Hello Leapy LETTERS

Further to your article in EWN this week, I presume that you are referring to Shoiba beach. I worked (for my sins) at the National Guard King Khalid Hospital in Jeddah from 1982 to 1984. When we first went to Shoiba as a BSAC dive group it was virgin, totally un‐spoilt. I went back in 1989 when the ragheads had found it and it was disgusting. Nappies, tin cans, rubbish everywhere. Ugh!!

Having said that, the diving in the early days was unbelievable! Probably the best in the world!

I attach some old photos for your interest. It was me who got the bus stuck in the sand!!

Best regards

Max Kite

Dear EWN

Hi Bill

Bill took great care to avoid mentioning Nicola Sturgeon’s husband’s criminal activity; of course she will deny any knowledge of it and continue to bang on about Scotland’s ‘In‐dependence’.

Leaving Britain and joining the EU is NOT in‐dependence.

Good article about Semana Santa though Bill.

Yours sincerely, Brian Johnston

Editor , please let me know if you still re‐quire our NIE and address etc in order to make a comment !

Yes I am from Scottish heritage ‐ the John‐ston clan in Dumfries !

Dear EWN

I recently had my teeth whitened by a den‐tist in Fuengirola at a cost of €150. Whilst there was no guarantee that it would be per‐manent. I was very disappointed with the re‐sults. I was advised to eat only white foods and no coloured drinks for three days, which I did. The results were far from white. Just to let people know before they part with any money to get a guarantee. I did go back to complain but was told that at my age what do you expect. I am 83. I should have been told that in the first place and I would not have had it done. I gave since used a toothpaste whitener with better results for €4.00.

Yours, Mary

Dear all,

Lux Mundi Torre del Mar would like to thank you for the excellent coverage you have provided in this week’s issue. Best wishes to you all ,hope you had a good East‐er.

Hi Leapy

Kind regards, Patricia

Rothwell

I am very sorry Leapy but I am going to hold you responsible for the state the world finds itself in.

Over 30 years ago I agreed with everything you said and asked you to take up the chal‐lenge and lead the world to a better future. You refused this challenge when you were ob‐viously the only person that was talking any sense, and making your views known.

I am shocked and bewildered every day by the decisions our world leaders make, and feel so sorry that we are leaving our grandchil‐dren such a catastrophic mess to deal with.

Thank you for agreeing with me on most subjects and it is good to know there is some‐one else out there with some common sense.

Keep up the good work.

Dangerous dogs

Kind regards,

T Wiggins

All these predatory breeds should be banned and current owners identified and told to surrender the dogs to the RSPCA. It’s time to get tough and protect ourselves and our families from people who feel the need to own these animals. Dog licences should be obligatory and priced to ensure that only gen‐uine dog lovers can apply to keep a dog.

Big game

All endangered species are carefully watched by thousands of scientists, vets, field officers, ecologists, rangers and other professionals. You cannot hunt endangered animals and still get a hunting permit and import permits. The South‐ern Giraffe is the most numerous trophy ‐ there are 30,000 and ranchers can raise as many as the market demands. They are not endan ‐gered. With rhinos, some private rhinos are of‐fered for hunts in order to raise funds for pro‐tecting the rest, while wild rhino hunts are restricted to older males who deny younger, more virile bulls access to the cows.

The whole subject is far too complex and im‐portant to listen to deceptive emotionalism from HSUS/ HSI, an organisation that collects $200 million per year but little of it gets to save the wildlife of Africa.
