FINANCE 44-47 IMPORTANT DISCOVERY: Traces of cultivation from II-I centuries BC. ARCHAEOLOGISTS working on the excavations site of Acebedo, in Mijas, have discovered remains that are more than 2,500 years old. During these works a small basin has appeared, of which they are currently studying its content to define whether it is a space for the production of wine or salted fish and that it was in use until the century I BC. In addition, there have also been traces of cultivation from II-I centuries BC, which by their arrange-

ment, shape and separation correspond to ancient vineyards. The mayor of Mijas, Josele González has indicated that this site is one of the most important in the province of Malaga, “in which remains of more than 2,500 years have appeared, in three different epochs: Phoenician, Punic and Roman.” Councillor for Historical Heritage, Laura Moreno has stated that “from Historic Heritage we continue betting on this site, taking into account that we have tripled the

budget, not only for this site but for other culturally important assets that we have in the area of great importance.” The archaeological site will be a key part of the project called Gran Parque de Las Lagunas, Gonzalez said: “This space has to be converted into a large archaeological museum with its own identity, which can diversify the tourist offer that the municipality has and we will put all the resources that are within our reach to make it a reality as soon as possible.”

Employee struck off

Abortion is Holocaust

A NURSING assistant at the Hospital Clínico de Malaga has been suspended from employment for reportedly improper touching of two patients. Two complaints have been filed against him in court for these alleged incidents which are said to have happened whilst he accompanied the women to the bathroom. One of the women mentioned the incident to her relatives and the other agreed she also felt that she had been violated by the assistant. On Tuesday, the hospital indicated that “upon the detection of a possible case of harassment of two patients admitted to hospitalisation,” the management has opened a disciplinary file. Also stating “The professional and alleged perpetrator of the events has been removed from his work activity until the trial is held.”

SEVEN religious leaders representing the Muslim community, the Catholic Church, City Line Church, Church of Scotland, Fidaldelfia Evangelical Church, the Jewish Community and the Methodist Church of Gibraltar have issued a joint statement, encouraging everyone to vote ‘no’ in the upcoming referendum on abortion. They were photographed holding hands over the Holocaust Memorial in Commonwealth Park and a spokesman for the leaders told GBC News that “abortion is a modernday holocaust.” The Government of Gibraltar which is not ‘taking sides’ has responded saying that it considers the photograph to be badly ill-judged in “seeking to mobilise the horrific atrocity and crime against humanity that the Holocaust represents in favour of one side in the referendum debate.” The referendum is due to take place on Thursday March 19 and has caused controversy which is likely to continue.

EXTENDING OPERATIONS: One of the most profitable lines in Spain.

Late night train THE plenary session of Fuengirola have unanimously approved the request to extend the operating hours of the train that connects with Malaga at night during summer. Specifically, the proposal includes urging Fomento and the Railway Infrastructure Manager to extend the night time operations of the Fuengirola-Malaga train, at

least until 3am on summer days, holidays or days when large events affect its route. This service benefits 800,000 residents, as indicated by the proposing mayor, Rodrigo Romero, in addition to tourists who come annually to the Costa del Sol during any time of the year. “We talked about the summer period from June 15 to September

30, as well as the days of major events in Fuengirola and the rest of the cities through which the train runs,” Romero said during the debate. The Fuengirola-Malaga commuter line exceeds 11.5 million users annually. Therefore, “it is considered one of the most profitable lines in Spain per square kilometre," said the councillor.

After the presentation, Jacqui gave a brief talk to the Lions on the new set up at Last Chance after the closure of Animals in Distress, FAMA and other animal rescue centres. She advised that over the last year, there had been an increase of 60 per cent in abandoned dogs in the area, but the two kennels they have taken over from Animals

in Distress will help cope with this increase. Last Chance is in the process of improving its facilities in Pizarra and is planning to introduce a programme of education to try to reduce the continual rise of abandoned animals and hopes to be able to introduce a programme of sterilisation at an affordable price. The money given by the Lions will be used to cover the expensive vets bills that Last Chance is regularly faced with. For further details of the La Cala de Mijas Lions please visit their

Finally caught A MERSEYSIDE drug t r a ff i c k i n g s u s p e c t has been arrested in Spain after six years on the run. The alleged ringleader of a cocaine trafficking group that expected to bank more than £1 million every month has been arrested in Spain after more than six years on the run. Dominic McInally, 29, from Formby, Merseyside, was arrested when officers from the Spanish National Police raided the Casa Masa strip club, near Marbella, in the early hours of February 28. McInally was a subject of Operation Captura, which targets fugitives suspected to be hiding out among the UK national community in

parts of Spain. Jointly run by the NCA, Crimestoppers UK and Spanish authorities, Operation Captura has now resulted in 85 subjects being apprehended since 2006. Just 10 remain at large. Following his arrest, McInally was taken to Madrid, where extradition proceedings will begin. He has been wanted by Merseyside Police since January 2014, when officers intercepted a car in Crosby and recovered six kilograms of cocaine in a hidden compartment. Five members of the group allegedly led by McInally were later sentenced to a total of 48 years’ imprisonment.

DOMINIC MCINALLY: On the run since January 2014.

British Ambassador to Spain, Hugh Elliott said: “The arrest of Dominic McInally would not have been possible without the excellent co-operation between the British and Spanish police forces. It is yet another success under Operation Captura, which has resulted in dozens of fugitives being brought to account, many of them after years on the run in Spain.” Andy Cooke-Welling, Head of the NCA’s International Crime Bureau, said: “The arrest of Dominic McInally is the result of years of investigation by the NCA, Merseyside Police and our Spanish partners. “It should be clear to those attempting to flee from UK justice that they

can never rest easy.” “The NCA works globally to fight serious and organised crime, and to protect the UK public from the violence and exploitation that that results from the class A drugs trade.” Mick Duthie, Crimestoppers charity Director of Operations, said: “I commend the work of our partners, the National Crime Agency and the Spanish Police, for this latest arrest and would remind people to visit the Crimestoppers website, view those fugitives still on the run and tell our charity where they are. “We promise that you will remain 100 per cent anonymous. Always. We have kept this promise for over 32 years.”

“I’m cutting down for this show and will have a small crew and just two keyboards, a sampler, my Theramin, an iPhone that I play, assorted guitars and hand drums and cow bells so there will be plenty of music in the show,” he explained. Bill Bailey gives the air of being slightly distracted all of the time, but is a very clever and well-read individual who enjoys his life and finds stand up shows such as Larks in Transit really good fun as it is updated as things happen. Why Larks in Transit? “I love birds so it could be about lots of birds in an old van or it could be the old fashioned word for fun whilst on a journey. “It’s really all about my life on the road and

Yes he does smoke a pipe occasionally but likes to have a prop pipe on stage as it “makes me look intelligent” he chuckled.

They were arrested for falsifying documents for a Serbian tourist who wanted to make the EU his home, and take advantage of the benefits that the EU offers its residents. The four arrested involved the Serbian tourist, a Spanish woman of Moroccan descent, a businessman and a lawyer. According to the police, suspicion of fraudulent activity was raised by the immigration department of Cadiz on the Costa

del Sol, when they realised that all the necessary documentation and paperwork to obtain residency were falsified. They were able to demonstrate that the Spanish woman, who provided false documentation to verify that she was the Serbian’s partner, was lying about the partnership. It also turned out that the businessman involved (from Bahia de Cadiz) had a vested interest to help the Serbian become a Spanish resident, and therefore also engaged in fraudulent activities to help secure permanent residency.

THE Andalucia Performing Arts Society (TAPAS) members and their guests had a fabulous time at their charity Pancake Fun Day held at Cartama Estacion. After feasting on a huge range of different types of pancakes and varied fillings washed down with afternoon tea, or a glass of wine, the pancake games began in earnest. “We pulled out the culinary stops for this event,” said TAPAS Chair Angela Stopforth, who went on to add “we were especially delighted with the vegan and gluten-free pancakes we made which were a real hit, so everyone could participate and enjoy this fantastic event.” No pancakes were harmed during the proceedings, although two were lost in the games - one into the pool and one on the kitchen roof!

VIOLENT CHILD A 15-YEAR-OLD boy was recently arrested in Malaga for allegedly attacking his mother with scissors after she refused to give him money to buy video games. He knocked down the door of the room where his parents were and hit the woman with several punches with the intention of obtaining her credit card. However, it was not the first time that the son had attacked them and they actually feared for their safety so much that they had installed a latch on the door of the bedroom, the same door that the child ended up breaking down when he attacked his mother with scissors to buy video games. The events took place in the Puerto de la Torre area of Malaga City. When Local Police officers arrived at the house the child was still there. Officers discovered that he was a tall young man with a knowledge of martial arts, who is also undertaking psychiatric treatment, but had stopped taking his treatment as the pills were making him drowsy.

TWO people were poisoned by smoke inhalation during a room fire in a hotel in Benalmadena on Sunday, according to emergency services. The fire began at 12.15pm when several witnesses raised the alarm having seen smoke and flames coming out of one of the rooms on the top

PARROT CULL AT the end of last year, the Provincial Council of Malaga demanded clear guidelines on how to address the control of the growing populations of Argentine parrots in Malaga. As a response, the technicians proposed the use of air guns by ‘expert shooters’ as the main tool for dealing with the plague. The personnel in charge must have the authorisation for the use and transport of the rifles, and the killed specimens must be deposited in a specific place for their incineration. The preferred period will be mating season, when the birds look for nests and couple, between January and May. The locations for shooting will preferably be the parks where they have gathered in

CLEAR GUIDELINES: The preferred period will be mating season.

OFFICERS of the National Police have arrested a 32-year-old Spanish man in Malaga, who is the head of a car sales company, for selling a second-hand vehicle of which he had allegedly altered the odometer by more than 100,000 kms to make it look like it had travelled less distance indicating less wear and tear. The investigation was initiated following the complaint of a woman reporting that she had been the victim of a hoax in the purchase of a second-hand vehi-

previous seasons and in the areas of communal roosts. “To carry out the action they will be cordoned off and temporarily closed to the public,” cites the ruling document. In each population the preferred places to carry them out will be studied, but always at points where the influx of people can be regulated. Given the mobility of the parrots there will have to be a good coordination between the neighbouring towns to act simultaneously, so are there are no areas that could serve as refuge. Additionally, the Board also authorises the use of barley cages and nets for capturing parrots on rooftops, parks and concentration zones.

Car con cle, as explained by the National Police in a press release. Apparently, she had bought a car of which the odometer displayed 72,500 kms, however, just months after buying it, it broke down and she took it to be re-

paired. At the garage, they informed her that because of the type of malfunction the car had suffered it was possible that her vehicle had travelled more kilometres than those shown on the odometer. After several inquiries to clarify the facts and detain the person in charge, the investigators verified that the vehicle’s odometer had been manipulated by reducing its kilometres by more than 100,000, and arrested the man for his alleged involvement in a crime of fraud.

W men’s Day

A day to celebrate womanhood, to recognise achievements and to rally for change WOMEN around the globe will mark International Women’s Day this coming Sunday March 8. It is an occasion to celebrate womanhood and to recognise and remember women’s achievements and contribution to society, but also to rally for change and for women’s voices to be heard in the call for greater rights and equality. In the days running up to March 8 and on the day itself associations, movements and authorities in many corners of the world organise events ranging from marches, demonstrations and protests to conferences, fun runs and festivals, or women simply come together in a spirit of sisterhood.

Small actions can have big impacts in making this vision a reality.

What an amazing eye opener it was.” But the seed was sewn and Jackie was soon hooked, going on to organise her own meeting, which was attended by 54 women. “I soon realised we had to have a more organised approach and the business was born. Given that many business women are squeezed at either end of the day with family commitments, lunchtime meetings proved to be the most convenient time of day for many, hence the name 12.30,” explained Jackie, adding: “Being able to see the synergies and connect businesswomen, to see the ‘eureka!’ moment that 1230 TWC training and networking provides as their businesses grow, is so rewarding; I am exceptionally fortunate to be in a business that I just love.”

BREXIT BRIEF

AS Britain enters into a round of negotiations with the European Union over Withdrawal, British International Trade Secretary Liz Truss has made a couple of statements concerning the future with the EU deal and the USA. Firstly she has made it clear that Britain is not going to let down its fishermen by entering into any deal which reduces their rights but this appears to be something of a ‘red herring.’ Fishing quotas were issued years ago for conservation purposes to AN unexpected side to the final Withdrawal negotiations over Brexit could be the loss of major works of art held in British galleries and museums.

tural object that may be part of the final deal would be the return of the Elgin Marbles by the British Museum to Greece where they could be displayed close to the Acropolis in Athens from where they

were removed in the early 1800s. The negotiations aren’t just about money and trade deals and should the EU press to include this provision, some quite significant works of historical interest may be returned to where they were taken from.

ensure that the majority of fish in European waters were not overfished in order to ensure their sustainability. By a strange quirk of British law, there is no requirement that the fishing in British waters is actually undertaken by British fishermen and in actual fact many ‘canny’ quota holders sold their rights to foreign consortiums soon after. In some cases they sold British boats to foreign owners making them British trawlers and in others they simply sold the rights to fish, so many of the larger fleets fishing in British waters are owned by Dutch, Icelandic or Spanish groups. Secondly, Ms Truss has said that Britain will be prepared to walk away from a deal with the USA if it can’t get the deal that it wants as although there is a huge potential to work with America, it will not be with any diminishing of food hygiene standards nor at the expense of the National Health Service. So now there is a possibility of two no deals.

The rescued Belgian appeared happy. THE Marbella Fire Brigade was called out alongside the Guardia Civil Mountain Rescue Team when a report came in that a hiker had got into difficulties after climbing La Concha Mountain. It transpired that a Belgian man had lost his way whilst trying to find the route back to Istan and had called for help. Those involved in the rescue in the area of Monchalban had to tackle some sections by rappelling. When they eventually found the man, he was uninjured and escorted to safety.

SERVING THE PEOPLE: Medical workers protest.

Hospital protest A FORMAL protest organised by local medical unions and staff (which was attended by the deputy mayor of La Linea de la Concepcion) was held outside of the La Linea Hospital which is the newest in the area and takes in patients from the Campo de Gibraltar. The protestors demanded that the governance

of the hospital be removed from the Andalucia Health Authority and be managed as a separate institution in order to better serve the people that it was built to look after. In addition, they called for the immediate dismissal of the current manager responsible for the area as they believe that they were not kept informed of developments

especially with regards to the granting of autonomy. Whilst this is an almost brand new hospital, which the Junta de Andalucia promoted as being important in the run up to the election, it is now suffering from financial neglect meaning a shortage of professional staff and a management unable to make decisions they claimed.

VERDE PLAN: Mayor Mula inspected the work on the bridge.

VERTICAL GARDENS

FUENGIROLA is going green in more ways than one and its latest project is the Fuengirola Verde Plan which aims to make the town a nicer place to live in and visit thanks to the introduction of plants and flowers where previously none existed. The first step in this dream is for the production and installation of a vertical garden over the bridge on the Arroyo Real in Los Boliches with a further two to be added later in the year. When the concept was first discussed, the mayor Ana Mula invited the Department of Urban Ecology to come up with concepts and create attractive areas with flowers where

previously there were none. This was part of the election platform that Mayor Mula had unveiled at the last local elections and work started on this project in June of last year to plan the project and then create 64 metres of tubing suitable to take the planting and to install a working irrigation system on this bridge alone. Currently the actual pipes can be seen but within about three weeks, the plants chosen which include gitanillas, geranios, cintas, tradescantia morada y manto de virgin will overgrow the sides and hide the pipes. Next to enjoy this beautification will be the bridge at Los Pacos and Calle Juan Breva.

School of Rock ALTHOUGH Jack Black won’t be coming to Fuengirola tomorrow Friday March 6, the council has arranged for another School of Rock workshop to take place which is aimed at youngsters aged from four to 12 with admission costing €10.

This isn’t just an introduction to rock music in anticipation of the forthcoming Heavy Metal Festival to be held in the town on August 14 and 15, but is intended to promote new values through music

which include teamwork, new technology and gender equality as rock music is one area where women have become very important. The town has become the main stage for rock music in the Costa del Sol, rivalling Starlite in Marbella so this is an ideal opportunity for youngsters to understand the history of rock, structure of a band, stage presentation and interaction with an audience and as so much of the most popular rock comes from America and the UK, the audience may see yet another reason to learn English.

Enduring lengthy works not easy RESIDENTS in Calle Malaga in Marbella have endured five months of road works reportedly costing €1 million and have turned to the media to complain. Their main argument is that there seems to be a lack of communications about what is happening and no obvious plans to ensure that residents can access their properties safely with so much of the road having been excavated. A question to the councillor in charge of the works concerning the laying of pipes to allow residents to be connected to natural gas resulted in the response that this was not being considered as no-one had asked for it to be done. In the event that any company wants to install pipes to take the gas, then it would be up to them to dig up the road again and install the pipes. The recent explosion of a gas bottle and subsequent fire in Marbella may however concentrate resident’s minds on the benefit of natural gas.

Starlite update ALL is in place for the Starlite Festival to return to the open air stage in the Nagüeles Quarry above Marbella later this year. The council has agreed to give the organisers access with effect from May 15 until September 30 to allow for the construction and removal of all of the stages and equipment and the series of concerts which will run from July 2 until August 29. It has been confirmed that despite some delays, the sum of €124,961 has been paid to the council in respect of the 2019 rental and this year as there will be more dates involved, the amount due has increased to €157,343. The council is now urging the Starlite organisers to make greater reference to Marbella in their advertising. Names announced so far include Il Divo, Bonnie Tyler, Simple Minds, Lionel Richie, Nile Rogers and Chic.

First cocktail competition IF you enjoy a drink, then the place to visit will be the Adolfo Suárez Con-

gress Centre in Marbella which on Tuesday March 10 will host the fourth An-

nual Import Montes Fair from 10am to 7pm. Import Montes was founded in 1991 as a distributor of different beverages (many of them of an alcoholic nature) with much focus on beer but this year, they will be running their first cocktail competition. The Costa del Sol has a reputation for the number of bartenders who are expert mixologists and some of the best will be taking part on Tuesday to show off their expertise in the company of many of their contemporaries. There will be a wide selection of drinks to try and demonstrations by experienced professionals as well as representatives of a number of distributors and manufacturers.

THREE men were injure d when a gas bottle exploded in a Marbella apartment in the early hours of the morning of Tuesday March 3 which caused a fire and damaged a number of vehicles on the road. At this stage it is not known what caused the canister to explode, but the building was damaged and inhabitants in adjoining ones were initially evacuated whilst fire brigade officers accompanied by Local Police and Public and Health officials made sure it was safe to return. Of the three injured men, one aged 42 was treated at the scene, an 80-year-old was taken to the Costa del Sol hospital and the third aged 49 was rushed to a hospital in Malaga for treatment. The explosion took place on Calle San Antonio which is in the Divina Pastora district of Marbella.

Explosion and Fire First stone laid

BADLY DAMAGED: The scene of the explosion.

WORK has now formally started on the renovation and rebuilding of the emblematic La Fonda building in Marbella Old Town with Mayor Ángeles Muñoz laying the first stone. The new hotel which will replace the derelict building will house 20 suites and rooms and will also offer what promises to be an exceptional restaurant with the intention of returning to its former position of national and international renown. As it is sited in an area of historic heritage, the design and all of the plans had to be in keeping with the local area as well as be relevant and

respectful to the La Fonda of the past, which means that the finished property should be a major attraction. Construction is likely to take some 18 months with a budget of €7.5 million, of which €3 million will be spent on restoration of the main facades and structural elements with the balance going on interior work and furnishing. This is intended to be a high quality renovation, designed by a successful firm of architects with a luxurious internal finish so that the hotel will attract visitors from afar whilst the restaurant will also become a gastronomic hub for local residents.

Gibraltar NEWS Negotiations to include Gibraltar by John Smith

From Gibraltar to the Falkland Islands

PLEASED: Chief Minister Fabian Picardo. swer the statement of the EU at the time of the conclusion of the Withdrawal Agreement. Chief Minister of Gibraltar Fabian Picardo said: “I am very pleased to see confirmation today that the UK Negotiating Mandate includes Gibraltar, exactly as we had agreed with the United Kingdom and as the UK’s Permanent Representative in Brussels set out in November 2018 when the EU first suggested it would seek to exclude us from any future agreement.

“I look forward to the start of the negotiations and to the work we want to do to improve our relationships with the EU, despite our leaving legal membership of it, and in particular to improving our relationship with Spain for the benefit of the people who live and work on both sides of the frontier.” It should be noted however that whilst this may be the intention of the UK government, there is no cast iron guarantee the EU negotiators will accept this position.

IT’S quite a journey from Gibraltar to the Falkland Islands, but this is the journey that Minister for Justice and Equality Samantha Sacramento took so that she could attend the Commonwealth Women’s Parliamentarian Association conference in Falkland’s capital, Stanley. Whilst there, she joined in the World Thinking Day celebrations with the local

guides as Guides Ambassador in Gibraltar and took the opportunity to meet the Rainbows, Brownies, Senior Section and Leaders on that day. The Minister spoke to the Rainbows and Brownies about Gibraltar and presented them with Rock of Gibraltar pin badges and a framed set of Gibraltar stamps for the Chief Guide.

Politician remembered THE Gibraltar government has formally named the new seafront promenade linking Camp Bay with Little Bay, west of Europa Pool, the Juan Carlos Perez Promenade, after much loved former minister, politician and GSLP Party Chairman, Juan Carlos Perez who died last year.

Sir Lindsay Hoyle next Chancellor of the University of Gibraltar THE Gibraltar Minister for Education, Gilbert Licudi QC, has appointed Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP (Speaker of the UK House of Commons) as the new Chancellor of the University of Gibraltar succeeding Lord Luce who held the position since 2015. Sir Lindsay Hoyle said he is “honoured beyond belief” at being appointed Chancellor (an unpaid position) as the small, narrow peninsula in the southern tip of Europe had “always held a special place in my heart. “To become Chancellor of this magnificent university in a place I have an acute interest in is a privilege I will treasure for many years to come,” he said.

THE Gibraltar government quickly welcomed the news that the UK has confirmed that its position on the mandate to negotiate a future relationship with the EU will include Gibraltar. This is contrary to the position set out in the negotiating guidelines issued by the EU to the effect that no future agreement between the EU and the UK will apply to Gibraltar. The UK’s mandate issued on February 27 specifically states, at paragraph 11 ‘The government will act in these negotiations on behalf of all the territories for whose international relations the UK is responsible. In negotiating the future relationship between these territories and the EU, the UK government will seek outcomes which support the territories’ security and economic interests and which reflect their unique characteristics.’ This position confirms what was set out in writing by Sir Tim Barrow in November 2018, as the Permanent Representative to the EU for the United Kingdom government, in an-

THINKING DAY: Minister Sacramento in the red jacket.

Keri Scott, Senior Education Advisor, Sir Lindsay Hoyle and Gilbert Licudi “Not only have I, and my father Doug, had a long association with Gibraltar, but it is one of the UK’s overseas territories to which we owe a great duty of care. “I want to reinvigorate our relationships with the overseas territories

and some of Britain’s most remote outposts - to show them how important they are to us in Westminster. “I can’t wait to visit Gibraltar again - and to accept this huge honour of becoming its next University Chancellor.” Sir Lindsay is a well-recognised figure in Gibraltar since the mid1990s when he first stopped at the Rock on honeymoon and, at his father Lord Hoyle’s request, met with local political figures. He has a history of defending the interests of Gibraltarians and will continue to do so where possible now he is Speaker working with the CPA and UK Overseas Territories Group.

Entrepreneur’s relief

Coronavirus affects economy ALTHOUGH there was a slowdown in growth of countries in the Eu­ rozone, there is no doubt that the panic over the Coronavirus is go­ ing to hit the economies of Eu­ rope even harder. To some extent there is an ele­ ment of panic as the projected deaths from this virus are around 1 per cent more than for normal flu but it does appear that the main difference is that fatalities occur at any age, whilst flu tends particularly to afflict the very young and old. The first obvious losers in this

By John Smith current situation are the airlines with fewer people wanting to travel and some airline staff re­ luctant to be aboard flights travel­ ling to and from infected areas. Exhibitions which attract inter­ national visitors are another prob­ lematic area as was seen with the cancellation of the massive Mobile Phone show in Madrid and there is even talk now of cancelling the Tokyo Olympic Games which would be the first time ever ex­ cept when there was a war. Stock markets are taking a plunge

but some canny investors are buy­ ing whilst shares are low in the ex­ pectation that this medical problem will be resolved and then markets will recover quite quickly. Other business groups suffering a r e t h o s e w h o i m p o r t c o m p o­ nents from the Far East and China in particular as if their suppliers are not running at normal capaci­ ty then they will be unable to manufacture mobile phones or computers. Those making surgical masks however are seeing their sales leap.

NO mention has previously been made of scrapping entre­ preneur’s relief which is where owners of small and medium sized businesses only pay 10 per cent rather than 20 per cent capital gains tax when they sell their business. It was to encourage start­ups and this reduction applied to any company sold for less than £10 (€12) million but now as it has come to light that last year the Exchequer lost £2.7 (€3.2) billion from this option, there are fears it will be removed in the next budget.

AGM approval needed? Dettol I applied for the building permit from my town hall to change a window to a door. I received the permit and posted it on the wall outside. I had previously asked the president and the vice president if this change would be possible. They agreed and I have an email from them saying so. We now have a new president and we also have a new administration office for the community. They say that if I don’t voluntarily put the window back that they will take me to court. They say the owners of the community did not give their permission. So I presume the former president didn’t put it into the AGM. What is your view? K W (Costa del Sol)

The Hori­ zontal Law specifies that this YOU AND THE type of modification LAW IN SPAIN of an exterior ele­ ment requires the approval of the AGM. Your neighbours may be affected by the change. Your former president did not seem aware of this. In your case I would ask the new administration if they would accept an AGM approval now, after the fact. Try to stay out of court.

No VAT increase THE Spanish Minister of Fi­ nance María Jesús Montero has made it clear that at this stage, the government has no plans to increase IVA (VAT) to 23 per cent as has been feared.

According to her, a pro­ gressive government should not increase a tax that hits everyone no matter how poor they may be and should look for selective tar­ geted tax increases although

she hasn’t completely ruled out a review of IVA in the fu­ ture. Tobacco and gambling are however likely to see some increases to combat addic­ tion.

USD strengthened by coronavirus fears ASK THE EXPERT Peter Loveday

Pound GBP/EUR: Steady at €1.18 GBP/USD: Down from $1.30 to $1.29 The pound has traded in a wide range over the past four weeks, most­ ly as a result of renewed uncertainty surrounding Brexit. This was mostly centred on con­ cerns that trade negotiations between the UK and EU are likely to be chal­ lenging due to the conflicting goals of both sides. While the EU is pushing for the UK to maintain alignment in order to en­ sure a ‘level playing field,’ Boris John­ son has been clear that the UK will not abide by any EU regulations from next year. These concerns over Brexit proved to be a major drag on GBP ex­ change rates in February, preventing the pound from benefiting from some

CURRENCY NEWS: Brexit jitters undermine the pound. solid UK economic data published through the month. Despite the Brexit gloom, Sterling was still able to find fleeting support in mid­February following a Cabinet reshuffle. This saw Sajid Javid resign as Chancellor and be replaced by Rishi Sunak, who it’s hoped will be more amenable to the PM’s ambitious spending plans. Looking ahead to March, the pound is likely to become increasingly sensi­ tive to Brexit developments as UK­EU

trade talks officially get underway. Ex­ pect this to inject fresh volatility into Sterling if negotiations prove difficult. GBP investors will also be focused on the publication of the UK govern­ ment’s Budget on March 11, with the pound poised to surge if the new Chancellor signals a willingness to loosen the purse strings. Euro EUR/GBP: Steady at £0.84 EUR/USD: Down from $1.10 to $1.09

The euro struggled in February as investors grew increasingly concerned about the health of the Eurozone economy. Much of the concern has been fo­ cused around Germany, which (in ad­ dition to some gloomy manufacturing figures) now faces increased political uncertainty following the shock resig­ nation of Angela Merkel’s heir appar­ ent, Annegret Kramp­Karrenbauer as leader of the ruling CDU party. Further limiting the appeal of the single currency was the serious coron­ avirus outbreak in Italy, which spurred fears the country’s already weak econ­ omy could slip into a recession this year. Going forward, the attention of EUR investors is likely to be split be­ tween the start of UK­EU trade negoti­ ations and Eurozone data as they look for any signs that the Eurozone’s re­ cent slowdown may be bottoming out. US Dollar USD/GBP: Up from £0.76 to £0.77 USD/EUR: Up from €0.90 to €0.91 The US dollar climbed steadily high­ er through much of February as grow­ ing panic over the Coronavirus crisis

bolstered demand for the safe­haven currency. As the outbreak spreads, sparking fears of a pandemic, investors have grown increasingly nervous about the potential impact on the global econo­ my, fuelling demand for the ‘green­ back.’ However, the US dollar has not been completely immune to the con­ cerns surrounding the Coronavirus, with USD exchange rates weakening in late February amid speculation the spread of the disease could prompt a rate cut from the Federal Reserve. A renewed focus on US politics is likely to drive the US dollar in the com­ ing weeks as we are likely to see a clear frontrunner emerge in the De­ mocratic presidential primaries.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

FEATURE

I give it 3 years max!

IN a past life, when this ol’ boy was riding the crest, I would often enjoy showing guests around my brand new Berkshire home. Many famous folk came to visit in those far off heady ‘60’s’ days and on one occasion I was entertaining an extremely well known musician and his new fiancée. He was obviously besotted with his partner, a beautiful, ambitious and well-travelled young lady who, although relatively unknown at the time, in the next few years would become one of biggest stars on the planet. The pop musician, a lovely lad who hailed from a small town in the north of England, had shot to stardom almost ‘overnight’ and, although quite charming, was not at all street wise and still somewhat naïve in the ways of the world. During the ‘tour’ I showed them one of the somewhat lavish en suite bathrooms. Peering around his eyes alighted on the toilet bowl. ‘Ee Leapy’ he exclaimed. ‘What’s all that blue stuff in the water?’ How I replied to this innocent and innocuous enquiry is not important. What was important was the look of utter

MISGIVINGS: When Price Harry indicated that his wife could do ‘voice overs.’ disdain that flitted very briefly across the features of his fiancée. Witnessing her reaction I realised that their romance was doomed. Compatibility is at the very core of a loving relationship and although this incident was not that important in itself, it was extremely significant if it actually reflected throughout the rest of their co-existence. Sure enough, a short while later the affair was over.

The lady abandoned her broken hearted ‘stepping stone’ and went on to almost legendary stardom. And you know something, I experienced exactly the same misgiving when I heard Prince Harry enthusiastically inform the head of Walt Disney that his wife could do ‘voice overs.’ In the main voice overs in the acting profession are about one step up from a ‘walk on.’ Although it’s possible for recognisable

voices to earn quite a substantial income from this branch of the entertainment industry, participants don’t exactly ever find themselves on the red carpet! You certainly don’t take the opportunity to very publicly inform one of the biggest tycoons of the film industry that your (TV star!) wife does voice overs! I can imagine the grimace of horrified embarrassment on Meghan’s face from here! To me this conveyed exactly the same message as did the bathroom incident I witnessed all those years ago - incompatibility. And the end result will be exactly the same. In short, this self-centered woman will be ready to move on from her Canadian stopover and drag poor old Harry down to California’s Glitter Town, where he’ll be used as her golden ticket to the ‘A’ list chocolate factory. As love’s young dream begins to fade and their incompatibilities begin to tear them apart, this pathetically naïve young man will eventually become so fed up and disillusioned he will either turn to drink, have a nervous breakdown or come running back to Granny! I give it three years max. Keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

PIGS WILL FLY? MAYBE NO LONGER! NORA JOHNSON BREAKING VIEWS Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

DID you catch the recent news that frightened flyers are set to lose their ‘emotional support’ animals? American airliner cabins could soon be free of ducks, pigs and miniature horses under government proposals to crack down on passengers flying with ‘emotional support’ animals. Passengers have tried to board aircraft with snakes, spiders, gliding possums and squirrels. These incidents have sometimes caused delays when the crew refuse entry to an animal. “The days of Noah’s Ark in the air are hopefully coming to an end,” a member of a flight attendants union reported optimistically. Hang on! What about my ‘emotional support’ silver-back mountain gorilla? Seriously, though, I recall the experience of an acquaintance who, back in the day, flew in a Twin

Otter to Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea. There were goats on board and people smoking. Luckily there was no co-pilot so he was able to persuade the Captain to give him the right hand seat. Aware that sometimes passengers tried to bring bigger livestock on board, he enjoyed the view from the cockpit, aware of the sound of chaos behind. Frankly, under no circumstances should animals (except guide dogs) be in the same area as passengers on any airline. (This should also apply to cruise ship restaurants where animals - umm, dogs, not pigs! - have been spotted.) If people can’t fly without the support of some kind of animal, then find some alternative means of transport! I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: it’d take more than an ‘emotional support’ animal to calm me down on any Boeing 737Max flight. And should anyone ever sit next to me with

PIGS: Can they really help frightened flyers?

an ‘emotional support’ spider, they’ll quickly find out who needs the most emotional support... Well, common sense makes news! And about time. Is this the first ray of sunshine in a world seemingly going crazy? Let’s hope so, but I’m not holding my breath. Finally, Crufts is blaming Brexit for fewer ‘foreign mutts’ participating in this year’s annual dog show. Is this Rexit?

THE PRESENT MOMENT

Sponsored by Golden Leaves For more information about the sponsors go to www.goldenleavesinternational.com

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. 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. is for guidance only, and should notneeds be takencloser as legal Spain This has information around two million donors in total, but toadvice. four million. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

ECKHART TOLLE: The present offers something different.

DAVID WORBOYS ECKHART TOLLE’S speeches are rich in both wisdom and humour. He also writes and speaks the most beautiful English. In his bestselling book, ‘The Power of Now,’ he explains how the past has never existed and the future never will exist. Only the present moment has ever existed and will ever exist. When I met friends for tapas yesterday I ordered a bottle of Rueda. The action took place in the present moment. Today that action no longer exists but as a memory. Tomorrow I plan to go to Cadiz to explore the ancient city. The experience will never happen until the future becomes the present moment. Until then it exists only as an anticipation - which may never materialise. Our past and future are, of course, nothing but thoughts. The reason this is important to be recognised, argues Eckhart in his book, is that these thoughts distract us from the peace and the contentedness of the present moment. It is true that there is pleasure in reminiscing over happier times, but most frequently we are dwelling on negative memories of the past and these leave us in an unhappy state because they lead to nostalgia, regret or remorse. Nostalgia - Oh, why can’t I be 25 again? It was so wonderful living in Austria. Why did Sam and I ever split up? Regret - I should have learned the

piano. Why did I never go to Chile or visit New Zealand? I wish I had looked after my health better. Remorse - My parents did so much for me, but why was I so impatient with them? I should not have cheated that salesman out of his commission. Why have I always been so lazy? Similarly, there is pleasure in looking forward to a holiday, a reunion or an experience. Until the present moment the activity does not exist and may never happen. Until it does, it consists of hopes and dreams. Again, it is more likely that we are worried about negative thoughts of the future. What can go wrong? The thoughts could result in disappointment, unease or panic. Disappointment - Supposing I miss the flight, can’t find his house or the concert is cancelled? Have I left it too late to learn Italian? Unease - She must have missed the bus. It’s not very safe in that part of the city. The boss is not pleased with my performance. My job could be at risk. Panic - There’s only three weeks left and I have not prepared for the exam. This pain in my chest could be really serious. The message from Eckhart Tolle is that the present offers something different. If we can clear our minds of continuous compulsive thought and focus on where we are now, embracing the wonders of nature and counting our blessings, we should be more at peace within ourselves. In this way we should gain the most from life.

Has this happened to you before? MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man LAST year for my birthday I was very kindly given some gift cards for my favourite large store El Corte Ingles. As I didn’t really need to buy anything immediately I put them away and then when I decided to have a little shop I took them out and went off to treat myself. I had a look round, found a few bits and went off to pay for them. I had seven of these gift cards but didn’t actually know how much they were for so I asked the assistant to check for me. She swiped them and told me four didn’t work. So I asked why? And she said it was to do with the magnetic strip and asked if they had been in my pocket. Well of course they had been in my pocket. This was now becoming reminiscent of my other nightmare scenario of getting my hotel key card then going to my room which is located about 12 miles from reception and finding that my key card won’t work. No matter how slowly I swipe it or

how fast I try and insert it in and out of the cavity provided, the light will not turn green. I, of course, do all the checks like making sure it’s the right room number before trekking back to reception, dragging my suitcase don’t forget, and asking for a new key. By now there is a different person at the desk who decides that she needs to see my ID again before she can give me a new key. I’m told not to put it in my pocket near my credit cards or telephone! Back to the store and I am now being told the same thing by the sales assistant. OK, no problem, just re-activate the cards. No, you have to go to customer services and get it sorted. Of course, there is a massive queue but eventually get it sorted. But what I did do was get them all merged so I only had one card. The point is if they know what causes the problem and it’s happening all day every day, as I was told by the hotel and the store, why don’t they fix it? It can’t be that difficult surely in this day and age when everybody has a mobile phone and credit cards. I’d love to know how many of you this has happened to.

What cost kindness..? GAVIN LAMBE-MURPHY RECENTLY I was a guest on Talk Radio Europe, to discuss bullying and online trolling. The sudden death of TV personality Caroline Flack, was enough for people to sit up and take notice of a situation that has been out of control for quite some time. For years, I’ve been on the receiving end of online trolls, as well as certain mainstream journalists, who felt it was okay to write negative, and sometimes very personal things about me. People I have never met, with such serious dislike for me. How can it be that someone can bother you so much, having never met them in the real world? To read these articles online, can bring you down. Especially when complete lies appear, and others can comment as they see fit. So, for years I have opted to ignore it all, even when people made it their

business to draw my attention to the hatred out there. In the days following the radio interview, I saw many people change their social media profiles to include a ‘Be kind’ logo or message. While all awareness is good, it made me think, we need kindness much closer to home, than online. Start by being kind to those we encounter on a daily basis. Be kind to the man you pass on the street, smile. Be kind by simply holding a door for someone. Be kind by biting your tongue, when someone does something to annoy you. We never know what’s going on in anyone’s life, so why add to the stress? As the week unfolded, I found myself lunching at the Marbella Club Hotel, a place that’s been a firm favourite for many years. I was due to meet a lady who wanted to ask my advice on curating a serious art collection. She arrived, and let’s say, was noticed by the other diners, who turned as she walked through the room. Head-to-toe in Hermes, with enough sparkle to make Harry Winston jealous, on paper she was typically Marbella.

GAVIN LAMBE-MURPHY: Start by being kind to those we encounter on a daily basis. While she wanted to collect art, it was clear she already collected compliments. However, within moments of saying hello, I realised that there was a prob-

lem. Something that I was unable to handle. As the waiter approached the table, she was blatantly rude towards him. Cold, dismissive and snobbish. Why do certain types of people feel it’s okay to treat waiters, or anyone, in such a way? As if by putting them down, they’re building themselves up? I watched for as long as I could bare, as she spoke at the charming, smiling waiter. Her tone, as if he’d asked if her Birkin was real! After the first course of lunch was complete, I whispered across the table “this isn’t going to work.” Bewildered, coldly she asked what I was talking about, her rudeness now directed at me. Calling for the bill, I explained that I couldn’t stand to remain in her company, and how I wouldn’t feel right about helping her source an art collection. Yes, my words were harsh and final, but I felt that sometimes there are situations, where one must be less kind to certain people, in order to offer kindness to those who deserve it most. Even if that kindness costs you a tidy commission fee.

‘Flag of Andalucia’ Award to the Consular Corps of Malaga CONSULAR MATTERS FEBRUARY 28 is the official celebration of the Day of Andalucia, and this year also marks the 40th anniversary of the Andalucian Autonomy, as part of the festive celebrations, every year awards are given by the Andalucian Parliament in recognition to personalities and groups within the province for their admirable work and contribution to the dynamics, development and general enrichment of Malaga and regions. This year, the Flag of Andalucia to the Projection of the Province has been awarded to the Malaga Consular Corps for its contribution to international relations of Malaga City, fundamental for its projection and support to the resident international

community in the province. The Consular Corps of Malaga, an institution which I am honoured to belong to, in my position as Consul of Denmark for Andalucia and Extremadura, represents 43 countries in Malaga, creates consulates in Malaga on a successful and extensive projection level. Over the years, issues like security, climate, tourism, profitable investments and the friendliness of its people have been the main attractions of Malaga to foreigners. Some Consulates have been present in Malaga for centuries, such as the Danish Consulate that was inaugurated in 1641, and in later years came the German, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom Consulates. As early as the 19th century, 21 Consulates or Vice-Consulates were registered in Malaga; and increased in numbers when American nations were added. The historical origins of Andalucian self-government, go

back to the revolutionary uprising in Cadiz, in the 19th century, when greater democracy and government decentralisation were demanded. And as early as in the 20th century, highlights of the political profile of Blas Infante, ‘Father of the Andalucian Land’ are found, who, along with members of several Andalucian Centres, signed in 1919, the Andalucian Manifesto of Cordoba that described Andalucia as a national reality. A Notary by profession, Blas Infante was also a great thinker, politician, writer, historian and musicologist, who recovered the original green and white Andalucian flag, designed the Andalucian coat of arms, and composed the lyrics of the Andalucian anthem, before being shot in 1936. The first political steps that would lead to the current Andalucian self-government began only after the death of Francisco Franco, with the start

ANDALUCIA DAY: This year marks the 40th anniversary of autonomy. of the democratic transition period. Thus, subject to the pressures of the citizens, who were very active in all the provincial capitals, convened by the Parliamentarian Assembly, to demand self-government, on February 28, 1980 the Autonomous Referendum was held with triumphant results that was completed with the approval of the

Statute of Autonomy, which is the basis of law that regulates the management and powers of the Andalucian Parliament and its government. The Flags of Andalucia award ceremony was held on Tuesday, February 25, 2020 at the Faculty of Social and Work Studies of the University of Malaga, in the Teatinos extended Campus.

TIME OUT Women’s wit

YOUR STARS

“I don’t go by the rule book. I lead from the heart, not the head” - Princess Diana

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A feeling that you should totally commit yourself to something or someone this week should be avoided. You will come up against a brick wall if a situation is forced. Time is all that is required to see things change for the better.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) There may not be enough time to do everything you want, so why can't you just reorganise your life so there is? Not as easy as it sounds, Pisces, unless you learn the magic word: no. Know your limits and stick to them.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Extra pressures at work leave you feeling less than energetic. Check on your health and don't go overboard with the physical activities. Set out to become more active, socially, and maximise on relaxation. With an eye to the summer and holidays, start planning a getaway. Who will you take with you?

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Social activities are likely to change at the last minute. If energy levels are not as high as normal, use this week for planning. With holidays in mind, the summer seems far away but maybe a weekend trip will fill the gap. Spending time with an old friend reminds you of how things used to be.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Although health should be good, energy may be a little low. A bit of a mystery surrounds a close friend and your opinion may be sought. Hold fire until all the facts are known and you are sure a person has been honest with you because someone may try to keep you in the dark to get the right answer. .

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) The temptation to run round like a headless chicken is strong this week. There seem to be so many demands on your time that things become confusing. Be sure you are getting enough rest because this time of the year can be fraught for you.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) A situation could become complicated if you do not plan

ahead. With a little thought and planning, matters can be kept simple which is always desirable. Be choosy about the company you keep because a bad character could taint by association.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) A lost cause tries to demand your attention, but you must try to see the situation for what it is. Sentimentality should not come into business or be allowed to upset your home life. What is past should remain so, do not torture yourself. Bring your mind and spirits up by looking forward to summer holidays.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Ruts are awful things to get into but even more difficult to get out of. Being cosy is one thing, but getting bogged down, mentally and physically, is another. All you need is to keep your optimism alive and use your imagination. Perhaps you are spending too much time with an older person or someone who has a dim outlook on life.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Are you suffering from winter blues? Although it is a common feeling at this time of the year, keep optimistic. There is so much to look forward to, in fact, that you are spoilt for choice. Although your social life may be in a bit of a rut, some sparkling moves from you will get things moving. Bring people together for a little party with music and good wine.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Recent events have perhaps left a gap in your social life that is hard to fill. Patience is needed because it would be foolish to rush into something new if your heart is involved. Concentrating on work and other people will alleviate any loneliness. This may seem a short-term solution but it is all that is needed for now.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) A loss of patience with a situation shows this week but is not to your advantage. Whatever you feel, be subtle in your approach. Try to see your position clearly and the result will be that you realise you have more control than you thought. Seeking advice while being honest and telling the full story serves best.

BIRTHDAYS

EIGHTEEN months after Hillary suffered a personal tragedy, she’s throwing herself into her work to try to get over it. Former soldier Gareth Proctor joins her team and finds himself quickly growing to enjoy his new environment. The first cold case he works on is the murder of Andrew Feeley. In 2012, this 21-year-old was found dead in the woods near his home. Andrew was extremely unpopular. He was a drug dealer, pimp and bully. His stepdad was one of the main suspects, as they hated each other and often came to blows. Other suspects include Toby Truman and his mother. Andrew was responsible for getting Toby hooked on drugs. Given Andrew’s criminal background, his murder is thought to be drug-related. But Hillary’s not buying it she knows it’s personal. And a search of the Feeley’s garden turns up some chilling evidence. This is a crime mystery full of well-observed characters, which will have you gripped from the start to the absolutely thrilling conclusion.

DEAR Euro Weekly, Over the weekend I read a story on your Facebook page regarding a lady being removed from the beach in Carvajal as she had her dog with her. I walked from Fuengirola to Carvajal on Sunday and I had my dog on the boulevard on a leash, because she bombs along the beach! I noticed dogs on the beach all the way along. As a resident and dog owner I was under the impression that at certain times of the year, out of season, you can take your dogs on the beach as long as you have their medical details with you. The Carvajal stretch of beach was mostly empty of bathers over the weekend so I really don’t understand why the woman was singled out. Was the officer trying to make some money from a fine as he had not fulfilled his quota that day or does he just have problems with non-Spanish people? If Euro Weekly were to get the update of the times we can have the dogs on the beach so we can wave it in their faces next time that would help greatly. Yours lovingly David Thompson

What I had hoped would be a massive street party and celebration in my area was a complete letdown.

I did see one video of a small party in one little area but I live in a big town and there was nothing of note. Anyway, you guys are very good at getting the community involved and creating some neighbourly spirit. Maybe as well as printing some news you could show the locals how to party.

Luxembourg Becomes First Country to Make All Public Transport Free Free at the point of use would be a better headline. We all pay one way or another of course as the government funds it from general income. But the idea is sound. In Britain, they would need to nationalise transport to be able to do the same of course. Also, in the UK, demand for trains is already beyond capacity so making it free will just make it worse. This is the result of chronic underinvestment in railways in Britain. Public transport in Spain is already remarkably cheap, so the argument for making it free isn’t so strong. Brian Photastic

WITH recent news of the tragic passing of one of Britain’s brightest TV stars, Caroline Flack, the situation will not only be one of grief, but reflection and will again raise the question of how hard can the press push a person all for the sake of a big story? The young TV host’s energy, kindness and huge talent made her one in a million, and a massive favourite with audiences of all ages. Health minister Matt Hancock made an appropriate point when he said: “We must do much more as a society to look out for each other, whether online or off.” Well-known charities like the Samaritans who work hard to prevent suicide have pointed out there are often many complex reasons for why someone chooses to take their own life regardless of their history, social standing or outward personality. Why was the decision made to push forward with the court case Caroline was currently embroiled in? The boyfriend who was involved in an alleged case of gender violence wanted to drop the charges, and her management team had been very clear in saying that she was in a vulnerable state. We must realise that from our close family to friends, and neighbours, we can all positively impact on others’ well-being. Whether it be asking if someone is ok, offering an ear for a chat or a shoulder to cry on, even the smallest act could make an important difference. If there is one thing we can take from this terrible tragedy, it’s remembering to reach out.

This Sunday, March 8 is International Women’s Day. Women make up half of the planet, but millions of them have no voice. Do you think that the young women of today have a better life than the last generation?

5 REASONS YOUR KNEE ISN’T GETTING BETTER BY ESTELLE MITCHELL WWW.THEBODYWORKSCLINIC.COM

PAIN comes limping in Earlier this month I had a gentleman come in complaining of long term (five + years!!) pain in his knee. He’d had two rounds of surgery on the knee with no improvement. During my assessment I found that he had an even longer history of lower back pain and hip pain. So rather than focus on his knee, we focused on his back, I taught him a couple of little tricks and... he walked out with no knee pain. Me, his wife, their friend, we were all in tears at the transformation. All that time, pain and surgery and no one had ever taken the time to listen to him or look at the connections. No one had ever done a thorough, clinical assessment.

KNEE PAIN: A thorough, clinical assessment needs to be carried out. Five steps to success If you’ve been having treatment with no improvement here are my five top reasons why: • It’s not your knee - when

you spoke to someone about your knee pain they never bothered to check all the joints attached to it - feet, ankles, hips, lower back. Problems in these

areas can get referred to the knee. The best treatment in the world isn’t going to help if it’s in the wrong place! • No one told you it needs to

be STRAIGHT - We tend to focus on bending the knee, but if it doesn’t straighten properly it can change how we move our hips and lower back, affect nerve function and muscle strength. • You got an injection - corticosteroids are a fabulous short term / emergency pain relief. They are NOT a treatment. They just hide the pain rather than treat the cause. Long term they can start to damage the tissues inside the joint. • You got an MRI not an assessment - more and more research shows that MRIs don’t actually tell us what is causing pain. All they show is what your joint looks like on in the inside. They don’t tell us how you move, what the other joints are like, when it happens... • You skipped rehab after surgery - so now the other knee hurts because you never got full function back in the first knee. Or your back hurts. Or the same knee still hurts because the other issues weren’t addressed.

Flying high MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED ENJOYING life with a mental illness is a strange thing. You learn to appreciate the ‘good times’ more because you know it could change at any minute. For those of you who are not familiar with the ter m ‘manic episode’ - it’s when someone with bipolar disorder experiences a ‘high’ so to speak. Over the years I have learned to recognise my mania, and to enjoy it now it is being treated with medication - everything just feels exciting, euphoric and at the same time overwhelming. The world all of a sudden seems magnificent. My creative mind is unleashed and my head feels like it’s about to explode with a thousand racing thoughts, but it doesn’t matter, I’M ON TOP OF THE WORLD!!! My words get tangled up when trying to have a conversation, so I get irritated with everyone. I don’t understand why they aren’t going at the same speed as me, why does their day seem grey when mine is so colourful …? I wear red lipstick and my hair is always perfect, I obsessively clean the whole house with bleach often ending up with burns and sores on my hands. I bake cakes, pies and cook meals to feed hundreds. I obsess over songs, playing the same one over and over again until I am word perfect. It’s usually during this stage my family worry the most, because they know the higher I go, the harder my world is going to come crashing down. I may be a little controversial with this article, but bear with me. Part of the reason for stigma around bipolar disorder is that we can be a little difficult to talk to

and understand. During the mania phase I have a tendency to just talk whatever is on my mind most of the time with no filter. Often shutting people up or talking over them, when all I really want to do is to be able to tell you everything on my mind. Here are five small points on how you can support someone with bipolar. • Avoid patronising words - “Are you drunk?” “Have you taken your pills?” No I’m not drunk and yes I have taken my medication… there is a chemical imbalance in my brain that causes these highs and lows that I have no control over. • Keep them company - Sometimes all I want to do is be near someone I can trust, I simply just don’t want to be alone. • Protect them from harm - Express your concerns over my manic behaviour, health or lifestyle. I sometimes can’t see it. • Encourage me - If I am obsessing about something that isn’t particularly har mful, let me work through it, I may benefit from it. • Prepare for the crash - Will you catch me when I fall? Having somewhere you feel safe and loved is so important, the come down is inevitable, it’s best to be prepared. If you have any other points you would like to add, please email me!

Something to do in a Pandemic? Wines & Spirits NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England

A PANDEMIC appears to be under way or at least we are waiting for the United Nation’s World Health Organisation and more local authorities to call the day when it is recognised as one. Meanwhile what to do? Panic buying of this or that and toilet paper seems the most popular will get rather mundane; if you have wealth and the leisure what to do? One might usefully spend the new found leisure time as you ‘self isolate’ or put some ‘social distance’ between yourself and your friends and neighbours with a new hobby or leisure pursuit. A hobby that is at once entertaining, educational and push back at the potential boredom that isolation may occasion. May I propose getting to know rare wines and brandies and whiskies? On March 18, 2020 Sotheby’s the auctioneers will hold a sale of Fine Wines and Spirits in London. Plenty of time to get yourself organised to make bids over the telephone and arrange for deliveries to your villa.

Lot 83 - The Dalmore Candela 50-year-old estimate of £50,000 to £70,000. What might tempt you? To pick up the telephone or open the laptop and begin your voyage into a distracting and entertaining new diversion. Perhaps the opportunity to acquire and taste wines from the collection of Earl Spencer. From Althorp House the private residence of Earl Spencer, comes a spectacular array of Bordeaux stretching from the 1990s all the way back to 1945, spot lit by a case of the stupendous Haut Brion 1989, together

Lots - 369-373 Yquem 1921, 1923, 1924 estimate of £7,500 to £10,000. with first rate Port and a superb selection of Cognac, in a wide variety of formats. The bulk of this collection was acquired by the current Earl Spencer’s father and has never moved from the warren of interconnected cellars under Althorp House. Bidding notes: Haut Brion 1989, 12 bottles, est £12,000-16,000 (Lot 714), Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931, six bottles, est £6,000-10,000 (Lot 733), Taylor 1955, three bottles, est £600-800 (Lot 734).

Or perhaps Jonny Fowle, Sotheby’s Spirits Specialist, may further inspire as he outlines the harder highlights of the sale. “We are delighted to present such a strong selection of bottles consigned directly from producers as well as from private collections to begin our 2020 sales in London. Among the most exciting bottles in this sale are the Gordon & MacPhail Private Decanters, all of which are numbered 1 of their respective outturn. This is the first time that any number 1 decanter from G&M has been offered for sale rather than kept within the Urquhart Family archives. Offering these alongside such iconic bottles as Karuizawa 52-yearold from Cask #5627 and so many Macallan in Lalique decanters showcases the strength of current demand for the very best in the world of whisky.” There is much to discover in the world of wines and spirits that is diverting as an investor, not drinking the purchases, or as a wine or whisky buff and drinking through the purchases you make. Happy hours examining the Catalogue which may be acquired from Sotheby’s to browsing round the vineyards and distilleries spread across the globe. [www.sothebys.com] A diversion against tedium and certainly great fun too. Nick Horne, London, England

Clooney in Canaries Sunny shore GEORGE and Amal Clooney continue their busy jet-set lifestyle with a recent visit to the Canary Islands with their twins Ella and Alexander along for the ride. The actor-director and the human rights lawyer touched down in Tazacorte, a town in La Palma, in the Canary Islands. Clooney is reportedly filming scenes for his upcoming Netflix film ‘The Midnight Sky’ in which he directs and plays the lead role. The superstar couple and their children were said to have been seen relaxing and enjoying a beautiful, sunny Spanish afternoon on one of the days during their downtime in the area.

NOTORIOUSLY PRIVATE: Couple brought their twins to enjoy work and play.

Sources reported that Amal and the twins were rarely seen outside of the luxury hotel, but that George was out-andabout filming scenes for his new film that is in postproduction. It is no surprise that Amal and the chil-

dren have stayed behind as the couple are notoriously private about their relationship. They first met in July 2013 after being introduced by a mutual friend who felt that George and Amal would make a perfect match.

GEORDIE SHORE’S Stephanie Snowdon was kicked off an easyJet flight to Malaga on Friday for being too drunk. The 26-year-old was flying from Newcastle to soak up the sun in Marbella with a group of friends when the incident occurred and she now believes she is banned from the airline. The Geordie beauty, who did finally manage to get to Spain in the end, shared a picture of herself on the plane before she was booted off. The photo included the caption, ‘I can’t believe I’ve been barred from easyJet for having a good time.’ In now deleted videos, the reality star seemed to be slurring her words as she complained: “She just took our passports off us saying no good on this flight.” Later in the day, Stephanie posted videos from a stunning villa in Spain, showing that she had managed to get another flight to her sunny destination. Stephanie was surprisingly axed from Geordie Shore after just one se-

West End musical THE Salon Varietes Theatre in Fuengirola will be presenting the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice multi-award-winning musical EVITA, nightly from Friday March 20 to Sunday March 29. Evita tells the story of Ar-

gentina’s first lady Eva Peron from her early life, her rise to power, her charity work and her eventual death at the age of just 33. Ricky Lavazza, one of the Costa del Sol’s top singers, plays Che, a part he has always cherished since he saw David Essex sing some of the show’s songs when he was young. Gemma Lloyd takes on the title role of Evita and James Burns plays Juan Perón. The show is directed by Peter Mitchell with choreography by Peter Height and musical direction from Sylvia Griffiths. In June 1978 the show opened at the Prince Edward Theatre to rave reviews, starring Elaine Paige as Evita and David Essex as Che. It won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Musical and Elaine Paige for Best Actress. The film version in 1996 starred Madonna as Eva and Antonio Banderas as Che. A new song, You Must Love Me, was written for the film and added to later stage productions.

This week Celebrity Chef & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala celebrates the arrival of spring with a delicious Asparagus dish!

Spring is in the air! Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com TEMPERATURES over here on the Costa del Sol are running above average for the time of year, apparently. To be honest I can see it in my garden. The Birds of Paradise flowers are out and looking great and the bougainvillea looks fantastic and is in full bloom. That’s all a little early possibly two weeks or so and I think therefore we can safely say spring is here on the coast! Back in the UK we have been hearing of snow and of course the dreadful storms like Dennis that have caused havoc and flooding, so we are privileged

to have spring arrive so soon. So with all this lovely weather it’s not surprising that the seasonal vegetables and fruits have shifted up the charts. I have been buying asparagus from Granada that is perfect due to the rain we had early in the New Year followed by a mini heatwave helping to push those little blighters up from the soil reaching for the skies! My creative mind has been thinking of ways of using asparagus and I have been reminiscing about growing my own asparagus in our vegetable garden at home when I was living in Cambridgeshire. I had taken a liking to all the fresh produce that my first wife Sally was growing. We had green beans, brussels sprouts, rhubarb, tomatoes, potatoes, squashes, leeks, celery, loads of

Daughter Serena (left) and Michele looking excited to get my asparagus! herbs and of course asparagus. Sally had taken a degree in Horticulture and not only had green fingers but had the passion to grow everything. I was fascinated by the terracotta domes (cloches) covering the asparagus. I asked her about them and she explained that whilst there was not so much

heat in the atmosphere by covering them, it helped the warmth push them up out of the ground. “Doesn’t that mean that the asparagus will be white if they are covered?” I asked. (I knew that was how white asparagus is grown) “Yes” she said “but when they start to move we reveal them to the sun and they turn green.” I had a photo shoot pending with OK magazine coming up and they liked the idea of shooting it in our vegetable garden with me holding bunches of herbs and asparagus. I looked under the cloches but the little blighters hadn’t come through much and as it was sunny I removed the cloches to get some sun on their little skins and speed up the process. I felt that I would then legitimately be able to say

that I helped grow these fine specimens as I cheesily smiled into the camera. It had been a really hot day and that night I had dreamt about going to the veg garden and seeing my giant (Jack and the beanstalk style) asparagus! The next morning I went to take a sneaky peek, but to my shock and horror the little spears had been eaten away by rabbits. There was a lot of mess everywhere and I knew Sally would be livid for me interfering, so I cleaned up the mess and placed the cloches back. A couple of days later over dinner Sally said …”you know it is really strange that the asparagus hasn’t come up yet.” “Strange… yes” I said. “Maybe you haven’t got green fingers after all!” As I spoke I could see the rabbits in my imagination, laughing!

Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.

ASPARAGUS ASPARAGUS - two ways This simple dish has the advantage of two textures, several sensational flavours and it is easy to prepare. • Ingredients for asparagus (serves two) 8 spears of green fresh asparagus 100ml of water 50g of butter 1 tablespoon olive oil Maldon salt Micro cresses to garnish Truffle oil (Basil oil optional) • For Mushroom Duxelle 2 handfuls of mixed wild mushrooms 1 clove garlic peeled and chopped 1 shallot peeled and chopped A little olive oil A little truffle oil Seasoning • To make the Mushroom duxelle Pan fry the mushrooms with the garlic and the shallot in the olive oil until cooked and then blend in your food processor with a little truffle oil, taste, season and reserve.

• For Goat’s Cheese custard 100g of good quality goat’s cheese, or vegetarian goat’s cheese 2 cloves garlic peeled 250ml of whipping cream 4 eggs (separated) • To make the custard Blanch the garlic cloves in a little boiling water for two minutes to remove the bitterness. Bring the cream to the boil and add the goat’s cheese and garlic. Remove from the heat, pour into a blender and blend. Separate the eggs. As the blender is going, add the three egg yolks and one whole egg. Blend for five minutes then pass through a fine sieve. Pour about 1cm of the mix into small 2-inch ramekins then put them in a bamboo steamer and cover and steam the custards for about 15 minutes until the custard is set (when you shake it, there should be a slight wobble in the centre). Once cooked, place in the fridge to rest. • For beetroot 1 small cooked and peeled beetroot

Spring asparagus, goat’s cheese custard, wild mushroom & truffle.

Splash of olive oil Pinch of salt Pinch of sugar • To make the beetroot puree Warm the cooked beetroot in boiling water to soften for one minute and then add it your food blender and add a little oil and the sugar and salt and blend to a puree and reserve in the fridge. • Tempura batter 250g of Oriental Tempura flour mix 1 small 50cl bottle of cold sparkling water Drizzle of olive oil Maldon salt Ice cubes • To make batter Mix the ingredients together in a bowl and add the cold water and stir (Don’t whisk) so that you have a lumpy batter and now add the olive oil and seasoning. Reserve. • To cook and construct dish Bring the 100ml of water to the boil, add the butter and oil and blanch four spears of asparagus for one minute and remove onto tissue pa-

per. Toss the other four spears through a little flour and then dip them into the tempura batter and deep fry at 190ºC until crisp (two minutes) and remove onto tissue and season. Carefully turn out the goat’s cheese custards onto the plates. Quenelle the mushroom duxelle neatly onto each plate. Spoon the beetroot puree artistically onto the plates (see photo). Put two fried and two blanched asparagus together on each plate, season with Maldon salt and top with micro cresses, drizzle the goat’s cheese custard with truffle oil. Serve.

MARBELLA MOMENTS

Please save the date!

BY NICOLE KING #UNMS2020 For the fifth year running we are holding our international resident community get-together. On April 23 from 9.30 till 2 at finca Amalur Alabardero. Topics of previous years: •UNMS2016 - •UNMS2017 general feedback from the community to diagnose what action need be taken to address issues that frequently only affect the resident international community. •UNMS2018 - Joining the dots - businesses assessing the benefits of further involvement with the resident community by taking part in resolving some of the issues identified and encouraging new business by collaborating with local charity incentives. •UNMS2019 - Filling in the gaps by associating associations, further involvement with schools and more prominence for our local town hall and their dedication to our international community.

FEATURE

INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY: The UNMS2019 group photo. •UNMS2020: We’re now officially putting into practice the issue that has been of most interest to most people every single year. Creating a communication grapevine. To achieve this we are appointing Team Captains to act as a portal for each category, to then also ensure a cross over of information within each topic when required. The following people have

volunteered to head up the following groups: So far: a) Angela Lafferty has been at most, if not all of the previous events and is heading up sustainability, a subject that has gained so much more protagonism since the first #UNMS2016. b) Sam Campbell will assist with the priority objectives for our teen community with the top goals being special deals at cinemas, promoting fun en-

tertainment in sports clubs during weekends and holidays, to establish some form of emotional support group and promote further interaction with our business and charities to create opportunities for a future career and life in Marbella, if we want them to stay. c) Tom Burns, president of Age Concern Marbella San Pedro is helping compile everything relative not just to the elderly, but all vulnerable

www.nicoleking.es • www.zerohero.es

members of the community to coordinate services and support systems in our community. d) Chris Long, Principal of the English International College, very active participants at last year’s event, is helping engage other schools and students with their particular projects and hopefully to encourage the children to participate in all groups. After all, the children are our future! e) I will continue to help extend the #ZeroHero incentive which is another of our summit successes - free soft drinks for the designated driver ensuring a safer community for all. As group representatives we will hold regular #UNM meetings to exchange notes to ensure we support all incentives and information is shared. This year we’re pleased that once again dignitaries and consuls will be joining the estimated 300 plus members of the international community - we hope you will be one of them. Save the date!!

TESTIMONIAL Hi everybody at EWN Doggie Angells would like to thank you all for your help over the last year. We have had a great deal of success with rehoming our dogs. Sometimes dogs can be with us for long periods. It’s funny when they are adopted people often say we have been looking at this dog in the paper week after week and we kept wanting to adopt him but the time was just not right. He's still in the paper and we are now ready to have him. So that is great - patience pays off. Again thank you all, we very much appreciate all what you do for our charity. Things slow up for us in August, thank goodness it gives us time to catch up. Kind regards Denise and all at Doggie Angells.

We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-chari ty.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320)

For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875.

Bolder than before As tough

SINCE its launch, people have purchased the Renault Talisman primarily for its design. Latest alterations made to the new model serve only to reinforce its style and appeal. The front end is more refined with a new grille now fitted with transverse chrome brightwork and a modified bumper profile. The full range also comes fitted with full LED lights. Adaptive headlights are equipped with LED MATRIX technology and come with dynamic LED indicators. At the rear, the pure and refined style of the New Talisman is reinforced by the full LED lights that are framed by chrome fittings and include dynamic indicators. The rear-fitted shark-fin antenna improves the quality of the New Talisman’s multimedia system while giving it a new sporty look. As the driver approaches the vehicle, a lighting sequence involving headlights and door-handle lighting is triggered; the interior

as a tank

TECHNOLOGY AND SOPHISTICATION: Powerful and efficient engines.

lights then follow suit as the driver climbs aboard. Great care has been taken in designing the New Talisman’s passenger compartment right down to the tiniest detail. The dashboard is easier on the eyes with the New Talisman thanks to the 10.2” adjustable screen, that comes equipped as stock-standard starting with the Intens pack. The EASY LINK multimedia system offers a user-friendly and customisable interface and the 9.3” screen in portrait configuration gives a modern touch. The Talisman has been enhanced with more state-of-the-art advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), with up to an L2 au-

tonomous driving rating. A Highway and Traffic Jam Companion combines adaptive speed control with Lane Centering Assistance, that works even going around curves. This feature regulates the speed from 0 to 160 km/h while keeping vehicles ahead at a safe distance. The system can automatically stop and start the car within three seconds without the driver having to do a single thing. The Talisman features the range’s latest WLTP compliant petrol and diesel engines, which are cleaner and more efficient. Both environmentally friendly, the TCe petrol engine has been equipped with a particulate filter.

THE Land Rover Defender has always been a symbol of strength and the new model is the toughest and most capable vehicle yet, combining a new body structure with all-new technologies and proven hardware to create a Defender that is fit for the 21st century. The new Defender is built for adventurous hearts and curious minds. The unmistakable silhouette is familiar yet new. Iconic in name, shape and capability, every detail of the exterior design has been creatively developed to reenforce the DNA of the Defender model - sophisticated, durable and extremely tough, a vehicle design like no other. The new Defender is the first Land Rover vehicle available with an optional factory-fitted Satin Protective Film which delivers enhanced design and durability. The PU-based wrap is applied to external bodywork and gives the standard metallic paint a rich and contemporary satin finish. Raising the position of the vehicle’s body structure by 0.8” compared to the existing range of large SUVs within the Land Rover line-up and relocating elements including the

battery and cooling circuits, has enabled vehicle engineers to deliver ultra-short front and rear overhangs and a wheelbase of 119” on the Defender 110 - 3.9” longer than a Land Rover Discovery. This new body architecture provides ground clearance of 11.5” and exceptional off-road geometry, giving the Defender 110 approach, breakover and departure angles of 38, 28 and 40 degrees respectively. Customers will be able to choose between a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, badged P300, and a sixcylinder Mild-Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) powertrain, badged P400. The P300 powertrain, which produces 296hp, uses an advanced twin-scroll turbocharger for smooth performance and efficient power delivery, accelerating from 060mph in 7.7 seconds. The P400 MHEV powertrain harvests energy normally lost during deceleration and redeploys it to optimiSe performance. The inline six-cylinder petrol engine features both a conventional twin-scroll turbocharger and an advanced 48volt electric supercharger. A belt-integrated starter motor replaces the alternator to assist the engine under acceleration, while the 48-volt lithium-ion battery stores energy captured as the vehicle slows down. In combination, these advanced technologies provide 395hp, 406-lb ft of torque and acceleration from 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds.

Classic Car Club of Andalucía

CCCA: Off to the Shows and back to Rallying! R

ACE-RETRO SHOW, Stoneleigh Classic car enthusiasts in this beautiful part of the world are very lucky in that there is so much going on that they can do and enjoy. There are shows through the winter and summer, classic car tours and busy classic car clubs and a great deal of classic motorsport to watch or take part in. Not only that, we have easy access to the UK and, especially in the winter, with cheap flights it is a great time to go and enjoy some of the shows in the homeland. Last week, I was at Race-Retro which is held over three days at Stoneleigh Park near Coventry. This is probably the biggest and best of its kind in the world and is something of a ‘Mecca’ for enthusiasts of cars and motor-sport across the ages. This huge show needs a couple of days to get around and luckily there is a reasonable hotel right in the grounds that produces a super atmosphere in the evenings with so many enthusiasts staying and old friends meeting up. It certainly worked for me! Not only do they have hundreds of stands covering the whole spectrum of motor sport, car clubs, car tours and parts suppliers but they also have a special stage set up in the grounds, where thousands of spectators could watch rally cars from recent decades doing what they do best and used in anger. There was a special tribute to Group B rally cars which was really appreciated by the crowds. In the main hall was a tribute to former British Rally Champion Russell Brookes who died last October. Seven of his former rally cars were on show, all in their original ‘Andrews Hear for Hire’

Minis - Still popular in all forms of motorsport!

colours and I was pleased to see that his Manta 400 that I had driven on the Lombard Bath rally in October was also there, still carrying my rally plates from that event. Sadly, Russell died only a week or so after this rally and I know he would have been delighted with the display of his cars. The show is set again for the end of February next year and is well worth visiting. It runs for three days, but I would recommend going for at least two days if you can! Rallye de Almanzora As I mentioned earlier, we are so lucky in this country that there is so much for classic car enthusiasts to do and that applies equally to the world of classic motorsport. Most of my adult life has been spent involved with motorsport and most of that in rallying specifically. I had been a regular competitor in Spanish historic rallying until around six years ago when I stopped. Thus, it was with great excitement that I dragged my trusty old Triumph TR8 out of six years hibernation along with my dusty crash helmet to compete in the Rallye de Almanzora this weekend. The area of Almanzora, near Baza, is famous for its marble production and also its fabulous ranges of mountains, or Sierras, providing hundreds of kilometres of mountain-goat roads that are just fabulous for rallying. The Spanish have no problems getting these roads closed which makes for spectacular rallying. The event started on Friday afternoon with a couple of special stages in the evening in the dark, just ideal for me to get my eyes to refocus! It was with some trepidation that I edged up to start the first stage with co-driver Jose Luque. Not only can the Spanish close roads easily, they can even close

the whole town. This rally was based in Olula and the first stage was a flat-out blast up the main street, twice around small roundabouts in the town and then on out to the countryside and ‘proper’ rallying. How different an atmosphere to that in the UK ! Most of the townspeople came out to see and cheer on the rally cars, not a murmur of protest anywhere, even with the town’s main through-roads closed! In fact, organisers tell me that their problems arise if they don’t go into the towns! Imagine that in the UK !! After what seemed like a short night’s sleep and an 8.00am restart, the rally proper got going. Unfortunately, everything that could go wrong for us in the TR8 did go wrong! The first three stages were ruined due to faulty sensors in the very complex (and expensive) timing systems used in the car for this type of rallying. It meant that the first three stages were a complete disaster and we incurred large penalties. However, good rallyists ‘never say die’ and we were able to fix the problem and start trying to haul ourselves back into contention as we went in to Stage 4. The rally continued into the afternoon and then the night with the last

stages run in the dark. The last stage finishing around 10.30 Saturday night after a very long day! I am delighted to report that, after our problems initially, we won every special-stage of the rally from then until the finish eventually getting fourth overall. Not a bad re-start to rallying again and now I can’t wait for the next event! Ruta de las Sierras Altas The next big event on the calendar for The Classic Car Club of Andalucia is the Ruta de las Sierras Altas, a four-day classic car tour, starting next Tuesday, March 10. Cars will depart Venta Carlos del Mirador, on the Montes de Malaga road, at 11.00am and head for Colmenar, La Viñuela, Zaffaraya and a night-halt in Granada with a free night there to enjoy the delights of the tapas bars in the city. We will have a full report on this event in our next issue. Meantime, the CCCA will also be having a one-day classic car tour on Saturday which will start on the Almogia road, just outside Malaga, and finish at the Cerrado del Aguila Golf Club. That’s it for now. More next time!

Porsches - Still the ultimate rally car!

Further information on Classic Car Club of Andalucia events can be found on the Club’s website www.cccandalucia.com. Membership of this vibrant club is open to anyone owning a genuine classic car here in Spain. Saca tu coche clásico del garaje y diviértete con el.

Bowling in the sun LAST week saw the climax of any club’s bowling season, the Men’s and Ladies’ Singles, take place at Miraflores Bowling Club and were blessed with delightful weather throughout. Both competitions were well supported and some excellent matches led up to the finals. In the Men’s competition Malcolm Dare was up against Derek Carr and in the Ladies’ final Nancy Shaw played Pam Kinane. A large crowd had gathered to watch what were anticipated to be closely contested matches. In the Men’s Final Malcolm started slightly better but the scores were level at 4-4 after eight ends then Derek picked up six shots over two ends to establish a cushion. The match then ebbed and flowed with Derek leading 14-10 after 16 ends. Then Malcolm, despite bowling superbly was becalmed, while Derek playing the game of his life edged forward final-

The Ladies’ Final unfolded in a similar fashion with Nancy holding the early advantage, but Pam fighting back to hold the lead 11-8 after 11 ends. Again the initiative switched back and forth with Nancy creeping in front to lead 18-14 after 19 ends. Nancy then played a couple of stunningly accurate ends to run out the winner 21-14. All were agreed that the scores were not reflective of the quality of bowling

observed, but that Nancy and Derek were very worthy winners and that from a spectator’s perspective they had witnessed two of the best finals they had seen. In her speech when making the presentations after the final Club Secretary - Carol Frost praised the quality of play and congratulated Nancy on her third victory and Derek on his fourth, she thanked all those involved as participants, markers and spectators along with Heather behind the bar.

FREQUENT Fuengirola visitor Alistair Fraser, who is from Dunfermline in Scotland is bringing a large group of bowlers from his hometown to take on some Costa del Sol teams. The bowling buddies from Headwell Bowling Club in Dunfermline will be arriving tomorrow Friday, March 6 and setting up base at Fuengirola Park Hotel until Friday, March 13. There will be 38 in the party with 31 playing members, an increase on last year’s numbers when the club visited with 15 players. The event was a roaring success and since they all had such an enjoyable week it was decided to come again

this year to the same clubs. The team have games on Saturday, March 7 at Lauro, where there are seven rinks, and 28 players and will start at 2pm. They will then go on to play their first game against the 24 players at the Mijas club on Monday, March 9, starting at 10.30am. Wednesday, March 11 will be at Miraflores club, who will provide six rinks, and 24 players for a 2pm start. Their final match will be back at Mijas on Thursday, March 12 from 10.30am. The event is such a great display of solidarity for both the team and international bowls and I am sure they will have a great time playing and escaping the weather back home.

Chelsea Knock Liverpool Out Of The FA Cup Chelsea 2 Liverpool 0: Match viewpoint from YouTube’s Football With Brownie G O A L S f ro m W i l l i a n a n d Ross Barkley, plus some excellent saves from Kepa Arrizabalaga, helped Chelsea reach the quarter-finals. Chelsea moved into the last eight of the FA Cup as they handed Liverpool a second successive defeat, beating the runaway Premier League leaders 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. Having lost for the first time in the league this season at Watford on Saturday, another trip down south saw the Reds suffer a further setback in an other-

wise outstanding season. Willian got lucky in the 13th minute as he benefited from an Adrian error to give the home side an early lead in the first meeting of the teams in the competition since the 2012 final. The Blues doubled their advantage in the second half courtesy of Ross Barkley, though not before the recalled Kepa Arrizabalaga had kept a much-changed Liverpool at bay.

deny Sadio Mane, then Divock Origi and finally Curtis Jones. Adrian had produced a reactionary stop to deny Willian with the game still scoreless, only to concede straight after as Liverpool gave the Brazilian a second opportunity. Fabinho lost possession to allow his compatriot to take aim again, his firm drive catching struck a poorly positioned Adrian and spun away from him into the net. Scorer Willian was forced off early after the break through injury, with Chelsea having al-

ready lost Mateo Kovacic, though they put the game beyond their opponents in the 64th minute. Allowed to travel with the ball from halfway, Barkley opted to take on a shot from just outside the penalty area that flashed beyond Adrian’s dive. Mason Mount and Olivier Giroud both hit the crossbar the latter denied by Adrian’s finger tips - but two goals were enough to see Chelsea progress, ending any thoughts of a domestic double for Jurgen Klopp’s Reds.

WALKING FOOTBALL 1 AND 2 LEAD THE LEAGUE SATURDAY February 22 at the Finca Naundrup saw the Blue Sky Walking Football League’s highest match score to date when Smiles 50’s ‘A’ team swept aside their 60’s ‘B’ team by eight goals to one. The game did’nt get off to the expected ‘A’ team all over their older opponents from the kick off. In fact ‘B’s shocked their ‘younger’ opponents by taking the lead as Player/Manager scored his first ever League goal. They defended well to retain their lead to half time. ‘A’s 0 ‘B’s 1 The second half was a different story with the ‘A’s turning up the heat and taking the game to the ‘B’s, especially as they began to tire with the pace of the WALKING DEAD: A disappointing result. ‘A’ team taking its toll.

WFS coach Woody was obviously happy his team had taken three points from what was always going to be a difficult game and felt they had played well as a team to secure the points. Walking Dead manager Martin Tigue couldn’t hide his disappointment and said his team had been embarassing and had gifted WFS two goals. He had praise for the referees who had controlled the game well but it had not been a good experience watching his team’s performance. Tapas and drinks were laid on in the cafeteria/bar for the teams courtesy of WFS after the match. All eyes turn to Saturday first when the League Cup Semi Finals take place. First up will be a local ‘derby’ featuring the league’s two top teams WFS ‘A’ versus WFS ‘B’ which kicks off at 12 noon at Finca Naundrup Calahonda. Both teams saw off the Walking Dead ‘A’ and ‘B’ teams to reach the semi-final. The ‘A’ team will be obvious favourites having defeated the ‘B’ team 6-0 in a League game which had controversy as the ‘B’ players felt they had been inhibited by the change in the pass back rule and lost two goals as a result. However this is a Cup Semi Final and while ‘A’ coach Woody has a full squad to choose from, ‘B’ coach Tony C has problems with injuries to key players. However rest assured he and captain Charles Kleimunt will use the previous game’s experience to come up with a plan to take the ‘B’ team to the Final. The other Semi Final sees old rivals Aston Viñuela WFC take on Smiles ‘A’ 50’s at the Polideportivo Benalmadena Pueblo (next to the Bullring) kick off 2 pm. This should be an intriguing tie with both teams having a turn round in fortunes. Not surprisingly none of the managers were willing to give predictions other than to say they hoped it was their team who would be taking the field in the Final which will take place on Sunday April 4.
