SPAIN PREPARES FOR BREXIT
CALA DEL MORAL: Scene of the drowning.

WARNING: Boris Johnson not to expect any further Brexit concessions. PEDRO SANCHEZ warned Boris Johnson not to expect any further Brexit concessions. Speaking during the weekly control session in the national parliament, the president of the Spanish government conceded that a hard Brexit with no agreement now seemed likely. Sanchez pointed out that the
remaining 27 EU member states had acted with flexibility and good faith from the outset, stressing that there could be no renegotiation of the agreement that Brussels signed with Theresa May’s government last November. Boris Johnson went ahead and suspended parliament despite crushing defeats earlier this
week in the Commons, insisting that he is making every effort to reach an agreement with Brussels. The British PM has also declared that he would rather “die in a ditch” than remain in the EU after October 31, despite lastminute legislation rushed through parliament. This obliges him to postpone Brexit by three months if he fails
Country heads for fourth election in four years SPAIN looks to be heading for its fourth general election in four years after talks between the acting Prime Minister’s centre-left PSOE party and the far-left Unidos Podemos failed to break the current political impasse. On Tuesday the two sides’ negotiating teams confirmed discussions on securing the investiture of Pedro Sanchez as Prime Minister had broken down and that there were no immediate plans for talks to continue. Speaking in Congress today, Wednesday, Sanchez urged the main opposition figures to bring the deadlock to an end and allow the formation of a “progressive” government which would be able to carry out the “major transformations” which Spain needs and
which he said needed to be based on consensus. PSOE won more votes than any other party in the April election, but with just 29 per cent did not gain an absolute majority. A PSOE-Podemos coalition would, with the support of smaller parties, mean Sanchez could expect to be confirmed in office. Sanchez wants the two parties to agree a common programme, but does not want to give Podemos any ministries. There is now a situation of distrust between the two sides, and Podemos maintains PSOE is stuck on the idea of forming a government on its own. If Sanchez is not able by September 23 to gain sufficient votes in parliament to form a new government, voters will have to go back to the polls on November 10.
to strike a deal at the EU summit in just under three weeks’ time. Meanwhile Sanchez told parliament that Spain is prepared for all Brexit scenarios. “Spanish citizens and companies do not need to worry,” he declared.
A WOMAN was found dead near the shore in Cala del Moral. A report issued by the Local Police has confirmed the death of a woman in the water at around 10.45am on Friday. A member of the public alerted the 112 emergency services after the woman was spotted by fellow bathers floating in the water around five metres from the beach edge.
According to the report, the bathers managed to bring the woman back to the shore but were unable to resuscitate her. Once officers from the Public Company of Sanitary Emergencies (EPES), the Local Police and the Guardia Civil arrived at the scene, all they could do was to pronounce her dead. An investigation is now underway by the Guardia Civil into the circumstances surrounding the death.

A DRUGS ring has been smashed by police in Velez-Malaga. The Guardia Civil has managed to dismantle a drug trafficking organisation that has been instrumental in the smuggling of hashish into the Malaga Province. An investigation has been underway since the start of the year when the authorities became aware of the presence of an organisation based out of Malaga, under the leadership of an individual from Marbella. According to police reports, the gang specialised in the recruiting of youngsters to assist in the receiving of the drugs on the beaches and transportation to local ‘nurseries’ across the province, for it then to be distributed by land to European countries.

Drug ring disbanded
INTERCEPTED: Major drug organisation has been dismantled thanks to an eight-month-long investigation.
Authorities believe the gang was pushed out of the Campo de Gibraltar thanks to increasing pressure from the Central Operative of Services (COS), which led them to find other locations down the coast. I n M a y, a v e s s e l c a r r y i n g 3 8 packages of hashish was intercepted arriving into the port of Nerja and nine individuals were arrested. As a result of this intervention, a link between the drug cache and the organisation was determined and a further nine arrests were made, including the ring leader and the members in charge of logistics. During the entire investigation, a total of 1,254 kg of hashish, cash and four vehicles have been seized.
Shots fired in Malaga GUNSHOTS rang out sending people running for cover on the streets of the C a p u c h i n o s a re a o f M a l a ga. The gunshots were heard last Thursday, September 5 during an altercation between a large group of people. Neighbours filmed the incident from their balconies. The footage seemed to show a number of men
carrying what appear to be metal bars marching down the Calle Juan de la Encina. There is a lot of shouting and the first of several gunshots can be heard on the footage. After a few moments a man in red appears to flee the scene whilst a further three shots ring through the streets. Officers of the National Police were quickly on the scene to inves-
tigate the sources of the gunshots and the people involved. Sources from the National Police report that no one was injured during the incident and the police are investigating whether a sale of marihuana was the cause.

VIBRANT CITY: The stunning Guggenheim Museum reflects the light over the Ria de Bilbao.
THE BEATING HEART OF BASQUE COUNTRY The city of Bilbao has evolved from a looming grey industrial port in the 1970s to a cosmopolitan hive of culture, architecture and history that is a must see for anyone visiting the north of Spain. SINCE the economic crisis crippled the country around 30 years ago, Bilbao has undergone a journey of rebirth to cement its place as one of the most vibrant cities in the world. Bilbao enlisted the help from famous architects and inventors such as Frank Gehry, Sir Norman Foster and Santiago Calatrava to transform the infrastructure of the city into modern day works of art, whilst still maintaining the rich heritage
that formed the bedrock of the capital of the Basque Country. Perhaps the most famous of the sights is the Frank Gehry designed Guggenheim Museum. Built in 1997 the titanium construction was revolutionary, transforming the look of the river banks. Today it houses works from artists such as Anish Kapoor, Jeff Koons, Eduardo Chillida, Yves Klein and Anslem Kiefer. Bilbao is also known for its culinary de-
lights, specifically pintxos. Walking around Europe’s largest indoor market, La Ribera, you are greeted by a plethora of stalls selling the Basque tapas. Whether you enjoy walking around architectural wonders such as the Cathedral de Bilbao, the Azkuna Zentroa or the Museo Bellas Artes or want to take things easy, soaking up the culture in the beautiful Plaza Nueva, Bilbao is a city you can’t help but fall in love with.
Centre recognition Ministry approval
THE Department of Education has awarded the CEIP Custodio Puga de Torre del Mar the recognition of becoming a Centre for the Promotion of Positive Coexistence after a strong performance in its activities evaluation. The centre has received a total score of 89 points, putting it in the top 10 centres in Andalucia for its work with the community to build a stronger and more cohesive society in Torre del Mar. The quality of the activities that the centre has organised has been the main catalyst for the strong result. Activities such as the X Olympics, its Animation Group, the first Festival of Puppets Velez-Malaga and the visiting of the Malaga maternal hospital have all played a strong role in the centre’s success. The centre took to social media to express its thanks to everyone involved ‘for making our ideas possible.’

IN a recent report made public by the councillor for Tourism and Beaches Daniel Barbero, the bathing waters of Almuñecar and La Herradura have been given the all clear in recent quality tests throughout the month of August. The tests were carried out as part of an ongoing programme in which the Junta de Andalucia tests the quality and toxicity levels of bathing waters along the coast. The areas covered included Cabría to Cantarriján, San Cristóbal and Velilla, as well as La Herradura. The water samples were analysed to determine the different parameters required by current regulations, such as transparency, colour, mineral oils, presence of persistent foams and floating solids, organic remains and any other residue. If an area fails to comply with the regulations, the Junta reserves the power to limit swimming activities or even close the affected area.

THE spokesman of the Popular Party of Malaga, José Ramón Carmona, has lamented the PSOE Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Luis Planas for visiting the Axarquia region and not visiting the local tropical fruit sector. Carmona believes this poor planning and ‘ignorance’ is a glaring sign that the socialist PSOE are neglecting the largest industry in the area. “It is a key crop of our land, a sector that is generating much employment and wealth through exports, but also has many problems, issues that deser ve to be addressed by a minister of the sector,” said the ‘popular’ leader. As a contrast to the PSOE visit, Carmona has met with ASAJA to discuss the issues facing the farmers in the area. Among the talking points were the lack of infrastructure in place to alleviate the lack of water, urban planning of livestock farms and the neglect of the forestry sector.

illegal homes solution
THE president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno has met with mayors and members of the Ministry of Development to try to come to a solution for the illegal status of over 300,000 homes in Andalucia. The meeting took place in Velez-Malaga last Thursday in an effort to put an end to the thousands of homes currently crippled under the beaurocratic nightmare of planning and building legislations. Moreno said that in collaboration with the Area of Land Management, they are working “to find a solution to this historic situation of illegal housing in Andalucia.” He continued to explain that the current state of the complex bureaucratic tangle that currently has put a number of homes in a state of incompletion is due to the lack of due diligence by previous governments for decades.

RAILING and security systems will be installed along the promenade of Caleta de Velez after the Ministry of Development, Infrastructure and Land Management, through the Public Ports Agency of Andalucia (APPA) put the tender out to contract. The contract, worth €42,229, is aimed at promoting integration of the port to all users including users with mobility difficulties, with two specific areas being enlarged to accommodate wheelchair users. The regional government of Andalucia is carrying out construction works in 13 ports across the province with projects to improve and integrate facilities in order to attract visitors and enhance their tourism and commercial activity. “It is a question of the ports looking towards the town and opening up as a part of it and being able to become dynamic spaces for economic and tourist activity with actions that transform their urban environment and revitalise their facilities,” said the general director of the APPA, Rafael Merino. The project is 80 per cent co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and once the tender is finalised, works should take around two months to complete. Full details of the tender will be available on the agency’s website (www.puertosdeandalucia.es).
Keeping them in check THE spokesperson of the Socialist Municipal Group in Torrox, Mari N ieves Ramirez has issued a warning to the current PP government that her party will not stand by and watch the apparent inactivity that appears to be blighting the current leaders.

and inactivity on the opposition, as it has been doing for the last four years.” She went on to explain that the most notable thing the PP party has achieved since its election is to agree it should increase the wages of its councillors by €10,000 per year. Ramirez also pointed out another of the resolutions passed has been the elimination of the Commission of Control to the Government.

Residents take a stance RESIDENTS of Benajarafe have taken matters into their own hands in protecting a large plot of land in the heart of the town. The plot is currently up for sale, however a string of administrative issues has prevented it publically going any further than the enquiry stage. Neighbours of Benajarafe are angered that the plot is not being protected as it remains one of the last spare municipal areas in the town, and is currently the site for the weekly market as well as fairs and festivals throughout the year. So they have taken matters into their own hands by planting trees on the site with an aim to ‘see that future generations will have new spaces here to provide shade, since the Consistory has only the idea to allow private urbanisation of the land,’ explains a spokesman for the Platform of Citizens by Benajarafe and Chilches. The planting of the trees has come as the organisation has received news of a possible sale of the land to private company Sevillana Proamar.

Donating blood in Spain LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics. In Spain, Blood Components and Services are provided by 17 Regional Blood Transfusion Services. Despite their autonomous operations management, every regional service is fully incorporated into a unique and common Public National Health System, supplying a cohesive blood transfusion care to all citizens, residents, and visitors in Spain based on 100 per cent voluntary and non-remunerated blood donation. For more general information, visit www.msps.es. Anyone who has lived continuously in the UK between 1980 and 1996 (a minimum of one year) will not be able to donate blood in Spain due to the risk of transmitting mad cow disease. Similarly, there are restrictions if you have received a blood transfer in the UK. However, each region may have different rules about donation. Call the donation helpline on 935 573 500. Alternatively, visit www.donorsang.gencat.cat to find out if you are eligible. If you are eligible, you can give blood at your local hospital, or via the Spanish Red Cross (Cruz Roja) at one of their clinics, or in one of their mobile units. You can check dates and locations by visiting www.donarsangre.org.

Motril collaboration to improve tech opportunities TECHNOLOGY businesses are being invited to Axarquia to benefit from highly-skilled graduates in the area. A meeting took place on Monday September 9 between the local council of Motril and the University of Granada in an effort to encourage new technological projects in the agricultural, tourism and maritime sectors. The mayor of Motril, Luisa García Chamorro held the
meeting with the president of the Social Council of the University of Granada (UGR), Gregorio Vicente Jiménez López and a number of representatives to discuss new projects in the Costa Tropical area. It is hoped that the findings from the meeting will bring new technologies to the base industries in the Axarquia Province, thus leading to better job prospects and economic improvements and stability.
“We are determined to take advantage of these capacities to develop knowledge-intensive sectors and we want to transfer it to the local authorities, because I think it is a great opportunity,” said Lopez during the meeting. The mayor of Motril highlighted the “knowledge potential” represented by the University of Granada, which is made available to companies, entrepreneurs and town councils along the coast of Axarquia.

A donor card is not necessary to give blood. On the first visit you will have to provide DNI, NIE, passport or a driving licence. If you are already registered in the Blood Bank, you only need a donor card or a document with your name and surname. The process of blood donation takes just 10 minutes in which 450 ml are collected (equating to 10 per cent of the total blood circulation of an adult person). Despite huge technological advances, the only way for hospitals to obtain blood is through the generosity of the public. The blood is carefully screened for disease to make sure it is safe. After a tattoo, you must wait four months to be eligible to donate. After surgery, the exclusion period will depend on the type of intervention. After minor surgical procedures, you cannot donate blood for seven days or until you are fully recovered. After undergoing major surgery, you will not be able to donate blood for four months. The rarest blood type is AB, present in 1 per cent of Caucasians, according to research by the America Red Cross. Blood transfusions are carried out daily in Spanish hospitals with more than 6,200 patients being given them, of whom almost a quarter are fighting cancer and a similar figure receiving transfusions during or after surgery. Spain has around two million donors in total, but needs closer to four million. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

New historical centre
THE town of Alcaucin is in the final stages of signing off a new Neanderthal Information Centre at the Cave of the Boquete de Zafarraya. In the region, the caves of Ardales and Nerja are perhaps the most famous, but the local council of Alcaucin is desperate to show the public one of the most historically important finds in recent history in the area. The Cave of the Boquete de Zafarraya was found by accident by professor and archaeologist Cecilio Barroso in 1979. Between 1982 and 1983 numerous bone remains of Neanderthals were found inside, some of which are currently exhibited in the Museum of Malaga. An announcement by the mayor of Alcauima, Agata Gonzalez (PSOE), has re-
vealed that the tender for the works is due to be released in the coming weeks after delays thanks to the new Public Sector Laws in the region. The plan is to create an interactive information centre, including a three-storey building that will house replicas of the remains found, information boards and silicone Neanderthal models. Talks are also underway to access the cave on foot as its current location, around 500 metres from the road, is difficult to reach. The town council is in talks with the land owners to create a usable pathway up to the cave and protection measures at the cave site to prevent tourism damage. The deadline for the works is early 2020.

Shining a bright light THE Provincial Council has invested over €500,000 into lighting improvements throughout Axarquia. The investment is part of a larger €1.7 million project across the entire Malaga Province to replace existing street lighting with more energy friendly LEDs or similar. The project also includes the reallocation of LED type lighting for all upcoming construction projects and festivals in an effort to promote a greener image for the province. It will also have a positive effect on the energy bills of local residents. The total investment of exactly €1,780,623.96 has been divided across the province depending
on population by the Provincial Council of Malaga, with Axarquia receiving the largest percentage. Among the areas in Axarquia that will receive the new lighting are Alfarnatejo, Arenas, Comares, Cútar, El Borge, Iznate, Macharaviaya (Benaque and Vallejos), Riogordo and Sayalonga. The Deputy for Development and Infrastructure of the Diputación de Malaga, Francisco Oblare has given the initiative his full backing and has explained that as well as funding a high percentage of the projects, the Architecture and Planning Committee has already drawn up plans and projects for the upcoming change over.

New school centres open T H E R e g i o n a l b o a rd has opened three new schools in the region in time for the new school year. The Ministry of Education has officially opened three new education centres in the region, replacing the prefabricated units that were home to 2,400 students during 2018/19. The new centres are located in Rincon, Cartama and Teatinos and represent a financial commitment from the Junta de Andalucia for the new school year. The Ministry of Education earmarked around €50 million in the creation of the new units which house the students.

OPEN: New centres provide proper classrooms for students in the region. The initial need for extra teaching space came as the school system became over saturated, however the situation is slowly changing as the national birth rate is de-
creasing, meaning a total of 153,000 started schools in the province this week compared to 157,000 last year. In certain areas across Andalucia, the lower student
numbers thanks to the decreased birth rate has led to the counteractive closing of 13 infant schools and the dismissal of around 74 workers.
Sewer clean up THE public water and sanitation company of La Axarquía, Axaragua has carried out a complete extermination plan of the region’s water systems to eliminate the insect and rat populations this summer. THE public sanitation company has worked alongside regional water companies to treat a total of 12km of underground water lines in the towns of Rincon de la Victoria, Velez-Malaga and Torrox. President of the Commonwealth of municipalities of Axarquía, Gregorio Campos (PSOE), explained that these tasks have been carried out “with the aim of increasing the effectiveness of the treatments that were used independently by Axaragua, the company responsible for the high level sanitation, and the companies responsible for the low level of Rincon de la Victoria, Velez-Malaga, Algarrobo and Torrox.” The councillor of Axaragua, Raul Peña has explained that the latest
treatment plan follows on from an initial programme that took place in May which will cover the periods where the warmer weather provides perfect conditions for pests such as cockroaches to thrive.
“
A total of 12km of underground water lines have been treated.
Peña also explained that the solutions they use to exterminate the pests provide a quick and efficient method of extermination that offers no dangers or disturbances to residents of the neighbourhoods.

Hundreds in historic re-enactment IF you’re visiting the town of Alfarnate this weekend you may feel like you’ve stepped back in time. This is because the Axarquian town will transform itself on Sunday, September 15 into a medieval battle ground as hundreds of residents will line the streets to re-enact the kidnapping of the Patron Saint Monsalud and her subsequent rescue by the Christians. The re-enactment will take place as part of the Moors and Christians Festival that will engulf the town for five days, starting yesterday (Wednesday). “Visitors who come to Alfarnate on Sunday will be able to enjoy a pleasant history lesson
that moves between tradition and legend. The recreation in which all the people are involved takes you to the middle of the 15th century when the three cultures that populated Spain lived together,” explained the acting president of the Commonwealth of Municipalities, Gregorio Campos. As well as Sunday’s events, the town will host many workshops, markets, musical and culinary performances and activities all within the perimeter of ‘Fiesta de Moros y Cristianos.’ Activities on Sunday start at 11am at the Iglesia de Santa and the main re-enactment takes place at 6pm.

LAST Friday the Torrox Sports Hall hosted the inaugural meeting of the ninth International Basketball Tournament of the Costa del Sol. The first match of the annual tournament was played between Malagabased Unicaja CB and Russian side Zenit of St Petersburg. The match was a close fought affair with Unicaja CB eventually narrowly missing out on the win by 69 points to 76. From the outset, both teams appeared to be evenly matched, with the Russian side controlling a slight advantage as their defence seemed too strong for the Unicaja offence. By the eighth minute, Malaga had edged ahead
with a three point free throw to take them 16-14 up. However in the next plays, the Russian side took advantage of some excellent accuracy to turn the score around to 1621. At the end of the first half Zenit had stretched an eight-point lead over the Spanish side to lead 33-41. Alberto Díaz brought the score level with a pair of three point shots, but Russian for ward Austin Hollins scored six consecutive points to maintain their advantage. In the final quarter Malaga fought valiantly, but could not match the Russian side and eventually closed the match with a seven-point loss.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Can they get a quorum? I have always thought that for an AGM, there has to be attendance of 51 per cent, including proxies. At our recent meeting we had only 25 per cent. It was then announced, ‘Therefore, the majori ty required to pass resolutions is not met, due to ab sence of the remaining co owners, despite being summoned legally.’ Our problem is that there are very few permanent residents and never many visit ing owners. C C (Costa Blanca) Standard ly, the first announcement YOU AND THE of the AGM gives LAW IN SPAIN the time and the place, and also notes that if there is not a quorum of voters present, the meeting will be held at ‘second call ing’ half an hour after the first call. The law says that a quorum to pass resolutions is 51 per cent of the owners just as you point out. The law also says that, if this number of owners and proxies is not present at the first calling, a majority vote of the owners and proxies actually in attendance at the second calling, will suffice to pass resolutions. The ab sent owners have 30 days from receiving the minutes if they wish to protest the vote.

Iberia extension plan THE European Commission (EC) has proposed that Iberia, amongst other airlines be given seven more months to adapt their shareholding to continue operating in the European Union (EU) after a No Deal Brexit. In the air transport sector, the Commission pro poses to extend the extension granted to foreign airlines to adapt to Community legislation from the current March 30, 2020 until October 24.
Iberia, part of the IAG group, would automati cally lose the capacity to operate flights between two EU cities because more than 50 per cent of its shares would belong to a UK group, which would be a nonEU country. Iberia must restructure its shareholding so that more than half of its shares are held by an EUbased company, not by third countries, a requirement for being able to operate flights between two European Union cities.

Economy forging ahead HOUSEHOLD spending is helping Spain buck the Eurozone trend where the big economies are on the verge of recession. The region’s fourthlargest economy has outperformed the Eurozone’s average growth rate of five years. This was in the past on the back of exports growth, but now its consumers that are driving its growth. Gross domestic product is expected to rise in Spain by more than 2 per cent this year, compared with less than 0.5 per cent for Germany and just over 1 per cent for the Eurozone.

Spain’s rich getting richer
BUSINESS EXTRA
Top for tourism
By Dilip Kuner THE number of ultrawealthy people in Spain has increased 74 per cent since 2011. That was the year that the country’s wealth tax was reintroduced, in the middle of the economic recession. Hacienda (Inland Revenue) figures for 2017 recently re leased show that 611 taxpay ers declared net assets of €30 million or more, com pared to the 352 who did so in 2011. When it comes to proper ty, the number of citizens who declared property worth more than €1.5 million grew 35 per cent to a total of 60,337 individuals. The wealth tax is highly controversial. It is paid on top of income or capital gains where an individual’s net assets are worth more than €700,000. Although it is a state levy the power has been de volved to the autonomous

Cataluña, which does col lect the wealth tax, takes in €498.5 million annually while in Madrid there is a 100 per cent allowance, so the super rich tax residents in the city
don’t have to pay anything. Hacienda’s figures show that in 2017 there were 71 people worth more than €100 million living in Spain. While these figures seem to show a big rise in the numbers of superrich, it could be simply that they are now visible.
A tax amnesty in 2012 un covered €40 billion that had been previously undeclared. Then in 2013 a new law was passed that forced indi viduals to declare their inter national assets or face a stiff fine. This uncovered €156 billion in assets that Spanish residents had abroad.

A political problem
CAN no one rid us of this turbulent blot? This whole Brexit debacle, which has, among other international embarrassments, made us the laughing stock of Europe, has actually achieved at least one positive result; it has finally revealed the true nature and motives of our so-called leaders. The whole fiasco has very little to do with the British public, and certainly no connection to our democracy. It is purely a battle royal between the privileged few. Arrogant elitists who, in the main, have no interest whatsoev er in how the public think or act, unless it somehow threatens their own selfcentered ambitions. These governmental manipulators, particu larly the remoaners, have shown us they will sink to just about any level to protect their vested interests. I also find it interesting in the way they are insisting Boris asks for a further extension. How can they be so sure that the EU will comply? On numerous occasions the EU leaders have told us they will in no way grant us more time. Could it be the ‘old boys’ club’ knows something we don’t? No whiff of possible collusion there surely? Heaven for bid we should suspect them of anything as
devious as that! Well, be that as it may, you can rest assured many among them have plenty to lose. Over the years dozens of MPs and peers have collectively received millions in EU subsidies. Fortyeight wealthy farmer/ landown ers claim 5.7 million a year from the EU. Over 30 former MEPs and offi cials in the House of Lords draw up to €500,000 a year in EU pensions. Many have tak en an oath of loyalty to the EU not to attack the old in stitution. (Yep!) Among them is the utterly useless Neil Kinnock (87,000 PA), Lord (Mandy) Mandelson (34,000 PA), Lord Tugendhat (41,000PA) and so on. Company leaders also put their narrow vested interests before the UK’s overall economic interests, mainly because they know they will have to pay more wages should we leave the EU.
BORIS JOHNSON: Looking for a further extension.
At the very least these people are guilty of a conflict of interest and should undoubtedly be barred from any crucial voting in these mat ters. Nope, sorry folks, I’m afraid your political preferences really don’t enter into it. The only democracy these people understand is the one that concurs with their own selfish senti ments, and they will do anything to frustrate Brexit or anything else that may threaten or interfere with their own lucrative ambitions. Well I’m here to warn them to be careful what they wish for. What these parliamentary conspirators don’t understand, is that by try ing to destroy Boris Johnson, they are taking away what could finally be a resolution to the whole sorry mess. For the first time since the referendum the public can see some light at the end of the tunnel and they won’t take kindly to seeing it snatched away yet again. It is not the public who are the instigators of all the confusion and chaos; we made our minds up three years ago. It is the politicians who are the problem. As usual!

Rolls Royce and an explosion NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England IF you ever believed that a Rolls- Royce was the only expensive and select car with an enormous presence then you would be only slightly wrong. August 2019 in the height of the summer season and RollsRoyce Mo tor Cars revealed an explosion of colour at the ‘Pebble Beach 2019 Col lection.’ Inspired by the hills, sand and sea surrounding Pebble Beach, this year’s collection is the most colourful yet. The Collection included 13 beauti ful Bespoke Commissions, offered ex clusively for the clients attending Monterey Car Week 2019. The collection was led by the brand’s flagship, Phantom. Rolls Royce Bespoke designers have dressed this Phantom in a shimmer ing Black Diamond and Gold Bespoke exterior. The interior features the RollsRoyce Phantom Gallery, an indi
LUXURY: Pebble Beach Collection - One of One - cars of the Black Badge special commissions of Rolls Royce Bespoke. viduality available in no other motor car in the world, designed to house personalised art making the Phantom an extension of its owner’s art and de sign collection. Cullinan, the bespoke division of RollsRoyce Motor Cars marked its second year at Pebble Beach with some of the most extensive Bespoke designs in the ‘Pebble Beach 2019 Collection.’ The four vehicles on dis play during the week feature colours including Burnout Grey, Black Green, Iced Gunmetal and Galilea Blue. The iced finish showcases one of the most popular innovations from
the paint specialists at RollsRoyce. The subtle finish offers the solid effect of matte colours with an elegant shine. Colour innovations are nothing new to a design group that has built finishes using glass, silver, gold and di amonds for Bespoke Commissions. Following recent years of alternat ing drought, fire and rain, the Mon terey Peninsula this year was a sea of colourful wildflowers. Highlighting this year’s debuts were a trio of Bespoke motor cars showcasing the creative colour capabilities of the artisan de signers in Goodwood, Sussex the home of RollsRoyce. The Pastel Col
lection draws upon a palette of colours from this year’s ‘wildflower super bloom’ on the Monterey Penin sula. The collection included three oneofone Black Badge Commissions adding new colours to the RollsRoyce Bespoke palette and reaffirming the idea that a RollsRoyce Black Badge doesn’t have to be black. The collection starts with Ghost Black Badge in Light Green Solid, a new Bespoke exterior finish. The pas tel green represents the rebirth of the flora on the peninsula following the years of drought and fire. The hand crafted leather interior is Black with a
striking Serenity Green splash high lighting the iconic Black Badge techni cal Fibre. The drophead creation among the collection is Dawn Black Badge in Coral Solid which showcases the Be spoke finish that can only come after seven coats of paint and more than nine hours of hand polishing in the Surface Finish Centre at the Home of RollsRoyce, Goodwood. The new pastel colour carries over to the Be spoke Aero Cowling, giving Dawn a colourful yet aggressive exterior. The Dawn Black Badge interior is finished in Artic White and Sunset carrying over the visual imagery of the bloom ing northern California hills and val leys. The final piece of the trio is Wraith Black Badge in Semaphore Yellow, a bright and sunny finish for the most powerful member of the RollsRoyce family. Wraith Black Badge features a Selby Grey and Lemon interior with the iconic RollsRoyce Black Badge Starlight Headliner. The ‘RollsRoyce 2019 Pastel Collection’ presents Black Badge unlike you’ve ever seen before. Nick Horne, London, England

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Primarily, you are wanting to see some appreciation. That is understandable given the efforts that you have made. Do not be annoyed, however, if it is a while coming yet. Others are not always as well tuned in as you. If necessary, use a go-between discreetly to make sure of progress.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Increased activity in your love life means less time to really concentrate on business. Make sure that priority financial matters are dealt with. Not doing so will see you kicking yourself later on. A close relationship is going well. There’s no reason to wonder why, the charm offensive is obviously working.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Keeping an eye on your health is particularly important at the moment. Because you have been active, it could be that you need to give yourself a bit of time. Pampering and just plain relaxing are all going to stand you in good stead during the coming week.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Opening your mind to a new idea has convinced you that it is time for a change in direction. This is such a time, but not all changes will be permanent. Give yourself a way out of any situation this week. Using your tact and charm, it will require only a little application to please everyone.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Improvising within a new business situation may not give you the perfect answer to a problem. What it will do, however, is give you an insight into the way others live. Until now, your approach to life may have been a little one-sided.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A recent holiday has set your mind racing. This being a romantic time means that you can get a little overexcited. Your romance may not be set to last but you should fully enjoy it
nonetheless. Relatives issue words of warning but they have only your best interests at heart.

IRISH LOTTO Saturday September 7
Opposing opinions on a matter close to your heart see you hesitating. There is nothing wrong with asking for advice. The chances are that you know someone who has already been through your situation. Don’t let pride make you miss out on a solution.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Not everything in the garden is rosy but you are made of strong stuff. Your conviction that something is right helps you in discussions. Support given to a loved one may be misguided, especially if it is a huge financial gamble.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is a time to enjoy the present and look forward to the future. Don’t forget, along the way, to congratulate yourself for all that you have achieved in the last year. Sometimes you do not blow your own trumpet and people appreciate you in a quiet way.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) An appetite for something new means that you tread unknown ground. It’s an exciting time when you may find it easier to do things alone. This does not mean you have to feel alone as others can be told of your progress.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Part of being ‘you’ is your independent mind. Some may try to change that this week. Why would someone want to make you more dependent on them? Could it be that they feel insecure? Giving reassurance may be all that is needed. We all feel the need for appreciation.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Trying to be everything to all people is tiring. No one knows this more than you. Give yourself a little time and space this week because it will make a great difference to your spirits.

ENORMOUS carbon footprint
I REFER to your recent article in the Euro Weekly News. Each week we enjoy a great deal of live televised sport. Wonderful, covering all sport from around the world. All these events, football, cricket, tennis, racing, rugby World Cup, golf, etc etc leave an enormous carbon footprint created by the TV companies whose representatives, engineers, presenters and commentators travel by car, van, sea and air to provide us with our armchair entertainment. If the climate change and Green party people are genuine in their be lief about the disaster imminently awaiting us, they would demand the immediate banning of all outside broadcasting of sporting events as nonessential activity. Of course, they won’t and we all know why support would collapse. There are votes and kudos and good fees to be earned by those supporting ‘project fear’ in all its guises, so, as a demonstration of commitment to the cause let the climate experts and green political parties propose a ban on the televising of sporting events to be im plemented by world governments and then we would know they really are se rious! Alan Bryan
I agree with Leapy I HAVE just read your column in the EWN and totally agree with you. I am so pleased I don’t live in the UK. It left me feeling so angry that Boris has had the rug pulled from underneath his feet as regards being able to negotiate any deal at all. The EU must be laughing all the way to their meeting place. Jeremy has been calling for an elec tion for months now and when it was offered, he refused it. You just couldn’t

was spot on and exactly right. We live in Spain and would be better off financially if we stayed in, but it makes my blood boil when these remainers try to get the result overturned. Richard Horsey

IF this was in the UK, that poor lamb would be su ing our police for aggressive arrest and reporting it to the police investigation team. Good to see ‘zero tolerance’ in action. Laurie Linarce Why not just wait for him to get tired or bored and come down rather than climbing on other ve hicles and damaging them. He could hurt noone but himself up there. The owner of both vans now have to try and get compensated for the damage and you can bet the police won’t be as keen to help with that. Softly,softly, catchy monkey! Tony Aqombar
GLOBAL warming has been happening on Earth since Adam was alive. We worry about how many times we fly back to our home countries, the fuel we use in our car, the eco efficiency of our homes. All these things contribute to our global footprint - that is the impact we as individuals, through our lifestyle, have on the planet. But should we be made to feel guilty that living our lives is killing the planet and ultimately leading to the extinction of the human race? According to Dr Guy Midgley, head of the climate change research group of the National Biodiversity Institute South Africa, we live on an unusually stable planet, but periods of cooling and warming naturally happen in cycles. These periods of rising and falling temperatures over the last 500,000 years have been down to levels of methane and CO2 in the atmosphere which are not man-made. Also, levels of solar radiation vary over time and this has a significant impact on global temperatures, most notably in the Earth’s northern hemisphere. Climate change experts believe we are currently between ice ages and that the development of modern industry has had a relatively minor impact on temperatures. Over several thousand years in the earth’s history, temperatures have been higher than they currently are indicating that doing too many school runs or turning on the air con isn’t what’s going to wipe us out. So, it’s not just our fault, but does that mean we should throw caution to the wind? Not at all. Reducing greenhouse gases will slow down global warming and, while we’re the planet’s dominant species, we should do all we can to save the planet. After all, we’re only passing through.

Makeover your mornings THE morning can either be the best time of the day or the worst, depending on what kind of person you are. Whichever camp you fall into, how you start your morning can have a big impact on how the rest of the day goes. Making small changes to your morning rou tine could quickly make all the difference. Al though it’s incredibly tempting to reach for the tea or coffee first thing, try drinking a cup of hot water and lemon first which will help to start your digestion, get your liver up and
running as well as rehydrating you. If you have a busy household, try setting your alarm 30 minutes before everyone else wakes up. This will give you time to take a nice long shower, read the paper or do some exercise; whatever you find most relaxing. You might find this becomes your most pro ductive time of the day, and could help you make plans for the week ahead or pursue some creative activities. You could also use this time to meditate for five or 10 minutes, helping to clear your mind and get you focused for the day.
Excess heat can cause halitosis THE long, hot summer days are upon us, but have you ever wondered what happens to the body in extreme heat. Some people love the sultry conditions and overload of vitamin D, but for others it can wreak havoc with the body. Hot weather can cause some painful chafing, unavoidable sweaty armpits and sleepless nights of re lentless tossing and turning. And then there’s the hay fever. But it can also give you bad breath. Excessive heat can cause you to dehydrate, which has been proven to have the unsexy side effect of halitosis. When the mouth becomes dry, bacteria accu mulates due to a lack of saliva to wash it away. During summer months, the body loses more water naturally through sweating. This, coupled with an increase in the use of hay fever medica tions, fad summer dieting, and increase in out door exercising and over exposure to the sun, can also make the problem worse.
BAD BREATH: Dehydration in the heat can cause unexpected problems so drink lots of water. It’s advisable to drink plenty of water, not just to combat bad breath, but to keep other body organs functioning well. On a positive note, a healthy amount of sun can strengthen bones.
Mood can influence decisions EXTROVERTS who are positive will work on try ing to further improve their mood, more than introverts. Spanish researchers at the Universidad Com plutense in Madrid conducted a study which confirms that the mood of introverts is differ ent from extroverts, especially when it comes to positive situations. Their study of 112 partici
pants found those who fell in the ‘extrovert’ category after their initial questionnaire would want to improve their good mood and this would influence their decisions, when choosing which film to watch compared to introverts who are more conformist. The study also found both extroverts and in troverts regulate their negative moods similarly.
BURSTING: Feeling bloated can be caused by eating too quickly.
Beat the bloat WE’VE all had that feeling after a large meal or an indulgent holiday when your stomach can feel over-full or uncomfortable. It can be easy to assume this is simply because we have put on a pound or two, but some times even if we make all the right food choices the cause can just be simple bloating of the stomach. This condition has various causes, but thankfully can be easily treated. According to Healthline.com, ‘abdominal bloating occurs when the gas trointestinal (GI) tract is filled with air or gas. Most people describe bloating as feeling full, tight, or swollen in the ab domen. Your abdomen may al so be swollen (distended), hard, and painful. Bloating is often accompanied by pain, ex cessive gas (flatulence), fre quent burping or belching, ab dominal rumbling or gurgles.’ The site claims the most common cause of bloating is gas which can enter the stom ach by eating or drinking too quickly, as well as by taking in too many carbonated drinks. Chewing gum and smoking can also cause the problem. If this is the case, try to slow down eating and cut back on fizzy drinks by eating more mindful ly and taking time to chew and enjoy your food. Certain foods can also cause bloating, including beans and legumes, which can produce gas as they are broken down in the stomach. Instead, try to substi tute lighter coloured lentils and
black beans which can be more easily digested. Wheat can also cause bloating in those who have a gluten intolerance. If you suspect this may be you, why not try some glutenfree alterna tives for pasta and bread and see if this helps. While it may be good for us in many other respects, broc coli and other cruciferous veg etables can be hard for our bodies to digest, causing a buildup of gas. Instead, spinach, cucumbers, lettuce and sweet potato still contain plenty of vitamins, but without the painful side effects. Another unlikely culprit is some fruits. These include ap ples, which according to Healthline have, ‘been known
to cause bloating and other di gestive issues for some peo ple.’ It seems ‘the culprits are fructose (which is a FODMAP) and the high fibre content. Fructose and fibre can both be fermented in the large intes tine, and may cause gas and bloating.’ The website suggests switching raw apples for cooked ones which can be easi er to digest. Finally, dairy products can be difficult for many people to di gest, resulting in bloating and discomfort. If that is the case, why not try some dairyfree al ternatives such as almond or soy milk and butter. Cutting back on cheese toppings can also help bloating without im pacting too much on taste.

Theo blinded by cork LOVE ISLAND star Theo Camp bell has returned home from a holiday in Ibiza where he was temporarily blinded in one eye. He had been in Ibiza relaxing with fellow Love Island star Kaz Crossley when he was hit in the eye by a popping Cham pagne cork. Theo was sporting a pirate style patch over his right eye which had been seriously dam aged when he was hit in the

Gates goes solo in Ibiza SINGER Gareth Gates has been chilling in Ibiza with his sister Charlotte and friend Mimi after his split with fiancée Faye Brookes. Gates went on Instagram to thank his family and friends for their support after the breakdown of his sevenyear relationship with Brookes. The 35yearold had originally booked the trip for himself and Corrie star Brookes. He has been seen on the town at Ocean Beach club with his family and friends.
Gates had posted earlier that he couldn’t wait to leave the UK. It was revealed earlier this month that the cou ple had split and Brookes had moved out of the home they shared. The split had actually come se cretly in July when they called off their wedding plans after a series of rows. Meanwhile Brookes has been celebrating her birthday in London and sharing photos of herself drinking with friends in Soho.

Spacey’s show in Sevilla K E V I N S PA C E Y h a s s h o w n how his life keeps on going despite the storm of accusations that surrounds him. He appeared in Sevilla last Sunday night where he joined a young univer sity band singing la Bamba. The group were entertaining a hen party shortly after midnight when Spacey, who had travelled to the capi tal of Andalucia for a couple of days, came suddenly out of the blue. He was having a drink with friends at the bar in front and heard the music and laughter, so he stuck his head out of the door. The audience grew enjoying Spacey who sang and played the mandolin en thusiastically. This is his second public appearance after the surprise one in

Friday 13 and all that … NORA JOHNSON

FRIDAY 13th. Rumours and superstitions surround this date in history, regarding both the number 13 and the day Friday. From a Norse myth (12 gods and their uninvited, 13th doomladen guest); Bibli cal references (Judas Iscariot, who be trayed Christ, the 13th diner at the Last Supper); medieval dastardly deeds (on Fri day October 13, 1307, King Philip of France arrested and put to death the revered Knights Templar for their Holy Grail secrets and wealth) to more modern times (Friday was the traditional day for public hangings in Britain with supposedly 13 steps leading up to the noose). And how is fear of the number 13 demonstrated today? Some airports have no gate 13. Some planes have no row 13. Hotels regularly have no floor or room 13. But if not the result of just plain old co incidence, some past ‘Friday 13th tragedies’ were actually planned to feed into the mythology. I’m thinking here of
FRIDAY 13: Rumours and superstitions surround this date. the ‘Friday the 13th virus’ programmed to delete IBM computer files across Britain on that day in January 1989. Bad luck had nothing to do with it. Pick any date in history and you’ll have a massive list of genocide, murder, rape, greed, natural disasters, fear and loss. Bad things happen every day. It’s just that, if something happens on Friday 13th, it sticks in our minds because we’ve all been brainwashed to believe it’s bad luck. In fact, in some countries like Italy, 13 is lucky while in Spain, it’s Tuesday the 13th that’s unlucky! Finally, a few positives. Hollywood offi cially arrived on a Friday 13th. The Holly wood sign (originally advertising ‘HOLLY WOODLAND’) was unveiled on Friday July 13, 1923. Built to advertise a housing de
velopment, it’s since become one of the world’s biggest tourist attractions. As for the UK, the first nudist colony was found ed on Friday June 13, 1930: the North De von Club in Metherell opened and Britons were allowed to let it all hang out. If you’re still spooked this Friday 13th, maybe you’ll be even more spooked on October 31st: Brexit day. Halloween will never be the same again...

Are you winning or losing? ROBERT SHALLIS IF we’re willing to learn by our mistakes, no one should consider themselves or anyone else in life a loser. The late great leader and revolutionary, Nelson Mandela said. “I never lose. I either win or I learn.” When adhered to, that powerful statement can make a big difference to us. We all have an option to learn from what we may consider losing at some point in our life. All too often we hear people say: “I never win anything,” “I always lose at this.” Well, therein lies the first problem. If you assume the thought and the feeling of never amounting to, or achieving anything then how can you expect to be a winner at anything? We first need to create that winning feeling to start the process, we can do this by reacting to those negative voices in our head in a different way.
NELSON MANDELA: “I never lose. I either win or I learn.” It is important to know that that feeling of failure, fear and anxiety are just that, feelings. It is your own mind that has created the negativity. They are not facts, they are simply an outcome focusing on past failures instead of future successes. These feelings underestimate your real abilities and amplify the task ahead. Ignore these negative thoughts and feelings and replace them with
thoughts of a positivity and a more favourable outcome. It sounds easy to do doesn’t it, well it is, but here’s the thing, it’s easier not to. The rea son we don’t like change is because change feels uncomfortable to us. People would rather be comfortable than do something different even though it doesn’t benefit them in the long run. You don’t have to stay in the
world you’re living in if it doesn’t serve you, you can create your own new positive world. A gentle way to start is to visualise how things might or could possibly be. Visualise how things would be if you achieved a certain something you have always wanted to achieve, however small it may be. Start small, make it fun, see yourself for example finally beating the rest of the family
at Monopoly, imagine how that would feel instead of that old pat terned phrase of, “I never win at any thing.” You can of course apply this to anything, even on a much grander scale in order to become a success and feel like one of life’s winners. Negative is normal, it’s part of life but it is not successful. Begin to see any negative thoughts as and when they arise as a challenge, a challenge to tackle them differently in order to cre ate the winning feeling you deserve. Learning how to tackle that losing feeling will create a new enthusiasm in what you wish to achieve and give you enjoyment in the process. So, now you no longer need to dwell or live in the realms of losing thoughts, you just need to handle and deal with it. Start today, not to morrow. If you put something off to day, what excuse will you have the next day? Remember, the difference be tween winning and losing is not giv ing up. If we’re winning we’re having fun, if we’re losing we’re learning. See yourself as a winner, take ac tion and see what prizes life has waiting for you.
I’m SuperGrumpyMan MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I BOUGHT some new garden furniture. We agreed a price - not the ticket price as I only ever use that as a starting point - and I paid by credit card. As I sat in the shop I got confirmation on my phone that the amount had been processed which is how it should be. When I got home I double checked the invoice and found a €30 mistake. I immedi ately phoned the store and the salesman apologised and said he would refund it straight away. A week later it’s not been credited. I’ve called them again and asked why not? But nobody can give me an an swer. I’ve noticed this a few times. If taking the money out can be instant, why can’t the repayment be just as quick? When I was in England recently I used Uber which I have set up with my Pay Pal account. When I checked I noticed there were two payments for Uber on one day even though I only used them once. I
emailed them and was told some reason why, which to be honest I didn’t under stand. It was something about guarantee ing the payment and it was just being held and would be credited back soon and four or five days later it was. What’s all this belt and braces protec tion? I’ve booked a car for an upcoming trip. I’ve got all the insurance cover but they are still going to put a €1,000 hold on my credit card. The problem being is that I have to go after them if they decide to charge me for something I have no clue about. I still never got my money back for a Monarch flight that I paid for with a debit card and probably never will because of the nutty banking rules. Someone wanted to send me some mon ey from a UK bank to my Spanish one. I told them to use an App that does it pretty quick. I was in the UK at the time but they decided to use their bank to do it. I was there for four days but I still got back to Spain before my money did even though it was instantly taken from my mate’s account. So I’ve decided my new name will be SuperGrumpyMan… travels faster than the speed of money transfer and re funds... a bit long but you get the point.

House-sitters can help to keep pets feeling safe at home by maintaining their routines MANY of us will have had pets who love a routine.

BARRY DUKE I HAVE 11 years to live. This I know because my husband’s iPhone told me so. The disconcerting fact surfaced when Marcus said ‘put your fore finger here,’ pointing at his phone’s camera lens. When he hit a button on the screen, the lens emitted a light and up flashed a message to say that my heartbeat was 83 beats per minute. ‘Is that good?’ I asked. ‘Well, it’s normal for someone of your age,’ he replied. But the app that allowed him to measure my heartbeat Cardiio also indicat ed that the 83 bpm figure meant that I could only expect to live un til 83, and am not sure this was something I wanted to be told. Later, Google informed me that the vast number of heartbeat and blood pressure apps available for iPhones and Android devices are wildly inaccurate and are about as much use as a walking stick to a walrus. Of much greater use to me is a fantastic app called PlantSnap, which uses your mobile’s camera
There’s an app for that
MOBILE PHONE APPS: Some are more useful than others. to identify thousands of plants. It not only names them, but tells one how to care for them. Until I downloaded it my knowl edge of plants was pretty dismal, but now I know the names of all the greenery and flowers on our balcony, and I’ve become hooked
on photographing all manner of things growing in various loca tions around our apartment. It was through this app that I discovered that the most prolific shrub in the area the Oleander is also the most deadly. There is a story that in Spain, in the times of
French occupation by Napoleon’s troops, an invitation to share a meal was extended by the Spanish to French soldiers. In the prepara tion of the meat, peeled Oleander cuttings were used as skewers to roast it, resulting in the death of many of the Napoleonic troops.
I then wondered whether the app could be tricked. Yes it can. I snapped a pic of Chris, a bar tender at Benidorm’s Company Bar, and it identified him as a rose. He laughed out loud when I said ‘Be grateful it didn’t say you were a pansy!’ After I downloaded PlantSnap, I went in search of other apps that would give me as much pleasure, but nothing save the iShaver appealed to me. It’s basically a virtual electric shaver, and emits a loud buzzing sound. I told Marcus, who has been cultivating his beard for years, to shut his eyes. When he did I pressed my phone to his chin and shouted ‘your fa cial fuzz is extremely annoying and I’m getting rid of it!’ His eyes snapped open in a panic, and for a moment I thought I’d get the beating of my life. Another fun app for those who don’t value their smartphones as much as they should is called Send Me To Heaven (SMTH). To make it work, you simply hurl your phone skywards and it calcu lates the height of the throw. The blurb for this Android app says: ‘You can challenge your friends to see who gets the higher score, that is, until your phone breaks.’ Even if I had an Android phone, I’d certainly give that one a miss!

Volkswagen owns 12 well-known car brands from seven European countries.
PORSCHE will use three drive technologies in the future: highly emotive petrol engines, powerful plug-in hybrids and from now on - also all-electric drives. This product strategy is reflected in the eight new models that the sports car manufacturer will be presenting at the 68th International Motor Show (IAA) at Messe Frankfurt in Germany from today (Thursday, September 12) to September 22. The focus at the IAA will be on the brand’s first allelectric sports car: the Taycan as a Turbo and Turbo S. Further highlights at the mo tor show include three new hybrid models in the Cayenne series, the new Macan Turbo and the 911 Carrera as a Coupé and Cabriolet. In addition,

Throughout the entire duration of the auto show, experts from the com pany’s various technical departments will be at the stand to present a stage programme on the Porsche brand and provide an insight into current topics for the first time. The new Porsche
Taycan will play a central part in the lectures, interviews and discussions. Employees from the Development, Design and Marketing departments will explain the features of the first all electric Porsche. Other main content areas include the topics of motorsport
and Formula E, visionary future tech nologies as well as gaming and Esports racing. Next Wednesday, September 18 Porsche will hold its ‘Motorsport Day.’ The motor show audience can look forward to a presentation of Porsche’s Formula E car and an hourlong auto graph session with race car drivers, among other things. The ‘Next Vision Day’ on Friday will focus on topics about the future. Ex perts will deal with urban transforma tion and new technologies in the auto motive industry. And on the two ‘Esports Days’ to be held on Saturday and Sunday, Septem ber 21 and 22, live races on simulators will take place in which professionals and amateurs alike can participate.
Drunk driving revelation JUST over 1.6 million drivers older than 55 admitted to driving while over the limit a new study suggests. The survey by Direct Line Motor Insurance found the problem could be worse, with a futher 3.6 million motorists in the same age group revealing they could have been over the limit behind the wheel at some point. The main excuse given for driving under the influence was that the trip was only over a short distance, with 1.2 million of those aged over 55 using this very reason. More than 750,000 of these more mature motorists also admitted they drove when they could have still been drunk from the night before. The research, carried out in partnership with Opinium, suggested that many people still do not understand the impact alcohol has on their body. Just over one million drivers older than 55 said they believed men could drink more than women and be safe to drive, but it is in fact down to a variety of factors such as weight, medications and diet. A further one million over 55’s believe eat-
ing a large meal before driving would counteract the effects of alcohol and 552,000 believe that older people are safer drivers and that it is therefore less dangerous if they drink and drive. Analysis of Department for Transport (DfT) data by Direct Line has revealed 26 per cent of all road accidents in 2017 (45,500 out of 175,000) involved older drivers. Commenting on the figures, a motor insurance spokesman at Direct Line, said: “It is clear that younger drivers are not the only offenders when it comes to drink driving. “Motorists may become complacent as they get older because they feel they are so experienced behind the wheel, but tolerance levels differ hugely depending on body type. Data from the British Crime Survey shows the number of self-reported driving by people who think they have been over the legal alcohol limit at least once in the last 12 months. Between 2010 and 2018, there was a reduction of nearly 50 per cent in the proportion of people aged 16-19 who took this risk. For people aged 50, it fell by only 11 per cent.

ICONIC British firm Land Rover have been teasing us with the brand new Defender model for almost a year and under the code name, L851, details of the new model are starting to be revealed. In the latest press releases and photos, The Red Cross has been putting the prototypes through their paces in the rugged conditions of the Dubai Desert. The photos showed the 90 version in a semicamou flaged vinyl wrap ploughing through the Emirate sand dunes and traversing moun tain paths. Purists will rejoice at the apparent off road ca pabilities that the new model still encompasses. Land Rover is obviously tak ing the new model incredibly seriously too, with estimates showing that testers have racked up more than 1.2 mil lion kilometres including 45,000 individual tests. The JLR Group have just an nounced that their latest in prelaunch testing will take place in the 14,000 hectare Bo rana Conservancy in Africa. According to JLR, plans are

SEMI-CAMOUFLAGED: The new Land Rover Defender aims to reinvigorate the iconic British work horse. for the new model to form a wider range of sub models, much like the Discovery. A plug in hybrid version is due in 2024 and a Sports version is due in 2026, whilst the first models
are due to be available with a large array of accessories and specialist equipment such as rooftop tents and other out doorsfocused options. One of the first things re
vealed was that there would be two model variants, the ‘90’ short wheelbase version and the ‘110’ long wheelbase, and early spy photos showed that whilst the new Defender was
notably more ‘boxy’ and ‘indus trial’ looking than its stable mates the Discovery and the Range Rover, it still shared their aesthetic philosophies. In the spy shots some of the

details of the car’s technical specs are clear too. An independent rear sus pension set up is a big nod to the dual purpose, on road as pirations of the new model, whilst a side hinged rear door looks set to return. Sources close to the project also confirm that it will ditch the ‘bodyonladderframe construction’ and opt for a stiffer and lighter monocoque construction. The new model will also be fully customisable too, with options on swapping out the axles, tyres, transmis sions and suspension calibra tions to meet specific needs. The interior has also been heavily leaked from shots tak en at a recent test. A bevy of modern equipment litters the cockpit such as a proper sound system and sat nav. The powerplant is expected to be the group’s 2.0litre four cylinder petrol and diesel en gines as an entry level, moving up to their flagship 3.0litre for the range toppers. The official launch will be made at the Frankfurt Motor Show this month where the model will be shown to the public for the first time, along with full specs and details.
Mercedes to become climate neutral DURING the Frankfurt Motor Show, Mercedes (Daimler) has announced that it wants to be fully climate neutral by 2022. MercedesBenz parent company Daimler has presented its wishes during a speech in front of the company’s brand new futuristic EQS concept car. Daimler’s chief executive officer (CEO) Ola
Kaellenius, announced that his objective is to provide a completely carbon neutral supply chain in the future production of his vehicles thereby compensating for any remaining carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions through offsets. As part of the company’s first steps towards its goal, they launched a ‘Sustainability Partnership’ with Farasis Energy, a developer and supplier of
lithiumion batteries. “This collaboration has the potential to save the company up to 30 per cent on its carbon footprint,” explained Kaellenius. The overall goal is to render the manufacturing process climate neutral by 2022, and to produce an entirely climate neutral product range by 2039.
“The transformation of our company is in full swing,” explained the CEO, “we have already recognised the issue of climate neutrality and we’re moving in the right direction.” The Mercedes EQS was originally teased at the 2016 Paris motorshow and is essentially a fully electric SClass. It is being labelled as a trail blazer for the first generation of EQ vehicles.

Honda Civic SR ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher The Honda Civic has been in production for close on 50 years, first introduced in 1972 and still going strong with latest versions offering sleek sporty styling, enhanced equipment and outstanding fuel economy. Priced from €21,467 (£19,395), the Civic range offers petrol and diesel engines and several trim levels and my test model was a mid-range SR model with a 1.5 litre 118 hp diesel engine with sixspeed manual gearbox. This model costs €25,004 (£22,590).
The engine is quiet and responsive and the gearshift is very slick, so the car has a smooth effortless driving feel, and upgraded suspension is well balanced, providing excellent ride comfort and poised cornering.

Rafa’s a winner again
FANTASTIC: Nadal triumphed in a great match.
from the young Russian, Rafael was there to stamp his name once more in the sport’s history. Nadal, who was in his fifth US Open championship match and 27th Grand Slam final, is the first man to claim five major titles after turning 30. Nadal always falls down backwards
after winning a major title, but this time he lay there for so long overcome by exhaustion and relief leaving one wondering if perhaps CPR was needed. “It is one of the most emotional nights in my tennis career, with that video and all of the support,” said Nadal at the presentation ceremony.

THE 33-year-old Spanish lefthander moved one shy of Roger Federer’s all-time men’s record 20 Grand Slam triumphs and with it became the second-oldest New York champion in the Open era after Ken Rosewall in 1970 at age 35. Delivering one of his most spectacu lar major final performances, Rafa cap tured his 19th career Grand Slam title on Sunday by winning his fourth US Open against Russia’s Daniil Medvedev 75, 63, 57, 46, 64. The match got off to an intriguing start when Nadal received a warning for slow play in the very first game. In his next game, Nadal gave away an early break when a couple of fore hands skewed off his racket frame and failed even to reach the net. Had it been any other player the errors may have increased, but not Nadal who is the best on the tour at preventing things to spin out of his control. Even losing the third and fourth set in what seemed like a definitive comeback

FOUGHT BACK: Malaga tried their hardest but still lost out.
Madrid win again REAL MADRID, the reigning basketball champions, have started their pre-season in style with two wins. Missing several players on duty at the World Cup and with just three days’ training they won the Torneo Costa del Sol for the third consecutive year. They beat Unicaja Malaga 6976 in a game they dominated in the first quarter. The team mixed youth with experiences, as in their earlier game against Zenit. Unicaja Malaga, with an inspired
Avramovic, went ahead early. A timeout was called by Madrid coach Laso and whatever he said had the desired effect with several three pointers making the score 1624. There were moments in the second quarter where the hosts challenged the Whites, but Madrid pushed again to take the lead in Nerja and it went to 2843 at halftime. Casimiro’s side were not done and brought the game back to within five points (4550), but Laso’s side dominated the rest of the game.
“This victory means a lot, especially the way the match became so difficult and tough.” He added: “It was an amazing fi nal. Daniil is only 23 years old and the way he was able to fight and change the rhythm of the match was amazing. He will have many
more opportunities like this. “The last three hours of the match were very, very intense. Very tough mentally and physically, too. The crowd has been as always amazing, all these facts that make the moment super spe cial. It was an unforgettable moment. At the same time Daniil created this moment, too. The way that he fought, the way that he played, he is a champi on. Just well done for him. I really be lieve that he will have many more chances. “The way that the match became very dramatic at the end, that makes this day unforgettable, part of my histo ry of this sport. I’m just very happy. This trophy means everything to me today.” Nadal extended his lead in the ATP Race To London to 1,960 points over Djokovic. In doing so, he strengthened his bid for a fifth yearend No 1 finish in the ATP Rankings, which would tie Fed erer and Djokovic and move to within one of Pete Sampras’ record. Nadal took the top prize of $3.85 million at Arthur Ashe Stadium to add to his US Open trophy haul.

Hamilton: youngsters ‘get away with a lot more’ FERRARI’S home win by Charles Leclerc at Monza has left Lewis Hamilton saying the younger generation of drivers “get away with a lot more” in wheel-to-wheel battles. The race featured a thrilling battle between the young Monegasque and fivetimesworld champion Hamilton. The latter looked like the faster of the two drivers for periods and tried several passes without making any stick. Credit for that should go to Leclerc who de fended robustly. At one point Hamilton had to use the runoff area to avoid a collision and Leclerc cut the first chicane but retained the lead. After the race Hamilton said: “It doesn’t really matter what I think. I don’t really have anything to say about it. We’ve gone over and over it multiple times, it’s pointless me bringing it up. I avoided the collision, and just kept fo cusing on trying to get close again. “It seems like the new generation get away with a lot more in that space, of how they manoeuvre their car com pared to I’d say the more experienced drivers. But it’s good knowledge, now I know, and I look forward to the next one.” Leclerc was put on an official warning at one stage when he was shown the

There was a rule put in place, and then it was n’t abided by today. “They used different consequences for the rule today. I don’t know why that was the case. I guess the stewards woke up on a different side of the bed this morning, I don’t know.” He added: “I’m not unhappy. Of course, I don’t like to go backwards, but he (Leclerc) did a fantastic job today. I
put on as much pressure as I could. We had a couple of close moments, I think we can probably talk about it in private together, but there’s nothing major, and we continue to race. I’m looking forward to more races together.” Leclerc’s battling performance saw him take the chequered flag for the sec ond week in a row while Hamilton dropped to third behind Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas.

Super Cup for VRAC RUGBY club VRAC have kicked off their season in familiar territory they are winners again. They have added their eighth Spanish Su per Cup to their honours board, after im posing themselves on Alcobendas to win 3318 after trailing at half time. The latter’s challenge gradually faded as the game went by and they were unable to stop a rival with more ambition and crucial ly more ideas in attack. The match started at high intensity with Alcobendas catching VRAC on the hop for a first minute threepoint score. There fol lowed a ‘settling’ in period where tight de fences and mistakes from both teams led to a fairly stagnant phase. But it did not take long for VRAC to start imposing themselves, although Alconben das also showed flashes of attacking poten
tial to keep VRAC on their toes. With both defences very tidy and attacks a little tangled, it was Tani Bay who found a hole in midfield to score a try. The current league champions cut out the earlier handling errors and started to look increasingly comfortable. A prolonged spell in the opposition half led to penalties to put some daylight between themselves and their rivals. However, Alcobendas showed plenty of character themselves to take the fight back into VRAC territory and ended up going into half time just 1411 down thanks to a try from Iñaki Villanueva, plus more penalties. VRAC came out for the second half deter mined to take the game by the scruff of the neck. Almost immediately they had three points from a penalty, which was followed
