PROCESSION: Costa del Sol towns celebrated the Virgen del Carmen fiesta on Tuesday.

By Joe Gerrard MALAGA prosecutors have said they would be willing to suspend the two-year prison sentence of a 26-year-old convicted of killing a mugger who robbed a woman in Fuengirola.

The prosecution’s willingness to review the sentence comes after Borja WV was jailed and ordered to pay €174,000 after being in a re-

Sentence review cent court hearing.

Lawyers acting for Borja WV have called for him to instead pay a €250 fine every year for the rest of his life. Defence lawyers said he had acted as he thought he should have and regretted the death.

The court heard the 26-yearold followed the mugger after

seeing him rob the woman while on his way to work in February 2015.

He punched the man twice in the face, knocking him to the ground and causing a cerebral haemorrhage. He died two days later.

Malaga City’s Ninth Criminal Court jailed him because he

had followed the mugger and did not wait for the police to arrive after hitting him.

On the loose THREE Vietnamese pigs have been captured after being abandoned in an enclosure belonging to Malaga City’s Municipal Water Company.

The pigs, now classed as an invasive species, were originally found last month on June 26. Local Police as well as representatives from GRUPRONA and the Zoosanitary Centre arrived at the enclosure and after several failed attempts to capture the animals, two were eventually caught and taken to a care centre.

The third, a large male, escaped the trap set but was caught the following day.

Throughout the whole process all precautions were

taken by the workers to not harm or stress the animals.

None of the animals were able to be identified by microchip, so their owner remains a mystery.

As the animals are considered an invasive species in Spain, they will most likely be rehomed to a rescue centre in the area or public institution as they are unable to be rehomed privately.

FOUND: The three Vietnamese pigs will be rehomed.

POLL POSITION: Frigiliana has been shortlisted for the Most Beautiful Town in Spain title.

Beautiful contender THIS picture of Frigiliana comes as the Andalucian town is competing with 49 others to be named the most beautiful contender.

Cadena Ser shortlisted Frigiliana along with others from across Spain to decide which town is the country’s best looking.

Almeria’s Mojacar, Setenil de las Bodegas in Cadiz, Alicante’s Castell de Guadalest and Fornalutx in Mallorca were also chosen for the public vote.

Frigiliana lies in the east of Malaga Province in the Axarquia region.

It covers an area of almost 40 square kilometres and is nestled between the mountains of the Sierra de Almijara range about 300 metres above sea level.

The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times. The name Frigiliana is thought to come from a settlement named Frexinius built by the Romans.

T h e i n v a d i n g Vi s i g o t h s d e s t r o y e d t h e t o w n ’s R o m a n f o r t sometime in the 5th century. It was captured by the Moors shortly after they began their invasion of the Iberian Peninsula in 711.

‘Fugitives’ held

Police boost MORE than 200 extra National Police officers have been deployed on the Costa del Sol to bolster security during the peak tourist season.

National Police sources said the officers would be shared between the Costa del Sol’s main holiday destinations under the Interior Ministry’s Safe Tourism Plan.

Malaga City is set to get 60 extra officers, while 35 are due to go to Marbella. A further 25 will go to Torremolinos and Benalmadena, while Fuengirola, Estepona and VelezMalaga will each get 20.

A total of 15 are due to be deployed in Antequera, while 10 will go to Ronda.

The officers are recent graduates from the Avila Police Academy in Castilla y Leon. They are being deployed on the Costa del Sol in part to hone skills learned at the academy, police sources said.

Many of those monuments can still be seen in the town today which is now popular with tourists both from Spain and overseas.

Frigiliana also holds several well-known fiestas including the Festival of the Three Cultures which celebrates its Christian, Jewish and Islamic heritage.

AN off-duty National Police officer has arrested two brothers in Malaga City’s train station wanted in Sweden in connection with alleged gang crimes, a kidnapping and torturing.

Police sources said the 35 and 37-year-old suspects were arrested at around 2pm on Sunday. They were both subject to European Arrest Warrants issued in Sweden.

Investigators said the suspects were thought to be ‘very violent.’ They were detained in the shopping complex attached to Malaga City’s Maria Zambrano station which is popular with locals and tourists.

One suspect was held in connection with crimes related to a well-known motorcycle gang based in Gothenburg.

Another was arrested in connection with the alleged kidnapping and torturing of a victim for three days to get his bank details in Sweden in February.

Both suspects intended to leave the Costa del Sol the same day they were arrested, officers said.

CONTACT GOODBYE: Simon Manley at his farewell reception.

SIMON MANLEY, ambassador of the United Kingdom to Spain since 2013, gave a farewell reception for around 100 guests to mark the end of his tenure.

Held in Madrid, Mr Manley said in a brief and emotional speech at the function: “Spain will always be in my heart, it will always be with me.”

“I hope you won’t forget me, because I will never be able to forget you,” said the ambassador, who is married to Spanish lawyer, María Isabel Fernández Utges, who specialises in intellectual coownership, competition and regulation in the pharmaceutical and chemical sectors in the UK and Europe.

Mr Manley added: “This stage of my life has been very important not only for me, but for my family, and to her (his wife), to my collaborators, to all of you who facilitate relations between two great countries such as ours, I thank you for your collaboration and your support.”

WORKS: Metro line has uncovered archaeological remains.

PEOPLE will be able to visit a complete Moorish suburb uncovered by work on Malaga’s metro.

A glazed space with access from the Avenida de Andalucia metro station to view the archaeological remains is one option being considered.

Streets, houses, sewage infrastructure dating back to medieval times were found as the metro line

was being dug.

The conservation of the remains may delay further the construction of the underground system that has been going on for nine years.

Junta de Andalucia engineers are drawing up a report on how best to preserve the remains that date back to the Nazari period of 1,000 years ago.

Now local politicians

are calling for the drawing up of the report to be sped up and want confirmation from the Junta that the remains will be preserved as a visitable attraction.

They have said that the site is a unique opportunity to show visitors and locals alike a glimpse of the past life of a city whose roots go back to Phoenician times.

Singer loses legal battle A 20-YEAR legal battle regarding a paternity suit against the Spanish singer Julio Iglesias has reached a Valencia court, and last week a Judge ruled that he considered the claimant to be the singer’s son. According to reports, he ruled that Javier Sánchez Santos, aged 43 years, is the son of Iglesias, who did not appear in court. The Judge took into account that Sanchez was born just nine months after Maria Edite, Santos’ mother, and Iglesias had a relationship, the physical resemblance to the singer and the alleged father's refusal to undergo DNA tests. The determination of this matter is not final and can be appealed before the Provincial Court of Valencia.

Disability awards Credit: Casa del Rey

RELUCTANT: The victim claimed he hadn’t reported the robberies earlier because he’d known the attacker since they were children.

CEREMONY: Queen Letizia presents the Award to Manuel Barón.

AT a ceremony in Ciudad Real, Queen Letizia presented the mayor of Antequera Manuel Barón an award which recognises the work of the town to improve the quality of life of disabled people.

Antequera was one of several municipalities of different sizes which were recognised in the ceremony of presenta-

tion of The Queen Letizia 2018 Awards.

The Queen is honorary president of the Council of the Royal Board on Disability whose purpose is to promote the promotion of the rights of people with disabilities, social inclusion, equal opportunities and the rehabilitation and prevention of disabilities.

Other awards were made to Murcia capital and Medina de Rioseco in Spain as well as the towns of Chile and Guatemala.

The supermarket chain Carrefour was also recognised for the commitment it has to encouraging the employment of those with disabilities.

Enough is enough IT was third time unlucky for a thief who targeted the same victim three times in six months.

Police arrested the suspect after the most recent attack, when the victim decided enough was enough.

He told police he hadn’t gone to them before because he’d known the aggressor since they were children and because he was aware he had a drug problem. He identified him as a 35-yearold who lived in his neighbourhood of Almeria City.

The last time he stole from him, the victim said, he grabbed him on his doorstep, saying, “It’s been a long time: I need you to give me

some money or we’re going to have problems.”

When the victim refused he became more aggressive and threatened him, forcing him to hand over all the cash he was carrying at the time.

This followed a first robbery back in the winter, when according to the man reporting the crimes, the 35-year-old grabbed €10 from him at knifepoint and then made him let him into his home, where he took more cash and a TV. On a second occasion, the victim reported, he was cycling through the Zapillo area of the city when the now detained man asked him if he could take a turn on the €200 bike and promptly made off with it.

THE WEEK IN POLITICS TALKS between the leftleaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) and the leftist Podemos appear to have reached an impasse as the deadline for a vote on Spain’s new government looms.

Several meetings between PSOE leader and acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Podemos head Pablo Iglesias have failed to bear fruit.

Sanchez called on Iglesias to put aside their differences and agree to give PSOE Podemos’ backing in an interview with the TVE channel.

Igelsias said in a separate interview the Spanish had given Spain’s main leftwing parties a mandate to “share power and responsibility.”

Between them the two parties have 165 seats in the Congress of Deputies, 11 shy of the 176 needed for a majority.

The chief sticking point remains the extent to which Podemos could influence government policy as a junior

Deal stalemate CREDIT: Pedro Sanchez, via Twitter.

DEADLOCK: Sanchez and Iglesias are struggling to see eye to eye. partner in the arrangement.

Sanchez and PSOE would ideally like to see Podemos lend its support to the larger party’s agenda. This is in keeping with a trend in Spain’s democratic history which has seen PSOE subordinate smaller left parties to its agenda.

Previous incarnations of leftist parties have functioned as an outsourced radical van-

guard but one ultimately serving PSOE’s interests.

But Iglesias has seen an opportunity to get himself and other leading Podemos figures spots in Spain’s national government for the first time in the party’s young history.

The long-term goal would be to bag Podemos achievements in government which it could then pitch to voters, repairing the damage done at

the last election when it haemorrhaged votes.

Sanchez’s only viable prospect of returning to power is with Podemos’ backing.

Mathematics said yes to a deal with the centrist Ciudadanos. But its leader Albert Rivera was quick to rule it out as he strives to build its strength as an opposition force to the right of centre.

A PSOE-Podemos pact is further complicated by it not giving the two an absolute majority. The situation reflects the fragmented nature of Spanish politics which has nearly swept away the twoparty system which gave PSOE and the conservative Partido Popular (PP) a duopoly on power.

The parties have until Monday to strike a deal. An investiture vote on naming Sanchez prime minister is scheduled for the start of next week.

Undoing a legacy THE new conservative Partido Popular (PP) and centrist Ciudadanos administration in Madrid City Council has begun dismantling initiatives and policies brought in by its leftist predecessor.

The new administration in Spain’s capital, which is headed by PP Mayor Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida and his Ciudadanos deputy Begoña Villacis, abolished the city’s low emissions zone.

The zone, brought in by the administration of former Mayor Manuela Carmena, was designed to curb pollution and traffic.

They have also closed the Office of Human Rights and Historical Memory. The office was tasked with informing the public about the impact of the Spanish Civil War and dictatorship of Francisco Franco on Madrid.

Madrid Deputy Mayor Villacis said the policies being ditched were those which served no purpose or had failed.

But Rita Maestre, a spokesperson for Carmena’s Mas Madrid, said the moves were based on ‘ideological sectarianism.’

“It is an administration which does not build, but is dedicated to undoing what others did before,” Maestra said.

Ramon Silva, a left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) councillor, said the decisions showed the PP and Ciudadanos were in a ‘mad race’ to please the far-right Vox. Vox backs the new administration but does not have any council posts.

Poll tracker: • Partido Socialista (PSOE): 31.3 per cent, 142 seats • Partido Popular (PP): 21.5 per cent, 87 seats • Ciudadanos: 16.2 per cent, 47 seats • Unidos Podemos: 11.2 per cent, 29 seats • Result: PSOE largest party, no overall control

Brown bins are coming ALL regional and local governments must provide brown recycling bins for thrown out food by 2024.

This is an ‘inescapable and inevitable’ requirement, declared Environment minister Margarita Ruiz Saiz-Aja. She was speaking in Suances during a summer course on Solutions for re-using biowaste at the University of Cantabria.

During her talk, Ruiz SaizAja analysed the current situation in Spain where only Cataluña provides the internationally-recognised brown bins for leftover food or food scraps.

Other regions including the Valencian Community, the Basque Region and Navarro were ‘beginning to move’ and others were increasingly beginning to adopt more advanced recycling measures, she added.

Although 2024 is the deadline for all European Union countries to recycle their organic leftovers, Spain’s Environment Ministry wants to advance as quickly as possible, Ruiz Saiz-Aja announced.

BREXIT BRIEF

Rhetoric rebuke

By Joe Gerrard CAMPAIGN pledges made by the two Conservatives vying for the party leadership and British premiership received rebukes this week.

Both former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and current office holder Jeremy Hunt have sought to play down the negative impact a no-deal Brexit would have on Britain’s economy.

A central plank of both their campaigns has been to reopen talks with the EU to secure further concessions from Brussels that Prime Minister Theresa May could not. The so-called Irish backstop remains a key target among other measures.

Current frontrunner Johnson has also made leaving the EU on Thursday October 31 a priority.

He recently referred to it as a matter of life and death.

But hopes from both that the changing of the guard with new appointments to senior posts in Brussels could change the bloc’s tone were dashed at the weekend. Ursula von der Leyen, nom-

His new position comes after talks with senior party figures and trade unions, with many of the former pushing for a second referendum.

Trade talk AN official advising the British government on trade negotiations has said the country’s influence could grow ‘rapidly’ while a cabinet minister cast doubt on a US deal materialising soon.

Crawford Falconer, Britain’s chief trade negotiation advisor, said Britain had previously had ‘very little’ to say on global trade policy, but that could change once it leaves the EU. It comes as International Trade Secretary Liam Fox said a post-Brexit deal with the US may take longer to broker because of having to negotiate on a state level.

Falconer told British media: “I always found it anomalous from the outside that the world’s fifth largest economy, as Britain has always been, really had very little to say on the international trade system.

“That is changing rapidly now and will change ever more rapidly.”

Falconer is charged with putting Britain on a trade negotiation footing in preparation for it leaving the EU. He has implemented a programme to recruit and train thousands of negotiators who can be sent across the world to strike deals post-Brexit. Falconer’s comments come as Fox said Britain should try to secure a deal with the US as quickly as possible.

But different regulations in different states means the deal will either take longer to reach or only cover certain areas, he added.

Franco’s palace FRANCISCO FRANCO: Notorious dictactor.

THE Spanish Socialist government continue to cause problems for Francisco Franco’s descendants in their most recent antifascist campaign involving the seizure of the notori-

o u s d i c t a t o r ’s p a l a c e i n Galicia.

The solicitation arose because the Ministry of Justice claimed the transfer of the palace to Franco from the state was illegitimate as it was bought with funds stolen from the Spanish public. According to one relative of Franco, the government has been threatening his family with further legal action if they do not stand down and accept the order.

The Acting Deputy Prime Minister Carmen Calvo believes that the government has a strong a rg u m e n t f o r r e c l a i m i n g the palace as it is in possession of documents that would appear to place the ownership of the potential heritage site in the hands of the public.

The palace has historical importance and could generate public income from tourism as it was the home of famous writer Emilia Pardo Bazan. It is currently up for sale for more than €5 million.

Earlier this year the Spanish government issued a plan to exhume Franco’s remains from his tomb in the ‘Valley of the Fallen’ which is considered to be a fascist monument.

However in June the Supreme Court suspended the motion due to appeals from Franco’s family.

‘Stolen baby’ finds biological family A WOMAN who became the first of the country’s ‘stolen babies’ to be recognised by a Spanish court has found her biological family and been informed she wasn’t stolen at all.

In fact, Inés Madrigal was voluntarily given up for adoption 50 years ago, according to the four half-siblings she has found.

Last year a court had ruled that she had been stolen as a baby during the Franco dictatorship, one of an estimated 300,000 to be taken from their parents and handed over to supporters of the regime.

Dr Eduardo Vela, a former gynaecologist, was found by a court to have committed three crimes in relation to Ms Madrigal,

including faking Inés Madrigal’s records and handing over a child without the consent of its parents.

He was, however, acquitted because the statute of limitations had long run out.

Prosecutors launched an appeal at the Supreme Court, which is still pending.

Now they will probably have to drop the charge of handing over the child without consent, although they are expected to continue with the appeal as a test case.

Ms Madrigal found three half-brothers and a half-sister when she travelled to the USA and took a DNA test. This was compared to a database and matches found with the family she did not know she had.

TIDY: The council is giving out cardboard rubbish bins and cones for cigarette butts.

Clean coast appeal ADRA Council has called on the public to keep the coast clean. Launching the ‘Your beach cleaner thanks to you’ awareness-raising campaign aimed at getting people to look after and respect the municipal coastline, Adra mMayor Manuel Cortes ap-

It is for “everyone’s benefit,” Cortes said, “both from the environmental and the aesthetic point of view.”

The mayor presented details of the campaign last Friday on the San Nicolas

He said it was a wide-ranging initiative, aimed at reaching the greatest possible number of people.

As part of the campaign the local authority is distributing foldable cardboard rubbish bins, cones for cigarette butts and 25,000 paper bags for sunflower seed hulls for beachgoers. The council has also produced a promotional video which it will post on social media and which will be projected during summer cinema sessions.

Spanish is English speakers’ favourite BY 2020, Spanish will overtake French to become the most popular second language in British schools.

A report from the B r i t i s h C o u n c i l ’s L a n g u a g e Tr e n d s a n d a n o t h e r f ro m t h e C e rvantes Institute confirmed a move towards Spanish and fewer pupils learning French or German.

Despite its popularity, the number of pupils learning Spanish in primary and secondary schools fell by 5 per cent to 88,022 in the last five years, although French and German experienced an even greater drop of approximately 30 per cent.

The British Council found that the level of difficulty of exams influenced the move away from languages, while teachers at low-income schools were less concerned about lack of resources for languages than parents who dissuade their children from learning them.

“Brexit threatens to broaden the socio-economic and academic divide,” the British Council report pronounced, although the Cervantes Institute has found otherwise. “ We w e r e a f r a i d t h a t Brexit would trigger a drop in enrolment at o u r c e n t r e s b u t , o d d l y, they have increased,” said Francisco Oda, who heads the Cervantes Institute in Manchester.

AN anti-LGBTQ group has called for Toy Story 4 to be boycotted because of their inclusion of a lesbian couple within their latest movie.

Christian Fundamentalist group ‘One Million Moms’ have slammed the latest Disney movie. Their uproar is over the accusation that Disney is ‘pushing an agenda of normalisation.’

The anti-LGBTQ organisation have become outraged over screen time that amounts to a few seconds. The lesbian, bi-racial couple are seen in the background dropping off and picking up their son at Kindergarten.

The lesbian couple has no lines in the entire movie. One Million Moms believe that Disney kept the scene under wraps on purpose so that they could expose as many people as possible.

A spokesperson for the Christian Fundamentalist group, Monica Cole, said: “It was a noticeably small scene with the sole purpose of attempting to normalise this lifestyle. Not to mention there was also a brief comment made about not hiding in a closet. Some children may not catch this reference, but it was extremely unnecessary as with the lesbian couple.”

Anti-LGBTQ Group call for movie to be scrapped DEATHS: 210 prisoners died last year.

Prisoner deaths on the increase LAST year 210 prisoners died in Spanish custody, 63 more than in 2017.

Of those, 154 inmates died inside prisons, while the rest passed away in hospitals. The data was provided following a question from Bildu MP Jon Iñarritu, who requested figures for the past two years and the

causes of death.

Nearly 30 per cent of these deaths (61 people) was due to drug abuse. This is the figure which has risen the most when compared to 2017, with the number of deaths due to drugs being 28.

Half of the deaths, 105, were due to natural causes and anoth-

er four from HIV. There were 33 suicides, 30 occurred in prisons. Badajoz prison, with four suicides, had the highest number of deaths from this cause.

By total number of deaths, the Andalucian prisons of Puerto 1, Puerto 3 and SevillaMorón are the ones which lost the most inmates, 35 in total.

Blood sucking fly spreading THE blood sucking fly, known as the ‘mosca chupasangre’ is apparently spreading across Spain due to hot weather conditions and causes an intense sting and painful itching that can last for weeks.

The Mancommunitat de la Ribera reported that these bloodsucking flies can travel more than 20 kilometres in one flight. They said: “actions against the outbreak must be done in a global and coordinated manner.”

People who suffer from the bite may need medical attention.

According to the National Association of Businesses, this summer will be full of mosquitoes, wasps, cockroaches and flies with temperatures reaching above 40 degrees in some Spanish towns.

The area of the River Ebro is most affected by the blood-sucking fly and has broken records due to the outburst and fast growth.

Sugar tax scrapped A JUDGE has scrapped a tax on sugary drinks in Cataluña, saying that it is null and void because of insufficient consultation.

Several distribution associations, supermarket chains, shops and restaurants had come together to ask for a judicial review.

The High Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) was told by the associations that there was an absence of public consultation and that the Catalan government had exceeded its powers of taxation.

They also considered that the tax is unconstitutional, discriminatory and arbitrary because it ‘produces extraterritorial effects outside the autonomous community, thus violating the unity of the market.’

But the ruling is not final, which means that the Catalan government can appeal. It had applied the controversial tax on sugary drinks in May 2017 to discourage consumption and raise revenue, a measure aimed at soft drinks, juices, sports energy drinks, milkshakes and flavoured waters, among others.

Economic reforms THE Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), an international forum which promotes economic growth, prosperity and sustainable development, has made a number of recommendations for the Spanish government in its biannual report.

The OECD report highlights that the economic reforms carried out in Spain in the period 2017-2018 have been ‘limited’ and that Spain still has a significant distance in GDP per capita with respect to the richest OECD countries, due to lower productivity and higher unemployment.

The report recommends that Spain should increase fuel tax to better reflect the pollution caused; eliminate reduced IVA rates on products that favour higher income earners, should cut the tax contributions for workers with low salaries and fixed contracts and implement improvements in education and increased spending on innovation, research and development.

The report stresses that ‘improving labour mobility and access to Vocational Training would reduce inequalities in the labour market and boost skills.’

SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY: Volunteers and two of the officers involved.

A helping hand BETWEEN July 5 and 8, officers of the National Police in Sevilla helped to distribute food for the needy weighing 48,000 kilos.

The distribution of this food, which is undertaken on an annual basis, is organised by local residents who belong to the Tres Bar-

rios Association in the east of the city using funds partly supplied by the European Union.

In the past, the bulk transportation of the food was carried out using a lorry borrowed from the Red Cross, but on this occasion as the driver had retired,

the Association asked whether the National Police in the area would be able to assist.

Rogue mobile numbers THERE has been some confusion as to whether mobile numbers that start with the lucky number 7 are legitimate mobile numbers. Well the National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC) assures they are.

The numbers are a remnant of 2011 when they were introduced and then stopped suddenly due to a restructuring of the numbering system. There are only a few of them left today amounting to less than 2 per cent of all mobile numbers in Spain, but that is enough to cause many callers to block the number due to fears of hidden charges or cold calls.

Blockers are justified in their actions on the basis that there are many numbers that would indicate a surcharge, but most of these numbers start with either an 8 or a 9. The numbers beginning with 8 are generally followed by a 0 and are used for such services as adult call centres which are deemed the most popular by the CNMC. The numbers beginning with 9 on the other hand indicate a request for a reverse call charge.

As there is no danger of the country running out of numbers any time soon, and there are so few rogue sevens out there, the CNMC has decided to leave the numbers in circulation, keeping numerologists very happy.

Faking love and marriage for legal status POLICE have broken up a network in Almeria dedicated to organising marriages and common-law partnerships between Spanish and EU citizens and nationals from other countries so the latter could become legal residents in Spain.

Police said they had arrested 12 people of various nationalities as part of the operation, including the organisation heads.

Investigations into the network’s activities revealed they charged up to €6,000 to arrange the marriages and partnerships.

Organisation members would act as intermediaries between the foreigners looking to make their situation in the country legal and the Spaniards or EU nationals, to whom they would offer €2,000 or €3,000 for their part in the fraud.

The network also paid property owners for enabling the fraudulent registrations of residency.

It would mean days of chaos for holidaymakers at the busiest time of year for the airport.

The strike threat comes after workers voted for industrial action in eight separate ballots.

They rejected an 18-month pay offer of a 2.7 per cent rise, and also want pay disparities between airport workers to be closed.

The management offer is £3.75 extra a day for the lowest paid workers involved in the dispute, according to the union.

But Heathrow management says that the total pay offer on the table is above inflation and is specifically designed to ‘to boost the wages of lower paid colleagues.’

In a statement management said: “We are disappointed that Unite will be taking strike action.

Following this decision, we will be implementing contingency plans that will ensure the airport remains open and operating safely throughout any coordinated action.

“We will be working alongside our airline partners to minimise disruption caused to passengers as they look towards their well-deserved summer holidays.”

Organ donation 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.

As of 2010, Spain has operated an ‘opt-out’ (or presumed consent) system for deceased organ donation. This addresses the rate or refusal of potential donors or their families in giving permission for the use of organs. The rate of family refusal in Spain is 13 per cent, compared to 37 per cent in England (according to the National Transplant Organisation figures - ONT).

According to the ONT, Brits living in Spain are more likely to donate their organs than their countrymen back home.

It’s not necessary to have a donor card. What is important is to let family members and loved ones know your wishes in terms of organ donation.

Figures published by the Spanish ONT in 2017 put the country as world leader in donation and transplants, reaching a new record with 46.9 donors per million people and 5.261 transplants. Spain has been a global leader in organ donation and transplantation for the past 26 years.

Broken down by organ, there were 3,269 kidney surgeries (up 9 per cent on 2016), 1,247 liver transplants (up 8 per cent), 304 heart procedures (8 per cent rise), 363 lung surgeries (up 18 per cent), 70 pancreas transplants (down 4 per cent) and eight bowel surgical procedures (up 100 per cent).

According to the National Transplant Organisation (ONT), these surgeries are equivalent to six donors and 14 surgical procedures a day.

In addition, Spain saw a new record in bone marrow donation last year, with 78,291 new donors and an increase of 196 per cent over the previous year. At this rate, the country could reach its target of 400,000 bone marrow donors well before the mid-2020 goal.

In Spain the number of those on the waiting list was reduced to 4,896 in 2017, from 5,480, although the number of children waiting for organs increased to 74, from 48 a year earlier.

Lung and heart are viable for 4-6 hours after death, liver and pancreas 24 hours, kidney 72 hours, corneas 14 days, bone and skin five years, and heart valves up to 10 years. Small intestines, veins, tendons and ligaments can also be donated.

A single organ donor can save up to eight people and a single tissue donor may enhance the lives of up to 50 people.

This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice.

If in any doubt, seek professional help.

SEIZED: Millions of doses of doping substances were found.

International dope SPANISH police have taken part in an international operation which has seen 3.8 million doping substances and fake medicines seized.

risk of heart attacks and other health problems.

During the operation, which was led by Italian police and involved 33 countries, 17 criminal groups were broken up, nine underground labs dismantled, 234 suspects arrested and nearly 1,000 people reported for the production, commerce or use of doping substances.

Europol deployed five experts

Police confiscated nearly 18,500 marihuana plants adding up to a weight of 2,696 kilos of cannabis between January and June, up from just over 14,200 plants weighing 951 kilos in the same period last year.

Police carried out more raids related to the cultivation, production and trafficking of drugs than last year: 89, as compared with 66 in the first half of 2018.

There were also more arrests. The total number detained in marihuana-related operations

over the first six months of 2019 was 152, while last year it was 116.

In addition, this year’s operations led to the seizure of ₏63,000 in cash, 16 firearms and a range of other weapons.

Another result was the dismantling of 505 illegal connections to the power supply, more than double the 212 discovered in the first six months of 2018.

A police statement said in many cases it was family clans behind marihuana production and sale setups in the province, which made it more difficult for investigators to penetrate the organisations.

British tourist seriously injured Funny on waterslide in Benidorm movie money

BRITISH holidaymaker, 23-year-old David Briffaut from Essex was sliding down the ‘Splash’ water attraction at the popular Aqualandia water park in Benidorm when he hit the water at the bottom and snapped a vertebrae in his neck.

A video has been released by his family showing him travelling down the ride with his girlfriend and as he hit the bottom, his head jolts forward under his body.

It is reported he lost consciousness for a few seconds and as he came to he explained he couldn’t feel his legs.

He was quickly transferred to intensive care in Alicante where the extent of his injuries were revealed to be two severed vertebrae in his neck which was causing his lower body to be paralysed.

His family has called for an investigation into the accident, claiming the popular ride is unsafe and that more safety measures should have been put in place.

A spokesperson from the water park claims it is “simply false” to claim the ride is unsafe and that David didn’t follow park guidelines.

THE National Police recommended that everyone look closely at their €10 and €20 notes.

Many counterfeit notes are now in circulation, especially in Murcia and police warned business-owners to be particularly watchful when €10 and €20 notes are handed over in payment.

The notes should be easy to spot, more so for English-speakers, as they all bear a blue-printed warning on the reverse side, ‘This is not legal tender, it is used for motion props.’

They also bear the Movie Money trademark just below the European Union flag on the top left-hand corner on the front of each note.

AFTER my last article about green food I have noticed a lot of interest in how each colour works for our health. That’s why I have decided over the next few weeks to talk about the colours in our dishes.

Why are fruits and vegetables so many different colours?

Each colour in fruits and vegetables is caused by specific phytonutrients, which are natural chemicals that help protect plants from germs, bugs, the sun’s harmful rays, and other threats.

And each colour indicates an abundance of specific nutrients. The variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables have enormous healing powers for

Man stabbed A 32-YEAR-OLD Spanish woman has been arrested in Marbella for allegedly breaking a restraining order and stabbing her estranged husband in the neck.

Officers from the National Police were called to an incident by emergency services and when they arrived they found a middle aged man being treated for a neck wound by ambulance staff.

Although he needed stitches, his life was not endangered and he will recover from the attack.

He advised officers that he was sitting in his car with his ex-wife and their youngest son when the woman (who was restricted by a court order not to approach the father, son or their home and to keep a distance of at least 500 metres) when the woman produced a knife and stabbed him before fleeing the scene.

Officers having traced the woman nearby, discovered a knife in her handbag which they believed to be the weapon used in the assault and arrested her, taking her into police custody.

Mad about motoring?

WHETHER you’re a car enthusiast or rely on your car for just about everything, keeping your vehicle on the road is a costly endeavour. Prices for car insurance can vary greatly between providers depending on different risk factors.

While reducing your annual mileage and keeping your car in a secure location will help keep your premiums down, Linea Directa recommend shopping around for insurance quotes to get the best possible price with the best possible cover.

Minor car problems At this time of the year in the early morning sunshine, condensation is troublesome, especially in older vehicles. Motorists and other road users are at risk. Accidents can be caused when drivers try to wipe down the windscreen.

Here are some handy tips to help you tackle condensation: Wash your car regularly as dirt and dust attract moisture and early morning dew.

Remove any damp items like towels or coats from inside the car. When safe to do so, leave the windows open for a few hours. Switch on the air conditioning and wipe down the inside of the windows. Fill a sock with cat litter and place it in your

car to help absorb excess moisture.

But what if it doesn’t start?

A flat battery is a great inconvenience; jumpstarting your car from the roadside can be hazardous and new batteries are expensive and can be troublesome to fit.

These tips can help prolong the life of your battery. Keep the terminals clean of residue which builds up over time. And remember to turn off air conditioning, lights, radio and other battery draining systems whenever possible.

Help is at hand Linea Directa offers service, support and 24hour roadside assistance to over three million customers in Spain. Should you breakdown or your car won’t start, they will immediately dispatch an approved mechanic to help get you back on the road again as soon as possible.

And with their new GPS Geolocation service Linea Directa can pinpoint your exact location and send breakdown recovery even faster.

Bad bank must pay up PEOPLE who were persuaded to swap preferred shares and subordinated debt for ordinary shares in ‘bad bank’ Bankia are entitled to compensation.

Spain’s Supreme Court has ruled that when the bank valued its shares at €3.10 each for the transaction it based its calculations on ‘inaccurate information.’

When the full impact of the banking crisis became apparent the Fund for Orderly Bank Restructuring (FROB) intervened. It valued the shares at €1.35 each.

“Bankia must be held liable for

By Dilip Kuner the inaccuracy of this information and for the detrimental consequences that it had on the applicant’s assets,” said the Supreme Court judgement.

The court was making judgement in the case of a Mallorcan company that was the holder of preferential and subordinated debt of Bancaja valued at €1,634,800. The assets and liabilities of this bank were transferred to Bankia. In March 2012, Bankia offered to exchange the company’s holdings for shares,

which was accepted by the company.

In October and November 2013 the company sold the Bankia shares, obtaining only €115,225. A lower court decided that the company was not entitled to compensation as the financial instruments it had held originally were essentially worthless anyway, so no new loss had occurred.

The Supreme Court disagreed and ordered compensation be paid.

This serves as a test case which all lower courts must follow from now on.

BUSINESS EXTRA

Strike called IBERIA workers at Barcelona’s El Prat airport have called a strike for July 27 and 28.

It is in protest at what the 2,000 workers call an ‘overload of work and lack of personnel to meet real needs.’

In a statement the UGT trade union said that the company has systematically failed to comply with agreements previously reached with workers.

These include the implementation of an industrial plan for the airport that allows the hiring of extra staff when current workers are ‘overloaded.’

It was the promise of such a plan that defused a called strike at this time last summer.

The UFT said: “A year later the problems remain the same, with the worsening of the increase in workload compared to that time and the lack of solutions in terms of staff size.”

No go CLOTHES retailing giant Inditex has won a legal battle to protect its Zara brand name after an EU court annulled a decision to register Zara Tanzaniya Adventures as a trademark for travel and tourism services.

No tax ON APP: Madrid taxis are joining Cabify.

Cabify integrate taxis PEOPLE can now hire taxis in Madrid and Valencia through the Cabify mobile phone app.

It has integrated 100 licensed taxis into its ‘fleet’ in Madrid and 10 in Valencia as it seeks to offer a whole range of road transport options from one app.

People will be able to choose from VTC (private hire with driver as traditionally associated with the app) to taxis, motorcycles and scooters.

When opening the application, the

user can choose between hiring a VTC or a taxi. If the latter is chosen, the user will be given an estimated price of their journey, but the final price will be according to the meter. The VTC option gives a set fare immediately.

Taxis that have joined the platform will not carry any special badges and, when not contracted by Cabify, will be able to pick up passengers on the street like any other taxi.

Cabify estimates that taxi drivers will see an increase in turnover of be-

tween 25 per cent and 30 per cent, by increasing the number of journeys they make and minimising empty mileage.

The Spanish-owned company has carried out a pilot in Santander before commercially launching the taxi app in Madrid and Valencia.

In the Cantabrian capital, where just three drivers joined, it has met with a hostile reaction from taxi organisations, but Cabify has decided to roll out the programme anyway.

SPANISH Finance Minister Nadia Calviño has said Spain is reluctant to follow the lead of France in introducing an eco-tax on air fares, as the country is so reliant on tourism and does not want to hit the sector.

No room THERE is now very nearly one car for every inhabitant on the Balearic Islands, according to data from the Balearic Institute of Statistics (IBESTAT), which says latest figures show 1,030,478 registered vehicles compared to 1.12 million inhabitants.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT IN the light of the Brexit party offering; this week I present my own ‘What If’ party manifesto. Mine is aimed mainly at the immigration, benefits and lawless situations prevailing in the UK. Perhaps all the ‘usual suspects’ out there would like to offer something positive for a change, and let us all know what they themselves would put forward were they elected PM? I await the slings and arrows with bated breath!

1. All legal British citizenship applicants required to pass more stringent entrance examinations, including basic English, oral and written and knowledge of British history and culture. These examinations to be set and overseen by British nationals who have resided in the UK for at least three generations.

2. No child allowance for any offspring after the second child.

3. No free NHS for unregistered non-European nationals, except in dire emergencies. All recipients billed for services incurred.

4. Genuine asylum seekers capped at 5,000 per year. Only exceptional circumstances considered after this figure reached.

5. A restriction on numbers of specific religious buildings allowed per capita.

6. Rigorous inspections of schools suspected of disproportionate religious curriculums.

Prepare for next winter with Neater Heater SUMMER may seem an odd time to think about next wint e r, b u t i t m a k e s g o o d s e n s e .

Especially to those expats who would like to use their Spanish holiday homes all year round, rather than just for the summer.

We a l s o u r g e n e w o w n e r s , who have just moved to the S p a i n t h i s y e a r, t o c o n s i d e r their winter heating.

All fuel costs are rising s t e a d i l y, w h e t h e r y o u c h o o s e Gas, Oil, or Electricity; it pays to make sure that whichever system you decide upon is efficient and economical. Remember: Efficient means it does the job, and economical means it is cheap to run. Many systems are one O R t h e o t h e r, b u t N e a t e r Heaters are both.

Neater heaters are made in

N o r w a y, w h e r e t h e y b e n e f i t from Scandinavian styling, and modern, state-of-the-art, design and materials. Whether wall-mounted or free-standing, you have the confidence that these heaters will be providing a more cost-effective efficient heat output than any of their rivals.

Our Adax standard panel heater offers the customer a cheaper option to the stylish Beha heater, without compromising on the running efficiency and reliability that we have come to associate with Norwegian systems.

Neater Heater can also offer the stylish Neo range for people with a more colourful outlook on life. At the moment the customer can choose to have their Neo heaters in one of four colours: White; black;

silver and red.

“By offering the Adax range as well as the Beha range, we believe that we have all bases covered when it comes to electric convector heating,” explains Tony.

“Customers can now browse our website, or visit one of our distributors, and select a heater that totally suits their circumstances, whether it is a stylish Beha or Neo heater or a more utilitarian, but cheape r, A d a x s t a n d a r d p a n e l heater.”

A couple of years ago we a d d e d t o o u r r a n g e t h e Tu r k ish made Vigo heater and towel radiators. These heaters share the design technology and ethos of the current Neater Heaters, but it has two d i ff e r e n c e s : T h e Vi g o c o m e s

with a carrying handle, wall bracket, and feet included in the price. They also have a digital display that indicates the reduced wattage that the heater regulates once the room has reached the desired temperature, thus saving more money through reduced running costs.

Buying now, in the summer, allows you the comfort of having plenty of time to investigate our heaters against a l l o t h e r s . We k n o w t h e o n e s you will probably choose, as we made the same choice ourselves many years ago.

HEATERS: Stylish and practical.

NORA JOHNSON BREAKING VIEWS Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist.

To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

THIS week sees the 50th anniversary of the moon landing on July 20, 1969. Like other past memorable events, did you happen to catch it?

I was allowed to stay up all night to watch.

The real giveaway it was no hoax was that the pictures were dreadful and started off upside down. Armstrong’s descent was virtually indecipherable, though when Buzz followed it was clearer. I recall the breathless excitement of James Burke and Patrick Moore making a huge effort to stay professional, and holding my breath in case Armstrong disappeared in the deep dust on the moon’s surface.

So much packed into that magnificent night. For one brief moment, anything was possible. We, the human race, had reason to be proud and amazed. What technology, what skill, what daring!

But how dispiriting that some still believe ridiculous conspiracy theories debunking the whole thing. As physicist Professor Brian Cox says, everyone’s entitled to their own opinions but not to their own facts. I read about a guy who worked as an engineer for BBC External Services in Bush House, Aldwych, at the time.

They had permanent audio feeds of the

‘The right stuff’ - do you have it?

MOON LANDING: Remarkable achievement.

whole mission from the astronauts and the NASA controllers fed to them by NASA. During that night shift, they all sat there listening in, then gaps when the astronauts were asleep - or the other side of the moon.

The space exploration feats were, without question, a tremendous human achievement.

A triumph of human endeavour and dedication. Since then, many (not all) of us seem to have lost our pride and ambition to achieve great things. But let’s believe in humanity’s innate instinct to achieve. Our current apathy in politics and elsewhere - is hopefully just a temporary hold up...

So, a great reminder of a remarkable achievement - truly ‘The Right Stuff.’ Though fortunate NASA wasn’t British and privatised.

Otherwise Virgin would have got Apollo about as far as Clacton, with Failing (Chris) Grayling blaming too many crew members and Buzz and co still left on the launch pad...

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Are the gardeners legal?

We have in our building two owners who are retired people who take care of the gardens and do odd jobs around the place. We voted at the AGM several years ago to engage them in exchange for not paying their community fees. Some members have now raised the question: Is this legal?

S D (Costa del Sol) No, it is not l e g a l .

Spain’s strict labour YOU AND THE regulations require LAW IN SPAIN that anyone who works in exchange for any compensation be registered with the Social Security system as self-employed workers who pay their monthly contributions of about €250. Further, the community must show any form of payment to them on its books, with the appropriate withholding tax paid. This means your community is technically guilty of employing ‘black’ workers outside the tax system. In the worst case, this could draw penalties of €3,000 for each unregistered worker. Now, do not tell anyone that you read this here, but if the only record of your arrangement is the community list of payments, it seems very unlikely that the tax authorities will discover it.

EWN 69

EWN welcomes the Queen of networking lunches T H E E u ro We e k l y N e w s w e l comed the co-founder of the hugely successful women’s networking b u s i n e s s , 1 2 3 0 T h e Wo m e n ’s Company Ltd, into its head office last week to share her wealth of knowledge and experience.

Jackie Groundsell travelled from the UK to spend two days with staff in Fuengirola at the invite of EWN CEO Michel Euesden.

“I met Michel at the International Women’s Day conference in Marbella in March, a collaborative event between Costa Women and 1230 TWC, and we built up a relationship from there,” explained the mother of three who launched the leading business women’s network in 2002.

Jackie added: “We spent a day together here in Spain in May. We got on really well and have taken it from there, so when Michel invited me back to Spain to spend a couple of days in the head office to develop business together, I jumped at it.

“It shows how technology has opened up the world. There are very few boundaries to achieve whatever you want to achieve.

The first link with Ali Meehan of Costa Women was through Twitter and from there the connection with Michel was through technology.

“When I first walked into the EWN office I was taken by the impressive structure visually. Everybody works extremely hard here and the office has a very nice feel about it.

“As a company EWN is certainly well established and will definitely continue to grow.”

Jackie explained how 1230 The Women’s Company (1230 TWC) provides on and off-line trading and business growth opportunities

Jackie catches up on the latest news in the EWN.

www.1230.co.uk across the UK and overseas.

This dynamic networking business helps businesswomen make the connections and find the support they need in their business lives; to meet locally in the Business High Street, share experiences and work together to grow their companies through regular 12.30pm networking meetings.

1230 TWC also provides training and learning through workshops and guest speakers, an annual conference - 2020 will be its s i x t h w i t h C o s t a Wo m e n - a n d charity supporting events.

The 1230 Business School provides business essential training for all business owners and decision-makers.

It’s all a long way away from Jackie’s first reluctant taste of networking having been dragged to her first all women’s meeting 18 years ago.

“I was teaching businesses in computer skills at the time and never thought about networking. I knew I didn’t like coffee mornings and that sort of thing, but I went along to a meeting in London with a friend Penny who I had

At home with the EWN team.

met through a business course.

What an amazing eye opener it was.

“I had done the Chamber of Commerce but that was really male dominated at that time. This was totally different. There were 27 women who didn’t know each other but met at lunchtime, shared a drink and talked and at the end it felt like we had known each other for years.”

Jackie began sharing an office in the capital for her own IT train-

ing company, and her own network of all-female support grew quickly and organically; an everincreasing number of women who worked in the city, getting together for lunch once a month to chat and support each other in business.

“I was a business advisor for the then Bromley Chamber of Commerce and they asked us to help, so we had a meeting and 54 women turned up. Other women started asking if they could run a

meeting and we soon realised we had to have a more organised approach and the business was born.

“Given that many business women are squeezed at either end of the day with family commitments, lunch-time meetings proved to be the most convenient time of day for m a n y, h e n c e t h e name 12.30.

“Being able to see the synergies and connect businesswomen, to see the ‘eureka!’ moment that 1230 TWC training and networking provides as their businesses grow, is so rewarding; I am exceptionally fortunate to be in a business that I just love.”

Jackie said that meeting her various personal challenges in her own life has given her great empathy with the inspiring business women she meets and supports through networking.

“I would say my can-do attitude and ability to talk are two of my greatest personal assets. I’m always up for a challenge!” added Jackie who continues to run her IT training company as part of 1230 Business School as well as public speaking.

“I look forward to seeing everyone on March 12 and 13, 2020.”

Living the dream MARBELLA MOMENTS

BY NICOLE KING WHEN I came back to live in Marbella in 2011 there was a new store that had just opened opposite Puerto Banus: Iceland. The name kind of rung a bell from way back in the day when I lived in the UK, but what really did strike a chord was the roll up proudly displayed at the entrance to the store announcing: ‘Aquí se habla Español’ - ‘Spanish spoken here.’

I was stupefied; it’s already a bit lame that many of my fellow British expat residents don’t speak, or try to speak the language, but I hadn’t contemplated it going as far as to include the shops also having that option.

Since then I realise that the store is

so foreign that it was actually very nice for them to let the Spanish know they were welcome; albeit a little ironic.

I eventually found myself having cause to go shop there, but only because my daughter found out when at university in the UK that they do a great range of vegetarian and vegan dishes. I was very pleasantly surprised when I walked in for the first time that it wasn’t just rows of freezers but a mini supermarket, a very English supermarket with very English staff (all very friendly and helpful I must add).

Just last week I got to meet the man behind it all when covering the opening of the new Overseas Express store in Guadalmina for this week’s Marbella Now TV (episode airing for the first time on Wednesday at 2pm on RTV Marbella and then available online).

I hadn’t realised that there was just

RELAXING: Dreams do come true, if you dare to live the dream. one person behind it all: Bryn Robertson. Now he lives in England with his family, but he had the original idea of importing English food into Spain when lying on the beach in Tenerife.

He recalled the constant complaints of others Brits about the lack of ‘good food,’ real crisps, good bread and proper bacon. He decided to do something about it.

From beach bed to chain store group, step-by-step for more than two

decades he has managed to continue expanding the business whilst facing important adversities such as the foot and mouth ordeal, the economic crisis of 2011 and the constant challenge of the Spanish employment laws that make it so stressful to run a business that hires so many people.

Thankfully the expertise of the core team he has assembled along the way together with his hands-on approach has seen him through.

I can’t help but feel proud of him and not just for having done so well but more so for having done it at all!

How many people have good ideas but actually follow them through?

He’s an example to us all that relaxing on a beach is a good way to let ideas flow and that dreams do come true, if you dare live the dream. #BetterTogether www.nicoleking.es www.rtvmarbellanow.com

YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE - YOUR OPINION Letters should be emailed to oursay@euroweeklynews.com or make your comments on our website: www.euroweeklynews.com

I WAS shocked to read the issue talking about solidarity with the ‘LBGTQI’ community. As a lesbian I do not feel part of this ‘community’ as our interests are not the same and in the case of the T diametrically opposed. We do not believe that men can change sex or vice versa. Men who perform femininity are not countering stereotypes and instead are pandering to fetishes. There is huge pressure from trans activists to access women only spaces, single sex hospital wards, prisons, refuges and changing rooms.

Women feel unsafe as a result... selfidentification allows any male who says he feels like a woman to overrule their wishes.

I was particularly surprised to read that Andalucía is being praised for allowing children to choose their ‘gender’ before puberty and receive hormonal treatment to suit their preferred role. In my and many others view, this is a dangerous practice and basically amounts to experimentation on confused adolescents.

The research that exists suggests that outcomes are poor eg the young people’s distress is no better, and children should not be able to give consent to life changing and damaging medication. There is a huge increase in girls who feel different and confused and instead of receiving adequate counselling, they are put on a path to irreversible treatments and mutilation of their bodies by mastectomies and unproved hormones. These girls often have other issues such as autism or may have been sexually abused. Many would have become lesbians and nearly all are likely to desist if given time. Andalucía should not be proud of their position on this.

There is a huge scandal building on this and it is shameful that this ‘tolerant’ society is doing the enabling.

Yours sincerely F Gillard

The beauty of Benidorm I RECENTLY visited the town of Benidorm and after the town being rubbished by all and sundry, particularly in the tabloid press, I was expecting the worse.

But on my arrival, I found a warm, clean and inviting town and to my surprise, there were many Spanish on holiday there.

Yes, there were the Karaoke bars, kebab shops and tourist tat stalls, but look a bit deeper and it is actually a really nice place.

OUR VIEW Stop the assaults

Views expressed and opinions given are not necessarily those of the EWN publishers. No responsibility is accepted for accuracy of information, errors, omissions or statements.

Pride solidarity DEAR Editor Your newspaper and website, like others in the UK, continually carries warnings about sun exposure and soaring temperatures, so could someone explain to me why excessive sunbathing is still so popular?

When you look at it, it certainly isn’t healthy and can cause some pretty horrible skin problems.

People lay in a heat that is certainly not comfortable, screwing their eyes up to even see the view and just lay there, sweating.

And yet thousands of people are currently sprawled around on our beaches, in the very hottest part of the day, roasting like a chicken on

Sun seekers

QUEST FOR A TAN: Holidaymakers expose the flesh. a spit, quickly turning the colour of an overripe tomato.

They expose as much flesh as possible to get an ‘even’ tan, knowing that they would prudishly never expose so much of their bodies in

HAVE YOUR SAY

dear old Blighty.

And then after returning home from their week in the sun, they boast about their sun tan, until it fades or peels off in the British summer rain in three days flat.

ALLEGATIONS that a British tourist assaulted medical personnel makes for worrying reading as cases of patients harming doctors and nurses continue to rise.

The British man’s alleged assault, in Mallorca’s Magaluf resort, comes as a local trade union representing medical staff said it was the fifth such attack in a week.

The attacks have not just been confined to Mallorca. One assault took place at a clinic in San Pedro de Alcantara on the Costa del Sol earlier this month.

Trade unions across Spain have called for more to be done to protect staff. A total of 28 personnel were attacked in Malaga Province alone, according to data from the area’s Medical Association.

Cases sometimes involve patients brought to hospital under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Others are simply instances of wanton aggression.

But as with many things the attacks themselves do not constitute the problem on their own.

Such violence is symptomatic of deeper issues. Many hospitals across Spain are overstretched and understaffed because of the exodus of staff to other countries and spending cuts.

Limited numbers of staff trying to manage and treat patients, many of whom arrive in emergency rooms frustrated and unable to act reasonably, clearly contributes to the phenomenon. That said, everyone has the right to work in dignity and without fear from threatening or violent behaviour. There is no justification for such attacks.

Now we want to hear your views.

Spanish police called to flight: Why is it always the English groups who make these problems on the way to Spain and not the other way around? Same with balconing.

Nadia TB Earlier this year we had a hen and a stag on the same flight. Reasonably well behaved, but the noise was awful with much shouting, back and forwards. Had to calm down the lads in seats behind due to my kidneys getting a work over.

Flight attendants did a fairly good job and limited alcohol to one drink each. Yeah, a Champagne bottle each, with some passengers assisti n g b y b u y i n g t h e m d r i n k s t o o. Th e f l i g h t attendants and I were glad when we finally landed and deplaned.

Jimbo Dikes

COMMENTS FROM EWN ONLINE Warning for balcony jumps: How much more of a nanny state does it have to become. For goodness sake take responsibility for your actions and if you feel like jumping from a balcony don’t expect sympathy from me.

Trisha Rodgers People need to take responsibility for their own actions. What’s next, tuck them up in bed at night.

Theresa Attwood

Boy trapped in a pool: The hotel should compensate the rescue team, it could have been a very nasty situation which could have easily been avoided,. thank God for the outcome.

Eileen Maria Gardner I think the law should be in place and followed when people and children are involved, so this place has not followed procedure and should be shut for the season.

Deborah Charville

Lesbian couple verbally attacked: Regardless of sexual preference shows of affection should be done in private, not on public transport.

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Such is your popularity this week that you can be assured of success in many things.

Remember that first impressions can be the most accurate and don't be tempted to make too many allowances for others.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) For some time you have been trying to settle a certain matter.

Although it is in your nature to get things out of the way quickly, this has not been possible. The chance to make progress this week is welcome but be sure that all is not what it seems.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A friend of long standing comes up with some bright ideas to get you out of a tricky situation.

Don't be surprised. You have for a long time now underestimated their worth. Your friend will be surprised when you show your gratitude in an immediate and physical way, but if there is anything better than finding a new friend it is finding an old friend has hidden talents.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) The urge to get ahead at as fast a pace as possible is apparent this week. Some would say not before time. However, you know the art of choosing the moment and it has not been until now that you have felt the time was right. This is a truly expansive week and one in which your powers of imagination are given full rein.

No wonder you are being admired.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) The company is so interesting that you can hardly tear yourself away and new experiences are arriving every day. You could be forgiven for getting a little overexcited. When travel brings you face to face with a stranger, you find that a bit of information you hear has to be acted upon.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Someone close gets a real stroke of luck this week and no doubt the benefits will rub off on you. It seems that some fortune will come your way by the end of the month and lead you to see a situation in quite a

different light. Any travel should be left until the beginning of next month if possible because there are likely to be delays and irritations.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Someone you have been holding at arm's length recently is insisting on getting closer.

Charm and tact alone may not save the day, but enlisting the help of a friend could. Travel and career are well-aspected and, if you are expecting a financial windfall, you may have a bit longer to wait.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) The hard work you have been putting in recently has left you tired and, at times, quite tetchy.

This week you will start to see the rewards of your efforts which will undoubtedly help you to keep up the momentum.

There is a lot of both passion and travel this week, which is set to continue.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is a highly sociable week, and you could meet some new faces that not only attract but inspire you. You are a social butterfly, and this brings out your Libran flutteriness. You will have to draw on all your powers of concentration to keep ahead of practical matters such as paperwork.

‘Greetings cards featuring artwork by AudreyQ are available at P.C. Highway, Javea with profits going to Aspadis, a Valencian charity for severely handicapped children.’

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Communication and selfexpression are what it's all about this week. Although you may feel that indulging yourself is in some ways selfish, you should realise that you are entitled to some fun.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) The call of romance is strong but so is that of your business life. The two will clash to the detriment of each other if you do not plan ahead and pace yourself. Do not be at the beck and call of others when you need all your time and energy for yourself.

BIRTHDAYS

ELWOOD CURTIS has just arrived at the Nickel Academy after a slip up cost him his place at a local black college.

He is not a bad man. He was brought up by a strict but loving grandmother and his childhood hero was Martin Luther King.

The Nickel Academy promises to give its students ‘physical, intellectual and moral training’ to allow them to become ‘honourable and honest men.’

Elwood soon discovers however that the school is a place of horrors where physical, emotional and sexual abuse run rampant and where anyone who resists vanishes.

He is torn between his moral convictions and the impression that the only way to succeed in life is to be cruel, cynical and selfserving.

Practices which actually took place in the US are laid bare in Colson Whitehead’s The Nickel Boys.

JORIS PLU ONE can look at different angles with this title. For instance, letting go of disruptive thoughts and give oneself the chance to grow in a more positive way by doing so.

Or let some people you know go so they and you can grow.

Taking distance from emotional thoughts and people is much needed in our lives. To keep a clear view on things which are happening to us in order to move on.

This is not easy at all since our emotions are with us all the time, day and night. But taking it step by step during our lifetime makes it a learning process which will help us, indeed to grow. We need to understand and acknowledge the fact that letting go is really helping us in a wonderful uplifting way. Many books have been written about this subject and many more will be. A column like this is too short to talk about it in depth. So what about writing some quotes about this subject?

Some if not all of them can help you with letting go to grow in a unique way.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Eat like a Mediterrean S O n o w y o u a r e l iv in g in th e Mediterranean area, shouldn’t you adopt the local diet? This is the diet that has been shown to help you live longer, reduce diseases and make you altogether a healthier person.

If you do not believe me go to a local fiesta and just watch the old folk party. Anecdotal evidence, I know, but this diet is supported by medical evidence as being healthy and here we explain what they mean by this diet and why it is so good for you.

The first thing is that the average Spaniard eats a lot less red meat, perhaps only a couple of times a month and then there is lttle reliance on processed foods.

Their diet is rich in fish and in particular oily fish. This means that the fats they consume in the

Mediterranean diet are mainly ‘good’ fats, rather than the saturated fats found more in red meat and the trans fats in processed foods. This has the benefit of lowering cholesterol.

And as for five a day, the average Spaniard will eat considera b ly mo re th an this . The y do have the benefit, though, of havin g th e ch an ce to buy re a lly fresh, quality fruit and vegetables from the local markets or supermarkets.

Now the average Spaniard will c o n s u me a lo t more olive oil than the average Brit, but the fat in this oil is, as I am sure you could now guess, ‘good’ fat and actually helps to lower cholesterol.

Now all this changing the fat we eat to ‘good’ fat has the bene-

fic ia l e ffe c t of re duc ing heart disease, reducing cancer and many other benefits, which all add up to a happier, healthier lifestyle.

So w ha t’s in the M e dite rranean diet: • Eat your veggies and fruits and switch to whole grains. Try to consume seven to 10 servings a day of vegetables and fruits.

Switch to whole-grain bread and c e re a l, a nd be gin to e a t more whole-grain rice and pasta products.

• Ea t your nuts - A lmonds , cashews, pistachios and walnuts make a healthy snack, not too many though, as they can be fattering.

• D on’t butte r he r up - C ut dow n on da iry produc ts . U s e olive oil in cooking. Try olive oil

BENEFICIAL: Fresh, quality fruit and vegetables.

on toast with grated tomatoes for breakfast. It actually tastes great and is better for you.

• Pass on the salt - Try seasoning your meat or fish with herbs and spices rather than salt.

• Fish - Try to eat oily fish at least a couple of days per week.

When is a broken bone not a broken bone?

Bones are alive and continually changing - worn out bone being replaced by new. In fact you get a completely new skeleton every 10 years!

Bones have a thick outer shell and a honeycomb mesh inside - when the gaps in this internal mesh become bigger, making the bone fragile and brittle, this is osteoporosis. Literally porous bones.

Surprise!

Osteoporosis is often called a silent disease as there are few obvious, external symptoms. Many people only realise they have it when they break a bone in a tiny fall and an X-ray reveals

Osteoporosis - are drugs the only answer?

loss of bone density.

However it can be painful and seriously affect your lifestyle - fear of breaking a bone means you don’t live the life you want to.

Causes The biggest one is being female!

While there are a few other disorders and medications that can contribute to bone loss (listed on our website) being a female over 50 is the biggest cause.

Diagnosis The easiest and quickest way to diagnose osteoporosis is a bone density scan.

This is a simple procedure, you don’t even need to remove your clothes, and will give you a bone density score which can be used to monitor your progress and reaction to treatment.

Treatment Medication - there is a huge range

BONES: Have a thick outer shell and a honeycomb mesh inside. of medication available so it is important that you work with your physician to choose the right one for you and this can be a long and involved process. Some medications have very serious and painful side effects, so make sure to ask all the questions before starting treatment. Some also only

prevent bone loss rather than creating new, healthy bone.

Nutrition and Exercise - a diet rich in Vitamin D and Calcium is important in supporting bone health. And weight bearing exercise is also key.

But balance is important - too much exercise on a too low calorie diet can

be as damaging as too little exercise on a too high calorie diet.

Or . . .

There is another option which has demonstrated results of a 4-30 per cent increase in bone density within six months in over 20 years of clinical use throughout Europe.

Magnetic Resonance Therapy (MRT) - a treatment based on the MRI scanner, it stimulates bone regrowth and regeneration and can be used in conjunction with other treatments.

Heat protection THROUGHOUT Europe, there are numerous illnesses and indeed deaths caused by the extreme heat of a heatwave. Such problems are preventable. Here is our advice for you to survive and remain comfortable in the hot summer sun.

Ideally, the indoor temperature of your property should be kept below 32°C during the day and 24°C during the night.

Try cooling your house down, by using the night air to cool down your home. Open all windows and shutters during the night and the early morning, when the outside temperature is lower.

Close windows, blinds and shutters especially those facing the sun during the day.

Look at a Spanish person’s house, the shutters will rarely be open in the heat of the summer.

If your property is air conditioned, ensure that your windows and doors are kept shut when using the units, otherwise, you will be paying to cool down rooms you are not using, or indeed the area.

Electric fans may provide relief, but when the temperature is above 35°C, they may not lower the temperature, they are, however, useful for blowing away mosquitos and other critters.

Avoid going outside during the hottest time of the day and avoid strenuous physical activity if you can. If you must do strenuous activity, do it during the coolest part of the day,

which is usually in the very early morning.

Keep the body cool and hydrated (remember to check the colour of your urine, if it is a strong colour, that is an indicator that you may be dehydrated and should drink more non-alcoholic drinks).

Take cool showers or baths, go to the beach or go for a swim. Alternatives include cold packs and wraps, towels, sponging, foot baths, etc. Just keep cool Wear light coloured, loose-fitting clothes made of natural materials and if you are going out always wear a wide-brimmed hat, to keep the sun off your head.

If you or others feel unwell, immediately seek assistance. If you feel dizzy, weak, anxious or have intense thirst and headache, move to a cool place as soon as possible and measure your body temperature, then drink some cool water or fruit juice to rehydrate you. Always wear sunscreen, with an SPF of at least 30. Sunburn can be painful and can lead to later problems with some skin cancers caused by people having previously had sunburn.

To really make the most of the summer, it may be an idea to think like a local: Take a siesta, at the hottest time of the day; eat later in the cool evening air and eat smaller portions more often; keep out of the sun during the afternoon and drink plenty of hydrating fluids.

Love your liver

Looking after your liver Some over-the-counter and prescription drugs, especially aspirin and paracetamol, are harmful to the liver, yet there are a number of natural products known for their liver-protecting and healing properties that are a much better choice.

Vitamins C and E are very powerful antioxidants that work together in protecting liver cells from damage from free radicals. Drinking plenty of green tea will also help as it contains an abundance of antioxidants.

Supplements such as milk thistle, Nacetyl cysteine and alpha lipoic acid are also known to nourish and support the liver. Milk thistle even promotes the growth of new liver cells and improves the liver’s function.

Eating healthy amounts of potassium-rich fruits and vegetables, such as bananas and beans, will help cleanse the liver, and chlorophyllrich leafy greens, such as spinach and kale, bind to toxins and heavy metals and carry them out from the bloodstream.

Other cleansing foods include carrots - rich in beta-carotene, which also aid the flushing out of toxins from the liver - and beets, which are high in betaine, an amino acid that helps in the breakdown and removal of fats from the liver.

Liquorice is also good, as is dandelion root and magnesium.

MANY people are beginning to realise that a modern-day lifestyle is not all that it’s cracked up to be and are returning to a more traditional and simple way of life. This includes changing their eating habits, transport methods, exercise regimes, and the medicines they use.

Chronic disease and illness come in many shapes and forms, but the majority of experts agree that many appear as symptoms of poor lifestyle habits and stress.

The main contributing factors to the development of disease include obesity, poor nutrition, a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, excessive alcohol, the over-use of antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals and stress. And if you stop to think, all of these are within our own control.

However, staying fit and healthy is becoming more difficult day by day. Not only do we have to cope with this modern-day hectic lifestyle that encourages or forces unhealthy choices, we are also besieged by an onslaught of pollutants and toxins that are everywhere in the air, in our water supply, in our food and in the products that we buy, leaving little chance of escaping an attack on our bodies from one direction or another.

It doesn’t help either that we are not properly informed of what’s going on or that these days govern-

Depressed? then go for a walk in the country. Overweight? go for a walk. Indigestion? go for a walk after your meal, and so it goes on.

Around my village at most times of the day, except lunchtime and in the heat of the summer sun, there are hordes of pensioners out for a stroll. Indeed there is one group of about six ladies who walk fanned out across the width of the local streets.

They remind me of the cast of Reservoir Dogs, but an older female version.

But given the ages that the locals reach (as evidenced in

ments put profit and business above the health and welfare of the people they are meant to look after.

Heavily processed foods, GMOs, trans (toxic) fats, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, dyes, prescription medications and environmental toxins (synthetic pesticides, hormones and heavy metals) all add to the pressure of staying healthy and place a tremendous burden on the body - in particular, the liver.

And it is imperative that the liver is kept in good working order as it is

this hard-working organ that is responsible for not only breaking down the poisons that find their way into our body, but for disposing of naturally-occurring waste products - such as ammonia and bilirubin - as well.

If the liver’s detoxification pathways are impaired, compounds that cause inflammation, the first step towards illness, can end up back circulating around the body again.

This can in turn cause systemic inflammation and immune system reactions, setting the scene for autoim-

mune disease, leaky gut and food sensitivities.

Other important functions of the liver also include the destruction of old and worn-out blood cells, the storage of essential vitamins, the production of the bile, which is required to break down fats and the manufacturing of proteins and cholesterol.

Clearly, when it comes to avoiding chronic disease, the importance of keeping your liver healthy and in top condition can’t be overstated.

Walking - the Nordic way GO FOR A WALK: Nordic style. the local cemetery), then I suspect that such medical advice may not be too bad.

To up your exercise level a great idea is to take up Nordic walking.

Nordic walking (originally called by the catchy name sauvakävely in Finnish) is fitness walking with specially designed poles.

While trekkers, backpackers and skiers had been using the basic concept for decades, the idea was developed about 40 years ago, on the basis of off-

season ski-training activity while using one-piece ski poles.

Compared to regular walking, Nordic walking (also called pole walking) involves applying force to the poles with each stride.

Nordic walkers use more of their entire body (with greater intensity) and receive a wholebody fitness work out not present in normal walking, with great benefits for the chest, triceps, biceps, shoulder, abdominals, spinal and other core muscles which may result in significant increases in your heart rate.

Nordic walking is particularly effective at helping you lose weight because of how intense it is as a physical activity.

The use of the poles in Nordic walking pressures you to use more muscles, which has an effect on burning calories at a faster pace than just ordinary walking.

It is a good idea to purchase a decent pair of walking boots or shoes and you will need the poles, which a certain international sports chain have in stock for under €20.

So follow your doctor’s advice and go for a walk.

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala visits a newly opened beach club in La Cala

Beach food and cocktails!

Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com

WE all love a good cocktail or two and a beach lunch, so when new beach club Unico opened a couple of weeks ago in La Cala, we headed over. Monday is always a good day to go out as The Little Geranium is closed and so we wandered up the promenade in La Cala past El Torreon (where I am partly involved) and there it is.

It was a private villa now converted into a beach club. They worked on it for years it seemed, I often wondered whether it would ever open! But it has and it sits proudly, looking at the beach, opposite beach bar El Tropico. It has its own swimming pool, fantastic looking modern sunbeds, great cocktails and a very impressive wine display of fabulous wines. It’s not huge, but a comfortable size and able to offer a personal and professional service.

Steven with Unico manager David.

Beach food is usually pretty much the same along the coast. The only slight variations are the people cooking it. For example y o u w il l s e e pa e lla , pra w n pil pil, boquerones, calamari, turbot and sole a la plancha, chargrilled sardines and croquettas, everywhere.

T h e S pa nis h think tha t is w ha t w e a ll want to eat all of the time and most bars and

restaurants still have pictures of the food to confirm that it is the pil pil you know!…a throw back of the 1960s and 70’s.

Unico has tried to be a bit different and more up-to-date. It offers some Japanese dishes, burgers, pizza, grilled lobster, as well as traditional dishes like home-made Spanish style croquettas.

There is no doubt that the owners have

spent some money here, it’s great for La Cala offering a pleasant change from the more typical Chiringuito, a welcome addition!

It looks newly opened, a few more plants or some colour on the terraces wouldn’t go amiss but it’s early days as I recall our early days at The Little Geranium and we were so not ready when we opened!

Unico is hosted by David, the manager, who is most charming and attentive, making sure that everyone is happy.

We had lobster salad, home-made croquettas packed with flavour and a tuna tartare.

The Pina Colada was one of the best I have had, it brought back memories of when I had The Pink Geranium in the UK and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was in f or l unch wi t h t he House of Com m ons speaker Betty Boothroyd.

They ordered Pina Coladas but didn’t drink them. I went over at the end of the meal and asked if there anything wrong with the Pina Colada to which Margaret Thatcher replied, “no my dear it’s just that we don’t like pineapple too much.¨ I replied “Sorry Prime Minister, next time I will make them without the pineapple for you! Lol.”

Global Airspeeder racing series to launch 2020 NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick

Airspeeder Mark IV model at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2019.

Freelance correspondent, London, England THE Duke of Richmond hosts the annual ‘Festival of Speed,’ a key date in the summer social calendar for everyone with a passion for speed and is held at his Goodwood Estate, which is not only his home, but also the home of the Goodwood Horse Racing Circuit, the Goodwood Aerodrome and of the Goodwood Grand Prix Circuit, an early host of the Formula 1 Grand Prix.

Everything to do with speed has a place here at Goodwood and showcases new as well as classic speed machines. This year what particularly caught the eye and the imagination was the Airspeeder. A launch of a new concept and a unification of a suite of technologies. The Airspeeder offers the promise of an exciting racing series, coming soon, as soon as 2020. The launch at the FOS 2019 featured two Mark-Two prototype Airspeeders racing head to head at speeds of up to 100 kph and an average of four metres above the ground.

The Airspeeder race series will begin in 2020 and will feature Airspeeder Mark-Four’s which will be manned by pilots. With uncanny echoes of the racing cars of the past though with significant differences the Mark Four manned octocopters or Speeders will achieve speeds of up to 200 kph and offer a power to weight ratio superior to that

Airspeeder Mark Two demonstrates speed and agility at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Airspeeder pit stop.

Lord March the Duke of Richmond and Matt Pearson , Founder and and CEO of Airspeeder at the reveal of the Airspeeder. of a fighter jet. Four metres long and weighing about 250 kgs propelled by eight 50kw motors driving 60 inch blades with power provided by swappable 500kw lithium-ion polymer battery packs. Each Speeder is to be packed with technology including a collision avoidance system and augmented reality systems to allow pilots to see other racers if they are out of sight beneath the level of the fuselage.

The plan is that each Airspeeder Grand Prix will feature head to head racing between 10 pilots

competing for five teams. Every race is expected to involve 30 minutes of flat out racing and include a pit stop when the power packs are swapped, adding to the excitement and dynamism of the racing.

Matt Pearson, founder and CEO of Airspeeder and the driving force behind the Airspeeder race series, said: “This was a very emotional moment for those of us who have been involved in this project from the start, everyone at Alauda Racing and our partners and sponsors. After huge

amounts of hard work, research, technical development and planning this formal unveiling - at an event as iconic as Goodwood - feels as though all our dreams have become reality and Airspeeder has properly arrived.” Developed by Alauda Racing, the Airspeeder concept has taken just four years to get off the ground as the innovative company seeks to make the jump from technology driven start up to worldwide motorsport brand.

Speaking after the opening the Duke of Richmond said: “Airspeeder’s aim is to deliver a new global sport to turbocharge the vertical take-off and landing industry and build the most exciting vehicles in the world. This feels like the inception for a whole new technology and it’s great to have Matt Pearson and the Alauda team here with us to show where we’re headed.”

Summing up Airspeeder’s debut at the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Matt Pearson said: “This is just the start of our reach for the skies.

Our vision sees not just the development of a unique sporting spectacle but also the start of a new industry, with flying cars built for competition providing an ideal environment for innovation and technical evolution.Watch this space.”

Long term the idea appears to be to use the platform of the Airspeeder Race Series to launch a new global sport and turbocharge the electrical vertical take-off and landing [eVTOL] industry and bring flying cars into existence across the planet. Today racing Airspeeders. Tomorrow we may well be driving electric flying cars to work or to the beach. Nick Horne, London, England

MOTORING MOTORING FACT DAVID GANDY, the British model recently commissioned Jaguar Classic to renovate an XK120 from the 1950s to his own personal specifications.

In a statement, Jaguar detailed how the 11-month project took 2,700 hours to complete.

The brief was to make this car race-ready for classic motorsport events such as the Jaguar Classic Challenge and to make it suitable for use on the road.

“Having driven a Jaguar XK120 at the Mille Miglia in 2013 and 2014, I knew that I wanted to own one of these incredibly special cars. The team at Jaguar Classic have done such a remarkable job engineering this car and executing everything that I asked for and it was amazing to have such an in-depth involvement in its creation.”

A suitable 1954 base car was found in California and the engineering team at

Electric cars are not a new thing; they were already being manufactured in 1905. Rauch & Lang produced electric cars until 1920.

Jaguar Classic creation Jaguar Classic retained many components of the original car.

The in-line six-cylinder engine was rebuilt over five and a half months. The result is a performance upgrade from the original 180bhp output to 225bhp and enhanced durability for higher speeds, with items like the core plugs featuring

steel bracing so they do not dislodge during high-speed and hard driving.

Further improvements include the use of a faster-shifting racing-style gearbox which is more durable under high stresses and uprated brakes, with the front set-up now featur-

ing disc brakes with four-pot calipers, while the rear retains the original refurbished drum brakes. The suspension features fully adjustable dampers, allowing Jaguar’s engineers to fine-tune the handling for specific events.

The design and finishing touches were created in collabo-

ration with Gandy, who chose the colour and materials used in the renovation. The exterior is finished in solid black, made up of 13 litres and four coats of paint, while additional exterior features include a racing-inspired flip-top fuel cap. The original split-screen windscreen has been replaced by twin aero screens, another feature synonymous with the

XK120 Lightweight.

Inside, the car is totally unique. Finished in an Aged Saddle tan leather, the seats feature a bespoke lattice design with the seatbacks finished in aluminium rather than the usual fabric material.

Whilst two batteries would usually sit behind the driver’s seat, for this car the Classic team put a single battery behind the passenger seat to free up space behind the driver, to enhance comfort for 6’ 2” tall Gandy. This was also a consideration when selecting the steering wheel, which is smaller than normal, again, to provide more legroom.

PERSONAL SPECIFICATIONS: XK120 restored and customised.

Concept Lexus LC Convertible ambition, but it was only just the beginning. Since then, the Lexus design team has been exploring the brand’s evolution and the latest result of those explorations debuted at the 2019 North American International Auto Show with the world premiere of the Lexus LC Convertible Concept.

A stunning design from every angle, the LC Convertible Concept stands as an aspirational vehicle for the entire Lexus lineup. “This concept takes the unmistakable design of the LC coupe and reimagines

it as a future convertible,” said Tadao Mori, Chief Designer of the LC Convertible Concept.

“It blends all the best aspects of the original coupe with the dynamic design of an open-air convertible.”

More than just a grand tourer, the strong exterior lines of the LC Convertible Concept reinforce its performance pedigree. Its short overhangs, 22inch wheels and wide stance are all reminders of this car’s performance potential.

A production version of this concept would be exhilarating

in many different ways.

Lexus’ passion for brave design, imaginative technology, and exhilarating performance enables the luxury lifestyle brand to create amazing experiences for its customers.

Lexus began its journey in 1989 with two luxury sedans and a commitment to pursue perfection. Since then, Lexus has developed its lineup to meet the needs of global luxury customers in more than 90 countries.

With six models incorporating Lexus Hybrid Drive, Lexus is the luxury hybrid leader.

Peugeot 508 GT

ROAD TEST

by Nick Fletcher PEUGEOT’S sleek 508 GT model has an attention-grabbing image with its low-slung coupe styling, yet it is a practical four-door fastback offering very sporty performance.

Aimed at the premium executive market which includes the BMW 4 Gran Coupe and the Audi A5 Sportback, the 508 GT underlines the brilliant design talents and rising ambition of the French company.

Peugeot 508 prices start at €28,196 (£25,245) with petrol and diesel options.

My top-spec GT model costing €40,929 (£36,645) - had a 2.0 litre turbo-diesel unit pumping out 177 hp. Mated to the standard eight-speed auto gearbox, this power translates to a top speed of 235 kph (146 mph) and a 0-100 kph time of 8.3 seconds.

Average fuel economy is good at 17 kpl (48 mpg) and emissions are 125 g/km.

On the road, the 508 GT accelerates eagerly, with a throaty note from its twin ex-

18 - 24 July 2019

SLEEK MODEL: Offering a very sporty performance.

Facts at a glance hausts. The auto gearbox makes slick changes and the adaptive suspension keeps the car firmly planted even on tight bends. The steering feel is well-weighted and gives excellent feedback. Overall, the 508 GT comes over as an impressive driver’s car.

Model: Peugeot 508 GT Engine: 2-litre diesel Transmission: 8-speed automatic Performance: 0-100 kph 8.3 seconds, top speed 235 kph (146 mph) Economy: 17 kpl (48 mpg) Emissions: 125 g/km

Model tested was UK-specification and equipment levels and prices may vary in other markets.

The exterior styling, with frameless doors, tear-drop running light, rear bumper diffuser and the 508 emblem on the bonnet help make the car a head-turner and the cabin maintains the stand-out look with stitched leather seating and a well-designed dashboard with digital dials

viewed over the steering wheel rather than through it.

The rear seats are adequate for all, but very tall occupants and while boot space is not largest in the class, at 487 litres it’s still fine for normal requirements and can be expanded to 1,537 litres if the seats seats are folded.

Standard equipment is extensive and includes cruise control with speed limiter, powered front seats, dual zone air-conditioning, powered tailgate, 3D satnav, Bluetooth, media streaming, smartphone mirroring, premium audio system and LED headlights with cornering function.

The 508 GT makes sufficient impact to become a significant presence in a class dominated by German manufacturers and laden with distinctive French flair, it offers a refreshing executive alternative.

Volkswagen T-Cross VOLKSWAGEN has recently released the new T-Cross, a small SUV which is available in Spain with three different engines with two designated to the TSi and the third the TDi. The engines available for the Volkswagen T-Cross are the 1.0 TSI 70 kW (95 hp), which is combined with a manual gearbox fivespeed, and the 1.0 TSI 85 kW (115 hp), and you can choose between a six-speed manual gearbox and a seven-speed DSG. As of March 2019, Volkswagen will add a 70 kW (95 hp) 1.6 TDI diesel engine with a five-speed gearbox for Advance and Sport finishes.

The exterior follows the established SUV dynamic, such as the imposing front, the large wheel arches and a particularly wide and dynamic rear.

One of its strengths is the interior, which benefits from a partic-

ularly innovative and flexible concept. It is very spacious and versatile. Its removable rear bench allows the boot to offer between 385 and 455 litres.

Djokovic and Halep champs I had the most physically demanding match against Nadal in the final of Australia that went almost six hours.

But mentally this was a different level because of everything.

He added: “I’m just obviously thrilled and overjoyed with emotions to be sitting here in front of you as a winner. It was one shot away from losing the match, as well. This match had everything. It could have gone easily his way.”

On Saturday the former number one Simona Halep beat Serena Williams to claim the Wimbledon women’s title.

She overcame the 23-time Grand Slam champion 6-2, 6-2 to win her second Slam title in straight sets.

This was Halep’s first final at SW19, and she now has another slam trophy to sit alongside the one she won last year at the French Open.

It took her just 55 minutes to beat Williams in a dominating display. In 10 previous meetings Halep had triumphed just once.

Halep now looks likely to return to the Top 4 on the WTA rankings, having dropped to No 8 after Roland Garros.

IT is hard to win Wimbledon. Novak Djokovic had to save saved two championship points to beat Roger Federer 7-6(5), 1-6, 7-6(4), 4-6, 1312(3).

This was the third time he had beaten Federer in Wimbledon finals. He is now getting closer to Federer’s record of 20 grand slams with his 16th major championship title It was a historic final for Djokovic and Wimbledon. The last time a Wimbledon men’s champion saved match points in the final was 71 years ago, in 1948, when American Robert Falkenburg beat John Bromwich of Australia 7-5, 0-6, 6-2, 3-6, 7-5, after being three match points down.

Earlier in the fifth, though, the Serbian looked as if he’d be the one with championship points before the tiebreak. The Serbian broke for 4-2, but Federer broke back in the latest momentum switch in one of the best Grand Slam finals in recent memory.

Djokovic said: “It was probably the most demanding, mentally most demanding, match I was ever part of.

CHAZ DAVIES has returned to winning ways in the World Superbikes championship.

His win at the Laguna Seca Raceway in California was his first in 15 months, since Aragon 2018.

After taking part in his 200th World Superbike race in the morning’s Superpole Race, the 32-year-old Welsh rider took his 30th career win in the championship with a superb performance in Race two, dominating from start to finish and crossing the line three seconds ahead of his main rival, Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki).

It was on the other hand a weekend to forget for Aruba.IT (Ducatti) teammate Álvaro Bautista. In the Superpole Race, reduced from 10 to eight laps because of a red flag, the 34-year-old Spanish racer crashed at turn two after

contact with Turkish rider Razgatlioglu.

In the crash Bautista suffered stretched ligaments in his left shoulder, but after the OK from the circuit medical staff, he lined up on the grid for the start of Race two. Unfortunately, because of the pain and a lack of strength in his left arm, he had to pull into the pits and retire after the opening lap.

Davies now moves up to seventh place in the championship with 184 points, while Bautista, who failed to score one point over the weekend, remains in second place with

352 points. In the lead is Jonathan Rea on 433 points.

The next round of the Superbike World Championship will take place in two months’ time at the Autodromo dell’Algarve in Portugal, from September 6 to 8.

Chaz Davies said: “This win really means a lot to me, because it’s been a long hard season so far. The last time I won was almost a year and a half ago and it gets to a point where you wonder whether you can still win or not.

“It’s just proof if you keep plugging away and work hard then the results sooner or later

will come and today was that day. Finally, we got it right, my team did an excellent job, in particular at the end of the FP1 session on Friday morning when we made a big change to the bike’s set-up.

“To be honest, I wasn’t sure I had the pace to win though, because Johnny’s pace in race one was strong and consistent while I chose the wrong tyre.

Even so I wasn’t sure if this tyre would make the difference. I’m very happy and thrilled to get this result going into the summer break and we will all certainly celebrate tonight!”

England cricket world champions THE England and Wales cricket team managed to overcome New Zealand in a Super Over following the teams tying the final.

New Zealand had looked to be about 20 runs light at the end of their innings, but an impressive bowling display saw them pull England back. A tricky pitch where the ball didn’t ‘come on’ made ‘heavy scoring’ difficult.

England fell one run short and so the match was tied, and had to go to a tie breaker which England won.

New Zealand had to score 16 runs in six balls, but they couldn’t quite make it tying with England again, but losing on boundary count.

England lived up to their pretournament billing of tournament favourites and strung together a sequence of performances when they needed to.

They had managed to get themselves into the position of having to win their last four matches to take the trophy for the first time.

England went into this tournament as overwhelming

favourites, and having enjoyed perhaps the most dominant run any side has had leading up to a World Cup ever.

In the span of four years, England had gone from a mediocre

one-day outfit without direction to an invincible line-up of worldbeaters.

Even so, this was far from a perfect campaign for the home team. But that blip itself was in-

tegral to them further evolving and proving why they are truly the top one-day side in the world.

England began as people expected them to, with a big win

over South Africa in the tournament opener. They even put behind an unexpected defeat to Pakistan in their second game quickly to pick up wins over B a n g l a d e s h , We s t I n d i e s a n d Afghanistan.

But then, Jason Roy injured his hamstring, and in his absence, England lost to Sri Lanka, in what was the upset of the tournament, and then Australia.

As a result, they were left with must-wins against India and New Zealand - two teams they hadn’t b e a t e n a t a Wo r l d C u p i n 2 7 years.

But Roy returned, and with it, England rediscovered their winning ways, putting up strong totals against both teams to qualify for the semi-finals for the first time since 1992.

They destroyed Australia at Edgbaston to set up a final date with New Zealand and won, stunningly, on a boundary count after tying New Zealand in both the allotted 100 overs, as well as the Super Over to cap off the greatest final in tournament history with a maiden triumph.

LEWIS HAMILTON has won the British Grand Prix at Silverstone to write himself into the record books.

Starting from second on the grid, he took advantage of a slice of luck to get past teammate Valtteri Bottas.

He took advantage of a safety car to pit as the other cars slowed, which allowed him him to re-emerge still in the lead.

He never looked back, with a flawless drive until the finishing line.

Bottas was second in the race, with Charles Leclerc in third. Pierre Gasly, Max Ver-

stappen, Carlos Sainz, Daniel Ricciardo, Kimi Raikkonen, Daniil Kyvat and Nico Hulkenberg completed the top 10.

The gap between Hamilton and Bottas in the overall standings widened to 38 points. It is Hamilton’s 80th career victory and his sixth at the British Grand Prix, making him the most successful driver at the race. Jim Clark and Alain Prost have five wins each. He now has seven wins from 10 meetings and Mercedes have been beaten only once this season.

Speaking after the event Lewis Hamilton said: “I remember my first win here in 2008 and the feeling that I had coming out of Brooklands and going down the straight and

seeing the crowd. It felt so reminiscent of that today - the excitement and happiness and joy that I felt were exactly the same as back then.

“I’ve done so many races now, and you would think that after so many races you’d get used to it and the feeling would numb down, but it felt like it was the first win I ever had.”

He added: “Valtteri drove a very strong race and we had a really good fight in the beginning; I nearly got him going into Turn 7, but he was next to me and I couldn’t really close the door. After that I backed off a little and waited for the pit stops, hoping that I could maybe overtake him in the pits.

“I extended my first stint for a few more laps, then the Safety Car came out and that was perfect timing for me as I came back out in front of Valtteri. I’m really grateful to all of those people that have helped me achieve this today; I have this incredible team behind me and it’s really amazing to be a part of it, to be breaking down walls and records and pushing the limits and boundaries every weekend.”

Valtteri Bottas said: “I had a good start off the line and then a good fight with Lewis in the first few laps, which was really enjoyable. After my pit stop, I was controlling the gap to Lewis, but then the Safety Car came out and he effectively got a free stop and came out ahead of me.

“I was hoping that there might be another opportunity in the race, but I knew the chances were slim because I had to do another stop to change to a different compound anyway. The tyre life

He added: “I’m disappointed because the win was definitely possible for me today, but I can definitely take positives from this week-

end - I had a strong Qualifying and my race pace also looked very good. It was also ano t h e r

strong weekend from the team, to take a 1-2 after a difficult race in Austria is a great result.”
