NO DANGER: The fish in question.
See ya later alligator! THE discovery of a predatory fish in a Marbella park has sparked panic. It comes after a photo of the alligator garfish went viral after being circulated on social media. The species is native to North America and can grow to over 2.5 metres in length, but a biologist from Bioparc Fuengirola told the Euro Weekly News that it is not invasive in Spain and presents no danger to humans. Instead, it was probably released into the artificial lake in La Represa Park after outgrowing a home aquarium.

A Manilva expatriate is furious at the lack of aid he has received after flooding to h is p ro p erty co s t h im €60,000. Peter Fake, 62, lives in a bungalow in the picturesque Hacienda Guadalupe urbanisation, but his Spanish dream home is being ruined by water damage which rots his furniture and has caused a wall to collapse. Previous inhabitants did not report any issues but the property was vacant for nine months before the tyre store owner purchased it in 2010. And during that period a neighbour built a wall which has resulted in torrents of
Expat’s fears Drain ‘constantly floods home’ water streaming into his bungalow. Peter told the Euro Weekly News: “It gushes in through the bedroom, the whole house floods unless I shut the door. It can get about 20 centimetres high and the furniture ends up floating, it’s terrible!” As the seventh owner of the property built in 1984, Peter insists there was no previous water damage. He secured a Mayoral Decree to correct the problem
but when he started work, his neighbour filed a police complaint which resulted in a judge ruling against Peter and forcing him to stop. “The courts are deliberately condemning my property.” Peter has tried everything to solve the issue but is sick of being passed from pillarto-post with law firms taking his money and officials neglecting to aid him whilst his costs increase. He also lives in constant dread of rain.
He claims that all that needs to be done is for sufficient drainage to be put in place, diverting the water away from his home, but nobody will answer his plight.

Spain in crisis Catalan secession plans go on By Matt Ford CONFUSION reigns as Spain and Cataluña continue to sing from different sheets. Defiant Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont has repeated his determination to declare independence after officials claimed that 90 per cent of the 2.26 million voters in last Sunday’s referendum voted to leave Spain. It comes in the wake of a polling day marred by police violence which left almost 900 members of the public and more than 30 officers hurt. In a TV interview with the BBC on Tuesday, Puigdemont said he’d “act at the end of this week or the beginning of next.” But the Spanish government and Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy remain adamant that the poll was illegal and refuse to recognise the result or discuss the issue with Cataluña. Tensions remain high and

A NATION DIVIDED: Images from Monday’s strike and Sunday’s violence. thousands of Guardia Civil and National Police remain deployed in the region, as it yesterday emerged that Spain has sent military forces to “provide logistical support.” King Felipe of Spain gave a televised speech on Tuesday in which he said the Catalan regional government has tried to break “the unity of Spain” but
did not mention the violence or protests which have continued all week, including a general strike on Monday. And as the controversy drags on the European Union has remained notable for its silence despite Puigdemont’s appeals for Brussels to intervene. Rajoy may yet invoke article 155 which would enforce direct rule from Madrid on Cataluña, but Puigdemont said this would be “an error which changes everything.”

No fitting send-off for airline TENS of thousands of holidaymakers continue to be repatriated following the collapse of British airline Monarch. An estimated 32,503 travellers - out of more than 110,000 across Europe were left stranded in Spain, as the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) takes on the ‘mammoth operation’ of returning them to the UK. British consular staff have been dispatched to Spanish airports. CAA chief executive Andrew Haines said they “got off to a good start” having already got more than 12,000 passengers home. Monarch declared itself bust after it was unable to renew its Air Travel Organiser’s Licence, forcing the carrier to axe more than 410,000 bookings.

UNDER THREAT: The Tajo. THERE are over 1,800 rivers in Spain. Most are fairly short and only carry water during certain times of the year. Dry riverbeds are a common sight, and the Spanish government has been using pipelines in recent years to divert water from the north to drier regions further south. Five of the main rivers in Spain flow out into the Atlantic Ocean, and several, including the Tajo and the Duero, pass through Portugal before they reach the coast. Others, including the Ebro, have their estuaries in the Mediterranean Sea. Many rivers irrigate fertile land enabling crops including rice, olives, grapes and corn to grow. They are also used to power hydroelectric plants and in some cases transport.

Dry as a bone THE River Tagus or Tajo, also known as the Tejo in Portugal, is the longest on the Iberian Peninsula and runs for more than 1,000 kilometres. It rises in the Sistema Iberico mountains near Madrid and passes through Toledo before crossing the Portuguese border and flowing out to the sea at Lisbon. Few towns are built along this river in Spain, with Toledo being the largest, as much of it passes through steep, rocky valleys which are unsuitable for building developments. The headwaters of the Tagus are in serious danger of drying up due to a combination of climate change and pipelines which transport water to drier regions including Almeria and Murcia.

Four jailed after Russian mafia investigation By Kat Ashton FOUR members of the Russian mafia who were seized in Marbella have been sent to prison after appearing in court on Friday. As previously reported in Euro Weekly News, the men were wanted for their involvement in a €30 million
money laundering plot which involved two rival gangs. The arrests were made during several dramatic raids which saw officers descend on a luxury mansion in the Bahia de Marbella urbanisation and the Marbella Football Club. Eleven of the alleged conspirators were detained during the raids and po-
lice also confiscated a large amount of cash and over 20 high-end vehicles. According to the Andalucia High Court of Justice, the four detainees were all foreign nationals - three were Russian and one was Estonian. Alexander Grinberg, the owner of Marbella FC was among those sent to jail.
The other seven have since been released on bail, but have been banned from leaving the country and are obliged to appear before the court on a weekly basis. The men were investigated for money laundering, falsifying documents and were allegedly involved in drug and human trafficking.

The project is estimated to take at least a year to complete, and will cost around €1 million. The actor made the decision to use the Alameda following the Astoria cinema fiasco earlier this year. Banderas chose to abandon work on the council-owned building he had initially chosen for the project following the “insulting treatment” he received while it was still in development.

The Malaga native has always kept close ties with his hometown and has “been dreaming for too long” about endowing the city with a state-of-the-art cultural space which will benefit the community and attract visitors.
Catalan solution is needed now COMMON SENSE must prevail. And soon. The weekend debacle of the contentious Catalan referendum has increased national tensions and the situation now does not auger well for the future of either the Spanish region or the nation as a whole. Anyone in Cataluña who perhaps over the years naïvely thought that the State would just roll over and accept the move for independence once a referendum was planned must have a very short memory. For more than 50 years the nation stood up to ETA battling hard and violently for Basque separation. That failed, and if Spain was determined to fight that individual cause until a successful end, rest assured the corridors of powers are now just as determined. All the indications were on the table even before Sunday’s violence that so sadly for Spain saw almost 900 people hurt as police tried to stop the voting going ahead. Sunday’s vote was never going to end without injury, though fortunately there were no deaths. But there so easily could have been! Now both sides must sit down and resolve the issue already identified as illegal by the Constitutional Court. The two sides must look forward and resolve their differences for the future safety and security of both Cataluña and the nation as a whole. Maddocks’ view on life - Page 79.

Desperate appeal Mother and son cancer victims need help By Karl Smallman
JUSTICE: Council official Felix Romero wants Fernandez returned to Marbella.
Extradite him now! A COURT in Malaga has demanded that former councilman Carlos Fernandez is extradited back to Spain. As previously reported in the Euro Weekly News, Fernandez went on the run in 2006 to avoid corruption charges but was finally tracked down last month in Argentina following an 11year manhunt. Fernandez fled the country after being implicated in the ongoing Malaya corruption scandal that has seen almost 50 people sent to jail, including Julian Muñoz, the ex-mayor of Marbella, and his girlfriend, singer Isabel Pantoja. Fernandez is reported to have received over
€150,000 in bribes between October 2004 and February 2005. Council official Felix Romero stressed how important it is for Fernandez to testify as the public funds that were embezzled during the Malaya scandal have yet to be returned. Following his arrest in Argentina, the prosecutor’s office claimed that the crimes Fernandez is charged with had not expired and asked the court to “file the timely request for extradition.” The ex-councilman faces from two to six years imprisonment if convicted of the offences and a ban from employment in public services lasting from seven to 12 years.
A CROWDFUNDING page has been set up to help a family from Malaga, after both mother and son were diagnosed with cancer this year. Friends hope to raise enough cash so that single mum Amanda Edwards can take her two children, Abs, aged eight, and Jose, aged 12, on holiday to Disneyland in Paris to make special memories. Amanda was shocked when her son, Abs,which is short for Abraham, was diagnosed with two types of leukaemia earlier this year and then was dealt the devastating blow that she had breast cancer just months later. They have been going through chemotherapy together. The translator for expats has been unable to work due to her treatment, so the family have lost their only source of income. Amanda moved to Malaga 17 years ago and has typically helped people who don’t speak Spanish with hospital appointments, legal translations, and town hall administration. Her dad died last August after moving to Spain to be closer to the family. Adding to this hardship, Amanda’s sister-in-

Please help me help my best friend who has breast cancer and her little boy with leukaemia, have a better way of life and get their trip of a lifetime.’ Donors left many messages of support on the JustGiving page.

“They left him for dead” Expat mum thanks son’s saviour By Matt Ford AN expatriate mother has reached out to a woman who she is convinced saved her son’s life. He was attacked by a group of drunk, ‘well to do visitors from Madrid who left him for dead’ in a shocking incident in central Marbella. “I just want to say from one mother to another how grateful I am, because without her quick actions they might not have been caught,” said the relieved mum, who wishes to remain anonymous due to a court case launched in the wake of
the ordeal. “I also want to say thanks again to the National Police for their fast response in helping my son.” A s t h e 2 7 - y e a r- o l d headed towards a taxi rank following a night out with friends, he was attacked by two men and a woman. They pushed him over and launched a series of kicks at his head. The attackers then stole a bag containing his wallet and other personal effects before jumping into their car and speeding off, leaving their victim unconscious on the ground.
But an English woman sitting nearby in her car witnessed the brutal beating and immediately called the police, after first jotting down the licence plate number of the culprits’ car. Investigators were able to quickly locate the vehicle and arrest those inside, who still had the victim’s bag with them. He is now out of hospital after regaining consciousness and undergoing a series of brain scans. The case has now been referred to a High Court Judge in Malaga after an initial hearing in Marbella.

By Kat Ashton MEMBERS of Mijas Council have called for the removal of councilman Juan Manuel Muñoz for praising ex-Spanish dictator Francisco Franco on Facebook. It comes after Muñoz, leader of the right-wing Popular Party (PP) in the town, shared posts that included symbols of the dictatorship while excusing Franco’s behaviour during his leadership. The posts were later removed after a number of people criticised their content. Some posts seen before thier removal included statements including, ‘the Franco regime was not a dictatorship, but a regime of authority’ and the ‘prison population in 1975 was 8,440, and now it is more than 80,000.’ Members from the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in Mijas have since called for the councilman to

This is not the first time the border between the two towns has been up for debate. As previously reported in the Euro Weekly News, citizens complained when Marbella was granted the entirety of the Cerro Colorado archaeological park since the city’s historical terrain only covered half of it. The council rectified these mistakes last April but has now come under fire for a new amendment that grants a portion of San Pedro to Benahavis. A citizens’ group criticised the mayor for participating in and voting on the changes, even though they ignored traditional boundaries between the towns.

Arsonists arrested POLICE have held two people accused of intentionally starting fires at industrial laundry sites in Coin and Mijas. Investigators arrested the duo as part of Operation Molotov and charged them with two counts of arson. Officers investigating the incident were able to conclude that the two fires were intentional and had been started the same way. On both occasions, several hooded men jumped over the outer fences of the premises and sprayed the buildings and vehicles onsite with petrol, in order for the flames to spread as quickly as possible. One of the men, who worked for a competing laundry company, confessed to the crime after seeing the evidence that detectives had against him. He claimed that he acted because the laundry facilities competed with his business.

By Kat Ashton MALAGA Province is growing increasingly vulnerable to flooding as a result of human interference and climate change. According to a study by the MADECA Foundation, responsible for implementing action plans for Malaga Province, Malaga City is the area most at risk, followed by Marbella, Mijas, Velez, Fuengirola, Torremolinos, Estepona and Rincon de la Victoria. The region has suffered an increase in flooding in recent years, which the MADECA Foundation’s flood risk study puts down to mankind’s influence on the local environment and climate change. The study focused on the areas of the province most affected by flooding in recent years. One of the main causes of flooding in Malaga

regions have undergone a lot of intensive development making them more vulnerable to flooding, which often leads to catastrophes, and Malaga is no exception.” The MADECA study has recommended that the areas whose natural draining capacities have been affected by such development are supported by an artificial drainage system. Malaga Province is prone to flooding due to its natural landscape, which causes water to flow down to the coast from the mountains and also excessive deforestation that has impacted on the
natural landscape. Climate change is believed to have a big impact on the increased frequency and intensity of flooding, which is estimated to cost the region even more in the future. Reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) point to an increase in the frequency and intensity of floods. They estimate that the contribution of climate change to the economic costs of natural disasters will increase in the future because of the greater intensity and frequency of flooding.

Workers complained to the General Labour Confederation (CGT) about the “grave and distressing situation” after “repeatedly” complaining to local authorities and failing to even receive a response.

HORNETS and heatwaves are to blame for shrinking this year’s chestnut harvest in Malaga Province by 50 per cent. A combination of high summer temperatures and a recent hornet infestation is said to have had a serious impact on the trees. The Malaga Young Farmers Association (ASAJA) forecast that production levels will be down to two million kilos this year, compared to the average of four million that has been harvested in previous years. The weather over the next two weeks will have a huge impact on numbers as bouts of rain could refresh the trees and ease the process. In spite of efforts carried out by pest-control departments to combat the wasp infestation earlier this year, it continues to be a problem. The hornets’ larvae cause abnormal growths on chestnut trees which weaken them and leave them more vulnerable to other pests and diseases. But the pillonga, which is the main variety of chestnut grown in Malaga’s Genal Valley has not been affected by the insect plague and the harvest is expected to proceed as normal.

True devotion Local shelter gives dogs new lives and Sebastian, 22, and they dedicate their lives to helping abused galgos, or Spanish
greyhounds. “The biggest satisfaction is when they go home, although
it’s hard it’s also the best feeling in the world,” she smiles. Charlotte and family have created a true haven. At 112 Carlota Galgos there are no kennels, the dogs live in wooden chalets called ‘bays’ accompanied by soothing music and lights. Used to catch Iberian hares on flatlands in areas including Sevilla and Extremadura, tens of thousands of galgos continue to be abandoned or killed via cruel methods such as ‘playing the piano,’ a barbaric form of hanging. During their short working lives they are often kept in cramped conditions with no natural light and fed a diet of leftovers. Charlotte spends hours uploading photos and comments
to social media every day as well as providing therapeutic care using state of the art equipment, since the shelter specialises in the worst cases of mental and physical trauma. “I feel like I work 24 hours per day!” she laughs. “If we’ve got cases that are paralysed, for example, then we’re up out of bed turning and massaging them.” They often drive hours to collect dogs from Sevilla or Extremadura, and have an astounding rate of success in terms of rehabilitation and rehoming. “The typical cases we get are quite bad and they don’t leave until they’re ready. “They are one of the most forgiving dogs, they’re so gentle and exuberate love and I

By John Smith THE new hospital in La Linea de la Concepcion continues to be dogged by controversy as the old hospital is reportedly infested by rats and mosquitos.

Roads have now been asphalted and electricity connected but only the rehabilitation and physiotherapy areas and their
outpatients departments were opened last Friday and this immediately attracted criticism from the Cadiz Partido Popular who consider this to be a smokescreen hiding the fact that the whole operation is massively behind schedule.

very friendly club on the Costa del Sol, with members and visitors from Nerja to Gibraltar. Once a month the club holds a flower arranging demonstration when spectacular displays are created live on stage. They also have workshops for those who want to learn practical skills, visits to places of interest and special events. They have members of various nationalities but all meetings are in English. The €500 cheque was presented to a representative of Cudeca, Esther Ráez Martínez from the Communication & Fundraising department, who received it, while admiring the ladies’ handiwork. She thanked them for their kindness. All this happened at the club’s first demonstration of the ‘new flower, fun and friendship year ’ with the joyful Kate Kerr. The Club meets on the third Tuesday of every month from September to
June, except in December when they meet earlier for their Christmas lunch and demonstration. Meetings are held at Agro Jardin, Cancelada. Normally, people are recommended to arrive by 2.45pm for the demonstration, which begins at 3pm and finishes by 5pm. No prior knowledge of flowers or flower arranging is needed to enjoy these events. Guests may become members if they wish to attend regularly and enjoy a considerable saving over the year. Visitors are always welcome and do not need to be accompanied by a member. Cudeca Hospice is a nonprofit organisation whose mission is to offer specialised care and attention to patients with cancer or other advanced illnesses and to provide support to their families. Last year Cudeca cared for more than 1,300 patients in need of their specialised care, given free of charge.

TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT: Such as helmet, jacket and gloves cost a lot of money.
Protect your motorcycle clothing with insurance Technical Equipment A GOOD quality helmet and proper protective clothing are essential items for all motorbike riders. But technical equipment; helmet, jacket and gloves, can cost a lot of money. And if your motorcycle clothing gets damaged, in the event of an accident, they will need to be replaced before your next ride. Equipment Cover So it makes sense to protect your motorcycle clothing with a helmet and leathers insurance policy. Línea Directa offers an optional and complimentary service called Technical Equipment Coverage, which must be specifically purchased. How it works Línea Directa guarantees compensation for total loss or irreparable damage to the helmet, gloves and motorbike jacket of the insured rider. Compensation will be paid on a first loss basis and up to a maximum coverage limit of €430. This is divided as follows; motorbike helmet up to a maximum of €200, gloves €30 and jacket €200.
What is First Loss Línea Directa assumes the payment of Technical Equipment up to the limit of the amount indicated in the Special Conditions, regardless of the total value of the item and without any proportional rule applying if that value is higher than that covered. Once the capital limit has been reached, and in order to guarantee the items are insured, the capital amount needs to be replaced, via the corresponding premium payment which is calculated according to the time left until the Policy expires. Exclusions The following are expressly excluded from this coverage: Cosmetic damage, wear from normal use, theft, acts of vandalism, and misappropriation. Taking out this extra cover If you think about how much you spend on your biking gear, this extra cover will reimburse you. You can add Technical Equipment Coverage to your main motorbike insurance policy.

Animal Squatters held over kidnap thefts on rise
NINE Polish and Romanian squatters have been held by police and a young woman freed after she was abducted and forced to prostitute herself in Valencia. The sting was launched when the victim escaped from a disused industrial unit where she was being held captive.
She told investigators that a man had persuaded her to go there with him several days earlier. But once they were inside, he beat and raped her before making her his prisoner. He also allowed others to pay for sex with her in exchange for money which he kept.
A brief probe revealed that there were several others living illegally in the unit who were aware of the situation but did nothing, leading to the arrests of two women and seven men after police stormed the building. Four have previous criminal records, while the victim’s details have not been released.

Speaking from the UK Lynda said, “I heard about Monarch last night so logged in to my online banking. “The money was still there at 11.30pm so I went on this morning at 7am to cancel the payment but it had gone. “I rang the bank and explained that they had processed the payment after midnight and she said i t s t i l l d i d n ’t m a k e a n y d i ff e r ence, I wouldn’t be able to get a refund.” Ly n d a s a i d , “ I p a i d t h r o u g h PayPal so it comes out of my bank account.

The bodies of the man and the baby also had gunshot wounds, and a firearm was found next to the man. The events took place around 3pm Sunday in the Sant Marti district of Barcelona. Officers are now investigating
whether the incident was caused by domestic violence. According to a statement released by the Catalan police, initial evidence suggests that the husband killed the other two members of his family before shooting himself.
PET owners in Sevilla have received a police warning after a spate of dog thefts hit the province. Distraught owners were called from a private telephone number and told that their animals would be hung unless a ransom was paid. The majority of those taken were small breeds including chihuahuas and pugs. Investigators called several of the numbers on the notices, with the owners confirming that they had received phone calls threatening their pets and demanding that they pay to get them back. One said that his chihuahua was taken from the terrace of his home and that shortly afterwards a person called to “say that they had found his dog and that if he wanted to see it again it would cost him €250.” Detectives set a trap after arranging a rendezvous between the owner and thief, swooping to arrest a young man who carried the dog. He claimed he was merely delivering the canine and was freed after giving a name to police who have now held a second suspect, but residents have been warned that more dog thieves may still be at large.
A grave mistake FOUR workers at the Municipal Cemetery of El Salvador in the city Oviedo in Asturias, northern Spain, have been arrested by police for stealing from dead bodies. They have been charged with theft and desecration of corpses. It is alleged they stole jewellery, personal effects and gold teeth from corpses as the bodies were exhumed from niches and transferred to the general ossuary. It is believed their activities had been going on ‘for years.’ Officers from the National Police believe they would have profited around €11,000 from the sale of gold teeth and other effects.

ALERT to the fact that the Spanish economy might not be able to sustain further job creation in certain sectors, the Bank of Spain has undertaken an in-depth study. The results are that it seems that the creation of jobs in construction and hospitality may now slow down and that it is important that those who have a low level of education are not disadvantaged. Although tourism has been a great fillip for the Spanish economy, a number of North African countries and Turkey are fighting back.

EU loses out on VAT due VAT in Spain has dropped for four successive years and only Sweden and Hungary are more successful in collecting VAT. It is estimated that the total noncollection of VAT across the European Union in 2015 was €152 billion, representing almost 13 per cent of the total VAT due and whilst Greece is getting better at collecting the tax, Italy is the worst, losing €35 billion in the year, although the UK managed to ‘miss out’ on collecting €22.2 billion.

THE Inditex Group owns three of the top 10 most valuable Spanish companies which between them are valued at more than €29 billion. Zara alone is worth €25 billion and accounts for 25 per cent of the value of the top 30 Spanish brands with its nearest rival being Movistar with a number of banks following, but none of them coming anywhere near the value of the Inditex collective.
THE loss of VAT revenue in Spain due to fraud, tax evasion, bankruptcy or simple error in 2015 may be €1.12 billion or €2.5 billion depending on which figure you believe. The Spanish Tax Agency believes it to be the lower figure but the European Commission has published a study which suggests the higher figure. Whichever is correct (and the EU uses a different formula to the Tax Agency), it is recognised by both organisations that the loss of

there will be a drop off in visitors. In the construction industry, whilst there is a reasonable amount of activity, it isn’t anything like the pre-crash levels so experienced workers rather than apprentices are being taken on and with the amount of older property on the market and uncertainty over expatriate situations after Brexit, this could be a ‘false spring.’ The Bank wants to see a diversification in job creation as well as better educated students able to undertake more sophisticated work.
Numbers of wealthy growing THOSE with wealth in Spain are increasing as it is now estimated that there were 202,000 Spanish millionaires in 2016, an increase of 5 per cent. The recently published World Report of Wealth shows that Spain is 14th in the list of the number of millionaires and seventh in Europe, with Inditex founder Amancio Ortega being one of the wealthiest in the world.

German election result leaves EUR unsteady Ask the expert Peter Loveday Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com
SEPTEMBER proved pretty positive for the GBP/EUR exchange rate, with the pound rallying from a low of €1.07 to hit a 10-week high of €1.14. EUR/GBP, on the other hand, moved from £0.92 to £0.87, while EUR/USD dipped from a high of $1.20 to $1.17. What’s been happening? There’s been a lot going on recently to keep the currency markets occupied. It’s been a busy period for UK politics, with Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson causing a stir after reawakening the controversial claim that Brexit will free up £350 million per week to spend on the NHS. Theresa May also delivered a speech on the UK’s approach to Brexit, but markets were disappointed with the lack of clarity it provided. Meanwhile, the US dollar was weakened by political concerns (with military tensions be-
BUSY PERIOD: There’s been a lot going on to keep the currency markets occupied. tween the US and North Korea escalating) but later recovered thanks to an improving outlook for US interest rates. The US Federal Reserve stated that it will start to trim the balance sheet from next month and also indicated that it might raise interest rates one more time during 2017. The month was less upbeat for the euro, with the uncertainty sparked by the outcome of the German Federal Elections leading to a decline in demand for the single currency.
The election saw Angela Merkel retain her majority but lose her coalition partners the Social Democrat Party (SPD), meaning that there could be weeks of negotiations as she tries to form a coalition with minor parties. What do you need to look out for? There’s quite a bit on the calendar with the potential to keep GBP, EUR and USD on their toes over the weeks ahead. For starters, the euro will remain pressured to the downside until a working government is
formed in Germany. If this occurs more quickly than currently forecast, and if the government’s prospects for growth and stability are favourable, EUR exchange rates could bounce back. Of the economic reports due for release, inflation, PMI, growth and retail stats for the UK, Eurozone and US are likely to be the most influential. Any figures which support the case in favour of tighter monetary policy will be supportive for their respective currencies. Speeches from central bank officials are also worth attending to. If the Bank of England (BoE) hints that interest rates might just rise in November, we can expect the pound to gain. Similarly, if the odds of the Federal Reserve increasing interest rates in November remain elevated, the US dollar may continue driving the euro lower.

NOW YOU CAN BUY BITCOINS IN CARREFOUR WHEN China recently banned the sale of Bitcoin, the crypto-currency, there was an initial drop in its price which saw a quick recovery and it is now being sold through Carrefour. The initial trial will be run in 50 stores around the country and special Bitcoin cards produced by Bitnovo will be available to purchase so that the Bitcoins can then be downloaded onto a digital wallet for use or investment. This computer produced currency has been long associated with the underworld as it is not a physical currency backed by a government so can be transferred around the world via the internet. It has proven to be a very volatile ‘currency’ with one Bitcoin now being worth just under €3,500 so the purchase of a €100 gift card will allow the owner to download 0.03 of a Bitcoin and then hope that it will retain its value or increase before it needs to be exchanged for goods or physical cash. In addition, there are now a num-

ber of companies offering debit cards through the VISA system which allow payment for goods and also separate purchase of new Bitcoins. For those who obtained Bitcoins (which are produced by a convoluted system of computer programmes which go ‘mining’ to create new coins), considerable fortunes have been made as the original value of a single Bitcoin was less than €1. As this is a relatively uncontrolled currency, governments in particular
fear that it has become the exchange of choice for drug smugglers, organised crime and even terrorists as well as an ideal way for individuals to evade currency controls. The latest of these computer based currencies the Whoppercoin is being launched by Burger King in Russia, but although in theory it will be possible to trade on the open market, one Whoppercoin is only worth 1.5 euro cents which will be given for every Rouble spent. To purchase a single burger, customers will need to earn 1,700 of the special coins, but if this is successful then the concept may roll out across the whole of Europe with Spain a potential target. Currently, restaurant chains in Spain such as Da Bruno, the Italian family group on the Costa del Sol already offers a loyalty card whereby regular customers can build up points to use against the cost of a meal, with €1 being credited for every €10 spent, so this may not become a huge success in Spain.

Servired will actually demerge its payment division to allow it to join the new, as yet unnamed company and in theory the entire merger will be completed before the end of the year so that all of the main Spanish banks will use the same service. What has not been r evealed is whether with the merger any bank charges for using other banks machines will be scrapped.

ALTHOUGH the Toys ‘R’ Us operation in the USA has sought protection against its creditors after dropping sales, it still sees Spain as a strong and potential market. So confident is it in an the prospective strength of the Iberian market that its new five-year plan calls for continued expansion as well as a redesign of the online business. With 51 stores in Spain and a new one due to open prior to the Christmas and Three Kings rush, the company will also be taking on more than 1,000 part-time staff in order to be able to cope with the expected business. According to new general director of the company Jean Charreteur, responsible for France and Iberia in an interview with the news agency Efe, whilst Spain is not the largest European market in turnover, it does generate profit and there appears to be a significant option for long-term growth.
EWN online Join the conversation on our Facebook page
Whilst the company has been seriously hit by the internet sales made through Amazon in the USA, the online giant has not made significant inroads within the Spanish market with El Corte Ingles being the major toy seller, followed closely by Toys ‘R’ Us. For this reason, the company plans to expand its number of outlets in smaller towns but only if the potential stores are in the right locations and promise to generate significant footfall. Having seen the success of internet sites worldwide, the group plans to make its site far easier to operate and
to introduce the option for customers to order online but then collect at a designated store or even have the manufacturer deliver directly. Funds are apparently being made available to allow for this growth and there will be an emphasis in promoting the little known Babes ‘R’ Us business which like Mothercare in the UK and Spain offers a range of items ideal for newborns. One other possibility being considered, once the new website is up and running efficiently, is the possible introduction of third party companies offering their product for sale with the group receiving a percentage of the sale in the same way as Amazon and other similar online stores. Although there is a strong emphasis on new stores and an improved internet facility, money will also be spent on upgrading the existing stores as well as adding special events to ensure that customers visit on a regular basis and that each store is of the same high standard.

THERE are some significant savings to be made by choosing one supermarket over another with the average basket being €900 per annum cheaper if you pick the right chain. There seem to be two deciding factors over the pricing of goods, location and store with the Alcampo chain being the most economic on a national basis although the Dani group in Andalucia is considered as being cheaper. The consumer organisation OCU has completed its annual survey of Spanish supermarkets and compared 164,276 prices in 1,137 establishments in 63 different locations to allow it to come up with its cheapest options. Mallorcan supermarkets were the most expensive, but the majority of the different chains offer similar prices although fruit and vegetable prices have increased generally.
Losing mental capacity whilst living abroad by Stone King Charlotte Macdonald Contact me at international@stoneking.co.uk
MANY UK expatriates living in Spain own properties in the UK and have pensions and investments in the UK. They rely on their UK assets to maintain their lifestyles (and those of their families) in Spain. If they can no longer manage their affairs in the UK due to a loss of mental capacity, it can cause many difficulties.
You can choose a person or people, who you trust, to act for you when you are no longer able. The best way to avoid the legal and practical difficulties that can occur with the loss of mental capacity is to plan for it in advance by drawing up a document called a ‘Lasting Power of Attorney’ (‘LPA’).
An LPA must be made while you have full mental capacity.
What is an LPA? An LPA is a legal document that enables you to appoint one or more attor-
neys to act for you when you are no longer able to act for yourself. Your attorney can be a professional,
such as a solicitor or a family member or friend. There are two types of LPA: ‘Health and Welfare’ or ‘Property and Financial Affairs’ An LPA must be made while you have full mental capacity. It is therefore important to make one while you are in good health. Why should you get an LPA? You can choose a person or people, who you trust, to act for you when you are no longer able. If you lose your mental capacity and do not have an LPA, then your family (or the authorities) will have no choice but to make an application to the Court of Protection to appoint a ‘deputy’ to look after your affairs, which can be time consuming and costly. Will my LPA be recognised in Spain? Unfortunately there is no international type of LPA which is guaranteed to work in both the UK and Spain. The advice we give to our clients at Stone King, is that if you have assets in both Spain and the UK, your only safe option is to appoint attorneys in both jurisdictions.
If you would like to discuss LPAs contact Charlotte Macdonald or Dan Harris at Stone King LLP by email international@stoneking.co.uk or by telephone on +44 (0)1225 337599.

HI kids, This is your trendy Dad telling you how much I love you and how much I enjoyed speaking to you all at my recent appearance at Glastonbury. You will not be aware of it, but this was a realisation of my dream back in the 60’s when, much to my chagrin, my aspirations toward Guru’ism fell on totally deaf ears. Thank you, all my children. Right, on to more important issues. This year, or hopefully next, I have decided to enter for the Father of the Year awards. When the time comes, I hope, when you hear of all the wonderful surprises I have lined up, you will have no hesitation in voting me a clear winner and new occupant of a beautiful house in the centre of London, which unfortunately 99.9 per cent of you will never see the inside of. Rest assured though, Diana and I will be very happy there and, although a little decadent, no more or less than we deserve after all the years of hypocrisy and planning it has taken to realise our dreams.

After all, who wants to kill and maim millions of fellow human beings? The fact that we will then have no defence against those who want to kill millions of us, is no problem as I’m sure they will grow to love us
when we poke our flowers down the barrels of their guns! Next, I want to offer you all free education. I will pay for everyone and, even if you are total numbskulls, give all an equal opportunity to attend universities for as long as you like, and
what’s more I’ll throw in free food as well. Next, if you don’t feel the need to work, I will supply you with enough money to keep you in food, fags and beer and, particularly if you have large numbers of children, enough money to live the life of Riley and even spend some constructive leisure time in the betting shops. If your friends from countries across the world want to come here for extended sleep overs, I will make sure they have enough money and free hand outs to stay as long as they like, even if many of them would like you all dead or serving a different cultural existence altogether. Every worker’s wage will go up and, when I take over all the public transport companies, travel will be cheap and even free for everyone. How is your old Dad going to pay for all these goodies I hear you ask? Well it really is quite simple. After I’ve finished robbing all those rich b******s, I’ll simply borrow the rest. When it all goes pear shaped I’ll then do what we have always done, let those we hate the most pick up all the pieces. No problem. So, there you have it. All this and more awaits at the end of my rainbow. All you have to do is vote for me. Thank you, my children. Peace and love to you all. Jeremy Corbyn.

And nervous students helped to ask questions in lectures courtesy of an app that’ll let them send anonymous text messages with queries to a screen at the front of the lecture hall? Good grief!

THURSDAY THOUGHTS By Stewart Gow, Cutar, Axarquia
Brave new words columnists@euroweeklynews.com
WE use artificial intelligence (AI) when we make a search on the internet or use robots like Amazon’s ‘Alexa.’ It is not new technology and was foreseen by science fiction writers long ago. It appeared in the film 2001 Space Odyssey in which the space ship’s computer takes command. The question in 2017 is; ‘is the computer going to take over earth?’ Not such an outlandish question I suggest. If you accept the definition of AI as - ‘a programme capable of replicating itself’ - such programmes are here now. If you watch the videos on ‘lethal autonomous weapons’ on YouTube, you will be aware of one of the directions AI has taken. In Isaac Asimov’s ‘Three Laws of Robotics’ the preservation of the humans is paramount. So are similar inhibiting commands being adopted by those programming robots now? I think back to the story of Genesis and the account where a creator God has trouble with some angels, in particular one called ‘Satan.’ This angel sees an opening where he might become more powerful than his creator. Fortunately, by definition, God is all powerful and Satan and his followers are banished. By changing the word ‘angel’ or ‘deity’ for ‘programme’ you can see that the story is cruelly topical. Are we creating robots which will become powerful minor deities, capable of destroying towns with one burst from their weapons? There is another modern myth in which earth is attacked by aliens who intend to destroy humanity. Personally I would like to challenge this myth. Firstly I do not see what aliens have to gain and secondly warrior robots may destroy humanity first.

astonishing no-one thought of it before: the what3words app. It’s free to the common man, and is even being adopted officially by countries which have never been able to define physical addresses. First up, Mongolia is blazing the trail and no yurt has now been left unaddressed. Some 75 per cent of the world apparently has inadequate addressing systems. So a few distressingly smart young (British!) whizzkids worked out that you could define every single three-squaremetre block on the planet in just three English words, whether in a busy city or the middle of a desert or ocean. Simply enter those three words into the free app
and you’re shown /exactly/ where to go, no matter where it is in the world, with three-metre accuracy. Magic or what? And it’s idiot-proof, promise. If you can use a smartphone you can use what3words. Technophiles will of course sneer and insist we all delve into the bowels of our satnav devices to work out complicated GPS coordinates, and good luck getting many pensioners, and in reality the majority of non-Millennials to go that route. So take up thy smartphone, download the free app from the Apple Store (for iPhones and iPads) or Google Play (for Android devices) by searching for what3words, (or on your computer head to what3words.com), and start by finding out just which three words could get a stalker delivered directly to your front door. It’s a brilliant solution for the technically timid which is now expanding beyond the 40,000 words of English it needs to cover the globe. There’s now a Spanish version, and others. What3words is stunning in its simplicity and a boon to everyone except, perhaps, dyslexics. But hey, there are apps for that too. Watch this space…

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man columnists@euroweeklynews.com
I’M used to seeing signs on doors as I go into buildings. You know, the usual stuff, the type that has a picture on it with a red line through it. Ciggys, obviously, in all buildings or maybe one with a dog on it. In Spain you will see the odd one, in a posher restaurant, that no flip flops are allowed. You get the idea. So I was a little taken aback, when going into a medical research building, that the only sign they had on the door, apart from the opening hours, was a picture of a gun with a red line going through it! Now to me that’s not the greatest deterrent to a raving lunatic that wants to kill a load of people. What do they think is going to happen? Some nutter is going to go marching up to the door with his mate and a couple of AK47s and just as he is going to go crashing through the doors he’ll say, ‘Woah hold up son we can’t go in there and massacre everybody.’ ‘Why not?’ says his mate. ‘Well there’s a sign on the
door that says ‘No Guns.’ ‘Oh ok then let’s find somewhere else.’ Everyone will be saved by health and safety and a $2 sign. ‘What is the point?’ I asked the receptionist when I went in. She didn’t even know it was on there but said it was their policy that guns were not allowed in the building. I should bloody well hope so. I love America, but at the moment, the place is a mess. In years I have never spoken to so many people with such opposite views on the state of their country. A few I spoke to love Trump but as much as they love him they want him to stop tweeting. They love him because he’s not a politician but I spoke to a lot more who, like me, think he is a snake oil salesman that is very dangerous. I also think he can’t make any statement about anything without putting his twisted views on everything and blaming media for fake news. Calling football players ‘mother’s bitches’ for instance or sending 18 tweets on Saturday, all of which were negative, defensive or dark and all re Puerto Rica. I’ve read them all and it beggars belief. I’m leaving the US on Wednesday and will be on Talk Radio Europe on Friday to do some more grumps. Email me: mikesenker@gmail.com

LEGALLY SPEAKING
New mobile phone 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.
STAY SAFE: A small distraction can mean the difference between life and death. AN instant of distraction can make the difference between life and death. This is why the International Automobile Federation (FIA) and Dieter Liebrech Koch, with the collaboration of RACC and RACE and other European automobile clubs, are launching the #ParkYourPhone initiative. The ambassador for this campaign is singer Pharrell Williams. European Transport Commissioner Violeta Bulc said that “with smartphones integrated into our lives, it seems increasingly difficult to take our eyes off the screen. In fact, driving distracted is causing an increasing number of victims on the road.” The message is unmistakable: the best way to prevent an accident is, first and foremost, to have our eyes on the road and not any other element that can prevent us from driving with attention. Jean Todt, president of the FIA, said that “road safety is one of my top priorities. Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians need to un-
derstand the dangers of using smartphones in traffic. To combat the 3,500 lives lost daily in traffic accidents, I call on all road users to ‘park’ their phones when they are in traffic.” RACC Recommendations The RACC emphasises that talking on the phone multiplies by four the probability of an accident and drivers who write a message are 23 times more likely to crash. In a study carried out by the Catalan motor club last year, 26 per cent of drivers admitted to using their mobile ‘always or often’ on their journeys, a percentage that increases to 47 per cent in the case of pedestrians. To reduce the accidents related to mobile use, the RACC recommends: Promote the use of applications that block the mobile while driving; require certification (eg an ISO standard) to be able to standardise mobility-related apps and identify them as safe and compatible with driving.

Is the UK licence invalid? With respect, you are giving the wrong advice regarding UK driving licences. First, there is no such thing as an EU driving licence.

EXCLUSIVE By John Smith AWARD-WINNING director and writer Stephen Cookson will be at the Marbella International Film Festival with Timothy Spall as they present the unique Stanley, Man of Variety. “I always knew that I was destined for a career in the arts having been a member of the National Youth Theatre alongside the latest James Bond, Daniel Craig and appeared as an extra in a number of blockbuster movies including Mission Impossible and The Russia House,” Stephen told Euro Weekly News. He decided however that his future was more likely to be in writing and directing and was involved in a number of short films with members of the Monty Python crew as well as music videos which brought his name to the attention of a number of producers. Funds were made available for his first feature, a comedy, Stone Man which he wrote and directed and this was followed by another comedy Mumbo Jumbo again as writer and director which introduced him to a number of popular British character actors such as Brian Blessed. Other films followed including a musical starring children in the vein of Bugsy Malone but his creatively successful film My Angel was a great critical triumph winning Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Best Actress at the Monaco Film Festival 2011. With another great British cast which included the late Mel Smith and Brenda Blethyn, Stephen struck up a professional and personal friendship with Timothy Spall who he considers to be an exceptional actor

and they spent several years trying to find an ideal vehicle for a new film project starring Timothy. An idea about a prisoner who escapes into the world of football was given to him by a friend Falcon Fields and Stephen spoke to Timothy about the concept, but as the actor doesn’t even like football, that was a non-starter. For two years Stephen played with the concept and kept trying to enthuse Timothy about playing an entire cast of characters single handedly (perhaps a little akin to Kind Hearts and Coronets where Alec Guinness played eight different parts) but whilst the actor liked the concept, he didn’t think that he was up to the challenge. Eventually after a great deal of discussion about their joint love of classic comedy characters, Timothy was won over and agreed to play 16 different characters in Stanley, Man of Vari-
ety, an unusual yet compelling story. Stanley finds himself in prison for a crime he believes that he didn’t commit. After many years in solitary confinement he begins to talk to his comedy heroes from the past as each one tries to help him remember what he has done. The narrative follows Stanley through his journey of hallucinations as he faces up to his unusual upbringing and his parents’ bizarre religious beliefs and he becomes desperate to learn the truth about what happened to his daughter and what happened to the ordinary life he had always dreamed of. Apart from playing his own parents and Stanley, Timothy Spall appears in character as a number of well-remembered comedians and actors including Max Wall, Noel Coward, Tony Hancock, George Formby, Max Miller and Alastair Sim. The schedule for this film was particularly
tiring for actor and director alike with Timothy filming one character each morning after being made up before reverting to Stanley in the afternoon. Acting 16 different characters, all of which had to be filmed separately and then edited in to the final 85-minute film was a challenge but off camera, an actor read the lines of the characters that Timothy was playing in order to allow him to be able to focus his sightline and also react to a third party. The film has received a huge amount of praise at different festivals in China, Chile, France, Ireland and the UK that it has been entered into and has won several awards already. Actor Timothy Spall and Director Stephen Cookson are attending the Marbella International Film Festival next Saturday when their film will be shown at 5pm and the pair will also be involved in a Question and Answer session. Stephen has never visited Marbella before and commented “I am really looking forward to sharing this incredible film with visitors to the Festival and to enjoy being in what I understand is a great city.” Timothy who has been bitten by the sailing bug sailed to Marbella, planning the journey to allow him to arrive in time for the screening of the film. Saturday night is a strong night at the Festival with My Best, the story of Calum Best’s journey to understand his father, the iconic footballer George Best, a man that Calum never really knew, being presented at 7.30pm.

Is your age a concern? Marbella Moments by Nicole King MY grandfather used to come and stay with us and it really took me by surprise when he asked me to cut his toenails for him. It had never occurred to me that one day, someth i n g a s si m p l e as th at, w o u ld b e something you wouldn’t be able to do for yourself. And that’s just it; we often don’t think about the changes that age brings and what that means to almost every aspect of our lives. For those who live alone, even the simplest things can become a major challenge. The Costa del Sol is now facing this challenge with our international expats. This is an area not only overflowing with foreigners but a lot of them are now getting on in age with no one to help or look after them; some also lacking the finances to seek the help they require. Many have lived on the coast for so long that they can’t even go back to their coun-

ing the official paperwork, there is already a helpline Tel. 689 355 198. Volunteers are essential for this initiative to succeed. Even if you only have 15 minutes free a week you could really make a big difference by popping in to see someone for a quick chat, do a bit of shopping or take out the rubbish. With a 27 kilometre coastline getting around can be very difficult, and costly, so if you have your own means of transport you can help by driving someone to a hospital appointment or to the shops, the list goes on. Age Concern is for all nationalities so volunteers who also speak languages will be a big plus! Another big plus would be a mini bus, one of the few things on the list that require a financial contribution from the community - or a generous donation from one of our local automobile companies! These are still early days for Age Concern Marbella and San Pedro, but it’s never too soon to get your name down on the list as a volunteer so you can be contacted if needed. This should be an easy project for us to help set up because we all know that one day it could be us needing to make that call for help.
How can you attain more balance? Welcome to your October 2017 forecast. Every month I write about how the Astrology, Numerology, and Tarot for the month ahead affect you, helping you to move forward confidently with your plans. Below is your forecast for October 2017: card is the Wheel of Fortune. This card reminds you of the cycles of life, often seen as polarities such as new life and death, and yet these cycles flow seemlessly together. Throughout the day your mood and energy levels may fluctuate. Listen to your body, honour your feelings and try to be as present as possible in order to tap into your inner voice. The month ends with Halloween. In the pagan tradition it is believed that the veil between this world and the next is thin at this time, so meditate or journal on the eve of October 31. Listen and then act on the subtle whispers of your intuition.

Breast Cancer BREAST CANCER starts in the tissues of the breast and the symptoms vary widely - from lumps to swelling to skin changes and many breast cancers have no obvious symptoms. No one knows why some women get breast cancer, but there are many risk factors. The risks that you cannot change include: • Age - the risk rises as you get older. • Genes - women who have family members with breast or ovarian cancer may wish to be tested for the BRCA1 & BRCA 2 genes. • Personal factors - beginning periods before age 12 or going through menopause after age 55. Other risks include obesity, using hormone replacement therapy, taking birth control pills, drinking alcohol, not having children or having your first child after age 35.
A breast self-exam should be part of your monthly health care routine, and you should visit your doctor if you experience breast changes. If you’re over 40 or at a high risk, you should also have an annual mammogram and physical exam by a doctor. The earlier breast cancer is fo u n d an d dia gnos e d, the be tte r your chances of beating it. In recent years, there’s been an explosion of life-saving treatment advances against breast cancer, which include, s u rg e r y, c h e m o t h e r a p y a n d r a d i a t i o n therapy.

TV Couch Critic IN this new column a panel of TV critics give their thoughts on personally selected weekly programmes. Here is what has entertained... and annoyed... the first of the four regular viewers who will be saying what they think! There can be only one starting point: the amazing Dr Foster. Suranne Jones has been fantastic, and has come a long way from Weatherfield, via Scott & Bailey and Bertie Carvel, showing that cheating ex-husbands can be sexy and dangerous in equal measure when they are over 40. The good Doctor took some extreme action to sort out her life and whilst it is good there are reports of a possible third series, please, would someone buy Suranne some decent lingerie and get her to a hair stylist. Hubby Simon should not be claiming the sexy crown, but is, and in my book the Doctor’s shocking black underwear has to go in any future series. Meanwhile Coronation Street has been showing six times a week recently and two story lines look as
SCREEN LADIES: Dr Foster (Suranne Jones) - left, and in-love Victoria (Jenna Coleman).
Dr Foster is great, but oh what shocking underwear though they will play out as the autumn nights draw in. Phelan continues to hold poor Andy hostage and it looks as though he will be captive for quite a while longer. But frankly do I really care? Also, the marvellous Billy Mayhew is rumoured to have a very busy time leading up to Christmas and not just with sorting out the donkey for St Mary’s nativity play. Watch out for a ‘not really suitable
for a vicar’ storyline, for this is as good a reason as any to keep watching. Sunday evenings of late have been dominated by Victoria, the fabulous The Child in Time and additionally Dragons’ Den. But the crown (excuse the pun) clearly goes to Victoria, with Dame Diana Rigg a marvel playing the Duchess of Buccleuch, Victoria’s new Mistress of the Robes; arriving to her Court via Game of Thrones.
This dame is everything Maggie Smith just didn’t pull out of the bag in Downton Abbey. Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes are wonderfully cast as in-love Monarch and Consort, Victoria and Albert. There is also an off-screen romance between them and while this may have boosted ratings, I’m worried that in real life Tom’s hair is way too floppy for someone who has time-travelled with Dr Who.
65
Plus once those viewing numbers go high enough, Jenna will run amok with the kitchen scissors, so grab a decent hat Tom. W1A recently returned for a third series. For readers not familiar with this ‘comedy for anyone who has worked in an office’ - my words, not the show tagline - it is a six episode, how to be politically correct and achieve very little, comedy starring Jessica Hynes, Sarah Parish and Hugh Bonnerville. Hugh (Ian Fletcher in the show) is the BBC’s Head of Values, so you can see where this is going, given his job is said to be to reshape what the Beeb is all about. Be ready for lots of ‘I agree’ in meetings and behaviour which will resonate if you love Buzz Word Bingo in the office. It’s worth a look for the star-studded cast even for those who have not worked in an office. Finally, if you haven’t caught the re-run of Sun, Sea and A&E series three, its worth searching it out. The cameras follow British holidaymakers who have, on the whole, terrible flipflops and way too little sun cream. It’s a must. Critique: AWL, Casares, Costa del Sol.

Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
columnists@euroweeklynews.com
OCTOBER 1, the day of the illegal Cataluña referendum, was abbreviated by the Spanish media to l-0. This looked like a football score with a victory for the home team. That is how Carles Puigdemont and his separatist supporters still see it, although Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, the Spanish vice-president insisted that the match never happened. “There was no referendum,” pronounced the woman routinely called on to do Mariano Rajoy’s dirty work. On the contrary there was a referendum albeit with only a 42 per cent turnout. Ninety per cent of the people who voted, those happy to participate in a ballot with no legal guarantees, voted for independence.
By Ian Giles IT’S not often that one gets to see one’s heroes perform their skills live, especially when one reaches my age and most of our heroes are either long retired or, sadly, have passed away. Luckily, when it comes to tennis, my heroes are mostly younger than me! I played a lot of tennis as a youngster myself, and my big heroes were such luminaries as Rod Laver, Mike Sangster, Roy Emerson. Then, in the late 70’s and early 80’s, along came one John McEnroe. He was, and still is, about six or seven years younger than me but, in terms of tennis, he was the guy I rooted for and wanted to watch on the box. I never got to see him play live and it was a big regret for me. Imagine my joy when the Euro Weekly News asked me to go along to the Tennis Senior Masters Cup being played at Puerto Romano in Marbella last Saturday! I would finally get to see my hero John McEnroe play Spain’s former world

Game over The regional president Carles Puigdemont interprets this as a mandate to declare independence within days, even though the ‘yes’ vote represents only 27 per cent of Cataluña’s population. So not only has he split Spain apart but he is going to divide Cataluña as well.
The pyromaniac THE Spanish government failed to understand that not all of the Catalans who wanted a referendum, wanted secession. Thousands of police and Guardia Civil officers were seconded to the region to stop them from voting and the more Rajoy used words like ‘sedition,’ the more he fuelled the referendum fire. Not for nothing was he compared to a pyromaniac by a Catalan Euro-MP on October 1. That fire will take a long time to extinguish. Spain and the world saw footage of black-clad National Police and Guardia Civil officers, armoured literally up to the eyeballs manhan-
IN DENIAL? Soraya Saenz de Santamaria. dling grannies, jostling pensioners and laying into youths. “We did what we had to,” Rajoy said, although rubber bullets and bloodstained voters are not the best way of upholding the law. The days have gone when Mariano Rajoy could lie back and think of Spain in tricky situations. The government’s inability to parley and their inflexibility conveyed obduracy and fear, not strength and now no-one is happy. Not the Catalans and certainly not both governments who must pick up the pieces. How they will put them together is anyone’s guess.
I tawt I taw a puddy tat THE only joke last week was a cruise ship, docked in Barcelona harbour. One of three, it was chartered as floating lodgings for the 5,000 National Police and Guardia Civil personnel brought in to keep the peace before, during and after the referendum. An oversized picture of Tweety Pie, accompanied by Daffy Duck and Wil E Coyote decorated its side which was tactfully covered after going viral.
Be prepared JP MORGAN advised investors that Spanish bonds are no longer a sure bet, thanks to Cataluña. Instead they should choose Germany, which is logical, or Portugal owing to Spain’s ‘constitutional crisis.’ The latter option was nothing short of humiliating as along with Italy, Greece and Spain, Portugal was one of the PIGS in the doodoo during the economic crisis. Mariano Rajoy who repeatedly pats himself on the back for dragging Spain out of the economic crisis criticised his predecessor Jose Luis Rodriguez for failing to see it coming. And now Rajoy, who didn’t see the Catalan car crash coming or take seriously its effects on the economy, has created more problems with his habitual passive-aggressive response. It was good black humour, another of Spain’s inventions along with the helicopter and the submarine. Especially as few were sure then and still fewer are sure now who is a-creeping up on who.

Heroes and villains? A rally-driver’s take on Senior Masters tennis! No.1, Carlos Moya! That match started at 8pm but first we were treated to a doubles match with Mats Wilander, the Swedish former world No.1 and Spain’s Alberto Costa, French Open winner in 2002,

playing a French pair comprised of 1983 French Open winner Yannick Noah and Wimbledon semi-finalist Sebastian Grosjean. At 8pm along came McEnroe and Spain’s former world
No.1, Carlos Moya, now coach to Rafa Nadal, for the Grand Finale of the Seniors Masters Cup. I think it should be pointed out immediately that McEnroe is almost 59-years-old and Moya barely 41 but still fighting fit.
McEnroe, who won this very Championship Cup last year, started slowly and lost the first game. He quickly powered to a 3-2 lead but then it became quite obvious he was tired. Having played a hard match the night before and looking less fit than his much younger opponent, he hung on gamely to lose the first set by 4 games to 6. As the second set started, McEnroe refused to give in and started well, showing

many flashes of his old magic. He won the first game with a devastating serve that was so the McEnroe that we all know. His classic serve-and-volley was really effective when he was able to use it, the big, accurate serve, and the left-handed stroke play that has never changed. But he eventually lost the second and final set by, again, 4 games to 6. He was truly gracious in defeat and I think Moya, in victory, respected him and his efforts greatly. Was I disappointed in the match? Most definitely not! I wanted to see McEnroe play and I wanted to see him win, something he is still more than capable of but, nevertheless, I enjoyed seeing a true grandmaster at work and I would see him play again in an instant should the opportunity arise. Now, take me back 40 years and let’s start again...

SIR, Inspired by John Smith’s commentary applauding the Guardia Civil’s (SEPRONA) alleged campaign against domestic animal abuse and neglect, I emailed a complaint in Spanish against SC, reputedly the richest Spaniard in Competa, alleging abuse and neglect of two ostriches he owns. Their condition and living habitat can easily be seen from the ‘goat trail’ between Competa and Canillas de Albaida. I sent photographs to SEPRONA showing one of the pair pecked nearly clean of all its feathers, and the birds appeared dehydrated. Scores of feathers were strewn on the wire caged area floor. SEPRONA replied in two days with an automated message in bureaucratic detail demanding I file a formal denuncia. Filing one of these is serious business and would likely subject me to retribution by a most powerful and well-connected man. A no win and no relief for suffering

Authorities’ heads buried in sand? Littoral disgrace WE note that Marbella Council is to launch a new Beach Authority (EWN issue 1682) and are promising improvements including WIFI zones. This is another example of how far removed the council is from a large proportion of their residents! We here at Playa de las Chapas would much prefer services such as showers, public toilets, drinking water, first aid and rescue, none of which have been available for a number of years despite featuring on information panels close to the beach. We have also raised the lack

It’s not exactly rocket science (Leapy Lee) WELL, well. For the first time ever, this week I had a post removed from my Facebook (FB) pages. Rules are rules Leapy. You broke them. End of story.

Monarch on brink
NATIONAL POLICE have fired rubber bullets at crowds in Barcelona after driving their vans through metal barriers as violence flares during Cataluña’s independence referendum.
BELEAGUERED airline Monarch appears to be preparing for the worst after it quadrupuled the price of flight tickets to discourage customers from buying.
Agreed sad day, but the police will not have aimed at an old lady. Why was she there? What was she doing? Peter Clarke

Monarch cancels all flights BRITISH charter and scheduled flight operator Monarch Airlines ceased trading at 4am Monday moning and announced it had appointed KPMG as liquidators. Collapsed at 4am, but still managed to take my cousin’s flight money from her bank this morning! Robbing b******s! Julie Jones Peel Why would you book a flight with Monarch this morning if you knew they were collapsing two days ago? Matt Coy We booked a total of 16 flights when they were advertising cheap flights a couple of weeks ago, may get some back. Devious b******s.

Lease talk ADVICE to some tenants when renting long term. The property is not yours, it is in effect loaned to you, had very possibly been the owner’s family home. Perhaps the owner had worked and saved to achieve buying their property and furnishings. A bit of respect, please. Cari Ellidge, Alora
Missed the boat I REFER to a letter published on page 69 in issue number 1682 entitled ‘Floating Memory.’ I too have very fond memories of sailing to and from Norway on the MS Braemar in the early 70’s but my recollections are of a different ship to that in the photo heading the letter. The photo is in fact of the current MS Braemar, built in 1993 and purchased by Fred Olsen in 2001. This makes me question how Bren Small managed to sail on it 62 years ago unless he has a DeLorean with a large boot! I have included a photo of the MS Braemar in service from 1952 until 1975. Boggy, Palomares SORRY to disappoint Bren Small of Shropshire, but the Braemar that he saw recently at Malaga port was not the ship he sailed on as a boy. This Braemar was built in 1993 as the Crown Dynasty. I should imagine that his ship was long ago turned into razor blades as we used to say. Greg Caldecott, Nerja (Old Seadog)
Spot on Leapy I’VE been a visitor to the Costa del Sol for the last three months and I’m emailing you to say that I’ve really enjoyed reading your pieces in the EWN. I’m a 60-something Brit expat living in Malta, and although I live abroad, I also spend time in Blighty. Are the children of today ruined or not? Absolutely. There is far too much entertainment in their lives, not enough study, and they also lack manners. Dave, Malta

Bank appeal
A NUMBER of counterfeit examples of the new polymer five pound note have been found on the Rock according to the Royal Gibraltar Police. The main pointers to the fakes are faded foil patches and the disappearance of the Elizabeth Tower on the note’s see-through window.
THE Danish Jyske Bank is appealing against a decision handed down earlier this year that an employee acted ‘knowingly and dishonestly’ in assisting the Marrache brothers to steal client funds. If successful, the bank will save several million pounds in fines.
Alameda alarm
One third fewer destinations PRIOR to the announcement that Monarch Airlines had gone into Administration, it was possible to travel from Gibraltar to six different airports in the UK and now that is cut to four. Destinations were Birmingham, Bristol, Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton and Manchester, but with the demise of Monarch, Birmingham and Luton are now no longer available as direct flight destinations and Manchester flights with easyJet may become busier. The Civil Aviation Authority in the UK has been arranging for passengers protected by ATOL terms to be flown to Britain on chartered aircraft although some passengers have been coached to Malaga in order to catch their flights. Certainly the reduction of a number of UK destinations will not help the Gibraltar tourism industry, but no doubt if the affected routes were profitable, other airlines will be quick to offer to step in and take them over.

The eggs are laid by moths in pine trees which soon become silk, cocoon-like nests. The caterpillars eat the pine needles and eventually move on to a new tree, following each other in a line which is where they get their name from. More commonly sighted in early spring as the weather heats up, the best way to deal with their nests is to burn them as any contact with their hairs can be highly hazardous. 3.

Those bitten are advised to seek medical attention. An opportunistic carnivore, the multi-legged insect will attack and consume virtually any animal that is not larger than itself including a variety of insects, small lizards and mice. 4. False Black Widow Spider The false widow is a mediumsized spider with a round, brown body and cream coloured markings. Its legs are a blend of red and orange colour.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) As you top up your spirits with some extra ideas, don't be surprised if a couple of items drop out of sight. If you seriously want to minimise niggles and hassles, then ask friends or relatives to lend a hand. It's a great week for togetherness, so ensure that you celebrate in style.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There will be enough hurly-burly to cope with at work, let alone elsewhere, so don't even think about doing everything singlehandedly. Cooking, hosting and being all things to everyone shouldn't be your version of the perfect week. Teamwork is the way forward, so take the lead and be sure that everyone gets happily involved.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) The more you can offload, the happier you'll be. As you attract kindred spirits, you'll be able to look forward to the weekend whirl with family and friends. In the lead-up to the weekend, try to be patient with those who seem to be pulled in other directions. The weekend's full moon sets the scene for a useful exchange of ideas.

You will be ready and waiting for whatever you've organised. Then, without warning, you could have to backtrack or make other plans - you might even encounter some undeserved criticism. But no matter what happens, the weekend will definitely make up for any workaday muddles. Meanwhile, if you're a mixer and mingler, you'll be swept off your feet.

Asp Viper Achieving worldwide renown thanks to Shakespeare, this member of the cobra family is capable of injecting a venom that can stop the heart. Those bitten are advised by medical experts to seek medical aid immediately and attacks can be anticipated by head jerking and hissing. They can grow up to 80 centimetres in length and are mainly thought to dwell close to the Pyrenees. Males are grey in colour with black stripes. Females can be grey or brown and also have the stripes but they are less prominent. Their heads are triangular and they have slightly upturned noses. They feed mainly on rodents, lizards and birds, laying in wait and surprising their prey.

Famous quote
SPAIN is home to a host of varying wildlife but not all of it is cute and cuddly. This week we look at the country’s top five venomous creatures. 1. Fire Salamander One of Europe’s most common species of salamander, it can discharge a poison through its skin which is potentially very dangerous to humans. Affecting all vertebrates (species with a spine) the toxin it secretes can cause muscle convulsions and hypertension as well as hyperventilation. The salamanders are usually black with yellow markings though some can be almost all black or yellow or bits of red. Mainly dwelling in forests and hilly areas, their diet generally consists of insects, spiders, earthworms and slugs. Adults can grow up to 25 centimetres long. 2. Processionary Pine Caterpillars Infamous among Spanish residents for causing fatal injuries to dogs, they also pose a threat to hu-

Good news should come your way this week. Regardless of how you mark it, you'll be surrounded by caring hearts. Sunday's full moon is one of two this year associated with journeys, homely connections and good fortune. Despite some workaday hassles your efforts will be well starred.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Many happy moments will keep you on your toes. With warming wishes in the wind, and a charming touch of luck, don't panic if certain events don't match up to your high standards. Just be Leo-proud that you've got what it takes to make things tick. Unfortunately you can't afford to assume that everything will run to time.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You won't avoid the occasional mishap, but if you're tactful on Tuesday and chill out on Wednesday, the lead-up to the weekend's partying will see you go after whatever you want. Personal and financial discussions will remind you that life is what you make it. Just ride life's waves with confidence.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This week's change of planetary powers will allow you to find exactly what you're looking for, especially if you're shopping for bargains. Happily, everything is coming together, so don't let everyday niggles spoil your long-term plans.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) On a personal and financial level, wait for further developments before you reach or activate any important decisions. As you draw near the final phase of this year, the best results will come from spending as much time as possible with loved ones, or those who're on your creative wavelength.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Whatever your plans, or however you intend to enjoy the weekend, there'll be laughter, fun and plenty of action. Refuse to be distracted or upset by any of Monday or Wednesday's twists and turns.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) This week's potent presence of sombre Saturn in your own sign is a warning not to lose your cool, particularly on Tuesday and Thursday. Otherwise, you can expect a weekend of quality and frivolity.

Steps to a healthier life THERE are a lot of myths around the benefits of taking 10,000 steps a day. However, getting daily exercise is actually just as important for our health as eating well and drinking eight glasses of water. Ten thousand steps may seem like an impossible target to reach, but with the help of a pedometer you will soon see how quickly the numbers add up. The amount of steps you walk a day can also vary greatly on where you live, and how much you need to use a car or public transport in your day to day life. Adults in the US, for example, only walk an average of 5,000 steps while the figure is nearly double that in Australia. Boosting how much you walk a day by just a small amount could have a significant impact on your health, however, and can reduce the likelihood of developing illnesses such as diabetes and cancer.

WALK THIS WAY: Get a group of friends together to go on regular walks so you feel more motivated.
By Kat Ashton
EWN
One study found women who increase their step count to 10,000 steps a day reduced their blood pressure after just 24 weeks. Another discovered that it helped to improve glucose levels. It also decreases hypertension in the body, which reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Increasing your step count could also have more short-term benefits. Walking regularly increases balance and endurance and also helps to reduce fatigue - which could result in getting a better night’s sleep. It has also been proven to enhance the mood and battle the effects of depression as regular exercise helps to reduce stress and can act as a form of meditation. Walking more could even make you smarter as it increases the blood flow to the brain. If your average amount of steps is just 5,000 a day, getting an extra 30-minute walk in will take you to about 8,000 steps. However the more steps you can do, the better.

good to your hair can be a curse in disguise, as applying smoothing treatments too frequently can leave your hair feeling thirsty the rest of the time. Hormonal changes can also cause your hair to suffer and become more brittle. Consult with your doctor if you believe this is having an adverse effect on your locks. Using the wrong shampoo can strip the hair of natural oil that helps to make it shiny or soft. It’s also a wise idea to change shampoo every so often as hair can become resistant to it after a while and all the good stuff stops working.
SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. POOR posture results from certain muscles tightening up or shortening while others lengthen and become weak, which often occurs as a result of one’s daily activities. There are different factors which can impact on posture, and these include occupational activities and biomechanical factors such as force and repetition. Workers who have higher job stress are more likely to develop neck and shoulder symptoms.
What long and shortterm effects can an incorrect posture have? Correct sitting and walking posture is essential in keeping our spine and other joints healthy. In fact, adopting an incorrect posture can cause problems in both the short and longterm. It can start with backaches and muscle spasms but over time can develop into much more severe disorders such as hernias and slipped discs. What posture is recommended for office workers who sit for prolonged periods of time? Office workers or people who are sitting for long periods of time must maintain a posture in which the back is as straight as possible, if possible, with a proper chair
that helps support this. It is also recommended to move your legs regularly and to stand up often to stretch both the back and legs. Are there are any exercises that can be done to improve posture? The first thing is to maintain proper posture so it is less likely complications will occur. Any exercises to strengthen the back muscles will also help to prevent injuries. Can poor posture be associated with older people taking falls? Older people lose muscle mass and tone so this often causes them to have a bad sitting posture, causing back problems. In advanced and severe cases this can cause the elderly to have frequent falls.

IN this new weekly series Lorenzo Barbareschi will provide thoughts on various wines, not just from Spain, and not only those enjoyed, but a few better kept perhaps for cooking or Sangria. But as a starter, first he peeps back in time.
History that spans over 3,000 years SPAIN’S wine heritage dates back to the Phoenicians who planted the first vineyards in 1100 BC when founding the trading post of Cadiz in Andalucia at least 3,000 years ago. The Romans also traded throughout the empire wines produced along the Mediterranean and cooler Atlantic coasts. In 711 AD the Islamic Moors arrival put an end to wine production and commerce for nearly 800 years, but once freed in 1492 AD from Islamic rule wine production re-flourished, with exports to colonies in South America as well as to Henry VIII’s court. In the 20th century the Spanish Civil War and Second World War badly affected exports, but the wine industry then regained momentum, though with the exception of Rioja and Sherry, Spanish wines did not gain global popularity till the later 1900s. Spain is now the world’s third biggest wine producer, topped only by France and Italy. An estimated 400 plus grape varieties are planted throughout Spain although 80 per cent

They have 15 big screens and show all the weekly sporting events with a huge terrace and a comfortable interior and a kitchen that is open from 10am to 9.45pm with the best pub grub being served quickly and at reasonable prices.

Fan Palms - fast growing palms for your Mediterranean garden or terrace GRAEME TYRRELL THE Mediterranean look for a garden is not complete without a palm tree. They are symbols of the promise of warm, balmy nights and bright, sunny days. They take up very little ground space as they grow straight up and are ideal to make pool areas and gardens look more inviting. Fan palms are very fast growing but require little maintenance as they hold on to spent leaves; so provide few problems in the pool or garden from constant small falling debris. They may need specialised care once they become very tall to prune the spent leaves, but it is usually only an annual or biannual event in a domestic garden.
DANCING: A stand of Mexican fan palms. There are two commonly grown types of fan palm. The Mexican Fan Palm, Washingtonia robusta, and the Californian Fan Palm, Washingtonia filifera, that have slightly different characteristics that are worth

knowing about. The Mexican fan palm is faster and taller growing (30m), with leaves of about one metre that are densely grouped and sway more, when fully grown, in strong winds. The California
FOR a colourful garden all year round, gardeners are turning to ‘foliage plants’ which keep things looking fresh and vibrant. One of the most eyecatching varieties out there is the canna plant, which adds a touch of tropical flair to any garden
fan palm is slower growing (20m), with larger leaves of about 1.5 metres that are sparsely grouped, and more stable in high winds. Despite concerns for the palm’s height when mature, these palms
rarely fall over even in very high winds due to its structure that gives it much greater strength than other trees. Both palms are drought-tolerant but the Californian one is more so. It will tolerate even desert conditions so no watering is necessary once established, but it is less tolerant of humid conditions. The Mexican one will survive better in places with higher rainfall or around the edges of natural ponds where there is a lot of ground water and it tolerates humidity better. Fertilising is not generally recommended unless your soil is very low in nutrients or if you wish to make the palm grow very fast as they require only a minimum of nutrients to grow well. To establish you can use soluble fertilisers applied
when watering to ensure they are well established during their first summer. They can both be grown in strong containers on your terrace or balcony using an ordinary potting mixture but they will need some watering over summer, as the soil can dry out quickly in a container. They should not be watered over winter, unless they receive no rainfall and the soil mix becomes too dry. The invasive palm beetle that has devastated the unprotected Canary Island palms does not seem to bother the Washingtonia so much. It may be worth checking with your local agricultural office on the current procedures for protecting palms in your region if you wish to grow some palms in your garden.
Enliven your dull garden and comes in a variety of colours. They have large banana-like leaves that are sometimes striped and many produce eye-catching bursts of flowers. Angel wings, or caladi-
ums, have a very unique look with grand, spadeshaped leaves that can be bought in eye-catching combinations of green, pink, red and white. They are actually tropical
plants, so flourish in warmer climates. The leaves of Persian Shield, or Strobilanthes, have green and purple leaves that almost seem to glow in shady spaces.
Rocking a rockery By Kat Ashton A FANTASTIC feature in all gardens, but especially those in dry climates, rockeries are easy to build and are great opportunities to get the creative juices flowing. You can choose from a huge array of rock and plants to include, depending on your taste and what would work well in the garden. It is a good idea to start building a rockery when the weather is a bit cooler as it is heavy work and causes unnecessary strain under the hot sun. A sunny, well-drained patch of the garden is the best place to start building and if you have a slope of a mount this is even
better as it will give your garden an ‘au-natural’ appearance. The best types of rocks to use tend to be volcanic rock, sandstone and granite. While some people prefer natural shaped rocks, cut blocks can also create interesting dimensions in the garden. Always make sure you handle the rocks carefully and enlist the help of friends or a wheelbarrow if the rocks are particularly heavy. Plants that grow well in rockeries are those that are happy in dry conditions, such as cacti, bulbs, succulents and flowering plants. Mosses and lichens that grow on rocks also provide an extra layer of colour and dimension.

THE FEMALE: Bitches are more affectionate and easier to control than the male dog. They are roughly 30 per cent smaller and, whatever their breed, tend to be gentler with children. The bitch will come into season about every six months and this will last for around three weeks. The female is receptive to mating and extremely attractive to dogs that will instinctively try to mate with her. A good clear sign that a bitch is coming into ‘season’ is that she will produce a discharge; initially a blood stain, that will be deposited wherever she sits or lays. She will spend a great
deal of time licking her vagina. Be assured that your home will attract the local male dogs that will camp outside your home for about three weeks. Expect howling throughout the night to attract her attention. The female will attempt to escape at the first possible opportunity so it is wise to keep all doors closed and secure, especially when greeting your guests. I have known bitches that have chewed their way through doors during the night to get to the male dogs. Do not underestimate the great heights that male dogs can climb and jump to reach a bitch on heat. During this period it is well-known that the male dog can be extremely aggressive and may well attack you if you try to send him away. If you are not going to breed from your bitch it is best to consider having her neutered a few months before her first season. Veterinary Colleges have endless scientific proof that the female will live longer and the likelihood of mammary tumours is negligible. She will certainly not put on weight. THE MALE: Male dogs, whatever their breed,
NEUTERED DOGS: Happier and more affectionate to owners. tend to be more dominant than the female. The adult male has an instinctive urge to escape and wander free from home for periods ranging from an hour to several days or weeks. Often a clear sign of a dominant male, although house-trained, will show when he starts to lift his leg in the house and urinate on walls and furniture. He does this to scent-mark his territory and to affirm his domi-
nant status. This type of dog should be castrated. Owners of dominant dogs should spend time reinforcing their own dominance and insisting on absolute obedience. This can be achieved through a training club where you can learn how to control the dominant male when he meets another dominant male dog. Dogs that are confined and not al-

lowed to roam can develop sexual frustration and will mount the human leg and even mount children who crawl on the floor. This is intolerable and very dangerous to a child. The best way to deal with this is to discuss the problem in an honest way with the vet who might consider either using a female hormone to try to counteract the condition or to castrate the dog. I personally recommend castration for all dogs that are not to be used for breeding purposes. A castrated dog is happy and free from worry and frustration. He will be more pleasant to have around, less likely to fight other males and more submissive to the wishes of the human pack leader. By having a dog castrated in no way alters any other instincts. He will guard, hunt, work, and retrieve. The best time to castrate a male dog is around five to six months before he starts to lift his leg. Your vet will advise when your dog is suitable for this minor operation. Within 24 hours your dog will have fully recovered from the operation.

Porsche power redefined CONSIDERED one of the most powerful sports cars on the planet, the Porsche Sport Turismo is becoming a plug-in hybrid. The German manufacturer’s new Panamera Turbo SE Hybrid Sport Turismo combines an electric motor with a monstrous fourlitre V8 engine. It will generate 680bhp, do 0100kph in just 3.4 seconds, and hit a top speed of 310km/h with ease. The Hybrid Panamera also boasts incredible fuel efficiency of 3.0 l/100km and a power consumption of 17.6kWh/100km. Using only the electric motor it has a range of 49km at a topspeed of 140km/h. The battery can be fully charged in under three hours. The engineering marvels extend to the design. There is a ful-

position automatically at speeds over 170km/h. Turbulence at high speed is minimised by automatic streamlining. Inside there is 425 litres of

pands to 1,295 litres. The Panamera Turbo SE Hybrid Sport Turismo is now available for orders. The full package with power steering and dynamic chassis control starts at €188,592 in Germany.
Trippy crossings AN Icelandic company has created a unique 3D zebra crossing. Ve g a m a l u n wants to bring the innovative idea to the streets of Europe, after it successfully debuted in China and India. The ‘3D’ crossing actually employs a clever optical illusion by painting the white strips in 3D paint. It isn’t actually a hologram but works in a similar w a y, g i v i n g a p p r o a c h i n g drivers the impression that the crossing is three-dimensional. That alone is psychedelic enough to get drivers to slow down and pay attention. If the trial works well in Iceland, a country not known for its wild driving, then tech firms across Europe are bound to take notice.

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher WHILE the VW Golf and Vauxhall Astra dominate the family hatchback class, there are other worthy contenders who are often overlooked, perhaps most notably the Hyundai i30. The i30 is well-built, well-equipped, pleasing to drive and comes with a five-year unlimited mileage warranty, so the overall package ticks most of the boxes for would-be buyers in this hard-fought sector. Prices start at €19,334 (£16,995) but you need to move up a notch or two to get extras including parking sensors, sat-nav and connectivity features. My test model was the top-spec Premium SE 1.4-litre petrol version which has all those features plus 17-inch alloys, powered driver’s seat, part-leather upholstery, climatecontrol, cruise-control, auto lights and wipers, sunroof, rear-camera, touchscreen and a lot of safety kit including lane departure and rear cross-traffic warnings. You also get puddle-lights and chrome detailing. Overall, it’s a great spec but does hike up the price to €27,576 (£24,240). The 138bhp engine is smooth and responsive and delivers a sprightly 0-100 km/h in 8.9 seconds, has a top speed of 209 km/h (130 mph) and fuel economy of 18.5L/100km (52.3 mpg). On the road, the i30 performs well. A sixspeed manual gearbox is standard and is slick and efficient, and while the steering could provide more feedback, there is still plenty of

Hyundai i30 Premium grip and the ride is very comfortable, especially on longer trips. Cabin accommodation is good, with head and legroom for all but the tallest rear occupants. The boot, at 350 litres, is larger than those of the Golf and Astra, and with rear seats folded - a neat one-touch action - you are getting a whopping 1,301 litres. The dashboard has a logical layout with dials and controls in-vision and within easy reach. The i30 has been specially designed for the European market and its smart new look is more noticeable than the rather staid appearanc e
of some of its main rivals. It should be on the short-list of anyone in the market for a new family hatchback. It impresses as a safe and dependable car and anyone who checks one out will be surprised at how good it looks close-up, and also how much kit it offers. Plus, as a bonus, its five-year warranty beats all its main rivals.

Lean, green, Dyson machine VACUUM company Dyson is set to invade the motoring market with an audacious multi-billion investment in a new electric car to hit the streets in 2020. Sir James Dyson, the man who transformed British carpets with his vacuum cleaner 30 years ago, has harboured a grudge against the motoring world for decades. In the 1990s car firms refused to use his specially-devised emission-reducing exhaust pipes. The 70-year-old entrepreneur has a green streak in his blood and has been planning to build his very own ecofriendly car ever since. He believes Dyson’s battery expertise, drawn from its advanced collection of hoovers, heaters and hand dryers. “There’s no point in doing one like everybody else’s,” he said when pressed on the design.
Lorry cartel smashed A VOLKSWAGEN-owned lorry firm was fined almost €1 billion for price fixing. Scania is on the verge of bankruptcy after being slapped with the €880 penalty by the European Commission. Judges found that Scania and five subsidiaries of Daimler, Iveco, Volvo, Renault and MAN, conspired for almost 20 years to fix lorry prices.
They also worked together to avoid paying for expensive emissions-reducing technology. The five other companies admitted fault and settled with the commission. But Scania protested its innocence and was punished by judges. Fines totalling €3.8 billion have been imposed on the cartel.

Classic Car Club of Andalucia
The CCCA: What next? Motoring correspondent Ian Giles reports on the latest news from the Andalucia Classic Car Club, the most successful such society in the area and probably in Spain with over 600 members. FTER a hugely busy September and numerous events and car runs to celebrate nine busy years, the club presses on unabated with its programme of events for the autumn and winter. Next on the agenda is the October Club night and dinner at El Chaparral. This will have just taken place by the time you read this but the October classic car run and lunch will be happening this Saturday, October 7. The Run will be organised by Club Presidente, Ian Giles, ably assisted by Richard Masters. An interesting route is promised but details will not, as usual, be released until participants collect their Roadbooks at the start and after a decent breakfast. I can tell you that the finish will be at Venta Los Almendros, just above San Pedro on the Ronda road. Cars will start arriving from around 2.30pm for a welcome drink and then crews will enjoy a good lunch while the cars recover, parked outside.
A
Non members are welcome to come along to see the cars and chat to members. Lunch for visitors will also be available at reduced rates for those that might like to stay on.
Christmas and the winter ALTHOUGH November events are yet to be planned, as is the special Christmas classic car run and lunch on December 9, I can tell you that there will be a fabulous Christmas Party at La Sala in Puerto Banus on Tuesday, December 12. A very special deal has been put together buy Messrs Giles and Masters and a fabulous evening is promised. Hotel accommodation at the five-star Andalucia Plaza hotel has been arranged at reduced rates and this is a mere short walk to the Party venue. The Club will have its own, private room for the evening with exclusive bar, live music and dancing. Cava will be served on arrival and all this, together with a superb, traditional Christmas menu will cost only €45 pp. Food and service is always first-class here and members can be assured of a very fine night out! Do contact Club Presidente, Ian Giles, if you would like to attend.
Formula 1 NOT entirely classic cars, but nearly all classic car enthusiasts are most interested in motor racing, especially F1. If you are a fan or follower of the current F1 season you will know that Britain’s Lewis Hamilton now leads the World Championship ahead of Germany’s Sebastian Vettel. Holland’s young rising superstar, Max Verstappen, has just won the Malaysian GP for Red Bull as I write this. You might be interested to know that the CCCA has numerous luminaries from the world of motor-sport amongst it’s members and Honorary lifetime member, former McLaren F1 team boss, Jo Ramirez, is a regular participant in all forms of CCCA Club events and is a passionate classic car enthusiast himself. He has just returned from the Singapore GP and, later this month, heads off for the Mexican GP where he is an ambassador for the race. Not only that, he is a very fine, and much cherished, ambassador for the classic Car Club of Andalucia! You can always find information on what is happening with this vibrant and active classic car club by taking a look at the website, www.cccandalucia.com. Non-members are welcome to attend the Club’s monthly dinners at El Chaparral Golf Club which are held, without fail, on the first Tuesday of every month. However, to participate in the numerous four-wheel activities, full membership is required. That’s it from me for now, more in two weeks time.
The next long classic car event THE Club’s next bigger, and longer, event is the six-day Tour D’Extremadura starting later this month. A full entry of 30 cars, 60 people, has been received and the participants are in for a real treat! Some spectacular scenery, amazing, traffic free roads and beautiful, Parador hotels along with some superb dinners including one ‘Black-Tie’ gala night. This event is put on in the style of the longer European events of the 1950’s and early 1960’s before timing became everything. There is still some emphasis on the challenge of navigation but none of that is taken too seriously and there are no time pressures or Time Controls. More important to most crews is where they are staying the night, what is on the menu for dinner, particularly what is on the wine list, and where the route will take them. All great fun and always these events produce a marvellous entry of like-minded hedonists itching to get out and explore Andalucia in their fine motor cars. I can’t think of a better way of spending a week in Spain! Not only is there a full entry for this spectacular event, but two crews are joining in from the Jaguar Enthusiasts and a number of members are coming especially from the UK, Ireland, Holland and even from Texas in the good ole US of A. A splendid party is in the making!
Further information on Classic Car Club of Andalucia events can be found on the Club’s website www.cccandalucia.com. Membership of this vibrant club is open to anyone owning a genuine classic car here in Spain. Saca tu coche clásico del garaje y diviértete con el.

England chief’s heart to Hart with stopper Joe ENGLAND’S 2018 World Cup qualifying Group F campaign continues on October 5 with a Wembley fixture against Slovenia ahead of a trip to Lithuania on October 8 - with manager Gareth Southgate backing Joe Hart. “We owed Joe Hart for getting a point against Slovenia in October 2016 - he was fantastic,” said Southgate. England top the six-team Group F table, with 20 points from eight games going into the game against Slovenia, having been held to a goalless draw when the teams last met. Hart, on loan at West Ham from Manchester City, said of his club future: “I was in Italy all last season. I love being at West Ham and I’m

As well as International, Premier League and La Liga football news, he will also focus his attention on Horse racing, Volvo Ocean Race Sailing, Formula 1, Rugby, Swimming, Golf’s European Tour, World Championship Rallying, Cricket and Boxing. This will guarantee the EWN knock-out year-round coverage. grateful. “I’ve got until the end of May here - my concentration and focus is on doing my best.” Hart has been criticised for his errors in recent seasons -
for both club and country but Southgate has stood by him. “When Joe is calm and composed he’s at his best it’s something we’ve discussed,” said Southgate, who
replaced sacked Sam Allardyce as national manager. Manchester City midfielder Fabian Delph has been named in England’s 26-man squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Lithuania. Delph has not made an international appearance since the 2-0 defeat against Spain in November 2015: “We think he’s a really good player who has been unfortunate with injury,” said Southgate. England were less than impressive - despite chalking up victory on September 1 against Malta, in what was a very late landslide 4-0 win, with boos coming from sections of the crowd. Malta are rated 190th in the world by FIFA. Against Slovakia England ground out a 2-1 win, having trailed 1-0. England will qualify for next summer ’s World Cup in Russia if they beat Slovenia; or if they draw and Slovakia, their closest challengers in Group F, fail to win. England squad: Goalkeepers: Joe Hart, Fraser Forster, Jack Butland, Jordan Pickford. Defenders: Ryan Bertrand, Aaron Cresswell, Gary Cahill, Phil Jones, Harry
Maguire, John Stones, Michael Keane, Chris Smalling, Kyle Walker, Kieran Trippier. Midfielders: Eric Dier, Fabian Delph, Jake Livermore, Jordan Henderson, Raheem Sterling, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jesse Lingard, Dele Alli. Forwards: Marcus Rashford, Harry Kane, Jermain Defoe, Daniel Sturridge. Southgate visited Russia for a World Cup ‘research trip’ in June, with England making the trip to view training bases. Germany, Belgium, Sweden and Brazil had arranged earlier trips in a bid to book the best venues. While the FA see St Petersburg and Moscow as preferred locations, other countries are looking at training facilities in Sochi and Rostov, citing a more predictable climate. The FA will want to avoid Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, listed by FIFA as a potential team base camp, one of 23 bases on offer in and around Moscow. The 2018 World Cup draw is scheduled to take place in the Kremlin on December 1, this year. Northern Ireland host table

Rooney in ‘driving seat’ in decision to hang up inte IT will be interesting to see what tasks ex-England star Wayne Rooney, who announced his retirement from international football in August, does in his Community Service Order humiliation, after pleading guilty to a drink-drive charge. Rooney, who rejoined Everton from Manchester United in the summer, was arrested by police for drink-driving after driving Laura Simpson home in her VW Beetle after a night out in a Cheshire bar. An incident that occurred while his wife Coleen, pregnant with their fourth child, was on holiday in Mallorca. Rooney, reportedly earning £150,000-
a-week, pleaded guilty to drink driving and was given a two year ban, and a 100 hours Community Service Order. Rooney was in the driving seat, so to speak, when looking at the tail-end of his career, in his decision to hang up his international boots after winning over 100 caps to concentrate on club games. Since his drink-drive debacle, Rooney, reportedly set to be fined £300,000 by Everton, is yet to face the humiliation of his Community Service Order. What Community Service Order would you want Rooney to do?

Scotland and England shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw in June and Brown said of The Auld Enemy game: “That was the turning point - it gave belief to the team.”

SPAIN return to the Rico Perez stadium in Alicante to host Albania on Friday October 6 in a 2018 World Cup qualifier ahead of travelling to Israel on Monday October 9. Spain defeated Italy in their Group G qualifier in September with a 3-0 World Cup qualifying win in Madrid, a result which leaves four-time Champions Italy facing a play-off spot in November to go to Russia. Spain followed up their 3-0 win against Italy with an emphatic 8-0 thrashing against Liechtenstein in September. Italy, who face Macedonia and Albania in October, had to qualify via the play-offs to reach the 1998 World Cup in France. Despite Italy’s woes veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon said: “We believe - and hope - to go to the World Cup in Russia.” Spain’s coach Julen Lopetegui, who succeeded Vicente Del Bosque as national chief 14 months ago, said Real Madrid midfielder Francisco ‘Isco’ Alarcon is better than ever. “Isco is playing better than last year, but the trust we place in him is because he has shown he deserves it,” said Lopetegui. Lopetegui said, “Isco’s growth as a player goes beyond his talent. He is a different type of player from Andres Iniesta - we can use them together.” A phone call from Angel Maria Villar, President of the Spanish Football Federation, lead to Lopetegui being appointed coach of Spain’s national team on July 21, 2016. “When the federation called my objective became the Spanish national team,” said Lopetegui. Spain’s goalkeeper David de Gea has backed Lopetegui in their quest to reach the 2018 World Cup: “I know Lopetegui from the Under-21 team,” said de Gea. Manchester United keeper de Gea, linked with a move to Real Madrid for the last two years, said: “He is a great coach and he prepares for matches very well.” Spain’s form leaves no doubts that they are heading to the World Cup Russia in 2018 underlined by Isco’s - nicknamed ‘Magic’ - performances. Added to Isco’s talent, coach Lopetegui points to Barca veteran Iniesta, 33: “He makes the difficult things look easy - he is an extraordinary player,” said Lopetegui. ISCO: Known as ‘Magic.’
