Drug police hold young UK gangsters

Sting ends high life

By Matthew Elliott A massive drug operation involving young British crooks who rented posh Marbella homes has ended in a police sting.

Twenty-one people have been held in Spain and three in the UK in a series of co-ordinated swoops by investigators.

Those held are said to be young British gangsters aged 22 and 25.

Spanish investigators and UK Police in Merseyside working together raided five cannabis farms and seized in total during their co-ordinated efforts 1,600 mature plants, 58 kilos of buds, an industrial

Malaga mourns Manchester dead TOWN halls across Spain have united in solidarity for the victims of the Manchester terror blast.

Many including those in Malaga Province observed a minute’s silence outside respective town halls, with flags at half-mast to remember those killed and hospitalised in Monday’s attack.

Twenty two people died and 64 were in-

jured when suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated an explosive in the Manchester Arena foyer as crowds including young children were leaving a pop concert.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy expressed his sadness, tweeting “I condemn the attack. My thoughts are with the families of the fallen victims and I wish a speedy recovery to the wounded.”

Dealers caught with 150kg of the narcotic in exchange for a lighter sentence gave police details of smuggling operations.

Customs subsequently launched a probe into an English family living in Barcelona which led them to find shipments containing 400 kilos of marihuana entering the UK from Spain by road.

Tracing the vehicles led them to make the arrests.

None of those arrested was officially resident in Spain.

€60 million threat Hotels to crack down on Brit fraudsters

By Matt Ford SPANISH hoteliers are on the warpath after British tourists milked them for more than €60 million last year.

Fraudulent insurance claims will now result in immediate prosecution, they say.

The threat comes after the number of sickness claims rose by 700 per cent in 2016, leading the Spanish hotel owner’s association, CEHAT, to announce a raft of “forceful measures.”

After an urgent meeting with the British Association of Tour Operators and Agencies, ABTA, in Madrid, CEHAT Secretary General Ramon Estalella said: “The situation has become worrying and we cannot wait for long-term measures proposed by tour operators.”

Among the measures to be implemented this year will be a ‘traceability’ scheme whereby guests will have their consumption of food and drink monitored.

This will allow them to assess whether details contained in the claims, which mostly relate to food poisoning and similar complaints, marry up with clients’ behaviour while in Spain.

LAST RESORT: The hotel industry has had enough.

British tourists will also be handed leaflets explaining that false insurance claims constitute a ‘felonious criminal offence’ in Spain, with guilty parties potentially facing jail sentences of six months to three years.

This relates to claims of more than €400, with those from the UK typically amounting to €5-6,000.

According to a CEHAT statement, the system is flawed because “according to the British officials themselves, it is

cheaper to deal with the claims quickly rather than enter en expensive legal process.

“Tour operators also use a dominant market position to impose contracts under which hoteliers become responsible for all types of claims.”

It is estimated that 90 per cent of the claims received by tour operators in 2016 were false, with the scheme driven by specialised ‘claim farms’ which employ aggressive marketing strategies.

Vicious drive-by gang foiled TWO men and a woman have been arrested and charged with attempted murder over the drive-by shooting of a man in Fuengirola.

When police searched the vehicle used in the attack they found 100kg of hashish and also charged the trio with drug trafficking.

The suspects, all of Moroccan descent, came under police suspicion when another Moroccan man reported them to police, accusing them of extortion, assault and deadly threats.

In one particularly vicious attack at the end of April he claims they doused him with pepper spray and slashed his face with a knife.

Days later they allegedly drove past him in a vehicle outside a Fuengirola leisure centre and fired several shots.

A further four vehicles were seized, in which more drugs and cash were found.

Spain backs France MADRID is backing Emmanuel Macron - the new French president in calling for an overhaul of the Eurozone and reforms to the European Union’s economic system.

Postcard from Vigo Historic Rua dos Cesteiros.

VISITORS to the bustling city of Vigo can combine a city and beach break and take the opportunity to soak up both culture and sun.

With a population of 293,000, Galicia’s largest city lies on the Atlantic coast of North West Spain. It is 29km south of the provincial capital of Pontevedra, but the nearest large city is Porto in Portugal, a 153km drive across the border.

And getting to Vigo could not be easier. It has an airport, is on Spain’s motorway network - Madrid is 597km away - and is served by the high speed AVE service.

The area boasts 45 beaches on the mainland and the beautiful, Caribbean-like sands of the Cies Islands can be enjoyed for a day trip.

The scenic old town, ‘casco vello,’ shows off Vigo’s maritime traditions, its history and architecture from a sometimes stormy past. However, there is a busy industrial area while the modern fishing port is the largest in Europe.

Inside the pulsating historic centre there are shops, museums, bars, taverns and restaurants. Tapas bars specialise in seafood, said to be the best in Spain.

Enjoy specialities of octopus, mussels, prawns, lobster, hake and sea bass; and wandering the streets, why not buy a freshly shucked oyster in Calle de la Ostros, hats on Sombrereiros or baskets on Cesteiros.

Call for Franco move SPAIN’S parliament has approved a motion for the remains of General Francisco Franco to be moved from a mausoleum built by prisoners during his dictatorship.

The controversial Valley of the Fallen in the Sierra de Guadarrama holds the bodies of 30,000 dead from both sides of the Spanish Civil War and was built as an act of reconciliation by the regime.

However, the move is largely symbolic and does not place any obligation for the government, whose supports abstained, to act.

Taxi ride UBER, the electronic hail and ride app service, should be licensed like any other taxi firm, a top EU lawyer has said.

Uber links passengers with freelance drivers and is cheaper than traditional cabs, but the lawyer said while “innovative,” it was at heart a transport company and should be regulated as such.

Cocaine cargo COCAINE with a street value of €200 million was seized and 24 people arrested as a container ship was intercepted by the Spanish authorities.

The 5.5kg of the drug was being smuggled from Ecuador to Spain and in a joint operation between the two countries.

Spain’s Interior Minister Juan Ignacio Zoido said it was one of the biggest hauls of cocaine in history.

Sales flying high

By Sally Underwood AIR passengers spend more money on duty free products at Malaga Airport than any other in Spain.

The hub’s 15,000 square metre shopping centre is booming, with over 16.6 million passengers passing through the airport last year.

Despite Malaga being the fourth largest airport in Spain, it is thought travellers spend the most money here because the shopping area was expanded after receiving a €300 million boost.

Analysts also believe the high proportion of local products available has contributed to the airport’s success, with tourists buying last-minute traditional gifts for friends and family before flying home.

The space houses 25 shops, seven of which are duty free, plus 7,000 square metres of cafes and restaurants. The most popular item is vodka, followed by gin, while 60,000

According to Fernandez Bosch, Commercial Services Director of Aena, Malaga’s operator, “a third of the passengers are British, and they

“They spend more at the airport than the Germans, while the proportion of Scandinavians and French is also notable.

“And Russians stand out because they spend a lot.”

As well as putting Malaga firmly on Spain’s tourism map, the duty free snowball also contributes heavily to the local economy, employing 1,000 of the airport’s 6,000 members of staff.

OUR VIEW

Nothing excuses this carnage SOMEHOW the news that teenagers have been killed in what appears to have been a terrorist attack in Manchester makes the news even more horrifying.

Anyone aged 14 or over is allowed into the Manchester Arena unaccompanied and imagine the excitement of the many young people who were perhaps attending their first concert alone. Then imagine the horror when they realised that a bomb had exploded and the panic that swept through the crowd as they tried to flee to safety without even knowing where safety lay.

Parents who were waiting to collect their children were in the foyer as the bomb went off and those that survived then had to try to find their loved ones amongst a crowd of stunned and terrified concert goers.

Whilst security was by all accounts tight prior to the concert, it appears on first reports to have been virtually nonexistent as the evening was coming to an end and anyone was able to access the foyer to await friends and family.

According to the Greater Manchester Police those waiting included one person carrying an Improvised Explosive Device packed with shrapnel who exploded the bomb and died alongside 21 innocents.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this pointless act of inhumanity.

Now we want to hear your views.

Mystery explosion

AN Austrian man is charged with masterminding a clandestine laboratory in Mijas creating designer drugs which he sold across Europe stashed in toy cars and dolls.

Police arrested the 28-year-old, who had no prior chemistry knowledge, at his Mijas home, where they found 350kg of chemical substances used to manufacture synthetic drugs.

The man was using a false identity and had already sent an estimated 50 orders to different European countries.

FLYING THE FLAG: Associations believe the event has lost its soul.

Rainbow warriors

By Matt Ford LGBT associations in Torremolinos are up in arms after the council’s decision to seize control of the 2017 Gay Pride celebrations sparked outrage.

In a statement they claim the town hall has “politicised” the event and “prioritised the recreational and tourist elements above the educational and social aspects” and are threatening to boycott the main parade as a “symbolic protest.”

President of LGBT campaign group Andalucia Diversa, Antonio Ferre, explained how in

2014 former conservative mayor Pedro Fernandez Montes axed an event planned for the central Plaza de la Nogalera due to its proximity to a children’s playground.

This led to local groups working together in a fight for sexual freedom and diversity, and after a major protest the Torremolinos Gay Pride was given the green light by the new socialist council in 2015.

But just two years later the event has lost much of its social awareness message to become “completely focused on tourism and business,” said Ferre.

Spokesperson for the Colega group in Torremolinos, Santiago Rubio, added that Culture councillor Aida Blanes has “excluded the associations that started the Pride” and neglected to hold regular meetings “that have never happened” beyond a single get together in February.

President of the Ojala body, Charo Alises, stressed the need for the council to “balance” the programme, highlighting activities such as a donation of books to the library, an anti-homophobia vigil in Plaza de la Nogalera and a cineforum representing “the true spirit of the pride.”

The two men, 32 and 33, are believed to be part of a wider criminal network that selects vulnerable targets and robs them in the early hours.

The professional thieves used screwdrivers and shears to force open windows and doors. They raided cash registers, slot machines and stole computers, televisions, phones and any other valuables they could get their hands on.

Each man wore both gloves and socks on his hands to thwart police forensics teams hunting them after complaints from local businesses mounted up. Police upped their early morning surveillance and eventually caught the pair red-handed emerging from a Chinese bazaar they had just burgled.

One of the men has been convicted of 30 thefts and robberies in the past. His accomplice is a relative novice with a mere six convictions.

Gone in sixty seconds CAR insurance website Kelisto.es reported that 43,524 cars were stolen in Spain in 2016 and that Malaga Province saw the third highest number of thefts.

Overall, thefts are down throughout Spain over a 10-year period, partly because there were simply fewer cars being sold and because of the increase in the quality of security systems offered with new cars in particular.

Thanks are also due to improvements in police databases which make it easier to record thefts and to check whether a car has been reported as being stolen, although there was a slight increase in theft in certain areas in 2016.

Madrid recorded the highest number of stolen vehicles at 10,559 followed by Barcelona at 6,862 and Malaga with 2,259 thefts, a healthy drop of 10 per cent over 2015.

According to the website, insurers calculate risk

partly on areas of risk and if your car is housed in a garage and has a GPS tracking system, then the cost of insurance will almost certainly be reduced.

Weapons accounted for 1.6 per cent of all Spanish exports last year, which raked in €254 billion.

Britain tops a weapons export list that is largely dominated by Middle Eastern and Muslim dictatorships.

Egypt comes a distant second, buying €213 million of Spanish military gear, Saudi Arabia spent €116 million and war-torn Iraq €38 million.

Only Germany rivalled the UK, buying €771 million of equipment.

Israel, Afghanistan and Turkey each spent hundreds of millions of euros but

none hold a candle to the UK, which itself is one of the world’s biggest arms dealers.

Britain bought four A440M transport aircraft and two MRTT in-flight refuelling aircraft from Spain, as well as parts of an EF-2000 fighter jet.

The bulk of British purchases were ma de under EU ar m am ent pr ogrammes. There is no concern that B re xit wi l l st op t he deal s goi ng through, but the UK departing the EU is expected to jeopardise future agreements.

THE Ciudadanos party in Alhaurín de la Torre wants to see immediate action to improve the disposal of rubbish in Pueblo Cortijo-El Lagar.

Although there are a number of containers for waste disposal in the area, some people are so lazy that they don’t use the containers but simply dump rubbish including garden waste, in the car park, making the area seem like a landfill at times.

It is suggested that urgent action be taken to increase the number of parking spaces, rearrange the containers, adding more if necessary, remove garden waste more quickly and review the drains as water often picks up the rubbish when it rains.

In addition, consideration could be given to a bridge to connect the Pueblo Cortijo and El Lagar areas which might make it easier to dispose of rubbish properly.

Local sporting paradise SPORT in Fuengirola is on course for a major transformation as works on the Santa Fe stadium in Los Boliches race ahead of schedule. The massive renovation effort has a half million euro budget and will create a completely new sporting stadium.

State-of-the-art facilities and a new race track will be the highlights of the work, expected to be finished in August in time for the new sporting calendar after summer. Mayor Ana Mula visited the stadium this week to check on progress and was delighted with what she saw.

SANTA FE: Work on renovating stadium going well.

She told press that the estimated 10,000 regular users of public sports facilities across Fuengirola will have a brilliant new space to compete, train and socialise.

The mayor admitted there had been some small delays when work began last February but claimed it was full steam ahead until the August finish line.

€1.5 million demand met CRUCIAL works worth €1.5 million are taking place in Marbella’s Divina Pastora neighbourhood after a local resident demanded urgent action to spruce up the community. Mayor Jose Bernal visited the site on Saturday and pledged the council’s support for all Marbella neighbourhoods which have felt neglected over the years.

Following detailed consultations with residents, the money is being ploughed in to

renovate Plaza Paco Cantos and Plaza de la Iglesia. Sanitary networks will also be improved and the entire area made cleaner, safer and more pedestrian-friendly.

Roads will be paved with smoother surfaces, local car parks made less chaotic, and historic sculptures cleaned and protected for future generations.

HARD WORK: Huge renovation project in Divina Pastora.

New battle after brain scan for Leo the Lion LAST week four-year-old cancer fighter Leo Bermejo from Almeria travelled to the UK’s Alder Hey hospital for an MRI scan following his recent return from 31 sessions of proton beam therapy in Oklahoma.

DONATE

THE oncologist and radiologist agree that the results show a suspicious mass within the same tumour cavity measuring about 1cm by 0.80cm. There is also another strange area but the on-

cologist seems confident that this is just inflammation from the proton treatment.

Mum Karen reacted to the distressing news saying, “Our hearts are shattered into a million pieces.”

“There is still a glimmer of hope... I know miracles are possible.

“My beautiful boy couldn’t have gone through all of this

To give your support to the ongoing Leo the Lion fundraising campaign here is how you can donate: Paypal: karenlisakeefe@hotmail.com Spanish account • Bank: Banco Sabadell Account Name: Leo James Bermejo Account Number: ES69 0081 0597 0900 0602 1116 • Swift: BSAB ESBB UK account • Bank: Royal Bank of Scotland • Account Name: Alda Keefe Account Number: 17485819 • Sort Code: 16-24-06

for nothing... but we are fighting a beast.

“I can’t watch my boy fade away in front of my eyes... that’s so cruel.”

The medical team will discuss Leo’s case this week and another MRI will be done in a month to determine how fast this mass is growing.

Karen has contacted Alder Hey to tell them that if the tumour is progressing to grow that she would like another operation for Leo fol-

lowed by oral chemo-therapy.

But she knows that if a lumbar puncture test shows positive for cancer cells that they will refuse to operate and it really is over.

But, to date, Leo’s lumbar puncture results have always been negative.

She said, “The most important thing is that Leo is so happy, he is not in any pain, he would not suffer any more pain having another operation, he would not get more damaged, and he just wants to live like a normal little boy so he deserves to have that final chance at life.”

“Everyone I have spoken to have commented how after each procedure or treatment Leo has just got stronger and stronger... I have to continue fighting for him and do whatever it takes.

“I wouldn’t cope. Never mind Sofia losing her best friend and brother.

“The oncologist told me that I have done so much more than some mums would have and given Leo the best chance... but it wasn’t good enough. He doesn’t deserve this.”

It’s almost Shavuot!

JEWISH people worldwide are gearing up to celebrate Shavuot, which this year takes place on May 30 and June 1.

The second of three annual Jewish pilgrim festivals, it is also known as the Festival of Weeks or the Feast of the Harvest since it originally marked the end of the sevenweek Passover barley harvest and the start of the wheat harvest.

It also commemorates the day that God bestowed the Torah, the central reference text of Judaism, on the Israeli people on Mount Sinai in Egypt over 3,000 years ago.

After counting down the 49 days between the end of Passover and Shavuot, Jews celebrate by lighting candles, decorating their homes with plants, staying up all night to study the Torah, attending synagogue readings of the Ten Commandments and feasting on dairy foods.

Euro Weekly News columnist David the Dogman told us: “This is a wonderful and lovely festival celebrating the giving of the Torah, the Jewish Bible, to the children of Israel after they left Egypt. The custom is to eat sweet things like cheesecake to show the sweetness of the occasion.”

We might have also acquired a small apartment and the family became bigger by surprise.

In any case, if we made the decision to sell our property, we might have had to sell it for a lower price than what it was purchased for. Even that fact can be accepted if you knew that markets, including real estate markets, have oscillations over time. However, what you might not have expected is to pay taxes when you are losing money.

This is the well-known tax called PLUSVALIA, a council tax that, until now, was due after the sale of a property and was related to the years one owned a property.

As our Constitutional Supreme Court rightly ruled in a very important judgement, this tax does not conform to the constitutional principle of economic capacity and rules must be changed.

Is sinister game real?

AS many as six Russian schoolgirls may be implicated in the first reported case involving the macabre ‘blue whale’ suicide game in Andalucia.

The case is now being

probed by the National Police after a 15-year-old girl’s parents reported that their daughter had carved ‘F-57,’ one of the hashtags associated with the game, into her forearm.

They and five other families are now receiving counselling after their teenage daughters allegedly signed up for the macabre game, which has been linked to the deaths of at least 130 children in Russia.

Players each report to an administrator, who assigns a series of increasingly gruesome tasks over a period of 50 days, typically involving self-harm or watching horror videos at unusual hours.

Photographic or video evidence must be provided to the curator as each task is completed, with the sleep-deprived, psychologically-depressed player eventually encouraged to commit suicide to ‘win’ the game.

New cases are apparently springing up around the world from Argentina to China.

Bark-tic explorer POLAR EXPLORATION: Investigated dogs in four villages.

MALAGA teenager Manuel Calvo Ariza has become, at the age of 17, the youngest polar explorer in the history of Spain.

In a 22-day expedition in the north of Greenland, Manuel accompanied by his father travelled more than 400 kilometres in temperatures of between 20 and 32 degrees below freezing.

The expedition was organised by Marathon Dog and

sponsored by pet shop chain Tiendanimal to analyse the effects of climate change on the decline of the Greenlandic dog (very similar to the Siberian husky) population of the area.

Manuel collaborated with the University of Malaga, collecting biological samples for further investigation and surveying 1,420 dogs in four villages overlooking the vast Baffin Bay.

In these four villages, there are now more dogs than people. For example, in the largest - Qaanaaq - there are 900 residents and 1,000 dogs.

In a statement to the Spanish press, Manuel said - “The expedition has taught me a lot, especially to value what we have here - everything that, until now, I did not give importance to. It has been a fascinating experience.�

Expats in Spain can finally put painful memories to rest

Sick killer going to hell With many wishing him an eternity ‘rotting in hell,’ serial killer Ian Brady made dark funeral arrangements to prepare himself for the Devil, writes David Noon

WHEN Ian Brady’s coffin eventually goes up in flames next week there won’t be a tear spilt for Britain’s most twisted killer.

Responsible for abducting and killing at least five children in the 1960s, Brady’s funeral will mark the final chapter for a community tortured by the memories of crimes committed over 50 years ago.

Striking fear into the Manchester community along with his girlfriend Myra Hindley - who died, aged 60 in November 2002 - the Moors Murders changed the face of the North West of England, Britain and beyond.

Some of those who lived through the torment of Brady’s sick reign are now residing in retirement throughout Spain, the majority on the Costas.

And despite being over 1,750 kms away from where the crimes took place, they will finally be able to put their painful memories to rest, knowing that the monster responsible for such heinous crimes is no longer on this planet.

British expat Carol Wootton is just one of the thousands now living here.

Residing with her husband in Alhaurin el Grande, Costa del Sol, she still struggles however to escape from the ‘truly shocking memories’ of the case that she studied while at university.

“A lot of expats, myself included, lived through these dark times,” she told the Euro Weekly News. “This for us is the final chapter of this heinous behaviour.

“I have many clear and truly shocking memories of this case from listening to evidence in court to talking to friends in the pub. It was horrific.”

She added: “This case rocked thousands of normal working class families of Manchester and the surrounds.

IN HELL: Ian Brady died aged 79 at Ashworth high-security hospital.

Brady’s last victim and the Spanish shotgun mystery WHILE most people will be glad to see Ian Brady’s corpse go up in flames, the family of his final victim have been left in an eternal limbo.

Brady never revealed the location of Keith Bennett’s body, who was snatched in 1964, and he has taken that last secret to his grave.

Despite pleas from Keith’s mother Winnie Johnson to Brady, the serial killer never revealed where the 12-year-old lad had

been buried. In fact, he never revealed any details of how he and Myra Hindley killed Keith.

But hope for an answer is not lost. Justice campaigners have found a Spanish-made shotgun that they believe holds the key.

Following ‘clues’ left in Brady’s book The Gates of Janus, campaigners, family and friends uncovered a double-barrelled shotgun on Saddleworth Moor while hunting for Keith’s grave last year.

While they believe this was the murder weapon used to kill Keith, scientists have so far not been able to connect it to the crime.

Campaigner Erica Gregory, believes that she has cracked the code while reading Brady’s book in reverse.

Murder weapon or not, the discovery of the shotgun reveals that even after his death the family and friends of Keith Bennett will continue to seek out the truth.

“The social impact was immense; so many people immediately stopped leaving their kids alone to go to the pub. Something that had previously been unheard of.

“Their palpable fear and abhorrent disgust pulled them together to the heights of which society had not seen since the Second World War. “They became a close knit community again, and we were very much part of it. This case changed the community and impacted Britain like no other.”

And the depth of feeling that swept the nation in the 1960s remains as strong today.

The outpouring of emotion since Brady died aged 79 of lung cancer at Ashworth high-security prison where he spent much of his 51 years behind bars after being declared ‘medically psychotic’ - has been overwhelming.

Facebook and Twitter has been full of users wishing Brady an eternity ‘rotting in hell.’ The EWN website has equally been full of comments from expats closing the door on Brady’s memory.

From his funeral plans, it would appear that Brady himself was even preparing for a lifetime in the Devil’s company.

For much of his time behind bars, the serial killer had been orchestrating a detailed plan for his final send off.

And it looks like the Moors Murderer was preparing himself to meet the Devil when he chose his funeral music.

In his final psychotic missive, Brady is to be cremated to a symphony that charts a murderer’s descent into hell.

Hector Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique is about a killer haunted by the spirit of his victims in hell and is largely considered one of the darkest pieces of music ever written.

As Brady’s coffin enters the flames, the killer appears to have readied his mind for an eternity in hell.

And no one would begrudge him his place beside the Devil.

POLL OF THE WEEK Given the horrific nature of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley’s crimes, should they have been given death sentences, thereby saving UK taxpayers hundreds of thousands of pounds?

Age Care Benalmadena Group AGE CARE ASSOCIATION would like you to meet the group at Benalmadena. They meet regularly every Monday between 11am and 1pm at Bar Pitanza, near Bonanza Square.

They are a large group of over 40 people who love to meet, chat and make friends. Many have established close friendships and often meet on other occasions. Gina Foster, who has organised the group for many years, leads the group admirably. She often supports many of the clients in a huge variety of ways during the week. Her tireless efforts are often not recognised.

Age Care would like to thank her for her devoted dedication to the charity. Nigel Foster, who is a relatively new volunteer, supports Gina but she

would also love to have the support of other volunteers. If you think that you could give a little of your time to work as a volunteer, then please contact Age Care Association.

Last Monday Ana Scherman, a councillor from the Foreigner’s Department at Benalmadena paid an unexpected visit to the group, just to say hello and meet clients. The Foreigners Department has kept close contact with Age Care for many years now and support the work of the Charity.

Age Care Association is a non-profit, registered charity run entirely by volunteers. Contact in fo@agecarecosta.org or ring Gina 691 761 088 if you are interested in becoming a volunteer at Benalmadena.

STAT OF WEEK

€1.129 trillion

SADDLED with huge amounts of toxic debt, the Banco Popular needs to find a saviour according to the European Central Bank.

Economy Minister Luis de Guindos invited Spanish banks to submit expressions of interest in taking over Banco Popular but the response has been lukewarm with the most likely bidder being the troubled Bankia which is 66 per cent owned by the Spanish government.

is the value of toxic (bad) debt held by Banco Popular.

With a capitalisation of just €3 billion and 2016 losses amounting to €3.5 billion, Banco Popular does seem to be vulnerable, but according to the minister there will be no rush sale, although he recognises that absorption by another bank and rationalisation of debt

ON STRIKE: Algeciras dockers.

Port law reforms to be approved AFTER months of strikes, €21 million in EU fines and parliamentary defeat, the government will finally be able to push through reformed port laws.

This has been a major bone of contention amongst the various political parties, docker’s unions and the European Union which has demanded the ending of what is a closed shop in Spanish ports.

In the lead up to the first vote, many ports saw waves of strikes and with Ciudadanos abstaining

would be sensible.

The other Spanish commercial banks are in the process of building their businesses by increased investment to attract more customers or by the takeover of healthy overseas banking operations such as the recent TSB acqui-

in the vote, the proposed law fell at the first fence.

Now following discussions between the government and various parties in parliament, following some amendments to the proposed bill, the second draft law has been passed.

This will come as a relief to the government which faced additional and increased fines but may see more strikes in the two largest ports of Algeciras and Barcelona which could damage the economy.

BUSINESS EXTRA

Pension worries WITH many Spaniards worrying about the lack of money to pay future pensions, it has been revealed that 1.1 million receive two p u b l i c p e n s i o n s . Wi t h t h e current workforce not contributing enough to cover pension expenditure, the government needs to consider options.

Mad law E N V I R O N M E N TA L I S T Robert Kennedy Junior visiting Sevilla criticised Spain’s lack of support for solar energy. He called it a ‘mad law’ in favour of the oil companies and stressed the need for the country to become a leader in clean energy.

Electric avenue NISSAN Spain has asked the government to reduce tax on electric cars to increase sales and save €18 million of fuel costs. Nissan would increase advertising in order to encourage Spanish drivers to switch to electric if tariffs were lower.

Consumer price index up SPAIN has seen an increase in the General Consumer Price Index for April to 2.6 per cent.

This is an annual review of the cost of a basket of items updated monthly and is considered a very important reflection of the health of a

country’s economy which is important when calculating inflation rates.

Main contributors to this latest monthly increase are housing costs, fuel, electricity and leisure.

sition.

The bank appears to be operating quite well under its new president Emilio Saracho from a purely operational point of view but the toxic debt it carries, if reversed and converted to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), would be placed just behind Bahrain at the bottom of the world’s 100 most successful economies.

If it can dispose of its debt (and Spain already owns the Sareb toxic debt bank) then it would certainly be a viable proposition.

Government gets help from EU law DUE to an EU directive, Spain is due to unexpectedly reclaim €1 billion from Spanish companies.

This is the amount of money that the Spanish government gave to assist Spanish business to purchase foreign companies and was known as the Trade Fund, but in a ruling by the European Court of Justice it was decided that such state support was against Community rules.

Now the Spanish Tax Authorities have indicated they will collect refunds from companies who received this support from corporate tax returns for 2017 to 2020.

Whilst the companies involved may not be happy it will be a useful bonus.

ALMOST one year on from the Brexit vote that saw British expat pensioners living in Spain getting less in euros from State pensions due to a fall in the value of Sterling, those that still live in the UK face predicted price rises.

While t h e o u t c o m e o f Bre x it may be uncertain, Mintel’s flagship British Lifestyles report reveals that consumers are braced for an expensive future ahead and that could be increasing depending on the General Election results.

The report states that 83 per cent of Britons are currently concerned about seeing price rises on goods and services, with 59 per cent worried about the mounting cost of groceries, 35 per cent worried about the climbing cost of holidays and 26 per cent fearing that clothes prices will ascend.

The report also looks at what it refers to as the bigger picture and four out of five interviewed are worried about the prospects for the National Health Service (NHS) and since the report was issued, it was almost crippled by the WannaCry virus and has been at the centre of the General Election manifesto

Spanish government hopes to be able to influence the eurozone La Moncloa flickr

SPAIN wants to see an overhaul of the eurozone and has offered to lead the way.

The economy ministry has revealed that it has sent a proposal to the European Commission suggesting greater economic unification amongst the 19 members who have adopted the euro as their unit of currency.

Spain is promoting itself as the one economy that has managed to drag itself out of financial difficulty.

The government appears united on this proposal, supporting the concepts put forward by recently elected French President Emmanuel Macron and has stated that the euro has been vulnerable to economic influences which led to a painful increase in unemployment in countries such as Spain.

Mariano Rajoy and his ministers want to see a new banking union, introduction of euro bonds, an anticrisis budget, and a common unemployment insurance scheme which would apply to all members of the eurozone.

The timing of this proposal is crucial as the EU will be shortly reviewing its policy concerning the

MARIANO RAJOY: Wants to lead the reform of the eurozone. euro which when implemented will be far reaching, certainly as far as 2025.

Spain believes that having worked its way out of the crisis it is ideally placed to lead the way forward.

In addition to the proposed changes, it is also recommended that the EU increases its ability to oversee the actions of members to ensure that they are

implementing sensible and workable policies in order to grow their economies.

Spain is promoting itself as the one economy in the zone that has managed to drag itself out of financial difficulty by the implementation of painful reform and is proud that it has recently become one of the most successful economies in the EU.

Spain offers to advise the EU on employment AT a G20 meeting in Germany, Spanish employment secretary Fatima Báñez announced the creation of a specialist employment committee.

Consisting of a number of experts in the field of employment the committee will be charged with making recommendations for future employment options, especially in the digital field.

The minister made it clear as first suggested in a Madrid conference the Spanish government has two aims, firstly to see the increase of pan-European employment at the rate of 500,000 jobs a year and to create a talented employee bank ready for the future.

She believes it imperative to see stability of employment both for the peace of mind of workers but also to increase competitiveness suggesting that as one of the most successful economies in the eurozone Spain can lead with Germany.

“We are aware much remains to be done,” said the minister, who pointed out that Spain faces two essential challenges, cultivating and attracting talent.”

Bad Bank to float shares BAD BANK Sareb is looking to float shares in a new estate agency which holds properties valued at €11 billion.

Although believed to be State owned, it actually has private investors accounting for 55 per cent of its equity and they are looking to receive a 15 per cent return on their money during the life of the Bank.

In addition to the huge property portfolio, mostly repossessed homes, Sareb has undertaken to fund the building of 3,716 apartments and houses ranging in price from €17,700 to €394,417 across 16 different regions including Andalucia, the Balearics and Valencia.

Although it admits it has lost €751 million since its creation in 2012, it appears confident that as the Spanish economy recovers, it will generate positive revenue through the disposal of more properties.

Choice of telecoms providers shrinks

By John Smith AS Spanish telecoms companies look to expand, the latest takeover offer values Zegona’s Telecable at €686 million.

According to Basque based company Euskaltel it is prepared to take over debt of €245 million, payment of tax at €15 million and pay the balance in cash and newly created shares.

Zegona only purchased Telecable for a reported €633 million as recently as 2015 and

In the past few years, five smaller companies have been taken over. the share offer which includes a seat on the board of Euskaltel and a 15 per cent shareholding in that entity may well be enough for the offer to be accepted at the AGM in June.

During the past few years four major telecoms companies have between them taken

over five smaller companies, arguably reducing the choice users, although they still compete quite fiercely.

All of the main suppliers of internet connections have however been accused by a consumer group of misleading new customers by hiding certain information in small print or not even mentioning the fact that prices can increase or that with fibre lines no phone line is needed, even though they often insist on charging for one.

Bid to create world’s largest toll road operator AS forecast in our 1660 edition, Italy’s Atlantia has bid €16.3 billion to take over Spain’s Abertis to create the world’s biggest toll road operator.

They had first tried to amalgamate in 2006, but this fell through due to government opposition at the time. However there is no indication that any decision will involve significant government participation and it will be down to Abertis and its shareholders to accept or reject the offer which would create a €36 billion company.

Atlantia are offering a combination of cash and shares in what has been described as a friendly approach whilst a spokesman for the Spanish company said

that although in discussion, the bid had not been requested and main shareholder Caixabank in particular will take its time to consider the offer.

A marriage of the two companies is very much to the advantage of Atlantia (owned by the Benetton fashion family) which has seen income from the Italian market slow down so access to the lucrative French, Spanish and Latin American markets would be attractive.

In turn, some of the concessions that Abertis operates in Spain are due to expire, so its shareholders may well consider this a good time to release a cash amount to invest elsewhere and still keep shares in the new company.

FOREIGN BUYERS: Increased numbers point to a bumper 2017 for the Spanish property market.

New heights for British invasion MONEY is flowing into the Spanish property market from sunbound Brits who continue to cemen t t h e i r d o m i n an ce o f th e country’s lucrative foreign buyers market.

In the first quarter of 2017 foreign nationals purchased roughly 15,000 properties across Spain.

That amounts to a 13.1 per cent share of the total market, following on from last year’s average of 17 per cent.

Among the foreign buyers, Brits accounted for 14.5 per cent of purchases, by far the largest national contingent. French buyers secured the second highest share at 9.6 per cent, putting Brits well ahead in front.

The next largest nationalities by share of the market were the Germans on 7.7 per cent, Belgian on 6.9 per cent and Swedes on 6.3 per cent, the latter two with less than half the British share.

The data shows that 2017 is so far following the exciting trends set in 2016 which saw foreign buyers continue to flood into Spain, snapping up properties and helping the market soar to fresh new heights.

This year analysts expect foreign buyers to purchase more than half a million homes in Spain, the vast majority second-hand. That would reflect a remarkable rise from roughly 300,000 in 2013.

Brits are leading that charge and have so far defied the pessimistic expectations surrounding Brexit to embrace Spain even more strongly than ever before.

Across the board property portals have reported increased numbers of Brits expressing serious interest in Spanish property after the vote.

All of which points to a bumper 2017 for the Spanish property market.

A SPANISH property association has warned that an astonishing number of people across the country lack adequat e bui l di ng i nsur ance. Arrenta also believes t hat ar ound f our i n f i ve building insurance contracts are old, with high premiums.

They advise that owner communities across Spain seek out help from impartial insurance brokers who can offer an expert assessment of the true cost of fixing up community pipes or cleaning graffiti.

Analysis from Arrenta also found that the vast majority of property owners in community buildings have no idea what their building insurance coverage includes or how much it really costs.

Arrenta’s findings come amid other surveys which reveal that huge numbers of property owners in Spain do not even have home insurance. A gener al l ack of awareness about the benefits mean that millions of people forego it entirely.

No man or woman is an island LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT ALTHOUGH a lifelong Conservative, I must confess I’m becoming extremely worried about Theresa May. Since calling a general election, she appears to be morphing into some sort of cross between Margaret Thatcher and Donald Trump.

As much as I want to accept her as a strong and able leader of the Conservative party, she appears to be making it more difficult by the day.

Whether her ego is getting the better of her, or she is simply not choosing her words as well as she could, I have no idea, but of late it appears there are two parties involved in her campaign; the Conservatives and Ms May. ‘My manifesto.’ ‘My ideas for the future.’ ‘I’ this and ‘I’ that.

She’s beginning to sound like a modern day chariot straddling Bo-

No man or woman is an island. Unfortunately, many voters vote for their favourite politician. If the voters begin to turn against her personally, she could find the euphoria of her present popularity rating

plunging; with the wheels of her upturned chariot spinning like a pair of whirling dervishes as she finds herself relegated to the opposition of a nightmare coalition party that will bring the whole nation to its knees.

Unfortunately this copy has to be in before we see the May/Corbyn televised debate, so I can’t predict the outcome, but one thing is to me painfully obvious, Theresa May is

The fact that he wants more immigration, a dismantling of our nuclear protection. More benefits to the scroungers, and refuses to condemn terrorist organisations, is

small potatoes compared with whether a whole deluge of somewhat politically dithering voters actually like him or not.

It’s a sad fact that Theresa May needs to put on her ‘kiss me quick’ hat, don a more acceptable frock and be a far more ameniable party guest if she doesn’t want to be short of a seat in the modern day game of political musical chairs.

Are not the pathetic leaders of the European Union acting exactly as we knew they would? Their pouting, childlike attitude to the terms of the UK’s departure, is precisely the reason we need to leave this bunch of spoiled brat, unelected wastes of space to their own pathetic devices. Good riddance to them all.

We’ll survive. When you’re all being over run, don’t think UK members will lean over backward to liberate the whole bunch of you for a third time!

Timely tips to beat your fear of public speaking at weddings etc 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

CONGRATULATIONS! So you’ve been invited to give a speech! This could be as best man, father of the bride or whatever for a wedding (like Pippa Middleton’s recent extravaganza), an anniversary, business event or other special occasion. But public speaking’s a doddle, nothing at all to worry about.

Fortunately, there are ways to make your speech memorable and entertaining at the same time without having to go through a nervous breakdown. You simply have to keep some tips in mind to grab your audience and leave them begging for more.

Use whatever reason you’ve come together for t h e o c c a si o n a s fo d d e r fo r y o u r speech. If it’s a business event, use personal anecdotes about work and colleagues. But best avoid recalling that episode in the mail-

PUBLIC SPEAKING: The best speeches are like the best theatre. room when the lights failed and you stumbled over Buxom Brenda from Human Resources...

can only imagine booze was involved when she re-wrapped it - a half-scoffed box of Black Magic.

Another rule is to stay sociable but NOT sozzled and speak before 11pm. There’s nothing worse than seeing your audience slide off the edge of their seats before you do. At 10pm they’ll be mellow; by 11pm,

totally knackered.

The best speeches are like the best theatre. There’s laughter and there’s pathos (though hopefully not because you’re experiencing that nervous breakdown).

People often think speeches have to be a barrel of laughs, but if there’s one golden rule, it’s the following. Check exactly who’s in the audience - and their specific occupations - before ending with something like this: “Before departing, I’d just like to leave you with this thought. Why is it, all the people who know how to run this country, are too busy driving taxis or cutting hair?”

And one final rule, don’t outstay your welcome, otherwise you’ll be nodding off long before they do. In other words: “Be interesting, be brief and be gone.”

Three things it helps to know about travel insurance WHAT if you went on holiday and fell off a cliff?

We hope it won’t happen (and fortunately the odds say it won’t) but there are plenty of less dramatic situations that are completely unexpected but could ruin your trip.

This is among the most popular times of year to book a holiday. Here’s why it’s worth thinking about getting cover for your trip sooner rather than later, plus some tips to bear in mind.

Why last-minute holiday cover could be a mistake People often think of travel insurance as something that will cover them whilst they are on holiday. But if you get your policy at the same time as you book the holiday, you’ll actually get more cover for your money. This is because you will also be covered if you have to cancel your trip under certain circumstances before you are due to travel. If you had decided to wait until the last minute, you would have missed out on this benefit and could end up losing a lot of money if you had to cancel your holiday.

ANNUAL COVER: A smarter option.

By getting your travel insurance as soon as you book your trip, you will have cover in place immediately.

Why annual cover is often the smarter option Are you planning to take three or more trips in a year? Not many people would take Single Trip cover for every weekend break or for every time they fly to the UK, but an annual policy takes the

hassle out of arranging insurance every time you go away. The cost of annual cover is relatively very favourable compared to Single Trip rates and you’ll benefit from continuous cover for all your travel plans.

Why the USA might not be in the world If you’re taking out insurance for a one-off trip or holiday then it’s likely that you will tailor your policy so that it is adequate for your destination.

However, if you have annual cover and plan various trips throughout the year, then it’s important to make sure that the ‘territorial limits’ on your policy are sufficient.

Territorial definitions within a policy wording can be different from standard geographical definitions. For example, cover for ‘Europe’ often automatically includes some North African countries, so there might be no need to pay extra for Worldwide cover if you’re travelling to Morocco.

Conversely, not all ‘Worldwide’ policies cover the USA and Canada, so it’s worth checking this if you are planning to travel there. Some providers offer two ‘worldwide’ options, one that includes the USA and Canada and one where those countries are excluded.

To make sure you’re getting the maximum possible cover for your money and ensure you have the protection you really need, give Sam, Donna and Fi a call on 952 887 125 or Angela and Shauna on 952 581 561. As your local insurance broker Ibex can find the policy to meet your needs.

Chinese Whispers – Pass it on Marbella Moments

by Nicole King HAVE you ever played Chinese whispers? It’s a simple game, often used at a party to break the ice. It’s also a game we play to some degree on a day-to-day basis whether we realise it or not.

The game entails thinking of a sentence and whispering it into the ear of the person to your right, who then passes it on to the next person and so on. Invariably the sentence then pronounced out loud by the last person in-line has very little, or anything, to do with the original sentence.

Poor audibility, personal inclination, interpretation and intonation are just some simple factors that can easily distort the original message.

“Don’t stop” doesn’t mean the same as “don’t, stop.” Just one comma can pervert the meaning completely don’t stop means keep going but with the comma it means don’t keep going. Daily misunderstandings are

Similarly most of us now know that when you type in capital letters it means YOU’RE INTENTION IS TO SHOUT; if however the person who wrote in capitals is unaware of this, the meaning of the written document bears no intention other than the content; if the reader doesn’t consider the possibility that the person writing is ignorant of this fact, the in-

terpretation of the message will be misunderstood, reading anger into a perfectly innocent message, with its subsequent connotations and consequences.

It’s part of life, something we cannot control, there are simply too many possible misinterpretations of the same truth.

Just last week I wrote an article ‘Make Up or Break Up,’ wanting to highlight how society and industry

have put a burden on our young women to try and look like a non-existent ‘ideal,’ to such a degree that they no longer feel comfortable in their own skins.

But as it turned out, due to random events like the title being too short and amended to suit the space, (not the content of the column) combined with another gentleman adding a caption to the photo based on his personal interpretation of the article,

based again on his own personal experience, the column took a 180º turn and in my opinion, came across as a warning to defenceless men about deceitful women out to entrap them.

I knew this couldn’t have been intentional but I was devastated that the published article couldn’t have been further from my truth - we’d gone from Venus to Mars in just four extra words. I’d been Chinese whispered.

I found solace however in the reminder that communication is an art, that it’s human nature to judge information according to our own perceptions, experiences and beliefs, adding our personal interpretations. Far too often we ‘know’ what other people are thinking and far too often we put words into their mouths. In a city like Marbella with 127 nationalities where most people communicate in a language that is not their own it’s a miracle we manage as well as we do!

Communication is largely reliant on not jumping to conclusions, to giving people the benefit of the doubt and remembering that there are always two ends to a stick before we pass it on.

Alternatively, head to Piedmont’s infamous Barolo where the Fratelli

If you prefer to engage in the age old battle of whether its Burgundy or Bordeaux, head for Chateaux D’Agasacc, or Domaine de la Romanée Conti, France.

But note that many vineyards rarely allow visits and tastings without reservations.

Check in advance to avoid missing out on the elegant pinot noirs and characterful

chardonnays.

Whether it’s Cava in Catalonia or Port in Porto, experience the delights of local wineries whilst staying safe and remembering to buy Travel Insurance. It is not a lifestyle choice: it’s a must. Like it or not, as we get older, we’re less resilient when travelling away from home. Minor ailments that you usually shrug off may easily turn into health headaches when travelling. Decent travel insurance shields us from the holiday disasters that happen to ‘someone else.’ Insurance is a small price to pay for peace of mind - especially if that ‘someone else’ turns out to be you!

Finally, given all this talk about wine: always drink responsibly. Injury or accident as a result of excessive alcohol will not be covered by your travel insurance!

Anyway, only time will tell Mike Senker

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I’M going to start today with my least favourite TV reality show host/POTUS - Donny Trump. I just came back from a week’s holiday, which happened to be a cruise, and on the ship there were lots of Americans.

I didn’t speak to them all, but the ones I did chat with, after the pleasantries, got asked the question, “What do you think about your new President?” And not one of them had anything positive to say about him. In fact their views were quite the opposite and they are all terrified. Now these folks were of all ages and from varied parts of the USA, so it begs the question who did vote for Trump?

Obviously a lot of people did because he is POTUS, but this week he has said one of the dumbest things so far. He thinks that he has been treated worse than any President before him. Err; let’s consider that for a moment.

I can think of two others that have had worst treatment - Abe Lincoln and JFK. I mean JFK had his brains blown out and he was a very popular man. What is interesting is watching Fox News, as opposed to all other US news channels, as they are so biased to-

wards him and then there is CNN which is so anti. It is also amusing how the defenders of Trump come up with absolute tosh in his defence. His White House press guy Spicer is just permanently treading water. Anyway time will tell.

For the second time in a few weeks there has been a scream up about a TV advert. The one in question is for McDonald’s. It tried to deal with childhood bereavement and they decided, in their infinite wisdom that by telling the kid that his dad loved fillet o’ fish as well was somehow going to cheer him up. Who on earth thought up this idea? Even worse, who passed it? How did it ever get to be screened?

Why would any major company want to exploit child bereavement by trivialising it to this level of a fillet o’ fish? I’m not saying it’s offensive or disgusting, I’m just saying it’s bad taste and not a clever marketing decision.

Or is it?

It might be just the cynical me thinking that this could be a case that some of these companies now think if they can get people talking about their product in every paper and on every news station, for whatever reason, they could be reaching millions more people.

Some of the articles I have read on this ask what’s wrong with it and others, like me, think it’s a bad way to advertise .What do you think? Email me mikesenker@gmail.com.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Urgent meeting to address drink and drug offenders AS part of a new series, we answer some common driving questions, kindly provided by members of the Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.

CYCLE ROUTES: An urgent review.

AFTER a third cyclist died as a result of injuries sustained when a driver under the influence of drink and drugs ploughed into a group of cyclists, the Director General of the DGT has announced an urgent review to further increase measures made available to prevent such incidents.

Gregorio Serrano said they need to clamp down on habitual drink and drugged drivers following the accident in Xabia, Alicante Province, which injured several cyclists, after it was revealed that the woman driving the car had previously lost her licence four years ago for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. It was also found that the driver had also failed to take the mandatory course required to revalidate the licence.

Serrano has called for an urgent meeting with the Road Safety Committee which will

address ‘the growing problem of fatal accidents of cyclists’ and will detail the measures the DGT would like to implement.

Serrano has said that reforming the Penal Code is not within the competence of the DGT but they can ensure that the tools to act against offenders are made available.

Serrano added: “The number of cyclists that die every weekend on our roads is unbearable and we are not prepared for anyone to be in fear of not returning home alive.” The Strategic Plan for Bicycles has already begun to be drawn up and a working group has been convened to prepare it. The Director General of the DGT said investment in cycle routes and their expansion and maintenance must continue, but ultimately there is an individual responsibility of all road users to ensure their compliance with the rules and laws of the roads.

Can she reclaim plus valia tax?

I have recently sold a small apartment. Despite selling at a considerable loss, the Mijas Town Hall informs me that I must pay €1,700 ‘plus valia’ tax. I believe that the Supreme Court in Madrid recently ruled the ‘plus valia’ illegal when there has been a clear loss of value.

Yes, the Spanish Supreme Court first ruled the plus valia tax unconstitutional in the Basque Country and now has ruled against it for all of Spain. This is the good news. The bad news is that

I am advised that it is not worth the trouble to oppose the town hall as I would have to pay all legal fees up front and the process could take several years. Is it possible to take a group action against Mijas Town Hall if I could involve some other vendors?

M W (Costa Del Sol)

David Searl You and the Law in Spain

the law itself is still in place. This means you must pay the tax and then

reclaim it from the town hall. You can start this rectification process without a lawyer. And, no, the class action suit has no advantage because each tax case must be handled separately.

What will the UK General Election mean for the Pound?

THERESA MAY took everyone by surprise when she announced a UK General Election for June 8. The currency markets responded positively to the news and the Pound strengthened against the Euro following the news. However, the currency remains vulnerable to both political and economic developments.

Why did the Pound rise?

Surprise announcements such as this would usually be expected to weaken a currency, but the Pound strengthened by around 1 per cent following the announcement. This may be due to expectations that the General Election could result in a larger majority for the Conservatives.

Theresa May currently has a majority of 17 but opinion polls suggest she has the potential to increase this, which some claim could strengthen

her hand in Brexit negotiations.

Holding the election now might also strengthen May’s position in the final phases of Brexit negotiations.

Previously, the General Election was due to be held in 2020, shortly after the scheduled conclusion of talks.

This meant there was the potential for EU leaders to use an impending election to put pressure on May. Bringing the election forward could avoid this.

May does not achieve the majority she is hoping for, this could weaken the Pound against the Euro and other major currencies.

What is likely to happen next?

Based on the reaction to the General Election announcement and the local election results, it is possible that an increased Conservative majority could give a boost to the Pound. However, the decision to hold an election is not without risk. If opinion polls suggest a narrowing of the Conservative lead, or if Theresa

Elections also have a tendency to cause uncertainty in the markets.

This could cause some short term fluctuations in the currency markets in the run up to the election, potentially weakening or strengthening the Pound.

Neglecting someone now could store up a lot of problems for the future.

Avoid doing anything that could lead to you being blamed later.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Now is your chance to go straight for what you want. The shock of having this opportunity could cause you to hesitate. Do bear in mind, though, that he who hesitates is often lost. The temptation to keep something for yourself is not selfish but sensible.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) A big change means big chances, so don’t let small things get you down. In the past six months you have come a long way. You are not back where you started. You are being given the chance to start again, but this time you have far more experience.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Challenges that do not please you are inevitable. That does not mean that your attitude towards them could not change. Indeed, unless you want to continue to be upset, it must. Luckily, you have mostly had your own way recently.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) You have a chance to give someone great delight, so why not go ahead?

Your insecure side tells you that it is too good to be true and there must be a catch. Why should there be? This is a situation that you may relax into as only you know how.

PISCES (Febraury 20 - March 20) Don’t look for spooks in the closet when there are none. Not only does it look silly but it wastes good time.

Basing your actions on past disappointments can only lead to more of the same. Show confidence in others and they will show it in you.

Sometimes, your patience wears thin but it is in your best interests to remain calm.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Is someone that you are closely involved with trying to drive a hard bargain? Are you surprised at the amount of time and energy that they are throwing at it? It could be that they are more passionate about it than you realised.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) You have been learning about certain people very fast. Do you feel as though you are in the middle of a soap opera?

With the summer sun now high, it is possible that passions will fire up.

Everything seems to revolve round one person and it is upsetting everything else.

Alfred Hitchcock’s leading ladies TOP 10 ALFRED HITCHCOCK was one of the greatest directors of the 20th century and became known as ‘the master of suspense.’ He made a string of thrillers that had audiences hooked by the tense storylines, settings, atmospheric soundtrack and leading ladies. His films explored characters with serious psychological problems but the most common feature of his films were his glamorous, icecool and intelligent female protagonists.

1. Joan Fontaine Joan starred in her first Hitchcock film, Rebecca, which was his first American psychological thriller. The screenplay was based on Daphne du Maurier’s 1938 gothic novel by the same name.

Her next film was Suspicion, for which she won an Oscar and was the only actress ever that featured in his films to win an Academy Award.

By Adam Mitzner Ella Broden leads a double life as an attorney in the city, where she deals with some harrowing cases and at night she sings in Manhattan’s darkest clubs. Her sister Charlotte doesn’t know about her passion for singing, but when she announces that she’s sold her first novel, it’s clear that Ella isn’t the only one in the family that’s keeping a secret.

Ella is happy for her until it’s discovered that she’s missing. Ella teams up with Detective Gabriel Velaquez, an old flame from the NYPD to investigate. She is shocked as she finds details of her sister’s real life in the novel and anyone could be involved in her disappearance. Ella studies the novel’s characters, hoping it will lead to her discovering who is responsible for the disappearance. books@euroweeklynews.com

2. Ingrid Bergman Ingrid Bergman was one of Hitchcock’s favourites, who starred in his films, Spellbound, Notorious and Under Capricorn. Although she was never nominated for an Oscar, her role in Notorious is ranked as one of the best in her career. At the end of the 1940s, she left Hitchcock to be directed in Italian films by her husband, Roberto Rossellini. She remained friends with Hitchcock though and is known for calling him “an adorable genius.”

3. Grace Kelly Grace Kelly starred in three Hitchcock films, including Dial M for Murder, Rear Window and To Catch a Thief. She was one of the most elegant of his actresses, who toned down the icy

Thirty Nine Steps and Secret Agent. Madeleine set the standard of the cool, aloof, sexy and stylish female protagonist, that he was known for being partial to. After retiring from acting, she spent time in Paris and finally settled in Spain.

8. Doris Day Doris Day starred in the film, The Man Who Knew Too Much, an international espionage thriller, which was filmed in Marrakesh. The film debuted the song, Que Sera Sera. She found working with Hitchcock challenging, feeling that he never gave her direction, but her hairdresser reassured her that this meant she was doing ok. In her biography, she added that he was “wonderful, a great director and a good friend. I loved working with him.”

VERTIGO: Kim Novak with Alfred Hitchcock. blonde approach for a warm and vivacious character. She had a short acting career, as she went on to be the Princess of Monaco.

4. Kim Novak Kim Novak was a screen siren of the 50’s and 60’s but received bad reviews for her performance in Vertigo. These days, the film is regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. Kim has always defended Hitchcock and his reputation over the years, expressing the view that she never found him controlling at all.

5. Eva Marie Saint Eva Marie Saint starred in the film, North by Northwest, but before filming began, MGM wanted Cyd Charisse for the role, but Hitchcock got his own way, insisting that she was perfect for the role. She called him her ‘Sugar Daddy,’ because he took her to Bergdorf Goodman, New

Boggled

York and bought a whole new wardrobe for the film. Eva admired the man saying, “He would whisper wonderful intimate direction in your ear.”

9. Janet Leigh Janet Leigh’s role in Psycho, made her one of the most famous leading ladies, even though she only appeared in the first part of the movie. The film is always remembered for the shower scene and the soundtrack that accompanies it. While working with Hitchcock, she said that their relationship was strictly a professional one.

6. Marlene Dietrich Marlene Dietrich was a German-born American actress and singer who played the part of a showgirl in Hitchcock’s Stagefright, a film that shows he could do comedy. He was happy with Marlene as the femme fatale and called her ‘a professional star.’ However, Marlene felt differently, and expressed how she found him quite intimidating.

10. Tippi Hedren Tippi Hedren was the last of his leading ladies and starred in The Birds and Marnie. Her famous daughter is Melanie Griffith who was married to Antonio Banderas and she has a granddaughter, Dakota Johnson, who recently starred in the film, Fifty Shades of Grey. Her relationship with Hitchcock is well-known for being the kind where he may have took his obsession with the leading lady a bit too far.

YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE - YOUR OPINION

Letters for Your Say should be emailed to yoursay@euroweeklynews.com or make your comments straight on our website: www.euroweeklynews.com

Looking for clarification SIR, I wonder if there could be some clarification regarding the piece on ‘Time for the Spanish tax returns’ of the 18-24 May edition. Having been tax residents for some years now and having had to pay income tax every year on our only income of our state pensions, we took your page to our accountant on Friday evening when completing this year’s return, and asked why we always pay tax.

He informed us that the €22,000 quoted is for Spanish residents only who earn from a maximum of two jobs. All foreigners are only allowed to earn €11,200 before they have to pay tax.

Were we still in the UK neither of

us would pay tax as our old age pensions do not equate to the level for payment of income tax.

Several of our neighbours here in the Murcia region either don’t bother or are also paying tax.

Could your Finance writer please rewrite the section with the correct details, unless it is relevant to the Valencia Region and not Murcia, in which case could that also be put in writing to save further querying of our accountants.

Yours faithfully and a regular reader, Richard Prowse Cartagena Dear Richard, Thank you for your enquiry. As we

said in the piece, Spanish taxation is particularly complicated and this was just a brief indication of what was required. Everything that we have seen suggests that those treated as Spanish residents only need to complete a tax form if they earn above €22,000 and that the €11,200 refers to Spanish residents who have two jobs.

If you own a property then there is also a need to complete a tax return.

You obviously followed the advice received from your local accountant but in the meantime and in time for next week’s publication, we will make further investigations into the situation.

Regards, John Smith

Photographs for possible publication should be sent by email with a full caption to: photonews@euroweeklynews.com

Dear Loopy Lee, Whilst I understand you are attempting to garner attention through Katie Hopkins-esque means, I’m afraid your mantra of ‘Leapy Lee says it others think it’ only reveals the flaw in the claims you make in your latest article, ‘They honestly haven’t got a clue.’

You see, I am the girl on the left in the photo used to accompany your article, captioned ‘YOUNG ADULTS: They simply haven’t been around long enough’ and I’m writing (age 17) to say that you haven’t been around young people long enough if you hold such generalised and ignorant views.

By the time one reaches the age of 16 in the UK, one will have received a secondary education with a curriculum shaped by our very own government. If this education is insufficient in helping them form informed views and gain understanding of our nation’s history then that is a failing of education, not young people. Furthermore, should this problem exist, it isn’t magically resolved by age 21, the voting age you suggest.

Malaga Airport changes In what commercial airport, anywhere in the world, is it possible to meet and greet a passenger and get them out of the airport in less than 15 minutes? This is just another stealth tax on the ordinary people.

It often takes me over an hour to locate my visitors and get them gathered up before I can leave the airport.

If you try parking outside the airport and wait for a phone-call from your visitors then drive up to the airport to whisk them off, you'll find it impossible to find a waiting area within a kilometre of the set down area. I have tried several times.

Allan Cameron At least they do not have to pay £3.50 for 10 minutes to drop off at Stansted. Then it goes up to £01.00 for each minute over your allotted 10 minutes up to £25, didn't read any further. Suffice it to say it is very expensive to take a car on or near Stansted.

A very dangerous man indeed (Leapy) Hi Lee Still vivid in my mind is seeing him on TV in Parliament... Virtually saying Sadam Hussan could deliver a nuclear device to the UK within 20 minutes !!! As he had weapons of mass destruction.

That has got to be the most blatant lie ever spoken in Parliament and has cost thousands of lives since !!!!

Then he is made UK Ambassador to the Middle East. (Unbelievable) But you can bet lurking in sidelines will be another just like him... Ready to latch on to any Blair success. Mandelson will be right behind him somewhere : The Terrible Twins !!!

IN PROTEST: At a referendum run on lies. make an informed decision is given access to the democracy which guides our country. If young people are, as you point out, able to choose to die for their country, then it is simply insulting to deem them ‘too inexperienced’ to make a choice.

Our lives are impacted greatly by the government in power. Our education is determined by them.

How much it costs for us to attend university is determined by them.

Our healthcare faces cuts or funding depending on who is elected.

Our freedom to live and work where we want in exchange for membership fees is determined by referenda they hold. With so much at stake, it is clear that young peo-

COMMENTS from EWN Online

ple would have every incentive to make an informed vote that best met our interests.

You attempt to silence the voice of young people to advance your conservative agenda because we are naive and will feel that the ‘left are the answer,’ but my agenda is less partisan. I simply believe that it is important that we have a true and fair democracy.

That is why myself and my friends took to the streets: to protest a referendum that was run on lies (£350 million to the NHS, anyone?) and was, as another of our signs said: ‘Not In Our Name.’

THE Chief Minister has indicated it is the intention of the government to fly the Commonwealth flag at the border following Brexit. This will replace the European Union flag which currently flies alongside the Union flag and that of Gibraltar and will act as a statement of a continued close relationship with the UK and the Commonwealth.

THE Spanish Foreign Minister Alfonso Dastis has stated in an interview that Gibraltar should not play an important part in Brexit negotiations. He appeared to be responding to comments made by Gibraltar Minister Bossano who at the United Nations suggested Spain was acting as a potential colonist. Dastis now says he wants to ensure shared prosperity and joint sovereignty.

Worrying perception of obesity

OVERWEIGHT: Many Spanish do not recognise they have a problem.

AS the number of those classed as obese is on the increase, perhaps even more worrying is the Spanish population’s perception of obesity.

A survey presented by the Spanish Society for the Study of Obesity (Seedo) said that 82.2 per cent of those who are obese do not recognise they have a problem and up to 12 per cent of them think they have a ‘normal weight.’

President of Seedo, Francisco Tinahones, warned this is “tremendously worrying” with obesity now affecting more than 20 per cent of society, twice as much as 25 years ago.

With obesity being linked to other diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and osteoarthritis, he pointed out the importance of “identifying the problem” so that measures can be taken to alleviate it.

“It is important to change the perception, to see that this is a problem and address it as a disease,” said Tinahones.

A BABY born in India has become the smallest ever to have successful heart surgery.

It is reported that the baby boy was born at just 28 weeks weighing just over one pound.

He suffered from a condition where the two major blood vessels of the heart are connected called Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) which left him struggling to breathe.

As he failed to respond to medication, surgery was the only option, being performed in an intensive care unit with miniaturised equipment as he was too fragile to be moved.

His eyes, lungs and skin were also not fully developed leaving even doctors unable to touch his tiny body, but despite the odds, he survived.

According to experts during the summer more hair is needed to help protect the scalp against sunburn, but as the we a t h e r b e g i n s to cool the hair sheds naturally in larger amounts than normal as it is no longer needed.

So w h a t c a n y o u do to help prevent it? Very little it seems and unless you regularly lo se m o r e t h a n 1 0 0 hairs a day there is nothing to worry about.

Crash dieting and stress can also increase hair loss.

Children suffering BEING overweight, a poor diet and lack of exercise are all causing an increase in cases of hypertension in Spain, but not just in adults.

Figures from the Spanish Association of Paediatrics show that five out of every 100 children now have blood pressure higher than it should be for their age. Although less than one in 100 have medically significant hypertension, if the situation continues in youngsters it significantly increases their risk of heart failure or stroke in adult life. Long-term, it can also cause damage to the kidneys, eyes and other organs.

The figures were released to mark World Hypertension Day where the Cardiology Department of the Hospital of Sant Joan, Alicante, warned of the increase of cases of high tension in all ages.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a chronic problem that often doesn’t show clear symptoms so can go undetected.

Diabetes and feet

By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com DIABETES is a complex condition with far reaching side effects.

Nutrition and medication will always be the key factors but there are other things to think about.

In the UK there are 135 foot amputations EVERY WEEK related to diabetes, that’s over 20 every day!

But four out of five of these could be prevented with good foot care.

Daily Feet Make footcare a part of your daily routine, just like checking your blood glu-

cose levels.

Eighty per cent of amputations are due to foot ulcers which aren’t noticed and left untreated.

Look for any signs of redness, pain, build-up of hard skin or changes in the shape of your feet (see our website for a full guide).

Use a mirror to look underneath the foot.

Have you got that feeling?

Use the ‘Touch the Toes’ test (video on our blog) to check for loss of feeling.

This is important as loss of feeling means you may hurt your feet and not realise.

Circulation Poor circulation means any injuries or infection in the feet will take longer to

heal.

Regular walks can help keep blood pumping and prevent pooling and bruising at the feet and ankles.

Avoid socks with wrinkles or prominent seams, elastic tops (restrict circulation) or darned areas / holes.

Pedicure?

Professional foot care is important, try to see a podiatrist or chiropodist regularly. And make sure that any pedicurist is extra squeaky clean and sterile.

Keeping your toenails trimmed and filed with no sharp edges is important.

Never use corn removing plasters or blades as it is too easy to damage the skin and cause an infection.

Wash your feet daily taking care to dry between the toes.

Use moisturising cream daily.

Socks

If the shoe fits . . . .

Shoe fit is very important - any blister from your shoe or sandal rubbing on your foot could lead to infection. So take your time shopping.

Good support is also very important for maintaining good blood supply to the feet and toes.

It also helps to maintain nerve health reducing peripheral neuropathy.

You may find a soft, specially designed insole or orthotic the simplest thing as you can then slip them in whichever shoes you are wearing.

For more information on what to look for and the Touch the Toes test please check out our website www.TheBodyworksClinic.com, our Facebook page, Bodyworks Health Clinic or call us on 952 883 151

HOLIDAY TIME: Important to be physically active.

Stay active on holiday IT’S not the news those of us who look forward to having two weeks off doing nothing, wanted to hear, but a study claims that a twoweek holiday can increase the risk of chronic diseases and even premature death.

Whilst it has long been thought that two weeks of relaxing on the beach in the sunshine is good for our well-being, releasing stress and anxiety, a new study by the University of Liverpool claims that this time lounging around affects muscle mass and produces metabolic changes that drastically affect your heart health.

Their study included 28

healthy, physically active people with an average age of 25. They wore an armband to measure their physical activity and completed a dietary journal with assessments at the start of the study and after a 14-day ‘holiday’ where participants reduced normal activity by around 80 per cent, equating to a drop in exercising from 161 minutes a day to just 36 minutes, with time sitting around doing nothing increasing.

Even in this short space of time, after the 14-day period of inactivity the researchers observed noticeable changes in body composition.

Booked to appear at the concert are the Silver Beats (also appearing at La Sala Gibraltar next Saturday) who will be performing the Star Club Classics, a collection of songs the Beatles played during their residency in Hamburg.

Mel Williams who worked with the Beatles will be presenting a number of their songs in the style of the late Joe Cocker who is remembered for his interpretation of a number of Beatles’ songs.

Neil Tudor from Liverpool looks and sounds so much like Sir Paul McCartney that he was chosen by the former Beatle to act as his stand in and body double on three different occasions. He will be performing his solo set in Mijas.

A concert to remember SOME 300 lovers of music arrived at the Church of Our Lady of the Incarnation in Marbella to attend a free classical concert last Tuesday.

Performed by the Collegium Musicum’s Orchestra and Choir, joined by the Camerata Singers of Sotogrande, with soloists Siân Winstanley (Soprano) and Juan Carlos Mera-Euler (Bass), under the direction of Annemarie Philipps, the concert was an undoubted success.

Princess Marie Louis of Prussia, president of Concordia the HIV/AIDS charity based in San Pedro Alcantara explained the work that the charity undertakes and members of the audience

were invited to make donations as they left the concert.

All of the pieces chosen found favour with the knowledgeable audience who enjoyed Psalm 42 adapted by Felix Mendelssohn.

Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance was the orchestral piece played, although some in the audience were ready to start singing Land of Hope Glory which is always played on the Last Night of the Proms with words by A C Benson set to Elgar ’s memorable music.

With 90 voices and 45 musicians, plus two very talented solo singers, the church was a very suitable location for the performance

of a number of pieces from Mendelssohn’s story of Elijah who in the Old Testament fought against false idols.

This was a highly professional performance of some exquisite music which filled the church with a sublime sound appreciated by all who not only enjoyed the evening but knew that they were helping to raise funds for a worthwhile charity.

All involved in presenting this performance - which will be repeated in Sotogrande at 8pm in the Church of Our Lady of Mercy next Sunday with an admission price of €10 - are to be congratulated on their exceptional performances.

GOOD FOOD, GOOD WINE AND GOOD FRIENDS WITH

GARRY WAITE

O

NE OF THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY’S ICONS has passed away at the relevantly young age of 75 from a stroke.

Roy Ackerman was indeed a giant of our industry. A bon viveur, the original ‘foodie’ who liked nothing better than a great meal, a fine bottle of wine, a good cigar and someone decent to share it with. Over the years he accumulated a mass of friends, fans and followers.

He was born in Bristol in 1942. He first started as an apprentice chef, a title he used for a TV programme he later made. His hard work and enthusiasm culminated in the opening of his first restaurant Quincy’s Bistro in Oxford in 1975 which is where I first met him.

Even in those days you could see the man was determined to leave his mark on an industry that he loved so much.

He joined forces with the late Michael

Golder and between them they forged a formidable restaurant chain - Kennedy Brookes - which went on to operate 130 restaurants and hotels.

Following the sale of Kennedy Brookes, Ackerman went on to be appointed as chairman in myriad restaurant company and consultancy groups including Simpsons of Cornhill, 190 Queen’s Gate, the Restaurant Partnership, the Restaurant Factory and, more latterly, Tadema Studios.

His involvement with these businesses resulted in the opening of a plethora of restaurants and concepts in London, among them Bistro Bistrot at the Montague and Bailey’s hotels and Refettorio at the Crowne Plaza City, as well as breathing new life into such lauded venues as Elena’s L’Etoile, the Gay Hussar and the White Tower.

Ackerman was also something of a Renaissance man, exploring various aspects of the arts, but always with a connection to hospitality. As well as producing a series of highly respected restaurant guides, he launched CoolCucumber TV, an early online food magazine programme. More recently he

TRIPADVISOR IS BACK IN THE NEWS, does it ever go away? This time because, a venue has complained about a review posted by a disgruntle customer. High Rocks, a restaurant and wedding venue in Tunbridge Wells in Kent, has hit back after a visitor left a one-star review on the travel site.

A Sarah Gardner visited the restaurant in March and apparently had a less-than satisfactory experience. She decided to share her opinion about what she felt was ‘mediocre’ food and ‘rude’ staff by writing a review.

Within a week, Sarah received a letter from London law firm Cohen Davis Solicitors instructing her to remove the post which they deemed as defamatory and therefore against the law. The letter claimed that High Rocks had caused “financial harm worth tens of thousands of pounds” and the firm intended to prepare a High Court claim against the lady in question.

The law firm, which is owned by Yair Cohen, provided a statement which says that Sarah Gardner had falsely claimed, in three separate TripAdvisor reviews, to have attended their clients’ establishment in March 2017 when, on her own admission, apparently she had not.

They claimed that, because of that, her reviews could not be described as a fair and accurate review of her experience or an honestly held opinion. Ms Gardner’s false reviews came about because she was banned from booking our client’s establishment having been extremely rude and offensive to staff over the telephone. Ms Gardner also claimed to have recorded a telephone conversation with the owner and his wife

headed up Ackerman Studios, an art consultancy which partnered emerging artists with restaurants and hotels, such as the Dorchester Collection’s 45 Park Lane, to provide them valuable gallery space.

One of Ackerman’s most significant successes came in 1987, when the Licensing (Restaurant Meals) Act came into force. As chairman of the Restaurateurs’ Association of Great Britain (RAGB), he spear-headed the campaign to reform the archaic licensing regulations of the time and even led a march of 200 RAGB members on Downing Street, two years earlier. The new law enabled alcohol to be served with restaurant meals in the afternoon for the first time, transforming the sector by boosting business and profits.

Ackerman was involved in many other organisations. He was chairman of the Hotel and Catering Training Board and held numerous honorary positions, including president of the Academy of Food and Wine Service, chairman of the governors of the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts and chancellor of the Wine Guild of the United Kingdom.

DON’T CRY OVER SPILLED MILK. BY THIS TIME TOMORROW, IT’LL BE FREE YOGHURT. Stephen Colbert The late power house that was Roy Ackerman, holding his Industry Award.

Among some of the accolades bestowed on Ackerman throughout his long and illustrious career was an OBE presented to him in 1990 for his work on promoting tourism and training which was followed by the CBE, given for his services to gastronomy in 2004.

Ultimately, Ackerman will be remembered for the kindness and support he showed so many people throughout the industry and his love of life. Hundreds of individuals over the years will have benefited from his willingness to help them in furthering their business ambitions - he would frequently work on a no-fee basis in order to support aspiring young chefs and restaurateurs on setting up their businesses on a confidential basis, as well as supporting community projects and charities.

He leaves behind his wife Sally and their children. Cheers Roy, you gave us a lot, now enjoy the rest!

The High Rocks Restaurant and Banqueting Suites. Idyllic or Imperfect? but, when pressed to provide a copy of the recording was unwilling or unable to do so. Her false reviews were noted by many potential clients of event restaurant business and were therefore damaging the venue’s reputation.

In response to the claims, Ms Gardner claimed that she was never ‘banned’ from the establishment and that she was neither offensive, nor loud. It was claimed that she had never visited the establishment, despite her providing proof that she had, consisting of emails, bank statements and photographs, while the venue and their lawyers provided nothing.

She claims that “Mr Cohen is banking on me not contesting the lies, I am unfortunately in this position

SOCIAL SCENE

because of my honesty and unwillingness to continue to be bullied” Her review has since been removed from the TripAdvisor website. “The reviews were removed due to bullying, not for any other reason,” continued Sarah Gardner.

This is not the first time that the High Rocks has been involved in legal action after complaints from clients. Also a look at their TripAdvisor reviews show that of 130 reviews, 84 were excellent (64 per cent) but reading through the comments 10 were average, seven were poor and five were terrible. The poor and terrible reviews did claim that service, attitude and poor staff and food were the main grievances.

Long may the rows continue!

YOU MAY HAVE SEEN McDonalds TV add which depicts a mother and her son discussing ‘his Dad’ in the past tense. How he liked this and that and football etc It turns out that the boy had little in common with his late dad, until he arrived with his mother at a McDonald’s when it transpired that the boy enjoys a Filet-oFish in just the same way that his father did. “That was your dad’s favourite too,” the mother tells her son in the advert ‘getting tartare sauce over his chin!’

Personally I found the ad quite poignant and it was handled well and whatever one’s opinion of McDonalds and their food the basis of the ad was to show that memories are good and can be shared with the family.

Would you believe that the company has been made to withdraw the advert?

The company initially said that it had no plans to pull the advert. However, as the number of complaints on social media and among bereavement charities grew, McDonald’s announced that the advert would be removed and apologised for the upset it had caused.

A spokesperson for McDonald’s said: “It was never our intention to cause any upset. We are particularly sorry that the advert may have disappointed those people who are most important to us – our customers. The last advert was broadcast on Wednesday 17 May. “We will also review our creative process to ensure this situation never occurs again.”

The Advertising Standards Authority, which received more than 100 complaints, said it would be looking at the advert to assess whether to take the matter further.

Someone out there should get a life!!

ON THAT NOTE I will bid you farewell until next week and should aspiring restaurateurs need some help or advice, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Feng shui feels good FENG SHUI has been around for centuries and originates from the East where everyday lives are predominantly ruled by harmony and superstition.

The philosophy is that a home should be inviting, allowing a path for free flowing energy to move around the space that’s available.

A house should be free of clutter and contain only things we love. There should be an abundance of good quality air and light, including open windows and air-purifying plants.

The first aspect visitors will encounter is the entrance, but if this area looks as if it’s uncared for, then it only makes sense that people will be a bit hesitant about entering the home.

Our homes are a reflection of our lives and if presented and arranged correctly, you may get visitors and maybe encourage good energy in all aspects of your life.

HEAT STROKE: If your dog starts to pant, stop and give water.

David THE Dogman

DURING the summer months responsible dog owners must take vital precautions to protect their pets from the season’s many hazards.

Dogs have inefficient cooling systems compared to humans. With sweat glands in its tongue and paw pads, a dog primarily sweats by panting. If something such as a muzzle or a respiratory blockage interferes with its ability to pant, a dog may overheat quickly.

A high temperature of more than 104 degrees Fahrenheit can produce rapid panting, bright red gums, tongue and other mucus membranes, vomiting, watery and bloody diarrhoea and staggering. Thick saliva is also a sign of impending heat stroke. If a dog is not treated immediately it is possible that coma, respira-

tory collapse and death can ensue.

If your dog shows any signs of heat stroke, cool it off by submerging the dog in tepid water and immediately take it to your vet. Cooling a dog that is in shock too fast can cause further problems, and it can actually go hypothermic, which is too low in temperature.

Using ice water to cool your dog may actually prove to be a detriment, it can cause a narrowing of the arteries to the skin, and thus the animal will retain the heat longer. It is also a good idea to make a breeze like a fan, blowing towards the animal; this will allow gradual cooling.

Overheating can occur at any time when a dog is subjected to hot temperatures, humidity and exercise. I do not recommend leaving dogs in cars even with the windows down and certainly never to allow them to travel with their heads out of the car windows.

If ever you see a dog in a car unattended for more than five minutes call the police, the owners will be fined. It is advisable to carry water in the car, keep the water in the boot of the car and out of the sun; dogs do not drink warm or hot water.

Pay attention to exercise if

your dog starts to pant, stop and give water. Sand on the beaches will burn his paws; the pavements can fry an egg, and will also burn your pet’s paws. If you are off for the day to the mountain areas pay special attention if the dog has never been above sea level. Some owners condition themselves with a run around the block and expect their dog to run, this is unwise. Never allow your dog to run behind a car, one day he will run behind another and you will either loose him or he will be killed by other cars.

Exercising young or small dogs needs special attention.

One must realise that small dogs take 10 steps to our one, young dogs under 18 months need most of their energy for growing! Dogs in kennels need plenty of shade and water and it is a good idea to hose down your dogs a couple of times every day with the hose, not on the head or ears.

Finally a lot of thought should go into grooming and clipping your pet. Many owners think it better to clip their pets short in hot weather. I recommend that dogs are not clipped too short otherwise their skins will burn.

Dog’s coats are for protection against cold weather and the sun.

Meet Hudson, the friendly lab AS a regular reader of this column you may have noticed that the pets we feature are simply beautiful, though it has to be said that each week I face the extremely tough task of choosing just one pet to bring to your attention.

Active days out with dogs DOGS give so much love to their owners and most are regarded as a family member, adopting the same lifestyle.

Most owners take their dogs out on their usual walking routine, but once in a while it would be interesting for them to try other outdoor activities. Dogs do have memories and giving them a different experience outdoors would keep them physically and mentally stimulated.

There are a few interesting and challenging options, which include hiking trails or dogfriendly parks.

Swimming is another good form of exercise for dogs and the chlorine in pools are not a problem for them either.

The sea is possibly more challenging, as it’s

unpredictable and the dog might not be as safe.

Playing fetch on the beach with all that fresh air is invigorating for dog and owner.

If you’re a fitness junkie that goes jogging every day, you could take the dog with you, so get a hands-free running leash to have round your waist.

Including the dog on family camping trips can be fun, especially if the dog gets their own tent to sleep in.

The important thing to remember is to take a basic first-aid kit and a plentiful supply of water, when out and about in the great outdoors.

It’s also important to be aware of your dog’s level of fitness and not to give them too much of a challenge.

Apple & Android revolution

By Matthew Elliott THE great arc of world motor shows has taken in Paris, Geneva and New York. Last weekend the flashiest, most unusual cars in the industry were in Britain for the London Motor Show which ran from

BMW CLUBMAN: Next to embrace Apple CarPlay technology.

May 4 to 7.

It was the second edition of the show, a rapidly emerging alternative to the British Motor Show. As in 2016, this year it was once again held in Battersea Park.

There were motoring celebrities, including Stig

Ben Collins and Jodie Kidd, car safety demonstrations, virtual reality driving experiences, a wild range of supercars and even the new electric London Black Cab. The Lamborghini Aventador S made its British debut, bringing a V12 engine and incredible 740hp to stunned fans. At the other end of the size scale there was the classic Mini remastered by David Brown and now

confusingly known as the ‘new-old Mini.’

Other British debuts included the Alpina B4 S, the Kahn Vengeance Volante, and the MG XS, considered the English manufacturer ’s strongest foray on to the world stage yet.

Among the wilder entrants was the concept hypercar the Aston Martin Valkyrie which is forged from a one-off partnership with Red Bull Racing. It is the latest of the brand’s V cars but that’s about all anyone knows except that it’s sure to be extremely sleek and fast.

Also making waves, and for very real reasons, was the Jaguar F-Pace, recently declared the World Car of the Year. Crowds also waved a fond farewell to an army of TX4 London Black Cabs which will soon be in the vintage section of future road shows as they prepare to be replaced.

Vending machine LUXURY cars are being dispensed to wealthy buyers from a gigantic ‘vehicle vending machine’ in Singapore. The country is notoriously short on space and flush with skyscrapers and rich Chinese businessmen, making the vertical vending machine a natural idea.

The car showroom from Autobahn Motors stands 15 stories tall and has a stellar variety of Ferraris, Mercedes and Bentleys stashed in 60 slots, four on each floor. Buyers on the ground floor have a touchscreen menu and can simply press a button to have the car of their choice descend on a lift for viewing.

The innovative idea looks set to take over showrooms in places like Singapore, Shanghai, Toyko and Dubai where space is in short supply, but there is a huge appetite for luxury cars and a personal consumer touch.

La Posada tour to the Algarve LA POSADA BC went on tour to Portugal’s Algarve region in the first week of May. Staying in Praia da Rocha, near Portimao, the group played four matches against local clubs.

The first was at Tavira BC, a grass green, which the team is not used to and, inevitably, they lost on all six rinks. The second match was at Alvor BC, again a grass green. The third match was played at Valverde BC in Almancil.

The final match took La Posada to Floresta BC in Praia da Luz. The presentation evening was held at the end of the week and everyone had a great time.
