LARGE parts of Almuñecar were plunged into darkness after the town experienced its first power outage this summer last Saturday. The La Herradura area of the town was without electricity for much of the night. Members of the local leftleaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) have since called on local authorities to improve Almuñecar’s electricity grid. The town’s urbanism spokesperson, Jose Manuel Fernandez, said the outage was due to the replacing of a power line running from Calle La Carrera to Calle Guadix. “We hope that further planned line changes and updates to the power system will bring us a solution to future power outages,” he said. Senior members of the local PSOE said further power cuts would have a ‘disastrous’ effect on the tourists’ image of Almuñecar. “We cannot allow another summer of blackouts, which is far from what we understand by tourist excellence,” the local PSOE’s general secretary Rocio Palacios said. “Neighbours, businesspeople and hoteliers have suffered again from the consequences of the inefficient electricity network and from lack of a solution from the local authority,” he added.

OFF ROAD FURY: The car careered along the beach for around 250 metres.

Beach crashers By Joe Gerrard LOCAL POLICE officers were called out to a beach in Rincon de la Victoria after three British tourists were spotted driving on the sand. The two men and one pregnant woman had reportedly come onto the beach, near the Plaza Miguel Cerezo, in their four-by-four from a junction off Calle Limonero last week. Onlookers filmed the car

as it swerved among bathers and beachgoers. Footage showed it appearing to drive chaotically in one direction before turning towards the sea and coming back the opposite way over a distance of around 250 metres. Several witnesses called emergency services and Local Police officers were despatched to stop the Range Rover Evoque. Some beachgoers said it took them more than 40 min-

utes to arrive, with police sources stating they arrived 11 minutes after receiving their first call. Officers issued an on-thespot fine of €500 to the dri-

ver of the vehicle who paid it via bank card at the scene. He claimed they were trying to reach Vueva del Tesoro in the El Cantal area of the town.

Migrants rescued THE National Police has transferred 116 migrants to the Motril sports centre, who had been rescued on Monday by the Spanish Maritime Rescue service. There was a lack of space in the Temporary Foreigner Care Centre and another 53 migrants arrived in a boat the following day. Since last Saturday, more than 200 people have arrived on the Granada coast, having been assisted by the Maritime Rescue service to Motril port. The town’s sports centre has been reopened specifically to shelter the migrants, who had been rescued from three boats in different parts of the Alboran sea. There were also 14 women, several children and a baby among them, and several NGOs are on hand to provide care.

RAINBOW ROAD: A scene from the final parade in central Madrid.

Bursting with pride IT is the biggest Pride celebration in Europe. And the 2018 Madrid Orgullo was particularly special after an estimated two million revellers flocked to the capital to mark the 40th anniversary of the first authorised LGBT demonstration in Spain. Organised by the Homosexual Liberation Front of

Castilla, it took place when ‘homosexual acts’ were still criminalised. The 10-day festivities ended with a spectacular giant parade through the city’s streets, while the opening march, this year dubbed ‘Conquering equality, TRANSforming society,’ was for the first time led by two government ministers.

Dog beach opens AUTHORITIES in Torrox have designated a stretch of coastline as open to dogs. The dog-friendly beach is the seventh in Malaga Province, joining those of San Pedro de Alcantara, Marbella, Mijas-Fuengirola, Rincon de Victoria and Torre del Mar. Oscar Medina, the mayor of Torrox, said authorities made the 300-metre stretch of coast dog friendly in response to demand.

“For several years we have been carrying out the relevant procedures with other administrations so that a tourist town like Torrox can have a dog beach,” he said. “Its location at the mouth of the Torrox River is unbeatable,” he added. The opening of the beach was attended by more than 200 locals, with authorities handing out 500 disposable bags for them to clean up after their pets.

EWN online this week WATERY GRAVE: A piece of the wreckage and (inset) a US Air Force photo showing the attack on U-996.

Nazi sub found THREE Spanish divers have found the wreckage of a German Second World War U-boat off the coast of northern Spain. The crew blew the U996 vessel up using timed charges after it was badly damaged by Allied bombers in November 1943. Eight of the 52 men on board died trying to reach the shore near Estaco de Bares, a peninsula in La Coruña Province, Galicia. The desperate move came after US Navy and RAF Liberator bombers targeted the submarine for an entire day, with one plane, believed to be an RAF Caralina flying boat, shot down by its anti-aircraft gun. One RAF Wellington bomber also joined the battle and dropped depth charges before the crew scuttled their ship. Naval historian Yago Abilleira, who was part of the team which unearthed the wreck after years of searching, said U-966 was abandoned “in desperation, as Allied planes were attacking them on all sides and they

knew time was running out.” Its remains were found scattered over a wide rocky area at a depth of 24-26 metres, and the men are now aiming to find the Allied plane which they think lies close to the submarine. The precise location will not be revealed since it constitutes a war grave. Three local fishing boats reportedly saved some of the German crew after they were found clinging to offshore rocks. The U-boat, nicknamed Gut Holz (Good Wood), was returning from a mission in North America when it came under attack on November 10, 1943 having been launched just 10 months earlier. Commander Eckehard Wolf flew to Germany a year later under a false name, according to German website Ubootarchive.de. Spain’s fascist leader at the time, the dictator Francisco Franco, is also thought to have helped other members of the crew return home.

Sanchez and Torres aim to achieve ‘normalcy’ at talks SPAIN’S Prime Minister has received the President of Cataluña in Madrid for talks which aim to restore normal relations between authorities following the recent push for the region’s independence. Pedro Sanchez and Quim Torra were photographed outside the Prime Minister’s official resident of La Moncloa smiling and shaking hands for a photo call last Monday. Torra said on Twitter ahead of the visit he wanted to explain to the Prime Minister the ‘very serious’ situation he claimed the Spanish state had created in Cataluña. His ambition was to try to reach a solution with Sanchez as the region continues to be embroiled in the fallout from last year’s independence referendum and declaration. Sanchez wrote on the social media site in Catalan and Spanish: “A political crisis requires a political solution. This meeting is a constructive starting point for the normalisation of relations.” He added the two leaders had decided to take steps towards returning Cataluña and Spain to ‘normalcy’ along the lines of cooperation and understanding. Torra, a member of the proindependence Junts per Cataluña party, also reportedly wanted to continue advancing the cause of the region’s selfdetermination. Spanish government officials spent the weekend before the meeting playing down the topic as a subject for discussion in interviews and ruling out a second, legallysanctioned referendum on self-rule.

PM safe this week? JUST when it seemed that the British government had reached a modicum of agreement over the Brexit plans, first David Davis and then Boris Johnson decided to resign from the cabinet. There were rumours that the influential 1922 committee of Conservative backbenchers were considering calling for a vote of no confidence in Prime Minister May but those opposing her did not find 48 MPs prepared to sign such a declaration. At the end of the day it appears that the Tories are more interested in trying to influence the final Brexit deal from within rather than deciding to tear the minority government apart when there is still so much to do before March 2019. Two voices which had been strident in calling for Brexit, Liam Fox and Michael Gove have kept relatively low profiles during the last week with Gove actually saying that he is 100 per cent behind Mrs May’s Brexit plan (if he was talking about a football manager, you would know that they were about to be sacked). Tellingly, the four arguably most important positions in government, Prime Minister, Chancellor, Foreign Secretary and Home Secretary are now all held by MPs who voted to Remain so to some extent it would appear that a softer exit is now possible. Having said that, both Davis and Johnson are now likely to be more voluble about their opposition to the plans and Jacob Rees Mogg has made it clear that not only is he opposed to the plan, but thinks Boris Johnson would make an excellent Prime Minister. As the saying goes, watch this space!

PERSONAL claims firms are preying on holidaymakers at airport arrival gates in a bid to whip up a compensation storm for flight delays. Those who fall for their schemes could lose hundreds of pounds despite being able to claim what they are owed for free. Passengers are entitled to statutory compensation of up to â‚Ź600 if their plane lands more than three hours late. They can easily make the claim themselves for free via the airline, but claims firms have spotted a sly opportunity to do the chasing on their behalf. The agents catch weary passengers on their way through arrivals halls - urging them to fill out forms on the spot - which they then take to the airlines.

Claims firms fly off with cash

FLIGHT FRIGHT: Many claimants are unaware that they will not receive the full amount. However, many claims firms help themselves to a big chunk of the final payout (in the smallprint), sometimes over 40 per cent. The scourge has been on the rise in the past 18 months as agents hunt for alternatives to payment protection insurance (PPI) claims, which are being clamped down on.

The problem is aggravated by the failure of many airlines to inform passengers of their entitlement to apply for compensation directly. Passengers whose flights are cancelled should be booked on other flights and compensated for the resulting delay in their arrival, or given a full refund.

TSB chairman Richard Meddings recently told the Treasury Select Committee that only 29 per cent of complaints received in nine weeks since the botched upgrade took place had been resolved. And an unnamed senior figure added that TSB has paid €2.25 million to customers for the inconvenience and a further €13.5 million to those defrauded in the wake of the blunder.

Sabadell paid around €1.6 billion to acquire TSB in 2015 in what was seen as a key move for the group to reduce reliance on the Spanish market. TSB said in a statement: “Our absolute focus is on fixing the remaining issues, and we are working together with Sabadell to achieve this. We have made a firm commitment that no customer will be left out of pocket as a result of the recent IT issues and no complaint will go unanswered. We are working hard to do this as quickly as possible.”

EIB to fork out €100m in deal THE European Investment Bank (EIB) has inked a €100 million deal with Spanish car interior firm Antolin Group. Part of the European Fund for Strategic Investments, the cash will be used to develop new lightweight components for the next generation of energy-efficient, connected and autonomous vehicles. EIB Vice-President Emma Navarro said: “As the EU bank, we are pleased to support a project fostering innovation investment in a key sector for the European economy, while also promoting highly skilled employment.”

Outrage as Spanish wine sold as French

» BUSINESS EXTRA

Motorists not fuelled BETWEEN January and June only 37 per cent of the 735,000 new cars sold in Spain were powered by diesel engines, a year-on-year decrease of 13 per cent, with 57.2 per cent petrol, the Spanish Association of Car and Truck Manufacturers said.

Fare game GRAPE DIVIDE: France’s wine industry is furious over the scandal. UP to 4.6 million bottles of Spanish rose wine have been mislabelled as French and sold in bars, hotels and restaurants, according to investigators. The findings come in the wake of a two-year probe into the wine trade by France’s antifraud directorate. And while most wine was correctly labelled, as much as 3.45 million litres of Spanish plonk was ‘disguised.’ The typical ploy was to stick

French flags on the bottles with labels including ‘Produced in France’ and ‘Bottled in France.’ Remi Dumas, head of the young wine-producers organisation in the Herault region in southern France, said: “For those who wonder why we demonstrate, for all the wineproducers who aren’t bothered by our calls for protest! Consumers open your eyes! 10m [sic] bottles of fake rose from Spain.”

SPANISH on-demand transport firm Cabify has said it ‘categorically denies’ talks over a €2.5 billion sale to US-based Lyft after Spanish media reported the pair were negotiating a deal.

Going postal THE European Commission has ordered Spain’s state postal company Correos to repay €166 million of ‘excessive compensation’ it received from the country’s government from 2004-2010, according to reports.

Octopus market squids in SPANISH diners are up in arms over the soaring price of octopus. The delicacy has become increasingly expensive recently and is currently selling wholesale for up to €10.25, a 26 per cent jump from last year and 45 per cent more than in 2016, according to industry data. In the north of Spain, depleted stocks and re-

duced quotas have seen demand outstrip supply, whereas in Mediterranean provinces catches have remained similar while the market has grown. And the predicament has reportedly seen suppliers and restaurateurs turn to foreign octopus to make up the deficit, with much of the tentacle treat served in eateries now sourced from Morocco, Mauritania and Portugal.

What ‘British’ education system? LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT DO the authorities have any control whatsoever over what is being taught to our vulnerable children who are the very future of the country? By some of the evidence offered up to the British courts of late, it would appear not. This latest legal slop of drivelling nonsense truly does take the whole, anti-British values tin. Rapist Adil Rashid was recently spared jail because he claimed, ‘he was not aware it was illegal to have sex with a 13-year-old girl.’ He maintained that his education left him ‘ignorant of British law!’ He was also the piece of trash that told investigators he had been taught that ‘women were no more worthy than a lollipop that had been dropped on the ground.’ Disregarding the fact that yet another Judge has passed a sentence that is so extraordinary it hovers on the borders of judicial insanity, it got me to thinking ‘just what exactly is going on in the schools of the UK?’ Surely education establishments are legally required to follow some sort of general guidelines that reflect the laws and traditions of the country they are allowed to operate in? Well,

PARADISE: Leapy has a new assistant in the house. don’t hold yer breath. I tried to research it all and believe me it is a complete mishmash of organisations; all apparently empowered to carry out inspections by agreements with the department of education. All have their pompous titles represented by initials (BSI, DSI, SIS, ISI). I didn’t exactly unearth ISIS but it’s probably in there somewhere!

Did I hear someone mention Ofsted? Don’t bother. Of the schools that are supposed to be under the jurisdiction of this main governmental body, many had not been inspected for up to seven years! So, rest easy all of you. Islamic schools all over the country are operating unsupervised, unchecked and happily teaching a whole new generation of youngsters a completely differ-

ent culture, religion and future set of values to regale you all with. When they all leave these learning establishments, and go out into your world with these totally alien attitudes toward British life, the answer is simple, all you have to do is integrate! After all, the snowflakes have been recommending integration for years. Well, in the not too distant future they may finally get their wish. Just not quite sure this reversed integration was actually what they had in mind. Still, a happy Sharia to you all. And good luck! Thanks for all your birthday wishes this week. Still can’t quite believe that with the lifestyle I have led I have managed to get this far. One thing this year’s event did bring into my life was the introduction of a new woman. Her name is Alexa. She does everything she’s told, caters to my every (verbal) whim and shuts-up the second I instruct her to. Paradise! If they could just give her some resemblence of the female form my Utopia would be complete! Oh, I dunno though. Still can’t quite beat the real thing, can you!? Interesting to see my new British licence bears the Union Jack. Looks pretty good to me. Keep the Faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

WHENEVER there’s a couple of weeks of extreme weather in the UK, the red tops are full of scare stories predicting that this is the way it’s going to be from now on with the usual dire consequences. You know: ‘Health authorities have warned that extreme summer heat is set to become the norm, and that we need to get better at preparing for it.’ Health authorities? The norm? Based on what science? What data? What evidence? A few old tea leaves, the eye of a toad and a bloodied rabbit’s foot? Or maybe the same technique for weather forecasting that Great Aunt Ethel used. Go to the beach, bring back a long bit of seaweed, hang it up outside and examine it every day. If it’s dripping wet, it’s raining; if it’s wet but not dripping it has rained. If it looks whitish, it’s frosty. If it looks white, it’s been snowing. If you can’t see it, there’s fog. It it’s dry, it’s fine but if it shrivels up and drops there’s a drought. However, if it’s brown and burnt-looking when it drops, there’s been a heatwave. Infallible! Recent British summers have been rub-

Advertising Feature AS the weather gets warmer and the sea not always too friendly due to jellyfish, the ideal place to cool off for all the family is Aquavelis. Situated in Torre del Mar, this water park is a must visit for families with children and if you just want to cool down and have fun than children aren’t an entry requirement. Apart from the huge pools which include one with exciting waves, the options for watery adventures are numerous. Along one wall of the park you can find the Kamikaze, which is an 80-metre downhill drop at speed, then the Foam Run which is much slower but still great fun. These are followed by the Multi Racer where you can go head down on a ‘toboggan’ at high speed. Ride number four is the Tirabuzon, a twisting tube which is all about speed and fun and next to that is another Toboggan run and then Rio Rapido. If that isn’t enough excitement then go over to the Espiral and the

HEATWAVE: The UK is preparing for another scorcher this summer. bish - a few rays of sunshine, lots of cloud, too much rain - accompanied by the inevitable media reports predicting decades without ‘real summers.’ Some years ago, there was a run of mild winters with the red tops sounding off about kids in Britain never getting to make snowballs or see frost on trees. A week or more of hot, cold, wet or windy weather isn’t conclusive proof of some imminent and long lasting shift in the UK’s climate. It’s always been variable! So, for those of you over there, this isn’t

a heatwave ... it’s called summer. Enjoy it while it lasts. Phew! A few weeks without rain? Soon enough there’ll be drought warnings, hosepipe bans and, inevitably, an increase in those water bills ...

LEGALLY SPEAKING Was Horizontal Law broken? Can you tell me if the HPL is within the Spanish Civil Code? If this Law is continually broken over many years, what remedy is there via the courts? There is a mass of evidence to show that the law has been abused or ignored. I am not referring to decisions which are disputed, but to serious breaches of this law that is supposed to regulate Communities of Owners. M C (Costa Blanca) The Law of David Searl Horizontal You and the Law Property is not within in Spain the Spanish Civil Code, whi ch i s t he gener al body of regulatory law. The Horizontal Law is a separate body of rules that regulates Communities of Property Owners. If you have evidence that your Community, by votes at the AGM or by the actions of its officers, has broken this law, you need to consult a Spanish lawyer who is experienced in the affairs of communities. The lawyer can steer you through any complications. Even one owner alone can bring legal action against the Community. If you can gather a group of owners to share the expenses and the problems that may arise, this will be to your advantage.

SINGSONG: Researchers found brain activity in the birds’ sleep was similar to when they sing.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20)

Trivia from around the world *** The name for the country Norway has its origins in an earlier name Nordweg, which means the Northern Way. *** Indonesia is one of a handful of countries dubbed ‘megadiverse’ due to the vast amount of different animals and plants there.

*** Suriname in South America is the only territory outside of Europe where the majority of people speak Dutch. *** The Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro in the Ivory Coast is the largest church in the world. It covers an area of around 30,000 square metres.

*** Although alcoholic drinks are banned in Saudi Arabia, there is said to be a cottage industry of amateur beer and wine making among the expatriate community there. *** Baldwin Street in Dunedin in New Zealand is the world’s steepest street. It has a 38 per cent grade at its steepest part.

DID YOU KNOW? Songbirds rehearse their melodies by singing in their sleep, according to a study. Researchers examined the electrical brain activity of zebra finches and found they dream about singing possibly to help them rehearse their repertoire. Scientists working on the study said the findings could help us learn more about the role of sleep in learning and how people pick up languages.

For some time, things on the romantic front have been confusing, to say the least. There are decisions that someone has to make that affect you seriously. Romantically and emotionally, things come to a head but don’t let the wind of change blow away all that you have achieved. Don’t begin to doubt yourself or others will, too.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) You may well feel that your business life is not going as well as you would have hoped this week. They do say that you can’t have everything right at once. This is a good time to enjoy the company of others and make your love life buzz.

‘

All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances and one man in his time plays many parts. His acts are in seven stages.” William Shakespeare, playwright

There is something of the rebel in you this week. Even you don’t fully understand the changes taking place. You will resist any attempt to stop from expressing yourself freely. Although you prefer a peaceful time, it may be necessary to remind someone of your rights.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Solo traveller ‘privilege’ Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man WHY do single travellers get treated like second class citizens? They always get the worst seat in the restaurant. I travel a bit on my own and they always want to stick me in the corner or somewhere out the way. The dumb thing is that I am still given a table for two but always the worst one. My way round that is, of course, to say I’m waiting for a friend. I then tell them, after looking at the menu for a bit that my friend just cancelled and I just order. The waiter isn’t going to say, ‘OK, then we have to move you to the kitchen or give you a toilet view.’ Oh, and you can’t order paella either! Book most holidays and you find the phrase somewhere ‘based on two people sharing’ then further down you will find the single person supplement. Having to fork out for the ‘privilege’ of travelling solo can feel frustrating - not to mention downright unfair. It can seem as though you are being penalised for holidaying on your own. Hoteliers and cruise ships will view singletons as less profitable, as only one person will spend money on food, drinks, goods and en-

tertainment, where there could be two people spending money. My advice is just don’t suffer any of it. There are ways round it. Don’t just do as you’re told by the people you are giving money to for a service. If they want to charge you more or give you a bad table just say ‘no thanks’ and if they don’t give you something better just take your business elsewhere. Body lotion! There is too much body lotion in the world. I opened our bathroom cupboard and there were bottles of it. I asked Mrs S why and she couldn’t give me an answer because she claims she has never bought a single bottle and I certainly haven’t. So we decided it must have been included in gift sets that have been accumulated over the years. We must have 20 bottles of all different makes. I have to admit I use a face cream every day. But body lotion? OK maybe a bit of after sun now and again but body lotion - who can be bothered? I bet everyone, or at least couples or ladies, have bottles and bottles of the stuff that either has never been opened or which has been used once. Go check and if you find some chuck it away because you are never going to use it! If you do buy someone a gift set, and it has body lotion in it, ask if it can be changed for another shampoo or shower gel, or anything, but not BODY LOTION! mikesenker@gmail.com

What’s happening to Mijas Pueblo? vTHIS is the most beautiful village and the Spanish people are warm and friendly to people from other countries, who live and visit here. Unfortunately I have noticed a decline in standards which may put tourists off visiting this unique village. Mijas sells itself by the way it looks and if it falls short in this department then people will not visit as much and this will harm the Mijas economy. The fountains which grace Virgen de la Pena square are not working and the lift has been out of order for months. There is not even an out of order sign in Spanish and English informing all residents of this appalling fact. Much as I enjoy seeing the excellent flamenco dancers of all ages in the village doing fantastic concerts free of charge, my husband and I specifically extended our stay this year to see the excellent music concerts in the auditorium. For no apparent reason these are not taking place and everyone I talk to is very disappointed about this. I hope they can go ahead in the following

year. We are pleased that the Blues Festival is happening, as that will be well attended. As a tax payer in Mijas Pueblo I feel that I am justified in raising these important issues. In the past I have written to the mayor and received no acknowledgement, as well as not seeing any action being taken on the issues raised, which is disappointing. Sue Butler-Smith, Mijas

Think about neighbours MY family and I live in Benalmadena Pueblo which is a beautiful Spanish village. Our villa is in a very quiet residential urbanisation consisting of families with children, retired and working couples of Spanish and other European nationalities. We have lived here in this small cul de sac for the past 18 years, but as always, things change and two years ago both the neighbouring

BALLOONS: Have been used in the past. I HOPE that this September for the Gibraltar National Day celebration people are not going to release thousands of balloons again. It is not just a criminal waste of the much-needed rare earth gas helium which is vital for body scanners, etc. The balloons themselves become plastic waste in the sea which then ends up being eaten by fish, whales, sea birds etc and kills them in huge numbers. This is happening across the world now, even in inaccessible places and is not a cause for celebration. Michael Hill, Torre del Mar

Riot police used in Benidorm’s ‘guiri zone’ If you see riot police why would you bait them. Get out of the way. We are in Spain... Not England. The Spanish police won’t tolerate yobbish behaviour!!!! Anne Blandford Who is baiting them in this video Anne? The man who is simply walking with his son on his shoulders and is struck by a police officer? I’m sorry but I cannot justify behaviour like that by a n y b o d y, l e a s t o f a l l a p o l i c e o f f i c e r w h o i s supposed to be a highly trained professional in order to know better. What if that strike by the baton had sent the guy to his knees and the child had fallen to the ground? A shameful spectacle in my opinion. Stacey Knight He is very obviously baiting them (very responsible parent NOT!!!) and the whole mob were confrontational as soon as they got a chance! Conveniently the filming doesn’t show what’s going on behind ie mob shouting,taunting and pushing forward towards the riot police ... perhaps leave them to do their jobs ... drive and walk on and you won’t get any trouble would be the preferred intellectual option ... You’re in someone else’s country show respect, abide by the rules or pay the consequences? For the love of God they were lucky to only get

pancy, the paying quests are either a large family group with small children or a large group of adults. We cannot use our garden because of the noise in the day time or we cannot sleep because of the unruly drunken behaviour. The village already has numerous motels, hotels and dedicated holiday apartments. We have approached the property management company and spoken with the owners, but little has changed. We are told that if the situation gets too bad, contact the police! It is not just my family who are affected by these greedy property owners, as all the people in the surrounding villas are affected by the noise and disruption. John, Benalmadena Pueblo

Comments from EWN online a smack on the legs, try that in America or the Middle East and see how well you come off ... Everyone else managed to walk on by peacefully and get on with their business and the police had complete control of the streets and the situation which is their job remember. Unfortunately the opposite in the UK have lost control of the streets in England and hence why people are fearful and don’t feel safe or protected particularly in cities ... totally unacceptable! I abhor this aggressive attitude and behaviour at home so find it embarrassing and shameful to see it misrepresenting us abroad sadly. Minority ruining it for other respectable people. Audrey Gallagher We were up there last night the police were well over the top as per. Everyone was enjoying themselves having a great time. I live in Spain so am used to their no nonsense attitude but last night they wanted trouble. Richard Seamark

If I was the police I think I would be agitated confronted with loads of people flanking me on either side and following behind and why on earth would a father with his child on his shoulders be following the police, why wasn’t he walking in the opposite direction if a full scale fight had broken out, how safe does he think his son would have been? Coral Simpson Tasker

Ryanair to grind to a halt during July due to strikes Maybe they should treat their staff a bit better. Happy, well-treated staff rarely strike as they will lose money. Matt Birks I always say never again with Ryanair... then I can’t get a reasonable flight with anyone else and I think one more try... to be fair the French air traffic people don’t help either! It is maddening to have such a hassle when your just going for a short break. S a d f o r t h e h o l i d a y m a ke r s w i t h c h i l d r e n I think... Helen Mary Anderson

I PURCHASED an additional apar t m ent t hat had been abandoned for several years. The com m uni t y had al r eady arranged for the installation of new smart meters. I paid my lawyer €300 to organise the reinstallation of the electricity to the apartment. Then to my horror, my first bill, without any electric being used, was for €572.01. I questioned this cost with my lawyer, and they went back to suppliers Endesa, only to be told that, that is the cost of reinstallation. So in a nut shell, to reconnect electric to my new apartment has cost me €872.01. I am appalled at these fees, and think it is daylight robbery. Lynette Awcock, Costa Blanca

A plea to dog owners WHILST humans can do a great deal to resolve the situation if they are too hot, all a dog can do is pant to circulate the necessary air through their bodies to cool down. They do sweat through their paws but in this very hot weather, the pavements can cause them pain as they don’t wear shoes. Give them plenty to drink and ensure that they are kept in a well-ventilated area (not a locked car). Anita Brown, Casares

PAIN RELIEF: A hip replacement is often the only option.

FRESH AIR: Major study findings probably surprise nobody.

Healthy outdoor lifestyle ANYONE living in Spain will probably be among the first to agree with the following statement ... ‘spending time outside is good for you.’ This has also been backed up by a major study undertak-

en from almost 300 million people who were analysed as part of a review into the supposed benefits of nature. The researchers found that an outside lifestyle can dramatically cut the risk of type 2

Don’t nod off! WE hope you can get to the end of this article without yawning .... To yawn is an almost impossible feeling to resist and control, and yet some of the world’s top scientists are still uncertain of the biological reasons for it. In the past, there have been many theories as to why we yawn, and indeed go back as far as Hippocrates in 400BC who believed that yawning actually removed bad air from someone’s lungs before a fever. Many centuries later - in the 1600’s and 1700’s - medical professionals thought yawning increased the amount of oxygen in the blood, blood pressure, heart rate and the actual flow of blood itself. In more recent times, the consensus has moved toward the idea that when somebody yawns, the brain cools down. Therefore, if the air temperature and indeed the temperature of the brain itself rises, the episodes of yawning increase. Actually, if the truth is known ... scientists have no idea why we yawn, but what they do know is that almost every species does it. Animals do it when they’re tired and it can often be used by some as a form of threat.

diabetes, heart disease, stress and high blood pressure. Those behind the research which has taken place over a number of years - hope that the discoveries will encourage doctors to recommend patients spend more of their time in green and open spaces. Data was studied by the University of East Anglia from 20 countries around the world, including the UK, to come up with their one sentence conclusion. Caoimhe Twohig-Bennett, a PhD student and lead author of the study, admitted they are unsure what causes the benefits found. She said: “Spending time in

nature certainly makes us feel healthier, but until now the impact on our long-term wellbeing hasn’t been fully understood. “It reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, premature death and preterm birth, and increases sleep duration.” Miss Twohig-Bennett added: “We hope that this research will inspire people to get outside more and feel the health benefits for themselves. Hopefully our results will encourage policymakers and town planners to invest in the creation, regeneration, and maintenance of parks and green spaces.”

Time for a hip-op? IF you’re experiencing pain in your hip due to an injury or arthritis, you understand the affect that it has on your everyday life. When arthritis or injuries are severe, many times your only option is to have a hip joint replacement. The hip is a ball-and-socket joint and is one of the largest joints in the body. It’s made up of the acetabulum which is the part of the pelvis bone that forms the socket and the femoral head which is the upper end of the femur that forms the ball. The surfaces of the ball-and-socket are coated with articular cartilage that provides cushioning for the joint as it moves. The synovial membrane, the tissue that surrounds the hip, creates fluid that lubricates the cartilage to reduce friction during movement. In a damaged hip, the articular cartilage becomes worn down so that the ends of the bones rub against each other without any form of cushioning. This causes a great deal of pain for the patient. There are many diseases and conditions that can cause a hip injury severe enough to warrant a hip replacement. Arthritis can cause the synovial fluid to become inflamed and results in cartilage wearing away too. If you’re dealing with severe hip pain and stiffness that persists even when at rest, you may need to undergo a hip joint replacement.

Eat Well

to Live Well by Andrew Harding LAST week I talked about diets at length, so could only include a simple recipe. This week, there will be little discussion and more recipes! When I cook I like a beer, glass of wine or this twist on a gin and tonic! • Gin and Chilli Tonic Serves 1 3 whole ice cubes 1 measure gin 1 slice lemon 1 whole red birds eye chilli pepper, sliced in 1/2 lengthways and deseeded 4 measures tonic water Place in a Highball glass in this sequence and then enjoy. Tip: Wear rubber gloves when preparing the chilli pepper. • Seared and Roasted Beef with a Pickled Walnut Sauce Serves 4 1 kg whole fillet steak 1 tablespoon black peppercorns,

Thanks to two fundraisers DOROTHY ALLEN, Royal British Legion Nerja’s Poppy Appeal organiser presented pennants to Brian Wise at El Bosque and Mark Walker at the Punta Lara Bar. They have all year round Poppy Boxes on their bars which need regular servicing and kindly donate raffle prizes for the various RBL events held for the Poppy Appeal.

Seared and roasted beef ground 1 tablespoon butter 500ml beef stock 6 whole pickled walnuts, chopped 2 tablespoons juice of pickled walnuts Coat the fillet steak in the ground black pepper and saute in the butter on all sides to seal. then the outside is cooked, place in the oven preheated to 200 Celsius (fan oven) 220 Celsius (conventional oven) and cook to personal preference. I would recommend buying a meat thermometer, which for safety’s sake is necessary to prevent food poisoning from undercooked pork, chicken and turkey. The thermometer is inserted with the tip in the middle of the steak and should read as follows: Rare: 52 Celsius Medium Rare: 57 Celsius Medium: 63 Celsius Medium Well: 66 Celsius

Well: 71 Celsius Place the beef stock, pickled walnuts and the walnut juice in a frying pan, bring to the boil and reduce in volume to one third. Serve Tip: Using a saucepan to reduce the sauce will take much longer than using a frying pan. • Mushrooms with Garlic Serves 4 1 tablespoon olive oil 4 whole garlic cloves, skinned and chopped 350 grams mushrooms, coarsely chopped 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, ground Salt to taste Place olive oil in a frying pan and saute garlic until transparent, remove garlic and reserve. Add mushrooms to the pan and saute for three or four minutes so they are still firm. Add the reserved garlic, season and serve. Tip: There are many varieties of mushrooms, the normal white supermarket ones can be slightly bland. Wild mushrooms are much better.

Happy birthday to the RAF, loose men and some gardening

TV COUCH CRITIC by Adam Whalley-Lewis IF you were able to drag yourself away from the sun lounger on Tuesday morning and caught any of BBC1’s coverage of the events to mark the Royal Air Force’s centenary, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. The Royals looked spectacular and a nod to the Duchess of Cornwall, who regularly shows us that a woman of a certain age can totally pull off an above the knee summer dress and to the Duchess of Sussex, who wore less jewellery than anyone in the Abbey and still looked spectacular, the black dress really ‘suited’ her. Sorry, couldn’t resist... There was even a comedy moment when the Archbishop of Canterbury bowed his head, complete with Mitre, with so much reverence that he nearly took Her Majesty’s head off on the way back up - are you picturing cries of ‘off with his head,’ I was. Of course the real stars of the programme were the past and present magnificent men and women in their flying machines and those who keep them up there. The flypast was lump in the throat stuff, coordinated for the BBC by Sophie Raworth, who let’s hope is paid as much as her male counterparts. While the BBC did its civic duty on Tuesday,

TECH FOR THE TIMID MY nephew asked recently: “What happens to our cloud data when there’s a thunderstorm?” My too-geeky answer about needing a Lightning connector is lost on pretty much anyone without an Apple computer which has one. But should the everyday Joe and Jose be using that fabled cloud? Just to be clear, St Peter hasn’t suddenly been surrounded by bits and bytes because ‘The Cloud’ began seeping into our tech awareness over the past 18 years or so. That’s despite any number of wacko data storage ideas which have even included internet access from balloons. ‘Cloud’ is a misnomer. Saving your precious family snaps to the cloud actually sends them somewhere far less romantic: a gigantic sprawling data-centre near Dublin, most likely, or Microsoft’s server farms in Seattle, or winging off to the monstrous Googleplex in California. Cloud storage has become possible thanks to our growing high-speed data access from our Internet Service Providers. Sceptics quite rightly see ‘The World As We Know It’ coming

FEATURE

FLOWER POWER: Jo Whiley and Joe Swift at Royal Hampton.

FLYING HIGH: A RAF Typhoon.

ITV were showing This Morning and then Loose Women. LW (as I like to call Loose Women) has reportedly recruited a chap to be on the panel. This year Robbie Williams, Paddy McGuinness, Olly Murs and John Barrowman have all been on the panel, but only as guests doing one episode. Not sure what I think about a full time bloke. It could turn the show into a Victoria Wood sketch where the man is given the potentially sensitive women’s health interview and the ladies all chat about drinking pints and the fact wolf whistling is about to become a hate crime. To be fair, Ruth and Coleen probably will cover the wolf whistle story at some point.

ITV2 is still showing Love Island... Since moving to Spain I’ve had to learn a whole new way of gardening and lost numerous timid, flowering plants whilst crying ‘but I water them every day,’ so it was a pleasure to watch BBC2’s coverage of the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show last week. I particularly enjoyed Saturday’s show and will steal the ideas about creating privacy in your garden with pride. Another programme running its course last week was BBC1’s Celebrities on the NHS Frontline, you can catch it on BBCiPlayer. I think the concept of the show was probably better than what we actually saw.

HOST WITH THE MOST: Robbie Williams on Loose Women. Can you imagine waking up in hospital and Ann Widdecombe appearing to try and find you a bed, or Michael Mosley telling you he’s not judging you, but then describing someone in rhesus as having a self-inflicted patient problem. Stacey Dooley did a better job in the cardiac unit and Jonnie Peacock shed a tear on the children’s ward. You can’t knock the idea and we can’t thank the wonderful NHS staff, my Mum amongst them, enough for what they do. Just one ask, don’t picture Ann in a nurse’s uniform you just did, didn’t you? This weekend’s TV is dominated by football and tennis. Happy viewing.

A cloud of suspicion Does every silver lining have a cloud?, wonders Terence Kennedy

THE CLOUD: 18 years and growing. to an end, come the day we suddenly can’t just click and download - better then, they say, to keep all our own data on our own storage, whether that’s hard-drives, flash sticks, increasingly-obsolescent data DVDs and CDs, or clay tablets. But there are compelling reasons

for using the cloud. Let me name the ways. * Backup: the computing ‘rule of threes’ says you should always have at least three copies of any important data, one of them ‘off-site’. If your computer breaks, or goes walkabout, your data will still be safe up there in

the cloud when you’re ready to reinstall it. And cloud services can automatically back-up everything you do. * Synchronisation: most cloud services will synchronise between any devices registered to your account. Draft the day’s documents in your office, then access them to continue at home without faffing around with flash drives. * Sharing: if you’re embarrassed sending out scads of pictures of your utterly unique pussycat to your entire address book, just put the photos in the cloud instead and let friends and family choose whether to subject themselves to your moggy or not. * Collaboration: there’s a whole free office suite in the cloud for the asking, and several people can work on the same document, which will always be up to date. Nay-sayers grumble that cloud services can be hacked. Well, so can your own computer. If your stuff really is that sensitive, just keep it on a flash drive in your underground bunker with your stash of corned beef and gas masks.

Cloud: ‘Nein’? CLOUD computing is a cirrus busi ness t hese days (sorry). Mostly, it’s free to try. Microsoft provides OneDrive free with Windows 10, for 5 GB of data. Dropbox gi ves you 2 G B f ree, while Google Drive ups the ante with a generous 15 GB to start you off. These and others hope to hook you (but mainly corporate users) into buying more storage. But free is fine for most of us. With a reasonable broadband connection, you can set most of these programs to backup everything you do automatically. Keeping copies of your data locally is also prudent of course, but com e t he crash (and it will, eventually), it’s comforting to know your precious information is still available from the cloud. As long as there’s no thunderstorm.

spreading succulent. I use it as a ground cover around taller bushes and trees. It grows quickly when planted in autumn and spreads quickly with the cooler weather and moist soil in winter. In spring it has a profusion of small, very fine white to pink flowers on long stems that look very attractive rising high above the leaves. In summer it tolerates the heat very well with minimal watering requirements. Its advantages are that it covers the soil with attractive foliage with minimal maintenance. It is not invasive as it is so easy to remove from places that you do not want them to spread to. This can be a disadvantage if you have animals in the garden that scratch or dig as the plants can be quickly damaged. A visitor to my garden, who is a professional gardener, recognised the succulent and was fascinated to see how well

They will normally recover quickly and swell up again to store the water that enables them to survive long periods without additional watering. I tend to just water the shrubs in the garden as required and the London Pride take advantage of this watering, so they are not additional work to water and the thick ground cover means that there are few weeds that can compete in the dry conditions that the London Pride can survive in summer.

Emission control in all petrol-engine variants of t h e M i n i t h r e e - d o o r, M i n i five-door and Mini Convertible, as well as the Mini Clubman and Mini Countryman, will include a particulate filter as from this month. This demonstrates how Mini consistently continues to pursue the optimisation of emissions in its current models.

Unfortunately, a Jaguar due to be sold at an auction later this month has proved that keeping such a model in storage - in this case for 28 years - can completely backfire. The auction lot is a 1990 XJS V12 HE that, since new, has only 840 miles on the clock and is almost in exactly the same condition as when it left the factory production line almost three decades ago. There’s no doubt that the estimated sale price at auction of £40,000 is not to be sneezed at. However, once that’s been adjusted for inflation its current value is only half the original showroom price. The car was first delivered by the Bristol Motor Company in May 1990 and the auctioneers have described the Jaguar XJS HE Automatic in the brochure as ‘a rare find indeed,’ and has an estimate of between £35,000 to £40,000 ... seen as very much at the high end of valuations for this model.

F nothing else, the CCCA is always pushing the envelope, trying to do things that are a bit different for their members. Film nights, parties, Balls, last month a fashion show and a cabaret performance, and now, a Formula 1 forum with seriously top F1 people involved! The next CCCA Clubnight will be the first Tuesday in August at Treetops restaurante in El Chaparral Golf and will feature a ‘Forum’ style F1 evening before dinner. Former Ferrari race engineer to Michael Schumacher, SKY TV commentator, and latterly Williams Martini F1 Chief Technical Officer, Pat Symonds, will give a short talk on the state of Formula 1 as it is now. Pat was responsible for the restructuring of the Williams GP team in 2014 and 2015 and was a central figure with Benetton and then Renault when Fernando Alonso and Renault won back-to-back constructors and drivers world titles in 2005 and 2006.. Currently, Pat is still heavily involved with F1, not only working with Sky F1 but also working with Ross Brawn drafting the new regulations for F1 that will come in for 2021. Also on the team will be CCCA member and ex-McLaren team boss, Jo Ramirez, who will answer questions Forum style from the floor. The evening will be hosted by CCCA Presidente and former rally driver, Ian Giles, and will be open to non-members who will have to pay only a €10 entrance fee. For Formula 1 fans, it’s a must to get a real inside view on F1 as it is now and as it will be in the future. I’m sure most readers will have enjoyed the terrific scrap that went on at the British GP at Silverstone this month where Lewis Hamilton fought valiantly to recover from a first lap incident that relegated him to last place. His recovery drive to finish in second place behind the Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel was an inspiration and it will be interesting to hear what Pat and Jo have to say about it

from Venta Platero, just to the east of Coin. Around 40 cars set off in the hot sunshine to head towards the lakes of El Chorro. Coffee and refreshments were available in the village alongside the lake before cars headed east and then north, skirting the lakes in their entirety, before crossing the dam and heading towards Campillos. From here, cars turned south east to head for a welcome beer, or Cola (!) and a tapa at Bar La Herradura in Zalea. The route then headed along the new road to pass by Coin and Alhaurin and then turning to Mijas Pueblo, enjoying the stunning views from that road. Lunch was arranged at the Valparaiso restaurant which was indeed excellent and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Staff here were attentive and very professional, producing excellent food and a marvellous ambience, even arranging a room for those so wishing to watch World Cup football after lunch!

The next event on the calendar is the JEC Car Run and lunch on July 21 which will be organised by Ian Giles. All Jaguar owners are welcome, any age, any model. Details have yet to be finalised. On July 26 there will be a Concours D’Elegance at the Magna Cafe in Marbella. This is not a CCCA event, but will be supported by the Club who are providing a number of entries including a beautiful early 1960’s Rolls Royce Cloud convertible, a stunning Jaguar XK150 and a 1963 Jaguar Mk.2. Other entries are pending and there will be a lot of supercars exhibited too. More information from info@magnasupercars.com.

FERRARI’S Sebastian Vettel passed the Mercedes of Valtteri Bottas to win a British Grand Prix full of action, as Lewis Hamilton fought up from the back of the field to take second. Hamilton drove superbly to recover from a first-lap collision with Vettel’s teammate Kimi Raikkonen, and the result hinged on two late safety cars, when world champion Hamilton’s Mercedes team took a strategic gamble. Unlike rivals Ferrari and Red Bull, Mercedes chose not to pit both their drivers for fresh tyres at the first safety car intervention. The decision promoted Bottas, who had run second from the start, to the lead ahead of Vettel, while Hamilton was propelled two places up to third. It was a gamble that paid off for the Briton - winning him crucial points in his title fight with Vettel and limiting the damage that could have been caused after the first lap. However, it didn’t work for Bottas, whose tyres ran out and was passed by Vettel, Hamilton

ROHIT SHARMA made a stunning 100 not out to help India beat England by seven wickets in the third Twenty20 match and secure a 2-1 series victory. England, batting first, could manage only 87 runs from the final 10 overs to post 198-8 in Bristol, despite Jason Roy’s blistering 67 from 31 balls. Rohit shared an 89 run stand with Virat Kohli and accelerated in the final overs to put India in control.

He and Hardik Pandya closed out the match with eight balls to spare and it was the highest run chase by any team against England in an international T20. Three brilliant catches - one from Jake Ball and two by Chris Jordan - interrupted India’s chase, but Pandya took 20 runs from the 18th over - bowled by Ball - to turn the match in India’s favour. A three-match one-day series starts today (Thursday) at Trent

Bridge, before the first of five Tests gets under way on August 1. England’s leading wicket-taker James Anderson remarked that it was “not a day to be a bowler” as both sides made hay on a pitch with short boundaries. England captain Eoin Morgan said: “That total isn’t defendable when a guy comes out and plays like that on a small ground. India played better than us.”

Sharma knocks England for six FIGHTING TALK: Brailsford pulled no punches in a press conference.

Brailsford slams brakes on Lappartient TEAM SKY cycling boss Sir Dave Brailsford has said that UCI president David Lappartient needs to learn what his ‘responsibilities’ are, while accusing the Frenchman of having a ‘nationalistic view.’ For his part, Lappartient had commented that Team Sky’s wealth allowed them to fight Chris Froome’s asthma drug case in a way other teams could not have done. Cycling’s governing body dropped the case against Froome last week and Brailsford said: “He (Lappartient) has still got the local French mayor mentality, maybe.”

Lappartient, 45, is the mayor of the French commune Sarzeau, where stage four of this year’s Tour de France took place. “If you want to be the president of an international federation, protect everyone in that international community, don’t take a French angle, or a nationalistic view,” added Brailsford. “The quicker he can learn his responsibilities, the better it will be for everyone.” When asked if Team Sky would release the evidence used in Froome’s case, Brailsford said it was up to the UCI and Wada to publish the details.
