Airport security warning A BRITISH holidaymaker, who was returning to the UK after a week in sunny Spain, claims he was robbed of £400 cash and his credit cards when his rucksack passed through the security system at a Costa airport. Retired Kev Lomax from Crewe told the Euro Weekly News how he had just spent a fantastic week on the Costa Blanca. Kev said: “All was well until we got to the Alicante airport. “I had my euros on me, so foolishly I left my other wallet with my English money in my rucksack. He said: “The only time my bag was out of sight was when it went through the security scanner. “I walked through the scanner, but then the belt stopped while security men changed over. “That was the only place my bag was out of sight.” He went on: “I didn’t need pounds so I didn’t find it missing until I got to Liverpool airport. “I felt sick when I found it was missing with all my cards and £400 cash.” Kev has gone public with his warning saying: “Keep your money on you at the airport at all time.

‘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 AntiDoping 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

BRACED: Robles (centre, left) spoke following a NATO meeting. 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 dia-
logue,” 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 cyberdefence capabilities. 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. The National Festival of Spain (Fiesta Nacional de España) goes deeper than celebrations of the armed forces. It also commemorates Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Americas in 1492. The occasion
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.

Rape suspect POLICE have arrested a 22-year-old man in connection with a serious sexual assault on a young woman on Sunday morning in Benicalap. The victim was allegedly attacked in a residential courtyard after agreeing to have a drink with the suspect. He allegedly became aggressive when she resisted his numerous advances, restraining her and covering her mouth with his hand while he assaulted her. He then reportedly stole €25 from
her purse and ran off inside the nearby block of apartments. The victim began shouting for help and neighbours who came to her aid contacted the police. They took a description and began knocking on doors, eventually tracing the detained suspect in bed at his father’s home. The 22-year-old was transferred to the Central Guard Inspectorate, and is being held awaiting a court date.

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.

A hidden danger
TWO people have been arrested on suspicion of carrying out a series of ‘robberies with force’ in the Murcia region. According to police sources, several houses in secluded, rural areas and an industrial warehouse were broken into in Archena and Librilla, last month.
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.

Disgusted by vomit A BRITISH expat couple travelling to the UK on a Ryanair flight from Spain were appalled to discover their seats caked in what they claim was ‘dry vomit.’ British expats Fred and Sheila McInerney, who are residents in Alicante, flew with Ryanair from their local airport to Bristol to watch a football match with their son. However, when boarding their flight at Alicante airport on Friday, September 28, they were shocked to find their allocated seats were covered in what they claim was ‘dry vomit.’ They claim the leather upholstery and seat belts of their allotted seats were filthy and had not been cleaned. To make matters worse, the couple allege that upon notifying the cabin crew they were told bringing back the cleaning crew was out of the question as it would delay the flight’s departure.

it would delay the flight.” Mr and Mrs McInerney asked to change seats and claim there were empty seats available in the emergency exits of the plane. However, the Ryanair cabin crew instead asked another
passenger to swap with the couple and to endure the flight in the filthy seats. A Ryanair spokesman has said: “All Ryanair aircraft are thoroughly cleaned by professionals at the end of each day, in line with indus-
try standards, and cabin crew carry out a cabin tidy and toilet check at the end of every flight, during turnaround. “In this instance, the customers in question were moved to other seats.”

Fake gas inspectors A TRADE association that represents genuine gas installation and maintenance engineers in Spain has issued a new warning about fake ‘inspectors’ preying on vulnerable people. The body points out that as autumn and cooler weather has arrived the number of scams being reported is on the up. The scam is targeted mainly at the elderly and the association is calling on good neighbours to alert the vulnerable how the fraudsters act. “Often they pose as technicians of the gas company, often dressed in uniform, or
they say they come from the town hall or from the corresponding autonomous community,” says José María de la Fuente, the president of Agremia. The scammers turn up on the doorstep without warning to say that they have to conduct a gas inspection. They will generally declare the installation has a serious defect but charge exhorbitant prices for minor parts. There are reports that some people have been conned out of more than €100 to replace an out-ofdate gas hose that would cost around €5 from a hardware
store and take just minutes for the average person to easily change themselves. And Agremia, has reported that, sometimes, these false gas inspectors pressure people by saying that failure to carry out the review and the subsequent repairs will put their safety and that of their neighbors in serious danger. These fraudsters also sometimes say that if the inspection is not carried out, the gas can be cut off or they can be subject to heavy fines. The association recommends calling the police in case a stranger shows up at your door without a prior appointment.

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 produce 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

contaminated, was apparently buried in eight ditches alongside the waterway. The sites remain without any warning signs.
A spokesperson for CSN said the Ecological Transition Ministry is working on legal changes to allow for the approval of an official list of contaminated sites in Spain.

Franco funeral bid By Tara Rippin THE family of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, want him to be buried with full ‘military honours’ if his remains are exhumed. His seven grandchildren have filed a petition with the Ombudsman’s Office to stop the removal of Franco’s body from the Valley of the Fallen monument, a move which has
been approved by the Spanish Congress. But if the plans go ahead, the dictator’s family want him to be buried inside La Almudena Cathedral in the centre of Madrid. His relations have reportedly argued that under a 2010 decree, Franco is entitled to a military funeral with the ‘complete national anthem, volley shots and a
cannon gun salute.’ The decree states that this type of ceremony is granted to the Spanish king, the royal family, the prime minister, the defence minister, chief staffs of the forces, as well as general officers of the army, navy and air force. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez pledged that Franco’s remains will be exhumed to strip him of his privileged po-

Migrants sent back SPAIN is in talks with Morocco to discuss the repatriation of thousands of child migrants. According to a Spanish interior ministry spokesman, 7,000 child migrants have arrived to Spain from Morocco without parents or guardians. Three thousand other unaccompanied children from other African nations have arrived to Spanish territories, making 10,000 in total. The issue was recently on the table at a bilateral meeting between Spain and Morocco in Essaouira on the Moroccan coast. Spain’s secretary of state for migration, Consuelo Rumi claims he ‘perceived a willingness’ on the part of Morocco to take unaccompanied
Moroccan minors back in. The migrant children will, however, continue living in Spain until an official agreement is reached: “There is no concrete plan yet, this is part of negotiations, of a diplomatic process,” added Rumi. The 10,000 unaccompanied child migrants that have arrived to Spain have been placed under the protection of the regions where they originally arrived. This has caused a disproportionate amount of the migrants falling under the protection of Andalucia and Spain’s southern coast as well as Spain’s African enclaves Ceuta and Melilla.
sition 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.

PUMPS: Labelling system will be phased in from this month.
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,
Tu r k e y, S e r b i a , N o r w a y, 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 percentage content of the substance. As such, there will be petrol E5, currently known as 95, E10 (98) and E85. With diesel, the B relates
to the content of biodiesel, followed by a number seven or 10. Paraffinic diesel will be indicated by the letters XTL. And gases will change to H2 for hydrogen, CNG (compressed natural gas), LNG (liquefied gas) and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas). In addition to the pumps, new cars will also be labelled in the same format. The implementation in petrol stations will be carried gradually, allowing a period of time in which the old and new systems will coexist.

Montserrat Caballé passes away OPERATIC SINGER: Montserrat Caballé 1933-2018. THE Spanish operatic singer, Montserrat Caballé, best known by Brits for her ‘Barcelona’ duet with Queen’s Freddie Mercury, has died aged 85. 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 voice to be ‘the best in the world.’ The single was followed by an album of the same name which was released the following year and featured further collaborations between the two performers. Caballé also performed the song live, accompanied by a recording by Mercury, who had died in 1991, before the 1999 UEFA Champions League football final in Barcelona’s Camp Nou stadium. She died on October 6 at the age of 85, after being admitted to hospital in Barcelona last month.

SOS Mediterranee’ missions were put on hold last Thursday as the Aquarius made a stopover in Marseille, but the crew said it was ‘determined to
go back to sea as soon as possible.’ The group urged European governments to find a new flag to secure the ship’s future after Panama’s maritime authority removed the vessel’s registration. The Aquarius transferred 58 migrants, who had been stuck at sea for 58 days, to a Maltese
naval vessel last weekend. They were expected to be taken to four countries which agreed to accept them, Spain, France, German and Portugal. Aquarius has been in the news over the past year for a series of rescues, and for being refused leave to land migrants in Italy, instead heading for Spain.

NO VOTE: Sanchez has ruled out calling a snap election.
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 administra-
tion 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 leg-
islative 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).

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.”

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

Why can’t I insure a car with a UK licence? admit your EU driving licence issued in Spain in order to get an insurance for the car you are trying to buy in the UK. The only reason I could find is that you are 72 or almost that age and, according to British law, if you had a licence issued in the UK you would have to renew it when you were 73 (every three years from when you are 70). But this would not be the case for your driving licence has been issued in Spain, in accordance with Spanish law, and must reflect on it a validity period of five years. My opinion is that perhaps you should contact the British Consulate in Alicante, show your situation there and, if necessary, raise a claim before the Consumer Protection office in the UK or before the EU institutions.
Letter from a client HELLO, With reference to EU Licences, as I live in Spain for more than 183 days a year, I changed my UK licence to an EU one two years ago when I reached the age of 70. I now find that I cannot get insurance in the UK to enable me to buy a vehicle. All the online forms stipulate a UK licence. I had one for 53 years and it was clean. I passed my test three months after my 17th birthday. But it all counts for nothing now.I would like to buy a UK motorhome and drive it down and then have it re-registered, but that is not possible. What is the point of one licence if insurance companies do not recognise it ? I was even turned down by my brotherin-law’s company when he wanted to add me to his insurance so that I could drive his car for a couple of weeks, purely because I had an EU licence. T h e re a re p l e n t y o f p e o p l e i n S p a i n with UK licences who have bought Spanish registered cars. Do you have any advice for me ?
JUAN ANGEL (SOLICITOR): Helping to explain licence and insurance law.
Answer A single European driving licence was introduced on January 19, 2013, in accordance with EU Directive 2006/126/EEC. Holders of driving licences issued in any EU country with an indefinite validity period or one exceeding 15 years
must renew them two years after they become residents in Spain. The renewed driving licences are submitted to Spanish law. In your own particular case, it means you have to renew it every five years, for you are over 65-years-old. I do not understand why, as you say, any British insurance company does not

TV COUCH CRITIC
11 - 17 October 2018
by Adam Whalley-Lewis DR WHO returned to BBC1 on Sunday and despite the first episode of the new series being set in Sheffield (was I the only one expecting the guys from The Full Monty to put in a guest appearance?) Jodie Whittaker landed pretty well. I’m guessing that a gaggle of male fans now won’t now need to hide their Dr posters and I’m pretty sure Jodie will have some female fans too. I wasn’t too sure about Bradley Walsh being the Dr’s sidekick, I mean, would The Governess even fit in the Tardis, but he was great and so were Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole. The new Doctor handled a beast roaming the back streets of Sheffield, memory loss and all new hair and make up with ease. You don’t need to already be a fan or to watch each week to enjoy the new series, but a little bit like having your personal favourite James Bond, you might find yourself being slightly nostalgic for an earlier time when you hid behind the sofa when the daleks appeared. Dr Who continues next Sunday on BBC1. Sticking with BBC1 and Sunday evening, Claudia and Tess were back to guide us

Dr Who, didn’t she do well? Credit: BBC/Steve Schofield
FEATURE
GOOD START: Jodie Whittaker is the new Dr Who. through the latest offering from Strictly Come Dancing last week and boy did we need a guide. Gladys Knight was fab-u-lous, who doesn’t love a James Bond theme, but as for the rest of the show, what on earth was going on? I had barely recovered from Bruno throwing himself off his chair, presumably attention seeking, when the professional dancers appeared in a sort of home-made fish pond, proceeded to cover each other in water, were rained on and then all headed off for a hot shower.
Some classics, Singing in the Rain amongst them, don’t need a modern take thank you and certainly not one where the objective was to make the dance costumes see-through. What would Sir Bruce have made of it? Lee Ryan and Nadiya Bychkova were the second couple to be voted off, which surprised nobody, least of all Lee. Your next dose of Strictly is on BBC1, Saturday evening. Monkman and Seagull concluded their (very strange) Genius Guide to Britain on
BBC2, Monday evening. If you haven’t heard of Eric and Bobby before, they found fame (not my words) via University Challenge and as the BBC seems to like to do, were given their own show. You will recognise the format, put two celebrities in a car and film them driving around Britain. The problem here though is that Eric and Bobby are brilliant at being really academic and their intellect is beyond question, but you get the sense that Mum did their road trip packing and someone in the production crew needed to remind them to put petrol in the car. They tried to use their brilliance to work stuff out, but even when they got it a bit wrong (they didn’t actually manage to get the height of that well-known mast in Yorkshire right) they still congratulated themselves for being brilliant. Maybe a better pairing would have been The Archbishop of York and Jeremy Kyle, what do you think? Speaking of Archbishop John, he’s got a gig on Friday this week at the wedding of Jack and Princess Eugenie, ITV Friday morning. Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes will be wearing their posh frocks to play TV host, well that’s if HMRC haven’t caught up with Eamonn and impounded his top hat.

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. mikesenker@gmail.com

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

A feature too far in our gadgets? Terence Kennedy considers a disease of our time: technophobia
DON’T PANIC: Fear only fear itself. going boldly when they mastered the calculator. 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!’

Nick Horne The Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England A WIDE body jet is not a small thing. It’s quite big and roomy. A cabin length a touch over 50 metres, some five metres in width, in airline configuration would carry 440 passengers. It could have several rooms instead. As you regularly fly from Marbella, Mallorca or Malaga you will be familiar with Boeings and Airbus aircraft, most probably B737s and A320s. These aircraft types are the work horses of short haul. On longer range flights you will be familiar with the larger aircraft types and these are a real step up in comfort and service levels. Recall to mind the last occasion you walked aboard, the long narrow aisle before you and the guided search for your seat. Imagine something else; coming home onboard your very own aircraft. An ACJ350 with a cabin space of 2,910 square feet or 270 square metres at your personal disposal. Not just one tightish seat and seat back with an entertainment system, but a panoramic window looking out across the curve of the rim of the planet. Or a cyber window that will display a view of anywhere through a digital window in the side of the aircraft. A convivial meal served at a dining table, a shower before a restful sleep in a full size bed. Of course you may not travel alone. Your crew of eight and the aircraft can accommodate a throng of 25 chosen to make up your select party. All will be very well cared for indeed as you travel home. Lufthansa Technik AG, a massive engineering

company headquartered in the German city of Hamburg with a truly global footprint, outfit aircraft and care for them. Nose to tail. They know how impatient you as an owner can be to get airborne. Once you have acquired your aircraft from Airbus you do not want to spend two or three years while it is outfitted. In a collaboration with Mercedes Benz, the automobile manufacturer, a ‘style sheet’ has been created allied to their investment in the preparatory engineering design being developed and executed so that the interval between construction of your Airbus A350 and its outfitting and delivery to you is as brief as possible. Besides providing connectivity in flight that is now considered essential and normal, issues around health and well-being are addressed also. This unique cabin concept places the human being at the centre and was first presented at Geneva and most recently at the Monaco Yacht Show as ‘Welcome Home.’ A contemporary solution as the spaces or rooms in the cabin are flexible and allow for individual privacy or valuable family time.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) A business partnership takes on a
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.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) As you are in the limelight, it comes as no surprise that admiration comes your way. What may surprise you, however, is the direction it comes from. Who would have thought that such a situation would arise?

He pined away and was changed into the flower that bears his name. 2. According to the famous nursery rhyme, children born on which day of the week are ‘loving and giving’? 3. Released in 1963, what was the title of the second in the James Bond film series? 4. Which American city is known as the City of Brotherly Love? 5.

Described as ‘one of the most brilliant of all Baroque portraits’, The Laughing Cavalier (1624) is a portrait by which Dutch
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.

Beautiful calendars WHILE Christmas may still be some way off, beauty companies aren’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 gimmicky, and of course 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.

Dealing with burnout WE all know the feeling. Work, family commitments, bills, social functions and travel start to pile up, leaving it easy to feel we have too little time to just relax. That’s why one yoghurt company, Kaiku, is sharing tips on juggling all of one’s life’s responsibilities, freeing up more time to spend on the things we enjoy most. The manufacturer, which has just launched its new lactose-free product, MIX, claims multitasking is the answer for those with too little time on their hands. Kaiku, whose new product comes with an in-built spoon and is designed to be eaten on the go, says we should take advantage of small moments, whether it’s while w a i t i n g i n t r a ff i c o r o n p u b l i c transport, to check on our to-do lists, planning our week’s shopping or evening meals. The company also suggests planning ahead and taking healthy snacks such as yoghurt with us when we travel, preventing the need to stop for a prolonged meal
RELAX: Take a break from a busy schedule.
when we’re short of time or making the wrong food choices. Spain’s social scene can also see us dashing from work to an event with little time in between to change. The company suggests a good way to change our look without e ff o r t i s t o i n v e s t i n v e r s a t i l e clothes which can transition from an office outfit to a night-time event: a colourful blazer, a printed dress or experimenting with accessories and shoes can transform a look completely. The company explains the most important way to manage our time when we have competing responsibilities is to maintain a positive attitude. Kaiku explains leaving too little time for ourselves can be damaging and that it is important to be aware that there will be days when we are less productive than others. Finally, it advises, “to maintain a positive attitude, there is nothing like celebrating fulfilled goals and taking a break. Attitude is everything.”

Brain food WITH life expectancy ever increasing, many of us are looking for ways to improve our quality of life and reverse any damage caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. Fortunately, researchers in Spain have found a way of reversing brain damage brought about by high-fat diets. A study at the Jaume I University in Castella de la Plana found mice which were given high levels of fat developed damage to their nervous system similar to that in Alzheimer’s patients, but that this was reversed when they were fed a plant hormone. This hormone, abscisic acid, was found to reduce inflammation in the part of the brain where we store memories. Researchers believe this effect may be caused because abscisic acid helps regulate insulin levels which, when out of balance, can cause inflammation in insulin receptors in the hippocampus, the region of the brain which governs long-term memories. Inflammation of the nervous-system and unregulated insulin levels are both linked to Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia. The study’s author, Alberto Ribes Navarro, explained: “We have been able to prove that the expression of proteins required for the proper functioning of insulin decreases in neuro-inflammatory situations
induced by a high-fat diet.” He added: “With the addition of abscisic acid to the high-fat diet it is possible to rebalance the regulation of these genes, even helping them reach normal levels.” Abscisic acid is found in a plant’s xylem (the stem) and is used by plants to help with growth and development of tolerance to harsh conditions. The hormone is found naturally in fruit and vegetables. A 2015 study into the acid also found it played a role in regulating blood sugar, which could in turn help delay the development of diabetes. Ana Maria Sanchez, who headed up this latest study, shows how this new evidence goes even further, even undoing damage caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. She concluded: “We have verified how a vegetable hormone, abscisic acid, is able to counter the negative effects that a high-fat diet has on the central nervous system.”
REPAIR: Fruit and vegetables can reverse damage.

Benefits of the great outdoors TV’S Dr Hilary Jones has been wellloved for his practical health advice since first appearing on our screens on TV-AM in 1989. The GP is still dispensing wisdom on a regular slot on ITV’s Lorraine and has now appeared at the Motorhome and Caravan Show 2018, espousing the virtues of outdoor activities. An advocate of preventative measures in support of good health, Dr Hilary says there’s many aspects of camping and leisure vehicle activities that support both mental and physical well-being. “Two out of five GP consultations today are concerned with mental health,” says Dr Hilary. “More people are finding it difficult to manage psychological issues. We also have an obesity epidemic and problems with type-two diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, and I am very opposed to prescribing medication when lifestyle changes could make such a difference. “Of course, everybody enjoys a holiday and setting apart quality leisure time is essential.

trips and adventures, and encourage family time as well as getting outdoors, exercise, a change of scenery, new adventures and socialising. “Being outside and fresh air is quite simply good for us: most people don’t realise that indoor pollution is considerable, and even worse than outdoor. Spending lots of time indoors means an accumulation of the symptoms of modern living, such as dust and chemicals. Our grandparents were right when they said, ‘throw the windows open’! “We need to escape the perpetual central heating. Our bodies are designed to adapt to different environments: we respond to warm or cool environments through changing the calibre of blood vessels in our skin and keeping glucose levels steady, and exercise is key to this. If we’re outdoors we are more likely to be exercising, which is good for us. I’m a great fan of exercise: I’d rather people did this than resort too quickly to unnecessary medication.”
Beauty on a budget EVERYONE loves a bargain, but most of us also enjoy indulging ourselves once in a while too. So isn’t it great when a product comes along which allows us to do both things at once? Well savvy-saver favourite Primark is aiming to do just that with the launch of its new beauty range. Created by former Glamour magazine beauty editor Alex Steinherr, the Alex Steinherr x Primark range offers serious beauty credentials with a budget price tag of between £3 and £5 (€3.41 and €5.69). With clean-cut and attractive minimalist packaging, the thrifty range will look good on your bathroom shelf while also claiming doing some serious good to your skin. The collection of 20 products includes something for most skincare concerns, including miscellar cleansers, sheet masks and moisturisers. Better still, the inexpensive range is cruelty-free, fragrance-free and veganfriendly, making it suitable for most people.
THE RANGE: Is budget friendly. Steinherr explained her products offer, “an approachable, results-driven skincare range that ensures that everyone can afford their most beautiful skin.” She added, “I am asked every day to recommend a range of products to suit a range of budgets, so when Primark approached me to create a skincare line, I knew we could create something really special together that worked both in terms of price and performance.” Steinherr’s range launched first in UK Primark stores earlier this week and with prices this

Heartless at first MEMBERS of theatre group STUDIO32 are working hard to prepare to thrill audiences with their latest musical theatre venture, The Wiz, a modern take on that classic film The Wizard of Oz. Winner of seven Tony Awards including best musical, this show features all of those stand out characters, Dorothy, Scarecrow, Lion, Tin Man, the Wizard and of course Toto. As Dorothy travels through the Land of Oz she meets the Tin Man who is struggling to move as he needs oil, which he explains in his introductory number called Slide Some Oil To Me. He is persuaded to accompany Dorothy on her journey to meet The Wiz hoping to get a heart. Whilst the story is similar to the original movie, the songs and music were especially composed for what has been described as a ‘Super Soul Musical’ in the context of modern African-American culture. The pair head off along the yellow brick road to the sound of the Ease On Down The Road performed by Michael Jackson and Diana Ross in the film version of the musical. The role of the Tin Man is being played by Nick Morgan who joined STUDIO32

A pleasant stroll IF you enjoy a walk with a theme, then the Orihuela Council has launched its Autumn Walks which will take in different places of interest in the town until December. In October, the Ruta Hernandiana takes members of the group to places related to the life and work of the respected poet Miguel Hernández as well as a number of buildings of historical interest in Orihuela. These free walks start at 11am on Friday October 12 and Saturday October 27 from the tourist office in the centre of Orihuela
and as spaces are limited, reservations need to be made by calling 965 304 645. Another option is the Ruta Nautica which starts at 10am on Sunday October 21 from the Club Nautico Cabo Roig which revisits the summer route in which it was possible to enjoy some of the nautical scenes and sports that are practised in this municipality. Again reservations need to be made in advance by calling 956 760 000 ext. 32 but this excursion costs €5 which will include a snack.
A U3A first A NEW group has been inaugurated by the Torrevieja U3A society which aims to hold monthly visits to English-speaking films in the area. Their first get together was at the Pilar de Horadada cinema where they had a pre-show drink and a chat before going into the cinema itself to watch that week’s offering of No Mercy. This a Colin Firth film based on the true story of the first attempt at a non-stop around the world single handed sailing competition which apparently took place way back in 1968 and was actually won by
Robin Knox-Johnston. At the end of the film show most of the group went to a local Chinese restaurant where they enjoyed several courses of a menu set especially for the group. They all enjoyed the evening which will be repeated on a monthly basis. Any Torrevieja U3A members who would like to join in should contact the group leader through the website www.torreviejau3a.org and if you are not currently members of U3A but would like to share visiting an English language film and more, then this may be a good reason to join.

More a musical than an opera THE Opera 2001 Group directed by the musician and conductor, Martin Mázik is bringing their version of The Magic Flute by Mozart which is one of his most performed operas to the El Batel Auditorium in Cartagena on Sunday October 21. Although popular at the time of its first performance, the actual music was not published until after Mozart’s death in 1792, although it had been performed 100 times in Vienna and it was after his death that it was performed in other European cities. Whilst the music and libretto are true to the original, with the voices singing in German, the staging is very modern and in the words of costume designer and set director Alfredo Troisi, “This production of The Magic Flute is a pure fantasy. It is freely inspired by the Stargate series, with a setting that blends ancient Egypt with elements of science fiction.” A beautiful princess is imprisoned by a powerful ruler. A brave prince with his comic sidekick take on an impossible quest as a wicked queen uses her magic to lure the hero into evil. All of this includes comic interludes and a number of exceptional songs from a large cast of professional opera singers. Unlike many operas, in which all dialogue is sung, The Magic Flute alternates

Supermarket mocked for its posh ‘store cupboard’ essentials

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-

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-

Can they park in the street? I live in an urbanisation where there is no proper parking space in the street for a kilometre. The street is a cul de sac. 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.

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 new ways to delay or even prevent the condition. It is scientifically proven that with hearing loss, you misinterpret sounds and this can lead to confusion. Subsequently this will re-

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 hearing loss and other health conditions. Hearing aids can have multiple programs and I can choose which program depending on the environment. Don’t let your hearing loss affect your brain or your well-being. Instead of hearing loss, think about what you gain when you hear. Let us at Apple Hearing & Healthcare help you.

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.

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.

The truth about pool heating costs! 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

sufficient, making this the n°1 solution even on cloudy days. Poolworx delivers efficient and professional Duratech heat pumps, using high quality heat exchangers made of PVC and titanium. For each kilowatt consumed by the heat pump, six kilowatts can be returned to the pool, which means five out of every six kilowatts are free! Poolworx finds that nine out of 10 visitors at their site, who are looking to install a pool heating solution, choose a heat pump simply because of the dependability, low operating cost and eco-friendly
character. Spanish Costa customers confirm what the tests and research show; the total average cost amounts to €25-€90 per month, for an 8x4 pool, depending on local climate and usage conditions. The graph shows the cost for October keeping the pool at 28° at all times. Only one day is needed to complete the installation and you’re ready to enjoy your heated pool during the coming winter months!

Blue mood WHILE pink may be this season’s hottest colour, petrol blue also keeps cropping up on interiors blogs and in shops.

To make cosy use of the tr e n d , wh y n o t look for dark blue shaded cushions in a velvet or mohair fabric. This colour also pairs well with warmer tones such as gold or copper for those looking to incorporate into an existing scheme.
PINK is definitely ‘having a moment,’ as they say in fashion circles. It started when Pantone named ‘Rose Quartz’ as their Colour of the Year in 2016, but the rise in popularity can be traced back to the release of Wes Anderson’s quirky film ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ (2014) and thus, the term ‘Millennial Pink’ was born. Millennial pink isn’t actually a colour in itself, but an umbrella term used to describe the variety of shades of barely-there pink that have exploded onto the high street recently. So how do you include it in your home? One easy way to use pink is via accessories. This ensures the colour doesn’t dominate the room and yet is still obviously present. Think pink rugs, cushions and throws as well as pink accents. Think pink details on pictures, pink flowers in a vase or just a few simple pink colour candle holders dotted around. A hint of pink is all you really need to jump on the trend. But what if you want to go full throttle? Pink furniture has had a huge resurgence thanks to this colour trending. In fact, one of the best and easiest ways to include pink into your interior is through seating. A sofa,

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.

Dog muzzles
David THE Dogman columnists@ewnmediagroup.com
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. Available through The Company of Animals, PO Box 23 Chertsey, Surrey

MUZZLES: There are many different types.
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.

LOLA
Lola is approximately 1 year old and appears to have some labrador looks and tendencies, she is very energetic and would be suitable for a young family or some one who wants company whilst jogging. Lola was recently found walking the streets of La Marina Urb trying to enter many properties looking for food and shelter. Lola is charming, warm and friendly. She loves to play and shows interest in other dogs. She walks well on a lead and is very clean. Vaccinated, wormed, micro chipped, passported and ready to go.

BMW 3 Series Sedan: Ahead of the curve IF ever there was a car that defines a Brand, it is the BMW 3 Series Sedan. With 15 million sales since 1975, it is the engineers’ favourite child and the one they call The Ultimate Driving Machine. But in recent years Mercedes and Audi closed the gap, producing more comfortable cars with classier cabin. But the latest model in the 3 Series has risen to the chal-
lenge with fully variable dampers fitted as standard to smooth out bumpy roads, a wider track, less drag and 55kg less bulk. The popular two-litre diesel now has multi-stage turbocharging for better lowend acceleration and efficiency. Perhaps the biggest leap forward is the cabin, with a digital driver’s screen replacing the traditional round binnacles, and a Siri-like voice
assistant activated by saying: ‘Hey BMW.’ Other nice touches include hand-gesture control, overthe-air updates, larger headup display, laser headlights, and it can reverse itself for 50 metres. There is also a ‘digital key’ to unlock doors and start the engine with your smartphone. As for looks, it is still very much a 3 Series, just with sharper creases, a more coupe-like roofline and hori-

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.

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 big-hitters 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

RAISED STANDARDS: Nikoloz Basilashvili is becoming a world class player.
Basilashvili conquers China GEORGIA’S Nikoloz Basilashvili followed up his win over Great Britain’s Kyle Edmund by beating number four Juan Martin del Potro in straight sets in the final of the China Open. World number 34 Basilashvili recorded a 6-4 6-4 win over the top seed in one hour 40 minutes in Beijing, having beaten Edmund in the semi-finals. 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.
