War of words over Gibraltar SPANISH vessels entering Gibraltar’s waters may find themselves being shot at, warned the Rock’s Chief Minister Fabian Picardo.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme he called for the Royal Navy to send ‘more senior assets’ to Gibraltar. And in a line sure to enflame Spanish passions, he said

Spanish ships could be seen as ‘terrorists’. The interview came after the Gibraltar Government condemned the sustained incursion into British Gibraltar Territorial Waters by Spanish state survey vessel RV Ramon Margalef.

The government takes a very serious view of this development which it says “represents yet

another escalation of Spain’s campaign against Gibraltar.”

The latest incursion lasted about 21 hours with the vessel remaining in British waters overnight and ignoring Royal Navy warnings to leave. The vessel came within 250 metres of the entrance to Gibraltar Harbour and sailed in close proximity to other ships at anchor.

OVEMBER 25 is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

The day aims to raise awareness of the fact that women are subject to rape, domestic abuse and other forms of violence.

The date is based on the 1960 assassination of the three Mirabal sisters, political activists in the Dominican Republic, which was ordered by Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo.

In December 1999, the date received its official United Nations (UN) resolution.

Events are held throughout many parts of the world on this day, including Spain, to express rejection of violence against women.

In the past decade, more than 700 women have died in Spain at the hands of their partners or former partners, and according to the government, 600,000 women every year are the victims of domestic violence, although there are only 140,000 complaints on average every year against the abusers.

There is not a unique profile for victims of gender violence.

Amongst the 700 who have died, there were foreign women who had no family or friends in Spain, disabled women, and those with little education, but there were also those with university degrees, members of political

One bought the drugs, transported them and organised the deliveries. The partner of the leader of this group took the money. The second group dealt in hashish and cocaine and provided the drugs.

Several others were not part of the gang, but collaborated with them, bringing drugs to the Costa del Sol via the coast.

The arrests took place in 2007, and police seized several quantities of cocaine, as well as weapons, vehicles and documents.

SPA TIME: Boost your immune system and revitalise face and body, ready for the busy Christmas season.

Marbella Club Spa’s New Immune System Boosting VITAMIN RITUALS! B

rrr!!! It’s cold!!! It’s that funny time of year again when you leave your house in the morning wearing your winter wardrobe - remove most of it by midday - only to put it all back on by late afternoon. This deceptive kind of weather where the temperature fluctuates between extreme cold to very warm is just the sort that weakens our immune systems, makes us feel sluggish and particularly vulnerable to catching bugs. It also plays havoc with our skin, leaving our complexion dry, patchy and lacklustre.

That’s why it’s very important to now take a little extra care of yourself and give your body the support it needs to defend against the adverse effects of changeable weather.

Taking multivitamins can be a very effective way of maintaining a healthy glow inside and out, but some of the most potent immune system boosting and rejuvenating vitamins like Vitamin C have a tendency to pass straight through us when taken orally. Thankfully there is a way of keeping this essential vitamin in our system longer and making its beneficial properties up to 20 times more effective.

With this insider knowledge, the Marbella Club Thalasso Spa team has prepared a special revitalising Vitamin Ritual

that will leave you feeling on top form and give your complexion that dewy, red-carpet glow it needs for the upcoming busy Christmas social calendar. The secret to this Vitamin Ritual lies in the skilful massaging hands of the therapist blended with BABOR’s cutting-edge cosmeceutical youth-regenerating product ‘Ultimate Vitamin C Concentrated Booster’ - which awakens the complexion, stimulates collagen production and helps re-energise the immune system. The results are astonishing. In just over an hour your skin regains a radiant, youthful-looking appearance, the depth of lines and wrinkles is visibly reduced and you leave feeling on top of the world.

Sneak Metro preview Shoplifting charges brought NEARLY 7,000 people queued up to get a look at Malaga’s new Metro stations.

Five stations opened their doors in La Luz, Ciudad de la Justicia, Portada Alta, Barberela and La Paz. Two lines in a U shape will connect Teatinos and Cruz de Humilladero (L-1) and Carretera de Cadiz (L-2) to Vialia.

People had the chance to get a

preview of the modern stations where trains with a capacity of 226 passengers will stop.

Described as ‘elegant,’ the stations are decorated with facsimiles of Picasso paintings.

But answers to questions like when will the service start, how often trains will run and the price of tickets have yet to be answered.

Community service to pay rent THE Junta de Andalucia regional government has proposed community work for people who are placed in social housing and can’t pay the rent.

The councillor of Public Works and Housing, Elena Cortes, has said the plan will be launched in Los Palacios in Sevilla, and Pico Aneto, in Cordoba.

There are more than 80,000 social houses in 550 towns in Andalucia. The aim is for none of the families in the houses to be evicted because they have too many debts and no money to pay.

SPECTACULAR: Queen’s Symphonic Rhapsody.

Golden age of rock recalled in Malaga A SPECTACULAR show at Malaga’s Cervantes Theatre took the audience back to the golden age of Rock legends Queen.

The show, called Queen Symphonic Rhapsody, was all about about Freddie Mercury and Brian May’s band.

It featured three singers, a rock band, a soprano, a chorus and a classical orchestra.

The contagious songs ‘We will rock you,’ ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ ‘We are the champions’ and ‘I want it all’ were

particularly well received during the two performances at 7pm and 10pm.

There were more than 50 musicians on stage, combining electric rock with the lyricism of classical music, backed by an outstanding set of lights, sounds and projections.

Tommy Heart, Michele McCain, Graciela Armendariz and Pablo Perea starred in the show which was directed by producer and director Juanfran Senabre.

POLICE have arrested five women for shoplifting from several supermarkets and shopping centres.

The women, aged between 22 and 32, are suspected of 11 thefts of products valued at €5,000. They were arrested when leaving a court in

Estepona where they were answering similar charges in a separate case. The investigations started at the beginning of summer, when the police noticed a pattern in a series of thefts from food and cosmetics shops all over the Malaga area.

‘Time to find solution to illegal homes’

H

ELPING expatriates facing the threat of having their properties demolished is at the top of the agenda of Britain’s new ambassador to Spain.

But Simon Manley, a 46-yearold father of three daughters, admitted the embassy is essentially powerless to stop the bulldozers.

“It is not in our power to change decisions, but we can talk to people who do have that power.”

He added that he has already spoken to representatives of the Junta de Andalucia regional government and the mayor of Malaga about the situation in which many innocent homeowners have found themselves.

Several ‘illegal’ homes in the region have already been demolished, the latest two owned

by British couples who had bought the homes in good faith.

Many homes have been

declared illegal by the Junta de Andalucia despite them having planning permission granted by the local town halls.

Mr Manley said: “Many of the stories are heart-rending. The Spanish property market is starting to show a recovery. If the authorities want to build on that then they have to address uncertainty. They have to be aware of the uncertainty people have when they hear of these awful things happening and people losing their homes.”

He added that there are solutions to the problems: “I hope they (the Spanish authorities) grab them.”

Speaking of his role as ambassador, the Oxford and Yale educated diplomat said his biggest challenge was to help boost British businesses in the country, as well as to work with the Spanish authorities on security

issues. “We have already had success with the latest ‘Unlucky 13’ Crimestoppers appeal that within hours of its announcement resulted in the capture of one man.”

He added that his background as Director Europe at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and before that in counter terrorism will stand him in good stead.

He said Britain and Spain had shared experiences in combating both domestic and Islamist terrorism, with the two worst Islamist terror attacks in Europe hitting the two countries.

And on top of that Spain and Britain are hugely important to each other with economically, Spain being Britain’s eighth largest export market.

French patient on hunger strike A FRENCH resident of Torremolinos claims to have gone on hunger strike because he is not happy with the care he has been receiving at Malaga University Hospital.

The man, in his late 60s, was admitted on October 31 and claims to have suffered a stroke, but says the treatment he is receiving is not adequate for his condition.

He is waiting for his European Health Card from France, and complains that the French Consulate is not doing its job, and that until he gets it, the hospital won’t carry out the tests he

Meanwhile, the hospital claims that the tests are not urgent and that he is being cared for in the same way as anybody else in a similar situation.

EU rules Gibraltar border checks legal THE European Commission has ruled that Spain has not violated any laws with the introduction in the summer of the tougher controls on its border with Gibraltar.

The border controls followed conflict with the Gibraltarian authorities over several concrete blocks being dumped in the Bay of Algeciras.

The EU has issued recommendations for both Spain and the UK, saying that managing the border is a constant challenge due to the high volume of traffic in a relatively small space and the rise of tobacco smuggling into Spain.

They say that authorities on both sides of the border should take measures to better control and manage the challenges.

Spain is recommended to make better use of available space on the Spanish side of the border checkpoint, be more selective in checks and exchange more information with the UK. Meanwhile, the UK is recommended to guar-antee non-systematic controls based on the risk to travellers and their belongings, improve legislation to contribute to the fight against smuggling, and exchange more information with the Spanish authorites.

They need shelter until they are found a family to give them a loving home.

Gatos y Amigos cannot provide long-term shelter for such cats at present as they have no suitable premises. This is why they are appealing to anyone who can adopt a cat to contact them.

Some people want to help but cannot take on the responsibility of permanently housing a cat - so the association offers the option of fostering a cat for whatever period volunteers can manage. If finance is a problem the association can help with vet’s bills and food.

The foster family keeps the cat in their home, feeds it, gives it affection but in the end the cat is the responsibility of the association.

Hundreds of Brits locked up for drugs HUNDREDS of British nationals are currently locked up in prisons across the globe for drug-related offences.

In Spain, consular staff dealt with over 100 drug-related arrests last year alone.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), in conjunction with the charity Prisoners Abroad, is launching a campaign to highlight the consequences of the use, possession and smuggling of drugs around the world.

In Spain offenders may, in some circumstances, be held on remand for over a year before trial. Even if released on bail, they will be unable to leave the country.

Sentences can be as long as 20 years’ imprison-ment in the case of hard drugs and up to six years and nine

months for soft drugs, with fines of up to six times the value of the drugs.

Terry Daniels was accused of smuggling a million pounds worth of cocaine from Brazil to Spain in 1997. Although her boss was caught with the drugs in his suitcase, Terry maintains she had no idea he was carrying the drugs. But a Spanish court prosecuted her on the basis of guilt by association. She served six days in prison before being granted bail, when she returned to the UK. In 2002 a police check revealed she was still wanted in Spain. She had been prosecuted in her absence and given a 10year sentence. In 2003, she was arrested on an international extradition warrant and imprisoned in Topas prison, near Salamanca, where she stayed for 19 months.

She was then given permission to serve the remainder of her sentence in the UK. Terry recently published a book, ‘Passport to Hell.’

A FRAUDSTER has been jailed for five-and-a-half years after many of her Costa Blanca victims lost their life savings in a €2million scam.

Caryn Bates, 41, and her half-brother, Matthew Sullivan, 53, who was given seven years, were sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court, Kent, UK. They conned their friends in both the UK and the Costa Blanca into handing over thousands of pounds to their bogus company, World Trading, promising high returns on their investments.

One such investor was Peter Harding. He met Caryn in 2005 when she was his neighbour in Aspe. A former bank manager, Bates spoke with Peter about a ‘fantastic investment scheme’ using the currency market. Peter said: “I made an investment and got 2.5-3 per cent back as she said I would, so I never once thought it was a scam.” Bates later left Aspe and moved to Catral.

In the course of the next five years Peter believes he invested around €140,000 including his mother’s inheritance.

Trains a strain Iberia losing out IBERIA was the third mostused airline in Spain in October, with 1.87 million passengers despite a 30 per cent drop in trade.

This pushed Air Europa into fourth place although Iberia’s accumulated figure of 11.6 million passengers during the first 10 months of the year puts it down to fourth place overall.

Low-cost airlines and the high speed train network were partially to blame for the 30 per cent drop in Iberia passengers between October 2012 and 2013, said airports’ operator AENA. The third factor was Iberia’s restructure since merging with BA in January 2011 to create IAG. Cost-

cutting measures have entailed a 15 per cent reduction in Iberian’s routes in a move to return the airline to profits.

Adding Iberia Express and Air Nostrum passengers to the equation would increase Iberia’s October quota to 2.2 million and also put it ahead of IAG in second place.

Although Ryanair lost 4 per cent of its passengers in October, it still remained in the top spot with almost 3.2 million passengers. The low-cost Irish airline has lost passengers throughout the year, AENA said, owing to its decision to reduce routes owing to higher airport charges.

Don’t call me Scrooge, but…

Loose change

If you’re broke, you’re broke.

A look at finance for females

Jane Plunkett jane.plunkett@euroweeklynews.com

IT feels like I’ve just cleansed the cobwebs off my face from Halloween, but as I strolled through the streets this week despite the warm sun there was a real feel of Christmas in the air.

Shop assistants were busy decorating windows and putting up fairy lights, while adverts are

strategically putting ideas in our heads of presents we should buy.

“Oh no, ho ho ho!” is about as much festive spirit as I could muster up.

After paying for the mortgage, various loans, the electricity, flights back to home for Christmas as well as an array of other unforeseen costs, my Christmas piggy bank savings are at an all time low. Right now - at the most expensive time of the year - I’m broke!

What if community has no legal existence?

Q. We live in a community of 12 houses. In 1997 our community was registered by the original builder in a very simple way, providing for the maintenance of the common elements. This registration was handwritten, with an official book of the minutes of the meetings.

This book was never used and has been lost. Statutes were never made and community rules now are limited to the use of the pool. Up to now we never had any problem.

But recently some houses were sold and new owners of different You and the nationalities have moved in. So my Law in Spain question is: What is the legal status

By David Searl of our community?

G B (by e-mail) A. In strict terms, your community has no legal status at all and its decisions have no legal force. A handwritten piece of paper does not constitute registration.

However, you do have statutes. If a Community of Property Owners does not make any special statutes, they are by law governed by the terms of the Law of Horizontal Property.

Second, it is possible that your builder registered the community at your nearest Property Registry. Communities are registered in a special section here because they own property. Your pool, for example, is owned by the community.

So, you may be registered without knowing it. In addition, Spanish courts have in many cases accepted the legal existence of such informal communities because of their continued functioning.

Your best course of action is to instruct a lawyer experienced in Community

affairs to help form a legal Community with powers to compel payment of fees.

Am I a total Scrooge if I suggest a ‘Cheap Christmas’ to my family?

Or will they be thinking, ‘I like the idea of that, I’m smashed too!’

This is the thing about Christmas, while it is a fun time where all the family gets together and eats and drinks their hearts out, it’s also a time of the year that makes people feel really stressed and feel guilty too.

If your brother gets you the latest iPhone, but you only get him socks, it’s mortifying. It’s a minefield deciding how much to spend on each other and no one wants to underspend, so that’s why we often spend more

than intended - for fear of looking cheap.

But if you’re broke, you’re broke. That’s the reality of the situation and considering the financial mess the world is in right now, you can be guaranteed that many family members are feeling the same pinch.

So go ahead - set down some ground rules to make Christmas more affordable this year. Try presents just for the kids, or a Secret Santa type of idea where 50 quid is spent on one nice present for one member of the family. As long as there are mince pies and a log fire a ‘Cheap Christmas’ sounds just perfect.

BUSINESS EXTRA

Eating habits are changing SPAIN’S ready-meals segment is expected to grow by 3.4 per cent a year in value terms between 2012 and 2017, making it the third-fastest growing category among food sectors.

The forecast was made in a new report issued by UK-based consumer market research company Canadean.

The expected rise has been attributed to a change in the eating habits of Spanish consumers, who are shifting to prepared meals instead of eating out.

The report also noted that Spain has been reeling under the impact of challenging economic conditions, with uncertainties surrounding the euro having further affected consumer spending.

DIJSSELBLOEM: Welcomed decision.

Spain’s clean exit from bank bailout

FINANCE ministers from Eurozone countries have given their vote of confidence to Spain after it elected to make a ‘clean break’ from a bank bailout programme.

Jeroen Dijsselbloem, President of the EU’s Eurogroup, welcomed Spain’s decision to exit the aid programme in January 2014.

Spain will be joining Ireland in making a clean break.

Spain dipped into the bailout fund to the tune of €41bn in 2012 to recapitalise banks after the property market crashed.

Speaking after a meeting of the group of finance ministers Mr Dijsselbloem said: “Both countries have always shown strong commitment towards the implementation of their programmes.

“This has shown results, as the recent developments on the financial markets have shown. The Irish and Spanish people have gone through a difficult period, but I am now confident that their efforts will pay off in the coming years.

Now these economies are back on the road to recovery.

“We fully support Spain’s decision to exit the programme. Spanish banks are now stronger, more resilient and supervision and regulation have been tightened.

SPANISH drinks producer Torres has announced plans to release a new cava in 2015 as it looks to launch a range of wines in the next five years, reports the UK’s Drinks Business Review.

The company’s move is aimed at producing a niche, premium cava with initial output of less than 5,000 cases per year.

Torres said the new wine, a blend of international and local grape varieties, will be targeted towards the Chinese market.

Dia success THE Iberian peninsula has been one of the worst affected eurozone markets, with headline retail sales dropping month after month.

But there has been one genuine success story over the past two years - Dia, a hard discounter that became an independent company in 2011 after being spun off by Carrefour.

OPINION & COMMENT

Reputation as probably the worst company in Spain!

TELEFONICA/MOVISTAR must surely be living up to their reputation as probably the worst company in Spain - yes worse than power company Sevillana/Endesa!

Their incompetence and that of their operators is world breakingly above others. The new automatic answering system has taken a turn for the worse, if that was possible.

If you don’t press the right button or say the right word it just cuts out on you. If you are lucky you may eventually get to speak to an equally confusing non electric person!

I reported a fault on my business phone number. We could not receive or make calls, yet if someone phoned in they could hear the phone ringing.

The fault was reported but nothing was done, so I called again. This time what appeared to be an intelligent person took details of my fault - again.

When I asked if they could divert incoming calls to my mobile she gave me a code - to put in to my failed phone.

I did explain that as the phone was not working it would seem to be a pointless and useless exercise.

Could you not do it from the central exchange I asked? No. Why not? Because I am unable to. Can I speak to your superior? No. I had the same argument the following morning having had no contact from the technical department.

Later the same day I phoned yet again - this time a very helpful lady arranged the divert in three minutes.

No wonder they keep all their operators in Chile or South America. It wouldn’t be safe for them to walk the streets of Madrid.

I took a photo of this stunning seascape at Aqua Amargo.

By Robyn Boutilier, Turre (Almeria) considering a dog tax (Costa del Sol Issue 1479).

There is an easy and fair way of doing this. Nationwide licences.

If licences were to be introduced here the revenue from them would more than pay for the employment of dog wardens and possibly pay for dogs homes rather than be dependent on charity. Maybe the rest of us would not have to suffer the incessant barking of so many dogs.

If owners can not afford a licence, how can they afford the expensive food these animals must have?

Mrs Joan Clinton, Palma (Mallorca)

Silly rules RE the story about communities of residents in Mijas (Costa del Sol, Issue 1480) wanting to raise a petition against the enforcement of swimming pool

legislation on older properties.

The communities do have a point. These regulations at times lack common sense.

On my community the shallow toddlers’ paddling pool was filled in as it was ‘too near’ the main swimming pool.

As a result there is nowhere for the toddlers to splash around in except the main pool, which is of course much deeper, and as a result much more dangerous.

So the ‘safety’ regulations have resulted in an increased danger for young children. The law of unintended consequences in operation, with no common sense applied.

Madeline Montague, Mijas Costa (Malaga)

bailed out by the taxpayer? Well it is nearly the festive season. I expect turkeys have already started casting their votes for Christmas!

Steve Morris, Altea (Alicante)

No right...

IT certainly seems that the issue over green waste has taken on a degree of momentum. It is positive that CLARO has taken up the issue supported by the Popular Party.

The responses of the mayor to the legitimate concerns of Orihuela Costa residents who are forced to live in a dirty, poorly maintained area were insulting to every person living on the coast. There are no recycling services provided on the coast. There is no site where green waste can be deposited by the residents of the coast. To blame the inhabitants for a blatant lack of a garden waste disposal system by a councillor from the Green Party is beyond believe.

The reaction of the councillors sitting 30 kilometres away in Orihuela to the disgusting state of Orihuela Costa just proves that these people have no right to have any control over the coast. The sooner Orihuela Costa gains its rightful independence the better!

Liz Page (by email)

Lunch date In reply to the letter (EWN Issue 1480 ), sorry Olivia Qualtrough, but in reality you are the person who is ‘naive and ignorant.’ I have been a practising naturist for more than 20 years and I have never, ever, sat naked on any restaurant seat nor have I ever seen any other naturist do so.

The etiquette is to always to take a towel and use it. The same goes for beach beds, sauna seats, etc.

In fact, just so you can be more informed in future, I invite you to join me for lunch at a chiringuito (beach bar) on the naturist beach here at Vera Playa. No dress code - just a towel!

Chris Thomas, Vera Playa (Almeria)

EW people question the need for having decent home insurance.

Ironically, when it comes to travel insurance, it’s often a different story.

Far too many Brits still travel abroad without taking out travel cover, oblivious to the eyewatering costs they could face if things go wrong. Having to cut your trip short for a family funeral, or ending up in a foreign hospital due to illness are just some of the misfortunes that can happen on holiday. Travel insurance is there to protect you against these, and a host of other holiday mishaps.

But what can you do to protect your home while you’re away on your travels?

It is a worry, especially around Christmas, when burglars are on the lookout for soft targets.

By taking a few straightforward steps, however, you can minimise the risk of a break-in, leaving you to get on with enjoying your travels. Start by cancelling any regular deliveries, and arranging for the post office to hold onto your mail until you get back from holiday.

Be discreet when you’re discussing your travel plans.

Don’t mention details or dates where other people are likely to overhear the conversation. Don’t close the curtains in an attempt to make your home seem less tempting: if anything, it’s likely to do the opposite.

Instead, move any desirables (car keys, for instance) out of sight, and fit timer switches on lights and radios. It’s not rocket science but it will send out ‘at home’ signals to casual

Some tips for leaving your home secure observers and help deter opportunists.

Don’t leave a spare key in that crafty cache that only you know about for reasons that should be pretty obvious!

If you can, leave a key with a neighbour or a friend, someone who can clear away tell-tale piles of junk mail and perhaps even park their car out front. Your neighbours may keep themselves to themselves, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t share your departure and return dates with them.

Far from feeling you’re imposing, they’ll probably appreciate the chance to be helpful and no one’s more likely to spot suspicious goings-on in your absence. With identity theft on the rise, it’s wise to leave important documents with friends, or in a bank safe if you have one.

And, finally, why not take snapshots of any items of special value, preferably in their normal surroundings; it could be useful, if you are unlucky enough to fall victim to burglary.

A true deep Royal romance...

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

ASH

/ SHUTTER

M STOCK.CO

BIT of a ‘told you so’ blurb this week.

Normally I hate trumpet blowers, but I’m not averse to a little input on occasions. Firstly, some years ago, during the vilification of Prince Charles over his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, I predicted one day their affair could turn out to be one of the great Royal love affairs in British history.

I think the couple, who are obviously deeply in love, have come through the whole saga with dignity and a new, thoroughly deserved respect.

Camilla is far more suited to him than Diana, who, with all due respect, was nothing more than a somewhat flaky, manipulative star-struck clothes horse; one who Charles was bundled into marrying merely to produce an heir to the throne.

Camilla not only ‘looks right’ at his side, but with her somewhat zany views and slightly off the wall projects, totally fits in with Charles ‘talking to

plants’ and environmental attitudes. I wish them both all the very best and a large dose of happiness in their life journey together.

The second ‘trumpet call’ hits a somewhat sourer note. I’ve actually lost count of the times over the past 15 years or so I’ve taken a leaf from Enoch Powell’s book and predicted this whole immigration fiasco would finally lead to rioting and bloodshed on the streets.

The latest statement from David Blunkett does, I think, finally exonerate me from all who accused me of

‘ranting’ and ‘scaremongering.’

Mr Blunkett’s comments, that the influx of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of Eastern Europeans, with their poor living standards and alien cultures, could lead to violence on the streets of Britain, is no doubt a welcome and sane observation, but too late.

Even now there has been a deafening silence from most other leading politicians on the subject. It’s no good waiting for many British suburbs to resemble Syria or Beirut before they clamour to air their views on the nation’s media. In less than two months hoards of these people will pour into an already beleaguered Britain. They will have nowhere to live. No money and no jobs. What on earth is Britain Camilla and going to do with them all?

Charles - one of Don’t ask me, I’m only an old the great Royal hack, one hit wonder from way love affairs. back. I’ll tell you something mind, Britain had better gird her loins for an unprecedented rise in crime rates, hoards of beggars littering the streets, a capitulation of the NHS and benefits infrastructure and unparalleled rioting on the streets of Britain, and all down to incompetent politicians that have well and truly shafted the British public.

Keep the faith.

LEAPY LETTERS

Muslim allies IT is very wrong of ‘Leapy Lee’ to ridicule the Burka as a way of dress.

Although I agree there are situations where it is totally inappropriate, this is the fault of incompetent politicians and there is no reason why it should cause offence in normal everyday multicultural life.

He is additionally very wrong to comment as to why one does not see remembrance poppies worn on a Burka. Many of those Muslim women must carry, in their hearts, memories of their loved ones - the older ones their husbands and brothers, the younger ones their grandfathers who died fighting in WW2, alongside British soldiers in the Western Desert, Burma and Italy.

So, please Leapy, do try to be more objective.

T seldom occurs to career politicians that figures who convince inside the party do not necessarily cut it with the public. Neither do they grasp that elections are easier to win if party favourites are family favourites.

Even committed PSOE supporters and those owing him their jobs agree that Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba should not lead the party into the 2015 general elections. The man who took the PSOE to two crushing defeats in 2011 is therefore unlikely to put himself through the coconut-shy of primaries despite a rapturous reception at the PSOE’s recent Political Conference.

Brave new policies and a brave new PSOE were euphorically applauded, encouraging Rubalcaba and party grandees to delay naming the evil day, a.k.a. the primaries, as long as possible.

They are talking about summer 2014 or even autumn, waiting to evaluate the party’s showing in next May’s European elections.

If the party wants to see itself in phoenix-mode it needs primaries as soon as possible. Rubalcaba

might have ‘the best political head’ in the party as former president Felipe Gonzalez said recently, but he has the poorest image.

Speaking volumes WAS it a deliberate snub?

There was a governmentshaped hole at the recent presentation of Jose Maria Aznar’s second volume of memoirs. It was very different at the first volume’s launch attended by Rajoy and several ministers a year ago.

Their absence is unsurprising.

Relations between the government and Aznar tensed last May when the ex-president criticised the economic policies of the man he appointed as his successor.

He has ‘taken note’ of the latest absences, Aznar remarked.

Rajoy has enough to worry about without Aznar breathing down his neck and no longer needs to pay court to him. Nor does he risk losing PP voters still enamoured of the ex-president as there is no far-right wing party for them to decamp to.

Unlearnt lessons UNLOVED Education Minister Jose Ignacio Wert is another with nothing to lose because he never sought a political career, insiders claim.

Montessori School builds on success MARBELLA MONTESSORI SCHOOL is continuing to grow in popularity as parents are increasingly discovering the astounding benefits that a true Montessori education can bring to their children. So much so, that the school is currently in the process of moving to larger premises on the edge of San Pedro de Alcantara. This will also provide the opportunity of being able to offer primary education for children up to the age of 11 following both the Montessori and British National curriculums.

The property, previously owned by Hollywood stars Audrey Hepburn and Mel Ferrer when they lived in Marbella in the mid-1960s, provides an ideal indoor learning environment where the children will be able to enjoy the extensive gardens which include a large vegetable plot for organic gardening, an orchard containing orange and lemon trees, ample space for games and sports as well as a heated swimming pool. The property also has its own woodland where the children will experience further outdoor learning experiences.

To help raise funds, the school has launched the ‘Sponsor a Tile’ appeal, where private individuals and local businesses are being invited to buy a ceramic tile that depicts a leaf, bird or gold star. These will be inscribed with their names as founders of the new school and will form part of a specially commissioned tree by G. Vega Ceramics which will be permanently displayed.

Principal Ann-Marie Garrett who qualified at the leading St Nicholas Montessori College in London in 1996 and owned several schools in the UK before moving to Spain seven years ago said: “We wish to involve all of the local community to enable a legacy to be created for the children of Marbella and the surrounding area. Although it is still early days, we have already obtained considerable support from parents and other interested parties; including the Montessori St Nicholas Charity in this exciting venture.’’

allowances to study abroad in mid-course brought down government wrath on his head.

He was one of Rajoy’s most trusted assessors, which recalls the saying about “those who can, do, and those who can’t, teach.”

In Wert’s case those who can’t, assess. And they make an unholy mess when they try putting what they preach into practice.

Still remembered “I LEFT the Fine Arts School in Calle de Alcala 13 and everybody was talking about it outside.

Someone had a transistor and we stopped to listen.”

It’s neither myth nor cliché.

Everyone, like the Madrid art student, now aged 71, remembers where they were on November 22, 1963, when John Kennedy was shot.

OPINION & COMMENT

Is it ‘adios’ America?

American dream has turned into a nightmare Mike Walsh. Based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.

W

HEN a friend spent a month touring the United States, I could appreciate his being impressed.

It is easy to be seduced by panoramic grandeur and the colour of new cultures vastly different from one’s own.

Had his itinerary taken him to the hundreds of tent cities, to bankrupt metropolis like Detroit that now resemble Berlin 1945, he might have been less impressed. Country music icon Merle Haggard must have had psychic powers when in 1982 he penned the ballad ‘Are the Good Times Really over for Good?’

The country song’s poignant lyrics hark back to Paradise Lost, a countrified America of domestic bliss, of values that have since disappeared. It was ‘a time before Elvis, before the Vietnam War came along.’

Change means that Haggard’s longed for America can now be found only in a few remote towns. Saturday Evening Post

illustrator, Norman Rockwell (1894 - 1978), depicted the lost America evoked by the wistful melody.

A flick through his illustrations will tell you more about ordinary life in the United States 1921 - 1960 than any number of history books.

In Haggard’s country music hit, he describes the United States as now ‘rolling down hill like a snowball rolling to hell.’

Today, the country’s leading politicians and its best journalists repentantly contemplate the abyss. The American dream has turned into the American nightmare.

If the US was United States Inc. it would be declared insolvent. The directors would likely be jailed for embezzlement, counterfeit money printing, corruption, share dealing, lying to the receivers; barred from holding office.

You do not believe me. Google ‘List of American federal politicians convicted of crimes.’ You will be forgiven for thinking that you mistyped and found San Quentin Penitentiary by mistake.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is now engaged in a massive, covert military build-up. An Associated Press

MERLE HAGGARD: Penned the ballad ‘Are the Good Times Really over for Good?’, did he have psychic powers? article in February confirmed a purchase order for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition. That is enough to sustain an Iraq-sized war for over 20 years.

DHS also acquired heavily armoured tanks, since seen roaming the streets.

Evidently, somebody in government is expecting some serious civil unrest.

If the social and economic fabric of the United States shreds, if it collapses into bankruptcy and the dollar ceases as a trading currency, what then for Europe?

American isolationism could leave the anti-Russia debt-riddled EU isolated too. It would be easy to fall back on the words of the great American writer, Mark Twain: “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” Who is right, the nation’s writer laureate or a country music singer?

Interesting times lie ahead.

Time Out EURO WEEKLY’S SPACE FOR YOU TO TAKE A BREAK, BE INFORMED AND ENJOY A CHALLENGE

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) A strong and exciting romantic feeling flows through the week, which is fitting as Valentine's Day comes round again next month. Someone returning from a trip makes you smile and boosts your spirit.

People who have been a little bossy finally realise that you will not rise to the bait.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) It's a better week for travel with less likelihood of delays. Should you be feeling a little lethargic and sorry about recent events, just count your blessings. Consider raising some money and having fun by indulging in a garage or car boot sale.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Spirituality seeps right through the week. As you are feeling particularly sensuous, invite someone special to dinner or on a trip.

Visit garden centres and plan ahead.

The colours and perfumes will be particularly pleasing.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Satisfaction with your love life is paramount this week, and the opinion of others seems important to you. Perhaps you are looking for an excuse to make a change. It is possible that a change is not required so much as a different approach. It is not essential to put all your eggs in one basket.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A conversation with a colleague brings insights into how others live and it is quite an eye-opener. Friendships are particularly important this week.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There is something in you that needs a creative outlet.

Perhaps you would like to write a book: memoirs, for instance, take up a craft or paint.

November 27: Jaleel White, 37. American actor best known for his role as Steve Urkel on Family Matters.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Being very much in demand for your talents this week means less time to spend socially, so it's important to make time for loved ones at the weekend. Someone seeking your advice may simply be seeking your approval for an action they are going to take anyway. .

LEO (July 24 - August 23) This is a week when progress is fast and plans run ahead. Try new ideas and seek information to hone your knowledge. An organisation that is new to you offers insight and social involvement. An offer that thrusts you into the limelight might be avoided at first but would be to your advantage.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Having suffered a bit of a setback last week, you may be feeling less confident. Revving up your social life will certainly help to bring spirits up again. Be with people who liven or inspire you in some way.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) There may be some opposition to your ideas as Pluto turns this week. Perhaps your natural charm just doesn't seem to be working. As you have helped others in the past, make it clear that you expect a bit of cooperation.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Although you have perhaps been looking to money-making ideas to progress finances, think also of alternatives. Perhaps there are areas of your lifestyle where money could be saved. Items that are not used could be sold for a profit and rid you of clutter.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Thoughts come to you, perhaps in dreams, that are creative and energy boosting.

Someone who recently moved out of your sphere is sadly missed but is in some ways still a part of you. A person at work who has been causing you concern needs investigation.

A SERIES of 20 crime novels, called the ‘Varigo Series,’ is now available. Centred on a Spanish village, the series expands to include crime, corruption and redemption in many locations.

The books feature the world’s first healer/sleuth ‘Jesus El Curandero’. They are fastpaced and humorous, based around Spanish customs and history.

As well as the unusual protagonist, the use of real

events, which have been fictionalised but still hold an authentic flavour, makes the series that bit different. Plus the care and insight the author S H Villa uses to explore the psychology of the characters.

The main characters in the books evolve in the course of the series and their journeys become part of the crime stories.

For this reason the series is numbered and best

Nowadays a life without electronic devices is hard to imagine. From washing machines and TVs to smartphones and tablet PCs they have become part of every day life.

But which electronic device couldn’t you live without?

And why?

THERAPIST Ana Ivars, aged 39, from Benissa, considers that only a few decades ago people lived perfectly with no washing machine, no electric iron and she can always use old systems.

“My mobile phone is not necessary either.” She adds: “The only electronic device I cannot live without is Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanner (MRI) because in my profession it is very important to detect health problems to treat them correctly.”

Gordon and Angela Southall, both retired who live in Arboleas (Almeria) are up to date. “We couldn’t live without our iPad. You have to keep up with modern technology.”

“We use it for Face Time, it is really good for speaking to family and best of all it is free.”

And Carole Whittle, who is also retired and lives in Arboleas agreed modern technology is good for keeping in touch. “I couldn’t live without my laptop. I speak to all my friends on Skype, I use it for banking and also for Googling information to prove my husband wrong!”

Ariele Lara, a 23-year-old, law student from Malaga couldn’t live without his smartphone. “I enjoy being connected to everyone I love and now thanks to the advancements in technology you can send messages and chat with your friends on different

apps for free. Taking pictures and uploading them to any of your social networks, synchronizing your calendar activities so you can organise everything you have to do… The possibilities are endless and I just couldn’t imagine being without it even though we have only had this technology for about five years.”

Celia Perez - 31, a therapist from Fuengirola (Malaga) loves her iPad. “I use it daily to manage my bank accounts and also for editing pictures for the website I own. I find it easier to carry than a regular laptop, I can take it anywhere with me in my purse and I don’t even notice it’s there. Since it has 3G wireless connection, it allows me to log on to the internet at any time and any place. Everything is easy.”

A pain in the backside?

Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com PIRIFORMIS SYNDROME is also know as ‘wallet sciatica’ and occurs when the sciatic nerve is compromised or otherwise irritated, as it emerges from behind the pelvic bone into the buttock through what is known as the sciatic notch. From here, the nerve makes its journey down the leg to the foot and toes.

Men’s wallets are causing them a lot of pain and it’s not because they are empty!

There is increasing evidence in the number of men who complain of lower back pain and their

wallets are the reason why.

Sitting with a wallet in your back pocket for an extended period of time causes the spine to twist, which then compresses the nerves in the buttocks.

This unnatural posture can lead to pain in the lower back and irritation to the nerve in your buttock causing ‘wallet’ neuropathy, which is a form of sciatic neuropathy.

The early symptoms may be pain in and around the outer hip bone; you may have a tingling and/or numb sensation in your buttock area and you may have a pain down your leg.

Stretching is often an effective solution but not if the problem is weak muscles; then, strengthening exercises are required to restore the balance.

If you try to stretch it and it

makes the pain worse, you may have piriformis syndrome.

So, it is a neuromuscular disorder, a numb ass! Joking apart, this is a condition that also affects people who do sitting sports like rowers or cyclists.

Having difficulty balancing on one leg and having a pelvic imbalance due to weakness may be predisposing factors to this syndrome. It can be caused by stiffness or hypermobility of the sacroiliac joints.

Runners are also often affected when they have an overpronation gait disorder, which means that the foot rolls in. The body then tries to compensate by twisting the leg and turning the foot out.

This rotates the hip, relieving the pressure but can just make matters worse. It is important to have a thorough assessment as

these symptoms can often be confused with other conditions. Much like sciatica this syndrome can be very persistent and painful.

Again, if the problem is not correctly identified, you may end up having repeated treatments and investigations for your back, when it is not the cause of your discomfort!

Resorting to painkillers or injections does nothing to remedy the situation and may allow you to make matters worse as you continue to do ‘the activity’ that causes the problem.

The solution is a ‘walletectomy’.

This means, take your wallet out of your back pocket and put it somewhere safer, like your front pocket.

MEET UP WITH FRIENDS: The easiest way to increase your brain power.

A good excuse to hit the town with friends BEING sociable could boost your brain power.

That’s according to a study which shows that parts of the brain are bigger and better connected in people with lots of friends.

The finding comes from scientists at Oxford University (UK) who asked 18 men and

women how many friends they had met, spoken to on the phone or emailed in the past month.

The average number of friends contacted was 20 and scans showed that around half a dozen brain regions were bigger in those who were more sociable and had more friends.

It is hoped that these findings could help scientists understand more about how the brain reacts in social situations, which could lead to new treatments for autism, schizophrenia and other conditions in which people struggle to interact with others.

Heart attack gene discovered A GENE which raises a person’s risk of having a heart attack has been discovered by German researchers.

The German Heart Centre in Munich believes carriers of the gene are 15 per cent more likely to have a heart attack and say that more than half of the 30,000 people they studied had the gene. The genetic mutation results in the person having stickier blood platelets which make heart attacks more likely.

And fight a flaky scalp by adding a few drops of tea tree oil to your shampoo to act as a booster.

Add volume - mix together egg yolk and half a cup of honey with olive oil and two ripe avocados.

Apply generously and leave until hard, then wash and rinse.

Shine - use olive oil or jojoba oil masks. Begin at the roots and brush through dry hair and leave for an hour or two.

AN introduction to a therapy with a 90 per cent success rate as seen on BBC News 24 and The Richard & Judy Show.

Hi! Carol here from Stop Smoking in Spain!

Having smoked 30 per day for 30 years I saw the coverage on BBC News 24 and then on the Richard & Judy Show and decided to give it a go. I was amazed.

So amazed that I have now treated thousands of smokers in both Spain and the UK and have around a 90 per cent success rate.

Yes, some of those have needed a second treatment but that is included in the cost of the therapy.

First some facts about Bioresonance: • 90% success rate!

• Removes the addiction!

• Medically proven!

• Completely safe and harmless!

• Already used in 55 countries worldwide!

• Non-invasive (no

chemicals or drugs)!

• The longer you have smoked, the easier it is to quit!

This E-book is an introduction to the therapy.

Sometime soon I hope to have the opportunity of making you a non-smoker, too!

HIS November 22 will be the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F Kennedy.

I was 20 years old, and seven days earlier had boarded a transatlantic liner in Southampton. JFK had become an icon in Europe since his election in 1960 and had transformed the image of America.

The President and his family were a sophisticated civilised, cultural elite who acted and spoke in a way Europeans could understand. They had become the Royal family of America and, like so many young people, I was enticed by the American dream.

On November 22, the ship was one day out from New York. Clocks and watches had already been set to Eastern time and everybody on board was thinking about the final night’s gala dinner. At about 1pm I was making my way up the main staircase for lunch when I noticed a large blackboard on which was scrawled ‘President Kennedy dead, RIP.’ Why would somebody write something so stupid, I remarked.

On reaching the main promenade deck I noticed groups of people clustered around radio sets. It soon sunk in that the notice had not been written as a silly gesture, the president had indeed been shot and was in hospital. When the news came through that the president had died no passenger was able to hold back tears.

The gala dinner was cancelled and a memorial service was held in its place.

Early the following morning the ship entered New York harbour passing the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan skyline, shrouded in mist, and into the Hudson river to dock at the city’s passenger port.

After passing through immigration, far simpler than today, I set foot for the first time on American soil. A taxi took me to a small west-side hotel. After unpacking I ventured out into deserted streets. It was cold and overcast with newspapers blowing across the street in the icy wind.

It reminded me of the final scene in the movie ‘On the Beach.’

With food and drinks purchased from corner stores, I spent three days glued to the old TV set in the hotel bedroom. Lyndon Johnson had immediately been sworn in as president on Airforce One and the police had apprehended the

supposed assassin. But events turned to incredulity when Jack Ruby shot Oswald dead as he was leaving the Dallas police station, live on TV. Then the funeral took place in Washington with the president’s family and world leaders in the cortege slowly following the horse drawn carriage on its way to Arlington cemetery.

After travelling around the country, I worked in New York until June when I booked a passage on a transatlantic liner taking advantage of the summer weather and groups of American college students travelling to Europe. It was a perfect ending to a great adventure, which had begun so tragically.

I had seen enough of America to understand why JFK was killed and was a fully, fledged conspiracy theorist long before Oliver Stone’s movie, JFK. While the West and East coast were more sophisticated, cosmopolitan centres, the rest of the country remained backward and insular. Gun ownership was an intrinsic part of society. I had witnessed run down city centres and a great deal of poverty across the country as well as racism and a strong North-South divide which still seemed to be a legacy of the Civil War, contrasting with pockets of immense wealth.

When I learnt that three university students from New York had been murdered in Mississippi by opponents of

the civil rights movement at about the same time I was passing through the State with a New Jersey registered car, I thought how close I had come to danger.

Four years later in 1968 I was living in Paris. It was a dramatic year: as well as the student revolution in Paris, the Tet offensive had started in Vietnam, Russian tanks rolled into Prague, Martin Luther King had been gunned down and Robert Kennedy was assassinated. He was perhaps a greater loss than his brother.

Acclaimed by young and old, rich and poor, white and black, across the country, he was clearly on his way to the White House. Thousands lined the tracks on the final train journey to Washington carrying his coffin on an open carriage.

A few years ago, after a visit to the Gettysburg battle site, I went to Arlington cemetery to see their burial place. There was another young president in the White House idolised by millions of people. But Barack Obama has not been able to fulfil his promises either and America is more divided than ever.

The American Dream was an illusion.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, shot and killed on November 22, 1963.

Costa de Almeria’s best guide to local sport

A RESTAURANT in China has replaced its waiters with robots that cook, serve and attend to customers.

Robot Restaurant, in the city of Harbin, has a workforce of 20 robots that tirelessly work for five hours. After that they need two hours to recharge their batteries.

But they seem to be very efficient as they make noodles, fry or steam-dumplings and bring the food to the tables running along tracks on the floor.

The only humans in the restaurant, apart from customers, are the kitchen supervisors.

The restaurant opened in summer 2012 and ever since has been popular with customers.

These peculiar cooks, named Cui Runguan, are sold for €1,600 per unit, a lot less than what a human chef would earn per year.

Choc chip cookies, a delicious accident CHOCOLATE chip cookies are a delicious and world known snack, but not everyone knows they were originally a culinary accident.

American Ruth Graves Wakefield is said to have accidentally made the first-

ever chocolate chip cookies in her restaurant, the Toll House Inn, Massachusetts.

In the 1930s, after running out of baker’s chocolate while making chocolate cookies, Wakefield decided to use pieces from a Nestle

chocolate bar.

But instead of melting, the chocolate maintained its shape, giving birth to the popular biscuit.

Wakefield published the recipe in her cookbook Toll House Tried and True Recipes, and it rapidly

became a baking favourite.

Rumour has it she sold the recipe to Nestle for a lifetime supply of chocolate.

What is certain is that the Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies sold in the US are made with the original recipe born from a mistake.

Cucumber rehydrates the body, so if water is not your favourite choice, eat a cucumber which has a 90 per cent water content. The water will also help eliminate toxins from your body and, with regular eating, cucumber has been known to dissolve kidney stones.

Aggressive tax advice a risky business PROVIDING sophisticated tax advice has become a risky business, according to the latest spate of incidents relating to tax advisors who have crossed, in the view of the Spanish Courts and authorities, the fine line between tax avoidance and tax evasion.

Last week, the Audiencia Nacional stated that Garrigues, the number one firm in Spain by turnover, had helped a number of CAM bank former directors cheat the Spanish ‘Hacienda.’

The statement can be deemed as being bold but then again, how else can you define the advice given to bent bankers who were accused, and arrested shortly after, of setting up offshore companies in the Dutch Antilles to channel loans granted to themselves which were later

syphoned off to these tax havens?

Last month, the Madrid-based Audiencia Nacional held that Demetrio Carceller, a prominent businessman, had hidden the full extent of his income and wealth ‘since at least 1990’ through a complex scheme, with companies in the Antilles, Panama and Madeira, in which he claimed alternatively to be resident in Portugal and Britain when it appears he lived in a Madrid penthouse, ‘avoiding as much as possible socialising in the capital.’

The State Prosecutor

also accuses his son, a straw man and… his lawyer of devising a tax defrauding arrangement, which included commercial centres in Arizona, and will be asking for 14 years imprisonment for each.

And also in Madrid the State Prosecutor, arguing a case against a lawyer accused of devising an illegal tax avoidance scheme, stated that the creation of an onshore (Spanish S.L.)/offshore (Delaware Co) corporate structure to facilitate the transfer of shares (and the property with it) and hinder hypothetical tax inspections, the setting

up of fictitious selftenancy agreements between the company and the true owner and the proven lack of activity of the Spanish company are incriminating factors per se.

In Malaga, eight businessmen and their lawyers are accused of setting up a ‘complex’ maze of companies based in the Dutch Antilles (again!) to conceal the true owners of the Spain-based assets and the origin of profits received.

According to the prosecutor, the accused law firm also advised to register cash contributions for the purpose of buying real estate as ‘corporate loans,’ thereby illegally deducting fictitious interest from profits, to the tune of €2.2million, in a not-so-sophisticated

tax scheme known as ‘left pocket pays right pocket!’

The Norwegian way to heat your home Neater Heater now available on the Costa del Sol WITH winter now upon us at last many people will be deciding how best to keep their homes warm. The choices seem endless, confusing, and contradictory. There is no simple answer, or single best solution.

Tony and Richard at Neater Heater have, however, got one solution that has been keeping away the winter blues for Costa Blanca expatriates for over four years.

There are many reasons to choose electricity as your heating option. It is clean, requires no effort to maintain, and has a comparatively small installation cost. In fact Tony and Richard claim to be able to install a fiveto-seven heater system for the same price that many people pay

By Dick Handscombe NO inland or coastal garden in Spain should be without herbs, whether you are a resident or absentee gardener.

They have so many uses

Simple heaters, but built to the highest quality. just to have a gas bottle casita built. But once you have decided on electricity then you have even more choices to contend with.

The Neater Heater team sympathise with you, because that is exactly where they were four years ago. After discarding the unhealthy Gas estufas, and deciding to ‘Heat Electric’ they tried various options - as customers - and realised one thing. There were no good, but affordable, electric heaters on the market.

With a great stroke of luck, it was while actively looking for a heater for his son’s room that Tony came across, and installed,

some Norwegian BEHA convector heaters that were unavailable to buy in Spain. That decision was life changing.

Discovering just how good these heaters were, Tony saw a business opportunity and approached his friend Richard

Winter and between them they started Neater Heater.

As Richard explains; “The beauty about Neater Heaters is they are simple but are built to the highest quality. They use modern, state of the art technology, such as extruded

aluminium for the element, and a highly sensitive thermostat. It also helps they look good. Neater Heaters are a smart, affordable, no-nonsense heater that works efficiently and economically to keep your home warm through those long cold winter nights”.

Having expanded during the last few years from the Costa Blanca all the way down to Almeria, Tony and Richard are pleased to announce that Neater Heaters can now be bought direct from their NEW distributors on the Costa del Sol: Malaga Relocation Agents in Mijas Costa. www.neaterheater.es Tel - 634 312 171 Or contact your Costa del Sol agent on 952 197 598.

terracotta herb barrels.

Apartment as well as villa dwellers can therefore easily grow and benefit from a collection of herbs.

The possibilities are as follows:

NATURAL HERBS: Easily grown and full of beneficial properties.

The perennials such as lavender, rosemary, thyme, chives, bay, sage etc., are naturalised Spanish plants and are therefore fairly easily established. Most

importantly they are among the most frost and draught resistant plants.

Many annual herbs such as basil, parsley and dill can be raised from seed or purchased as small plants each spring.

They are reasonably easy to care for in semi shaded positions.

Wherever planted, they can be trimmed for using in salads, cooked dishes and for healthy infusions.

Planted along paths, within mixed flower beds, on a rockery or in a dedicated herb garden their leaves and flowers add perfume to the garden, which in turn attract butterflies.

Planted as an interesting underlay in the areas between pine trees where the sun filters through.

Herbs can be harvested for hanging in bunches or mixing into potpourris to provide natural aromatherapy effects .

Co-planted on the vegetable plot they can be useful attractors of beneficial insects (rosemary and lavender), in attracting pests away from crops (sage, dill, fennel and coriander), the basis of natural insecticides (garlic) and fungicides (horsetail) and the basis of valuable natural fertilisers (comfrey, borage and nettle).

Part Four of our book ‘Your Garden in Spain’ describes and illustrates the most popular 25 herb plants.

Keep in mind that over half the dogs born are disposed of by having them put to sleep or sent to a rescue centre before the age of two years due to behavioural problems.

What a sad situation if only they had gone to a training club.

Speak to your vet who will know of a local

DOG TRAINING: essential for a well balanced pet. trainer. It is always a good idea to watch a couple of training clubs before you decide to proceed further.

Communication is the key word when training, so watch the others at the club and after the lesson chat to them to see how they are getting along.

It might take a few lessons - not many - but you will end up with a wonderful pet that will be a joy to accompany you on walks, come back when called and sit and lie down when told.

Rental prices continue to decrease

HOUSE rental prices in October decreased by 0.4 per cent, a study by real estate website Fotocasa has revealed.

In relation to October 2012, prices have dropped by 5.7 per cent.

This places the average rental price at €6.96 per square metre.

Rental prices have registered an accumulated fall of 31.2 per cent since they reached their peak in 2007.

By regions, La Rioja is where prices decreased the most - 2.7 per cent followed by Murcia, with a 1.8 per cent decrease.

Prices only increased in 23 per cent of the towns analysed in the study.

Renting a house is more expensive in San Sebastian, in the Basque Country, with an average price of €10.85 per square metre.

Presidential power is eroded by new rulings

IN Spain it would have been thought perfectly reasonable for the president of a community to take someone to court on behalf of the community without having specific permission to do so.

Just the fact of being the elected president of the community would have been considered sufficient authority for the president to act on their own accord, until recently that is.

On two occasions, firstly in October 2011 and then again in March 2012, the Spanish High Court ruled that the president actually needs to have prior authorisation from their community before taking anyone to court for any reason.

These two rulings have brought a significant

with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches change to the traditional understanding of Article 13, of the Law of Horizontal Property, which in paragraph 3 states; the president legally represents the community both in and out of court in all matters that affect it.

The law will always be subjected to change with fresh interpretations that reflect modern times, however, these recent interpretations could easily have an effect on some court cases that are

Wanted: Room-mates who are respectful, clean and sociable THE most requested qualities of a room-mate are to be respectful, clean and sociable.

According to a study by Easypiso, a website dedicated to house share and rooms for rent, these are what most people are looking for when searching for an ideal room-mate, with 72 per cent of respondents saying that these features vary depending on whether you are still a student or already working.

The main problems in house shares are cleaning issues with 61 per cent saying that accumulating dirt and rubbish in the shared, communal areas is a big problem, followed by privacy (40 per cent)

www.intercala.com

and relationships (29 per cent).

However, house sharing does have some benefits, 40 per cent said they became more organised and tidy as a result of sharing.

Throughout 2013 the average cost of rent in Spain for shared apartments reached its peak in April and May at €275 per month. This fell to €250 during August and September when there was a greater supply than demand and in October it reached an average €260 per month.

The most in demand cities according to Easypiso are Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Granada, Alicante and Malaga.

already under way. For example, a debt to the community.

If the debt was officially recognised and noted at the community annual general meeting and the resulting court case was instigated in the ‘traditional way,’ that is without the prior authorisation needed by the president to make it 100 per cent legally watertight, then in such a situation the judge would not only be entitled to reject the case but

furthermore hold the community responsible for the costs, even if the debtor had not requested it. As of yet, not all the judges are following this new interpretation but little by little it will probably become the norm for all cases.

Taking this new turn of events into consideration, communities are advised to include in their agendas for future general meetings all the possible court cases that might arise and also to record in the minutes that the president is fully authorised to start the appropriate legal actions on the communities behalf.

Neither do they prevent a president from taking someone to court acting as a private individual as one of the owners of the As for court cases that

have been already instigated, good luck, this is now a grey area.

One action that probably would help is to retroactively give the president the missing authorisation needed as soon as possible, either at the annual general meeting or if the situation warrants it, at an emergency general meeting.

Either way this should preferably be done before the cases come up in court, thereby showing the communities intention to act within the spirit of the law.

As always, as specialist lawyers in community law for Intercala Property Administration we encourage everyone to seek competent legal advice in all matters relating to the law in Spain.

SEAT’s first-ever car celebrates 60th

SEAT recently celebrated the 60th anniversary of the 1400, the Spanish automotive manufacturer’s first ever car.

In 1953, three years after the company was established, a high end car based on American car models of the day rolled off the assembly lines at Barcelona’s Zona Franca.

Since the launch of the 1400, SEAT has built more than 16 million vehicles, including emblematic models like the 600 and the Ibiza.

The choice of the 1400 sedan as an initial model

www.euroweeklynews.com

ASSEMBLY LINE: SEAT’s factory in Zona Franca, Barcelona. was a response to government officials needing a means of transport.

At the same time, this model was a very suitable car for use as a taxi.

In 1953, when the SEAT 1400 hit the roads, petrol rationing in Spain came to an end.

At an ex-works price of 121,875 pesetas (the equivalent of €41,735 today), initial production was five cars a day, built by a workforce of 925 employees.

These figures would grow exponentially, and were the prelude to large-scale car ownership in Spain.

In 1956 production grew

FIRST-EVER: SEAT 1400. to 7,000 vehicles, with practically 100 per cent of components being manufactured domestically.

10,000 units were built the following year, at the rate of 42 units per day.

After two years, SEAT was employing 5,000 people.

Production of the 1400 was discontinued in 1964, after selling more than 98,000 units.

SIGA update During the recent International Golf Travel Market held on the Costa Dorada, a select group of around 50 golf tour operators were invited to an evening of great food whilst sampling the best gins from Andalucia.

Hosting this evening at the Restaurante Castillo de Javier proved to be the ideal location for a convivial evening where our destination was promoted and business contacts made.

Following on from the news that the La Cala de Mijas Lions Club had generously donated a cheque for 1,000€ to Jack Nusbaum to assist in the running of his golf events on behalf of golfers with sight difficulties and with physical and mental disabilities, I am very pleased to report that the Costa del Sol Tourist Board have also been actively fundraising on behalf of SIGA.

Weekly Calendar Venue

Time

For every TO that confirmed his or her place the tourist board donated 20€ per head to the Sight Impaired Golf Society, a registered charity founded in Spain. Jack has been tireless over the years in his efforts to help visually impaired golfers (and with other disabilities) play the sport they love and I would strongly recommend your supporting his sterling work the next time an event is held at the Parador de Golf near Malaga airport. The feedback last time from participants coming from all over Spain was unanimously positive

Winning ways at last MARBELLA RC had set their eyes on the match against Jaen to win after starting the league season with two losses.

And they did not disappoint running out 27 to 41 winners.

The game started tentatively with both sides playing well defensively and eyeing each other up.

After 20 minutes Jaen managed to break the gain line and score under the

Towards the end of the first half Jaen were given a yellow card for bringing Ove down in the line out to prevent the maul.

With a quick ball, Marbella were almost over the try line when Jaen were given another yellow card, this time for a high tackle on Javier which gave the

referee no option but to award a penalty try.

At the beginning of the second half Marbella had the advantage of two extra men which created numbers in the line meaning Gianluca could run in a 25 metre try with a conversion by Daniel and then a forwards try from Juan with a conversion by

Javier. Jaen came back after Marbella received a yellow card for a dangerous tackle by Leo Lopez and then a yellow card for Enrique for a deliberate knock on just in front of the Jaen try line. Three quick tries for Jaen and an exchange of penalties took the scores to 27 - 27.

Leo Lopez returned from his sin binning and blasted through the opposition pack to score a try, converted by Daniel.

Marbella then seemed to find an energy and determination that Jaen just didn’t have in the closing minutes to get the ball quickly through the backs to give Daniel a man of the match winning score at the death.
