u r p l a s t i c card than with internet banking (80 per cent vs 18 per cent last year). Although fraud losses still run into millions, online banking crime is actually trending downwards, largely thanks to increased vigilance by both banks and customers. One golden rule is never to give your PIN code to anyone. Not even bank staff. Nor indeed to family members. When a teenager blew some €11,000 on his dad’s card last year, the bank refused compensation because the PIN was in dad’s desk. In the interests of family harmony the son is apparently paying it back - at €10 a month. For 90 years.

D&M Projects: UPVC experts and a name you can trust D&M PROJECTS, the coast’s leading specialist manufacturer of UPVC windows, doors, patios, conservatories and terraced enclosures, has been established on the Costa del Sol for more than 15 years. Due to expansion, D&M Projects has moved to larger premises just a stone’s throw from their previous location. So if you’re looking for a name you can trust for all your UPVC needs, head on down to the brand new showroom at Camino Viejo de Coin, Km 1.9, Hacienda la Morena, Nave 1 in Mijas Costa. The dedicated team guarantee all their work for 10 years, work which is carried out by their highly professional installers. With more than 25 years experience in the UPVC industry, the firm works to British Building Regulations and Standards. If you are unsure what you want then you are more than welcome to visit the factory, where a friendly member of staff will give you a tour, discuss your requirements, show you different samples and then give you a quote without any obligation.
by Adam Whalley-Lewis I’M so pleased that Johnny Vegas has found his way back from The Solana to the Lake District for the new BBC show Home from Home, BBC1 Fridays. I was getting worried that his mum and sister were holidaying without him in Benidorm (they are), but it seems he hasn’t got sunstroke and is playing happy families in the north of England. This is good news, I was on the verge of an after-sun gel dash up to the Costa Blanca, just to check that the absent Johnny was OK. Home from Home started out as a pilot on BBC2, but as only the BBC can and I have no idea why they do, moved to BBC1 when it proved to be a success - maybe the BBC need us all to remind them that we can and do watch BBC2 sometimes and that some of us actually watch commercial TV too, with the shades drawn, lights off and wearing a large sun hat and dark glasses indoors, but we do watch. Back to the Lakes. Johnny plays Neil Hackett and
It may be the case that you will require a special on-site survey, but this will be discussed with you at the time. The exclusive use of VEKA profile for all of its UPVC items distinguishes D&M Projects from its competitors. All of their profiles use a
tropical mix of titanium dioxide, which is designed to stop the sun discolouring the whiteness of the UPVC over a period of time. For specialist colour requirements there are many samples, including wood grains as well as standard white.

CABIN CREW: Johnny Vegas (right) in new show Home from Home. Niky Wardley his wife Fiona. No disrespect to anyone, but Neil and Fiona, that’s more BBC1 than BBC2, right? Fresh from Silent Witness and Doctor Foster, Emilia Fox and Adam James (Adam is a solid BBC1 name too isn’t it) play the Dillons, Lakes’ neighbours to the Hacketts. The basic story is that the Hacketts have eventually achieved a lifelong dream to buy a traditional lodge in the Lake District,
you know the sort of thing, lovely setting, nothing traditional about the actual lodges at all. Their lodge is set on the Lake View Holiday Park and they love it, until they meet their neighbours, the Dillons. There is a lovely BBQ scene where Penny (Dillon) is explaining what she misses most about Ibiza ‘shut up and eat your steak’ should become a new Johnny catch phrase.
JUNGLE MEN: Will Millard and a Korowai tree-dweller in My Year With the Tribe. Home from Home continues on BBC1, Friday evenings. A solid BBC2 programme Johnny probably wouldn’t want to front is My Year with the Tribe, BBC2 Sundays. The show follows Will Millard (he’s a writer and looks really at home with the tribe, maybe too at home come to think of it) as he spends a year with the Korowai tribe in Papua, Indonesia. The Korowai are tree house-
dwellers and Will sets out to understand the challenges they are tackling as they move into the modern world. There are some pretty spectacular shots of the tree houses and some curl up moments when Will gets to grips with the realities of living with the natives - put your coffee down, bugs cleaning out your ears for example, the programme pulls no punches; but then the Tribe explain that they have a sort of fake tree house for use on Dutch TV and for me it then all started to feel slightly uncomfortable. If a massive HD TV and a convection oven come into shot during Sunday’s offering, I’m crying foul! Fans of the Channel 4 show Humans will be pleased that series 3 is due to be screened soon. If you didn’t see this first time around and want to catch a couple of Mr Selfridge actors playing with a robot - he did literally play with a robot, series 1 and 2 are available via CH4 box sets. Happy Viewing.

CONGRATULATIONS on your success with Euro Weekly. As a reader from your very first edition, which then followed Mr Andy Ormiston, one of only two free papers, The Entertainer and Andy’s paper which was the size of The Financial Times and published monthly. I have written to your paper many times on various subjects, animal cruelty and Second World War events and from as far back as 2002 I always sent you an April Fool which you published without any qualms but this year you refused - why? Everything I have written has been harmless, nothing rude, insulting, racist, private names or public people. I have had phone calls, been stopped in the street to ask why no pranks this year.

Boozy Brits to be slapped with fines Only old lifeless boring people think this is a good idea... remember you were young once. Matt Silver Having lived here for 14 years I have never seen Spanish young people behave like some of the Brits abroad. I go to a Spanish bar and watch a football match, they don’t really drink much, it’s called sport and unfortunately that ain’t the case in the UK now. I got so tired of seeing hen stag holidays making fools of themselves I very seldom go into a British bar any more. Stephanie Bremner
Squatters refuse to leave expat’s Spanish home Sorry to say this happened to my sister and it took years to get him out and he trashed the house and stole everything when he went. Spanish Law in regard to this is nuts. Mandy Scott Terrible. Home owners selling property beware. When they see for sale boards and no activity they just move in. It’s all wrong. Jay Ellis Big problem in Spain!!! It’s not the first time I’ve heard of this. Unfortunately the law protect these people in the wrong... And if you don’t pay your bills you may
our readers should waste their time visiting two warships that weren’t there. In hindsight we believe that when balancing your disappointment, against the potential misleading of our readers, we were absolutely correct in not publishing something that wasn’t funny and was just misleading.

IN response to Stephen Hamilton’s Tee’d Off letter last week I would like to inform him that I belong to a small, friendly, English-speaking golf society. The society plays at Parador de Golf, near Malaga. One does not have to be a member at Parador de Golf to play with this society although if you wish to join as a member there is no waiting list. The course is flat and very walkable and cooler than most inland courses in the summer, it being on the coast. The society plays two competitions on average per week on Mondays and Thursdays. There is also a very good social side to be enjoyed. Mo Reilly, Montemar
Unfair exchange MY partner and I have been on holiday in Calpe since early March, we come to the Costa Blanca frequently and love it. Last Sunday we walked the testing but beautiful Sierra Helada from Albir to Benidorm. We needed to exchange some sterling into euros, however the exchange shop was closed in Calpe on Saturday afternoon when we went but we noticed a currency exchange shop open on Sunday and it was displaying a rate of €1.137 to the pound in big letters on a sign outside. We decided to change £200. To our disbelief the lady behind the counter only gave us €170 for our £200! When we protested she pointed to a notice inside her dark shop saying we had to exchange more than £2,000 to get the €1.137 rate otherwise it was just €0.9 to the pound. She wouldn’t give us our money back and we felt deceived, duped and naive by this con. It is a scam and other Benidorm holidaymakers need to be made aware of. Helen Stretch, Calpe and UK

RESTAURANT chains on the UK High Street have recently been facing a combination of a squeeze on incomes, rising costs and falling demand. Prezzo, Byron and Jamie’s Italian have all shut restaurants. It’s just market correction. Anyone can see there’s massive oversupply, and most of those in trouble don’t offer a good product so aren’t sufficiently robust when the going gets tough. This means that the market works the way Adam Smith taught us. Those restaurants which can’t get bums on seats will fail, and their customers will move on to those of their competitors offering more appeal and better value. In a restaurant there are two words never to get excited about. First, its ‘Concept’ (explained by hipster waiters who breathlessly tell you the salad leaves were foraged from the central reservation of the M1, or the salmon hand-smoked in a skip under Brixton
FANNY CRADOCK: Back in fashion on BBC iPlayer. railway arches). Second, ‘taster menus’ (convenient and lucrative for the restaurant but only half the items of which many of us really like). Two words - like ‘amateur’ and ‘brain surgeon’. Or ‘Donald’ and ‘Trump’. All are terrible ideas. Basically, there are still too many celebrity chef TV programmes helping perpetuate the dream that fancy food is what we all crave. You know: Masterchef smears, sprays, foams, powders, splats, skid marks and blobs. Expensive ingredients, high wages, high overheads, fancy plates, fancy cutlery - equals low profit margins; equals bad business. What’s preferable is a
good dinner without acres of starchy tablecloths or starched waiters. Alternatively, cook at home and enjoy farm fresh foods. Oh wait, umm, we don’t teach cooking at school any more! Pass the cornflakes... Meanwhile, the original celebrity TV chef is back. Fanny Cradock, the OTT matriarch who introduced post-war Britain to prawn cocktails and cheese soufflé, is back on BBC iPlayer. She peered from the telly like a culinary Medusa, rude, arrogant and completely insensitive to other guests. While Johnnie, her monocled husband, talked and moved like an original Thunderbirds puppet and is credited with uttering the immortal line: “Hope all your doughnuts turn out like F***y’s.” Priceless.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Is she the president? I recently put myself forward as president of our community. At our AGM the administrator clearly miscounted the votes so I requested a recount. She then counted the votes and got it wrong again! At this point, the current president resigned and the meeting ended in disarray. However, the administrator announced that she would do yet another recount and confirm the outcome. In this result, two days later, I had three more votes (out of 17 votes!) and a larger quota. I asked the administrator to send an email to all the owners with the result but she has not done this. Where do I stand? SR (Costa Blanca) I am supposing from the tone of David Searl You and the Law your question that you in Spain have now been elected president of your community. Properly, the outgoing president, who presided over the AGM, should, in combination with the person acting as secretary, prepare the official minutes of the meeting, sign them, and register them with the property registry. Then you are officially the president. Properly, these minutes should state the number of votes cast and who voted for each candidate.

Out of touchscreen Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man HERE’S a message for all people - mostly of the younger generation who walk along the street or in aisles of supermarkets or inside shopping centres - STOP STARING DOWN AT YOUR PHONE AND LOOK WHERE YOU ARE GOING! What are you doing? Three times in a matter of minutes today I had to take evasive action because people were just not looking where they were going and were about to walk straight into me. As usual, if you say anything, you get a volley of abuse or just a dirty look - not a ‘sorry’ or any kind of acknowledgement that they might be at fault. It worries me that these same people are messaging on their phones as they are driving too. I also still see loads of people talking on their phones when they are driving. I think it should be an instant ban don’t you? I bought something from Amazon the other day and was told it would be delivered within a couple of days. I had a tracking number and the web address of the delivery company. It was Amazon Spain by the way. Two days later I get an email saying it would be delivered that day. Great.
The day came and went and no delivery so I went online to see where it was. I put in the tracking number which was 22 digits long and it said they had tried to deliver and nobody was in. Now I live in a community where there is someone on the entrance gate 24/7 except for the odd time when they do a little patrol or go to the loo and there’s always a note on the door saying back in 10 minutes. So I called the company and after a while and after eventually finding an English-speaking operator and giving her the 22 digit tracking number - gawd knows why it has to be 22 digits - I was told that it was on the way. Anyway the next day the same thing happened. No delivery and the same note on tracking that nobody was at home. I call again and explain there is always someone there and ask if they are they going to the right place. I also get an email from Amazon asking what I thought of the delivery, was I enjoying my new purchase and how would I score them. They got a one because there wasn’t a zero, and a note saying I couldn’t rate it yet as it had not been delivered. I phoned again, the 22 digit number was given and I was told it would be delivered the next day. Five days after the original date I got the parcel and when I checked online it told me that I had signed for it, which I hadn’t. mikesenker@gmail.com

Don't look for spooks in the closet when there are none. Not only does it look silly but it also wastes good time. Basing your actions on past disappointments can only lead to more of the same. Show confidence in others and they will show it in you. Sometimes, your patience wears thin but it is in your best interests to remain calm.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) You have been learning about certain people very fast. Do you feel as though you are in the middle of a soap opera? In the spring sunshine, it is possible that passions will fire up. Everything seems to revolve round one person and it is upsetting everything else. Try to spend more time with people who have a warmth and generosity about them.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) This is your week to sparkle and show how clever you are. Why be modest? Let others know what you are capable of; your talents will come out sooner or later. Don’t be embarrassed when paid a compliment, for it is richly deserved. You have put on a jolly good show of late and it is now time to listen to the applause.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Something that you had set your heart on, although still coming, is terribly slow. This is not a time to be a pessimist. Please don't, however, allow your tendency to put all your eggs in one basket trip you up. It is not necessary to go about things the way that you normally do. Remember that variety is the spice of life.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) You are moving on in an important area but do not burn bridges before you have others to cross. You will know why I mention this later in the week. You are able to influence others far more than you realise, but with your wish to keep things on an even keel you may be giving away too much. You need to keep a balance.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Is there a chance that you are burying your head in the sand? It is likely that something happening right in front of you is being overlooked or ignored. You are able to deal with this more easily than you think. Just take one step at a time and stick to your plan.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is not a time to take anyone for granted. At this time of the year people tend to look at their situation and ask if they are getting enough out of it. Neglecting someone now could store up a lot of problems for the future. Avoid doing anything that could lead to you being blamed later.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Now is your chance to go straight for what you want. The shock of having this opportunity could cause you to hesitate. Do bear in mind, though, that he who hesitates is often lost. The temptation to keep something for yourself is not selfish but sensible. You may not have the chance again in the near future.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) A big change means big chances, so don't let small things get you down. In the past six months you have come a long way. You are not back where you started. You are being given the chance to start again, but this time you have far more experience..
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Challenges that do not please you are inevitable. That does not mean that your attitude towards them could not change. Indeed, unless you want to continue to be upset, it must. Luckily, you have mostly had your own way recently. Try to be a good loser when you have to accept second best.

BIRTHDAYS
JEN enjoys a conventional family life in London, but when her 15-year-old daughter Lana goes missing it seems things may change forever. Lana is found unharmed in the middle of the countryside four days after disappearing. Everyone believes the family can return to normal and the police consider the case closed. But Jen notices something different in her. The 15-yearold refuses to tell anyone what happened to her and soon she starts uncharacteristically sleeping with the light on and stops going to school. Lana’s mother becomes increasingly drawn to the mystery of what happened during the days she was missing. She begins to search for answers, but it is unclear what her daughter will reveal in Emma Healey’s Whistle in the Dark.

But their lives are quickly turned upside down when two robbers break into their home and kill Margaret (Julianne Moore), Lodge’s wife. Things are mixed up further when an African-American family moves into the predominantly white neighbourhood and end up on the receiving end of rising tensions. The locals are then forced to come to terms with changing times.

Stopping joint pain without surgery - the next generation! FOR the last decade at The Bodyworks Clinic we have worked with a game changing therapy option - Magnetic Resonance Therapy (or MBST or MRT). This has allowed us to help treat patients with any of a LONG list of joint pain conditions feel better, have greater movement and improved quality of life without surgery, drugs or long rehabilitation periods. This has been a revelation and thrilling to watch people given diagnoses of ‘bone on bone,’ ‘never play again,’ ‘pain medication is the only option’ and more get back to sport, enjoy their families and live life pain and medication free.

many, the creators of this fantastic equipment haven’t been sat quietly! They’ve been busy doing more research, winning awards and developing the next generation of equipment. And now, it’s here on the Costa del Sol! The first of its kind in Spain! New rules So what does this mean for us? • Faster treatment - what previously took six months of
rehabilitation or two weeks of MRT is now possible in one WEEK!! • More powerful - for those with chronic or more complicated conditions • Bigger - we can treat larger areas of the body with no loss of efficacy! More success The original clinical trials for MRT showed approx 75 per cent success rate (compared with 3 per cent for an arthroscopy!!). Here at the clinic our internal results show 90-95 per cent over the last decade with less than 10 per cent needing additional treatment within five-10 years. With the new, improved version? It’s going to be exciting finding out!

BOOZE WARNING: Drinking too much alcohol can cause many health problems.
Over the limit? NEW research shows that you might be drinking too much after all, even if you’re keeping within the recommended limits for safe alcohol consumption. Regularly drinking more than 100g of alcohol a week - five or six medium glasses of wine or pints of beer has been linked to shorter life expectancy, according to research published recently. On average, each unit of
alcohol consumed over the 100g threshold, will slice about 15 minutes off your life, about the same as a cigarette. And drinking between 200g to 350g per week will lower your life expectancy by one to two years. If you drink more than 350g per week you can expect to say goodbye to this world by up to five years earlier. The research concludes
that recommended daily limits for alcohol consumption should be lowered to save lives. Limits in Spain are about 50 per cent higher than in Britain, where the threshold for safe drinking was recently lowered to 112g. Good news for the ladies, though, is that the research found no evidence supporting a lower alcohol limit for women than for men.
Battle of the bulge UK government figures show that men in the UK are officially the fattest men in western Europe. Some 27 per cent of the British population is now obese, putting the UK as the sixth highest in a league table of the 34 Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) nations. The average male Brit now tips the scales at 84kg. Only Americans and - perhaps surprisingly - Australians are heavier. In fact, obesity rates in the UK are up 92 per cent since the early 1990’s, according to the OECD, who also predict that 40 per cent of people in Britain will be obese by 2030. The figures also confirm that men in the UK are heavier than their Spanish counterparts, who actually weigh the least in western Europe at 74.8kg. In Spain, which is famed for its healthy Mediterranean diet, only 17 per cent of the population are obese.
DIET DAMAGE: British men are the most overweight in Western Europe.

Marbella Moments by Nicole King I WAS fortunate to interview Mattias Tönnheim on my radio show, Mi Marbella FM (Wednesdays 5.30pm on 107.6fm). He owns a successful art gallery in Malmo, Sweden with his wife but recently decided to move to Marbella, bringing their teenage sons and Swedish art gallery concept with them. This second Wadström Tönnheim gallery opened its doors to the public just last week in the San Pedro industrial estate, which is slowly but surely becoming the ‘in,’ ‘Soho-bohemian’ gallery enclave of Marbella. Mattias loves it here and has high hopes for his gallery and his family.

The millstone
Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
CRISTINA CIFUENTES, hanging onto the Madrid Community presidency by the skin of her teeth, has renounced her Master’s Degree in Autonomous Law. She insists it’s hers, fair and square, and if anyone is at fault it is the Rey Juan Carlos University as she completed the course in 2011-2012 as required. The degree has become a millstone round Cifuentes’ neck despite her standing ovation at the Partido Popular (PP) conference in Sevilla. Applause today can mean the door tomorrow and no one knows that better than Cifuentes, whose predecessor is at the centre of a corruption enquiry. That enquiry now threatens to implicate her too because of contracts awarded in 2009 when she was vice-president. Meanwhile, Mariano Rajoy, whose prefer-

ence for immobility in a crisis is legendary, sees no reason to give Cifuentes the push. As female PP politicians go, she is less redolent of mothballs and incense than many, but this matters less to Rajoy than finding a substitute. As well as having an acceptable image he or she should not be known for being economical with the truth, two requirements that currently rule out many PP politicians.
Having it both ways SPAIN’S president Mariano Rajoy has consistently fudged the Catalan conflict by insisting that it is a legal issue. This worked against him in Germany where former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont was freed on bail because the country’s legal system did not recognise re-

bellion as high treason. This wasn’t the answer Rajoy wanted although Spain once refused to extradite Herve Falciani, the Swiss bank whistle-blower who leaked information on more than 130,000 suspected tax evaders. Interestingly, the Swiss are trying to extradite Falciani again but although he was arrested, he was later freed while Spain decides what to do with him. It’s a purely legal issue, naturally. So what will Rajoy do this time? After all, he can’t always have it both ways.

A DEGREEE OF UNCERTAINTY: Cristina Cifuentes has renounced her Master’s Degree.
Ada gets her dates wrong ADA COLAU, mayor of Barcelona and leader of Barcelona en Comun, evicted Admiral Pascual Cervera y Topete from his city street. Cervera y Topete commanded the Spanish navy in the disastrous Cuban war that lost Spain one of its last colonies. Although Colau does not hold that against him, she claims the admiral does not deserve to have a street named after him. That honour goes to a deceased actor, Pepe Rubianes, whom few have heard of but was born in that very street.
Rubianes would be happy to see his ‘beloved public’ gathered there to remove the name of a ‘facha’ - Spanish slang for a fascist - Colau said during the renaming ceremony. columnists@euroweeklynews.com

English Campus gets a graffiti facelift TWO graffiti artists from the nationally famous group ‘Whole grafix’ came to Alhaurin de la Torre to show their talents recently. They painted the façade of the Campus English School located on Avenida de las Americas, last weekend. The best known work of the group is the largest mural in Spain on the side of the Jerezanas Paez Morilla winery. For the Campus English School, the two artists had in mind to paint quintessentially British symbols, and the results were fantastic. Among the pictures were a giant red bus, the iconic telephone booths and the classic post boxes. A crowd of young and old visited the scene as the two graffiti maestros did their work, and were able to speak and take photos with them through the day.

Highly successful United Nationalities of Marbella Summit by John Smith THE Third United Nationalities of Marbella Summit organised by TV and Radio presenter Nicole King was held at Velvet Marbella last Tuesday, (April 24). There was a good turn-out of different expatriates resident or working in the c ity a nd its e nvirons a nd a pa rt from a problem with drilling at the adjacent Indian restaurant which was not stopped for some time, it was a very successful event. The concept of the entire presentation was to see what people from the 137 different nationalities who live in the 27-kilometre stretch that is Marbella can do to help each other to make the area a better place. There have been two major successes since last year’s Summit and these have been achieved thanks to the hard work of Nicole and her determination to see safer roads and better opportunities for youngsters. Firs t is the Ze roH e ro c a mpa ign which is backed by the Road Traffic Sa fe ty Founda tion Line a D ire c ta whereby various bars and restaurants around the city will not charge ‘designated drivers’ for soft drinks provided that it is clear they have taken no alcohol and some of the most prestigious establishments in the area have already indicated that they will join the initiative. Linea Directa will be providing personal breathalyser kits which can be used not only whilst customers are about to go to their cars but can help them check their alcohol level the following day when so many people don’t realise that they may be breaking the Spanish limit. As support for this initiative, Euro Weekly News will regularly report details of those bars and restaurants who are participating in the scheme so that readers can make an informed choice as to where to visit. On the same lines, there is a general feeling that there is simply not enough entertainment for young expatriates who could be tempted to spend time together, drinking and possibly being lured into taking drugs.

GRAEME TYRRELL DELICIOUS fresh salad and herb ingredients can be easily grown in such a small space in very little time using wooden pallets. Pallets can be used as containers, often with very little modification, filled with soil and planted with your favourite small plants. The result is readily available salad plants, herbs or other plants of your choosing. If space is an issue, pallets can be stood vertically to create a multi-storey garden with rows of plants held by the pallet’s wooden slats. Horizontally the pallets make a good row divider and keep the plants cleaner as they rest on the wood rather than soil. Either way they make growing your plants much easier as they hold the soil, insulate the soil temperature, and give easy access to care for and harvest the produce. If you are lucky you may find some pallets at factories or other places which frequently get deliveries on them. Some are starting to realise their value and may wish to charge something for them but many still give them away. It is still far easier to have the ready-made frame

Salad and herb pallet gardens Upcycle timber, save space, time and cost
HOMEGROWN: Different salad plants in a pallet garden. at a fraction of the cost and work it takes to make them from new timber. The best pallets are heat treated ones. Chemically treated pallets may last longer but may have residues that can be harm-
ful. Fortunately most are not treated as they are often for one use only, which makes a great benefit to the environment if you can find creative ways to reutilise them. For vertical gardens you
will need to put a liner of shade cloth, a sack that fits inside the pallet or even some extra wood from another pallet to keep the soil stable inside so that it will not flow out when watering. You can paint and dec-
orate them if you are really keen or just leave them with the natural wood. Horizontally laid pallets are easiest but take up more space. If you are placing them on a balcony or terrace with a hard sur-
face it is best to make sure that run-off from watering will not cause any issues. A simple waterproof material under the pallet, with the edges pinned up onto the pallet frame, can act as an effective water tray. I have seen many gardens with plenty of space using pallets just for their convenience to suppress weeds, protect the plants and add character to the garden. It works wonderfully when filled with compost and enriched soil. The pallets help to reduce evaporation and so less watering is needed. There are so many types of lettuce and Asian green vegetables available these days that you can make interesting arrangements of the plants or the more traditional rows of different varieties can be guided by the pallet lines. Parsley, thyme and various other herbs will also do well in pallets. Grouping them together makes it easy to gather the herbs when needed in the kitchen.
The American dream IF you don’t mind a bit of dust, why not take on the challenge of restructuring your house. The most popular projects that homeowners tend to tackle in Spain involve combining the kitchen and lounge and/or combining the salon and the terrace. The kitchen-lounge fusion is commonly called an A m e r i c a n k i t c h e n - d i n e r. This project involves removing the wall between these two areas to open up this space. This new space is more open and can offer new viewpoints within your home which have a knock-on effect on our in-

the terrace. People living in urban flats can sometimes be hesitant about us-
ing their terrace. There can be too much noise or smoke from the neighbours or simply a general lack of privacy. This salon-terrace fusion involves enclosing the balcony, normally with double glazing, as well as removing the old door which separates the two areas. What remains is a larger room which receives much more light. Undertaking these projects in your house can not only add value to your bricks and mortar but can improve your quality of life around the home, something which is priceless.

Not so secret pleasures of travel Nick Horne The Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England GENEVA is an interesting place. Of course it’s a city, strong distinctive architecture, beautiful views of Lake Geneva and mountains, compact not sprawling, with a fast running river dissecting ‘downtown’. A famous shopping street too, the Rue Du Rhone, which parallels the river Rhone’s immediate source at the lake’s overflow. The iconic Jet d’Eau fountain blasts a tower of water into the air. Pleasure gardens and coffee shops to enjoy are dotted round the lake shore attracting citizen and visitor alike. Geneva is usually associated with discreet bankers, jewellers and very high-end watches of exquisite mechanical complication, manufactured with precious metals and adorned with jewels, as well as a host of international organisations whose remits range from football to world health. CERN the massive underground laboratory of the Large Hadron Collider buried deep underground peers into the secrets of the universe. There are many reasons to travel to Geneva and many modes of travel to arrive there. Train,
GUILTY PLEASURE: The Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues, Geneva just steps from lake, the Old Town and Quartier des Banques. airplane or car. Where though to stay when you arrive? There are many really good first class hotels in Geneva, how could there not be when it regularly hosts heads of state and is frequently the cockpit of diplomatic tussles. On the shore of the river Rhone and overlooking the Jet is the Hotel des Bergues. First opened on May Day 1834 the hotel was the
largest in Switzerland at the time. More recently a Four Seasons group hotel, the Hotel des Bergues, was extensively and fabulously refurbished and reopened in 2005 to great acclaim. The public rooms, shops and restaurants on the ground floor have attracted the wealthiest of travellers and people of business for more than 180 years. The hotel itself accommodated them
in luxury. Nowadays a hotel of this standard ought to have a first class spa and of course the Hotel Des Bergues does. While the hotel is at least 30 minutes from the international airport, it is just a 10-minute walk from Geneva railway station. My choice of mode of travel to Geneva is the train and I would start my approach in Zurich. Trains frequently travel between Zurich and Geneva. Choose a time that suits you. I select one which will allow me to have lunch on the train, fine dining it is not, however the views from the excellent restaurant cars are just a little bit more expansive than elsewhere. Good food and a little wine to enhance the mood. The view as the train repeatedly bursts from a tunnel, to traverse a valley, to plunge into another tunnel, to then burst again to a fresh view of mountain, snow and trees cannot be captured on film. In memory it’s a stop-motion flicker of impressions. In its way quite exhausting. The short walk down the hill from the railway station to the hotel, long enough to stretch your legs and arrive ready for the pleasure of the table, the spa, a curated ambiance, LouisPhilippe-style furnishings, with a marble bathroom in every room. Recover from the secret pleasures of travel in luxury.
Travel MANY people have a bucket list of places around the world that they would like to visit, even if it is just a pleasant daydream. However, those who are serious about making good on their explorations may need to start prioritising, as many sites are endangered due to environmental factors, political upheaval, and lack of funds among other reasons. Old City of Jerusalem and its walls This is clearly a deeply sacred site in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and according to UNESCO contains 220 historical monuments. Jerusalem and its walls were added to the UNESCO List of Wo r l d H e r i t a g e i n D a n g e r i n 1982, at Jordan’s suggestion. But with ongoing political problems, urban development and an apparent lack of protection, it is definitely advisable to visit there sooner rather than later.

many endangered and diverse species, and was added to the U N E S C O L i s t o f Wo r l d H e ritage in Danger in 2011. It consists of three distinct
national parks, has some 200 mammal species (including the Sumatran orangutan), 580 types of bird and 10,000 plant species.
Liverpool, England According to Conde Nast Traveller, while UNESCO stipulates that the current buildings in Liverpool must remain the tallest
in the city, ever increasing urban development threatens to permanently alter the Liverpool’s aesthetic. The port, which was one of Britain’s flagship economic hubs in its heyday, was added to UNESCO’s List of World Heritage in Danger in 2012. Coro, Venezuela The beautiful city is “the only surviving example of a rich fusion of local traditions with Spanish Mudejar and Dutch architectural techniques,” says UNESCO. It was added to the Danger list in 2005 due to fears around the effects of the Venezuelan oil industry. Glacier National Park, Montana This stunning National Park used to contain over 150 glaciers, but that number is now down to just 25. With climate change’s relentless march, those wishing to see such glaciers may need to make plans quickly.

Mad dog
David THE Dogman columnists@ewnmediagroup.com
THERE are four basic forms of aggression: to other dogs, to the owners, to other humans and to children. Some dogs are aggressive to other dogs because all pack animals depend on a dominance hierarchy in their community or family. Often the more dominant dog can establish its higher ranking by growling and baring its teeth, with ears erect, tail trembling and held high, ‘hair on end’ along the shoulders and back and by staring fixedly. Less dominant animals submit by lying on their backs or putting their tails between their legs. This is called the ‘Beta Roll’. If the more dominant animal is not happy with the speed of submission or the extent of the submissive reaction, then aggressive action can follow. Normally this is limited to the minimum of damage, if any, as long as there is no human interference. If a person hits one of the dogs it may t h i n k t h e p a i n h a s b e e n caused by the other dog, thus esca-
lating the conflict. The closer the status ranking, the greater is the risk of serious damage. This is particularly true of two female dogs in the same household. If there are two male dogs, one can be castrated to reduce its rank but this does not work with two females if both have been spayed, an a c t i o n w h i c h should never be taken. As puppies, they may well have lived happily together but problems are likely to start once they reach around eight months. If neither have been spayed it is vital to spay the one that is challenging for dominance. Make the wrong choice and you will have problems later on. Even if a dog is submitting, the more dominant dog might decide that the ‘comfort distance’ is not suffi-
cient, especially if food is involved, and attack. A dog can be aggressive towards a human owner for several reasons, all of which are more likely to occur if that owner has not established, in the dog’s view, his or her dominance over the animal. Possession of food or a bone could be the trigger if the owner intrudes on what the dog regards as its comfort distance, something which less dominant dogs in the wild would respect. Establishing your dominance as the owner is vital.
Housesitter to the rescue - it’s twins! Emergency house-sitter needed A FEW times a year people reach out to us with an emergency request for pet-sitters. Two weeks ago, a new homeowner contacted us with a very urgent request. Her daughter who lives in Southampton, England, was about to have twins early and wanted her Mum.

BEWARE: Some barking dogs do bite.
A dog might see other humans, especially those who enter its territory or home, as a threat or there may simply be nervousness about the unfamiliar. This could result in the relatively mild reaction of mouthing the hand which is stretched out or there might be a more aggressive reaction, preceded by growling with hair erect, tail upright, baring teeth and even snarling. The dog will stare at the visitor between the eyes. The safest thing to do in these circumstances is to avoid eye contact and stand absolutely still and tall until
Pet pigs PIGS are increasingly popular as pets. However, it’s not the same as having a dog or a cat and it is necessary to think it through before taking this step. People can think pigs are dirty and smelly, but this simply isn’t true. To keep your dirty pig clean all you need to do is bath it every so often. They are also quite intelligent animals and are able to remember and memorise some commands. They can be walked on a leash and can be very affectionate animals with their owner. However, it is best if you have a house with a garden or access to a public park with land since pigs do need to dig.
rescued by the owner. Sometimes there is no apparent reason for a dog’s aggression. An aggressive reaction to someone not belonging to the pack can be triggered by a sudden movement of the head, body, arms or feet. Dogs with elderly owners with slow movements can react differently to those with younger owners. Finally, aggression towards children can be a very serious matter and we’ll look that in more detail next week.

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

THE world’s very first off-road electric supercar, the MISS-R, has been sighted while out testing in an off-road setting. Taiwanese giants XING Mobility are responsible for making the MISS-R supercar, which was revealed at the AutoTronics show in Taipei earlier this month, and the car has been mooted as potentially becoming the fastest production car in the world. It has also been claimed that the impressive supercar, which boasts a staggering 1.341bhp, can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 1.8 seconds, thanks to the car’s unique system. The supercar has four 350V motors, which the company are marketing as the first of its kind and are able to tackle a range of harsh terrains. Another of the supercar’s features is a one megawatt battery pack, which alongside the motors has led the company to claim the car will be able to reach 0-190km/h in just 5.1 seconds. The top-of-the-range supercar also has an ‘immersive-cooled battery pack’ which is in place in the hope of preventing the car

The MISS-ing link First off-road electric supercar spotted testing from overheating when reaching top speeds. Alongside the MISS-R, XING Mobility are also reportedly currently working with both commercial and industrial vehicle makers in the hope of applying the technology created for the off-road supercar in other
vehicles including buses, special-purpose boats, ride-sharing scooters and even construction equipment. XING Mobility co-founder and CTO, Azizi Tucker, told the company’s website: “The commercial vehicle market is primed for a conversion to electric dri-
vetrains due to functional needs, increasing emissions requirements and public noise reduction. “However, this market is currently extremely under-served with many electric vehicle technology manufacturers focusing only on passenger vehicles.” CREDIT: XING Mobility/Twitter

WORLD FIRST: XING Mobility’s MISS-R has been seen testing. A BMW formerly owned by Prince William’s godfather, Prince Constantine of Greece is set go up for auction for a world record price. The vintage BMW 507 Roadster was first owned by the Prince in 1959, becoming one of the most stylish cars of the era and is valued at a staggering €2.5 million (£2.2 million). Only 252 of the 507 Roadster
Fit for royalty were made and celebrities including Fred Astaire and Elvis Presley were known to own models of the popular BMW. If the classic, fit with a V8 engine capable of reaching 120mph, sells for its estimated value, then it will break the current record for a BMW 507 by
more than €1.1million (£1 million). A Bonhams’ official told British media: “Celebrity or Royal provenance always increases interest in a car, and often indicates that it has been well looked after. “We are hopeful that such an interesting history will draw some keen buyers. “It was owned by Constantine II until 1961 before it was sold to a Greek owner in 1961. “It’s in fantastic condition and was beautifully restored 30 years ago. “It still looks like new and has a beautiful dark leather interior that has hardly any wear, but still looks authentic.”

Real aiming for Atletico by Benjamin Park REAL MADRID will look to move to within one point of Atletico Madrid on Saturday as they take on Leganes. Real, who have not lost since a surprise 1-0 defeat to Espanyol in February, had to rely on a late Cristiano Ronaldo flick to rescue a point against Athletic Bilbao to keep them in the running for second place. And the Madrid giants can now move to within just one point of their bitter rivals on Saturday, after Atletico were comfortably beaten 3-0 by Real Sociedad on Thursday before being held to a 0-0 draw by Real Betis on Sunday. Los Rojiblancos can immediately move back to four points clear of Real though if they beat Alaves on Sunday, but their Madrid rivals will still have a game in hand. Elsewhere, Barcelona will

ON THE MARCH: Real can move to within just a point of Atletico on Saturday. look to extend their record unbeaten run to 41 La Liga games as they travel to Deportivo La Coruña on Sunday. The Catalans cruised to their third consecutive Copa del Rey title on Saturday as goals from Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi, Philippe Coutinho and a Luis Suarez double gave them a 5-0 win over Sevilla. They survived a late on-
slaught with 10 men in their last La Liga match against Celta Vigo to maintain a 2-2 draw. Deportivo however have found a good run of form recently, with two wins and two draws in their last four and are now the only side in the bottom three that can mathematically still survive, following Las Palmas’ and Malaga’s rel-
egation at the weekend. However, a loss to the champions-elect, coupled with a win for Levante against Sevilla tomorrow (Friday), would all but consign them to the Segunda division. If Levante do achieve a result against seventh-placed Sevilla, who are without a win in their last six La Liga matches, then that could pave the way for Real Betis’ qualification to next season’s Europa League. Betis have dropped just two points from their last 18 available and face already relegated Malaga knowing that a win would move them to 59 points, 11 clear of Sevilla and all but guaranteeing their position in next year’s Europa League. In the weekend’s other fixtures, Getafe face Girona, Villarreal host Celta Vigo, Real Sociedad face and Espanyol play Las Palmas.
Premier League preview
MANCHESTER UNITED will look to follow up their dominant FA Cup semi-final display against Tottenham as they host their North London rivals Arsenal on Sunday. The Red Devils made it through to a record-equalling 20th FA Cup final thanks to goals from Alexis Sanchez and Ander Herrera, who cancelled out Dele Alli’s goal. They now host Arsenal looking to move clear of Liverpool in third, with Arsenal wanting to give manager Arsene Wenger a fitting swansong period after he announced that he would be stepping down at the end of the season after almost 22 years in charge. The match will also see Alexis Sanchez, named Man of the Match on Saturday, come up against his old side for the first time since his January move to Old Trafford. Elsewhere, Manchester City will look to continue their quest for a record points total as they head to struggling West Ham. The Champions ran riot in a 5-0 win against Swansea on Sunday, with goals from David Silva, Raheem Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus taking the Champions to within just five points of equalling Chelsea’s record from the 2004/5 season with four games to go. They will look to make the most of West Ham’s struggles this season, who fell to their 15th loss of the season in the 4-1 defeat at Arsenal last weekend. On Saturday, West Brom can be officially relegated from the Premier League if they fail to beat Newcastle. The Baggies have put on spirited performances in recent weeks, following up their 1-0 victory against Manchester United two weeks ago with a courageous 2-2 draw against Liverpool on Saturday, having come back from 2-0 down. But it seems to be too little too late for Darren Moore’s side as they face a rejuvenated Newcastle side who have

Marquez rules in Texas again
FORM: Manchester United will look to build on their FA Cup semi-final win. lost just once in their last five games, knowing only a win, by a considerable margin, will give them a slim hope of survival. Their fate will be taken out of their hands completely if Swansea manage to get a result at home to Chelsea in Saturday’s late kick off. The Swans currently sit four points above the drop zone and a result against last season’s Champions will give them real breathing space between themselves and the bottom three. In the weekend’s other fixtures, Huddersfield face Everton, Crystal Palace host Leicester, Burnley take on Brighton, Southampton play Bournemouth and Tottenham host Watford at Wembley on Monday.
SPANIARD Marc Marquez won his sixth consecutive MotoGP of the Americas as he came back from a three-spot penalty to win. The two-time defending World Champion eventually finished a huge 3.5 seconds ahead of fellow

CONSISTENT: The victory took Marquez to within just one point of championship leader Dovizioso.
Spaniard, Maverick Vinales of Yamaha in second, while Suzuki’s Anrea Iannone finished in third, 6.7 seconds off Marquez’s pace. Vinales’ Movistar teammate, Valentino Rossi, suffered another disappointing display as he could only finish in fourth. Marquez was demoted to fourth place from pole prior to the Texas race as he was penalised for blocking Vinales, but immediately began his ascent back to the top on turn one behind Iannone. However, the Suzuki man’s lead was also short-lived as Marquez had returned to the top by turn 12 of the first lap and did not look back. The Spaniard enjoyed an untroubled race from that point onwards, finishing with a convincing time-gap between himself and Vinales to win.

Spanish players banned after row with referee FIVE Spanish rugby players have been banned for a total of 121 weeks for their actions in the aftermath of last month’s World Cup Qualifier against Belgium. Spanish tempers flared over at the end of the match after players felt many decisions in their 18-10 loss had gone against them, with several players confronting Romanian referee Vlad Iordachescu at the final whistle. Spain subsequently lodged a formal complaint to Rugby Europe, after the result ensured Romania a spot at next year’s World Cup, with governing body World Rugby later expressing it was ‘deeply concerned’ by the matter. But Rugby Europe has now announced varying lengths of

Los Boquerones held their own for most of the game, enjoying more than half of the possession and created several clear-cut chances in the first half. But they were undone with one of the final kicks of the match as Sasa Lukic squared the ball to Emmanuel Boateng just a few yards out and he had the simplest of tap-ins to con-

Record breaker Nadal claims third consecutive Monte Carlo Masters RAFAEL NADAL claimed his 11th Monte Carlo Masters title as he beat Japan’s Kei Nishikori in straight sets. It took the 31-year-old just 94 minutes to dispatch the World Number 36, Kei Nishikori, in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2 as Nadal raced to his third consecutive title in Monte Carlo and a record 31st Masters 1000 title. The victory, which saw him pick up his 36th straight set victory on clay, will also mean that Nadal will remain as World Number One ahead of Roger Federer. Following his victory, the Spaniard told the media: “It’s always special for me to be back here, having this trophy. It’s one of the most important events of the year for me.” Nadal, who returned from an injured hip in the Davis Cup ear-

Malaga started the game on the front foot and could have gone ahead in the 18th minute as the former West Brom striker had a free header in the box, but the Nigerian could only direct his header straight into the gloves of Levante keeper Oier. Los Boquerones kept up the
pressure and had another great chance six minutes later as Gonzalo Castro smashed a leftfooted volley from outside the box, but it was too close to Oier and he managed to punch the ball clear. Chances were few and far between for the rest of the first half but Levante upped the pressure in the second and could have taken the lead as
Roger was played in behind the Malaga defence and managed to get round Malaga keeper Roberto, but could not catch the ball as it ran out of play.

But the pressure soon subsided as Nadal immediately broke back and then raced clear to take the first set, before quickly breaking in the second to take a 2-1 lead. And the Spaniard ultimately proved too much for the Japanese star, who only returned from a long injury lay-off in January, as he soon broke again to claim victory and the perfect preparation for next month’s French Open. “I want to thank all my team and my family. We had some tough moments during the past five months after a couple of injuries in a row,” Nadal continued.

Today, the entire team wants to reach out to all Malaguistas and tell them that we feel we have failed them. “Malaga CF is a feeling. I’ve known this well since I was a boy. All the players, who are here for any length of time, are left with this feeling that they never forget.”
