YOUR PAPER, YOUR VOICE, YOUR OPINION
COOK’S COSTLY CRASH Costa Blanca is feeling the financial aftermath of the bankruptcy ofEuroBritish travel giant Thomas Cook.
AFTERMATH: A debt of around €1.5 million is expected to be left due to the bankruptcy of travel giant Thomas Cook. IT has been estimated that a debt of €1.5 million has been left by the British company, affecting hotels and businesses in the region. It has also been revealed that more than 13,000 package holidays have been booked from May until the end of the year in the Costa Blanca, substantially less
than the estimated 300,000 that have been booked in the Balearic and Canary Islands. As for tourists currently staying in the Costa Blanc a , A n t o n i o M a y o r, t h e President of Hospec, has said that there are insurances in place that will take tourists back to their home country at no extra cost.
AENA has stated that there has been minimal affect on flights to and from Alicante Airport as there were only two flights a week scheduled for Thomas Cook. The collapse of Thomas Cook, one of the biggest travel companies and one that has been around for 178 years, has meant that
pean governments has had to organise the repatriation of over 600,000 customers from their holidays. The company has more than 50 hotels in 17 countries, an airline, around 2,500 employees and transports around four million tourists from other European countries to Spanish destinations each year.

EERILY STILL: This scene depicts an area in Burgos where 26 bodies were exhumed in 2014.
STUNNING LANDSCAPES A BEAUTIFUL yet solemn photographic display was recently exhibited at Madrid’s Goethe Institute. THE Photographs, A Collection Entitled ‘Memoria Perdida’ by accomplished artist and photographer Miquel Gonzalez were displayed as part of the 2019 Photoespana Festival. His photographs depict eerily still and subdued landscapes, normally a scene of beauty, these images show the sites of mass, unmarked graves filled during the tragic Spanish Civil War in 1939. Spain has one of the highest num-
bers of mass graves in the world after more than 130,000 people ‘disappeared’ during the War and during Francisco Franco’s subsequent dictatorship. Their remains are distributed across more than 2,500 unexcavated, unmarked mass grave sites, mainly surrounding the Madrid Province. It was only in the 1970s that Spain managed to discover its freedom after the tyrannical reign of Franco, which was around the time that photograph-
er Gonzalez was discovering his love for learning about the rich history that came at such a turbulent time. The Spanish Civil War has not long since ended, and the last of its remaining witnesses have all but passed, with experts warning that the country is in danger of falling into a perpetual silence regarding the tragic events. However the government is pledging a total of €150,000 to fund efforts to remember the country’s brutal history for generations to come.
Fraud after Gota Fria
Pink Ladies Charity
ALMORADÍ Town Council has warned of two types of possible fraud in the town after the strong storm, Gota Fria. The council warn of those who are taking advantage of the consequences and the situation that the DANA has left behind, and warns not to donate money or items unless the charity is either registered or approved by the council. The mayor has indicated that, according to the foreign collective of Almoradí, there are also people helping in voluntary tasks and are asking for money as a way of gratification for such deeds. The consistory has assured that whoever does take advantage of victims or those donating will be prosecuted.
THE expat charity Pink ladies of Playa Flamenca, Orihuela, is hoping to hit its target of raising half a million euros. Since 2010, Maria Wilson and the Pink Ladies charity has managed to raise an impressive €456,000. In June this year they held their ‘Walk for Life’ along the Orihuela coast which alone raised thousands of euros towards cancer screening and cancer awareness. The charity has stressed the need for continued support to help ease others suffering. Their latest charity event was held at the Inn Place in Formentera del Segura on Monday, but the charity is still taking donations.

Motorway Robbery A BRITISH holidaymaker travelling along the AP7 has become the victim of vehicle robbery. The young driver was travelling with her mum in an English plated car when they noticed a car flashing its lights and the occupants waving their arms for them to stop. Jacqueline, a salon owner from Glasgow, was wary of pulling over, but having driven from the UK was worried that there was a problem. She could reportedly hear the men saying ‘stop there are sparks coming from your car’ so she pulled over to see the problem. She took her car key out of the ignition as she was worried they may take her car’ but was unaware as she was getting out to go to the front of the vehicle one of them had gone to the back and had taken the belongings from her boot. She explained “I still don’t believe I fell for it, or never caught them as I was standing at the driver’s door looking for my phone to translate.” She was unable to get the registration plate of the vehicle but was able to remember that the vehicle was a bottle green Seat that looked relatively new. Jacqueline was travelling near to the Catalan area when this day light robbery occurred. Following on from this incident many others have since spoken out on Facebook about similar incidents, with one woman being pulled over by what she described as ‘fake police’ who wanted to see passports but had no ID or uniforms. Luckily she and her husband were not going to let them take their passports from them and drove away safely. Another incident included a woman who had her tyres slashed whilst in a petrol station, she was approached by a man who charged her for the repair, but feels he was part of a gang who had planned the scam to get her money.

Pilot and pupil die AN instructor from the General Air Academy and his pupil died last week when they crashed their small plane in the Mar Menor, close to the Club Náutico de Santiago de la Ribera, in San Javier, Murcia. Daniel Melero Ordóñez, 50, was a commander in the Air Force and was also a pilot of the Eagle Patrol, in addition to being in charge of the Maintenance Squadron. He was on board the aircraft with his student, Ensign Rosa María Almirón Otero, 20, when the aircraft suffered an engine failure during the takeoff manoeuvre, before plunging into the sea. The aircraft had made an earlier flight on Wednesday and was checked before the accident. According to reports, the accident happened during the third manoeuvre during takeoff. It fell between boats anchored next to the Nautical Club where the water was only two metres deep. Several Army vessels immediately approached the scene of the accident. Around 2pm, the emergency services managed to rescue the bodies inside the aircraft. The remains of the aircraft were transferred to the General Air Academy via Air Force boat which participated in the rescue. The mayor of San Javier, José Miguel Luengo, and the president of the Community, Fernando López Miras, who were inspecting the damage caused by the rains in the neighbouring town of San Pedro del Pinatar, had moved to the site of the accident. The plane, an Enaer T-35C Pillán or Tamiz model is designated by the Air Force for training AGA students. This is the second serious incident in less than a month involving an Air Force aircraft. On August 26, a c-101 reactor of the Eagle Patrol crashed into the Mediterranean sea in front of La Manga del Mar Menor in an accident in which the commander Francisco Marín died.

Beach cleared A RESIDENT of Torre de la Horadada has praised the actions of four teenagers who voluntarily cleared a beach of plastic. Preferring to remain anonymous, the beach goer was walking along the coast after the recent storms and was overwhelmed by the volume of plastic strewn across the sand. “I was amazed and shocked by the amount of plastic washed up,” he explains. But then he spotted four young girls who were picking up the rubbish washed in from the sea. They were described as around 14 to 16, English-speaking, picking up bottles and rubbish and placing them in plastic bin bags. After returning to the beach the next day the sand was almost clear, they had managed to collect all the rubbish and clear the beach again. The man explained “whoever you are, you and your parents should be proud.”

PERSISTENT: Esquina Park Rangers Walking Football Team.
Persistence pays off ESQUINA Park Rangers Wa l k i n g Football Team were in action on Friday, playing against Hondon Valley Flyers. Not much walking from both teams, Hondon’s centre-forward would give Usain Bolt a run for his money! Beardy Geoff was referee for this game and did a smashing job, keeping the boxing to a minimum. Esquina pounced first with Stuart the former Chester Casual somehow nipping the ball into the net. Big Dave Meldrum with more ta ttoos tha n Edinburgh, played in goal and kept out Hondon for a while until Big Andrew Webster tripped over his shoe lace
and encroached the six-yard box giving Hondon a penalty. Hondon stepped up and despite Dave’s best effort, scored making it one each. Hondon went 2-1 up as the Esquina Players moaned about a high ball which deflected off a player’s nose. Geoff was having none of it and the goal stood. With Esquina on the back foot, Dangerous Darren, who was hanging about their six-yard box like a bad smell, managed to toe-poke the ball past their stranded keeper, making it 2-2. Esquina had a couple of players sin-binned for two minutes each, Gordon being the first for an accidental slide tackle and Stuart for
squaring up to the Hondon player who no-one can understand. Into the last quarter and both teams were looking for the winner. It was Esquina’s persistence that paid off with Big Graham Cockburn toepoking the ball into the corner of the net. Good job Graham’s wife was watching in the crowd of 336 as Stuart was visibly struggling to contain his excitement. Esquina held on for a deserved 3-2 victory against a stubborn Hondon team. Well played to all the lads. Next home game is tomorrow (Friday, September 27) 11am kick-off against St Patrick’s Evergreen. All spectators welcome.
Water still undrinkable
WITH the continuing clean up on the shore of Mar Menor after the storms of Gota Fria the destruction begins to diminish. However, Los Alcazares continues to send out warnings of contaminated tap water following the disaster. Residents have been warned to use tap water only for showering and cleaning, but to refrain from drinking the possibly contaminated water. Residents are also urged not to use tap water for cooking or for cleaning babies’ bottles.
The flood water is still being pumped from flooded premises not only in Los Alcazares but also in the outlying districts of Murcia, such as Benijan and Bahia Bella on the shore of Mar Menor. The authorities have also released a statement explaining those who wish to join the small army of volunteers currently helping with the clean up can still do so and to contact authorities in the effected municipalities to find out how to join in.

Brits flood ordeal A BRITISH couple have spoken out about how they managed to escape the floods that washed away their home. The couple, w h o l i v e d i n A l m o r a d i , l o s t t h e i r e n t i re home in the floods but say they are ‘lucky to be alive.’ Richard, 50, and his wife Liesl, 49, had been evacuated from their home, a solid stone farm house, with only their passports and a small amount of cash. The riverside farm house was only 100 metres from the wall of the river Segura, which collapsed last Friday. They were rushed out of their property when the river burst its banks, leaving behind their five rescue cats, thinking that their home would only be surrounded by ‘a foot or so of flood water’ and presuming that the cats would be safe inside the house while the floods washed around their property. It wasn’t until the containing wall of the Segura river collapsed again, only metres from their home, they knew it was going to be ‘really bad.’ The force of the water obliterated their home. Attempting to return to their property they were turned away by emergency services blocking all access to the area. On Tuesday they were finally allowed to return to what used to be their farm house, to find a scene of devastation. “We just wanted to get back for the cats,” Richard explained: “but to return and see that the house was no longer there was devastating.” Only one cat was found cowering under some pallets near the demolished property. Luckily the couple also owned another property in Pinoso where they are now staying. Richard explained he feels ‘lucky’ as although they have lost their property and some animals, they still have a roof over their head for which they are grateful.

Underage drinking fine
UNDERAGE: Teenagers are easily obtaining alcohol from establishments failing to follow the law. THE Local Police of Guardamar del Segura have sanctioned the introduction of a fine of up to â‚Ź15,000 for the sale of alcohol to minors. There have been reports of serious infringements for not only the sale of alcohol after 10pm, but also the sale of alcohol to minors. The weight of the fine is due to the numerous previous complaints against the same es-
tablishment which reportedly failed to stop the illegal practice. According to sources, underage drinking and after hours sales are a serious problem on the Costa Blanca as the amount of holidaymakers are larger than in some parts of Spain, thus making the illegal trade more sought after. Police are cracking down on establishments failing to stick to the law on the sales of alcohol.

BREXIT BRIEF
BREXIT EXTRA
Corbyn remains on fence LABOUR activists failed to push leader Jeremy Corbyn off the fence and agree a clear Brexit policy for the party. Grassroots members at the party’s annual conference called on Monday for Labour to adopt an unequivocal Remain stance.
The public service union, Unison, backed the move but it wasn’t enough to change the party’s officially neutral position which many Labour supporters see as weak. Brexit has shown Labour is split over the UK’s future relationship with Europe. If Labour were to win a General Election the shadow
Court ruling due JUDGES have condemned Boris Johnson’s suspension of Parliament during Brexit talks as unlawful. The Supreme Court announced its historic finding on Tuesday after a three-day hearing. The legal challenge to the suspension was brought jointly by former Prime Minister John Major and campaigner Gina Miller. Calls have been made for Parliament to be recalled immediately and for Boris Johnson to resign. The government’s lawyers argued that suspending Parliament was a political matter and not one for the judiciary. Supreme Court president, Lady Hale, said the effect of the suspension on democracy had been “extreme”. She added that it had frustrated and prevented Parliament carrying out its constitutional functions and was “without reasonable justification”.
cabinet plans to maintain a ‘wait and see’ tactic while negotiating a new settlement with the EU. Their policy would be to call a referendum based on the details of the deal reached and to decide at that time what side to campaign on. Those demanding a clear Remain position had to convince the trade unions to support the motion as they control 50 per cent of the conference votes. They argued that the majority of members were already in favour of remaining in the EU - as was the shadow cabinet - and that officially declaring this would send a clear message to voters. But Mr Corbyn had reconfirmed his view that the party had to respect the original outcome of the referendum and understand why people voted to leave. Shadow chancellor John

Get real IRISH deputy Prime Minister Simon Courtney has called for ‘a dose of reality’ in the likelihood of a new deal being struck on Brexit. He warned there was still a wide gap between Dublin’s position on the backstop and the British government’s aims in reaching an agreement.
Ideas shared
STANCE: Party conference calls on leader to make a stand for Remain. McDonnell - who has already said he would support Remain in any future vote - welcomed the ‘honest debate.’ He said that people should not “mistake democracy for division” within the party. He told the BBC Today programme: “This is an honest, democratic debate and that is
what our party is about - making sure that people can express their views democratically and be honest about their assessments. “People have high emotions on this because they feel it is important, but people are respecting each other’s views as well.”
DOCUMENTS said to detail the UK government’s idea on how to find a solution have been shared with the EU. The confidential files were issued to the EU after Boris Johnson was told he had 12 days to reveal his plans. Discussion has now begun on the technicalities of post-Brexit trade.
World debate WORLD leaders were expected to join the Brexit debate at a meeting of the UN in New York this week. Boris Johnson said he intended to put Brexit on the agenda and would take the opportunity to discuss the way forward when he meets French and German leaders.

Held for 2009 killing A MAN, aged 44, has been arrested for an alleged murder of a woman who disappeared in 2009. The arrested man is at present serving a sentence for a 2010 murder. An investigation started in July 2016, when two young men came across two holdalls in Barranco de Santos at Puente Javier de Loño in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Inside the bags were human bones.
At that time the Homicide Group of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife National Police was investigating the disappearance of a woman, which had been reported several years previously by the woman’s daughter. As a result, the investigation focused on identifying the remains found, and seeing if they could be matched to the missing woman. This process culminated in the recent arrest.

Demolition of pine trees THE Association of Vecinos Guardamar Playa (Neighbors Guardamar Beach) have denounced the massive logging of pines that they fear will result in an almost desert area in Almeria.

Return of the mozzies
AFTER Spain suffered its worst storm in over 100 years and the water begins to recede, experts are warning of the possibility of an influx of mosquitoes. Over the next couple of weeks, the insects are expected to begin to hatch in their billions and be hungry for blood. Spain has seen a surge of tiger mosquitoes in the past months and with the sudden rain storms there are expected to be more to come. There are a few different steps which can be taken to help prevent or limit the amount of mosquitoes that hatch on the next cycle, emptying buckets, plant pots and any containers that have water in them will eliminate places for them to mate, lay eggs and hatch. The invasion of these deadly bugs cannot be stopped but it can be limited.
he assured that shrubs do not grow under the pine forest, something that is frequent in intensive reforestations, thus the agreement was passed to demolish the forest and the many, already dead, pine trees.

David de Gea’s floods donation MANCHESTER UNITED goalkeeper David de Gea has given €200,000 to help victims of the Costa Blanca storms. Seven people were left dead and the region devastated by floods with thousands of people’s homes badly affected. Now de Gea - whose father grew up in Orihuela in Alicante at the heart of the affected area - has chipped in to help, according to the Spanish
Red Cross. In a social media message it said: “€200,000 to support the people affected by the flooding in Alicante and Murcia. “David de Gea, thanks for your solidarity.” De Gea, aged 28, recently signed a new contract with Manchester United said to be worth £255,000 (€290,000) a week.

RELEASED: The female loggerhead turtle is ready to complete her journey back to her homeplace to continue her life in the wild. MURCIA has welcomed two baby loggerhead turtles, the first to be born in the region in more than a century. The turtles have only a one in a 1,000 chance of surviving into adulthood in the wild. The last known loggerhead turtle eggs to have been found on a beach in the region were in the late 19th century. But last week, two of 69 eggs buried in the sand at Cala Arturo hatched in the
regional park of Calblanque off the coast line of Cartagena. The eggs, buried on July 28, have carefully been looked after by the El Valle rescue centre with the hope that 10-12 more eggs could soon hatch. A 35-year-old female released into the wild is reportedly ready to ovulate and the agency hopes she will travel back to her birthplace to lay eggs.

Coma Scot flown home A SCOTTISH man who was left in a coma after being felled by a single punch has been flown back home from Ibiza. Gavin Robertson was assaulted on the Spanish island in an unprovoked attack on August 28. Mr Robertson, aged 28, was put into a medically induced coma due to the seriousness of his condition. He had bleeding on the brain and had developed a severe lung infection. It was not until three weeks later that Mr Robertson, from Stewarton in Ayrshire, came round with his mum Kirsty McMaster at his bedside. A Facebook fundraising page was set up to help pay bills as he did not have travel insurance. It has now been announced in the page that he has landed back in Scotland. Soon after the incident his mother explained that he had been due to fly home just seven hours after the attack. He was on a stag do with friends when he was punched in the back of the head as he stood at the ATM.

800,000 animals in experiments NEARLY 800,000 animals were used for experimentation and other scientific purposes, including teaching, in Spain in 2017. This was 43.5 per cent less than the just over 1.4 million used in 2009, the first year in which the Agriculture and Fishing Ministry produced official figures. The figures are included in the second annual report from the Agreement on Transparency on the Use of Animals in Experimentation, promoted by the COSCE Spanish Confederation of Scientific Societies. The report was compiled by the European Animal Research Association. COSCE Life Sciences and Health spokesperson Margarita del Val said the agreement aimed to establish “positive communication between society and investigators.” She defended the use of experimentation using animals, commenting it was carried out “to find out how
complete organisms function, how we get ill and how we make ourselves better.” She also maintained that “there are important illnesses which can only be studied with the living organisms of animals,” but stressed that investigators “always” try “alternative” methods to using animals first. Scientific investigator with the CSIC Upper Council of Scientific Investigation LluisMontoliu pointed out that Spain was the second country in Europe to launch an agreement on transparency in animal investigation following the UK’s move on the issue in 2014. Some 140 institutions have signed up to the agreement in Spain, including universities, companies, hospitals and public investigation bodies. The 2017 figures show 83 per cent of the animals used for scientific investigation that year were rodents. Birds and fish accounted for 11 per cent each. More than 400 of the animals were primates.

What to do in the event of an emergency 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 there are in effect two groups which most people would understand as being ‘the police.’ The National Police (Policía Nacional) who have jurisdiction in the towns and cities and the Guardia Civil outside the towns and cities. The Local Police are employed by town halls; they basically deal with property found, and enforce local laws. Whilst they have a power of arrest, when exercised they must take the arrested person to the National Police or Guardia Civil according to where the crime took place. National Police and the Guardia Civil deal with all crimes, missing persons etc in their jurisdiction. The National Police also deal with all applications for immigration paperwork, NIEs, EU Citizens Registration and for non EU nationals, Residencia, etc.
The 24 hours national emergency numbers for Spanish speakers are: 091 - police, 061 health emergencies 080 - firefighters. By calling 902 102 112, but only when the perpetrator is unknown, one can give details of certain crimes, including:- burglaries, car theft, theft or loss of documents or belongings. The service is available in English from 9am to 9pm seven days a week, and from 9am to 3pm in French, German and Italian. Having given details of the crime, you must go to the National Police station which you nominate, within 48 hours to make the report using the information supplied on the telephone. In the case of robbery, where threat or force has been used, victims should call 112 at the time for police attendance, or go directly to the police station which covers that area to make a report.
091 or 902 102 112 from 9am to 9pm
Throughput Europe the general number for all emergencies is 112. In Spain the operators speak English, French, German and Italian, in addition to Spanish and will liaise with the emergency services when the caller does not speak Spanish. No area code is needed and the number can be called from any phone, including mobiles even those without a Spanish SIM card or any credit. You can also fax or SMS 112.
Other useful number are:016, specifically to report instances of gender violence. For problems at sea, the Maritime Rescue Service (Salvamento Seguridad Maritmo) can be contacted by calling 900 202 202, and the Red Cross (Cruz Rojo) on 902 222 292. There is also a Red Cross 24-hour helpline 900 100 333.

Brexit: Expats in Malaga protest claiming ‘UK has forgotten us’ British expats are worried they will lose free access to Spanish healthcare and claim Madrid has done more for them than the UK THE protest in Malaga was sparked as European Commission President JeanClaude Juncker said Brussels will insist on border checks if there is a no-deal Brexit in order to conserve the interests of the EU. Dozens of Britons marched through the city of Malaga on Sunday to underline their concerns about their unsure position as Britain prepares to leave the European Union ahead of the October 31 deadline. Spain is home to around 300,000 Britons and is the most popular European retirement destination for UK residents, with around a third of them aged over 65. Among foreign nationals, they are by far the biggest users of Spain’s state-funded universal healthcare system.
According to UN Data, the Iberian peninsula accounts for almost a quarter of all Britons living in Europe. “We feel really forgotten here in Spain,” said Michael Soffe, a 61-year-old businessman who has lived in Malaga for 30 years. “Many here are pensioners - will they lose their healthcare overnight, for example?” he questioned. Protesters waved European Union, Spanish and British flags and held banners reading “They’re trying to make us leave the EU” and “Take back control: My grandkids’ future.” Acting Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, who could be replaced following November elections, has strived to assure Britons living in Spain, promising to protect their rights after Britain’s exit from the
European Union. One demonstrator on Sunday said Spain had done more for Britons living in the country than the British government. “Spain is doing everything it can to protect us,” said Tamara Essex, a 60-year-old from Dorset, southwest England, who has lived in Spain for more than seven years. “The UK government has forgotten us.” A spokesman for the Department for Exiting the European Union (DExEU) said on Sunday: “The Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay held productive discussions with groups representing the British community in Spain while in Madrid last week and made clear that protecting the rights of both UK nationals in the EU and EU citizens in the UK is a key priority for this government.”

‘Advanced’ terrorism plans Nine Catalan separatists arrested on Monday morning were at an ‘advanced’ level of preparations to carry out a series of violent attacks to coincide with the second anniversary of the unauthorised referendum on independence for the region, according to the public prosecutor. THE detentions on charges of terrorism, rebellion and possession of explosives were part of a major Guardia Civil operation focused on pro-Catalan independence movements. The public prosecutor said the detainees were all members of the CDR Committees for the Defence of the Republic, a network of local and regional assemblies set up two years ago to defend the Catalan independence referendum, which the Spanish courts declared illegal. Raids on 10 properties in various towns in Barcelona led to the seizure of what the Guardia described as ‘abundant material and substances considered precursors for making explosives, which could be (pending confir-

Although open to all ages, the classes are being held at the Youth Information Centre (CIAJ) and the only qualification is that those at-

ALERT to the dangers of climate change as well as erosion of coastlines, the AELCLIC-Pathfinder Project which is supported by the European Union is looking to map the future of Europe. Different parts of the EU will be studied to see whether it is possible to forecast the future and how long it will take for people’s ways of life to be affected and Torrevieja has been invited to be part of the study on southwest Europe. It isn’t just about the environment and climate as these have knock-on effects to social, financial, administrative and technical capacity and long-term plans will include strategies to help cope with all of the possible changes. The Torrevieja Council will be heavily involved in this project and will be talking to a range of different local parties who may have input including NGOs, businessmen, public administrations, researchers and residents in order to be able to gauge their views and expectations. The first meeting of this project will consist of a workshop that will take place on September 25 where the various interested groups and individuals will help to formulate a work plan for completion this year and this will be finalised at a second workshop to be held in October. The purpose of this project is to improve the way of life in towns and cities that produce products that respect the environment while optimising the use of land and its resources to produce the food that is needed.

The unidentified man was enjoying a meal with his wife at Venta La Butibamba in La Cala de Mijas (Malaga) when food blocked his airway. Initially his wife tried to help, but her efforts were proving ineffective. That is when restaurant manager Víctor Parras, aged 28, stepped in. He knew how to practise the Heimlich manoeuvre, as the abdominal compression technique is known, which is performed as first aid to help expel an object that obstructs the airway. Everything happened very quickly, in two distressing minutes that were recorded by the security camera of the establishment. Initially the manoeuvre didn’t work and the man started to turn purple, so Victor redoubled his efforts. Finally, the meat was dislodged and the man could breathe again.

The elderly, for us, are a very important sector in our municipality.” Segura continued to explain that the works had the “intention of improving the quality of service offered to the elderly and encourage active ageing in the facilities themselves.” REFURB: Jesus Perez Atencia, and Jose David Segura stand outside the newly refurbished centre.
MALLORCA ORIENTA: One of the few public services of this type in the country.
LGBTI advice centres THE Valencian council has outsourced advice to gays, lesbians, transsexuals, bisexuals and intersexuals to the most well-known associations in the region. The programme, named Orienta, is a pioneering initiative in the Valencian Community and one of the few public services of this type in the country. Its function is to inform and guide members of the LGBTI community, friends and families who need help in matters of gender identity and sexual orientation, as well as psychological, social, legal, administrative or health support. “We help from trans people who are starting the process to people who have suffered aggressions or any other hate crime,” said the director of the service, Victor Sanchez. Although it has been active since July 1, the launch of the programme will take place in September. The service is staffed by seven professionals with different profiles, most of them graduates from LGTBI activism networks and social work.
Truce in conflict A PEACE pact has been agreed by warring neighbours. The Association of Neighbours and Friends of Santa Catalina has signed an ‘agreement of coexistence’ with businesses in the area after a row over noise and disturbance. The agreement has been reached with the Restaurants and Leisure Association of Santa Catalina and the Municipal Market to try to create a way forward to prevent future conflict. President of the Association of Neighbours and Friends of Santa Catalina, Jacinta Galindo, explained that the aim was to create harmony and understanding between all three parties. Mr Galindo said: “The signatory entities are committed to ensure the care of the environment, respect the rest of the neighbours, promote local products, support the small and medium business of the neighbourhood, and improve relations between neighbours and institutions.” There has been confrontation throughout the summer between restaurant owners and residents over noise and obstruction from the terraces throughout the area. This agreement is to allow the parties to work together and states an understanding that ‘Santa Catalina is a district where most of its development is based on leisure and the market and we have to understand each other.’

Bankia’s new business
THE revitalised Bankia which was rescued by the Spanish Government (and still owns a substantial shareholding in the bank) has now entered into the insurance market. The Bankia group was initially formed from the merger of a number of small savings banks and by 2012 was the third largest lender and held the largest portfolio of real estate in Spain but basically, it was a house of cards. The Spanish Government had to in ject some €20 billion into the rescue
By John Smith and the former chairman Rodrigo Ra to was arrested and eventually found guilty of embezzlement. Although original shareholders lost money during the bailout, the bank it self has recovered, returning to profit and paying dividends. It has significantly increased its number of employees in the insur ance section and is working with large insurance group Mapfre to offer a se lection of that insurer’s products across mainland Spain, although in the Balearic Islands it will offer a dif
ferent range from the insurer Sa Nos tra. Already turnover has increased by €75 million. The bank considers this a useful way of growing income by of fering what it describes as value added products earning it commis sion. The next step from selling these in surances in branches, is to go online. This has now started with car insur ance and will expand over a few months to offer home and life insur ance to the wider public as well as ex isting bank customers.
LEGALLY SPEAKING Did they have permission? We were taken to court by a neighbour and by our Community of Property Owners for an extension that we built sixteen years ago. We lost the case and we were ordered to remove the extension. Our town hall advised us at the time that we could do the work and our lawyers assured us that the building would never be demolished. We have completed the demolition and we have a buyer for the house. We have lost about €100,000 with building work. We also have four longstanding liens on the property which now amount to a total of about €30,000. Our lawyers say we also have to pay €6,000 for costs of removing the liens from the land registry. From a house sold at €150,000 we will be left with €33,000. Can you advise? J.S. (Costa Blanca) You do not say why you lost the YOU AND THE court case. I sus LAW IN SPAIN pect that it is be cause you did not obtain the permission of the commu nity before making the extension. Properly, your town hall should not have issued a building permit without first seeing this permission. This, I fear, will not consti tute grounds for an appeal.

Green energy
A BRITISH investment company SDCL, which specialises in energy generation, expects to take over a portfolio of energy production plants from an unnamed source in Spain at an estimated cost of €64 million. The purchase, which has yet to be officially approved, will bring five combined heat and power plants, two olive processing plants and two biomass plants to the company. It is believed that the operation not only has longterm supply agreements with a number of major companies but also sup plies the National Grid.

Taking on Netflix HAVING seen the success of foreign TV distribution platforms such as Netflix and Disney in Spain, two local giants are create a joint venture to compete. According to media sources, Atresmedia, the owner of Antena 3 TV and La Sexta, and telecom munications company Telefónica, are applying for approval to set up this new company to take advan tage of the large perceived market here in Spain.
Both organisations are strong in their own partic ular areas, with Telefónica (and Movistar) having a large share of the pay TV market, while Atresmedia already produces large volumes of new TV, some of which is already sold to Netflix. This new company will not just focus on the Spanish market but will look to enter into other Spanishspeaking countries and must have an eye open to the size of the Latino population in the USA.

IRPH Mortgage opinion By John Smith THERE are differing views concerning an initial indication from the advocate general of the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) in respect of the mortgage interest based on Spain’s mortgage price index (IRPH). In publishing his opinion, which is not binding, he infers that there is a possibility that the conditions sur rounding such mortgages, issued main ly in the building boom years in Spain could be considered abusive.
IN COURT: A hearing before the CJEU.
Flush sensibly A NEW campaign in Malaga Province may well be picked up throughout Spain as it reminds the public of the dangers of irresponsible use of sanitary wipes and napkins. Acosol - the public water company of the Costa del Sol and the water distributors Hidralia, have launched the campaign with a 20-second video aimed at social media. It points out the problems caused to both the sewer systems and the environment by flushing away such wipes.
According to the Acosol spokesperson, the company collected more than 2,000 tons of these wipes from its sewage plants in 2018. It was revealed that this is the largest type of non-degradable waste being dealt with by the company. The campaign, which is supported by posters and brochures, wants to explain to the public the inadvisability of simply flushing away such items and also to promote to manufacturers the need to make them biodegrable.
The matter was referred to the CJEU by a Barcelona court as the holder of such a mortgage was making a claim against his lender arguing that the cal culations surrounding the mortgage in terest charged were not clear and that his lender was charging more than if he had the more common mortgage tied to the EURIBOR rate. In essence, the advocate has sug gested that, if there is not total clarity in the wording of the mortgage docu ment, then there may be reasonable cause for complaint, but any final deci sion concerning such cases would actu ally rest with the Spanish courts. Some lawyers believe that assuming the CJEU supports his view, then there will be a significant number of cases brought against Spanish lenders with the opportunity for compensation to be awarded, but the Association of Spanish Banks takes a different view, believing that borrowers would have understood what they were letting themselves in for. The final ruling from the court will not be until next year and Spanish banks are making no special provisions in their 2019 accounts for compensa tion pay outs.

UK trade deals sparse WITH Brexit fast approaching (possibly), there is every probability that the European Market for British goods and import of EU goods could be heavily curtailed until such time as a trade agreement is entered into. In the meantime, Britain will have to rely on World Trade Organisation terms, which do generally see the imposition of tariffs, or make some very hasty trade deals if that is possible. Once the result of the Brexit referendum was known, the British Government set up a special department to deal with promoting trade deals. It has so far entered into some ‘continuity deals’ which means that the agreements will basically be the same as if the UK was still part of the EU. There are 13 such deals in place covering much of Africa, Central America, the Caribbean, the Pacific Islands, Palestine and other smaller territories with the only major deals being struck with Iceland, Norway, South Korea and Switzerland.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT WELL there’s a turn up. A recent poll carried out by our illustrious, ‘non-biased’ BBC TV, which asked if integration was working in the UK, resulted in a massive 95 per cent of the public coming back with an emphatic and decisive NO. Yes you read it correctly 95 per cent! Al most unbelievably, on receiving the live out come, despite the result being overwhelm ing, some of the nodoubt carefully selected studio panel, still argued that the poll had somehow been conducted in the ‘wrong ar eas’. Give us all a break. Just how convincing do these results have to be before the snowflakes and arrogant ‘knowitall’ elite can admit they are in the wrong? Listen carefully all of you so called ex perts! Whatever ‘area,’ time of the month or ‘wrong leaves on the track’, 95 per cent against 5 per cent is an utterly decisive vote against the outof touch policies constantly being jammed down the throats of the British public. You only have to ask anyone living outside your privileged, selfindulgent, naive bubble.

No social bliss
CULTURAL INTEGRATION: Recognise the problems and quell the rising disquiet. big ‘happy family’ simply doesn’t work. No one is happy. The different cultures aren’t happy, the mish mashes of diverse religion ists aren’t happy and the indigenous popula tion, who used to be happy, is quite rightly not only extremely unhappy, but is also be coming increasingly angry with the whole sorry state of affairs.
It’s also time the media egocentrics stopped insulting the public’s intelligence and desisted from churning out this positive glut of agonizingly PC commercials, where every second TV ad shows mixed marriages and diverse families living in blissful harmo ny. Or depicts walks in the park, with a care fully chosen cross section of cultures, all
playing happily together. It is all a cruel illu sion. It simply isn’t true. I’m not trying to stir up racial disharmony or religious unrest; I’m simply pointing out that, the sooner we recognise that problems truly do exist, and that this whole diversity experiment is in its present form an unmitigated disaster, then the sooner we will quell the rising disquiet and begin a positive approach to sort out the problems. All the time we listen to the leftie snowflakes spouting their propaganda and lying about the true situation and con tinue to let the politicians ride slip shod over our democracy, the quicker we will slide into physical confrontations on our streets. Sooner or later yet another Enoch Powel prophecy will manifest and it will all be far too late. In closing I hasten to add that this piece was very closely akin to a column I wrote nearly twenty years ago. At the time it was laughed at and simply dismissed as a ‘Leapy rant’. Well no one in their right mind is laughing now. Or are they!? I await the slings and arrows with breath ing bated. Keep the faith Love Leapy. Leapylee2002@gmail.com

FEAR OF DEMOCRACY? HI Leapy I live in Spain, expat, I am afraid you fall into the same category as most Brexiteers in as far as you want out for whatever your reasons are, and all the rest of us are wrong, you and all the get out brigade, do not want a second referen dum or peoples’ vote for one reason only, that is that you all think that you would lose. I, as a remain voter, would except a leave ver dict even if it meant NO DEAL exit, because I be lieve in democracy with all the facts laid bare, not the sham of lies from both sides that we were dished up with 2016, we all know a lot more now than we did then, the population is now different as far as a lot more younger vot ers now and a lot of older people passed away, this is more for the future of the young and NOT for the old, so anyone over the age of 75 should not be given the vote, which I am one, but 16 yearolds and upwards should. To link this question in a general election is so wrong to have the issues involved with many others is a con trick as you and I know. I think that a win to stay in would be a bigger percentage now than the leave vote got last time, as I think most people that have any logic would conclude, what are you all fright ened of? In a word, democracy. I agree with 95 per cent of what you write in the EWN. Felt a need to write, love your column. Regards Les Brice Keep the faith HI Leapy, What a fantastic column, I totally agree with everything you said, keep the faith bloody MPs. Regards Keith Moore. Rock the boat DEAR Leapy I’m back on the Costa Blanca for a break with my wife, and always read your piece in the paper. As usual, you are absolutely spot on! Keep up the good work mate and never stop rocking the boat. Gerald and Linda Care and concern DEAR Editor In a complete diversion from politics and tragedy, just wanted to share a scene I wit nessed at the weekend.

Thomas Cook turns to government for bail out No, the government would do nothing to help my company, so why should they help Thomas Cook, especially as they have struggled for years as they haven’t changed their business model to keep up with the times. Also travel companies should be made to pay into a fund to provide assurance for travellers should this happen. Why should it cost the British taxpayer to get travellers back home if a pri vate company goes under, it’s their responsibility not the taxpayer. Neil Holmes Absolutely not, why leave it for so long, they ob viously knew they were in trouble. I bet those that knew end up with all their money, what about all the poor staff. It’s a shame if you’ve booked a holiday with them but you will get the money back, I wonder how many staff will be out

LAST WEEK’S POLL: Can we as expats/immigrants criticise Spain’s animal rights issues, for example bull fighting?
• Yes
AFTER 178 years in business Thomas Cook has gone under with debts of £1.7 billion (€1.92 billion). There are around 150,000 customers abroad and 600,000 in total affected, including those with holidays and flights already booked. The fleet of 40 jumbo jets hired to bring people home from overseas is said to be costing £150 million (€169.8 million). Total cost of compensating people for their lost holidays and for the emergency repatriation of stranded customers could reach as high as £600 million (€679 million). The reasons for the collapse of the world’s most famous tour company - and one that has been closely associated with Spain since the start of package tours to the nation in the 1960s - boil down to a disastrous merger with My Travel in 2007. It left the company saddled with enormous debts. The full price became evident in May when a £1.5 billion loss (€1.7 billion) - including a £1 billion (€1.13 billion) write-off from the merger - was announced. But could it have been different? A £900 million (€1.02 billion) rescue package was in place when the banks - led by taxpayer-owned RBS - demanded another £200 million (€226 million) in funding. It is somewhat ironic that a bank that received billions in bail-out funds from the taxpayer was not prepared to be a little more flexible for a giant company that employed 9,000 people in the UK alone.
THE FUTURE: Should it be in the hands of young voters? up in a layby. I could see a male and female in their late teens looking agitated so stopped my car to see if they needed help. They immediately appeared relieved and ushered me over to where an elderly Spanish man had fallen into a roadside ditch. His two dogs were frantic and had attracted the atten tion of the convoy of youngsters who were dri ving past on their way out for the evening. The elderly man was not injured but was in shock.
EWN 61
Council on October 17/18, it’s normal procedure to have proposals two weeks ahead so nations can haggle at diplomatic/official level. This means a deal effectively needs to be in paper proposal form by the beginning of October, so it’s not an ultimatum, both sides are aware of the timescale, so its brava do, on the EU’s part. Chris J Fare
RESPECT for Spanish military that swoop in after the floods and save the day once again! So so proud of the Spanish emergency services. Thank you each and every one of you. You risk your lives to save others and rescue people then help with the flooding. Forever grateful and in your debt. Lyn Rowe
POLL OF THE WEEK
Should prostitution be completely legalised and sex workers pay taxes?
• YES
• NO
At the EWN, we pride ourselves that reports are accurate and fair. If we do slip up, we promise to set the record straight in a clear, no-nonsense manner. To ask for an inaccuracy to be corrected. Email: editorial@euroweeklynews.com

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) You like to do your own things in your own way and in your own time. That certainly shows this week. It can cause a bit of a stir with family. Even so, it will inspire someone close to step forward and make their own stand. Put someone straight when they step out of line.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) The kind nature that is so much a part of you is only too evident this week. A situation makes you feel frustrated and you need to find a way forward. A bit of expert advice goes a long way even if it does mean that you still have to go it alone. Be strong and remind yourself that this is for someone else.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) As you prefer living in the here and now, you find it difficult to understand and tolerate people who plot and plan in advance. It is tedious in the extreme to consider every little detail of something which may never happen. Because there is this relaxed attitude, you have developed a larger-thanlife personality.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) This time of year reminds you just how much you enjoy home comforts. Plan ahead now for those chilly winter nights when the air is crisp and the wine is mulled. The urge is to work with others this week and that in itself throws up plans for evenings ahead. Having planned a romantic weekend there may need to be some adjustments.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Your mind, as ever, is changeable. This is a fun time to dabble at this and that to bring a bit of variety to your life and work. Meeting new people and starting new projects means that it is a busy time at work but the rewards are high.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) This is an emotional week, when it is difficult to keep things to yourself. Get together with others and do a bit of social networking. Talk, and if you cannot bring yourself to confess to a problem, say that it is a friend of yours who has it. Certainly, you need to share this concern to get a balanced picture. Things that are held inside can get blown out of all proportion. Think of something to spice up your love life at the weekend because it is a romantic time.

www.euroweeklynews.com • 26 September - 2 October 2019
LEO (July 24 - August 23) There is a highly social week ahead with social gatherings here and there. A trip means that finances start to look brighter. You may find it necessary, if you are to progress, to consider a move to another job or area. Get involved with people who have been in the same situation. This gives you a good guide as to exactly where you want to be. Someone fresh brings a romantic lift to the weekend and you are reminded of how things used to be.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) There is a great impatience this week when someone flatly refuses to see something through to the end. You do not admire sloppiness and your reaction shows this. It may be necessary for you to sort out a situation which has been going on far too long. As you dislike loose ends in any respect, your patience may come to an end.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Energy is high and there is a lot of fun to be had. An invitation sent out brings an old friend to your table. This is not as straightforward as you think it will be. Odd stirrings make you confused. Could it be that going back is the right way to go forward? Remove yourself for a while to consider rather than be torn in two directons at once.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You feel like a fish out of water in a confused and noisy situation. Perhaps you are not making the right kind of friends, so take control of the quality of people who you associate with. Maybe it is relatives that are causing concern. You cannot choose your relatives, but it is possible to see less of them.

This is a great social week. Your puppy-like enthusiasm attracts others and a barrage of good vibes comes your way. Indeed, your relaxed attitude allows someone close to get their own life a bit more into perspective.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) People look to you to guide them through the maze of right and wrong this week. Your talent for bringing humour into the most tense situations is invaluable midweek. Summer is a socialising time for you and it is all steam ahead as you issue invitations and receive some back.

Flu jab alternative A STICK-ON patch could spell the end of the flu jab. Scientists have created a patch which could protect against flu as ef fectively as the traditional vaccine, new research compiled by Universi ty of Rochester suggests. The search for an alternative to flu jabs has been ongoing for decades amid concerns the method can cause patient anxiety, has to be ad ministered by a medical professional and creates biohazard waste. Researchers now believe they have made a breakthrough after testing the patch on mice. The new patch around the size of a standard plaster contains syn thetic proteins that make the skin
more “permeable”, as effectively as a flu vaccine. Trials on mice showed the patch “initiated a robust immune re sponse”. And the rodents showed no increased risk of infection over the next three months, suggesting the patch did not permanently af fect their skin barrier. The team stress, however, more animal studies need to be carried out, with the patch hopefully being tested in human trials “in the fu ture”. “Scientists have been studying needlefree vaccine approaches for nearly two decades, but none of the technologies have lived up to the hype,” study author Dr Benjamin
Miller said. “Our patch over comes a lot of the chal lenges faced by mi croneedle patches for vaccine delivery, the main method that's been tested over the years. “And our efficacy and lack of toxicity make me excited about the prospect of a product that could have huge implications for global health.” Flu jabs are effective but can come with a host of problems, in cluding pain and some people hav ing a fear of needles. Microneedle patches have been suggested as an alternative, howev

26 September - 2 October 2019 SPENDING at least two hours a week in nature may be a crucial threshold for promoting health and well-being, according to a new large-scale study. Research led by the Universi ty of Exeter, published in Scien tific Reports and funded by NIHR, found that people who spend at least 120 minutes in nature a week are significantly more likely to report good health and higher psychological wellbeing than those who don’t visit nature at all during an average week. However, no such benefits were found for people who vis ited natural settings such as town parks, woodlands, country parks and beaches for less than 120 minutes a week.
www.euroweeklynews.com
HEALTH & BEAUTY
Getting back to nature The study used data from nearly 20,000 people in Eng land and found that it didn't matter whether the 120 min utes was achieved in a single visit or over several shorter vis its. It also found the 120minute threshold applied to both men and women, to older and younger adults, across different occupational and ethnic groups, among those living in both rich and poor areas, and even among people with long term illnesses or disabilities. Dr Mat White, of the Univer sity of Exeter Medical School, who led the study, said: “It’s well known that getting out doors in nature can be good for people’s health and wellbeing
BREATH OF FRESH AIR: Being outdoors - good for health and well-being.
but until now we’ve not been able to say how much is enough. The majority of nature visits in this research took place within just two miles of home so even visiting local urban greenspaces seems to be a good thing. Two hours a week is hopefully a realistic target for many people, especially given that it can be spread over an entire week to get the benefit.” There is growing evidence that merely living in a greener neighbourhood can be good for health, for instance by reducing air pollution. The data for the current research came from Natural England’s Monitor of Engagement with the Natural Environment Survey, the
world’s largest study collecting data on peo ple’s weekly contact with the natural world. Coauthor of the research, Professor Terry Hartig of Upp sala University in Sweden said: “There are many reasons why spending time in nature may be good for health and wellbeing, including getting perspective on life circumstances, reducing stress, and enjoying quality time with friends and family. The cur rent findings offer valuable sup port to health practitioners in making recommendations about spending time in nature to promote basic health and wellbeing, similar to guidelines for weekly physical activity.”

E-trade plagued by scams MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I DON’T like Facebook. I may have mentioned it 100 times before, but I use it because certain information I need is only posted there. Something I have used it for is to sell a mobility scooter that I purchased and no longer want. It works perfectly well by the way if anybody wants it. Anyway, I put it on Facebook at least €200 cheaper than any other; and nothing. All I got was people ask ing questions, me answering them and then nothing. Then I tried to sell it to the people that were obviously professional retailers – but nobody was interested. I had the same problem with eBay. I have friends in the UK who actually get a living selling stuff on there, and I’m talking about secondhand clothes, bags, baby stuff etc. I, on the other hand, was told that it was very hard to sell anything on Spanish eBay be cause all the punters thought everything was a scam. When I did try and sell some thing, I got the reverse.
I had a couple of decent watches I want ed to get rid of. They had boxes and papers and were brand new; never been worn. Well as soon as I put them on, the scam mers started. I had one person tell me that the money would be sent as soon as they received the watch and, as it was a gift, could I send it to somewhere in Nigeria. He gave me his UK address to be safe which I googled and found never existed. I had another who wanted to send me a cheque because he didn’t have PayPal. The cheque would be for £500 more than the watch and could I send him the difference by Western Union. Generously, I could keep £100 of it for helping him. Of course, what these people do is send you worthless pay ments hoping you will send the product which, of course, I didn’t but I have to say these scammers are a persistent bunch. I know someone that sold an item and the buyer then demanded payment for a good review and, if they didn’t pay, they would start making sure they got bad re views. This, of course, was just another trick to try and get money for nothing. After refus ing, the item was returned as ‘not as adver tised’. Shame these people don’t spend as much time setting up legit businesses!

The world record for removing and replacing a car engine is 42 seconds.
Dependable hybrid and electric models BRITAIN’S most and least reliable new and used cars have been revealed, with hybrid models among the most dependable and Land Rover and Renault owners found to have the least reliable cars. The 2019 Reliability Survey from Britain’s consumer champion and new car buying platform, What Car?, con ducted in association with MotorEasy, used reader feedback from more than 18,000 drivers to find the most depend able cars up to five years old.
www.euroweeklynews.com 26 Sept - 2 Oct 2019
Hybrid cars from Japanese brands topped the reliability charts, with the Lexus CT (2011 present) and Toyota Yaris Hybrid (2011 present) receiving a 100 per cent reliability rating from own ers, indicating they suffered no faults over the previous 12 months. The only other car to match this achievement was the Kia Soul (2014 2019). Although electric vehicles and hybrids have the best average reliability rating (96.1 per cent) of the 10 car classes in the survey, not all cars with this technology are dependable. The Renault Zoe (2013
present) scored a lowly 82.3 per cent, with 44 per cent of owners saying their car had suffered a fault. The worst vehicle class for reliability was Luxury SUVs at 86.5 per cent, with the Range Rover (2013 present) and Range Rover Velar (2017 present) prov ing the least bulletproof. Almost half of Velar owners (48 per cent) said their car experienced a fault in the past 12 months, while 35 per cent of Range Rover owners had needed to visit a garage, with battery issues most com mon.
TOYOTA YARIS HYBRID: Received a 100 per cent reliability rating from owners. At brand level, Lexus vehi cles were found to be most reliable, with a 99.3 per cent reliability rating, fol lowed by Toyota and Suzuki. Japanese and South Korean brands dominated the top 10 brand reliability rankings, oc cupying seven of the places. The worst brand for reliability was Land Rover, with an 81.3 per cent rating, just below Renault and Jeep. What Car?’s Reliability Survey asked owners whether their car had gone wrong in the past 12 months, how long repairs took and how much they had to
pay to get their vehicle back on the road. Of the 18,119 cars included in the study, 26 per cent had experienced at least one fault, with the most common problem a nonelectrical engine fault. Diesel drivers were more likely to have visited a garage than owners of other types of car, with diesels accounting for 58 per cent of all faults. When it came to paying for repairs, 11 per cent of owners had to fork out between £101 and £200, while 3 per cent of repairs ex ceeded £1,500.

cient management by obtaining biomethane from an indigenous, abundant energy source. The project will be developed with other partners for the next four years and has an overall bud get of €4.6, of which the Euro pean Commission will fund 55 per cent. Andrew Shepherd, who is re sponsible for SEAT’s renewable gas projects, emphasised that “this project will enable us to make headway in the develop ment and research into bio methane as a fuel. Our ultimate aim is to guarantee zero environ mental impact for CO2 emissions in the entire life cycle of vehicles.” With the goal of boosting the circular economy, energy efficien cy and emissions reduction, SEAT is currently working on the Life Methamorphosis project to ob tain biomethane from previously selected waste and animal slurry from a farm in Lleida. The new Life Landfill Biofuel project is a step further as the raw material originates directly from the land fill, without prior separation. The European Union is going to limit to 10 per cent the amount of municipal waste that can be
dumped in landfills by 2035. For this reason, converting waste into vehicular biofuel is one solution to this environmental challenge. Other organisations also partici pating in this new project include FCC, IVECO, The University of Granada, the CARTIF Foundation, SYSADVANCE and Gasnam. SEAT has also developed a simi lar project with Aqualia to convert waste water into biofuel. There are close to half a mil lion landfill sites in Europe, so the development and research into the operating procedures to obtain biomethane from waste represents a business opportu nity to convert waste into a source of energy, which at the same time would contribute to lowering environmental emis sions. In this sense, there is great po tential in establishing certificates of origin for the production of bio methane. This system would facil itate the development of the in dustry in Spain, as it is being done in other European Union coun tries, and being able to transfer these certificates among sectors would open up several opportu nities to the transport industry.

WATFORD were totally destroyed in an incredible opening 18 minutes during which the champions scored five times. Breathless, irresistible, scarcely believable… City ripped Watford to shreds with the sort of blistering start that may not be witnessed again by the Pre mier League for a very long time. If the champions were still angry at last weekend’s defeat to Norwich, it was Watford who paid a heavy price. With 18 minutes of this game gone, City had scored five times. Five times. It was mesmerising football that the shortsleeved capacity crowd lapped up in the early autumn sunshine. Where to begin? Silva started the rout as he arrived at the optimal moment to turn in Kevin De Bruyne’s su perb low cross with just 52 sec onds on the clock. And the celebrations had barely died down as Watford came within a whisker of equal ising through Gerard Deulofeu’s clever run and low shot that was palmed around the post by Emerson. City soon doubled their lead,

Watford wipe out though, with De Bruyne racing forward before feeding Mahrez who was brought down by Ben Foster – a clear penalty. Aguero stepped up to stroke home his eighth of the season and his 100th Etihad goal – a feat only achieved by two other players in the Premier League era. The third, on 12 minutes, was all about Mahrez who danced past a number of chal lenges before being felled on the edge of the box – he took the resulting freekick which deflected in off Tom Cleverley. And the goals kept coming. With Watford’s porous de fence looking like they might concede with every attack, De Bruyne whipped in a corner
that was nodded across goal by Otamendia and headed home by Bernardo on 15 minutes. Three minutes later, Ota mendi slid home Aguero’s low cross to make it five. It was ruthless attacking football by the rampant Blues, and it was quite a way to mark the Club’s 125th anniversary celebration. There were further opportu nities, but for the final 27 min utes or so, Watford rode their luck and the Blues eased off the gas a little. But the ceasefire ended just three minutes after the restart as persistence by David Silva and Bernardo eventually ended with an opportunity for the Portuguese playmaker who neatly gathered the ball before
slotting it past Foster for his second of the afternoon. The popular former Monaco man completed his treble on the hourmark, after a sublime Mahrez pass found De Bruyne who claimed yet another assist as his low cross was poked home by Bernardo. Angelino, who replaced Mendy at the break, made some excellent raids down the right and his pinpoint cross al most resulted in number eight as Mahrez thumped the cross bar with a header. Eric Garcia and Joao Cancelo also came on for brief cameos before De Bruyne ensured the Blues had their biggest Premier League win with a thunderous drive on 85 minutes. It was no more than KDB de
