Ambassador’s reassurance
FOLLOWING the collapse of Thomas Cook, some tourists who have travelled out from the UK on Thomas Cook package holidays have been asked to pay for their hotels. This should not be happening. The UK’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has sent a letter to every hotel that has an ATOL-protected passenger in it, guaranteeing the payment to the hotel from arrival to the scheduled departure date. British Ambassador to Spain Hugh Elliott said: “I hope that confirmation that the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority has already sent a guarantee of payment to every hotel with Thomas Cook package holiday customers, assures holidaymakers that there should not be any surprise bills.” He added: “If you are on an ATOL-protected package holiday and are experiencing difficulties from the hotel or they are requesting payment from you, my advice is that you call the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority on +44 1753 330 330 as soon as possible. It is also important not to make a payment to your hotel unless you are instructed to do so by the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s team.” If you are ATOL protected, you will have received an ATOL certificate as part of your reservation process. Travellers who are unsure should visit: https://thomas cook.caa.co.uk/customers/check-if-you-are-atol-protect ed/. In exceptional circumstances, if the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority is unable to guarantee the hotel stay, the CAA may need to relocate travellers to another hotel. Travellers who are not ATOL protected with any company that was part of the Thomas Cook Group, may be able to claim from their travel insurer, bank or credit card issuer.

Brits on trial for ATM robberies TWO British men have been placed in front of a judge, accused of blowing up cash machines in the Malaga Province. The pair stand accused of using two gas canisters, one of oxygen and one of acetylene and attaching them to the cash machine, causing an explosion to rupture the machine enough to reach the safe. Ten ATMs were hit altogether across the province, including banks in Algarrobo, Alhaurin el Grande, Monda, Marbella, Malaga City, Ojen, and Mijas; as well as another robbery in Tarifa, Cadiz. After a short investigation, the pair was hunted down and during their arrest at their home, police found two hand grenades, catalogued as weapons of war, in addition to cash and four kilos of marihuana. The chief prosecutor is asking for the two men to be sentenced to 80 years in prison for 10 crimes of robbery with force, one of possession of weapons of war, theft of a vehicle use and drug trafficking.
Fake ticket sales VELEZ-MALAGA Council has warned fair goers about the illegal sale of tickets for the Feria de San Miguel. The situation arose when the town hall sold out of the tickets due to high demand.

The town hall has warned that the resale of the tickets is illegal, and that tickets are linked to the individual’s NIE number so anyone with a ticket that doesn’t match may be refused entry to the festival.

HEALTH & BEAUTY
A BEAUTIFUL yet solemn photographic display was recently exhibited at Madrid’s Goethe Institute. THE Photographs, A Collection Entitled ‘Memoria Perdida’ by accomplished artist and photographer Miquel Gonzalez were displayed as part of the 2019 Photoespana Festival. His photographs depict eerily still and subdued landscapes, normally a scene of beauty, these images show the sites of mass, unmarked graves filled during the tragic Spanish Civil War in 1939. Spain has one of the highest num-
bers of mass graves in the world after more than 130,000 people ‘disappeared’ during the War and during Francisco Franco’s subsequent dictatorship. Their remains are distributed across more than 2,500 unexcavated, unmarked mass grave sites, mainly surrounding the Madrid Province. It was only in the 1970s that Spain managed to discover its freedom after the tyrannical reign of Franco, which was around the time that photograph-
er Gonzalez was discovering his love for learning about the rich history that came at such a turbulent time. The Spanish Civil War has not long since ended, and the last of its remaining witnesses have all but passed, with experts warning that the country is in danger of falling into a perpetual silence regarding the tragic events. However the government is pledging a total of €150,000 to fund efforts to remember the country’s brutal history for generations to come.

The neighbourhood group that represents the area is angry the coalition government in the area of the PSOE and Grupo Indepentiente have allegedly gone back on a promise to invest funds into the construction of an elderly centre in the area. The group believes the funds have been allocated elsewhere to the construction of a new road network in Almayate instead, with the selling of the proposed plot to the Cooperativa Mares de Benejarafe. The promise made by then candidate Antonio Moreno Ferrer and Maria Jose Roberto was spread over the entire provincial press; however the current lack of funding and apparent u-turn in policy has left the town’s elderly without a proper space to socialise.

Patient makes verbal threats IN a new case of agg re s s i o n a i m e d a t medical professionals in the region, a doctor has denounced a patient for making verbal threats whilst undergoing treatment. The College of Physicians of Malaga has confirmed the man, who has not been named, made verbal threats towards a female doctor. The incident happened after the patient was admitted to the e me rge nc y he a lth centre of Torre del Mar, and whilst being attended to by the doctor, became increasingly aggressive before threatening that his ‘family

This latest case in aggressive behaviour to medical professionals adds to the already high number recorded this year. In total during 2019, 33 cases have been reported, more than the accumulative amount for the whole of 2018.

Sudden death of Gaspar Bokesa RINCON DE LA VICTORIA is in mourning after the death of one of its most influential auditors. Gaspar Bokesa acted as chief auditor for the Commonwealth of Axarquia from 1992 and established himself as a p i l l a r o f t h e o rg a n i s a tion. Guinean born Bokesa was admitted to hospital on Tuesday September 17 with lesions on his legs, however complica-
tions in the resulting treatment and the man’s ill health led to his passing. He arrived at the Commonwealth of Axarquia in 1991 after short spells working under the towns of Villena in Alicante and in the Balearic municipality of Calviá. A graduate in Economics and Business, he quickly stood out for his affable character and his absolute rigour in the explanation of reports.
From 2003, he sought to combine his position as municipal secretary with the role of auditor of the Commonwealth Municipalities of the Costa del Sol-Axarquia. Rincon officials have not yet released plans for his funeral in order to respect the cultures and tradition of his Guinean family, however an announcement will be made shortly as to when and where people can pay their respects.

The mayor of Nerja, José Alberto Armijo and the Chief Infrastructure Engineer of the City Council, Antonio Dorado met with Fernando Delgado, Director General of Planning and Water Resources on Friday September 20 to discuss the next stage in unblocking the progress on the new Nerja Health Centre. Dorado has signed an agreement which allows the Department of Planning and Water Resources to assess the floodability of the site currently allocated to the building of the new centre. The department will carry out, as urgently as possible, hydrological and hydraulic studies to determine whether the site is susceptible to flood waters in situations of sustained rainfall. Once the assessment has taken place and a positive outcome has been reached, according to the local council, this is the last in the many hurdles before real progress can be made in the construction process.

Esperanto gains promotion THE commonly used, but often forgotten language of Esperanto has been promoted in Velez-Malaga. Esperanto is the most widely spoken constructed auxiliary international language, yet it is rarely considered when learning secondary languages. However the IES Almenara in Velez-Malaga is to bring the language back to the residents of the town as part of a European project to expose the language to more people. The project, called ‘Esperanto Komuniko,’ is currently only taught in the Almenara centre in Velez, along with centres in Italy, France, Lithuania, Hungary and Greece. Six teachers in various subjects have had the opportunity to travel to other European locations to take part in the courses, in which only teachers are allowed to communicate in their native language. All student / teacher interaction must be conducted in Esperanto. Although it is not an official language, many European colleges teach the language as it is said that speaking it provides a substantial base for learning other European languages.

What to do in the event of an emergency in Spain 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. In Spain there are in effect two groups which most people would understand as being ‘the police.’ The National Police (Policía Nacional) who have jurisdiction in the towns and cities and the Guardia Civil outside the towns and cities. The Local Police are employed by town halls; they basically deal with property found, and enforce local laws. Whilst they have a power of arrest, when exercised they must take the arrested person to the National Police or Guardia Civil according to where the crime took place. National Police and the Guardia Civil deal with all crimes, missing persons etc in their jurisdiction. The National Police also deal with all applications for immigration paperwork, NIEs, EU Citizens Registration and for non EU nationals, Residencia, etc.
The 24 hours national emergency numbers for Spanish speakers are: 091 - police, 061 health emergencies 080 - firefighters. By calling 902 102 112, but only when the perpetrator is unknown, one can give details of certain crimes, including:- burglaries, car theft, theft or loss of documents or belongings. The service is available in English from 9am to 9pm seven days a week, and from 9am to 3pm in French, German and Italian. Having given details of the crime, you must go to the National Police station which you nominate, within 48 hours to make the report using the information supplied on the telephone. In the case of robbery, where threat or force has been used, victims should call 112 at the time for police attendance, or go directly to the police station which covers that area to make a report.
091 or 902 102 112 from 9am to 9pm
Throughput Europe the general number for all emergencies is 112. In Spain the operators speak English, French, German and Italian, in addition to Spanish and will liaise with the emergency services when the caller does not speak Spanish. No area code is needed and the number can be called from any phone, including mobiles even those without a Spanish SIM card or any credit. You can also fax or SMS 112.
Other useful number are:016, specifically to report instances of gender violence. For problems at sea, the Maritime Rescue Service (Salvamento Seguridad Maritmo) can be contacted by calling 900 202 202, and the Red Cross (Cruz Rojo) on 902 222 292. There is also a Red Cross 24-hour helpline 900 100 333.

BREXIT BRIEF
Corbyn remains on fence LABOUR activists failed to push leader Jeremy Corbyn off the f e n c e a n d a g re e a clear Brexit policy for the party. Grassroots members at the party’s annual conference called on Monday for Labour to adopt an unequivocal Remain stance. The public service union, Unison, backed the move but it wasn’t enough to change the party’s officially neutral position which many Labour supporters see as weak. Brexit has shown Labour is split over the UK’s future relationship with Europe. If Labour were to win a General Election the shadow cabinet plans to maintain a ‘wait and see’ tactic while negotiating a new settlement with the EU. Their policy would be to call a referendum based on the details of the deal reached and to decide at that time what side to campaign on. Those demanding a clear Remain position had to convince the trade unions to support the motion as they control 50 per cent of the conference votes. They argued that the majority of members were already in favour of remaining in the EU - as was the shadow cabinet - and that officially declaring this would
STANCE: Party conference calls on leader to make a stand for Remain. send a clear message to voters. But Mr Corbyn had reconfirmed his view that the party had to respect the original outcome of the referendum and understand why people voted to leave. Shadow chancellor John McDonnell - who has already said he would support Remain in any future vote welcomed the ‘honest debate.’ He said that people should not “mistake democracy for division” within the party. He told the BBC Today programme: “This is an honest, democratic debate and that is what our party is about - making sure that people can express their views democratically and be honest about their assessments.
Court ruling due JUDGES have condemned Boris Johnson’s suspension of Parliament during Brexit talks as unlawful. The Supreme Court announced its historic finding on Tuesday after a three-day hearing. The legal challenge to the suspension was brought jointly by former Prime Minister John Major and campaigner Gina Miller. Calls have been made for Parliament to be recalled immediately and for Boris Johnson to resign. The government’s lawyers argued that suspending Parliament was a political matter and not one for the judiciary. Supreme Court president, Lady Hale, said the effect of the suspension on democracy had been “extreme”. She added that it had frustrated and prevented Parliament carrying out its constitutional functions and was “without reasonable justification”.
“People have high emotions on this because they feel it is important, but people are respecting each other’s views as well.”
BREXIT EXTRA Get real IRISH deputy Prime Minister Simon Courtney has called for ‘a dose of reality’ in the likelihood of a new deal being struck on Brexit. He warned there was still a wide gap between Dublin’s position on the backstop and the British government’s aims in reaching an agreement.
Ideas shared DOCUMENTS said to detail the UK government’s idea on how to find a solution have been shared with the EU. The confidential files were issued to the EU after Boris Johnson was told he had 12 days to reveal his plans. Discussion has now begun on the technicalities of post-Brexit trade.
World debate WORLD leaders were expected to join the Brexit debate at a meeting of the UN in New York this week. Boris Johnson said he intended to put Brexit on the agenda and would take the opportunity to discuss the way forward when he meets French and German leaders.

Bake Off 2019’s Spanish flavour THE Great British Bake Off 2019 has a distinctly Spanish flavour this year as Spanish Halloween enthusiast Helena Garcia sets her sights on the title of Britain’s best baker. Forty-year-old Helena has so far made it through to the fourth week after impressing the judges with her biscuits, cakes and her baking skills. Helena currently works in Leeds as an online project manager and has developed a love for baking after moving to Las Vegas as part of a school exchange programme. She was born in the Spanish enclave of Cueta in North Africa before moving to Lanzarote where she was brought up, all the time learning baking skills from her Spanish grandmother. She then moved to mainland Spain where she studied for her degree. The mother-of-one decided to apply for The Great British Bake Off 2019 after winning a baking competition at work, and had a little bit of a meltdown when she discovered she had gained a place on the popular show. “When I learned that I had got in I had a bit of a confidence crisis thinking, can I possibly be good enough?” she explained.

The National Police of Gijon arrested a couple living in Nuevo Roces in connection with the incident at the end of August. Her partner of seven years has been released with charges. The arrests took place over the weekend. Police have indicated that the woman is the baby’s mother and had hidden her pregnancy. The baby’s body had numerous cuts caused by a knife, according to an autopsy performed at the Institute of Legal Medicine.

Distributing water THE Army distributed food and water to homes in Almoradi. Driving through the flooded streets to deliver supplies to families trapped in their homes, the army went from door to door in the horrendous conditions caused by the Vega Baja floods. The situation has been improving little by little as the flow of the river has begun to decline. Predictions were that further flooding was unlikely. Houses, however, are still in a state of repair and it will cost thousands for the homes and buildings to be restored following the disaster. Residents are busy cleaning up and rebuilding their towns.

Crime down on last year CRIME in Huercal-Overa is down on last year, the local council reported. Commenting on a gathering of local officials and law enforcement agencies to discuss the municipality’s public security, the local authority also said Huercal-Overa is ‘one of the safest in the province.’ Mayor Francisca Lourdes Fernandez, Sub-delegate of the government in Almeria, Manuel de la Fuente Arias, along with representatives from the Sub-delegation, Local Police, Guardia Civil, autonomous police and the Junta de Andalucia government delegation looked at future measures and policies. One of the most immediate matters is next month’s fiesta celebrations. They also agreed to draw up a municipal security plan and to modify the protocol for collaboration and coordination between the law enforcement services for the protection of gender violence victims. The mayor highlighted the excellent relations between the different law enforcement bodies and commented on the positive impact this has on residents’ security. Fernandez said the council will “continue working to make Huercal-Overa an increasingly safe municipality with coordinated actions with the security forces, whom we thank for their dedication.”

AXARQUIA LIFESAVER: Staff (inset) saved the man from choking.
Waiter saves diner’s life A MAN aged 75 who was choking to death had his life saved by a waiter. The unidentified man was enjoying a meal with his wife at Venta La Butibamba in La Cala de Mijas (Malaga) when food blocked his airway. Initially his wife tried to help, but her efforts were proving ineffective. That is when restaurant manager Víctor Parras, aged 28, stepped in. He knew how to practise the Heimlich manoeuvre, as the abdominal compression technique is known, which is performed as first aid to help expel an object that obstructs the airway. Everything happened very quickly, in two distressing minutes that were recorded by the security camera of the establishment. Initially the manoeuvre didn’t work and the man started to turn purple, so Victor redoubled his efforts. Finally, the meat was dislodged and the man could breathe again. He refused a doctor and calmly finished his meal.

Facelift for centre THE Senior Citizens’ Day Centre in Torre del Mar has received a facelift thanks to a council investment. The deputy mayor of Torre del Mar, Jesus Perez Atencia, and councillor Jose David Segura visited the site last week to oversee progress on the transformation. Work on the popular centre included repairs to furniture, benches and facilities for games and exercises, repainting, gardening and industrial cleaning works. Atencia said: “We wanted to give a more modern image to the Senior Day Centre of Torre del Mar, integrating it into the entire ornamental line of the village. The elderly, for us, are a very important sector in our municipality.” Segura continued to explain that the works had the “intention of improving the quality of service offered to the elderly and encourage active ageing in the facilities themselves.” REFURB: Jesus Perez Atencia, and Jose David Segura stand outside the newly refurbished centre.
MALLORCA ORIENTA: One of the few public services of this type in the country.
LGBTI advice centres THE Valencian council has outsourced advice to gays, lesbians, transsexuals, bisexuals and intersexuals to the most well-known associations in the region. The programme, named Orienta, is a pioneering initiative in the Valencian Community and one of the few public services of this type in the country. Its function is to inform and guide members of the LGBTI community, friends and families who need help in matters of gender identity and sexual orientation, as well as psychological, social, legal, administrative or health support. “We help from trans people who are starting the process to people who have suffered aggressions or any other hate crime,” said the director of the service, Victor Sanchez. Although it has been active since July 1, the launch of the programme will take place in September. The service is staffed by seven professionals with different profiles, most of them graduates from LGTBI activism networks and social work.
Truce in conflict A PEACE pact has been agreed by warring neighbours. The Association of Neighbours and Friends of Santa Catalina has signed an ‘agreement of coexistence’ with businesses in the area after a row over noise and disturbance. The agreement has been reached with the Restaurants and Leisure Association of Santa Catalina and the Municipal Market to try to create a way forward to prevent future conflict. President of the Association of Neighbours and Friends of Santa Catalina, Jacinta Galindo, explained that the aim was to create harmony and understanding between all three parties. Mr Galindo said: “The signatory entities are committed to ensure the care of the environment, respect the rest of the neighbours, promote local products, support the small and medium business of the neighbourhood, and improve relations between neighbours and institutions.” There has been confrontation throughout the summer between restaurant owners and residents over noise and obstruction from the terraces throughout the area. This agreement is to allow the parties to work together and states an understanding that ‘Santa Catalina is a district where most of its development is based on leisure and the market and we have to understand each other.’

This has now started with car insur ance and will expand over a few months to offer home and life insur ance to the wider public as well as ex isting bank customers.
LEGALLY SPEAKING Did they have permission? We were taken to court by a neighbour and by our Community of Property Owners for an extension that we built sixteen years ago. We lost the case and we were ordered to remove the extension. Our town hall advised us at the time that we could do the work and our lawyers assured us that the building would never be demolished. We have completed the demolition and we have a buyer for the house. We have lost about €100,000 with building work. We also have four longstanding liens on the property which now amount to a total of about €30,000. Our lawyers say we also have to pay €6,000 for costs of removing the liens from the land registry. From a house sold at €150,000 we will be left with €33,000. Can you advise? J.S. (Costa Blanca) You do not say why you lost the YOU AND THE court case. I sus LAW IN SPAIN pect that it is be cause you did not obtain the permission of the commu nity before making the extension. Properly, your town hall should not have issued a building permit without first seeing this permission. This, I fear, will not consti tute grounds for an appeal.

Green energy
A BRITISH investment company SDCL, which specialises in energy generation, expects to take over a portfolio of energy production plants from an unnamed source in Spain at an estimated cost of €64 million. The purchase, which has yet to be officially approved, will bring five combined heat and power plants, two olive processing plants and two biomass plants to the company. It is believed that the operation not only has longterm supply agreements with a number of major companies but also sup plies the National Grid.

According to media sources, Atresmedia, the owner of Antena 3 TV and La Sexta, and telecom munications company Telefónica, are applying for approval to set up this new company to take advan tage of the large perceived market here in Spain.
Both organisations are strong in their own partic ular areas, with Telefónica (and Movistar) having a large share of the pay TV market, while Atresmedia already produces large volumes of new TV, some of which is already sold to Netflix. This new company will not just focus on the Spanish market but will look to enter into other Spanishspeaking countries and must have an eye open to the size of the Latino population in the USA.

IRPH Mortgage opinion By John Smith THERE are differing views concerning an initial indication from the advocate general of the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) in respect of the mortgage interest based on Spain’s mortgage price index (IRPH). In publishing his opinion, which is not binding, he infers that there is a possibility that the conditions sur rounding such mortgages, issued main ly in the building boom years in Spain could be considered abusive.
IN COURT: A hearing before the CJEU.
Flush sensibly A NEW campaign in Malaga Province may well be picked up throughout Spain as it reminds the public of the dangers of irresponsible use of sanitary wipes and napkins. Acosol - the public water company of the Costa del Sol and the water distributors Hidralia, have launched the campaign with a 20-second video aimed at social media. It points out the problems caused to both the sewer systems and the environment by flushing away such wipes.
According to the Acosol spokesperson, the company collected more than 2,000 tons of these wipes from its sewage plants in 2018. It was revealed that this is the largest type of non-degradable waste being dealt with by the company. The campaign, which is supported by posters and brochures, wants to explain to the public the inadvisability of simply flushing away such items and also to promote to manufacturers the need to make them biodegrable.
The matter was referred to the CJEU by a Barcelona court as the holder of such a mortgage was making a claim against his lender arguing that the cal culations surrounding the mortgage in terest charged were not clear and that his lender was charging more than if he had the more common mortgage tied to the EURIBOR rate. In essence, the advocate has sug gested that, if there is not total clarity in the wording of the mortgage docu ment, then there may be reasonable cause for complaint, but any final deci sion concerning such cases would actu ally rest with the Spanish courts. Some lawyers believe that assuming the CJEU supports his view, then there will be a significant number of cases brought against Spanish lenders with the opportunity for compensation to be awarded, but the Association of Spanish Banks takes a different view, believing that borrowers would have understood what they were letting themselves in for. The final ruling from the court will not be until next year and Spanish banks are making no special provisions in their 2019 accounts for compensa tion pay outs.

BUSINESS EXTRA
UK trade deals sparse WITH Brexit fast approaching (possibly), there is every probability that the European Market for British goods and import of EU goods could be heavily curtailed until such time as a trade agreement is entered into. In the meantime, Britain will have to rely on World Trade Organisation terms, which do generally see the imposition of tariffs, or make some very hasty trade deals if that is possible. Once the result of the Brexit referendum was known, the British Government set up a special department to deal with promoting trade deals. It has so far entered into some ‘continuity deals’ which means that the agreements will basically be the same as if the UK was still part of the EU. There are 13 such deals in place covering much of Africa, Central America, the Caribbean, the Pacific Islands, Palestine and other smaller territories with the only major deals being struck with Iceland, Norway, South Korea and Switzerland.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT WELL there’s a turn up. A recent poll carried out by our illustrious, ‘non-biased’ BBC TV, which asked if integration was working in the UK, resulted in a massive 95 per cent of the public coming back with an emphatic and decisive NO. Yes you read it correctly 95 per cent! Al most unbelievably, on receiving the live out come, despite the result being overwhelm ing, some of the nodoubt carefully selected studio panel, still argued that the poll had somehow been conducted in the ‘wrong ar eas’. Give us all a break. Just how convincing do these results have to be before the snowflakes and arrogant ‘knowitall’ elite can admit they are in the wrong? Listen carefully all of you so called ex perts! Whatever ‘area,’ time of the month or ‘wrong leaves on the track’, 95 per cent against 5 per cent is an utterly decisive vote against the outof touch policies constantly being jammed down the throats of the British public. You only have to ask anyone living outside your privileged, selfindulgent, naive bubble.

No social bliss
CULTURAL INTEGRATION: Recognise the problems and quell the rising disquiet. big ‘happy family’ simply doesn’t work. No one is happy. The different cultures aren’t happy, the mish mashes of diverse religion ists aren’t happy and the indigenous popula tion, who used to be happy, is quite rightly not only extremely unhappy, but is also be coming increasingly angry with the whole sorry state of affairs.
It’s also time the media egocentrics stopped insulting the public’s intelligence and desisted from churning out this positive glut of agonizingly PC commercials, where every second TV ad shows mixed marriages and diverse families living in blissful harmo ny. Or depicts walks in the park, with a care fully chosen cross section of cultures, all
playing happily together. It is all a cruel illu sion. It simply isn’t true. I’m not trying to stir up racial disharmony or religious unrest; I’m simply pointing out that, the sooner we recognise that problems truly do exist, and that this whole diversity experiment is in its present form an unmitigated disaster, then the sooner we will quell the rising disquiet and begin a positive approach to sort out the problems. All the time we listen to the leftie snowflakes spouting their propaganda and lying about the true situation and con tinue to let the politicians ride slip shod over our democracy, the quicker we will slide into physical confrontations on our streets. Sooner or later yet another Enoch Powel prophecy will manifest and it will all be far too late. In closing I hasten to add that this piece was very closely akin to a column I wrote nearly twenty years ago. At the time it was laughed at and simply dismissed as a ‘Leapy rant’. Well no one in their right mind is laughing now. Or are they!? I await the slings and arrows with breath ing bated. Keep the faith Love Leapy. Leapylee2002@gmail.com

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) You like to do your own things in your own way and in your own time. That certainly shows this week. It can cause a bit of a stir with family. Even so, it will inspire someone close to step forward and make their own stand. Put someone straight when they step out of line.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) The kind nature that is so much a part of you is only too evident this week. A situation makes you feel frustrated and you need to find a way forward. A bit of expert advice goes a long way even if it does mean that you still have to go it alone. Be strong and remind yourself that this is for someone else.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) As you prefer living in the here and now, you find it difficult to understand and tolerate people who plot and plan in advance. It is tedious in the extreme to consider every little detail of something which may never happen. Because there is this relaxed attitude, you have developed a larger-thanlife personality.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) This time of year reminds you just how much you enjoy home comforts. Plan ahead now for those chilly winter nights when the air is crisp and the wine is mulled. The urge is to work with others this week and that in itself throws up plans for evenings ahead. Having planned a romantic weekend there may need to be some adjustments.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Your mind, as ever, is changeable. This is a fun time to dabble at this and that to bring a bit of variety to your life and work. Meeting new people and starting new projects means that it is a busy time at work but the rewards are high.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) This is an emotional week, when it is difficult to keep things to yourself. Get together with others and do a bit of social networking. Talk, and if you cannot bring yourself to confess to a problem, say that it is a friend of yours who has it. Certainly, you need to share this concern to get a balanced picture. Things that are held inside can get blown out of all proportion. Think of something to spice up your love life at the weekend because it is a romantic time.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) There is a highly social week ahead with social gatherings here and there. A trip means that finances start to look brighter. You may find it necessary, if you are to progress, to consider a move to another job or area. Get involved with people who have been in the same situation. This gives you a good guide as to exactly where you want to be. Someone fresh brings a romantic lift to the weekend and you are reminded of how things used to be.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) There is a great impatience this week when someone flatly refuses to see something through to the end. You do not admire sloppiness and your reaction shows this. It may be necessary for you to sort out a situation which has been going on far too long. As you dislike loose ends in any respect, your patience may come to an end.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Energy is high and there is a lot of fun to be had. An invitation sent out brings an old friend to your table. This is not as straightforward as you think it will be. Odd stirrings make you confused. Could it be that going back is the right way to go forward? Remove yourself for a while to consider rather than be torn in two directons at once.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You feel like a fish out of water in a confused and noisy situation. Perhaps you are not making the right kind of friends, so take control of the quality of people who you associate with. Maybe it is relatives that are causing concern. You cannot choose your relatives, but it is possible to see less of them.

This is a great social week. Your puppy-like enthusiasm attracts others and a barrage of good vibes comes your way. Indeed, your relaxed attitude allows someone close to get their own life a bit more into perspective.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) People look to you to guide them through the maze of right and wrong this week. Your talent for bringing humour into the most tense situations is invaluable midweek. Summer is a socialising time for you and it is all steam ahead as you issue invitations and receive some back. .

FEAR OF DEMOCRACY? HI Leapy I live in Spain, expat, I am afraid you fall into the same category as most Brexiteers in as far as you want out for whatever your reasons are, and all the rest of us are wrong, you and all the get out brigade, do not want a second referen dum or peoples’ vote for one reason only, that is that you all think that you would lose. I, as a remain voter, would except a leave ver dict even if it meant NO DEAL exit, because I be lieve in democracy with all the facts laid bare, not the sham of lies from both sides that we were dished up with 2016, we all know a lot more now than we did then, the population is now different as far as a lot more younger vot ers now and a lot of older people passed away, this is more for the future of the young and NOT for the old, so anyone over the age of 75 should not be given the vote, which I am one, but 16 yearolds and upwards should. To link this question in a general election is so wrong to have the issues involved with many others is a con trick as you and I know. I think that a win to stay in would be a bigger percentage now than the leave vote got last time, as I think most people that have any logic would conclude, what are you all fright ened of? In a word, democracy. I agree with 95 per cent of what you write in the EWN. Felt a need to write, love your column. Regards Les Brice Keep the faith HI Leapy, What a fantastic column, I totally agree with everything you said, keep the faith bloody MPs. Regards Keith Moore. Rock the boat DEAR Leapy I’m back on the Costa Blanca for a break with my wife, and always read your piece in the paper. As usual, you are absolutely spot on! Keep up the good work mate and never stop rocking the boat. Gerald and Linda Care and concern DEAR Editor In a complete diversion from politics and tragedy, just wanted to share a scene I wit nessed at the weekend. I live near Elche in Costa Blanca and as I was driving towards Alicante airport I noticed three cars pulled

Thomas Cook turns to government for bail out No, the government would do nothing to help my company, so why should they help Thomas Cook, especially as they have struggled for years as they haven’t changed their business model to keep up with the times. Also travel companies should be made to pay into a fund to provide assurance for travellers should this happen. Why should it cost the British taxpayer to get travellers back home if a pri vate company goes under, it’s their responsibility not the taxpayer. Neil Holmes Absolutely not, why leave it for so long, they ob viously knew they were in trouble. I bet those that knew end up with all their money, what about all the poor staff. It’s a shame if you’ve booked a holiday with them but you will get the money back, I wonder how many staff will be out

LAST WEEK’S POLL: Can we as expats/immigrants criticise Spain’s animal rights issues, for example bull fighting?
• Yes
AFTER 178 years in business Thomas Cook has gone under with debts of £1.7 billion (€1.92 billion). There are around 150,000 customers abroad and 600,000 in total affected, including those with holidays and flights already booked. The fleet of 40 jumbo jets hired to bring people home from overseas is said to be costing £150 million (€169.8 million). Total cost of compensating people for their lost holidays and for the emergency repatriation of stranded customers could reach as high as £600 million (€679 million). The reasons for the collapse of the world’s most famous tour company - and one that has been closely associated with Spain since the start of package tours to the nation in the 1960s - boil down to a disastrous merger with My Travel in 2007. It left the company saddled with enormous debts. The full price became evident in May when a £1.5 billion loss (€1.7 billion) - including a £1 billion (€1.13 billion) write-off from the merger - was announced. But could it have been different? A £900 million (€1.02 billion) rescue package was in place when the banks - led by taxpayer-owned RBS - demanded another £200 million (€226 million) in funding. It is somewhat ironic that a bank that received billions in bail-out funds from the taxpayer was not prepared to be a little more flexible for a giant company that employed 9,000 people in the UK alone.
THE FUTURE: Should it be in the hands of young voters? up in a layby. I could see a male and female in their late teens looking agitated so stopped my car to see if they needed help. They immediately appeared relieved and ushered me over to where an elderly Spanish man had fallen into a roadside ditch. His two dogs were frantic and had attracted the atten tion of the convoy of youngsters who were dri ving past on their way out for the evening. The elderly man was not injured but was in shock.

Council on October 17/18, it’s normal procedure to have proposals two weeks ahead so nations can haggle at diplomatic/official level. This means a deal effectively needs to be in paper proposal form by the beginning of October, so it’s not an ultimatum, both sides are aware of the timescale, so its brava do, on the EU’s part.

Flu jab alternative A STICK-ON patch could spell the end of the flu jab. Scientists have created a patch which could protect against flu as ef fectively as the traditional vaccine, new research compiled by Universi ty of Rochester suggests. The search for an alternative to flu jabs has been ongoing for decades amid concerns the method can cause patient anxiety, has to be ad ministered by a medical professional and creates biohazard waste. Researchers now believe they have made a breakthrough after testing the patch on mice. The new patch around the size of a standard plaster contains syn thetic proteins that make the skin
more “permeable”, as effectively as a flu vaccine. Trials on mice showed the patch “initiated a robust immune re sponse”. And the rodents showed no increased risk of infection over the next three months, suggesting the patch did not permanently af fect their skin barrier. The team stress, however, more animal studies need to be carried out, with the patch hopefully being tested in human trials “in the fu ture”. “Scientists have been studying needlefree vaccine approaches for nearly two decades, but none of the technologies have lived up to the hype,” study author Dr Benjamin
Miller said. “Our patch over comes a lot of the chal lenges faced by mi croneedle patches for vaccine delivery, the main method that's been tested over the years. “And our efficacy and lack of toxicity make me excited about the prospect of a product that could have huge implications for global health.” Flu jabs are effective but can come with a host of problems, in cluding pain and some people hav ing a fear of needles. Microneedle patches have been suggested as an alternative, howev

Busy is healthy
SURPRISING: Eating two breakfasts does not result in extra weight gain.
Double up at breakfast to prevent snacking FORGET skipping breakfast and double up instead to help you lose weight. The news may be surprising, but according to a study by researchers at Yale and the University of Connecticut, eating two breakfasts is actually good for you if you eat something small to kick start your metabolism and then something slightly larger a bit later. Nutritionists also agree with the double break fast concept believing that for many people who struggle to eat when they get up it is the ideal way to ensure a decent breakfast is had if some thing light like a small yoghurt, smoothie or pro
tein shake can be had first. They say larger, healthier breakfasts such as omelettes and por ridge had a few hours later can prevent snacking before lunchtime but ensure the necessary nutri tion is had. The American study was conducted on 600 school children over the course of two years and found the children who ate two breakfasts expe rienced a weight gain no different to the kids who ate just one. The children who rarely ate breakfast, on the other hand, were twice as likely to be overweight as the children who ate two meals in the morning.
FEEL like you’re juggling too much and got too much to do? Well rather than feeling stressed, it could actually be good for you. Scientists say their re search shows that the busier people are, the sharper their minds and the better their memories. Scientists at the University of Texas, Dallas, said that packing more into the day in creases the opportunity to learn new things, stimulating and challenging the brain making it ultimately healthier. They carried out a study on 330 healthy men and women in their 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. They were asked about their daily schedules and then had to carry out a num ber of mental tests. The results showed that those who had busier days were able to process infor mation more quickly and had a superior memory, irrespec tive of their age and previous education.

E-trade plagued by scams MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I DON’T like Facebook. I may have mentioned it 100 times before, but I use it because certain information I need is only posted there. Something I have used it for is to sell a mo bility scooter that I purchased and no longer want. It works perfectly well by the way if anybody wants it. Anyway, I put it on Face book at least €200 cheaper than any other; and nothing. All I got was people asking ques tions, me answering them and then nothing. Then I tried to sell it to the people that were obviously professional retailers – but nobody was interested. I had the same problem with eBay. I have friends in the UK who actually get a living sell ing stuff on there, and I’m talking about sec ondhand clothes, bags, baby stuff etc. I, on the other hand, was told that it was very hard to sell anything on Spanish eBay because all the punters thought everything was a scam. When I did try and sell something, I got the reverse.
I had a couple of decent watches I wanted to get rid of. They had boxes and papers and were brand new; never been worn. Well as soon as I put them on, the scammers started. I had one person tell me that the money would be sent as soon as they received the watch and, as it was a gift, could I send it to somewhere in Nigeria. He gave me his UK ad dress to be safe which I googled and found never existed. I had another who wanted to send me a cheque because he didn’t have PayPal. The cheque would be for £500 more than the watch and could I send him the difference by Western Union. Generously, I could keep £100 of it for helping him. Of course, what these people do is send you worth less payments hoping you will send the product which, of course, I didn’t but I have to say these scammers are a persis tent bunch. I know someone that sold an item and the buyer then demanded payment for a good review and, if they didn’t pay, they would start making sure they got bad reviews. This, of course, was just another trick to try and get money for nothing. After refusing, the item was returned as ‘not as advertised’. Shame these people don’t spend as much time setting up legit businesses!

GOOD morning, class. No talking at the back, please. I’d like to begin with a moan. In the UK, one in four children starts school overweight and one in 10 is obese: by the end of primary school, this per centage doubles to one in five. Who’s to blame? Or, is it a combination of factors? Schools have an important role but families and the food industry (cutting sugar and calories in food before it hits our shelves and plates) are all involved. As for schools, programmes encourag ing children to take more exercise and eat healthily don’t improve childhood obesity or activity levels according to a British Medical Journal study that assessed 600+ primary school pupils in the West Mid lands in a 12month antiobesity pro gramme last year. So, is it the fault of parents and today’s lifestyle that no exercise takes place? And if parents are to blame, what’s caused this? Fluoride in the water? Benefit de

Can't let them out of the house, for in stance, for fear a stranger might look at them or, even worse, try to talk to them. Instead park them in front of the TV every night. And then there’s litigation. Contact sports in the playground banned in case little Johnny slips and the school’s sued. Or is it the fault of teachers? Teachers who believe there should be no winner in the egg and spoon race. Can't play conkers, might bruise your knuckles. Can't have a competitive race, the loser might be upset and suffer lifelong trauma. Finally, while exercise is clearly impor tant, it’s more important children can
read, write, spell, add and subtract. It isn't crucial they know how to run, jump and throw a ball once they leave school. It is crucial they’ll be employable in a world vastly different from the one we grew up in. What we don’t want is a generation of young people not only physically inca pable but socially inept AND totally unpre pared for the realities of life in the Brave New World of Brexit Britain.

BREATHTAKING: The Santa Maria del Naranco church situated just outside Oviedo.
Northern soul TUCKED away in one of Spain’s most unexplored corners is Oviedo, the bourgeois capital of Asturias. This bustling metropolis has always been relatively wealthy, so often stands in sharp contrast to the rest of the region. Perched between the Cantabrian Mountains and the Bay of Biscay, Oviedo is a town that has managed to perfectly balance the best elements of its past and present. Take a quick stroll around the town centre and you’re met with quaint medieval buildings in
the old town, elegantly offset by vibrant shopping quarters and preened parks in the more modern quarters. Oviedo is also home to three churches that could easily be ranked among the best in Spain. All were built around the first half of the ninth century, when the region of Asturias was almost desolate. The stunning Cathedral of San Salvador takes pride of place in the centre, while the churches of San Miguel de Lillo and Santa Maria del Naranco are located on the outskirts.

A SURVIVOR from the Great Qing Dynasty 1636-1911 is an exquisite glass vase which is ‘going under the hammer’ at Sotheby’s in Hong Kong on October 8. The pouch shaped vase was de signed and made in the Winter Palace of Beijing, usually described as the Forbidden City. It is said to have been created to the direct or der and supervision of the Emperor himself. This dimimutive treasure is unique in almost every respect; in terms of shape, design execution and size. The rarity of this enamelled glass treasure is reflected in the difficulty of its production. The vase is a vessel that evokes a bottle, wrapped in a cloth pouch tied with a ribbon withal brilliantly enamelled design of phoenixes soaring amid clouds and peonies. Its production would have re quired the cooperation of several palace workshops as well as the highest level of skill from both the imperial artisans in the glass house
Vase to break records and the imperial painters in the enamelling workshops. Nicholas Chow, chairman of Sotheby’s Asia , said: “This season we are particularly honoured to have been entrusted with arguably one of the finest objects ever made in the Forbidden City and one of the greatest examples of Qing dynasty held in private hands. Ravishingly beautiful and superbly achieved, the importance of the Qianlong enamelled glass vase, for the history both of Chinese glass and enamelling, cannot be overstated. This is the finest, largest and most complex piece of imperial glass to survive.” The bottle or vase, and its com panion piece of the same scheme yet of a different designs, though complimentary were not necessarily meant as a pair. These vases may be the only large pieces of their kind in existence and the only ones of such a complex shape.

The larger the size the greater the difficulty, the bulk of surviving Qing enamelled glassware are snuff bottles and far smaller than this vase. An impeccable provenance; according to an imperial order listing of 1738 this vase was created during the early years of the Qianlong Em peror’s reign. Just two pieces resulted from this order; the present bottle and a com panion piece of the same form and colour scheme, though to a different design and now in the Hong Kong Museum of Art. Created for the Qianlong Emper or, the bottle and its companion piece remained in the Imperial Household until the end of the Qing Dynasty before entering the collec tion of Prince Gong, later passing in to the hands of AW Bahr and then Paul and Helen Bernat before being acquired by the current owner in 2000 for US$2.1 million, becoming part of the Le Cong Tang Collection.

The world record for removing and replacing a car engine is 42 seconds.
Dependable hybrid and electric models BRITAIN’S most and least reliable new and used cars have been revealed, with hybrid models among the most dependable and Land Rover and Renault owners found to have the least reliable cars. The 2019 Reliability Survey from Britain’s consumer champion and new car buying platform, What Car?, con ducted in association with MotorEasy, used reader feedback from more than 18,000 drivers to find the most depend able cars up to five years old.
Hybrid cars from Japanese brands topped the reliability charts, with the Lexus CT (2011 present) and Toyota Yaris Hybrid (2011 present) receiving a 100 per cent reliability rating from own ers, indicating they suffered no faults over the previous 12 months. The only other car to match this achievement was the Kia Soul (2014 2019). Although electric vehicles and hybrids have the best average reliability rating (96.1 per cent) of the 10 car classes in the survey, not all cars with this technology are dependable. The Renault Zoe (2013
present) scored a lowly 82.3 per cent, with 44 per cent of owners saying their car had suffered a fault. The worst vehicle class for reliability was Luxury SUVs at 86.5 per cent, with the Range Rover (2013 present) and Range Rover Velar (2017 present) proving the least bulletproof. Almost half of Velar owners (48 per cent) said their car experienced a fault in the past 12 months, while 35 per cent of Range Rover owners had needed to visit a garage, with battery issues most com mon.
TOYOTA YARIS HYBRID: Received a 100 per cent reliability rating from owners. At brand level, Lexus vehi cles were found to be most reliable, with a 99.3 per cent reliability rating, fol lowed by Toyota and Suzuki. Japanese and South Korean brands dominated the top 10 brand reliability rankings, oc cupying seven of the places. The worst brand for reliability was Land Rover, with an 81.3 per cent rating, just below Renault and Jeep. What Car?’s Reliability Survey asked owners whether their car had gone wrong in the past 12 months, how long repairs took and how much they had to
pay to get their vehicle back on the road. Of the 18,119 cars included in the study, 26 per cent had experienced at least one fault, with the most common problem a nonelectrical engine fault. Diesel drivers were more likely to have visited a garage than owners of other types of car, with diesels accounting for 58 per cent of all faults. When it came to paying for repairs, 11 per cent of owners had to fork out between £101 and £200, while 3 per cent of repairs ex ceeded £1,500.
SEAT’S biofuel scheme SEAT is going to participate until 2023 in the Life Landfill Biofuel project, which was recently approved by the European Commission, whose goal is to obtain renewable gas from municipal landfills. The aim is to achieve more efficient manage ment by obtaining biomethane from an indige nous, abundant energy source. The project will be developed with other part ners for the next four years and has an overall budget of €4.6, of which the European Commis sion will fund 55 per cent. Andrew Shepherd, who is responsible for SEAT’s renewable gas projects, emphasised that “this project will enable us to make headway in the development and research into biomethane as a fuel. Our ultimate aim is to guarantee zero environmental impact for CO2 emissions in the entire life cycle of vehicles.” With the goal of boosting the circular econo my, energy efficiency and emissions reduction, SEAT is currently working on the Life Methamor phosis project to obtain biomethane from previ ously selected waste and animal slurry from a farm in Lleida. The new Life Landfill Biofuel pro ject is a step further as the raw material origi nates directly from the landfill, without prior sep aration. The European Union is going to limit to 10 per cent the amount of municipal waste that can be dumped in landfills by 2035. For this reason, con verting waste into vehicular biofuel is one solu tion to this environmental challenge. Other or
DRIVE GREEN: Seat is looking into the development and research into biomethane as a fuel. ganisations also participating in this new project include FCC, IVECO, The University of Granada, the CARTIF Foundation, SYSADVANCE and Gas nam. SEAT has also developed a similar project with Aqualia to convert waste water into biofuel. There are close to half a million landfill sites in Europe, so the development and research into the operating procedures to obtain biomethane from waste represents a business opportunity to convert waste into a source of energy, which at the same time would contribute to lowering en vironmental emissions. In this sense, there is great potential in estab lishing certificates of origin for the production of biomethane. This system would facilitate the de velopment of the industry in Spain, as it is being done in other European Union countries, and be ing able to transfer these certificates among sec tors would open up several opportunities to the transport industry.

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher SUBARU’S Outback model is a robust crossover estate which offers the refinement of a road car with the extra assurance and grip of an all-wheel drive. Revised and enhanced last year, the Outback has a more purposeful frontal design, and significant equipment and technology upgrades. There are two models in the line-up, both using a proven 2.5 litre petrol engine, which is installed lower down and further back than a conventional engine. This results in a lower centre of gravity and moves beneath the passenger compartment in the event of a collision, providing added safety for occupants. Prices start at €33,771 (£29,995) for the

Subaru Outback Premium well-kitted SE, with the higherspec SE Premium Lineartronic from €37,166 (£33,010). It was the latter model I tested, with its 173 hp engine mated to CVT automatic transmission with paddleshifters if you want to make the gear changes yourself. With top speed of 198 kph (123 mph) and 0-100 kph time of 10.2 seconds, this version offers av-
erage fuel economy of 13.7 kpl (38.7 mpg) and emissions of 166 g/km. For a large car, the Outback is surprisingly nimble with nicely-weighted steering for easier parking and poised cornering. The engine is smooth, quiet and responsive and overall, the driving dynamics
really impress. The cabin upgrade delivers a classy look, with gloss black and silver detailing and standard leather seats. Five adults can be comfortably seated and the generous boot-space of 559 litres can be boosted to a massive 1,848 litres with the rear seats folded. The load floor is flat and has no obstruc-
tive lip, so loading is very easy. Standard features are extensive and include auto lights and wipers, sunroof, rear spoiler, roof rails, powered and heated front seats, powered tailgate, adaptive cruise control, dual-zone air-conditioning, multi-function touchscreen with digital radio, satnav, connectivity features, and hill-descent control. Safety features have been enhanced and include pre-collision braking, lane keep assist, steeringresponsive LED headlights, rear, side and front cameras, and rear cross-traffic alert. The Outback is a big sell-
er in America, though is perhaps a little under-rated in some European markets. Yet it is a very strong contender in a niche market sector which includes the Volvo V90 Cross Country and the Audi A6 Allroad which are both significantly more expensive. This latest restyled Outback has plenty of potent visual charisma and is exceptionally well-equipped for the money. With Subaru's noted reputation for dependability and backed by a five-year warranty, the Outback should attract wider attention and significantly increase its sales.

WATFORD were totally destroyed in an incredible opening 18 minutes during which the champions scored five times. Breathless, irresistible, scarcely believable… City ripped Watford to shreds with the sort of blistering start that may not be witnessed again by the Pre mier League for a very long time. If the champions were still angry at last weekend’s defeat to Norwich, it was Watford who paid a heavy price. With 18 minutes of this game gone, City had scored five times. Five times. It was mesmerising football that the shortsleeved capacity crowd lapped up in the early autumn sunshine. Where to begin? Silva started the rout as he arrived at the optimal moment to turn in Kevin De Bruyne’s su perb low cross with just 52 sec onds on the clock. And the celebrations had barely died down as Watford came within a whisker of equal ising through Gerard Deulofeu’s clever run and low shot that was palmed around the post by Emerson. City soon doubled their lead,

Watford wipe out though, with De Bruyne racing forward before feeding Mahrez who was brought down by Ben Foster – a clear penalty. Aguero stepped up to stroke home his eighth of the season and his 100th Etihad goal – a feat only achieved by two other players in the Premier League era. The third, on 12 minutes, was all about Mahrez who danced past a number of chal lenges before being felled on the edge of the box – he took the resulting freekick which deflected in off Tom Cleverley. And the goals kept coming. With Watford’s porous de fence looking like they might concede with every attack, De Bruyne whipped in a corner
that was nodded across goal by Otamendia and headed home by Bernardo on 15 minutes. Three minutes later, Ota mendi slid home Aguero’s low cross to make it five. It was ruthless attacking football by the rampant Blues, and it was quite a way to mark the Club’s 125th anniversary celebration. There were further opportu nities, but for the final 27 min utes or so, Watford rode their luck and the Blues eased off the gas a little. But the ceasefire ended just three minutes after the restart as persistence by David Silva and Bernardo eventually ended with an opportunity for the Portuguese playmaker who neatly gathered the ball before
slotting it past Foster for his second of the afternoon. The popular former Monaco man completed his treble on the hourmark, after a sublime Mahrez pass found De Bruyne who claimed yet another assist as his low cross was poked home by Bernardo. Angelino, who replaced Mendy at the break, made some excellent raids down the right and his pinpoint cross al most resulted in number eight as Mahrez thumped the cross bar with a header. Eric Garcia and Joao Cancelo also came on for brief cameos before De Bruyne ensured the Blues had their biggest Premier League win with a thunderous drive on 85 minutes. It was no more than KDB de

Pit stop strategy
LECLERC told Ferrari their tactics were “not fair” as he lost victor y in the Singapore Grand Prix to his team mate. Leclerc led the opening stages of the race ahead of Brit Hamilton and German Se bastian Vettel. However, Vettel moved into the lead of the race after Fer rari pitted him on the lap be fore Leclerc. The pair remained in the same order until the end of the race. But Leclerc repeated ly complained the pit stop strategy has spoiled his chances of winning. Vettel’s early pit stop al lowed him to benefit from fresher tyres sooner than Leclerc. That pace advantage meant Leclerc came out of the pits behind him when he made his subsequent pit stop.
VETTEL: First win for over a year.
One of a series of Safety Car restarts in the second half of the race, Leclerc was told to make a settings change on his power unit. He replied: “I want everything. Even engine mode.”
Ferrari ad vised him: “We need to bring the car home. We need to manage the PU [power unit] and bring the car home.” “I won’t do anything stu pid,” Leclerc replied, “it’s not
my goal. I want us to finish onetwo. I just think it’s not fair. But this won’t change, I won’t be stupid, don’t worry.” Leclerc followed Vettel home, scoring the team’s first
onetwo finish of 2019. Vet tel’s win was his first for over a year. Euro Weekly News spoke to Paul Mohamed in the pit lane for his views, he said: “Ferrari
dominated with their new nose designs creating extra performance which caught other teams out especially Mercedes, team orders also played to the advantage of Hamilton as Merc told Bottas to not over take and hold posi tion, whilst Bottas, to the me dia, has expressed it wasn’t an issue, it clearly was as he slammed the motor home door behind him having walked away from the me dia."” It was not the most excit ing of races overall but what was fascinating was how Ferrari, who all week claimed they would be off the pace, clearly were what is known in the motor racing industry ‘sand bagging’ their opposition rivals, fitted new equipment and deliv ered a fine team victory by cre ating extra performance.
