MIJAS resident, Anne Her nandez has received confirmation that Brexpats in Spain will personally hand in a petition to Number 10 Downing Street on October 19 to help voice the concerns of expats across the region.

Treasurer Glyn Emerton, along with trust member Lisa Burgess and Brexpat admin Louise Franks will travel to Westminster on Saturday to personally hand over the petition in order to try and get concrete answers from the UK government.

The petition has currently reached a total of 1,382 signatures, far surpassing the initial aim of 200 and is increasing by the day.

“Do 346,000 British residents in Spain really count for so little?” exclaimed Hernandez.

“If we had moved from Luton to Liverpool would we still lose our rights? How sad that Spain, our host country, cares more for us than our own country,” she continued.

NEWS EXTRA Drugs arrest TWO men in Malaga were amongst 26 arrested as 150 police took part in a major operation against drugs gangs in nine Spanish provinces on Tuesday, with drugs, cash and vehicles seized.

Hotels bid HOTELS on the Costa del Sol are hoping to take advantage of social and political unrest to entice business conferences away from Barcelona, with the sector’s Aehcos association putting themselves forward as an alternative.

Rock legend LENNY KRAVITZ returns to the Costa del Sol five years after his last appearance.

He is bringing one leg of his ‘Here to Love’ tour to Marenostrum Fuengirola on July 23, 2020 and tickets are available from Ticketea and Click Taquilla.

Ancient sites plundered A MAN from Marbella is one of three arrests made in an investigation against the plundering of archaeological sites.

National Police specialists launched an investigation after being tipped off about massive plundering at one of the most important battlefields in Jaen the site of the Battle of Navas de Tolosa, which took place in 1212.

The same sources pointed out that the Iberian site known as the Cueva de los Muñecos was also being plundered.

SEIZED: Police recovered numerous articles (inset) many plundered from Navas de Tolosa (above).

Two men in Santa Elena (Jaén) were arrested accused of plundering more than 2,000 archaeological pieces and selling them to the Marbella detainee, who intended to ship them to a castle he owns in France.

As well as the archaeological pieces, an MG42 machine gun, two mortars and an 18th century image of the Virgin were seized.

Elderly suspect A PENSIONER, aged 76, has been arrested after police launched an operation into a large amount of thefts from flats in Malaga.

The police became aware of the illegal activities after several complaints were received over the last few weeks, and started an operation coded ‘operation Visillo.’

As the undercover operation took place, a 76-year-old woman was allegedly caught red-handed stealing from a rented apartment.

Using the information they had collected as well as security CCTV footage, they arrested the elderly lady.

According to sources, the police had thought they were looking for a gang of thieves and were surprised to discover the suspect was actually an old woman.

Virtual stalker complaints A PAEDOPHILE posed as a boy to coerce girls to post sexual social media images in Malaga.

National Police have charged a 46-year-old Spanish man with corruption of minors.

According to the investigations, the man created several false profiles in different social media networks in which he was posing as a 17-year-old boy to contact girls.

He then built up friendships with the girls aged between 11 and 13 years of age and having gained their trust began to demand photos and videos of sexual content.

A complaint was made in relation to one victim in Madrid and the investigation led police to Malaga.

Investigators found the man had contacted at least seven children.

Police found two hard drives, three telephone

terminals and five pen drives used to collect the images.

The National Police has now issued a reminder of the dangers of social networks and the importance of educating children and adolescents in safe guidelines to surf the Web and avoid being victims of grooming and other crimes.

Police advise: Never provide or share private or compromising images through social networks; Distrust strangers - in the virtual world, not ever yone is who they say they are; Keep computers updated and protected to prevent file theft; Never give in to the blackmail of the stalker and request the help of an adult or the police in case of being a victim of harassment or intimidation on the Internet.

OCTOBER 31 - BE-UNITED YOUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU!

THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN FOR THE MOST SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN PARTY EVER! WE have all made the Costa del Sol our home and this is a fantastic opportunity to give something back to the community. At the same time we can demonstrate together, amidst the chaos of Brexit, how we can all achieve INCREDIBLE things together.

As such, with your support, Euroweekly News came up with the concept of organising a FREE Halloween party to raise €8,280 for the orphans of ‘Ciudad de los Niños’ in Malaga which will be held at the Feria ground in Fuengirola where there is ample free parking for everyone.

This concept has now been rolled out and everybody throughout all aspects of the community, from business owners, readers, social media gurus including the local press, radio stations and TV have all jumped on board. If you are in the media and have not yet got involved, please feel free to contact us immediately where we all work together to support the vulnerable and needy amongst us.

The Spectrum team were the first to get involved with a generous donation, followed by Central FM who have come on board to help promote the event and will be covering it live on the night.

We are now pleading for all other press and media of all nationalities, business owners no matter the size, to come and join us and donate whatever they can, as every euro raised will help to change the lives of these 46 orphans.

Did you know that the orphanage gets a clothes allowance of €40 per child to last three months? Can you imagine trying to clothe your child or grandchild on that amount? We can’t.

So, with your help, we want to raise at least €8,280 to give each child a clothes voucher for €100 for the three months so that they can have a special Christmas outfit, a set of fluffy pyjamas or a new pair of slippers.

Aside from the clothes voucher, we are aiming to also make a personalised toiletry bag for each child, full of little luxuries that we take for granted like a special bubble bath, pretty hair slides for the girls, cologne, mouth wash etc. Each bag

will cost €30.

A Christmas goodie basket with treats like a selection box, some crayons, a toy, each basket worth €50 each.

With the fabulous support of local businesses of all nationalities, October 31 promises to be a truly ghostravaganza day to remember.

The venue is Caseta CEPYME, this is located in the large Feria ground in Fuengirola, and be totally transformed with witches, spiders, ghouls, cobwebs, tombstones and more.

There will be a full bar and we will be catering for everybody, offering traditional foods like pie and peas, beef bourguignon, chilli con carne, vegetable curry, jacket potatoes, pumpkin soup, Paella, Puchero, burgers and ribs, to name just a few!

Of course, there will also be the old favourites of jellies, cupcakes, tiramisu, vegan sweets chocolates and treaties, too.

Various entertainers on the coast have given up their time free of charge, despite this traditionally being one of their busiest nights.

These include Masquerade Duo, Frankie Valentine, Ronnie Howells and Danny Efford.

Various associations along the coast have got right behind the

event and will be assisting with the decorating of the venue, providing children’s entertainers, organised ponies, supercars, games including ducking for apples, children’s tattooist and they are all rallying around with passion and enthusiasm. We had no idea just how many wonder ful women there are out there.

There will be special guest appearances from Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol, together with raffles, auctions and prizes for the best girls’, boys’ and adults’ outfit. Magic Mirror Costa Blanca are also travelling

down from Alicante, free of charge, bringing along their novel and fun selfie camera equipment especially decorated for your spooky photos!

EWN CEO, Michel Euesden, said: “This is the coast that just keeps on giving and giving, and this time the orphans themselves, who will be there on the night with their carers, will see how much love there is in the world, because you dear reader are going to show it to them!

“The children are going to learn all about hope and faith and trust again - for many reasons these children have no one in the world who cares about them other than this

community - ‘Comunidad de Corazones.’

“Not only will we raise the €8,280, but also a lifetime of memories which you can help create together on October 31.”

She added: “We will be united on a night that will make unprecedented history - Britain may be the first countr y to leave Europe, however, you our valued reader, will be too busy enjoying yourself, having a ‘spoogie’ with the witches, wizards and warlocks, making new friends who care - you are safe and secure in the community that you love and can be proud of.

“So, whatever your political leanings, whatever your concerns, come out on October 31 and have the time of your life. This is why we came to Spain to be part of this special eclectic community - whatever your age group, whatever your nationality, this is your community. Let’s rock it together.”

New addition BIOPARC Fuengirola is to get a new addition in the form of a young female coastal gorilla.

She will complete a reproductive group as part of the zoo’s breeding programme for the critically endangered species.

Called Wefa, she is coming from French zoo La Vellee des Signes, and will join Buu and Echo in the spacious enclosure they enjoy. Until recently Bioparc’s role in the European Endangered Species Programme was to provide a home for non-breeding coastal gorillas in their last stages of life.

But the arrival of Echo and Buu last year meant Bioparc Fuengirola became one of five Spanish zoos to host breeding programmes.

It is hoped Wefa will be the final piece in the jigsaw to achieving their goal.

A keeper will now travel to France to begin the delicate process of socialising Wefa before her eventual transfer to Spain.

Drugs bust police on trial

by Dilip Kuner TWO Marbella policemen face six years and nine months in jail and an €8.16 million fine for their part in a drug smuggling operation.

The public prosecutor is calling for the punishment after a court heard they were working hand in hand with smugglers who used jet-skis to land hashish along the coastline of Malaga Province. He is asking for 12 other defendants to be given the same sentence.

A Marbella court has been told that National Police and Customs Surveillance intercepted almost 500 kilos of drugs valued at €2.7 million.

The alleged offences date back to June 2012.

In phase one of a National Police operation, six jet skis were seen to leave Guadalmina Baja and the port of Marbella. They rendezvoused with a mother ship that supplied them with several bundles of hashish.

To avoid being detected by police, the jetskis split up into two groups of three to land at two different points on the coast of Marbella.

One group landed on Guadalmansa beach and unloaded two of the jet-skis. The crews fled when they spotted a Customs helicopter.

The third jet-ski, still loaded with drugs, was abandoned.

JET SKIS: Policemen worked with smugglers.

The investigation revealed that the two Local Police officers warned the rest of the gang of the presence of other police in the area chosen for the landing of drugs. One of them patrolled the coast by jet-ski and reported back to the smugglers.

A week later, a second phase of the operation followed four jet-skis, with one of the accused officers seen to be monitoring Guardia Civil patrol boats moored in Benalmadena.

Two of the defendants landed on a beach near the Hotel Kempinski in Estepona, where

one of the jet-skis was towed to a house in Las Alberdinas used as a drugs warehouse.

Police moved in and recovered drugs cash and the jet-skis.

Hospital staff boost A RECRUITMEN T drive has been launched to tackle staff shortages in life-saving children’s hospital services.

Ten cancer and kidney specialists are being brought in to fill gaps in services at Malaga’s Paediatric and Maternity Hospital.

Parents, union leaders and health professionals have been calling for more staff to meet the needs of women and children in the hospital’s oncology and nephrology departments.

The Andalucian Health Service has now announced it will recruit five oncology nurses, three technicians and a paediatric oncologist. Hospital bosses also reported that a child’s nephrologist has been brought in.

Officials say this will bring the department up to 100 per cent, but unions complain that at least one of the doctors’ contracts is short-term.

The infant kidney treatment department has had only one specialist after one member of staff had to give up work during pregnancy and was not replaced.

This resulted in 300 appointments being postponed with only urgent cases being prioritised during the staff shortage.

The Medical Union has criticised the health authorities which they argue have over-stretched the faculty with too little capacity to cover illness, holidays, and reductions in working hours.

A FORMER junior football team coach is on trial for the alleged sexual harassment of 25 children and the sexual abuse of one of them.

The trial is entering its final phase today having originally started in January, but has been delayed due to a judge’s illness. The prosecution is asking for the man to be jailed for a total of 100 years and seven months for three crimes of sexual abuse of a minor, 20 of exhibitionism and sexual provocation, 17 of sexual deception to obtain child pornography, two of sexual harassment and 10 of corruption of minors.

El Cobre arrests THREE men have been arrested for transferring 1,000 kilos of hashish from an Estepona beach to Algeciras.

The detainees are charged with crimes against public health, falsification of documents, membership of a criminal organisation and vehicle theft.

Police spotted a drugs shipment being loaded into two vehicles from Guadalmansa beach at dawn.

The alleged smugglers then sped off at high speed, reaching speeds of 170 kilometres per hour as they headed for Algeciras.

Police followed them to the neighbourhood of El Cobre, where officers moved in. One of the men was arrested at that point, while the other managed to escape on foot. Investigators eventually tracked him down to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in North Africa, where he was arrested. Thirty bundles of hashish weighing approximately 1,000 kilos were found in the vehicles, which appeared to have been stolen.

A third person was later arrested in connection with the incident.

He is accused of organising and planning the logistics of the operation. All three have been remanded in custody by an Algeciras court.

Medal for officer A MARBELLA Local Police officer has been awarded the Order of Merit by the Guardia Civil for his arrest of a suspected murderer.

Francisco Jesús Peral Guzman spotted the man - who was suspected of murdering his partner in La Viñuela - driving through Marbella.

After reporting to a senior officer, he followed the suspect before finally arresting him with the help of fellow officers. The detainee is alleged to have stabbed his girlfriend 30 times.

He was presented with his award at Marbella Town Hall.

Coach on child sex trial

One of the victims, who was then 12 years old, suffered alleged abuses beginning in 2012. The coach is said to have touched her and showed her videos of adult pornography scenes while travelling for a game. In the case of the other victims, between the ages of 11 and 16 at the time, the Public Prosecutor’s Office maintains that the accused, taking advantage of the fact that he was their coach, sent text messages of a sexual nature including porn images.

Although they felt ‘uncomfortable’ and ‘pressured’ by this, they agreed not to ‘provoke the anger of the defendant,’ said the prosecution.

€5m fines for illegal labour HOTELS and restaurants employing illegal workers - including those who pose a security risk - have been fined €5m on the Costa del Sol. Almost 1,000 jobs on the black market have been uncovered in the hospitality sector during an inspection in Malaga.

The Labour Inspection of Malaga carried out 1,620 inspections that have led to 976 workers being regularised.

In 22 cases workers were found to be employed without a contract and also claiming unemployment benefit while being paid in cash by employers.

There were also 38 cases of illegal immigrants found working on the coast, which, in some cases, resulted in involving the State Security Forces and Corps.

The hospitality industry continues to be one of the most stricken by the underground economy.

There are 53 labour inspectors in the province who carry out work at night and weekends when offences are most likely.

Unions point to the insecurity of workers and to the misconduct of some entrepreneurs who abuse part-time contracts to make employees work excessive hours or fail to register them for Social Security.

A HERO who defended a woman being beaten in the street has condemned others who turned a blind eye.

The man was crossing the road on Paseo del Parque in Malaga when he saw a woman being repeatedly punched in the head by a man.

The witness, reported only as Manuel F, dialled 091, rushed to the woman’s defence and shouted at the attacker warning him the police had been called.

Manuel, who recorded the attack, was told by the attacker to mind his own business but he refused to back down and the aggressor stopped his assault and tried to run off.

Manuel denies he was a hero, but criticised the inaction of others who did nothing to help.

Manuel said that people “sat in a bus stop to watch the show comfortably” while two women who were about to cross the road “saw how the girl was crying shamelessly and stopped crossing the road to turn around.”

He was outraged by those who didn’t have the gumption to intervene and said their inaction makes them “accomplices and criminals” and urged others witnessing such violence to record the incident and call 091.

Pesky parrots BLACK SMOKE: Was visible all along the Malaga seafront.

Firefighter badly burnt in explosion A FIREFIGHER suffered bad burns in a blaze that broke out near Malaga airport.

An explosion in Sotoparking, a nearby caravan site, caused a spectacular and dense plume of black smoke triggering alarm in the city as it was visible all along the Malaga seafront on Tuesday.

According to local media, the firefighter suffered first and second degree burns to one of

his legs when a vehicle exploded in the intense heat.

He was swiftly attended by fellow firefighters and ambulance crew on site and then transferred to the Clinico Hospital, located nearby.

Forty firefighters from Malaga were sent to tackle the flames and were joined by a further nine deployed by the Infoca Plan forestry firefighters.

CALLS are growing to control the growth of M a l a g a ’s A r g e n t i n e parrot population.

There are already around 5,000 in the province, of which between 3,500 and 3,700 live in Malaga City.

They are a common sight flying along parts of the Costa del Sol too.

Now Antonio Román Muñoz, professor of Biology at the UMA (Malaga University) and an expert on these birds, is demanding that ‘urgent measures’ be taken about what he terms an invasive species.

This year a study has been carried out for the first time inside the nests, using endoscopic cameras in 100 colonies in Malaga and Benalmadena.

“Thanks to that we have one of the explanations of why they are doing so well,” he said. The answer is that each pair lays an average of six eggs, with two clutches a year,

MALAGA: Parrots enjoy the Costa del Sol.

of which more than four survive. It is a very high breeding success.

Now Muñoz wants the city council to change its approach to controlling the population.

Up until now it has concentrated on removing nests where the parrots cause a nuisance.

This, says Muñoz, is counterproductive as it disperses the birds who form

new colonies and spread their range.

In his opinion, the best initial approach would not be to try to eradicate them, but to limit the success of breeding by removing eggs.

He does not trust other proposals, such as the capture of specimens, their sterilisation and release, because in other parts of the world this has not proven effective.

Costa tourism credited HIGH-QUALITY standards have earned five areas official tourism status.

The General Secretariat for Tourism of the Junta de Andalucía, has confirmed that Benalmadena, Fuengirola, N erja, Ronda and Torremolinos have renewed their declaration of Tourist Municipality along with 13 other Andalucian localities.

Towns bidding for special tourism status must prove that it has a quality tourism plan and a consistent offer that is based on heritage, natural, cultural, ethnographic, sporting or recreational resources, and must meet minimal infrastructure to cater to its visitors.

Such status is open to areas where the inhabitants do not exceed 100,000 and the

annual average of overnight stays in hotels and holiday apartments must amount to at least 10 per cent of the residents. This percentage must be reached for at least three months of the year.

Towns bidding for tourism status must renew their application to the Junta every two years.

In addition to the Malaga municipalities, other parts of Andalucia to qualify for the status include Roquetas de Mar (Almería), Chiclana de la Frontera, Chipiona, Conil de la Frontera, Rota and Tarifa (Cádiz), Almuñecar (Granada), Almonte, Aracena and Punta Umbría (Huelva), Baeza and Cazorla (Jaén) and Santiponce (Sevilla).

BREXIT EXTRA

BREXIT BRIEF

A REPORT in the Mail on Sunday says that many Conservative MPs and ministers are up in arms against EU Commissioner Michel Barnier after he made it clear that in his opinion UK government changes to the proposed deal were insufficient.

He doesn’t believe that the Irish backstop alternative is sufficient to gain support from the 27 member states but rather than finalise negotiations last Monday, the EU was prepared to allow talks to continue until the eve of the Thursday summit in the hopes that a compromise could be found.

As time ticked away it also has to be remembered that any new deal has to be translated into all of the languages of each member state and should also be reviewed by legal teams to ensure that the wording is in accordance with the law in each country.

Back fired

Quo Vadis Brexit?

By John Smith TODAY (Thursday, October 17) is crunch day concerning the start of what may be the last of the meetings of EU leaders which includes the UK. Prime Minister Johnson appeared slightly closer to getting a Brexit deal to put before Parliament at the special next Saturday sitting as he has made some concessions on the Northern Ireland ‘back stop’ as well as removing the concept of a veto from Ulster politicians in Stormont, although he wants to keep it as a future possibility.

Unless a deal has been agreed with the EU and then accepted at Westminster, the combined opposition is likely to demand that he apply for a further Brexit

Should he refuse to do so and go ahead with a no-deal departure against the express contents of the ‘Benn Law’ then the whole process of British democracy could be set back on its heels.

The EU negotiators have accepted that there has been a softening of the government position on Northern

Ireland, but it may well be insufficient for them to agree to the latest proposed deal and the fact that the government does not have a majority certainly strengthens the EU hand.

What no-one can predict is what would happen if the EU decided not to allow a further extension and although many consider this is

extremely unlikely, it is one of a number of possible scenarios.

The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn continues to oppose the concept of a General Election at this stage although it now seems more likely that he would acquiesce if and when an additional extension is applied for and agreed.

Young Gibraltarian dives in to the sea to help save one of the world’s largest fish W H E N o ff i c e r s f ro m the Gibraltar Environmental Protection and Research Unit (EPRU) were alerted to news that a large fish was in distress off the coast near Camp B a y, t h e y r u s h e d t o the scene.

They were however beaten to the rescue by 13year-old local boy Alexander Sanchez-Soiza who had seen what was happening and had jumped into the water to help keep what turned out to be an enormous Sun Fish from harming itself on rocks.

It was his quick thinking and selfless determination that ensured that this giant fish (which can grow up to 1,000 kilos) named after the fact that it basks on the surface of the water

was saved from major injury.

These fish are considered delicacies in the Far East, but European Union laws prohibit their sale for food or any other commercial use.

The Minister for the Environment, Professor John

Cortes, invited Alex to the Ministry to thank the young man for what he had done where he revealed that he wanted to become a Marine Biologist and was invited to join the EPRU in a future routine p a t r o l o f G i b r a l t a r ’s w a ters on board Storm Petrel.

BUSINESSES in rural communities are urging the government to make the hiring of undocumented workers easier as depopulated areas are struggling to find proper workforces.

Many municipalities with less than 1,000 inhabitants are struggling to staff the businesses that bring much needed investment into the areas, and therefore rely on migrant workers to fill the places that they can’t fill with native Spanish workers.

The village of San Pedro Manrique in the region of Soria, a province in northern Spain, is one of the most deserted in Europe, and houses just 600 inhabitants.

The village is home to La Hoguera, a thriving chorizo curing factory and the backbone to the village’s income.

La Hoguera, where two million chorizo sausages are cured every year, relies on immigrant workers. Of their 96 workers, 46 per cent of them are foreign.

SAVED: Alex in the water with the enormous Sun Fish.

Need for migrant workers “The lack of workers has never been so staggering,” said the president of Soria’s Chamber of Commerce, Alberto Santamaría.

“I think there is a lack of information,” said his wife Alba Abelleiro, who manages the company’s human resources. “I refuse to believe that with an unemploy-

ment rate of 14 per cent, there are no Spaniards who want to work here.”

Workers have urged the government to rethink the immigration policy to cover workers who have found employment through a work contract.

Business owners are asking that undocumented migrants be given legal status through work contracts, instead of having to wait a total of three years before they can be registered.

Abelleiro from La Hoguera has also criticised the regional employment offices in Spain for their lack of filters when sending candidates to fill roles.

“Most of those who turn up here are not really interested in the position; the filters are failing,” she said.

“There have been cases where we have asked for a cold cuts specialist and were sent a secretary from a cookie factory. Another time, we had 46 candidates but only two actually wanted the job.”

Badly beaten up A BADLY beaten woman who ended up in casualty told police she had been drugged during a violent robbery.

But suspicious at her story they investigated that she had allegedly made up the story to hide that she was the victim of gender violence.

She had been pushed into filing a complaint with Fuengirola police by co-workers, who were alarmed by her injuries and believed her story that she had been given a chemical substance then robbed.

But police thought it odd she would be drugged then beaten as she lay helpless.

On questioning she finally told them her boyfriend had severely beaten her. She had severe bruising to the face, arms, legs and body.

The boyfriend has been arrested and had a restraining order placed on him while he awaits trial.

Ecstasy arrest IT was not a happy feria for one man in Fuengirola when police arrested him for possessing 870 ecstasy pills.

Police detained him when they found 320 ecstasy pills in a backpack the 21year-old was carrying as he walked through the town’s leisure areas.

On the strength of their suspicions that he was a drugs supplier, they obtained a search warrant. They then

seized 550 more pills known as Tesla, which are said to be four times stronger than normal ecstacy.

National Police said he was intending to sell the pills during Fuengirola’s feria.

The man was charged with a crime against public health. The investigation continues, with police not ruling out making new arrests.

National Police attended and identified the deceased as a 39-year-old man. He had severe injuries and the body showed signs of him having been dead for some time.

Police investigated to see if the man had been killed elsewhere then dumped at the roadside.

But forensic tests revealed his injuries were compatible with falling from a

nearby bridge.

Officers were on high alert at the time, as the previous day a police chase had started after three men were thrown from a van between the Cadiz municipality of Sanlucar de Barrameda and Sevilla.

One of the men died and the other two were seriously injured. Police later made several arrests in Sevilla.

Hard line for separatists SPAIN’S supreme court imprisoned Cataluña’s former deputy leader to a lengthy 13 years in prison due to his role in the banned 2017 independence referendum.

Oriol Junqueras, the region’s former vice president, was found guilty by the court of misuse of public funds and sedition, implying he promoted public disorder to subvert the law.

Another eight separatist leaders, out of 12 on trial, were also found guilty of sedition and have been jailed for between nine and 13 years.

Another three accused, former Catalan Cabinet members Santiago Vila, Meritxell Borras and Carles Mundo, were fined heavily for disobedience but not imprisoned.

The sentences all come from when in 2017 the group attempted to break Cataluña away from Spain following an independence referendum deemed illegal by Spain’s supreme court.

Getting ready for Brexit AROUND one million people have received a text message from the Home Office warning them about passport renewals as part of its ‘Get Ready for Brexit’ campaign.

The message alerts people to the preparations they need to make before October 31.

Texts were sent to those who provided a mobile phone number when they last renewed their passports.

Those who did not receive a text in the past two weeks should still check their passport is valid for travel after the start of November.

The rules for passports, driving permits and insurance, EHIC cards, pet travel and more may change after the UK leaves the EU, so the Home Office is urging people to act now.

In the event of a no deal, in a postBrexit world anybody going abroad will require passports less than 10 years old and with at least six months remaining on them.

The process of renewing a passport can take three weeks and costs £75.50 (€86.70) if done online - £85 (€97.60) for a paper application.

Pet passports may no longer be accepted, so four months’ forward planning is advised to arrange an official veterinary certificate for animal travel.

Experts are also advising travellers to check any insurance they have, overseas driving permits, mobile phone charges.

The Association of British Insurers recommends contacting an insurance provider at least four weeks before travel to check if a Green Card is

required to drive in an EU country if the UK leaves without a deal.

He had got into an argument with his victim before stabbing him five times in a Malaga bar.

In 2018 he went on the run from a detention centre where he was on probation pending a final sentence being handed down.

By the time this was done he had fled. Police had great difficulty tracking him down as he was very cautious and was given help from a network of people who helped keep him out of sight.

But investigators finally found him and he is now serving his sentence.

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.

More luxury needed MALAGA is now the seventh biggest provincial capital in terms of hotel beds.

In August the city offered 11,839 beds with an occupancy rate of 80 per cent, being surpassed by Madrid (82,564), Barcelona (82,393), Palma de Mallorca (48,506), Sevilla (22,386), Valencia (18,352) and Granada (14,969), according to official data from the National Statistics Institute.

Hotel growth in Malaga has been spectacular in the last 15 years, thanks to the fact that the city has gone from being a transit area for the Costa del Sol to become a destination in its own right.

In 2008 the city’s hotels catered for 779,847 travellers. A decade later, 1.39 million clients passed through their rooms, 78 per cent more.

The mayor of Malaga, Francisco de la Torre, now says that Malaga needs between 4,000 and 5,000 more hotel beds to meet the exist-

ing demand. He wants these to be in five-star hotels as he says the city is losing out on lucrative conferences and high spending visitors as it only has two five-star establishments.

Validity Of WhatsApp Messages In Court DEAR Collaborators, Since the advent of pop­

ular instant messenger services, it is becoming in­

creasingly frequent to hear ­ in a legal conversa­ tion typically ­ that some­ one has irrefutable evi­ dence in the form of ‘WhatsApps’ to build up a solid court case.

And often, this someone will grab his phone with two fingers and pro­ claim, in a pseudo­cere­ monial manner: ‘IT’S ALL HERE!.’

Life is full of surprises as we know, and the law is no exception.

The above street lawyer would have probably overheard the same non­ sense and, just by conver­ sational repetition ­ as with the infamous 11­ month rental contract ­ thought it had made it all the way to the Spanish Civ­ il Code.

The reality is more com­

plex. For WhatsApps to be admissible evidence in a court of law, the bearer of those messages will have to go through a verification process that’s challenging, to say the least; for the avoidance of doubt, a screenshot will not be ac­ ceptable unless the sender confirms he/she sent it (wishful thinking most of the times).

So, what’s law/case law saying in these cases? The following bullet points of­ fer some interesting infor­ mation: • According to WhatsApp Inc., […] the contents of any delivered message is not kept or retained by WhatsApp ­ the only records of the content of any delivered messages re­ side directly on the sender’s and recipient’s

mobile devices (and which may be deleted at the user’s option). This rules out a business records affi­ davit from the service provider.

• The Spanish Supreme Court, aware of this limitation, established some guidelines in respect to the admissibility of a WhatsApp conversation in a court of law and, with the only exception of a full acknowledgement by both parties of that ‘chat,’ ruled that ‘The possibility of manipulating digital files through which this exchange of ideas materialises is part of the reality of things… it’s per­

fectly possible to create a communication in which a single user writes to him­ self.’

• Case law has therefore established that for these types of messages to be admissible, the claimant will need to submit a tech­ nical expert report ‘con­ firming the true origin of that communication, the identity of the parties and, finally, the integrity of its content.’

• The defendant will in turn need to provide a counter report challenging it and, based on it and all other evidence, pass judgement.

The arrested woman apparently stole medicines which, if administered inappropriately, could cause serious damage to people’s health. The woman worked in several health centres in the community and allegedly took medicines that

were locked away, as reported yesterday by sources of the National Police in a statement.

The investigation began when the police were informed of the disappearance of three vials of opioid drugs (morphine and doline in particular).

AVOIDANCE: Twitter Spain only declared €113,131 in Spain during 2018.

Twitter pays less tax IN a fresh example of tax avoidance in multi billion dollar companies, annual accounts have revealed that the Spanish affiliate of Twitter pays less in corporate tax than it spends on o n e w o r k e r ’s s a l a r y annually.

According to the figures issued to Spain’s Company R e g i s t r y, Tw i t t e r S p a i n p a i d o n l y € 11 3 , 1 3 1 i n company taxes in 2018, and registered an annual profit of just €221,038, 13.9 per cent on the previous year

with revenues of €4.5 million.

The figures the company have revealed are only representative of the income made from the marketing, advertising and businessdevelopment services it provides to the Irish branch of the Twitter.

The company actually made a great amount more in profits but it transferred the majority of its revenue to Ireland where Twitter, along with other multinational companies such as Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Apple, make use

of the 12 per cent business tax rate.

Ireland holds the largest share of the US company’s business in Europe, which allows the Spanish division of the company to transfer the money without ringing alarm bells.

The total tax paid by Tw i t t e r S p a i n i n 2 0 1 8 which was reported at €113,131, is €20,000 less than the average wage of one of its 19 workers which sits at €131,578 before taxes, including social security contributions and other employee costs.

Maritime drugs bust A PLEASURE craft carrying cocaine from Brazil to Spain has been intercepted.

Five people have been arrested for drugs trafficking after being stopped trying to bring more than half a ton of cocaine and other narcotic substances into Spain.

The drugs were stowed in secret compartments on the Dutch-owned vessel registered under the name Imagine.

The operation involved the Guardia Civil, National Police and the Tax Agency, in cooperation with the Netherlands Police, the Estonian Police and the Portuguese Judicial Police.

The investigation began in Barcelona and followed the gang during 2018 through Valencia, Huelva, Granada and Las Pal-

mas de Gran Canaria.

The Netherlands-based gang were tracked for two years while they planned their operation.

In May 2018, the gang set off from the port of Valencia aboard the vessel Imagine and began their journey to Rio de Janeiro and Itajaí in Brazil returning to the Portuguese Azores where they were intercepted at the request of Spain and the Netherlands.

In July 2019 the coordinated international police operation was launched resulting in the arrest so far of five people of Estonian, British and Dutch nationality.

As well as drugs, the police uncovered a firearm with the serial number erased, as well as cash.

Film Tapa Route AT first thought, those who are not Spanish speakers may not be interested in the 18th International Short Film and Alternative Film Festival of Benalmadena (FICCAB) which runs from November 7 to 10.

But that might be a little short sighted as even if you don’t want to enjoy up to 400

quality short films from around Europe, there is an added bonus; the Film Tapa Route.

This is the fourth year when local bars and restaurants will be encouraged to participate in the event by making a special tapa for those coming to the festival and also those who just enjoy a bargain bite and drink.

They dig it ANCIENT: Site is best preserved Phoenician city in the Western world.

PROFESSORS from Ohio and Chicago Universities are interested in joining an archaeological team to exc a v a t e t h e C e r ro d e Vi l l a r Phoenician city in the Guadalhorce delta.

José Suárez, professor of Prehistory at the University of Malaga (UMA) and a specialist in the Phoenician world has said that the American researchers are keen to join a dig led by the UMA. Some of the US academics were in Malaga this week to take part in a meeting about the Phoenician world

in general, and this site in particular.

The Cerro del Villar site, discovered in 1965, is said to be an exceptional opportunity for researchers because it is well preserved for remains from the ninth century BC. Unlike many sites, it was never built over, so some of the most important finds are only 30 centimetres deep.

The aim of the dig is to identify how a Phoenician city was organi s e d i n t h i s p a r t o f t h e M e d i t e rranean, and to see why the site was abandoned and the city moved east.

Some professors speculate that its position on an island in the Guadalhorce delta left it exposed to flooding, and they want to see if there is evidence of a tsunami.

Brexit pop-up

BREXIT: Representatives of the council and British Consulate.

LAST week, the Mijas Department of Foreigners of Mijas, worked with the British Consulate in Malaga to set up a Brexit information pop-up for the day. It was situated outside the La Cala Council offices and gave members of the British community a chance to discuss with a consulate official the lat-

est news on Brexit.

Mijas has one of the highest numbers of British passport holders living within its boundaries in the whole of Malaga Province and welcomed the chance for these residents to meet up as the Foreigners Department is not always in a position to answer questions

about the future.

According to a council statement both its representative and British Consulate officers noted that many of those that they spoke to appeared to be somewhat ‘bewildered’ by the fact that nothing concrete was known so close to the possible date of Brexit.

NATURE: Council representatives and Joaquín Araújo (right).

Respected naturalist ALTHOUGH he is several decades younger, naturalist, author and TV presenter Joaquín Araújo could be considered Spain’s David Attenborough and he will be at the Salon de Actos in Mijas tonight, Thursday October 17 from 7pm.

Entitled the Experience of Nature the talk is part of the Aula Savia de La Térmica cycle which aims to promote the value and importance of the plant world through talk, workshops, courses, and different activities.

Contents will cover the environment, ecology, food and natural health and it is something of a feather in the cap of the council to have this well respected figure find time to visit and talk about his love of nature.

Although plants and farming are his first love, he is also president of the Great Ape Project in Spain and has won several awards for his documentaries.

Admission is free until all places are filled.

Memory aid WITH an ageing population especially with English-speaking residents, the Mijas Council has decided to expand its memory workshop, so in addition to Spanish it will be available in English.

The workshop will be held at the La Cala Retirement Home and to take part, you need to be a resident, who has retired and register your interest at the offices of the Department of Senior Citizens of La Cala, between 9am to 2pm today (Thursday, October 17) or next Tuesday.

Once people have registered, the council

will be able to decide the number involved and therefore plan schedules for the workshops.

So far more than 100 Spanish-speaking residents have taken advantage of the initial offer which is aimed at assisting memory and identifying anyone who may need medical assistance.

As part of this initiative, those involved will be invited to take ‘A walk through the Garden of My Memory,’ which takes place in different outdoor locations and has proven to be helpful.

Judge condemns courts

THERE appears to be considerable discontent with the condition of at least one of the Courts in Marbella which a Judge has described as being “full of cockroaches and rodents.”

In a long letter to the council, Judge Manuel del Castillo del Olmo, head of the Court of First Instance of Marbella has reminded councillors of the long-standing problems with the buildings which have previously been highlighted by other professionals but never before, a judge.

The letter which is entitled ‘Marbella the Dead Justice,’ concludes that the courts ‘are a shame for a city of the prestige and grandeur of Marbella’ and that in his opinion, working in the courts is like being in ‘a third world country.’

In essence his conclusion was that he owed fellow professionals and those attending court a debt of honesty which is why he has sent what is effectively an open letter to the council in the hope that finally some action would be taken to resolve this long term problem.

It seems that enthusiastic council workers regularly use these around certain schools at a time when children are en-

The dry weather and the continued incursion on land in the area is making it increasingly more difficult for the animals to find food, but they are both wild and potentially dangerous to anyone let alone young children.

Unlike the UK, where people tend to stop and check for traffic, Spaniards have been brought up with the concept that the pedestrian has right of way and therefore boldly step where few

Brits would walk with such confidence in drivers.

It hasn’t helped recently that large numbers of these crossings have been left for so long that they are almost unrecognisable as being official crossings and with large numbers of foreign holiday drivers on roads they don’t know, the danger of accident has been increasing dramatically. Special attention is being

paid to areas near to schools where cars often park randomly and children often rush across the roads in order to be collected by their parents.

The bulk of the work will be undertaken at night in order to reduce traffic delays and speed up the job with two separate actions, first pre-marking the area with tape and then actually painting the area.

There is a dispute between employees of NATS UK who supply the air traffic controllers (ATCs) and the UK Ministry of Defence which is responsible for the airstrip.

In essence there is a labour dispute which has meant that controllers have refused to do overtime and without sufficient trained controllers available at the airport it has to be closed.

THE voting arrangements in Gibraltar are rather unusual as each registered voter has 10 votes to cast today (Thursday, October 17) in the General Election.

Traditionally, these votes have been for one party (fielding 10 candidates) but this may change in 2019 for two main reasons.

Firstly, younger voters appear to be less inclined to follow the concept of block voting and with more candidates and parties there may well be a wider split, especially as some of the candidates are well past normal retirement age.

Rent aid for flood victims HALF-A-MILLION EUROS has been set aside to help those left destitute following recent floods.

The regional government has allocated €500,000 to help those made homeless by the recent floods pay their rent.

Subsidies of between €420 and €490 per month were approved at a plenary session last Friday and are intended for residents of the Vega Baja and Vall d’Albaida.

An assessment of the general state of housing was made in the two weeks following the storm, with some properties declared uninhabitable and irreparable.

This situation has forced large numbers of people to leave their homes permanently. Therefore, the Generalitat has allocated half-a-million euros of its own funds, with the aim of enabling them to find ‘dignified’ alternative accommodation.

Only one application for aid per dwelling may be submitted. The documentation must be presented in the post-emergency coordination offices or in local town halls, preferably where the home is located.

At the same time, the regional government has approved aid for another 16 municipalities, with a total of €10 million set aside for urgent work.

A colourful and multicultural day

New cars on the children’s ward

ALFAZ is preparing for the 22nd edition of International Day on October 27.

T h e I n t e r n a t i o n a l D a y, a f i r s t f o r t h e area, was created to celebrate something that Alfaz in fact celebrates 365 days of the year, thanks to its multicultural society.

This year’s edition differs from those of previous years because for the first time it will be held in Plaza Juan Carlos I in front of the Casa de Cultura instead of the Polideportivo municipal sports complex.

Sixty-four local groups and associations of all nationalities are taking part in the event, an increase of 14 on last year.

The day will begin at 10.30am, with the official inauguration at 11am and continuing until 5pm with representatives from the different groups introducing members of the public to their countries’ cuisine, music, dances and folklore.

Martine Mertens, Alfaz’s councillor for Residents of other Nationalities also asked as many of the participants and visitors to the events to come in their national costumes to add still more colour to an already colourful day.

YOUNGSTERS at Marbella’s Costa del Sol hospital now have two electric cars to drive themselves to tests and operations in.

The idea is to help children overcome fear, stress and boredom in a difficult time.

The cars have been donated by the charity Golfriends Puma Volkswagen, with charity organiser Carlos Coronil thinking up the idea.

The Paediatric ward received the cars t h i s w e e k , w i t h t h e d e p a r t m e n t ’s h e a d nurse saying that it is a positive move which will help children settle into what can be a daunting environment.

The cash to buy the cars came from a monthly golf tournament organised by Carlos for the past five years.

As well as helping the hospital, associations and other charities have also benefited.

It may be a little while before the children drive to operations as the nursing staff want to see how other hospitals in Spain organise similar initiatives.

In the meantime, children will be free to enjoy themselves by driving round the ward.

FOR FOODIES: Cuisine will remain a key promotional platform for the city in 2020.

Irresistible Almeria

ALMERIA wants to keep up the momentum of the city’s 2019 national gastronomy capital status.

With a view to seeing the provincial capital widely recognised as a top ‘foodie’ tourist destination, the city council has devised a fresh marketing strategy for next year.

Speaking at the inauguration of the fourth ‘Almeria beyond 2019 Ideas Forum, city mayor Ramon Fernandez-Pacheco unveiled a new slogan for 2020: ‘Almeria Ciudad Gastronomica. Para comersela,’ translating more or less as ‘Almeria Gastronomy City. Irresistible.’

The council leader revealed there will be a new headquarters in the city’s central market for activities promoting cuisine. Also on the agenda is an annual gastronomy congress, which promises to bring together top professionals and the best of national cooking.

Further plans to appeal to the gastro tourism market include creating a sticker to go on all products exported from Almeria, a network of gastro cities and a map of local dishes.

In addition, linking heritage and cuisine and strengthening the connection between health and diet under the slogan ‘Almeria puerta de dieta mediterranea,’ or Almeria gateway to the Mediterranean diet.

Grand Prix

NEW YEAR’S EVE in Holland literally goes with a bang with so many fireworks being let off, but this year some cities are going to ban them. Police chiefs there believe that it will be almost impossible to control revellers.

LOCAL reports suggest that the manage­ ment of Zandvoort racetrack is considering scrapping three other events as a conces­ sion to environmental organisations in or­ der to ensure that next year’s Dutch F1 Grand Prix goes ahead in May.

Poor taste

WHEN you mix men with beer and women in tight costumes, it is often a recipe for sexual harassment.

This year at the Munich Oktoberfest, waitresses have taken to wearing cycling shorts under their dresses and putting on Goth style lipstick.

SOCIAL media in Ghent went mad when a photo of a police vehicle was circulated which bore a sticker on its rear making a rude com­ ment about teen climate activist Greta Thun­ berg. It is believed it was the work of a ‘prankster.’

Paper guzzlers GERMANS get through more paper than any other country in the G20 group according to a recent report. Although the country has greatly increased use of recycled paper it seems that the culprit is the amount of online purchases being made.

Facing charges EIGHT people in the city of Kortrijk may be prosecuted (if identified on CCTV) for ‘guilty negligence’ after they reportedly walked by and didn’t assist a man who lost conscious­ ness and died in the city’s central square.

THE Finnish government has passed a law that with effect from August next year, all care homes for the elderly will be required to employ a minimum of 0.7 staff (who must work directly with residents) for each person in care.

WITH a fleet of submarines which is more than 30 years old, the Norwegian navy entered into an agreement with Germany to produce a new class of submersibles but it now transpires that not only will construction be delayed, but might not even happen.

Best library NO less than 16 public libraries entered the 2019 Public Library of the Year award which is presented to newly built institutions and this year the Helsinki Central Library Oodi was chosen as best new library in the world.

No panic THE Ministry of Finance in Oslo has revealed that in the case of a No Deal Brexit, the Norwegian economy could lose around 3.8 billion Kroner (€380 million) in the first year, but this is a relatively small loss of just 0.1 per cent of projected GDP.

New policy centre

BUSINESS School ESADE is to create the Centre for Economic Policy and Political Economy in Madrid which will propose far­ reaching economic reforms for Spain and facilitate the general consensus necessary to make such reforms happen.

The centre aims to identify what needs to be done to allow for the Spanish economy to flourish and spread wealth widely especially in what could be difficult times following Brex­ it, US tariffs and a potential de­ cline in British tourism.

World’s most sustainable hotel

THE Spanish company Meliá Hotels International has just been named the most sustainable hotel compa­ ny in the world in the annual Cor­ porate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) by the Zurich­based Robe­ coSAM AG Group.

The CSA is an annual evaluation of the sustainability practices of more than 4,700 companies in all sectors, focused on economic, so­ cial and environmental criteria, as well as industry specific standards.

Meliá participated in this evalua­ tion last year, obtaining the third best score in its sector and this year, the Spanish hotel group has

By John Smith set a new record, obtaining the highest score ever recorded of 83 points.

Gabriel Escarrer, Vice President and CEO of the group said “we are a family company with strong values.”

He added “I am very proud of my entire team, because together we have managed to establish a trans­ versal culture of commitment to the great global challenges, to respond to them with a long­term vision, re­ sponsibility and respect towards our environment, driven by the con­ viction that tourism is a powerful

engine of social and economic de­ velopment in the world.”

The results of this evaluation con­ firm the company’s excellent per­ formance, its commitment to social and economic progress and its ma­ jor role in the fight against climate change in the hotel industry.

In some areas it received a per­ fect 100 per cent score, so in theory couldn’t do better in Climate Strate­ gy, Report in Social Matters, CRM, Fiscal Strategy and also beat all competitors in Human Rights, Train­ ing, Supply Chain, Code of Ethics, Risk Management and Health and Safety.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Who maintains terraces?

Are community terraces the whole responsi­ bility of the community? The terraces accord­ ing to the original builder are the responsibility of the community, but several of the houses have a shared terrace and others have their own small terrace area.

I believe the community is only responsible for the tiled roof area, but not the terrace walls. Several of the owners have paid for maintenance of the terrace area out of their own pockets, but other owners claim the community should pay.

T H (Costa Blanca) Communi­ ty terraces are regulated by the YOU AND THE Law of Horizontal LAW IN SPAIN Property which es­ tablishes that private property, such as flats, includes only what is enclosed by the outside wall of the building. Any­ thing outside the walls, such as terraces or garden plots, is community property. However, ‘exclusive use’ is usually as­ signed to the individual owners and Spanish courts have usually ruled that ordinary maintenance is their responsibili­ ty. From your description I gather that your community has semi­detached houses and some partially roofed terraces, which complicates the issue. It would be a good idea to clarify this at the next AGM.

Tarnished jewellery THE Links of London jewellery and luxury gift brand was found­ ed in 1990 and spread across the UK and had stockists in Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Madrid and Tokyo as well as Canada and the USA. In 2006 it was sold to a Greek company, and they have now called in Administrators.

The brand was a favourite with celebrities, but the 28 stand­ alone stores and seven conces­ sions in the UK was simply not generating sufficient cash flow to allow the business to continue as it was.

Thomas Cook reprieve THERE was a piece of good news for those staff made redundant following the collapse of the Thomas Cook holiday empire as an independent travel agent has taken over all of their high street shops.

Hays Travel was formed in 1980 by John Hays and his wife Irene and expanded in the north of England before becoming a major name in high street travel agencies reaching a turnover last year

of £1 billion (€1.1 billion). They have now pur­ chased all 555 Thomas Cook shops for an undis­ closed amount and are looking to re­employ the 2,500 knowledgeable work force who used to man those stores.

The couple believe there is still a strong market for low cost package tours and this acquisition will cement their place as the largest high street travel agent in the UK and generate significant income.

New £20 notes design

By John Smith THE Bank of England has an­ nounced that it will be issuing a new £20 note produced in poly­ mer featuring the artist JMW Turner on February 20 next year.

Always alert to the fact that counterfeiting is a major problem, especially with the £20 denomina­ tion, the Bank said that this new note contains sophisticated secu­ rity features making it the most secure Bank of England banknote yet. For the first time, the note in­ corporates two windows and a

£20 NOTE: New design and material.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner A NEW piece of research from Mintel says that in the same way ‘middle class’ and more affluent shoppers have turned to Aldi and Lidl in the UK, they are also frequenting so-called ‘chicken shops.’

This means that despite financial problems for some food chains, British diners are set to spend £7.5 billion (€8.25 billion) on burgers and chicken in 2019.

Thirty-seven per cent of consumers are ordering home deliveries more often from burger and chicken

outlets than they did a year ago and this seems likely to increase.

One of the reasons given is consumers feel these outlets are now offering more healthy options than they did a year ago, which has encouraged them to increase their patronage and buy that more wholesome meal.

Ironically, those same restaurants and take-aways have seen a fall in spend from those who are less well off.

two­colour foil, making it very dif­ ficult to counterfeit.

There are some two billion £20 notes currently in circulation (more than the total number of £5, £10 and £50 notes) which makes it the most logical note to try to copy and so far this year, more than 200,000 fakes have been seized.

Bank notes produced in polymer last longer and stay in better condi­ tion than paper notes, although there have been complaints from veg­ ans and religious groups about the use of tallow which is derived from animal fat.

The alternative is to use palm oil which is both more expensive and is also controversial because of its effect on the environment.

The new £20 note will be the first to feature the signature of Sarah John, the Bank’s Chief Cashier, but those with paper notes needn’t rush out to spend them as notice will be given six months before they cease to be le­ gal tender.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT ONE thing the Brits have never lacked is courage. World wars, the blitz, Roman invaders and a whole host of past adversaries, have always failed to quench the indomitable spirit of our great Island race.

Well I’m sorry to say that whole scenario is now changing. An enemy more deadly than all the opposing forces that have assailed us in the past now threatens to engulf our once great country and is slowly but surely eating us away from within. For the first time ever people are genuinely frightened.

Today’s adversaries are the bureaucrats; the MPs, the so­called leaders of the British people; men and women who were voted in­ to positions of power and trusted to protect and stand up for the British public and defend their rights and their heritage. The betrayal by these people is making UK citizens feel even more unsafe in their own country than they felt when the Nazi jackboot threatened them in the Second World War. At least at that time we were all in it together. The ene­ my was there for all to see, and the Brits knew who, and what they were fighting for.

Now the scenario is so confused people are

PC defeats spirit

I REST MY CASE: ‘Preacher’ comedian almost won the show! utterly baffled as to how they should react or even behave. I’ll give you an example. In my cabaret spot I do slip in a couple of extremely mild ‘racist’ jokes. As the act has never really changed (I know, I know!) I have seen the dif­ ferent reaction to these same gags from British audiences over many years.

At first the stories were generally met with

open guffaws of pretty innocuous merriment.

As the years went by reactions slowly altered.

These different phases went from full on laughter to somewhat derisive scoffing. We then moved on to laughter mixed with occa­ sional whoops of defiant communal assent.

The next phase involved rather more sub­ dued sniggers with people looking at each other

to see if their merriment was being shared. We have now hit rock bottom. What I see now is subdued embarrassment and actual fear on the audience faces as they furtively glance around to see if they could be involved in some type of ‘offence’ that could get them reprimanded or even arrested. And it’s not pretty.

The British spirit is being defeated by politi­ cal correctness ‘Uman rights advocators and the appeasers of minority groups to a point where they are utterly confused as to what is right and wrong and are actually in fear of re­ vealing their true feelings in public. And it’s all one way traffic.

An example of this was that awful black ‘preacher’ comedian who took part in the re­ cent BGT champions final. His whole act was racist. He spoke in an utterly derogatory way about having white girls out on a date and how black girls’ reactions were far more ‘with it’ and acceptable. If he had been a white co­ median talking about black women in the same way there would have been uproar from the luvvies that would probably have in­ volved legal proceedings. As it was he nearly won the show! I rest my case.

Keep the faith.

Today’s policing problems 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

REPEATEDLY nowadays we read how the UK police struggle to cope with increased demands, especially knife crime.

Plus news of one force, Cleveland police, rated ‘inadequate’ and put in special measures!

Let alone the Met and its nonexistent Westminster paedo ring fiasco.

Everyone has an opinion about how the police should be deployed based on their personal needs, but surely their pri­ mary role is the protection of life, prop­ erty and keeping the peace? Modern so­ ciety has added additional burdens but they must be secondary to this.

People who don’t feel secure in their homes and neighbourhoods are hardly likely to care about what some person posted on the internet about gender di­ versity. Why do the police have to be re­ sponsible for policing the internet and child porn? There are better qualified

POLICE: A total rethink is needed. people to do this and either prosecute or liaise with police to make arrests.

Basically, why doesn’t this crisis trigger a total rethink about police work by the present government?

In recent years, policing has become relatively inefficient with many officers spending up to 80 per cent of their time doing admin in police stations with an equally large civilian backup. There have been, admittedly, some good initiatives (giving officers mobile data terminals to streamline reporting and administration) but more needs to be done like: • Simplifying ‘red tape’ reporting re­

quirements (a simple burglary prosecu­ tion requires 1,000 steps and 70 forms); • Reducing sickness absence, and ear­ ly retirement on health grounds; • Multi­skilling police officers to in­ clude intelligence processing; • Time off in lieu rather than costly overtime payment for all but the most junior staff (common in industry); • Regrading staff: if ‘back office’ func­ tions are fulfilled by officers, pay and benefits should be adjusted accordingly (as in industry); • Merging police forces.

MPs should also cut their ‘back office’ staff that cost us so much in ‘expenses.’

They simply need to work more efficient­ ly. Or doesn’t that apply, provided they can get their nap in the House?

Or find ways to cause as much anti­ Brexit aggro as possible for the govern­ ment?

As it stands right now as of 00:00 hours (CET) on November 1 all new regulations resulting from the UK leaving the European Union will come into immediate effect in all re­ spects.

A lot is about to change this Hal­ loween and I’m scared: not of the ghosts but of the process, the costs and that this is all just potentially part of the ploy to keep us running around like chickens with our heads cut off so we don’t have a moment to really analyse what’s going on in our world or any time to even ques­ tion it.

I had my first reminder of what we are about to face during the im­ porting of the disposable breathal­ ysers for our #ZeroHero incentive from South Africa. The whole pro­ cedure was overwhelming and cost­ ly; enough so to make me feel like no good deed goes unpunished. The kafuffle, the middlemen, the docu­ mentation, the additional up­front costs and import duties literally felt like there would be no end to the officialdom.

Even before the cut­off date this week my DHL delivery from the UK arrived a day later than expected and already marked as a non­Euro­ pean product.

With this in mind if you are about to send anything to the UK this month, please ensure it will arrive before 23.59hrs on October 31, as if not you run the risk of it being di­ verted to the relevant Customs au­ thorities who could then apply the regulations for all third countries!

This could imply the need to then

Old customs die hard.

provide new documentation, pay additional charges, change the des­ tination of the goods or have them returned.

For those of us who import to Spain from the soon to be non­EEC UK on a regular basis, all this extra

paperwork and additional costs are going to be par for the course.

Once again everything will be sub­ ject to paying Customs tariffs, pre­ senting all sorts of declarations, getting all kinds of authorisations and licences depending on each

product classification category.

Once again we’ll be back to pay­ ing VAT upfront instead of being off­ set through the Intrastat system and liable to potential charges such as supplementary customs storage that can be incurred whilst docu­ mentation is presented and pay­ ments are made, even if the delays are caused at or by Customs.

Someone will also have to pre­ pare and administrate all the paper­ work so more staff will be required, meaning even more charges for more procedures, but less value for money! We simply can’t be as com­ petitive as European countries for similar products that don’t have all these sudden extra financial com­ mitments and responsibilities.

Only time will tell how significant this is all going to be but in the meanwhile as of this year, at least as far as I’m concerned, ironically Halloween has become synony­ mous with death and loads of daunting taxes.

CHELYS - Horological Sculpture NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England CHELYS derives from the Latin form of the origi­ nal ancient Greek for ‘tortoise’ which described a musical instrument made of its shell, its con­ vex form resembling that of this chronometer.

According to fable Hermes found a tortoise near his mother’s house and hollowed out the shell to make the sound box of a seven­string instrument, the first lyre of the ancient Greeks.

Winch Design and Thomas Mercer have combined once again to design and create a unique chronometer joined this year by Mar­ mor Hotavlje stone cutters par excellence for the CHELYS chronometer. The CHELYS is a sculpture fusing the arts of horology , stone carving and yacht design.

Winch Design create bespoke homes on land, in the air and of course at sea. The design studio of choice for individuals demanding the highest levels of design excellence.

Thomas Mercer is a name forever associated with the marine chronometer, manufacturing since 1858 exclusive chronometers to accent the interiors of yachts and residences.

In 1721 residents of the Slovenian village of Hotavlje discovered the riches hidden in their

mountain and carved their first stone. An­ drew Winch, founder and director of the eponymous studio said, “Yet again, it is a pleasure to be able to work closely with Thomas Mercer to bring to life another unique timepiece which sings with the spirit of the sea. The craftsmanship of both Thomas Mercer and Marmor Ho­ tavlje has rendered this outstanding and unique horological sculpture a triumph and showcases the time honoured skillsets of both these inspirational stu­ dios.”

Revealed at the 2019 Monaco Yacht Show on September 26, CHELYS is a unique celebra­ tion of horology, design and stone carving. The case was inspired by a mythological musical instrument, the movement is housed in a tube case made of extra white crystal offering an all round view of the inner workings, the elegant open work dial magnifies the intricacies of the manifestly complicated movement and its stone setting pairs per­ fectly the white onyx body. The hands are steel, hand made with

a bluing technique. As with every Thomas Mer­ cer mechanism the new calibre TM8004 enjoys the specifications of a marine chronometer in­ cluding a special spring detent escapement , al­ so known as the chronometer escapement, the spring detent is distinguished by its rare one impulse per oscillation resulting in its individual sound, one loud and one soft beat.

The sophisticated lines of the CHELYS are carved from ivory onyx, a semi­precious white stone with an immaculate crystalline back­ ground with waves undulating through its structure. Rare and precious this stone has been valued since ancient times. Weighing in at 25 kilos and measuring 44 by 39 by 22 cms this sculpture has been hand crafted by the artisans of Marmor Hotavlje.

Led by the Selak family, Marmor Hotavlje is one of the foremost stone cutting companies in the world. Alessandro Quintavalle, Managing Director of Thomas Mercer concludes, “It is tru­ ly a privilege to partner again with a world class name such as Winch Design on another cre­ ation embodying their ethos of beauty, unique­ ness and perfect proportion.

“After the success of the incomparable NAU­ TILUS , CHELYS takes the concept of horological sculpture to the next level by relying on the world class masters of Marmor Hotavlje to ex­ plore the endless possibilities of stone.”

Neater Heater: More Choice, Greater Control N E AT E R H E AT E R h a v e come a long way since they started 10 years ago by introducing the residents of the Costa Blanca to slimline, efficient, Norwegian Convector Heaters.

The whole enterprise started when two expats, R ichard and Tony, had been unsuccessfully looking for efficient and economical electric radiators for their homes. They then came across these heaters quite by chance while working in the villa of the UK importer. Realising they had found a great solution

to fill a gaping hole in the market, they started importing and selling them to the rest of us.

The original Beha heaters were a great success and sales grew mainly by word of mouth as customers recommended them to their neighbours.

S ince then, never resting in their desire to provide their customers with a greater variety of choice, Neater Heater have added the Norwegian Adax heaters, and the very popular Turkish made Vigo heaters to their catalogue.

T he last year has been very exciting with Adax and Beha

both introducing a range of heaters that can be controlled remotely through Wi-Fi systems by use of t he i r downl oa da bl e Apps.

Says Richard “Our customers vary in age and technical ability. We are seeing an increasing amount of people opting for the Neater Heaters with a Wi-Fi option. T hey get the same great heaters, but have much more control over them. However, a great many of our customers find technology baffling. They just want a good efficient heater that they can control simply with an on-off switch

No trumpets please!

MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man MY friend came over for a few days and booked himself into one of the nicest spa hotels in the area.

I dropped him off ­ I live 15 minutes away ­ and by the time I got home he had rung me to come and pick him up. He told me he went to his room, dropped his bag off and went down to the pool area to relax in the sun. As his bum hit the sun lounger some geezer started playing a trumpet. That was enough for him ­ he was gone. Which brings me to my grump.

Why would you have someone playing a trumpet round a swimming pool? I mean maybe along with the no bottles, no ball games, no lilos they should have added no bloody trumpets.

I had another friend staying there too a few days later and I told him the story.

He was staying in a room over the restau­ rant and when he woke up in morning he was launched into the day by the music coming from below. Here’s a tip ­ you

don’t need very loud music all the time ­ especially not at breakfast time.

The same now applies to many budget airlines. The repetitive loud music as you are boarding is just ridiculous.

It’s not a bit of gentle soothing, calm­ ing music but a blaring loop of their theme tune which goes on forever! Fun­ ny enough I had to use Ryanair this week and they didn’t have the noise pollution, but made up for it with a filthy aircraft.

I was allowed to board as the last pas­ senger got off. I needed to go to the bathroom and it was disgusting. I’ll leave it there but obviously it had not been cleaned for some time. I’d love to know if there are any official rules about the cleanliness of aircraft before they board passengers. I know it’s cheap but surely there must be some rules about it.

There’s no point in mentioning it to the airline, that’s for sure. The other thing is why do people applaud when the plane lands? That’s what it’s meant to do. I guess if we had been through mad turbu­ lence and the pilot had managed to keep it in the air for four hours it would be worth a round of applause.

It’s not really necessary after a per­ fectly smooth hour and a half flight from Santiago to Malaga!

and a thermostat. We are happy to say that all Neater Heaters can be controlled manually, including those with a WiFi option.

“We at Neater Heater are offering our customers the same great service, whether through one of our many outlets, or through our online shop, but now they have more choice and, depending on the heater they choose, an option of much greater control.”

DEADLY WEAPON A RECENT Euro Weekly News piece report­ ed that distraction caused by mobile phones are responsible for an annual 390 deaths on Spanish roads.

Not surprising, not when we’re living in Spain, which I believe has one of Europe’s highest proportion of smartphone users.

I’m aware that people die on UK roads and elsewhere in the developed world be­ cause either they or someone else was paying more attention to their mobile than the road.

But it’s time to agree that a mobile can turn into a deadly weapon once it’s inside a car or, worse, a lorry.

Very often, though, in the small inland city where I live, you see a car pulled in at the kerb on a narrow road because the dri­ ver is talking on their mobile.

So, what is the usual reaction? Blaring horns from the cars behind because some­ one doesn’t want to break the law. Talk about inconsistent.

Well educated and knowing IN a recent column ‘Self­centred and spoiled,’ Mr Lee pilloried the climate change strike generation and he could have been wider off the mark but not by much.

The children involved fully under­ stand that the price of the alleged must haves of today has been the planet, if one chooses to listen to any of them speak they show far more understand­ ing of the issues than the majority of their elders.

As the placard of a girl in Kuala Lumpur read: ‘You will die of old age, I will die of climate change.’

To take aim at lifestyles is easy, but remember that those lifestyles are not put in place by the ‘z’ generation but by their parents and grandparents. The selfish Me Me Me society created by the powers that were of the eighties and nineties made it acceptable to have every gadget and gismo that ap­ peared, often with no way to pay for them.

As the following generations grew up those new inventions became the norm and must haves to live. The fault

DISTRACTION: Using a mobile phone whilst driving is the cause of an annual 390 deaths on Spanish roads. always lies with those who create the item not those who use it. Yes, an older person may say they coped without it, but if you grew up with the inventions then you will not be believed.

The ‘Strikers’ are totally aware of their

HAVE YOUR SAY

subject, they know the scientific data that the World’s scientific community are agreed on ­ sea levels up by 75mm in the last 25 years, temperatures up by half a de­ gree Celsius in the same period.

As one of the protesters in Australia placard read ‘We are rising up, so the sea level won’t.’

Led by the formidable Greta Thun­ berg (read her speech to the UN cli­ mate meeting and decide for yourself if she is self­centred) millions of school age children worldwide are rising up against the indifference and incompe­ tence of their elders.

The demonstrations were all over the globe and massive, the numbers in countries which are more obviously al­ ready being affected being enormous suggesting this is a campaign which is not going away soon If you think it’s not your problem fine, explain that to your children and grandchil­ dren in a few years’ time. I for once am get­ ting down with the kids and trying to change things, the choice is yours choose wisely!!

MAXIMUM working hours introduced this year in Spain are forcing employers to apply strict limits to the time staff are on duty.

Companies that cannot implement the new laws are being given time to negotiate with employees before any sanctions are imposed.

Businesses are now required to record staff start and finish times daily to make it clear what overtime people are working and breaks during the day which must not be more than nine hours.

Registration systems must guarantee the authenticity and integrity of the working times register and records must be kept for four years and made available to trade unions and the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate (LSSI) Workers’ pay is not affected by the rule, so the law shouldn’t cost businesses any more where they already reward staff for overtime.

So far, the LSSI hasn’t announced a cut-off date when noncompliant employers will start to face fines of up to €6,250.

There are no plans at present to follow up the ruling, so bosses are unlikely to have to worry unless employees raise the alarm over practices.

It’s difficult to imagine how the regulations will be policed as there is no planned follow-up and there is no stipulated system of recording hours.

Unless electronic recording is introduced across the board, which would involve businesses in additional expense - and could raise questions about employee privacy - then it’s unlikely the ruling will have any real value.

Now we want to hear your views.

Andrew Marr Slaughtered Home Secretary On Sunday Show For Laughing Over Brexit Dear God, Marr was quite right. She sat there with that stupid smirk on her face then read from a pre­ pared script. What is it you don’t like, Marr or his politics? He may not be my favourite interviewer but he does OK!!! Why all so bitchy? Brexiteers?

She did well reading her script from PM’s office.

Very reminiscent of May and we know what havoc she caused.

Jamie Oliver Still Flush After £5.8 Million Pay Out He took money out when it was profitable. Put money back in to try and help it survive and when it didn’t made sure all employees were paid even though the company didn’t have the funds. His lia­ bility doesn’t extend to his other wealth or business­ es. Not sure what the problem is here!!

YOUR STARS

TIME OUT

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) The need to be popular midweek could see you veer off track on a business matter.

You have been warned and will be able to avoid it if you wish.

Do not under-estimate how much hassle a wrong move could cause you. On the domestic front, you are able to fully relax and enjoy good company.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) As someone is not showing the required amount of interest in your activities, you need a plan.

Telephoning them and pointing out what you have achieved is one way, but it's not cool. Getting a few people together and using someone else to blow your trumpet for you is better.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Having been dashing about like a mad thing, you find this week a refreshing change. Only when you slow down do you realise how much you have been doing and just how tired you have become. There are some social engagements that you would not miss for the world, however.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) By using your intuition midweek, you will be able to solve a small problem at the weekend. Thinking ahead sometimes seems a waste of time to you because circumstances have a way of changing, but it makes sense to put in a bit of extra effort if you are able to avoid aggravation.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) A mistake seems a small thing until someone notices it. Although you feel that they are making a mountain out of a molehill, it still leaves a nasty feeling. Get out and do something completely different at the weekend. Not only will it blow the cobwebs away, but it will also put in perspective any negative thoughts.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A business colleague may be less than honest with you. When it is a small matter you are used to them bending the truth. This is not, however, something that you will want to let go by, so stay on your toes. On the home front, you tend to be snappy with loved ones because you are feeling stressed.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Looking for answers? They are there if only you go to the right source. There is no 'quick fix' this week and you need to delve deeper to get the information you need. It will be tempting to take a short cut but,believe me, it will not be worth the hassle in the longer term. Once you have the right facts you are truly in charge of what happens next.

‘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.’

Cartoon by Audrey Quinton www.audreyq.co.uk

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) You are very much in two minds about how to deal with a personal situation. Ask yourself which approach will help and which will do nothing. Although you want to shout at someone and feel negative at times, hold fire.

LOTTERY UK NATIONAL LOTTERY Saturday October 12

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Getting a romantic situation wrong could cause a humourous moment this weekend. I am not telling you this so you can avoid it. You could do with a good laugh right now.

Planning ahead is your preferred method but sometimes it is the last-minute decision that brings the best results.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) The thing that you have to tackle this week is uppermost in your mind, but don't dwell on it.

Write it down and what you intend doing about it, then put it away. Relax and get on with other things. When you do come to take it out again and face the situation it will be so much easier.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Imposing restrictions on someone else also imposes restrictions on you. Why? Well, you have to hang around and see that your wishes are followed and take further action if they are not. Wouldn't it be easier to find some kind of compromise?

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Avoid getting involved in other people’s arguments. There is no way that you can come out a winner if you do. Taking a step backwards is sometimes the best thing. You have been down this path before, and did your intervention do any good?

Go and trim the roses or sort out those rockery stones instead.

DECODING your ‘appetite pendulum’ can help you lose weight without the need to diet.

This is according to psy­ chologist Dr Helen McCarthy who believes we can retrain our appetites and to recog­ nise how much our food ac­ tually needs in order to shed the kilos.

The author told the Daily Mail that we have all been trained to eat at certain times of the day, rather than eating when we are hungry and stopping when we are full.

She claims the ‘appetite pendulum’ starts at 0 when hunger is neutral, moves in­ to minus when hungry and plus when we begin to eat.

And Dr McCarthy advised eating should only begin when hunger gets to minus three ­ definitely hungry ­ stressing the importance of stopping at plus three ­ just full.

The former NHS psycholo­ gist said many of us eat too

Retrain your appetite much either because we’re enjoying the food and don’t want to stop, or we’re eat­ ing mindlessly.

She encourages clients not to give up any foods they love and devise their own meal plans rather than be dictated by a diet.

The weight loss psycholo­ gist, who is also training other professionals in this way of thinking, says hunger signs aren’t a bad thing, pointing out that ‘mild hunger in the hour or so be­ fore your next meal or snack is healthy.’

She went on to say,

“when you never feel mild hunger, your body may have been continuously digesting food, with no chance to stop and rest. Understanding and respecting mild hunger lets your gut work in the way that it evolved.”

According to her research, “the hunger message to the brain is our body’s inbuilt natural way of letting us know we’ve used up the en­ ergy from our last meal, and that we’re having to switch over to using our stored en­ ergy, ie fat, so the hunger signals are switched off.

“We can go a whole day,

or month or lifetime, with­ out actually getting hungry ­ and it’s one of the biggest reasons we put on weight.”

IF you have pain in the knee or back you probably think something is wrong with your knee or back.

In most cases this is probably correct, but sometimes the brain gets confused making you think that one part of the body hurts when in fact, the real source of trouble is elsewhere.

This curious (and clinically important) phe­ nomenon is known as referred pain.

I’ve been talking a lot lately about the symp­ toms that get thrown in with ‘sciatica,’ well to­ day we’re going to talk about another common kind of pain that gets muddled, confused and then mistreated.

When your knee hurts . . .

If you have pain in your knee, you would most likely see your doctor, perhaps getting an X­ray or MRI scan.

What if these investigations don’t show a problem? You still have pain in your knee, but your doctor is saying there is nothing wrong.

What then?

Or worse, they show a small issue, you start treatment (or even an operation!) but .

Referred Pain Knee, Back or Hips?

TREATMENT: Treat the person, not the pictures.

. . it doesn’t improve.

Playing detective I have written many articles about the impor­ tance of taking the time for a correct diagnosis and looking at the bigger picture, including the joints connected to where you have pain.

This is critical when dealing with referred pain ­ where the actual problem in one part of the body causes pain or symptoms elsewhere.

It is so important to always do a full clinical assessment of the patient as a whole.

If you complain of knee pain and there is

HEALTH & BEAUTY

nothing wrong with your knee, no matter how much treatment you have, no matter how many operations you have, you will still have knee pain.

Hip, knee or back?

Hip joint pain can be confusing. Not only are there many causes, but most people are unsure where their hip joint actually is.

True hip joint pain is usually felt in the groin area (where the leg bone attaches to the pelvis) and this is different from upper thigh pain, out­ er thigh pain, buttock pain or even side pain which can often be due to other issues.

Then there may be referred pain from lower back problems and sciatic pain, the list goes on.

People also complain of knee pain due to is­ sues in the hips. This is the complicated ‘refer­ ral pattern’ due to nerve and muscle interac­ tion.

Treat the person, not the pictures By looking at you, it becomes clear whether the problem is a knee, back or a hip issue.

Recently I had a patient complaining of pain in her right hip however, when we reviewed her, the left hip was the problem!

The right hip pain was due to her compensat­ ing for the left!

By treating the correct area of the body you get quicker, more effective and efficient treat­ ment. Saving you time, pain and money!

Neck scans could predict Alzheimer’s disease A BRITISH study of more than 3,000 people has found that a fiveminute scan could predict dementia a decade before symptoms appear.

Researchers at University College London claims that measuring somebody’s pulse from their neck can predict damage in the brain which causes problems with memory and thinking skills in old age.

Data suggests those with the most intense pulse in this area were around 50 per cent more likely to suffer rapid cognitive decline over the following 10 years.

The pulse of 3,191 people with an average age of 61 was measured using one of the large carotid arteries which supply blood to the head and neck.

An ultrasound recorded the sound waves that bounce off blood vessels. Over the next 15 years the participants were monitored to keep an eye on their memory and problem­solving skills.

The quarter of participants with the highest intensity pulse at the start of the study were around 50 per cent more likely to have accelerated cognitive decline.

This meant falling within the 15 per cent of people with the most rapid drop in thinking abilities.

If larger studies of more people are carried out, the neck scan could become a routine test which doctors give middle­aged people at risk of dementia.

CMT disease awareness month SOME 25,000 people are thought to be living with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease in the UK, making it the most common inherited neurological condition, although many people have not even heard of it.

UK­based charity CMT UK, which provides support to those affected by the condition in the UK, is hoping to change that dur­ ing its October awareness month.

CMT is a hereditary condition that damages the peripheral sensory and motor nerves. Be­ cause of the nerve damage, people living with CMT may find

CMT: Many people have not heard of the condition. that their muscles become slow­ ly weaker over the years, partic­ ularly in their hands and feet,

arms and lower legs and the sense of feeling can become dull or numb in these areas. As there are over 100 diagnosed types of CMT, symptoms can vary huge­ ly, although some other key points about CMT are that it can cause chronic pain and fatigue.

Some early symptoms could in­ clude difficulty walking because of foot drop, high arches, or ab­ normally flat feet; others will ex­ perience a weakness in the hand and forearms; some children may experience a ‘clumsiness’ and fall over, and a difficulty

with running and general agility.

CEO of CMT UK, Simon Bull, says “if we could get people talk­ ing about CMT during the awareness month and beyond that would be amazing. Even if we can help just 100 more peo­ ple to be diagnosed with the condition, it would really help them to manage their symp­ toms.

It would also mean that we could provide support to those already living with CMT, but did­ n’t know about our charity; and, by increasing awareness of CMT

to health professionals, patients could get diagnosed quicker with faster access to any treat­ ment or support.”

Simon added: “If anyone would like to help us to spread the word about CMT further during October, search for our posts using the hashtag #CMTawarenessmonth on Face­ book, Twitter and Instagram and feel free to share our details about the condition, together with help available to those that may be affected by CMT.” Simon added “Most of CMT UK’s trustees are living with CMT, so they know first­hand the type of support that is need­ ed for our members. For a small charity, it’s really active with lots of information available about the condition, managing it, and living well.”

CMT UK has put together an awareness pack for those poten­ tially living with CMT, as well as a separate information pack for GPs who would like to find out more. To request a free pack or for more information, visit the CMT awareness month web page.

The 23­year­old revealed in April she would be taking on the role of the princess on tour with Prince Charles, played by Josh O’Connor, on their first trip with Prince William in 1983. Corrin makes her debut in the series depicting the royal couple in Sydney, although the series is

being filmed in Spain.

Filming began at the start of this month where Corrin is transformed into the young Princess Di­ ana meeting crowds at Sydney Opera House.

Season 3 of the hit series is due to be screened in a month’s time and the scenes filmed last week are not due to be aired until the fourth series.

Corrin appears to mimic the young Diana’s shyness ­ hiding her mouth behind her hands, biting her nails and holding her head down ­ to convey the character of the then 22­year­old princess.

This week Celebrity & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala shares the tragic story of the loss of a friend who was the heart & soul of La Cala… Keith Wilkinson

Life is short, so let’s live it!

Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com THESE were the words often heard from the mouth of our good friend Keith. This week I want to share the sad and tragic story of a man who was the face, heart and soul of La Cala until a tragic accident last week.

When we were about to open The Little Gera­ nium back in 2015, Michele and I were busy painting the restaurant and repairing the wood­ en tables in our scruffs, when in walked a man.

In his broad Yorkshire accent he said “I hear you are going to do Michelin grub? I hope it’s not expensive!” … I responded… “You can always tell a Yorkshire man, but not much!” We both laughed out loud and instantly became friends.

We opened in May 2015 and a few weeks later it was my birthday so I threw a party and invited Keith. He was already part of our lives; like he was a part of many peoples lives here

TRAGIC LOSS: Keith Wilkinson, friend and client. in La Cala de Mijas.

If you wanted to know what was going on, you asked Keith. If you had a problem with some­ thing, you asked Keith. If you wanted help with something you asked Keith, because not only did he usually have the answers, but he always loved to help.

Always smiling (grinning), always loving every

moment of his life. Mooching from bar to bar, restaurant to restaurant ordering his usual glass of red wine and sometimes he would order a snack or tapas, he loved our crispy duck salad.

Keith lit up La Cala, there was never a dull mo­ ment when you were in his company, you always smiled with him.

Always tanned, always well groomed, “I am off to the beach he would say,” every day he was off to the beach! There’s not a restaurant or bar on this part of the coast that doesn’t know or love Keith.

Every year Nikki Beach throws a red party and this year Keith was thrilled to be invited and he posted pictures on Facebook as soon as the tick­ ets arrived with a count down to the big event.

It was the event of a lifetime, he posted videos and pictures live from the event on social media, but none of us expected it to be the last event of his lifetime! On Sunday evening October 6 he left the party probably looking for a cab. He crossed the busy road and was hit by a car. According to police, Keith died instantly.

Euro Weekly News and Sur reported the acci­ dent and said that a man, about 50 years old has

been killed whilst crossing a road in Elviria. Keith was over 60 and he would have smiled and said … “Yes I told you so, I do look far younger!”

Keith was our one and only bar client, by that I mean that we are not a bar and if someone came in and asked for just a drink they would be polite­ ly refused, anyone but Keith.

He was there from day one and so rules didn’t apply! I am not sure that he knew that, as he would always say that we were one of his favourite bars! Probably unaware that we were solely a restaurant.

This tribute is to Keith Wilkinson for lighting up La Cala for so many years and for making us and our small community such a happy place to be.

He will be deeply missed by everyone.

Some would call him, Keith the teeth, as he was always smiling. Here’s to Keith a man who loved life, who lived life and loved a glass of red!

Our friendship will surpass time, I’m sure you will find That when we all stop mourning That you’re still here Keith, In our hearts and in our mind.

RIP our beloved friend.

Keith’s Crispy Duck Salad TO make this dish easier to cook at home I sug­ gest that you buy the duck leg (confit) cooked al­ ready, although it’s not difficult to make, it is time consuming in a domestic kitchen.

Ingredients for four (starter size) 4 cooked duck legs (confit) A little cornflour A little mixed salad A deep fat fryer or wok half filled with veg­ etable oil Seasoning For the sauce 250ml of sweet chilli sauce (available from su­ permarkets) 2 tablespoons of soy sauce 1 glass of white wine 150 ml of chicken stock 1 tablespoon of plum (or hoi sin) sauce (avail­ able in most supermarkets) 1 stick of fresh lemon grass finely shredded (or grated zest of 1 lemon) 1 stick of cinnamon 1 red onion cut in quarters 3 pieces of star anise 2 cloves garlic peeled and crushed, but left whole 2 teaspoons of sesame oil 1 piece of fresh ginger (approx 3cm) peeled and finely chopped

Leaves of fresh coriander, juice of one lime and the seeds of half a fresh pomegranate to finish.

• First prepare the sauce by mixing all the in­ gredients for the sauce together and heating it all up in a sauce pan.

• Add the chicken stock to loosen it a little.

Simmer for 30/45 minutes on a low heat. Set aside and allow to cool. It should be nice and syrupy. Remove all the visual hard spices like the cinnamon, onion and star anise etc with a slotted spoon.

• Now warm the cooked duck legs in some of the fat that surrounds the legs or use a little veg­ etable oil. Warm gently.

• Now the meat is warm it is easier to remove from the bone. Be careful to ensure that you avoid the gristle and bones.

• Break down the warm duck meat with your fingers (use latex gloves), so that the pieces are as evenly sized as possible.

• Toss the duck meat through some seasoned cornflour.

• Heat the fryer or wok to 190ºC. • Fry in two batches so that you don’t over­ crowd the fryer therefore reducing the heat.

• Drain onto tissue paper and season well.

• Put the duck meat into a clean bowl and add the salad and then four tablespoons of the chilli sauce, mix well together.

• Add the pomegranate, the coriander and a good squeeze of fresh lime.

• Divide by four and present in pretty little bowls topped with micro cress.

CRISPY DUCK SALAD: Finish off with a good squeeze of fresh lime.

TESTIMONIAL

“

Hi everybody at EWN Doggie Angells would like to thank you all for your help over the last year. We have had a great deal of success with rehoming our dogs.

Sometimes dogs can be with us for long periods.

It’s funny when they are adopted people often say we have been looking at this dog in the paper week after week and we kept wanting to adopt him but the time was just not right.

He's still in the paper and we are now ready to have him. So that is great - patience pays off. Again thank you all, we very much appreciate all what you do for our charity.

Things slow up for us in August, thank goodness it gives us time to catch up.

Kind regards Denise and all at Doggie Angells.

Charlie: 5 star No other newspaper as good in Spain, tbh not even any paper in the UK comes close that I have ever seen as good as EWN. Informative, refreshing and full of news and reviews, especially like the nonogram teaser and the horoscopes lol, takes me all week to read front to back.

Carry on the good work.

We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice.

If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre.

Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155.

1935 was the first year that the driving test was compulsory and 246,000 candidates put themselves forward for it.

Mazda3 TCR unveiled MAZDA MOTORSPORTS announced this month the newest addition to its motorsports programme with the unveiling of the all-new Mazda3 TCR race car.

The Mazda3 TCR will hit the race­ track as part of the 2020 IMSA Miche­ lin Pilot Challenge, beginning with the four­hour En­ durance Challenge that is part of the Rolex 24 at Daytona weekend of racing on January 26, 2020.

By retaining the striking de­ sign of the 2019 Mazda3 hatch­

back, the Mazda3 TCR features the latest iteration of the brand’s signa­ ture Kodo ­ Soul of Motion design lan­ guage. Envisioned within the walls of Mazda Design America in Irvine, Cali­ fornia, designers spent countless hours ensuring the aerodynamics of the Mazda3 TCR are compli­

ant with all TCR regulations, and flow seamlessly with the clean lines found on the Mazda3.

“TCR represents a great opportuni­ ty for us to showcase the new Maz­ da3 and provide our customers an­ other avenue to race Mazda vehicles,” said Masahiro Moro, Chair­ man and CEO, Mazda North

American Operations. “Some of our most important successes in IMSA and SRO TC Americas have been thanks to dedicated customers who chose to race with Mazda, and we hope the next generation of Mazda racers see the same potential in the Mazda3 TCR.” “The Mazda3 features the out­ standing design and engineering that Mazda is known for, and because of that, it is a fantastic foundation for our new Mazda3 TCR,” said John Doonan, Director, Mazda Motor­ sports. “We NEW TOURING CAR: Mazda unveils Mazda3 TCR.

have looked forward to returning to the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge for several seasons, and everyone at Mazda is very excited that we will do just that in 2020. We are eagerly an­ ticipating success for the Mazda3 TCR in IMSA, SRO Americas and in TCR championships around the world.”

The Mazda3 TCR will be powered by a turbocharged, four­cylinder en­ gine producing 350 horsepower and will use a paddle­shifted six­speed transmission.

Developed and supported by Long Road Racing, the manufacturer of the Global Mazda MX­5 Cup car, the Maz­ da3 TCR is homologated to compete in any of the 36 TCR­sanctioned championships around the globe.

More information about the Mazda3 TCR is available at MazdaMotorsports.com and LongRoadRacing.com.

The all-new Golf IF there’s one car you could call a bestseller for decades, it’s the Golf.

Developed continuously from one generation to the

next, it has become firmly established worldwide.

On October 24, the Volk­ swagen brand presents the eighth generation at a world premiere in Wolfs­ burg: featuring more digi­ talisation and connectivity than ever before, packed with innovations and sport­ ing a highly expressive de­ sign.

In the new model, the strengths that have made the Golf a worldwide best­ seller have been further perfected. In addition to

the new range of efficient engines, further enhanced suspension technology pro­ vides a boost in terms of agility.

The new Golf01 is also a trendsetter in terms of its digitalised and connectivi­ ty­oriented interior world, its assisted driving features and its online­based func­ tions and services.

Its exterior design is more dynamic than ever b e ­

fore, and yet it is instantly recognisable as a Golf from all sides. On the inside, fresh colours and fabrics define the look of the new compact model, as well as a new digital cockpit.

The latest generation of the Golf is due to enter the first markets in December.

Classic Car Club of Andalucía

Tour Al Andaluz a Huge Success!

THIRTY cars gathered at Venta Carlos del Mirador in the Montes de Malaga on Sunday last week to prepare to take part in the seven-day Tour Al Andaluz organised by the ‘Drive Andalucia’ team of Ian and Carol Giles.

No-one was to know at the time what a fabulous event this would turn out to be.

Even the weather would be magnificent for the duration of the Tour. Hot, sunny days and warm balmy evenings. And this in October!

All crews from the 30 cars entered arrived at the Venta to complete registration formalities, pay balances, collect the free polo shirts provided and, most important, collect the beautifully produced, and extremely detailed and accurate, roadbooks to enable them to navigate successfully the 2,000 or so kilometres they were about to embark upon.

After breakfast, some banter with friends and a briefing from CCCA Presidente Ian Giles, the first cars pulled out to start Day One and the climb up through the famous Montes de Malaga. O n through to C olmenar, having seen some spectacular views and scenery along the way, and then through Alfarnate to head for Loja. From here, after a coffee stop in the town, the route went straight over the mountains, full of endless rows of olive groves, to descend on Jaen and then have a run-in to the first night halt in Ubeda, where a welcome dinner was enjoyed by everyone.

Many were impressed by the old 1920’s B entley S peed 6 of P eter and E ls P ollet whilst, equally, many drooled over the fabulous, new B entley G T of Ken and A nita Brown. A spectacular contrast of hugely desirable motor cars.Two other Bentleys joined the Crewe train with a GTC for Jack Weiss and another G T for Tony and Rita Rielly. Quite a sight as they sped through the Andalucian mountains! In addition to these there was the Bentley Arnage convertible of Brendan and Annie O’Brien who had come all the way from Blighty to participate in and enjoy this amazing event Day 2 saw the crews depart Ubeda and head cross-country for Toledo. The very beautiful B uenavista P alace, a restored 600-year-old palace, was the venue for the night halt, giving all a chance to go in to Toledo, explore this fascinating and beautiful mediaeval city and enjoy some of the

FABULOUS EVENT: Thirty cars took part over the sevenday tour. culinary delights this city is famous for. Especially the game and the partridge…

Tony and Trish Minta were going well in their gorgeous Rolls-Royce Cloud convertible from 1960 whilst J ohn and P auline Place, on their first long run with the Club, were enjoying the delights of open-top motoring their Mazda MX-5. Edward and Jenny Binns were enjoying it all in their pretty, red Jaguar X K8, one of a few Jaguar cars entered along with Ivan Johnston and Linda Spencer in their rather more modern, black Jaguar XK8 convertible.

Still with a Jaguar theme, Simon and Andrew Buck-Honour brought their stunning Jaguar F-Type convertible, helping boost the Jaguar numbers! In fact, I must thank Andrew Buck-Honour for, as always, providing the photographs for this article and also for the C C C A website, www.cccan dalucia.com. Completing the Jaguar line-up were Jan Alvemark and Fernando in a beautiful XJ8, former ice-skating champion Haig Oundjian and his wife, Kerri in a lovely red, XK8 convertible. The pair having decid-

ed that their super old E-Type Jaguar was not such a good idea as the X K8 and so was left at home! Shame!

From Toledo the route followed that of the Al Andaluz along the side of the River Tag as it meandered west towards Lisbon, stopping at the beautiful city of Guadalupe to see the Monastario and enjoy a lunch before continuing west to Badajoz and a night stop at the 5-Star Casino Hotel by the riverside there. Badajoz turned out to be a fun little town, full of tapas bars and restaurants with many people deciding to eat in the town.

The following Day, 4, saw the crews head for Lisbon, over the fabulous Vasco de Gama bridge, the longest bridge in Europe, stunningly beautiful and over 16 kms in length, it is the image chosen for the cover of the roadbook and it couldn’t be better!

A two-night, and one full day, stop in Lisbon was the reward for everyone that had worked hard to get the long days completed and much fun and exploring was the result. Many fine eateries also benefited…

D ay 6 was a fast and easy 320 km run east to finish in Aracena at the Hotel Convento where a superb black-tie dinner was

enjoyed by all and something of a late night and ‘a bit of a party‘ ensued!

Still, all were ready the following morning for the last lap, an easy run through Sevilla to finish with a magnificent lunch at the M olino del S anto in B enaojan, near Ronda.

Awards were presented for the most dersirable car on the event and another for the ‘Spirit of the Event.’ These were won by Ken Brown’s Bentley and by Brendan and Annie O’Brien respectively.

All agreed it had been a fabulous week and look forward to the next adventure!

W here, we’re not sure yet, but the next long Tour will maybe be a winter run at the end of January. More details will come out nearer the time.

T he next C C C A one-day run will be on Saturday, November 9.

That’s it from me until the next time,

IT was a terrible start for pole-sitter Vettel, who was immediately passed by Bottas.

Wing damage occurred for Leclerc after a tussle with Verstappen, who spun off the track.

Leclerc dropped into third but was staying on the track despite reporting damage to his team. It was an incredi­ ble opening to the race.

Leclerc was being encour­ aged to stay on and see how he goes. Bottas kept his lead from Vettel, Leclerc and Hamilton.

Hamilton was complaining of his vision being affected by the wing damage of Leclerc. The champ couldn’t believe the Ferrari driver wasn’t ordered off the track.

Leclerc went off to the pits eventually which pro­ moted Sainz to fourth. There was no investigation into the coming together between Verstappen and Leclerc, much to the former’s ranting on the radio.

The two Mercedes were clocking the quickest laps with Vettel in between them. Leclerc was up to

15th, weaving his way through the field.

Lap 15 saw Mercedes get on the radio to Hamilton.

They thought Vettel would

be pitting soon and they in­ dicated they may make a strategic pit stop them­ selves. Verstappen went out of the race after that early

collision with Leclerc.

Twenty­two laps in Hamil­ ton went in the pits, his tyres were deteriorating rapidly.

Ten laps later saw the top seven drivers all on the medium tyres. Hamilton was reporting that his tyres were still good. Bottas was 13.3 secs out in front, with Vettel 20 secs back in third after yet another pit stop.

Bottas headed into the pits on lap 37. It was nice work by the team and he resurfaced back on track still in front of Vettel. Bottas was just under 10 secs behind Hamilton after the pit stop.

“Tell me what I need to do to win this race,” Hamilton asked his team over the ra­ dio. Beat your teammate,

was the reply with 15 laps to go.

Mercedes needed to outscore Ferrari by 14 points to secure another construc­ tors’ championship and as things stood they were on track.

Leclerc talked to his team, saying he didn’t want to pit as Hamilton looked to finish the race on soft tyres. Vettel was on the mediums and Bottas was leading by 10.5 secs.

In the 45th lap Hamilton now owned the fastest lap of the race and was closing on Vettel with a 1­2 Mercedes finish in his sights and a con­ structors’ championship for his team Mercedes.

Hamilton though just couldn’t get past despite getting less than a second behind as his tyres were shot to bits.

“Oh, oh, oh yeees!,” Bot­ tas said down the radio to his team as he met the che­ quered flag.

Mercedes won their sixth consecutive constructors’ championship.

Ferrari owned qualifying, but it was all Mercedes when it was showtime!

Scrappy win by Wales AROUND 14 minutes into play at the Kumamoto Stadium saw tackle after tackle after tackle by Uruguay.

It was impressive defending. They had successfully kept Wales out so far.

The 18th minute though saw Wales break through and score their first try as Nicky Smith went over, Wales scored the conversion so 7­0 to Wales went up on the scoreboard.

Penalty advantage was given for Uruguay after Wales came in from the side. Freitas crashed into contact in midfield, and the crowd roared as Berchesi then sprinted clear on the right­wing.

Although it was a forward pass to the No 14, and the ref brought it back for a penalty, Uruguay went for goal and scored bringing the scoreline back to 7­3.

Wales won a penalty ear­ ly, in a central position, and Halfpenny kicked it and he hit the post. Nothing

seemed to be going right for Wales after the restart.

Although shortly after a good score from Adams in the corner after Bradley Davies went nearly in under the sticks. They spun it left, with Wainwright, Parkes and Adams all queuing up to score and then made the conversion to increase the score to 14­6 after a panic­ stricken first half.

Wales started to go up a gear, the half time talk seemed to have worked by coach Gatland.

Good pressure from Wales on 65 minutes saw a good drive towards the line, and Uruguay coughed up a penalty try as Wales in­ creased to 21­6.

Shortly afterwards, for the first time in a long time, Uruguay attacked. A lovely little chip kick by Freitas over the defensive cover, on the left­wing, and then there was plenty of support on his inside. James Davies

pulled off an excellent tack­ le, but Uruguay won a penalty and kicked for the corner what saw a tremen­ dous attack bringing about a great try.

Wales then responded as they streamed down the left­wing and Tomos Williams dived over after a nice flat pass from Hadleigh Parkes found a couple of team­mates in space. The conversion took the score to 28­13.

Wales won Pool D with four wins from four and set up a last­eight meeting with France in Oita.

It was an error­strewn performance from Wales, handling the ball as if it was a roasting hot potato, rather than their best friend.

Uruguay, by the way, had made over 200 tackles.

It was a truly inspirational performance from them de­ spite the scoreline.

Final Score: Wales 35­13 Uruguay.

Convincing win despite abuse A SPECTACULAR goal from Rashford on seven minutes ensured a good start from England who faced Bulgaria on Monday night The Euro 2020 qualifier game itself won’t be remembered for the 0­6 win, but for the game being stopped twice for vile racist abuse which saw English players close to walking off the pitch.

The match was stopped on 27 minutes because of racist abuse. The referee was spoken to by an official on the touch­ line. He then spoke to Harry Kane.

There followed an announce­ ment over the tannoy, which in itself was booed.

Forty­two minutes into the first half Gareth Southgate made a second complaint to the fourth official about racist abuse. The referee went to the touchline to talk to the fourth

However, England defied the vile racism and answered with a 0­6 victory. The president of Bulgaria’s football association, Borislav Mihaylov, has since

handed in his resignation. Eng­ land’s win followed a lacklustre performance on Friday against the Czech Republic who won 2­ 1.

Beaten by hosts THE faces of the Scotland and Japan rugby squads had all the neutral expression of 30 men in a queue for airport check­in as they were greeted with noise, music, drums and expectations from both sets of fans.

But first, there was rightfully a minute’s silence to remem­ ber those lost in the typhoon that hit Japan last week.

Finn Russell came on the in­to­out angle around the ruck and went over for the first try of the game on eight minutes.

Laidlaw added the extras giving Scotland a 0­7 lead against the hosts.

Japan went straight back on the attack, Scotland knocked it on just inside their own half for the first scrum of the game.

Japan were on the attack 15 minutes in around halfway and they were getting their familiar recycling rhythm going, and in his attempt to get up and slow it down, WP Nel was penalised for a torpedo style tackle on the legs of Horie.

Yu Tamura pointed at the posts as the ground fell silent but missed.

Eighteen minutes saw Japan back in the game, Fukuoka received a miss pass from Lafaele on the left touchline, he gassed up the line and got away with an outrageous one­ handed offload inside to Matsushima as he was hooked by Harris. Tamura added the conversion to level the score seven points each.

Twenty­six minutes saw Horie carry the ball hard into con­ tact and offload to Labuschagne who found his pack pal Ina­ gaki out of the tackle to ground it under the posts. Tamura converted and Japan took the lead 14­7.

Scotland were deep in the misery zone early into the sec­ ond half as Japan led 28­7.

On 49 minutes Jamie Ritchie broke the line, he was through on Tupou but tripped when attempting a sidestep. A minute later WP Nel took a pick and go from short and the prop went over for a try. Russell kicked the conversion pulling back the score to 28­14.

The final whistle blew at 28­21 and Scotland headed home.
