‘Ready’ for hacks Robles says Spain can face potential cyber strikes By Joe Gerrard SPAIN’S Defence Minister has said the country is prepared for potential cyber attacks after British and Dutch authorities alleged Russia’s military intelligence services were behind a series of global strikes. Margarita Robles told a press conference following a meeting with NATO Defence Ministers the country is braced for ‘very real’ threats. Spain had put all necessary measures in place to protect its cyberspace and its citizens should not be alarmed, the minister added. Robles’ comments follow claims made by Britain’s Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt that Russia’s GRU was behind strikes on the World Anti-Doping Agency, the Democratic
National Committee and other organisations. It also comes as the Netherland’s Defence Ministry claimed it had foiled an attempted cyber attack on the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) headquarters in The
Hague. Russia has denied any involvement in the incidents and called the accusations a ‘diabolical cocktail.’ There was no evidence to back up the claims from Britain and the Netherlands, a Kremlin spokesperson added. Robles said Spain had to be prepared in the face of threats of political interference, cyber attacks and ‘hybrid’ strikes. “Citizens have to be calm and to know that we are ready. But we will not abandon the channels of dialogue,” Robles said. The minister added it was ‘essential’ there were joint defence mechanisms both within NATO and the European Union (EU). “Spain is a reliable and serious NATO partner and we are committed to working on our

We cannot give more details about these as we do not provide clues to people who can carry out such attacks,” Robles said. James Mattis, the United States’ Secretary of Defence, said last Thursday his country had given its offensive cyber
capabilities to NATO countries. He added that Russia would ‘pay’ for its actions, but did not outline a specific response. Robles said Spain had to be ‘very cautious’ in choosing how to respond if it should fall victim to such a strike.

ARMY PARADE: The king oversees army marches in Madrid during the National Festival. SPAIN is gearing up to mark its National Festival tomorrow (Friday), a celebration with a long history and global reach. This official photo from the Spanish Army shows troops taking part in military parades in the capital of Madrid to mark the day which takes place every October 12. The marches are presided over by the Spanish King and other members of the royal family, as well as leading government figures such as
the Prime Minister. It also features flyovers from the Patrulla Aguila, the Spanish Air Force’s aerobatics team. The practice of staging parades began in 2000 when October 12 was also designated Armed Forces Day.

Bouncer brawl BRITISH bouncers allegedly brawled with revellers outside a popular Benidorm sports bar, then tried to stop witnesses filming the violence. Footage that has been released of the chaotic scenes shows young men punched to the ground as a group of what appear to be doormen in black t-shirts surround them. One man is seen being kicked and punched even as he lies on the floor, and at least one bouncer appears to be a staff member of a security com-
pany in the resort. The company describes itself on Twitter as a public relations company working on behalf of Benidorm nightclubs. A commentator on the video asked whether police were on the scene, while the uploader of the footage said there were none at the bar. The mother of a man seen being kicked while he lay on the ground has told the Euro Weekly News that he could have been killed.

is celebrated across the world by Spanish speakers and those whose ancestors lived in the country as Hispanic Day. The celebration was first pushed for in the early 20th century with calls to recognise the ‘Haspanidad,’ or global Spanish-speaking community. The celebration fell in and out of favour during the Civil War and the dictatorship of Francisco Franco until it was officially recognised as a national holiday in the 1980’s.

POLL OF THE WEEK Do you think women are more equal in Spain than they are in other countries such as Britain? LAST WEEK’S POLL: Should General Franco’s remains be moved from their resting place in the Valley of the Fallen?
Yes 36%
RANKING HIGH: Thousands of women have protested in favour of gender equality this year.
Female friendly SPAIN has come fifth in a ranking of countries where women feel secure, respected, equal and unthreatened. The University of Georgetown’s Institute for Women, Peace and Security’s study named Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Slovenia and Spain the most female friendly countries. Yemen, Syria and Afghanistan came bottom in the ranking of a total of 153 states. The report comes after Spanish politicians promised progress on gender equality amidst protests against sexism and gender violence this year. The university’s study took into account cases of gender violence, the representation of women in parliament, safety and legal systems. Spain ranked highly in almost all the categories. The country came 11th in gender violence rankings with the study finding that 13 per cent of Spanish women had experienced some form of sexist attack in their lifetimes. More than 80 per cent of Spanish women surveyed said they felt secure, with the report’s authors commenting the metric measured feelings of security and not freedom. Spain came 20th in terms of women participat-
ing in politics. Female members of the Cortes Generales, the country’s Parliament, make up 39 per cent of the total number of lawmakers. Spain topped the ranking of equality in its legal system with the least amount of discriminatory laws on its books. The study follows protests over alleged sexism in Spanish society this year as well as pledges from politicians to make the country more gender equal. Millions took part in the feminist general strike on International Women’s Day on March 8 over claims they continued to face sexism and discrimination in the workplace and wider society. Thousands more rallied after a Navarra court cleared five men of rape charges in connection with a sex attack on a woman at Pamplona’s Running of the Bulls festival. They were found guilty of the lesser charge of sexual assault in what became known as the La Manada (Wolfpack) case. Pedro Sanchez, Spain’s Prime Minister, has committed his left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) government to promoting female equality. There are 11 women in Spain’s 17-strong Council of Ministers, a move designed to make the government more gender equal.

LATEST figures from the British holiday hotspot of Benidorm suggest the resort stands to finish 2018 with 500,000 less British holidaymakers than last year. September registered an unusually quiet month for hoteliers in the resort. Figures suggest there were 41,400 fewer Brits staying in Benidorm than in September 2017 and this drop in registered overnight stays has been noticed by hoteliers in the area. So far in 2018, the figures for British overnight stays in Benidorm are already registering 420,000 fewer overnight stays than the previous year’s data. “If this bleeding continues, the British market is expected to reach a loss of half a million,” warned hotel association Hosbec. Hoteliers are blaming the resurgence of new tourist destinations and the emergence of online-based apartment sharing sites for the downfall in figures. Hosbec noted: “The growth of tourist packages from other competing destinations of ‘sun and beach’ such as Turkey (+ 69 per
cent), Tunisia (+ 41 per cent) or Egypt (+ 58 per cent) is a reality.” The resort has seen this year an increase in Spanish tourists holidaying in Benidorm. This native resurgence has bolstered the occupancy rates of Benidorm hotels in 2018, but remain down on 2017 figures.
Hotels in Benidorm are being forced to consider luring tourists from other nations after the slump in the British market this year. President of Hosbec, Toni Mayor, claims: “We must continue working to ‘seduce’ different markets in order to bring them to Benidorm.”

WHILST everyone is aware of the problems caused by plastic and governments are banning the use of free plastic bags, there is an insidious danger amongst us that you may not appreciate. One of the most popular snacks in Britain and most of the rest of the world are potato crisps and other similar vegetable based snacks. The packets they come in are currently non-recyclable because they are not made of foil as many would think, but are made of up to nine layers of plastic. Walkers, Britain’s largest crisp producers bag 11 million packets a day which totals six billion crisp and other snack packets each year and the company which is owned by Pepsi Cola doesn’t expect to make its bags recyclable until 2025 (that’s 28 billion packets later). The reason for these different layers of plastic is to ensure that the crisps stay fresh, do not take on water or leak oil and do not burst open if dropped but what’s good for the product isn’t so good for the environment and examples of empty crisp packets from the 1980’s have been found on beaches in Europe. It’s not just Walkers who are to blame as most of these tasty snacks come in similar packaging, although Marks and Spencer have reduced the amount of air they put into their packets, thus reducing their size. One way of discovering if the bag is made from foil (as some are), just scrunch it in your hand - if it remains ‘scrunched’ it is foil and can be recycled; if it springs back it is probably metallised plastic film and not recyclable.

EMBASSY TALKS: Walker (centre, left) held meetings in Madrid.
Brexit minister meets expat groups by Joe Gerrard BRITAIN’S Minister for Exiting the European Union (EU) has travelled to Madrid to meet with spokespeople for groups representing expatriates as well as Spanish politicians and business leaders. Robin Walker’s trip included talks with members of the Brexpats in Spain, Bremain in Spain, EuroCitizens and ECREU groups at the British Embassy in the Spanish capital. Issues including health and social care for expatriates in light of Britain’s withdrawal from the EU in March 2019 were discussed. There were also talks on outreach and communications with Walker and Embassy officials. The aim of the meetings was to provide the groups with updates on ongoing Brexit ne gotia tions a s w e ll a s an i nsi ght i nt o Britain’s diplomatic work in Spain, its embassy said. Walker said he was pleased to meet with the representatives and update them on what the government was doing to safeguard their rights. “I valued the opportunity to hear their concerns about residency, pensions, on-
ward movement and voting rights and the uncertainty many of them still feel over Brexit,” he said. The minister added the government’s top pr i or i t y had al ways been t o secur e t he rights of citizens and that the draft Withdrawal Agreement did that for British nationals in Spain. Simon Manley, Britain’s Ambassador to Spain, said strong people-to-people links were at the heat of Britain’s relationship with Spain. “There are 180,000 Spanish people living in Britain and some 300,000 British people have chosen to make Spain their home. “I am pleased that Robin Walker was able to meet with representatives of British nationals’ citizens’ rights groups in Spain as well as Spanish government officials,” Manley said. The meetings follow comments from the president of Brexpats in Spain, Anne Hernandez, claiming the patience of her and her group’s members was running out over Brexit. “Theresa May’s failure to mention expatriates in her statements has show how little we matter to her,” Hernandez said.

No early election SPAIN’S Prime Minister has said he has no plans to call an early general election as opposition politicians and officials from his own party continue to lobby for a poll. Pedro Sanchez faced calls from Albert Rivera, leader of the centrist Ciudadanos party, to hold a snap election in order to help resolve the ongoing independence push in Cataluña. Members of the Prime Minister’s ruling left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) have also said Sanchez should bring elections forward to capitalise on the party’s lead in the polls. It comes as scandals continue to dog the government, with many PSOE officials fearing they could derail hopes of a future election victory. Rivera claimed Spain was currently in the hands of Cataluña’s pro-independence president Quim Torra. An election was the only way to loosen what Rivera said was Torra’s hold on power, the Ciudadanos leader added. Rivera also called for Article 155, the constitutional mechanism used to impose direct rule on the region following last year’s independence referendum and declaration, to be reinstated. Sanchez said his administration wanted to continue on the path of dialogue with Cataluña within the bounds of the law. “The answer is clear. We want self-government and coexistence. Not independence,” he said on Twitter. The Prime Minister added he would hold elections if the Catalans chose to prioritise conflict over collaboration. It was his policy to wait until 2020, the end of the current legislative term, to hold a national vote and that he had no plans to bring it forward. PSOE officials have reportedly become concerned that scandals which have seen two ministers resign since the party took power in June could hamper its election chances going forward. The PSOE is currently around 10 points ahead of the opposition conservative Partido Popular (PP).

Contaminated zones by Tara Rippin THE nuclear agency has admitted there are six radioactive contaminated sites in Spain. But none of the zones which are listed by the Nuclear Security Council (CSN), are officially classified as contaminated ground. This is because Spain has yet to pro-
duce a formal inventory of sites affected by radioactive leaks, 10 years after a royal decree ordered one to be compiled. The CSN argued the Nuclear Energy Law needs to be amended before the inventory can go ahead. And since 2008, no governmental moves have been made to achieve this. In November 1970, several dozen litres of highly radioactive liquid from a spent nuclear fuel reprocessing
plant reportedly leaked from the Juan Vigon National Nuclear Energy Centre, inside Madrid’s university campus. The liquid spilled into the sewer system and reached the Manzanares River, making its way to the Jarama River, the adjoining irrigation canal, and into the Tagus River. The Franco regime is said to have kept quiet about the accident and the existence of contaminated soil, which it collected after draining the

tion Ministry is working on legal changes to allow for the approval of an official list of contaminated sites in Spain.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez pledged that Franco’s remains will be exhumed to strip him of his privileged position at the monument, but that it will be done with ‘dignity and respect.’ He made no mention of an honorary funeral, which would defeat the purpose of removing his remains from the site where more than 33,000 victims of the Spanish Civil War are buried, without marked graves. The Franco family has a crypt at the cathedral which contains the remains of Franco’s daughter, Carmen Franco, as well as a vault at El Pardo cemetery, where his wife Carmen Polo is buried.

Label changes by Tara Rippin A NEW fuel labelling system will be phased in at petrol stations across Spain, from tomorrow (Friday). The European Union system will not be based on the octane rating, but will consist of letters and numbers framed in squares, circles or diamonds, depending on whether it is petrol, diesel or gas. The aim is to make it easier to buy fuel when travelling abroad, as the new system will be implemented in all member states, as well as Iceland, Turkey, Serbia, Norway, Switzerland, Macedonia and Liechtenstein. But it is predominantly driven by the EU’s wish to reduce dependency on Arab oil producing countries, and to extend the use of alternatives that reduce CO2 emissions. Under the new scheme, petrol will be displayed using a circle, the letter E will be used to indicate its content of ethanol, together with the per-

The implementation in petrol stations will be carried gradually, allowing a period of time in which the old and new systems will coexist.

At the request of the International Olympic Committee she recorded the duet, inspired by her home city, as one of the official theme songs for the 1992 Olympic Games. The soprano was born in Barcelona on April 12, 1933. She subsequently moved to Basel, Switzerland, where she made her professional debut in 1956 before singing all around the world. In 1987, Caballé made a rare excursion into the world of pop music when she released a duet with Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of the rock band Queen, which was titled ‘Barcelona.’ Mercury was a great admirer of Caballé, considering her

Linking the old with the new ALTEA is to have a new pedestrian street connecting Calle Filarmonica with Calle Empedrat in the Old Town. Citizens’ Participation councillor Maria Lavios was doubly satisfied, she said during the last council meeting. The new road was the most-voted of the proposals put forward for the previous Participatory Budget which gives local residents a say in the way that town hall funds are used, Lavios pointed out. Another source of satisfaction was the decision to name the street Carrero del Forn de la Viuda (Widow’s Bakery), in memory of Isabel Llorenç Santacreu who, on being widowed, took over her husband’s bakery there and
brought up her daughters alone. The name takes present-day Altea back to the town their forebears knew, said Lavios who, along with other councillors, publicly thanked Isabel Llorenç’s family and her granddaughter Maria Teresa Escoda who suggested the name. “Lastly and importantly, she made it possible by ceding the land for a road that was included in the 1982 General Town Plan.” Following the vote, Urban Development councillor and acting mayor Imma Orozco stated that Carrero del Forn de la Viuda celebrated the work of so many Altea mothers who, despite the difficulties, provided for their children while running a business.

Too cheap
ONLY one Javea firm competed for a 12-month €73,000 contract for plumbing maintenance at all municipal buildings and local state schools. Bids ranged from €67,000 to a Madrid-based multinational’s €45,000, which the town hall is legally bound to accept as the lowest, although it will ask the company to justify the ‘dangerously low’ tender.

AFTER brief but intense rainfall recently flooded Javea’s storm drains, wastewater and wet wipes reached the River Gorgos. Flowing down the normally-dry Gorgos they were carried out to sea but two-metre waves returned them to the shore. As has happened before, the wet wipes and other rubbish littered the rocks of the Primer Muntanyar beach, which is closest to the mouth of Gorgos. Boats from the local fishing fleet are growing tired of having to remove the wipes from their nets, Spanish media sources reported following the latest episode. Wet wipes bring headaches to every sewer system in

Saved by the bell PROMOTERS planning to build and open a restaurant at Segon Muntanyer timed their town hall application carefully. They did this on the afternoon of May 30, hours before the town hall announced changes in the new General Structural Plan which would have protected the land, the last unbuilt plot at Segon Muntanyar.

Javea’s new zoning regulations, town hall officials scrutinised the application, looking for a legal loophole. Eventually they found it was essential to have the necessary fees when making an application for planning permission. The necessary fees had been paid, they discovered, but not until June 22, by which time the General Structural Plan had been made public. The town hall has now begun the formalities to revoke the licence whose annulment will be put before the next plenary meeting.

Long road to recovery A DRUNK, drugged driver mowed down six cyclists in Oliva on May 7, 2017. It was early on a Sunday morning and she killed three of them - Luis Alberto Contreras, Edu Monfort and Jose Albi - as she drove home on the N332 after a night out. One cyclist, Jaume Escortell, miraculously escaped unscathed, but 17 months later Andres Contreras and Scott Gordon are still recovering from their injuries. AndrĂŠs, who recently celebrated his 28th birthday, lost his father in the accident and all three of the survivors lost friends.
Talking to the Spanish press recently, Scott, admitted that he could not yet see light at the end of the tunnel. He is about to undergo a sixth operation on his left thighbone which refuses to knit. Andres faces another operation in November when surgeons will remove the pins and the circlage wires that hold together the shattered fragments of bone in his lower leg. He has been luckier than Scott and surgeons are happy with the way his tibia is mending, he said. Both young men were dumbfounded when the driver was released months back, to await a trial.

Big plans for busy port D E N I A i s o n e o f t h e Va lencian C o m m u n i t y ’s leading ports with a high volume of activity, the regional government confirmed. Carlos Domingo, director general for Public Works, Transport and Mobility, revealed plans for the port which include extending towards the south. Accompanied by Den i a ’s m a y o r Vi c e n t G r i malt, Domingo was shown the entire port, paying special attention
to the old Lonja (fish market) which is currently being renovated. This has been financed by the Generalitat’s Confianza scheme and work should finish by the end of this year. The Generalitat, ultimately responsible for the r e g i o n ’s h a r b o u r s , r e vealed that it has plans for a new promenade between
the Moll del Martell pier a n d D e n i a ’s R o y a l Ya c h t Club which include a new roundabout. Before this is carried out, Carlos Domingo’s department intends to enlarge the existing mooring space at the industrial area adjoining the Baleares ferry dock in the Moll de la Pansa zone. This will include a new pontoon for boats that are
more than 100 metres long, a €15 million undertaking which will be constructed by the concessionary, Varadero Port Denia. “When a port concessionary is appointed this involves a series of investments which are linked to its own activities but also intended to improve the surroundings, Domingo said.

Calle Loreto, Denia’s gastronomic heart THE Marina Alta enjoys a long and individual gastronomic tradition. The Mediterranean is the cradle of the area’s cuisine, a cuisine that has always benefited from the proximity of farms, vineyards, orchards and the shores of the Mediterranean. What really characterises Marina Alta cuisine most is the quality of the product, its freshness. All ingredients must be fresh or seasonal, because only then can the nature of our dishes be duly appreciated. The town of Denia is the capital of Marina Alta. In it’s gastronomic heartland, in the historic quarter, lies Calle Loreto. The street is a clear example of Marina Alta cuisine. Whilst there may be restaurants of greater renown in other areas of the town, such as Las Marinas or Las Rotas, Calle Loreto has become in recent years one of the most effervescent areas at the gastronomic level. Its large number of bars and restaurants, its wide gastronomic offer, and the excellent level of service offered, have turned this street into one of the biggest tourist attractions of Denia. One example restaurant that encompasses all of the aforementioned is restaurant Ca Pepa Teresa, on Calle Loreto 23, located in the heart of Calle Loreto. It is a perfect place to enjoy the culinary tradition of the Marina Alta. There you will find paellas, stews, meats, fish and a constant hallmark: the daily purchase of the best fresh produce in the traditional food markets of the area. Conditions that other similar restaurants like Els Tomassets (C/Loreto 35), share. All have a wide selection of tapas and traditional dishes of the Marina Alta. Cocas, tapas, marinades and seasonings: a whole range of authentic and homemade starters. The Cocas de la Marina are sea-
soned with different ingredients, so you can try different aspects of our gastronomy. Always with products from the area, fresh and seasonal vegetables. Restaurant La Seu is one of the Calle’s essentials. In addition to working with the freshest fish, and La Seu (C/Loreto 59 ) make their own salted fish themselves. What
clearly denotes a respect for their product and a love for work well done. La Seu could be characterised as recovering the traditional recipes of our gastronomy and reinventing them in a contemporary way. The experiences proposed in La Seu pivot on concepts and designs based on the attachment to the land and the eternal learning,
which emerges from the admiration for other cultures and procedures: “The construction of our dishes has a harmonious order that reconciles tradition and innovation,” says Diana Cervera, its Chef and manager. Mediterranean spaces, authentic and unique, configured diaphanously. The light and transparency are the main features, communicating kitchen and dining room, to establish a direct communication between the kitchen and the diner. Its interior courtyards are fresh and cheerful, full of light and vegetation, one of the most outstanding spaces for its diners. The fresh and local products, together with the influence of traditional cuisine, make a restaurant that combines the attractiveness of its different rooms, with the quality and presentation of its dishes. All an experience for the senses.

11 - 17 October 2018 Dear Readers, IN today’s article, we want to talk about a new court ruling granted in favour of one of our clients who was affected by a multi-currency loan combined with an investment product, which was sold to them as an equity release. It was a product, marketed by the Bank of Valencia, under the name of Activa Tu Casa and was a combination of a multicurrency mortgage loan in Swiss Francs together with an investment in the same bank with the funds in Euros. This was without doubt a high risk product, which led to many of those affected by it losing their properties or savings. Thus, the ruling of Section 8 of the Provincial Court of Alicante, dated 7/9/2018, confirms the nullification of this highrisk product that was sold to our client, Ms D G (S). It was annulled on the grounds that the lack of information about the risks of the product encouraged our client, a retired expatriate with no experience in complex investments products, to follow the

advice of the bank which resulted in her taking up the product and almost making her lose her home. The Provincial Court in this court precedent, declared the nullity of the signed contract, because it had its origin in a consent or agreement given by my client, which was wrong and invalid because the bank did not give sufficient and accurate information to her in order to enable her to make an informed decision about investing in the product. In addition, the Provincial
Court declared, as we requested in our claim, that; 1. In this type of mixed product, which is a mortgage loan in a foreign currency linked with investment, it should be understood that the Securities Market Law is applicable, since it is a combined mixed product, which involves financial advice. Therefore, the information duties and obligations of the bank about the characteristics of the contract, risks, etc, are greater and stricter. 2. In addition, the Provincial Court of Alicante, reiterated, that contrary to what banks try to argue in defence, the period of four years to initiate a nullity legal action due to a wrong consent, should be counted, not from when the error or mistake is known to have occurred, but,
from the date of the expiry of the contract, ie when the contractual relationship is finalised at the end of the term of the loan. The Provincial Court confirmed the sentence in favour of our client that we had previously obtained in the first court and instructed the bank to pay the costs and expenses of the entire court process. Therefore, if you are in this or a similar situation, if your bank wrongly sold you a multicurrency mortgage in Spain, or an investment product, or an equity release, without informing you about the risks, contact us and we will help you. The information provided in this article is not intended to be legal advice, but merely conveys general information related to legal issues.

FAMILY FEUD: The son is fortunate to be alive after the attack.
Father stabs own son A MAN allegedly stabbed his 19-year-old son who intervened when he was assaulting his wife at their home in Aranjuez, near Madrid. The domestic violence case took place at 9.30am on Friday morning in an apartment located on Calle Almansa. After an argument between the couple became physical, the son stepped in to defend his mother but was stabbed several times,
and twice in the neck. He was transferred to the Hospital October 12 in Madrid via helicopter in a serious condition, and had lost a lot of blood, but his condition has since stabilised. The 52-year-old mother only suffered superficial knife wounds, but was taken to the hospital via an ambulance. The suspect, who was unharmed, has been arrested and detained for questioning.

‘RECKLESS’: Hunt’s (inset) claims were based on Britain’s NCSC’s intelligence.
Russia cyber strike claim BRITAIN’S Foreign Secretary has claimed Russia’s military intelligence service was behind several cyber attacks on Western nations including sporting and political entities. Jeremy Hunt, who spoke based on intelligence from Britain’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), claimed Russia’s GRU had targeted the World Anti-Doping Agency and the Democratic National Committee in ‘reckless’ strikes. A Kremlin spokesperson said there was no evidence to support the allegations.

Nestling down
A risky investment MANY UK nationals living part of the year in Spain, or visiting often, might spend months here but still retain tax residency in their home country. This means those looking for investment opportunities can still take advantage of UK tax efficient products such as Finance ISAs - ones which use peer-to-peer lending to offer high rates of return. They may be nothing new but one legal justice firm has upped the ante offering returns of up to 8 per cent a year. Created two years ago, Innovative Finance ISAs allow savers to use part
by Tom Woods of their ISA allowance to invest in peer-to-peer lending platforms while benefiting from potentially high interest rates tax free. One firm, Just, is now claiming it will use investments to fund legal cases, with investors making profits if a case wins. Just’s director, Rob Rutter, explained, “investors will ultimately be assisting those who may have been wronged by banks, institutions or individuals.”
Minimum investment is £2,000 (€2,244), which will be held in bond for five years accruing simple interest at 8 per cent per year. This could mean profits of up to £4,000 (€4,488) on an initial £10,000 (€11,370) investment. Experts warn these ISAs are not risk free, however, and are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, meaning if such a firm was to go bust savers would likely lose their investments. Website thisismoney instead urges potential investors to, “do their own research into how solid the company they are investing in is.”
MERIDIA CAPITAL has sold the Nestle headquarters in Barcelona to the Korean investor IGIS Asset Management. The office complex has an area of 27,000 square metres spread over five buildings.

The Spanish Supreme Court has ruled that Rodrigo Rato must serve a four-and-a-half year sentence, and as it is for more than two years it will not be automatically suspended. The high-ranking politician - he is a former Deputy Prime Minister

Young people bank on digital YOUNG people aged between 18 and 35 years old make 80 per cent of payments via their bank cards, and only 20 per cent in cash according to research from BBVA Data & Analytics. This ratio is even higher i n l a rg e c i t i e s , w h e r e t h e average number of transactions made by card has risen by 170 per cent over the last three years. Millennials make 44 per cent fewer withdrawals than the average Spanish person, while those over 60 are 33 per cent above the average. Card transactions have increased by 136 per cent in Barcelona since 2015, and by 103 per cent in Madrid. By contrast, payments by card only represented 45.6 per cent of the total in Melilla, 40.8 per cent in

Jaen, and 40.5 per cent in Asturias. In addition, ‘contactless’ card payments have rocked from 5.7 per cent in 2015, to 49.5 per cent in 2018. Researchers have established that the five main categories being spent on are: food, fashion, bars and restaurants, transport and shopping centres. T h e B B VA s t u d y concludes that the evidence points to a progression towards a ‘cashless’ society spearheaded by young people. The report identifies the rise of digital technology as a key factor, as well as a reduction in commission that businesses had to pay to accept payment by card.
LAW CHANGE: The news will be welcomed by modernising banks.
EU banks on the future SPANISH banks are anticipating a regulatory change by the European Union that will allow them (and other European banks) to stop accounting for their investment in digital technology as costs. This will mean that they will no longer have to deduct this expenditure from the tier one capital ratio. According to an internal document from one of the Spanish banks, European officials have reached an agreement to ensure that future investments in FinTech will not adversely affect solvency calculations. The same document highlights that the European Banking Authority (EBA) should develop new technical standards to establish what can be considered digital software. Despite the reaching of this agreement in principle, the timescale to introduce it has not yet been clarified. Deloitte’s analysts have estimated that the new banking legislative package could be introduced in the second half of 2019. Banking bosses have been working for years to convince the European authorities to implement this change. European banks spend more than €18 million on FinTech, and this is expected to rise to €50 million in the near future.

I’m offended that you’re offended LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I DUNNO, it really does appear that in this day and age you can pick up any old rock and discover some ‘offended’ creep skulking under there somewhere. This week was a real humdinger. The left wing (natch!) National Union of Students, (natch again!), have decided that public hand clapping, whooping and cheering should be banned as they consider it ‘offensive to deaf people’! You really couldn’t make it up. Do these young idiots ever do any actual studying? Do they ever get their heads down and use their free libraries and state financed education establishments (which many a third world student would give their eye teeth for) to create a little brain power? Or are their days spent in cuckoo land, dreaming up any lunatic scheme or idea, merely to give themselves an excuse for existing? Apparently, their alternative suggestion to applause, is the use of ‘Jazz Hands.’ This entails raising the arms and enthusiastically waggling the hands and fingers. (Think Black and White Minstrel Show.) ‘Er, hold on a minute, no noise? Wouldn’t that be offensive to blind people? You see, all this PC
APPLAUSE: Is this really offensive? and ‘offended’ clap trap actually has no end. It simply goes on and on. I may be offended by deaf people communicating by sign language because it doesn’t include me! Or upset because pigs have been excluded from my school books, (yep!). There are billions of people on earth; whatever your opinions you’re bound to offend someone. Did you know that some people are offended by the use of the expression ‘rule of thumb?’ This is because the thumb was originally in-
troduced to measure the thickness of the stick you could use to beat the wife! Just to get back briefly to the student ‘clapping’ opposition, I think I’ve solved it. Passing wind would take care of it. An appreciative audience, in a communal coordinated gas release, would satisfy everyone. Deaf, blind, dumb, physically impaired. All would benefit. There’s one for your pathetic student union to contemplate, when it next engages
in the pea brained activity it laughingly calls ‘educated debate.’ Oh, and while you’re about it, when you come to the question of a second Brexit referendum, which no doubt has been supported at many a gathering of your laughable leftist liaisons, what if a second vote yielded the same leave result? Any plans for that? ‘Course not. With the ignorance of the young, you’re all far too arrogant to admit you may get something wrong. It’s time our next generation started to talk of WHEN we leave. Not IF! Now that would be a constructive use of taxpayer’s money. I’ll leave all our young time-wasters with a motif for their new t-shirts. I’m offended That you’re offended By me taking offence At your offensive, Offensiveness! Alright!? Oh, and I’ve just discovered why Sky’s obnoxious Kay Burley seems to get all the cream news assignments. She’s a major SKY shareholder. ‘Course she is. I bet she’s popular with her, oft far more talented fellow news presenters, who never seem to get a look in! Keep the faith Love Leapy. leapylee2002@gmail.com

YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE - YOUR OPINION Letters should be emailed to yoursay@euroweeklynews.com or make your comments on our website: www.euroweeklynews.com WHAT sort of punishment is a suspended three months sentence for a woman who can allow two dogs to die? (Left for dead Almeria Issue 1735). She should suffer imprisonment of at least three months or more. She is also barred from working with dogs, not barred from keeping them!! As long as she is not caught, she will probably do exactly the same to some other poor animals. She has received no punishment at all. Laughable, if it was not so sad. Roger Brown
Love the EWN I LOVE your newspaper with the crosswords and local news. One of the greatest ideas of your paper is the Letters page. To get other peoples’ opinions and suggestions is so interesting, it is just a pity more space could not be dedicated to them. In Issue 1735 you published a letter from Michael Hill regarding Jesus and religion. Jesus (whether he existed or not) was a great invention/creation and message.
HAVE YOUR SAY

No laughing matter Making a stand can bring rewards HAVING the courage to confront injustice is never easy. Perversely, the often long and difficult journey makes as many enemies as friends, and the temptation to give up becomes strong. Hard lessons are learnt along the way: such as the innate ability of those who hold the power to defend the indefensible; that the legal system can cloud issues rather than clarify, and become part of the problem; that politicians’ promises are merely words.
All letters by email or post should carry the writer’s address, NIE and contact number though only the name and town will be published.
HEARING: EU investigating Monte Pego problem. When this involves the sewage system for 1,500 dwellings, the problems can rapidly become serious. For the residents of the beautiful urbanisation of Monte Pego, on the Costa Blanca, they did. For many years the water discharged from the sewage treatment plant had not been properly treated and Pego Town Hall paid large fines for the pollution. By 2017 this pollution had become almost raw sewage, as confirmed by laboratory tests arranged by the Residents
Association, Pro Monte Pego (PMP). Something had to be done. The town hall still refused to act, even though the large Marjal Natural Park and rice fields stand directly in the line of the pollution. In order to protect the urbanisation, the stunning Natural Park’s flora and fauna, and the good name of the area, the bold decision was taken in the summer of 2017 to petition the EU Parliament. It took courage, but the cause was just, the rewards potentially enormous. Political pressure from the EU could unlock the stalemate. To the great delight of the PMP Association the EU Petitions Committee accepted the submission - a triumph in itself - and over the last six months evidence has been gathered and shared with the EU. Now the exciting news has arrived that members of PMP have been invited to Brussels to appear before the committee, and hear their verdict. If the EU supports the petition, then the political pressure on the town hall and other authorities will be of huge help, and of course, vindication for the courage to stand up for justice. It would be the best possible good news story. Anton Leest

AIRPORT WARNING: Brit tourist robbed of cash and credit cards at security in Spain claim I am partially disabled and together with my husband, daughter and another elderly couple were on a golf buggy at Malaga airport in June. My new iPad and phone plus stick was put into a basket, when my other black box came through the other one containing my iPad phone etc didn’t arrive. I asked where it was and lo and behold the iPad one had been left behind. Judy M I’m always wary when u get pulled for frisking, that someone might steal my bags. I put my watch, iPhone and purse in my handbag so no thief can see what’s valuable. Plus I never take my eye off the conveyor belt.

UK to Spain flight does U-turn after ‘disruptive’ woman ‘slaps’ passenger claim Airline shouldn’t have let her on board if she was drunk as someone claims. Cabin crew told me once when a passenger was kicking off before take-off that it’s too much ‘form filling’ to get them off! Linda
Here was a man who asked nothing for himself. Not money, nor power but had a simple message - do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It doesn’t really matter if HE didn’t say it or who said it or if he existed - it’s a damn good and sane idea to follow. I was brought up in a mixed religious family - Catholic and Protestant and everyone got along with each other. I can’t recall any discussions/arguments about religion - maybe we were the lucky ones. I too am horrified and disgusted about the behaviour of these paedophile clerics. They should be, defrocked, stripped of their ‘titles’ and banned from ever having contact with children. I read some time ago that the reason priests are forbidden to marry is the business of inheritance. If a married priest died (coming from a rich family ) his inheritance went to his wife and family. But if he was not married his money would go to the church. I think we should all do - as far as possible - the right thing and remember the old adage; the love of money is the root of all evil. And as Leapy would say - Keep the peace. Olivia Qualtrough

Better food, better mood PASSIONATE about food? So is Viva España, priding themselves on the quality of food. They offer a great range of seasonal dishes, as well as several classic favourites, with a modern twist. The range of dishes, fresh ingredients, a passionate kitchen team and personal attentive service from their servers all work towards creating that more refined dining experience. Probably the first thing you notice about this restaurant is the unusual name. It comes from a Valencian family who, whilst living in a foreign country, wanted to show their love for the land in which they were born. Viva España Restaurant is a

true homage to all the communities of Spain, with its traditions, music, dialects and flags. These have all been clearly identified on the walls of the restaurant along with the traditional dresses of each of these communities. Viva España carefully selects only the best treasures of Valencian cuisine, offering traditional homemade food to awaken every taste bud and guarantee a true Spanish experience. Open daily from Monday to Sunday offering a menu of the day. On Saturday nights they organise a dinner with orchestra and dance for only €15. Sunday lunch is the highlight of the week: a beautiful flamenco show performed on stage by Viva España ballet, one of the most select ballets in the whole of the Valencian Community. The ballet is composed of a formidable group of dancers and
bailaores that will guide spectators along the path and evolution of flamenco, showing exquisiteness and purity through alegrías, bulerías, tangos, solea, rumba and seguírias. A fascinating journey through the different ‘palos’ (beats) of flamenco, from the beginning to the present, complemented with a brushstroke of passion, fire, grace and beautiful costumes. It is an incredible visual and acoustic journey, capable of generating enchanting scenes and emotion. It is, in short, a one-hour-long show that will intoxicate the viewer through the five senses. The Restaurant is on the N332 km 216, just on the left after the motorway, between Oliva and Gandia it is easily distinguished by the flags and enormous typical Valencian ‘barracas’.

- and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
PENSIONED-OFF police commissioner Jose Villarejo who apparently had a finger in every unsavoury Spanish pie, is remanded in prison awaiting trial for money laundering and criminal activities. He secretly eavesdropped conversations that have embarrassed everyone from the former King to Cabinet ministers and he has made it known that three copies of the tapes are safely beyond reach outside Spain. He has boasted in prison that he is preparing a traca final - the ground-moving sequence of big bangs that ends a fireworks display. So if Villarejo is planning to go out with a bang, how many more public figures are already whimpering in private?
Getting priorities right PARTIDO POPULAR politician Celia Villalobos was twice fined for not supporting Alberto Ruiz allardon’s misogynist attempt at reforming Jose Luis Rodriguez’s Abortion Law. In 2013 she failed to turn up to vote against a PSOE motion calling for Ruiz-Gallardon’s Bill to be withdrawn and in 2014 voted with the socialists in another attempt to halt it. Other PP women privately agreed that unless

RECENTLY I wrote about students being ‘bribed’ with biscuits. Now we have Waitrose being hammered by both cashstrapped students and parents for its pricy list of student store cupboard ‘essential’ ingredients, described by the supermarket as ‘a starter kit for the fledgling cook about to fly the nest.’ This includes rose harissa paste, organic cider vinegar, organic soy sauce and Marigold Swiss Vegetable Bouillon Powder - the whole list costing freshers £13 and they still wouldn’t have anything to eat! But hang on, where’s the avocado? Or the wholemeal organic multi-grain toast from Waitrose’s Fairtrade line to slather it on? To be fair, though, students no longer restrict themselves to the traditional diet of Pot Noodles, baked beans and cold pasta. Mainly due to the internet, a new generation of young food ‘vloggers’ and YouTubers have shown students how to cook creatively and cheaply. In fact, all the Waitrose items listed have a long shelf life and, though an ini-

they had the cash to go to France or the UK, women who needed a termination could once again be left to the mercies of backstreet butchers. They kept quiet but Villalobos, put her money where her mouth was and had to shell out €1,300 in all, which was cheap at the price. Not long afterwards she was in disgrace for playing Candy Crush on her iPad in the parliament chamber during a Mariano Rajoy speech. And just recently she was seen in the parliament chamber, looking at clothes on internet
websites while her co-MPs were tearing into Justice minister Dolores Delgado. Respect, Celia. You get your priorities right every time.
Gamekeeper-turnedpoacher EDUARDO ZAPLANA, ex-former mayor of Benidorm, ex-president of the Valencian Com-
munity, ex-government minister and ex-government spokesman, is currently imprisoned on remand, accused of money laundering, misappropriation of public funds and misconduct in public office. To defend him he has engaged lawyer Daniel Campos, who belonged to the Public Prosecution department and specialised in corruption cases. We’ve heard of a poacher-turned-gamekeeper, but what better defence in a court of law than a gamekeeper-turned-poacher?
Whirlwind on the horizon WHO would be Quim Torra? Nominally regional president of Cataluña, he is a ventriloquist’s dummy for Carles Puigdemont, his predecessor who fled to Belgium following an inconclusive unilateral declaration of independence. Torra still has to maintain law and order for the 50 per cent of Catalans opposed to independence. There was trouble on the first anniversary of the October 1 independence referendum when the Committees for the Defence of the Republic (CDR), urged by Torra to ‘keep up the pressure,’ responded by blocking roads, motorways and the AVE railway lines. There’s only so much pressure that can be applied without breaking the law. So the regional government
had to call out the regional police force. Not known for wearing kid gloves, they charged energetically when hooded protesters tried to storm the regional parliament. “They’re not October 1 people,” Puigdemont insisted afterwards, but a year ago Catalan separatists sowed the wind and the radicals will reap a whirlwind. “Toto I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas,” Dorothy, herself a whirlwind victim, said in the Wizard of Oz. How long before we hear Torra say, “Carles, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Cataluña”?
MOUTHPIECE: Is Quim Torra simply a ventriloquist’s dummy for Carles Puigdemont?
Supermarket mocked for its posh ‘store cupboard’ essentials tial outlay’s involved, should last for quite some time. The bouillon powder is really useful, lasts for ages and a superb suggestion. Even the rose harissa works out relatively economically considering how much, err, bite it can give to umpteen meals before the jar’s used up. Maybe all the carping’s just a classic example of people sniggering because it’s upmarket Waitrose? Good quality seasonings help turn cheap, simple ingredients into nutritious meals. Presumably some of those whinging wouldn’t think twice about a student forking out £13 on a pizza? Years ago when I was a student (Vesta curries, Angel Delight, anyone?), one flatmate used to whip up incredible roast dinners for us (buying ‘sell by’ date meat and veg from the supermarket just before closing) and loads of other delicious meals. Our store cupboard was rammed with lots of weird and wonderful-sound-

He always swore Fray Bentos was hugely underrated. Too true - after a few fags, no way could you taste it! Happy days!

However, for the last 30 years people have squeezed their cars into the street without any problems. The street has no name and there has never been a ‘No Exit’ sign. Now a neighbour has complained to the police there were too many cars parked. The police came and then asked the urbanisation to put a yellow line and a board to prohibit parking. Now I can’t get visitors or a plumber because they have to park on a yellow line and can get a fine. Most of the neighbours have the same problem. My question is: Do we complain to the community or to the police? N P (Costa del Sol)
As you tell it, the police have taken David Searl no official action. Only the You and the Law in Spain community has acted. I suspect that your street is not really a public way and that nobody can be fined. You want to bring the issue to your AGM and vote to remove the yellow line and the sign.

Fill the grid so that every row, every column and every 3X3 box contains the digits 1-9. There’s no maths involved. You solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic.
There is a wonderful enthusiasm about you at the moment. Seeing the reaction of others to you, it occurs that you should have taken this attitude before. Therefore, make a resolution to put more energy into everything that you do.
Something new which you started in recent weeks becomes more than a passing interest. Although it may be surprising to you, it is owing to a predictable situation. In opening your mind, you also seem to have opened your heart. Many people do that at this time of the year and so you are not alone.

You are so sharp that there is a danger you will cut yourself! Seriously, though, try not to appear pompous over a certain matter. You may be right and you may be clever, but smarty pants are rarely popular. Some of that sharpness gets things going for you in the love department, though.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) With everyone busy round you, the chance may be taken to show what you are capable of. Instead of watching someone make a pig's ear of a work project, offer to help. It's important, though, to let them think any bright ideas were theirs. Giving praise now will mean it coming back to you ten-fold.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Your outgoing attitude is spot on. Some may say you are a little crazy, the way you go for things. Each person has their own way and yours can be quite unique but that certainly does not make it wrong. People who make the world around us that little bit more colourful are gems.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Some legal matters need your attention. That's not really what you want at this time of the year. A decision has to be made and it needs a fine balance. Asking others may just confuse matters, so only seek expert advice. At the end of the day, you will know what is both best and acceptable.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) A last-minute invitation turns out to be just the ticket in more ways than one. An invitation to join a holiday may be proffered. This is unusual, certainly, but keep an open mind. Your company is clearly well appreciated so why not make that a point of pride? Let's face it, who is best equipped to blow your trumpet?
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Someone you mistrust offers to add to your celebrations. Why not call a truce? We both know that little long term will come out of it, but who cares? Sometimes, it is better to share one good moment with someone than none at all.

Golden Age painter? 7. In Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, what is the name of the moneylender character who speaks the famous line: “lf you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh”? 8. Which colourless gas with a sweetish odour and taste, used as an anaesthetic, especially in dentistry, is also known as laughing gas? 9. Which very large Australasian kingfisher that feeds on terrestrial prey such as reptiles and birds, is often referred to as the laughing jackass? 10. Name any two of the original four presenters of the popular ITV light entertainment programme Game for a Laugh that ran from 1981 to 1985? Not a lot of people know that… historically, sweat has been an active ingredient in perfume and love potions and in Alabama it is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes people to laugh in church.

Links between hearing loss and dementia RECENT research by the Alzheimer’s Society adds to a growing body of research suggesting that hearing loss is a risk factor for dementia. By following people over 65 with and without hearing problems for up to 25 years, researchers found that those with hearing problems were more likely to develop dementia. Although the study cannot tell us whether using hearing aids would help to bring the risk of dementia back down, it does hint that this might be the case, a finding that should be followed up with high priority. One in six people experience hearing loss with 80 per cent doing nothing about it. Adults with minor loss are two times more likely to develop dementia, with moderate loss three times more likely to develop dementia and with severe loss five times more likely to develop dementia. With the numbers of people developing dementia set to reach one million by 2021, it’s vital to explore all the links between dementia and other health conditions so we can look for

It is scientifically proven that with hearing loss, you misinterpret sounds and this can lead to confusion. Subsequently this will result in isolation and depression which are among the variable risk factors for dementia.
But by building a ‘cognitive reserve’ which means strengthening the brain’s networks, it can continue to function in later life despite damage. And to be able to do this you need to be able to hear correctly. The sooner you get hearing aids, the better, because it reduces further

Beautiful calendars WHILE Christmas may still be some way off, b e a u t y c o m p a n i e s a r e n ’t wasting any time promoting what are tipped to be this year ’s hottest gifts beauty advent calendars. So with everyone from M&S to Harrods getting in on the act, are they worth the money? Beauty advent calendars work in much the same way as regular ones, ie there are 25 individual sections to open. The difference here is these calendars - generally much larger than average - offer sample or travel sized products in a series of drawers, often ending with a full sized product on the 25th. While this may seem g i m m i c k y, a n d o f c o u r s e you may not like every product, some of these sets offer major discounts on products costing much more if bought separately. The Boots No 7 set is offering products worth £172 (€195) for £42 (€48), while Look Fantastic, is offering their calendar for £79 (€90) with a product value of more than £300 (€341).

AESTHETIC: Conjunction of inner beauty and outer beauty.
Advertising Feature
Your body and beauty in safe hands ROYAL AESTHETIC CLINIC is defined as a clinic dedicated to aesthetic medicine and anti-ageing therapies, including all possibilities in cosmetic surgery. They have state-of-the-art technology, top-level medical staff who are committed and highly qualified. The clinic offers a comprehensive and professional service to all its patients, backed by years of experience from its medical team. Their main objective is to provide patients with a better quality of life, prolonged over time and attenuating the ageing process. People’s image is of great impor-
tance in life, since their well-being and emotional balance depend on it to a large extent. Aesthetic means the conjunction of the inner beauty with the outer beauty, the coupling between what we feel and how we see ourselves. Royal Clinic will help you get your ‘Aesthetica’. The body naturally accumulates fat in certain parts of the body, depending on the patient. Many times this fat is very difficult to eliminate. Liposuction by zones eliminates accumulated fat and can be done in small areas as well as large areas or several zones. Liposuction is usually carried
out on the abdomen, flanks, hips or legs. But it can also be done in jowls, arms, wrists and ankles. The extracted fat does not grow back naturally, but if the patient does not have a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle over time it can regenerate new fat cells and regain weight. Liposuction is not recommended for patients who want to lose weight, but for those who want to lose volume. In the first few days after the intervention, due to inflammation, weight may increase, but it is reduced when the inflammation disappears, although it is not possible to be sure exactly how many kilos the patient may lose.
What is zone liposuction? Zone liposuction can be performed under local anaesthesia. It is a very simple process in which a small hole is made in the area to be treated, through which a liposuction cannula connected to a vacuum machine is introduced. The fatty tissue is detached and absorbed through this cannula. The only resulting scar is a small one at the point where the cannula is inserted, in most cases it is completely invisible.

IF you find it difficult to achieve straight, sleek hair without using hair straighteners, but hate the damage they can cause, one company may have come up with a solution.

It then uses this information to vary its heat, supposedly ensuring healthier hair which can be styled in half the time. Silky hair doesn’t come cheap, however, with the Platinum + selling for an eye-watering £175 (€200). Available in black and w h i t e f r o m w w w. g h d hair.com.

TECH FOR THE TIMID CHIPS may be smart, but are we, the users? In an era which is definitely higher tech than many of us are, take my neighbour ’s fancy new phone. Please. He happily downloads all sorts of goodies on it, then can’t find the downloads and constantly has to ask me. A recent survey found that most people barely use 10 per cent of their computers’ features or abilities. Many smartphone users have no idea how to access their phone’s settings, let alone change them. That sounds about right. Back in the old days of video recorders my partner never managed to get the thing to do anything more sophisticated than wipe my favourite movie, or record 240 minutes of snow. For those who spent the 70’s learning to master Tippex on typewriters, technophobia has become a contemporary affliction right up there with eating disorders, gadgetdriven sleep deprivation and unintentional suicide-by-selfie. Our parents thought they were

In fact it took my own father the best part of a week to get the hang of his simple office calculator, by Sharp, and then the boss threw him a curveball by swopping it for a Casio and he was stumped. These days manufacturers are churning out appliances able to do
all sorts of things many users simply cannot make them do or do not want them to do. We’re not just overwhelmed by the onward march of technology - we’re buried alive under several squillion avalanches of the stuff. Edison cylinders begat wax records which begat vinyl LPs
which begat digital CDs which begat MP3s and just as we and our bank balances have caught up with the begatting, they replace the lot again with something even more daunting and with a shelflife closely akin to a fruit-fly’s. Everything you buy is loaded to the chips with features. A feature is often something that you do not want, do not want to pay extra for, will never use, but cannot get the thing you do want without. Our new TV has a control panel which would shame a 747, a remote zapper looking like a small computer, a manual which has done serious damage to a Brazilian rain forest, and the ability to screen two programmes at once. Umm, why? Is there any consumer out there plain schizoid enough to want to watch two programmes at once? My long-suffering partner hasn’t even managed to get one programme on the darn thing yet, but give her time; she’s only on page 28 of the manual: ‘Taking the set out of the box.’

Finding help THE quickest way to solve a technical problem is to ask the nearest six-year-old. Seriously though, living in the 21st century and not knowing how to tweet or send an e-mail feels overwhelming. There’s an app for that, he said, then ducked. Technophobes are not alone. The internet is awash with dummies-type books, courses and self-help texts to help the technically-challenged, and some really do start at ‘Step One: switch on.’ Type ‘Smartphones for seniors’ into Google and you’ll be deluged with four million hits. ‘Learn Microsoft Office’ produced a breathtaking 315 million results last time I tried. ‘How to e-mail’: 11 billion hits! Or just ask a neighbour. As long as it’s not me. From now on, like Manuel in Fawlty Towers, ‘I know nuuuthing!’
Let the best man win Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man AS regular readers of my weekly rant fest know, I am one of the world’s finest armchair experts on all things sport. Near the top of the things I enjoy most is F1 motor racing and I’m a particularly big fan of Lewis Hamilton. I always watch it if I can. This week Lewis Hamilton won the Russian Grand Prix and traditionally, at the end of the race, there would be a great celebration. He usually leaps from his car, runs over to his massive team of mechanics and other Mercedes team members, and jumps at them hi-fiving and hugging the ones at the front. This week’s win did not go like that at all. Lewis sat in his car till the second place driver, his teammate Valtteri Bottas, got out of his car. Lewis then just walked over to Valtteri, shook his hand and told him he was sorry, then walked slowly off over to the Mercedes team. He shook a few hands and then went inside not really wanting to talk to anyone else. So why? Well this is the reason I’m grumpy. He didn’t actually win. He went over the line first but not because he was the best driver on the
day, but because of team orders that forced his teammate Bottas to move over and let Hamilton win. This is wrong in so many ways. Winning is not winning if you have to cheat and that’s what they did. They cheated the best driver on the day out of his rightful place. It wasn’t even that if Hamilton came second they would still not be in front in either the manufacturer’s or driver’s championship. And what about if you like a little flutter and had a few bob on Bottas to win, after seeing how he had performed to get pole position (first on grid)? How can this not be race fixing? If this is now the acceptable way of winning a race it shouldn’t be. The best have to win. We mustn’t let this ‘win at any cost’ get worse than it is. In F1 it’s obvious if it happens, but it’s the same in all sports. In the Olympics the whole of the Russian team was banned for drug taking. Lance Armstrong was a multi-winner but only because of drugs and the list goes on. I think the rules for F1 have to be changed. There must not be team orders. Every driver is there to win, not to make up the numbers. Mercedes should be fined and made to forfeit points. Let the old saying ‘May the best man win’ actually mean something.

Remembering the War to End All Wars
PARISH CHURCH: The choir in performance. THE English Choir of TeuladaMoraira has had a very busy 2018 and prior to the summer close down, once again saw the choir involved in the town’s Moors and Christian’s fiesta for the fifth year in a row. Indeed the choir opened the fiesta with a concert in Moraira’s beautiful parish church where dressed in their stylish black and gold they performed an ABBA medley and continued with a very varied programme. The Choir were also involved in the closing of the fiesta, singing from the ramparts of Moravia’s Castle as backing for the very exciting re-enactment battle depicting the Moors expulsion from Spain.
Benidorm Classics FOR the third year, the Benidorm Council is sponsoring a series of free Classical Music Concerts at the Salon de Actos during October starting at 8pm. The next concert will be tomorrow (Friday) featuring Francisco Fullana on violin and José María Villegas on piano, then the following Friday sees nine students from the local music conservatory who had seen success at the Marina Baixa intercentre competition. Finally, on Friday October 26, two local musicians, saxophonist Ignacio Gascón and pianist Ivet Frontela will close this year’s series of concerts.
After a well-earned summer break the choir are now back in their Teulada rehearsal rooms, where they are preparing a very exciting Autumn Project entitled The War to End All Wars in the celebration of it being 100 years since the end of the first World War. The concert will be at Espai La Senieta Theatre in Moraira on November 2 and 3 and there will be an exhibition of Great War memorabilia in the same building which runs from October 29 to November 18 with much of the artwork provided by Lady Elizabeth School and Javea International College students, some of whom will also be joining the choir on stage to play a part in the concert.
The choir president Susan Elles has been researching the event since January and she has written a script which is at times very poignant, at times very joyful, telling the story of the conflict with poems and popular music of the time. The concert will be in support of the Alzheimer’s Association and the Royal British Legion. Tickets for the concert cost €12 are available from Janet Brown on 965 745 091 or janetbrowncraft@gmail.com. For any other information about the choir or if you would like to sing with them please contact Judith on 634 348 915 or visit www.theenglishchoir teulada.com.

Heir hunters on the prowl ON dying in 1973, the owner of a Barceloneta apartment building had no wife or children to inherit the property. His nearest relations declined to take on the legacy but decades later two descendants, presumably contacted by an ‘heir hunting’ company, claimed their inheritance in high-rent Barceloneta. Forty-three years earlier when their landlord died, tenants of the 12 apartments asked at the Chamber of Housing and the town hall what they should do. The officials were unsure but one recommended that they paid the IBI rates. ‘That way you won’t have problems,’ they were assured. For the next 43 years they did not pay rent but paid all taxes, made necessary repairs and installed natural gas. As registered tenants died or moved out, their apart-

But last year the building, still in the dead owner ’s name, was re-registered to two people and a company. The tenants, asked to leave
by an intermediary, refused to go. In June this year a new proprietor contacted them, asking to be recognised as the owner with another request to
vacate their homes.”For more than 40 years the tenants have acted as owners. Without us, this would be a ruin,” said Antonia who was born in the
building in 1943. Montse Serrano, the lawyer representing the tenants, claimed that this is not an isolated case. “We can’t say for certain why this late claim was made, Serrano admitted. “But we know that forensic genealogy and probate research companies are proliferating. They track down the relatives of people whose estates were never claimed, charging a commission on the inheritance.” Two tenants have started legal proceedings to claim ownership of their apartments as they can prove that they lived there for more than 30 years, acting as owners and ‘occupying the property peacefully, publicly and continuously’. Others will follow suit once they have the necessary documents.

I’m (not) leaving home YOUNG Spanish people tend to leave home at 29, compared with the EU average of 26. Sociologists attributed these latest Eurostat figures to ‘cultural reasons’ coupled with unemployment amongst the young and precarious jobs when they do find work. Limited official help when buying a starter property also helps to keep Spaniards in the parental home they pointed out. Amongst the 19 countries belonging to the Eurozone, Spain ranks sixth from the bottom when it came to flying the nest, ahead of Italy, Slovakia, the republics of the former Yugoslavia, Croatia and Malta. In 2017, the average wage for the 16-29 age group was just over €11,000 while those between 30 and 34 took home an average €15,000, according to the Youth Council of Spain. On these salaries, buying a property for under-29s swallows 60 per cent of their earnings and 40 per cent for the 3034 age group, well above the

‘healthy, stabilised and would continue growing until 2022.’ But it was important to pay attention to the young, they warned, as their continued difficulty in getting a foot on the property ladder also contributed to the drop in demand.

IN 1985, the UN introduced Habitat Day, reflecting on the state of the world’s towns and cities. Twelve years later, the International Union of Architects decided to hold World Architecture Day on the same day, underlining the profession’s commitment to society. In Madrid this year, thanks to Open House Madrid and the Madrid College of Architects (COAM), the public could visit more than 100 city buildings which usually restrict admission. These ranged from the austerity of Alejandro de la Sota’s1962 Colegio Maravillas gymnasium in Calle Joaquin Costa to Palacio Longoria, the Spanish-Modernist building now occupied by the Spanish Society of Authors and Publishers. The public were able to see inside the Cuartel General del Ejercito (Air Force)

headquarters, constructed between 1943 and 1958, and visit contemporary buildings including the Ciudad BBVA complex by the Swiss architecture studio Herzog & De Meuron. The car wash designed by Lina Tor, named Behind the scenes, was also on the list, as was the Castellana 77 office block together with the Art Deco Hotel Vincci Capitol and Zarzuela Race Course. “A city’s architecture reflects its history,” said Jose Maria Ezquiaga, who heads COAM. “It is not possible to talk about one style of architecture in Madrid because styles vary so much in terms of the moment,” continued Ezquiaga, whose personal preference is for the neoclassical El Prado by Juan de Villanueva (1739-1811). The Open House initiative originated in London in 1992 to encourage appreciation, understanding and knowledge of contemporary and historic buildings, recognising quality above the age of the constructions. Twenty years later, Open House is celebrated in more than 40 cities which include New York, Paris, Chicago, Jerusalem and Buenos Aires.

WHILE Spain’s property market may be improving, some prices have yet to regain their pre-financial crash value. This may mean some owners would prefer to sit on the property, waiting until prices rise as experts have projected they will. If this sounds like you, why not make some extra income in the meantime and rent out your home? Returns on Spanish rental properties reached 7.8 per cent earlier this year, a 6 per cent increase on the year before and significantly more than the interest rates offered by banks. But while rental income is generally on the rise, not all properties were created equal and there can be significant disparities in the profits to b e m a d e i n d i ff e r e n t r e gions of Spain. According to one Spanish real estate company, Idealista, the highest profits on residential property are to be found in the Ca-

P e r h a p s s u r p r i s i n g l y, some of the lowest rates of return could be found in Madrid and Barcelona at 5.4 per cent and 4.9 per cent respectively.

Fit for a king WHILE most people might come to Spain looking to buy a seafront apartment or perhaps even a rustic finca, there is still a market for the slightly more unique property. There may not be as many for sale as in France or Italy, but Spain offers its fair share of castles or manor houses for sale. But unless you get very lucky it is going to cost you a quite a lot. This impressive castle comes in at a cool â‚Ź14.5 million but you do get a lot for your money. It comes with an estate of 450 hectares located in Badajoz region, about a 2.5-hour drive from Lisbon and Sevilla and three hours from Madrid. The castle was built in the 13th century and currently belongs to a family whose ancestors bought it in 1906 and undertook a major reform, leaving the castle in perfect condition. It has about 50 living spaces including six large bedrooms, three bathrooms and nine lounges. The rest consist of offices, a small muse-

well-known for their excellence in the breeding of Iberian pigs. There is also a hunting ground where you can shoot wood pigeons, turtle doves, thrushes, wild boar and deer. It is the best area of Spain for hunting wood pigeons, being close to the San Pedro mountains, according to agents Moulin.

Grow your own veggies WITH healthy eating on the rise and increasing food costs, there’s never been a better time to have a go at growing your own fruit and vegetables. Spain’s soil can be very fertile and with a little effort a vegetable patch here could prove very productive. Autumn weather may be cooler but temperatures are still warm enough to grow many crops, so why not try out some of the foods suggested below? Spinach is a great source of iron and can be grown both in a container or in the ground, providing leaves for salads and numerous other dishes once mature. Garlic has also been shown to be beneficial for heart health and also excels in Spanish growing conditions. Plant out using existing bulbs bought for eating and place in the soil root down around four inches apart. Expect growth around spring time. Carrots are fantastic vegetables for eye health and are a rich source
of antioxidants which can reduce the risk of cancer. They also do well in Spanish climates and can be grown from seed straight in the soil in rows around three to four inches apart. Plant in soil that is damp but not wet and do not allow the seeds to dry out. Spring onions provide excellent flavouring to a variety of dishes, particularly oriental food. They also provide good amounts of vitamins A, K, and C. Plant out shopbought spring onions roots down after first drilling a hole in welldrained soil around 1.5cm deep and at least 15cm away from other crops. Be careful not to over-water. Finally, the humble potato makes up a large part of many dishes, from a plate of chips to mash, roasties, and even hash browns. This staple can easily be grown at home by first buying potatoes with sprouts already growing from them. Cut these sections off and place them in a warm, moderately

around four inches of plant showing before harvesting when the potatoes mature.

THERE are a lot of myths when it comes to pool heating costs, because many people still think of gas, electrical or high-maintenance solar panel heating systems. However the only solution that is truly economical and fail-safe is the air source heat pump. It is widely used for domestic heating across Europe and requires only a small amount of electricity to extract heat from the air and transfer it to the water. A high quality heat pump ensures you can enjoy your pool 365 days of the year, getting the best out of your investment while swimming in water temperatures of 28°C for less than €2 per day. While the sun shines for free, most sunlight-based systems (such as solar mats or vacuum tubing panels) require you to leave the filter pump running continuously in order to reach proper temperatures, especially on less sunny days. This can boost your electric bill by €300, to €950 a year. Costs to operate gas and electrical heaters can range from €300 to €500 per month and even more, depending on the fuel or electrical costs within your region. Air source heat pumps do not require direct sunlight, just the ambient Spanish air is

The smarter way ‘LIFE’S too short,’ as they say. And with constant pressures on our time most of us would welcome ways to make the best of it. While over-use of technology gets rather a bad rap, some advances can help make our lives easier and give us back more free time. So if you’re a gadget fan who always seems to be pushed for time, why not consider one of the many smart devices now available for homes? The kitchen is where we can spend hours each week, preparing meals, restocking supplies and making endless hot drinks. Luckily, advances in technology have made these processes easier, offering products such as smart fridges. These appliances offer the same advantages as normal fridges but with a built-in tablet on the front door which functions as a communication centre for the rest of the house and even takes photographs of the inside of your fridge to let you know what foods you’re low on. Smart technology can help the hardiest of caffeine addicts, allowing us to cut down on the amount of time spent waiting for the kettle to boil and instead wake up or come home to already-prepared coffee. A connected coffee machine, which can be controlled via smartphone, can make the perfect cup every time. If a cocktail after a hard day is more your thing, a smart drink maker might be the answer.

MANY folk have so many different opinions of the muzzle. Of course anyone that sees a dog with a muzzle automatically assumes that the dog is dangerous, although this is not always the case. There are many types of muzzles but whatever one you choose make certain that the dog is able to breathe. The muzzle that I recommend is the Baskerville which is marketed by the eminent Roger Mugford. This is a basket design and allows near unrestricted mouth opening for panting and drinking. These are available at most good pet shops and many vets stock them. They come in 12 sizes to ensure that a good fit is available for most breeds of dogs.

KT16 OPU UK. Google them. I encourage all owners to
train their dogs to wear a muzzle, the earlier in the dog’s life the better. Most
young dogs are destructive; a muzzle will protect your home from being eaten.
A muzzle will ensure that your dog is unable to eat any rubbish or poison on the
ground that alone is worth training for. When visiting the vet it can also be useful for nervous dogs to wear a muzzle and also when a dog has been operated on. Wearing a muzzle is another way to prevent him from licking the wound. In the event of an emergency, if you do not have a muzzle then one can always tie the leash around the dog’s mouth to prevent it biting. I would add that a muzzle does not cure bad behaviour but it is useful whilst an effective therapeutic strategy is developed.

Vinfast vies for attention VINFAST, a subsidiary of Vietnemese conglomerate Vingroup, unveiled its first two passenger vehicles to large crowds of journalists at the Paris Motor Show on Tuesday. This relatively new entrant to the world of car manufacturing revealed an SUV and a saloon
in what is thought to be a long line of planned machines including a range of electric cars, buses and scooters. The LUX A2.0 Sedan and the LUX SA2.0 SUV are Italian designed, with European technology and ‘Vietnamese spirit.’
They are understood to have been developed following an unusual nationwide poll of 62,000 people in Vietnam, in which participants chose their favourite design from a range of sketches. The results are sleek and modern, and Le Thi Thu Thuy, chairwoman of VinFast, said: “With our ambitious plans to bring these two vehicles to market in such a short time, it was crucial for us to make a big entrance and an immediate impact, and we did that today.” Ex-football star David Beckham also addressed the crowds at the press conference, with Beckham stating that it was ‘a thrill to be in Paris to celebrate the arrival of a new carmaker on the global stage.’ He added that he could see how the VinFast design team had been able to evoke ‘such a beautiful country in the lines of these amazing new cars.’ Vingroup launched the project just over a year ago and has already built a sprawling 355hectare factory in northern Vietnam, capable of producing a rumoured 250,000 cars per year.

Premier League Preview
Gunners run riot Credit: @Arsenal/Twitter
AARON RAMSEY scored a goal of the season contender as Arsenal thrashed Fulham 5-1 at Craven Cottage. Alexandre Lacazette scored two impressive goals before substitute Ramsay added a third and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted twice. After losing their opening two Premier League games to Manchester City and Chelsea, Arsenal are showing real signs of progress under manager Unai Emery. A sixth consecutive league victory moves the Gunners up to fourth in the table, while Fulham remain just above the drop zone in 17th. Arsenal will next host Leicester on October 22, while Fulham will travel to Cardiff. Chelsea claimed a classy 3-0 win at Southampton, with Ross Barkley setting up their opener with a fine pass to Eden Hazard who finished clinically. Barkley then got on the scoresheet himself, tapping in from Olivier Giroud’s acrobatic cross. Alvaro Morato capped off proceedings with Chelsea’s third in injury time, chipping over oncoming goalkeeper Alex McCarthy after a slick passing move.
WONDER GOAL: Aaron Ramsay’s backheeled goal came after he’d just entered the pitch.
The Blues have now won nine of their 11 games across all competitions this season, while Southampton remain without a win against the Premier League’s big six in 26 games. Chelsea will entertain Manchester United on October 20, with Southampton travelling to Bournemouth. Riyad Mahrez missed a glorious opportunity to claim all three points for Manchester City against Liverpool at Anfield, when he skied a late penalty into the stands. It was an otherwise cagey and dull 0-0 draw, and City have not won a league game at Anfield for 15 years. Liverpool’s star attacking trio were unable to impose themselves as City defenders Aymeric Laporte and John Stones excelled themselves at the back. However, both managers were pleased with the result which sees them tied at the top of the league with Chelsea. Liverpool will be hosted by Huddersfield on October 20, while Man City will face Burnley. Other fixtures after the international break will see West Ham host Tottenham, Crystal Palace travel to Everton, and Newcastle entertain Brighton.

La Liga Preview
Atletico saved by Angel ANGEL CORREA scored the winning goal as Atletico Madrid went third in La Liga by edging past Real Betis 1-0. Substitute Correa stroked home low into the corner from
the edge of the box following Thomas Partey’s flicked pass. Atletico had gone top temporarily on Sunday, but were pushed down to third after Sevilla beat Celta Vigo 2-1.
Real Madrid extended their winless run to four games as Manu Garcia’s late goal secured a shock 1-0 win for Alaves. Garcia headed the winner in the fifth minute of added time to clinch Alaves’ first La Liga victory over Real since 1931. The win moves Alaves joint top of the table alongside bighitters Barcelona and Real Madrid. Jolen Lopetegui’s side have now lost three times in four matches without scoring. Lionel Messi’s fine goal was not enough as Barcelona were held to a frustrating 1-1 with Valencia. Barca fell behind when Gerard Pique made a mess of a clearance and Ezequiel Garay tapped in at the back post. Messi then swapped passes with Luis Suarez and drilled in from 20 yards to equalise. But despite having 75 per cent of possession, Barca could only muster five shots all game, and could not find a winner.

champion Galen Rupp recorded the same time as Farah posted in London in finishing fifth in Chicago on Sunday. “It was great to run with Galen, who won last year, then to be able to come back and win it for myself,” said Farah. Kenya’s Brigid Kosgei, r u n n e r- u p i n L o n d o n a n d also in last year ’s Chicago race, captured the women’s title in 2:18:35.

Hamilton on track for title LEWIS HAMILTON moved to the brink of a fifth World Championship with a lightsto-flag Japanese Grand Prix victory. Mercedes’ Hamilton was dominant as title rival Sebastian Vettel ran into trouble attempting to gain ground from eighth place on the grid. Vettel spun to the back after colliding with Max Verstappen when trying to move for third place at the difficult Spoon Curve - but recovered to finish sixth. The result means Ferrari’s Vettel is 67 points behind Hamilton and according to results, the Briton has the
chance to claim the title at the US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. He will do so if he wins the race and Vettel is lower than second, or Hamilton scores eight more points than him. Hamilton’s team was so comfortable as he was out in front on his way to his sixth win in seven races that he at one point asked his team if they were still there, so little did they need to talk to him. After a couple of early overtakes, Vettel was promoted to fourth at the end of the first lap when Verstappen locked his front wheel, ran
wide and pushed Kimi Raikkonen off when rejoining the track, allowing Vettel to slip past his teammate. After a restart from the safety car, Vettel collided with Verstappen trying to get through on the inside into Spoon, and the German spun to the back of the field. Vettel managed to claw his way back to sixth place, but could make no further headway. “We have stayed on course with our plan and we are continuing to deliver at the strength and pace we have for a while now,” said Hamilton.

Basilashvili claimed the solitary early break in the third game of the first set, and after digging deep to hold for a 4-2 lead, the Georgian served out the opener in 45 minutes. A tight second set followed with the first break
point arriving in the eighth game, with Basilashvili eventually holding. Basilashvili finally broke del Potro in the following game to serve for the match after a poor attempted drop shot from the Argentinian failed to clear the net. Del Potro survived back-to-back match points, but Basilashvili took the third opportunity to seal the victory. Basilashvili is set to move up to 23rd in the world rankings on Monday. At the Japan Open, Daniil Medvedev beat Kei Nishikori 6-2 6-4 in the final.
