HARRY SHINDLER: War vet fighting for expats’ right to vote. See Page 14.
Winter Fuel Allowance debate – are backing a promised bill to abolish the controversial rule. Today (February 5) is Overseas Voter Registration Day, encouraging expats to register to vote, but any Britons who moved to Spain before the year 2000 are not entitled to vote in the general election this May. A large number of expats feel disenfranchised as they don’t have a vote either in their home country or their adopted country, as expats can only vote
in Spanish national elections if they have taken Spanish citizenship. According to the official representative of one of Spain’s Conservative Abroad (CA) branches, the so-called ‘15-year rule’ should be amended to a vote for life. Peter Newey told Euro Weekly News (EWN): “The current position is unfair in many ways. I pay tax in the UK. I have investments and may one day wish to return to live in the UK; after all, who knows what the future holds for any of us. “As we are seeing now, whichever political party is in Government today has a profound effect and impacts on the quality of life in the UK in years to come, and so having the right to vote in elections does matter. There are so many issues that Britons living
overseas are concerned about in the UK, yet can do nothing about at the one time you can have a voice… election time!” This matter has cross-party support, with Labour International and Liberal International also calling for the rule to be abolished. Mr Newey stressed that expats in Spain have been vocal about the issue. “The largest number of CA branches in any single country is in Spain and it has been these branches who have led the campaign over many, many years to highlight how wrong this rule is,” Mr Newey remarked. EWN has also tried to get in touch with Labour International, but was still waiting for a response at the time of going to press. Vote Special Page 14 What do you think about the 15-year rule?

Marbella free mobile tour guide MARBELLA plans to have a new mobile app providing tourism information up and running by Easter. The town hall has created a mobile app, Marbella Street, which will be available to download from Apple Store and Google Play free of charge next week. Sensors will be placed at 100 areas of interest about the town
including marinas, stretches of the seafront promenade, historical streets, the town walls, the castle, churches and museums, and will provide information to visitors via Bluetooth as they approach. Information in Spanish, English, German and Russian with photos and audio will pop up on mobile phone screens to inform users where they are and give them
details on the point of interest. Messages for each point of interest will vary as the user approaches, arrives at and leaves the area. The iBeacon sensors are expected to be in place and operational by Easter, providing visitors and locals alike with a free, easy way to learn more about their surroundings.

Free WiFi THRILL-SEEKING: Extreme sports go up a notch.
Daredevils’ ‘slingshot’ jump at 7G is spectacular
A
PAIR of death-defying adrenaline junkies have taken it upon themselves to hop out of a hot-air balloon at 5,000 metres and then slingshot themselves from a paraglider before skydiving down to a ski resort in the Pyrenees. It’s not the kind of thought to enter most people’s heads as a way to kill an afternoon, but then Spaniard Horacio Llorens and Argentinian Hernan Pitocco’s minds don’t tend to work the same way as other people’s. Thirty-two-year-old Llorens is a five-time Acro Paragliding World Cup champ and Guinness World Record Holder, and 36-year-old Pitocco is an experienced BASE jumper. The thrill-seekers took extreme sports to another level when they performed their spectacular dive over Catalonia, reaching 7G as

they somersaulted through the air before slingshotting themselves in perfect tandem out of their paraglider. “To do it safely, we both needed to release from the glider together, at a very precise moment, to ensure we wouldn’t fall into the glider,” said Llorens. “At 3,900 metres, we did about 13 revolutions, and then after 13 we released, around 3,400 metres. Then it was a simple skydive to the landing at 2,000 metres, at the ski resort of La Molina.” To prepare for the Red Bull-sponsored jump, the two daredevils spent seven hours training in a wind tunnel and practised several jumps. And Llorens’ reaction when they touched down on Spanish soil? “One of the coolest things I’ve ever done in my life.”

With airport operator Aena saying 13,749,134 people used the airport last year - a record airlines are looking to make even more seats available this year. Although more than 100 airlines operate flights from the coast, just four low cost airlines dominated

Leading the way for the airlines is Ryanair. One in five people that travel via Malaga airport used the Irish airline and that is set to increase as it has announced it will fly 48 routes from the Costa del Sol next summer and increase the frequency of its flights to Rome, Venice and Bournemouth.

Voting rights for UK expatriates
HIS week we’re taking a look at the issues surrounding expats and the British general election in May. It won’t be happening this year, but hopefully by the next general election - and any future referendum on ‘Brexit’ - the ’15-year rule’ prohibiting expats who have lived outside the UK for 15 years or more from voting will have been done away with. Groups in Spain and the rest of Europe have been tirelessly campaigning for the rights of expat voters and are urging those who do have a vote to make sure to register now, in plenty of time to ensure you have your say. The more expats who register and vote, the larger the voice we have in the UK when it comes to matters that affect us all, not just those still at home.
Take a walk on the tipsy side! PEDESTRIANS in Spain have been warned this week that if they’re in a hurry and have had a few drinks that they could be ‘pulled over’ on the pavement for exceeding the ‘normal stride.’ However, the new proposals to introduce pedestrian breath tests are only for those pedestrians involved in a traffic accident or offence. Overzealous policemen won’t be stopping joggers or pulling up happy revellers making their way home after a night out for a random breath test! More than half of the 370 pedestrians killed on Spanish roads last year had alcohol or drugs in their system. So just remember to stay safe while walking home, at all times, not just when you’ve been enjoying a drink. See full story on Page 37

Costa mourns passing of Jack Nusbaum THE Costa del Sol is in mourning at the passing of Jack Nusbaum, who died on Monday (February 2) at Cudeca. He was 88 years old and had cancer. Jack had been a tireless charity worker for decades on the coast and was instrumental in organising events for a number of different associations and charities. He was long associated with cancer charity Cudeca and was
founder of the non-profit charity Sight Impaired Golfers Association (SIGA). Jack, a retired advertising agency owner originally from Boston, USA, moved to Torremolinos more than 25 years ago and worked as the publication director of one of the first golf magazines on the Costa. He was a central figure in the world of charity work and was instrumental in the success of Talk Radio Europe (TRE) telethons over the years. SIGA was the first golf academy in Europe to work with and teach the visually, physically and mentally impaired to play golf. Jack was a dear friend to all at EWN and worked with us on numerous campaigns to help those in need. “Jack’s passing is such a huge loss to all on the

Work begins on Mijas ring road
ON SITE: Officials assess the new route.
Green light is given for planning revision MIJAS Council has started the ball rolling to legalise about 700 Calahonda homes. Following many years of uncertainty, the green light was given at the council’s January plenary session for initial modifications to the General Urban Development Plan (PGOU) to allow licences of first occupation to be issued for Calahonda Royale urbanisation properties. The Junta de Andalucia regional government must now review and approve the measure.
MIJAS village will soon have a new alternative route to get out of the old town and reduce traffic congestion in the area. Mayor Angel Nozal said: “These are some of the most important roadworks that will be done in Mijas. “If there was an emergency situation, such as an earthquake, and Calle Malaga was cut off, many local residents would be trapped; therefore we need another way out.” A 6.5-metre wide platform is being constructed to link Calle Cristobal Alarcon and Avenida del Compas, creating a southern ring road for the village.

The first edition of the Pasarela del Mar de Mjias show will be held at the fairground in La Cala from April 16-19, and will include fashion displays, conferences and a fashion fair, which national and young Andalucian designers are expected to attend. Retired Cordoban designer Elio Berhanyer, one of the great Spanish fashion ambassadors of the 20th century, who dressed figures including Ava Gardner and Queen Sofia, was the first to confirm his presence at the show and will be giving a conference. Madrid designer Lorenzo Caprile has also confirmed his attendance.
High-tech cleaners MARBELLA street cleaners are now using German machinery to keep pavements even cleaner.

Yet the council has declared that even the high-tech washers are unable to deal with discarded chewinggum, a problem that costs councils everywhere thousands of euros per year.

Register to have your say BRITISH expats in Spain are being urged to demonstrate that they have a voice in the upcoming general election in the UK by registering to vote as soon as possible. Those not affected by the ’15-year rule’ should register to vote now, according to the head of campaigns for Conservatives Abroad in Europe, Paul Barnes. “If you are a democrat, the core is the ability to vote,” Mr Barnes told
Expats’ right to vote COLIN BIRD THE vast majority of Brits leaving the mother country do so for one basic reason – to improve their quality of life. That’s it. I also believe that many have taken this major step because of the disgust at the constant attack on our long-established institutions, our crumbling public services and a general erosion of standards across the board. And like me, downright anger with self-seeking politicians and criminally-inept governments that have replaced what was once seen universally as the shining model for parliamentary democracy. Nevertheless, it is of vital importance that we retain and use the right as British citizens to vote in UK elections, and have our voices heard. In addition, demand the abolition of the arbitrary 15-year period of domicile in a foreign country, after which we are automatically disenfranchised. It was our choice to move to Spain, but I am an Englishman first and last. I have no idea whether I will have the opportunity to settle again in the country of my birth, but I sure as hell have earned the right over my working life to have a say in who governs it – wherever I choose to live.
Electoral limbo CASSANDRA NASH THERE will always be a corner in expat hearts that remains forever British and most of us
EWN. “We expats need to show that we do have a voice and as a result we should get out and vote. The 15-year rule alienates some British expats and as a result they feel disenfranchised. They can’t vote in the UK and they can’t vote in national elections in Spain.” Mr Barnes said that of the estimated 5.6 million Britons living abroad, around three million are eligible to
vote. But the UK Government has no record of the number of people who have lost their right to vote. “If expats voted they would suddenly have a voice and a bigger say in UK affairs,” he said. “The Conservatives have promised that they will eliminate the 15-year rule should they win the May election. This is of vital importance as expats currently not eligible to vote may be able to have their say if there
is a referendum on Britain leaving the EU, a matter which affects every single Britain living in Europe. Just because you live abroad doesn’t mean you’re not British and entitled to your say.” Mr Barnes stressed that those eligible to vote should register this month to ensure they can vote in the May general election.

Mr Shindler, who was last year awarded an MBE for his work in helping find the graves of missing Second World War British servicemen, has fought for years for the rights of Britons living abroad. Born in 1921 and currently living in Italy, Mr Shindler is a veteran of the Battle of Anzio and the liberation of Rome in the Second World War. He has fought tirelessly for the abolition of the 15-year rule, even bringing the matter to the European Court of Human Rights. He has also argued for parliamentary

care about what happens back in the place we still refer to as home. Nevertheless, anyone who has not voted in the UK for 15 years only has the right to hold forth in their local bar or on the Euro Weekly News Letters’ page. By the same token, many expats who have lived so long in Spain that they cannot vote in the UK want the right to vote here. Instead these long-term residents live in an electoral limbo and can’t vote in the regional and general elections although their results directly affect them. Being able to vote in local and European elections is better than nothing but if we are eligible for these, why are we not considered eligible for the others? As for residents whose command of Spanish is as sketchy as it was the day they arrived and whose knowledge
of Spain and its politics is sketchier still – better for them to have a vote and not use it than to have none at all. They probably didn’t vote at home, either.
A people without a nation MIKE WALSH IT is unlikely to be lost on many that the issue of expatriate voting rights follows the decision to end another state benefit. This is part of a

Mainstream media spin, goose-stepping to the government’s tune, continually demonise those who wish to retire and live elsewhere in the European Union.

THERE are many issues that directly affect expatriates living in Spain on which after 15 years they have no say. Here are just some of them. Winter Fuel Payments: Pensioners are to lose their allowance. Tax changes on pensions: Any changes to pensions’ rules could have a profound effect on retired expatriates, many paying UK tax. They have no say in the matter after 15 years. EU referendum: The Conservatives have promised one if they win the next general election, but many people living in the EU will not be able to vote. The slogan for the American War of Independence is apt: ‘No taxation without representation.’ petitions? In exactly the same way as we treat their election promises, with contempt. The parliamentary system is a rotating dictatorship. In terms of electoral accountability it is no different from any former Eastern Bloc self-styled ‘democracy’, like the former German ‘Democratic’ Republic (GDR). I am inclined to riposte; does voting matter? Taking part in such an artfully manipulated fraudulent democracy can only achieve one thing, encourage the elite to keep fooling us.

Costa shows its caring heart A COSTA DEL SOL woman’s determination to raise funds for mental health charities is showing the warm hearts of the coast’s entertainers. When Sam Bayley, 49, decided to run the London Marathon she decided if she was going to all that effort, she would do it to help a good cause. She chose the Mental Health Foundation (MHF), which had supported her as she took a year off work to help someone close to her who suffered from depression and anxiety. When a family friend, entertainer Nikki Rae, heard what Sam was doing, she couldn’t help but get involved, and suggested the idea of a charity concert. Sam said: “It all just went from there. The girls have been brilliant and all volunteered for the concert. They do a lot for charity, and when they heard about the causes we had chosen they jumped in.”
SAM BAYLEY: Raising funds for mental health charities. Those girls are some of the coast’s top tribute acts Madonna (Jordana), Adele (Nikki), Katherine Jenkins (Laura), Katy Perry (Laura). The show is called Celebrity Divas
and will be held at Moonlight at Sunset Beach, Benalmadena. Tickets for the February 21 event are €10 with children going free. They can be bought at the Sunset Beach Leisure desk or call Nikki Rae on 664 169 643 or Sam on 639 727 180. Sam, who has just competed in the Torremolinos half marathon as part of her training for the London marathon in April, said: “MHF does a huge amount of good work. People do not realise everything it does for people with all sorts of problems from depression to dementia and Alzheimer’s. “I’m running in memory of ‘Leila’ who died from her mental illness in January 2014. She was only 24-years old, had been in recovery and stable, and was a real help to my family member. “It was devastating to hear
that she had become ill again and died, one more reason that we wanted to raise awareness of mental health issues and urge people to seek help if they can. “Left untreated, these illnesses can become a matter of life or death. The term ‘mental health’ frightens people, me included prior to mental illness affecting my family. Well-being seems to sound easier but they are both really one and the same thing.” Sam, who works with her husband’s firm, Joe Bayley Furniture in Torremolinos, added: “MHF does not operate in Spain, so I thought it important to find a local organisation to help. It was brilliant that we found AFESOL so close by in Benalmadena, that will also benefit from the concert.”

Green election campaign MARBELLA Council wants to eliminate political posters from the town in the run-up to this year’s elections. The town hall intends to propose that time on the 15 electronic advertising panels spread across the town is shared between parties up for election in the same proportions used to allocate physical advertising space in the past.

Jobless figures improve ALTHOUGH January has always been a bad month for unemployment figures, Malaga Province only registered an extra 3,790 jobless people last month. The SAE Andalucian Employment Service report for January gave a total of 197,116 people registered as looking for work. The increase was lower than that of January 2014 (5,400) but slightly higher than two years ago (3,752). Unemployment rose in all sectors apart from construction, yet the annual figures were encouraging as there were 10,996 fewer jobless people in the province compared to the end of January 2014.
Four new motorbikes have also been purchased for the Local Police force.

How to complete an accident report form WHAT is an accident report form? An accident report form is a document which outlines the circumstances which have occurred in a car accident. In addition to the personal details of the drivers and their vehicles, the document includes a jointly agreed description of the manoeuvres carried out by the drivers when the accident took place, which plays a key role in determining who is responsible for a traffic accident. How should it be completed? Línea Directa offers the following advice to complete the form: 1. Columns A and B (blue and yellow), are for the personal details of the drivers and their vehicles. 2. In section 12, (Circumstances) the numbered column on the left describes the manoeuvres of car A and the one on the right those of car B. If you are unsure which box to mark, leave it blank. Make a drawing of the accident in section 13 indicating the manoeuvre of each car. 3. If anybody has been injured or if you think they might have been injured, complete section 24. 4. If there is more than one car involved in the accident, also complete section 23, on the reverse side of the form, and include it in the sketch. 5. Sign the form and keep a copy.
How to act in case of an accident Línea Directa Insurance advises you of the steps to follow in case of a road accident in Spain. 1. Call the emergency number: 112. They will coordinate the procedure and will ask you in detail about the circumstances of the accident. 2. Remain calm at all times. Switch on the emergency lights and if the state of the vehicle permits, remove the vehicle from the road, in order to avoid delays and further accidents, to the extent possible. 3. Signal the accident location. Before stepping out of the car, put on your high-visibility jacket, which is compulsory, and place the emergency triangles correctly. The first must be placed about 50 metres behind the car in the direction of the traffic, and the second about 100m. 4. If someone is seriously injured, never try to move them, except if in danger of fire or imminent explosion. Cover the injured person, keep them calm and wait for the emergency services to arrive. 5. If the circumstances of the location allow, always fill in the European accident report, which is an essential document for speeding up the procedures and handling between the insurance companies. If you have any doubt about how to do this, don’t hesitate to call your insurance company.

THE BEACH HOUSE: Great location, fantastic food and wine.
Food is the star of photoshoot AS it should be, the food was the star of the show at Elviria’s The Beach House restaurant when photographer David Toms paid a visit yesterday, Wednesday. Known for its stunning right-on-thebeach location, the restaurant is a favourite setting for David when he brings wedding parties down for photos on their big day. “It’s the light,” he explained, “it is absolutely stunning.” But while the ambience is superb the top attraction of the restaurant is its food. And that was why David was paying a visit. He was there to take close up shots of some of the creations prepared by the team of chefs. That put David in his element – before moving to the Costa del Sol 14 years ago he had spent time in London as a food photographer. That showed as he came up with some great shots of the mouthwateringly wellpresented dishes. David said: “The chefs make it easy for me. It all looks stunning. My job is to capture that.” The Beach House owner Guy McCrow was on hand to make sure everything went perfectly. He said: “I’ve known David for years. When he brings the brides here he uses our terrace. So I have asked him to get some shots of the food. “They are brilliant, the dishes look really good.”
Guy opened The Beach House 14 years ago and has moved on from the old seasonal opening hours. “The trouble is the staff. We need, and have, a really good team, and that is very hard to achieve. If you close seasonally you lose the staff and have to start all over again every year. “In the summer we are packed so we need a good team in place straight away to cope, and that is impossible to do every year. That’s why we decided to open through the winter as well.” As David got down to work, Guy showed his knowledge, not just of food but of wine too. “This scallop dish David has just finished photographing has a lot of robust flavours and chilli in it, so this wine is perfect. It has strong flavours so won’t be overpowered.” The pride Guy brings to the food, David brings to his photos. He said: “It is the attention to detail. I notice everything, and that is what matters when taking the photos.”

Alarm bells ring as expats leave area THE population of Malaga Province is declining; due in part to expats leaving the area, according to information from the National Statistics Institute that has caused alarm for officials. Newly published figures for the period between January 2013 and January 2014 revealed a drop in inhabitants for Malaga Province for the first time in 17 years. Although the number of Spanish residents increased, 43,000 expatriates have left the area (or failed to renew their registration) resulting in a 31,000 drop in registered inhabitants. Coastal towns registered the largest drops, between 10 and 16 per cent, although 88 of the 103 towns and villages right across the province were affected.
Mijas, the town with the highest amount of expatriates, lost 8,079 inhabitants while Marbella lost 3,338. Statistics department employee Alicia Jimenez said: “Many expatriates, especially Brits, arrived in the 80s and 90s to spend their retirement here, but returned to the UK after becoming ill or widowed.” The situation has set alarm bells ringing for councils as registered population is one of the main factors taken into account by the state and the Junta de Andalucia regional government when assigning funds. Furthermore, the loss of population will not only affect funding as at least three towns in the province are due to lose councillors at the May local elections.

Commercially available screen wash additives contain chemicals that kill the bacteria and neutralise any risk. “Legionnaires’ disease is an uncommon form of pneumonia caused by the
Legionella bacterium. It usually affects older people, with a higher risk in smokers and those with reduced immunity. “This disease does not spread from person to person and therefore poses no risk to family or friends. It is important to emphasise that, although the bacterium is common, the disease is rare and for most people there is no health risk. “Use only commercial screen wash in your car and do not be tempted to use plain water.”

Pedestrian breath tests facing Spain IF you have a drink too many and decide to walk home, be careful as proposed new regulations mean you might face a breath test. And you could get reprimanded for speeding as well if you can manage to stagger at a faster pace than ‘a normal stride.’ Spain’s traffic department, the DGT has proposed in a report new “tools to foster better relations and coexistence between pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and vehicles.” While proposals for higher drink driving fines and better regulation of driving schools are probably not too controversial, the plans hidden away in the report to give alcohol and drug tests to pedestrians involved in traffic accidents or offences are more contentious. Now Spanish government advisory body, the Council for State, has queried the proposals in a report, said Europa Press. The council is worried that it is a step too far that would restrict the freedom and invade the privacy of people as they go about their daily life. The proposal to restrict the speed of pedestrians to a normal stride could even

But the DGT has said that there is nothing new in the alcohol test proposals, with spokesperson Maria Segui Gomez explaining that municipal police, “have been carrying out these tests for months there is nothing new here that will allow us to start sanctioning pedestrians, whether with fines or penalty points.” She added that in 2014 more than half the 370 pedestrians killed on Spanish roads had alcohol or drugs in their blood.

AIRLINE passengers could be facing potential disruption to their travel plans as the two main unions at AENA – Spain’s airport operator – have called 27 days of strikes between February 11 and the end of August. In protest about the partial privatisation of the firm, the strikes will hit maintenance, power and firefighting services, among other key airport areas, according to Reuters. The first strike is scheduled for February 11 and a series of one-day strikes are planned during the peak summer travel season of July and August.

POTENTIAL DISRUPTION: Passengers could face delays during the planned one-day strikes.
The first strike will coincide with the day the state will list 49 per cent of the company – 21 per cent to an investment group and 28 per cent on the stock market – in its biggest privatisation in 18 years. The CCOO and USO unions say that they reject the entry of private capital into the company. The two groups represent around 70 per cent of AENA’s 9,000 workers at 46 airports and two heliports in Spain. It is not yet known how much disruption to flights the strikes will cause. Early reports say that seven strike days are scheduled for July and five more in August.

Pound in the pocket cheer or another lost decade of gloom? THE good news is that the pound in the tourist’s pocket – and the spending power of British pensioners living in Spain – has been boosted in recent days. The European Central Bank’s decision to splash out €1.1 trillion on ‘quantitative easing’ to flood the money markets with cash has weakened the euro, meaning more spending money for people with Sterling incomes living in Spain. It is also good news for the tourism industry, worth around €60 billion a year to Spain. The country is starting to look even better value again after suffering from the effects of a weak pound for several years. It should all be a timely boost for the country that is slowly emerging from recession. The average British pensioner should certainly be feeling the difference after all the gloom over the loss of winter fuel payments.
With the exchange rate at the time of writing at €1.328 to the pound (Tuesday, February 3) compared to €1.245 last September, there has been a significant rise in spending power. But looking at the wider picture, the bad news is that Bank of England governor Mark Carney has warned that the Eurozone faces another ‘lost decade’ if significant structural changes in the area are not made. Speaking in Dublin on Wednesday January 28, Carney said that the Eurozone should ease its austerity policies otherwise it could see another decade of low growth. He said: “Since the financial crisis all major advanced economies have been in a debt trap where low growth deepens the burden of debt, prompting the private sector to cut spending further.
EATING OUT: More spending power means local businesses benefit. “Persistent economic weakness damages the extent to which economies can recover. Skills and capital atrophy. Workers become discouraged and leave the labour force. Prospects decline and the noose tightens. “As difficult as it has been, some countries, including the US and the UK, are now escaping
this trap. Others in the euro area are sinking deeper.” He went on to say: “Europe needs a comprehensive, coherent plan to anchor expectations, build confidence and escape its debt trap.” So looking to the future are things looking good or is the gloom set to continue? There is no doubt that the
expat on the street with a UK income is better off. And the many owners of businesses that rely on British tourists, whether they be bars and restaurants or car hire companies or hotels, will be looking forward with optimism if the pound continues to grow stronger and hits the predicted heights of €1.40. Some money market insiders even foresee it topping €1.60 after the Greek election results brought in a left-wing, antiausterity party. Or should everyone be sinking into a gloomy morass at the prospect of another lost decade? What do you think? Are you feeling richer? Are you looking forward to the future with optimism? Or do you feel the long-term outlook is not too rosy and the hatches should remain firmly battened down? Let us know what you think at www.euroweeklynews.com

The show is broadcast on Saturdays at peak viewing time and this particular episode will be shown this month. The programme is not only broadcast in Estonia but also in countries like Finland and Russia, and attracts a high audience share of more than 20 per cent.

OHL wants €783.5 million compensation after Qatar rescinded its €1.759 billion contract to build the Sidra medical centre. The Qatar Foundation and the Spanish construction company parted ways last July after the former accused OHL of “lack of diligence” and failing to meet deadlines.

AENA shares sell like hotcakes TRADING in AENA shares begins on February 11, but demand already outstripped supply at prior meetings for investors. The price will be fixed on February 9, but shares in Spain’s airports operator are expected to fetch between €43 and €55 each. This puts a €2.31 billion price tag on the share offer and AENA’s total value at between €6.45 billion and €8.25 billion. Privatisation is partial, as the state retains control with a 49 per cent stake. Twenty-one per cent of AENA shares were allocated last November to three key investors with the remaining 28 per
cent going to new shareholders, including retail buyers. Spain’s airports handle 195.9 million passengers a year but are capable of handling an annual 335 million, said AENA’s president Jose Manuel Vargas. This, coupled with scant need for further investment make the company an attractive prospect, Vargas added. The excess capacity corresponds to the country’s biggest airports, he said. Passenger traffic could grow 67 per cent at Barajas airport in Madrid, by 46 per cent at El Prat (Barcelona) while Malaga, Alicante and Gran Canaria could all double their current rates.

Zara chief is landlord to rivals INDITEX owner Amancio Ortega has bought another prime property, this time in Madrid’s Gran Via. The world’s fourth-richest man now owns the building in Spain’s equivalent of Oxford Street where Mango and H&M already have premises. Primark has its Spanish flagship store there and Inditex itself, under its Lefties label, is also present in the 36,376square metre, nine-storey building that
is also the headquarters of the SER radio network. It was sold by the Longshore group which is headed by Drago Capital and includes Phoenix and Sun Capital. Neither seller nor purchaser has revealed how much money changed hands in the deal. The Gran Via purchase is in line with other investments made by Inditex’s investment division Pontegadea.
and due to be handed over during the first four months of 2015, the company maintained. It initiated an arbitration process supervised by the International Chamber of Commerce because the Foundation’s accusations had no legitimate basis, OHL said. The €783.5 million compensation claim excludes “additional concepts yet to be calculated” and could rise higher, OHL warned.

Business is not a charity AN article recently caught my eye that reminded me of the sacrifices made by performers who offer their free support to charities. Why artistes are singled out to do so is beyond me. I can imagine the expression on plumbers or lawyers faces if it was suggested that they donate their fee to a charity. What others do is their business. I do think such artistes should be better appreciated. I recall a talented professional piano duo being invited to perform at a charity’s gala. Being a charity there would not of course be a fee. The pair gave up their free time. On their arriving at

beneficiary to many perks denied to the rest of us, are already advantaged profitable concerns. There should be a much better partnership between charities and those who serve our communities. Substantial funds are raised at charity events; the venues where they are held do well out of bar and restaurant sales too. Guest speakers, comedians, sportsmen, politicians too, are paid handsomely for speaking at charity and fundraising events. My advice is, if asked to support an event of any kind, to negotiate a reasonable fee. A concession might be made as to the
size of the fee. Perhaps, wherever an event is held, an offer might be made in return of an overnight stay or dinner vouchers. Or, is that too charitable? Charities and artistes will be better rewarded if respect is mutual, there is understanding, and a complementary partnership. Charities tend to be well connected in the leisure industry. They might come to an arrangement with a venue by which supporting entertainers, or any other service that offers their support gratis, are provided with a paid for booking at a later date. That way everyone wins. It is called business.

Sterling hits 7-year high versus the euro THE great British pound (GBP) recently rallied to a seven-year high against the euro. The move has been driven by the announcement of Quantitative Easing (QE) by the European Central Bank (ECB) at their January 22 meeting. The ECB unleashed a 1.1 trillion euro QE plan to stimulate the Eurozone economy and boost inflation. The programme will see the ECB buy a total of 60 billion euros of public and private assets per month, starting in March 2015 and running through to September 2016. Although the ECB denied that a weaker euro was a target, the impact of the news significantly devalued the euro. A weaker euro will help to boost exports and inflation across the Eurozone, as investors and importers outside the Eurozone take advantage of the exchange rate. The long-term impact of QE in the Eurozone is still very

uncertain, but when you contrast the monetary policy of Europe who are just embarking on significant easing to that of the UK and the US, who are on the path to monetary tightening, the divergence is very apparent. This difference could in fact drive GBP/EUR higher still and some analysts are pointing towards 1.40 as a target. To achieve the heady heights of 1.40, much will also depend on the ongoing economic recovery in the UK. The UK recently posted its strongest level of growth for eight years

Admittedly other forecasts are still to post, but the data would place the UK top of IMF current projections for developed economies.
The news will come at a handy time for Prime Minister David Cameron as we enter the last 100 days before the national election on May 7. For the momentum in the pound to continue, the market will be looking for the Bank of England to be moving towards an interest rate increase and future economic data will be

Can they ban debtors from pool? Q. We have heard that the Spanish courts have ruled that communities are authorised to ban debtors from using certain community facilities, including the swimming pool. As the president of a large community, with a large debt, this would be very useful to us as a way to encourage owners who owe back community fees to pay up. I am not
sure of how it could be enforced. So my question is: “Can we ban the debtors from using the community pool, and what precedent or law can we quote?” Also the latest book I have is the 2011 edition of ‘You & the Law in Spain.’ Has an updated version been released? P.B. (Costa del Sol)
You and the Law in Spain By David Searl
A. No, the Spanish courts have not ruled that communities may prohibit debtors from using common areas, such as the pool. What has happened is that the General Directorate of Notaries and Land Registries, which rules over Community Statutes and Constitutions, decided in 2012 that communities could include a clause by which they prohibit the debtors from using common areas such as the pool or play areas for tennis or other activities. They base their decision on the fact that these areas are not essential to the right of property of the owners. However, this prohibition has
not been confirmed by the courts. Therefore we cannot be sure that a case
would be won if an owner protested to the judge that he was unlawfully prohibited from using the pool. In strict legal terms, this can be considered as harassment or coercion against the owner. This is the same legal principle that stops landlords from changing locks or cutting off electric or water supplies to tenants who do not pay the rent. In any case, the prohibition clause has to be included in the basic Statutes of the Community and registered in the Land Registry. To answer your question about ‘You & the Law in Spain,’ yes, there is a new 2015 edition, which you can obtain by sending an email to the law firm UbedaRetana & Associates, for the attention of David Searl, at the address given below. And thank you for asking.

very important, in particular regarding growth, inflation and wage growth. Assuming the wheels do not fall off the UK’s economic recovery, the Bank of England should be raising interest rates within the next 12 months to support the pound. Although the UK recovery and the pound’s relative strength will be an important driver for GBP/EUR, it will be the euro that will be the key protagonist. For the euro the ongoing effect of QE is anticipated to be euro negative. In addition, the euro could potentially face additional pressure from the new antiausterity government in Greece and potential escalation of the Ukraine crisis. Overall the euro is facing significant headwinds for 2015 and volatility is expected to remain extremely high. As it stands, further momentum for GBP/EUR is anticipated possibly towards the key 1.40 level.

Scant reward in return for giving out so much I HAVE sent this letter to the Work and Pensions Committee as dictated by my mother Ruth Ransford. Thank you for giving us the information in order to make our objection. “Please do not take away my heating allowance. I am on a reduced pension and need this money to keep warm. “After six years of apprenticeship my husband emerged as a highly-skilled fitter facing a country in depression with no work, no money. After doing whatever jobs he could find, he built up a small poultry farm. “At the beginning of 1938 he was visited by government officials, asking him to start a job in a nearby factory overhauling cranes and machinery as pre-war work. He went on to work in a blacked-out workshop in Shrewsbury, making essential machinery to produce arms for a war which seemed inevitable. It was hard work with long hours and he was there throughout the war. “After the war my husband set up in business, providing work for others and paying their social security for many, many years. At the beginning he was not required to pay into the pension social security system for himself and did not do so as the business needed money. “Because of the period of nonpayment I find myself on a reduced pension. I am 96 years old and need a hot water bottle to keep warm. We live in sight of the snow-capped mountains of Sierra Nevada and the north winds blow down from them. “I am grateful for the winter fuel allowance which is so necessary to pay for my heating bills during the winter. Please think again before depriving me of it. Thank you.” Christine Ransford, Granada

to the plummeting euro, the exchange rate that expat pensioners get for their UK pensions has resulted in a healthy 10 per cent increase in their pensions over the last year. From what I see, the cost of living in Spain has not risen at all so the expats are really in heaven, unlike non-expats. Add to that the low cost of fuel, the abundance of low-cost high quality fruit and vegetables and we are tempted to become permanent expats! Michael Warren, Fuengirola (Malaga)
Brainwashed YET again I read with disappointed shock Mr Walsh’s glib article and his blatant pandering to the totalitarian Putin kleptocracy. If he is a fifthcolumnist, he is doing a pretty poor job of staying under the radar. From what I can gather from past articles, both Mr Walsh and I have been blessed with finding Russian-speaking spouses. I assume, however, that whereas my wife prefers to listen to one of the last few independent media sources out of Russia, his is content to have her brain thoroughly laundered by the Kremlin propaganda machine that now owns 97 per cent of all media in Russia. Does Mr Walsh realise that there are over 20,000 journalists now directly employed by the Kremlin, all instructed to spin the

Going nuts I HAVE just spent my 87th birthday screwing up my nuts.
I’ve been lying on my back with my head underneath the bidet after a leaky hose flooded the bathroom. I had previously bought stopend nuts from a local Chinese shop and connected one as a temporary measure to stop the flow but water still leaked from the connection. I spent a whole day sealing and rescrewing my nut without result. Then I remembered I had previously bought a television amplifier from the same shop, but could not connect it due to faulty threads. I replaced the pipe nut with an old nut with immediate success as the new nuts had faulty threads: I did not know that Chinese nuts were different from ours. A difficult job at my age, but thankfully I am no longer leaking. Ernie Barnes, Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmadena (Malaga)

When will people realise that such appalling behaviour, coupled with bullfighting and abandoning or killing dogs at the end of the hunting season, earns the contempt of the majority of rightminded European citizens. The failure to act by the Guardia Civil says a lot about Spanish rule of law. Roger and Sylvie Jefferies, Javea (Alicante)

SPEAKING OUT: London mayor Boris Johnson.
DON’T know about you but I’m heartily sick of people who consider themselves offended by someone’s piddling remarks or actions. Wimps, who rush to the authorities, wringing their hands and wailing that someone has somehow upset their pathetic equilibriums. These reactions are of course a sign of complete insecurity. To my mind they are like children, who run to mummy snivelling and whining that Johnny had called them a ‘scaredy cat’ or
‘smelly boots’. This latest example, however, just about took the whole tin. When Boris Johnson declared that, in his opinion, the majority of self-styled militants who leave their countries to fight for the likes of IS, are people who have difficulty with the opposite sex, probably spend a great deal of time watching internet porn and are social misfits who have problems communicating with normal society, up pops someone to tell us his remarks may cause offence! This time the general secretary of the ‘Women’s Muslim Network’ was given the opportunity to air her displeasure on Sky News. The lady declared that she really didn’t think the language Boris used was acceptable. Not acceptable to whom? Other toerag terrorists? How does she suggest we should describe these no-brain maniacs? Poor unfortunate, misled children? Soldiers of Allah? Pillars of society? A wonderful example to youngsters everywhere? Fighters to be admired and revered? Give us a break! Sorry
if you feel offended, madam, but these sub-humans are probably everything that Boris has profiled and more. To hell with his language! These misfits are psychopathic wastes of space that, on their return from these killing expeditions, should be locked away forever. Anyone who tries to excuse their actions should also be named as traitors and punished accordingly. I know many of these people consider the British a soft bunch and a nation of ‘sorrys’ (others have made this mistake to their cost!) but this ‘offended’ reaction really does stick in my craw. Well, I get offended when I see people’s heads being chopped off and kicked around by these animals. It also distresses me to hear of the mass killings and the rape and torture carried out in the name of their religion. ‘Offence’ is a question of priorities, ya see.

How are you coping with the cold spell - Are you spending more to keep warm this year? MIKE HAYNES from Coys Rent a Car said he is fortunate to have under floor heating at his home, but even with that he has still been suffering: “I’ve been really cold this winter and the longer I live here the colder I feel. I watch my son play football and I’ve got five layers on and I can’t remember ever doing that.” He adds that the under floor heating uses oil which has actually come down in price so he is hopeful not to notice an increase in bills: “That has been a godsend as it’s definitely been on more this year.” Carsten Klinksgaard from Casa Interior in Altea however thinks the weather has been rather pleasant: “We have had a lot of colds in the family but it’s not been too bad. We have a pellet stove in the house and that gives out a good heat and is quite reasonable to run.” Lianne Satterthwaite. SRS Vehicle Services.

HOW much you are charged for financial and investment advice goes to the heart of assessing value for money. Unlike single transaction purchases like buying bread or a car, financial advice often involves a long term financial product from which the adviser will derive an initial and ongoing income from the investors’ capital. It is vital therefore to ensure that all costs and charges are clearly disclosed and also to understand the charge for initial and ongoing advice. In the UK the financial regulator has required full disclosure of charges and advisers’ earnings for many years. In Spain and Gibraltar product information is required, but full disclosure is a new concept and while sometimes the disclosure may be explicit, other times it may not. Why is full disclosure important? Many people like the concept of commission believing they

expert will find it impossible to assess if it represents fair value unless there is full disclosure of charges. One example is commission deals between fund managers and financial advisers
that can be totally opaque. Hidden fund based commissions can add significantly to costs and when sold as a fund within an insurance policy can go
undisclosed. Ironically this non-disclosure may make, by design, the insurance policy look cheaper than fully disclosed alternatives and result in greater investor uptake. This is exactly why guaranteed charges and income disclosure is so important. The good news for those who like the ideal of transparency and being treated fairly is that the EU is imposing full disclosure of all charges and will ban back-door payments on investment products. The EU directive requiring this (MIFID II) is in place, but individual member states will need time to implement the higher disclosure requirements. Until then investors should ask when seeking financial advice about the firm’s disclosure policy. The Fry Group already guarantees UK standards of disclosure in Spain and we look forward to a level playing field for investors making difficult decisions.

chocolates for Valentine’s Day in the 1880s. In the US alone, more than $1 billion (€88 million) worth of chocolate is bought on Valentine’s Day. In the Italian city of Verona – where Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet lived – around 1,000 letters are received each year on Valentine’s Day addressed to Juliet. Other unusual recipients of Valentine’s Day cards are pets, with around 3 per cent each year receiving cards from their owners. And slightly stranger is the fact that around 15 per cent of American
women send themselves flowers on Valentine’s Day. And what about the millions of singletons out there for whom Valentine’s Day only serves as a cruel reminder that they have nobody to cuddle up with or share a romantic meal? Well, February 14 is also the date when Singles Awareness Day (SAD) is celebrated. Despite the unfortunate and ironic acronym, the day is a holiday for single people to celebrate or commiserate in their single status. Whether you celebrate the holiday or not, there’s no getting away from the fact that St Valentine’s Day is here to stay.

Find a tonic with Milton Express and a chance to meet Steve Claridge IF, like many expats, you are continually frustrated by poor returns from your savings as the banks offer less than 3 per cent a year, or perhaps your monthly income simply needs a boost, then Winning Express may be what you are looking for. Now in its fifth year, Winning Express offers a range of rock solid investments, some of which are totally tax-free. This month, the company are holding seminar presentations to explain their range of lucrative services and you also have a chance to pick up a free Apple iPad tablet too! Simply register online at www.winningexpress.com or telephone our Marbella office on 952 768 361. For nearly four years, many residents on the Costa Blanca have benefited from the services offered by Milton
BBC TV and radio football pundit, Steve Claridge. Express through their Winning Express concept. Membership of Winning Express entitles participants to benefit from four different streams of income, two of which are tax-free. Winning Express’s mission statement says: “Winning Express exists to provide its members with tax-free returns, along with an earnings
opportunity, and a sense of enjoyment in simply belonging to a club that’s dedicated to our mutual success.” CEO Nicholas Thom is proud that those words are not empty rhetoric. “We commenced operations in the UK in autumn of 2010, and through one of my colleagues we realised our services could well appeal to UK
expats in Spain so we took premises on the Costa Blanca in April the following year. Winning Express now have two other successful offices in Spain, one in La Zenia near Torrevieja and one in Javea. Clients are prospering from our services and as we’d started receiving enquiries from Costa del Sol, it made sense to begin operations in Marbella.” Winning Express is offering participants FOUR incomeearning opportunities: Arbitrage: 2 per cent per month underwritten Sports Betting: 350 per cent profits over three-and-a-half years. No guarantees but a proven track record – and returns are TAX-FREE! Thoroughbred Fund: 2.5 per cent per month underwritten Introductory commissions: eight levels of commission with no restriction on earnings.
Additional benefits offered to Winning Express members include a Concierge Service for those who enjoy attending major sporting and concert events. So, why not come along and see for yourself what Winning Express is all about. Just imagine over 24 per cent a year return rather than 2 per cent from your bank savings. Meet Steve Claridge at the presentations at Aloha Gardens Golf Resort or Our Bar, Cala Honda, Costa del Sol on February 27/28. Ex-professional footballer Steve Claridge, a highly respected BBC TV and radio pundit, involved with Winning Express, will be in Marbella to co-host a presentation on February 27/28. Winning Express can be contacted 952 768 361

THE deadline for the Charlemagne Youth Prize has been extended until February 23. The European Parliament prize is awarded for projects run by people aged 16 to 30 which should provide models for young people living in Europe. Top prize is €5,000 and Gibraltarians are being urged to enter their ideas before the deadline. More info: www.charlemagneyouthprize.eu/en/root.html
GIBRALTAR’S new mental health unit has been named Ocean Views following a competition to pick a name. Judges found that Ocean Views reflected the feel of the new unit. The name had to be warm and welcoming to describe a healing place where people come to recover before returning to their lives in the community.
Flight diverted A BRITISH AIRWAYS flight from Gibraltar to Heathrow had to be diverted to Malaga following an engine failure. It landed safely at Malaga about 30 minutes after leaving Gibraltar. A replacement aircraft took passengers to London after a six-hour delay. It is understood that the flight diverted to Malaga instead of returning to Gibraltar due to more maintenance options being available there.
Forging education links with Malta and UK TALKS have been held between Gibraltar’s Minister for Education and education chiefs in Malta with a view to establishing collaboration between the University of Gibraltar and the University of Malta. Gilbert Licudi, QC, attended meetings in Malta in connection with the University of Gibraltar with
Professor Juanito Camilleri, Rector of the University of Malta, about various areas of collaboration, including in the area of Mediterranean Studies. Licudi also attended talks in London to strengthen links with Kingston University. “All the meetings held in London and in Malta have been part of the
preparation necessary for the opening of the University of Gibraltar and for the future development of the university,” he said. “The meetings have allowed an exchange of views as well as the development of valuable links with those already engaged in Higher Education. We have been provided not just with useful and encouraging advice based on experience but also with a willingness to assist us in any way and to collaborate with the University of Gibraltar on joint projects. The more we discuss our plans with others, the more exciting the university

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A shopping trip with a friend makes you realise that there is more to them than meets the eye. Should you have underestimated them, encourage them to open up. Something you hear this week will be of immense value to you in the future. Decorating and changes at home really bring spring into your life and perk you up. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Someone new to your circle of friends brings humour and a new lease of life, socially. When something outside your comfort zone is suggested, then be sure that it is not just faint heart that is stopping you. There is nothing wrong with saying ‘no’, unless there is heartache in doing so and then wishing that you had not. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Are you in the mood for some retail therapy? There are bargains to be had this week. The trend also extends to your personal life where it is possible to negotiate much more easily with a loved one. Suggestions for a busy weekend may be resisted owing to overload. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) The more sensitive side of your nature comes to the fore this week. You are likely to find yourself upset but, by looking on the bright side and keeping your sense of humour, brings a balanced view. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) This is a time to keep your mind sharp, so get plenty of sleep and exercise for sure. Legal matters may be paramount and need specialist advice. So long as you are doing your best in a certain situation, no more can be expected of you. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) This is a time of the year when new starts and fresh ideas come to you, which is excellent news for those who are looking forward to changes. The weekend brings you courage and determination and you feel confident enough to speak plainly with people.

how right you were to keep something in reserve. Certainly, so far as a relationship is concerned, holding back has proved its worth. Financially, you are entering a period of frugality, but this is more for your own satisfaction than because of any money worries. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Getting more sleep and fresh air last week may show dividends now. The results are a brighter mind and more willingness to be social. Young people will be particularly helpful and fun to be with. Asking for their help makes them feel important in your life and will also bring you great pleasure.

With such an active mind as yours, boredom is agitating and nonproductive. Spring gives you the ideal opportunity to visit others and get out in the open. Both your health and finances gain from a day somewhere new as an inspired idea comes to you. An invitation you are tempted to refuse should be accepted if possible. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) News of someone close brings finances into your mind. Perhaps some juggling is needed to keep the balance. There is more than one way to conserve both energy and money, which will give you a head start. Getting involved with a charity, even on a small scale, can bring immense satisfaction and costs nothing.

TOP 10 THINGS YOU THOUGHT WERE TRUE BUT REALLY AREN’T
SPONSORED BY For solutions: http://www.euroweeklynews.com/puzzle-answers.html
WE all know that we shouldn’t believe everything we read or hear, but sometimes certain facts are repeated so often that we come to believe them to be true. Here’s a list of just some of the false facts that have entered into common belief. 1. Nails and hair continue to grow after you die: While it may appear that growth continues after death, nails and hair actually only appear longer as the skin recedes from the body. 2. Dogs can’t see colour: Scientists have proven that dogs can see shades of yellow, blue and green, debunking the popular myth that your beloved family pet can only see shades of grey.
Working to find the truth BOOKS books@euroweeklynews.com
For more than a decade, Jenna Metcalf has never stopped thinking about her mother Alice, who mysteriously disappeared following a tragic accident. Refusing to believe she was abandoned, Jenna regularly searches online and pores over Alice’s old journals to try and discover clues to her
whereabouts. Desperate to find the truth, Jenna enlists the help of a psychic who is beginning to doubt her gifts and the jaded private detective who originally investigated the case. As the three work together to discover the truth, they find that asking hard questions means they have to face even harder answers.
3. Lemmings commit suicide: We’ve all seen documentary footage of cute little lemmings plunging off cliffs in throngs. But the truth is that they sometimes fall off cliffs when they lose their bearings while migrating to areas they are unfamiliar with.
5. Your fingers wrinkle due to absorbing water: When you step out of the bath or shower and the tips of your fingers are all wrinkly, it’s not because they have been absorbing water. They wrinkle as part of an evolved mechanism

Just Joking A teacher is discussing natural history with her class and says: “Worker ants can carry food particles that are five times their own weight. What is to be learned from this?” A little kid raises his hand and replies: “They don’t have a union.” I was having dinner with world chess champion Gary Kasparov and the table had a check tablecloth. It took him two hours to pass the salt.
to help our ancestors get a better grip in aquatic environments. 6. Only 10 per cent of the brain is used: Poppycock! Nature would have evolved us with smaller brains if 90 per cent was just sitting there unused. The physiology of brain mapping shows that all areas of the brain have a function. One of the most common untruths out there. 7. Cracking your knuckles causes arthritis: While studies have shown that over a long period of time knucklecracking can lead to a weaker grip, there is no connection between arthritis and the annoying/satisfying (depending on your view) act of cracking your knuckles. 8. Goldfish have only a three second memory: That’s why they don’t mind swimming around in circles all day long, right? Wrong. Studies have shown that goldfish can actually remember for up to five months. They swim around in circles because, well, what else is there to do in a goldfish bowl? 9. The five-second rule: If you drop a bit of food on the floor but pick it up before five seconds it will be alright. Actually, it will be swimming with bacteria even if you somehow managed to pick it up after a millisecond.
4. Einstein failed maths at school: This was always a hard one to swallow and in fact it’s not true. By the age of 15 the mathematical genius had mastered differential and integral calculus and actually learned geometry and algebra on his own.

Flu - home remedies to fight the virus TTHE sudden arrival of low temperatures has been accompanied by an influenza outbreak in many regions of Spain. According to experts, the epidemic level is still no higher than in previous years, but they predict that in the coming weeks it will increase. Here, we look at some home remedies believed to ease flu symptoms: Drink plenty of fluids. Drinking (eight to
12 glasses of water or tea) is fundamental to relieve flu symptoms, which usually lead to dehydration. Gargling with salt or baking soda. Mix the ingredients with warm water and gargle several times a day to help relieve sore throats. Honey and lemon. Either taken separately or mixed together with warm water, honey and lemon can relieve symptoms and
soothe sore throats. Teas or infusions of garlic and onion. Both plants are good allies to combat flu. If the taste is too strong, sweeten with honey, but not with sugar as it inhibits their natural healing qualities. Ginger tea. Ginger has analgesic and antibacterial healing properties. Medics say the best way to avoid the flu is to be vaccinated.

My motto is, never leave for tomorrow what you can do today Erica Russell Watson: My journey – and I’m driving
28th January THE day before my chemo session was spent busily cleaning the house and getting things ready ahead of round four. You never know just quite how you are going to react to the treatment, so it is better to be prepared and have your shopping done and meals prepared ahead of time. My motto is never leave for tomorrow what you can do today. A lesson that has taken me many years to learn, but the ‘do it now policy’ works! Someone taught me that, you know who you are! I flopped into bed exhausted not having stopped all day, cooking, cleaning, revising with the children and collecting the car after its pre-MOT check. I’ve decided that life is one big MOT, both for our possessions
and our bodies! I thoroughly recommend a regular service or body MOT - prevention is better than cure! Don’t wait until you are 50 to have a mammogram. I am 42 and despite having regular check-ups, smear tests and blood tests, I was told I was too young to have a mammogram. This is obviously if you are a patient with the National Health Service. Really you should start much sooner. It is important to be selfaware and check your breasts every month around the time of your period. No-one knows your body better than you, so you will be the first to know if there are any appreciable changes in your body. Perhaps you will notice a change in skin texture or colour, an inverted or leaking nipple or a lump in either your breast or armpit. I only realised something was wrong when I noticed a thickening in the skin around my areola and a change in skin texture a bit like orange peel. One day I was fine and the next it appeared. I could not detect any lumps in the breast, so worked my way up into my armpit. I found a hard lump the size of a walnut but very deep so it took some delving. I didn’t have a temperature and the
I’ve decided, life is one big MOT, both for our possessions and our bodies. lump wasn’t painful, so I immediately suspected something wasn’t right. I went straight to the doctor and was booked in for biopsies the following week, which came back positive for grade three cancer. Act quickly or repent at leisure! With the eldest child’s favourite belt located, I made the children’s sandwiches… they normally make their own but as I was up so early I did it for a change. Reminded me of when they were little. Where do the years go? Then time to be out the door. I was happy to get my usual spot in the hospital car park, no mean feat as parking is very limited. I was second in the queue for my blood tests and then straight up to book my oncology appointment. It is a bit of a race, but just as well I got in first as there were
to be complications. Off to get some protein on board and a nice cup of coffee. I write this as I sit waiting and listening to various conversations. Generally people are quite upbeat. Coincidently a daughter of a mother having chemo for breast cancer started talking about the best age to have a mammogram. The daughter was 37 and said that she was told by her doctor she didn’t need one. Well, it didn’t take long for the whole waiting room to get involved!! If you are familiar with Spanish hospital and doctor’s waiting rooms, then you’ll know that they speak very openly and expect you to do the same. Everyone has an opinion and they like to share it with you irrespective of whether you want to hear it or not!! In this case I was in favour as the daughter sitting next to me appeared not to realise the relevance of her mother’s situation to her. She said that as the doctor had told her she was too young for a mammogram she was going to leave it at that. The Spanish rather deify doctors in my opinion and are not used to questioning them or getting second opinions. In this
case though all the women in the waiting room descended like clucking chickens and told her she had to insist or find the money to have it done privately. This wasn’t something that could be left to chance for a few years. I repeat, early detection is vital and if the outcome of the tests is negative, then you have peace of mind and if not, you have a head start on cancer. It was time to listen to some music and relax. As always it would be a three-hour wait, minimum. Just one day in my life, so no need to get uptight. I would practise my breathing and ‘be in the moment,’ something Bertie has taught me. Finally I was called in to see my doctor. Everything was fine and I was good to go. The pharmacologist mixing up our chemo cocktails was ill, so they were ordering our treatments from another source, a bit like a take-away. I would have preferred crispy duck! Four attempts to get my line in… Nothing to be done as your veins and arteries take a pasting, but in it was and I had my treatment and I was halfway through. Rather jubilant, I went home to rest and to fight another day.
Could drinking too much water be bad for your health? WE’RE always being told of the health benefits of drinking plenty of water, but now experts say
drinking too much could actually be harmful. They say not only could it lead to kidney problems, but could also trigger symptoms such as excessive sweating. One surgeon from a clinic in London said he is seeing more patients suffer from over-sweating, a condition known as hyperhidrosis. He said the first thing he asks is how much water they drink and said that medically, being told to drink
between two and three litres of water a day is incorrect, as if you were in intensive care you would be given 1.5 litres of fluid every 24 hours. There is no set way of defining excessive sweating, but if sweating is interfering with daily life and normal activities, a person may be diagnosed with hyperhidrosis. Treatments such as medication to block the sweat glands and surgery
can be considered by sufferers. Drinking excessive water can also lead to loss of sleep as people have to get up in the night to go to the toilet, and other studies show it can even cause kidney damage, instead of preventing it. Too much water can also lead to a rare but potentially fatal condition called hyponatraemia, which sees the body’s salt levels drop and can lead to swelling of the brain.

MyWebDoctor’s online service A BRITISH GP, and frequent visitor to the Costa del Sol, has set up an entrepreneurial online doctor service that can at last give thousands of people living in Spain peace of mind for their healthcare. With everyday nonemergency health needs in mind, MyWebDoctor will give you the reassurance of having a UK doctor at your fingertips literally - right on the end of your mobile phone, tablet or computer. Mirroring the NHS in its ease of access and high medical standards, Dr Helen Webberley aims to provide quality routine healthcare at a price that will suit all pockets. For only £12.99 per month, the service allows you unlimited access to advice from a GMC-registered UK GP. www.MyWebDoctor.co.uk allows its members to email their query or request a
DR HELEN WEBBERLEY: Aims to provide quality healthcare. telephone call to discuss your problem in person. If medicines are needed then the price of the private prescription is included in the subscription fee, and the British pharmacy can send out your medication to be delivered to your Spanish address. The actual price of the medication and postage is payable to the chemist, but with a box of penicillin priced
at about £1, this makes it cheaper than the NHS prescription charge! If you need any blood tests or swabs, then these can be sent out in home testing kits. The kit contains a swab or a finger-prick blood test that can be done by you at home and sent back to the UK laboratory for testing. “As well as treating routine
minor illness, this is really going to open up options for those people who are on regular medication,” says Dr Webberley. “For example those people on blood pressure or diabetic tablets can now have six months of their medication sent to them in the post for a very reasonable price, and can even have blood tests to make
sure they are being monitored properly.” Although not everything can be dealt with remotely, it is surprising how much can be. If people are worried about skin rashes or lumps or bumps, they can upload photos for the doctor to review. If a clinical examination is necessary then Dr Webberley and her team can advise people to have a face to face visit with a doctor, but even this is useful advice for those wondering whether to book an actual appointment with a doctor in Spain. Dr Webberley acknowledges that this is not an emergency service, and people with medical emergencies should call 061 as usual. However, this is going to bring NHS quality healthcare to you wherever you may be. Dr Helen Webberley onlineGPservices@gmail.com www.MyWebDoctor.co.uk

Samaritans in Spain and the 902 number EVERY now and then someone complains that Samaritans in Spain are making money from callers who use the service. This is based on the fact that all 902 numbers are premium rate numbers. This could not be further from the truth; in fact, it costs SiS money to run this service. The problem arises from Telefonica lumping premium RATE and premium SERVICE into the one 902 range. Whether the number is premium rate or premium service depends on the fourth number. 902 followed by 1, 2, 3 or 4 are premium rates, from which the receiving company benefits financially. The 902 numbers followed by 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 are to provide a premium service, from which the receiver gains no financial benefit. For example, the charity Samaritans in
20:00-08:00, weekends and public holidays, and €0.07/min: Mon-Fri 08:00-20:00. Calls from mobiles are CONSIDERABLY more. Mobile providers set their own rates ranging from 0.20 cents per minute, to over 0.80 cents per minute, plus a connection charge from 0.12 to 0.20 cents. Samaritans in Spain have no control over these charges, nor do they benefit from them.
SAMARITANS: A not-for-profit organisation. Spain uses the number 902 88 35 35, the fourth digit is 8, meaning the number is not connected to any local telephone exchange and allows the Samaritans to have phones in several locations attached to the 902 88 35 35 number. This means that whenever someone calls their number, whether
they are calling from Madrid, Barcelona, Marbella or the Balearics, they are connected to the next available listener. All Samaritans in Spain calls to 902 88 numbers are charged at national call rates. From landlines the connection charge is €0.08 plus €0.04/min: Mon-Fri
Further information about Samaritans in Spain can be found on www.samaritansinspain. com or Facebook: www.facebook.com/ pages/Samaritans-inSpain/342312575891259

One in five are believed to carry the gene variant, known as KL-VS, which is also linked to a long lifespan and having a larger part of the brain linked to decision-making. The discovery could have implications for sufferers of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

Not many of us like being uncomfortable but it could be good for your health BEING a bit uncomfortable could actually be good for you. Not many of us like being cold or wearing uncomfortable shoes, but research suggests this may be better for your health in some cases... Loo stop A urologist in Birmingham, UK, said many bladder problems come from past habits such as emptying your bladder too often. Over time, this could lead to training your bladder to become more sensitive and being overactive. So rather than heading to the bathroom as soon as you get the first twinge, leave it a few minutes.
Cold showers also increase levels of endorphins that raise our mood and make us feel happier.
WEARING HEELS: Can increase strength and reduce the risk of problems such as stress incontinence.
Be smart Some physiotherapists suggest that when people wear slouchy, comfy clothes, they get in the
mindset of being slouchy. Wearing smart, formal clothes makes people stand straighter and engage more muscles.
Wearing heels A day wearing heels may not be the most comfortable, but a study found that wearing twoinch heels activates the pelvic floor muscles, working the muscles, helping to increase strength and reduce the risk of problems including stress incontinence.
Cold baths A warm bath is tempting to ease aching muscles, but try a cold shower or cool
bath instead as the cold is thought to be best for reducing pain and inflammation in muscles.
Get stressed Short bursts of stress can trigger positive reactions in the body and help the immune system become more efficient at fighting infection.

Top Thai for service with a smile WHEN I entered Top Thai, I was instantly transported back to my time in Thailand. I was greeted at the door by elegantly uniformed staff with the traditional Thai ‘Wai’ greeting and a warm smile I remember so well. Entering the large main dining area, I was impressed with the subtle and elegant eastern influences visible within the earthy, natural decor and I felt instantly relaxed and at ease.

FIRST it was your brand new socks. Then he went for the living room rug. Sometimes, he might even go for your hand. At first it was cute, but it needs to be controlled. Whether he’s manifesting anxiety or simply teething, you can prevent future problems with training. Your puppy’s mouth is his primary learning tool. From socks to pant legs, puppies normally chew on items around the house because they are bored, energetic, teething or simply curious. Uncontrollable chewing can also signal emotional problems. Like
loss of appetite or a change in barking pitch, excessive chewing is a sign of emotional stress. To help alleviate your dog’s stress, you should keep his schedule consistent, spend quality time with him and make sure he exercises. Remove temptations. Until he learns to like chew toys, remove socks, furniture, plants and other favourite items from the area in which your puppy is kept. Don’t forget to tape over electrical outlets and keep cords out of reach! Because your dog needs gum stimulation, he’ll always chew; the trick is to
teach him to chew items such as a treat filled Kong. Modern thinking is to teach your dog to get used to a crate. Confine your puppy. If your pup doesn’t have free access to the house, he can’t tear it to shreds. Until he knows better, keep him confined to his crate or an area like the kitchen or basement possibly with a child gate. You need to focus your puppy’s chewing. You have a wide range of items to offer, from knotted rawhide to squeaky balls and teething toys. Don’t give him items that resemble what he shouldn’t chew.
PUPPY’S MOUTH: His primary learning tool.
Blackie finds a playmate By Lamia Walker of HousesitMatch REGULAR readers of this column may remember about nine months ago we wrote about a shy black cat living on the coast in Fuengirola, and the American house sitter who came to stay to care for him while his owners were on holiday. We are happy to report that based on the success of that housesit, the owners are planning ahead for holidays in March and July. Derek and Jenni the
owners explained to me recently that they had noticed Blackie, their cat, hanging out with a little friend - a beautiful tortoiseshell. They were often to be seen together sitting near each other in the shade of the garden. After many enquiries it appeared that the very pretty tortoiseshell might be abandoned, so they began to feed her, and she stayed. The two felines really do appear to be firm friends. The next house sits

The Robsat IPTV system has almost 500 channels with catch-up on 53 channels! FEBRUARY 6, 2014, was a landmark date in the history of British expats living in Spain when the BBC channels disappeared from their screens. Now we can look back and compare the differences between the equipment available then and now. In February 2014, the average IPTV system had less than 100 channels and less than 100 movies on demand without the catch-up service. Many systems didn’t have any on demand but the Robsat IPTV system now has almost 500 channels and 1,078 movies and box sets on demand and the list grows weekly. On demand means they are always there and you can watch at anytime you choose. Catch up, where the programmes on particular channels are recorded on

the server and are available to watch at anytime during a particular time frame, for example seven days. Now people will tell you their system has catch up but not on how many channels. I have not seen a system on the coast apart from ours that has more than 25 channels with catch up as it is very expensive to run. The Robsat IPTV system currently has catch up on 53 channels! The Robsat IPTV
system also has 297 radio stations including all the major UK channels.
Many people are tempted to buy the cheaper Android open
source systems which differ from the Robsat system which has its own dedicated servers. The Android systems are fine if you don’t mind waiting for 60 seconds every time you change the channel. The Robsat IPTV system changes channels typically in two seconds but faster than that if you have really fast Internet speed. We can also supply internet through our 4G routers. If you already have an
IPTV system you can easily upgrade to the Robsat system. If you have a MAG250 or MAG254 then we can use your existing box. The Robsat IPTV system, despite having more channels, much more movies, many more radio stations and twice as many channels with catch up, is cheaper than all of our nearest competitors.

Harvesting and processing olives Harvesting THE three main objectives of harvesting olives are: pick when ready for preparing eating olives or making olive oil, to cause as little bruising as possible and cause as little damage to the trees as possible. Olives for eating need to be picked while still firm. Olives for oil can be picked at the same stage or left to fully swell to maximise the overall yields. Some high quality producers still pick by hand. However, most olives are allowed to fall naturally or racked, knocked off with long canes, or shaken off with mechanical tree shakers into nets and then transferred to plastic boxes. To reduce harvesting costs, the ground under trees is sometimes laid bare by using weedkiller two weeks before shaking the olives onto the ground when they are blown or brushed into heaps for sacking. Yields can vary from 10 to 110 kilos or more per tree depending on the age, health and pruning of the tree, and the summer and autumn sunshine and rainfalls. Pickling olives to eat See Chapter 78 of ‘Growing
Dick Handscombe
Gardening Corner By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.
Healthy Fruit in Spain’ for our favourite methods and recipes. Producing olive oil To extract high quality oil from olives they need to be processed as soon after harvesting as possible to minimise the onset of fermentation that can spoil the taste. The process is as follows: riddling to remove leaves and stones, washing if allowed to fall on the ground before harvesting, the picking out of obviously bad olives, milling/mashing the olives to create a paste, pressing of the paste to extract the oil and water and then the separation of the oil from the oil/water mix and pouring into storage vessels. These days quality plastic bottles or storage tanks are used. There are four ways to process olive to oil. 1. Purchase a manually or power
operated mill/masher and press yourself or with a group of friends. 2. Arrange for a friend or local villager to do the pressing for you in an historic or new old-style press. 3. Arrange for a larger agricultural co-operative mill to process your olives mixed in with those of other growers. Commercially, olive oils are classified in descending quality order as Extra Virgin, Virgin, Ordinary Virgin Olive Oil, Olive Oil, Refined Olive Oil and Lamp Oil. The standard maximum acceptable acidity levels are 1.0 per cent for Extra Virgin, 2.0 per cent for Virgin and 3.3 per cent for Ordinary Virgin. A good yield is a litre of oil from five kilos of olives. A poor yield from poor olives can be as little as a litre from seven or eight kilos. Bottled olive oil is best stored in a cool dark place. Good quality oil can be stored for many years. It is not desirable to add preservatives. Coastal harvesting will now be complete but it will continue in colder inland and northern areas. ©Dick Handscombe www.gardenspain.com February 2015

RANCHO ALTO is a three bedroom, three bathroom villa in an elevated position on the outskirts of Coin, a short distance from the Ronda road. The majority of the villa is on one level with a rustic style kitchen/utility area, a large lounge/ diner with open fireplace, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The upper level is reserved for the large master bedroom with an en suite bathroom. Outside there is parking for several cars and at the rear of the villa a large flat area surrounding the 8x4 pool. The rest of the plot which is in two parts to the front and rear of the villa could easily become a productive orchard or smallholding. The property has been successfully rented out as a holiday let but would make a great family home for someone wanting to be in the countryside and within walking distance of the town. Priced to sell but sensible offers considered. Arriba!

Mortgage lending rises for 6 consecutive months THE upward curve in the rate of mortgage lending continued in November last year, according to the Spanish central statistics unit. Over the month, a total of 15,900 loans for residential properties were granted by Spanish banks, a 14.2 per cent jump compared to November 2013. The total amount of money loaned in mortgages also rose yearon-year, but at a slightly lower rate of 12.2 per cent, meaning the average amount given in mortgages dropped slightly, to €140,817 per home. Andalucia topped the regional list of the number of mortgages loaned by banks, at 3,183, followed by Madrid, Catalonia then Valencia. November’s national total was lower than October 2014, but still shows the sixth consecutive month of year-on-year increases higher than 10 per cent, suggesting healthier signs of activity in the residential sector. However, Spain’s largest bank, Santander, has poured cold water

in credit was more likely to go towards “small and medium-sized companies, not estate agencies.” In the same note, the bank said it would be 2018 before the Spanish economy recovered its 2008 levels.

5 - 11 February 2015 / Costa del Sol YOUNG DOMESTICATED cats rescued from the killing station need kind homes. Fully vaccinated and neutered, free of charge. We will also deliver to England for a donation to the charity. Please give one of these beautiful cats a home so we can save more from death. Can be seen without obligation at Cat and Dog World Kennels. Tel. 630 197 435 (93398)
CHARITIES ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. (5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call Marjorie 952 79 74 05 or 636 934 146 (93319) ACE CHARITY “El Refugio” in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public week-ends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) 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. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875. Visit our website www.sos-animals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way. (93317)

Legends and classics on display steal the show at Retro Malaga
LOVERS of old and classic cars had a treat last weekend at the Retro Auto and Motor Show in Malaga. And some of the stars of the event were brought in by local companies to show off the skill and passion that exists on the Costa del Sol when it comes to looking after and restoring classic cars. Auto Legends attracted a vast amount of attention, not just for their impressive collecton of Ferraris but also for a stunning 1968 Series 2 Jaguar E Type. Barry Gorst from the Nueva Andalucia based company said: “People
have been telling us it has been the car of the show for them. There has been a huge amount of interest, it seems to have been coming in waves of people. The E Type drew attention, as did the Ferraris. It’s a shame we couldn’t fit all the ones we have into the hall!” Another local business pleased with the Retro Malaga Show at the Palacio de Ferias and Congresos, was Coast Classics from Estepona, who would argue that they had a contender for car of the show. They had a pristine 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 on display. So good is the restoration by Andreas Ullstein and his team that it won the 2013 Gold Award from the Mustang Club of America. “It is super original,” said Andreas. “We have done no

It still has the original mechanic’s initials on the parts where they were first fitted in 1969.” Also on show was a 1932 Ford Sedan Hot Rod. Also at the show were a Ferrari 250GT Coupe Speciale – only four were made – a Citroen DS 19 Cabrio La Croisette (one of eight built) and a 1934 Lancia Dilambda.
They were just some of the many models on show at the event that has become a magnet for people who want to buy or sell anything to do with classic cars, or just see some of the beautiful vehicles for themselves.

www.coast-classic.com • +34 951 318 165 CLASSIC: POCA members meet regularly to travel Andalucia in their stunning cars.
Andalucian Porsche Owners Club celebrates first birthday THE Porsche Owners Club of Andalucia (POCA) will be celebrating its first anniversary on February 22 with a run through the hills and lunch in Marbella. A 70-kilometre drive will conclude with a meal specially designed by Chef de Cuisine Ewald Fichthaler at Nueva Kaskada Restaurant in Marbella.
Annabel Milnes-Smith explained that the club was created in February 2014 by Gary Compson, a retired British Army Major, to bring like-minded Porsche owners and enthusiasts together. More than 50 members of various nationalities, including British, Spanish, Scandinavian, Lithuanian, Belgian and Irish, meet for monthly
rallies bringing family and friends along to share their love of Porsches while touring the countryside of Andalucia. Events including trips to race tracks and testing days are also organised by the club. More information on POCA can be found at www.porscheownersandalucia.eu
Alfa Romeo’s new open top THE latest open top Alfa Romeo Spider has been revealed. The production version of the 4C Spider features a unique carbon fibre windscreen frame and to save weight in the ultra-light model. New design points feature an Akrapovic dualmode exhaust system, new alloy wheel designs and a new colour, with the car due to be released onto the European market this summer. Prices have not been announced yet. Like its Coupé sibling, the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider is built around an exotic, ultra-lightweight monocoque chassis using layered carbon fibre that is three times stronger and seven times lighter than steel. Because of its inherent rigidity, Alfa Romeo engineers were able to minimise structural differences between the 4C Spider and 4C Coupé. As with the Coupé, the bodywork is made entirely from SMC (sheet moulded compound), a lowdensity, high-strength composite material that is 20 per cent lighter and dimensionally more rigid than steel, and even the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider’s windscreen and side windows have been optimised for lightness, using 10 per cent thinner glass to reduce weight by up to 15 per cent. The European specifications for the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider have yet to be announced.

HAVING travelled over 25,000 miles by land, sea and air, I am now back in sunny Spain with my first weekly sport bulletin since early January and over last weekend there was some terrific action. * Andy Murray lost to world number one Novak Djokovic in the final of the men’s singles final in Melbourne. After three great sets the Scot lost 6-0 in the fourth as the Serb collected his eighth Grand Slam title. The majestic Serena Williams beat Maria Sharapova in the women’s final. * Also ‘down under’
England were thumped by Australia in the final of the Tri-Nations cricket competition. After twice beating India comfortably, they were no match for the Maxwellinspired Aussies in the final, losing by 112 runs. Remaining with the hardball game, Perth Scorchers retained their 20/20 Big Bash title, beating Sydney Sixers by four wickets in the final game. * England’s Moeen Ali has been named Wisden’s 2014 Cricketer of the Year. * Chelsea remain four points clear of reigning champions Manchester City after the top two drew 1-1 at Stamford Bridge. Manchester United are third (after beating Leicester City 3-1), while Arsenal walloped hapless Aston Villa 5-0 at The Emirates. The pressure is now certainly on Villa’s boss Paul Lambert.
