No to Julen case plea A COURT hearing the case against the owner of the well in which two-year-old Julen died has thrown out an attempt to make the boy’s father issue a joint statement with the defendant. The land owner, David Serrano, is accused of manslaughter by negligence and is currently facing trial at the Provincial Court of Malaga - the only one facing homicide charges. Julen Roselló died when he fell down a narrow shaft while out for a picnic with his parents on the land owned by family friend Serrano. Teams of miners worked for days to dig a parallel shaft to try and free Julen, but by the time they reached him it was too late. In latest developments Serrano’s defence team, Lawbird Legal Services, called for joint statements from the defendant and the boy’s father, José Roselló, blaming the people who drilled the narrow well for the tragedy. He also wanted Roselló to state that he had been warned about the existence of the newly drilled shaft. It was stated to be an attempt to clear the defendant’s name by tying together the two stories - that of the defendant and that of Roselló. However, the judge decided that such a joint statement was unnecessary and would make no difference to the outcome of the trial.

Ownership probe to save historic site THE future of the former hermitage of San Sebastian in Velez-Malaga, an ancient enclave built in 1497, looks set to be determined next week. The historical site is currently being used as warehouses and barns for livestock and has been for decades. The objective of the meeting, on Saturday, June 15, is to appeal the ownership of the site in order to claim the hermitage as a historic site and preserve its condition for the future.

The acting mayor of Culture, Cynthia García (PSOE), the technician of the Urbanism Management, Luis de Felipe, and president of the Association of Friends of San Sebastián, Lucía Godoy, held a meeting last Friday. During the meeting they expressed their optimism that a result is imminent and a hope that all the political parties can put together a coherent proposal to fight the ownership of the site. “Never has the rehabilitation of the hermitage been so close or so easy for our politicians, and I hope that other patrimonial issues become top of the agenda of our politicians,” he added.
The design and name is a homage to the early Messerschmitt three-wheeled vehicles designed by the famous German manufacturer, who is known as one of the most influential aircraft manufacturers in the world for their legendary fighters produced during the Second World War. The KR 25-E is made from high-tech materials and is powered by a 36-volt lithium battery, which provides the electrical power, although a second unit can be added to increase its range up to 180 kilometres. Aldfinger explains that it can travel on any road where bicycles and other hybrid vehicles are permitted.

Avocado fears FARMERS in the Malaga region of avocados are showing their concern over a possible downturn in local distribution due to Trump’s tariff implementation. The President of the United States has made an announcement that he is to impose a general tariff on all imports from Mexico in retaliation to the ongoing migrant crisis. The current proposed tariff is 5 per cent, however it is thought to increase to as much as 25 per cent if the issue persists. This will make the Mexican avocado industry turn its attention to Europe and potentially put pressure on local avocado growers to compete with a currently more profitable market. The Mexican region of Jalisco is the primary source for Spain’s tropical fruits due to their modern infrastructure and growing methods. Annually they can cultivate around 25,000 and 30,000 kilos per hectare whereas leading Spanish facilities are farming around 7,000 and 8,000 kilos per hectare. President of the Spanish Association of Tropical Fruits, Javier Braun, states that: “Presumably there will be an increase in shipments of Mexican avocados to Europe and this will cause a destabilisation of prices due to an increase in supply, although we hope that everything will be nothing.” However the CEO of Trops, the largest distributor in Spain of avocado and mango thinks it is too early to make hasty decisions. “The national avocado campaign has just ended and it is very quick to make assessments. We do not make valuations now.”

A MALAGA City court has ordered the Andalucian Health Service (SAS) to pay out €110,000 to the family of a child who died after not getting a bone marrow transplant. The Court of Contentious Administration heard doctors at Malaga’s Regional University Hospital had diagnosed the child with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) brain condition in December 2010. Damian Vazquez, of the Patient’s Advocate group and the lawyer acting on behalf of the child’s family, told the court the diagnosis came years too late. Vazquez said doctors had followed up on the child six months after he was born in April 2005. But hospital staff had not asked about his family’s medical history which included a grandfather with Addison’s disease, the lawyer said. Symptoms of the child’s illness had been detected in 2007 but a bone marrow transplant was not requested until 2010.

Cancer scam AN elaborate scam involving multiple parties has been alleged to have scammed millions of euros out of businesses and institutions, with a school in the district of Algarobbo being amongst the thousands of victims. National Police have reportedly infiltrated the network known the Linceci Association, which is accused of raising funds under the pretence of helping child cancer and assisting in third world emergencies. The raised funds were then used to fund the network’s growth and the employees’ wages and luxury lifestyles. The Association comprised of a complex infrastructure of several individual companies including a branch in Peru, that in total have scammed over €5 million from donations. A call centre was also set up to improve credibility but it is thought none of the operators were aware of where the donations were going. Several schools in the area including the Santa Ana AMPA of the Jose Gil Lopez School had donated approximately €1,400. Other schools targeted were in Malaga, Casares and Ronda. The investigation is still ongoing, with a number of arrests already being made, and more schools and organisations ready to come forward as victims of the scam.

ACCESS DENIED: Puigdemont was refused entry to the European Parliament (file photo).
Access denied By Joe Gerrard THE European Parliament has refused to give a provisional pass to the former president of Cataluña after being elected as an MEP. Carles Puidgemont, of the pro-independence Junts per Cataluyna, arrived at the parliament in Brussels to collect his pass last week. He was reportedly refused
entry after three Spanish parties asked the European Parliament not to issue passes for MEPs until they had formally taken office in Spain. Puigdemont said he and pro-independence figures would not allow themselves and their supports to be ignored. “We won the elections in Cataluña but the ‘democratic’ general secretary of the Euro-
pean Parliament considers that our voters are less respectable than the rest,” he said. An arrest warrant for sedition and rebellion remains active in Spain for Puigdemont over the 2017 independence push, meaning he would be detained if he returned. The former Catalan president fled Spain shortly after the warrant was issued in October last year.

LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics. If you are planning on living in Spain on a permanent basis, it’s a good idea to have a Spanish driving licence - in fact it is mandatory after a while. Here are some guidelines for current and new drivers on how to do this quickly and easily. If you already have a valid EU (European Union) Community or an EEA (European Economic Area) driving licence and meet the minimum driving age in Spain, you can use it for the first two years of residence in Spain, although you must register your details with the traffic authorities after six months. You can register at your Central Register of Drivers and Minor Offenders of the Provincial Traffic Headquarters. If you don’t obtain a Spanish driver’s licence after two years of residence in Spain and are caught driving, you can face a fine of around €200. Visit: www.dgt.es to find out more. Once the process is under way, you will have to adhere to the same conditions as Spanish licence holders: Have reached minimum age in Spain for the specific category of vehicle you want to drive, Relevant medical checks, Renew or exchange the licence after the first two years’ residence in Spain. If an EU licence is renewed in Spain it effectively converts it into a Spanish EU licence, which then needs to be renewed every 10 years up to the age of 65, and every five years after 65. The new regulation which requires new residents to exchange their licences for a Spanish one, was enforced three years ago. As such, Spain has agreements with more than 20 countries, allowing drivers to exchange a foreign driver’s licence for its equivalent. To find out more, check with your home country’s consulate in Spain or the Spanish Traffic Authority at www.sede.dgt.gob.es. To exchange your licence, you will need to fill out an application form that is issued by the Provincial Traffic Headquarters. (See the above website). The following documents will be required: Proof of identity (original passport and a copy), Proof of your residence for six months (Certificate of Registration in the Central Aliens Register - the NIE number), Application form (in Spanish), Current valid driving licence to be exchanged (original and a copy), Written declaration stating that you don’t have another driving licence of the same class in another country, Written declaration stating that you have not been suspended or banned, Two recent passport size photographs (32 by 25 mm), Medical fitness report (visit the DGT website for information). For new drivers, check the legal driving ages and permit types before you register. You can get details depending on what type of vehicle you want to drive by visiting: English-driving-school.com. The best option (for new drivers) is to go to a driving school as they take care of the registration process with the Jefatura (Jefatura Provincial de Trafico) on your behalf. Once you have registered, get your medical and vision test done, too. Theory tests can be done in a classroom or be computer based. The written test is normally taken in Spanish, but some places offer it in English. For more information, visit http://www.autoescuelacorsa.com.

Striking pacts EFFORTS to reach deals in town and city councils and in regional assemblies continue this week following local and regional elections at the end of this month. In Madrid, mayor Manuela Carmena, a former leftist judge with the Mas Madrid party, had the most council seats but could be ousted by an alliance between rightwing parties. Ciudadanos will likely be the kingmaker and will have to choose between working with the left or the conservative Partido Popular (PP) and far-right Vox. Barcelona’s Acting Mayor Ada Colau, of the cityfocused En Comu, faces having to strike a deal with the insurgent pro-independence Esquerra Republicana de Cataluya (ERC). PSOE faces a more straightforward path to power in Andalucia where it has taken six of eight of its diputacions.
Poll tracker: Partido Socialista (PSOE): 32.8 per cent, 152 seats Partido Popular (PP): 20.1 per cent, 82 seats Ciudadanos: 12.2 per cent, 32 seats Unidos Podemos: 13.3 per cent, 25 seats Result: PSOE largest party, no overall control
By Joe Gerrard SPAIN marked one year since the left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) took power following a successful motion of no confidence, with the party again reaching out to build a majority. PSOE’s Meritxell Batet, the new President of the Congress of Deputies, met with King Felipe on Monday to open talks on reaching a settlement among lawmakers. The two will also seek a path for acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to stay on in the post as per Constitutional arrangements for choosing governments following elections. In echoes of manoeuvres which brought Sanchez and the PSOE to power a year ago, the support of some smaller, regionalist parties will be needed for an absolute majority. PSOE is in a stronger position following the recent rounds of elections which left it the largest party in the Cortes by some margin. The party may be able to rid itself from a dependence on
Power struggle
DEALS: PSOE is seeking a working majority in Congress. pro-Catalan independence groups which effectively brought down his minority government earlier this year. The party’s claim to power is also strengthened by positive EU election results and a broadly successful showing in local and regional elections. Some of the regional groups who helped Sanchez oust his conservative Partido Popular
(PP) predecessor Mariano Rajoy have signalled they will work with him again. The Basque Partido Nacionalista Vasco (PNV) has said it would be willing to support PSOE. But its condition is thought to be that PSOE rules out working with the centrist Ciudadanos, who they see as a threat to their demands for greater self-rule.
This shows that Sanchez and PSOE will have to navigate their way through a tangled web of demands, animosities and rivalries in order to build a working majority. The path looked smoother prior to the May elections when it looked likely that PSOE would strike a deal with the leftist Podemos. But that party’s poor showing in those elections robbed them of their leverage, freeing up PSOE to consider more options. The most straightforward option for Sanchez remains working with Ciudadanos. The two parties have a combined total of 180 seats in Congress, four more than is needed for a majority. But there is little appetite for the pact amongst PSOE members and, as the case of PNV shows, Sanchez would risk alienating other parties.

After police arrived at the property, they allegedly found the man in the street and suffering from a cut to his cheekbone. According to officers, he was wearing a backpack and carrying his personal belongings, and told them his partner had thrown him out of the house.
Man extradited from Gibraltar A MAN has been extradited from Gibraltar by members of police who escorted him to the Spanish border before handing him over to Spanish officers. The 53-year-old suspect, identified as RB, was brought to justice by members of the Royal Gibraltar Police under a European Arrest Warrant after allegedly planning a kidnapping. According to Spanish media, the man was wanted in Valencia for conspiracy to carry out a kidnapping, as well as conspiracy to commit robbery. The suspect is due to appear at the Valencia Provincial Court on June 12.

Olive oil prices slide AN estimated 5,000 olive growers took to the streets of Jaen to protest at the drop in the price of olive oil which has wiped up to €1 billion from national income this year alone. Whilst the demonstration was peaceful organisers insist that this is the start of a major campaign aimed at encouraging both the government and the European Union to put in-
to place safeguards so that the producers of the oil will receive a reasonable return for the amount of work that they undertake. There is no obvious reason for a drop of up to 30 per cent in the price producers receive and cries of ‘robbery’ and ‘thieves’ were heard during the demonstration which took place outside of the Government Sub-Delegation building.

BREXIT BRIEF Litmus test A NEW pro-leave party is hoping to win its first parliamentary seat as voters go to the polls in the Peterborough by-election today (Thursday June 6). The Brexit Party, led by former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, hopes to capitalise on a strong showing at recent European Parliament elections. Labour is hoping to take the seat again after winning it by a slim majority from the Conservatives in 2017. Today’s by-election was called after sitting Labour MP Fiona Onasanya was removed by recall petition. Parties and pundits will be watching the vote closely. It is likely to be taken as a litmus test for whether The Brexit Party can make inroads into national politics. Results from the European Parliament election show about 38 per cent of voters in Peterborough backed Farage’s party. They also backed leave in the 2016 referendum by 61 per cent to 39 per cent. Previous attempts to create a united remain front for the election after talks between the Liberal Democrats, the Green party, Renew and Change UK were inconclusive. That means the remain vote is likely to be split, further benefiting the Brexit Parity in what is likely to become a de facto mini second referendum.
BREXIT EXTRA
Glimpsing the future By Joe Gerrard PARLIAMENTARY wrangling over Brexit has been temporarily put on the back-burner while the ruling Conservatives select their new leader, but proposals from contenders indicate how things could progress. There is currently a crowded field of candidates hoping to bag the party’s top job and the keys to 10 Downing Street. A total of 13 candidates are standing, with all having held some previous ministerial experience. The debate surrounding the race has already been moved in a hard Brexit direction. T h is is la rge ly dow n to the mood among Conservative memb e rs w ho a re by a nd la rge in fav o u r of B rita in le a ving the EU. About 59 per cent of members voted for Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party in recent European Parliament elections, according to a YouGov poll.

Conservative MPs. The di scussi on has qui ckl y turned to what is likely to be a red line for many members, the attitude of each candidate towards a no-deal Brexit. Cur r ent f r ont r unner Bor i s Johnson, former Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab, ex-Leader of the House of Com m ons Andr ea Leadsom and others have said they would be prepared to leave without a deal. I nt er nat i onal Devel opm ent Secretary Rory Stewart was the only candidate to rule that eventuality out, while former Universities Minister Sam Gyimah said he would hold a second referendum. Virtually all the candidates have sai d t hey woul d seek t o renegotiate the draft Withdrawal Deal struck by outgoing leader Theresa May. That means regardless of who wins the outcome of Brexit will be different to that envisioned by May.
US eyes up NHS access THE US’ ambassador to Britain Woody Johnson has said Washington would seek to open Britain’s NHS up to American companies as part of any post-Brexit trade deal leading to opposition figures claiming the health services as effectively up for sale.
No deal call IT would be ‘economic lunacy’ to leave the EU without a deal and Brexit is already leading to EU-based firms abandoning British supply chains, head of the Make UK industry association Stephen Phipson said.

‘Go away’ tourists TOURISTS in Granada City have been greeted with messages scrawled on the walls of one neighbourhood, including ‘go away.’ Pictures show several messages which appeared on the walls of the Albaicin area of the city. They include: ‘tourist: go away!,’ ‘Granada is not a postcard,’ both written in English, and: ‘Flamenco is not a show!’ written in Spanish. Messages written in English and aimed at tourists have sprung up across the Albaicin area in recent weeks, according to the Bajo Albaicin association.
Police said they are investigating the graffiti but no arrests have been made. Granada City is a popular hotspot for tourists who travel there to visit the Alhambra fortress and other sites. The news comes as a backlash against tourists has grown in parts of Spain including Mallorca and Barcelona in recent years. Anti-tourism campaigners claim the industry damages areas socially and environmentally and pushes up costs for residents. Industry figures and others argue it brings jobs and investment to areas popular with tourists.
Camera ‘hidden in bathroom’ POLICE have arrested a man on suspicion of placing a hidden camera in a portable work toilet to film his colleagues using it. Officers from the Guardia Civil claim the man hid the device in the toilet paper roll at a bathroom for an agricultural company in the Vinalopo
Medio region of Alicante. Police are now investigating how much footage could have been captured and what it was used for. Officers intervened after receiving a complaint from the manager of the company who alleged he had found a small video camera, and claimed an
employee must have placed it there. He handed over the camera to investigators who analysed its recordings, stored on a memory card, and found footage of five different women. In one video, a man is allegedly shown installing the camera using a can of glue.
RACIAL SLURS: The team have emblazoned the insults on their jerseys.
Football racism A FOOTBALL team made up of immigrants are wearing tops emblazoned with the racial slurs they receive in a bid to highlight the issue. The amateur team from Jerez de la Frontera said the insults are often shouted at them from side lines or from rival athletes. The team wore the jerseys for the final Tercera Andaluza division game for the 20182019 season. One player told media: “We are in the 21st century and I don’t understand how
they can still say these insults.” Slurs include the Spanish words for ‘gorilla,’ ‘slave,’ and ‘illegal.’ Midfielder Eric Josue Amang, who left Cameroon for Spain in 2013, told one publication: “We did it to tell everyone that we are not criminals.” He added: “We are people and we are not bothering anybody.” Alma de Africa’s players are from 12 different countries, including Nigeria, Bolivia, Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Mauritania, Ivory Coast and Morocco.
FINANCE Investing in renewables
THE head of the Acciona infrastructure and energy company has said it will continue to invest in clean power and hopes to expand its output. Jose Manuel Entrecanales told a meeting of company shareholders that Acciona plans to go from a total renewable output of 1,600 megawatts to 2,000 megawatts in the next 18 months. “Acciona will contribute to efforts to invest in renewables in Spain,” said Entrecanales. The president of the company said changes to regulations and positive results from reviews of asset remuneration made the investments possible.

The year-on-year increase in inflation in Spain according to the consumer price index (CPI) measure, down from the interannual rate of 1.5 per cent recorded in April.
Union on bank wage attitude
‘Not ready’ for next crisis A FORMER senior economic analyst at Spain’s central bank has said the country is ill-equipped to face another crisis like the one which struck the world in 2008. Former Bank of Spain Studies Director Jose Luis Malo de Molina said imbalances and risks were not addressed following the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent recession. “We are not prepared to absorb shocks like those seen in 2008. What happened during the crisis can happen again,” Malo de Molina said. The economist was speaking at the launch of his book ‘A Macroeconomic
By Joe Gerrard Vision of the 50 years of the Spanish Constitution.’ He said Spain’s productivity gap and the instability of its public finances were among factors which could make it difficult for the country to handle another economic crisis. Labour market problems including job precariousness and workers being underemployed was the ‘most worrying aspect’ of the current economic situation, Malo de Molina added. Acting Economy Minister Nadia Calviño also attended the launch of the book. She said economic reforms were
needed now while outlook remains positive. “You have to repair the roof while the sun is shining,” Calviño said. Calviño also commented on recent remarks from the Bank of Spain about the lack of savings among Spanish families. “If they cannot survive on their pay until the end of the month then they cannot save,” the minister said. It comes as central bank governor Pablo Hernandez de Cos said whichever parties take power following recent elections needed to face economic challenges promptly and decisively.
A TRADE UNION has accused Spain’s central bank of having an ‘unhealthy obession’ with the economic consequences of a planned minimum wage hike. The UGT said the Bank of Spain’s belief that an increase in the rate to €900 per month would negatively impact on job creation was harming its collective bargaining efforts. It comes as the central bank said in a report that it could not rule out job losses in the event the increase goes ahead. The wage rise was first floated in government budget plans.

CEC slam ‘threatening’ tax tone AN association of small and medium sized companies has accused the Spanish Treasury of sending letters about tax with a ‘threatening’ tone to some firms. The Spanish Confederation of Commerce (CEC) said small businesses with low turnover had received the letters warning them about inconsistencies in tax returns. It comes as retail sales have risen by 2 per cent but
small and medium sized firms have seen a drop of 0.5 per cent. CEC General Secretary Jose Guerrero said: “Owners are struggling to move their businesses forward. The last thing we need is a sword of Damocles over our heads.” The CEC is working ‘intensely’ to ensure small and medium sized companies can adapt to new consumer habits which have driven a rise in online sales.
Huawei 5G rollout CHINESE technology company Huawei is still set to put Spain’s new 5G network into place despite a ban on the company doing so in the US, according to the CEO of its Spanish division Tony Jin Yong.
New CEO IGOR GARZESI has been appointed the new CEO of Banco Mediolanum and has pledged to put the bank in an ‘unbeatable’ position after replacing Vittorio Colussi following a unanimous decision from the company’s board.
Scooter use MORE than one million trips have been made by around 300,000 unique users on Lime scooters since the company began operating in the cities of Pamplona, Madrid, Malaga, Valencia and Zaragoza, leading to reduction in emissions of 210,000 kilograms of CO2, according to company estimates.

Euro EUR/GBP: Up from £0.84 to £0.87 EUR/USD: Down from $1.12 to $1.11 The euro has spent the last month edging higher against a struggling pound but failing to exert itself against the US dollar. The news that the European Commission had slashed its growth forecasts for two of the largest economies in the Eurozone (Germany and Italy) applied some pressure to EUR/USD, as did the expectation that the European Central Bank (ECB) is likely to keep monetary policy accommodative for the foreseeable future. However, EUR rates were then boosted by the news that the White House would delay tariffs on all car imports by at least six months. The outcome of the EU elec-

with the British currency sliding against peers like the euro and US dollar in response to the collapse of cross-party Brexit talks. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn indicated that talks had gone as far as they could and that striking a deal is impossible amid the ‘increasing weakness and instability’ of the government.
All the ongoing Brexit uncertainty meant the pound was unable to benefit from Bank of England (BoE) Governor Mark Carney asserting that interest rates are likely to rise faster than investors expect. MPs are currently set to vote on the withdrawal bill in early June, and it was reported that if Mrs

May’s plan is defeated again, the UK will either be set for a no-deal or for Article 50 to be revoked. May has also implied that she will set out a timetable for her resignation next month. Such upheaval could send the pound lower in the weeks ahead. With so much Brexit news on the horizon, UK data releases are unlikely to have much impact on the pound. US Dollar USD/GBP: Up from £0.76 to £0.78 USD/EUR: Up from €0.88 to €0.89 Concerns that the US/China trade war is escalating has reduced demand for higher-risk assets in the last few weeks - boosting the US dollar in the process. An article from Chinese media stated: ‘If there is no real concrete action by the United States, it will be meaningless for you to come and talk. It is better to suspend the consultation completely and return to the normal working track.’ Trade concerns may continue driving USD movement in the near-term.

Not English any more?
LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT WHY is it that when anyone in the public eye decides to comment on issues of immigration and the effect it is having on Europe and its culture, they are immediately vilified by the politicians, media and a small number of snowflakes, but praised to the roof by the majority of the concerned local populace? Last week John Cleese was the latest shining example. Don’t get me wrong, I have not been too impressed with this man and his antics over the last few years, (although I adored Fawlty Towers!) But when he stated publicly that London was ‘not English any more,’ the ‘likes’ and concurring comments posted on social media were numbered in their thousands. However, with their usual monotonous regularity, the ‘Good Morning’ and other media discussion outlets, (with their, oh so carefully selected panelists!) went out of their way to argue a case to the contrary. He was accused of racism (Natch) being unpatriotic, disliking black people, Islamophobia and just about anything else designed to stifle the free speech of anyone who dares to speak out against what actually is, so obviously, manifesting across the whole of Europe. Well, I’m sure it comes as no surprise to most of you, that I am one of the untold thousands of beleaguered and vilified ‘ordinary’ public that is in wholehearted agreement with his remarks.
LONDON: Has it changed beyond recognition over the years? London isn’t English any more. It is a simple statement of fact. Frankly anyone who thinks otherwise, has either not been there, or walks around with a sack over their head. Over the last 30 years, this great city has
changed almost beyond all recognition. Large areas do truly resemble the Middle East. Often, when taking public transport, you can travel the whole journey without hearing the English language spoken once. When I was a young man
growing up in London, the only Burkas on show were worn by the wives of visiting Saudi Sheiks and Royalty escaping from Ramadan by travelling to the UK (where no one had even heard of it!) and wandering around Harrods and Hatton Garden, handbags stuffed with untold thousands, while their husbands wagered fortunes in the gambling clubs of the West End. These days, in many areas, you’d be hard pressed to find a female whose apparel didn’t cover her from head to foot. The point I am trying to make here is that it is glaringly obvious that London, and many other European cities, are not so culturally indigenous any more. Whether this is a good, or a bad thing is irrelevant. When the usual predictable lot emerge from the shadows, raising any objection they can think of to stifle one iota of reasonable discussion on the subject, methinks that many do protest far too much. Let them remember, that although many would prefer to turn our great societies into one of the suppressed countries of the Middle or Far East, freedom of speech is still at the very heart of our English heritage. It’s what our ancestors fought and died for. Woe betides those who seek to either erode or change this basic British right of existence. It will not sit well!

TECH FOR THE TIMID
Going gaga on gigas Terence Kennedy recalls when men were men and computers saved kilobytes
ON eBay I recently found a book I once wrote priced at €20. They also had another copy in the same condition, but this time with an added cachet: it was signed by the author. And cost €5 less. This humbling discovery set me to remembering the extent of that book’s original text. It was written on a simple DOS-based word-processor, and the entire text occupied a minuscule 532 KB - half a megabyte! Megabytes? Remember those before we all went gaga on gigas, teras and petas? When storage was so precious (and of course men were men and we all lived in cardboard boxes), a Sinclair ZX chess game didn’t even need 1KB to run (487 bytes is still apparently the world record). These days my toothbrush needs a thousand times that just to log its bedtime routine. Once the floppy disk and then the writeable CD bit the digital dust we became hugely cavalier w ith t h e sh e e r v o lu mes o f th e
stuff we now create and save. Wh ere it u se d to be said a floppy disk could hold a couple of hundred bibles, now we casually rac k u p a hundre d megabytes for a turgid report with a few piecharts, several gigabytes for Microsoft’s monster O ffice s u ite , a nd don’t ev en me n tio n jus t how man y s q u illi ons of megabytes today’s gargantuan games gobble up. Just how should we be backing up our precious information now there’s s o d a rn ed mu ch of it? (And you do of course backup, don’t you?). Of course there’s the famous ‘cloud,’ but good luck sucking all th o s e g ig s o f da ta ba c k dow n again come the day you have to rebuild your digital life after a disaster.
Safest of all is still the trusty old external drive, and the good news is that prices keep plummeting just slightly faster than our personal data sprouts like Jack’s beanstalk. You can of course keep using
flash drives and SD cards to back up, but despite ever-decreasing prices and ever-increasing capacities, the best bang f or your backup buck is still an external (USB) harddrive. What ever m edi um you choose ( and t he accompanying panel m i ght hel p) , don’t make the fundamental error I committed those many years ago: keeping your backup wi t h your com put er. Store it somewhere ‘off-site,’ even with a neighbour for safety. I didn’t - until a fire consumed both my computer and its backup on the same desk. So now if I want to see what I actually wrote back then it’s going to cost me that €20. Or €5 less for the signed copy.
HDD or SSD is the question WHAT should it be: a cheaper, heavier HDD, or the newer, more expensive but far faster SSD? Megabyte for megabyte the clunky old mechanical beasts are still the best bargain, but the gap is narrowing fast. And as a general rule of thumb, the bigger (ie higher capacity) drive you buy, the cheaper it gets per megabyte of storage. One thing you can safely ignore is the hoary old warning that solid-state storage wears out fast. Yes it can survive fewer read and write cycles than its mechanical predecessor, but these days that’s almost irrelevant. Some SSDs now have a 10-year warranty, and experts reckoned that one new model just out will last the average Joe 114 years. I’m not counting on outliving mine.

By David Worboys IF you were given the choice of the best era for your lifespan (80 years) which would you go for? It surely depends on whether you value material and technological advancement over moral and spiritual decline. I was born in 1939 just before the second outbreak of hostilities in Europe. The 40’s were years of war and sacrifice followed by years of deprivation and recovery. We spent the summer holidays on my grandparents’ farm in rural Bedfordshire. The house was lit by candles and heated by a fire in a grate with coke and newspapers. Our water came from the single village pump up the street where there was a solitary phone box, and the ‘bog’ was outside in the farmyard. We had a tin bath for personal hygiene and a mangle for rinsing the washing. We would return to Buckinghamshire after the holidays where there was electricity, running water, a flushing loo, a bath with taps - and, eventually, a washing machine. The next 70 years saw changes beyond our imagination. Many inventions and discoveries had already been

The best time to live?
BEST ERA: Which would you choose? made before the war, but were not were not yet available for the benefit of the general public. In the 50’s, computers and air conditioning were the preserve of only the major companies while only the more affluent could afford televisions, washing machines, refrigerators and heaters in their cars.
By the 80’s there were also numerous facilities which now seem indispensable. Personal computers, colour television, automatic transmission, remote control, automatic check-outs and credit cards. Today we benefit from inventions and technological breakthroughs
which were simply inconceivable in the 40’s. The use of DNA for tracking criminals, genetics and genealogy, the worldwide web, keyhole surgery, the smartphone, non-stop flights across the world, factory and domestic robots, and camera surveillance. There are driverless cars, artificial
intelligence, facial and voice recognition, sensors and remote control. However, our planet has gradually become a less stable place. The 50’s were an age of continuing innocence and tolerance followed by the swinging 60’s of free sex and the emergence of drugs. In subsequent decades traditions and standards began to disappear. Discipline, humour and common courtesies declined and the family unit began to break up. Confusion over sex began in the 90’s. Thanks to climate change, illegal hunting and factory farming, thousands of species of animal are endangered - as is the very existence of Earth and its inhabitants. We have seen a rise in terrorism increasing the risks to everyday life from Norway to New Zealand. Prior to 1939 there were too few home comforts and human rights. After 2019, there is confusion about so many aspects of the world we live in and its continued existence. My conclusion is that our generation got it right.

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) In your heart of hearts you know what you want out of life. It is a little timidity of spirit that is now stopping you. I know that recent experiences have sapped your confidence, but I have a message for you. Now is the time that you are most likely to make progress in your chosen field.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Let others whinge if they will. Being determined to get your own way, they will stand little chance. Recent disagreements have left a sour taste. In the best of worlds, things will not always go your way. Life would be boring if that were the case.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Awkward situations usually bring out the best in you and this week proves that. In the longer term, you will be grateful to those making things difficult now.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Be determined not to be intimidated by someone who thinks that they are superior. Decide who you will take advice (or orders) from and stick to it. You are not the person that you were in the past and others need to realise it.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Outside influences and pressures make it hard to concentrate. However, finances in particular need attention, so do not be distracted by others trying to put a finger into your 'pie'. Do not be concerned about making changes in your social life because this, in turn, will sort out some of your more immediate practical problems.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Being unusually uncertain of yourself this week could throw confusion into your ordered life. There is a partnership problem to be sorted out. Links with personal matters, however, make this tricky. Let some time pass so that someone close can get the message without feeling pressured.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Some loss of control over a project is

irksome. A new start that seemed so promising seems to be going off course. A real injection of time and effort will make all the difference, however. Midweek, you see things going in the right direction again. Keep finances simple and try not to combine business with pleasure.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You are holding a good hand. Deal with the right people and the rewards are high. There is potential for being cheated out of something that is morally yours, so it may be necessary to be 'difficult' or 'awkward' to get what you deserve. Some things you only get one shot at.

THE quiet dignity shown by Larry the cat on the doorstep of No 10 prior to Theresa May’s resignation speech is what I would wish for in the next prime minister. Before Theresa May could make the farewell speech, the stage first had to be made catfree. For 30 minutes, Larry the Downing Street mouser had sat on the doorstep, his back turned scornfully against the media as if to say: ‘What purrpuss do you serve? Are you fur real?’ before the door swung open and he was ushered inside. Theresa May led the Conservative party to a precipice; now that party is in danger of toppling over the edge. Its next leader has an unenviable task ahead. Bringing the party together will be as difficult as the Brexit negotiations, and the outcome just as unpredictable. Currently, everyone’s running in a selfindulgent leadership beauty parade. It’d be far easier if we had a list of MPs who AREN’T standing as candidates, it’d save time and space. And we can’t rule out the possibility Theresa May misreads the mood (again) and throws her hat into the ring. And heaven help us if Failing

Help! The race is on & the knives are out
LARRY THE CAT: He’s been through a lot in Downing Street. Grayling - Theresa May’s former campaign manager, overseeing a project that descended into chaos, delays, and ended in tears - should join the leadership scrum and win, it’d finish off the Tories
(and the country) for good. The old saying goes: ‘We get the police force we deserve.’ Well, we seem to be getting the prime ministers we deserve: spineless, two-faced, hypocritical, philanderers (Boris, not Theresa), misguided, targetless, frightened of their shadows (Theresa May again proving the point it’s possible to do an impossible job badly. And she did). It’s really hard to decide who exactly is the worst candidate: it’s such a crowded field. A deeply shallow pool full of the ruthless toothless. We’re simply spoilt for choice! In conclusion, I propose a knighthood for Larry the cat! He’s had to put up with so much, the poor thing must be so confused by the ever-changing personnel in his home...

LEGALLY SPEAKING Can they change their deed? Three years ago we bought a semi-detached villa in a community. The property is in fact bigger than our title deed says. We had a survey done and it shows that our property is 80 square metres bigger than the registered size. We would like to legalise this difference. It seems that we need a certificate from the community to show that no members oppose the change. When we asked the community administrator about this, he said it would be better if we do not do anything, just let it be. Or we have to wait 25 years. This does not make sense. M C (Costa del Sol)
To m a k e a David Searl change in a You and the Law property registration is in Spain a serious legal matter. Yo u w a n t t o o b t a i n a declaration of exceso de cabida, to ‘legalise’ your extra metres. It works like this: you go to the Notary with your survey and the Notary will then notify your neighbours, the co-lindantes, to appear and declare they are not opposed to the change. After 25 years no one can object in any case. You will need a lawyer for this and there will be expenses.

TO the Editor My friend was booked on to a low cost flight from Corvera to Leed’s Bradford on Friday, May 31 in the evening. After boarding, a technical fault meant the flight would be delayed, so they were disembarked and the baggage offloaded. They were informed that because the airport closed early on Fridays and Saturdays there would not be sufficient time to do the repair to meet the the closure time, and because of this the replacement aircraft would have to fly into Alicante. This meant they would not get to Leeds until the early hours of Saturday morning. I think I have my facts correct, and if so what a cowboy, village airstrip this herd of white elephants, this whole ill thought out, ego boosting money gobbling disaster has turned out to be. Derek Fearon
How’s it Leapy I APPLAUD your article on South Africa (Issue 1769). My wife and I were fortunate to have left SA two years ago and with me being UK born were welcomed into this lovely country we now live in. When I tell people about the life conditions in SA they look at me as if I’m talking gobbledy gook. The amount of farm murders, the couple who ran out of petrol last week who were shot dead for a mobile phone, SA has more road deaths over Christmas than the UK has for a whole year, the amount of unlicensed firearms, it’s worse than a war zone and nobody cares. Apartheid was started by a very short sighted man but what there is now, is Apartheid in reverse in a far worse state where you are forced to employ indigenous people, forced to have them in managerial positions, to have them as majority partners in your business and to have them in all sporting teams regardless of the consequences and or qualifications, you cannot employ the best qualified person, your business is allocated points for employment of black people, employment of coloured, Indian or whites gets you no points, not enough points no government or municipal work at all. I salute you for bringing some of the plight of all South Africans and Zimbabwians regardless of race or creed to light, it is the greedy ministers to blame. I loved the countries of my upbringing and do not condone racism in any form. Tony Potts

Flight chaos SUMMER ALERT DEAR Ed In my youth it was the first cuckoo of summer that announced the season had arrived and this memorable event was even announced in The Times newspaper! But here in Spain, things are different so I have been looking for a different sign to announce when summer arrives. Perhaps it would be the first French Air Traffic Controllers strike, but then I realised that they go on strike all year round. Then I thought it could be the sound of the first tourists arriving, but in certain places, they are

before we get to have a legal beer on the beach. But then it came to me, perhaps your newspaper should announce the first mosquito bite of summer. Sam Wright

NEWS that anti-tourist graffiti appeared on the walls of Granada City last week has reignited the debate over the effects of an economically vital industry on Spanish locals. Spain’s tourism sector is the third largest contributor to the overall economy, accounting for about 10 per cent of total output (Gross Domestic Product, GDP) according to government figures. The industry is responsible for developing large swathes of the country’s Mediterranean coastline which expatriates now call home, as pictures of Benidorm from the 1950s and 1960s illustrate. Cities such as Granada also draw a hefty dividend from tourists who spend their money in local shops, bars and restaurants, benefiting the wider economy. The traffic of travellers into Spain has also helped to build bonds across borders and break down misconceptions held by tourists and locals about each other and their countries. But as with all aspects of the economy, the gains are seldom shared equally and the price of success for some is suffering for others. The Canary and Balearic islands are both home to anti-tourism movements who argue the industry has led to overdevelopment, harming their homes and the environment. In Barcelona the rise of holiday rentals has seen residents priced or even turfed out of neighbourhoods where they grew up because of the lure of profits from tourism. If tensions are to be eased then the benefits from the industry must be more widely shared and the impact on locals reduced.

Anti-tourist graffiti appears in Granada I live in a simple flat in a tourist hotspot on Mallorca. The residents pay their rents and feed their families because of doing business with the people visiting their small city. Only very few residents are against tourists. Typically those who hate foreigners in general. But, as I said, they are very few in number. Property prices in certain Spanish areas are not surging because of tourism, but because of big companies and rich individuals who are buying up property for investment purposes. This property buyout happens all over Europe at the moment. Alexander R

Everything in life is temporary Joris Plu
ENJOY: If things are going bad, do not worry.
THERE is a nice quote which says ‘everything is temporary, emotions, thoughts, people and scenery. Do not become too attached. Just flow with it.’ I strongly believe that when you in your life can master this saying, you will be a very happy person. And of course the people around you will benefit from this state of mind. Yes we all know that everything is temporary, but still we find it very hard to live by this. The most common thing that keeps people away from acting towards this belief is not fully understanding that we are in control of our emotions. We do not fully understand that emotions are not controlling us -
even though it appears that way for many of us most of the time. Our thoughts which are led by
our emotions are temporary and controllable. If we can separate the emotion from our thinking, from
our brain and literally just look at the emotion from a distance - in a way examine it rationally - then we have a wonderful opportunity to see and feel that those emotions are not here to stay. It is not as easy done as said, but it can be done. And for those who know how to handle this there is a more peaceful life ahead. An example of how to do this is the next time you feel an emotion, use your brain, look at the emotion and ask yourself what kind it is. Look at the emotion from a distance. If it is fear for example, ask yourself where this fear is coming from. Because fear on its own does not really exist. With our brain we make something fearful, it comes from our past. What we have learned or experienced. Look at little children they have no fear. We as adults bring fear into their minds because we want to protect the children, maybe overprotect
them. Our parents brought fear into our minds. We can handle fear if we want to. Look differently towards it and experience it differently - even learn how not to accept it and let it go. We can control fear and make it something temporary. Another quote says: ‘Everything in life is temporary. So if things are going good, enjoy it because it won’t last forever. And if things are going bad, do not worry. It cannot last forever either.’ So dear friend, love life, now at this present moment. This is the moment that really exists. Enjoy it with a big smile on your face.

Surprising culprits
BLUEBERRIES: Scientists believe they may be key to improving heart health.
Superfoods A NEW study has shown that a cup of blueberries a day could reduce the risk of heart disease by around 15 per cent. Research at the University of East Anglia found that 150 grams of the fruit could improve blood flow and re-
duce stiffness of arteries. The study looked at 138 overweight and obese adults aged between 50 and 75, and with a combination of diabetes and high blood pressure. Scientists found the blueberries reduced their risk of heart disease
by between 12 and 15 per cent over six months. Dr Peter Curtis, the study’s co-author, said: “We found eating one cup of blueberries per day resulted in sustained improvements in vascular function and arterial stiffness.”

Geordie Shore in Ibiza
HEAVYWEIGHT boxer Tyson Fury’s younger brother Tommy has been revealed in the line-up for Love Island 2019. The boxer, from Manchester, will be packing his bags and jetting off to Mallorca and entering the villa to meet the girl of his dreams this summer. Tommy Fury described himself as an ‘honest, charismatic and charming’ guy that will go ‘to the moon and back’ to get the girl of his dreams. Looks-wise, Tommy has said he is looking for a gym-goer with blonde hair, blue eyes and a good tan. The cast for the fifth series of the hit show was confirmed last week ahead of its return to ITV2 on June 3.
Ruta Garum FOR hundreds of years the ancient world and Rome in particular used a fermented fish sauce known as Garum to flavour food. A lth o u g h s o me o f t he original recipes were lost
over time, some traces were found in the ruins of Pompeii which not only helped date the actual eruption but w he n a na lys e d ha s s inc e be e n us e d in c ooking in Cadiz. One of the main exports of classical Spain was Garum and now with the help of €14,000 from the European Union, a new Ruta Garum, a 22-kilometre route from Almuñécar through parts of Axarquia is to be created. The idea is to encourage another form of historic touris m w hic h w ill ta ke followers of the route on a journe y through sport, gastronomy, culture and history, with special emphasis on the importance of the fishing industry. Experiments with the crea tion of a s pe c ia l loc a l blend of Garum are planned with a gastronomic event featuring the condiment and sauce so beloved of ancient times.
LAST year ’s Love Island winner Jack Fincham partied with bikini babes on a night out in Ibiza last week. Jack appeared to be moving on from his recent split from fellow Love Islander Dani Dyer by going wild on a boys trip to the Spanish island. Newly single Jack was seen cuddling up to model Megan Bennett on a daydrinking session at Ocean Beach club. Also at the bash was fellow Love Island star Kaz Crossley and Towie’s Dan Edgar. Jack’s ex Dani has also moved on from the split by returning with her pre-Love Island boyfriend Sammy Kimmence. “I ain’t living a life to prove to people or to fake to people I am something I am not,” she said.

MTV personality Charlotte Crosby, 29, reunited with her Geordie Shore pals Holly Hagan and Chloe Ferry for a wild holiday in Ibiza last week. Holly, 26, joked about sharing a plastic surgeon with her pals as they partied by the pool at Ocean Beach club. The girls showed off their surgically enhanced curves, flowing hair extensions and plump pouts in a snap posted to Instagram with the caption: ‘When you all have the same surgeon’ followed by a winking emoji and a crying with laughter face. This comes after Charlotte revealed recently she is finally happy after removing her ‘painful’ breast implants. All of the Geordie Shore stars have been open about having cosmetic procedures in the past.

The coolest form of transport Get the BMW badge on your E-scooter
Nick Horne’s Morning Read Freelance correspondent, London, England Visiting Paris recently I was struck very nearly on several occasions by fast moving electric scooters. One in particular was bouncing across the cobbles on Place Vendome the pilot clutching a large bag branded with a high end company’s logo. I did detect a chuckle emerging from my throat as I watched the jowls of this ardent shopper bouncing in counterpoint to the rest of his body as he made his way cross the cobbled square the bag and its undoubtedly costly cargo waving to and fro. Later having had a slow and puzzled look at the Mona Lisa. Why does everyone who visits the Musee de Louvre in Paris have to tick that off the bucket list? Though we did too and rushed to the gallery itself and did so ahead of the crush. We then proceeded on to check in on the Venus de Milo and of course the Deity Athena dressed for war. As exhaustion, hunger and lunch was near I sat in a window seat in the Sully portion of the Palace and looking out across the enclosed courtyard spied an abandoned scooter. Alone in the midst of the vast courtyard the pilot stepped off and was nowhere to be seen in all of the lonely space. Over lunch we chatted mainly about the contents of the Musee de Louvre as well as the building itself its facilities and the many art-
Courtyard of the Sully Wing Musee de Louvre an abandoned electric scooter works contain and displayed. What we had seen and felt, but readily agreed that the swarms of scooters were the very thing. The scooters are racing down the boulevards as well as the many back streets and the many principal avenues. It had dawned on us that a phenomenon unknown to London was sweeping the French Capital. Scooters. Through and past the generally slow moving traffic these individuals, as well as smiling and embracing couples, were carving through to their destination with an air and grace barring of course the pilot with the shopping bag! Powered by battery and very workman like in outline yet vivacious when speeding at a far greater rate than a fast walk its electric motor spinning and whining. Yet when left carelessly
by the roadside somewhat forlorn and lacking any style at all. Dented, scratched and grey the only colour the red and white LED lens fore and aft. The small wheels defy the cobbles and race across the tarmac roads of the city, the plank of a platform the spindly shaft of the steering column all lend a precarious air to the enterprise of travel. Yet there they are and I have no doubt are here to stay in Paris and spread , quite possibly worldwide. The scooters we saw in Paris were work a day implements, no doubt conforming to whatever regulations if any that pertain to this excit-
ing new transport phenomenon. It occurred to me it could not be long before an Important Brand would step into this space and lay claim and association to the coolest transport mode since the Mini MOKE. I have not had to wait very long. BMW have just announced their EScooter to launch in the autumn 2019. In cooperation with the Micro Mobility Systems AG. They say that their BMW E-Scooter will have a range of twelve kilometres and a top speed of 20 km/h. Two separate braking systems , front and rear lights, a space saving design that will allow it to be folded up and weighs in at just nine kilos including the battery. The 150 watt motor and lithium ion battery slip out of sight into the footplate and rear wheel. Taking two hours to full charge it can be parked away neatly in space saving style on its integrated kickstand. Crucially of course this EScooter will also boast the classical blue BMW propeller logo! When you are asked what do you drive? “BMW”, may well be answer even for the greenest most ecological.

Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
PABLO CASADO believes the Partido Popular has won Madrid. Err, no, Pablo. He saved his skin by taking the two jewels in the Sp a n i sh c r o w n b y fo u l means, not fair. Ma n u e l a C a r m e n a an d M as Madrid were the most-voted in the municipal elections but the P P wi l l h a v e n o c o mp u n c tio n abo u t t e a m i n g u p w ith C iu dadanos to get into city hall, despite the bile on both sides during both elections. An d t h e PP wi l l h a v e e v en fewer qualms about getting into bed with Vox which is so far to the Right that it’s out of sight this side of democracy. The Madrid Community should have gone to the Left, too, where Mas Madrid and Iñigo Errejon were the most-voted b u t t h e y w o n ’t h a v e a c h a n c e thanks to the Andalucia threesome. Neither result is PP victory, they were Mas Madrid defeats.
Victory by default Leading by example PEDRO SANCHEZ and François Macron intend to attempt what, in the best of all possible worlds, should happen in Spain. Although Sanchez is a socialist and Macron a liberal, they hope to join forces to prevent the European People’s Party - the Partido
Popular to you and me - from taking over the European Commission. With 20 seats, the Spanish PSOE has more than any other socialist party in the European Parliament and the same goes for Macron’s 21 Renaissance seats. After 15 years of conservative domination, they want socialists and liberals to introduce a more progressive U agenda.
And all the while, Sanchez will be looking over his shoulder at Albert Rivera and Ciudadanos as if to say, ‘See, this is the way to do it.’
No consolation prizes PROBABLY the biggest loser in the local and regional elec-
FEATURE
tions was the Podemos supremo Pablo Iglesias. Podemos lost seats everywhere and instead of tipping the balance to the Left on councils and regional governments, in many cases it is handing that privilege to Vox. Predictably, Iglesias continues to believe that he could, and should, occupy a seat in a future PSOE government in return for his 42 parliamentary seats. His reasons are nebulous, but his motives are as obvious as his sense of entitlement.
Time to go SAD to say, although it’s no surprise, Juan Carlos I’s time is up. He will no longer take part in public life, he announced. And quite right too. He was what Spain needed in 1975 after Franco died when he, Fernando Alvarez de Miranda, Adolfo Suarez and a few others piloted Spain into the safe haven of democracy. He was what Spain needed when he pulled rank on military plotters and defused the attempted coup of February 23, 1981. But his usefulness is at an end and at 81 the Bourbon king can lead a peaceful life hunting - elephants (possibly) included - with afternoons at the bullring and, who knows, the company of someone not his wife. But Juan Carlos’s time is up and, always aware of what is needed, he knows he has nothing left to contribute and it’s time to go.
The freedom of motorhoming MOTORHOMES are becoming far more popular. In Spain we see fleets of these cumbersome large vehicles on the roads, throughout the year. The snail-like vehicles mean you can literally take your home on the road, carrying all the luxuries and comforts of home life, without having to spend one half of your holidays putting up or taking down tents or caravan awnings; without having to unpack cases; without having to go shopping as soon as you arrive at your apartment and without having to search out restaurants that are good value and serve decent food. Travellers can take their pets with them, they can watch their favourite television programmes, use their own toilets and bathrooms and socialise as much or as little as they want. Motorhomes can be self-sufficient so they can park anywhere that they are allowed. It could be overlooking a tiny cove or next to an empty beach. They can be parked in a mountainous area or in idyllic countryside. The choices are endless.
HOME ON THE ROAD: An alternative to camping and hotels.
STEPPING DOWN: Juan Carlos retired from public life this week.
Just one of my grumps Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man HERE’S one for you - I recently went to a function and during the evening I was offered the chance to buy some raffle tickets. There were three prizes. A week’s holiday was the first prize; the second was a meal at a posh restaurant and the third a case of nice wine. The tickets were not particularly cheap but then the prizes were OK and it was a good cause. But I had to ask my normal question which is what prize comes out first? She popped off for a second and then said, “its the normal way - third, second, first.” I then told her that’s the wrong way of doing it because everybody enters the raffle to have a chance of winning the first prize and if you draw the third prize first that cannot happen. She said, “But that’s the way we always do it.” It may well be and it’s always wrong. She then told me this is done to make it more exciting and to keep the suspense up. Look, it’s OK if you are buying a ticket for a euro I guess and there are
loads of prizes and whoever wins just chooses what they fancy. But, if you think about it, even that way is better because the first winner out has a choice of everything on offer don’t they? Therefore getting the first prize first. This is just one of my grumps which is about a point of principle. What’s right is right isn’t it? One way to accommodate my type of complaint, yet keep the suspense factor, is to draw the tickets first, then announce them in reverse order. If you do this, be sure that the tickets cannot be switched or you will likely receive complaints. I still bought a couple of tickets, they still did it their way and I won sweet fanny adams as usual. Felon turned doomsday prophet, Jim Bakker, is selling ‘Donald Trump’ coins which he promises have special spiritual power. This guy is an ex-convict, accused rapist and TV evangelist. What he is claiming is that when believers hold the coin with Trump’s face, they are somehow magically united in prayer with everyone else and that creates a greater ‘point of contact’ with God. Idolatry, anybody? For the low, low price of $45 all this shameless superstition is all yours! God bless America!!

CONSULAR MATTERS JENS, my friend Peter’s brother, wants to come to live in Spain because after many years of hard work in a well-known supermarket in Copenhagen, he wants to have a warm retirement on our Costa Del Sol. Many of the foreigners who come to live in Spain decide to rent a house to establish their permanent residence, either because they prefer to rent and save their money or they want to spend some time and get to know the area before buying a property. Peter has instructed me to draft the rental contract because he has heard that during the last year the law relating to housing rental contract law has undergone what can only be described as roller coaster changes involving three new regulations in about four months. Since March 6, 2019 we have had a new regulation whose most important changes are also the least known, well at least by the tenants. The new law gives rights in favour of tenants who sign a lease after that date for their permanent residence.
6 - 12 June 2019

Hidden side of rental contracts
RENTAL CONTRACT: The law has undergone roller coaster changes. The first of this new regulation is that the law itself imposes on the landlord a minimum contract term of five years if the tenant so wishes. It is a right for tenants and an obligation for owners. Once the five-year contract has been completed, the
lease can be renewed for another three years if the tenant so wishes and notifies the landlord within the legally established time frame and in the event that the landlord has not reported the said contract extension. It also establishes the new word-
ing of the law that the annual increase in rent being paid can only be increased according to the official index standard of living (IPC) published by the INE (Spanish National Institute of Statistics). This index will operate as a maxi-
mum limit; therefore the rent being paid cannot be raised beyond the increase of said IPC. The intention of this law is to give some stability to tenants so that they can settle in a house with certain guarantees of permanence, but it is also true that this extension of the mandatory term of the lease and the limit that the law has put on raising the rent could cause landlords to think twice before renting their home and this could lead to a decrease in the number of houses available for permanent rental in our area where holiday rentals can be very attractive. We will have to wait a bit to see how this new regulation affects a seasonal market. These measures do not apply to leases of holiday homes, rural homes for farms or luxury homes, among others that are governed by other rules, but it is not Jens’ intention to rent one of these homes.

Barry Duke I HAVE been following with intense interest and a great deal of concern the protests outside schools in Birmingham about the teaching of relationship lessons. At the centre of the escalating row, which has seen at least two schools coming under siege from mainly Muslim extremists, is the assertion that children are ‘being taught to be gay’ ridiculous since sexual orientation is an innate characteristic, rather than one that is learned. My sympathies lay squarely with the staff at Parkfield Community and Anderson Park schools who have received abuse and death threats for simply abiding with the provisions of the Equality Act of 2010. But now, thanks to Britain’s antiextremist campaigner Maajid Nawaz my sympathies extend to what he called the ‘true’ victims of the controversy: gay Muslims. On his LBC radio slot on May 25, he pointed out that the outpouring of homophobia in Birmingham needs to be halted immediately as it was sending a message to the thousands of homosexuals in Muslim communities that they are
Ignorance is not bliss
NO OUTSIDERS: Lessons were started by gay teacher Andrew Moffat. loathed with a passion. In a recent UK survey, he revealed, 52 per cent of Muslims said they wanted homosexuality made illegal. ‘Not just gay marriage, but incredibly homosexuality itself,’ he said in disbelief. Describing this as shocking, Nawaz strongly defended lessons that advised children that it was OK to be gay, saying that such lessons may well bring about a fundamental change in
attitude among Muslims towards homosexuality. He hammered home the point that schools were not mosques nor were they churches. And he went as far as to encourage Muslims who disapprove of the protests to show their solidarity with the schools by joining the city’s Pride parade which took place on the day of his broadcast. The parade was led by gay teacher
Andrew Moffat who started the ‘No Outsiders’ lessons at Parkfield. He was joined by Khakan Qureshi, founder of Birmingham South Asians LGBT and Saima Razzaq, from Supporting Education of Equality and Diversity in Schools (SEEDS). In the phone-in that followed, Nawaz expressed further incredulity over the baloney being spouted by mainly religious callers siding with the
protesters. One numpty, calling from Texas, even suggested that teaching inclusivity would lead to children being told that it was OK to beat one’s wife! Nawaz is seldom at a loss for words but this stunned him to such an extent that he abruptly terminated the call. The Texan’s opinion was as stupid as the one by one Birmingham protester who said that being gay was ‘not acceptable in Islam. God created man, then he created women for man’s pleasure and companionship - not another man.’ But one of Nawaz’s callers was highly supportive of the ‘No Outsiders’ programme, saying that she reluctantly intends returning from Madrid to the UK because of the lack of relationship teaching in the Spanish school her kids attend. Not only was there an absence of such lessons, but her children were being exposed to racism. An example she cited was a teacher calling a Japanese child Chinese. When the error was pointed out to her, she retorted ‘what’s the difference?’ All of this tells me that ignorance, fuelled by religious intolerance, is the main reason we’re experiencing these troubling culture clashes.

This will be the very first Bentley to feature All-Wheel Steering enhancing both stability at cruising speeds and agility around town.

tures All-Wheel Drive for optimum traction. For the first time, drive is supplied only to the rear wheels in standard road conditions giving classic sports sedan handling characteristics. If any slip is detected, the system can instantly send drive to the front wheels providing active AllWheel Drive, fully automatically.
Bentley Dynamic Ride is designed to further improve both handling and ride comfort. New to the Flying Spur, the innovative system changes suspension stiffness on demand to combat
cornering forces and minimise body roll that might otherwise disturb occupants. Like the recently launched Continental GT, the all-new Flying Spur is a ground up development that pushes the boundaries of both technology and craftsmanship to deliver what the manufacturer
describes as ‘segment-defining levels of performance and refinement.’ Owing only its historic name to the preceding model, the four-door sedan will, Bentley promises ‘deliver an unparalleled touring experience for the driver and passengers alike.’ The company says it is intending to create the world’s best luxury Grand Touring sedan when the Flying Spur is revealed shortly.

Suzuki Jimny SZ5 Allgrip ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher S U Z U K I ’ S t i n y f o u rwheel-drive Jimny has been around for many years in virtually unchanged form, but now there is an all-new version which looks less cute and more formidable. The new Jimny is still very small but has more purposeful styling and even looks quite cool, an important element in an imageconscious market. It still has selectable 4WD with low-ratio transfer box which means it is a m a z i n g l y c a p a b l e o ff road, often able to venture i n t o t e r r a i n t h a t l a rg e r 4WD models cannot cope with. Powered by a 1.5 litre 100 hp petrol engine and five-speed manual gearbox (there is a four-speed auto option), the Jimny has a 0100 kph time of 12 seconds and top speed of 150 kph ( 9 0 m p h ) . Av e r a g e f u e l
economy is 14.7 kpl (41.5 mpg) and emissions are 154 g/km. Prices start at €17,583 (£15,499), though my topspec SZ5 Allgrip test version cost €20,420 (£17,999) and is very well equipped with automatic a i r- c o n d i t i o n i n g , c r u i s e control, digital radio and CD player, Bluetooth, LED headlights, rear privacy glass, alloy wheels, and sat-nav with touchscreen and smartphone link. Safety features include stability control, lane departure warning, hill descent control and tyre pressure monitoring. The cabin is narrow but functional, with good dashboard layout and comfortable seating.The two rear seats will accommodate adults, but luggage space is then very limited at just 85 litres. But with the rear seats down flat, the load space is 377 litres litres, larger than i n t h e p r e v i o u s J i m n y. There is very little cabin
stowage space - a tiny glove-box, very slim door pockets and a couple of cup holders is about all you get. The Jimny can double as a neat, versatile rural vehic l e w i t h s t r o n g o ff - r o a d and towing ability, or as a practical and nimble city car with eye-catching cachet. On tarmac, ride quality is firm but quite acceptable and the handling is agile thanks to revised steering which gives much-improved feedback and a greater sense of control. I found the four-speed auto transmission rather overbusy but most buyers will go for the slick manual gearbox. The previous Jimny had a lot of friends, selling almost three million worldwide, and this updated and enhanced version will attract many more to the Suzuki brand. The Jimny looks good, drives well, and there is nothing truly comparable or as capable at the price.

ITALIAN STYLE: The BMW Garmisch will turn heads.
A concept reinvented... By Dilip Kuner AS concept cars go, it is not exactly futuristic. But it is drop dead gorgeous. The BMW Group is taking the occasion of this year’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este to unveil the recreation of the BMW Garmisch, a classic concept car that was designed by Marcello Gandini for Bertone and vanished after its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 1970. “Marcello Gandini to me is one of the grandmasters of car design and his cars always have been an important source of inspiration for my work,” says Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President of BMW Group Design, who has been intrigued by the BMW Garmisch since he first discovered a faded period picture of the car some years ago. “Building the BMW Garmisch for a second time gave us the opportunity to
pay tribute to Mr Gandini, recall one of his lesser-known cars and highlight Bertone’s stylistic influence on the evolution of BMW design. For me, that alone was reason enough to do this project - filling in the gaps and completing BMW’s history.” The original BMW Garmisch was developed by Bertone as an independent design proposal intended to demonstrate the studio’s creativity. “The original idea came from Nuccio Bertone himself who wanted to consolidate our existing relationship with BMW by designing a surprise show car for the Geneva Motor Show,” remembers Marcello Gandini, who was in charge of Bertone’s design department at the time. “We wanted to create a modern midsized coupe that was faithful to BMW’s design language, but that was also more dynamic and even a bit

provocative.” While the side profile of the car was very sleek and clean, the most distinctive design feature of the BMW Garmisch was its bold, vertical and almost angular variation of BMW’s kidney-shaped radiator grill, which was flanked by square glass-covered headlights. Other unusual details included sports car-like louvres on the C-pillars and the honeycomb-patterned mesh cover for the rear window - a trademark element of Marcello Gandini’s style. Being faithful to the original car, the new BMW Garmisch is also a showcase of BMW’s expertise in design research and prototype building. As original documents of the BMW Garmisch were sparse, the design team had to retrace every detail of the car’s exterior and interior from a small selection of

Marcello Gandini himself contributed to the research process with memories from the creation of the car, allowing the design team to refabricate key details such as the exterior colour a light champagne metallic in line with Italian fashion trends of the time - and the interior materials and trim. And while the BMW Design team used the latest 3D modelling technolo-
NISSAN’S plant in Barcelona’s Zona Franca has had its future guaranteed, but it comes at the cost of 600 jobs. Nissan’s management and unions reached an agreement to maintain the viability of the factory, but it involves cutting the workforce. The departures will be made through early retirements with the rest in voluntary redundancies. Those taking early retirement will get 85 per cent of net salary until official retirement at age 63. Those applying for voluntary redundancy will be paid €50,000 net on top of their legally entitled compensation. Workers will also receive a pay rise of 4 per cent over the next three years.
gies to revive and specify the original structures and shapes, the BMW Garmisch was coachbuilt by skilled craftsmen in Turin - just like the original car almost 50 years ago. “When I first heard that BMW wanted to recreate the BMW Garmisch, I was a bit surprised,” Marcello Gandini recalls of his first meeting with Adrian van Hooydonk, who visited him in Turin in the summer of 2018 to ask for his approval. “Now I am very pleased that I was able to be part of this project and happy that BMW chose to recall this enjoyable past. Having seen the final car, it is hard for me to even distinguish it from the original.”
This agreement unblocked Nissan’s plan to invest €70 million over the next two years in a new paint plant, as current facilities were on the verge of failing stricter environmental regulations. This will enable the company to allocate another model for assembly at the factory within the next two years. When a month and a half of talks between management and unions broke down in an impasse, the regional government’s Ministry of Employment stepped in to mediate. A further week of talks eventually led to the agreement being passed.

Alonso to Ferrari rumour
By Dilip Kuner FERNANDO ALONSO could find himself back in F1 next year back in a Ferrari seat. That is if you believe the latest rumours from the gossipy world of the F1 paddock. According to Spanish paper MARCA ,the Asturian two-time world champion, who retired from F1 last year, is being considered for a drive by the Italian giants. But this depends on whether or not Sebastian Vettel decides to retire or not - far from a foregone conclusion. Vettel has looked vulnerable on the track this year, with young teammate Charles Leclerc impressing.
This has led to rumours that Ve t t e l , w h o n o w h a s a young family, may decide his time is up. Meanwhile Alonso, who failed to qualify his McLaren for the Indy 500, is now gearing up for the 24 hours of le Mans. He is aiming for his second win in the event, which is also his final drive in the World Endurance Championship (WEC) with Toyota and his objective will be to become WEC champion. Back in Spain, the Royal Automobile Club of Catalonia (RACC) has put out a plea asking that this year’s Barcelona GP does not turn out to be the last one held in the city. The future of the event held at the Circuit de
IN what was a disappointing game in terms of the quality of football played, the light shone brightly on one player in the Champions League final, according to the Spanish press. This was Liverpool’s Dutch centre half Virgil van Dijk, many of whom have tipped him to buck the Messi/ Ronaldo trend and tipped him for the coveted Ballon d’Or. Marca called the Dutchman ‘His Majesty’ and praised him as a ‘force of nature,’ not just in his side’s 2-0 win over Tottenham in Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano stadium, but also for the entire Cham-
Movistar’s Carapaz claims Italy win
FERRARI COMEBACK: Rumour that Alonso could rejoin his old team. Catalunya is in doubt as F1 owner Liberty Media tries to find space in the calendar for new races at Zandvoort and in Vietnam for 2020. As the uncertainty continues, the RACC has issued a statement saying: “The RACC asks all administrations and the business world to make a unity of action to achieve the renew-
al of the Formula 1 race. “We want to keep in our country one of the most important sporting events held every year in the world.” The club said the Spanish GP contributes €163 million to the economy and 2,700 jobs, and also gives the region and Spain ‘maximum visibility’ in the media.
ECUADOR’S Richard Carapaz has won the 102nd Giro d’Italia for Spain’s Movistar team. He kept a cool head to defend his lead on Sunday’s final stage to maintain an advantage of 1’05” over Italian Vincenzo Nibali while Slovakian Primoz Roglic regained his spot on the podium at the expense of Spaniard Mikel Landa. American rider Chad Haga won the closing time trial in Verona ahead of Belgians Victor Campenaerts and Thomas De Gendt. Carapaz, his nation’s first winner of the race, later said: “I’m proud of what I achieved. I’m delighted to make my dream of winning a Grand Tour come true. We must never forget our childhood dreams. They can always become reality with hard work and determination. “In my four years in European cycling, I realised that opportunities have to be caught. The 30 seconds I gained on

could be a defender? “All bets will be on Messi, but Salah, Mane and Van Dijk should all be candidates and the defender has been the best player in the Premier League, won the Champions League and still has the Nations League final four to come.” Marca referred to van Dijk as ‘His majesty,’ saying: “He got to everything, via land, air or sea. A

stage 15 were fundamental. I profited from [Vincenzo] Nibali and [Primoz] Roglic watching each other. That’s where the Giro was decided. For me, it’s only the beginning, I think. We always dream for more.” Second placed Vincenzo Nibali said: “This morning, I knew it would be extremely difficult to win the Giro d’Italia. But I thought I could do a good time trial. So I gave it all until the end. Second at the Giro is still a good result, especially thinking that six months ago, I was down with a big back pain after the crash at the Tour de France. To be back fighting for the overall victory in a Grand Tour is something positive.” The stage winner Chad Haga said in the press conference: “It’ll take a bit longer to realise but it’ll come. I came in top form but it was a support form. As an American, I feel very proud of winning a stage at the Giro d’Italia.”

In between, Tottenham had the best of the match, but looked toothless with barely a chance until the final few minutes of the game. It was Liverpool’s sixth Champions League/European Cup triumph and was the fulfilment of manager Jurgen Klopp’s promise to bring back to Anfield a major trophy within four years.
