Police hold Saudis at gunpoint

No royal pardon The King of Saudi Arabia has vowed to stay away from Spain after police held his family at gunpoint while dining in Marbella. Armed officers stormed a luxury restaurant where Prince Abdullah, son of Saudi ruler King Salman Abdulaziz, was dining with his wife. They then swooped on a second eatery where Abdulla’s daughter, Princess Susu, was celebrating her 17th birthday. Prince Abdullah has complained to the Spanish Interior Ministry, describing “the humiliating treatment by police to my family and entourage in the Finca Besaya and El Ancla restaurants.” A Saudi Royal House member since the 1980s present at Finca Besaya said he had never seen police behaviour like it. “They treated us as if we were terrorists, pointing weapons at us, and Princess Susu, the king’s granddaughter, cried in terror. “King Salman no longer wants to come to Spain and will make sure that his children don’t want to visit Marbella either,” he added.

King Salman (inset) has often visited Marbella. “These people spend an average of €1520,000 per day when they are in Marbella. This is the type of tourism that they should be taking care of.” The police action came after a probe revealed four royal family security team members did not have professional qualifications. The National Police press department said both operations were carried out “without violence or intimidation… the Territorial Security Unit was pursuing an irregularity in terms of false security guards.” But this was denied by the entourage

member saying “the police acted unreasonably. “They asked for our passports and documentation without letting us explain while pointing machine guns at us. “The prince was dining under the watch of the security we have used for years, which include an ex-soldier and two police officers. A fellow diner at the restaurant said some tables left when they saw the police arriving: “We were eating dessert and thought there had been an attack or something.”

Fake claims crackdown MEASURES introduced by the British government have seen a reduction in fake sickness claims this summer, say Costa del Sol hoteliers.

By Matt Ford BRITISH cyclist Chris Froome is hoping to break his Vuelta a España hoodoo as the second week of racing draws to a close.

The four-time Tour de France winner is looking to become the first rider to win both the French flagship event and Spanish tour in the same season since the latter was moved to August and September from April in 1995. Having consolidated his position in the leader’s red jersey on last Saturday’s challenging stage 8 from Hellin to Xorret de Cati, the Team Sky leader opened up an even larger gap after winning Sunday’s stage 9 from Orihuela to Cumbre del Sol. Following a rest day the battle resumed on Tuesday with stage 10 from Caravaca de la Cruz to Alhama de Murcia.

SPANISH FACTS OF LIFE...27 On the last Wednesday in August, revellers in Buñol, near Valencia, bombard each other with tomatoes to celebrate La Tomatina - the world’s most famous food fight.

A fruity fiesta indeed BUÑOL, a small town just 38km inland from Valencia, has received global fame in the past few decades for hosting one the world’s most enjoyable yet bizarre festivals, La Tomatina. Thousands flock from all corners of the globe to take part in the city’s annual tomato fight, during which participants hurl over 100 metric tons of ripe tomatoes at each other in the streets. Before 2013, up to 50,000 people would descend on the town to take part in the festivities, dramatically increasing the town’s modest population of 9,000 citizens. In order to protect the town from over-expansion, an official ticketing system is now in place which limits the numbers to just 20,000 blessed par- THOUSANDS: Flock from all over to take part. ticipants. have hauled the prized tomatoes into the central square, FUN FACT: These days, the tomatoes used in La Plaza del Pueblo, chaos ensues and the streets turn into a Tomatina are usually imported from Extremadura where saucy warzone where it’s every man for himself. they are less expensive.

URBAN myth claims that the festival started in 1945, after a vegetable stall fell in the way of disgruntled locals during a parade and they proceeded to pelt each other with its contents. The next year, the same participants deliberately brought along tomatoes with the intention of starting a fight and La Tomatina was born. Although initially banned by the police, the residents continued to take part in the festival despite some even being arrested for doing so. When the festival was cancelled in 1957, the locals held a tomato burial as a sign of protest, marching a giant tomato in a coffin through the streets of Buñol. This unusual demonstration actually worked and La Tomatina was finally recognised as an official festivity. The festival has gained international recognition, and is now as famous as the Running of The Bulls in Pamplona - another outlandish Spanish festival. The festival has also inspired imitations in towns in the US, China and Colombia. LA TOMATINA: Has gained international recognition.

Police say she walked 4.2 kilometres alone at night before falling asleep and being hit by a train.

Speaking to the Sur, Mum Almudena said: “It is impossible that my daughter, Lucia, made this trip at night and without light.” Dad Antonio insisted that he would make the journey over and over until he finds out what went on. He added: “I may not have a career in police investigation, but I’m not a fool. Things do not fit. I just want to know what really happened to my daughter. “It is impossible for a child so small to walk all this way alone, four kilometres.”

More problems with Rio Guadiaro

A Triathlon event Clearing the mouth of the river Guadiaro. ONCE again the San Roque Council has to face the possibility for being fined having made the decision to dredge the mouth of the Rio Guadiaro. It faces a ‘Catch 22’ situation whereby in theory it does not have the authority to take this action

but neither the Central Government nor the Junta de Andalucia appear prepared to do anything to alleviate the problem. Once dead fish were seen in the river, the council decided that it had to do something in order to avert another serious eco-

logical nightmare, but it does so in the belief that it is not its duty but that of government following a 2011 agreement but the problem has been left with San Roque to either ignore the problem or do something about it. Local residents and en-

vironmental groups have themselves helped out in the past by digging channels in order to let the waters flow, but they complain that this ongoing problem has to be resolved and not just left to volunteers and the town council.

THE last of the major trophies being fought over at the 46th International Tournament of Polo Santa Maria Polo Club was presented by King Juan Carlos. Joined by the Infanta Elena and Juan Carlos Ruiz Boix, mayor of San Roque he visited the Sotogrande based club where the Ayala Polo Team won the Gold Cup by beating La Indiana by 13 goals to eight. The crowd of thousands applauded His Majesty as well as the winning team which recaptured the trophy after a 10-year hiatus. Mayor Boix expressed his thanks to the king for taking the time to visit Sotogrande which is part of San Roque and to compliment all of those who had taken part in and organised the tournament which is of such importance to the town. This tournament is recognised as one of the most important in world polo and ranks alongside the US Open in Palm Beach and the British Open.

THE fifth San Roque Triathlon which sees athletes swimming, running and cycling will take place on Saturday September 9. This event will centre on Sotogrande Port starting with a children’s aquathlon (swimming followed by running) in the morning with the adult triathlon taking place in the afternoon with both men and women competing. Those who wish to take part in the competition which has a limit of 250 competitors can register by visiting www.sanroque.es

with an enrolment fee of €20 for members of an athletic club and €27 for those who aren’t. The race consists of three parts with 750 metres in the water, 20 kilometres on a bike and a fivekilometre foot race. The land segments will finish in the Ribera del Marlín with athletes running through the whole of Sotogrande and swimming in the waters of the port. Last year’s triathlon attracted 187 participants and it is hoped that this year will see even more taking part.

Elderly residents enjoy boat trip EACH year, elderly residents from San Roque eagerly look forward to a day in Sotogrande where they have breakfast and then enjoy a boat trip. This year was no exception and 30 members of the local old people’s home were taken to have breakfast in the buzzy Ké Café before being helped on board a boat to take them for a leisurely cruise around the calm waters of the port. Members of the local coun-

cil attended as did a number of helpers from Civil Protection as they undertook the somewhat difficult task of making sure that those who were a little shaky or had difficulty in wal ki ng wer e abl e t o boar d and disembark safely. Whilst this is not an every day trip out, it is believed that the more that can be done to get the elderly to break out of repetitive routines, the healthier they will be both physically and mentally.

Russian Orthodox ceremony at Easter.

First Russian Orthodox Church for Andalucia AS the population in Marbella of Russian nationals grew, so it was agreed in principle in 2013 to build the first Russian Orthodox Church in Andalucia. Now, four years later, a decision has been made by the Church and the Estepona Council for an area of 6,000 square metres in the Arroyo Las Cañas on the way to the Selwo Park to be allocated for the construction of the church and a cultural centre. Originally it has been intended to build the church in the Azalea Beach area of San Pedro Alcantara where there are already a large number of

Russian owned businesses but local residents objected to the proposed building and the council appeared unwilling to do anything to help. Thus the reason for the move to a town which appeared more sympathetic to the needs of the Orthodox worshippers and plans are already drawn up for approval prior to the building being put out to tender as it is to be erected on a council site. There will reportedly be a 75-year lease on the use of the land and once the church is built it is likely to become an important meeting place for the local Russian community.

Do you have a mortgage in Spain? IF you do, then perhaps you have a Ground Clause or ‘clausula suelo,’ and you have been paying extra in your monthly payments for years that could amount to thousands of euros. During the Spanish real estate bubble, banks gave mortgages to practically anyone, Spaniards or foreigners. But tucked away between dozens of pages of legal jargon there was mostly likely a ground clause included. What is a Ground Clause? It is a clause in which some Spanish banks have fooled their customers by telling them that their loans are charged at variable interest rates, when really they have been charged a higher minimum interest rate. For example, the bank tells you that your mortgage will have a variable rate that will be revised annually, adding 1 per cent to the Euribor base rate. In the UK a similar rate could be based on Libor, but British lenders impose a minimum rate of 3.5 per cent, which could mean that you are overpaying by 2.34 per cent in 2016 alone. What is the legal situation with regard to the Ground Clause? Currently a Spanish case from the Supreme Court (and many others from lower courts) on May 9, 2013, has declared ground clauses void.

Despacho Jurado Grana Abogados E-Mail: juradograna@icamalaga.org Web: www.juradogranaabogados.com Must they return to you what you paid in excess? The Supreme Court of Spain says the overpayments made since May 2013 must be returned, but some lower courts are expressing their disagreement with this sentence. If you are interested in finding out if you have been subjected to the clause, and if you are paying more, we just need copies of the following documents: - Your mortgage deeds. - An updated mortgage statement from start of contract. You can ask for a free appointment in order to get a valuation of your case, you won’t pay solicitor fees until you get your money back, get a sentence, or we eliminate your ground clause.

ESPETERO GRILL BOAT: For cooking sardines.

CHAMPION: Jose Antonio Moreno.

Fish grill champion A COMPETITION has revealed the best espetero (sardine griller) on the Costa del Sol. Jose Antonio Moreno from the chiringuito (beach bar) Dieguichi, Manilva won the prestigious award by beating 30 other hopeful sardine masters. A quintessential part of Malagan cuisine, Espeteros cook sardines using large skewers or reeds across grills, boats or sand pits full of coal. The tradition dates back to the 19th century and the skills of ‘amoragadores’ (grillmeisters) have been passed down through generations. The third edition of the Espetos City Competition of Torremolinos followed the usual format

where each participant cooks two skewers, one of sardines and one of a fish of their choosing. These are judged on their uniformity, salting, presentation and quality of fish. Organisers, entrepreneurs circle of Torremolinos (CET), hailed the event as a success as it brought more than 1,000 people from the community together as well as the chefs. Miguel Leon Navarette of the chiringuito Los Leones of Torremolinos came second, with Nicolas Garvin Muñoz of chiringuito Carmen, Benalmadena, ranking third.

Burundanga story wouldn’t wash Photo credit: Serge

COSTA BLANCA NORTH

BURUNDANGA: Found in many Costa gardens.

A CAMPELLO delivery driver was charged with inventing a sham robbery to mask his own crime. The 28-year-old Spanish man who works for a drinks distribution firm went to the Guardia Civil, claiming that he was robbed of €1,000 after an Italian couple sprayed him with scopolamine. This drug, made from the burundanga plant and known as devil’s breath, overrides the will of the consumer who submits to the orders of others. It can cause sleepiness and memory loss, making it a choice drug for criminals and sex offenders. Although the man could describe the man and woman with Italian accents in detail he remembered nothing about their car and the Guardia Civil, made suspicious by other inconsistencies, contacted his employers who had been given an entirely different story. Checking the man’s route investigators failed to find any witness to the incident and discovered he had instead been fined for double parking.

Unlucky break A YOUNG woman has been taken to hospital suffering from a head injury. The 27-year-old on holiday in Cartagena was about to dive into the sea at Cala Cortina when she slipped hitting her head on the rocks.

Pound struggling, the euro steady Ask the expert Peter Loveday Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com

A FEW key factors have been driving pound, euro and US dollar exchange rates over the last month - with central bank monetary policy speculation and political uncertainty being the two main ones. Over the past four weeks the GBP/EUR exchange rate has fallen from highs of €1.1432 to historic lows of €1.1035, GBP/USD peaked at $1.3256 before drifting to $1.3020 and EUR/USD advanced from $1.1385 to highs of $1.1900. What’s been happening? While the Federal Reserve piled pressure on the US dollar by dwelling on low US inflation (leading many to suspect that the central bank will refrain from increasing interest rates for a third time in 2017) the Bank of England (BoE) sent the Pound reeling with its own interest rate decision. The BoE sent the pound to a 10-month low

KEY FACTORS: Central bank monetary policy speculation and political uncertainty. against the euro and drove GBP/USD from an 11-month high. While the bank was split 6-2 on whether or not to increase interest rates, its decision to slash UK growth forecasts for 2017 and 2018 was enough to dash hopes that borrowing costs would be increased soon and Sterling spiralled lower in the wake of the announcement. A lack of progress in the UK’s Brexit negotiations also limited the pound’s appeal. Meanwhile, the euro was supported by a

stream of upbeat economic releases from the Eurozone and comments from European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi. Hints from the ECB chief that policymakers will begin discussing the tightening of stimulus in the autumn bolstered the common currency, keeping it elevated against the pound and helping it achieve its best levels against the US dollar since January 2015. Over in the US, the dollar also had to contend with the fallout from yet another drama at

the White House. The sacking of Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci after just 10 days in office elevated concerns that all the upheaval will prevent President Donald Trump from making good on his promised tax and spending plans. What do you need to look out for? If ecostats from the Eurozone keep impressing in the weeks ahead it will up the odds of the ECB opting to reign in its quantitative easing programme in September. Good news for the euro, but bad news for the GBP/EUR exchange rate. The pound may also be pressured lower against the euro and US dollar if Brexit negotiations fail to move forward in a positive way. UK data will be an additional driver of GBP exchange rate volatility, with less-than-impressive results weighing on BoE rate hike expectations and leaving Sterling struggling.

AEGE which represents major manufacturers who use electricity in Spain has complained that members who turnover €20 billion could be forced out of the country. According to the recently appointed president of the association and president of Air Liquide, Teresa Rasero, electricity prices in Spain are so high that they are making major companies consider moving abroad to try to save costs and become more competitive. The 27 member companies between them employ 66,000 workers directly and a further 120,000 indirectly and should even a few of them look to close their businesses within Spain, it could be very damaging for the economy. In an interview with the Expansión financial paper, she explained that when compared to Germany, itself a major industrial economy, electricity costs in Spain are 30 per cent higher which means that business is potentially being lost. While the government of Mariano Rajoy appears to favour Spanish

electricity companies, even considering punitive taxes on those generating solar power, a plea to make the public utility companies reduce their charges is likely to fall on deaf ears. AEGE speaks with some strength as its members control 83 major industrial plants across Spain producing a range of products from chemicals to metals and steel to gas and account for 11 per cent of total electrical consumption in the country. Up until recently, the members were more worried about uninter-

rupted supply rather than simple cost but as the delivery of power has become more reliable, so prices have risen and unlike neighbours in the European Union, these companies receive very little state assistance. There has been some improvement when the market opened up to allow an auction system whereby utility companies were encouraged to bid against each other to supply power on an annual basis but AEGE don’t think that this is enough. Ms Rasero believes that with the need to produce much greater volumes of environmentally friendly electricity the government needs to introduce a coherent and harmonised policy which will ensure green energy in sufficient amounts at prices which are competitive when compared to other EU states. If this proves to be impossible, then she believes that Spanish heavy industry in particular will become less competitive and will have little option other than to move to areas where costs are lower and greater profits can be made.

Bank sale controversy THE European Commission has refused to release certain relevant documents to lawyers representing investors in Banco Popular who are trying to recover lost funds. According to a document issued by the CEO of one the arms of the Commission, the reasons given are that the release of the Deloitte’s report on the Bank as well as reports from the European Central Bank and Spanish Single Board of Resolution could hurt purchaser Santander. Part of the document states that the decision has been made in order ‘ n o t t o h a r m S a n t a n d e r ’s commercial interests’ and ‘protect the financial stability of the eurozone.’ This decision will not please any of those affected by the sale or those who believe that the Commision should be transparent.

VANILLA - most children love ice cream.

EWN online Join the conversation on our Facebook page

Prices rise for tasty treats VA N I L L A w h i c h w a s i n t r o duced to the ‘old world’ by Spanish explorer Hernán Cortés in the 16th century is the second most expensive spice in the world after saffron. The English name comes from the Spanish word vainilla meaning little pod (as its seeds are contained in a long black cylinder) it is used to add taste to a variety of desserts and ice creams, but the wholesale price has tripled to more than €500 per kilo in the last three years.

Although only native to Mexico, 80 per cent of the world’s commercially grown vanilla comes from the African island of Madagascar and annual sales of €550 million contribute 5 per cent of GDP to what is one of the poorest countries in the world. Don’t be surprised therefore if you find that your tub of delicious vanilla ice cream has suddenly gone up in price next time you visit the supermarkets.

A simple oil contract nearly caused a war in Asia WHAT appeared to be a simple contract between the Vietnamese government and giant oil Company Repsol has had a ripple effect bringing the communist state closer than ever to the USA. Traditionally, Vietnam has seen China as a natural partner in Asia and over a period of years imported increasingly large amounts of goods from China whilst exporting what it manufactured to the USA. The decision made by Vietnam in June to appoint the Spanish firm Repsol to undertake drilling in the South China Sea brought an immediate and unexpected response from China which threatened military action if the work continued.

Within a week, the contract was cancelled and the Vietnamese government was forced to pay millions of dollars to Repsol by way of compensation. This also led to a senior Chinese official cancelling a planned visit to Hanoi whilst the staunch Vietnamese Communist Minister of Defence flew to Washington within a matter of weeks for what were described as friendly talks with his counterpart in America. As the old guard in Vietnam age and begin to retire from power, it is clear that the country is moving towards a freer state with elements of capitalism creeping in, but those still in power are wily enough to only encourage the USA when China treads on their toes.

Are the kids of today ruined or not? LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT THE unbelievable hype and media hysteria surrounding the A-level exams has now become utterly ridiculous. Every television channel this year was completely saturated with students elevated to minor celebrity status merely for opening up envelopes, bursting into tears, hugging each other and jumping up and down. The mind boggles. Even though the authorities vehemently denied tests had been dumbed down, they did admit this privileged, often ungrateful bunch, have had the new test results ‘scored more generously.’ Oh, that’s ok then! Apparently with the revised method of marking authorities didn’t want to cause the students too much ‘unnecessary stress.’ You really couldn’t make it up. There are even websites advising parents on how to deal with the diddums who didn’t do too well. Advice includes relaxing techniques, compris-

ing meditation and exercise. They are also told to give them, ‘time to grieve’ and teach them rhythmic breathing. Parents are also informed they should be on the lookout for the signs of stress, ranging from sobbing through tests, ears turning red to losing eye lashes! And what is the result of all this almost beyond belief pandering of these ‘future leaders?’ Gratitude? Don’t make me laugh. Many of these sensitive little flowers actually see themselves as victims of oppression. One young madam actually insisted that because she suffered from anxiety and depression she should have been afforded special treatment and even allowed extended deadlines, because she was a ‘slow reader.’ If you ever wondered where the leftwing PC brigades actually manifests, look no further. The National Union of Students recently wanted to ban clapping and cheering because it ‘triggered anxiety.’ The hard on activists of the University of East Anglia took offence at what they saw as ‘cultural appropriation’ because a local restaurant handed out sombreros. Sussex actually wanted to ban the use of ‘he’ and ‘she’

as pronouns, because it made assumptions about identity. Another student body wanted to ban Jamaican stew and Tunisian rice because it created ‘racist microaggressions.’ Wha’? This leftie lot also requested warnings before being exposed to supposedly offensive books, such as The Great Gatsby (violence toward women) and even the Merchant of Venice, for its anti-sematic portrayal of Shylock. No wonder they all lean toward Corbyn and his policies of simpering, cynical appeasement. Mark my words, this diversity happy bunch, with their self-centred utterly misplaced priorities will one day, if they find time to look up from their mobile phones, find their women clad in burkas, living under the yolk of sharia law and witnessing beheadings on the campus. Never mind Jamaican stew. Let them see what happens in that scenario, when they try and protest that every TV show should have a transgender performer. ‘Er what television!? Heaven help them all.

Evil strikes at the heart of Barcelona - and Spain Nora Johnson

Breaking Views Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

AT a time when the UK media are going into overdrive with yet more speculation about who did or did not say what about Brexit, and what it may or may not mean, we have to take our hats off to the Spanish police for the speed and decisiveness of their actions in Barcelona following, just this year alone, terrorist attacks in London, Manchester, Stockholm and Paris. But Spain’s geography and history make the terrorist outrage in Barcelona not entirely unexpected. The surprise might be that Spain has mainly escaped the recent activities of Islamic extremists, its last major

Compared with Libya, Morocco and Algeria may be relatively stable but they also contain many unemployed, disaffected young men, vulnerable to an extremist ideology that, while condemning Western decadence, leaves open the economic attraction of life in Europe.

Hence thousands of migrants try to enter Spain’s North African territories, Ceuta and Melilla, to seek asylum. And later - like the Barcelona massacre mastermind, a convicted Moroccan imam - use human rights to avoid deportation. Terrorism won’t go away anytime soon. So what can we do? Try to minimise the risk. We need to alter our attitudes and our way of life. We need

secure borders and some straight talking by our political leaders who should drop all the PC nonsense, tell it like it is and get on with protecting not only our towns, cities and citizens, but our valued, civilised western standards. It’s time to allow the security services to compel phone companies and internet service providers to record and hold pro tem all conversations so they can be accessed at any time for ‘persons of interest.’ On a more positive note, thanks to all who have purchased my crime thrillers (all profits to Costa del Sol Cudeca cancer charity).

THURSDAY THOUGHTS By Angus Sylvie

Supermarket trolleys THE BEATLES were miffed with Sir Walter Raleigh in one of the tracks on the White Album. I know how they feel. Not about Sir Walter, but for me it’s Sylvan Goldman who has got me annoyed, but more of him later. Isn’t it funny how we often manage to find new ways of making ourselves look silly in the most innocuous of places. The supermarket for example. I firmly believe that there is a workshop somewhere specialising in making trolleys with at least one wheel that refuses to work. The number of times I’ve rammed the ankles of other, poor unsuspecting, shoppers with a trolley that has the accuracy of a guided missile but the social awareness of a two-year-old having a tantrum, are embarrassingly high. However, last week was the final straw and the one that made me curse Sylvan Goodman. Sylvan was the man who invented the shopping trolley back in 1937 so that shoppers in his Humpty Dumpty store could load up and buy more. Maybe things were quieter then but today, because of him, I’m nursing a bruised ego and a very sore toe! Unfortunately, I had one of those ‘I’ll go anyway you want, except forwards’ trolleys and as a result, after the thing veered suddenly left, I demolished a beautifully constructed pyramidal display of Rice Krispies. Needless to say, the boxes went Snap, Crackling and Popping to the floor, I was left red faced and in the melee, I was run over by my trolley. The injuries weren’t too bad, but it’s another example of finding new ways of making yourself look rather silly. Take my advice, when you need to shop next time - send someone else to the supermarket, or wear protective clothing!

Here’s the plan to save Triple A Marbella Moments by Nicole King I’M going to get straight to the point. Last week we learnt that Triple A, Marbella’s only animal shelter, is in dire need of immediate funds to cope with the more than 500 cats and dogs in their care. The mission is clear, our community needs to raise a cool €30k to bring them ‘up to date.’ Thanks to Susi Berman a Go Fund Me campaign ‘Help Save Triple A’ has been started with over €10K raised in just one week, but we’re not there yet! If you feel you too can contribute this is so very, very much appreciated as there is still another €20k to raise! But what can we do to ensure that they don’t have to face a situation like this ever again, let alone every month? Triple A needs 2,000 to people become yearly members at just €5 a month. Up until last week there were just 280. Thanks to our community waking up to the cruel reality that Triple A can’t cope they have had over

One little girl makes friends at Triple A. 70 new sign ups this week but that still leaves another 1,650 to go! Can you be one of them? Adopt a dog or cat if you can - All the cats and dogs in the rescue centre are photographed and can be viewed from the Triple A website. Virtually adopt a dog or cat if you can’t (€15 a month gives you personalised up-

dates, visiting rights and so much more). Accompany an animal to the airport or on a flight as there are often more international adoptions than local ones. Walk a dog on a Saturday - each animal needs exercise and without volunteers that’s not possible. This is a great way to help but also to meet like-minded people and make friends.

Donate supplies - Food supplies, blankets, towels are always welcome but bleach and cleaning materials and products are also important, as are office supplies. Donate clothes and items for the Triple A events to be raffled and auctioned. Go to the Triple A events which are always fun, a great way to meet lovely people and help an animal at the same time (many being organised ‘as we speak’ so watch the Triple A Facebook page for further details!). Help rehouse the animals by explaining to people that animals should not be bought in stores but adopted from rescue centres and shelters. If you wish to organise an event or contribute to Triple A from an existing event please contact Lily at Lily4TripleA@ gmail.com, she’d love to hear from you! We are an international community that will not be happy with the ‘obligatory’ dog pound, where animals are sacrificed after 10 days. We want a rescue centre, our internationally recognised rescue centre; but if we want to keep Triple A, make no mistake, it IS up to us! www.tripleamarbella.org www.marbellanowtv.com @marbellanow

Historical elegance

CULTURE AND HISTORY: The breathtaking city of Antequera. A ROMANTIC and elegant city, the first impression of Antequera is the magnificent view of ‘Peña de los Enamorados’ (lover’s rock) a magnificent mountain with the silhouette of an Indian’s face, set in a vast area of flat land with neat rows of olive trees. Folklore legends say that a young Christian man from Antequera and a Muslim girl from nearby Archidona held hands and threw themselves from the top of the mountain, as they could not be together. The ancient Moorish Alcazaba and its castle walls look down over Antequera. The steep climb to it is worth a visit, with views of the whole of Antequera. Archaeologists have uncovered Roman mosaics in the grounds below and right next to it is the 15th century church of Santa Maria, the first Renaissance style church in Andalucia. There are, in fact, 33 churches in Antequera, making it the city with the most churches per capita than anywhere else in Spain. A bronze Roman sculpture ‘El Efebo’ was discov-

ered in Antequera by archaeologists in 1955. It is 1.43m tall and perfectly preserved and can be seen in the local museum along with other interesting artefacts. Last year UNESCO named two sites in Antequera as World Heritage Sites; the dolmens and El Torcal. The dolmens are ancient burial tombs dating back to 4,000 BC and recently named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are three dolmens, Menga, Viera and El Romeral. Entrance is free and there is an information centre. A short drive up the hills just out of Antequera leads to the natural park of El Torcal, an area of curious, impressive Jurassic age limestone formations which are 150 million years old and one of the most impressive karst landscapes in Europe. In the past, the whole area was under the sea. Those feeling energetic may want to hike up the mountain. There are three guided routes: green, orange and red, the latter being the most difficult. Per-

fect for nature lovers and all types of birds, eagles and even vultures can be seen. Afterwards why not have a refreshing drink and traditional tapas in the restaurant. A few local delicacies include ‘porra Antequerana,’ a cold dish of blended tomatoes and bread served cold with one of their famous ‘molletes,’ delicious soft, white bread rolls, usually eaten for breakfast or ‘merienda’ (high tea). Gazpachuelo is a white soup with fish, garlic, prawns, potato and mayonnaise and for the sweet toothed ‘bienmesabe,’ literally meaning ‘it tastes good to me,’ an ancient dessert of Arabic origin, made with ground almonds, honey, egg yolk and cinnamon. Antequera, being the centre of Andalucia, is easily accessible by car from Malaga, Cordoba, Sevilla, Granada and Cadiz provinces, or by air from airports across both the UK and Spain. The nearest airport is Malaga, just a 45-minute drive or just over an hour by train.

Summer is a bummer WHEN I arrived here 16 years ago, Calpe was a peaceful town where city dwellers could escape the noise and bustle. It was a place suited to walkers, climbers, cyclists and those looking for a peaceful holiday with sun, sand, sea and a wonderful variety of bars and restaurants. A place where one could walk the streets safely. Now it is full of hotels with their own bars and restaurants, forcing many of the original establishments to close. There is the added congestion of traffic and people, and the tremendous noise of coaches at all hours of day and night with their engines running whilst stationary. Not to mention visitors who insist on getting drunk and those who wander around the town in bikinis. Flats have to be licensed in order to let them, so having family and friends to visit is increasingly expensive. The heart of the town has been destroyed! Those of us who live here dread the summer. There are plenty of areas such

HAVE YOUR SAY

as Benidorm, Magaluf and Torremolinos where the lager louts, all day English breakfast-eaters and those who think it is cool to wander the streets and supermarkets half naked are welcome. Calpe does not want them! Laraine, Calpe

AP-7 took its toll

Very fishy

BEWARE of using your payment card on the AP-7 motorway! My card was declined three times in the ‘fast pass’ lane. The green light came on each time, but the barrier did not raise so I had to go to the attendant. My card was handed over and the barrier opened, and I had an identical experience the next day. When I got home I checked my bank account and discovered I had been charged eight times for going through the toll gate instead of two. How I will I ever get that money back? Never, I presume. I later bought the Bip and Drive electronic payment system for €20 and have never had a problem since.

Malaga police launch mistreated animals operation CAN they also have a look at the treatment of the donkeys in Mijas Pueblo? I have seen some very disturbing videos of a donkey on the ground being kicked in the head and have seen for myself overweight adults riding the donkeys in very, very hot weather and not seeming to care about the way they are suffering . I know of people who are not visiting Mijas Pueblo any more because of the cruel treatment of the donkeys. Chris Jopp

Comments from EWN online Almeria man faces animal abuse charges ANOTHER one my god is there no end what has happened to the poor dogs. He should be staked out in the hot sun with no water or facilities and see how he fares... the courts do not take this seriously Bev Mcphail Eldred

Immigrant boats homing in on the Costa Blanca PUMP up the boats and tow them back. Or do the same as Hungary, put them into a fenced area which they cannot leave until their identity and paperwork are settled. Nobody suddenly wants to enter Hungary... Peter Sauer

King Felipe joins anti-terror march HE is a wonderful role model for all monarchs! As is our dear Queen Elizabeth but in a slightly different way! Eithne Kneale WELL done Felipe, a monarch who cares. Jim McClure

Costa Blanca illegal drinks sellers owe thousands FINE the people who buy the stuff. In Italy for example if you can’t produce a receipt for the goods you have bought, then you can be fined. This practice forces shopkeepers and the like, to issue you with a receipt thus making them declare their sales and pay tax Denise McNamara

Brit couple devastated over home demolition HOPE they get help from European Court Of Human Rights, this needs sorting out, these Demolition Orders are disgusting, not human. Vera Green

I HAVE just been reading your story on the condition of water in the Rio Segura (EWN Costa Blanca South Issue 1676). I would just like to add that I was recently out and about looking for places to fish. I was on the canal that runs alongside the Rio Segura at Guardamar, opposite the Marina. The number of dead fish I came across was staggering, and the stench was awful. The worst area was where the footbridge crosses the canal towards the Rio Segura, where it looks like a small dam has been installed to stop rubbish washing into the sea. Something doesn’t seem right to me. Steven Soanes, Alicante

Nude feud FIRSTLY I must commend Alicante Council for putting up beach signs for a nudist beach near El Altet to let people know that the beach is ‘clothing optional,’ but wouldn’t it be a good idea to have these signs at all nudist beaches in the area, so as to advertise these to the people who wish to use or avoid them? Unfortunately this will not extend to our local nudist beach at Calla Mosca as this might add support to the battle to protect the area! TJ Sawkins, Orihuela Costa

Stupid tax RE your story on the front page of EWN Costa Blanca North Issue 1677, why do the authorities fine the illegal street sellers/looky-looky men? Wouldn’t it be simpler to fine the people who purchase drinks and items from them? They at least have the means to pay. Make them cough up on-the-spot fines!

What will the next round of Brexit talks mean for the Pound? AFTER a break for the summer, negotiating teams from the EU and UK will meet again on August 28 for the third round of Brexit talks. Convergence and divergence in second round of talks At the close of the second round of talks in mid-July, both Michel Barnier and David Davis acknowledged the need to provide certainty for EU citizens in the UK and UK citizens in the EU. They stated that this will be a priority for the next round of talks. Shortly afterwards, the parties issued a joint technical note, showing a comparison between the EU and UK posi-

tions on citizens’ rights, which will be used to prioritise future discussions. Both parties claimed that areas of common ground had been identified. But disagreements remain on points such as how to guarantee rights, what rights future family members should receive and voting rights. It appears that further work is also required on financial settlement, Ireland and the future role of the European Court of Justice. The timetable for negotiations means that ‘sufficient progress’ must be made in these areas before discussions about the future relationship, including a new

trade deal, can begin. Brexit uncertainty puts pressure on the Pound During the second round of talks, the continuing uncertainty around the negotiations, combined with apparent divisions within the UK government, had a dampening effect on the Pound. Sterling came under further pressure at the conclusion of talks, amid speculation that British ministers might walk away without a deal. It is possible there could be more volatility to come as talks resume at the end of August. While the currency markets are keen

for certainty, Barnier and Davis have stated that incremental progress shouldn’t be expected from every round of the talks. But whatever happens next, HiFX has a number of options that could help to give you financial peace of mind during periods of potential currency fluctuations.

More rubbish

Guilty plea

THE Nautilus Project continues to run fortnightly beach clean ups with the most recent taking place at Rosia Bay. Volunteers, both young and old helped with this clean up and it was noted that the summer months have seen larger amounts of rubbish and marine unfriendly plastic collected from all of the beaches.

Tunnel fire

A FORMER employee of local chartered surveyors BFA has pleaded guilty to three counts of fraud at the Magistrate’s Court. The prosecution alleged that he had created false invoices for the payment for goods and services which were never supplied and he has been remanded in custody until September 12.

ALTHOUGH not considered too serious, a fire at the OHL airport tunnel access works required the attendance of the fire brigade. It is believed that an excavator and a generator malfunctioned, causing the fire but it was quickly brought under control. No flights were delayed and no injuries reported.

Two anniversaries for this year’s National Day

Avian tourism THE Gibraltar Tourist Board (GTB) exhibited at Birdfair 2017, which took place at Rutland Water in Norfolk to promote the Rock as a superb site for birdwatchers. The annual fair attracts exhibitors from all over the world and encompasses the whole spectrum of the bird watching industry.

THIS year’s National Day commemorates two landmark anniversaries for Gibraltar and will see thousands turn out on Sunday September 10. It was in 1967 that a referendum was held concerning sovereignty which saw huge support for Gibraltar maintaining its ties with Britain and then 25 years later, it held its first National Day celebrations. In the same way that turkeys don’t vote for Christmas, Gibraltarians - whose parents and grandparents saw the devastation of the Civil War and the subsequent comparative poverty if the Campo de Gibraltar area - who enjoy an extremely good standard of living are highly unlikely to ever want to be ruled in any form by Spain. The point of the celebrations which really run from the Gibraltar Music Festival this weekend through to the bank holiday on Monday and then to the official gathering in Casemates Square on

THE trial of an 18-year-old who had sex with a 13-year-old girl hinges over whether he knew her age at the time. According to the young man, he thought that she was older, but friends who are appearing as witnesses at the trial disagree, saying that he did know her age. These statements were supported by a social worker who knew both parties and it was suggested that the boy had even confided the fact that he found the girl attractive but she was not the right age. The outcome of the trial is expected shortly.

First sighting HAVING become aware in 2016 of the arrival of Tiger Mosquitos in Algeciras and Malaga, Public Health Gibraltar has been keeping a close watch. Now it has announced the first sighting of this insect which can cause viruses like Zika, Dengue and Chikungunya has been made and the authority will be taking action.

Peet Rothwell FLASHBACK: A banner at a previous National Day expresses view of most Gibraltarians. the following Sunday are meant to reinforce solidarity and to remind the world that Gibraltar is a nation rather than a colony.

There will be fun for the children, music, some speeches and fireworks as Gibraltar rejoices in its diverse cosmopolitan culture.

PEET ROTHWELL has been involved with La Sala Group for more than four years, often presenting his popular Michael Bublé Tribute and was a natural choice for Gibraltar. A classical singer performing styles from Sinatra and Barry White to Bruno Mars his charismatic charm can be enjoyed at La Sala Gibraltar this Saturday evening with no admission fee.

HM Customs spot smugglers OFFICERS of HM Customs Marine Section seized 10 cases of cigarettes and one rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RHIB) following an incident at Eastern Beach. Assisted by the Royal Gibraltar Police Marine Crew, the officers managed to force the RHIB and its two occupants onto the shore, where they abandoned the vessel and cigarettes and made good their escape. Land crews were also in attendance but as yet no arrests have been made.

1. El Entierro de la Sardina, Murcia A centuries-old tradition that may appear odd to outsiders, literally translating as ‘the burial of the sardine.’ Some believe it to have been created by students who wanted the Semana Santa fiestas to go on for longer but others claim it dates back to Carlos III having ordered fish to celebrate the end of the festival period. Legend says the heat made the fish go off and the foul stench caused them to be buried. The grand finale sees a giant paper mache sardine set alight. 2. Holi Run, Madrid A Spanish take on the Hindi festival, participants run through the street whilst being showered in coloured powder. The festival combines sport, fun, happiness, music and a plenty of colour. A five-kilometre race with no time limit where thousands are covered from head to toe with different coloured powder every kilometre. There are over 40 variants of this event throughout Spain but the Madrid version is the original and attracts the greatest numbers. The festivities continue all day until the climax sees a host of colours fill the sky. 3. San Fermino and the Running of the Bulls, Pamplona, Navarre Quite possibly the most world-renowned fiesta in Spain, bulls are let loose in the streets

LUCKY STARS

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Having been dashing about like a mad thing, you find this week a refreshing change. Only when you slow down do you realise how much you have been doing and just how tired you have become. There are some social engagements that you would not miss for the world, however.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) By using your intuition midweek, you will be able to solve a small problem at the weekend. Thinking ahead sometimes seems a waste of time to you because circumstances have a way of changing, but it makes sense to put in a bit of extra effort if you are able to avoid aggravation.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) A mistake seems a small thing until someone notices it. Although you feel that they are making a mountain out of a molehill, it still leaves a nasty feeling. Get out and do something completely different at the weekend. Not only will it blow the cobwebs away, but it will also put in perspective any negative thoughts.

As someone is not showing the required amount of interest in your activities, you need a plan. Telephoning them and pointing out what you have achieved is one way, but it's not cool. Getting a few people together and using someone else to blow your trumpet for you is better.

ed to be transferred from the fields to the bullring to be killed by a matador that afternoon, a practice which Pamplona still maintains to this day. 4. Fiesta de San Juan, Spanish coastal towns Not all Spanish may know about Guy Fawkes and the gunpowder plot but they do have an annual celebration involving bonfires. Though celebrated throughout Europe, the Spanish like to add a touch of fire to beaches and create a host of small fires along the coast each June 23. Unlike many Saints days which mark the death of a saint, the feast of St Joseph marks his birth. Dancing, singing and parties generally carry on until the early hours as well as barbecues and tapas. 5. La Batalla de Vino, Haro, La Rioja Each year between June 27 and 30, thousands of thirsty Spaniards and a healthy collection of tourists climb a mountain in La Rioja and spray wine all over each other as part of the celebration of the feast of St Peter. Locals start the party the night before, taking to the streets whilst drinking and dancing. They then ascend the hill during the early hours of the morning and cover each other in the sweet red liquid.

REINTEGRO

A business colleague may be less than honest with you. When it is a small matter you are used to them bending the truth. This is not, however, something that you will want to let go by, so stay on your toes. On the home front, you tend to be snappy with loved ones because you are feeling stressed.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Looking for answers? They are there if only you go to the right source. There is no 'quick fix' this week and you need to delve deeper to get the information you need. It will be tempting to take a short cut but,believe me, it will not be worth the hassle in the longer term. Once you have the right facts you are truly in charge of what happens next.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You are very much in two minds about how to deal with a personal situation. Ask yourself which approach will help and which will do nothing. Although you want to shout at someone and feel negative at times, hold fire.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Getting a romantic situation wrong could cause a humourous moment this weekend. I am not telling you this so you can avoid it. You could do with a good laugh right now. Planning ahead is your preferred method but sometimes it is the last-minute decision that brings the best results.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) The thing that you have to tackle this week is uppermost in your mind, but don't dwell on it. Write it down and what you intend doing about it, then put it away. Relax and get on with other things. When you do come to take it out again and face the situation it will be so much easier.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Imposing restrictions on someone else also imposes restrictions on you. Why? Well, you have to hang around and see that your wishes are followed and take further action if they are not. Wouldn't it be easier to find some kind of compromise?

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Avoid getting involved in other people's arguments. There is no way that you can come out a winner if you do. Taking a step backwards is sometimes the best thing. You have been down this path before, and did your intervention do any good? Go and trim the roses or sort out those rockery stones instead.

BIRTHDAYS

FROM the author of Meadowland, winner of the 2015 Wainwright Prize, comes a natural history of the Western Front during the First World War. John Lewis-Stempel tells the unique tale of British soldiers fighting in the First World War and the relationship they experienced with the flora and fauna around them. Bleak, desolate hours made up many of the days for those on the front, animals and birds were of great interest to many an officer and their ability to survive amidst a world of blood, bullets and explosions provided almost a cross species inspiration. Far from home, the animals and plants provided reminders of a world many a soldier may otherwise have forgotten. “What makes Where Poppies Blow so freshly moving is the picture it paints of the reverence, love and kindness the natural world can engender, even in the most hellish conditions” The Financial Times.

Small is not always beautiful Wise after the event

Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene

SMALL anti-system party CUP, which shores up the Junts pel Si coalition in Cataluña’s regional parliament, enjoys making political gestures. After the jihadi killings in Barcelona the party shunned Mass in the Sagrada Familia Basilica and the minute’s silence that followed because King Felipe and Mariano Rajoy were there. CUP does not have an abundance of voters - only 336,375 of Cataluña’s total franchise of 5,510,798 - but some would have been present at the minute’s silence if not Mass. Couldn’t Anna Gabriel and her fellow politicians have gritted their teeth as regional president Carles Puigdemont and vice-president Oriol Junqueras did by representing their party at events where respect for the dead outweighs politics?

ANGUISH: The aftermath of the Barcelona attack.

Alternative facts IN the immediate aftermath of the Barcelona massacre a Mexican television presenter referred to the arrest of a “Moroccan citizen, probably from Melilla which is Spanish territory in Morocco.” Speaking on Mexico’s El Financiero Bloomberg channel, he commented that another suspected terrorist had also been detained,

“a Catalan, judging by the name Carles Puigdemont,” who “possibly” came from Barcelona or Tarragona “or some other part of Cataluña.” The El Financiero channel later apologised profusely via the social media - where else? - for the impressively negative achievement of upsetting Cataluña, Spain and Morocco in one sentence without the excuse of a language barrier.

AS happened in the first anguished hours after the Manchester and Borough Market terrorist attacks, there were calls not to politicise the Barcelona carnage. Before the minute’s silence in the Plaza de Cataluña the following day, a woman began waving a small Spanish flag only to be told by those near her, “No flags! No flags!” Answering, “I’m Catalan” she put it away to general applause. But once the numb horror wore off, questioning voices were heard. The ideologue who allegedly radicalised the young jihadists, the imam Abdelbaki es Satty, should have been deported after leaving prison for drugs offences in 2014. Instead Es Satty appealed and a Spanish judge allowed him to remain, ruling that he did not threaten public order. Es Satty’s jihadi recruits, apparently off the radar, were seen near Paris on August 12, days

before the attack. They stockpiled gas canisters without arousing suspicions while Younis Abouyaaqoub’s inflammatory social media comments went unseen. Possibly there would have been more awareness of what was going on under the noses of the authorities if Carles Puigdemont and Oriol Junqueras were as interested in running the region as they are in running out of Spain.

It takes two to tango OSCAR PUENTE, spokesman of the PSOE’s Federal Executive Committee, said not long ago that there was collective responsibility for the Venezuela crisis. “A society does not reach this point purely because of what a government does,” he said. Agreed, it takes two to tango but it only takes one to incarcerate opponents and torture them.

Could a late meal be bad for you? THE Spanish lifestyle is known for embracing late meals, particularly during the summer months when it is not unusual for Spanish families to be seen dining out and eating after 10pm. Whilst they are clearly used to it, it may be more difficult for expats to follow suit and in fact, a study claims that changing your body clock and eating a late dinner, could have negative effects on the skin and make it

more vulnerable to sun exposure leading to burns and ultimately, skin cancer. A study by the O’Donnell Brain Institute and the University of California Irvine, in the USA, carried out on mice, has shown that eating poorly could have negative effects on the skin and make it more vulnerable. People who delay their evening meal would be more vulnerable to such effects as

Dr Mario Arques Jiménez.

Beauty after 50’s YOU’VE surely noticed cosmetic products are classified into age groups. As well as these articles the care you give your skin, hair, or nails has to be according to your age. After menopause, more attention must be paid to the changes taking place in the body, and therefore act accordingly. In your 30’s or 40’s you did not worry about using creams or covering imperfections but now you’ve noticed that your whole body has changed and that the skin is no longer the same as before. It’s not a matter of despairing, but adapting habits to this new stage in life. Why is it so important? During menopause, oestrogen levels drop, lipids and collagen are lost and the skin looks drier. I receive many women over 50 who want to know how to get a radiant and younger skin. In addition to the usual treatments I advise you follow a routine which includes cleansing, exfoliating, moisture and protection. These basic steps carried out daily or weekly are vital so that the face and other parts of the body don’t suffer as

much the ravages of menopause. Some beauty secrets and tips for mature skin Some beauty secrets and tips for mature skin I would like to share with you are: Know your skin: Do not feel bad for looking at yourself in the mirror. Discover yourself, analyse yourself, have a detailed report of wrinkles, blemishes, lines of expression or freckles. This way you can determine what you want to change and you will notice the changes made after any treatment. Do not abuse makeup: Wanting to cover imperfections with layers and layers of make-up is not a good idea. Increasing the amount of products on the skin will make you look older. The thick base layer ‘breaks’ where there are deep cracks, looking awful! Instead I advise you use a moisturiser and a liquid base. Use sunglasses: Doesn’t matter if it is winter or cloudy. UV rays are always present and can cause damage on your skin. In addition it would be good that you applied a high protection especially in the face.

LATE DINING: Could have a negative effect.

Are we better with the traditional roles? IN today’s modern world, more traditional male and female roles have switched and the lines blurred. Encouraging women to stay at work and men to become house husbands has become the norm with many advocating the role reversals, but is that they really the answer? New research claims that switching these ‘conventional’ roles is actually making both sexes unhappy. Researchers at the University of Illinois examined data of nearly 1,500 men and 1,800 women aged between 52 and 60. They reported that when females were the main breadwinners, there was an increased level in symptoms of depression with the opposite occurring in men. When they were the main earners, their psychological well-being was found to be at its highest. A man’s well-being decreased when they left the workforce to become home-makers but for women, their well-being was not affected by leaving their jobs to stay at home.

their biological clock of the skin is affected. This change can throw the daily cycle of an enzyme responsible for repairing skin damage by ultraviolet (UV) rays, out of sync. However, despite these findings, the researchers have said that further research is needed to understand feed patterns and UV damage in people , especially how they affect the pigment cycles.

Concerns raised over couch potatoes LAZINESS seems to be spreading almost like an epidemic as Pubic Health England (PHE) say they are concerned about the amount of adults who are doing no form of exercise. It is claimed that 45 per cent of over-16s are so sedentary they do not even manage a health-boosting 10-minute walk every day and half of adults do not even manage a brisk walk once a month. A brisk walk where the heart rate

increases and you can feel your heart pumping more. PHE officials claim there are six million inactive people aged between 40 and 60 who are putting their busy lives first and neglecting their health, failing to get any form of exercise. The NHS has long since recommended around 150 minutes of moderate exercise or activity each week, but now, such is the concern over the state of the health of adults

in Britain, people are being asked to do just a brisk 10minute walk each day at least. This, it is hoped, will be more manageable and attainable and help encourage more activity, warning that cancer, diabetes and heart disease await those who do not get up off the sofa. The PHE said the British population was 20 per cent less active now than in the 1960s, and the average person walked 15 miles less a year compared to 20 years ago.

Some 67 per cent of adult men and 57 per cent of adult women in Britain are overweight, a figure well above the global average and of these, 24 per cent of British adults (around 12 million people) are considered obese. A new app has now been developed called Active 10 to help people reach their 10 minutes of brisk walking. More information on Active 10 can be found at www.nhs.uk/oneyou/active10.

GOUT is a type of arthritis in which small crystals form inside and around the joints. It causes sudden attacks of severe pain and swelling. What are its symptoms? Any joint can be affected by gout, but it usually affects joints towards the ends of the limbs, such as the toes, ankles, knees and fingers. Some of the symptoms of gout include severe pain in one or more joints, the joint feeling hot and very tender, swelling in and around the affected area and red, shiny skin over the affected joint. Symptoms develop rapidly over a few hours and typically last three to 10 days. After this time the pain should pass and the joint should return to normal. However almost everyone with gout will experience further attacks at some point, usually within a year. What causes gout? Gout is cause by the build-up of a substance called uric acid in the

blood. If you produce too much uric acid or your kidneys don’t filter enough out, it can build up and cause tiny sharp crystals to form in and around joints. These crystals can cause the joint to become inflamed and painful. If a person has high blood pressure, diabetes and/or is obese this may increase their chances of getting gout. Having relatives with gout, kidney problems and drinking too much beer or spirits can also increase the likelihood of suffering from gout. How can you treat it? During an attack, placing ice packs and taking medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, colchicine or corticosteroids will help relieve symptoms. You can also prevent it through a combination of lifestyle changes, such as losing weight and changing your diet, and taking medication that lowers uric acid levels eg Allopurinol.

It had been a long time coming, but a good sized audience of rock music fans arrived at the Bull Ring last Saturday to enjoy three different bands playing the music that made the originals so popular and indeed between them, they still shift huge volumes of albums annually. Ian Grant, Estepona resident and singer with Deeper Purple put his heart and his money on the line to organise this special event which brought Whole Lotta Led and Think Floyd over from the UK together with part

of the Deeper Purple band, although guitarist Rob Sas also lives in Spain and sometimes gigs with Ian as well as his own band. It must have been a nervewracking time for Ian and his sponsors to organise everything and then hope that their widespread publicity would ensure that sufficient tickets were sold to make the event a financial success as well. All went well and those who attended enjoyed more than four hours of exceptional music produced by professional musicians who were more interested in presenting note perfect renditions of legendary numbers rather than dressing with wigs.

Freedom isn’t just another word By John Smith WHEN Dutch charity worker Arjan Erker joined the Médecins Sans Frontières team in Dagestan, a wild Russian Republic, he didn’t expect to be kidnapped. That however is what happened to this softly spoken aid worker whose car was stopped by Muslim ‘freedom fighters’ and after beating him up, they kept him in confinement, underground and alone for 20 months. Confinement After he came to terms with his imprisonment, he started to build a form of relationship with his captors who eventually gave him access to a few books which he read over and over again and to a backgammon board which became his constant companion. Eventually, a ransom of €1 million was paid by the Dutch government and the charity and Arjan was released and then had to adjust to returning to ‘normality.’ Having experienced the loss of freedom and the degradation and inability to doing anything about it, he vowed to try to help others who have been taken from their families and set them free. Free a Girl Arjan founded the Free a Girl charity in Holland alongside CEO Evelien Hölsken and Yolanthe Sneijder Cabau, the Spanish born wife of international footballer Wesley Sneijder, who previously played for Real Madrid and now turns out for Nice.

en-date tour which will see them hit Belgium, Holland and Spain. Demand for folk-infused European rock has grown in recent years with bands like Korpiklaani, Turisas and Ensiferum all growing in popularity, touring more countries as a result of their success.

Join in Operation Phoenix AN afternoon of combat will raise money for rebuilding. More than 60 participants from across Andalucia have signed up for Operation Phoenix, an ‘airsoft’ battle in order to help raise money for damages caused by a fire at Minerva Combat in the Campanillas suburb of Malaga.

The activity similar to paintball uses plastic pellets fired out of replica weapons. Organisers are encouraging as many people as possible to attend and have announced that 100 per cent of money raised will go towards repairs. Entry is €10 and it takes place on Sunday at Minerva Combat.

The band dress like traditional travelling gypsies on stage and delight crowds with their wild antics. Red Eye describe themselves as a stoner band with brushstrokes of psychedelia. Formed in 2016, the Malagabased group claims to blast out heavy riffs with minimal beats per minute in an effort to make the heads of their listeners leave the ground as they disconnect through the reality of music. With both bands set to bring a unique atmosphere to the Velvet Club, it will be a memorable night. The event is organised by Goetia Sessions and is on Thursday, September 7 with tickets priced at €6.

Hospitality? This is a crazy but true tale of one hotel What did my Nan used to say?

A TOAST TO GOOD FOOD, GOOD WINE AND GOOD FRIENDS W I T H G A R RY WA I T E

SRAEL has expressed anger to the Swiss government over a hotel’s sign that told Jewish guests to shower before using the swimming pool. The sign in English, at Apartmenthaus Paradies in the mountain resort of Arosa, triggered much criticism. Another sign told Jewish guests to use a refrigerator only at certain times. Israel’s deputy foreign minister called it “an anti-Semitic act of the worst and ugliest kind.” Reports say the hotel has now removed the signs. A photo of the shower sign was tweeted, after an Orthodox Jewish guest spoke about it on Israel’s Channel 2 TV. The Israeli interviewee told the TV: “The staff were really very nice to us. But one morning I came down and saw this sign. I was shocked!” ‘To our Jewish guests, women, men and children, please take a shower before you go swimming,’ it said, adding that ‘if you break the rules I’m forced to cloes [sic] the swim-

A chilling reception for some orthodox clients at the picturesque Paradies. ming pool for you.’ Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely said she had discussed the “anti-Semitic” case with Israel’s ambassador to Switzerland, who told her the signs had now been removed. However, she said those responsible should be punished, as a deterrent. Correspondents say the instruction to Jewish guests to have a shower touches raw nerves about the Holocaust, because Nazi death camp guards sent Jews to ‘showers’ that were actually gas chambers. The sign in the hotel kitchen said: ‘To our Jewish guests: You are allowed to approach the fridge between the hours: 10.00-11.00 in the morning and 16.30-17.30 in the evening. I hope you understand that our team does not like to be dis-

turbed every time.’ Reports say the hotel often has guests from Israel, some of whom are Orthodox Jews. The hotel management was quoted as saying there was “no antiSemitic intent” and “we have no problem with Jewish guests at the hotel.” Ruth Thomann, responsible for the shower sign, said her choice of words had been a mistake. She said some Jewish guests had gone swimming with clothes, such as t-shirts, on and had not showered first. As for the fridge, she explained, Jewish guests - but not other guests - had been allowed to use it to store kosher food. Someone’s in for a dressing down. Not good PR me thinks!

“MONEY find its way to money.” This must be the case with Donald Trump, as the Trump Turnberry hotel has received a £109,530 business rates rebate as part of an emergency bailout plan for Scottish hospitality firms. The rebate plan was intended to help struggling businesses in Scotland, but has been criticised for aiding profitable businesses such as Donald Trump’s Turnberry hotel. The payment, uncovered by the Guardian newspaper in the UK, has led to a 13.5 per cent reduction in the hotel’s annual business rates bill, which was £811,850. Opposition MSPs told the paper that the rebate was not intended for thriving businesses. Scottish Green Party leader Patrick Harvie said: “Trump’s brand is toxic. It’s bad enough that he has a business presence in Scotland. It’s galling to learn that the public purse is giving him a helping hand.” Labour MSP Lewis Macdonald added: “The Turnberry case highlights the unfairness of the current system and the urgent need for reform.” The news comes as the Scottish government yesterday published the Barclay Review into business rates in the country, which has made proposals including the cutting of the revaluation period to three years and suggested a oneyear delay before rates liability is incurred when a property is improved. Meanwhile, the US President Donald Trump has resigned as director of his Scottish hotels and golf courses, according to filings at Companies House. The documents show Trump resigned his directorship of Trump International Golf Club Scotland, which owns the course and hotel at the Menie Estate in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire, on January 19 - the day before his inauguration as president.

Imagine being able to play golf in your own back garden. He also resigned from SLC Turnberry and Golf Recreation Scotland, which own and operate the five-red-AA-star, 157-bedroom Trump Turnberry course and hotel in Ayrshire that he bought in 2014 and reopened in June following a £200m refurbishment. Although there was no legal requirement for Trump to step aside from his companies, presidents traditionally pass over their business interests to an independent manager to avoid any conflict of interests, which Trump himself committed to during his election campaign. Trump’s children, Eric, Ivanka and Donald Jr have retained their directorships at SLC Turnberry and Trump International Golf Club Scotland. Eric Trump is also a director at Golf Recreation Scotland. Somehow I think he may have renounced his directorships, but I can’t really see him handing over the reins completely can you? But why are the Scottish MPs really angry about the fact that he has invested money into Scotland. Is it purely that they don’t want foreign investment or have they just joined the ‘let’s knock Trump for all we can’ brigade! Some content courtesy of the Caterer and Hotelkeeper.

Hospitality numbers for Donald Trump

$288 million in income in the past year from golf courses alone. $37.2 million in income in the past year from Mar-a-Lago. $19.7 million in income through mid-April at his luxury Washington hotel. to $650 million the amount brought in, in employment assets and $600 million income - or maybe more. Nothing breeds success like success - maybe that’s why the Americans voted for him.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Are you allowed to speed whilst overtaking?

That’s not a serious survey!

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

I SPEND quite a bit of time watching TV and during some of the TV shows I watch are adverts. Recently I noticed one of them mentioned that, in a survey, 82 per cent of people surveyed thought this product was the best ever. Then I read the small print. It was 82 per cent of 67 people which is about 55 people. Well, in my opinion, that’s not a lot of people and seems to be a bit of an ‘I can’t be arsed survey.’ It’s like someone has tried to do a survey and couldn’t get anyone to stop and answer their questions. Even Family Fortunes managed 100 people! If you want to sell me something and convince me it is a fantastic product by telling me how many people love it, I want to see serious numbers asked - not a few falling out the pub at closing time. In other news this week Walnut Whips will no longer have walnuts on them and will be renamed. How can this happen? Well apparently walnuts have become too expensive so they are being removed from the top. For us oldies that remember there actually used to be two walnuts - one on the top and one on the inside at the bottom. They nicked

SPEED LIMIT: Depends on the road. MANY people are unsure if they are permitted to exceed the speed limit whilst overtaking and the answer is both yes and no, but mostly no. According to Article 51 of the Reglamento General de Circulacion, ‘The maximum fixed speeds for conventional roads which do not pass through urban areas may only be exceeded by up to 20km per hour by saloon cars and motorcycles, whilst overtaking other vehicles travelling at lesser speeds.’ This clause first came about to allow cars to pass a slower moving vehicle in the shortest possible time, allowing an increase in speed to enable the move to be carried out quickly. However, the rule does exist and does allow drivers to go over the speed limit, but only in certain circumstances. First, the rule is only ever applied to cars and motorcycles. There are also limits to the type of road it is applied to. It does not permit the speed increase on motorways or on dual carriageways so faster moving roads are excluded straight away. The clause also does not apply in towns or cities. This just leaves the

‘conventional’ roads, such as single carriageways with no central reservation and those roads that are outside of towns. The clause also does not apply if you see a speed limit sign as this limit overrules the clause. So for example, if you see a sign (which is called the R-301) that limits the maximum speed of a road to 70km p/h then the maximum speed is 70km and this exceptional speeding clause does not apply and you are not permitted to exceed the speed limit for any reason, including overtaking. So the circumstances where this clause can be applied are few and far between in reality as the clause only applies on a conventional road where there is no overruling speed limit and where overtaking is allowed. And remember, overtaking is one of the most dangerous manoeuvres we carry out. In the event of a head-on collision, our speed is added to that of the oncoming vehicle and so a crash where two vehicles are travelling at 90km per hour is the equivalent of crashing at 180km per hour when the two are combined.

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man

the first one out a way back and now the top one’s gone too and what’s the new name going to be? Whip? What’s the point of having it? Just stop making it. Now all it is is a bit of chocolate with a creamy filling. It seems daft to me. I used to enjoy me Walnut Whip and the whole art of eating it. The actual Walnut Whip will still be available, rumour has it, but might only be at Christmas at a much dearer price. I am going away in a couple of weeks to see a doctor in the USA about my very rare neurological disorder I have. There will be about 40 of us meeting up and will be having dinner at a couple of restaurants on a couple of the nights that we will be there. I’ve been there before and the place we are going to eat at is a massive gaff so I was surprised to get an email to tell me that I had till August 28 to decide what I wanted to eat on the two nights I’m going. It’s not like there are 400 of us. It’s four tables max and we are going to a place that does this for a living. I actually don’t know whether I want fish in a sauce or chicken in a sauce or meat in a sauce on September 26. But being the understanding person I am I told them what I would eat just not to be awkward, though I doubt I’ll remember what I ordered by the time I get there. This is my 100th Grumpy column.

GARDENS

LAVENDER is a must for every Mediterranean garden design to be complete. It is a native plant to the region and the naturally occurring species are perfectly adapted to the alkaline soils, summer sun and periods of low rainfall. This is a great plus for one of the most pleasantly fragrant small shrubs with natural oils that are very soothing and relaxing from the aroma emitted from the whole plant. The bluish to violet

coloured flowers are a rarer shade of colour for flowers and they are prominently displayed on long stems extending out from the plant for all to see. If you grow your own it is very easy to take cuttings and tie a bunch to hang in the house to make the home more fragrant. You can even dry some bunches briefly in the oven for potpourri and have the benefit of lavender scent permeate the whole house before setting out the jars of potpourri to maintain

its presence. There is a huge range of different varieties of lavender to choose from with the hardiest generally being the more original species but the newer selected and developed varieties provide a much broader range of colours and forms. The Spanish lavender, Lavandula stoechas, is my favourite in the ornamental garden for its wonderful scent but the English lavender (Lavandula angustifolias and hybrids) is best for the culinary herb garden. They love to be in the sun and become scraggly in areas of too much shade where the bushes do not thicken up enough to have dense flowering. To grow lavender, the natural soils being alkaline in Spain are ideal and just a few handfuls of compost mixed into the surrounding soil may be needed to ensure good

Lavender is a must for your garden

Lavender has a multitude of uses. drainage, some water retention and nutrients. Lavender do not like wet feet and too many nutrients promotes growth but fewer flowers. More lavender are killed off by overwatering than dryness as they prefer a dry environment and too much water encourages fungal problems. To keep the plant strong, pruning off the spent flower

heads is necessary if you haven’t already harvested them for use elsewhere. Usually this is done in autumn all at once as the plants flower uniformly and finish flowering at the same time so you can wait for the last ones to finish. If you wish to reduce the size of the plant it is best left until spring when the plant

starts to reshoot to ensure a quick recovery from the pruning. Normally you should only cut about one third to a half of the plant each season. If you want to grow them in containers. choose a compact variety. Use a welldrained potting mix with at least 10 per cent sand or fine gravel added. If growing them alone in a container, make the container a minimal size larger than the root ball as excessive pot space invites fungus to move in. Make sure the container is placed where there is sunlight and if using a drip tray elevate the pot or container a little in the tray so that it does not sit in the excess water. Lavender provides the ideal atmosphere for relaxing, diddling around and enjoying the Mediterranean garden.

When life gives you lemon balm

NOT many people may have heard of lemon balm, but everyone should have this pleasant herb in their gardens. Once named ‘Herb of the Year ’ by the International Herb Association, this plant has so many uses you’ll wonder how you lived so long without it. The plant is a member of the mint family and grows up to two feet high. In the spring and summer, the plant produces lovely clusters of small yellow flowers and it’s possible to detect the lovely lemon aroma by rubbing the leaves together. Lemon balm has been used for centuries for its many healing properties and is believed to help reduce anxiety and stress. You can make the most of the calming elements of this plant at home by boiling the leaves in hot water to make tea, or rubbing directly onto your skin.

Signs a pet is struggling in the heat - what to do THE Spanish heat can often be relentless in the height of summer and though experts advise keeping our four-legged friends cool, it is often easier said than done. One of the first things to do is to try and identify when your pet is hot so as to deal with the issue early. Cats cope slightly better with the heat than dogs but both show similar signs of overheating such as dizziness and stumbling when walking, vomiting, loss of apetite and excess lethargy. Dogs may tend to lift their feet awkwardly which can indicate the floor is too hot and action must be taken to avoid blistered paws. Cats can often seem restless when trying to find a cool spot, they may groom more than usual and can even get sweaty paws. A common misconception is that dogs and cats do not sweat because they pant but both creatures have sweat glands in their paws and a cool floor is always welcome.

Costa del Sol

Panting in cats is more related to fear or nerves than overheating. When they are hot they tend to breathe through their mouths and let their tongues hang out. Providing clean, fresh drinking water is always a must and chilling it or adding ice where possible will help cool the animal but don’t let them guzzle too much too quickly or they will lose even more water through vomiting. Avoid taking your dog out or letting the cat out during the afternoon and if leaving them in, if possible, leave windows open with the security grills across. Dogs with dark, thick coats will overheat more quickly but dogs with short, light coats can suffer sunburn. Trimming the coats of long-haired breeds can be beneficial as well as daily grooming. Fans and air conditioning are ideal, even if just for the initial cooling down. Never, ever leave your pet in a car in the sun because even a short 15-minute stint can prove fatal.

Acupuncture for animals

FOR years it has been medically documented that companion animals, like dogs, cats, rabbits and birds, help people live longer and healthier lives. Being responsible for caring for an animal often gives new meaning to someone who is living alone or who is far from loved ones. Pets can help elderly people keep an active lifestyle and may help fill a void left by living alone or away from family. For working families taking on a rescue pet should take into consideration that they have time for the new family pet. Children should be encouraged to help and go to dog training classes which are educational, social and really a lot of fun.

Pet companionship can be a health benefit.

Seniors may want to consider adopting an older adult animal instead of a puppy or kitten or rambunctious ‘teenage’ pet. Older pets are more likely to be calm, already house trained and less susceptible to unpredictable behaviour. Animal shelter staff can help potential adopters find the most suitable animal for their lifestyle. Seniors should not be encouraged to take on a large dog, many seniors take on a dog far too powerful for them, which become unmanageable. Obviously if you live in an apartment then you have a small dog. Dog’s lives evolve around odour; I always recommend bathing a rescue pet as soon as possible. By doing this you

wash away the old identity and allow the dog to get his new identity. Most dogs will roll in the ground to get their new identity. Take your new pet for a walk around the area of your street near your home as soon as you are able. This allows your new pet to learn the new smells of the area. Ensure that all doors, gates etc to the home are secure and that you have apart from a microchip a tab on the collar with your telephone number. Emotionally you will feel very sorry for the little fellow and often new owners can overdo the attention. Best not to smother the dog and keep in mind that now is the time to set the rules of your home.

Diving into doggy DNA Dog receiving acupuncture treatment.

ALTERNATIVE medicine has seen a resurgence of popularity in recent years, and it seems this growing trend is having an impact on the animal kingdom as well. Acupuncture has remained a popular alternative treatment for humans for some time now, but you probably weren’t aware of its growing popularity among pet owners too. Although originally introduced several decades ago, it remains uncommon for vets to use this practice, seeing it as alternative and unconventional.

However, in 2015 the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) and the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) put forward new guidelines stating that acupuncture is a ‘compelling and safe method for pain management.’ Many pet owners and practitioners are certain the procedure dramatically makes a difference to the animal’s lives, especially older animals or those with chronic illnesses such as arthritis. Research into the treatment has suggested that the pain re-

lief acupuncture provides is the result of a natural painkiller called adenosine being released at the point of insertion. The increase in popularity stems from clients asking their vets if there is anything to be done to reduce the amount of drugs their pets are given. While critics believe the positive results are nothing more than a placebo effect on the owner, many claim that their pets are able to live more comfortable, pain free lives thanks to the procedure.

A NEW start-up is giving dog lovers the chance to uncover their pet’s ancestry with its DNA testing service. The company, Embark, will break down your dog’s breed, traits and even put together a family tree; all you have to do is

take a swab of your dog’s cheek and post it off to them. Best of all, the tests could even save your dog’s life by outlining his susceptibility to genetic diseases and how you can fend them off.

The Suzuki Wagon R should be avoided, like unprotected sex with an Ethiopian transvestite.” Some might say...

Scrap battle begins by Matthew Elliott

FORD has joined BMW in launching a scrappage incentive scheme. BMW and Vauxhall have offered drivers a £2,000 discount in the UK to exchange older models for new, more eco-friendly ones. Ford goes one better. It is allowing motorists to exchange any brand of car or van, and get a discount on a new Ford model. The initiative is expected to be rolled out across Europe next year. Discounts will be at least €2,000, depending on the country. Only old vehicles registered before 2009

and which precede Euro V engine emission standards can be exchanged for the discount. Germany is leading the way in offering financial incentives to scrap polluting vehicles. In the UK flagging car sales have also inspired the offer, with

many buyers hesitant to buy diesel, and waiting to see how Brexit irons out. Ford has promised it will scrap all trade-in vehicles. There are almost

20 million cars on British roads that aren’t up to Euro V standards. The latest standard

is Euro VI, engines which emit 90 per cent less nitrogen oxides than standards I to IV.

MUSTANG: Get a discounted eco-friendly Ford by scrapping an old model.

Motor motivation FOOTBALLERS will be forced to drive a 23-year-old Rover Metro with over 150,000km on the clock if they put in a bad training shift. The novel approach to inspiration is the brainchild of Spanish coach Pep Clotet, currently in charge of English League One team Oxford United. Whoever puts in the worst performance at team training will have to drive the car, which has a British L registration and a few bruises, for a week. Though in the third tier of English football, first team players at Oxford United can expect a salary of at least £1,000 (€1,100) per week, more than enough to justify a flash new BMW or even a Ferrari. Let the games begin.

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher

Mini Countryman HOW big can a Mini be before it is no longer mini? Looks like the German owners of the Mini brand feel there is no upper limit, for the latest Mini Countryman is even larger than before and can now be regarded by many as a mid-size family car. With famous brand image and buildquality, plus increased practicality, the new Countryman is certainly going to please existing customers and win over a lot of potential new buyers. Six Countryman variants are available, all with the Cooper prefix, with different engine outputs spanning 136 hp to 228 hp, and there is also the option of a plug-in hybrid. All except the hybrid have a six-speed manual gearbox though there is the option of an automatic, and all-wheel-drive. To Mini purists, the Countryman’s exterior styling may look a little awkward but there will be no complaints about the larger interior space, which allows it to rival crossover models such as Audi Q2, Mazda CX-3, Peugeot 3008 and SEAT Ateca. Prices start at €24,753 (£22,695) for the model featured, the entry level Countryman Cooper with the 1.5 litre three-cylinder petrol engine and standard six-speed manual gearbox. Top speed is 202 kph

(126 mph), the 0-100 kph time 9.6 seconds. Fuel economy is 18.2 kpl (51.4 mpg). While this larger Mini is heavier than the standard car and therefore is not quite as nimble, it is still nippy enough to add a fun factor to the driving. The steering is precise and reacts swiftly, giving good grip and composed handling. The ride is on the firm side, but acceptably so and overall, noise levels are low and the driving feel quite refined. This entry model is well-kitted with alloy wheels, touchscreen, sat-nav, DAB ra-

dio, Bluetooth, air-con, cruise control, roof rails, auto lights and wipers and rear-view camera. Standard connected services on all models include compatibility with an iPhone via MINI’s Connected app. The larger cabin means four adults can travel in comfort, and five if the rear occupants are prepared to squash. The 40/20/40 rear seat fold configuration is useful for occupant and load variation and the boot space, up from 350 litres on the previous model to 450 litres on the latest, can extend to 1,390 litres with rear seats down. Interior materials have a quality look and the dashboard is lifted by chrome detailing, big dials and chunky switchgear. The overall impression is of classy durability. This new Countryman will be a hit with loyal fans and will convert others. While not as practical as some crossovers/compact SUVs, it has the bonus of a cool image and BMW-Mini build integrity.

MINI COUNTRYMAN: Larger than before.

China coy over Jeep takeover A CHINESE takeover of Fiat Chrysler is on the cards. China’s Great Wall Motors put the Shanghai Stock Exchange on notice when it announced interest in a bid for Jeep, a Fiat brand.

The largest SUV producer in China has since said that no formal talks have been held with Fiat. Although it has also floated the notion of buying out the biggest Italian car producer in its entirety, not just the Jeep brand. Fiat Chrysler is the world’s seventh biggest car maker and has a huge share of the American market, with a major presence in Detroit, Motor City. Chief executive Sergio Marchionne has openly expressed a willingness to welcome investors or even take-over bids as Fiat struggles to keep up with recent innovations. Great Wall is emerging as a

SUV manufacturer. Meanwhile, in China itself, Ford has entered into a partnership with Anhui Zotye to develop a new line of electric cars in what is now the world’s biggest motor market.

McGregor who was making his professional boxing debut. Indeed, McGregor delivered a crisp uppercut in round one and, though he edged close to breaking rules with several punches to the back of the head, he performed admirably without ever looking as if he would knock out the American who came out of retirement for a potential £230m/€240m pay day. McGregor earned £100m. When the fight was stopped, Mayweather was ahead on all three judge’s cards. MOTOR SPORT Lewis Hamilton won last Sunday’s Belgian F1 Grand Prix at Spa.

I SAID it last week, and I’ll say it again, over the 10 days there will be enough sporting action going on to suit everyone… with cricket, football, cycling, F1 motor racing, and tennis high on the agenda. FOOTBALL - Last weekend, Manchester United beat Leicester 2-0 to maintain their 100 per-cent record to stay top of the PL. West Ham, whipped by Newcastle 3-0, lie

rock bottom. Just above the Hammers are Crystal Palace who lost 2-0 at home to Swansea City. Raheem Sterling scored a 97th minute winner and was then sent-off in Manchester City’s 2-1 at Bournemouth… Liverpool outplayed ‘useless’ Arsenal to the tune of 4-0 at Anfield… Chelsea beat Everton 2-0… and the games between Huddersfield Southampton, Tottenham Burnley, Watford - Brighton and WBA - Stoke all ended in draws. Cardiff City - Ipswich Town, Peterborough - Wigan, Exeter - Newport County and Aberdeen - Celtic are lying first and second in the Cham-

pionship, Leagues One and Two and the SPL respectively. After Real Madrid’s 2-2 home draw with Valencia, Real Sociedad now lead La Liga ahead of Barcelona, 2-0 winners over Alaves with a brace from Lionel Messi, who also missed penalty. There are plenty of World Cup qualifying matches coming up including France - Holland tonight; Czech Republic - Germany, Lithuania - Scotland, Malta - England and San Marino - Northern Ireland tomorrow; Georgia - Republic of Ireland, Spain - Italy and Wales - Austria on Saturday; England - Slovakia, Northern Ireland - Czech Republic and Scotland - Malta on Monday
