Action for donkeys after public outcry PRESS and people power prompt council to act
Two months after a video of a man mistreating a Mijas donkey was shared on the internet, and the Euro Weekly News (EWN) called for times to change, Mijas Council has announced it has signed an agreement to ensure that people operating donkey taxis are properly trained in the care of their animals. The video showed a man kicking a donkey and dragging it along the ground when trying to
make it stand up. The incident lasted a number of minutes and happened just metres from the town hall. Complaints were received by the Guardia Civil’s Seprona Nature Protection Branch and many expatriates in the area expressed their disgust and asked for the authorities to intervene. EWN’s ensuing article and website story about the plight of the Mijas donkeys drew much attention to the issue, with nearly
2,000 hits online and many letters to the paper firing up the debate and prompting people Turn to Page 3

Unemployment EMPLOYMENT has suffered another blow in Malaga province, with an extra 4,039 people registered as out of work at the end of October according to official government fig-
ures released this week. Although this was the second increase in a row and the second greatest in Andalucia last month, it was still smaller than that registered a year ago (6,300).

The ‘My Gypsy’ house in its heyday By Eleanor Hawkins MI GITANA, the house Isabel Pantoja and Julian Muñoz shared in Marbella’s La Pera urbanisation, will soon be reduced to rubble. The property is to be completely destroyed by the new owner, a British businessman who bought it for around €2
million has decided to knock it down and build a mansion on the grounds. Although the location is prime, the property he found was completely abandoned and destroyed inside by vandals. The jailed singer’s home, which was in the hands of Banco Santander, bore a number of debts. In fact on the day of the sale there were representatives from
eight different companies present waiting to get their hands on what they were owed. Isabel Pantoja lost the house to Banco Santander when she was unable to meet payments on the €3.3 million mortgage she had taken out in 2004. She stopped paying in 2007 when her financial problems started.

CENOTAPH, LONDON: The main focus of the Remembrance Sunday parades.

Poppies are worn as a symbol of respect and tribute on Remembrance Sunday and November 11.

This year, the whole ceremony will be shorter than in the past out of respect for the ageing veterans who take part in the parade and to limit the amount of standing time for the Queen, who is approaching her 90th birthday, and Prince Philip who is 94. As well as the main service in London, the laying of wreaths takes place all over the UK as well as the Commonwealth, and there will also be many parades embracing ex-service personnel now settled in Spain.
Although the Armistice signed in 1918 effectively ended the Great War, the conflict was only officially concluded with the signing of the peace treaties in June 1919. Due to the huge loss of life, the first Remembrance Day ceremonies held on November 11, 1919, were contemplative rather than triumphant.

HAMLEYS is reported to have signed up to open its first shop in Spain at the Torremolinos centre By Eleanor Hawkins THE largest commercial and leisure centre in Andalucia, planned in Torremolinos by a British group, is nearer than ever to becoming a reality. As the group, Intu Properties,
waits for final details to be ironed out, the council has announced that it hopes to have changes to the PGOU land and urban development plan approved at its November plenary session, to allow work to go ahead.
The project, started in 2005 but subject to bureaucratic delays ever since, is for a giant centre on a 195,000- squaremetre plot in the Molino del Viento area near the Palacio de Congresos, and boasts a yearround ski slope and giant wave
pool for surfers as some of its main attractions. If the PGOU changes are approved next month and the Junta de Andalucia regional government doesn’t reject them, as it has done five times in the past due, work could start early 2016.

Overcoming gender violence FUENGIROLA Town Council has stated quite clearly that gender violence must be stamped out, and at their October plenary session, a motion was approved to push regional and central government into action. The text of the motion urges both the Junta de Andalucia regional government and the central government to promote a social, political and institutional reform and policy against this particular type of violence. “We’re currently experiencing a very serious situation, a real problem. The institutions and society in general should arm themselves with sufficient tools to fight gender violence. So far this year 39 people have been murdered, eight of them in Andalucia, and many of them had never reported their partners for violence beforehand. It’s something we cannoteallow to continue,” said Equality councillor Ana Mata, who has demanded better coordination between public administrations to put an end to the crimes. Amongst other things, the motion urges sufficient budgets to be allotted to preventing gender violence, and increasing social assistance for victims. Also to create a coordination team against violence in each region and a support fund for councils to draw on to reinforce the network of public services. In addition, encouraging the role the municipal social services and women’s centres play and must continue to play is vital.

Marbella Council decision overturned COURT does not have the power to legalise what was illegally built By John Smith THE High Court has overturned the 2010 revision of the Marbella PGOU (general plan for urban zoning) which was approved by the Junta de Andalucia regional government. In three sentences made public on Wednesday (November 4), the high court accepts the appeals of a community of owners and two societies against the ruling by the Andalucian High Courts which had rejected their challenges to the revision. The three sentences reached the same conclusion and rescinded the Marbella PGOU for many reasons, as it was not within the powers of the revision to legalise what had been illegally built, there was a failure to meet environmental regulations and there was no report on economical sustainability. The high court stated that it was aware of ‘the generalised situation of illegal building in Marbella, as a consequence of actions outside or in breach of the previous PGOU of

Hospital mole rumours under investigation by management THE rumours of moles at hospitals who are ready and waiting to call undertakers in return for a commission payment as soon as patients die, are under investigation by the management of Malaga City’s Clinico hospital. Two complaints from patients’ families sparked investigations as relatives reported having been phoned by undertakers while their loved ones were still alive. Contact details, taken by administration staff when patients are admitted, are apparently only available to staff who may have to call relatives with bad news, the hospital reported, meaning investigations are currently focused on A&E department (one of the supposed few with access to details). Yet staff at the hospital say it has been going on for many years and happens on other wards too. Undertakers are allegedly paying commissions to hospital workers who ‘tip them off ’ when someone dies, enabling

them to contact the family and try to grab the business before anyone else does. The problem comes when the selfish mole has had their eye on a case for a while and fears the patient will die on someone else’s shift. This has at least twice led to them phoning undertakers, who then phone the relatives, while the patient was still alive. Commissions paid are rumoured to be between €1,000 and €1,200, more in the case of people from abroad who need to be sent overseas.

Downing Street Brexit petition EWN joins the campaign for the right to vote for British citizens irrespective of where they are registered Preventing us from having a vote in our own country and also not being allowed to vote in the country that we choose to live and work in, is contrary to the fundamental European principle of “freedom of movement within the EU”. It’s not freedom of movement if you are forced to either, return to your country of birth or reject your origins and take on the citizenship of the country in which you now reside.
By John Smith OUR article that appeared in the print and internet editions of Euro Weekly News has certainly started people talking and thinking about their position, with one reader remembering the famous Boston Tea Party slogan ‘No taxation without representation’. Whilst we don’t expect revolution in the street, we have become aware of the fact that a petition has appeared on the Downing Street website concerning votes in the referendum for those who have lived outside of the UK for more than 15 years with the following title and information: Right to vote for British Citizens irrespective of where they are registered Expats and Brits working and living abroad have no right to vote if they have not been registered in the UK for 15 years! We have not deserted Britain, we may return in the future. The elections/referendums in Britain affect us directly too! We would like a voice!
Even people in prison in the UK have had their voting rights protected
EU REFERENDUM: Expats should have their voices heard, too.
The actual cut-off date is arbitrary as when first introduced in 1985 in the Representation of the People Act, only five years was allowed; this was then extended to 20 years in 1989 and reduced to 15 years in 2002. The government has indicated that it does intend to change the 15-year rule
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/105073
but probably not before the referendum, which seems very bizarre. At the end of the day, if a person holds a British passport then we believe that they should be allowed to express their opinion on the future of Britain. They have to pay taxes in the country of domicile but are not allowed to vote in most cases as they are still considered foreigners, yet they also can’t vote in their country of birth. The crazy situation is that all members of the Armed Forces, Crown Servants and employees of the British Council are exempt from the rule yet someone who has embraced the European Union, of which Britain is still a member, will be penalised and not allowed to vote, even though people in prison in the UK have had their voting rights protected! For those who agree with this petition, and we at Euro Weekly News certainly do as it affects a number of us, we would suggest that you add your name to this petition which needs 100,000 votes in order to force a debate in Parliament.

Makeover for Malaga T2 in line with the new T3 AFTER 25 years in service, the terminal is being smartened up By Steve Walsh
EIGHT per cent more British tourists are expected to come to the Costa del Sol over the next six months, according to forecasts announced by the Provincial Council and Costa del Sol Tourism President Elias Bendodo. The figure, together with the expected end of year surge in UK visitors to the Spanish coast, points to the ongoing importance of British tourists to the Costa del Sol. “It’s an important increase, especially from a market that is still concerned with quality of service and is becoming more demanding. The main attractions are still the sun and the beaches, but they’re
looking for other things too now” Bendodo said. The Costa del Sol was well represented at the annual World Travel Market, in London from Monday November 2–Thursday November 5, with 300 meetings planned for the week. The province is looking for greater consistency across seasons and has been promoting its advantages as a winter destination. Bendodo emphasised that the province is connected by air to 14 cities in the UK with extra flights planned between Malaga and the UK this winter. At this time Gatwick is reported to be the airport with the greatest number of flights coming to the Costa.
WHEN a traveller arrives at Malaga Airport’s T2 or T3, be it to catch a plane or getting off one, the first thing they notice is that although they form a whole, the twins were obviously dressed by different mothers, or in T2’s case, the grandmother. After 25 years in service and a few patch-up jobs, the dowdy looking poorer sister is about to get a new dress, a makeover and have her nails done. It appears the time has come for the Pablo Ruiz Picasso terminal to be renovated. The idea is that the paving, ceilings, bathrooms, paint, air conditioning and fire detection systems will all be adapted to match the image of the newer terminal. There is €9 million includ-

and announced that the total time for the work will be an estimated 33 months. Companies interested in carrying out the work will have to bear in mind that it must affect activity at the air-
port as little as possible, meaning they will probably be expected to work at night. Let’s hope they keep the lights on, because we all know what the result is when one gets dressed in the dark.

Thirteen men and two women were rescued after the Condor II lifeboat found them in the sea on Thursday, and seven (including the two women) were admitted to hospitals in Malaga for treatment. Meanwhile the other survivors were thrown into police cells in accordance with Spanish law.

The Red Cross announced that it would be giving refuge to the two female survivors, who would not be sent to detention centres before being returned to their countries of origin. This is, however not the case for the 13 male survivors, who were sent to an immigrants centre in Algeciras to await repatriation. The dinghy, which set off from a Moroccan beach on Wednesday, was carrying at least 54 migrants from Cameroon, Mali and Ivory Coast. Just four bodies were retrieved during extensive of the area.
Beds in stroke unit to double CARLOS HAYA regional hospital in Malaga is to double the number of beds in its stroke unit, taking them from four to eight. This extension will allow all of the complex stroke cases in Malaga province to be taken to this unit, which will be considered an intermediary intensive care unit. Subject to finance, the new unit should be open by spring or summer of 2016. Every year about 1,200
stroke cases are registered in Malaga province, of which about 400 are treated at Carlos Haya and it is intended that expansion of the unit will allow all patients who have a bad stroke to be treated there. Thursday October 29, was World Stroke Day and strokes are the second most common cause of death in Spain (the first in women) and the most common cause of incapacity, according to the Spanish Neurology Society.

Dedicated to helping the poor Our Euro Women series is featuring women who have made a success of their lives in Spain. These outstanding ladies have been shattering glass ceilings whether in business, charity work or sports. It’s hungry children that spur Pauline on. She just can’t bear to see them going without. CHARITY begins at home and when Pauline Prior realised how many families were struggling to even put food on their children’s plates, she decided to do something about it. Pauline set up Ayuda Al Neccesitado De San Fulgencio (AAN) to help support and provide for the many families in the San Fulgencio municipality who are on the verge of poverty, struggling to put food on the table and to clothe their children. For Pauline, it started over two years ago when the councillor for the urbanisations at the time, Jeff Wiszniewski, told her about the amount of people who were struggling and approaching social services for help. Appalled at what was happening, literally on her doorstep, Pauline started fundraising for them and raising money to purchase general food supplies which the town hall then distributed to those who needed it. Pauline said: “I just couldn’t see people going without food, it just breaks my heart. Social services will tell us what they need and we help in any way we can.” Her dedication led to the creation of the legally registered AAN and the charity shop, situated in the urbanisation, La Marina. Donations made are given straight to the families and the money raised through the sale of items is used to purchase what they need. Now they aim to provide between €1,500 and €2,000 worth of food parcels each month to help the hundreds of people, both local and foreign, registered with social services. This month, they

The HELP charity have recognised the work that AAN is doing and Pauline is delighted that the charity was able to donate two freezers to their cause so they can now buy meat, fish and bread that can be frozen, ready to hand out to people when they need it. Pauline only really started charity work after retiring to Spain 10 years ago. She worked for a number of animal charities, before taking a year off from volunteering. But, after hearing about the social situation for many of her neighbours, the passion was kicked off again and now this is very much where she will continue to devote her time and effort: “If the world was a better place, this would not be needed but while it is,

I will give it 100 per cent.” Sadly, she feels that in the next five years there will still be some sort of de-
mand for additional help and she hopes the charity will have grown with more volunteers and bigger premises.
In the meantime, her inspiration has been, and always will be, the children she is helping: “It is just the kids that spur me on, I just can’t see them going without food in this day and age. I get so upset just thinking about it.” Her organisational skills are a strength that has led her to gather a team of volunteers and, together with their regular fundraising events, they have raised thousands, although she does admit that meeting these organisational demands can also be her weakness as she doesn’t delegate as much as she could. That and chocolate: “I have such a sweet tooth!” She is very modest and unassuming about the work she is doing to help support her own local community but those around her recognise the outstanding effort she puts in and, in 2014, Pauline was recognised at the San Fulgencio Local Hero Awards and received the Special Recognition Award: “It was just amazing to be nominated and to win was so unexpected, I don’t do it for the recognition and there are others that I’m grateful to for their help and support also.” For more information on AAN call 660 934 615 or visit their Facebook page AAN charity. Their next event is a Christmas Fayre at the Posh Club, La Marina, on November 22. To book a stall, costing €5, call Pauline on the same number.

Doggie doo-doo DNA register CITY COUNCIL to bring in a bylaw to enable it to track down offending owners By Steve Walsh MALAGA City Council has put its foot down about dog mess on the streets. At the latest plenary session, it unanimously approved the creation of a public register of dogs’ DNA, which will then enable the authorities pick up samples from the pavement and track down the offending pooch, and of course fine the owner who failed to pick up their pet’s doo-doo in the first place. Once the bylaw changes come into effect, owners will have six months to get their dogs registered. Checking the calendar to make sure it wasn’t April 1, I spoke to Sue Griggs of the animal charity SOS in Coin to ask what she thought of the new laws, and what implications they might have for dog owners. “It’s a joke, she said, “a bad joke, and I have a feeling it’s the poor dogs that will come out worse.” She continued: “According to what people are saying, municipal bylaws on animal ownership will now be modified, and dog owners will have to take their pets to the vet for DNA testing. Obviously the cost of the test under
DNA TESTING: New measure aims to make owners more responsible. this new law will have to be borne by the owner.” She barked (no pun intended): “What if you have lots of dogs? “The responsible dog owner always picks up after their dog; it’s the people that don’t care about their dogs who are to blame. And they are the type of peo-
ple who will just throw a dog out to fend for itself rather than pay to be dropped in the pooh (pun intended) by having to pay for a test that will convict them.” Sue added: “The council says it will budget for discounts on the ‘pooh-
print’ tests for people who can’t afford to pay the full price, but how much will they pay? Charities and refuges have hundreds of dogs that they look after on a shoestring budget without council help because uncaring people have discarded them; it could cost thousands!”

Politicians can’t talk too much IN an attempt to shorten plenary sessions at Malaga City Hall, a new measure is to be introduced to give speakers a fixed amount of time to talk and a clock on the wall will display the time they have left. Next year the plenary hall will have a plasma screen with a stopwatch function installed to measure the amount of time speakers have been talking for, and for everyone else to see how long they have left. The measure comes after the city mayor, Francisco de la Torre, talked too much and was told off for it by PSOE spokeswoman Maria Gamez. He replied by saying he was sorry but he didn’t have a stopwatch.

taken into police custody. According to the arrest order, he is alleged to have received 1,622,000 Swiss francs (about €1.5 million) in his capacity as head of a real estate group, for the construction of homes. Between December 2012 and the end of September 2013, the man is accused of diverting the money and using it to buy vehicles and pay his staff. In addition, he allegedly paid hundreds of thousands of francs into accounts in his own and one of his partners’ names.
THE Malaga Provincial Courts have jailed a man who ‘controlled’ what the police refer to as a cocaine laboratory in a Mijas home for four years and 10 months. The court heard that in March 2012, National Police investigations and surveillance officers found that he was using the Mijas home, on a regular basis to cut and prepare cocaine to sell. When they arrested him, the accused is said to have screamed and shouted, threatening the officers, and trying to bite and punch them. Three of the officers were injured. A search of the Mijas home revealed a small amount of cocaine, substances used to cut the drug, a set of precision scales and other drug-making tools and paraphernalia. He was found guilty of crimes against public health and violence against members of the police. As well as his sentence, will have to pay damages to the officers he injured.

Power problems affect city trade ELECTRICITY cuts ‘truly bad for business’ By Steve Walsh THE power cuts that Malaga city centre suffered on Sunday November 1, from 10.30am to 4pm in some areas due to an electrical fault, was ‘truly’ bad for business. Not only will Endesa lose money from the revenue and have to pay for maintenance crews to repair the faults, but
it was a blow to many businesses in the area who were expecting a bonus to autumn trade. As fate would have it, it was a long weekend and two cruise ships had brought more than 2,600 passengers into port expecting to enjoy the bars, cafés and tourist attractions. Not only did they not spend as much money as they
would have liked, what could be more costly in the long run is that they possibly take away with them the idea that Malaga was a little dull and unprepared. Altogether 2,300 local homes and businesses were affected. Endesa reported that 1,500 were from the city centre, and the rest in La Trinidad district.

EWN EXCLUSIVE
Strangers in the Night PART-TIME resident tells of her surreptitious night with Frank Sinatra By John Smith SANDRA WHITE, a former Fleet Street journalist who lives part of the year in Cala de Mijas, has written a fascinating book about her meeting back in 1988 with the journalist-hating Frank Sinatra in this, the centenary of his birth. She was happy to talk about it in an exclusive interview with EWN. At the time, she was an investigative journalist for the Sunday Mirror and was surprised to be summoned by the features editor when she was in the middle of breaking a front page news story, but she had to see him as he was the third highest-placed employee in the newspaper. As it happens, she became involved in one of the most interesting stories of her career. She was told that Frank Sinatra had refused to give any interviews for several years and the Sunday Mirror had come up with a novel way to get to him. Barbara Sinatra was raising funds for abused children and was arranging a charity weekend for a group of no more than 30 people with Frank in Las Vegas. The paper had purchased two tickets at a cost in 1988 of $25,000 (worth €44,000 today) so she was to attend and write as much as she could about the weekend. She arrived in Los Angeles to meet with a fellow journalist who was to play her husband in the deception but immediately encountered problems when she couldn’t tell immigration officers where she would be staying. Eventually with the help of a friendly British Airways employee who gave her support, she was able to pretend that she had remembered the address and was allowed into the country. Having read an unauthorised biography of the man by Kitty Kelly, which described him ‘warts and all’, Sandra was worried about what would happen if he discovered who she really was. But she and her ‘partner ’ Ian travelled to the Sinatra home in Palm Springs where they were made very welcome and with the rest of the party were flown in his
performing late at night that he could only sleep during the day. On the next day there were a number of special events including a fashion show and although the guests were not allowed to take photographs, there was a professional photographer on hand. He had been instructed not to take any photographs of Frank Sinatra with them. Unexpectedly, however, Sandra was invited to stand with him for two photos which appear in her book. Having written the story, they now had to wait for the photographs to arrive from Barbara Sinatra’s office. These were immediately rushed to the UK in time for the whole story to be the main piece in the launch of the Sunday Mirror colour supplement.
Being a true journalist, Sandra was able to match Sinatra drink for drink, knocking back Italian liqueurs, which delighted him, and then they strolled arm in arm to the casino ewrfew
UNDERCOVER JOURNALIST: Sandra pretended she was covering a charity event. private jet to Las Vegas. At the first meal, she found herself sitting next to the singer and they appeared to hit it off immediately. There was no way that she could take any form of recording device into the dinner, nor could she be seen with a notepad. So she came up with the idea of going to the toilet and writing in tiny print on the back of her place card and when that was full, she wrote on her legs above her stockings!
Being a true journalist, Sandra was able to match Sinatra drink for drink, knocking back Italian liqueurs. This delighted him and when they went through to the casino, strolling arm in arm, she was quite proud to be seen walking with him on the red carpet even though nobody knew who she was. Later that evening, his valet asked her if she would join Frank alone for a nightcap and she agreed although she had to first go
to her room to transcribe the story and tell her ‘husband’ what was going on. They spent the night just chatting about life and their families and he even suggested that she and her children should move over to Los Angeles where he would help to set them up. When dawn broke he said ‘thanks for helping me get through the night’ and she left. It transpired that he had spent so many years
As a courtesy, Sandra did alert Frank Sinatra’s office to the publication of the story and although she never received any formal response, she did learn that he was not unhappy with the piece although he didn’t like one of the photographs. The 63-page book ‘Strangers in the Night’ is available from Amazon as a paperback at £6.99 (€9.87) or kindle book at £3.99 (€5.63). It is already gaining good reviews from various lovers of the man and fanclubs. Sandra is now working on a crime novel. This is based on her investigations into celebrity paedophiles, which she had never managed to have printed in any newspaper.

Costa garden more colourful NEW plants brighten areas in winter season
NEW PLAN: Plants including pansies and begon By Eleanor Hawkins MORE than 35,000 colourful plants have started appearing in Estepona’s parks and gardens to cheer them up for the autumn and winter seasons. This year, Services Councillor Sergio Rodriguez announced 75 per cent more colourful plants, including pansies and begonias will be put into place in green areas including roundabouts and roadsides in an aim to ensure the town keeps
its status as the garden of the Costa del Sol. Other similar projects in the town include its Tree Plan, which has seen more than 6,000 new trees planted over the last three years in an aim to reduce carbon dioxide levels and make the place look prettier. Finally, the councillor explained, the lake at the Palacio de Congresos is going to be emptied and given a much needed thorough clean.
Renewals for sports facilities USERS of municipal sports facilities in Fuengirola now have three ways of making their renewal payments: in person, through the vending machine or via the Internet. The Sports councillor at Fuengirola’s Town Hall, Pedro Cuevas, gave a press conference this week to remind the users that they have three ways for renewal: in person in the complex Elola, through a vending machine situated at the premises and also via the web page www.fuengirola.org. “We are trying to improve payments in order to facilitate renewals and to avoid
cues as much as possible,” explained Cuevas. “Payments must be done between the first and 25th of each month to keep the reservations.” Renewals can be done in person in the complex Elola from Monday to Friday, from 8.30 a.m to 1.30 p.m, and people will be able to pay by cash or use a credit card. Payments are also accepted in the afternoon from 5 p.m to 7 p.m, but only by credit card. There is also a brochure available with full explanations.
Vehicles put into service EMERGENCY services and security forces in Torremolinos have been provided with three extra vehicles by the council. The Local Police force has been given two 125cc motorcycles which, the council reported, had been parked in a municipal storeroom since June 2014. Although the previous council team spent €8,200 on the motorbikes, the current council has reported it then failed to have them registered or insured. The third vehicle, a car, has been recycled from former use and handed over to the Civil Protection group for first aid. It has been equipped, the council explained, with a defibrillator, oxygen tanks, first aid kits and fire extinguishers and will be used to intervene when needed at events or on the beaches.

Santander announce rise in profit SPAIN’S biggest bank posts an increase in its third quarter By Declan Scanlan SANTANDER, the Eurozone’s biggest bank, posted a 4.7 per cent rise in third quarter net profit on Thursday October 29. The bank’s net profit from July to September was €1.68 billion which was in line with expectations from analysts
who predicted a figure of €1.7 billion. The net interest income went up by 6.8 per cent to €7.98 billion. This reflects the difference between what clients are paid by lenders for deposits and what lenders charge for the loans. In the first nine months of 2015 profits went up to €5.1 billion which was a 17
4.7% rise in third quarter profits for Santander.

Volkswagen losses GERMAN car manufacturer Volkswagen has reported its first quarterly loss for 15 years as it has added a large charge to its accounts to cover the costs of the much publicised emissions scandal.
STEVE JOBS: Founder of Apple.
Apple’s core business strong ELECTRONICS giant Apple has reported a jump in sales in the third quarter, thanks to sales of its iPhone, having sold 48 million iPhones in the period under review. Revenue was reported at $51.5 billion (€46.5 billion), up 22 per cent compared to the same period last year. It also stated that the net in-
come of $11.1 billion (€10 billion) for the period made it the company’s most successful year ever. In China, the biggest market for smartphones, Apple’s sales nearly doubled. It now has 25 stores and is opening a new one every month in a market that supplies about a quarter of its sales.
VW said it had set aside €6.7 billion to cover the expected cost, thus leaving it with a €2.52 billion pre-tax loss for the third quarter of the year.
More mortgages ACCORDING to the Spanish National Statistics Institute the number of new mortgages granted in August increased by 25.8 per cent with 19, 272 new loans agreed. Whilst this figure is far higher than the same time last year it represents a fall of 11.9 per cent from the July figure. Nevertheless, the actual amount granted was €2.01 billion.
M&S suspends website TO its great embarrassment, Marks & Spencer had to close down its website for two hours on October 27, after customers reported that they were able to partially view other people’s details when they accessed their accounts. The company said no one’s financial details were compromised by what it called an ‘internal
technical problem’ which was quickly corrected, but apologised to customers for the inconvenience caused. This follows on from the hacking of TalkTalk, in which it was suspected that bank account numbers and sort codes of customers may have been accessed although this proved not to be the case.
per cent increase. Ana Botin, Santander’s executive chairman said, “We view the economic situation as improving in the majority of our core markets.” Santander reported registered profits for the first nine months of the year in all of its 10 core markets except for Poland
which saw a 7.0 per cent profit decrease. Net profit in Spain rose 64 per cent to €883 million thanks to a rise in new loans, total customer deposits and a drop in bad loans. Santander’s main market is in Britain where net profit rose 28 per cent during the first nine months to €1.5 billion.

New exchange of financial tax information AS residents of Spain are aware, in addition to implementation of the European Savings Directive, Spain has introduced the Modelo 720 declaration requiring all assets held outside of Spain over â‚Ź50,000 by value in various asset categories to be disclosed. While these measures now give the tax authorities a good picture of assets held outside the country by residents of Spain, the USA, OECD, EU and many other countries will be moving to a new higher transparency standard of cross-border financial disclosure starting in 2017. The Common Reporting Standards (CRS) as drafted by the OECD are now agreed and there is a group of early adopter countries including Spain, UK (Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Gibraltar, Malta) which will be implementing this enhanced disclosure starting as early as September 2017. The financial information to be reported with respect to reportable accounts includes all types of invest-
FULLY TRANSPARENT: Financial assets wherever they are held. ment income (including interest, dividends, income from certain insurance contracts and other similar types of income) but also account balances and sales proceeds from financial assets. The financial institutions that are required to report under the CRS do not only include banks and custodians but also other financial institutions such as brokers, certain collective investment vehicles and certain
insurance companies. Reportable accounts include accounts held by individuals and entities (which include trusts and foundations) and the standard includes a requirement to look through passive entities to report on the individuals that ultimately control these entities. In practical terms almost all financial assets wherever and however held, which can be attributable to an individual will become fully trans-
parent. Trusts, Swiss foundations and offshore companies will have assets fully reported. Many issues will need to be resolved and are likely to be dealt with by national laws as they are enacted. As this happens differences between common law countries including UK and civil code countries including Spain may result in unwanted outcomes for British expats here. As one possible example, tax laws already enacted in France (another civil code country) if adopted in Spain, would give Spanish settlors and potential beneficiaries of trusts cause for concern. The financial institutions will identify country of tax residence, and where dual residency is possible, report to both countries. The detail required includes name, address, date of birth, account number, balance/value, income and redemption proceeds if sales have been made. Your tax identification number will also be disclosed. In Spain the Modelo 720 declara-
tion requirement already covers many of the disclosure requirements but when implemented trustees and directors of offshore companies and financial institutions will automatically disclose the value of trust, foundation and company assets, insurance policy investments, dividends, interest and the value of non-interest earning cash deposits. The CRS agreement will plug obvious gaps in the existing EUSD provisions and it is hoped will much decrease tax evasion. For those coming to and living in Spain, taking professional planning advice has just become more important than ever. Recognised tax planning structures will remain and with a 117-year tax-led financial planning pedigree The Fry Group will be helping clients to make key financial planning decisions, legitimately mitigating tax and ensuring their personal long term financial security.

OTHERS THINK IT A RECENT report states that over the next 12 months, Europe can expect some two million immigrants to cross over from the Middle East. Other reports have revealed that random searching has shown that a number of these people have been carrying ISIS and Jihadist propaganda (including pictures of beheadings). It would therefore be utterly naïve to deny that a percentage of these people may well be extremist or even terrorists. So let’s just have a look at these figures. If one in every 500 (a number I consider somewhat optimistic) were terrorist affiliated, that would mean that over the next few months, some 4,000 more potential killers will be let loose into Western society. I think it is also safe to assume that an even larger number have, or will soon have criminal intent, say one in every 200. This would result in a further 10,000
OPEN BORDERS: Report says number of immmigrants may well be limitless. criminals for our beleaguered law enforcers to deal with. It gets even worse. Other sources state that two million is a complete
underestimation of what the actual figure could become. One says that the number of immigrants may well be limitless, conse-
quently over the next few years, millions of ‘refugees’ could arrive on the shores of Europe. To my mind there is no doubt that unless drastic action is taken to rethink and reorganise our ‘open borders’ policy we can say goodbye to Europe as we know it. What on earth are our so called leaders actually thinking about? What sort of bubble do they all live in? Do they not realise that if things continue as they are there will be bloodshed all across our hard won peaceful lands? When ordinary citizens realise that their elected representatives are doing nothing to stop them losing all they love and cherish, they will have no choice but to take matters into their own hands. It will only take a couple of attacks perpetrated by these so called refugees to ignite another war of the same ilk as the Crusades. Only this time it will be in our own back gardens.

November is influenced by two cards from the tarot deck; the High Priestess and Justice
AS the November nights draw in, now is the perfect time to reflect on the events of this year. How has this year developed for you? What blessings have been bestowed upon you? How have the challenges you have faced helped you to grow? November is the 11th month of the year. This master number is giving you the opportunity to go deep inside and know exactly what it is that you want in your life. November is influenced by two cards from the tarot deck; the High Priestess and Justice. The first card reminds you to listen to your intuition, and trust your inner guidance. The second card brings
on what you want. This new moon promises to usher you into a new phase, taking you a step closer to your desires if you are courageous enough to follow your heart. Once you have decided what you want, let it go and trust that the universe will bring you this or something better. The Full Moon in Gemini on November 25 brings some much needed lightness towards the end of the month. After plumbing the depths of your soul during the month of Scorpio, the sun entering the sign of Sagittarius on November 22 will

Around the time of the full moon you may have the opportunity to make new connections, receive a solution to a long-standing problem or be in the right place at the right time.

Why Iceland is niceland
FEATURE
OUR VIEW
DETECTED bankers as the reason for their economic collapse and issued arrest warrants Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.
ONE doesn’t need a degree in economics to predict that the West cannot prevail. Anyone with the ability to run a whelk stall knows a business collapses when badly run and parasites plunder its assets. The streetwise have already started thinking banking sector. Well spotted. There are exceptions of course in which case Iceland comes to mind. There, the 26th banker has just received a lengthy prison sentence having been found guilty for his part in bringing about the 2008 economic collapse. Greed is often a far more powerful drug than the survival instinct. We often see a small time company embezzler nabbed because they couldn’t stop. Bankers are no different; they are simply more sophisticated when it comes to playing with high stakes. Believe me, the percentage of crooks in the City of
BANKERS’ GREED: More sophisticated when playing with high stakes. London and Wall Street is higher than the percentage of genuinely
guilty men in prisons. In principle there is nothing
wrong with the economic potential of any Western nation. However, many such nations face tough times because politicians, in the pockets of the banking elite, are as bent as a dog’s back leg. The Ukraine, Europe’s largest country, has far more going for it than Iceland does. The oligarchs, today all of them Western rogues, are sucking the life out of that economy. The result is the Ukrainians are now among the most poverty stricken in the world. Iceland lacks such resources, yet is one of the world’s most successful economies. Iceland’s economy went awry in 2008 as did that of Britain, the US and the EU. I told you there is no need for a degree in economics to go figure. In much of the West, politicians use taxpayer’s money to reward mismanagement and blatant fraud in the banking sector. Iceland, on the other hand, detected the reason for their economic collapse. The arrest warrants were issued and banking executives arrested for fraud and market manipulation. The sentences range from four to five years. Get the picture?

WHEN I was knee high to a Roman Candle, bonfire night as we called it, was second only to Christmas as the most eagerly anticipated festivity of the year. And as all Brits know, Guy Fawkes Night to give it its proper title, is an English custom commemorating the failed gunpowder plot of 1605. We kids would assemble a guy weeks in advance, stuffing some of dad’s old clothes with newspaper then parading the finished article round the streets on soapbox carts or old prams, chanting ‘penny for the guy.’ It was always highly competitive because the best dummy would collect the most money and consequently on one occasion we thought it might be a good wheeze to dress one of us in old togs and a papier mâché mask. We paraded him around before he gave the game away by breaking wind
ENGLISH CUSTOM: Guy Fawkes.
STYLE: Hero influences.
Hair-raising changes WHEN Elvis Presley first started shaking his leg and sneering, the girls screamed and the boys copied his haircut whilst in England a generation of ‘rockers’ kept brylcreem in business. With the arrival of the ‘moptops’ and the Stones, men’s hair got longer and longer and then morphed into the mohican and similar spiked styles. During that period, hair fashion was mainly driven by music and as many big bands have grown older, their hair has become shorter either because it is easier to manage or because it falls out. Now we see the phenomenon of the footballer’s haircuts influencing new generations of young men and even very young children. Just 20 years ago Jason Lee, who played for Nottingham Forest at the time, was the butt of jokes from the stars of the Fantasy Football League programme. Comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner said he had a pineapple on his head as he wore his Rasta braids tied up. Nowadays, however footballers seem to strive to outdo each with the most ridiculous hairstyles possible. Some are short with stripes, there are afros, blonde braids, and a variety of colours and shapes. It is an interesting comment on the way society has viewed its heroes over the past 50 years and to some extent, how the influx of immigrants from Africa, the Middle East and West Indies must have influenced appearances.

These were added to the horde which grew quickly over three or four weeks during which time dad would bring a few home on his way back from work most nights, always wrapped in newspaper. There were boxed fireworks available, but it was more fun to buy them individually and to people of my generation names such as Brocks, Wessex, Astra, Rainbow, Benwell, and Paine’s are still synonymous with those times. There were relatively few community events, because just about every household where there were children would have its own display and bonfire in the back garden, complete with stuffed guy. The cries of delight from us kids, and dad’s exclamation once of “That’s my bleeding jacket!” filled the smokey air.

A warning to Britons in Spain if the UK votes to leave the EU I HAVE had a lovely long holiday out here but was very surprised at the level of serious discourse and informed discussion on the imminent UK EU In/Out vote. I write as my last chat with other Britons over a drink by the pool rather shocked me. A British woman who holidays here (52 weeks a year) is keen to leave the EU as ‘the EU costs too much’ but ‘the vote won’t affect me as I live here’. I had to explain that Britons are only here because we are part of the EU; that allows us to live here, work here, buy houses here and to enjoy free children’s education and pensioners’ healthcare. Just before I left, on News 24 BBC, I heard a round table discussion with a political economist who specialised in the EU. He said that if, and I fully accept it is an if, we in the UK vote to leave the EU, all Europeans in the UK will lose the right to live/work/reside in the UK and have to leave. Indeed, Dominic Grieve, the former Attorney General, a pro-EU Tory MP, said recently that if Britain votes to leave the EU, two million Britons living abroad will be ‘illegal immigrants’ overnight. Britons living in Spain/working in Spain/owning houses will be technically illegal immigrants. All the current rights to medical treatment on a EHIC card, or pensioners’ right to free medical treatment or free education for children or the right to work or live or own property in Spain, will go if we vote to leave the EU. UK pensions paid in Spain may suffer the same fate as they did in Canada or Australia; there is no annual increase, the amount is frozen at the starting amount! The expert on the BBC suggested that as the Spanish government gain so much income from the British it would be unlikely that we would be expelled. However, just as David Cameron wants to impose a Foreigners Tax in the UK, so the Spanish government would impose a Foreigners Tax on British people in Spain of €2,000 or €3,000 or €5,000 per person per year. The effect of that would be that some 30 to 40 per cent of the British (only living on a state pension) would have to sell their houses as the tax would be too much to pay. The effect of that would be another 30 to 40 per cent decrease in Spanish house prices, which of course, as he said, helps the local Spanish who can-

Guiseppe’s remarks smack of the utmost arrogance. All citizens are entitled to the protection of the law. A penny to a poor man is as important as a pound to a rich man! Whilst life is sadly unequal, it does not mean those less privileged should be less privileged under the law! John Farrington, Guadacorte (Cadiz)

No excuse for abuse Re: Rugby THE thing about rugger is that decisions are justified or unjustified, there and then [albeit, it appears to take ages] via the old TV ref. The three football referees during some matches, have between them made horrendous decisions, and determined the final result. Because of their arrogance, and ‘the referee’s decision is always final’ rule, you will never see them publicly apologise and say something like: “Sorry, I messed up and your team has been relegated, or missed out on promotion.” But this is not an excuse for mob-handling of and abuse towards the referee, and like the professional ‘cheats’ in the game, when proved, should be banned from playing for at least one season. Not going to happen, though, is it? Grumpy Old Git Fred (Via email)
not afford the house prices. The problem will be, as I see it, when loads of British people who have been unable to sell - even at knock-down, fire sale prices - return to the UK broke. I fail to understand why so many of the British in Spain don’t understand this possible set of events. Indeed as I write, for the first time ever, YouGov, an opinion polling organisation, showed a 2 per cent majority to leave after months and months to stay in! The Guardian newspaper poll has moved from 11 per cent stay in to 3 per cent, with the trend moving towards leave. Britons living in the EU must wake up, start to talk, educate and campaign or they will pay dearly for it. NJ Pineger, Peterborough, Cambs (UK)
Benidorm death Re: British man found dead in Benidorm jail cell after being arrested for being disorderly during a night out I AM resident some six miles from Benidorm and a former ex-Scotland Yard senior officer who has headed many murder investigations. As a founder member of Sir Robert Mark’s ‘untouchables’, the allegations, as reported by the deceased’s partner, give me grave cause for concern most importantly as to whether any representatives of our consular services took steps to view the body of the deceased in view of the allegations alleged to have been made. I have my doubts as to whether an
official from our Foreign and Commonwealth Office visited and viewed the body. Such action should have been considered vital. I believe we will soon be hearing much more about this matter. David (Via website)
All are equal Re: Better Banus security call GIUSEPPE RUSSO: Paragraph 2: He said: “Puerto Banus isn’t any old place, it’s an international brand and must be treated as such. You can’t treat Puerto Banus like any old district.” Of course, Puerto Banus has its share of crime and other social difficulties and unsocial behaviour. However,
Re: ‘Bous al Mar’ event not popular THIS is a somewhat misleading article. I have seen the report and 50 per cent of those who responded rated the ‘Bous al Mar’ as very good or good and a further 15 per cent rated it as acceptable. So, far from the residents of Xàbia showing their general disapproval, two-thirds actually showed their approval of the event. Also, the other fiestas in Xàbia have not yet been rated by the residents. The Fogueres de Sant Joan will be the next in a few weeks. MS (Via website)
Brave Corbyn Re: Saudi Arabia’s ambassador wants more respect from Britain CONTRARY to your comment, an increasing number of the public do, in fact, support the refreshingly sane opinions of Jeremy Corbyn. Saudi Arabia has one of the worst human rights records on the planet. The UK is up to its neck in collusion with this regime for the most venal of motivations. Greed. Arms sales. Oil. The hypocrisy of the Tory and ‘New Labour’ parties is breathtaking. Jeremy Corbyn is to be congratulated for having the courage to stand up to these people. Jonathan (Via website)

YOUR STARS SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) The rather more serious side of your nature needs to take over this week. Someone in a higher position is keeping an eye on you. This may be because they are considering you for promotion, so be on your best behaviour. It is important at the moment to stick to any rules and regulations or your reputation (and pocket) could be hit. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Letting life get too tame will eventually irritate you no end. Your social life needs a boost which, in turn, helps romance blossom. It is easy to be a bit lazy when things are going smoothly but we all need constant stretching. With an active mind such as yours, the important thing is to keep making progress. This may be in a physical way or in some kind of business. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A chance remark alluding to your past brings a flashback. This helps you to see a current situation more clearly. We all make mistakes and follow the same old patterns, but this time you are being forewarned. It is in your experience and power to make a different choice of action this time. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Someone will most certainly come to the rescue when your situation changes. Well, they will, won’t they? Have Plan B ready just in case. In
SCORPIO
(October 24 - November 22)
A juicy bit of gossip comes your way this week and it is hard to keep it quiet. You must do so, however, because there is a lot riding on it. When people trust you, they are saying much about the relationship. In this particular case, the person may well be able to progress you socially at some time in the future. continuing to think in the short term you do yourself no favours. Think now of a ‘10- year plan’ and be determined to reach your goal. Bit by bit and day by day you will progress. You don’t have to rush ahead and get stressed. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) An exciting project is bubbling away in your mind but may need financial backing. Take advice from a professional or someone with successful experience in these matters. Remember that any idea has to grow, so consider what you need to see happen in five years’ time. There is little time for romance and you may decide to put that on hold because of complications. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) During your social encounters this week you meet someone who offers to help. That is great, but do ask yourself if you would be prepared to give anything in return. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Some exciting suggestions make you think twice about a current business

matter. However, it may not be necessary to change anything but to consider the new suggestion as a sort of ‘add on’ to a current project. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) The moment that you have been waiting for has arrived. A colleague has made a decision that is long overdue. Perhaps you are a little shocked and speechless because there has been such a time lag, but this will pass. LEO (July 24 - August 23) You work hard for your money. Make it worthwhile by trying to hold on to as much of it as possible. Someone who is charming and plausible may try to get you involved in a fast-track money making scheme. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) By showing confidence in your own way of doing things, you inspire others. This is chiefly because you are at last finding a balance between work and home life. In the past you may have felt stressed and equated that with working - not so now. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Because you are intent on pleasing others, you may be cramping your own style. This is something that you have in abundance and it should be used. You may be feeling that a business idea does not stand a chance and, in any case, you don’t want to risk any money.

The Shepherd’s Crown
Terry Pratchett’s final novel has an unexpected dedication to one of his own characters: “For Esmerelda Weatherwax mind how you go.” Granny Weatherwax, who became more and more complex in the long series of Discworld novels, was one of Pratchett’s most-loved creations. She is sharp and harsh as well as strong and wise, fearsome and resourceful. The beginning of The Shepherd’s Crown is an account of her death, which she is able to foresee and to prepare for. Death, when he comes to fetch her, speaks his admiration. Her fellow witches bury her in a forest clearing. The world of witches now has to rearrange itself, with Tiffany Aching at its centre. books@euroweeklynews.com
WITH the new Bond movie Spectre opening in theatres around the globe, and with over 20 Bond movies released over five decades, the James Bond series has had more than its fair share of great villains. Many have been parodied and copied over the years, and their influence can’t be overstated. But which ones really stand out, as the most memorable and iconic villains of the series? 1. Ernst Stavro Blofeld No matter how iconic Goldfinger is, there is no dispute that the ultimate villain in the series is in fact Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the notorious leader of Spectre. Blofeld’s character has been played by four actors: Telly Savalas, Anthony Dawson, Charles Gray and Donald Pleasence. 2. Goldfinger Goldfinger was not only one of the best James Bond films, but also won the best casting choices of the series. German actor Gert Frobe played the role of Auric Goldfinger, who spoke the most memorable line of the James Bond films: “No Mr Bond, I expect you to die!” 3. Oddjob In third place comes Oddjob, the personal bodyguard to Auric Goldfinger in 1964’s Goldfinger. Oddjob is widely remembered for the scene where he throws a steel rim bowler hat at a statue, slicing off its head. He would later repeat the same routine, killing Bond girl Tilly Masterson. 4. Rosa Klebb With a poison tipped steel shoe knife and a whip, what’s not to love about this torture famed

Play on Words TO DONALD PLEASANCE: Played Ernst Stavro Blofeld. SMERSH defector? Appearing in From Russia with Love, Lotte Lenya was a perfect match for the role of Rosa Klebb. It¡s almost as if Ian Fleming had written the novel with her in mind. 5. Red Grant Red Grant was a psychopathic killer working for Spectre, with the objective of stealing the Lektor decoding machine, and of course killing James Bond. Appearing in From Russia with Love, Grant was played by English actor Robert Shaw. 6. Jaws Jaws is the quintessential bigger than life bad guy, and without doubt the most well-known of the Bond villains. Introduced in The Spy who Loved Me, seven foot tall Richard Kiel brought to life the steel giant, lending the film a unique charm. 7. Mr Big/Kananga American actor Yaphet Kotto joined the Bond series in 1973, playing politician Dr Kananga and big time gangster Mr Big in
Live and Let Die. Dr Kananga was a calm Prime Minister of San Monique, who would don a rubber face mask to become his alter ego Mr Big, the ruthless gangster of Harlem. 8. Nick Nack Scaramanga’s small butler and sidekick. Nick Nack may only have two nipples, but he’s still a hell of a guy. His cheeky attitude added a lot of humour to the film, and he worked surprisingly well alongside Christopher Lee. 9. Francisco Scaramanga Christopher Lee had originally been put forward for the role of Dr No by his step cousin, Ian Fleming. Unfortunately for him, the producers had already cast Joseph Wiseman, but Lee got his chance again 12 years later. 10. Le Chiffre Le Chiffre from Casino Royale with his creepy eye and sly demeanour, brought a much needed freshness to the reboot of the series, and was one of the better villains of the post-80s era.

Remembrance Sunday at British War Memorial
JOSE Mourinho’s outlook was bleak when his Chelsea team lost 1-3 to Liverpool on Saturday October 31, their third home defeat so far this season, but to add to his woes, the lawyers of the former team doctor, Gibraltar-born Eva Carneiro, have also advised the club that she intends to make a claim for ‘constructive dismissal’.

Milk not good for dogs UNDIGESTED lactose provokes an upset stomach in no time AT one time fish was thought to be a major cause of skin disease in cats. Now we have all come to realise that the flea is the main culprit when it comes to skin irritation in cats and dogs. However, not many pet owners are aware that our pets suffer food allergies which can cause dermatological discomfort. In fact, according to Nigel
Taylor the Express vet, 1 per cent of all skin problems in cats and dogs are caused by dietary allergies. Allergic reactions may be triggered in minutes, hours or days. Once an allergy to a protein is established, sensitivity is often lifelong. Dogs are mostly sensitive to beef and milk, while cats often do not get on with beef, milk or fish. Some dogs can digest the
lactose in cow’s milk. Give a pet dog or cat milk and the undigested lactose provokes an upset stomach in no time. This is not a true allergy but demonstrates how sensitive to certain foods pets can be. Stop the milk and your pet’s life will look up immediately. Most pets will react in some way to incorrect feeding and apart from allergic reactions one can expect flatulence, inconsistent stool quality and large smelly motions. Incorrect feeding can cause failure to put on weight and certainly if the balance of the food is not correct a display of hyperactivity or indeed low activity can result. Most animals can be assessed by their coat and skin vitality. There is always a possibility that the protein is being

SCRATCHING: A possible sign of an allergic reaction. utilised for energy with a subsequent loss of health and vitality. Ritualistic scratching and licking could well indicate that there is an allergic reaction to the food and the eating of grass, twigs and roots sometimes is an
indication that the food is not being digested properly. Tissue stealing and fibre based destruction could be another indication that there is a craving for fibre to help the digestive process.
CATS can be very similar to us. Once you have gained the trust of a cat, you have a friend for life. By following these five basic tips, you should have a healthy and happy cat. 1. Cat Naps Cats sleep between 13 and 16 hours a day. They like having a warm and comfortable place to curl up in, even if that is on your bed, in an open linen closet. 2. You are what you eat applies to cats too Poor nutrition leads to health problems. Look for a cat food that lists meat as the first ingredient. Cats are carnivores and must have meat in their diets. 3. Good grooming While cats groom themselves it is important to brush them. Make it a ritual. 4. Cats like clean litter boxes Ever notice that as soon as you clean the litter box, they want to use it? I can’t say that I blame them. No one likes a dirty bathroom! Use a dust-free litter that’s free of harmful chemicals, additives and synthetic scents. 5. Playtime Playtime is when you bond, and cats get a lot of mental stimulation and exercise from playing.

Type 2 diabetes
WRIST PAIN: Carpal tunnel is when one of the nerves in your wrist gets compressed by the structure it runs through.
Carpal tunnel and migraines – both a pain in the neck? I’VE spoken about both of these conditions before (articles, research and more information on our blog – www.TheBodyworksClinic.com/blog) and the difficulty in getting a good resolution to both, but there is a common cause to both conditions, one which is often ignored. New research published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons shows that “patients with carpal tunnel syndrome are more than twice as likely to have migraine headaches.” The study then poses the question: “Could migraine indicate a higher future risk of carpal tunnel syndrome or vice versa?” The simple answer? Yes, but
By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com not for the reason you think. Carpal tunnel This is when one of the NERVES in your wrist gets compressed by the structure (the carpal tunnel) that it runs through. Symptoms include: • Tingling and/or numbness in the hand • Weakness in the hand These symptoms are common symptoms of nerve issues, but the key point to remember
is that these symptoms can be caused by a problem ANYWHERE along the nerve. And every nerve starts in the neck. It is quite difficult to compromise the carpal tunnel but it is very easy to compromise the neck. If you are getting carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms in both wrists, it is even more likely to originate in the neck. So you can have the best surgeon in the world, be receiving the best carpal tunnel treatment and make absolutely no progress. Because you are ignoring the root of the problem. Migraines Recent research demonstrates that migraines are a NERVE issue (with a dollop of brain chemistry). Not a blood
supply issue or a food issue. The three nerves involved in migraines are the trigeminal, occipital and brainstem. And all three run through... the neck. By treating the neck and removing the pressure on the nerves, you reduce the pain, severity and frequency of migraines. A simple connection So if you have two issues, both rooted in nerve issues from the neck, is it any surprise that patients commonly have both? For more information about carpal tunnel and migraine please check out our blog – www.TheBodyworksClinic.com /blog or contact us on 952 883 151.
SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. DEAR Doctor, I’m a 50-year-old woman who has just been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. I’m a little overweight but have never eaten many sweets. Can I do anything to fix it or will I need insulin? Dear patient, Diabetes is a chronic illness which overweight and obese people are more likely to develop, regardless of how many sweets or cakes they eat. Usually it can be kept under control with pills, daily exercise and diet and insulin is kept for the most severe cases. -So will I be on a diet for the rest of my life? -Yes. You will have to learn to follow a balanced diet as this is an important part of treating diabetes. -Will I have to stop drinking alcohol too? -You can drink two glasses of beer or wine (preferably red) but stronger drinks should be left for special occasions. -I’ve heard it’s hereditary. Will my kids get it ? -There is an inherited genetic predisposition, yet weight is a more important factor. It’s rare for people who aren’t overweight to
develop this type of diabetes. -I’ve heard diabetes can lead to other health problems. What are they and how can I avoid them? -Type 2 diabetes is a chronic illness which can cause inflammation of the arteries leading to eyesight and kidney problems, affect nerves and increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Reduce these risks by keeping up treatments, diet and exercise to control your diabetes. You should also stop smoking and keep an eye on your cholesterol and blood pressure levels. A specialist in internal medicine can help you control all these factors. -I didn’t notice any symptoms before my diagnosis. Are there any warning signs? -There are often no initial symptoms . When they do appear they can range from a dry mouth, extreme tiredness, frequent urination and infections to those of complications such as a heart attack or stroke. If you feel something is amiss consult your specialist in internal medicine.

Skin - the largest organ in the human body, so it is important to look after it CLINICA PICASSO is a specialist clinic, fully conversant with skin diseases and their treatment
HUMAN skin has a size of almost two square metres and it is the largest organ of the human body. Hair, nails, sebaceous glands and sweat glands all are part of the skin. Our skin covers almost our entire body and therefore has a lot of jobs to master: Protection against all kinds of injuries; Regulation of body temperature; Protection from UV radiation; Defence against all kinds of infections from outside micro-organisms such as viruses, bacteria and fungi. Besides its defensive role, the skin also serves as the border between the inside of our body and our environment. We can call it an organ of communication; we explore our surroundings with our sense of touch, we feel tem-
perature, skin receptors give off painful warning signals when we are in danger. Communication also means that our appearance gives signals to other people: the length, structure and colour of our hair; the colour and texture of our skin; the wrinkles on our face; our smell and more, lead others to almost instinctively form a definitive picture of us. Many phrases show the bond between the skin and the psyche: - To jump out of one’s skin - To have thick or thin skin - To get under one’s skin - Beauty is only skin deep... and many more. Of course, everybody is able to make a personal assessment of their skin condition. We normally feel very

early if something is wrong because of burning, itching, pain, or change of appearance. But there are a number of dermatitis and other skin diseases for which it is very important to have an early consultation
with a qualified dermatologist. In the case of melanoma with metastasis, your very survival can depend on an early consultation with a skin specialist. Over the years, we have seen an enormous increase in
the incidence of skin cancers, so it is important to have a periodic skin check. In the case of British, Irish and all Northern Europeans that have come to live on the Costa del Sol, they should be checked twice per year as the increased exposure to the intense Iberian sun raises skin cancer rates to the same as those living in New Zealand and Australia, which statistically have the highest skin cancer rates in the world. Skin cancer does not burn. It does not itch nor cause pain. It just grows and spreads in its pathologic way. The prognosis is highly related to our early diagnosis and the following removal. Dr Kuhn is a specialist in dermatology. Originally from Germany, he was the senior
consultant at the Department of Dermatology at the University of Ulm and also the head of a large association of dermatologists in Bavaria. Dr Kuhn treats all diseases of the skin, hair and nails: infections, inflammatory diseases like psoriasis or eczema, benign and malignant skin tumours, allergic disorders like food allergy.

I AM taking a week’s holiday in the UK, which means that my BuddyFit group are being left to their own devices. I am interested to see what they will do with regards to their daily exercise over the next seven days. Amusingly, I have a WhatsApp BuddyFit Group chat set up and I am viewing the messages that they are sending to each other whilst I am away. I am not sure if they know I can see that they are going for runs together on the paseo and arranging to keep some kind of exercise going amongst them. I can also see who is ducking out!! I feel it is crucial to have this support when you are trying to commit to an exercise or diet routine. I have found that training people in a small group can have a major advantage over 1-1 personal training with individuals.
• People like to be around others aspiring to the same goals. • They are less likely to miss their class sessions. • They are less likely to sabotage themselves when they see others are doing well. Whilst I am in the UK, I am catching up with past clients who have become friends. I left them over a year ago after training some of them for over six years. I did 1-1 training with them. The only support they had was ME as their trainer. Some of them have taken the bull by the horns and gone on to do half marathons and various fitness events. Other older clients have fallen back and found it harder to keep up the commitment to their fitness plans without the push from yours truly. I know that if I had these clients training together in a group they would be more likely to get back on track and succeed. Therefore, I believe My Group Training Method is crucial and adds real value to people’s lives when they are more than aware that they should be maintaining their health.
THE design features of your kitchen could be ruining your diet and encouraging bad eating habits. That’s the belief of one professor from Cornell University, USA, who is an expert on how the design of houses affects how we eat. The author of ‘Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life’, believes there are some simple tricks to help you stay slim: Out of sight If food is left in sight on kitchen worktops you see it and automatically think you are hungry and want it; food kept in cupboards is out of sight and out of mind. Contrasting plates Try and serve food on plates that are different colours to the food you serve. For example, if eating a pasta with tomato

Remove left-overs
Remove temptation to overeat. If remaining food is left on the table diners are more likely to have seconds, rather than if the food is left in the kitchen. It is believed the average person makes a staggering 200 food decisions a day without even realising.
BREAKING THE HABIT: 25.7 per cent of those surveyed said they had quit smoking.
Number of regular smokers declines MEN were found to be the most common daily smokers THE number of daily smokers in Spain has declined in the past five years, from 26.2 per cent in 2009 to 23 per cent in 2014, according to data from the latest European Health Survey, published by the National Statistics Institute. In addition, 2.4 per cent of the those questioned claimed to be occasional smokers, 25.7 per cent said they had quit and nearly 50 per cent had never smoked. Men are the most common daily smokers with 35.1 per cent of men in the 25 to 34 age group being a regular smoker and 185 per cent of young people aged
15 to 24 smoked. The regions with the highest percentage of daily smokers are Extremadura (25.6 per cent), Murcia (25.6 per cent) and Andalucia (24.4 per cent. The survey, which is designed to provide information about the assessment of general health, in order to plan and evaluate actions on health, also shows that 71 per cent of the population aged 15 and over value their health as ‘good’ or ‘very good’. This percentage is similar to that of 2009 (70.9per cent).

15 of 28 EU countries are bitterly opposed to Germany’s new policies GERMANY is pushing for ‘permanent and binding’ EU quotas for ‘sharing’ refugees Nora Johnson

GERMANY is now pushing for ‘permanent and binding’ EU quotas for ‘sharing’ hundreds of thousands of refugees. This will involve new European powers replacing some national authority over border control, and probably a special EU-wide levy to fund the new policies. But up to 15 of 28 EU countries are bitterly opposed. (Britain’s not involved.) Nobody in Europe would have an issue with Angela Merkel doing this within Germany’s own borders, either for moral reasons, or to plug a potential population deficit in its active workforce over the next 25 years. Imposing this on other countries,
BIG CHANGES: It’s high stakes stuff and will change the EU forever. however, surely can’t be justified as such decisions should only be taken by individual states themselves since it would otherwise be a significant violation of national sovereignty. If EU
states continue to oppose this, it’ll be interesting to see whether Germany can push it through regardless. It’s hard to tell if this is another brick in the wall of the grand EU pro-
ject or another brick out of it. Either way, it’s high stakes stuff and will change the EU forever. It’s soon going to be hard to tell what sort of EU Britain will be staying in or leaving.
Talk about a moving target... As for the UK, its doors have been open since Blair opened them some 18 years ago - precisely the reason most now want them closed again. Dr Merkel really will be more successful at tearing apart the EU than Cameron or anyone else.

Anthem is lost for words Doing the political splits
Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
JUNTS PEL SI and CUP will totter hand-in-hand together along the road to independence. Junts pel Si was the cross-party proindependence candidature that fought – but didn’t quite win – Cataluña’s regional elections last October. They now need radical separatist party CUP to shore them up but the price now includes declaring unilateral independence. The Junts pel Si and CUP pact could herald the beginning of a split with the rest of Spain. But the Sept em ber 27 r esul t s i ndi cat e t hat i t would be the beginning of a split inside Cataluña, too.
SPAIN’S jaunty national anthem has no words and that’s the best thing about it. It is the old Marcha Real, first mentioned in 1761, adopted by Carlos III in 1770 and, apart from two 19th century interludes, has been used as the national anthem ever since. A Madrid composer-musician Victor Lago has got up a petition to add words and once he’s collected 500,000 signatures it can be presented as a Popular Legislative Initiative in the national parliament. The anthem’s wordlessness treads on no toes, offends no sensibilities and curses no foes. With luck Lago will fail to collect the signatures.
Taking a dive PABLO IGLESIAS, leader of Podemos, has resigned his seat in the European parliament. He claims to be disillusioned by the EU for its handling of the refugee crisis
but his disappointment could be closer to home. Podemos, now falling back in the party ratings, is losing its appeal and has been overtaken by another fledgling party, Ciudadanos. The European elections and the party’s five Euro-MPs were Iglesias’ springboard
and anyone using a springboard comes down to earth eventually.
Give it a go THE PP is selling the Mariano Rajoy experience as a prudent reason for re-electing
him instead of the PSOE’s Pedro Sanchez or Ciudadanos’ Albert Rivera. How much ice will that cut with the public? Voters know that presidents are notorious for relying on expensive special advisers so they’re prepared to give the novices and their gurus a chance, regardless.

Art meets dance ON Friday November 6, Teatro Echegaray, Málaga, El Ajuar is a show that has arisen from the collaboration between choreographer Teresa Nieto and painter María Bueno. The former is one of the most important choreographers in Spain. During her career she has won awards such as the National Dance Award, the Villa de Madrid Awards and the Max Awards for Performing Arts. She has run her own company since 1990. The show comprises a dialogue between Teresa Nieto’s dance and María Bueno’s painting, inviting the audience to enter the inner world of the two artists.

Manilva author may have discovered second Sphinx at Giza Pyramids A MANILVA author and paranormal explorer has spent the last 20 years searching and believes that he has discovered the whereabouts of the lost Ark of the Covenant and is also certain that he has uncovered the Riddle of the Sphinx; there is a second one waiting to be unearthed. When Napoleon visited the Sphinx in 1798–99, all that was visible was its shoulders and head and it wasn’t until 1817 that a dig uncovered its chest, with the rest of the body following in later years. Gerry Cannon met a number of Egyptian officials, and many archaeologists in Cairo, and he was given permission to enter the Khafre (the name of the Pharaoh on which the Sphinx’s face is said to be based) Pyramid after it was closed to the public. Before leaving, he suddenly and unaccountably turned to the
SECOND DISCOVERY: Gerry Cannon believes he has uncovered the Riddle of the Sphinx. General Director of Giza Pyramids, saying: “When I return, I’m going to tell you something about the Sphinx!” As he left the pyramid, he gazed in the direction of the Sphinx, thinking that there is
more than one Sphinx as the Chinese Imperial guardian lions that guard temples are in pairs and pairs of sphinxes exist elsewhere in Egypt. North of the Sphinx is a large mound which is current-
ly unexplored and this could be the location of a possible buried second Sphinx. Between the paws of the Sphinx is an ancient plaque with two sphinxes carved at its top. A close examination
shows that they are different to each other. The left-hand sphinx’s face looks male and the right-hand face looks female, which apparently nobody noticed before. The Russian archaeologist,
Dr. Kormysheva, spent years researching part of the mound but never obtained permission to dig in the area in question. According to Mr Cannon, a sensing company sent him an image of the relevant area of the mound that showed signs of something under it. For more information contact Gerry Cannon on arkquest2002@yahoo.com and perhaps a university or other organisation may become involved in getting the mound investigated using ground-penetrating radar. If signs of a sphinx-shaped abnormality under it are shown, then an application can be submitted for a permit to carry out a detailed excavation. Details on Gerry Cannon and his search for the Ark of the Covenant can be read at http://www.gerrysarkquest. com.

Spreading the Halloween spirit in the goriest of fashions
Testing play for the Salon Varietes
BENALMADENA was the scene of some terrifying sights
IN 1998, the Danish film, Festen, was the first of the so called Dogme films, a movement begun by the Danish film directors such as Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg. Its goal was to ‘purify’ filmmaking and rescue it from ‘bourgeois romanticism’. Salon Varietes Theatre is taking the challenging task of presenting the stage version with its 14 character cast to a Spanish audience, but be warned due to the explicit language and scenes of an adult and sensitive nature the production is suitable for over 15s only. The play which was described by the Daily Telegraph as a seriously weird mix of Hamlet and The Last Supper will run from November 20 to 24, nightly at 8pm except Sunday at 7pm. For tickets, contact the box office open from 11am until 2.30pm on 952 47 45 42 or view at www.salonvarietestheatre .com
SPANISH culture is grasping the Halloween tradition and becoming more involved each year. This year in Benalmadena, a veritable blood feast of activities were enjoyed by all. Youth Councillor Ana Scherman was happy to be involved in organising activities in Benalmadena. “There was something for everyone,” she said. Parque Innove was one of the central points with games and activities for children aged six to 12 on Saturday afternoon. There was a BMX exhibition at the Innova skate park on Saturday afternoon. But the most popular event seemed to be in Plaza de la Mezquita, which hosted a terrifying House of Terror on Saturday 31 and Sunday 1, which was open from 8pm to 1.30am. The terrifying sanatorium was full of creatures of the night. On Saturday afternoon there was also a “dress up for and join in” zombie walk which everyone was invited to. Finally the Youth Area in Benalmadena Pueblo had a children’s party with face painting and other activities on Saturday afternoon, which ended with a costume and cake competition.

We will tell you what you have to do in case you have not yet submitted this form in the past and what the possible consequences are of not doing so going forward. 3. The important changes in Spanish taxes (and it is not all that bad!): Income Tax, Savings Tax, Inheritance Tax and the implication for residents and nonresidents. 4. The new Spanish law with regards to Wills which applies since the 17th of
August and the importance of making sure that your estate ends up in the hands of the beneficiaries of your choice. Drinks and tapas will be catered for.

This second series is based on a 37-kilometre mountain race taking place in two unique areas in the city of Málaga: the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro Castle, and the Montes de Málaga Natural Park. The event will begin at 8:30 from Calle Cervantes, opposite ‘Casona del Parque’, a spectacular early 20th century building where the headquarters of the Málaga City Council are located. After setting off from this city landmark, the runners will head towards the two historical sites mentioned above.

It has been created and choreographed and is now performed by Xavi Dorca and Xavi Estrada and co-produced by Olot Principal Theatre. It’s a show full of humour in movement, making use of clichés
and fearlessly mixing artistic styles. The story has a notable competitive spirit, although we don’t know whether they compete against themselves, against each other or, simply, against all the adversities that life places before them. The protagonists discover, as time goes by, that the best way to deal with everything is to work together.

Gardening Corner By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.
DECIDING what plant to plant where, next to what, is a key part of the process of what we call painting with plants in a chapter of the book ‘Your Garden in Spain.’ There are various benefits of close co-planting several plants of the same variety and colour. We discuss this issue in this week’s column. ‘Just three blocks of three varieties of sages give a colourful autumn display’. CREATING A MASS OF COLOUR Many annuals, perennials and shrubs look much better when several plants of the same variety and colour are grouped compared to mixing individual plants of various varieties and colour. This is especially useful in large gardens where several adjacent large blocks of differently coloured plants can be seen from a distance. The idea also works in small gardens as illustrated in the photo. GROUND COVER Plant five versus one ground
WIND BREAKS Boundary and internal hedges can be wonderful windbreaks if plants are planted just 25 centimetres versus 50 centimetres apart. If planted further apart they leave gaps through which winds can accelerate and damage smaller plants inside the hedges.

It’s easy when you know how... REMODELLING a bathroom doesn’t have to be rocket science, a few basic tips can make a world of difference to your project. Utilise your space If you can, and have the available space, a freestanding bath is always a cost effective luxury feature. No matter if it’s eggshaped, rectangular or oval, positioning is the key. If you are unable to locate the tub in the centre of the room, directly under a window is the best alternative.
However, if you elevate it on a slightly raised plinth it will really stand out. Keep in line Take a while to study the main lines that strike you in a room, whether it is a raked ceiling, a shower cubicle or tile lines, and follow that theme with any furniture or fittings you add. Oppositely, to lessen the effect of extraneous lines you wish to lose, you should choose a grout colour that blends with your tiles.

Splash Pools SL - Free help and advice for swimming pool owners SPLASH POOLS MIJAS SL have had a large shop and office situated at the entrance to Urbanisation Doña Pilar, just below the Restaurant Valparaiso on the Carretera de Mijas, since 1999. Parking is available in front of the shop which makes collecting your chemicals, etc, very easy. They stock all chemicals, equipment and accessories such as pool heaters, salt water chlorinators, automatic and manual covers. They offer a FREE test on your pool water to check if you have the chemical balance correct – this is very important to maintain a healthy and sparkling pool. If the pool has gone green or you have any other problems they will advise you of the best course of action - just take them a small sample of the pool water. A simple test strip will also check if your cyanuric levels are high and you need to change some of the water in your pool. Splash stock a product equivalent to the

popular Jolly gel – pool clarifier. They have an excellent leak detecting
service which involves helium and pressure tests and then give you a report on
the cause of the leak and the cost to repair it. A report will be made which will include a cost for the repairs. Splash have a technical department able to carry out all repairs and installations on any pool problems quickly and efficiently. The pool maintenance team are on hand to take the stress and bother out of pool cleaning. A monthly contract is available to suit your needs.

Hydrangeas are perfect for summer and autumn FLOWERS light up the garden with a mix of colours HYDRANGEAS are good flowers for both the summer and autumn and will light up the garden with their golds, bright blues, rosy pinks, clean whites and lavender, all of which can sometimes be found on the same plant. They do well in coastal areas and can bloom even in salty sea breezes. They are also durable in most soil conditions and you can see them decorate heavy clay soils as much as sandy earth. One of the most popular choices for this flower is the hydrangea macrophylla which really comes into its own in the summer. The species has two groups, one is the hortensias (or ‘mopheads’) which have distinctive large spherical male flowers, and the lacecaps have compacted flower heads, with female blos-
soms along with the larger male blossoms. These flowers grow nicely in spotted shade and while they also respond well to the sun, the heads can lose colour in constant exposure to strong sunlight. Macrophylla hydrangeas don’t need pruning back until they have been there for a very long time. All you really need to do is to take away dead stems and blooms to protect the condition of the plant and this can be carried out in any season. These autumn favourites grow at a moderate rate with minimum maintenance at a height of up to 6 feet with a spread of up to 10 feet. DURABLE FLOWERS: You can see them decorate heavy clay soils as much as sandy earth.
Big ideas for a small kitchen IF your kitchen could be described as ‘cosy’, then you can look at a couple of simple ways to open up more space and make it seem more expansive. Magnetic strips on the walls can take away the need for a cumbersome knife block and clear the counter of cutlery. A pot rack also gives you a place for cookware if cabinet space is sparse. Another great idea is an over t he st ove cut t i ng boar d. The stove top becomes a chopping surface and you can easily put it away when you need to use the stove. Alternatively you can put the board across the kitchen sink and enj oy your new count er space.

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) At 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.

LEGALLY SPEAKING
DGT to test new traffic drones
5 - 11 November 2015 / Costa del Sol
Do they think that we’re stupid? Mike Senker
In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man
GERMANY: Drones are already being tested in other EU countries. ALREADY ground-breaking in their method of policing the roads from the air, the DGT has contracted a Spanish company to create an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, or ‘drone,’ to monitor traffic. With many of their helicopters already fitted with the pinpoint accurate Pegasus radar system, the DGT already use their eyes in the sky for speed detection as well as traffic flow and this latest development could revolutionise the skies once again. However, the current legislation does not allow for the use of drones to monitor traffic, as the pilot of the drone has to be able to maintain visual contact with the aircraft, and so monitoring could only be done on a local level. That said, it is intended that the first prototypes will take to the air in the
summer of 2016, equipped with a camera to go about monitoring the conventional road network. There are numerous benefits to using a drone; it is much cheaper to fly than a conventional aircraft and offers a faster response. In addition to monitoring traffic flow, it is hoped that they could be used in emergency and incident response, following exceptional loads, fault detection and (eventually) enforcement. Drones are already in use by numerous police forces around the globe, often for monitoring purposes, and in America there was a public outcry in 2013 when California’s highways suddenly saw warning signs about law enforcement by drones, although on this occasion it was part of an art project and not real.

Is there a time limit for AGM Minutes? The AGM of our community took place last April. I was unable to attend. Now, more than seven months later, I have still not received a copy of the Minutes of the meeting. I ask the administrator when I will get
No, it is not too late to protest. The law says that those members who were not present at the AGM have 90 days from the time they receive the Minutes to protest a decision. The law does not specify a time limit for sending
them and he casually replied that they are coming. Is there any time limit for the AGM Minutes to be sent out? If something happened at the meeting that I am not happy with, is it now too late for me to object? I.M. (Balearics)
David Searl You and the Law in Spain
out the Minutes, but it requires the President and
Secretary to produce them and sign them within 10 days of the meeting. A delay of months is not merely unacceptable, it is outrageous. It is also dangerous, as decisions may be put into effect before those not present are even aware of it.

OK this week there are a couple of random things that need sorting out. Let’s start with alteration charges. I go to buy a suit. I look in the window and there it is - the very item of apparel I’m looking for. I go in the store and try it on. Now it’s not a cheap suit. In fact it’s very expensive. Well I think it is anyway. The trousers and sleeves are too long but I say ‘OK I’ll take it’ and the salesman says fine that will be €xxx and €40 for the alteration. Woah pal what? I’m not paying €40 for the alterations! Why would I want to pay €xxx for a suit that doesn’t fit me? If you want me to buy that suit you have to make it fit me. It’s not my problem, it’s yours. Now I know that there is massive profit margin in the top end of menswear and it would be common sense to take into account that very few people are a perfect match for their suit sizes, so just work the alteration
price into the suit price. It is different if you are buying something that is in a sale and has 60 per cent discount, but at full price not a chance of me paying one penny more than the ticket price. Changing the subject – what on earth has happened to product labelling? Do they think we are all raving bonkers? Here are some I have seen: On a box of eggs: ‘Allergy advice: this product contains eggs.’ Err really? On a fancy dress superman outfit: ‘wearing this outfit does not enable you to fly.’ Honestly, I’m not making this up. On a packet of peanuts: ‘Warning: this product contains nuts’. Please don’t laugh! It drives me crazy! Why do they do it? How about this? Heinz Ketchup instructions: ‘Put on food.’ How could I have ever worked that out on my own? Shampoo bottle: ‘Do not shampoo your eyes.’ And this on a bottle of aspirin: ‘Do not take if you are allergic to aspirin.’ I would love to know why they put these most obvious warnings. Is there a government office for this? Or is it left to the legal department to cover themselves? Whoever it is you may all be idiots, but we aren’t.

The new Renault ZOE is powered almost entirely by renewable energy, and in Scotland, a 10 strong fleet of 100 per cent electric Renault vehicles can now be hired, on an hourly or daily basis, by residents and visitors to the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. A new six turbine wind farm to power the Outer Hebrides domestic electricity requirements was opened on October 9, and will be the mainstay of this project to deliver a totally electric driving solution to the town.

The new Mini Convertible: a bit of a time machine THE market launch of the new Mini Convertible with its three engine variants sees the latest edition of this iconic car continue to lead the small car market. Akin to Doctor Who from the popular long-running BBC sci-fi series, this iconic slice of British history has been reincarnated many times, and now bears little resemblance to the original from the 1960s… or does it? Even though the latest version is a technical marvel with features like a power roof, electric windows, LED light clusters, neon beams, TwinPower Turbo Technology, Steptronic Power transmission, Stability Control and Dynamic Traction, rear view camera and Intelligent Emergency Call, it still has the lovable qualities we grew up with and you can still see it’s a Mini. Unlike the original though, the open-top driving fun with four seats combined with op-
timised qualities in terms of sportiness, efficiency, comfort, functionality, safety, connectivity and quality of both materials and workmanship, is a credit to BMW, and unlike anything experienced in the old Morris. The up-to-date interpretation of the classic Mini with design features like circular headlamps and rear lights with chrome surrounds, centre clocks, hexagonal radiator grille, black peripheral body surround and indicator elements have been kept. But in comparison to the
original Mini the interior space of the new generation truly is a Tardis. Squeezing more than four people into an old 1960s’ Mini was quite a task. However, the latest model is larger with increased dimensions over the previous model by 98mm in length, 44mm in width and 1mm in height; it also has a longer wheelbase (extended 28mm) and a larger track width (by 42mm at the front, and 34mm at the rear). Also, the boot has been expanded to 215 litres.

Dirt Rally race will take place in Malaga province IT is the seventh and last stage of the Spanish championship By Steve Walsh
VICENTE DEL BOSQUE: Spanish Manager
Spain v England at Alicante A VERY strange decision, welcomed by some, has seen the Spanish Football Association move the friendly football match between Spain and England due to be played on November 13, from Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu stadium to the Rico Pérez Stadium in Alicante, home of third division Hercules. The decision was made as they feared that Spanish player Gerard Piquet would be booed mercilessly as he was by home supporters when Spain played Slovakia which they won 2-0 and have since qualified for the 2016 EUFA Cup finals. With a capacity of only 30,000 against the Bernabeus 85,000 there will be a number of fans who won’t be able to obtain tickets and this was highlighted by the fact that when 7,200 were put on sale via the internet on October 22, they all sold out within two hours, although additional tickets will be put on sale at the stadium on November 2. Many fans of both teams will finally stand a chance of what promises to be a good match without having to travel hundreds of miles.
THE final date of the Spanish Dirt Rally Championship will be held in Malaga province on November 6 and 7 with a route running through Mijas, Coin, Cartama and Almogia. It is the seventh and last stage of the Spanish championship and will also close the 2015 Andalucian Championship calendar. Both competitions, with places still to be decided, will bring almost 50 drivers to the race, proving how popular Malaga is for these races. Drivers expected to turn up include Xevi Pons and Elba Correa Sandra Montoto from the Mujer y Motor (Women and motors) team, an initiative launched by the Sports Board and the Royal Spanish Automobile Association. The programme starts on Friday 6 with an inspection of

Technical checks will take place between 4.30pm and 6pm at the La Trocha shopping centre on the Coin-Cartama road, then drivers will travel to Mijas where the opening ceremony will be held at 8.30pm, putting an end to the day’s events. On Saturday morning the programme starts at 8am and the day will end with an
award ceremony in Mijas at 7.30pm. More than 150 people including Guardia Civil officers and Civil Protection volunteers will be on hand during the event to ensure everyone stays safe, and the organisers have urged spectators to find high spots to watch from as they are safer and provide better views.
