London is calling

By Matt Ford & Matthew Elliot Even the doom and gloom over Brexit couldn’t take the shine off a fantastic showing from both the Costa del Sol and Marbella at the World Travel Market (WTM) megaevent in London this week.

The Junta de Andalucia’s tourist board splashed out on two massive video displays being broadcast daily on giant screens in Piccadilly Circus and Camden Town until December 18.

Marbella’s stand was spruced up with a clutch of current and ex-Premier League football superstars, including Luke Chambers, Dean Austin, and Alan Hutton, with referee Mark Clattenburg and agent Rob Segal adding to the snazzy exhibition.

City Mayor Jose Bernal said that associating the name of Marbella with elite

sport was worth its weight in gold, while the Costa del Sol’s tourism chief Elias Bendodo waxed lyrical about a new promotion campaign in Scotland and plans to get both Rangers and Celtic over to train.

If the claims sound dramatic it’s because the stakes are high. Very high.

Your papers, your views Our readers have been expressing their views about the Battle against Brexit interview with Charlie Mullins.

www.euroweeklynews.com Here are a few comments some of which have had to be cut due to size. We are always happy to hear from everyone.

False outrage WHY are Leavers so upset that the court ruled in parliament’s favour? Wasn’t the whole point of Brexit to bring power back to parliament? Leaving such an important decision in the hands of a (very tight) popular vote has no constitutional precedence in the UK and is utter folly.

James

Practical advice

DISASTROUS MISTAKE: For Britain Charlie Mullins believes.

Battling against Brexit

By Matthew Elliott “EVEN Stevie Wonder can see what’s happening,” says Charlie Mullins, who has never been one to mince his words. Speaking exclusively with Euro Weekly News, the brains behind Pimlico Plumbers is adamant that leaving the EU is a disastrous mistake for Britain.

“There’s already a skills shortage and the lack of free movement will drive construction to a standstill,” he replies when pressed on what Brexit’s immediate impact will be.

“You’ve got 80-90 per cent of workers on site are from the EU... and they’re taxpayers too!”

“Now many are returning home, jumping ship because of the uncertainty,” he says, arguing that without migrant labour the Olympics and Heathrow’s expansion would be pipe dreams.

Mullins knows what he’s talking about.

One of the UK’s most successful and outspoken businessmen, he founded Pimlico Plumbers from scratch in 1979 and transformed it into a household name with an annual turnover of £20 million.

Appearances on Panorama, donations to the Conservative party, and impassioned defence of Britain’s place in Europe has seen the businessman and philanthropist evolve into a political activist.

So much so that he helped fund the successful High Court challenge over the government’s right to trigger Article 50 without parliamentary approval.

“People are happy that we’re standing up to fight,” he says on the case, which has pitted pro-Brexit me-

People were misled over the £350 million... the 350 million lie on that bus, and Boris Johnson selfishly trying to become prime minister, did it for the UK.” dia against the judiciary, “even if we leave, we should at least do it right.”

But should the referendum result not supersede the influence of parliament?

“A 52/48 vote wasn’t really the ‘will of the people,’ plus you’ve 650 MPs who didn’t even get involved.”

Mullins is scathing of the Leave campaign, which he accuses of blatant dishonesty.

“People were misled over the £350 million (promised from the EU to the NHS)... the 350 million lie on that bus, and Boris Johnson selfishly trying to become prime minister, did it for the UK.” He describes the High Court ruling that parliament must trigger Article 50, not ministers alone, as a victory for common sense.

“You’ve got three judges, two of them the highest in the land, and they took less than 120 seconds to sum it up and blow the government’s case out of the water. It’s black and white, in 1972 parliament voted to join the EC and only they can vote to leave.”

Mullins notes with a tinge of irony that the “top two people in the country, Theresa May and Philip Hammond, were Remain people who switched horses after the fact” and are now muddying the waters by trying to make a case they clearly don’t believe in.

So how can you make the ‘remain’ case and change people’s minds?

“Well, you’ve got a mixture of Leave people who are now worried nothing will change and Remainers who are very happy with the court case and don’t want to leave, so it’s hard.”

Mullins says it’s important to focus on simple facts, which he has a keen eye on as a businessman.

“Boiler parts are more expensive, there’s job losses, supplies, food and fuel costs are all going up, the pound’s dropped, the writing’s on the wall.”

He speaks to big business owners he says, and the money flow has stopped. The UK is not a place to be looking to invest.

“Look at the facts,” he implores, “it’s not a coincidence that the pound fell and then rose after the court judgement.”

“The disadvantages of leaving clearly outweigh the benefits, we will be in a mess and we will be poorer.”

Where do British expats fit in to all this? (Mullins spends five months of the year in Spain and is a huge contributor to local charities) “People are concerned with their pensions, they want to know, can I survive and stay in Spain?

“Now they know they can expect less for their money... people may have voted for Brexit, but nobody voted to lose their money.”

THANK you! Finally someone who actually knows what they’re talking about putting this terrible decision in context. We here in Spain are losing money, our pensions are under threat and the situation back in the UK gets worse by the day. Mullins knows the system, we ignore his warning at our peril.

Heather

Storm and stress OF course it’s right that parliament should vote on Article 50 but Mr Mullins doesn’t realise that this is simply the final nail in the ‘remain coffin.’ MPs won’t dare vote against the referendum or they’ll lose their jobs. They will vote for it, give Brexit full legitimacy and then we’ll wait for Boris’ ‘sturm und drang.’

Thomas

Decision time FRANKLY I’ve lost the ability to care if we leave or not.

Just make a decision either way! If we knew it was a hard Brexit at least we could all start preparing. Right now everyone is clueless even on the basics, we’ve become a laughing stock that markets and other countries simply can’t trust. It’s time to make our minds up.

The 46-year-old’s family expected her to spend no more than 24 hours at the Humanline Banus hospital recovering from a routine facelift and liposuction treatment. She went in on Friday for eyelid reduction, and liposuction on her arms and was told she would likely go home the same day or the following morning.

Holiday ruse leaves hotel owners reeling

By Sam Croft A NEW scam has begun to spring up with increasing frequency along the Costa del Sol. The primary victims are hotels and the primary perpetrators are shady British lawyers.

Typically these lawyers set up their vans near hotels and then approach tourists, asking them if they would like their holidays to be completely free. The question appears innocent enough at first glance but it is in fact only the tip of the iceberg in a far-ranging scam which has put a huge dent in the bank accounts of many Spanish hotel owners.

The next step in the scam is for the holidaymakers to lodge a false complaint against the hotel once they arrive back in Britain. Food poisoning is a typical claim. The es-

done with the nasty business.

The scam has been so successful mainly because of legal differences between Great Britain and Spain. In Britain, the system gives priority to the complainant due to the presumption of guilt and the accused is forced to demonstrate their innocence.

Aehcos, the Hotel Owner’s Association of the Costa del Sol, is looking into ways nip this problem in the bud before it gets out of control.

Some representatives from Aehcos have suggested a proposal that any complaints against hotels must be presented in Spain. The association, has noted, however, that as British tourists make up a huge portion of the visitors to the Costa del Sol, it will attempt to avoid implementing any regulations which will complicate the lives of holidaymakers.

“First and foremost I love Marbella,” she told the newspaper.

“The fact that it’s surrounded by beautiful beaches and warm people always brings me back.

The energy is right! It’s a stunning city filled with character and potential, coming out there to perform would be amazing to capture those vibes.

“I visited Marbella as a child with family and we always had the best holidays. So I have very positive memories. My favourite town is Puerto Banus, it’s a refined area filled with a lot of excitement.

Shanty towns need a decision for the future POLITICIANS continue to argue over the future of a 17-hectare plot of land in Malaga City while locals complain of the state of the area and the shanty towns tucked amongst the undergrowth.

Known as the Repsol plot, the land housed huge petrol tanks from the 1960s up to 2000, when the petrol company dismantled them and moved on, leaving a distinct whiff of petrol and an abandoned expanse of land.

The mayor of the city seems intent on the land becoming the site of a complex of skyscrapers but has met harsh resistance from the left-wing opposition parties, which insist the urban woodland planned for

in 1983 is created.

Meanwhile Ciudadanos party is stuck in the middle, suggesting a bit of both would be the obvious agreement.

As the bigwigs bicker, inhabitants of the tents and camps set up on the land go about their usual daily business of begging money to send home to their children in Romania and wait to see what is to become of their temporary home.

Local residents’ opinions are split as, they say, those occupying the land cause no trouble. However, everyone in the area agrees that something should be done about the huge abandoned eyesore which continues to gather rubbish.

Burgling brothers nabbed by police TWO brothers have been arrested in Torremolinos for allegedly committing various robberies in the centre of Malaga City.

The two men, 41, allegedly targeted businesses and offices, which they typically accessed by scaling the sides of the buildings and breaking the locks on windows. In other instances, they used tools to bust the locks on the front doors. They allegedly stole money, computers, and other objects of value.

The investigations initially began after owners of various businesses reported having been burgled. On apprehending the two men, National Police officers searched several storage rooms and vehicles belonging to them, as well as their residence.

During the searches, the officers not only discovered some of the stolen goods, but several handguns, handcuffs, and identification the brothers apparently used to pose as National Police officers.

Activist raising plight of climate AN environmental activist has been cycling through Spain to highlight the damage mankind is doing to the natural world.

Martin Hutchinson has spent nine years walking, cycling and making his case to whoever will listen, much of it in Latin America.

He wants to galvanise ordinary people into putting pressure on their governments to stop the dumping of waste in particular.

The starkest example, he says, is the unprocessed rubbish being tipped by the truckload into the Amazon River.

“They are just dumping rubbish into the Amazon four times a day and this has been going on for 20 years and nobody’s doing anything about it,” he said.

“We live on a most incredible planet but we’re not doing enough to protect it.

“For instance, everyone talks about protecting the Amazon but nobody’s doing anything to stop the damage.”

Martin says his journey has not been without hardship and he has been attacked three times, one of those with an axe, but he is not put off and is determined to continue.

He has set up a petition at https://goo.gl/Wm2JV7 in the hope of raising awareness and pressurising government bodies to act, and hopes EWN readers will join the campaign.

We all need to be aware of the impact we have on the natural world. If we don’t the long-term consequences will be very severe,” said Martin.

‘Parliament must approve Brexit’ BREXIT PAGE

By Matthew Elliott and Simon Firth

THE UK government has lost round one.

The High Court ruled only parliament has the authority to trigger Article 50 and inform Brussels that the UK intends to leave the EU. Delivering the judgement, the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, said “the most fundamental rule of the UK constitution is that parliament is sovereign.”

Alth o u g h su b j e c t to ap p e a l at th e Supreme Court, the decision is a blow to Theresa May who planned to trigger Article 50 nex t Ma r c h u si n g ro y al p re ro g a tiv e alone.

The reaction to the judges’ ruling was met with vitriol by some sections of the UK press, the Daily Mail running the headline ‘Enemies of the People’ and the Daily Express dubbing it ‘the day democracy died.’

HIGH COURT RULING: Was met with vitriol by some of the UK press.

G in a M ille r, the inve s tme nt ma na ge r whose funds backed the legal challenge, accused some politicians and the media of “whipping this up because they are the ones inciting racism and violence and acrimony.”

Somewhat belatedly, the Lord Chancellor Liz Truss, who is also the justice secretary, issued a short statement.

She did not rebuke the papers for their coverage, stating merely that the judiciary “is rightly respected the world over for its independence and impartiality.”

The government’s appeal will be heard next month before the Supreme Court.

Some observers have even suggested, somewhat tongue in cheek, that if she does-

The majority of MPs are believed to be firmly against Brexit but defying the result would be hugely controversial and could spark a constitutional crisis.

That poses no problem for the markets.

Within seconds of the judgement sterling rose dramatically.

Meanwhile, Theresa May has insisted the government will not be distracted and that it is ‘business as usual’ where Brexit is concerned.

One respected political commentator put it this way: “The only way of making this headache go away could be an early general election.”

Brakes put on mendacious motorist THE Guardia Civil’s traffic detachment in Marbella has arrested a 33-year-old man over an alleged hit-and-run incident on the A-7 motorway in Sabinallas, close to Manilva.

The incident took place at around 8.30am on November 1, when the detainee apparently ran over a cyclist before fleeing the scene, leaving the latter lying by the road with ‘serious injuries.’

Specifically, the unfortunate Casares resident suffered two pulmonary edemas, five broken ribs, a damaged vertebra and several cuts to the head, although he is said to be recovering well.

The perpetrator then drove his Opel Zafira to a shopping centre car park, where he set fire to the vehicle and beat a hasty retreat.

A few hours later the suspect filed a report that his car had been stolen, but a police investigation revealed that he had fabricated the story in an attempt to cover his tracks.

Having seen the story emerge on social media, the thief panicked and fled to Algeciras, where he was eventually found by police investigators.

Family’s gruesome graveyard discovery

By Matt Ford A FAMILY group who visited the grave of a relative at the Parque Cementerio in Malaga City were shocked by the macabre sight of a real heart on his tombstone.

Although initial tests indicate the grisly remains to be of animal origin, police scientists will conduct forensic work, including DNA tests, in order to be sure.

The family stopped by at the security guard’s quarters

on their way out of the cemetery to inform him that they had found ‘something strange’ on the grave, and had placed it in a plastic bag before throwing it into a nearby bin.

The guard informed his boss who decided to alert the police given the bizarre nature of the find, and a patrol removed the heart following the same protocol as if it were a dead body.

They were able to confirm that it was a heart at

the scene, but could not verify if it was human or not since it was partially decomposed.

It was transferred to the Institute of Legal Medicine, who sent samples to the Institute of Toxicology in Sevilla to determine its origin.

Should it turn out to be animal, the most likely candidate is a pig, since their hearts share quite similar morphology to those of humans.

Ex jailed for keeping cash A MALAGA Provincial Court has jailed a man for two years for keeping €136,707 he should have given his ex-wife after selling the marital home upon their divorce.

The defendant was found guilty of falsely claiming to have made investments with the

Now, along with the jail sentence he will have to give his former partner the money and pay a €1,080 fine.

Foreign buyers are on the increase FEARS of negative effects of Brexit on the Costa del Sol real estate market seem to have been unfounded if the latest data on property transactions in the province are anything to go by.

A new report from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing on the first half of this year has revealed 14,364 homes were sold in Malaga, 13 per cent more than the same period in 2015. The fig-

ure was the highest registered in a six-month period since 2008.

International buyers are still the driving force behind recovery of the sector, the report revealed, with foreigners snapping up 5,570 of the homes sold between January and June, the greatest number ever registered in the first six months of the year, beating even 2007 at the pinnacle of the property boom.

British buyers are responsible for about 20 per cent of foreign demand for property in the province, followed by Scandinavians, French, Belgians and Germans, and the majority already live in Spain with just 4 per cent non-resident according to the Ministry.

Sales to non-Spaniards in Malaga province (39 per cent) were almost double the national average, reported to be at 20 per cent.

Have you purchased off-plan property that you never received?

PURCHASING properties off-plan consists of large amounts of money being given in advance for the purchase of homes that are still in the design stage, with the client obligated to make a final payment for the definitive acquisition of the property.

This system has a distinct advantage: you will be paying amounts to the builder or developer for the construction of the house which will later be deducted from the final price. That is, if you then apply for a mortgage, the total amount will be lower.

The major drawback of this way of purchasing property was that, with the crisis, many development companies didn’t complete the construction because they filed for bankruptcy and the consumers and buyers lost the money they paid in advance, which in most cases were their life savings.

Messy web of crime comes quickly undone NATIONAL POLICE in Malaga have arrested three women aged 21 to 25 as the presumed perpetrators of a violent robbery. Additionally, one of the women and her 28year-old boyfriend are also accused of extortion.

The investigation originally began at the beginning of October, after two people came to the police to report seemingly unrelated crimes.

In the first case the victim claimed he borrowed €100 from a couple who had then threatened him with violence for not repaying them on time.

Additionally, they demanded €50 in interest and said they would continue to demand €5 more for each day the debt remained unpaid.

The other victim reported that three women had broken into his home and stole €400 in cash. He speculated that the robbery could have been related to a loan of €200 which he had received a few weeks before and had failed to pay back within the time frame.

After investigating, officers were able to determine the loan sharks in each case were the same two people.

Cancer survivors sail for life

Although they had not met before, the five all have one main thing in common, they won the fight against cancer and are now once again looking forwards.

Marian, Susana, Patricia, Carmen and Yolanda all spoke during their brief stop in Malaga of the battles they had fought against the disease, which has now become Spain’s number one killer surpassing heart disease.

Though none have any previous experience in sailing, all five said when they heard about the challenge they knew they had to take part to raise awareness and prove there can indeed be life after cancer.

After setting off from Valencia a week ago and stopping in Malaga on Tuesday, the next call for the Cannonball yacht was Tenerife, before it embarked on the ocean crossing itself. The women are due to arrive in Martinica, in the Caribbean, on December 1. The boat’s crew consists of 12 people altogether, including Alberto Frances, an experienced traumatologist from Infanta Elena Hospital, while Quironsalud are acting as the official medical partner for the trip.

Bars facing hefty fines over street drinking BARS which fail to adhere to municipal by-laws will soon be paying the price, now that Malaga City Council has begun to crack down on public drinking in a big way. The Local Police have been given permission to punish bar owners with fines of up to €60,000 if their patrons are caught drinking in the street.

Although the municipal by-law against public

drinking is well-established by now, so far the offending bars have only been given a slap on the wrist and ordered to pay the minimum fine of €301. Under the tougher new rules, establishments could be facing fines numbering in the tens of thousands. Each time a bar is caught violating the by-law, the fine will increase by €1,000, until it ultimately tops out at a

whopping €60,000.

Additionally, in an attempt to ensure that bars are complying with regulations and timetables, a greater police presence has been placed on the streets during weekends. However, many bar owners are up in arms about the changes, with some even insinuating that they are being harassed and that the police officers are writing up false reports.

British cannabis grower weeded out in Malaga AN unnamed British man has been arrested after agents representing Malag a ’s N a t u r e P r o t e c t i o n Service stumbled across an extensive marihuana plantation at his home in Colmenar.

The discovery was made during a routine inspection of potentially illegal properties in the Montes de Malaga Natural Park, as officers peered o v e r t h e e x p a t ’s g a r d e n wall.

The green-fingered Brit was evidently none too concerned about the potential of being rumbled since the patrol spotted the illicit vegetation growing in a glass greenhouse located within an interior patio.

Suspecting that there may be a full scale drug factory on the property, the crafty officers retreated before applying for a search warrant, which was duly approved.

They then returned to the house, where they unearthed 101 cannabis plants in various stages of maturity, plus a sophisticated system for indoor cultivation, using which temperature, humidity and light could be accurately controlled.

The homeowner was arrested at the scene, while a kilogram of prepared buds, 40 grams of hashish pollen, €5,870 in cash and a vehicle were seized in addition to the plants and equipment.

Art sales on the fake NATIONAL POLICE investigators have arrested three people in Granada and a fourth in Torremolinos for allegedly defrauding an art lover to the tune of €140,000 via the sale of a false oil painting.

The work was claimed to be an original by Cuban surrealist Wilfredo Lam, with one of the suspects posing as the son of a diplomat in an attempt to lend credibility to the sale.

The buyer was then told that there was a collector in Torremolinos willing to part with €150,000 for the work, thus guaranteeing an immediate profit of €10,000 on his investment.

Police became aware of the scam when the brother of the buyer contacted them to express his concern that the painting was a fake, after he had used his house and garage as collateral to assist his relative in buying it.

Investigators discovered that the swindlers had previously attempted to sell the work to another man in Granada, showing him the painting in the boot of their car.

On that occasion the sale was not finalised after the potential buyer sent photos to the son of the artist, who confirmed it to be a forgery.

Increased shade and less damage MALAGA intends to replace 12,000 trees across the city with the aim of reducing damage to pavements and urban fittings, increasing shade and making it easier to get about.

An extensive study and Tree Plan has examined the more than 34,000 trees dotted about the city to identify the most conflictive species. Around 12,000 were found to be causing problems, however, there are 3,500 which have proved to be the most annoying or damaging and require urgent action, the council reported.

Most of these problems are caused by a bad choice of species and bad location, especially on narrower streets where they affect buildings, pavements and fittings.

“Ficus are a species with too much presence on the streets of Malaga which need to be kept to a specific size to keep costs and

problems down, so I proposed they be removed from some narrow streets where they are breaking pavements and becoming dangerous,” Tree Plan creator Gerard Passola explained. This doesn’t mean they will all be removed though, the plan creator explained, just kept in areas where there is enough space.

Orange trees are another species marked for changes as they have often been placed where there is space for larger trees which would provide more shade. They will however remain on narrow streets and in the historical centre, Passola said.

Oriental planes are the third species which will be gradually reduced as they pose a high risk of falling branches. In fact, one of the first jobs under the plan is to remove 108 of these trees from Calle Martinez de la Rosa and replace them with other, low maintenance species.

paid to air MIGRATION SURVEY: Some 465,000 birds were noted crossing the Strait of Gibraltar.

Birds on the wing tourists driving hire cars, smashing one or more windows to gain access before plundering valuables from the interior and boot.

The crooked couple were caught red-handed as they attempted to ransack a vehicle parked near the Caminito,

with booty from robberies carried out in Fuengirola and Mijas earlier the same day discovered in their car.

A subsequent search on their homes resulted in many other items being recovered, and the villains have now been imprisoned.

ORNITHOLOGISTS from the Migres Foundation, supported by 50 collaborators and volunteers have been recording the daily passage of birds on their spectacular postnuptial migration from Europe to Africa over the last few months.

Between Tuesday July 5 and Saturday October 16, the team noted an impressive 465,000 soaring birds crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, including 131,000 storks and 334,000 raptots belonging to 33 different species.

The most common of these were black kite, with 147,000 individuals counted, white

stork (126,000), honey buzzard (97,000), booted eagle (43,000) and short-toed snake eagle (29,000), with smaller numbers of endangered species such as the black stork (4,900) and Egyptian vulture (4,400).

Also observed were large contingents of herons, spoonbills, and bee-eaters, plus tens of thousands of swifts, swallows, martins, finches and sparrows, while 37 individuals of the critically-endangered bald ibis were also spotted making the crossing.

The censuses were non-exhaustive, with thousands more birds expected to have made the exhausting 14-kilometre hop over to

Morroco, after which they continued their long journey to sub-Saharan Africa, where they will spend the winter.

These counts are extremely important in monitoring the effects of climate change, habitat destruction and other human-related factors on the ever-dwindling populations of migratory birds, with important stop-off points such as DoĂąana National Park subject to increasing pressures.

The Migres Foundation wishes to extend their thanks to all those who participated in the surveys, which took place at the Algarrobo, Cazalla, and Estrecho watch-points.

It’s a fine time to talk about swine CARTAJIMA Council has held a public meeting to discuss the problem of the proliferation of wild boars and feral pigs in the area surrounding the town. The talk was spearheaded by Juan Jesús Tenorio, the owner of Wolf Security, a company dedicated to rural surveillance and the administration and management of farms.

Tenorio explained the boars and pigs are causing a wide range of damage. On one hand, the huge presence of these rambunctious beasts is causing other animals, such as rabbits and partridges, to migrate to other areas. Additionally, the boars are known for leaving a trail of destruction on private farms, where they knock down fences, flatten gardens, damage irrigation canals, and devour food intended for livestock.

There also exists a risk they could transmit diseases like tuberculosis and trichinosis to other animals.

Tenorio expressed his opinion that some sort of intervention has become necessary, and indicated that his business would offer a free service to capture the animals. Farmers wishing to comply with this plan must first apply for the appropriate permits. The Junta de Andalucia regional government recently launched an emergency hunting plan in the hopes of controlling the population of wild boars and feral pigs.

In the past, captured boars and pigs would have been incinerated, but there has recently been a modification of the law. This means Wolf Security may be able to sell and distribute the meat this time around.

DEPUTY MAYOR: Investors have lots of money.

The tragedy occurred at around 5.15pm at a block of flats on Calle Carpio, as the victim prepared to lower some debris from a terrace, and is the 10th case in which a person has died in an industrial accident in Malaga Province this year.

A pulley had been installed on the balcony to raise construction materials and lower waste to the street below, with some railings removed in order to support the cable.

Local reports suggest the anchorage of the pulley, a large plastic tube running from the roof to the floor of the terrace, gave way and dragged the victim over the edge as it plummeted to the pavement. He was killed by the impact.

United against violence

Council members and municipal employees held a minute’s silence under the banner in honour of the more than

“Mijas Council condemns these murders and places the fight against gender violence as a main priority, carrying out preventive and educational measures, supporting women completely and raising awareness,” said Equality councillor Mari Carmen Carmona.

All the different local political groups spoke out against violence and

agreed everything possible must be done to put an end to women’s deaths.

“We’re doing everything within our possibilities, working on education, raising awareness, protecting women and boosting education in real equality amongst our young and we will work with the hope that next year there will be zero victims and we will not have to hold any minutes of silence,” Carmona said.

Staff found this suspicious and called the Local Police and a patrol arrived minutes later.

When officers asked for the vehicle’s papers, the arrestees claimed they only had photocopies as the originals were in Italy. Yet upon searching the car, the policemen found original paperwork in the glove compartment and discovered it had been reported stolen in its country of origin.

The three were taken to the police station, where a fourth person who turned up claiming to be the owner of the car was also arrested.

Parking space sales picking up MALAGA City’s municipal car park company, Smassa, may have finally found a way to increase sales and get rid of its stock of empty spaces which it has been trying to sell off for years.

While the sight of hundreds of hopeful locals queuing up to try and get their names on waiting lists to buy a space are a thing of the past and look to remain that way for the foreseeable future, there has at least been an increase in interest since a new rent-to-buy option was introduced, Smassa has reported.

Sales plummeted when the recession struck some years ago and attempts were made on the company’s part to try and encourage buyers with initiatives ranging from taxfree purchase prices to free car repairs or cheques for €800 for those who introduced a new buyer.

Interest free loans were also offered unsuccessfully and the company was then forced to offer spaces for rent instead of for sale in order to obtain some income from them.

Now, however, Smassa has started to offer those renting spaces at the various municipal car parks across the city the opportunity to pay a similar amount per month, interest free, and eventually obtain ownership of the space in a period of no more than 30 years.

Discounts on the prices of spaces (€20,000 on average, depending on location) have also been introduced and for the first time buyers do not have to be residents of the area.

“But then, that result hopefully having been achieved, they wrongly assume it’s the end of the story, that the horse ‘lives happily ever after,’ and they lose interest.

Knowing limits

By Linda Hall TEULADA-MORAIRA has been awarded a Green Igloo for its commitment to recycling.

The non-profit glass recycling concern Ecovidrio is giving out these awards to municipalities that increased the amount of glass they returned last July and August.

In this time Teulada-Moraira recycled 335,650 kilos of glass, 12.4 per cent more than during the 2015 high summer season.

The hospitality trade generates 50 per cent of the glass that is collected for recycling in the area, most of it in the summer despite year-round trade.

Both parts of the town are committed to recycling more than just glass and to make this simpler for the local population, recycling bins are now being replaced in both localities.

Tesla to set up in Barcelona

DUE to the fact it proved so easy to forge a £1 coin (make a mould using an existing coin, fill it with lead and paint it gold coloured) it is conservatively estimated that more than 3 per cent of all pound coins in circulation are fakes.

This is just another expenditure that companies and consumers will have to carry.

Egyptian economics IN a move aimed at trying to obtain a $12 billion (€10.8 billion) loan from the International Monetary Fund, the Egyptian government has announced a range of economic measures which whilst possibly bringing short term hardship to consumers should help to replace lost tourist revenue in the medium term.

Measures include the floatation of the Egyptian pound which could see an effective devaluation of up to 50 per cent against the dollar and an increase in interest rates of 3 per cent to 14.75 per cent.

Where there’s blame there’s a claim

ONE of Spain’s poorest regions Extremadura was proud of the fact that a company called Zetta Smartphone has set up in the province and was producing what appeared to be a potential world beating product which had the potential to rival Apple in the long term.

A great deal of excitement surrounded the fact that these technically advanced mobiles with large screens and most of the facilities expected in an iPhone were being manufactured in Spain and offered for sale at prices up to three times less than an Apple product.

Taking advantage of perceived images, the company created its own special logo which was an acorn (representing the oak forests found in the province) with a bite taken out of it in homage to Apple.

During October however, matters began to unravel for the company as it appears that rather than being a newly created Spanish product, what the owners were doing was purchasing two handsets made in China by local manufacturers Xiaomi and then

According to Sir Philip, he does have a plan to help the pension fund directly which would see a better result for pensioners and he claims that the chairman of the trustees of

the pension fund agrees in principle that his scheme would be advantageous and on the afternoon that he received the demand he offered £250 million (€280 million) to the fund but

it is believed that the Pension Regulator is looking for him to increase the offer to £350 million (€392 million).

By John Smith AS if it wasn’t bad enough for Sir Philip Green to be threatened with the removal of his knighthood over the BHS fiasco but he has now been advised that enforcement action with regards to the pension scheme is also being taken by the Pension Regulator.

In a fairly unusual action which demands large contributions from both Sir Philip and Dominic Chappell who purchased BHS for a pound supposedly in order to protect the pensions of the 20,000 staff who were members of the BHS pension scheme.

Sir Philip had indicated some time ago that he would be looking at options to top up the scheme which appears to have had a shortfall of some £570 million (€627 million) by the time that the company finally went into liquidation but with a lack of concrete proposals, the Regulator has clearly run out of patience.

This could however be a

The Chinese company does not export its products to Europe at the moment, concen-

trating on the Chinese market and exporting only to Singapore and Taiwan with an interest in newly emerging markets within Brazil and India.

As the Xiaomi phones were not exported to Europe and were therefore unlikely to be recognised, Zetta simply imported stock from a third par-

ty and rebranded them as if they were their own.

When the ‘Zetta phones’ were put on sale on the company’s web site and through

This action will not however result in any immediate assistance for the pensioners and former employees of BHS as those being challenged will have the absolute right to respond and then if they refuse to comply with the enforcement action, the matter will be sent for independent arbitration, but any decision has to be agreed by all parties.

In other words, this gives the impression of being a formality which may not resolve the situation in the short-term but may be a sensible ploy which prompted Sir Philip in particular to finally release his proposal and if considered acceptable could see some relatively speedy activity rather than watch the matter drag on for years.

shops, they simply added about €100 to the price that they had paid for their stock and renamed the phones Conquistador 4.7 and Conquistador 5.5 Plus.

Since this information has been revealed in specialist press as well as some Spanish language newspapers, the company website and Facebook page have ceased to carry updated news and the website says that it is in the process of being upgraded.

Reports suggest that only a few thousand of these mobile handsets have been sold in Spain compared to the millions sold by Xiaomi but it does leave those consumers who have purchased phones from Zetta unsure as to whether they will have any rights in the event that their phone goes wrong or whether they can return the phone for a complete refund.

For so many years, Chinese companies were accused of ‘pirating’ western product and manufacturing it locally so it is ironic that Zetta co-founded

by Chinese national Cu Bojan should be reversing the traditional roles.

China beginning to take over Hollywood

SYLVESTER STALLONE: With his daughters at the 2016 Golden Globes.

By John Smith TURNING his back, possibly temporarily, on Spain, China’s richest man Wang Jianlin is over in Hollywood where he has just spent $1 billion (€900 million) on purchasing Dick Clark Productions set up by the former TV presenter.

Owning as he does already, America’s second largest cinema chain AMC and Legendary Entertainment a film company which has co-produced a whole range of hit movies with Warner Bros including a number of Batman and Superman hits as well as the incredibly successful Hangover, Jurassic World and 300 he is certainly an important figure already in the industry.

If you are producing films and then placing in your cinemas, it makes sense to purchase the company that produces the Golden Globe Awards presented annually by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for film and TV with the show being part of the Dick Clark collection.

The newly purchased company produces a whole raft of television shows and award ceremonies so is a natural ex-

There appears to be some fear that if he does manage to become a really major player in the film world that he will somehow indulge in trying to influence audiences to appreciate China and its rulers.”

tension to the company Mr Wang owns, Dalian Wanda which has until recently been predominantly involved in property development and ownership although it has diversified and has even taken over Sunseeker yachts as well as Atletico Madrid.

It is no secret that the billionaire, said to be worth in excess of $32 billion (€29 billion), has been anxious to not only diversify but to spread his investments around the world and he has certainly been flirting with various major movie companies looking to possibly take over or partner with one of them.

Despite his international expansion, he has also made it clear that he wants to en-

sure that Chinese culture is more readily promoted and accepted in the West and many politicians and pundits in America see him as a potential threat to the traditional Hollywood movie empires and would certainly look to resist any major takeover.

Mr Wang has produced a hugely successful business despite the fact that China can still be quite draconian in the way in which it invades individual privacy and there appears to be some fear that if he does manage to become a really major player in the film world that he will somehow indulge in trying to influence audiences to appreciate China and its rulers.

This is something he denies, saying that he is motivated by financial reasons rather than political ones and that in order to obtain the best financial results from the Chinese market then films have to be made which are aimed at that market.

To this end, he has invested in the Hong Kong film industry and one of his companies is producing The Great Wall starring Matt Damon and well-known Chinese actors which has been financed from Hollywood but filmed and produced in China.

Yesteryear comedies still make us laugh LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT AS someone who earns most of his living after dark, daytime television is often a major contributor to my psyche of amusement and entertainment. In a stroke of, probably financially instigated genius, the BBC has recently decided to present reruns of some classic comedies of yesteryear and what a treat they are.

Open All Hours, with the wonderful Ronnie Barker, Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em starring the amazing talents of Michael Crawford, Only Fools and Horses with David Jason, plus the antics of the zany cast of Hi De Hi, are just a few of a whole host of sitcoms gracing the box this year.

Of course, ITV have been doing it for some time with programmes like Rising Damp. Another great series of days gone by, containing marvellous dialogue, full of witty innuendoes, completely innocuous non-PC statements, pathos and hys-

CLASSIC COMEDIES: Are a joy to watch. terical situations, these classics of comedy are a pure joy to watch.

And do you know the most grati-

fying aspect of them all? Not a swear word or statement of filth in sight. To me acceptable comedy on

TV died at the end of the 80’s. Since then it has sunk into a desperate morass of sleaze and slimy stagna-

tion, its success being measured by just how low its writers and performers can take it.

And do you know why? These days there are no proper comedy writers around. The morons who churn out the modern day rubbish, whose success is generally judged by how often you can say the word **** in any given minute, should hang their heads in humiliated shame.

Talk about taking money under false pretences. They should all be weeded out and sent back to the gutter where they unquestionably belong. Alternative comedy? I’m sorry, in my book, today’s alternative comedies are the unforgettable, utterly unmissable ghosts of comedy past. Long may they shine as examples of the presentations that should really be making us forget our worries and delivering us a real good laugh.

Come back the likes of Galton and Simpson, Roy Clark and Ray Allen, all is forgiven!

OPINION & COMMENT

Politicians who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones Nora Johnson

Breaking Views Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist.

To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

FOLLOWING the recent fiery debate in the Commons in which Sir Philip Green was lambasted as an ‘asset stripper’ and compared to Robert Maxwell, MPs voted to strip him of his knighthood. (I’d go further and suggest he deserves to be stripped of his knighthood, his retail reputation AND a couple of his superyachts as well).

Labour MP, Iain Wright, claimed Green “took the rings from BHS’s fingers, beat it black and blue, starved it of food and water, put it on life support and then wanted credit for keeping it alive.”

David Winnock, another Labour MP, labelled Green a “billionaire spiv.” Yet neither Winnock nor Wright, both MPs when Green was knighted by Tony Blair (enough said), objected then but, like many others, delight in his downfall now.

HYPOCRITICAL MPS: Are hardly squeaky clean themselves, often failing to uphold the reputation of their profession.

Leaving aside the corrupt Honours system which needs reforming or scrapping (Cameron’s resignation list, anyone?), this hypocritical lot are hardly squeaky clean themselves.

Take former MPs Jonathan Aitken, Jeffrey Archer and Chris Huhne (all jailed: Aitken and Archer, who is still entitled to wear ermine, for perjury; Huhne for perverting the course of justice) and, more recently, MP Keith Vaz. One of the major reasons why MPs are so

often bad-mouthed is their failure to uphold the reputation of their ‘profession.’ Vaz’s alleged behaviour with male prostitutes is a classic example, but there are countless others.

All other professions hold sacred their reputation, and bringing that into disrepute is considered a cardinal sin. A former Lord Chief Justice famously stated that “a profession’s most valuable asset is its collective reputation, and the confidence which that inspires,” and this principle is upheld by lawyers, doctors, etc. But not, it seems, by politicians. They’re good at telling others how to behave, but not themselves (“do as I say but not as I do”) If this hypocritical bunch just cleaned up their act and did their jobs properly, bullies like Green (who called a journalist a word ending in ‘-unt’ that isn’t ‘aunt!’) would never be given a gong in the first place and Parliament wouldn’t have the reputation it has.

OPINION & COMMENT

YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE - YOUR OPINION

Living in cloud cuckoo land DEAR Sir, with regard to your article (Why doesn’t England just leave the UK?), the simple answer to that question is that without England there would be no United Kingdom. Without England the rest of the United Kingdom member countries would struggle to cope financially particularly with the vast amount of money that the EU would still expect if, as you say, the UK would still remain, so nothing would change for Scotland, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar.

You’re living in cloud cuckoo land if you think the EU would accept such a thing as you propose. When Scotland, and not forgetting all the Scottish people living outside of Scotland, get a second vote as Nicola Sturgeon is gunning for, then you’ll see just how much the ordinary Scottish person appreciates being a member of the United Kingdom, in or out of the dreaded EU. Len

Superiority complex THE answer to this is fairly straightforward. England thinks it owns the UK. Asking England to leave to them will seem like the renter kicking out the landlord.

This is what the Scots and Irish nationalists have been arguing about for decades - the unjust dictatorship by the English elite over the rest of the island.

You can’t expect England to voluntarily give up its will to dominate.

It would rather take Scotland and Ulster kicking and screaming than leave them to their own affairs.

Paul

Prospect of poverty MY husband and I live in Spain and are alarmed about the possibility of not receiving any annual increases in our pension once Brexit is completed.

We are upset about this as it will condemn us all living outside the UK to a life of poverty in the future as prices rise over the years. The value of our pensions will drop and we will struggle to live.

We do not ask or indeed receive any form of benefits from the UK but if we also have to pay for our healthcare as well as reduced pensions, then surely this is infringing on our human rights.

Anyone living in the UK in this situ-

winter fuel allowance.

These are entitlements...not benefits!

I’ve started a petition on change.org regarding these issues. I am also in touch with and support Nigel Nelson.

I also sent a letter to Downing Street asking for an explanation on all these issues. So far after over one month, no reply! A reminder has been sent.

Dave

Brexit backwater

Cheeky immigrants I REMEMBER David Cameron (the chap who brought Britain to its knees then sailed off to Panama) said that the UK should only take in refugees from the camps out in Turkey and Lebanon, instead of those on the march across Europe.

It was a nice PR-friendly, never to see the light of day, gesture but I respectfully disagree. Having seen the tremendous hard work these souls have put into crisscrossing an inhospitable continent, getting from Morocco to Manchester, from Syria to Sweden, I say let’s welcome them! These young men have proven themselves worthy of a passport and a job. They have the hunger for

ation would get help from the government to enable them to live, but we will have no such recall.

We ask that the government think again about all the pensioners living abroad and leave things as they are. It is our generation who worked all the years, paying into the National Health Service so that we could have a pension for our old age.

Ann & Colin

Vast majority?

LEAPY, I suspect you already know the vast majority of Scots passionately want to remain in the UK. I still find it astonishing 45 per cent of my fellow Scots behave like demented turkeys and vote for Christmas. Ever since I

success most of our own youth unfortunately lack and might inspire a few to get up off the sofa.

Some of the methods they’ve used are ingenious. The other day an Iranian commandeered a bloomin’ inflatable and almost paddled his way across the Channel.

And he was a Christian software engineer!

Our society could do with a bit of a shake-up so I suggest we treat those who made it this far with a little more respect. If we’re destined to become a cold, wet Caliphate anyway we might as well have a decent labour force to pump money into our sinking pensions.

Raymond

was a kid I have detested the attitude of some Scots to hate the English.

The Scots and English are so alike that our blood runs through common veins. Together with Northern Ireland and Wales we form a formidable union that has stayed the test of time and seen us through two World Wars.

The incumbent ‘government’ in Holyrood is so incompetent and narrow-minded it simply can’t run a small country of five million people. The astonishing fact is it retains its large share of the vote despite its utter incompetence. The SNP mantra of anti-English, anti-Tory and ‘promise them the world’ still draws the votes from the deluded section of the Scottish electorate.

It saddens me greatly so many of my fellow Scots can be so easily duped

- I thought my fellow citizens were well educated... how wrong I was!

Alexander

Entitlements not benefits I WOULD like an answer as to how the UK Government thinks it has the right to freeze expats pensions and also to withdraw our winter fuel allowance.

I was born and worked all my life in the UK. I am a fully paid-up National Contributor since the age of 15. I decided to spend my retirement years outside of the UK. That was my choice. As I have paid all my dues to the UK Government, I am entitled to all pension increases including the

THE Scottish independence campaign was as much a referendum on staying in the EU as it was in the UK. The unionists won by a narrow margin because they convinced many wavering minds to ‘vote with their heads not their hearts.’ That vote was annulled when Brexit beckoned, which is why calls for a second referendum are entirely justified.

The wheels are set in motion. The demographic that voted against independence is dying off fast. Cultural changes, the need for localised solutions, and the democratic deficit of Tory rule make Scottish membership of the union untenable, especially if the country is dragged into some Little England anti-everyone post-Brexit backwater that is a stain on the pants of global society.

Barry

Thank you DEAR Euro Weekly, Thank you for your great coverage regarding our various pensions organisations, and the work we’re doing to try and unfreeze them. I’ll report back once we return from our London visit.

Very interesting court decision last week with respect to triggering Article 50. The UK government are appealing to the Supreme Court. Whatever side loses that challenge can then go to... the European Court of Justice! How ironic is that...

Kind regards Nigel from British Pensions

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

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Spirituality seeps right through the week.

As you are feeling particularly sensuous, invite someone special to dinner or on a trip. Visit garden centres and plan ahead.

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

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

SCORPIO

SALT AND PEPPER 1. According to the Book of Genesis, which patriarch’s wife was turned into a pillar of salt after disobeying orders and looking back at the destruction of the city of Sodom?

2. Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Chad Smith and Josh Klinghoffer are the current members of which American funk rock band?

3. In Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory what is the name of the greedy, manipulative, spoiled child, demanding every single thing she wants (and more) who is the second person to find a Golden Ticket?

4. Name either of the two pop artists who designed the cover of the Beatles’ iconic 1967 album Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band?

5. Salt Lake City is the capital and the most populous municipality of which US state?

6. Which actress played the part of undercover officer Sergeant Pepper Anderson in the 1970s American television drama Police Woman?

7. Which celebrated nationalist and spiritual leader famously led Indians in challenging the British-imposed salt tax with the 400 kilometre (250 mile) Dandi Salt March in 1930?

8. Which carbonated soft drink marketed as having a unique flavour was created in the 1880s by Charles Alderton in Waco, Texas and first served around 1885?

9. Which strongly corrosive acid was historically called acidum salis, muriatic acid and spirits of salt?

10. With what type of music would you principally associate the American alto saxophonist and clarinettist Art Pepper?

Not a lot of people know that… there is a very common misconception that Roman soldiers were paid in salt (hence the word ‘salary’), but in fact they were paid in normal money… however, during the Middle Ages pepper was so valuable that it was worth more than gold by weight, and individual peppercorns were widely accepted as legal currency.

YOUR STARS SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Look ahead to see how exactly you can make this winter extra special. The future, excitingly, holds deep pleasures and delights. All you need to do is decide what they could be.

TIME

(October 24 - November 22)

Thoughts come to you, perhaps in dreams, that are creative and energy boosting. Someone who recently moved out of your sphere is sadly missed but is in some ways still a part of you. A person at work who has been causing you concern needs investigation.

Answers 1. LOT, 2. RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, 3. VERUCA SALT (in some early editions she was known as Veruca Cruz), 4. PETER BLAKE and JANN HAWORTH, 5. UTAH, 6. ANGIE DICKINSON, 7. Mohandas Karamchand GANDHI, 8. DR PEPPER, 9. HYDROCHLORIC ACID, 10. JAZZ

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

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

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Being very much in demand for your talents this week means less time to spend socially, so it’s important to make time for loved ones at the weekend.

Someone seeking your advice may simply be seeking your approval for an action they are going to take anyway.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) There may be some opposition to your ideas as Pluto turns this week.

Perhaps your natural charm just doesn’t seem to be working. As you have helped others in the past, make it clear that you expect a bit of cooperation.

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

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

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

How many English words of four letters or more can you make from the nine letters in our Nonagram puzzle? Each letter may be used only once (unless the letter appears twice).

Each word MUST CONTAIN THE CENTRE LETTER (in this case R) and there must be AT LEAST ONE NINE LETTER WORD. Plurals, vulgarities or proper nouns are not allowed.

By N D Gomes In 1996, in the UK, 16year-old Sam’s brother walked into school one day and shot dead 14 of his peers before shooting himself.

In the aftermath his mum flits between denial and distress, his dad shuts himself away in the garage, they are all ostracised by the local community and Sam is asked not to return to the school.

Sam is desperate to hold on to the memories he had of his brother, but the media storm surrounding their family threatens to destroy everything.

This is a thought provoking look at the issues faced by families struggling with grief and guilt in the aftermath of a destructive personal tragedy. books@euroweeklynews.com

EL PRADO: Home to some of the finest arts in Europe.

Delacroix, “‘Las Meninas’ by Velázquez and ‘Le dejeuner sur l’herbe’ (Luncheon on the Grass) by Manet. The Picasso Museum in Malaga is also well worth the visit.

5) Museo de Bellas Artes, Sevilla Originally founded in 1839 in an old convent, the architectural design of this building is a prime example of the Andalucian mannerist style of the 17th century. The works range from medieval to modern. Featured artists include Francisco de Zurbaran, Juan de Valdes Leal, and Bartolome Esteban Murillo.

6) Museo Carmen Thyssen, Malaga Probably the most popular museum in Malaga, a city which is quickly becoming a point of reference for art lovers due to its diverse cultural landscape, the Carmen Thyssen has a particular focus on 19th century Spanish art. It has a permanent collection of 230 paintings which belong to an avid art collector, the Spanish Baroness Carmen Thyssen, after whom the museum is named.

7) MUSAC, León The MUSAC, or Castile-León Museum of Contemporary Art, is somewhat of an oddity in Spain, in that it aims to be a ‘museum of the present’ and thus only features artworks made since 1992.

Those wanting to know what’s happen-

ing in the contemporary art world may want to give it a whirl.

8) Dalí Theatre and Museum, Figueres A truly one-of-a-kind experience, this museum is located in Figueres, 143 kilometres from Barcelona. Figueres is notable for being the home town of the eccentric Catalan painter Salvador Dalí.

The museum was actually designed by the artist himself, and includes sculptures, 3D collages, and a custom-made furniture set which looks like Mae West’s face when viewed from a certain angle. Dalí is buried there in a crypt underneath the stage in the theatre.

9) Thyssen, Madrid The third in the so-called Holy Trinity of Madrid museums, this one is also named after the art-loving Baroness Thyssen and also includes some of her personal collection. The museum contains everything from 20th century Pop Art to lush paintings by Impressionists and Post-impressionists.

10) Museo de Bellas Artes, Valencia One of several Bellas Artes museums in the country, this one has an emphasis on the works of Valencian painters. There is also a collection of 11,000 drawings done by famous 16th-20th century painters, as well as curious artifacts dating back to the Roman times.

Some of the greatest artists of all time were Spanish, from Dalí to Picasso, from Goya to Velázquez. It should come as no surprise then that Spain also happens to be home to some of the most renowned museums in the world. Even if you don’t know the first thing about art, a trip to a museum can be a wonderful antidote to the hustle and bustle of daily life... not that Spain’s exactly known for that. Here are our top 10 Spanish museums: 1) El Prado, Madrid This massive building is home to some of the finest art in Europe, including 8,600 paintings covering the period from the 12th to the 19th century. It is particularly noted for its collection of Old Masters, which includes the work of classical painters like Velázquez, Goya, and El Greco, as well as foreign masters like Raphael, Van Dyck, and Rembrandt.

2) The Guggenheim, Bilbao This museum is as famous for its outer appearance as it is for its contents. Designed by the American architect Frank Gehry, it is one of a small handful of Guggenheims scattered around the world. The inside of the building has huge ceilings, which allows it to house very large works of art. The museum features modern art by such artists as Jeff Koons and Andy Warhol.

3) The Reina Sofia, Madrid Those interested in contemporary art, particularly cubism and surrealism, would be well-advised to check out this museum. It includes the work of such modern Spanish painters as Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, and Joan Miró. Its most famous painting is Picasso’s Guernica, an imposing and powerful work which depicts the bombing of a Basque village during the Spanish Civil War. 4) Picasso Museum, Barcelona The Picasso Museum in Barcelona contains 3,500 examples of Picasso’s early work. It is noted for Picasso’s intepretation of three works by other masters: ‘Algerian Women at Home,’ by

Drama in the jungle

All that Jazz for one night

Plastic ban called for

SPEAKING to GBC, Jon Bonfiglio a Gibraltarian who is involved with Ninth Wave Global, an environmental consultancy agency explained he was one of four explorers who had to cope in the Mexican jungle when their boats capsized and they lost food, clothes and communications equipment. Happily after five days, a team of local rescuers found the group.

AS part of the promotion of jazz in Gibraltar, the Ministry of Culture is organising a special concert featuring local musicians under the title One Night Only at 8pm on November 24 with free admission at the Central Hall. Those due to perform include The Soulmates, Paul Riley New Orleans Jazz Band, Surianne and Kind Of Blue.

WITH more and more countries trying to restrict the use of plastic bags and requiring shops to make a charge for them, Gibraltar has not yet joined in, possibly because of the number of tourists who purchase goods to export, but a ban has been called for by local company the Nautilus Project and a number of volunteer groups have come out in support of the proposal.

IT is not often that one can b o a st a b o u t a r e a l bargain food offer in Gibraltar, but La Sala on board the Sunborn is doing exactly that as they introduce a very special deal for diners on Mondays and Tuesdays with immediate effect.

For the price of £25 per person, a couple can enjoy a c l a ss ic Chateaubriand or Fillet Steak for two and a bottle of the well-respected Spanish Crianza wine Izadi wh i c h n o r m a lly sells for £19.95.

This is bound to be a popular offer so make s ure t h a t y o u v is it www.lasalagibraltar.com or call +350 20016 870 to make your reservation.

One significant absentee

By John Smith WHEN the new ministers in the Spanish Government were formally sworn in before King Felipe VI, there was one significant absentee, José Manuel García-Margallo who has been replaced as Minister for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation by Alfonso Dastis Quecedo a career diplomat who was born in Jerez de la Frontera and is believed to be somewhat less bombastic in his political stance.

The new cabinet is very much like the old cabinet, but the removal of Margallo will be seen as something of a triumph by British and Gibraltar governments and perhaps by some of the Spanish opposition parties who had been very quick to criticise his autocratic ways, although they were generally critical of the retention of so many of the ‘old guard.’

There is no question that if the Brexit negotiations between Britain and Spain are to actually be to the benefit of both countries then a squabble over 30,000 people in a

Natural cocoa can help to keep our hearts healthy

By Gemma Elvins-Quinn IT’S the news chocolate lovers w ill b e w aiting to he a r, c ould chocolate help protect the heart?

Cocoa in its natural form, unfortunately not milk, white or in a box of treats, can help to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

It is made up of hundreds of k n o w n co mp ounds a nd ma ny h a v e an tio x id a nt prope rtie s .

These protect the body from destroying cells and causing premature ageing.

It is also high in polyphenols, which, as well as being an antioxidant, also have anti-inflammatory properties that can maintain the elasticity of blood vessels and promote circulation, as well as reducing the so-called bad cholestero l; a ll fac tors in ke e ping a healthy heart.

SWEET TREAT: Natural cocoa is made up of compounds, many of which contain antioxidant properties that protect the body.

Studies also suggest that cocoa has antidepressant benefits and can boost the body’s endorphins

and serotonin, known to give natural highs and the feeling of happiness.

So next time you fancy something sweet, go for natural cocoa for a healthier treat.

Applying the newest dental technology What advantages are gained by applying new technologies to odontology treatments?

The application of technological breakthroughs in the day-to-day running of dental clinics helps them to make better diagnosis, provide better treatment and quality of life for patients and detect illnesses ahead of time to be able prevent them.

What treatment is a good example of technological breakthrough in odontology that can be seen today?

Without a doubt dental implants are a fantastic example. To be able to install a dental implant, up-to-date technology is needed every step of the way. This means the latest x-ray machines, computer systems and surgical equipment continue to make the process easier, more reliable and even more precise every year.

What is a 3D diagnosis? How is the necessary information to be able to carry out this procedure obtained?

A 3D diagnosis is a technique that provides precise information about patients’ anatomies that helps with their diagnosis and treatment. The patient’s internal anatomy is shown on a scanner before the information is computer-analysed by a breakthrough programme that takes into account bone quality and quantity to work out the best position to install dental implants. Apart from its application in implantology, the 3D diagnosis can

also be used in dental surgery or planning.

What role do dental laboratories play in all this?

All the information collected by the 3D diagnosis is sent to the lab where a high precision surgical guide is made to show the exact position where the implant is to be fitted on the dentures the patient will wear throughout their treatment.

What breakthroughs can be seen in dental laboratories?

On one hand you can observe the digital printing technique used to manufacture high precision restorations using an intraoral scanner. The biggest advantages for the patient are avoiding the discomfort associated with having a traditional fitting and reliability of results.

CAD-CAM (computer-aided design-CAD and computer-aided manufacturing-CAM) technologies help to offer patients maximum innovation in dentures and are available through the following process: • 1. Scanning the tooth, either in the model or directly in the mouth through digital printing techniques.

• 2. Design of cosmetic dentures using 3D software.

• 3. Last but not least, the carving and veneering of the new dentures.

Beat the winter blues

Prostate cancer: what to look for

ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS: Help ward off depression.

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte.

- HOW often is prostate cancer present in middleaged men?

Prostate cancer is extremely common, although its exact cause is unknown.

Around 29,000 men in Spain suffer from the disease each year, making it the most common form of male cancer, affecting up to 50 per cent of males over 70.

- When to get checked?

All men over 50 should get checked even if they present no symptoms. If any symptoms present themselves or if you have any queries before this age don’t hesitate to see a specialist.

- What are the symptoms of prostate cancer?

Symptoms can take a long time or even years to manifest. In the early stages, when the tumour is confined to the prostate, it may be asymptomatic or accompanied by mild obstructive symptoms such as urinary incontinence, interruption of the urine stream, increased frequency of urination, especially at night, difficulty urinating or a burning sensation during urination.

When tumours are in an advanced stage they can be

accompanied by blood in the urine, infection, back pain and difficulties in sexual relations.

When it comes to advanced tumours, legs may appear swollen , bone pain can present itself (due to the tumour spreading to the bone) and even weakness or loss of strength in the legs can appear (due to compression of the spinal cord or nerve roots). It can also cause kidney failure, loss of appetite and weight loss or anaemia.

- What is the prognosis for the disease?

The evolution of the disease is usually slow, allowing early and timely treatment to control the disease in the majority of cases.

- If diagnosed, what is the treatment?

Treatment depends on how the disease evolves and data, such as the grade and stage of cancer, age and health status of the patient are important to deciding treatment. Currently there are four ways to proceed to reduce and/or remove prostate cancer: surgery, radiation, hormonal therapy and permanent observation.

By Gemma Elvins-Quinn THE clocks have gone back and whilst many look forward to long winter nights cosy by the fire, for many it brings a bout the ons e t of SAD. Often referred to as the winter blues, seasonal affective disorder is a type of de pre s s ion linke d to changes in seasons.

Symptoms include feelings of depression, changes

in appetite, gaining weight, feeling overly tired and irritable with low energy levels.

It’s more c ommon in women and those living in countries with less sunlight.

Although in Spain we enjoy more sun than the UK some pe ople s till s uffe r but the re ’s things tha t c a n help.

Light therapy/phototherapy: Special light boxes ex-

pose users to bright light, tricking and boosting mood chemicals in the brain.

Environment: Sitting in a cold dark office all day can enhance symptoms. Try to improve surroundings by opening curtains and blinds t o l et i n as m uch nat ur al light as possible, bring in a few bright home accessories and spend a f ew m i nut es outside soaking up the sun.

Al t er nat i ve m edi ci ne:

Some believe these can help such as St John’s Wort, often used in the UK to help treat mild depression. Vitamin D supplements can also help if you don’t get enough sun.

Eat r i ght : Avoi d processed and sugary food.

Eat fresh fruit, vegetables and fish for essential nutrients that will boost your body and ward off depression.

Is a fix room for injecting drugs the answer to problem?

THE UK has approved in principle the idea to have a s pe c ia l fa c ility to a llow drug addicts to be able to inje c t the drugs in a s a fe and controlled environment.

Discussions and debates are still underway but Glasgow c ould be the c ity to house the UK’s first such supervised injection facility, w hic h is ofte n na me d the

‘fix room.’ In Glasgow it is believed there are around 500 drug users. This centre w ould give s ome of the m a c c e s s to me dic a l gra de heroin on the NHS and a supervised place to take it in a bid to reduce drug-related deaths and the spread of infection.

However the plans have caused controversy and op-

ponents of the idea say drug taking in any form should never be condoned and more should be done in prevention work and getting people off drugs.

Si m i l ar pl aces al r eady operate in cities across Europe including in Switzerl and, Ger m any, Fr ance, Netherlands, Norway and Spain.

A Surgeon’s Opinion

More than fashion, what do your shoes say about you?

By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com MORE than a fashion statement our shoes tell a story about how you move, how your muscles work and injury risk.

Heels Look at your shoe from behind - is the outside edge worn away? This indicates a high heel impact and probably a rigid high arch foot.

Solution - solid heel support and heel cushioning Big toe Is there a worn patch under the big toe inside your shoe?

Or a bulge at your big toe?

This means you are developing bunions and need to take the pressure off the toes.

Solution - strong heel support and arch support.

Flat feet vs rigid feet Again, look at your shoe from behind, does the shoe sit straight like a new shoe?

Or is it distorted and leaning?

If it leans inwards then your arch is collapsing and your foot is flattening.

If it leans outward then your foot is more rigid and won’t deal well with high impact.

Look at your footprint in

EWN

WORN SHOES: Can tell a story.

the sand how much of your foot can you see?

The more you see, the flatter your foot.

Solution - a strong arch support for flatter feet. Rigid feet need a strong, deep heel cup and probably a cushion at the heel as well.

Toe of your shoe Are the toes of your shoes scuffed and worn? Then your arch isn’t working well and you are using your toes too much to push off.

This slows you down and stops you being able to ‘bounce.’

Solution ‘ arch support Insole Take the insole out of your shoe and look at it - do the worn areas match your pain?

Or hard skin? Or blisters?

Hard skin equals high pressure. Which causes pain and injury.

Solution - take the pressure off with a solid heel cup, strong arch or extra cushions.

Left vs right Do they match? If one shoe or insole is much more worn than the other you are compensating on that foot.

This can cause injury on that side as you overcompensate (even though you might be compensating for an old injury on the other side!)

Solution support both feet equally For more information on supporting your feet and understanding your gait check out our website www.TheBody worksClinic.com, our Facebook page Bodyworks Health Clinic or call us on 952 883 151.

Treat the person NOT the picture A KEY part of any presurgical diagnostic process these days is a picture, MRI, X-ray, Cat scan . . . . the list goes on.

They give us amazing insight into the structures inside us. Without having to undergo surgery, we literally know what we will find.

BUT they do not tell the entire story.

Why a bed is important One of my top tips for spotting a good surgeon?

Their consultation room includes, and they actually make use of, an examination bed. And, they will probably make you remove some clothes during the consultation.

Why is this important?

Because it means they are examining YOU, the person they are treating.

By looking at how you move, taking the time to talk, ask and answer questions you get a much more accurate diagnosis.

Knee, hip or back?

They’re all connected, and if one is malfunctioning they can affect the entire kinetic chain. Which means checking all of them.

I can give you the best new knee in the world, but it won’t make much difference if the real problem is your hip!

And a scan of your knee won’t give me that information.

Options By talking to you and reviewing your real life, in person situation, we can also choose the most appropriate option and schedule for your operation.

Perhaps we need to manage pain right now so that you can finish a busy summer season. Or you’re a younger patient for whom a less invasive method and quicker rehabilitation will be more successful.

A detailed consultation can also reveal conditions that are hard to diagnose via scans alone, hip dysplasia being a common example.

Treat the patient, NOT the picture You are so much more than a picture, while it gives us the final detail, we get more information from you.

Trying to be more mindful MINDFULNESS is a word starting to spring up all over. A form of meditation which originated from Buddhist thinking, it is about being more aware and in control of your surroundings and in the present moment. It allows people to be more in control and more appreciative of the little things.

But mindfulness is more than just a meditative state and is being used in a wider range of situations.

More and more schools are looking at the benefits of such programmes and in 2012 a US congressman received a government grant to teach it in schools believing it led to a calmer classroom with stu-

dents more receptive and enhancing performance and learning. Other schools are adopting it instead of issuing detentions to youngsters.

Some business corporations have also reported introducing mindfulness into their offices offering coaching and meditation breaks to staff believing it leads to an overall improvement in productivity and worker satisfaction.

Medical professionals are also increasingly encouraging patients to take meditation over medication to help treat symptoms of anxiety and depression.

So how can you practice mindfulness?

You may find a local practitioner offering courses, but everyone can take on some of the main principles. It is about emptying your mind and to start with the mind constantly wanders, but with practice it becomes easier to sustain.

Start by beginning to train your mind to be more mindful. Be aware of your feelings and focus on your breathing. Practice meditation as it will train your mind to be more mindful. Your can also practice being more mindful during your daily routines, when you wash up or take a shower; think about how the water feels, how the soapy bubbles smell etc.

Why do we need to watch our weight?

WHAT do hypertension, high cholesterol, type-2 diabetes, heart disease, strokes, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, body pain, depression, sleep apnoea and cancer have in common? They are all associated with obesity - but you knew that, didn’t you?

In 2015, Public Health UK estimated that the cost of obesity exceeds £27bn (€30bn) annually. In the USA, reduced productivity costs employers over $500 (€450) per obese worker per annum!!

“Hey, but here in Spain we eat the Mediterranean diet so we are OK, aren’t we?” I hear you say!

Wrong!!!

Obesity rates in Spain are rising and currently stand at 22.9 per cent, with a further 39.4 per cent of Spaniards considered overweight.

This is significantly higher than 2003 estimates indicating that your Mediterranean lifestyle is not exempt from the obesity pandemic.

The ‘easy fix’ option of bariatric surgery often involves irreversible procedures which rearrange your digestive tract or remove part of your stomach. Many operations cannot be reversed and complications can be

devastating!!

CWP’s unique ‘buddy’ #metodocambridge programme ensures our clients safe, predictable weight loss, in the timeframe they choose, without the need for surgery. Most clients want to lose 5-10kg, but many

lose in excess of 30kg and some over 75kg in one year!

Independent studies using CWP products have shown pre-diabetes can be reversed, early type-2 diabetes improved, and arthritic pain lessened. No other weight loss product has shown this!

Coming out of the tunnel you should see another sign reminding you to turn them off.

Headlights may also be used more at this time of year when the sun is lower and visibility can be problematic. As a result, the DGT can recommend headlights being on during the day to increase visibility.

Aside from these, there is no mandatory requirement to have your headlights on during the day and it is not required, as many people think, to have headlights on when you are going through road works.

However, for vehicles travelling on reversible, or bi-directional lanes, which can alter the flow of traffic at different times of the day, increased illumination can be of benefit as well as when travelling along an additional lane created with a series of cones to avoid an obstruction or to improve traffic flow in one direction.

I’m not your mate!

LEGALLY SPEAKING

IT is quite a common sight to see cars travelling during the day with lights on, but these are often different to what most people know as ‘headlights.’

Daytime Running Lights (DRL) were installed on all cars from 2011 with the rule coming into force for buses and trucks in 2012. The DRL is a low energy consumption method of illumination that is designed more for making the vehicle more visible to other road users than it is to provide light for the driver.

Studies show that they have made it easier for pedestrians and cyclists to detect vehicles with DRL than those without, making the road a considerably safer place for all.

In terms of traditional headlights, there are certain times and locations when they must be turned on and used during the day. Areas where they are needed, such as when going through tunnels, are marked by a blue circu-

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I HAVE had loads of emails so thanks for that and in them are quite a few things which drive me nuts too. One from Peter has one of my pet grumps and that is being called ‘mate’ by someone that I have only just met. There are a few of my friends that we address each other as mate, but we have known each other for years. How can you meet someone for the first time and say, ‘Hello mate?’ One of my daughter’s ex-boyfriends did it. I’d never met him before and the first thing he said was, ‘Hello mate.’ Anyway, as I said, he is now an ex ... see ya later mate.

I used to work the markets and in fairgrounds all around the UK and, to be honest, as a cockney it would not be unusual, when serving the public, if it was a female, I would call them ‘love’ or ‘sweetheart.’ But it was in a very casual and friendly environment and I think you will agree that it’s half expected when shopping in a street market. Where it is not acceptable is when being served in a very expensive restaurant. That’s why Mrs S got the right hump when the waitress said to her, ‘Is everything OK sweetheart?’ Now believe

me we are not snobs, far from it, but it’s all about being respectful. Maybe if we are in a cafe and we are regulars, but a top end restaurant, I don’t think so? Are we wrong? We don’t want to be called sir or madam just not sweetheart.

Talking about manners - how hard is it to say thank you, in the form of a small hand gesture, if I stop to let you out in a line of traffic? I don’t want you to get out and present me with a gift or blow me kisses, but just say thanks for letting me out you miserable ignorant git. Another Peter shares a grump with me about the women that insist on getting their baby out of the car on the road side so you have their back door open and them manoeuvring their most treasured possession into oncoming traffic. Why would you do that?

And if you ever try and say something all you get is a volley of abuse.

Talking about mums and babies why on earth do they step off the curb onto a zebra crossing with their buggy without looking? I know they have right of way but sometimes if my car has just come off the roundabout and there is another car right up behind me, I need that extra second or so. It’s not fair on anybody concerned. Just stop for a second and give us drivers a chance to stop too.

Something else I realised this week is that arguing with the wife is like reading a software licensing agreement. In the end you ignore everything and just click ‘I agree.’

St Nikolaus Dinner at Puente Romano

By John Smith ONE of the high spots in the Marbella social calendar is the annual St Nikolaus Dinner at the Puente Romano Hotel which this year will be held on November 25 at 8.30pm in order to raise funds for the Concordia Anti-Aids Asociacion (ACAS).

The association often referred to simply as Concordia was set up in 1994 in order to offer help and assistance to those people affected by HIV/AIDS and is run from a dedicated centre at Calle Carlota Navarrete, 21 in San Pedro de Alcantara which opened in 1997.

Funds for this very worthy charity which is run with the support of the Marbella Town Hall are so important and their president Princess MarieLouise of Prussia, great grand-daughter of Kaiser Wilhelm II and cousin to Queen Sophia, works tirelessly with her colleagues to obtain funds for this very worthy charity.

The St Nikolaus dinner is a very important way of bringing the never-ending problem of the disease to the attention of the public.

This is an occasion where guests can enjoy an incredibly good meal in luxuri-

OPINION & COMMENT

A trip to the ‘towering pizza’ Colin Bird A weekly look Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-thewall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.

WE have just returned from Italy, the land of large arm gestures, small cars and even smaller coffees, as our friend Adrian observed when presented with a tiny glass cup, containing a half inch of cowering espresso.

We agreed later that he should have asked for a fresh cup because the one served had a coffee stain in the bottom. But you always think of these smart retorts after the event.

Wine tasting in Tuscany was yet another box on my lengthy bucket list that I have been able to sign off as accomplished.

As we were preparing to land at Pisa airport, the Princess turned to me and asked, ‘Will we see the towering pizza?’

This will come as no surprise to those who know my lovely lady who has her own unique turn of phrase, and this

ITALIAN LANDMARK: The leaning tower of Pisa. is yet another entry for The Thesaurus of Brummie Sayings.

Prior to our flight from Gatwick, we stayed overnight,

as usual, at the Premier Inn. We are fans of the hotel chain: the standard of the rooms is consistently good, the staff friendly and helpful, and

the food is excellent.

But I have been a little dismayed of late, to see the bank of Dalek-like automatic checkin machines at reception.

These are supposed to make the process easier which they certainly do not in my opinion.

These gadgets have their place, but not for ageing old gits like me who appreciate personal service.

So I automatically turned to the only breathing staff member in the vicinity, who completed our check-in manually in 90 seconds, which is what I call quick and easy.

It’s not about saving time of course, just saving on staff wages.

However, as we arrived at 1pm and the rooms are not available until 3pm, it was suggested that we relax in the coffee lounge.

I have always thought this ludicrous in a hotel that is situated at an international airport.

However, we were informed that we could go immediately to a room if we would like to pay £10 for the privilege. In other words there were indeed rooms ready to be occupied, but only at extra cost and with 700 rooms, a nice little earner for Premier Inn. They obviously believe that it is worth the erosion of their ‘customer comes first’ reputation. Shame.

Facebook blocks insurance firm John Smith Random thoughts...

A BRITISH insurance company has fallen foul of Facebook which has told it that it may not proceed with a plan it had to offer young drivers a possible reduction in premiums if it was allowed complete access to their Facebook profiles.

The trial which was to be undertaken by Admiral - which promotes its services on TV by showing a young woman dressed in an obsolete sailor’s outfit encouraging her staff to offer good deals – planned to use a computer review of the content of individuals’ Facebook profiles to analyse likely risks.

If, for example, one of those reviewed was constantly referring to drunken nights out, bungee jumping and posting questionable images, then they would be likely to be considered less trustworthy than another youngster discussing flower arranging and making timed appointments for nights out.

Facebook jumped in before the trial started saying that they could not

PRIVACY PROTECTION: No access allowed to analyse user risks. allow this to happen as there were serious privacy concerns, not so much centred on the person who had agreed to the review, but for those people who were friends who shared posts and timelines.

“Protecting the privacy of the people on Facebook is of utmost importance to us. We have clear guidelines that prevent information obtained from Facebook from being used to

make decisions about eligibility,” said a Facebook spokesman.

Indeed Facebook rules actually anticipate exactly this scenario and say “Don’t use data obtained from Facebook to make decisions about eligibility, including whether to approve or reject an application or how much interest to charge on a loan.”

Admiral have been told that they can allow people to apply for a quote

UK PM: Theresa May.

The British and Brexit AS a company owned by Britons who have based their lives in Spain and are very happy to have been accepted in this wonderful country, we are unashamedly pro-Europe as can be gathered from our masthead which proudly says Euro Weekly News.

Part of our mission is to keep the large number of English speaking expats and the hundreds of thousands of annual visitors updated as to what is happening in our adopted homeland and how it will affect us all, especially as so many of our readers have to rely on pensions, many of which are paid in sterling and have to be converted to euros.

It was no secret that the result of the referendum came as a disappointment and shock to us and it has hurt the financial position of many of our readers. There was at the time a great deal of speculation as to what would happen when Britain leaves the EU and scaremongering on both sides.

A colleague was adamant it was pointless to speculate too early as no one knew what would unfold. How prescient he was as despite the expectation that the government could simply use the Royal Prerogative to initiate Article 50 this was challenged in court.

The immediate result was a surge in the pound’s value, a dispirited Theresa May calling for an appeal to the Supreme Court and explaining what had happened to the President of the European Commission, statements of opposition from MPs like Kenneth Clarke and a general feeling things are by no means finalised.

Plenty still want Brexit but there are now two imminent by-elections caused by Tory resignations which the disenfranchised may now vote in.

Clearly some youngsters between the ages of 17 and 21 will be disappointed that they can’t take advantage of this option to obtain a possible discounted quote for their first ever car insurance but there is no reason why Admiral can’t ask them to fill in a personality profile once they register their interest in obtaining a quote.

Certain rights groups have applauded Facebook for their decision as they believe that the use of such analytical software is both unethical and intrusive.

A cynic might suggest that this information is very valuable and therefore Facebook, which does sell advertising targeting specific users, has either developed its own analysis software or has been prompted to do so following this aborted trial.

Warming up your home over winter ONE thing most expats have to deal with is the look of incredulity on the faces of old

friends when you tell them it’s actually cold in the winter, inside at least. Without

central heating we’re about to hit a long stretch of choosing between being warm and saving money.

There are some relatively cheap tricks you can use to save as much heat and money as possible.

Firstly, let sunlight sweep in during the day, then close the curtains at dusk to capture as much heat as possible. Speaking of curtains, use heavy and thick ones to prevent heat seeping out too quickly. You can also put curtains and rugs over doors to patch up any cracks, even letterboxes can cause a draught!

Cover up bare floorboards which can quickly unleash heat from the home and watch out for open fireplaces, when they aren’t in use heat can escape through the chimney, or cold air come down from it.

No tree is too tall SINCE 2001, Andres del Castillo has conducted forestry and gardening work all over the province of Malaga, especially in the Costa del Sol, but also in Granada, Antequera and Sevilla.

He has designed and created all types of gardens over the years such as ecological urban gardens, low consumption configurations and even gardens with automatic irrigation systems. However, he has specialised in the pruning and treatment of trees and palms, using the latest methods of biological control and tree injections, ensuring the health of both the tree and the people and their pets that are around it.

Andrés and his team have extensive experience, are specialised in the trade and have reliable equipment to ensure a professional and safe job in any situation. They can also manage the relevant permits needed from local town halls.

Safety is paramount in this industry and risks are taken very seriously.

Quotes for work are given at no cost and the team will always try to give the best advice for each individual garden. Andrés loves his work and his motto ‘No tree is too tall’ defines himself and his team as a company who is willing to perform any project with enthusiasm and professionalism.

SAFETY FIRST: Risks are taken very seriously.

Hydropnics: Is this the end of gardening as we know it?

FUTURE FOLIAGE: Gardening could be controlled using a phone app.

AGRICULTURE, one of man’s oldest habits, might soon be taken from him by robots who are simply better at the job.

That development may well extend to gardening as technological advances suggest that the best thing you can do to ensure bountiful growth is to simply leave the process to the experts.

The experts in this case are

new ‘e-farms’ which are smart garden boxes armed with sensors, alarms and settings which can grow all manner of plants hydroponically – without the need for soil.

‘Gardening’ in this world becomes merely following the instructions of a phone app or alarm which gauges to precision when more light or warmth is needed.

All the guess work is taken out of the equation and many even have an auto-watering reservoir. All you really have to do is set it up and wait.

This is ideal if your only aim is to have high quality, home grown lettuce as soon as possible but the ‘e-farms’ will probably encounter resistance from people who enjoy gardening for gardening’s sake.

SAFETY ZONE: Get to know your puppy’s schedule.

PUPPIES are adorable but require a lot of attention so here are some tips to help with housebreaking your puppy.

Feed your puppy a superior brand of dry puppy food. Don’t give him scraps or change brands and avoid tinned food as it loosens stools making housebreaking more difficult.

An hour after eating, most puppies will defecate so you can control the time based on your feeding schedule.

In order to housebreak your puppy supervise him closely at all times, especially when outside his crate or newspaper covered area. When he starts sniffing the floor, circling or running around, he’s giving signs so

bring him immediately to your designated area.

If your puppy defecates in the wrong place, stop him by saying NO in a loud assertive tone. Apply deodoriser so he will not go there again. Potty place must be free of distractions: your pup must not consider play a part of potty.

When your puppy is left home alone it’s recommended he’s placed in a crate or confined area. Confinement is good to keep your puppy safe and prevent housetraining accidents but it should not be used as a form of punishment.

In a puppy’s daily life, there is a thing called temporary ‘Safety Zone.’ It’s the time

owners can trust the puppy to hold his urine after he has defecated or was taken for a walk.

To know your puppy’s safety zone, you should record for several days your puppy’s urinating and defecating schedules then deduct 15-30 minutes from the period of minimum interval between elimination.

Don’t let puppy drink a lot of water during that time to make the safety zone work. Grey zone and danger zone are those outside this safety zone.

Don’t return from a walk until your puppy defecates. Before your puppy has the chance to soil on his crate or your floor, make sure to take him outside first thing in the morning.

LIVING in Marbella for some years Badger’s owners have very much enjoyed their life in this location. They enjoy the lifestyle and having dogs at home as part of their family. They are based full time in Marbella but occasionally like to go away on holiday to discover new places themselves.

When they go away they usually place Badger in kennels. However, as she is maturing they find her more relaxed and comfortable staying at home. They have just tried using a HouseSitMatch house-sitter for the first time and are happy with the result.

Gail their house-sitter is from Scotland and likes spending time in Spain; sadly she lost her husband a few years ago. She is a semi-retired professional who finds that house-sitting in new locations offers her an opportunity to travel safely by staying in people’s homes and exchanging her services as a house-sitter and pet-sitter for free accommodation.

She likes this way of travelling because it offers her security and independence. And staying in a home in a real neighbourhood can be great fun and more interesting than in a neutral hotel. And she has met some wonderful people on her travels.

Do you need a sitter? Get in touch.

House-sitting can be a win-win for both parties, free house and pet-sitting, and the experienced and checked sitters get free accommodation!

CHARITIES 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) 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) 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 in fo@sepeonline.net www.sepe online.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-an imals.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)

Road testing the Suzuki Baleno

by Nick Fletcher THE Baleno is Suzuki’s new five door hatchback, more spacious than the Swift and featuring a punchy yet economical 1.0 litre turbo-boost petrol engine.

Prices start at £12,999 (€14,607) and while there is no diesel version, there is also a 1.2 petrol model with a hybrid system which offers a combined fuel figure of 70.6 mpg.

Suzuki says most buyers will opt for the 1.0 litre turbo model, and this is the version I tested recently. It delivers nippy performance: top speed is 124 mph, 060 mph time is 11.4 seconds and it returns 62.7 mpg combined.

The stats are typical of the sector, which includes rivals such as the Ford Fiesta, Skoda Fabia and Hyundai i20, but the Baleno scores well with generous equipment and greater interior space.

All models get air-conditioning, satnav and Bluetooth, and my test model, in SZ5 trim at £13,999 (€15,731) featured 16inch alloy wheels, chrome detailing to grille, door-handles and

tailgate, door mirrors with builtin signalling and rear privacy glass. It also had tyre pressure monitoring, adaptive cruise control, keyless entry with push-button-start, a gear-shift indicator and DAB radio.

On the road, the three-cylinder 1.0 litre turbocharged engine has 110 hp, so it offers decent response and gives a nimble feel without having to work it hard.

It’s a well-balanced car, displaying plenty of grip and com-

posure, and while the suspension set-up is a little softer than some, it gives excellent comfort without compromising the handling.

The boot has 320 litres capacity with the rear seats in use or double with seats folded down.

Congratulations go to number one Andy Murray, Chelsea and Ireland Tony Matthews International Sports A former player and now the world’s most prolific author of football books with almost 150 published since 1975, Tony is also the sports correspondent for Spectrum Radio and lives on La Pilica in the Sierra Cabrera Mountains overlooking Turre.

Costa de Almeria

LAST weekend (Friday-Sunday inclusive) there were enough hours of sport on TV (and live outside if you chose to travel) to please everybody, young, old, bed-ridden, whatever. And there were some superb team and individual performances… effectively there were plenty of fireworks on and around 5 November!

TENNIS • Last Saturday

afternoon, Andy Murray became the first Brit to reach number one in the world rankings when Milos Raonic pulled out of France’s BNP Paribas Masters semi-final, giving the Scot a free passage into the final. Murray, second behind Novak Djokovic in the world for 76 weeks, went on to beat American John Isner in the final to claim his eighth title of 2016 (six on the APT tour, plus Wimbledon and Olympic Games triumphs).

Rankings were introduced in 1973.

• GB’s Johanna Konta, by reaching the semi-final of the Elite Open in China, will end 2016 in the women’s top 10. Petra Kvitova won the final.

• The annual ATP World finals are taking place in CHELSEA FC: Cahill and Costa.

London (November 13 - 20).

FOOTBALL • Recent PL action saw Chelsea, playing superbly with some brilliant goals hammer Everton 5-0 to top the table temporarily before being overtaken by Liverpool who crushed Watford 6-1… Manchester City were held 1-1 by Middlesbrough… Arsenal drew 1-1 with Spurs in the London derby… WBA ended Leicester’s 20-match unbeaten home run, winning 2-1… 10man Sunderland gained their first win of the season, defeating Bournemouth 2-1… Zlatan Ibrahimovic netted twice as Manchester United won 3-1 at Swansea… Burnley squeezed home 3-2 against Crystal Palace… Hull hit back to beat Southampton 2-1… and Stoke drew 1-1 at West Ham. • In the Championship, leaders Newcastle beat Cardiff 2-1…

Leeds won 3-2 at Norw i c h …

Brighton (with a 5 0 yard

lobbed goal by Steve Sidwell) beat Bristol City 2-0… Derby 3-2 won at Wolves who now have Paul Lambert in charge… Aston Villa defeated Blackburn 2-1… and after their 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest, QPR sacked manager Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink.

• In the FAC first round, non-League Macclesfield won 1-0 at Walsall… Eastleigh held Swindon 1-1… and Westfields, the lowest-ranked team in the competition, drew 1-1 with Curzon Ashton.

• Celtic beat Inverness CT 3-0 to go 10 points clear in the SPL. • Congratulations to Edinburgh City who won their first-ever League game in Scotland, beating Montrose 10… and Berwick (reduced to eight men) drew 1-1 with Cowdenbeath.

• There are no PL/Championship games this weekend owing to WC qualifiers which include England-Scotland and Northern Ireland-Azerbaijan tomorrow and Austria-Republic of Ireland, Spain-Macedonia and Wales-Serbia on Saturday.

• England meet Spain in a friendly at Wembley next Tuesday.

• Congratulations to Manchester City (3-1 v Barcelona) and Southampton (2-1 v Inter Milan) on their excellent

‘European’ victories. Nothing to say about Manchester United!

RUGBY UNION • Ireland (with five tries) pulled off a memorable 40 points to 29 victory over New Zealand before 62,300 fans at Soldier Field in Chicago last weekend - their first-ever win over the All Blacks in 111 years, while also ending the Kiwis’ run of 18 successive wins.

• In other internationals, the Barbarians drew 31-31 with South Africa and Australia beat Wales 32-8.

• In the Pro12 League, there were victories for Munster 33-0 over Ospreys and Edinburgh 28-17 against Ulster.

• This weekend we have ‘friendlies’ involving EnglandSouth Africa, Ireland-Canada, Scotland-Australia and WalesArgentina.

CRICKET • The first of five Tests between India and England started in Rajkot yesterday.

The tourists are without fast bowler James Anderson who’s says he’ll be fit for the

ANDY MURRAY: Ranked World’s No 1.

DID YOU KNOW? Rochdale player Calvin Andrew has been banned for 12 matches by the FA who found him guilty of violent conduct in the recent derby with Oldham. The referee missed the incident but the FA took action after video replays showed Andrew elbowing Peter Clarke in the face.

IRELAND RUGBY: Won over New Zealand.

remainder of the series. India, the top-ranked country in the world, have the best batsman in captain Virat Kohli and their spinners aren’t bad either! The second Test is in Visakhapatnam from November 17 - 21.

ROUND-UP • Five days ago England beat Scotland 38-12 in the first-ever Rugby League international between the two countries.

• On Sunday, Valencia stages the final MotoGP of the year while the F1 cars and drivers are in Sao Paulo for the Brazilian Grand Prix - another must win race for Lewis Hamilton!

• Boxer Manny Pacquiao beat Jessie Vargas to reclaim his WBO Welterweight title on his return to the ring.

• Tiger Woods (after a practice round) will play in the Bahamas Heroes World Challenge from December 1 - 4.

• GB cyclists Katie Archibald and Manon Lloyd won the Madison gold in Glasgow.

• Champion racehorse Highland Reel won the 2016 Breeder’s Cup, and a fund, in aid of jockey Freddie Tylicki who was paralysed after a fall at Kempton Park 10 days ago, has now topped £150,000.

U D Fuengirola vs Barrio de los Remedies

FUENGIROLA TEAM: An important game.

IT was a very important game for both teams who are currently n e c k a n d n e c k in th e table. The home team started the game nervously, which the visitors took advantage of to score the first goal early on.

After conceding, the home team got things back together and scored three goals before half time.

When the game restarted it wasn’t as intense as before the break, with the visiting team s lo w in g it d o w n u n til the y were awarded a penalty which made it 3-2. Fuengirola managed to gain a goal back before conceding a penalty in the last minute of the game.

This brought the final result to 4-3 for the home team.

A busy couple of weeks NOW that the visiting team season has drawn to a close, the competitive bowling season on the Costa del Sol gets into full swing. As a result it’s a very busy fortnight approaching at Miraflores Bowls Club.

Firstly it’s the Club’s annual Drawn Triples Competition starting on Monday, which as always has a very good entry from the members. Last season the competition was delayed and ended up being played in freezing cold conditions in January (see the picture of the finalists for confirmation).

This year the weather forecast is excellent so we are looking forward to playing out the competition in balmier conditions.

Secondly, the largest open bowls competition on the coast the ‘Miraflores Open’ commences on Saturday November 12. Entries closed on Friday 4th and as always there was a huge entry of around 300 for the different disciplines that are contested.

There are two major sponsors in place, namely Ibex Insurance and for the first time Solar in Spain, both of
