RESTRICTIONS RETURN THE growing number of coronavirus outbreaks in Spain has led officials to take measures that will have a huge impact on businesses throughout the country.

Last Friday, August 14 according to El País, Spanish Health Minister Salvador Illa announced that all establishments, such as bars and restaurants would have to close at 1am, with no new patrons allowed to enter from midnight onwards.

And nightclubs, discos and similar establishments have been ordered to close for the foreseeable future.

Another measure announced by Illa was a blanket ban across Spain of smoking in public if a two-metre distance cannot be maintained between a smoker and other people.

Illa also said that bars

“It’s the way they do it, always with short notice.

They are actually killing tourism. I have had people sending messages cancelling all the time.”

She also pointed out that bars who happened to be on a food licence

and restaurants would need to guarantee a minimum safe distance of 1.5 metres between patrons at the bar and when they are eating at a table. The maximum number of diners will be limited to 10 at a table or gathering.

The news has been met

However, she said: “Do these places have their up-to-date food handling licences? Are they taking business away from restaurants? They now have extra work to supply this and it could create health issues.”

Sharon Riley who owns Angels, also in Benalmadena took to Facebook to defend friends whose businesses were having to close.

When contacted by EWN, she said: “I know somebody who today has had to hand in their keys and is going to return to the UK. They had set up a cracking business, but this has been the nail in the coffin for them.”

She also spoke of the backing the UK government gave their bar owners. “They were given a lump sum at the beginning of lockdown to handle costs, but in Spain, the government has done nothing for us,” and added “Nobody knew how long it would last for. Employees went on ERTE on a 40-hour contract, but bar owners could not.”

Sharon added: “However, An-

The new measures were announced just a few days after Euro Weekly News was accused of scaremongering after it carried a

report in good faith on the EWN website regarding Spain’s Covid19 plans for the immediate future should the rise of new cases continue to escalate.

The report, which said that Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez was set to lock down Spain once again from Friday, September 18, was published after a chance meeting with a freelance reporter and two gentleman who identified themselves as government bodies.

Government officials later challenged the veracity of the report, but would not say what was wrong with it, choosing no further comment as a reply.

As a result of that report, EWN also found itself at the sharp end of a concerted social media attack. People insisted that it was ‘fake news’ which would exacerbate problems already making life difficult for business owners.

The attacks were made both professionally and personally to members of staff.

We at EWN strive for accuracy at all times and share people’s anger and frustration, especially if we ourselves are misinformed, particularly in these rapidly changing and extremely distressing times.

That said, we would be failing in our duty of care to our readers if we were to underplay the seriousness of the pandemic in Spain. It is far from over.

Health Minister Illa was quoted in the El País report as saying: ‘There has been a growing number of outbreaks in recent

weeks.’

Illa was speaking to journalists after having held an emergency meeting with health officials from Spain’s regions, which have been in charge of their own coronavirus measures ever since the State of Alarm, implemented by the central government back in March, came to an end.

His press conference was held after the latest figures released by the Health Ministry last Thursday showed a worsening situation.

Spain’s regions reported a total of 2,953 new Covid-19 infections detected in the previous 24 hours, and added a total of 7,550 confirmed cases from previous dates.

Not since the worst moments of the crisis in Spain, back in April, have infection rates been so high.

We have to work together in unity to ensure the continuation of our lives in Spain.

Benidorm-bashing and fake news AT the beginning of August the UK’s Daily Express carried this clickbait headline: ‘Brits ‘scared to go out’ as local beach resorts turn into ‘Benidorm on steroids’.’

It was a report about large crowds converging on Cornish resorts, and the apprehension locals felt about huge influxes of strangers.

The paper said: ‘Speaking to the BBC Claire Harris, a 37year-old St Ives’ resident, said she’d banned her children from the town’s harbour and main shopping areas due to the number of people. She claimed the influx had left her “too scared to go food shopping” for fear of picking up the virus.’

The report itself contained no mention WHATSOVER of the popular Spanish resort, so why was the word ‘Benidorm’ used in the headline and intro in such a gratuitously offensive manner?

‘boycott EWN’ t-shirts and face masks!

The idea that a paper would deliberately print fake news to harm the economy of a country in which it operates is beyond ludicrous.

If fury has to be expressed - and I really believe that it does - it should be directed at the bureaucrats who, right now are playing us like fiddles by arbitrarily introducing new Covid-19 regulations, and insisting on moving the goalposts every few hours or so.

This sort of game playing has in the past and will continue in the future to perplex both journalists and the public. Confusing briefings by government officials can only result in the inadvertent spread of misinformation at a time when clarity is most needed.

All this confusion has to end soon if any shred of sanity is to be rescued from the wreckage of 2020.

CORNISH RESORTS: Locals were not happy about the huge influx of strangers into the area.

Editors of British tabloids need to be called out each time they portray Benidorm as the ‘bad boy’ of Spanish resorts. Heaven knows there are thousands who care passionately enough about the manner in which it is portrayed to challenge this sort of negative reporting.

I know that such people exist because I am one of them, and on numerous occasions have

blasted off emails berating news desks for false or negative reports about the place that I love.

I also know that anger can be badly misdirected. For example Euro Weekly News last week found itself under attack on social media after it carried a report about the latest Covid-19 measures being implemented in Spain.

The report - headed ‘Spain Set To LOCKDOWN Friday September 18 with Three Phase System closing borders with France and Portugal’ - was instantly dismissed as ‘fake news’ that would only serve to worsen severe economic downturns in Spanish resorts.

Such was the anger over the report that one enterprising local even began advertising

WE at Euro Weekly News are delighted to learn that our friend and former writer Lisa Burgess has announced that she is now free from cancer.

LAST Friday, August 14, EWN was lucky enough to bear witness to Fuengirola’s very first doggie wedding. However, there was not just one ceremony but two! And they were a roaring success!

Melanie Parker-West, had the idea when thinking of events for her dog grooming business Groom Palace.

“I used to have a mobile dog grooming van in Essex where this kind of thing would go down a treat. I always said I wanted to do events for dogs so they were included.”

There was a big turnout for the event with many of Melanie's clients and local dog lovers. There was a bloodhound in a top hat, a tiny chihuahua in a pink bridesmaid dress. Winston the British bulldog was the ring bearer and Dyson, one of the grooms in a lovely little waistcoat. Once the services were over it was across the road to the reception and dogs honeymoon at Aidan's Bar, run by the fantastic Alan and Sharon.

The whole event was filmed for a UK TV show so keep your eyes peeled and you may be able to see it on your TV soon.

BEACH BEDTIME MARBELLA municipal spokesman , Félix Romero, announced on Monday August 17, that “The Marbella Council has taken the decision to close the beaches each day from 9.30pm with a margin of half an hour to vacate the beach for 10pm.

Access will then be allowed the following morning from 7am. Local Police officers will be patrolling to ensure compliance.” This decision will be indefinite, depending on how the pandemic evolves.

An exception to the limitations will be for the practice of sport fishing, providing you are in possession of a valid licence.

Romero highlighted the new rules are a preventative measure, “Although today the situation is controlled from a health point of view, it is necessary to adopt measures to stop the advance of the virus, the measure is aimed at guaranteeing the enjoyment of the beaches in safe conditions and that they do not become a place where there may be an outbreak.”

He also pointed out that the municipal disinfection team acts “in different areas more intensely” and that the Marbella Council will be “alert at all times in case we have to adopt additional measures.”

Council warning THE Fuengirola Council has taken steps to remind residents (and summer visitors) that now is the time that a number of unscrupulous people try to take advantage, particularly of the elderly.

It is not allowed for any employee of a utility company to simply arrive unannounced as they are required to contact the property owner by telephone or mail to arrange an appointment.

If someone just turns up at the door, it is more than likely that they are not who they purport to be but are fraudsters looking to either arrange illicit gas installation inspection or who want to get into your home and steal. If you have any doubts, refuse entry and telephone the Local Police so that they are aware of the existence of potential fraudsters.

If you have a problem in any establishment open to the public, you have a legal right to demand to enter your complaint into a complaints book which every business should possess and you can be assured that the complaint will then be followed up.

Arrested at concert AS everyone knows, unless you have a medical reason that excuses you, you are required to wear a mask in public and the removal of his led to the arrest of a 23-year-old man at a concert in Fuengirola.

What should have been a simple warning escalated when two on duty police officers noticed that he was trying to move around the area contrary to direction signs and when they pointed this out, he allegedly removed his mask and spat taking no notice of their instructions.

When he refused to replace his mask, they decided that he should be ejected from the concert but he would not leave and started insulting and threatening the officers whose patience was exhausted.

They tried to remove him physically and he initially evaded them, punching one of the officers in the face causing minor injuries.

He was immediately arrested and will appear in court.

He added “From the town hall, we have always been in direct contact with this sector, through the street vendors association, and we decided that the markets would be reopened at 50 per cent in Phase 3.

“Currently, these spaces work 100 per cent, and all the measures to prevent the spread of the virus are fulfilled: maintenance of social distance, use of hydroalcoholic gel and the obligation to wear a mask.”

Brave and big-hearted Oscar THE 11-year-old from Denia is walking the Camino de Santiago - more than 300 kilometres - with ever-supportive mum Niamh, to raise as much cash as possible for a sensory garden at the La Xara Occupational and Day Centre.

“Two years ago, when Oscar was nine years old, he asked if I would take him on a journey. He asked if he could walk the Camino Santiago,” said Niamh, adding: “That’s not just like going for any old walk, it’s a pilgrimage!”

In October 2018 and October 2019 determined Oscar covered 470kms of his incredible challenge. The plan was that in October 2020 Oscar would tackle the final 300-plus kilometres of the camino from Leon to Santiago de Compostela.

“However, as we all know, 2020 hasn’t quite gone to plan,” explained

mum-of-three Niamh, a well-known singer on the Costa Blanca.

To avoid Oscar missing more school after months of lockdown, mum and son hatched ‘a crazier plan.’

Oscar will walk his final 300km of the Camino Santiago through the tricky tracks and trails of Galicia in the very early mornings of August, having started his trek on Friday, August 14.

Niamh said: “Oscar’s fundraiser has been incredible. Truly heartwarming. We really can’t thank you all enough. And donations continue to fly in. It’s not too late. But, right now, the focus of our mum/son duo must be to simply walk.

“To cover 300km in less than two weeks. To keep each other positive and to take time to bond further and deeply appreciate our surroundings.”

Previously Oscar cam-

paigned for sponsorship when he set himself the challenge two years ago, and with the help of the local community and generous friends of the family, he was able to buy a much needed electric hoist for the local La Pedrera rehabilitation centre AND he also scraped together the money to donate a new pair of trainers for all 60-plus residents at the men’s shelter in Gandia.

And having recently visited the Occupational and Day Care centre in La Xara and seeing first-hand the “vitality and importance of this place,” Oscar instantly decided that if he could raise a bit of money from his walk, then this was where he’d like to direct it.

“He loved the happy vibe and walked away so certain that they deserve ALL our support,” said Niamh.

Oscar asked Director of the Centre, Ana, “How can I help?” and she explained that they often dream about installing a sensory garden adapted for special needs.

With a budget tighter than ever, practical priorities come first, but Oscar is determined to help - and you can too.

“There’s been so much negativity recently. It’s time to take back the joy and the sharing and the caring that a community’s unity can create, said Niamh urging the public "from your heart” to help make the project a success.

And it’s not just cash donations that can help make the sensory garden a reality.

Return to school fears Residents start Credit: Aglet flickr

SCHOOL CLASSES: How safe are the children?

MORE than 100 representatives of parent’s associations from Manilva to Malaga along the coast as well as a number ‘up country’ have expressed their fears for the return to school in a 1,800 word open letter.

They blame officials from Malaga Province and local councils for leaving them in the dark as to the protocols to be introduced in order to ensure that their children will be safe and argue that not a single clear measure has been taken to begin the next school year to reduce the risk of a pan-

demic spike in schools.

One of the most important problems in their view is that there has been no indication of any decrease in classroom size and placing 25 to 28 students in primary 30 to 35 in secondary and high school, for five hours a day and five days a week, is negligent.

Another problem is the recruitment of new teachers which means that children will come into contact with more adults rather than having single teachers presenting a number of different disciplines, thus increasing the risk, although this could

be mitigated with smaller class sizes.

There is a long list of questions that are posed and those who are interested should visit the special site http://infoguadalhorce.es/comuni cado-oficial-de-ampas-de-ceipsceis-ceps-e-ies-publicos-de-mala ga-provincia-ante-la-incertidumbredel-inicio-del-curso-escolar- 20202021/ which lists all the demands.

Finally, the communication reminds those in public office that they have ethical, administrative, civil and even criminal responsibility if they place children and adult support staff at risk.

hospital petition IN an event similar to that surrounding the opening of the new La Linea hospital, residents in Estepona are frustrated that despite Mayor Urbano announcing last year that the hospital building was complete nothing has happened.

For more than a year, the building has stood empty due to unresolved issues between the Estepona Council, which paid for the construction and the Junta de Andalucia, whose health service which will be responsible for equipping and staffing it.

Local residents have a group PAIH, Plataforma para Apertura Integral de

Hospital, dedicated to campaigning for the swift opening of what they see as a muchneeded facility.

The group decided that a good way to break the deadlock was to collect signatures from people who would benefit from having a functioning hospital in the town.

“We are delighted with the public response,” said Chair of the group David Dominguez. “People simply cannot understand why the building is empty at a time when due to the Covid virus there is intense pressure on the Costa del Sol Hospital, over 40 kilometres away.”

REDUCED SERVICE: easyJet at Gibraltar Airport.

AFTER a spokesperson for the Gibraltar Social Democrats (the main opposition party on the Rock) said that it was ‘alarmed and concerned’ that both British Airways and easyJet planned to reduce services, the government quickly responded.

It pointed out that the reductions were due to come in during the winter months and that this was perfectly in line with previous years when there is less demand for flights.

The gover nment wants to see as many flights to as many destinations as possible, but recognises that with the global pandemic airlines are struggling and with so many redundancies and sale of aircraft, it means that the number of planes available will perforce be reduced. The cancelling and consolidation of flights in the coming months is no different to what the airlines have been doing with their flights to Gibraltar and indeed to airports worldwide during these difficult times.

New care home ESTEPONA Council is inviting shows of interest in building and managing a residential centre for the elderly on an 11,000 square metre plot of unused land in the Guadalmansa part of the municipality.

Two projects are envisaged, one for the construction of three blocks of sheltered housing for 156 elderly people who are fit and do not need special care and a second, a residential unit to house 158 pensioners.

Places may be offered to those who need long-term care or some form of temporary respite for convalescence and the group operating the complex will need to provide 24-hour care as well as health services.

It is envisaged that the centre which will offer a number of support services such as hairdressing, occupational therapy, cafeteria and lounge will be opened within the next three years.

Dancing with the stars INTERVIEW

by Damon Mitchell

OVER the years the Costa del Sol has been home to many entertainers and EWN was lucky enough to speak exclusively to Sheena Cochrane who lives in Mijas Costa and was a professional dancer who managed to travel the world performing with some massive names in the process.

Sheena has released a book named ‘Exit Stage right’ which is available as an e-book on Kindle and paperback on Amazon.

“I began dancing when my mother suggested I do something to use up my excess energy. I wasn’t the best at school and decided maybe I could make my future from dancing.

“I was a day student at the Royal Ballet but realising that there were many more girls better than me, I decided that I would be better using my talent as a means to travel the world.”

And so, she did, she travelled to the Middle East, the Far East, the Caribbean, Bahamas, Mexico, South America and many more.

From there Sheena became one of the famous 60’s Tiller Girls and would ap-

competition with Liverpool Football Club.

Ken Dodd was the comedian of the show and made an unlikely referee. The team were shocked at how much stamina

Sheena, or ‘Pepper’ as she became known in showbiz circles went on to perform across the pond in none other than the showbiz capital of the world Las Vegas.

Whilst there she crossed paths with people such as Cary Grant, Jerry Lewis, Liberace, Shirley MacLaine, Cher, Tony Bennett, Paul Anka, to name but a few.

She also appeared as an extra in the film ‘Chisum’ with John Wayne, which was filmed in Durango, Mexico.

When asked why she gave up such an exciting lifestyle she said “It’s a young profession and I gave up professional dancing in 1981. I was given the option of becoming a dance teacher, but I enjoyed dancing more than teaching.”

Would she suggest dancing for the younger generation? “Even if not as a profession, dancing gives you posture and is amazing overall exercise for the body.”

KEEPING AN EYE: The four new horses will patrol the streets of Marbella.

FOUNDED in the 15th century, the Yeguada de la Cartuja - Hierro del Bocado in Jerez de la Frontera is the home of Spain’s most important reserve of Carthusian horses and four are joining the Marbella Local Police Force.

The Marbella Cavalry now has 14 horses and nine riders so that any one time there are potentially nine police horses available to patrol the streets of the city.

They are considered an emblem of

Marbella and are useful in keeping an eye on what is going on in the tourist areas and beaches, as well as controlling traffic and a conscious decision to use this breed was made due to their nature and temperament.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the mounted police in 2021, the council intends to develop a programme of social activities and to promote both the Jerez stud farm and Spanish horses in general.

New residency Status THIS new residency sits in between the standard EU-citizens and the non-EU citizens status, and will have its own terms and conditions, in particular in respect to duration of the residency cards (and notably the introduction of a photo on the card).

These are the most important points to consider: • UK nationals resident in Spain prior to December 31, 2020 will have the rights to residency, freedom of movement and Social Security as recognised in the W ithdrawal Agreement. Applicants for residency after this end date may have others, either those recognised in a future agreement between the EU and the UK or, by default, those recognised by existing Spanish laws and those that may be approved.

• UK nationals (and their family members) will not have to apply for a new status but will be entitled to receive a

card that confirms their status as beneficiaries of the rights contained in the W ithdrawal Agreement.

• The Instruction refers to various ‘statuses’ and procedures: o Applicants who have been residents for a period above five years and do have a per manent residency certificate, will submit their applications at the Police Station, receiving a per manent 10-year residency card. o Applicants who have been residents for a period above five years but do NOT have a permanent residency certificate, will submit their applications at the Police Station, receiving

a per manent 10-year residency card. o Applicants who have been residents for a period under five years but do have a residency certificate, will submit their applications at the Police Station, receiving a ‘temporary’ five-year residency card. o Applicants who do not have a residency certificate will submit their applications initially at the Foreigners Office and once approved, they will need to request the issuance of their fiveyear validity cards at the Police Station.

• UK nationals arriving in Spain after the end date of the transition period (December 31, 2020), will have three months to apply for residency. Where not, the authorities reserve their right to grant extra time to submit the application.

• Temporary or extended absences from Spain will not affect the rights under the residency cards.

Finally, further to the end of the transition period, Spanish authorities may request that British citizens apply for residency under the various options granted to any non-EU does (nonlucrative residency permits, self-employed work authorisation and residency permit etc).

Smoking and partying, facts or conspiracy?

Political Viewpoint from Spain

by DAMON MITCHELL THE Spanish government has just imposed a no smoking ban in public if you cannot maintain two-metre social distancing in another harsh blow to the night clubs and bars as they will also have to close at 1am.

Meanwhile, the state’s machinery seems to work to keep us in a constant condition of fear; feeding us constantly rising figures of infected people with Covid-19 and warning us through the media with propaganda messages that it’s due to our ‘irresponsible behaviour’ for meeting up with our families, or the younger generation partying all night long.

However, this ‘irresponsible behaviour’ never seems to include our workplaces, business meetings and public transport which is heavily used

in the main cities.

Nevertheless, many doctors are very critical of the way the media and the government provide us with the figures. The figures are actually quite complicated for the general public to understand. To break it down to basics; as an example, last March and early April in Andalucia, whose communi-

ty has the largest population in Spain, had saturated ICUs. Today’s figures show us that only 21 people are in the Andalucian ICUs with Covid.

Large parts of the population are also being screened with PCR tests, and although the figures that are published every day may seem worrying, in fact, they might be positive

news. Ninety per cent of the people who are positive are asymptomatic, in other words, healthy people, therefore, it’s logical to think we are clearly on the path to herd immunity, and as a result, a vaccine wouldn’t be necessary.

Moreover, the Centro de Coordinacion de Alertas y Emergencias Sanitarias, led by Fer-

nando Simon is also being questioned by Dr Serafin Romero, the president of the Orginazacion Medica Colegial, the body which represents the professional association of doctors, who have demanded an independent evaluation of the management of the epidemic.

Many theories have grown over the last couple of weeks regarding people who have challenged the mainstream news which the media and government have not hesitated to classify as conspiracy theories, a method often used to dismiss uncomfortable views.

We must remember that these disqualifications and the support from the media have happened before. Certainly, some theories have no basis, but on the other hand, many of them are presented by doctors and biologists which are being treated in the same way.

Three Painters complex AS long ago as 2008, the Three Painters Hotel Complex in Benalmadena was closed and abandoned after the properties were placed into Administration.

Since that time, the buildings have attracted squatters and the council continues to try to resolve the situation. The most recent attempt has seen a major review of the problem which was discussed at a round table meeting chaired by the mayor and attended by various councillors, Local Police, members of opposition parties and council workers at the town hall. The overall situation is that there are 26 squatters made up of six different nationalities and there is no evidence of illegal activity, whilst the three main buildings are still structurally sound. It was concluded that this is a problem of a social nature with a number of vulnerable people needing assistance especially as the entire complex needs to be properly disinfected and sanitised. It will cost in excess of €100,000 to do this and in theory the work should be undertaken by the Administrators, although in reality the council has issued orders for work to be undertaken on three previous occasions without result.

The matter is ongoing but the council wants to find a way to empty the buildings and ensure that they are secure, whilst recognising that those living there are in need of help not condemnation.

Benalmádena Practice Range Open THE councillor for Sports, Joaquín Villazón, visited Benalmadena Golf to hold a meeting with those responsible for the golf school.

Benalmadena Golf is a municipal facility dedicated to this sport, where all audiences can visit and practise. The most recent changes have been the replacement of all balls with 10,000 premium practice balls and the upper floor has also been reopened with new rugs on the tee-line, each with a set of chill-out furniture to enjoy your drink and food while hitting your balls.

GOLF SCHOOL: The councillor and coaches.

“We would love for people to understand the concept as a bowling alley: renting your space for €6, a price that includes balls, clubs and even a drink. All this in the open air, in con-

tact with nature and watching the sea: I think it is magical,” said golf coach Javier Varela. Night golf has also been reopened on the course, allowing practice until 11pm.

Safe Tourism being practised EVEN though there are fears of another spike in coronavirus, municipalities throughout the Costa del Sol are working hard to ensure that residents and visitors are safeguarded. The Institute for Spanish Tourism Quality (ICTE), issues a Safe Tourism Certificate and the latest recipient is the town of Benalmadena and is valid for one year. It guarantees the facilities in the town have been checked and are in accordance with government advice on the prevention of health risks in the face of the pandemic. “This certification is another example of the effort made by the council to ensure tourists know that Benalmadena is a safe destination," said the mayor.

NEWS

NEWS Act responsibly BENALMADENA mayor, Victor Navas has appealed to residents and visitors to the town to take serious note of the new health and safety regulations instituted by the Junta de Andalucia.

He recognises that this will have a financial knock-on for those involved in the hospitality industry with the closing of nightclubs and the fact that restaurants must close by 1am, but believes that this is important in the fight against the rise in the pandemic.

In praising those in the hospitality business who were observing all of the regulations, he also pointed out that there were some who were not and because of this and the need to protect particularly younger people, all must suffer. Having just won the Safe Tourism Award, the municipality is well-placed to contain the virus provided that everyone observes social distancing, wears masks and takes action if they fear that they have been infected.

Better lighting A BUDGET of €6,160 has been accepted in order to upgrade lighting in the Idaira Park in Arroyo de la Miel according to Benalmadena councillor Salvador Rodríguez.

Work has been undertaken to adapt 22 lamp posts to allow the replacement of sodium bulbs with LED lights which should improve the lighting in the park considerably.

SOCIAL AID

FUENGIROLA allocates more than €10 million to aid for the economic and social reactivation of the town.

The bases for the granting of these amounts have been published in the Offi-

cial Gazette of the Province of Malaga (BOPMA), as announced by the town mayor, Ana Mula, accompanied by the mayor of the Treasury, Rosana Bravo.

“From the town council we have made an impor-

tant effort to launch an Economic and Social Reactivation Plan that will be a breath of fresh air for our businesses and for vulnerable families. To make them a reality now, we had to readjust the budget for 2020.

“In addition, we will continue to review the accounts and modify them, in case it is necessary to expand the allocation of this plan, because we do not want any Fuengiroleño affected by the Covid-19 crisis to remain without aid.”

The requirements for this plan are the following: Be up-to-date with payment of all tax obligations and Social Security and have no debt with the local administration.

The self-employed: Must have to carry out the activity as self-employed workers in Fuengirola and they must have had to suspend the activity due to Covid-19.

Taste of Asia TWO Spanish food manufacturers have come to an agreement whereby Pastas Gallo will take over Asian ready-made food producer, Barcelona based Ta-Tung for an undisclosed sum.

Created in 1980, latest annual turnover for Ta-Tung was €15 million and it is expected that the new owners, who are retaining the founder Kav Ly will look to expand the business by producing more meals in the Pastas Gallo kitchens.

New targets for increased expansion will be France and Portugal and food will be based on Chinese, Japanese and Thai cuisine.

Gold in the spotlight GOLD has been a very volatile metal which has seen significant rises and falls, but during times of stock exchange and financial difficulty, it has generally proven to be a good investment provided that you know what you are do­ ing.

Gold is normally priced per ounce but prices quoted on bul­ lion exchange sites are an aver­ age between buying price and selling price and dealers also look to make a mark up when trading.

Many people think that the best way to invest in small vol­ umes of gold is by purchasing gold coins and to a great extent that is absolutely true, but al­ ways remember there are two types of gold coin issued by banks and governments through­ out the world.

IT HELPS: Prime Minister Sánchez needs support of all political parties.

WHEN you run a minority government it is often nec­ essary to take note that if you want to push through a controversial idea that it helps to have opposition parties with you.

The Spanish government needs money and needs it quickly, so it recognised that many councils throughout the country have significant surpluses in their accounts which are estimated at to­ talling more than €20 billion.

Perhaps rather hurriedly the Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez managed to enter into an agreement with Spanish Federation of Mu­ nicipalities and Provinces

(FEMP) by the narrowest of margins to borrow €14 bil­ lion over a period of 10 years, which has since been increased to 15 years.

In return, those municipal­ ities lending the money will be invited to share €5 billion to use in efforts to support their residents following the Covid­19 pandemic.

Mayors all over Spain who are not aligned to the PSOE or Podemos parties are in revolt against the plan as they argue that they should be able to use their funds to aid their population and it appears more than likely that plan is doomed to failure.

Properties in Spain the banks couldn’t.

Variable rate mortgages in Spain were generally set against the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (Euribor) which meant that as it reduced, so should the mortgage rate but the introduction of a floor clause meant that the reduction would stop at a certain rate and could not fall further.

Eventually, this was declared illegal across Spanish and European courts and now those who paid too high a rate of interest are successfully suing the banks for repayment and floor clauses have been removed.

Added to this is a decision made by the courts which means that if a bank in­

Credit rating reduced CREDIT AGENCY STANDARD and Poor Global has reduced its rating of Spanish super­ market chain Dia to CC from CCC as it believes that there may be long term liquidity problems despite the compa­ ny returning to a small profit.

In 2019, Russian business­ men Mijaíl Fridman who owns the bulk of shares start­ ed transferring its assets to a Luxembourg based company Letter One. Now because LetterOne has approached holders of in­ terest­bearing bonds to pur­ chase them, there is a fear that there will be insufficient funds available to repay the principal when it falls due.

Possibly good news IN his first meeting with Boris Johnson, new Irish Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Micheál Martin indicated that there appeared to be a very good chance of ne­ gotiating an acceptable Brexit deal which would be both tariff and quota free.

It appears from his statement to the press that both sides believe that there has been suffi­ cient damage to the eco­ nomic system throughout Europe caused by the pan­ demic and that another caused by a No Deal Brexit would only make matters worse for the UK and the members of the European Union. troduces certain mortgage set up fees, then it can no longer charge all of the cost to the customer.

With the pandemic, building was put on hold and now it has resumed there is a lot of property near to completion.

With cheaper mortgages and devel­ opers anxious to sell, provided you have a good lawyer and access to funds, then now is certainly a good time to consider a Spanish property purchase.

World’s fourth richest man

by John Smith N O W i n h i s 9 0 t h y e a r, American billionaire, Warren Buffett, said to be the fourth richest man in the world is still active and his eyes are firmly set on the Spanish luxury property market.

Last year, his Berkshire Hath­ away HomeServices set up in Spain and now they are looking to ex­ pand the property business with the help of Spanish consultancy Larvia with the intention of moving into the Balearics and Costa del Sol. To this end, they have just taken

Warren Buffett accompanies Glenn Close.

Industrial sector growth THE latest figures from the National Institute of Statistics (INE) show that although industr y in Spain is showing definite signs of recovery,

just three sectors actually saw growth in June 2020.

In essence, cigarette and drug manufacturers saw very little problem

with the lockdown as both tobacconists and pharmacies were allowed to remain open for the whole of the pandemic and therefore saw

business rise in the fist half of the year.

The other sector that has grown relates to computers, technology and electronics.

over Marbella­based Value Added Property, which currently pro­ motes top quality new build prop­ erties as well as offering a com­ plete home service once the client has purchased.

Now renamed Berkshire Hath­ away HomeServices Marbella it can soon expect to be part of a much larger group with offices not just in Barcelona and Madrid but in Mallorca, Costa Blanca and Costa Brava which appear to be next on the acquisition list.

With a reputation for knowing how to invest his wealth, the en­ trepreneur has seen his estate agency empire grow in the USA over the past six years to become one of the largest in that country with more than 1,400 offices.

This move into Spain suggests that he has considerable confi­ dence in its long­term viability and attraction for both successful Spanish buyers but also foreigners looking for a second home or a new country to settle in.

In addition, it seems that his company will be trying to woo commercial investors for either rental or resale.

BUSINESS EXTRA Debenhams HIGH Street department store Debenhams is closing 17 of its shops and making 2,500 members of staff redundant as rumours abound that it may be close to going into Administration, although it says that opened properties are performing well.

US Tariffs SPAIN maintains that the US government is acting unreasonably by maintaining punitive tariffs against Spanish exports of mainly agro-food products, even though it and the European Union have agreed to reduce support for Airbus industries.

Drop out A NUMBER of UK restaurants in tourist areas are pulling out of the government backed Eat Out programme because they say that they are busy anyway and that so many diners are causing problems with delays and poor social distancing.

Forget the Alamo But Remember Cantina Mexicana in Benalmadena DESPITE the fact that some people in the hospitality industry on the Costa del Sol are worried about the future, the directors of Metro Grupo have just opened Benalmadena Marina’s newest restaurant Cantina Mexicana.

Director of Food and Executive Chef, Lawrence Otterburn is proud of the menu that has been created and delighted that the restaurant has been packed with diners from day one and it’s no wonder as it offers good, imaginative food at sensible prices and the much appreciated high standard of service expected from all of the group’s properties.

There’s Mexican food and then there’s Mexicana Cantina food which is intended to stand out in what is a competitive market place, so whilst you will find all of the names that you expect such as Nachos, Fajitas, Burritos, Tacos and Quesadillas, all benefit from the attention that is made to preparing them.

The taco shells are made in the kitchen not bought in and running through most of the dishes is a not too

hot special Mexican spice which was created specially by Lawrence and his team which is a bit Cajun and a lot Mexican as it incorporates chocolate dust as well as a number of secret spices.

Whilst everyone is used to sharing Nachos, in Cantina Mexicana you can also enjoying a sharing plate of Soft Tacos consisting of nine tacos and three toppings.

There are no cheap cuts of meat disguised by sauces, just quality slow cooked and specially chosen cuts of beef, chicken and pork but there is something for everyone as there are numerous vegetarian versions of each favourite and a vegan bean burger plus a selection of salads including a delicious seafood ceviche.

If you prefer ribs,

steak or chilli then you won’t be disappointed and with those meats, you can enjoy a selection of side orders including rice and black beans, corn on the cob, sweet potato wedges and much more.

Children aren’t forgotten with a choice of five dishes at very sensible prices, then there are the desserts although it might be advisable to steer them away from the Margarita cheesecake as it contains what it says on the label.

Who doesn’t enjoy a cocktail and you won’t be disappointed with the selection, but keep your eyes open for the Margarita menu with five different choices, all of which are guaranteed to be uniquely delicious and as a special

opening offer, guests will be invited to try a tequila shot with the compliments of the management.

There’s a good wine list, plenty of choice of beers and a selection of ‘mocktails’ for those who want to feel decadent without actually consuming alcohol.

The Cantina Mexicana is in the refurbished Coast restaurant next to Kaleido in the very popular Benalmadena Marina and to see the entire delicious menu or make a reservation online for the restaurant which has seating inside and out, visit www.cantinapuertomarina. com.

Diners pack the restaurant.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

20 - 26 August 2020

EWN 35

I’m up to here with it all!

THIS week I truly don’t know where to start. Like most of us, I’m actually up to here with all of it.

Masks, viruses, black, white, conspiracies, racism, religion, woke, fake news, kneeling, left wing, right wing, immigrants, BLM, knifings, shootings, grooming, lockdowns, offending, demos, diversity, integration, terrorists, politicians, statues, hatred, lies, hypocrisy and Uncle Tom Cobley et al. What was that about halting the planet and jumping off?

Lead me to it! However, one thing this ol’ boy has never been guilty of is burying his head in the sand. So contrary to last week’s dissenters, I am in fact fully aware that this whole chaotic mishmash could well be an NWO conspiracy. I actually began to suspect something of this ilk in the early 60’s when a good friend of mine, far more astute than I, often stated that the world was not run by governments, but in his words, controlled by the ‘Twelve men of Wall Street.’

Nothing much has changed since, except that those he referred to are now spread much further afield than a single street in New York! Unfortunately, it appears to me that the whole plot could now be reaching some sort of climax. I fear the con-

NEW STATUE: Shame she hadn’t actually invented the mobile phone. spirator’s next step will be an unprecedented escalation of world violence and bloodshed.

When the dust finally settles, and assuming we are not regaled by the new Messiah, a brainwashed and weary human race, will welcome with relief the peace and order offered by those who control the NWO, and the predictions of George Orwell and his ilk

will ultimately come to pass - Job done.

I did notice this week that places of entertainment and non-essential businesses in the UK were allowed to reopen again, after being ‘inexplicably’ closed a fortnight ago (remember my Eid appeasement piece!?). To me however, the event that took the whole tin was the erection in East London of the nine foot statue depicting a young black girl

using her mobile phone! So they want to tear down statues of our great statesmen and historical figures and in their place erect someone using a phone! It would be a little more acceptable if she’d have actually invented the device. Some chance!

I also discovered that the widow of George Floyd, who ‘cried bitterly’ at his funeral, had not in fact seen him for six years.

During that same period he had apparently also not paid a single penny in child maintenance. However in a move that just about sums up the priorities of today’s ‘woke’ brigade, she has actually received over $14 million (yep) in donations from ‘sympathetic well-wishers.’ No wonder the brothers could afford those new suits they all looked so uncomfortable in during the memorial ceremonies. What a result they’ve all had. I wonder how much of it has been donated to the charities of people that could truly benefit from it. Not a great deal I’ll be bound.

Don’t forget you can now pick up my radio programme on Alexa and Google.

Tune in for Leapy’s ‘alter ego’!

What’s it all about?

LAMBE-MURPHY

PRETTY CHILLED: It’s a beach life. bella, I tend to wear shorts most of the time, and polo shirts, all of the time. Beach life, is a pretty chilled existence. It made me think, why do we need so much stuff?

Life in a place like Marbella is all about excess. Every second car is a Rolls-Royce, 20 grand handbags are considered normal, Balthazars of vintage Champagne at lunch, why not? But really, what it’s all about?

I think lockdown has changed us all, in so many ways. I now have no desire to shop for things I once felt I needed. In fact, I’ve realised that we must slow things down. The demand for designer goods, may be delivered rather differently as we move forward. Certain houses have even stopped production. What will those with limitless credit cards do to pass the days?

One idea, is to stop and think. If you shop properly, your choices will last. If you buy quality, over disposable trends, you will hold on to them, and they will be timeless. We must remember that life is cyclical, and everything comes around again. The next generation will feel they have discovered it. Let them.

And as life keeps going, this current strange phase shall pass.

It’s how we move forward that counts, and what we count as important that matters.

‘But he works hard and smells nice’ MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man SORRY there was no column last week. It’s not that I wasn’t grumpy, it’s just getting harder to be amusingly grumpy as opposed to just really angry and that was me last week.

I’m not much better this week but here are some of the things that set me off. Social distancing - I know we have to do it but I loved the way folks greeted each other here in Spain. I prefer kissing people on the cheek instead of touching elbows. I like wearing cologne and being close enough for people to say I smell nice. I know that might sound weird but it’s something my late mother always said to me. It was a standing joke. When Mrs S used to call her and moan about me for some reason or another, which I know is hard to believe, my Mum would always listen with a sympathetic ear and then say ‘yes but he does work hard and he always smells nice.’

Once again the British government sprung a surprise quarantine period on

GAVIN YOU know you’re getting old when the clothes you used to wear, come back into fashion. I noticed it a few years ago, when almost everyone was strutting around with their knees on display, due to purposely designed rips in their jeans.

A look that by now, really is past its sell-by-date, and should be forgotten. Yes, for those who follow fashion, you’re still deeply trapped in the 1990s - a period of time that style seems to have escaped.

In Puerto Banús, on Tuesday morning, I stopped by Gucci and Dsquared2 to see what’s happening. My style tends to be very preppy, if not classic, so as I skimmed the rails of endless neon colours, sportswear and ugly, chunky trainers, I found nothing to suit.

At Ralph Lauren, I was tempted, but then realised, I already have most of the items I was considering.

Thankfully my AmEx remained unused.

I had a glass of rosé at Sinatra’s Bar, a place I used to hop all over, back in the aforementioned 90’s. It made me think of how life has changed. Back then, I liked to party all day and all night.

My life choices were pretty hectic, if not ill advised at times. I realised I was the one who used to ‘over shop’ for designer goods, that I disposed of as quickly as I’d purchased them. I guess I was one of the original ‘fast fashion’ crew.

I would wear something once, or perhaps twice, before deciding it was finished. That’s the trouble with being photographed regularly, clothes need to be worn just a few times. I found myself addicted to Dolce & Gabbana one week, Etro the next. And as one designer became my favourite, the last usually went to charity, or to friends who wanted certain pieces. My shopping habit, like my life, was out of control.

Dressing for dinner, I stared into my wardrobes, full of clothes that I rarely wear. Since relocating to Mar-

20 - 26 August 2020

the folks returning from France and other places. This, of course, made thousands of people try and return home quickly and, in many cases, cut short their only holiday this year. I’m sure many had scrimped and saved so they could have a bit of quality family time together and try to forget, for a short time, about the chaos in the world. What did they find?

Every airline, ferry and Eurostar immediately at least doubled their prices.

Yeah I know it’s business but it’s also taking advantage of people that, in many cases, just can’t afford to pay it. If they’d stayed and seen their holiday through to the end they will have to do two week’s quarantine and possibly not get paid and, in some cases even lose their job.

They aren’t covered by travel insurance because their trips hadn’t been cancelled and they were returning by choice. The joke is people returning to the UK from Spain have reported that no-one checked on them through their quarantine. Some didn’t even fill in forms and I’ve even heard of people that went back for a few days and returned without being challenged by anyone.

I’ll be discussing this and more with Bill Padley on Talk Radio Europe tomorrow at 11.30. Feel free to tune in.

POST-LOCKDOWN BABY BOOM & DIVORCE TSUNAMI

WITH both a baby boom and divorce tsunami predicted postl o c k d o w n , w i l l t h e re a l s o b e a publishing explosion along the lines of: ‘My Lockdown Novel’, in which ‘I discover the Real Meaning of Life’? The crisis probably won’t be quite as fruitful for political memoirs and diaries, though. ‘Monday: stayed i n d o o r s . Tu e s d a y : s t a y e d i n doors. Wednesday...’

And sales of classic novels are up, many featuring tales of plagues, viruses and diseases. And people are reading more as a consequence of lockdown: a third of older adults and half of 18 to 24-year-olds.

But whatever the genre, authors often face the risk of unwittingly basing a fictional character on someone identifiable. The crime writer Simon Brett, who recently published his 107th book: The Clutter Corpse (I’m already on my 10th, so still a way to go!) had this problem with his very first: Cast, in Order of Disappearance, which he set in Goring-onThames with a victim called Marius.

MARBELLA MOMENTS

BY NICOLE KING WHEN something sounds too good to be true it usually is. Lately I’ve received many enquiries; all seem to be about scams.

Then today I myself received a message offering me a longterm rent in a very exclusive area at a very reasonable price. At first I didn’t think anything was amiss.

Initially they asked me questions about my personal validity as a possible tenant. In reply I confirmed the basics and then they replied that they were a middle-aged couple, now living in Bilbao and renting the place out personally, with special conditions.

The message continued that they’d let me know how to proceed if I was still interested.

Alarm bells rang and I remembered having had this experience when in South Carolina also looking for rental properties.

Pyramides the magnificent gilded bronze equestrian statue of... BERYL of ARC. And as for DI Barbara Forster, a character in my later crime thriller series (or ‘DI Barbara’ as one of my Audible reviewers calls her), she’s a flinty and canny detective with more skeletons in her closet than an orthopaedic specialist...

Nora Johnson’s psychological crime thrillers No Safe Place, Betrayal, The Girl in the Woods, The Girl in the Red Dress, No Way Back, Landscape of Lies, Retribution, Soul Stealer, The De Clerambault Code (www.nora-johnson. net) available online as eBook (€0.99; £0.99), Apple Books, paperback and audiobook.

All profits to Costa del Sol Cudeca cancer charity.

However, the publisher worried that the actor Marius Goring might believe this referred to him and sue, so asked Brett to change the location. One of Brett’s novelist friends similarly had to make a late change to a character’s name, using ‘find and replace’ to change all Davids to Kevins. “This worked fine,” Brett says, “until readers got to the point when someone talked about visiting Florence and seeing Michelangelo’s famous statue of Kevin.”

I had the same experience with an early novel. I likewise had to change a character’s name, using ‘find and replace’ to change all Joans to Beryls (don’t ask!).

Like in Brett’s case, this worked well until you got to the bit about a key character’s trip to Paris and coming across in the Place des

Alarm bells started ringing TO BE D O O G O IF IT’S TO

TRUE,

IT USUALLY IS People contact you and engage you in a chit chat, make you feel comfortable, firstly by asking questions to ensure you’re legit; making us less likely to suspect any wrong doing by them;

apparently. Then comes either the “you can’t see it inside, or need upfront payment or lease signing upfront” to take advantage of the amazing opportunity. If this happens to you, do like I

did - email the Local Police to let them know: marbella.participa cion@policia.es and hopefully avoid someone else falling into the trap.

Similar alarm bells ring when I get aggressive phone calls from people claiming to be from law firms or regarding your bank card that demand you confirm your NIE before they can give you the message.

How do we know who they are? Always demand notification in writing. Frequently the more official and the more belligerent they are the more you can bet your bottom dollar they don’t have a leg to stand on; they are relying on the scare tactic and your fear of the unknown.

On this note I came to question the quality of my Spanish just recently. I had three phone calls with a car mechanic and two personal visits, after which I still had no idea what was going on.

At first I thought it was my lack of

www.nicoleking.es • www.zerohero.es

familiarity with the vocabulary related to a car engine, but I came to realise that they just didn’t want me to understand.

When they said that I had to pay before getting an invoice I knew for a matter of fact this was not the case and also knew for a fact that my Spanish hadn’t been the issue.

I insisted on an invoice and then a written quotation to see what else they said needing fixing. When the quote arrived things were repeated that were on the original invoice; my suspicions were again confirmed.

Fortunately thanks to my Linea Directa policy even though I wasn’t really covered for it, as my car had been towed there following a breakdown and I dared calling them to tell them what was happening, they sent a tow truck, free of charge and took it to another garage for me.

Fingers crossed with this one!!

Watch this space.

DEAR Euro Weekly News, I don’t know if other people find this strange or if it’s just me! I shop mostly at Mercadona in La Cala where I live.

When we went into lockdown and were only able to go out for food and medication I found Mercadona very good with the rules. When going there during the lockdown there was only one person supposed to shop per household. Before you could go into the store there was someone to make sure you had gloves and you were keeping your distance.

This also seems to be the case at Aldi. In Mercadona someone was at the lifts making sure only one person at a time used each of the two lifts going in and out. Also, the staff at the tills were stopping people from getting close while putting their shopping on the belts and paying for it. All very good and well organised to me.

I really can’t understand why this is not in place now the store is so much busier than then! They now seem to let whole families in at once as happened before lockdown, this makes it so hard to distance. I think two people per household is enough as it is not a very big store. Also, there are no staff telling people about the rules regarding the lifts or to keep their distance. I have found the customers are left to do this. Surely during this busy time, it should be there are more staff doing these things. After all, we are still in a pandemic! Hopefully, it won’t be long till we get back to going shopping with just the locals. Would like to know if anyone else thinks this way or could it just be me?

Yours sincerely June Butler

OUR VIEW From loved to loathed ISN’T it about time we cut Harry and Meghan some slack?

If we don’t agree with what they are doing then just leave them alone. As a young couple with many advisors surely they have all the interference they need.

Maybe they just want to do their own thing and create their own lives as many young couples do.

Also, if you have an inheritance from our Mother, Father, wealthy Granny, why should they not accept their generosity?

In the beginning, it was the stuff of fairy tales, a girl from a far-off land meets a handsome foreign prince and falls deeply in love. After a whirlwind romance they marry… however, the evil press is intent on destroying them.

Sure, Meghan came from a dysfunctional family who she has had problems with and is estranged from. Are the Royal family normal? I think not.

Surely the world now is not so judgemental as the people in those fairy tales? A Prince cannot marry an entertainer, a girl from a troubled family, with less money or even... a different colour of skin?

Have we not progressed as a people to celebrate diversity, to applaud the underdog, to believe in true love?

Any man would protect his wife and lash out against those who tried to belittle her, hurt her or bad mouth her. Why should that mean that he is under the thumb or less of a man? Surely that makes him more of a man?

Let the couple move to California if that is what they wish, they are doing you no harm.

If you wish to see the back of them and only have bad to speak of them now, here is your chance to rid yourself of the energy it takes you to feel so angry or jealous or hard done by.

Silent majority Dear Euro Weekly News, This is the first time I have ever responded to anything in the Euro Weekly, but the letter from ‘angry old Brit’ Alan Doig was so exactly what I had already said that I felt I had to respond.

Your ‘survey’ on Leapy Lee was a complete waste of time. You say 74 per cent, but 74 per cent of what? The number of people who bothered to respond of course, and who would respond? The people who agree with Leapy Lee, who are quite obviously in agreement with his obnoxious views.

It is sad that a section of the Brits, who seem to make up his bigoted followers, are being represented by you as typical of the rest of us, who are not racist, not narrow-minded, and definitely not in favour of leaving Europe.

This nasty little troll obviously loves to air his views without any criticism, but for heaven’s sake don’t think that we (the silent majority) are in agreement. We live here because we want to be here, and consider ourselves to be Europeans. Does anybody know who Leapy Lee is? It is not clear why his views should be put forward, but I wonder if it is a deliberate way of invoking a response for your letters column.

Anyway, good for you Alan Doig, for answering and expressing our views so clearly.

Bit muddled Dear Euro Weekly News, Barry Duke seems to have become a bit muddled in this week’s column. He starts out by savaging Norman Tebbit and Tebbit’s remark about his father ‘getting on his bike’ to look for work in the 30’s.

Then he moves on to condemn the present UK government and the ‘grotesque nanny state.’ Barry is appalled and believes ‘folk should take personal responsibility,’ ‘nowadays self-control and the exercise of willpower are outdated concepts,’ ‘millions have been conditioned to believe that it’s the job of bureaucrats to manipulate every aspect of their lives.’

In other words, Barry believes in personal responsibility, self-control, freedom of the individual and minimal state intervention in the lives of private individuals. All good, solid Tory values.

Sounds like Barry has a lot more in common with Norman Tebbit’s dad - than he might care to admit.

Sincerely, Jim Shanks

Expats, the Mother Country needs you!

I find that among us expats our attitude is completely different to those back home, we have taken risks and changed our lives and our place of abode, and most of it wasn’t easy!

I have little in common now with people back in the UK, I’ve been here over 25 years.

I love Britain, though today I’m ashamed of how it has become, due to relaxed parenting and not being accountable for blame.

Would I return to ‘help out’ ...

If it was appreciated, yes.

Spanish Doctors on the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca Defend the Ban on Smoking in the Street Without Distancing and the Closure of Nightclubs The fact is the new law makes it possible to smoke in public. Before the rule was very clear. You are only allowed to remove mask for eating and drinking... so not for smoking, they could fine you for that. The new law allowes you to smoke in public if you can keep 1.5-metre distance to others. So you are now allowed to remove mask and smoke in public.

IN THE MOOD FOR DANCING JOHN

SHARPLES

IT was March in 1997 when I met the Nolan sisters. I was still in the UK working my final event at the holiday camp in Southport. The event was a 70’s weekend.

Boney M had played the main ballroom in the afternoon and the place was electric.

We had an Abba tribute the night before and tonight the Nolans were going to perform.

Everyone was really excited.

The Nolans had major hits in the late 70’s and early 80’s and there were members of their fan club staying for the weekend, so expectations were high.

The sound crew turned up in the late afternoon to set up in the cabaret bar and I met the girls during the sound check.

They were so lovely. Great fun to chat with and we had a re-

NOLAN SISTERS: They were so kind and fun to be around. ally good laugh.

That evening, the time came for me to introduce them onto the stage. There was a play on and I proudly stepped out and announced “Ladies and Gentlemen. I hope that you are all in the

mood for dancing because it’s time to meet the fabulous Nolan Sisters.

Nothing happened. No music, no Nolan Sisters. I went into the dressing room where there was a big discussion going on with the sound man.

Something had gone wrong with their DAT tape and all the backing tracks were on it.

They didn’t have the music in any other form.

There I was with a room full of a thousand people and they couldn’t go on stage be-

cause their sound had broken down. I was mortified. I didn’t want to be the one to go out on stage and get lynched.

The girls were so apologetic but there was nothing they could do. Then I had an idea.

In my CD collection I had a copy of the Nolan Sisters’ greatest hits. I asked them if they thought they could get away with miming. They were a little unsure, but after a bit of begging they agreed to do it.

They went from hit to hit without a fault and the audience loved them. To this day I have never told anyone about it. The audience had no idea that they were completely miming and they got me out of a very sticky situation.

I tell you this story because they are in the news at the moment. Two of the girls are suffering with cancer. I hope that all goes well for them.

They were so kind and fun to be around. Not many acts would have done what they did and I am eternally grateful to them for doing it.

TIME OUT Cartoon by Audrey Quinton www.audreyq.co.uk

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS ARIES (March 21 - April 20) The importance of making the right choices is clear to you. Where to begin seems to be a sticking point.

Starting by taking away the things you really do not want is essential.

Be practical and logical. This is not a time for sentiment or muddled thinking. Although you will need patience in abundance as the week progresses, take one thing at a time.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Although you have the feeling that younger members of the family are not interested in your point of view, this is far off the mark. They, in their inexperience, may not know how best to approach you in this regard.

Getting out family photos or starting a family tree with them can be both entertaining and fascinating.

Altogether, this week is for the generations to come together and find a common cause. Teenagers seeking answers should ask grandparents.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) The prospect of travel sets you thinking. Have you been spending too much time considering others?

Should you take steps now to get time alone then these plans cannot be changed. This will save any discussions as to how or when.

Taking charge of your own time is liberating. Someone has to make the decisions, why not you?

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) With the best will in the world it is only possible to spend money once.

We are all guilty of trying to get over this truth, but it never works. Have patience when looking to improve your possessions. There are more pressing needs and these, in the long run, prove more satisfying.

assume that all will go according to plan. Having been forewarned, you will have plan B ready. Take a suggestion to make fast money with a pinch of salt.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is an important week for both your physical health and your mental well-being. Because of things beyond your control, you may have let your diet or exercise slip. Having sorted out any problems that sidetracked you, there is a need to be particularly strong. There is no soft option when it comes to self-control but the rewards are amazing.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) This is a week to let yourself be heard. Be it writing letters, sending emails, making phone calls or making conversation, you must express yourself. Being honest and outspoken need not mean upsetting people. Think of the way that a child gets its point over. Eye contact, simple speech, humour, a smile: all will help to oil the wheels of achievement.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Having problems with that new computer? Fallen foul of the new mobile phone? That wouldn’t be surprising this week. As you are prone to mistakes and misunderstandings, try not to tackle anything vital. Be sure to get plenty of sleep and fresh air. Someone who is supposed to help you proves more of an irritation than a saviour, and you may wish that you had stuck with the manual. This is a week to try to keep life simple.

Going over old ground is counterproductive. There is nothing to be gained from repeating methods that did not work in the past. If it is not possible to find a fresh approach then seek the opinions of others.

You do not need experience of a situation to be able to come up with a useful idea. Staying in the same old rut has not served you in the past and will not do so now. Get a few days away and it will help to free your thoughts.

You are in for a bit of a bumpy ride this week. Some things will go well but other outcomes can be quirky. People change their minds, technology doesn’t work, phone calls don’t come. Be assured, however, that if you keep your sense of the absurd it could all be quite amusing.

SUZANNE MANNERS SO, like the spry Swift I am finally moving South, unlike the Swift I need to land. In between preparing for a new job, packing up my home and trying to find new accommodation (whose price does not make my eyes and bank account bleed) I am untying and retying knots of red tape.

With Eleventy Thousand things to do I am dropping chainsaws more than keeping them in the air. Frustration reigns supreme in my rapidly boxed up home (yesterday we thought we’d lost the cat only to find him snuggled in one of the boxes awaiting the miles of tape required to secure it).

Estate agents seem to have taken the weekend off and are not returning calls and removals companies seem not to want my business at all.

A Wing and a Prayer

OUT OF LUCK: The Ginger Cat of Anxiety never even brings me a gift.

Moving is a very stressful time, on top of the stress of losing my job after 14 years, trying to navigate the social security system and Covid-19, I am finding the fact of having no accommodation, as yet, in my new town of choice, very, very unnerving.

I am in normal circumstances very organised and a little paranoid about making sure all ducks are in their correct rows at the optimum time. I shall be starting work halfway between a hotel room and the kindness of strangers.

My son, in his early (very early!) 20’s will be in charge of removals, finishing packing and the cat (gulp!), but until I can find a flat for the removal company to deliver to we are blocked.

Changing one’s life seems to incur a series of predetermined stumbling blocks over which the ‘changee’ blindly trips. All finely balanced by a timetable written in runes by a psychotic

wedding planner on Crack.

It is very tempting to just walk out and leave everything as it is, get on the bus and resolutely refuse to look back. However I am very fond of my son, the cat and the assorted dross I have collected over the years so that is not really an option.

For only the second time in my life I will be moving to a town without a flat to move into. However I am excited about my new job and excited to be in Andalucia again.

When the Ginger Cat of Anxiety forces itself through the cat flap of my equilibrium (twice already in the last two days) I give it a small treat and launch it back outside.

Change is good but change is very, very hard so one must be kind to oneself and cruel to the Ginger Cat of Anxiety who never even brings a dead mouse as a gift, but wails and whines to be let in. Not this time puss!

Wish me luck. Toodle pip!

Summer shaving

SUMMER is in full swing, and whilst there is nothing wrong with a little body hair, there’s something about wearing a breezy dress with silky smooth legs that makes you feel so confident. Frequent shaving can cause all sorts of problems though, including pesky ingrown hairs, rashes and razor burns.

Three simple ingredients come together to give you soft, glowing skin.

The scrub recipe below is wonder ful for before and after shaving. Enjoy it on the tougher parts of your body: arms, legs, elbows, feet, etc, but do avoid sensitive areas such as your face and areas that may be affected by acne.

Ingredients: Granulated sugar Olive oil Fresh lemon Method: Make this scrub immedi-

MS BIPOLAR OLIVE OIL SCRUB: Best made in small batches.

ately before use, (it’s best not to make large batches and saving due to using fresh lemon.)

Put sugar in a small plastic bowl and add enough olive oil to saturate the sugar without excess oil floating over the sugar.

Next, quarter an entire fresh lemon and squeeze all the citrusy goodness into the mixture, give it a stir and you’re good to go.

For the actual exfoliation be sure to soak your skin in warm water in the

bath or shower, then scrub thoroughly, rinse away scrub, shave with desired foam or gel and then scrub and rinse once more.

The olive oil will soften the sur face of your skin leaving it glowing, the sugar will remove the dead skin without drying it out, unlike salt. The citric acid will aid with inflammation from rashes.

A quick word of warning … The olive oil makes the tub slippery.

Detox water STAYING hydrated, especially at this time of year, is often a challenge for many of us. It’s so easy to pick up a fizzy drink or a cold beer, instead of drinking the water our bodies desperately need.

There’s been a lot of hype about the health benefits of ‘detox water.’

Of course drinking extra water will make you feel better anyway, however,

20 - 26 August 2020

the addition of herbs, vegetables and fruits is said to help with weight loss, toxin removal, balancing of pH in the body, digestive health, increased energy levels and improved complexion.

Because it’s made by infusing flavour, rather than juicing or blending, detox water contains very few calories and can be made at home without any need for smoothie and juice making gadgets. Simply chop up your ingredients and add them to bottled water.

The more you add the stronger the flavour will be and making the drink in advance by an hour or so will help extract more flavour.

UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED I STARTED having difficult or should I say different thoughts at a young age that at the time seemed ‘normal’ to me as I knew no different ... now looking back I know I was definitely wired differently.

I can clearly remember back to being in school and sitting in class and drifting off into my own world ... next thing I know, I had one of these drawing compasses in my hand digging my initials into my thigh until I drew blood, I clearly remember the feeling of freedom, control and satisfaction.

Odd, I know, but true!

I vividly remember walking home from school at about 13 years old and having visions of me running across the train tracks and what would happen if I did, would I hurt myself? Would I die? Would I be missed? What would happen?

I didn’t know that other people thought like me, and that the thoughts that were running through my head were not right.

In this last year I have finally learned to manage my condition alongside medication. Sometimes changing from one medication to another but also becoming more relaxed about its changes as I get to know what they mean and know that (most of the time) I can control them. So

here’s what I’ve learned: • Don’t hide from it: get to know your condition from research as well as the behaviours you associate with depression, mania and overall bipolar. If you feel something is wrong, admit it.

• Don’t hide behind it: mania is the very worst of you but you are still you.

Whilst you learn to control your condition you may have limited control over your behaviour but your actions are still your responsibility. If you catch yourself saying ‘I don’t have to do this because I’m depressed or mentally ill’ get someone to give you a swift kick in the backside. Distancing yourself from responsibility is also distancing yourself from reality.

• Know yourself: Get to know your triggers. This is probably the hardest part.

You need to start paying attention to what triggers mania or depression for you .

• Love yourself: forgive yourself for mistakes or ‘bad behaviour’ instead of beating yourself up, resolve to do it differently next time and move on.

• For yourself but not by yourself: Each person has to learn their own way to control their condition. It’s incredibly easy to recognise other people with bipolar when you recognise the behaviours in yourself, but it’s very obvious when they are struggling. There is nothing better than recognising your fellow bipolar person and sharing stories with each other.

• Use your family and friends!

Help them to understand, explain to them your triggers but also how to help you manage your moods. Often friends and family feel helpless when it comes to mental health not knowing how to deal with it, what’s appropriate to say or not.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

DIONE LOCKYER THE year 2020 has been a testing time for many s o f a r. S e p a r a t e d f r o m family members, social distancing from those you love, without any physical contact, businesses closing and people being furloughed from their jobs.

Statistics for mental health issues are on the rise, with helplines being inundated with calls. Is there anything we can do for ourselves to get us through this? How can you cope through difficult times?

If you are a person who looks at every situation through a negative mindset, it can have an impact on every aspect of your life, including family, friendships, relationships and health. Your thought patterns affect your emotions, which in turn, affect your behaviour and actions. For example, if

How To Cope Through Difficult Times you wake up one morning in a bad mood and consistently think of that bad mood, you will feel angry, frustrated, grumpy. This may lead to the actions of shouting at family members, becoming impatient with work colleagues, whilst mentally beating yourself up over your behaviour.

Depending on the issue that each individual is dealing with, there are several ways you can approach this and learn how to change your way of thinking and your coping mechanism.

Write Rather Than Think The first step I take with all of my clients is journalling. Write down your current negative thought. What is the situation that has caused this thought?

Do you have any physical evi-

dence that makes this thought true? Writing down your actual thoughts helps you recognise and name it without judgement. You may even notice that your painful feelings disappear after a while. ‘This too shall pass’ can become words to live by.

You Can’t Control A Person or Situation Outside Of You This is a statement I live by daily. You are only in control of you! Whilst you cannot control a situation or person outside of you, you can control the emotions that you attach to it. Do not dismiss or ignore your emotion as that will not make the pain go away. Acknowledge the distress and accept it as your present reality. Accepting does not mean you like it, it only means that you can put

these unpleasant thoughts to the front and centre of your mind, rather than allowing them to float unconsciously under the surface.

Be Your Own Best Friend Eighty per cent of our thoughts are negative, we can be really mean to ourselves.

Ask yourself, is that the way you would treat your best friend? Self-love is so important. Everything starts with how you feel about yourself, so, the next time you punish yourself over a situation you cannot control, ask yourself this important question. Would I speak to my best friend in the same way?

Do The Things You Love It is a fact that there will be situations in everyone’s life that may cause you difficult times,

but, that doesn’t mean you have to allow it to control every aspect of your life.

When these situations occur, remember to do the things you love and reach for the belief.

Talk out loud if it helps, ‘I love the warmth of the sun on my face’, ‘reading books makes me feel relaxed’, ‘I love the smell of fresh coffee’, these examples will amend your way of thinking and will encourage you to look for the positive.

If you would like to work deeper into setting yourself free from a negative mindset, download my free workbook that includes, in-depth lessons on how to acknowledge your thoughts and release your fears. You can download them by clicking dionelockyer mindsetmentor.com.

If you would like to dig a little deeper into your own thoughts, feelings and behaviours or you would like to complete one of my courses to live a happy and healthy life with yourself, please email me coachingwithdione@gmail.com.

Activities suspended Top live music Within the hygiene and prevention measures in the field of culture, the Ministry of Health indicates that mass events must have a “risk assessment.”

For the moment, both the musical and theatrical performances of, ‘We Have Talent’ and the neighbourhood cinema that were to take place from Monday to Saturday are suspended.

“Our intention is to continue with the events, so we will be requesting these authorisations and as they are granted, we will try to adapt, we have been working very well in the municipality in terms of compliance with the rules already established,” highlighted the mayor.

Credit: Benalmadena Council

THE Torremolinos Town Council has suspended the events planned for the week of August 17 to 23 after the publication in the Official Gazette of the Junta de Andalucia of the new measures approved by the Health Commission of the Interterritorial Council to stop the increase in infections by Covid-19.

“It is a decision that we made because the regulations prepared by the board includes the obligation to have an authorisation from the competent body to hold large outdoor events and activities, so everything that was planned has been automatically cancelled so far,” said the councillor for Culture David Tejeiro.

HELPING OUT: The Red Cross benefit concert.

THE Benalmadena Council is supporting a benefit concert on behalf of the Red Cross which will take place at the La Paloma Municipal Auditorium on Saturday August 29.

In announcing this news, councillors explained how important the Red Cross is to the Benalmadena community, particularly during these difficult times and the charity is able to help those that public administrations can’t reach.

It is intended that not only will the concert raise funds for the organisation, but will also help to raise public awareness about all that it does to help the vulnerable.

The line-up which has been put together by Festival of Legends promoters Alberto Cohen and Chris King features tribute artists celebrating the works of Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, T ina Turner, Neil Diamond, Queen, The Bee Gees, Bon Jovi and

Elvis Presley.

The show will last about five hours with doors opening at 6pm with the first artist on stage at 7pm.

The organisers will make sure that all health safety measures are observed and Red Cross volunteers will ensure respect for social distance measures and the use of masks.

Tickets cost €20 and can be obtained by contacting the Red Cross Benalmadena on 952 444 499.

Flamenco in Fuengirola AFTER a long career as a dancer having performed in Scala Madrid, Scala Canarias, Casino de Beirut, Casino de Monte Carlo and Benidorm Palace, Vicente Renero set up his own International Dance Company.

He has created a number of exceptional shows based on Spanish Dance and Flamenco and the company’s latest creation Aire will be presented at the Salon Varietes Theatre in Fuengirola on Saturday September 19 and Sunday Sep-

tember 20.

This should be an exciting and colourful performance which captures the true essence of Flamenco and because of restrictions due to the pandemic, all tickets have to be booked by telephone only on 952 474 542 between 11am and 2.30pm Monday to Friday.

For your safety, full social distancing measures will be observed and masks will be obligatory in the auditorium.

This week Celebrity & Master Chef Steven Saunders chef proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala de Mijas cooks for his daughter and reminisces about cooking it for rock star Rod Stewart.

Bouillabaisse of national Spanish lobster …. A Rod Stewart Favourite!

Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas www.thelittlegeranium.com MY daughter Serena and boyfriend Clint visited last week before they flew off to Australia to live!

Clint is Australian and so we have had a lot of barbecues with lamb chicken and beef etc but one of the most memorable meals was my bouillabaisse of shellfish as Serena and I share the same passion for lobster and shellfish.

Back in the day Rod Stewart was a regular client at my Pink Geranium in Melbourn near Cambridge. Whenever I make this dish, I think of cooking it for Serena as it

is her favourite, but it is also Rod’s!

I will always remember the first time he walked in. The whole restaurant went stone dead quiet!

He had such a presence and everybody stopped and turned to look. Nobody bothered him apart from one client wanting to know why he gave up playing football to sing!

Later on, he told them that he would have preferred to be a footballer but wasn’t good enough. He said that football was still his passion and that he could recite the entire team from the 1966 World Cup. So, he asked me for a marker pen and started to write the English team on the table cloth listing even the reserves. He

From left .. Clint, Serena, chef Steven and Michele. then drew a line in the centre and listed the entire German team and then signed the table cloth.

When Rod left (we took him home using our chauffeur service) he handed me the table cloth and said a little memento for you!

It was about 3am and

so I put the table cloth underneath the reception desk and went to bed. The next day my cleaner came to me in despair and said that she had found a tablecloth that had been written all over and it had taken her all morning to remove the stains!

“Thank you, Yvonne,” I

said fuming for not taking it home. The next time I saw Rod I told him the story and he laughed out loud and said that he would do another. But the moment had gone and I never asked him for it.

Rod loved my bouillabaisse with scallops, prawns and Scottish lobster. You can serve it with any fish or a mixture of shellfish and there is plenty to choose from here on the coast.

It’s a classic, fantastic dish and makes a great decadent sharing dish for the centre of the table. The sauce which is absolutely delicious, can double up as a delicious soup.

Anyway, back to my daughter Serena and Clint because we had a

fantastic time with them but it was emotional seeing them go and wondering when we can see them again as it is so far away.

With things as they are over here in Spain for hospitality, it may be sooner than they think though! We are all trying to survive here, but without some government intervention many of us may soon have to close down.

So here it is the best Bouillabaisse you will ever eat, it’s a dish that is often available on the menu at The Little Geranium with my signature on it. Not everyone knows the story of why it became a signature dish but when your recipes are endorsed by a rock star, they qualify!

Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.

Chef Steven’s signature Bouillabaisse For the sauce Lobster shells, trimmings and pieces from a lobster (Can be a frozen lobster as it’s just for sauce) 500g of whole shell on prawns 125 ml tomato paste or tomato frito 1 litre of fish stock or shellfish bouillon (You can buy these ready made) 3 sticks of fresh celery (chopped) 1 leek (cleaned and washed and chopped into smallish pieces) 1 onion (peeled and sliced) 4 cloves garlic (peeled and sliced) 2 pieces star anise ½ glass of Pernod to finish 2 glasses white wine 1 glass of brandy 250 ml thick cream 1 dessertspoon of corn flour METHOD In a large pan sweat off the shells

and fish pieces and add the whole prawns. Now sweat the vegetables and star anise with the shells and prawns until coloured. Now add the tomato frito and then finally the fish stock.

Cook out on a fast simmer for at least an hour.

To f i n i s h a d d t h e c r e a m a n d cook and whisk it in for a few minutes, then pass the entire contents through a sieve mashing as much of the prawn and shells as possible to extract the flavour or use a blender and blend the contents and then pass through a sieve into a fresh pan and reduce a little.

Finally add the wine, brandy and Pernod. Whisk in and taste and adjust seasoning.

If you need the sauce to be a little thicker, add a little cold water to the corn flour and whisk in. Ensure

that you cook the corn flour out for a few minutes.

For the bouillabaisse you can add any fish like these suggested below simply cooked then simmered in the sauce for a few minutes.

Serve the Bouillabaisse with some Aioli.

Bouillabaisse fish for two 4 king scallops pan fried for one minute on one side only 6 large prawns (shell on) simply grilled or fried with a little garlic 1 small whole national Spanish lobster cooked and cut in half grilled with lemon and garlic 12 cooked mussels in their shells (you can save the mussel cooking juices and add a little to the bouillabaisse sauce recipe above) 12 Galician clams in their shells Serve with crusty bread and some Aioli on the side.

SPORT PSG Victory MEGA rich Paris Saint-Germain seem to be buying happiness as they reach the finals of the UEFA Champions League.

Nine years after the club was purchased with Quatari billions, the team find themselves heading to the final of the Champions League, after an impressive 3-0 win against German team RB Leipzig.

The Parisians are just one game from achieving the goal set by Qatari Sports Investment when they invested their billions in the club, and are now taking the spotlight from Manchester City, whose Abu Dhabi owners started their journey to success, with the same initial goal.

When teammates, Neymar, Di Maria and Mbappe

MANCHESTER UNITED’S season came to an end as they were eliminated from the Europa League at the semi-final phase by competition specialists Sevilla who beat the reds 2-1 on Sunday August 16.

United have not won a trophy since 2017 and must now wait until 2021 for their next chance of silverware.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side started well and took the lead in the first half through a Bruno Fernandes

WALKING FOOTBALL SETBACK

Angel Di Maria Man of the match.

have played together this season, PSG have lost just one of 12 games. Di Maria has nine goal involvements in the competition, beating his record when Real Madrid lifted the trophy in 2013-14.

Spectacular Sevilla penalty.

Former Liverpool player Suso equalised before half-time and Luuk de Jong scored the winning goal for the Spanish side after United missed multiple opportunities at the beginning of the second half.

Inter Milan sailed into the Europa League final with an impressive 5-0 victory against Shakhtar Donetsk on Monday August 17.

The Italian giants led by a single goal at half time after Lautaro Martinez headed them in front but crushed their opponents with four more goals in the second half.

Inter are back in the final of a European competition and the game against Sevilla on Friday August 21 will be their 10th European final.

THE closure of all facilities again means that the teams fortunate enough to operate near private facilities can continue while a few struggle to find a suitable alternative.

WFS Calahonda, Malaga (formerly Smiles) and the Walking Dead use the private facility at the Finca Naundrup while Benalmadena play their session at the Cerros de Aguila while further afield Aston Viñuela are using a five-a-side pitch attached to a local hotel.

Benahavis are at San Pedro leaving newcomers Nerja without any training facilities at all.

Hopefully the new restrictions are soon lifted and we can get back to playing walking football without interruption.

On a more positive note the League has received an application to join from Esquina Park Rangers, Rojales (Alicante).

An experienced team known to some of our teams who have met them at tournaments. They would be a welcome addition to the League although distance may well be the telling factor with almost 400kms separating the teams.

However they have agreed that if their application is accepted they would play their matches halfway, (Almeria). The application will be put before the managers at their next meeting.

Most teams’ preparations for the new season are progressing well, but new players will still be welcome.

If you’re over 50, close your eyes, take yourself back to your younger years when you were a ‘star’ footballer. Now open your eyes. You only have to look up walkingfooty. com, info@walkingfootballspain.com or Walking Football Spain Facebook page for venues and times.

Come along and have a go, exercise, show your skill and a beer or a coffee afterwards and join in a bit of banter.
