ON Tuesday August 23, the Spanish Council of Ministers declared that the Sierra de Mijas affect ed by the recent forest fire would be considered a disaster zone. The huge fire broke out on Friday July 15 and quickly spread to the neighbouring municipali ties of Alhaurin El Grande and Alhaurin de la Torre. The flames burned al most 2,000 hectares and more than 3,000 people were evicted from their homes and it was only af ter 20 days and a huge ef fort by combined emer gency services that the fire was considered extin guished on August 3. The government has approved the payment of set sums of money in re spect of different losses that may have been expe rienced which range from death to loss of property, although the amounts in volved are not likely to be sufficient to cover the re al costs for those without insurance.Inthemeantime, Mijas Council is working with the Junta de Andalucia to implement a plan to reha bilitate the damaged area and try to prevent future outbreaks. FIRE AFTERMATH DISASTER ZONE: Just one of many heroes who fought the fires.

The councillor for Securi ty, Javier Marín and the Chief of Benalmadena Lo cal Police, Francisco Zamo ra launched the week­long campaign on Monday Au gust 22 whereby officers will stop and inspect these vehicles.“We want to raise awareness among users of personal mobility vehicles and reinforce the fact that respect for the rules that guarantee safe mobility is essential so we can move towards a town model in which all users can live to gether, always seeking the protection of the most vul nerable,” said Marín.

Autumn Bazaar

GIBRALTAR students ob tained 95 per cent passes at ALevels on August 18 despite expectations that marking would be tougher than during the pandemic. For the past two years, summer examina tions have not been able to take place due to the Covid-19 pandemic and instead, stu dents were awarded grades using the evidence compiled by their teachers. As part of the return to sum mer examinations, boards in the United Kingdom have set their grade boundaries based on a profile which reflects the midpoint between the grades issued in 2021 and the prepandemic grading. Despite the relative normality of Gibraltar schools’ functioning in the last academic year, this academic cycle will have been an ex tremely challenging one for students and teachers, as these latest students have completed their GCE examina tions this year without ever having sat or experienced for mal summer examination ses sions. Nineteen students at tained three grade As or above, giving them opportuni ty to apply for the status of Gibraltar Scholar and this is an unprecedented number of stu dents attaining this status.

Top tribute

SPAIN’S top tribute to Dire Straits will be playing in Marbel la on Friday September 9 at the Congress Palace. It was 30 years ago that the group set off on its historic last set of live performances with the On the Night tour running for more than a year and performing 220 concerts around the world. Now, Brothers in Band recreates that historic last tour with the same line-up of lead guitar, rhythm guitar, electric bass, pianist, keyboard player, drummer, percussion ist, saxophonist and the very special and characteristic pedal steel guitar. There will be nine musicians on stage recreating the sound of the top numbers chosen to be played on the original tour including Walk of Life, Romeo and Juliet, Sul tans of Swing, Your Tunnel of Love, Money for Nothing and many more. This concert was originally scheduled to take place on June 4 but had to be postponed and tickets pur chased for that concert will be valid. Further tickets can be purchased now online or in store from El Corte Inglés.

BENALMADENA PUEBLO remembers its Moorish history with the Zoco Arabe (Arab Souk) which returns after the pandemic from August 25 to 28. It was in the 8th century that the Moors took control of what had been a Roman settlement on the coast and named it Ben­Al­Madina (children of the mines or children of the miners) due to the nearby iron ore and ochre (hydro ferric oxide) mines. A castle was built on the site that is now the Santa Domingo church in the Pueblo, but that was destroyed by the Christians as they captured the area and expelled the Moors. Nevertheless, the Moors left a great legacy in this area and Benalmadena Council has regularly helped to organ ise the annual Souk as a nod to the town’s history and a way of generat ing income for companies in the Pueblo.Now, working in conjunction with the Association of Merchants and En trepreneurs of Benalmadena (ACEB), Centro Comercial Abierto and Andalu cia Medieval, the Souk will cover the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, Calle Real, Plaza de España and Jardines de Muro with stalls open and events taking place from noon to midnight.

opportunityJob THANKS to the Spanish government’s decision to ensure free rail travel during the summer, there is an immediate need for additional staff at the main María Zambrano station in Malaga in cus tomer service roles and temporary contracts are being offered for work until the end of October.

ON Saturday August 27, more than 20 profession als from across Malaga Province will compete for the title of Best Espetero on the Costa del Sol. They will do so during the eighth Espetos Con test, organised by Torre molinos Entrepreneurs Circle (CET), which this year is being held on La Carihuela beach, next to the Plaza del Remo, with the support of both the local and Malaga Provin cial Councils. Considered to be one of the gastro nomic specialities of the province, the espetero consists of the stringing fish, traditionally sar dines, on thin and long rods, which are roasted with firewood on the sand of the beach.

The eighth Costa del Sol Espetos Contest will begin at 6pm and from 7.30pm visitors can enjoy the sardines as well as other dishes before the winner who will win €1,000 and a trophy is an nounced at 9.30pm. In addition, there will be music during the evening from local group Los Papitos with a special performance by Malaga band Dry Martina and some of the proceeds of the evening will be do nated to the Red Cross.

EVEN though smoking is not encouraged in Spain, it has been announced that there will be a public auction for licences for 11 new estancos (tobac conists) to be opened on the Costa del Sol, with nine being based in Casares, Estepona, Manil va and Marbella.

THE Diabetic Support Group of La Cala De Mijas Lions will be holding its Autumn Bazaar on the terraces of Bar Tuta and Snack Attack in La Cala on Saturday September 24 from 11am with plen ty of stalls, food and dia betic awareness informa tion.

LUX MUNDI Fuengirola are one year away from celebrating their 50th anniversary. Through the years the centre has not stopped offering different services to the community. They have helped and touched the hearts of many who were in need and have received support from volunteers and friends, and also from the different churches with which they have always worked in the search for unity. Initially the centre was opened to provide Christian churches with a place to celebrate their religious services, later the help was ex tended to foreign residents and visitors who came to the Costa del Sol. The centre began to organise more social and cultural activities, which helped contribute to its self­support. Over the years, the centre at Fuengirola was filled with life, spiritual, religious, social and cultural life, facilitating integration, intercultur ality and making known the charm of living in Spain.Their house in Fuengirola still welcomes ev eryone who visits them and who always feel the special atmosphere that is breathed there. It is the spirit of the centre shaped by so many years of prayer and dedication of so many people who have passed through their facili ties. Without them it would have been impos sible to maintain themselves for so many years.But time passes, and the facilities have be gun to deteriorate and the building in Fuen girola started to cause problems a few years ago. The possibility of a remodelling was raised and to give way to those plans, the cen tre moved temporarily to other facilities. But the pandemic and the difficulties with the Brexit process arrived and nothing that was planned could be done. Eventually, they had to return to the old building and accept that some facilities are no longer suitable for their original use. In the process, contact with many people was lost and even today there are people who believe that they have closed, despite their ef forts to report on their activities and the fact that many media outlets continue supporting them.Today, the centre continues to try to survive the current situation, with very little activity and little support. But it is becoming increas ingly stronger in uniting people through an in tense programme of ecumenical meetings of prayer and formation. Their second­hand clothing and household goods store remains open, from Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 1pm. They continue to provide the necessary space for the regular meetings of the AA, Al Anon and NA groups, to whom we thank for their loyalty and unconditional support during these difficult Face­to­faceyears.visits are provided to help with telephone procedures with the different ad ministrations and service companies, hospi tals,Thereetc. are reduced face­to­face hours for the public, Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 1pm, although the telephone number 952 474 840 or email luxmundif@gmail.com are alwaysWorkshopsavailable.are being prepared, to teach people how to use mobile or computer appli cations, such as ‘Salud responde’ and obtain ing the digital signature. For this, they are look ing for people who can help design the workshops and be able to offer them in En glish, Spanish or other languages. For the near future, the plan is still to re model the Fuengirola facilities, and, if possible, continue to be a meeting point, a source of in formation and help, and offer the space to de velop together with volunteers, service, help and dedication to others, as they have always done.

AS reported by the USO union on Thursday, Au gust 18, up until 1pm that day, a total of 27 delays had occurred at the two Andalucian airports of Malaga and Sevilla. This is the result of the latest strike action convened by the union representing Ryanair cabin crew workers (TCP) in Spain. USO and Sitcpla, after consulting the airline workers they represent, recently called for industrial ac tion to take place on a weekly basis, Monday to Thursday inclusive, from Monday, August 8, to January 7, 2023. The unions pointed out that Ryanair: “has not shown the slightest attempt to sit down and negotiate with them, but has pub licly stated its refusal to engage in any dialogue with the representatives chosen by its crew.”

In response to the strike action, Ryanair, in a statement supplied to EWN, said: “These two tiny unions who represent only a handful of our Spanish cabin crew have held a number of poorly supported ‘strikes’ in June and July, which have had little or no impact on Ryanair’s flights to or from Spain.”

ACCORDING to data re leased in a statement by the Junta de Andalucia on Mon day, August 22, the Malaga Metro system transported a total of 112,488 passengers during the week of Malaga Fair, specifically, from Au gust 12 to 20. This figure is practically identical to that registered in 2019, the last fair prior to the pandemic, and is a volume equivalent to 97.3 per cent of that total. In comparison, the figures for 2022 are bet ter than 2019 if you take into account that there were two more days of festivities in thatFriday,year.August 12, saw the highest volume of passen gers. That was the first day of the fair, with the Night of the Fireworks. Throughout the week of the fair, surveil lance was reinforced in trains and stations, in antici pation of an increase in the influx of passengers. This was established in order to facilitate the normal devel opment of the service at times of maximum demand.

While it has always been a re quirement for those with Span ish residency to apply for a Span ish disabled badge, the Euro Weekly News knows that many may have left this late following Brexit, often because many found the application process daunting and had hoped for the informal agreement between the UK and Spain to stay in place. We believe that there is a com passionate solution to this, and that the two governments should work together to allow a grace period where British resi dents in Spain can use their badges while applying for a SpanishTheseone.people are not the only ones affected however, with dis abled British nationals on holiday in Spain now no longer easily able to park freely and accessi bly.Those who live in Spain up to 90 days at a time, or those who have just moved to the country, are also in the same boat, with many unable to use their UK Blue Badges while here. Spain is one of the few EU countries not to have reached a decision on UK Blue Badges and we want to find a solution that means that no one, whether resi dent or tourist, feels cut off or isolated from basic services be cause of their disability.

Tell us a bit about your self Isabella­ what sub jects do you enjoy? Everyone would proba bly expect me to say that I enjoy Art. Well, you are allThroughright. art I find and lose myself at the same time. I enjoy every sec ond when I am creating. When did you start cre ating comics? My father works with a famous artist, drawing for some of the greatest brands in the games and comics industry. I tried to contribute on some occasions, but it is difficult to start as a top professional. Later, I got an iPad, and I asked my father to send samples of my work to some news papers ‘just to try’. The rest is history, as they say. Is this something you hope to have a career in? I believe that one day I will be a good architect and artist. Already, some of my works are on the walls of classrooms, of fices and homes. What sort of subjects do you most love to con centrate on? I am experimenting with different media, styles and materials. Your readers will probably get a better understanding if they visit my Instagram account @Isabella_ micheva. Any thoughts on the fu ture? I feel that in the future I will gravitate more and more towards digital art.

A 45-YEAR-OLD female driver at the wheel of a high­powered Porsche somehow managed to smash into another Porsche parked outside a home in Madrid on, Sat urday, August 20. The im pact of the collision left the parked vehicle lodged on top of the woman’s car. According to a spokesman for Emergen cies 112 Community of Madrid, the driver hit the parked car with such force that both vehicles went through the garden wall of a house on Calle Henares de Caceres de Al cala in the capital. After receiving the alert, the 112 emergency operators immediately deployed three fire appli ances from the Communi ty of Madrid to the loca tion.They oversaw the re moval of the two vehicles from the wall, with a tow truck subsequently pulling them free. The driver who caused the incident was trans ferred to Alcala de Henares Hospital. She was reportedly treated for an anxiety attack.

AS we approach the end of August, the temperatures are starting to drop and traffic is beginning to ease. The queues in the super market are noticeably shorter, and I guess for some of us it means one very important thing… the kids are going back to school.There are some people who dread them returning to school, however, for the majority it’s a welcome re turn. And while I adore my children and we have had a wonderful summer, I’ve had enough and I’m really looking forward to them re turning to school. I’m looking forward to having the routine restored , early mornings and bed times. The satisfaction of cleaning the place and it still being the same two hours later, I cannot tell you how much I am looking for ward to that. And I suppose I am looking forward to some me time, which dur ing the holidays, there is not a lot of time for myself. I am also excited for them, my kids and what the new school year will bring. New challenges, new subjects, new friends. So before they return to school, I have a suggestionjust take five minutes and remind your child not ev eryone is the same. Some are tall, short, chubby, thin, black, white. There is noth ing wrong with wearing the same shoes every day. Explain there is nothing wrong with someone using last year’s backpack. That backpack carries the same dreams as a new one. Please teach them to not exclude anyone for being different or not having the latest fashion accessory. Teach them to be kind. Ex plain teasing hurts … and that they are all going to school to learn not to com pete. You and I are worth the same and I believe edu cation begins at home. Teach them, it’s not ok make fun or pick on some one ­ it’s bullying. So let’s start the new school year working together.

Figs are very interesting and have a curi ousFirstlyhistory.they’re technically not a fruit, they are an ‘INFRUITY’ (set of fruits). Secondly, they need a slaughtered wasp to breed, an insect that dies inside the fig.

FRESH from supporting top Divas Sister Sledge at the Marbella Arena, soul supremo Mr Maph headlined his own show at the elegant Grace Restaurant in Riviera del Mar on Thursday August 18.This was a dress to im press event although perhaps a little too warm to wear bow ties, but guests en joyed a fabulous evening of top music presented by Mike Harding (whose alter ego is Mr Maph) and his band. There were a number of options for those attending with a simple entry fee to see the performance, the chance to pay a little more and enjoy endless wine or prosecco or for those who enjoy quality food to order from the A La Carte menu. Whatever the choice there was no question of being dis appointed as one of Costa del Sol’s best soul artists ran through his catalogue of songs to the delight of those who at tended.Working with G Sax on saxophone and bass player Neph tali he managed to create an intimate relationship with the audience and introduced three of his own compositions, The Cry which is a ballad, On My Mind which veers into jazz and Dip which is a funky dance track along with firm soul crowd pleasers.Speaking to Euro Weekly News, Mike said that “it was a fantastic show and was one of the best that I have put on for some time, as the audience were so welcoming and friendly which inspired me. I can’t wait for the next show which I def initely plan to organise soon.”

To summarise, figs are a kind of invert ed flower that bloom inside this dark red hued-bud which we know as a fig. Each flower produces a single nut and single seed called an aquarium. The fig is made up of several branches, which give it this characteristic crunchy texture. Therefore, when we eat one fig we are eating hundreds of fruit. But one of the most amazing things about figs is the special pollination pro cess that fig flowers need to reproduce, theTheywind.can’t depend on the weather, the wind, or the bees to bring pollen as with other fruits, so they need a species known as fig wasps. These insects trans port their genetic material and allow it to reproduce. For their part, wasps couldn’t live without figs, as they deposit their lar vae inside the fruit. This process is called symbiosis or mutualism. Beautiful to use in desserts or sauces or just alone with some cheese. figs are not fruit?

Ray Frost talks about his career

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

FacebookMusicFrostRayCredit:

MARBELLA resident Ray Frost has just re leased a new single Lucky To Be Me from his latest album Waitin’ for the Sun which has become a hit in Australia. Ray started playing guitar at the age of 13 and as he grew up in Essex played in a selection of blues and rock bands in the 80s and 90s, but worked as a builder rather than a professional musician. In 2002 he moved to Spain where he played guitar in local bars as well as teach ing both guitar and ukulele whilst supple menting his income by continuing to work as a Asbuilder.Rayexplained “I wanted to spend more time with my music, but it was my girlfriend who encouraged me to have confidence in my ability to perform, so thanks in part to her that’s what I did.” Whilst remaining on the Costa del Sol, Ray joined a number of high­profile British revival bands, starting with the Ru bettes with whom he toured in 2013 and 2014.Following on from them, was a fouryear slot with Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich travelling the world as they performed all of the original band’s greatest hits and as a footnote many will remember the club Beaky’s Gig which was situated between Estepona and San Pedro Alcantara. Next up was a deputising role with Her man’s Hermits (who continue to gig with out Peter Noone who now lives in the USA) which turned into an ongoing ar rangement, but then came the pandemic. Ray explained “I had already decided that it was time to explore my own music and released my first album Coming Home in 2019, but with the lockdown I had plenty of time to write and record, re leasing In my Life with a number of guest musicians including Savage Garden’s Daniel Jones from Australia.”

There were more than enough songs from 2020 for Ray to produce his third al bum at the end of 2021 and this latest version of Lucky To Be Me was re­record ed with the Australian market in mind and as soon as it was released it became one of the most downloaded tracks there and in New SpeakingZealand.about the new single, Ray ob served, “I guess you could say, Lucky To Be Me is somewhat autobiographical, be cause it pretty much sums up the story of myThere’slife.” another album in the pipeline and because of the current uncertainty of reliable flights to and from the UK, Ray has had to say farewell to his place with Herman’s Hermits, but has joined up with a number of British musicians based in the Costa del Sol to form Smokin’, a tribute to one of his all­time favourite bands, Smok ie.

This may however backfire on the Conservative Party if those af fected are offered a better deal by opposition parties at the next general election due no later than January 24, 2025. This is a detailed scale of com pensation within the remit of the PHSO which ranges from zero if the upheld complaint is consid ered to be an irritation with no long­term affect to £10,000 more if quality of life has been so badly impacted and life expectancy has been severely reduced.

THE Great Resignation has crossed the Atlantic to Spain from the USA but it’s not that big a deal at the mo ment.Intimes of austerity people tend not to change jobs as they fear that they may end up without work, but in times such as these where employ ers are crying out for staff and even offering ‘signing on’ bonuses staff movement is much more common.

Amazon rethink ACCORDING to information obtained by The Times, Amazon UK has decided due to poor sales in existing outlets and the threat of a recession, it will not open additional Amazon Fresh contactless stores unless it has already signed lease agreements for property.

In Spain in the first six months of 2022, a record number of more than 30,000 resignations took place ac cording to Spain’s Social Security De partment but that’s a drop in the ocean compared to the USA where an estimated 50 million changed jobs in The2021.sheer size of the American population makes a direct compari son difficult but despite saying that there was no problem with resigna tions, Spain’s Minister of Labour, Yolanda Díaz invited members of the business world and unions to a meet ing in May to discuss the situation al though according to Business Insider, no follow up has taken place. The way in which the Social Ser vices and employers staff benefits are administered are quite different to those in the USA and with many gov ernment workers effectively guaran teed a job for life with benefits in most areas increasing with the num ber of years worked there are many, especially those with significant se niority, who are unlikely to want to changeCertainly,jobs. those who are younger and work in new technology are most likely to follow the euro but with increasing inflation, more ex pensive mortgages and fears of a re cession on the horizon, it seems likely that Spain won’t see its own Great Resignation in the foreseeable future.

Heaven help the UK. It has already lost hundreds of lu crative businesses through EU schem ing and financial exploitation, and voted out Boris, the one man who would have seen through their treachery and given Brexit a success ful consequence to all its brilliant UK ambitions. Prepare yourselves for a glut of UK strikes. They make great election ammunition and for the next couple of years the leftie enthusiasts, the media and the Labour party will absolutely love ‘em! Many thanks for your letters. Keep ‘em coming. Be they good, bad or ut terly ridiculous, I do read every one. Wishing my lovely Irish family bon voyage and a safe journey after a wonderful visit.

I REALLY do appreciate some of the mail sent by readers of my weekly waffle. Mind you sometimes they re ally contain more flimflam than the ol’ boy’s column itself. One I received this week consid ered me a ‘total Pratt’ for supporting a Conservative government. Even this assumption was not specifically true, I don’t blindly support a party who of ten find it difficult to face up to obvi ous problems, including the forgoing of realistic efforts to prevent the dis integration of British culture; the fact is, whatever my choices, I would just never sanction the woke induced left ies, simple as that. This reader also insinuated that the UK had condoned the last 12 years of liars; he appeared to forget that the ‘New’ Labour government who pre ceded the Conservatives, was used as a gravy train by a young, utterly right wing schemer and his conspiratorial wife, who even insisted on changing the name of the utterly demolished opposing party to further his own ends. An extremely ambitious opera tor, Mr Blair then proceeded to run the country into the ground, (not him self or the wife of course!) In close league with another American crook, he also sent the UK into a disastrous war for a recompense of cheap oil. Finally realising he had screwed the UK all he could and his game was up, with perfect timing he ran out, leav ing the last two years of leadership to his power hungry partner Gordon Brown; a self­indulgent idiot who, dripping with self­gratification, then dispelled his own ridiculous party of losers into total oblivion, basically by finally even selling off most of the country’s gold for a pittance, which actually resulted in his chancellor un believably leaving a note in the office of his successor, stating that there was in fact ‘no money left.’

EQUITY release means that home owners can access the equity (taxfree cash) from the value of their home, either in a lump sum or in several smaller amounts. The amount varies depending on the age of the applicant (homeowner) and the value of the home. The money can be useful if you want to pay for some home im provements, pay off your loans, help your adult children buy their own home, or take off on the epic travelYouadventure.canearnmoney from your home by taking out a lifetime mort gage, which allows you to take a loan secured against your home whilst still owning it. Alternatively, if you sell all or part of your property for less than market value, you can stay in your home, but as a tenant. Equity release is a good option if you want to stay in your home without worrying about downsizing or moving to a cheaper area due to financial concerns. If you decide to move homes after equity release, this is also an option. IT is a difficult deci sion to make when buying a new home or moving, whether to purchase a place in a bustling, vi brant Spanish city, or retreat to the re laxing rural coun tryside that Spain boasts in abun dance.

THE owner of a rented property has all the right in the world to sell it. Which is to say, they are not obligated to continue the ownership.However, if the owner of the property rents it out, the ques tion arises on whether the sale of the rented house implies the termination of the lease contract. Or in other words, whether the landlord can demand the future termination of the con tract because they want to sell the property, or if the new own er can demand that the tenants leave, or not.

Equity release is a good option.

IT’S more common in Spain to have a flat rather than a house if you want a property at a reasonable price. In fact, Spain out of all European countries has the highest percentage of the population living in apartments, at 66.5 per cent.Living in a flat can be a great opportunity to build close relationships with your neighbours. Howev er, if you want to renovate your flat, it might be slightly more difficult. The first obstacle you might have if you want to upgrade your flat is under standing whether you have a freehold or lease hold agreement. If it’s leasehold, you don’t technically own the property, just the flat within the building, so you would have to get all ren ovations cleared. If you do get clearance for renovations, make sure that you don’t incon venience other people in the building by blocking walkways with furniture or equipment. Also make sure that you’re not work ing when people are sleeping or late at night just because that’s the on ly time you have to spend onInrenovations.termsofthe renova tions that you can actually make, although hard floor ing may be exactly what you think your flat needs to make a statement, often it is banned in apartment complexes.Softflooring tends to dampen the noise for those living below you so you might be able to install hard flooring only if you’re on the ground floor.

In addition, the European Central Bank purchased large numbers of Spanish government bonds in order to provide additional funds to cope with the pandemic and its aftermath.Incontrast, in a bid to help people live with the pandemic, the British government itself encouraged the Bank of Eng land to print more money and has created a not unreasonable expectation from the British public to expect this to con tinue in order to tackle the latest crisis.

LOVES TRADITION

IT seems that whilst the rising cost of living is affecting coun tries around the world that Britain is in a worse position than many. No matter what your politics may be or your stance in Brexit, the situation in Spain whilst bad, is nowhere near as dire as it is in the UK. Whilst the politicians who encouraged a Brexit vote and those who followed that advice were not able to forecast the future, it seems that the European Union has been the finan cial saviour of both Italy and Spain with the billions pumped into the economy from the recovery fund.

Just thought I’d like to add to what loopy Lee has said of not being too impressed with politicians. The selec tion of another stooge to re place the former stooge has led to Tory Party infighting. This seems to get little men tion in the EWN so I’d like to remind anyone who may have seen this heading that appeared in one National UK newspaper, rather amusingly I think one word has been misspelt, ‘Rishi Sunak (PPE, Oxford ) v Liz Truss (PPE, Ox ford) The Degree That Runs Britain’, there appears to be a missing i ?

COST

There is currently no leadership in the country and the To ry party is becoming increasingly divided over the leader ship election and it seems likely that if, as expected, Liz Truss wins, then senior politicians such as Rishi Sunak won’t find a place in her future cabinet. At long last, the Labour Party has come up with a plan, but a bit like Baldrick’s in Black Adder, it’s a bit pointless as there won’t be another election until 2025, so whatever it champions has every chance of simply being ignored whilst the country suffers from strike after strike and rampant infla tion.

I COULDN’T agree with you more (Leapy, Issue 1933). I’ve been saying this for years about Rhodesia they were called the ‘breadbasket of Africa’. But alas as you have alighted too it’s now a cor rupt, barren, and dangerous place, more so if you’re white. My wife and I intend to live in Spain next year. My reason is that I was in the British army for 12 years and the po lice for 30 years. Forty­two years in total of service to my country and for what. It’s now being stripped of its culture, history and identi ty. It’s being invaded by for eigners who impose their cul ture and traditions on us. I can’t stay in the UK and watch the destruction of my country with traitors and im migrants turning it into a third world country. I’m best out of it to retire in a country that loves its tradi tions and will fight for their culture. That’s what I like about the Spanish. They push back. Laurence Elliott Rear view fines WITH regard to an article in Is sue 1935, as a former UK police officer, I was aware that in the UK the information in the arti cle would have been wrong or at the least, misleading. Spanish law, which is the same as the UK law on this, says a car must have an exter nal rear­view mirror on the left (wing) and either an internal rear­view mirror or an external rear­view mirror on the right (wing).Ifthere is no internal mirror, or if the reflection of the road to the rear, in the interior mir ror is obscured or blocked by luggage or similar items, pro viding one has the two exterior mirrors, no offence is commit ted. That is confirmed

The setting is ideal for the show, not just because the place is lovely, but also the easy parking with the bonus of a car wash service; to either just wash the car down (as I did last week) or for full valet ing; most Umbrella’sconvenient.inparticular has a lovely terrace that’s well shaded in the mornings and inside sumptuous décor and very comfy seating and well air­conditioned. The coffee is great, the staff excellent as well as charming and I can confirm that the cocktails are well worth trying. TVs every where for sports and for the more lively, great party nights too; plus, their designated barber area. My guests this week have curiously all come through in troductions. Luke Hill told me about Shlomo and Aurora Benzian and asked if I could have them on the show. I was a bit taken aback at first as this couple run a ‘lifestyle’ club, or swingers club to give you more of an idea of what the style of life they offer is. To find out more about Wicked Chateau, you’ll just have to watch the show… or pay them a visit. Thanks to Harriet Nilsson I then got to meet Gavin Scott, who has changed his lifestyle lately but as far as I know it’s limited to intense training to swim the English Channel on September 22. This is very ambitious and commendable as his objective is to draw awareness to the plight of all the plastic waste that is pol luting our oceans. He’s totally unassuming and deserves our support and if you can donate just €1 to the cause, he’d be most grateful: www.stayout standing.com with all funds going to the Ocean Cleanup. I’m not sure if I’ve ever had a Brazilian on the show, but thanks to Bruno Sousa we have an opportunity to meet and know more about Marisol Gomez Magahlhaes who is a shining representa tion of the joy of Rio. She has her own YouTube channel covering Brazilian events and cultural aspects and can or ganise dancers, chefs and mu sic to bring Brazil to any party along the ThanksCosta!tomy dear friend Estelle Physio I also went to Starlite to see one of the best flamenco dance groups in Spain, that of Sara Barras. I only recorded a bit because I wanted to appreciate the live performance and not watch it through my ‘phone. Even so, I hope you enjoy the tid­bit. To finish off this week’s show I popped round to Miss Raw to catch up with Kara Jaye Caradas at ‘Miss Raw’ to know more about their Cabaret dinner show on Au gust 27 ­ book now if you don’t want to miss out! Marbella Now #MN361 airs tonight for the first show ing at 11pm on RTV Marbella, also via streaming and from la­nowwww.rtvmarbella.tv/marbel website, my website and social media Instagram : nicolekingmarbellanow Face book: MarbellaNowRTV www.nicoleking.es • www.zerohero.es • www.u-n-m.org

Martin Rosinski was inspired to make a pro totype, by his own serial killer kitty named Jinx. Martin was sick of being woken in the night by his furry friend who would arrive home proudly displaying a mouse, bird or some other find. This inspired him to create his OnlyCat cat flap.Martin said: “Jinx goes outside on her ad ventures which include spotting and bringing animals, both mice and birds, into the house, unfortunately.“Afterhaving had the cat flap installed for a year, we have 42 video clips of her attempting to bring various bits of prey in, some dead, some alive and some somewhere in between.

A SMART cat flap uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to temporarily lock if it detects that your furry friend is holding a mouse, bird or some other prey. The cat flap is fitted with a camera that uses AI to detect the presence of prey. It then sends a notification to the owner’s phone with a video of the visit.

“Two months ago I think something clicked and she realised ‘I can’t bring these home, it’s just not going to work’.”

THIS week’s Marbella Now was recorded at Umbrella’s Bar & Barbers, located in the Marbella Arena (AKA the Bullring in Nueva Andalucía).

MERCEDES BENZ has long been at the fore front of premium motoring and its lat est range is no excep tion. My concentra tion here is the C­Class in saloon form. The range includes sa loon, estate, coupe and cabriolet models with mild hybrid petrol and diesel along with plug­in hybrid options. Prices start from €47,290/£39,860 for the Sport model which comes with standard features such as LED lights with adaptive high beam assist, keyless start, navigation with smartphone integra tion, cruise control, auto matic wipers, climate con trol and heated front seats.My test model was at the higher end of the range, the AMG Line Pre mium Plus with diesel power under the bonnet. While it may carry the AMG name the AMG Line versions have all the styling cues, but the me chanical side of things re mains unmolested in terms of power. The 1.9litre diesel in the test car produces 265 hp and being diesel maximum torque is low down from just 18002200rpm. Inside the CClass you would be hard pressed to tell it’s a diesel providing the not inconsid erable accelerative capaci ty. Also the mid 50s fuel economy is impressive for a car of this class. Inside it makes a pleas ant change to find a car, especially a German mod el, that isn’t graced with a surfeit of sombre tones, most often black or grey. Lightening up my test car’s interior, and adding a dash of additional class, were tobacco coloured centre seat panels and matching door cards. With the rest of the interior in darker colours matched to the ex ternal grey paintwork it made for a nice contrast. On the road the C­Class is a refined and smooth drive with plenty of power in reserve should you re quire it. A sleek style, de spite being a saloon, makes for a striking look and doesn’t really compro mise headroom access to the rear as is the case with many rakish saloons. The suspension draws a nice line between being com pliant enough to soak up the bumps but with enough control to deal with twisty tarmac. Add driving modes of Comfort, ECO, Sport, Sport+ and In dividual and you can see why it makes for an exem plary sports saloon. Mercedes has had a rep utation of being slightly more sedate than some ri val German competitors but has more than levelled the field with the C­Class AMG Line models. It’s also a somewhat more individ ual choice with less aggres sive styling, an altogether more subtle approach.
