Rental prices rocket
Homeless man filmed before dying
A RECENT report places Marbella as one of the most expensive holiday rental destinations in Spain, with prices soaring to an average of €1,100 per week this summer. Independent research company Tecnitasa has analysed the rental prices of properties along the Costa del Sol and found that to enjoy a week on the Spanish coast will cost an average of €729, a €65 jump from last year and 30 per cent more than in 2014. In Malaga Province, prices soar to €1,300 in Puerto Banus although apartments can be found from €450 on the seafront of the capital. Ibiza, Sotogrande, Barcelona and Gerona have similarly expensive rental prices, all costing more than €1,100 per week. As Spain’s tourism industry grows stronger so will prices, with a 10 per cent annual hike now standard across much of the country.

JULY 4: American Independence Day.
Happy fourth of July! ONE of the biggest events in the US calendar will take place on Tuesday July 4 when Americans celebrate the anniversary of the declaration of independence from Great Britain. This leaves those wanting to celebrate from Spain with a problem however, as the day is a holiday in the US but naturally not here and so they are left with no choice but to celebrate on the closest weekend or Tuesday evening. Fortunately for US expatriates in Spain the holiday is easily transferrable and is normally celebrated with pool parties, BBQs and fireworks, all of which are popular past times among the Spanish. Some larger organisations get involved including The American Society of Barcelona which will this year be holding a fiesta this Saturday with live music and food. The US embassy in Madrid occasionally puts on special events as in 2015 when they transformed the Conde Duque cultural centre in Madrid into a Broadway stage, while local American Associations all tend to hold a special lunch.

The festival first became famous outside Spain after being immortalised in Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises, after which the number of foreign visitors snowballed. Despite its popularity San Fermin is not without its critics and has attracted fierce criticism from animal rights campaigners in particular, who claim the bulls are traumatised and tortured before and after the runs.

THE past week has been a terrible one for London with the death of at least 79 people in the Grenfell Tower fire. Add to this the terror attack on Muslims mowed down after prayers and death seems closer and more random than ever. It was perhaps sadly inevitable that there would be an attack on a Muslim target by a white van driver and this is what appears to have happened in Finsbury Park leaving one person dead and at least eight badly injured. Those affected by the fire seem to have some considerable reason to criticise their council for spending so much money on the refurbishment of the block to apparently make it appear more attractive to visitors and wealthy residents whilst ignoring safety aspects such as internal sprinkler systems. An enquiry will take place into the reasons for the speed in which the building became an inferno and will possibly apportion blame but enquiries take a long time and if it proves to be partially the fault of the Kensington Council, its officers will almost certainly be protected from prosecution. The government has not fared well following the conflagration and despite offering a £5 million (€5.7 million) fund to assist sufferers it has been suggested that the money has not been forthcoming nor has alternative local housing.

On your bike NEW SHOES: Rubber soles for Mijas’ working horses and donkeys. By Matthew Elliot DONKEYS and horses used to keep Mijas’ photo-friendly tourist taxi industry afloat will now wear rubber shoes instead of traditional iron. The decision was announced by Transport councillor Nuria Rodriguez late last week. The decision came after construction workers noted that the pueblo’s famous cobblestones were being gradually worn down by the solemn clunking of heels. Donkey taxis and horsedrawn carriages have proven a major, if controversial, attraction for decades. To stop the practice ultimately destroying Mijas’ roads, the council will fund the new rubber soled shoes. Rodriguez claims they are killing
two birds with one stone and also making life easier and more comfortable for the animals. “With rubber shoes we can preserve the image of the town and benefit the horses,” she told the press. Coachmen tried different materials and styles before settling on rubber. Rodriguez has been on the back foot in Mijas lately, forced to make concessions to upset animal rights defenders and residents shocked at some of the treatment endured by the donkeys in particular. A video surfaced last year showing one coachman remorselessly beating a donkey which had collapsed due to thirst. Protests regularly take place in the pueblo against the practice.

TOLL MOTORWAY: The prices have risen for the summer.
AP-7 takes its toll SUMMER price rises on the Costa del Sol’s AP-7 toll motorway have sparked outrage as fees rise above €7 between Fuengirola and Marbella. The limited-access highway runs in two parts along the Mediterranean coast of Spain. The second 96km long section passes through Torremolinos, Benalmadena and Fuengirola connecting Malaga to Cadiz. The PSOE opposition party have
criticised that during summer months the motorway sees a 65 per cent increase in traffic without lowering the concession. Rodriguez called for the Diputacion of Malaga to “lead and become involved” in the issue. MPs Eva Rodriguez and Jose Antonio Gonzalez have urged the Malaga’s provincial council to apply the law, explaining that current legislation requires that “if traffic rises, the rates go down accordingly.
“The rates are not adapting to the model outlined by the law,” they continued, adding that “the company should not be allowed to continue exploiting users of the road, while blatantly defying the council. “It is an unjust situation that affects the locals in the surrounding areas,” Gonzalez added. The party members stressed that the purpose of the proposal is to make the motorway available to all.

Emergency services took over two hours to perform the complex rescue, and later transferred the teenager to Hospital Carlos de Haya in Málaga after he sustained several fractures, spinal injuries and severe head trauma. After 11 days in a coma he has now woken up. Mayor of his hometown Cañete la Real, Pepi Jurado said: “In truth we can say that this miracle has filled us with hope, both the boy’s family and townspeople.” The mayor continued, saying that “in all the years I’ve been in the town hall, we’ve never been through anything quite like this; the town is devastated.” However, the victim is still in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) as he remains in a serious condition.

Heart-break goes on for Leo the Lion THE heart-breaking story of cancer fighter Leo the Lion’s fight for a normal childhood has taken a tragic new twist. A desolate Karen, mother of the brave four-year-old who has spent almost all of his life fighting a rare form of brain cancer, yesterday (Wednesday) revealed that doctors say his tumour has returned and is once again growing although they are not yet sure of its size. In addition in the last four weeks, he has lost between 1-1.5 kilos, a further indication that his cancer has returned. A fund launched late last year - and taken up by the Euro Weekly News with subsequent widespread publicity reaching hundreds of thousands of people - raised enough money to send him to the United States for cutting edge proton-beam therapy.
This funding, in part thanks to the amazing generosity of EWN readers, enabled little Leo, who lives in Almeria, to under-go potentially life-saving treatment in Oklahoma. But after new hope since his return to Spain in May that little Leo could win his fight for a normal life like other children, the reality is that doctors now fear the worst. And another sad twist is that the bank in charge of the fundraising account say that the money can only be used for treatment, meaning Karen and sister Sofia will be unable to make his remaining time as memorable as they had hoped, although
the family is not giving up. In a message mum Karen said: “Leo is the happiest little boy ever, he still lightens up any room with his smile, he amuses everyone with his wonderful sense of humour, he lights up our lives and I really do not know what we will do without him.�

No more twinkle? MARBELLA Council and Starlite event organisers have yet to draw up a new agreement after the festival’s venue permit expired. The Nagueles quarry, a 40,000sqm protected area in the Sierra Blanca, is under the jurisdiction of the Junta de Andalucia. On July 6, 1992 the Junta temporarily granted it to Marbella City Council to use as an auditorium for 25 years. The council then signed an agreement with event organisers in 2012 to use the quarry at an estimated annual cost of €7,000. Although after other payments for licences and guarantees, the figure is alleged to be around €140,000 a year. The new agreement is waiting for the Junta to extend Marbella’s lease for the quarry and the closure of a grievance filed against festival organisers by Marbella’s town planning. The complaint submitted by the planning department consists of the illegal construction of two walls and a pavement in the quarry. However,

Although, the most pressing matter discussed during negotiations is the licence fee. When Starlite first came to Marbella, the government saw it as an opportunity to boost interest in the city. Allegedly, after taking into account the touristic appeal of the
project, it was decided the event organisers should be charged what Marbella paid to the Junta. Now, after five years of the event, the Starlite festival no longer needs a council subsidy. Reportedly, the council intends to raise the fee to an annual €100,000. With many variables left in play, the festival’s future remains insecure.

MALAGA CITY: Only 130 areas were flagged as danger zones. DANIEL CARO, director of the Urban Cloud Company, has announced that visitors and residents in Malaga can breathe good quality air in 95 per cent of the city. In a recent study conducted by Malaga Council and Urban Cloud, a team of 40 voluntary cyclists collected air samples across the capital. The report, presented by Environmental councillor Raul Jimenez, was carried out across 2,355 areas in the province. Of these, more than half (1,405) tested for low pollution, 820 tested for moderate pollution, and only 130 were flagged as danger zones.
Despite being a city with significant motor traffic, the study shows that the presence of carbon dioxide remains well below the levels in Madrid, Sevilla and Barcelona. The 130 zones showing evidence of high levels of pollution will be subject to a second round of testing, according to Jimenez. The next stage will use more sensitive equipment to carry out an in-depth analysis of the pollutants and, if necessary, devise counteractive solutions.

The original proposal came from Local Police who had asked that the streets be closed from 12pm-12am during summer due to the hazard vehicles presented during peak hours. However after consultation meetings led by Maldonado, it was agreed the time limit was excessive. The mayor has emphasised it is essential that the City Council provide maximum protection to both citizens and visitors in these crowded areas “and in the same way, to gain quality in our tourism offer.” The semi-pedestrianisation is now operational until September between the hours of 6pm-12pm on Calle Malaga, Calle Carril and Avenida del Compas.

The group of women wanted to prove to other cancer patients and survivors that positivity is instrumental to aid recovery. “Sometimes force does not leave the arms or the body, because the mind is the most powerful muscle we will ever have,” explained one of the women, Susana Languarda, after they finished an hour
ahead of schedule. “Sometimes, when you have to face important and difficult things in life, you tend to change your priorities and your point of view about everyday things,” said another of the women, Fuengirola pharmacist Carmen Diaz. “You have to find a positive, even in having cancer, and for me that positive thing has been to learn how to value people who have been with me in the worst moment and enjoy every single minute of living,” she
maintained. Mayor of Manilva Mario Jimenez waited alongside officials at the finish line in La Duquesa to receive the women. After their arrival, the blue flag was raised, awarded this year for upholding the highest environmental standards and clean waters. In addition to demonstrating life after cancer, the women have contributed sponsor donations to the Spanish Association Against Cancer and women’s charity ZONTA Malaga.

Making a splash for ALS awareness JAIME CABALLERO: Is prepariing for a 90kilometre swim.
Photo by Jaime Caballero Echeverria/Facebook
I N T E R N AT I O N A L LY renowned swimmer Jaime Caballero is preparing for a 90kilometre swim to raise awareness for the degenerative disease ALS. It will be a round trip with Sotogrande being his start and finish point and Marbella, 45km away, being the half way mark. ALS is a muscular degenerative disease which slowly paralyses those affected; Stephen Hawking is a wellknown sufferer. Caballero wants to raise awareness for a charity he co-founded called Siempre Adelante (Always Ahead) which aims to highlight the need for more research and investment to understand the disease and find ways to make sufferers lives easier. The journey to Marbella is expected to
take between 12 and 16 hours and it is yet to be confirmed if the swimmer will stop here and resume the following day or almost immediately commence the return journey. The benefit of taking a break half way is firstly that he will not have to deal with the jellyfish populations which come further inland at night and he has a chance to increase public participation in Marbella. Throughout the journey he is likely to counter hardships like wind, currents and sea animals. These are unlikely to stop him however as the swimmer in the past has crossed the Channel and the Lake of Geneva which is a 22-hour journey. The swim will go ahead in the first week of August and Caballero will be accompanied by a doctor, a reference pilot as well as family and friends.
TIME OUT: The group enjoyed five days of fun.
Journey to the sea A GROUP of young people suffering from cancer have been given the opportunity to visit Sotogrande and Campo de Gibraltar for five days of fun. The trip was organised by the Foundation Blas Mendez Ponce based in Madrid, a group whose aim is to organise cultural, leisure and nature trips for children receiving cancer treatment. Whilst in Sotogrande the children had the opportunity to sail and have rides on jet skis as well as take part in other outdoor pursuits. Lunch at Cafeteria Ke overlooking the harbour was part of the experience everyone could enjoy. These trips aim to improve the lives of the children by taking them out of the hospital, which is often very difficult to arrange, to promote well-being and socialisation. Making this possible is a diverse group of doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers, activity co-ordinators, parents and many volunteers.

AFTER a long investigation, 18 people are to appear in court over an alleged multi-million euro music royalty scam. The General Society of Authors and Publishers (SGAE) collects royalty fees on behalf of composers and musicians when their works are broadcast in Spain. There are fees charged for recorded music played in bars, clubs, restaurants and other public places as well as when broadcast on radio and TV. It is alleged that a number of high ranking members of the SGAE claimed

of Petroleum Operators (AOP) there are now, for the first time, more than 11,000 service stations across Spain although the three largest brands, Repsol, Cepsa and BP continue to dominate the market. Many of the new stations offer a discount of up to 15c when compared to the better known brands but make their savings by cutting back sharply on staff, not offering any shopping or bathroom facilities and purchasing their fuel from different sources.

Officers of the SGAE have stated that they have done all in their power to assist the police and tax agency investigation.
Keeping cool costs money THE hot weather has brought a breath of fresh air to companies selling fans and airconditioning units as well as larger bills for consumers from the energy companies. With temperatures around Spain staying high for an extended period of time, people have been rushing to purchase methods of keeping cool. For those who are too impatient to wait for the installation of air conditioning units, low noise free standing fans have been particularly popular but online retailer Amazon has revealed that sales of air conditioning units have shot up compared to the same time last year.

NEW SELF-EMPLOYED RULES TO BE VOTED ON IN CORTES
Social Security costs reductions IN order to encourage the self-employed to work legally, the Spanish government plans to increase the period of reduced monthly fees of €50 to one year. This is a special reduction in the rate to be paid to register with the social security department for new self-employed workers, even if the start-up goes on to employ staff. This is possibly the most important of the concessions being offered to encourage new business start-ups and also those who are working cash in hand to consider registering for the benefits which include medical treatment and pensions. Additional proposals include women who return to work after giving birth will be able to take advantage of the reduced rate for 12 months and those who employ family members (provided they have not sacked employees in the same position) will be able to extend employment benefits subject to certain requirements. There will be discounts for those who are out of work for any period of time and also the ability to continue work after retirement age and receive part pension and part salary. In the event that any person is late in paying their contribution, the ‘surcharge’ will be reduced for the first month that the payment is overdue and anyone injured whilst travelling to or from work will also be covered by social security. There will be a €12 per day tax offset for food purchased from a restaurant or café during a weekday if the individual is away from home on business and those who work at home will be able to claim 20 per cent of utility costs including telephone. As is often the case with Spanish legal matters, there are a number of rules and regulations that have to be met, but generally speaking this is a proposal likely to make life easier and less ex-

pensive for the self-employed. Estimates suggest that there are between 3.2 and 3.6 million people working for themselves in Spain but there is a very large additional number who haven’t registered, don’t pay tax and don’t contribute to social security. It is possible that this new proposal which still has to be voted into law may encourage some of those working but not reporting their income to take advantage of the reduction in cost and increased benefits to register themselves officially.
SOLD AT THE REQUEST OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK THE European Central Bank warned the Italian government that two of its banks were close to bankruptcy and gave permission for their sale for €1. Like Banco Popular in Spain, Banca Popolare di Vicenza and Veneto Banca in Italy have been sold to a stronger bank for €1 but there is a considerable difference in the way that private shareholders and investors will be treated. In the case of the Spanish takeover, Santander are expected to be responsible for the shortfall in accounts of some €7 billion and are not expecting to pay any compensation for losses to shareholders, although they may be sued in a combined action. The Italian arrangement is completely different as the Italian government has not only agreed to pass only the good parts of the two banks to Intesa Sanpaolo Group but is immediately injecting €5.2 billion into the operation to protect assets and jobs. In addition however it has put a further €12 billion to one side and retained the bad part of the businesses to cover the likely call from shareholders for compensation and to cover in-

vestor’s deposits as well as bad debts which might be encountered by Intesa. According to a statement from the Italian Minister of the Economy and Finance Pier Carlo Padoan, there was no alternative than to undertake this ‘bail out’ as the alternation could have seen a removal of funds from those and other banks and a possible panic and worsening of the economy in Italy. It is generally understood that the Italian banking sector has a serious problem with potential bad debt which may total €350 billion in all and represents a little more than 30 per cent of
the Eurozone’s total bad debt. When comparing Spanish and Italian banks, one thing that becomes immediately obvious is that many of the plethora of small regional ‘building societies’ which existed prior to the financial crisis have been amalgamated into larger banks and in many cases have become much stronger. This was not of course the case with Bankia which was formed from such a group but arguably, its problems were caused by bad management, coupled with reckless abuse by individuals who are currently on trial.
Spain wants to reduce taxes IN an interview with the magazine Values published by accountants KPMG, Mariano Rajoy has announced that he intends to reduce taxes and review electricity charges. He was speaking to the magazine as part of its 10th anniversary celebration and spent some time congratulating his government on all that it had achieved to strengthen the economy and to reduce unemployment. The promise to reduce taxation came with a proviso which was that it could only be done if target deficit figures were reached and this would be known by 2019. As far as energy is concerned, he pledged to do all that he could to progressively reduce prices although he made no mention of the matter of private solar powered energy which has been problematic for the government in the past.
Banks are in the money SPANISH banks had a very good first quarter with profits of €3.465 billion, an increase of 17 per cent over the same period last year. Whilst income has improved in all operating areas, as the economy continues to recover, losses caused by bad debt have also dropped by a significant amount to 5.5 per cent. According to the report issued by the Spanish Banking Association (AEB) much of the increase is due to improved efficiency leading to greater margins as well as an increase in the value of fees. Another aspect which has helped is the sale of assets by certain of the banks but in some cases, operating costs have increased and those banks affected will need to consider remedial action.

TOO MANY TOUTS CONTROL TICKETS MANY people in Spain feel that it is totally wrong that ‘ticket touts’ obtain large numbers of concert tickets and sell them at inflated prices. In fact it is illegal for tickets to be sold on the streets at higher prices, but owners of websites appear to be protected from the threat of prosecution because the 1982 law didn’t envisage the power of the internet. The Anti-Rebellion Alliance, spearheaded by singer and musician Alejandro Sanz wants to see the law changed to take into account sale through websites and to set a maximum price for any ticket offered for sale by a third party. One of the problems is that these ‘internet touts’ speculate o n p u r c h a s i n g l a rg e n u m b e r s so tickets for concerts which they believe will be popular and the artists want to see their

fans pay the correct price to see their favourite performers. Profits for the re-sellers can be greater than those earned by the promoter and artists, but the problem has been partially resolved by legislation in Britain and France so the Alliance wants Spain to follow suit.
WITH a percentage of young Spaniards considering moving to the USA in order to start their careers many young Americans believe that money buys happiness. According to a recent Mintel report, a high proportion of those interviewed and aged between 23 and 40 believe that earning money to secure their future is more important than having a good time. When they do have free time, they are less interested in owning goods than their parents, preferring to be involved in activities, experiences or travelling. Fifty-one per cent of this group, known as Millennials believe that they understand and can manage their finances well and think their future looks quite healthy. Interestingly, the report highlights the fact that this group, more than most other generations, wants to have money available for emergencies and also many want to pay utility and credit card bills as quickly as possible. All are technology aware and a high percentage are happy to use online and mobile banking facilities as they believe that this is a quick and efficient means of dealing with finances.
Losing mental capacity whilst living abroad by Stone King Charlotte Macdonald Contact me at international@stoneking.co.uk
MANY UK expatriates living in Spain own properties in the UK and have pensions and investments in the UK. They rely on their UK assets to maintain their lifestyles (and those of their families) in Spain. If they can no longer manage their affairs in the UK due to a loss of mental capacity, it can cause many difficulties.
You can choose a person or people, who you trust, to act for you when you are no longer able. The best way to avoid the legal and practical difficulties that can occur with the loss of mental capacity is to plan for it in advance by drawing up a document called a ‘Lasting Power of Attorney’ (‘LPA’).
An LPA must be made while you have full mental capacity.
What is an LPA? An LPA is a legal document that enables you to appoint one or more attor-
neys to act for you when you are no longer able to act for yourself. Your attorney can be a professional,
such as a solicitor or a family member or friend. There are two types of LPA: ‘Health and Welfare’ or ‘Property and Financial Affairs’ An LPA must be made while you have full mental capacity. It is therefore important to make one while you are in good health. Why should you get an LPA? You can choose a person or people, who you trust, to act for you when you are no longer able. If you lose your mental capacity and do not have an LPA, then your family (or the authorities) will have no choice but to make an application to the Court of Protection to appoint a ‘deputy’ to look after your affairs, which can be time consuming and costly. Will my LPA be recognised in Spain? Unfortunately there is no international type of LPA which is guaranteed to work in both the UK and Spain. The advice we give to our clients at Stone King, is that if you have assets in both Spain and the UK, your only safe option is to appoint attorneys in both jurisdictions.
If you would like to discuss LPAs contact Charlotte Macdonald or Dan Harris at Stone King LLP by email international@stoneking.co.uk or by telephone on +44 (0)1225 337599.

Will do anything to gain power LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT SOME people just never seem to be satisfied. Personally, I thought the recent evacuation of the Camberley high rise apartments was perfectly reasonable and justified. However unlikely a fire of the Grenfell devastation would have occurred quite so soon (if at all) it was nevertheless a possibility. To hear the moaning and whinging of those evacuated, you would have thought they would have preferred to chance an agonising death than be disturbed ‘at that time of the night!’ Well I think Georgia Gould, the Camden councillor who made the decision, was very decisive and extremely articulate in her explanation for the evacuation and had tried a number of alternatives that didn’t come to fruition. She simply wasn’t prepared to take the risk, however unlikely, of seeing more people perish. Good for her.
CORBYN: Everywhere at the moment. Have you noticed the sting has also gone out of the left unashamedly trying to turn the whole tragedy into a political incident? Well I think the reasons come clear in the following text kindly submitted to me by David from the UK. 1. The block of flats was not run by the council, but by the Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation which comprises of eight tenants, four councillors and three inde-
pendent members. Emma Coad elected Labour MP was on this board who are being accused of not listening to tenants. 2. Labour holds the seat the block is situated in. 3. Labour run the London council who manage the un-
derfunded London fire service. (Sadiq Khan produced a report saying the fire service didn’t need more funding!) 4. The decision to change contractors during the refurbishment was made by the KTCMO. As was the decision not to spend 138k on sprinklers. 5. KTCMO was formed under the ‘right to manage’ legislation passed when Labour were in power in 2002. No wonder the Corbynites have changed tack and shifted to only blaming the government for not handling the aftermath well enough. Typical. Couldn’t believe Corbyn, who seems to be everywhere at the moment, actually turned up at Glastonbury. Blatantly pontificating like some 1960’s Guru, he used this opportunity to try and bend the minds of even more youngsters, who have no idea what life would be like should
he and his Marxist party ever to come to power. His final puffed up ‘message’ to Donald Trump to ‘build bridges not walls,’ was pure ‘flower power’ jargon, Utopian rhetoric that finally petered out when the 60’s flower children came of age and began to see sense. Unfortunately the kids lapped it up. No wonder the left want the voting age lowered to 16. It’s the same ploy used by Blair and Brown, who let in floods of immigrants purely to obtain their votes. Labour will do anything to gain power. They have no morals, shame or scruples when it comes to using the gullible to mark an X against their party. I would almost like to see them get in, just to be able to tell these misguided youngsters when the whole country falls apart, ‘I told you so.’ On second thoughts, perhaps not.

WHO do you trust? Politicians? Bankers? The police? Trust is now at an all time low - for many, mainly due to those at the top who have let the rest of us down. Indeed, it was once suggested all UK MPs should attend ‘honesty’ classes. And that’s the truth, honestly! I mean, did you believe ‘promises’ made during the EU Referendum campaign? For example: ‘Two thirds of UK manufacturing jobs depend on demand from Europe’ (Alan Johnson). Wrong!

You were definitely on the guest list!’ Or: ‘I’ve had a few problems with my email. Must be the server!’ According to one study, 60 per
cent of Brits lie at least once during a 10-minute conversation. Another found that 25 per cent lie about their days off simply to impress others. And politicians? They’ve raised lying to Olympic standards. Remember Bill Clinton’s: ‘I did not have sexual relations with that woman.’ Plus all Trump’s, err, ‘alternative facts?’ Just why and how people lie and the impact this has on others is a subject that’s always fascinat-

Psychologists claim we lie to compensate for the gaps between who we are and who we want to be and between what we have and what we want to have. Telling a white lie not to offend and paying a false compliment to give pleasure are both natural deceits adopted at an early age. Winston Churchill, however, blatantly ignored these social ‘rules.’ When he met Labour MP Bessie Braddock who accused him of being plastered, he retorted: “Madam, you are ugly.

THURSDAY THOUGHTS By Brian Eagleson, Mojacar
Doesn’t make sense With apologies to the wonderful Mike Senker. He’s not the ONLY Grumpy Old Man! Why do UK broadcasters have such a problem with the expat telly audience? Why do they keep switching us off? Now that Sky’s disappeared yet again with only a few rubbish channels left behind what’s it all about? Anyone with a bit of technical knowledge will be aware that our UK telly comes from a satellite (or two) up in space hovering over the equator. So how come it hovers instead of zooming round and round with our telly dishes having to track it across the sky like Jodrell Bank? Well, that’s ‘cos its orbit speed is the same as the Earth’s rotation. So it stays in (roughly) the same place every day and your dish doesn’t need to move. Clever, eh? But wait a minute. If it’s over the equator it must be nearer to Spain than the UK ‘cos the UK’s further north than Spain. So how come the UK gets perfect reception on all channels while we just get rubbish? Well, that’s because it’s like a spotlight aimed at the UK with Spain on the fringe of the beam and also due to something called encryption. Y’see, for some unknown reason the UK broadcasters don’t want to let anybody outside the UK watch their programmes so they encrypt them with secret codes and now they’re even more secret than they used to be and they keep changing all the time. Clever, eh? Hmm. Not so sure. Might be stupid. After all, if you pay a fortune to launch a satellite into space wouldn’t a bigger audience make more money for your business than a smaller one? More adverts reaching more people? The broadcasters don’t seem to think so. Has anybody asked the advertisers though? Doesn’t make sense to me. But then, does anything?

Spain still the most popular choice WHILE the UK is now in the process of leaving the European Union, a new piece of research suggests that British people are still interested in buying abroad, particularly in Spain. Brexit is not putting off those who want a dream home in countries like France, Spain and Italy which have always been popular with British buyers, according to a survey from legal firm Spanish Legal Reclaims. Some 55 per cent of those who are considering buying a home abroad say Brexit will have no impact on their decision to buy. In fact, 10 per cent of those surveyed said they were actually more likely to buy in Europe now that Britain has decided to leave the EU. Spain remains the most popular choice for Brits looking to buy abroad, with 45 per cent saying it was their first choice, followed by 37 per cent putting France first and 20 per cent putting Italy as the top of their wish list. “It’s not surprising to hear that Spain remains the favourite destination for British people who want to buy property in Europe. It continues to deliver on lifestyle, property prices and climate,” said chief executive Luis Cuervo. The firm has also found that it is possible for British buyers who found their dream of having a home in Spain blighted by disappearing devel-

As a result of the ruling, buyers in this position can reclaim their money back from the bank who was meant to safeguard their deposit and Cuervo pointed out that it could affect British buyers who are hundreds of thousands of pounds out of pocket.
He reckons that 130,000 British buyers are eligible to claim a total of £5.3 billion and the firm is currently working with clients to help them reclaim money they are owed from offplan Spanish property. One of the successful claimants is Janet Jalil from North West London who bought a holiday home for €200,000 in Marbella with her husband in 2002 which they were then planning to use as a retirement home. ‘When we flew to Spain to see the proper-

Some dodgy side effects! Mike Senker
In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man DO you remember Model 720 - the innocent enquiry that the Spanish tax office made telling everyone they had to declare all worldwide assets valued at over €50,000 or be fined? We were told it wasn’t for any real reason - nobody was ever going to do anything with it. They were just gathering information. Well I have to inform you that surprise, surprise it was absolute lies. Am I shocked? Of course not. Am I peed off? Well, yes I am because I thought if everyone did the right thing, played the game and did the declaration that would be the end of it. But this week we got a letter from the Spanish tax office telling us that we had underpaid our tax in 2012 which is a load of cobblers. We had paid the tax in the UK for the rental on the property there that we owned and paid the tax here on our rental properties here. The difference is not a fortune and we have given it to our accountant to sort out. His was ‘just pay it.’ Mine is ‘why?’ Why should we once again get mugged off? Let me know if you hear of others with this problem. I was on TRE Viewpoint show talking about the terrible fire that killed all those innocent people recently. I read today that 34 high rise flats in
17 local authority areas have failed fire cladding safety tests. All in the name of ‘savings.’ It’s disgusting and I hope those responsible go to prison! Mrs S gave up smoking a few months ago but now has started again. So I thought I’d look at some of the things that could help. Vaping is out, as are patches and that gum stuff. Then I saw an advert on US TV for a product called Chantix. I thought to myself ‘that looks like a fantastic product.’ I’ll try and get her some of that.

Abnormal dreams, chronic trouble sleeping, gas, head pain, incomplete or infrequent bowel movements, throwing up, angina, trouble breathing, acute infection of the nose, throat or sinus, drowsiness, dry mouth, excessive sweating, intense abdominal pain, low energy, abnormal heart rhythm, behaving with excessive cheerfulness, delusions, depression, diabetes, giant hives, thought of suicide, paranoia, psychosis, thoughts of hurting or killing others, muscle pain, nosebleeds, ringing in the ears, sensation of spinning - and, as I said this is just SOME of the side effects!

BREATHALYSER TEST: Law changes.
A RECENT story has been circulating on the internet over changes to the law which will come into force in July, stating that a second person in a vehicle must pass an alcohol breathalyser test not just the driver. The article stated ‘A new measure proposed by the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) will also force drivers and those accompanying the driver, to blow in the BAC test. The new measure will be launched July 1 in order that this summer we can have safer roads in our country and so that at least one of the companions can count as an alternative driver.’ However, the N332 Traffico team, said the message may have been lost in translation and the actual proposal is in the event of a driver being stopped and fail-
ing an alcohol test, a passenger, or the next appointed driver, must prove their sobriety and pass a breathalyser test as well as having all the appropriate documentation and qualifications to drive, in order for the group in the vehicle to continue their journey. If none can do so, then the vehicle and i t s occupant s, wi l l not be goi ng anywhere. If a group of people are in a vehicle, only the driver is legally required to remain below the maximum permitted alcohol limit, although the passengers, however much they have consumed, are still required to act in a safe and appropriate manner in the vehicle, although they cannot be called upon to take over the role of the driver.

Channelling your inner Wonder Woman Trudy Stewart I AM beyond excited about the new Wonder Woman movie! Ever since I first saw Lynda Carter striding across the screen in her California Tan tights, wielding her lasso of truth, I’ve been a super-fan. After years of reading the comic books, my favourite superhero has finally been brought to the big screen in the form of real-life Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot. Born in 1985, her beauty led to her being crowned
Miss Israel at age 18. At 20, Gadot enlisted as a soldier in the Israeli Defence Forces serving as a combat trainer. In preparation for her role in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (the first outing for Wonder Woman), Gadot was trained in swordsmanship, kung fu kickboxing, capoeira and Brazilian jiujitsu. As a mother of two young daughters, she takes her rolemodel status very seriously. S h e
was born to play this part and I can’t wait to see her interpretation of my favourite feminist. I am so happy to see a strong, powerful woman take the lead for a change. It’s part of what drew me to and made me fall in love with
WONDER WOMAN: I’m a super fan.
Wonder Woman in the first place. Growing up, I didn’t find fairy-tales very inspirational. The female leads spent most of their stories either sleeping or trying their best to bag a Prince (in one extreme case, the ‘heroine’ indulges in some breaking and entering with a side-line in porridge theft!) The year I was born (1975), Margaret Thatcher became leader of the Conservative party and just four years later, became the first female Prime Minister of the UK. At the time, I imagine I was more interested in the Muppets and grew up taking it for granted that a woman was the leader of the country. Whatever you thought of her, Mrs Thatcher was unique and had a huge influence, shaping the world we live in today.
The UK now has another female PM (although by the time we go to print, who knows!) as well as a female First Minister in Scotland, (my particular favourite) Nicola Sturgeon. All over the world, women are leading their countries with last year seeing the US just a whisker away from their first female President. Women are increasingly working in areas traditionally dominated by men. We are redefining ourselves as more than just our gender. But that doesn’t mean men and women have equal rights and opportunities and we can hang up our feminist spurs. There is still a gender pay gap and the glass ceiling is yet to be smashed completely. The stereotype of a feminist as a man-hating, hirsute, embittered cat parent is outdated and inaccurate. Thankfully, a new generation of self-proclaimed feminists such as Daniel Radcliff and even Prince Harry are redefining the term. Hopefully, one day men and women will all have equal rights and opportunities and we can thank the real-life Wonder Women who paved the way. trudystewart75@gmail.com

A very well-informed real estate agent, Sheldon Grossmith found himself in exactly this situation but not only did he have a good idea of the law, he also knew a very astute and successful lawyer who actua l l y
helped him recover his funds. Now, through his company Off Plan Property Deposit Refunds which is based in Estepona, Sheldon and his Spanish associate will do their best to assist expatriates and Spaniards to recover their funds, even if, as is often the case, they were lost 10 years ago. The concept is very simple, although recovery can take some time, as banks with whom the original deposit was lodged could well be responsible in law for the refund of the monies lost, provided that they didn’t insist that monies lodged were covered by bank guarantees, separate insurance policies or in escrow accounts which many didn’t. Almost none of the money lost was ever in a ‘safe haven’ and this is where OPP can assist. Sheldon still remembers how sick and upset he felt when he thought that he had lost such a large sum and wants to help others recover what in some cases could be their entire life savings. To be fair, he isn’t totally altruistic as he will make a charge for putting this together, but this will be on a no win, no fee basis! Those who have suffered such a loss are invited to get in touch with him and send
him a copy of the original purchase contract and proof of payment (as well as where it was paid to). A decision as to whether there is a viable case to prosecute can be made very quickly and if the decision is positive then it is intended that there will be a three-way agreement, signed between the person losing the money, OPP and the lawyer who will undertake the case. Once an agreement to proceed is reached, it is likely to take between 12 and 18 months to obtain a final court ruling and in the event of the Judge making an award to the person whose money has been taken, there will be a 15 per cent charge (plus IVA) from OPP and the lawyers will keep any interest that has been awarded by the court. Should the case be unsuccessful however, then no costs are charged to the client. Off Plan Property Deposit Refunds was formed at the beginning of 2016 and as a regular advertiser in Euro Weekly News has received a number of enquiries from those who lost money and is currently actively pursuing more than 30 cases. So if you want to find out more, visit www.off-planpropertydepositrefunds.com or call Sheldon on 642 740 708.

Marbella, is always at your service Marbella Moments by Nicole King IT came up in conversation recently that a mutual friend had offended the staff at a local restaurant by snapping his fingers to attract the waiter’s attention. Now this is something I think of as ‘old school’; something that my dad used to do all the time. My dad however would have already given the Maître d’ a £50 tip whilst shaking hands with him upon entering the door. My dad believed that by tipping the waiters as he walked in would leave no doubt that there would be a nice tip at the end too. This he hoped would ensure excellent service because the waiters wouldn’t be worrying or wondering all through the meal if the tip would be good or not. If not for this he probably wouldn’t have got away with snapping his fingers at them either. In today’s world the word service (the action of helping or doing work for someone) is no longer synonymous with the word servant, a word used less and less over the last 200 years due to its negative connotations. Providing service does not mean that the
ALWAYS at your service. person has to be servile, but it should mean th at a s c lie nts , w e be c ivil a t a ll time s , showing gratitude that someone else is dedicating themselves to our comfort. If we don’t, maybe our comfort will not be their priority and who knows what they could
drop in your soup? I really empathised with my local Spanish friends when I first moved to Marbella in the 80’s. Nearing the summer months the waiters would start complaining about the imminent onslaught of the ‘Madrileños,’ those from
Spain’s capital city who, in their opinion, saved up all year to come to Marbella just to pose and presume to be something they’re not, talking down to the waiters to feel superior themselves. People make this mistake all the time, thinking perhaps that waiters, civil servants, receptionists or secretaries are not important, not worthy of our time or respect, but it’s these very people on the first rung of the ladder that are all powerful. It’s uncanny, but it’s these people who are actually in a position to spike your food, put your call through to the boss, or not, or put your file to the bottom of the pile, over and over and over again, if they don’t like you. I was a very lucky child and was privileged to grow up with all luxuries money could buy, but I understood at an early age that money does not make you a good person; in fact that is something money truly cannot buy. Over the years I’ve come to appreciate that it’s the things that money can’t buy that I value most and want from and for my life and those around me: love, health, happiness and to help others, in any way I can. Selfish really as the rewards are infinite, but that’s why it feels so good to be of service, and why Marbella is always at yours.

THE 2017/2018 budget has now been announced together with a ‘State of the Nation’ review of the previous year. Chief Minister Fabian Picardo made much of the achievements of the Labour-Liberal coalition government which over a period of years has seen a movement to increase budget surpluses with the latest being £75.8 million, the largest in Gibraltar’s history. All of this has been achieved against a background of uncertainty because of the Brexit vote and the fact that government has invested more money than ever in local development and assistance for the poorest in the community. Pensions and the minimum wage are to increase in line with inflation with some minor increase in income tax free earnings.

The economy is now healthier than ever
The Chief Minister.
Recognising that Gibraltar benefits from the sale of high value goods especially for export, a number of items including handbags and jewellery have had their import duties reduced and in the case of gold bullion and vintage cars scrapped altogether. There was some bad news for those who smoke shisha pipes as the import duty was to increase to £15 per kilo for the tobacco and diesel fuel duty will increase by 3p per litre for standard diesel and 1p per litre for the premium brand. In order to further help the environment, the duty on plastic carrier bags will double from 5p to 10p to encourage regular re-use of carrier bags. The forecast for the coming year is encouraging with cash surpluses expected although the government says it will continue to act prudently.
Cloud below the Rock.
Strange cloud appears THERE was an unusual weather phenomenon in Gibraltar a few days ago with a cloud appearing below the summit of the Rock. Drivers entering Gibraltar from La Linea de la Concepcion had to drive through the cloud (which was natural and not smoke) before going across the border. The Rock is often obscured by clouds but this type of occurrence is quite rare.
La Sala Gibraltar THERE are two good reasons to visit La Sala Gibraltar especially if you enjoy good food and the smooth sound of Sinatra. Martin Joseph one of the best Frank Sinatra tribute acts on the coast will be performing this Saturday night. If you can’t make it on Saturday then every week day from 12pm to 4pm there is the 3S promotion in the Sapphire Bar where you can choose two dishes from a selection of Soup, Salad and Sandwich for £10.

SUCCESFUL artist Christian Hook was finally presented with the Freedom of the City of Gibraltar following a promise made by the Chief Minister in 2015. The ceremony took place upon the cruise ship Queen Victoria, one of the smaller but most luxurious of the Cunard Line vessels. Mayor Kaiane Aldorino Lopez made the ceremonial presentation of the scroll bestowing the Freedom of the City upon the artist who has work hanging in a number of UK galleries and was the 2014 winner of the Sky TV Portrait Artist of the Year competition. In addition, he was presented with the Gibraltar Medallion of Honour which is bestowed by parliament on behalf of the people of Gibraltar. Both the mayor and Chief Minister said how well-deserved this hon-

The presentation was held on board the Queen Victoria to coincide with his collection which is being exhibited on board and he was due to present lectures to passengers before it left port bound for Mallorca. The artist explained that this was one of his proudest moments and it was confirmed that he is only the 14th individual to ever be granted the Freedom of the City alongside another 14 organisations or regiments. Also attending the presentation was Governor, Lt General Ed Davis together with Cunard representatives and friends and family of the artist.

MADDOCKS’ VIEW ON LIFE
‘
I planned on having one husband and seven children, but it turned out the other way round.” By Lana Turner, American Actress
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Putting all of your eggs in one basket is rarely to be advised. It should particularly be avoided this week. For the sake of speed and ease it will be tempting to take short cuts and make decisions that are bland. These will, of their nature, not be of the ‘good’ or ‘great’ categories. You are capable of better.

With your engine revving and the road ahead clear, a sense of great freedom is with you. There are those for whom this week is a chance to really make headway. For some, though, it is an irksome task. The difference is that some of you are taking a negative attitude. Make sure that yours is positive and you will have a chance to make real progress
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Wanting to put things right with someone close is a good instinct to have. It would certainly give you peace of mind. Indeed, this should be a quiet and peaceful week and one that is long overdue. Being successful in business is only one part of success. The light is dawning that what you have always wanted has changed.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Someone very special could come into your life. You must, however, be at the ball to meet the prince. This opportunity for happiness is not going to jump up and bite you. A phone call could be the start of it all. Accept invitations and get out and about. Be aware of what is going on so that you can be in the right place at the right time.

How you feel about someone will change dramatically during the week. This will surprise you. Thinking about it logically, though, you have been missing the point for some time. Someone who you always thought of as a friend turns out to be much more. How you deal with this is very much an individual thing.

What is the reason that you are being held back? Are you sure that you are, in reality, being held back at all? These are not trick questions. Being honest with your answers this week will lift a cloud from your horizon. Perhaps you are seeing ghosts when there are only shadows.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) With high energy you are seeking to get as much done as possible in a small amount of time. Rather than go at it ‘hammer and tongs’, it could be easier. Let someone help you out. They will find it satisfying and so you will both be happy.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You are freer than you imagine. Your imagination is letting you down a bit at the moment. Not for some time have opportunities been throwing themselves at you like this. The question is not if you should take up an offer but rather which one you should choose.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Give others the benefit of the doubt and your infinite patience this week. Situations will change from minute to minute. It would be a waste of energy to take anything at facevalue. Time is often the first thing to solve many problems. As with health, given a few days simple things will sort themselves out.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Although you are only too aware that you are capable of great good when you put your mind to it, it would be wise to bide your time this week. You may not realise that you are expending too much energy until your weary head hits the pillow. Be kind to your body. Some things that are taken for granted should not be so. This can lead to neglect. In neither home nor business is this recommended.
SAGITARIUS (November 23 - December 21) It may seem that everyone wants your attention at the moment. There are times when you would like nothing more than to go away and clear your mind. This is not only possible but essential. You need some quiet moments. Even a day away can renew your spirits and energy.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) So strong have been the practical considerations of late that you have been in a bad position. You need to live more for the ‘now’ and less for the ‘tomorrow’. Of course, life should be a mixture of both but sometimes it all gets a bit jumbled. Getting a few hours peace and quiet on your own may be all that you need. Getting enough sleep is also important in this situation.

BIRTHDAYS
NORMAN WISDOM’S childhood years could be compared to that of a Dickens novel. He and his brother were forced to sleep on the streets of London, after his violent father had driven his mother away and they were left to fend for themselves. The book is a ragsto-riches tale, where his hardships, tragedies and triumphs are mentioned. It starts from his days, working in Scarborough during the summer, his army days in India to his wellloved character, Norman Pitkin. He rose to fame, not only in England, but went on to become a worldwide star. He was brushing shoulders with Hollywood stars like Laurel & Hardy, Bob Hope and Marilyn Monroe as well as British stars like Bruce Forsyth, Gracie Fields and Vera Lynn in the 50’s and 60’s.

Come on, you know it makes sense SIR, The one single factor that separates EU citizens from the British are the identity cards used instead of passports. An ID card has always been opposed by successive British governments, but it is time to face reality and accept that the advantages far outweigh the inconvenience. These have to be carried at all times and not only provide proof of the holder’s identity but are an essential tool to enable police forces, health and administrative departments or stores to be able to carry out instant identity checks. They make life easier for everyone. In the post Brexit era I firmly believe in the introduction of an EU identity card for British citizens, which would grant everybody legally entitled to obtain one, the same rights as all other EU citizens. This would replace the European Health Insurance Card which will become obsolete after Brexit. This might be seen as a means to carry out the greatest survey of the population since the Domesday Book but it would also identify all those who

In total three different workmen were involved; a plasterer, then a painter, and finally an electrician. Each took a photograph on completing his work... using his mobile... presumably for company files. And the insurance accessor who called before approving the work also took a photo, with his mobile, of the damage caused.

What does your birth month say about your health? RESEARCHERS from the University of Alicante say they believe that your birth month could be related to what illnesses and diseases may afflict you. The scientists carried out the study on 30,000 people and mapped birth months to 27 chronic diseases to see if it made a difference to long-term health, and said they found there was a significant impact for some conditions. For example men who were born in September were almost three times more likely to suffer thyroid problems than those born in January. Their study follows one from Columbia University researchers who found similar results in a study they conducted in 2015. So what does your birth month potentially tell you about your health and what ailments could you be more prone to? January Men; constipation, stomach ulcer and low back pain while for women, they are more likely to suffer from migraine, menopause problems and heart attack. February Men; thyroid problems, heart conditions and osteoarthritis. Women; osteoarthritis, thyroid problems and blood clots. March Men; cataracts, heart conditions and asthma. Women; arthritis, rheumatism, constipation. April

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. Are jellyfish stings dangerous? In general, although irritating and sometimes painful, jellyfish stings do not tend to cause serious reactions. In some cases, mostly in children and the elderly, there can be extreme reactions that can cause people to die. How can you tell you’ve been stung? The area stung tends to become very itchy, followed by intense pain in the area affected. After a few minutes skin will appear red which can in some cases lead to infections, and ulcers. Is there any aftercare treatment? You have to keep the affected area clean and cool for several days after being stung to avoid infections. As long as there are no major reactions, the effects of the sting should only last a few days. Do treatment myths,
such as urinating on the sting, work? No, urinating on the affected area is unlikely to help. In fact, pouring vinegar over the sting is more helpful as it is proven to help prevent further nematocyst discharge. It does not however, provide pain relief. Fresh water also worsens symptoms, so make sure to use salt water to relieve pain, but only once the tentacles have been removed using tweezers. DO NOT scrape them off, as this can push parts of the tentacle further into the skin, causing more pain. Soaking the affected area in hot water also helps reduce pain and inflammation. If there are any severe symptoms, or if a large or sensitive area of the body has been stung, such as the face or genitals, call emergency services for treatment.

Pain that doesn’t get better By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com I’VE written a few times now about nerve pain and how it confuses treatment. The problems with nerve pain are: 1. Identifying it 2. Finding the root cause And this is why you can be having the best tennis/golfers elbow treatment, the best carpal tunnel treatment, the best knee and leg pain treatment with no effect. Because it’s actually a problem with the nerve supplying that area not that area itself. The pain comes from somewhere else. So how do we find that critical ‘somewhere else’? Finding the root cause of pain So, if the pain isn’t coming from where you feel it how do we find it?
1. A thorough clinical, physical assessment - checking not just the painful area but also the areas that can refer pain. This takes a while! 2. Talking to you! I’ve listed before various symptoms which give critical clues that the pain is related to nerves not the location - it jumps/moves, tingling, pins and needles, sharp or searing (for more information see my previous articles on my blog – www.TheBodyworksClinic.co m/blog)
NERVE PAIN: Confusing.
Now a key tool in all of this is a system called Dermatomes. So what’s a Dermatome? A dermatome is an area of skin that is mainly supplied by a single spinal nerve. There are 30 in total, one for each squishy disc between the bony discs of the spine. And they follow a general pattern. So if all your pain keeps jumping about in a specific area, or you get tingling or pins and needles across a certain part, breathing difficulties, loss of sensation or a feeling of cold in a particular body part, even a rash, we check to see if these correspond to a dermatome. Then we can use that to identify the nerve affected and check the spine. So they are an amazingly useful diagnostic tool to identify the root cause of those difficult to treat nerve pain issues. Because if we treat the root cause the symptoms go away.

Everyone loves a good barbecue BONO BEACH in Marbella is reintroducing last year’s very successful Barbecue Night every Thursday, starting tonight with guest performer Janet Jaye from the UK. Sitting by the sea, relaxing and enjoying the cool breezes whilst sipping a very welcome cocktail and sensing the enticing aroma of barbecued meat and fish is an attractive option, especially when you are in the exceptional surroundings of Bono Beach. The chefs at this superb beach bar and club have looked to South America in order to select the style and form of the tastiest barbecues and in Argentina, the barbecue is as much a work of art as a means of cooking a meal. At Bono Beach they believe in this concept but have added their own special touches in order to incorporate a hint of eastern quality by way of starters including delicious Indonesian satay chicken. Main courses will be heavy on steak and ribs but there will also be some fine lobster as well as much more including fish, chicken and a vegetarian option sup-
ported by grilled corn on the cob, coleslaw and potatoes. Every Thursday there will be a great live artist, many of whom are also playing on other nights at Puerto Banus nightclub JoysLive and customers will be encouraged to enjoy the music as well as everything else that Bono Beach has to offer. Visit www.bonobeachmar bella.com to view the entire menu, to see who is playing each week and to make your reservation which is strongly recommended based on last year’s success. Alternatively call 952 839 236 to confirm your reservation directly.

Bonanza Bar is back with a Grand Opening Party THERE has been much talk on social media about the reopening of the Bonanza Bar which has always been something of a legend in Benalmadena. The official Grand Opening Party takes places this Saturday starting at 8pm and all are welcome to enjoy a glass of cava and canapĂŠs whilst enjoying some great sounds, both from resident compere and DJ Chris King and two tremendous live acts all free of charge. Many will fondly remember that John Springate has been a regular performer at the venue and he returns to present his Glam Rock Revue. Not so many people will perhaps realise that he was a long standing member of The Glitter Band which had numerous hits both supporting Gary Glitter and in their own right. John was the bass player and singer until 1980 when he left to concentrate on song writing and production but has since reformed the band with original drummer Pete Phipps, but for this performance he will be featuring songs from various artists such as Mud, Sweet and T Rex as well as his own Glitter Band. Also on the bill will be the popular and talented Legends of Motown who expertly deliver a range of the most popular songs from the Motor Town (Motown) Detroit as so many incredible artists were signed by legendary
John Springate in performance. record company owner Berry Gordy. Over the years, he discovered a number of the greatest soul artists of all time including the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, Jimmy Ruffin, the Contours, the Four Tops, Gladys Knight & the Pips, the Commodores, Martha and the Vandellas, Stevie Wonder and the Jackson 5, many of whom will be represented on Saturday night. Entertainment will be assured every night at the Bonanza Bar but it is also open from 10am until late Tuesday to Sunday with an outside terrace with food available, but the owners stress that despite the entertainment and the
great surroundings, prices for drinks are the same as in a normal bar. Special arrangements have been made to take care of disabled guests and in this extremely hot weather the air-conditioning will be especially welcome. If you remember the Bonanza Bar named after Bonanza Square in which it is situated - from before or just want to try out this new addition to the Benalmadena leisure scene then the Grand Opening Party promises to be a great night out with some exceptional entertainment.

The Festival Terral highlights traditional music from different parts of the world and the full list of participants can be viewed at www.teatrocer vantes.com. Salif Keita, known as the ‘Golden Voice of Africa’ was born in Mali in 1949 to a royal family but due to his albinism - considered to be a sign of extreme bad luck - was disowned by his family and then upset them again by becoming a musician. In order to find the fame and acceptance that he wanted, he moved first to the Ivory Coast and then to Europe where he educated a generation interested in World Music to the combination of West African rhythms, soul and rock music. With 20 albums released and now considered one of the very best African performers and singers, he brings his voice and six-piece band to Malaga on Monday July 3 at 8.30pm with

Festival Terral highlights music from different parts of the world. In contrast, Rachid Taha who was born in Algeria but lives in France is described as a bit of a punk combining rock, electronic music and traditional rai to produce a sound that crosses barriers between Algeria and France. In the early days he bumped
into punk band the Clash and gave them a tape of his music and heard nothing back from them, although he suggests that their song Rock the Casbah showed that they had listened to his music. Since that time, he has worked with members of the Clash and played his translated version Rock El Casbah with numerous western performers. It won’t be a gentle night at 8.30pm on Friday July 7 but with tickets costing from €11 to €32 it should be one worth remembering as he sings with his five-piece band.

He has been sentenced to six months in prison after admitting conspiracy to hack the chef’s computer systems after he was sacked from his role as chief executive of Gordon Ramsay Holdings. Hutcheson Snr, 69, and his sons, Adam Hutcheson, 47, and Chris Hutcheson Jr, 37, admitted a scheme to hack into Gordon Ramsay Holdings (GRHL) between October 23, 2010 and March 31, 2011. The two sons were given four-month jail terms, suspended for two years.

It’s in the bag
WHICH TYPE OF PLASTIC CAUSES THE MOST PROBLEMS? MUCH IS MADE about plastic bags and the charges made by supermarkets and other retail outlets. I have never quite understood why such a fuss is made solely about plastic bags. A far greater quantity of plastic is used for packaging. Just about everything in a supermarket comes with a polystyrene type base - covered in plastic film. Other items come packed in sealed plastic bags such as bacon, ham, smoked salmon and the like. Not to mention the small plastic bags for your vegetables and fruit! What happens to all this? But that’s nothing compared to things purchased in a hardware store. Rigid plastic packaging that are lethal to open. The same applies in auto accessory shops and toy stores. And don’t let us forget plastic water bottles, oil bottles and even in garages with all the oils, liquids etc all in hard plastic containers. All in all, far greater amounts, than plastic bags. So unless there is a levy to the manufacturers on these containers, then the plastic bag seems to be the only plastic for which there is a charge. There is a difference between the types of plastic of course. The rigid stuff (water bottles, containers etc) can be recycled - hence the reason for our yellow bins. So what happens to the two cent charge in Spain or the 5p charge in the UK. In the UK the amount of plastic bag usage has gone down by 85 per cent since the introduction of the charge which is pretty impressive. But the UK government made £18 million from this, because 1p of the 5p goes to the chancellor the supermarkets, they then give some of the rest of the 4p to charities. Some as much as the whole 4p and others, a measly 1p. Which charities you may ask? I would like to think it was for cleaning up beaches and oceans! Here in Spain the charge is two cents. But that is all going to change next year when every retailer will be obliged to charge a minimum of five cents up to an eye watering 30 cents for a bag. Oh, and what happens to the hard plastic when it is recycled? It goes in to making rigid packaging… funny old world! Why don’t all supermarkets use brown bags like the United States. Destructible, burnable and free of charge!!
ON THAT NOTE I will bid farewell until next week and should aspiring restaurateurs need some help or advice, please do contact me. A toast to Good Food, Good Wine and Good Friends.

Ready for anything when you travel? Christina Sharp GLOBELINK INTERNATIONAL christina@globelink.co.uk.
WOULD your hand luggage pass the test for a trip-savvy, seasoned traveller? As millions of us grab passports and head for our holidays, it is a timely reminder that literally hundreds of thousands of baggage items go missing every year. Usually it’s because your luggage is checked onto the wrong plane. Fortunately the airline generally get it back to you within 48 hours. However, what do you do in the meantime? Our advice is to be ‘ever-ready’ when you travel and pack smart when it comes to your hand-luggage. It will avoid no end of stress if your luggage does decide to go on a trip of its own. Here are our Top 10 Essentials to carry in your hand luggage: 1. Travel documents and valuables
Carry essentials in an easily accessible separate compartment, or folder. Include passport/visa, boarding pass, reservations, all relevant contact numbers, cash, cards and valuables (including spectacles). Don’t keep all cash/cards in one place and ideally split it between you and any travel companion for added security. 2. Prescribed Medication Carry enough medication for at least two days in case your luggage is delayed. It’s a good idea to carry the prescription too. Note that you’re allowed to carry essential medicines of more than 100ml in your hand luggage, as long as you have supporting documentation from your doctor, or a copy of the prescription. 3. First aid kit Pain killers, indigestion tablets, anti-diarrhea, travel sickness tablets, allergy medication, anti-bacteria gel, plasters, small disinfectant cream etc. You can fit these into a small clear plastic travel/toiletry bag. 4. Toiletries
Basics, including travel toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, razor. Save space with travelsize items and keep within carrier regulations with liquids no more than 100ml. Add anything else that’s essential to you such as make-up that you really can’t live without (you may not be able to buy your preferred brand locally, or it could cost three times the price). 5. A spare set of clothes Trust me, this will save you no end of hassle if your luggage is delayed. Chose light and compact items. It’s amazing how small you can fold/roll cotton shorts/trousers and a t-shirt. 6. Snacks It pays to take some food and it saves you paying top prices at the airport. Chewing gum is especially useful as it helps with ear popping and is an instant breath freshener. 7. Mobile phone / tablet Helps stay connected and occupied during the journey. Don’t forget earphones. 8. Portable Charger and Adaptor
It’s well worth carrying these compact items as it could be a real pain sourcing replacements while you’re away. 9. Pen and paper Always handy and often overlooked in this digital age! 10. Travel Insurance We would say that wouldn’t we? Travel Insurance is a must and comes into its own if your luggage is delayed. Most Comprehensive Travel Insurance policies cover baggage delay, and Globelink is no exception. Your baggage is usually considered ‘delayed’ if you don’t have it after 12 hours. Baggage Delay cover provides a monetary sum to purchase essential items until your luggage turns up, like clothing, medication, and toiletries. Always get confirmation of the delay from your carrier and keep receipts for purchases. Do you have any great travel tips that you would like to share? Email me and we can publish the best ones next time: christi na@globelink.co.uk.

GARDENS
GRAEME TYRRELL FEW plants have the wondrous qualities of the Caper plant (Capparis spinosa). To ornamental gardeners it is sometimes called the Flinders Rose. The Caper ’s white petalled flowers with contrasting sprays of long violet stamens and just a single stigma are sweetly and delicately scented which gives them a unique appeal. Butterflies love caper flowers so
they are a good way to attract butterflies to your garden. But they are not usually grown just for the beauty of their flowers. They are mainly grown to provide the traditional Mediterranean delicacies of caper buds, caper leaves and caper berries. These are not the only advantage for the Mediterranean gardener who wants to enjoy their time in the garden without too much fuss. The capers are one of the best adapted plants to
PERMACULTURE EDUCATION SUSTAINABLE DESIGN Telephone: 666 33 33 35 info@permamed.org http://permamed.org/
grow in the Mediterranean climate. Once established they are about as hardy as a plant can be. They only grow to a maximum one metre high and spread to two metres. They will survive the long hot summers without needing supplementary watering at all. They need minimal pruning as they usually die back in winter, so they just might need clipping back to the stump in winter. Many of my neighbours just cultivate over the capers in their fields with their tractors but the caper plants return again the next spring. The caper ’s deep root system makes them almost indestructible so you might only need to be sure that where you plant them they can stay. Capers will also survive in the poorest of soils so any additional soil improvement

Capers - A Mediterranean wonder
FLINDERS ROSE: Beautiful flowers of the caper. is to help them thrive rather than survive. They can sometimes be seen growing in rock crevices and stone walls to demonstrate their strength as a plant. They will grow in full sun to partial shade. Traditionally in some almond-growing regions they are planted between the well-spaced out
almond trees where the sheep are used to keep down the grass and weeds. Sheep don’t usually bother the capers much as capers have spines to deter the sheep. If you grow them in a domestic garden you can find spineless varieties that make harvesting and caring for the plants much less
painful. The caper buds are the best known part of the plant. They are commonly served along with olives and pickles in Spain. They are also an ingredient in tartar sauce. Contrary to most fruits or berries, the smaller the bud the greater it is valued, so harvesting the newly formed buds when less than the size of a pea gives the best quality. Early morning before sunlight is on the plant is the best time to harvest. The caper berry is the matured seed after flowering, so the flower buds that are too big to harvest can be left so you enjoy the flower and can later reap the berry. The berry is more commonly used in Greek dishes (Mezze) as are the leaves. Caper plants are a great way to appreciate the wonders of Mediterranean gardening.
Robot takeover THE advances made in the last few years in household robotics have been unprecedented and nowadays there is a whole army of smart machines ready to help with your least favourite chores. Very useful for the less able and the lazy alike, these devices can save hours of time that could be sent in the Spanish sun. The unrealistic 1950s visions of humanoid metallic robots taking all our unpleasant jobs in their stride haven’t quite come true but the modern robot is built with functionality in mind and often looks similar to its human operated predecessors. The smart vacuum cleaner is the most affordable and useful every day robot and they often come with a range of different settings. Although lacking in power it can systematically clean the floor or use fitted cameras to plot the best route around your rooms.

The Rainbow Bridge poem
David THE Dogman
PUPPY-PROOFING your home protects your possessions from damage and your new pet from unexpected harm. With a little forethought and effort, you can make your house a safe habitat for your new friend while keeping your sanity and maintaining the relationship. Consider these steps. How should I prepare my home for our new puppy? Take the following measures: Keep all poisonous or hazardous items out of your puppy’s reach. This includes cleansers, gardening products, insect sprays, medications and any other harmful items. Puppies can be quite persistent; make sure yours can’t get to anything by jumping or nosing open a cabinet door. Do your best to make electrical and phone cords inaccessible. Research your plants. Many common household plants are hazardous to dogs. Make sure harmful plants are out of reach and that leaves won’t fall where your puppy can reach them. Make sure your puppy can’t access any dangerous areas. Consider everywhere your puppy can reach. Can he fit through railings on the stairs or on a deck and possibly fall? If so, you may need to cover the openings with chicken wire until he’s larger. How can I protect our possessions? Eager, active pups don’t have a concept of how expensive your household objects

Costa del Sol
THE real Rainbow Bridge is near Lake Powell, Arizona, and is a sacred Indian stone bridge. The legend says: Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All of the animals who had been ill or old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent; her eager body quivers. Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face, your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together....
are. Prevent accidents by: Removing expensive rugs and throws until your puppy is older and house trained. Moving waste bins, toilet paper rolls, tissue boxes, etc, that are within reach. Keeping children’s toys out of reach or in chests with latches. What puppy supplies should I have on hand? Prepare for puppy with the following: A safe and comfortable place for your puppy to sleep A crate/den/playpen for when you are out Puppy food, dishes and toys Cleaning supplies for those inevitable accidents Collar, leash and pooper scooper Plan ahead and be prepared for your puppy’s homecoming to make the first days with your new companion less stressful and more enjoyable. Let the puppy sleep in your bedroom for the first week in
his secured box and gradually move him to another room. Because you won’t need to worry about your possessions, you can focus on getting to know him.
Do you get this look? IF every year you find your dog’s look more intense as they see you pack your bags and suitcases, book a house-sitter to come and step into your shoes before you go away. Many people find dealing with the pets’ long faces very hard. They often just know you are planning a trip and their urges to ‘come play with me’
DAISY knows when we’re planning a trip.
get more regular and more intense. Holiday planning can be stressful enough without worrying that your dog is going to miss you, and perhaps miss their home if you are sending them away too.

Reptiles for beginners REPTILES can make excellent pets but can be expensive and difficult to care for. Some reptiles can be unsuitable for novices as they have very specific dietary and environmental needs, not to mention some can grow to an unmanageable size. There are however, some reptiles that are suitable for beginners, but they still require a significant investment in their equipment up front. Thorough research before deciding on one of these pets and getting your enclosure set up before bringing your new pet home is essential. The Iguana is not a great
choice due to their size, tendency to become aggressive at maturity and their specific dietary and environmental needs. However, Leopard Geckos are considered to be ideal for the novice as they are relatively small and easy to care for. With snakes, the biggest obstacle for many owners is their dietary needs. Owners must be willing to feed whole prey such as mice or rats. They do have the advantage of often only needing to be fed once a week or less so they can easily be left on their own for a few days without a pet-sitter.
Corn snakes and Ball pythons are usually easy to care for and docile so make an ideal choice. However, Ball pythons have a reputation for refusing to eat so a feeding demonstration may be required. Turtles are another option but it can be very challenging to meet the housing and environmental needs of most turtles (aquatic turtles and tortoises). Eastern Box turtles live in varied climates so they are quite adaptable. They are omnivores so eat both plants and insects. Unmet expectations and
poor advice about reptile care can result in a bad experience for the owner and can ultimately be fatal for the reptile, so make sure you do your research before bringing your new pet home.

We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736.

For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive.

NEW XC-60: SUV will showcase Polestar’s performance credentials.
POLESTAR is set to become a stand-alone brand under the wider Volvo umbrella. The Swedish firm is putting its weight behind the technology as it hopes to create a rival to Mercedes’ AMG or BMW’s M brands. At present, Polestar is mainly an add-on power pack option for Volvo drivers wanting to crank up the performance levels on their cars. There are engine optimisation options for certain turbocharged models and a few Polestar domi-
Plan B for British cars BRITISH cars are getting more British than ever, just as manufacturers warn a ‘hard-Brexit’ would be disastrous for the industry. The next two years of negotiations will be crucial but the biggest fear is widespread uncertainty spooking much-needed investment. The good news is, recent efforts to make the UK’s car industry more independent seem to have made a difference. The Automotive Council has revealed that 44 per cent of parts for British cars are now sourced from within the country, the highest level in years, up from 36 per cent five years ago. Production has shot up under the new laser-sharp focus on building British. The number of British built cars has risen by 72 per cent in under a decade while profits in the industry have skyrocketed. But, the progress faces derailment if the Brexit talks flounder and UK-EU trade relations revert to World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules. Chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), Mike Hawes, said “no deal is simply not an option.” He urged the government to work on a Plan B in case talks collapse and substantial tariffs emerge, all but blocking the trade of parts and materials from the UK to continental Europe and vice-versa.
“Our sector needs a unique, comprehensive and bespoke EU trade agreement.” he said, arguing that it was in everyone’s interests for the motoring industry to remain within the EU’s single market, regardless of where Britain’s wider economy eventually ends up. A fall back to WTO rules could seriously hamper the UK’s booming exports to Europe and force British drivers to fork out thousands more for cars built overseas.
nated limited edition models such as the S60 and V60. That all changes with the decision to make Polestar a “truly differentiated standalone brand within the Volvo Car Group” in the words of president Hakan Samuelsson. Polestar will be given ample marketing and engineering freedom to distinguish itself from classic Volvo styles and expectations. Polestar, in its new incarnation, will specialise in hybrid and electric high-performance
vehicles combining serious power with smooth green energy. Samuelsson envisions a near future where Polestar is a major player in a hugely competitive electric marketplace. Earlier this month, Volvo announced that some 100,000 cars have now undergone Polestar powertrain enhancements. In just a few days, the heavily hyped XC60 SUV goes on sale and is expected to showcase the latest in Polestar performance technology.

Motoring correspondent Ian Giles reports on the latest news from the Andalucia Classic Car Club, the most successful such society in the area and probably in Spain with over 600 members.
MOTORING
Classic Car Club of Andalucia
All change at the last minute t’s just like someone has thrown the switch…” was the comment of one CCCA member, referring to the way the weather had suddenly just changed, without warning, into that of a typical mid-summer hot Andalucia day. This was the weather for the day of the Club’s monthly classic car run held in June. It was indeed as if someone had thrown the switch and turned up the heat to high-summer levels. The June CCCA run had originally meant to start from Venta Peligrino, just off the Ojen road above the La Cañada shopping centre. The restaurant suddenly decided to take their annual vacation instead, leaving the Club needing a new start venue. Luckily, another Venta, Venta Barranco, which was only 150 meters further along the same road, saved the day and turned out to be eminently suitable for the Club’s needs. Very friendly people who really enjoyed having the CCCA there and provided very good food - especially their full cooked breakfast. Yummy! In fact, organiser Ian Giles had had to prepare a complete new route at the last minute as the restaurant picked for the lunch had changed their minds about how much they could offer lunch for, and upped the price considerably. Needless to say, that was not acceptable, and so another restaurant was chosen necessitating a complete new route! A wonderful collection of 40-plus classic cars had gathered at the start, which was not only very enjoyable for the participants but also for the many spectators that stopped just to
I
have a look at and appreciate these beauties. Spanish people are always so wonderfully enthusiastic when it comes to seeing these classics. It’s always a pleasure to show them the cars! Several new members turned out to sample their first-ever CCCA classic car run and some seemed a little nervous when presented with the Tulip Roadbook for the first time. However, this style of navigation is really easy and all were more than happy by the time they made it to the finish. Not one crew got lost! More drama unfolded as the cars left Ojen, heading for Coin, as the road was closed due to a horrendous car and truck crash that required the helicopter ambulance to land on the main road to rescue trapped drivers. The road quickly reopened and the route was then unaffected. The route by-passed Coin and took the new section of A-355 road, cutting out Villafranco del Guadalhorce, and heading for the A-357 to Zalea. Here the route stopped for its first break of
The Jaguar Enthusiasts Club NOT only the CCCA are busy with classic car events but the JEC (Jaguar Enthusiasts Club) are also putting on monthly car runs in a similar style to that of CCCA but for Jaguars of all ages. The cars, that is, not necessarily the owners! Last Saturday morning the JEC gathered at the Hotel Tamisa Golf to start their run which went to El Refugio near Marbella and then finished with lunch at Sheriffs Bar, on the beach just past La Cala. A number of CCCA members participated as they were already staying at the Tamisa Golf Hotel and were recovering from the CCCA Summer Ball which
took place there the night before! A few hazy hangovers were reported by some but all had thoroughly enjoyed this traditional, annual event. Food and wines were excellent with near 100 people enjoying all that and especially the entertainment from one of the very best performers on the coast, Johnny G, who kept everyone rocking, rolling and up dancing the night away! The next CCCA classic car runs will happen in July and August, but will be shorter than usual to try to combat the heat, especially for the bulk of the Club’s classic cars that don’t have the luxury
of air conditioning! In September, the Club celebrates it’s 9th ‘birthday’ and there will be a celebration party night at Treetops Restaurante in El Chaparral on Tuesday the 5th. The classic car run then on Saturday the 9th will also finish with a huge party at Avanto Beach Club near La Cala. The amazing rock-n-roll band, the Memphis Trio, will be performing live on the decking there overlooking the beach which should provide a memorable day out. That’s it from me for now, I’ll be back in two weeks time. Enjoy the photos on this page.
the day at the ever popular Bar La Herradura where coffee, much-needed cold beers, and tapas were enjoyed by all. After the break, cars headed for Casarabonela and then Alozaina. A very beautiful and enjoyable part of this run before by-passing Tolox and then Coin again. Another essential pit-stop was arranged on the Ma3303 at Barranco Blanco, between Coin and Alhaurin, this time to take on supplies of chilled Cava, essential to the well-being of the average classic car nut! The last section of the route came down from Alhaurin through Puerto Vaca and down towards La Cala where a first class lunch was enjoyed at the excellent Venta Jinete. It must be said that Venta Jinete have always provided thoroughly excellent food and service and is very popular with CCCA members. All cars made it safely to the finish and it must be said that breakdowns are a very rare thing on these monthly classic car runs, which is testament to the love and care lavished on these cars by their enthusiastic owners. The next CCCA classic car run is on Saturday, July 8.
Further information on Classic Car Club of Andalucia events can be found on the Club’s website www.cccandalucia.com. Membership of this vibrant club is open to anyone owning a genuine classic car here in Spain. Saca tu coche clásico del garaje y diviértete con el.

Lions ‘tamed’, win for England cricketers, Wimbledon looms Tony Matthews International Sports A former player, Tony is now the world’s most prolific author of football books with 150 published since 1975. He has also been a PE teacher and a policeman, and is now a quiz-organiser, fund–raiser, for various charities, and sports correspondent for Spectrum Radio. Costa de Almeria
THERE were mixed fortunes for several European competitors and teams over the last few days, including defeats in rugby, cricket, tennis and football but do not fret, there are many more opportunities coming up for all that to change! RUGBY UNION The British & Irish Lions lost the first Test by 30 points to
15 against New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland. The second Test takes place in Wellington on Saturday; the third and final one is back in Auckland on July 8. CRICKET England’s cricketers have once again beaten South Africa, this time by two wins to one in the T20 series. They won the first game by nine wickets at Southampton; lost the second by three runs at
Taunton and won the third by 19 runs in Cardiff. Dawid Malan scored 78 on debut in the latter game. It’s Surrey versus Nottinghamshire in the Royal London 50-over Cup final at Lords on Saturday. And the women’s cricket World Cup is now underway but England’s lassies didn’t start too well, losing their opening Group game against India by 35 runs. Their second versus Pakistan took place on Tuesday. And the ‘voice of cricket’, 77-yearold Henry Blofeld, OBE, a
BBC Test Match Special commentator for 45 years, will retire in September. FORMULA ONE Lewis Hamilton was battered, bumped, hampered and crushed by ‘Mad Max’ German Sebastian Vettel in last Sunday’s hectic Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull) won the race with Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes) second and 18 year-old Lance Stroll (Williams) third. Vettel, who finished 4th in Sunday’s Bacu race now leads the driver’s championship by 14 points from Hamilton (5th). MOTOGP Italian ace Valentino Rossi won last Sunday’s Dutch MotoGP in a very exciting finish, ahead of fellow countryman Danilo Petrucci and Spain’s Marc Marquez. CYCLING On Saturday, the 104th Tour de
France gets underway in Dusseldorf. Riders will cover 3,540 kilometres over 21 stages in 23 days. TENNIS Spain’s Feliciano Lopez won the men’s singles title at Queen’s club last weekend, while Petra Kvitova triumphed in the women’s tournament in Birmingham. And the ever-impressive Roger Federer is back to form - he won his ninth Halle title in Germany last Sunday. Wimbledon fortnight starts on Monday… and the draws for both singles tournaments takes place today. And GB’s Dan Evans has tested positive for cocaine.
FOOTBALL Ex-Dutch international Frank de Boer is Crystal Palace’s new manager and Argentine Mauricio Pellegrino, who led Alaves to the Copa Del Rey final last season, has taken charge at Southampton. Liverpool have signed exChelsea star Mohamed Salah from Roma for £34m. England meet Germany and Italy played Spain earlier this week in the semi-finals of the European U21 championship. And it’s Chile v Germany and Mexico v Portugal in the Confederation Cup semi-finals. ROUND UP Not too bad for me at Royal Ascot horse
race meeting last week - five selections two winners (including a 5-1 shot), one second and one third… and Irish supremo Aiden O’Brien was the top trainer at Royal Ascot last week - taking the title for a record eighth time. Team GB won a record eight medals at the recent European boxing championships. And the Gotland Games, which involves islands with less than 100,000 inhabitants, are taking place in Gutavallen, Sweden. Around 3,000 athletes from 23 islands are competing in 14 different sports. PETRA KVITOVA: Triumphed in the women’s tournament in Birmingham.
VALENTINO ROSSI: Won last Sunday’s Dutch MotoGP.
ENGLAND: Beat South Africa again.
By Tony Matthews THE Premiership was introduced 25 years ago and owing to the large number of young footballers joining the respective Academies at most of the top clubs, England introduced U16, U17, U18, U19, U20 and U21 teams - to cater for all age groups. Prior to 1992, England schoolboy, U18 (youth team), U21, ‘B’ and full international sides, and some years prior to that there were schoolboy, youth and U23 squads. There are competitions worldwide for each of these age groups… and therefore it gives youngsters a great opportunity to gain experience by per-
Young starters forming in all countries and playing against totally different
and unknown opponents. Some of course hit it off immediately… as they set foot on the road to stardom. Many of the current England squad including Dele Alli, Ross Barkley, Ryan Bertrand, Eric Dier, Harry Kane, Adam Lallana, Raheem Sterling, Daniel Sturridge, Theo Walcott and Kyle Walker all won caps at lower levels. CURRENT SQUAD: Alli, Lallana and Sterling.
