Crash catastrophe
STANDING TOGETHER: Mourners stand outside the town hall to pay their respects. A GROUP of four tourists on holiday in Tanzania died on Sunday morning when their SUV was crashed into by a lorry on their way to a safari. Three of the victims were women from Malaga, two of whom worked as nurses at the Hospital Clinico Virgen de la Victoria. The fourth of the group was an Italian friend of theirs who had been living in Malaga for many years. As confirmed by the company organis-
ing the safari, Tabia Tours, the deceased h av e b ee n ide ntifie d a s M a ria B e le n J ime n ez , M a ria Vic toria A la e z , J ua na Jimenez, and Sebastien Giordani. There were two other people travelling with them of Tanzanian nationality, the driver and the cook, who were also killed. Reports suggest that the lorry lost the function of its brakes and crashed into their off-road vehicle in the Arusha region.
Electrics shock HOODED robbers have attacked the electronics store of the Portuguese chain Worten in the El Ingenio de VelezMalaga shopping centre, for the second time in a month. The incident occurred at around 7am on Monday and the thieves smashed through the entrance before taking only two minutes to steal dozens of items. The managers of the shop are still in the process of itemising everything that has been taken. An almost identical robbery took place in the store
on August 15, and an investigation is ongoing into the perpetrators of both crimes as to whether it is the same group. In addition, last week two similar robberies took place at two mobile phone stores
located in the La Veronica shopping centre in Antequera (Movistar and Yoigo). The National Police is investigating all robberies and is not ruling out the possibility of one criminal network being behind all of them.
Relatives of the victims were contacted by the Spanish embassy in Tanzania to inform them of the tragedy. On Tuesday at 12pm a minute’s silence was held outside the Velez-Malaga Town Hall, to pay tribute to those that lost their lives. Mayor Antonio Moreno Ferrer expressed his deepest condolences to the family and friends of the deceased, on behalf of the council. He added that there was still no concrete information on the exact cause of the accident, or when the bodies can be repatriated, but that he would let them know as soon as possible.

Building a future A PROJECT to construct 2,386 new h o m e s i n To r r o x , w h i c h h a d b e e n scuppered by the 2008 financial crisis, is back underway. The ‘Puerto Narixa’ plan has a budget of €28.4 million for the development of a site more than one million square metres in size. The area will be divided into 36 estates and is located on the border with Nerja surrounded by olive groves and greenery. Desarrollos Ecosostenibles is the company in charge of the project and is working with a number of other businesses on it, as well as an investment fund. In recent weeks repairs have been carried out to some of the infrastructure that had been built back in 2009 but had been damaged by vandalism. A complete restructuring of the site’s sanitation and irrigation system is set to cost €1.4 million, and new green spaces and sports areas are also planned.

Migrant deaths ‘almost triple’ By Joe Gerrard THE number of people who died trying to reach Spain numbered 318 during the first half of 2018, almost three times the amount killed during the same period last year. About 27,600 migrants and refugees arrived in Spain between January and July. Around 23,800 of those came by sea and about 3,800 crossed the country’s borders by land, according to the latest United Nations (UN) figures. The UN said: “Crossing the Mediterranean has become even more lethal.” The total number of arrivals was almost 130 per cent higher than it was at the end of July 2017. About 12,100 people arrived in Spain during that time. A total of 113 of those died. The total number of arrivals in Spain between January and July was 700 off the total number of migrants who came to the country for the
year in 2017. Around 28,300 people arrived in the country during 2017. The most common origin country of those coming to Spain was Guinea. About 3,100 people came from the west African country. Around 2,600 came from Morocco, 2,200 from Mali, 1,200 from the Ivory Coast and around 1,000 from Syria. The UN’s High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) said in its latest Dangerous

TOLL UP: A total of 318 died from January to June. Journeys report that the western Mediterranean route via Spain was now the main point of entry into Europe. Around 26,000 people were registered in Greece and 18,500 arrived in Italy from January to July. A total of 1,512 people died while trying to reach Europe across all three routes. A total of 1,095 died while trying to reach Italy and 99 died while attempting to cross to
Greece. The UNHCR said there was no conclusive evidence that the rise in those travelling through Morocco to Spain was caused by it being harder to travel to Italy via Libya. Arrival numbers in Italy have declined by some 81 per cent, according to data. The body added the total number of arrivals in Europe was lower than it had been in
the previous two years. European states had taken measures to reduce irregular migration but they had not made it easier for migrants to enter through legal pathways, the UNHCR said. The body’s report said migrants came to Europe for a variety of reasons including to flee war or persecution, to be with family members or for work and education.

Tourist time
THE BIG PICTURE Nº 30
ALMOST 10,000 people have gathered in Torrox to celebrate the annual Tourist Day, which this year was combined with the International Festival of Cultures. They are events supported by the council designed to promote tourism in the area and boast an array of family friendly activities including live music, dancing, and international food produce.
Angry man A MAN has been arrested in VelezMalaga after becoming very aggressive towards his mother and threatening her. When officers arrived on the scene the man did not soften his behaviour but instead insulted and attacked them, injuring one of their unit who had to be taken to hospital to treat his wounds, though they are not serious.
Furry friends RESIDENTS of Cerro de Beas have collected more than 4,500 signatures for a petition to save the area’s animal shelter, which is facing closure. The campaign has been started by Action Animal Defence on digital platform Change.org to ask that the council show its support of abandoned animals and to back all local non-profit organisations in their work.
Water flow THE new socialist government is following through on its proposal to transfer water from the Iznajar reservoir to villages affected by the drought in the Antequera region. It is asking for administrative assistance from the local authorities to ensure the safe and efficient passage of the water, and stipulates that it should only be for human consumption, not for irrigation.
OIL BE: Cascamorras takes place in Granada Province today (Thursday).
Oily moly THESE people have covered themselves in black paint for a religious festival which takes place in two Granada Province villages today (Thursday). Jesus Maria Fontecha’s picture shows attendees at the 2016 edition of Cascamorras, a fiesta which takes place annually in the towns of Baza and Guadix. It is held prior to the Mass of Our Lady of Mercy on Saturday. The fiesta began at midnight last night when ‘cascamorras’ festival goers leave Guadix to take an icon of the Virgin Mary from Baza. They are accompanied by a drummer and flag bearer. Those taking part are covered in black paint on their
arrival in reference to a punishment meted out against a worker who supposedly gave the fiesta its name. Le ge nd ha s it tha t Cascam or r as, a wor ker from Guardix, discovering a sacred image of the Virgin Mary while working in Baza in the 15th century. Cascamorras attempted to carry the icon to Baza but it was stolen from him before he arrived. When he arrived in the town the locals were furious and covered him in black paint as a punishment. Church authorities decided to settle the dispute by allowing Baza to keep the icon, but letting Guadix celebrate in honour of it every year.
Folk heroes THE traditional Verdiales Montes de Benagalbon exhibition in Rincon de la Victoria will be celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. The exhibition, opening tomorrow (Friday), will be curated by Salvador Moreno Peralta and will feature many of the folklore aspects that make it so popular, including local folk costumes, instruments and local flora and fauna.
Grape wrath THE Junta de Andalucia has approved the allocation of €2.2 million to assist the grape industry up to 2020, as part of the Rural Development Programme, and 120 farmers in the province are set to benefit. Axarquia has seen a steady decline in the profitability of grape farming, which has been attributed to the rising appeal of mangos and avocados.
Bad education PARENTS of pupils of the planned Torre de Benagalbon school in Rincon de la Victoria are not ruling out protesting against the makeshift classrooms that have been erected while it continues to be constructed. As the opening day of the new school term approaches, they are more and more worried about the progress being made. Moreover, the parents are worried that the construction works
will pose a safety hazard to their children who will be taking lessons near to the site. As a result they have launched a social media campaign in which they blame the regional government of Andalucia for the delays. On Tuesday a parents’ group met with the Education Delegation to discuss the situation, and were told that crane work will stop on September 17, but that the school will not be completed until March 2019.

Hash heist OFFICERS of the Guardia Civil have arrested two men in an antidrug trafficking operation that saw the seizure of 1,800 kilos of hashish from a speedboat on the Torrox coast. Police surprised the traffickers as they came ashore near to the lighthouse and were trying to unload the drugs. The raid resulted in officers c onfi scat i ng 60 packages of drugs, along with the speedboat and two Toyota Land Cruiser

vehicles. This part of the Torrox coast, with its wealth of cliffs and complicated road access, has seen many attempts from criminal networks to bring drugs ashore in recent years. However most of these have been successfully intercepted by the hard working Guardia Civil.

JUMPING BACK: Borrell (inset) said Spain could possibly return to GMT.
Back in time SPAIN’S Foreign Minister and the European Union have both proposed altering the clocks of the country and the continent. Josep Borrell, the government’s top diplomat, said last week the country’s time could jump back one hour to be more in line with its geographic location. Former dictator Francisco Franco moved Spain into the Greenwich Mean Time plus one (GMT+1) zone in 1940. “Perhaps Spain should be in another time zone. Frankly I don’t know. Let’s give the European Parliament an opportunity to see if it is able to find a common denominator between countries that are in such different geographical situations,” Borrell said. The Foreign Minister’s comments come as the European Commission (EC), the European Union’s (EU) executive branch, said last week it was mulling ending daylight savings time. It follows a public poll which EC officials said showed there was overwhelming support for ending the practice of putting clocks forward in spring and turning them back in autumn. Around 4.6 million people from the EU’s 28 member
states took part in the online survey. Borrell said the proposals would have to be debated by Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) before being signed off by the EC. “All countries would have to explain their point of view and to what extent this would favour or otherwise affect work-family balance, the adaptation of timetables to the hours of daylight and energy consumption,” the Foreign Minister said. Borrell said he suspected member states would differ on the proposals. He added he was indifferent because his schedules were “continuous” in winter and in summer. “MEPs will have to make a decision about a problem that affects the people’s lives, the economy and energy consumption,” the Foreign Minister said. Franco pulled Spain out of GMT+0, the time zone of Britain, Ireland and Portugal, as a gesture of goodwill to Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler in 1940. The move was taken in a bid to bring Europe’s fascist dictatorships more in line with one another. It meant Spain saw less light in the morning and more in the evening.

THE ‘vulnerable’ young Polish man who hit the international headlines when he was paid €100 to have a man’s name tattooed on his face has decided to end his drink problem treatment and return to Benidorm. Tomek has decided to walk out of the alcohol rehab treatment centre that was organised for him by Benidorm’s British Businesses Association, who also raised funds for the removal of the tattoo from his face. The association said, “It is with great disappointment that we have to announce that Tomek has decided to end his treatment and return to Benidorm. “When he returns we will arrange for tattoo removal and, of course, use the funds only for the purpose of his health. “We would like to thank everyone, especially Alcoholicos Anonimos 24 horas who have offered Tomek the opportunity to rehabilitate his life offering not a week but up to two or three years of assistance and help without asking for anything in return. “They are also disappointed but understand that it’s not an easy road to give up after spending so much time on the streets and alcohol abuse. “They have also left the door open if Tomek wishes at any point to return.” They added: “We would also like to thank all of those who with kind words and donations have supported Tomek.” Karen Maling Cowles, president of the Benidorm British Business Association, on her own Facebook said: ‘You can lead a horse to water... springs to mind.’ Also writing on social media Karen Hanson said: ‘What a shame, these opportunities don’t always arise when

OUR VIEW A very British coup THE weekend in the UK is a good time for politicians of all colours to speak out on matters that they see as important. The Andrew Marr show is a perfect example of how politicians can use the media to promote their own causes and this past Sunday, former Minister for Brexit David Davis confirmed that having resigned over the Chequers Brexit proposal, he will vote against it when it reaches parliament. This seems to be one factor that unites many pro and anti Brexiteer MPs as well as the European Union with all sides becoming increasingly more committed to fight it. Boris Johnson in the meantime has been using his regular article in the Daily Telegraph to criticise the Prime Minister in what many in both media and politics see as his first real move in a campaign to see Mrs May deposed and replaced by himself. With a majority of just seven in the House of Commons it would not be beyond the realms of possibility for dissidents to vote against the Chequers proposals which would most likely ensure that Theresa May resigned. If Labour was not itself looking as if it is about to implode over the accusations of Anti-Semitism, it would be almost impossible to consider a Conservative ‘coup’ at this time, but in fact it may be that the Brexiteers would be happy to fight an election before March 2019 hoping that Johnson and his supporters would be elected. The words of President Kennedy come to mind (although perhaps not to some politicians) - ‘ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.’

ONLY 24 hours after the confirmation of her split with personal trainer Kris Boyson, 29, Katie Price showed she had swiftly moved on with an even younger man during a beach party at BH Mallorca in Magaluf. The glamour model looked as though she had forgotten all about her former flame as she smooched and groped businessman Alex Adderson 25, for all to see. The mother-of-five flaunted her surgically enhanced figure in a lilac and grey snakeskin
print bikini which featured a caged front and tie-side briefs. Katie did not hide her attraction to her new beau, hitching her tattooed leg up onto a chair and grinding on him, before puckering up for a kiss. Even though she was posing flirtatiously for photos with the hunk, she went for a relatively toned-down makeup look. Alex is said to be staying with Katie in his own plush villa, and wining and dining her.

Cyber-stalked child suicide prevented NATIONAL POLICE officers have prevented the suicide of a child who was being sexually harassed through the Internet. An international operation between Spanish officers, US Homeland Security Investiga-
tion (HSI) and Guatemalan police has led to the arrest of two people who cyber-stalked dozens of young people around the world. The two arrested contacted the children via the Internet from Guatemala and,
after gaining their trust, requested pornographic material about themselves. As time went by, the young people had to send more explicit images. HSI intercepted communications between a minor and a
dangerous sexual harasser in which the victim from Cataluña told of his intention to commit suicide because of the pressure he was under. The US agents found that the alleged harasser lived in Guatemala and informed the Guatemalan authorities. Subsequently, National Police officers specialising in cybercrime received an urgent communication from the Prosecutor’s Office investigating crimes against minors in Guatemala. The victim who wanted to end his life resided in Spain and needed to be located urgently. A rapid investigation led to the victim’s identity be-

ing established in just a few hours. Police in the victim’s hometown launched a search for the child and quickly found him wandering the streets and thus prevented his suicide. The mother of the child told the officers that she had noticed abnormal behaviour in her son but did not know that the problem was so serious. Guatemalan police then raided the harasser’s home, but he and an accomplice escaped. A search revealed the duo had been harassing dozens of children around the world. Months later, the Catalan child was again sexually harassed through the Internet. Family
vigilance prompted them to report the matter to police who forwarded the information to the Guatemalan police as the harassers were the same individuals who had earlier escaped. This time they were found, arrested and have since been jailed. Spanish National Police is teaching the Cyberexpert programme in schools, which aims to train children in the safe use of social networks and to raise their awareness of the risks they may encounter in the daily use of new technologies and the Internet.

Firm rate hike talks THE governing Partido Socialista (PSOE) has held talks with allies from a leftist party in Parliament over plans to increase a range of business taxes, a senior member said. The proposals were floated during talks between PSOE officials and members of the Unidos Podemos group over next year’s budget plans. Pablo Echenique, Podemos’ Organisation Secretary, said members of the government had told his party they were willing to look into proposals to hike rates on business savings. Making multinationals pay more to
by Joe Gerrard the Spanish Treasury and taxing transactions was also discussed, Echenique added. “Both parties were curious as to why many business taxes were not progressive and we considered studying it in future meetings,” Echenique said. “Taxation not only serves to pay for the Welfare State. It also serves to create economic justice in the country so that people and companies contribute in a progressive manner depending on their wealth,” the Podemos official added.
Progressive taxation refers to a system where payers hand over larger proportions of their earnings if those rise above set levels. Rates including those on banks, multinationals and digital firms were discussed at the meeting. There was also talk of simplifying the corporate tax regime which Echenique claimed left smaller companies paying proportionately higher levels of tax than large firms. Nothing was agreed at the meeting and both Podemos and PSOE are set to look into the proposals before committing to the plans.
SPAIN’S manufacturing sector grew slightly more than in July, by three points in August compared to 2.9 according to an industry index.

The Consumer Confidence Indicator (ICC), published by the Centre from Sociological Research (CIS), posted a figure of 102.4 for August, down 3.7 points on the previous month’s figure.
A number below 100 points indicates a negative outlook. The CIS phoned 2,000 Spanish households to gather the data. It said 66.5 per cent of respondents believed their economic situation was the same as it was six months ago. Respondents rated the current situation at 99.3 points owing to job, finance and economy factors, 2.4 less than July. Expectations stood at 105.6 points.
FIVE new general managers have been appointed to run the Strategic Planning and Projects, Conservation and Maintenance, Construction, Circulation and Capacity Management and Security, Processes and Corporate Systems departments of Spain’s railway infrastructure authority ADIF.
Profits up VERTICE 360, the audiovis u a l s e r v i c e s c o m p a n y, turned over €3.62 million between January and June t h i s y e a r, 6 4 . 2 p e r c e n t more than the same time last year and making for a net profit of €1.24 million according to regulators.
Tax ‘not announced’ THE Spanish government’s Commerce Minister has said the government had not announced new diesel tax plans after the Prime Minister said the levy may feature in next year’s budget. Reyes Maroto added the government was working with the industry and that any decision on such a tax would be taken with the
economy and consumers in mind. “There has been a lot of talk about the diesel tax but the government has not even announced it yet, let’s wait and see,” the minister said. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said government officials were mulling the levy as part of wider plans to curb pollution and save energy.

US dollar falters after dovish Fed comments Ask the expert Peter Loveday Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com
STAYING on top of the latest currency news can help you time your transfers more effectively, so find out what you should be looking out for over the next couple of weeks… Latest currency news So-called ‘no-deal’ Brexit fears have continued to weigh heavily on the pound in recent days, even after officials announced that the deadline for the conclusion of talks has been pushed back from October to November. This helped to drive the pound to euro exchange rate to a fresh 11-month low this week in spite of mounting tensions over the Italian budget. Across the pond, the GBP/USD exchange rate was able to recover some ground, thanks to unexpectedly dovish commentary from the American Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. What’s been happening? As the UK Treasury released technical notes relating to the impact of a no-deal Brexit investors were prompted to pile out of the pound once again.
GBP/USD: The exchange rate was able to recover some ground across the pond. With talks on key outstanding issues such as the Irish border still showing no signs of meaningful progress, hopes of a positive conclusion to negotiations remain limited. Even though the CBI reported the retail sales index for August showed a surprise uptick from 20 to 29, this proved not to be enough to give GBP exchange rates any significant boost. As the increase in sales was largely attributed to the British summer heatwave, rather than positive underlying trends, the impact of the data proved short-lived.
Signs of optimism in the latest European Central Bank (ECB) meeting minutes offered a boost to the euro, meanwhile. Although the ECB looks to be shifting towards a more positive outlook, the single currency still came under pressure thanks to worries over the Italian government. With the populist government on a collision course with EU budget rules, thus raising the threat of a fresh Eurozone crisis, confidence in the euro took a nosedive. The US dollar saw some fluctuations as mar-
kets reassessed the odds of the Fed raising interest rates twice more before the end of the year. However, as global trade tensions persisted this helped to limit the vulnerability of the dollar. What do you need to look out for? German and Eurozone inflation data for August could see the euro rally sharply across the board, with price pressures forecast to remain above the ECB’s 2 per cent target. As long as inflation continues to run higher than the ECB target, the chances of the central bank tightening monetary policy sooner rather than later are set to increase, likely weakening the pound. US trade data could provoke some volatility for the US dollar, with any widening of the deficit likely to encourage further action from the Trump administration to level the playing field. In terms of UK data, if August’s PMIs prove positive this may encourage the pound to return to a stronger footing against its rivals.

It’s all part of the magician’s illusion LEAPY LEE SAYS IT THE problem with politicians and their respective governments, is that in order to survive, they have to be, (among other things), appeasers, hypocrites, backside kissers, downright liars and media illusionists. Irrespective of their policies, their very survival relies on their skill to deliver each of these ‘attributes’ whenever deemed necessary. May and her party of disarray, are very good at most - if not all of them! Blatantly revealing her departments’ total disregard for the local British populace, she revealed a disgraceful appeasement of the Muslims who were slaughtering animals in their suburban back gardens, by declaring the practice was quite acceptable, if the meat was for their own use! No doubt her department also happily condoned the checkout person, who was allowed an unprecedented alcohol-free aisle because his religion didn’t allow it. This latest decision to grandly descend on South Africa, bearing gifts of foreign aid, and seeking future business ties to a country knee deep in diamonds, gold and other natural resources, actually manages to fill all the aforementioned criteria in one fell swoop. South Africa is run by a party steeped in bloodshed, corruption and terrorism. White inhabitants

OTHERS THINK IT
FOREIGN AID: Theresa May recently visited South Africa. are being murdered in the streets and have become victims of (largely unreported) genocide in a country run by a gang of despots, who retain much of their popularity by showing their black citizens they are willing to continually condone and support revenge on the white races who ‘stole’ their country. Following the same disastrous policies of Zim-
babwe, they are repossessing farms from white owners, who have run them successfully for generations, at an alarming rate. From 1994 to 2013 there were 1,544 murders on SA farms of which a mere 208 were black. A simpering May chooses to ignore all these racist atrocities and corrupt practices from this murderous bunch and dance among them (very
badly I may add!) offering ‘a wonderful future of trade and closer alliance between our great countries!’ And why has she chosen Africa as her initial venture into the forging of possible new postBrexit trade opportunities with the Commonwealth? Because she is totally aware that in these insecure, war torn and despot run countries, she will get the most favourable reception. She knows full well that these governments are desperate to be seen doing business with the ‘Mother country.’ It does untold good to their credibility and appearance of legitimacy among their own downtrodden citizens and indeed the rest of the world. In return, back in the UK, slippery May can boast of going forth into the world and fulfilling her promises to expand our global trade after leaving the EEC. All this is part of the illusion. While the British audience is busy looking at magician May, her ‘backstage assistants’ are busy negotiating the rest of the Brexit ‘compromises’ that will betray British democracy and keep us still tied to this unelected, overpaid bunch of utterly nasty self-serving Brussel zealots forever. Have a great week. Thanks for all your mail. Only 110 days till Christmas! Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

TECH FOR THE TIMID REMEMBER the famous Big Mac Index, invented by (peckish?) Economist journalists in 1986? It was intended as a more ‘realistic’ measure of a country’s wealth than the infinitely more boring Gross National Product. So today Ukrainians can buy three Big Macs for the price of one in Spain - which in turn is 30 per cent cheaper than in Switzerland. The index does of course come unstuck in those parts of the world McDonald’s hasn’t yet colonised. With relatively few golden-arch franchises, Africa has its own equivalent: the KFC Index. Also problematic is that you apparently get 8 per cent less burger in your Mexican Big Mac than you do in Australia. But now the techno age has spawned a new index. This one highlights the huge gap, nay gulf, between what it actually takes for consumers to buy the very same electronics around the world - devices almost all made in the same place (China), but with very dif-
Burgernomics vs the iPhone Which index shows how rich we really are: iPhones or Big Macs, wonders Terence Kennedy
BIG MAC: The techno age has spawned a new index. ferent degrees of affordability. Take the recent iPhone X. At a wallet-bruising €1,150 or so in much of Europe, it’s today’s most expensive mainstream phone (alongside its new rival, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9). The X has spawned an adaptation of the Big Mac Index: how long you would actually have to work to buy one.
The Swiss (yes, them again) can trouser a new iPhone X after working just 38 hours. Spaniards must toil nearly four times as much, 140 hours. Spare a free ringtone for the Ukrainians (708 hours), Indians (900 hours) and the poor old Egyptians (1,066 hours). The good news is that although
technology doubles in power roughly every two years according to Moore’s Law, fortunately it doesn’t double in price. In fact it’s getting cheaper. Back in 1982, you might recall from a previous column, a basic word-processor cost an eye-watering €7,500 in today’s money. Last night I spotted a mini computer on Amazon for €90, and a Raspberry Pi for barely a third of that. The original 2001 iPod was around €350, which would be about €500 today. But it isn’t: the current iPod costs less than €150 in most of Europe. And some lesser music players are now so cheap they’ll soon be giving them away with your cornflakes. So despite not living in Zurich there’s at least some hope for the rest of us. Burgernomics apart, by all the statistics technology is indeed becoming steadily more affordable for all of us every day we wait. It’s the waiting that’s so hard.
Loss leader WHILE the iPhone has virtually the highest profit margin of any mainstream techno product today (it sells for a bruising three times what it actually costs to make, still want to buy one?), some tech products actually sell below cost. Perhaps the most famous bargain is still Amazon’s Kindle e-reader. Not only does poor Mr Bezos make zero profit on every one he sells, but he’s actually selling it at a loss in many cases. Until you factor in all the ebooks he dearly hopes to flog you. Printers have long been sold with a similar rationale. They’re often highly-subsidised devices which you will finance many times over by buying their ink at a costper-drop infinitely higher than the finest Champagne. A pity there isn’t an indelible Cava.

EVER felt that September is the real start of the New Year - and not January? The time when, after the long summer break, kids are back at school and adults at work. So much so that, when I still lived and worked in the UK, I used to think of the day after the August Bank Holiday weekend as ‘back to school for adults.’ September always felt like a new beginning because of the change in routine (at least if you were in school or had kids in school). A time of fresh starts, self-evaluation and, for travel operators, the inevitable post-holiday complaints. Like some of the following that do nothing to dispel the stereotype that we Brits are a nation of whingers! Some past complaints from British tourists (all genuine - honest!) are particularly telling. One angry tourist who took a summer cruise around Alaska complained the weather wasn’t as warm as expected - ‘I wish I stayed at home!’ For another, ‘topless sunbathing should be banned!’ because her ‘holiday was ruined - my husband spent all day ogling women.’ Others moaned their holidays were

Just some old antelopes.’ A man even sent a complaint to Disneyworld claiming it was ‘too touristy.’ Other
complaints included: ‘You said the town was next to a volcano, but we went and there was no lava. I’m pretty sure it was just a mountain.’ ‘We booked an excursion to a water park but nobody told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels.’ Good grief! What’s up with these guys? I’d be more than happy to go out and buy a spare cossie and towel for that water park. Because it would mean I WAS having a holiday! (Handsome hunks, an extra bonus!)

LEGALLY SPEAKING
Will they get rollover credit? In your piece on capital gains you say that sellers over 65 who are tax resident in Spain and have lived in their home for three years can be exempt from Spanish capital gains tax. You then say that, if you use all the proceeds from your sale to purchase a new main residence in Spain, you can also be exempt from capital gains tax. We have just sold our cortijo near Almeria but have only lived there for two years. We are both Spanish tax resident, but under 65 years old. All the proceeds from the sale of our house of €125,000 were used to buy our new main residence also for €125,000, so we used all the money from the sale to buy the new house. Will we be exempt from paying the Spanish capital gains tax when declaring this on my tax return next year? N D B (Costa del Sol) Yes, you wi l l be David Searl exem pt f rom You and the Law Spani sh capi t al gai ns in Spain tax. This rollover credit is a separate regulation from the over-65 exemption and has nothing to do with age. Please check with a Spanish tax consultant.

A serious one this week Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I’VE been grumpy about this before, but this week my plight was brought to the notice of the world because it happened to someone in the public eye. Anne Wafula Strike, a Paralympian, had to wait nearly an hour to be helped from her flight. She had booked her assistance weeks before, as I have on many occasions. This is not an unusual occurrence. It happens at every airport and with every airline - people needing assistance can wait for ages to be helped from the aircraft. If you travel with your own wheelchair it can be a bigger problem because sometimes your chair is not brought to the aircraft and finishes up in the baggage hall. The other problem is that if there is more than one person needing assistance, everyone has to wait to be herded together and go off in a convoy. If it’s when you are boarding a lot of the time you are moved from one holding area to another. To be honest, the people that help you are all very good; it’s the actual system that’s the problem. Firstly, there are not enough helpers at most airports. Secondly, they need some disabled peoples’ input. All we want is to be able to
have almost the same choices as able bodied folks do at airports, train stations and even ports. I was going on a cruise; I got there in plenty of time and had booked assistance in advance. As everybody boarded they were greeted by members of staff with champers and music and a party atmosphere. I, in my wheelchair, was taken to another entrance in the area where they loaded the supplies and was loaded from there. That can’t be right, can it? Here’s something else that affects me. Not everyone in a wheelchair has a disability that means they cannot walk or stand or get out of their wheelchair. I suffer from Primary Orthostatic Tremor - Google it - I can walk but I cannot stand still for more than two or three seconds. The tremor in my legs is three to four times faster than someone with Parkinson’s. Tremors are measured in Hz. Parkinson’s tremors are between 4-6Hz. My tremor is 1517Hz. The point I’m making is, when you see someone get out of their wheelchair and walk, don’t do, as some people do, which is to either mutter ‘it’s a miracle’ or tut or whatever. Take a moment and accept they may be like me and have something rare that you have never heard of. Don’t group all wheelchair users as being the same. Sorry, a serious one this week, but hey ho. mikesenker@gmail.com

A day in the life of a debt collector AFTER 40 years in the debt collection industry I never cease to be surprised by the excuses given by some of the people we have to deal with. Of c o u r se m o st a re p o lite , helpful and eager to sort out any queries on the account. They are happy to confirm addresses and emails so that payment can be made and are delighted to arrange a payment plan mutually acceptable to client and customer. But some are so outlandish in their excuses that if it were not so serious one could say ‘you couldn’t write this stuff’… The most appalling excuses are when the debtor uses health or accident issues with family members , wh i c h a f t e r ch ec k in g o f course, are completely untrue. We have the fashion shop owner who has attended his mother’s fune r a l f i v e t i m e s s o fa r th is year … t h e c o n v e nien ce s to re mother who is only running the shop because the son (owner) has
OUTLANDISH: Some of the excuses given for non-payment. been in a horrific road crash in Germany only last week - he answered the telephone two days later and was shocked when we told him we thought he was in an accident… the very nice email from a concerned debtor because we had wished him a speedy recovery from his desperate illness, he was in fact enjoying a skiing holiday in Switzerland and could not understand why his manager
had given us such information. Then we have the more mundane, but more obvious excuses such as the old favourite ‘cheque is in the post,’ now superseded by ‘I definitely transferred the money last week through my computer,’ same excuse different century. The change of ownership exc us e is ofte n a c a us e for c oncern…. Business was sold sim-
ply on a handshake or ‘I am simply running the business because the owner has disappeared.’ Of course these excuses are not given every day but it is depressing that some people seem to lose any ethical morals when it comes to paying bills. Is it a sign of the times or the fact that creditors have allowed a credit situation to get out of control. I have always thought that it is not the debtor always at fault for taking extended credit, but the supplier’s fault for allowing it to happen. Inaction by any supplier, creditor, business or community, in any credit situation is often the root cause of late payment. The lesson to be learnt is often ‘The Quicker We Act The Sooner We Get Paid.’ U nfort unat el y t her e wi l l al ways be those that consider it a game to delay, frustrate and tease the supplier, but with professionalism, speed and determination such excuses can be overcome.
We must never be afraid of confronting late payment issues at a much earlier stage. In 40 years I have never been berated for genuinely and politely seeking to sort out an apparent late payment problem. After all it is not what you say, but how you say it. We wi l l never be f r ee f r om those that seek to avoid payment with untrue excuses but using all our skills it can often be overcome.

The need to be popular midweek could see you veer off track on a business matter. You have been warned and will be able to avoid it if you wish. Do not underestimate how much hassle a wrong move could cause you. On the domestic front, you are able to fully relax and enjoy good company.
As someone is not showing the required amount of interest in your activities, you need a plan. Telephoning them and pointing out what you have achieved is one way, but it's not cool. Getting a few people together and using someone else to blow your trumpet for you is better.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Having been dashing about like a mad thing, you find this week a refreshing change. Only when you slow down do you realise how much you have been doing and just how tired you have become. There are some social engagements that you would not miss for the world, however.

CODE BREAKER
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) By using your intuition midweek, you will be able to solve a small problem at the weekend. Thinking ahead sometimes seems a waste of time to you because circumstances have a way of changing, but it makes sense to put in a bit of extra effort if you are able to avoid aggravation.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) A mistake seems a small thing until someone notices it. Although you feel that they are making a mountain out of a molehill, it still leaves a nasty feeling. Get out and do something completely different at the weekend. Not only will it blow the cobwebs away, but it will also put in perspective any negative thoughts.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A business colleague may be less than honest with you. When it is a small matter you are used to them bending the truth. This is not, however, something that you will want to let go by, so stay on your toes. On the home front, you tend to be
snappy with loved ones because you are feeling stressed.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Looking for answers? They are there if only you go to the right source. There is no 'quick fix' this week and you need to delve deeper to get the information you need. It will be tempting to take a short cut but,believe me, it will not be worth the hassle in the longer term. Once you have the right facts you are truly in charge of what happens next.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You are very much in two minds about how to deal with a personal situation. Ask yourself which approach will help and which will do nothing to help at all. Although you want to shout at someone and feel negative at times, hold fire.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Getting a romantic situation wrong could cause a humourous moment this weekend. I am not telling you this so you can avoid it. You could do with a good laugh right now. Planning ahead is your preferred method but sometimes it is the lastminute decision that brings the best results.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) The thing that you have to tackle this week is uppermost in your mind, but don't dwell on it. Write it down and what you intend doing about it, then put it away. Relax and get on with other things. When you do come to take it out again and face the situation it will be so much easier.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Imposing restrictions on someone else also imposes restrictions on you. Why? Well, you have to hang around and see that your wishes are followed and take further action if they are not.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Avoid getting involved in other people's arguments. There is no way that you can come out a winner if you do. Taking a step backwards is sometimes the best thing. You have been down this path before, and did your intervention do any good?
QUIZ: TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE The last few letters of the answer to first questions will be the first few letters of the answer to the second question 1. Au is the chemical symbol for which precious metal? By what other, more common name is the Central Criminal Court in London, better known? 2. By what name is the clavicle better known? Daddy Cool, Sunny, Ma Baker and Rasputin were all UK hit singles for which Euro-Caribbean vocal group? 3. Clara and Daniel Peggotty, Betsey Trotwood and Edward Murdstone are all characters from which Charles Dickens’ novel? Which is the highest rank of officer in the British army? 4. Noted for its strong currents and storms, what is the name of the arm of the Atlantic Ocean in western Europe that is bordered by the west coast of France and the north coast of Spain? George Town is the capital of which group of three islands in the Caribbean Sea, south of Cuba? 5. The Valley in south-east London in the home ground of which League One football club? In the UK, what is the name of the manual semaphore used by racecourse bookmakers to exchange information? 6. What is the name of the syrupy blackcurrant liqueur produced mainly in Burgundy? Built in 1473, what is the name of the private chapel of
the popes in Rome? 7. What was the name of the sixth century BC Greek storyteller who was best known for his moral animal fables? Which Italian actress starred in the 1960 comedy film The Millionairess and the 1961 wartime drama La Ciociara, for which she won an Oscar? 8. Which 18th/19th century English mathematician and inventor was a pioneer of machine computing? Which dense bread roll in the shape of a ring is characteristic of Jewish baking? 9. Which is the largest planet in the solar system, a gas giant that is the fifth in order from the sun? Which English author of fantasy novels is best known for his Discworld series of 41 novels? 10. Who was the 44th president of the United States? Which city is the capital of Mali? Not a lot of people know that… the concept of BOGOF (buy one get one free) was first imported from the USA during the 1970’s recession, when food prices were very high. It came back into fashion in the late 1990s, led by big supermarket chains trying to gain a competitive advantage over each other.

I’m sorry, Becky just isn’t sharp
TV COUCH CRITIC by Adam Whalley-Lewis I’M not sure what William Makepeace Thackeray would have made of ITV’s adaptation of Vanity Fair, ITV Sundays. I’m not a fan, but as you will have guessed by now, I will give any TV and any Rioja a chance, even a period drama based on a novel I studied for A Level and haven’t touched since. Becky is complex, I remember that from sixth form, but she is no hero, a fact confirmed by the book’s subtitle, ‘A Novel without a Hero’ (another throwback to the Common Room). This latest offering is from the makers of Victoria and Poldark, so I should be recommending it to you, crowns, muscled torsos and the like. I’m not recommending it and not due to the lack of torsos and general regality. I just can’t get behind Becky. If she was on Facebook she would get a slightly awkward following, you know like Jacob R-M, but I don’t think this production works. Olivia Cooke plays the ‘Miranda Hart, look down the lens of the camera, knowingly,’ Becky who initially seeks to exploit the Sedley family, bring on Claudia Jessie as Amelia and then David Fynn as her wealthy but wet brother, Jos and well, nothing really happens. Monday night’s offering had Frances de La
SERIES 13: The Jonathan Ross Show started on Saturday night. Tour playing Aunt Matilda Crawley (no relation to the Downton Crawleys) and she was rather brilliant. Unfortunately, she is not going to save this adaptation and I doubt very much Dame Maggie could either. If you are a fan of the book, you will at least recognise the story, otherwise I would stay clear. My A Level result, oh a grade B, but I also had Animal Farm and something
written in ancient Greek to get my teeth into. If you weren’t watching the second offering from Vanity (drop the Fair, like actors do - I simply couldn’t imagine anyone but Julie doing Rita, darling) you might have caught Mother’s Day on BBC2, Monday. This thought provoking drama was set against the backdrop of an IRA bomb blast in Warrington in 1993. Twelve-year-
old Tim Parry was one of the victims and the programme followed his parents, Colin and Wendy along with campaigner for peace, Susan McHugh in the months after his death. Daniel Mays played Dad, Vicky McClure played Susan, but Anna Maxwell Martin steals the show with her performance as Mum. I won’t say any more, you might want to find this one on iPlayer, but have the tissues ready, Hello Sweetheart, Mummy’s Here will melt you. Going back to last weekend, The Jonathan Ross Show started series 13 on Saturday night, ITV. Such a pity that 13 clearly isn’t Jonathan’s lucky number. Mr Ross managed to begin the new series with nobody I had heard of. Now, I don’t pretend to be any better read or TV viewer than I am, but I didn’t recognise a single name. Meanwhile, Mr Norton is being blasted across social media by the BBC having fun with A-List names. Let’s hope that ITV find some decent funds or an A-Lister who has something to promote before Jonathan continues this Saturday. Looking forward, Hello Caroline, the BBC has Last Night of the Proms on Saturday with contributions from sing-along-events across the UK. Maybe we should try and get them to a Costa next year? Happy Viewing. HappyViewing1@outlook.com

Well groomed men A GOOD skin care regime is not exclusive to women, men need one too. Only cleansing and moisturising is not enough to keep male skin healthy and clean. To avoid dry, dull and brittle skin, it’s important to follow a skin care plan. Men tend to have oilier and thicker skin, so it’s advisable to choose a good facial cleanser that works on all kinds of skin. Cleansing sanitises and eliminates dead skin cells without drying. It also helps to avoid whiteheads, blackheads and acne. Toning balances and tightens. Moisturising prevents cracks and dry and dull skin, as well as offering protection and healing benefits. Sunscreen is a must, with a minimum SPF of 30, making sure it’s applied 15 minutes before heading out so that it is well absorbed. Exfoliation is crucial to eliminate dead skin cells from accumulating and causing bacterial infection. Used once a week, a gentle but granulated face scrub will smoothen the skin, eradicate dullness and soften hair follicles for a smoother shave with minimal irritation. The skin around the eyes lacks in sweat and oil glands, making it highly susceptible to under-eye dehydration. This shows itself as fine lines and wrin-

wash or shampoo when cleansing facial hair, taking care not to over shampoo as this can strip the hair of natural oils. Try applying beard oil with fragrance after washing.
IT’S a well-known fact that rooibos is better for you than normal tea, but just how much better is surprising. And once you’ve heard about these ‘extra’ health and beauty benefits, chances are you’ll be sipping rooibus in favour of your regular cuppa. An added bonus is that you can get all the beautifying effects without the herb, which originates from South Africa, even touching your lips. Acne sufferers will be interested to hear that rooibos is rich in alpha hydroxy and zinc – both vital nutrients for healthy skin. Alpha hydroxy reduces the signs of ageing and revitalises skin, while zinc heals wounds, protects against UV rays and has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help with acne, random monthly pimples and sunburn. Sip on a cup, or even apply the tea straight to your skin! Rooibus, also known as bush or redbush tea, is also said to help with hair loss. A cup a day not only keeps your locks healthy and strong, but may also help prevent hair loss. Apparently, its active ingredients actually help remove dead skin cells that block hair follicles and prevent hair from growing. It’s also packed with zinc, calcium, copper and potassium (essential for hair growth), and polyphenols (antioxidants), which promote shiny, soft tresses. It’s easy to prepare your own tea rinse at home. Steep for 30 minutes in boiled water. Once cooled, pour over freshly washed or conditioned hair, or simply spray it on. Allow to sit for 20 minutes before rinsing. As mentioned, the antioxidants in rooibos have anti-inflammatory properties, which assist in preventing cardiovascular disease, while its antiviral properties boost your immune system. It also has a hypoglycaemic effect on the body, helping to balance blood sugar and improve insulin resistance, which may help prevent the development of type 2 diabetes. The tea has also been proven to remedy irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The antispasmodic agents in rooibos help ease stomach aches and pains, and aid digestion. It is reported that this is because it smooths out the muscles in the gut. Sufferers should try drinking a cup about half an hour before a meal to get the most out of this effect. Apparently, rooibos can also help with asthma. It’s a bronchodilator (a substance that dilates the bronchi and bronchioles in lungs to increase airflow) and many researchers believe the tea can alleviate the symptoms of asthma. And finally, although there are bound to be even more health and beauty benefits, rooibos can help lower your cholesterol. Chrysoeriols, a flavonoid in rooibos, aids in blood circulation and has also been linked to reducing cholesterol.
BENEFITS: The positive effects of a cup of rooibos are far reaching.

SEPTEMBER in Axarquia finishes with a bang as it is time for the Feria de San Miguel in Velez-Malaga which runs from September 26 to October 1. This is a week when the whole town lets its hair down and has fun starting with what is described as a raucous (but still family-friendly) riot of spotty dresses, Sevillanas and daytime eating and drinking at the day fair, before it decamps out to the feria ground for fairground rides and late night partying in the evening. This year, there’ll be music from three popular artists and Arcangel, one of the

Eat Well
to Live Well by Andrew Harding LAST week I completed my discussion about vitamins, this week I want to discuss essential minerals. Essential minerals can be divided into two categories; macro and micro-minerals. Macro-minerals are defined as minerals present in the average human body of five grams or more, they are: Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium and potassium. Micro-minerals, (which I will discuss next week) are present in quantities a lot smaller than five grams. Calcium: The most abundant mineral in the body, is needed for bone and tooth formation and for a healthy nervous system. The average adult has 1kg of calcium in their body. Dairy products are a good source, as are non boned fish such as sardines and whitebait. Phosphorous: Is also required for bone and tooth formation and keeping the body’s cell walls intact. It has the same dietary sources as calcium. Magnesium: Is required to activate enzyme function and necessary for nerve function and bone formation. Any greenleaved vegetable is a good source. Sodium: This regulates the water con-

positive energy whilst enjoying the sun, the beach and the sea in the magical setting of the town. Tickets cost €29 plus fee for single entry or €45 for VIP which includes a special zone with exclusive toilets, but most of the camping space is now sold out although buses from the town will be in operation.

Spain is a hot country and salt is lost during perspiration, the resultant deficiency can result in muscle cramps. Potassium: Necessary for the normal functioning of cells, deficiency is rare because potassium is found in most foods; bananas are a particularly good source. This week’s recipe: (Chateaubriand: ‘A large steak cut from the thickest part of a fillet of beef.’) Roast Chateaubriand with a Bearnaise Sauce Serves 4 1kg piece Chateaubriand Steak 1 tablespoon olive oil Pour the olive oil into a frying pan on a medium heat.
Sear it on all sides to seal in the juices. Place in an oven tin and then into an oven pre-heated to 200 Celsius (conventional) or 180 Celsius (fan). Cook for 25 minutes per pound plus 25 minutes for medium to well done, 20 minutes per pound for rare to medium. When it is cooked, take it out of the oven, cover and let it rest for 10 minutes. While it is cooking make the Bearnaise Sauce. 140ml white wine vinegar 2 whole shallots, chopped 1 bunch tarragon, coarsely chopped Salt and freshly ground black or green pepper, to taste 170g butter 4 egg yolks Place the wine vinegar, salt, pepper, tarragon into a heat resistant bowl and then place in a pan containing water, heated to boiling. Boil until the volume has been reduced in volume by half. Strain and discard onion and tarragon. Pour back into the bowl and reduce heat to a very gentle simmer. Add the butter and stir until melted. Add egg yolks and continually stir. Serve.

But there are ways to keep that horde of bloodthirsty mosquitoes at bay by trying a few tips for a bitefree outdoor party.

This tip has the added advantage of keeping guests cooler, too, but be sure to a djus t the fa n s pe e d to a rate that shoos off mosquitoes without tablecloths and hair being blown all over the place. Citronella is a tried and tested mosquito repellent and by making your own, you c a n s a ve mone y a nd add a couple of extra scents if the uncut citronella smell is too overpowering.

The gurgling water fountain or designer bird bath might set the tone for a summer get-together, but could also be responsible for attracting mosquitoes. They also breed in standing water and don’t like to travel too far for food, so avoid entertaining near ponds or bird baths. It’s worth checki ng your garden for pockets of rainwater too, which coul d be a cul prit, and flush water regularly to outsmart them. Fi nal l y, t r y bur ni ng ground coffee beans.

Auris badge to disappear IT’S bye bye Auris and hello Corolla. Toyota has decided that all its new generation C-segment (compact) hatchbacks, sedans and estates will carry the Corolla name globally. This means that the Auris nameplate will be discontinued as the Japanese manufacturer capitalises on its Corolla brand, which has seen sales of 45 million around the world - more than any other car. The change will happen in 2019 with the introduction of the new
generation Corolla which will be adopting the common Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA), replacing the current three different platforms. “The TNGA engineering and design philosophy brings a whole new dimension to our next generation Csegment models. Adding to Corolla’s renowned

Opel’s latest hot hatch is launched OPEL has launched the new Corsa GSi, it’s latest iteration of a hot hatch. Insurance costs put them out of fashion for a while, but in recent years the market has seen resurgence for small, nimble cars that boast impressive performance. After the Insignia, the Corsa is the second GSi model now on offer. Opel says it has an “ultra- precise OPC chassis – for exemplary handling and short braking distances,” which have always been the virtues of the beast hot hatches. The new model is powered by Opel’s lively 1.4-litre turbo engine which produces 110 kW/150 hp and 220 Nm of torque. Fuel consumption isn’t too bad either, ranging between 5.1 l/100km on the open road and 8 l/100km around town. The four-cylinder power unit features a special GSi-calibration for increased responsiveness. It is paired with a short-
ratio, six-speed gearbox, for extra ng punch in second and third gears. This makes it quick off the
mark, reaching 100 km/h from rest in 8.9 seconds and has a top speed of a penalty points inducing 207 km/h.
our customers aspire to, such as a distinctive design, interior refinement, rewarding driving dynamics and powerful yet ef-

10 years of the CCCA! HE CCCA made it to 10 years old this week. To mark this extraordinary achievement, a week of celebrations are being held and the first of them, a special dinner with dancing and a party was held at Treetops Restaurante in El Chaparral Golf on Tuesday night. The place was absolutely packed to the rafters with over 140 people turning out to support the Club and enjoy the celebrations and a terrific dinner! Music and entertainment was provided by the lovely, and very talented, Karen Cooper. An enormous birthday cake was presented to the Club by Treetops Restaurante where the Club has held a dinner every month, without fail, for the past 10 years on the first Tuesday of every month. Thanks were given by Club Presidente, Ian Giles, to the staff of Treetops who always do such a good job. He also made special mention of the people who have contributed much from behind the scenes to the success of the Club and to the members themselves for their support in making this probably the biggest and most successful Club of its type in Spain. He added that little would change in the way the Club is run, or, more importantly, to the way in which the Club enjoys itself and uses its’ classic cars! Toasts were made to the Club in support of the next 10 years. This coming Saturday, the Club will have a special classic car run and lunch, culminating in yet another party and celebration. The start will be from Venta Los Almendros, just above San Pedro on the Ronda road, and will cover 140 kilometres through Ronda, El Burgo, Yunquera, Alozaina, Coin and Mijas before finishing at Avanto Beach Club near La
T
Cala de Mijas around 2.30pm. Cava and canapés will be served before an excellent lunch on the terrace there overlooking the beach. Parking will be available for the participating cars
immediately in front of the restaurant. If anyone would like to come and see the cars they will be parked there for most of Saturday afternoon. Live music will be provided and the pool bar will be opened for CCCA members when the afternoon festivities draw to a close. It is expected that around 50 classic and modern classic cars will take part and all will be on display at Avanto Beach when the run is finished. Want to be James Bond? IT is a fair certainty that most boys growing up in the 60’s and early 70’s wanted to be, or to be like, Ian Fleming’s James Bond. One of the main reasons, other than pulling the girls, was because of Bond’s rather special, and now iconic, silver Aston Martin DB5. One of these cars would be worth a small, sorry, no, a large, fortune now even if one should ever be available. To those with sufficient dream funds, it is going to be possible to emulate the great man, or at least his car, very soon. Aston Martin has announced that it is to build a

Add to that the displays of classic and historic cars everywhere, in and around the circuit, the memorabilia shops and stalls, the amazing flying displays by airplanes from two world wars which go on every hour or so over the full three days and, most important, the clothes and fashions that everyone wears mostly from the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s. It is an amazing weekend and, if you are an enthusiast or not, is not to be missed. Get more information from the official website www.goodwood.com That’s it from me for the moment,

Premier League Preview
MANCHESTER CITY maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a hard fought 2-1 victory over strugglers Newcastle. Guardiola’s side deservedly took the lead within the opening 10 minutes, through Raheem Sterling’s curling effort. But the home side missed clear-cut chances and were punished when striker Salomon Rondon set up DeAndre Yedlin to stroke home the equaliser before half-time. England full-back Kyle Walker came to City’s rescue with his first goal for the club, picking the ball up 30 yards out and drilling a low finish into the far corner of the net. City will host Fulham after the international break on September 15, while Newcastle will entertain Arsenal. Liverpool looked on course for a comfortable win over Leicester when, after Mohamed Salah had surprisingly

La Liga Preview
Barca hit top gear LIONEL MESSI and Luis Suarez both scored twice as Barcelona hit eight goals past La Liga newcomers Huesca. The minnows took the lead through Watford loanee Cucho Hernandez, before the floodgates opened against them and they discovered how ruthless top flight football can be. Other scorers for the Catalan side were Pulido (og) Dembele, Rakitic and Alba as the champions moved level with Real Madrid at the top of La Liga with nine points from three games. Huesca will hope to salvage some pride against Rayo Vallecano on September 14, while Barca will travel to Real Sociedad on September 15. Karim Benzema and
missed a sitter, Sadio Mane poked home from close range. The Reds’ lead was doubled when Roberto Firmino timed his run on to James Milner’s corner perfectly, and headed powerfully past Foxes keeper Kasper Schmeichel. However, Liverpool’s €74 million keeper Alisson, who has already shown flashes of flair this season, tried to turn past Kelechi Iheanacho but was tackled and Rachid Ghezzal stroked home the ensuing cross. But Jurgen Klopp’s side closed out the win to stay top of the league and will travel to Tottenham on September 15, and Leicester face Bournemouth. Alexandre Lacazette’s powerful late winner proved the difference in Arsenal’s thrilling 3-2 win over Cardiff. Arsenal will be hosted by winless Newcastle United on September 15, while Cardiff will make their way to Chelsea.
BRILLIANT BARCA: The Catalan side celebrate another imperious display. Gareth Bale continued their good goalscoring form since Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit as Real Madrid beat Leganes 4-1 in La Liga. Bale’s powerful effort got Los Blancos on the board before Guido Carrillo equalised with a penalty. Benzema was in the mood though and his first was a header that was awarded by the video assistant referee, and he then blasted in his fifth goal in four games. A Ramos penalty completed the rout for Real, and they will head to Athletic Bilbao on September 15, while Leganes will entertain Villarreal on September 16. Maxi Gomez and Iago
Aspas scored to give Celta Vi g o a d e s e r v e d 2 - 0 w i n over Atletico Madrid, with a third ruled out by the video assistant referee. Atletico, who are being tipped by many for a strong title challenge, had Sefan Savic sent off on 70 minutes for a second yellow card. The runners-up last season have four points from three games, going into the international break. Atletico will host Eibar on September 15, while C e l t a Vi g o w i l l t r a v e l t o Girona on September 17. Other fixtures will see Valencia host Real Betis, Espanyol entertain Levante, and Alaves travel to Real Valladolid.
MARK CAVENDISH will miss the Tour of Britain and will take an indefinite break from racing due to the presence of the Epstein-Barr virus in his system. Cavendish’s team Dimension Data added in a statement that the former world champion had unknowingly been racing and training with the virus over the last few months. It was something that the 33 year-old Max rider was ‘glad’ to hear as it helped to explain why he had been struggling for form. Cavendish had an extremely difficult Tour de France last month, finishing well outside the time cut on stage 11, having struggled to compete at the business end of any of the sprint stages. That was on the back of a series of crashes and injuries that derailed the first half of his year.
WHEEL BLOW: Cavendish will take time out to completely recover.
The 30-year-old Tour stage winner was also forced to miss a chunk of last season after being diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis - glandular fever - caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, and it has returned with cruel effects. Cavendish said: “This season I’ve not felt physically myself and despite showing good numbers on the bike I have felt that there’s something not right. “Given this and on the back of these medical results, I’m glad to now finally have some clarity as to why I haven’t been able to perform at my optimum level during this time. “I’m now looking forward to taking the time necessary in order to get back to 100 per cent fitness before then returning to racing again at peak physical condition.”

Ronaldo takes over Hamilton
wins thriller LEWIS HAMILTON claimed a dramatic a nd c ontrove rs ia l vic tory i n t he I t al i an Grand Prix, following a first-lap collision with Sebastian Vettel. The Mercedes driver fought an intense battle with Vettel’s team-mate Kimi Raikkonen throughout the race, and eventually passed him around the outside of the first corner with nine laps to go. Hamilton and Mercedes not only dashed Ferrari’s hopes of a home win after their first front-row lock-out at Monza for 18 years, but also extended the Briton’s championship lead over Vettel, who finished fourth, to 30 points. With Mercedes’ bogey track, Singapore, next on the schedule, it came at a perfect time for Hamilton, especially as Ferrari is expected to have faster cars for the rest of the season. Ferrari’s race began to unravel within four corners of the start, as Vettel spun trying to defend against an overtaking move by Hamilton at the second chicane on the first lap.
DRIVEN MAN: Hamilton celebrates another key win in Monza. Vettel’s car slid into Hamilton’s in the middle of the chicane and broke his front wing. The German was forced to recover lost ground and eventually fought back to finish fourth. Hamilton said: “I want to give it up to Ferrari, who put up a great challenge this weekend. “I could see so many British flags out there and they inspired me so much.”
