Tenerife X-Factor!

Sunday voters turn out to have their say in elections

Unless you have been off the rock for a few weeks you can not failed to have noticed the publicity machines operating overtime for the local political parties.

From billboards to flyers to megaphones the messages of each candidate were coming thick and fast.

Voting took place last Sunday – 22nd May and in the proceeding week the votes counted and winners confirmed, or in some cases, similar to the UK Coalition talks have begun.

At a National level, mainland Spain, experienced a landslide victory for the right wing Partido Popular (PP) meaning radical changes in town halls and regional governments throughout the country with the PP netting an average of around 47 per cent of the votes in all regions.

This historic landslide on the part of the PP is thought to be a response to the recession and poor state of the job market.

Despite the PPs sweeping the board, Spain’s president and socialist leader José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero – who announced recently he would

not be standing again next year – has refused to stand down and bring forward next year’s elections.

At the last Government session he vowed to continue to place the interests of Spain above all others. Stating that the main objective for the Government of Spain, “as it faces the most serious economic crisis we have seen for decades, is to achieve recovery and maintain the financial stability of Spain…we are going to do precisely that, with the strongest sense of responsibility and by placing the interests of Spain above all others.”

As we go to print Defence Minister Carme Chacon said she will not stand as a candidate for the leadership of Spain’s ruling Socialists, leaving the way open for Deputy Prime Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba to take the post.

Chacon, 40, said she had initially decided to run but changed her mind in order to avoid a spat within the party over the best way to pick a successor to Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero to lead the party in elections next year.

Zapatero announced last month he would not seek a third mandate, and the process for choosing his successor is set to begin (tomorrow) Saturday.

“I have taken the decision to not take part in primary elections to choose the next Socialist Party candidate,” Chacon told a news conference.

“I feel that today I must take a step backwards so that the Socialist Party can take a step forward. Over the past few days we have witnessed an escalating debate which puts the unity of the party at risk,” she added.

Infighting had erupted among the Socialists over how to choose a new leader after the party’s humiliation in local elections on Sunday.

The prime minister had called for internal primaries in which all 220,000 party members have a say on their next leader.

But, at the last moment, dissenters called for a congress of between 500 and 2,000 elected party members to rethink party strategy and decide on a single candidate.

Chacon, 40, who became Spain’s first female minister of defence when she was sworn in April 2008 when she was seven months pregnant, is popular with younger voters.

Her withdrawal from the race leaves the way open for Rubalcaba, 59, who is also an interior minister, and is to be the only candidate for the post.

After eight years in opposition, the conservative Popular

Party of Mariano Rajoy is widely expected to romp into office in general elections scheduled for March 2012.

Support for the government collapsed in the face of the beleaguered economy, the highest unemployment rate in the developed world at more than 21 percent and huge week-long street protests.

Futher down the change everything is not so cut and dried.

At a regional level there is a tie at the top between the Coalicion Canarias (CC) and Partido Popular (PP). The acting chairman of the Canary Islands and presidential candidate, Paulino Rivero, said his party intended to close a deal as soon as possible under the premise that the government is “solid, stable and strong.”

To do this, he stressed, he will open in the coming days “necessary contacts” with other political forces to achieve stability “institutions” that after the elections hang in the governance arrangements. The intent of the nationalists, in this sense, is to link the regional pact to lobbyists who are now in the air, and several municipalities.

Rivero made it clear that CC has also won the elections. Like the PP it has 21 members but “winning five of the seven islands, it has won five of the

seven councils and is the force that most council members have.” Thus, he stressed, “Our obligation is to work to find stable arrangements for different institutions.” Therefore I will not philosophise. It is the time of work, not soap operas.”

In Tenerife, the presidency of the Tenerife Cabildo is not black and white. Yes Melchior earned a majority, but, if the others work together, then there may be a problem.

If opposition rivals the Popular Party and PSOE strike a deal they may end years of rule by the CC, and thus the presidency.

Elected President of the Tenerife Cabildo, Ricardo Melchior, said last week he is in opposition to a hypothetical agreement between the PP and PSOE. In his view, an agreement between the two sides would be “disrespectful to the people and the law.” Thus, the nationalist party said the highest number of votes shall be holding the Presidency.

“The law says that the most voted is what must prevail in the council,” he said adding that “to be talking about something else other than that right now is a lack of respect for citizenship and the law.”

Melchior also confirmed that it has not initiated contact with any of the two parties to negotiate a government. In this

regard, the Coalition leader stressed that “no agreements are needed, as there is a president who has won the election last Sunday with an absolute majority of 15 members. And, he is set to take up his seat on the 17th June as planned.

In Tenerife there are 32 municipalities, of which seven are in the south:- west to east – Santiago del Teide, Guia de Isora, Adeje, Arona, Vilaflor, San Miguel and Granadilla, but how did they get on?

Santiago del Teide, the PP won the majority with 8 councillors and 1474 votes.

Guia de Isora, is presided over by the PSOE with a nearly fifty percent majority and 11 seats.

Adeje, an overwhelming majority, with 13 seats, keeps Jose Miguel Rodriguez Fraga in power.

Arona and the CC lead with 13 councillors, so no change to the Reveron council.

Vilaflor the highest village in Spain, PSOE lead with 568 votes.

San Miguel on this occasion the CC won the most votes 1697 and finally Granadilla the PSOE won 10 seats.

No doubt the talking will go on for a few days yet and councillors will chop and change but basically, no matter what party, everyone wants the same – an end to the economic crisis.

Breath of fresh air!

New ash cloud disappears just in time for holiday-makers

FEARS have been allayed that the latest Ash Cloud disaster could again cause havoc to Tenerife’s blossoming tourist industry.

Thousands upon thousands of British families planning to jet off on half-term, Bank Holiday trips this weekend many to Tenerife - will have breathed a huge sigh of relief as the Met Office yesterday (Thursday), pronounced the skies safe for air travel.

The decision contrasted

vividly with their damning five-day report on Wednesday that the UK would be covered by the volcanic plume by today (Friday).

It seemed as though there would be a repeat of last year’s disaster when, right out of the blue, a volcanic eruption in Iceland in April caused heartache for some 10 million European travellers - including thousands who were trapped here.

This time, the Grimsvotn volcano sparked Iceland’s biggest eruption in 50 years.

It wreaked havoc in Scotland, where all airports there were

forced to close all day on Tuesday.

More than 500 flights were cancelled, mostly to and from Scotland, followed by the north-east of England, as the cloud appeared to be working its way south.

Barcelona’s football squad and officials, preparing for their European Champions League final against Manchester United at Wembley tomorrow (Saturday), took no chances and flew in two days ahead of schedule on Tuesday to ensure their arrival in good time.

Miraculously, though, the eruption subsided and the Met Office issued a map showing Britain free from the ash cloud or the start of today’s great getaway.

British flights returned to normal in midweek, and Met Office spokesman said: “It seems likely that there will be only minimal ash over the UK and Europe as we enter the Bank Holiday weekend.”

Some airline chiefs, stung badly by last year’s disruptions, attacked the way the situation had been handled early in the week by the UK Government, the Civil Aviation

Authority and the Met Office.

Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary launched a fierce broadside at the Met Office “Red Zone”, which showed the densest ash concentration, describing it as “mythical”.

O’Leary, whose company was forced to cancel 70 flights on Tuesday, sent an aircraft over Scotland, and said: “There’s no volcanic ash over the skies in Scotland. The CAA should get their finger out and allow the aircraft to fly.”

But 26 flights between the UK and Spain were cancelled that day, raising concerns for

Tenerife-goers, because of the new eruption. Happily, for travellers to and from the UK, it looks as though it will be plane sailing all the way this time.

Even though there are still concerns that the problem could return as early as today, Transport Secretary Philip Hammond has made contingency plans.

He has co-ordinated a group of experts, including air traffic body NATS and the Civil Aviation Authority, to draw up procedures to let flights arrive and depart from the UK beneath potential ash clouds.

Gee-whizz, it’s Kenny and Bolton in concert together AMERICAN music legends Michael Bolton and the fabulous Kenny G have joined forces for a super concert at Golf Costa Adeje this summer.

It will be their first appearance in the Canary Islands, and the 8th July show looks certain to be a 10,000-ticket sell-out.

The event is being organised and promoted by Canarias Sun Live Festival, who have enticed Elton John, Rod Stewart and Simply Red to the same venue in recent years.

And they have promised to continue bringing global attractions to the Island “to generate economic development”.

Gaspare Bertolucci, the company’s artistic director, predicted that the rare combination of Bolton and Kenny G “will make this show something

very exclusive” He was accompanied at a press conference to announce the event by his Canarias colleague Jordi Esplugas, as well as Adeje Mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga and the President of Ashotel, Tenerife’s hotels’ association, José Fernando Cabrera.

The event is being supported by the Canary Islands Government, Tenerife Cabildo and the Adeje municipality.

Esplugas said artists such as Irish superstars U2 had also been considered for Tenerife, but his company felt they could not yet accommodate such gigantic acts.

But he pledged: “In the future, we will build a larger enclosure to meets the needs of these great concerts.”

Adeje Mayor Fraga said he had given the project his “full support” as it served to “project the international tourism industry here”.

27 May 2011 - 02 June 2011

Apart from a Valentine’s Day appearance together on stage in Las Vegas in February, Bolton and Kenny G have never appeared jointly before, so this will be a first for Europe.

Bolton, now 58, has enjoyed an incredible career since his debut in 1975. He has sold more 53 million albums with his so-called soft-rock and romantic ballads, and he has always been a huge hit with the ladies

on both sides of the Atlantic.

Curiously, he specialised in hard rock in the early days with his band, Blackjack, and even toured once with Ozzy Osbourne’s heavy-metal outfit Black Sabbath.

But once he had written How Am I Supposed To Live Without You for Laura Brannigan in 1983, it opened the door to his easy-going charm and music, and he never looked back.

IN HARNESS: Kenny G and Michael Bolton together at a celebrity golf tournament

He had massive US hits with cover versions of Otis Redding’s Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay, and the classic Georgia On My Mind to establish himself firmly in that easylistening field by the early Nineties.

Bolton has also performed with the likes of Patti LaBelle, José Carreras, Ray Charles, Céline Dion, Plácido Domingo, Wynonna Judd, BB King, Luciano Pavarotti and Percy Sledge, which is a pretty impressive selection.

Supreme sax player Kenny G, 55 next month, is the biggestselling instrumental musician of the modern era, with global sales totalling more than 75 million albums.

He has had eight top-10 albums, achieving two No1 singles on the US Billboard charts, plus accolades from both the American Music Awards and Grammy Awards.

Throughout his illustrious

career, Kenny G has collaborated with diverse artists such as Andrea Bocelli, Whitney Houston, Peabo Bryson, Toni Braxton, DJ Jazzy, Natalie Cole, Steve Miller (his only appearance on a rock and roll album), Celine Dion and Aretha Franklin.

He admits to being influenced by the likes of saxophonist Grover Washington Jnr in his formative years, and his own albums are usually classified as “smooth jazz”.

He is a aircraft pilot, and owns a De Havilland Beaver seaplane, which he flies regularly. And he is also acknowledged as the best golfplaying musician in the world, playing off a scratch handicap.

So you can be sure he will be making use of the local courses - if he can make time after the concert.

All in all, it looks as though Tenerife fans are in for a night of the smoothest of smooth music in Adeje on 8th July!

A WORD FROM OUR EDITOR

Older travellers Canarian Day find insurances hard to come by

Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

No, not another Bank Holiday I hear you gasp, but yes, Monday 30th May is Canarian Day - Día de Canarias which is a Canarian wide holiday.

After the establishment of a democratic constitutional monarchy in Spain, autonomy was granted to the Canaries via a law passed in 1982. In 1983, the first autonomous elections were held.

So in celebration of the anniversary of the first official Parliamentary session of the islands on the 30th May 1983, we have a bank holiday to celebrate the Canaries independence.

It’s not just here in Tenerife, the day is celebrated on all of the islands with a wide range of cultural events and festivities.

So be warned - some shops, offices, banks etc will be closed or operating a skeleton staff/schedule.

‘Baile de Magos’ in conjunction with local folk groups will be taking place in municipalities across the island. On Sunday in Los Cristianos the event will be organised by the

Page 04

local council and Cantasur association. It doesn’t start until 10pm and you have to be in traditional dress see www.arona.org for more info.

In Adeje the dance will be held on Sunday from 9pm, and those interested in taking part must sign up at the Cultural Centre by today (Friday). And dancers must be dressed in the traditional outfit.

Various local musical groups will be playing, including the School of Folklore’s own group from Adeje, Parranda Boleros, from Armeñime, Parranda Boca del Paso, from Taucho, Santa Ana Senior Citizens Club and folk group La Diata, from Tijoco.

Did you know the Canary Islands have a population of 2,100,235 inhabitants, making it the eighth-most populous of Spain’s autonomous communities, with a density of 281.8 inhabitants per km².

The total area of the archipelago is 7447 km².

If you’re not going to an organised event, then why not do something typically Canarian for the day.

Whatever you choose have a wonderful day!

Iggy Pop may have to look for a new travel insurance provider after his next birthday, according to a new report by Which?

Money.

Swiftcover, whose ad campaign is fronted by the veteran rocker, won’t cover new travel insurance customers who are 65 or older. And they’re not alone - a quarter of firms surveyed who offer

annual travel insurance can consider people in their sixties too old to insure, while nine out of ten won’t insure people in their eighties.

The single-trip policies Which? surveyed weren’t much better - 86% had an upper age limit and only 29% covered people in their eighties.

What’s more, even if you can get cover, premiums can triple overnight. Take out an annual worldwide policy with Essential Travel on the eve of your 66th birthday and

you’ll pay £58.72. Take out the same policy the next day and it costs £205.51.

Despite the fact that 60% of people over 65 have never used the internet, Which? found that the best deals available for older travellers are often online.

Which? is working with the industry on Government proposals that will force insurers to justify higher premiums with evidence, rather than assuming that older people are more likely to have an accident or fall ill

abroad. Which? executive director, Richard Lloyd, says: “It’s absurd that you could wake up one morning and suddenly be three times more expensive to insure. Older travellers are finding it increasingly difficult to get cover or are priced out of travelling altogether.

“Insurers should take a more common sense approach and look at factors other than age when setting premiums.”

Blue flags flying high in Tenerife IN TOTAL, 603 Blue Flags will be flying on Spanish beaches and ports this summer, keeping Spain in its first position among the 36 countries of the northern hemisphere which take part in the programme.

The blue flag system identifying quality beaches throughout the European Union.

It’s two lower than the number for 2010, as ten beaches have lost their flags and eight new ones have been awarded to Spanish ports.

Of the 511 flags awarded to the beaches, Galicia is at the head with 130. Valencia is next, having gained eight on last year to reach 116, fol-

lowed by Cataluña’s 108, 85 in Baleares, and Andalucía with 81. Andalucía is however in first position with the most kilometres of its beaches to be covered by the distinction: a total of 112.2 kms.

beaches, one more than last year. Seven of these are in Tenerife and include El Médano, La Tejita, Las Vistas in Los Cristianos, La Arena (Mesa del Mar), El Camisón, Troya and La Arena in Santiago del Teide.

Unfortunately overall Tenerife lost three flags Leocadio Machado (Granadilla), El Socorro (Los Realejos) and Playa Jardín (Puerto de la Cruz).

craze Mighty Laura aims Balconing is pure madness to get her hands on another crown SPANISH hotels are concerned about the balconing craze, popular with drunken British tourists, which left 10 dead in 2010 and three seriously injured so far this year.

LAURA DAVIES, Britain’s greatest-ever woman golfer, will be competing for the Tenerife Ladies Match Play championship next month.

The event, which forms part of the Ladies European Tour, will be staged on the Golf Las Americas course from 9-12th June.

It is sponsored jointly by Turismo de Tenerife and the Canary Islands Government, as well as receiving subsidiary backing from local companies.

Laura, still a tough proposition at 47, despite being at the latter end of her distinguished career, has twice won the Spanish Open title - in 1986 and last year - and will be bidding to add to her tally of 30 European Tour victories, and 20 on the American

Balconing is all about jumping from an apartment or hotel balcony on to another below or beside it - or, more commonly, into the swimming pool.

Numerous youths have been caught on security cam-

He jumped from a seventhfloor hotel room, but missed the swimming pool altogether. Fortunately, he landed on a sunbed, which probably saved his life.

Just yesterday morning (Thursday), a 36-year-old Swedish tourist was rushed to intensive care after plunging from the third floor of his hotel and landing on the roof of the dining hall.

CARITAS, the humanitarian organisation in the Canary Islands is planning on creating more shelters for the homeless here in Tenerife after reporting to be alarmed at the lack of resources to attend to people with mental disorders living on the streets.

Project manager Alfonso Rivero believes that rejection by society and justice worsens the situation but providing them with basic shared accommodation and food supplies could re educate people in taking responsibility for their lives and therefore their actions.

AIR EUROPA have introduced their new Airbus 330-200 to Tenerife, and it is considered the jewel in the crown of navigation.

It has created 70.000 more seats this year for flights between Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Madrid. The latter is a base used by many for connecting flights to destinations such as New York and Miami, both fast-becoming popular holiday choices for Tenerife travellers. Air Europa say it’s not unusual for a sixmonth waiting list for sought-after flights to Miami, the majority often British residents.

Sit down and make yourselves at home!

A FASCINATING Government campaign has been launched to promote internal and interisland tourism on the Island.

More than 570,000 Canarians, including Tenerifans, spent their holi-

days on home ground last year, and Tourism Minister José Manuel Bermúdez says: The main purpose of the campaign is to improve our image and position in the eyes of the other islands.

“We also want to encourage residents in Tenerife to stay here for their holidays.”

The initiative, which will make use of radio and digital media advertising and news-

papers, will revolve around projecting a friendly and hospitable image for Tenerife.

There will be messages such as: “It’s normal for a neighbour to show you around his home. Here in Tenerife, we even leave you the keys.”

In addition, the creative campaign will include photographs of emblematic land-

marks in Tenerife, with an inserted image of a sofa to suggest that Tenerife really is a home from home.

One of the most interesting promotions will take place in the streets and busiest commercial centres,

with a genuine living area set-up - sofa, lighting and carpet included.

It will also feature a large poster with a landscape image of Tenerife at the back, inviting passers-by to sit down and have a souvenir

photo taken. The campaign will be reinforced by an online competition, in which questions will be asked about the attractions here.

Participants will have a chance to win package holidays to Tenerife.

Jobless are given a helping hand A CONFERENCE aimed at giving the unemployed a fresh start was held at the Cultural Centre in Los Cristianos on Tuesday.

The meeting, embracing the themes “Creating social economy businesses” and “A good option against unemployment”, was organised by various bodies.

These included the Regional Platform for the Economy and Jobs in South Tenerife, the Canary Islands Government,

prominent trade unions, plus the municipality of Arona and the Cabildo.

The organisers said the purpose was to show the southern region what was meant by so-called “social economy businesses”, since unemployed people with entrepreneurial profiles usually ended up being selfemployed, or forming corporations.

The people behind the conference believe social economy enterprises can be an interesting, additional option since, with the characteris-

27 May 2011 - 02 June 2011

tics of conventional businesses, the balance between competition and competitiveness must be taken into account.

There are other considerations, like profit-sharing, solidarity with the environment and promotion of social cohesion, among others.

The conference included speakers addressing various topics, including the definition and examples of these types of businesses, their advantages, implications, and the first steps to follow towards their creation.

Operation Captura strikes gold again!

JONATHON LEJMAN, nabbed by police in Tenerife under the Operation Captura campaign, has been sent to prison in the UK. He was sentenced six years and eight months for aggravated burglary in his native Stoke-On-Trent by the city’s Crown Court.

Lejman, one of 10 individuals wanted under the most recent batch of Operation Captura appeals, was discov-

ered living at a beach commune in Adeje on 24th March.

The Operation Captura campaign, run by Crimestoppers and the Serious Organised Crime Agency, hunts down individuals on the run in Spain.

They are wanted by UK lawenforcement agencies for serious crimes committed in Britain. The campaign has proved to be an outstanding success, with 44 of the 60 “most wanted” people tracked down already. And the criminals are not happy!

Adeje’s Baile de Magos is back at the Plaza España ADEJE’S Department of Culture, and the School of Folklore, have organised this year’s traditional Baile de Magos, which returns to the Plaza España following its refurbishment.

The dance will be held on Sunday from 9pm, and those interested in taking part must sign up at the Cultural Centre by this after-

noon (Friday). And dancers must be dressed in the traditional outfit.

Various local musical groups will be playing, including the School of Folklore’s own group from Adeje, Parranda Boleros, from Armeñime, Parranda Boca del Paso, from Taucho, Santa Ana Senior Citizens Club and folk group La Diata, from Tijoco.

Groups from the North, such as Los Campitos, Atavarra and Marzagaye, will also be contributing to the festivities.

Authorities receive training on their fishing regulations THE DEPARTMENT of Environment of the municipality of Arona held this week a training seminar on fishing regulations, aimed at members of the local police in Arona.

It was also attended by members of the Fisheries Inspection, Seprona and the Port Authority, as well as technicians in the area of Fisheries, Agriculture and Livestock of the Cabildo of Tenerife and the Deputy Ministry of Fisheries, Government of the Canary Islands.

The objective of the initiative was focused on informing staff of what, specifically, their role in matters relating to fisheries and the coast, and in that way, their role contributing to the care of the environment and shores.

The department of the environment spokesman said, “To enforce the rules in this matter involves knowing what is permitted in relation to fishing and punish poaching, among other things,

avoiding unfair competition with regard to professional

fishermen, and to protect against any dangers from

the activity of professional fishermen.“

Scally Waggs are scuppered RICHARD SLACK, director of Britannia Alarms in the UK, always plays golf with the Scally Waggs Golf Society when he comes over here.

And this time he was on a mission. He and Society captain Frank Moss decided to stage a two-day competition and raise some cash for charity.

It was held last weekend on the Golf del Sur course, and everyone who competed enjoyed a wonderful two days of golf, raising 1,000 euros for the San Miguel Lions Club.

Individual winners were Daryl Holmes (Sunday) and Eric Bengston (Monday).

In the Team event, played over two days, the poor old Scally Waggs were hammered

by Britannia. But they are already looking forward to next year, and a chance to avenge their defeat.

Patients say farewell to their bumpy rides A NEW 21-seater minibus, provided by Arona Town Hall, has been made available for patients at the occupational centre Rosas del Guanche, in El Mojon.

It was supplied after a request from Social Services to make their daily journeys

for therapeutic treatment sessions at the centre much easier and more comfortable.

Arona Mayor Jose Alberto Gonzalez Reveron and Clara Maria Perez Perez, the Councillor for Social Services, said: “This minibus replaces the previous one, which was smaller, and should help this group’s integration in the daily psychology sessions and sports and leisure-oriented activities.”

Iberia ramp up their business IBERIA Airport Services (IBAS) have signed a three-year agreement with airberlin to provide ramp and passenger services for the airline at Gran Canaria and Tenerife South.

The deal, which starts next month, will strengthen and extend Iberia’s links to the German company.

They already provide a sim-

ilar service for six Spanish airports, and handled more than 3,000 airberlin aircraft last year.

Eduardo García Sansigre, Iberia’s Airports Division Manager, said: “This agreement strengthens commercial relations with an important operator like airberlin.

“It also reinforces Iberia’s position as a handling agent in the Canary Islands and demonstrates the company’s commitment to this sector of the aviation business.”

University’s new links to renewable energy THE Cabildo and the University of La Laguna have signed an agreement to promote renewable energy.

Established by ITER, it includes the installation of solar systems on the roofs and parking zones of the university’s main faculty areas.

The project will go towards diversifying energy-production sources in Tenerife, and so make an impact on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

A Renewable Energy Technology Unit will also be set up in the University’s School of Civil and Industrial Engineering.

It will comprise a demonstration system offering different modules, linked to isolated solar energy, solar thermal power, small winds and mini-hydros.

The unit comes equipped

Page 10

with all the devices necessary for full monitoring, control and management to educate

students about this type of energy. 9Other activities already carried out by ITER in

the University include working, teaching and researching, offering scholarships linked to

this field, conferences and seminars.

They also provide aware-

ness-building campaigns about renewable energy use and its development.

www.canarianweekly.com SERIOUS concerns have been raised about the way some NHS hospitals treat elderly people - including one where patients are prescribed water to make sure they get a drink.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) said three hospitals had broken the law by failing to meet essential standards of care on dignity and nutrition.

The Royal Free Hospital in London, the Alexandra Hospital in Worcestershire and Ipswich Hospital have been given 28 days to improve.

The CQC is inspecting 100 hospitals in England. Reports from the first 12 have just been published.

Inspectors expressed “major” concerns about nutrition at the Alexandra Hospital in Worcestershire, which is part of the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.

They found “meals served and taken to the bedside of people who were asleep or not sitting in the right position to enable them to eat their meal”.

Hot dinners and puddings were left for 15 minutes to go cold before staff found time to assist patients.

Staff said they sometimes had to prescribe drinking water on medication charts to “ensure people get regular drinks”. Some of the concerns raised in this report

A ‘dog-dating’ website has been launched by the Kennel Club to try to ensure pedigree puppies are healthy and free from genetic problems.

Mate Select is the brainchild of the club - whose primary objective is “to promote in every way, the general improvement of dogs” and will connect pedigree dog breeders. It aims to put an end to genetic problems caused by some breeders mating dogs who are too closely related, or “inbred”.

While dogs used to be bred more for work than pet qualities, the changes in society over the past 100 years mean more people are looking for pets and companions and owners who want pedigrees or pure-bred dogs want to have

Hospitals blasted over elderly care

are truly shocking and we are clear that there is simply no excuse for failing to treat patients with the respect and dignity they deserve.

At Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust, inspectors found patients left in night clothes all day and not always taken to the toilet away from where they slept.

Records were not always up-to-date and staff spoke among themselves when

caring for patients rather than to the patient. Staff reported being too busy and over-stretched to provide the care they wanted to, inspectors noted.

Some patients were put to bed at 6pm even though they did not want to be.

At the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, west London, inspectors found staff did not always make sure people had enough to eat and drink.

While many patients got help with eating, some did not and had their trays taken away, and staff rarely asked patients if they had enough to drink.

Food and fluid charts were often “inaccurate, not com-

pleted and not up-to-date”, inspectors found.

Everyone admitted to hospital deserves to be treated as an individual, with compassion and dignity.

Chair of the CQC Jo Williams said most hospitals provided

good care, but at others staff showed a lack of compassion.

“These are not difficult things to get right,” she said.

The fact that staff are still failing to do so is a real concern.”

Chief Executive of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Dr Peter Carter said: “Some of the concerns raised in this report are truly shocking and we are clear that there is simply no excuse for failing to treat patients with the respect and dignity they deserve.

“We know that there are relatively small pockets of the NHS that do not deliver good nursing care and this is unacceptable.”

Health Secretary Andrew Lansley said: “Everyone admitted to hospital deserves to be treated as an individual, with compassion and dignity.

“We must never lose sight of the fact that the most important people in the NHS are its patients.”

Dog dating the best-looking animal they can find.

But good looks come at a price. Inbred - or overbred dogs such as pugs can sometimes have breathing troubles, while German Shepherds and retrievers may be prone to weakness in joints and Dalmatians are often deaf.

The club is hoping that the website will make such problems less likely.

“Mate Select is intended to help breeders and puppy buyers to safeguard the future health of pedigree dogs,” a Kennel Club spokesperson said.

“It basically enables breeders to perform hypothetical matings online and see what impact a mating will have on the genetic diversity (ie the long term health and viability)

27 May 2011 - 02 June 2011

of the breed that they love.

“It will enable breeders to begin to assess the impact that a proposed mating between Kennel Club registered dogs will have on the genetic diversity of a breed.

The service is intended to safeguard the future of pedigree breeds.”

Puppy buyers are also being taken into consideration.

“It also enables puppy buyers to find out health test results for the parents of potential puppies that they buy,” the spokeswoman said.

“This will help to stop people falling into the hands of backstreet dealers, as the results of every single dog registered with the Kennel Club are on this site and so everything is transparent.”

“There is nothing of this kind out there for dog breeders and puppy buyers - although clearly there is a need - and we believe it will make a huge difference to the health of puppies and dog breeds.”

Sky’s the limit for super charity day Sporting stars turn out for Marie Curie Cancer Research fund-raiser

By Jamie Drew AFTER months of preparation, Soccer big Saturday’s Tenerife day had arrived - on Tuesday! and The Clubhouse car park on Amarilla Golf began filling up with competitors.

The event, featuring Sky Sports’ leading football presenters as team captains, attracted nearly 100 golfers for the scheduled 10am teeoff time.

The Texas Scramble shotgun start was open to anybody wishing to enter a team, and the registration fees played a major part towards vital funds being raised for Marie Curie Cancer Research.

The Sky line-up was led by midfielder Chris Kamara, who began his professional career in 1975 at Portsmouth and went on to play for eight other clubs, scoring 71 goals in 641 League appearances.

Kammy, football ambasador of the Cancer Research charity, was a driving force behind the whole project, encouraging his sporting colleagues to join forces with him.

Along came a coachload of them, and first out was central-defender Phil Thompson, who played for the legendary Liverpool sides of the Seventies and Eighties and also represented England 42 times.

Next to emerge was Paul Merson, Arsenal’s striker-cummidfielder hero, who also played for Middlesbrough, Aston Villa and Portsmouth, and won 21 England caps.

Then came “Champagne” Charlie Nicholas, who starred for Celtic Arsenal and Scotland and loved the London high life!

Former Northern Ireland international Iain Dowie, whose career spanned many clubs as both player and manager, including West Ham, QPR, Hull City and Newcastle, followed him into the Clubhouse.

The youngest of the celebrity team captains was last out of the coach. Max Rushden, from the Sky Sports show Soccer AM, holds a wealth of

experience in broadcasting in both radio and TV sports punditry - and he’s only 32!

It took some 40 minutes to register the 22 teams, but they were soon on their buggies and making their way to the respective starting holes.

Kamara and his team were drawn on the first tee, and he sliced his first stroke slightly, sending the ball off towards the right of the fairway.

However, this was not necessarily a bad thing in Texas Scramble. This method of play sees all players teeing off as normal. There are four players to a team and after they’ve played their initial shots, the captain selects the best one.

The position is then marked and the remaining three players retrieve their balls and all four then play their second shot from the marked spot.

However, each team member must have a minimum of four tee shots used during the 18 holes.

Play was well and truly underway, and the weather was perfect for golf: a cloudy, cool start with the beautiful Tenerife sunshine breaking though sporadically before revealing itself from behind the clouds gloriously by midday.

Charlie Nicholas reminded us of Scotland’s traditional lack of sun when he was asked if he needed any suncream on his sixth tee starter point.

Back came his amusing reply: “Anywhere like Tenerife, all Scotsmen need Factor Duffle Coat to stop burning.”

So, with suncream aplenty, the day continued. Oasis Fm were on the course, with Chris Elkington and Roscoe playing in Max Rushden’s team.

Yours truly was also on the course as a roving reporter for Oasis Fm, linking up with the studio during the Breakfast Show with Pip Brown, and later with Joe Ferguson on The Linekers Lunchtime Show.

Oasis provided live updates from different parts of the course throughout, and the Sky celebrities were more than happy to take time out to have a chat live on air.

In one interview, while talking with Joe Ferguson, Phil Thompson mentioned the “bond” between them all when they work together on Soccer Saturday, and the fact that they are all genuine friends.

This was apparent in abundance as the teams moved around the course. A great bunch of guys!

Amarilla Golf has beautifullykept greens, which seemed a little forgiving, allowing the lesser-skilled players an easier task when holing the ball. The course is also easy to navigate around, with sea views and amazing panoramic views of Mount Teide.

The standard of golf was high and the youngest competitor, just 14, played off a handicap of just 10. After 11 holes, The Jolly Boys were flying at six-under par, but stumbled with two bogies over the next three holes.

But as word got around the course that things were pretty even, the competitive spirit emerged, and teams started to up their game.

The “ping” sound of a great drive was more apparent on the back nine than the ungrateful “thud” of badlyhooked shot heard quite a few times on the front nine.

As with all sport, elements of luck played a part as the wind changed often, gusting across the fairway for some, then hardly at all for others, allowing longer and more accurate flight of the ball.

This is obviously advantageous when playing the Texas.

A Sky Sports TV crew were also on the course, documenting the day’s golf action and conducting interviews with the Soccer Saturday boys, which was set to be aired last night (Thursday).

As the teams finished their final holes and began returning to the Clubhouse, staff at the bar were suddenly very busy!

Scorecards were handed in and the scoring process began. The teams stayed at the Clubhouse for a short while, chatting and exchanging stories of their experiences throughout the day.

They then made their way to the Terrace Bar, just down the road at Pebble Beach, for the main presentation and barbecue.

Oh yes, Phil Thompson’s team were victorious. By a nose, I was told from a reliable source!

Super Soccer Saturday evening raises £20,000!

Merson and Co dazzle at Showtime’s grand charity event THE evening after the successful golf event at Amarilla Golf saw the charity focus switch to the Showtime venue at Karting Las Americas.

Tickets had sold out months ago, and over 225 people attended Soccer Saturday Live!

It was the first time the guys from the popular Sky Sports show had done an evening event as a “team”, and their infectious camaraderie set the tone for a fabulous evening.

Pictures were taken with the celebrities at the start of the evening, before they were introduced to the crowd. They all received a warm ovation, and none more so than Arsenal legend Paul Merson, who tripped and fell on to the stage head first!

A film of some of the funniest Soccer Saturday moments, including the famous Chris Kamara “Beavers” section, brought the house down,

before the main part of the evening got underway.

Liverpool legend Phil Thompson was the opening speaker, and he put himself in the frame for a spot at the Tenerife Comedy Club.

Thommo's polished after-dinner speaking delivery won over even the staunchest Man United fan.

After his standing ovation, it was the turn of Paul Merson.

Former midfielder Merse had obviously gotten over his earlier fall (Dorada works wonders it seems), as he stormed the show with his hilarious tales of life as a trainee footballer.

Dolphin waxing, bets with Gazza, trips to William Hill and run-ins with Graham Taylor will be retold in Tenerife bars for years to come.

After the main course, it was the turn of Ricky Hatton. Along with Soccer Am host Max Rushden and former West Ham player Iain Dowie, Ricky had flown in at short notice to replace Jeff Stelling and Alan McInally.

The Hitman didn’t disappoint

and even managed to slay Oasis Fm’s Roscoe, who was hosting the evening, with a quip about his suit.

Chris Kamara rounded off the after-dinner speeches with a spectacular set that lampooned the missing Jeff Stelling.

Soccer Saturday Live followed the deserts and liquors as the celebrity panel took a question-and-answer session.

Celtic legend Charlie Nicholas fielded a few questions on the club’s demise, while musing on the joys of the return of Kirsty Gallagher to Sky Sports News.

Ricky Hatton picked David Haye to see off Wladimir Klitschko in their forthcoming fight, while Paul Merson tried to get the bookies’ table to take a 5,000-euro wager on Harry Redknapp being the next Chelsea manager.

Max Rushden had some interesting views on his show and the Soccerettes, and Iain Dowie made his case for being the next West Ham manager.

Phil Thompson revealed that

he wouldn’t swop his European Cup-winners medals for a World Cup success, and Chris Kamara explained how Manchester United could beat Barcelona in the Champions League final.

The rest of the banter stays in the room!

A round of heads-or-tails raised nearly 900 euros, and there was even more collected for the Marie Curie Cancer Care charity through a raffle and auction.

The final total was just a couple of euros shy of 20,000 euros, but the celebrities put their hands in the pockets to boost the total up to £20,000!

It was a remarkable evening and a fantastic few days.

So many people helped in so many ways to make the week a roaring success. Special thanks must go to Greg, from Hole In The Wall, all the staff at Showtime, Club La Costa and Venture Restaurants.

And yes, plans are already being drawn up for next year’s extravaganza!

Stelling’s Countdown to retirement and Roscoe delivers a brilliant scoop OASIS Fm, Tenerife’s leading radio station, scored an exclusive on Tuesday when Countdown presenter Jeff Stelling revealed he was quitting the Channel 4 show.

The 55-year-old, who also presents Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday, should have been playing in the Sky celebrity golf tournament on the Amarilla course that day.

Instead, he was involved in

Sky’s transmission of Manchester United’s testimonial match for the retiring Gary Neville against Juventus at Old Trafford.

Oasis Breakfast DJ Roscoe phoned Stelling in the morning for a chat about the golf event and was astonished to be told: “I’ll give you a little world exclusive.

“Because I’m doing the Champions League for Sky next season, I’ve actually resigned from Countdown and I’ll be finishing at the end of December.”

Several UK newspapers picked up the story, including the Daily Mirror and the Daily Mail - who had the courtesy to accredit Oasis Fm. Stelling has proved a popular host of Countdown, the long-running Channel 4 word game, but after more than two years, he’s had enough-.

He added: “You’ve got to really have your priorities, and my priority is football, I love it, and Soccer Saturday, so I’ve committed myself

very much to that next season.”

Stelling, who has juggled both roles since he accepted the Countdown job in 2008, said he would never leave Soccer Saturday.

He told Roscoe: “When I can’t get into the studio, it’s because I’ll be in my wheelchair. It’s the love of my life - wife and kids excepted.”

A Channel 4 spokesman said: “Jeff will have had a brilliant three years on the show and we’ll be sad to see him go.”

Can’t get no satisfaction?

Just get your guitar out!

PEOPLE who visit museums and concerts, or play an instrument, have the most satisfied lives, regardless of how educated or rich they are.

But the link between culture and feeling good about oneself is not quite the same in both sexes, according to a new study, published in the British Medical Association’s Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

For men, passive activities such as taking in a concert or museum exhibition are associated with an upbeat mood and better health, it found.

Yet for women, the link is active because they were less likely to feel anxious, depressed or feel unwell if they played music or created art.

Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology analysed information gleaned from nearly 51,000 adults living in a particular county there.

The participants were asked detailed questions

about their leisure habits, and how they perceived their own state of health, satisfaction with life and levels of depression and anxiety.

The results were unambiguous and somewhat unexpected: not only was the correlation strong between cultural activities and happiness, but men felt better when they were spectators. while women clearly preferred doing rather than watching.

Even more surprising was that wealth and education were not an issue. “After adjusting for relevant confounding factors, it seemed that cultural participation was independently associated with good health, a low depression score and satisfaction with life dependent on gender,” the study said.

“The results indicate that the use of cultural activities in health promotion and healthcare may be justified.”

But there are still questions about cause and effect: are people healthier and happier because they are cultured? Or do they seek out more culture because they feel good to begin with?

Queen welcomes Obamas at Buck House banquet!

THE QUEEN has hosted a banquet at Buckingham Palace for US President Barack Obama, attended by 171 celebrities, politicians and dignitaries.

Film star and producer Kevin Spacey, Virgin founder Richard Branson, actress Helena Bonham Carter and former Prime Minister Tony Blair were among the highprofile guests at the Palace.

In her welcome speech to Mr Obama and his wife Michelle, the Queen celebrated the special relationship between the US and Great Britain, highlighting their “shared history, common language and strong intellectual and cultural links”.

She spoke of having “fond memories” of her first meeting with the Obamas at the G20 conference in London in 2009 and later hosting Michelle Obama and their two daughters.

The Queen’s warm welcome was reciprocated by the President, who said he brought with him the good wishes of tens of millions of Americans with British heritage.

He also referred to the friendly relationship established between the two families, saying: “I bring warm

Page 14

greetings from Malia and Sasha who adored you even before you let them ride on a carriage on the Palace grounds.”

To conclude, the president proposed a toast to the Queen, but there appeared to be a mistake as the band played the opening bars to God Save the Queen before he had finished.

Obama continued with his toast, speaking over the music in citing the special relationship between the British and American people and quoting William Shakespeare’s tribute to “to this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England” from Richard II. “To the queen,” Obama concluded as the music played on.

When the music ended, Obama repeated, “to the queen,” and the audience, clearly confused by the turn of events, delayed a few seconds before applauding.

The US president and his wife had travelled to Number Ten earlier in the day after laying a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Westminster Abbey.

Mr Obama also visited the Globe Academy in Southwark, where he partnered Mr Cameron for a doubles game of table tennis against two teenagers.

During a busy day, the

President had a “warm and friendly” discussion with Labour leader Ed Miliband and also met the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on their first official engagement since their wedding.

Mr and Mrs Obama chatted with Prince William and his new bride Kate at the Palace in private for around 15 minutes.

The Obamas were not at the Royal Wedding last month but told Prince Charles on his US visit how America had been fascinated by the nuptials.

The meeting was William and Kate’s first Royal duty as a married couple, who only returned from their honeymoon in the Seychelles at the weekend.

The new Duchess looked tanned in a coffee-coloured cap sleeved dress from the high street store Reiss.

Demand for the dress crashed the shop’s site after the Duchess’ appearance and it sold out within hours.

The Obamas had arrived in the UK 12 hours early from Ireland amid fears the volcanic ash cloud could disrupt their schedule.

At the Palace, they stayed in the luxury Belgian Suite where aides have brought their own glass for the windows for extra security.

It is the same opulent set of rooms where Prince William and his wife Catherine spent their first

night as a married couple.

At the Palace, the Obamas, the Queen and Philip, Charles and Camilla all watched a 41gun salute.

Mr Obama then inspected the troops with Philip while his wife and the Queen remained on the steps.

They later had a private lunch with the Queen and Philip and a viewing of a special exhibition in the royal picture gallery.

In the traditional exchange of gifts, the Obamas gave the Queen a collection of rare memorabilia and photos chronicling her parents’ visit to the US in 1939.

They also gave Prince Philip a custom-made set of Fell Pony bits and shanks and original horseshoes from the recently retired champion carriage horse Jamaica.

Prince Charles and his wife received plants and seeds from the gardens of Mount Vernon, Monticello and the White House and jars of honey from its beehive.

The Royals gave the Obamas copies of letters from the Royal Archives between various presidents and Queen Victoria. Mrs Obama was also given an antique coral broach.

The state visit is only the third to the UK by a US president in 100 years and comes at a time of renewed cooperation over Libya, the Middle East and counter-terrorism.

Ratko Mladic arrested Twitter buys by the Serbian Police TweetDeck THE SERBIAN president has confirmed that alleged war criminal Ratko Mladic has been arrested following an anonymous tipoff.

Mladic, now 68, is accused of masterminding the 44month siege of Sarajevo that left 10,000 people dead in 1995 and the massacre in July of the same year of around 8,000 Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica.

He was the most prominent Bosnian war crimes suspect at large since the arrest of Radovan Karadzic in 2008.

Serbian President Boris Tadic confirmed that Mladic had been arrested and said that “all war criminals must face justice.”

He said: “This is the result of cooperation of Serbia with the Hague Tribunal.

“I have always believed in our

strategy and the work of everyone involved in this process.

“Today we close one chapter of our recent history that will bring us one step closer to full reconciliation in the region.

Sky’s Alex Rossi said the question in many people’s minds is why it has taken so long to arrest Mladic - who went on the run in 1995.

“He has managed to evade

capture for sixteen years.

Serbia, where he was arrested, is not a large place.

“How did he hide? Who was sponsoring him? Who was helping him? Where parts of the state’s apparatus shielding him from justice?

“Those questions remain unanswered but nevertheless this is a major step from the Serbian government in its rehabilitation.”

Speaking at the G8 Summit

in Deauville, France, Prime Minister David Cameron said we must not forget the crimes Mladic is alleged to have carried out.

“He (Mladic) is accussed of the most appalling war crimes - both in terms of what happened not only in Srebrenica but also in Sarajevo.

All crimes have to be fully investigated and all war criminals must face justice.

“There’s a very good reason why the long arm of the international law has been looking for this man for such a long time,” added Cameron.

British Defence Secretary Dr Liam Fox said: “It’s clearly one that has to be welcomed.

“It gives the people of Serbia a chance to close, or at least begin to close, a very unhappy chapter in their history.

“It’s a reminder to all those who fly in the face of international justice that sooner or later they will be brought to book for their crimes.”

Singer Cheryl Cole ‘dropped by US X Factor’ CHERYL COLE has been replaced as a judge on the new US version of The X Factor.

An insider said the singer is to be replaced as judge by former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger.

Showbiz website TMZ earlier claimed the Girls Aloud star was axed from the show because her Geordie accent was “too thick”.

She was originally due to be on the panel alongside veteran US singer Paula Abdul, X Factor supremo Simon Cowell and respected former record boss LA Reid.

Cole, 27, has not responded to claims she was fired. Her website only says auditions are due to be held in Dallas, Texas.

The much-hyped US show created by Cowell is the high-

light of Fox’s autumn TV schedule and offers an unprecedented $5m (£3.5m) prize to the winner.

An insider told Us Weekly: “It’s true. She isn’t on the show anymore. Everyone is gobsmacked. This came out of nowhere.

“She had already been tested countless times. Simon had nothing to do with it. This is the network’s doing.”

Scherzinger, 32, was originally lined up to co-present the programme, which makes its debut in September, with Welsh TV host Steve Jones.

On the first day of auditions on May 10 the 27-year-old insisted Americans were able to understand what she was saying.

“I’ve been here a lot, I’ve got

27 May 2011 - 02 June 2011

a lot of American friends and we have the odd moments where they’re like ‘What? What did that mean?’ - you know, a phrase,” she said.

“But I think that it’s going to be something that people get used to. And I’m proud of my accent.” Her place on the panel had only been confirmed by Cowell a week earlier.

When Cowell was asked about the singer’s accent he joked that she could mime to someone else’s voice to get round any problems.

According to The Sun, Cole decided to return to Britain because she is homesick.

Sky News entertainment editor Jon Bennett doubts the reports of Cole leaving the show are part of an orchestrated PR campaign to drum

up publicity. “It’s easy to see why cynics can argue this is simply yet another publicity stunt.

“This week has seen the finale of American Idol, the main rival to X Factor, so it’s been generating a lot of headlines in America,” Bennett said.

Bennett suspects a lack of chemistry between Cole and the hugely popular Abdul is the core problem on the show.

“It seems to me more likely that Cole’s face didn’t fit. Shots of Cheryl at public appearances with fellow judge Paula Abdul have seemed to show an uneasy relationship between the pair,” Bennett said.

“I’d bet that this was far more important than any issues over Cheryl’s accent or her supposed homesickness.”

in £25m deal

London-based application company TweetDeck has been sold to micro-blogging site Twitter in a £25m deal.

The internet tool, which describes itself as a “personal browser” that allows people to “tweet like a pro”, was created by 36-year-old Iain Dodsworth.

The man, who is reportedly set to become a millionaire following the sale of his Old Street-based company, announced on his website: “I am extremely happy and proud to let you know that TweetDeck has been acquired

by Twitter.”

He added: “We completed the deal on Tuesday and arenow in the process of ‘joining the flock’.”

Twitter’s communications department has not commented on the purchase.

The San Francisco company only tweeted a short message on Tuesday saying: “For all those who might be curious, we continue to not comment on rumours.”

TweetDeck allows users to view and manage their updates and connect their Twitter accounts with other social networking sites, including Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and Foursquare.

Rumours about the sale of TweetDeck, which was founded three years ago, started in mid-April.

But Mr Dodsworth and Twitter officials would not confirm the sale.

He suggested on Twitter earlier this week he had been inundanted by calls from the press.

In a tweet on Tuesday, he said: “An impressive number of people seem to have my mobile number and like to ring it at 4am.”

Amazon is recruiting 900 staff in Scotland ONLINE retailer Amazon is to create hundreds of new jobs in the second major expansion of its Scottish operation this year.

The firm will bring 500 permanent and 400 temporary positions to a new customer service centre in Edinburgh.

The announcement in the capital today comes just months after Amazon unveiled plans for 950 full-time jobs in Scotland.

The new customer service centre in Edinburgh will open in August, a few months before Amazon’s one million square foot fulfilment centre in Dunfermline.

First Minister Alex Salmond said: “Amazon is globally recognised as a leader in online retail and I am delighted that the company is expanding its Scottish operations with the creation of a new customer services centre in Edinburgh.

“Amazon has a substantial

presence in Scotland and this announcement is testament to the quality, strength and skills of its Scottish workforce.

‘This news provides a significant boost to the local economy, creates 900 jobs in the heart of Edinburgh, and demonstrates the company’s commitment to working in Scotland.

“The Scottish Government, Scottish Development International and Scottish Enterprise is working hard to attract new jobs and investment to communities across the country. Vice president of European operations and customer service at Amazon Allan Lyall said: “Scotland has been home to a number of Amazon fulfilment centres for many years and we are delighted to be expanding our operations within the country with a new customer service centre and fulfilment facility.”

Britons 'like Ostriches' over their pensions BRITONS fear a cash-strapped retirement but fail to plan for their old age, according to a study by HSBC. Fifty-seven percent of the 1,000 UK respondents aged between 30 and 59 years expect work-based pensions to become less and less generous, but their global peers are streets ahead in their efforts to plan for the likely shortfall.

"The emergence of this ostrich generation is a real concern. Britons know that they need to plan and save more for their retirement, yet they are not turning this knowledge into action," said David Wells, head of investments, pensions and savings at HSBC. Mark Twigg, executive director at Cicero Consulting and report author, said women in

Page 16

their 50s, who often have little or no personal pension savings, are the most pessimistic. Among UK respondents, people who think they will be worse off than their parents outnumber those who think the opposite by 22 percent - the largest percentage after France and the United States, where reforms to generous state and corporate pensions are also set to cut pension incomes.

Pension reforms aimed at avoiding poverty in old age by encouraging savings have not yet sunk in with the British public either. Only 42 percent of the UK sample has heard of the new National Employment Savings Trust, the pension scheme designed to cater for low to medium income workers with no pension schemes from 2012.

Bea’s bonnet sells for £81k PRINCESS Beatrice’s outlandish royal wedding hat has sold for £81,100 in an internet auction.

Proceeds from the sale of the unique Philip Treacy headpiece, described on auction site eBay as being made of “delicate tea rose silk”, will go to two charities nominated by the princess.

The 22-year-old sparked controversy on her cousin Prince William’s wedding day by donning the eccentric creation, which has since been compared to a toilet seat, a cat flap and a Turkey Twizzler.

Her decision to post it on eBay led to a flurry of bids being placed.

The sale was interrupted when what the website called “a technical issue” led to the auction being suspended on Saturday, however.

The site was later back up

and running with a starting price of £80,000 - and as of 3am on Sunday, the top bid by an anonymous buyer was £80,200.

All the money raised will go to Unicef and Children In Crisis via the Little Bee Initiative,

which was set up by Beatrice specifically for the auction.

Pictures poking fun at the hat have been included on the eBay page, including one submitted by a member of the public showing Star Trek characters holding the item and

saying: “Fascinators on stun.”

Beatrice commented on the site: “I’ve been amazed by the amount of attention the hat has attracted.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to raise as much money as possible for two fantastic charities.

“I hope whoever wins the auction has as much fun with the hat as I have.”

The description on the auction site calls the hat a “unique sculptural celebratory headpiece”.

Treacy himself said he had been “surprised by the overwhelming response” to his hat.

A spokeswoman for Children in Crisis said: “We are absolutely delighted, it’s so exciting.

“Children in Crisis and Unicef are so happy that Princess Beatrice chose to benefit our two charities doing this fantastic auction.”

Comedian rescues lamb A lamb which was dumped in a wheelie bin has found a new home - with comedian Paul O’Grady.

The month-old lamb, named Winston, was found in among rubbish in Manchester on April 18.

After hearing about its plight, O’Grady, who already has a small flock of sheep, offered to take in the animal.

The lamb received treatment for an ulcerated eye but was otherwise unharmed

by its ordeal. It was bottle fed by a fosterer around the clock before being transported to O’Grady’s property in Kent last week.

The comedian and television presenter said: “Winston is a big, strong, healthy boy now nothing like the state he was in when they found him. “He’s

skipping around and has got his own barn so he is very happy. He’s very friendly and loves human company. He’s in his element.”

RSPCA inspector Caroline Hall said: “We still need to find out who was behind Winston being dumped, but it’s so nice to see him gambolling around in his new home.

“We are very grateful to Paul and his animal care staff for helping to give Winston such a great new start in life after his unhappy beginnings.”

MARIANO E ZUNINO SIRI Understanding the Law Email: marianozunino@canarianweekly.com

THE updated Canary Decree 90/2010 of the Regulation of Tourist Activities of Restaurants was published in the Canary Official Bulletin of 30th July 2010.

Our regulations for restaurants and bars

The Decree develops several aspects of the tourist activities and the premises of restaurant and pubs. It considers that the restaurant, bar-cafeteria activities are included within the tourist sector.

The regulation has changed the old classification for restaurants and bars, referring basically to places where you can purchase food and drink.

Any other activity is not included in this regulation, such as cases of free foods, ferias (fairs), etc. The new classification now concerns restaurants and bar-cafes.

The difference is the type of food served in each

place (a bar-cafeteria would be a place for fast-food).

Every premises must exhibit a plate or sign with its classification. The general conditions of those places would be 1. To have independent exit to take rubbish out of the premises 2. To have Spanish speaking staff There are other conditions, which say they must have: 1.

Smoke-extracting devices 2. An area for storage (which would be in the same place, or next to it, or not more that 100m away.

Premises located in a hotel

27 May 2011 - 02 June 2011

can use the hotel’s storage room) 3. Rubbish containers 4. A Complaints Book.

The Decree also talks about the toilet features (gents and ladies), accepting that some places, such as bars located in a bus station or commercial centre, could be exempt from hav-

ing toilets inside the bar.

Concerning the name of the place, anyone can choose the title he/she wants, taking into account the eventual collision and confusion with names already registered, to owners and the public respectively.

The restaurant or bar must have a detailed menu.

The owner must inform the Cabildo of the opening and closing times.

Canarian Weekly has received an email concerning last week’s front-page story about the “Spanishspeaking staff” rule. The meaning of the Decree is that “at least one member

of the staff must speak Spanish”.

It sounds logic, especially for hotels and restaurants with many employees. But in the tourist areas of South Tenerife, there are many small bars or pubs run by a couple (or a family) whose members do not speak Spanish, mainly because most of the customers speak English.

So what can these small bars do? According to the Decree, there are exceptions to the rules outlined, (including the one about Spanish-speaking staff) based on technical reasons, features of the bar, environment, capacity and so

on.

A dispensation should be applied for at the Cabildo before opening, and the authority must respond within two months.

The Decree, in operation since 31st July last year, states that those businesses which were operating before that date, must adapt to that regulation within a year - before 1st August 2011.

Accion del Sol group reach the heights of their fund-raising!

ACCION del Sol’s Teide Challenge seemed quite a pleasant idea when it was first mooted, but several hardy volunteers discovered just what a hard slog it was on Saturday, But they all agreed that it was worth making the supreme effort, even though it meant getting up in the early hours.

The “Happy Hikers” group started out at Montaña Blanca at 6am in pitch darkness and reached the Refugio de Altavista three hours later.

La Rambleta (Teleférico) was their next port of call, some 90 minutes on and then, after final permit checks, they reached the summit at 11.15am and really were astonished at the scene from above.

“Absolutely phenomenal”, “Fantastic”, “Amazing” and “The highlight of our year”, were just a few of their comments.

A really big thank-you from Accion del Sol volunteer Karen Clack goes to Dymphna Byrne, for helping her organise the event, and taking part with all these other hardy hik-

ers: Steve Kirkwood, Christopher Ross, Stephen Booth, Amina Choudry, Debbie Bliss, Jose Antonio Borges Hernandez, Selina Ann Bradley, Scott Anthony Bradley, Alan Gonzalex Kope, Sascha Kruschet, Angela Clay, Nicola and Mark Rowe, Julie Kempson, Judith Boon, Jesus Morera, KimberlyMcQuiggan and Mark Campbell.

Karen added: “It was a great achievement for the entire group - and all in aid of Accion del Sol. Many thanks to each and everyone of you for your sponsorship and support.”

Coming back down to earth at the refuge, it was a great week for adoptions, because 10 dogs were found loving homes. One lovely black

cross-Labrador arrived at the refuge in very poor condition and still needs a further operation on his back leg, which his new master and mistress are happy to provide.

It means this lucky Lab has definitely landed “on all four paws “ with his new Belgium owners. As there has been a high increase in the number of dogs coming in, a plea has gone out from Marion Gonzalez, who runs the Accion centre, asking for donations of collars, leads, balls and play toys, towels, blankets and sheets, which would be much appreciated. Please call the refuge on 922 778 630, or Karen (687 905 511) if you would like your donated items collected.

Do come and visit Accion del Sol if you are looking to adopt a dog. The refuge is open Monday-Friday (3-6pm) and is situated at junction 51 on the TF1 directly next to ITER the ecological wind farm at Granadilla poligono Industrial Estate. Also, you can join their Accion del Sol Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ home.php?ref=canvas#!/profile.php?id=10000072904246 0 to learn more about the animal sanctuary and see all the daily updates on the good work done there.

You can also learn all about their fund raising events, which are always good fun for the family, and see some of the beautiful dogs who are looking for new homes.

Changing lives, through those discarded glasses IN just about any household, there’s usually a pair of spectacles that are no longer being used, and the owner says: “I’ll just keep these as a spare pair.”

Sound familiar? In the drawer they go, never to see the light of day again. But did you know that those spectacles can change another person’s life?

According to The World Health Organisation, 153 million people have uncorrected, refractive errors (near-sightedness, far-sightedness or astigmatism). Most of these vision impairments are diagnosed quickly and are easy to treat with corrective lenses.

Yet millions of people in developing nations are pushed

deeper into poverty simply because they don’t have glasses.

They can’t learn, because reading is difficult. They can’t work to the best of their ability, because they can’t see clearly.

For children, clear vision means a better education, healthier development and a

better quality of life. For adults, it means greater employment opportunity and economic strength. For seniors, it means less dependence on others.

The International Lions sponsor a worldwide collection and distribution of used spectacles to third-world countries, where the recipients are not interested in the fashion statement of the frames, but in the lenses to let them have sight.

As part of that worldwide effort, Tenerife Sur Lions Club are looking Norman Goodall, with Pepe and Ana at the San to collect Clemente opticians unwanted spec-

tacles through their charity shops and other participating supporters.

Los Cristianos opticians San Clemente Opticas, in Av. de Suecia, kindly agreed to ask clients to donate their old and unwanted spectacles - and filled the Lions collecting box quickly.

Norman Goodall MBE, Tenerife Sur Lions Club President, was on hand to receive them and express grateful thanks to the staff, Laura, Pepe and Ana, on behalf of the Lions and for those who will ultimately benefit.

So why not clear out that drawer and give that “spare pair” to change a life? Lions Charity Shops are in Costa Silencio and Los Cristiano

Live UEFA Champions League Final Saturday 28 May, 7:00pm, ITV1 It's a dream final with Barcelona v Manchester United (kick-off 7.45pm) offering Alex Ferguson's team the chance of revenge at Wembley after losing the final to the Catalan team two years ago. Barcelona's intoxicating free-flowing football makes them favourites with the bookies, as well as with neutrals. The fact is that defending against Lionel Messi's close dribbling is next to impossible, so United's best option is to stop the ball getting to him in dangerous areas. Defensive duties, therefore, start at the edge of Barcelona's penalty area, meaning even Wayne Rooney will have to hare about when not on the ball and stifle Barรงa's passing out of defence.

accoladed to atone for the shameful treatment meted out to the subject of Martha Coolidge’s earnest, but unrevealing TV biopic.

A poor judge of men and material, actress Dandridge was responsible for some of her own woes, but too little is made of the institutionalised racism that blighted 1950s Tinseltown and transformed the Oscar-nominated star of Carmen Jones into a marginalised, pill-popping drunk. Despite the award, Berry is too slight a talent for the part and she’s easily overshadowed by Klaus Maria Brandauer’s imposing Otto Preminger.

Formula 1 – The Monaco Grand Prix 12.05pm, BBC1 Live coverage comes from one of the most prestigious races in the Formula 1 calendar, the Monaco Grand Prix from Monte Carlo.

Britain’s Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton have both won here but it was Red Bull’s Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel who dominated last year. All four are set to make it a fascinating battle this year.

Michael Schumacher will be hoping that memories of his five victories here help kick-start his season with Mercedes GP after a lack-

lustre opening to the campaign.

The programme is presented by Jake Humphrey, with commentary from Martin Brundle and David Coulthard – a two-time winner of this race.

Louis Theroux – Miami MegaJail 9.00pm, BBC2 Louis Theroux concludes his exploration into Miami Mega-Jail, one of America’s largest and most violent of prisons crammed with 6,000 inmates, and a holding pen for the un-convicted. Like a large number of those locked up in America,

the inmates are awaiting trial, and that wait can last for years and years.

Tonight, Louis goes deeper into the jail system meeting an alleged triple murderer facing a possible death sentence. He also follows a group of 40 or so younger inmates who have escaped prison by pleading guilty and agreeing to attend a four-month military style boot camp.

Among them is a 14-yearold boy facing a possible 10-year sentence for armed robbery if he can’t survive the boot camp’s relentless and brutal training and indoctrination programme. Many will drop out and receive prison sentences, but for a handful this will be their second chance at life.

Rachel, Janet and the team through their new murder case, in which a young Turkish woman has been killed in her home and her death made to look like suicide.

Rachel throws herself into the investigation, soon discovering that the victim’s husband was having an affair with a woman named Mana (Kiran Landa).

When questioned, Mana calmly refutes all accusations that she intended any harm to her lover’s wife.

Has Rachel’s high-stakes approach jeopardised the

case - or will she get results? Meanwhile, Rachel is also occupied with using her police privileges to carry out an investigation into her ex Nick - and is horrified to discover that he is married with two children.

Janet has her own shock in store when she is contacted

by Geoff Hastings (Kevin Doyle), the brother of her closest school friend who was abducted and murdered when they were still at primary school.

Geoff asks if she will reopen the case and Janet agrees to take another look at the evidence.

JOE ‘IN MY OPINION’ FERGUSON

W E D N E S D A Y

Weekly Update Email: joe.ferguson@canarianweekly.com

Your new Liverpool superstar!

A FEW weeks back I had a family friend over who, like me, is a huge Liverpool FC fan.

As I had business to take care of in Los Cristianos the day of the match I arranged to meet him outside Taylors Lounge to watch the game.

The night before, I had checked with Casey from the bar whether it would be possible to reserve a table.

This is something I have never done, especially in Tenerife.

But my thinking was that as I would be on my feet early that day, it would be nice to sit, watch and chill.

Casey, ever the professional, said: “No problems, consider it done.” So, after what turned out to be not much hard work really, I made my way to Taylors and, as usual, it was packed because the Man U match was an early kick-off.

Met my friend and went to the bar. Casey had just arrived for work and explained that a table should be free after that first match. I said that would be lovely, but as the Liverpool game was on the outside screen, it was no bother really.

So, just standing in the sun having a laugh and a pint was great. Unknown to me, Casey had mentioned to the other lovely staff that I was expecting a table and, it seemed, each member approached us to say sorry for the delay. I, in turn, just explained it was fine.

May I say at this point that this is the level of service everyone gets from the

Page 32

establishment. But my friend thought I was getting special treatment.

I explained with all the different matches on that day, a lot of people would be wanting to crowd around the television showing their team’s match.

But my paranoia was getting the worst of me, and I was praying that the staff did not think I was some kind of diva.

I just wanted to watch the TV and, whether standing or sitting, it did not matter to me. We did get a table and all was brilliant, even though our team lost!

Now, I’m the type of person who does things for myself when out. By that, I mean I get my own drink by walking up to the bar and, even when I eat’ I have to take the empty plates to as near to the kitchen as I possibly can.

I do get funny looks as I do this, but it’s a thing my Mother always taught me: treat staff who are doing a job with respect and give a helping hand whenever you can.

So if you see me getting up from an area which has waiting service, I mean no disrespect by it. So all in all, a lovely day - even though the score sucked.

We said our goodbyes to Casey and as many of the staff as I could possibly see.

I talked about it the next day on my radio show, explaining my paranoia setting in, and that if I looked shifty, I was so sorry.

At the weekend, I again went to Taylors, this time with Producer Len, from my show, to watch the final games of the season. And while getting a drink, I was approached by Casey’s Mum Lyn, with I have spoken

numerous times. She took me to one side and: “Oh Joe, I have something really embarrassing to tell you.” At this time, my paranoia went into overload.

What was happening? I'm betting they all hate me, or they heard I kicked up a stink that a table was not ready.

I looked for a quick exit, but no chance: to right of me, Man Utd supporters, and to the left, Everton. I’m in my Liverpool colours, and it could turn nasty if I bump into any of them. Oh God … what do I do?

Lyn explained that she had received a phone call to say I had asked to have a table reserved to watch the game. To which she replied that, obviously, I could.

That’s what you expect.

BUT by this time, she had told everybody that Joe Ferguson, the Liverpool player, was watching his team in the bar!

I’m sure football fans thought she was crazy.

From what Lyn told me, it was only when, on reflection, she figured out that it was only the tall, skinny, bald bloke off the radio.

I had my friends Jo and Tim with me, and we all fell about laughing on hearing this.

However, I know now never to reserve a table anywhere - ever again! For me it’s just too much for my paranoia to take.

I will say, though, that everyone is treated like a VIP in Taylors Lounge. So thank you to Casey, Lyn, Paul and all the staff, who must think I’m mental saying thank-you every two minutes.

By the way Lyn, I’m a little too old to play for Liverpool.

Man Utd maybe!

Joe

4:30pm, BBC1 The multi-award winning Horrible Histories returns to CBBC in May with another series packed to the rafters with fascinating facts, silly songs, popular pastiches and gruesome gags.

This year children will be treated to a double dose of historical fun as the brandnew game show Gory Games presented by Come Dine With Me’s Dave Lamb and Horrible Histories’ very own Rattus Rattus will run alongside Horrible Histories to delight and disgust its young audience in equal measure.

Series three follows on from the phenomenal success of series two which waltzed away with the Best Sketch Show gong at the British Comedy Awards, gaining the prestige of being the first ever children’s programme to be recognised at the ceremony.

Damian Kavanagh, Controller CBBC, says: “Horrible Histories is a standout critical and ratings success for CBBC loved as much by adults as by our young viewers. The 11 awards the series has now picked are testament to its enormous appeal. Series three is a belter and is even bigger and better than the last.”

Based on the best-selling books written by Terry Deary and illustrated by Martin Brown, Horrible Histories features performances from some of the UK’s finest comedy talent.

Series three features special guest star Tanni GreyThompson as a news presenter in The Olympic Games Sport Report, David Baddiel (Baddiel And Skinner Unplanned, Newman and

Page 34

Baddiel) returns as Vincenzo Larfoff, and Dave Lamb also voices another spoof Come Dine With Me. The series also stars Horrible Histories’ main cast Mathew Baynton (Gavin & Stacey), Simon Farnaby (Your Highness), Martha Howe Douglas (The Armstrong & Miller Show) Jim Howick (Reggie Perrin), Laurence Rickard (Balls Of Steel) and Ben Willbond (Rev). Terry Deary also pops up during the series playing a series of cameos including the Venerable Bede.

Packed full of strange facts, rotten rulers, gory battles, crazy inventions and weird and wonderful moments from the past, Horrible Histories offers a tantalising taste of days gone by. Series three covers every era from the Stone Age to the First World War, with new additions including terrible tales from the Angry Aztecs, the Fabulous French and the Nasty Knights.

From Slimy Stuarts to Groovy Greeks and Awful Egyptians to Gorgeous Georgians, each episode features a mixture of sketches from different ages, plus commentary from the show’s talented host Rattus Rattus the talking rat. And there are pastiches of some familiar television formats, including Masterchef, Wife Swap, Fashion Fix, Gardeners World, Dragons Den and Come Dine With Me. Death returns to quiz the recently deceased on the manner of their demise in Stupid Deaths, Shouty Man promotes a range of goods from across the ages and more patients are treated

for bizarre cures from the Historical Paramedics.

No series of Horrible Histories would be complete without a selection of historical songs and this series the show has surpassed itself with a devilishly difficult ditty which features every Monarch from William the Conqueror to Queen Elizabeth II. Other featured tunes include an Adam Ant style homage to Dick Turpin, and songs about suffragettes and bad emperors.

As a special treat the final episode will feature a special compilation of songs from the series.

Series producer Caroline Norris says: “Our viewers never fail to surprise us with their passion for the show; they pick up the lyrics so quickly that we thought we would try to make things a little more difficult for them with our Ruthless Rulers song. Our composer Richie Webb has done an amazing job and I think it will take a while for fans of the show to learn it as we have purposely made it very tricky.”

Returning to pen the series are some of Britain’s finest comedy writers including Steve Punt, Jon Holmes (Dead Ringers) Giles Pilbrow (Have I Got News For You), Laurence Rickard (Armstrong And Miller) and Ben Ward (M.I. High).

The Horrible historical fun does not end with the series there will be a free Horrible Histories Family Prom on Saturday 30 July which will also be televised on CBBC and Stephen Fry will present a special edited version with highlights from series one and three for BBC One later in the year.

SUE MCDONALD

Top of the shops

Common Sense Furnishings

ACCORDING to a recent Which? survey Richer Sounds, Lush and Lakeland are the UK’s top shops, revealed in this year’s survey, the biggest of its kind.

Email: sue.mcdonald@canarianweekly.com

Just be penny-wise!

TAKE care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves. Isn’t that the saying?

But for every true saying, there seems to be one that contradicts it! There’s one about false economies as well.

Oh, and speculate to accumulate … the list goes on.

This week, I am writing about a client of mine. I will call him Mr. Wallis, who, like many people, had under-estimated the amount of taxes and costs that go along with purchasing a property in Tenerife.

As a result, he decided to try to save some money on the furnishing of his apartment.

The apartment itself was very nice, and had already been refurbished with new floor tiles, and a revamped kitchen and bathroom, so he had already made a wise buy.

He plans to rent the apartment out, and obviously wants it to look good and to be durable enough to withstand a rental programme.

I had done an estimate for him about four months ago when he first thought about buying the property, and had pitched the price at medium range for the budget he had available at that time.

So it wasn’t the cheapest furniture, and not top of the range, but something in between.

Because of his change in circumstances and having less money to spend, he decided to shop around to see if he could save some money, not realising that I also had cheaper alternatives.

He came to me, anyway, to buy the beds I had previously quoted for as they were really

Page 38

good value for money, and for some curtains for the bedroom.

When I went round to measure for the curtains, and give him some advice on final decorative bits to make the apartment look more complete, he had loads of pieces of wood and little bags of screws all over the lounge.

He was building a sideboard he had bought, admittedly at a good price, but didn’t realise that constructing it wasn’t part of the deal.

It looked like a giant 3D jigsaw puzzle and, since I knew he was leaving the next day, I was interested to know how long he thought it would take him to build.

“It will be a long night,” was all he would tell me. I didn’t have the heart to tell him (at least, not at that point) that I sold the same furniture for about 35 euros more than he had paid and, yes, we would have delivered it already put together. He had to buy some tools to do the job as well and so, in the long run, I think it was probably a false economy for him. The next day, he called into the shop on his way to the airport. He said the bed was fabulously comfortable. But maybe his good night’s sleep

was down to sheer exhaustion!

Of course I did eventually tell him that I had the same furniture, and showed him the very brochures from which he had purchased it. I don’t like to see a grown man close to tears, but sometimes these things happen!

He also admitted that he wasn’t totally happy with the sofas he had bought elsewhere, but since I had offered him better-quality ones in the original quote, he believed I didn’t have anything cheaper.

It was also a lesson learned by me, as I should have made it clearer to him that I did have less expensive alternatives.

We added up the number of miles he had walked, the buses he had taken, the necessary tools he had bought, and the week he had spent in Tenerife either in furniture shops, building furniture or waiting in for deliveries.

He ended up spending quite a bit more than if he had bought it all from me! And, as I said, I also learned a lesson: I must let people know that I have ALL ranges of furniture, including budget.

And no, I didn’t help him build his sideboard, but I did lend him a drill. I’m not totally heartless, you know!

Over 11,000 members of the public told the consumer champion what they thought of 100 well known stores. The top three impressed shoppers with great customer service and knowledgeable staff who projected a real buzz about their products.

Also in the top five were the Disney Store (fourth) and John Lewis (fifth). The department store is still a favourite with many, but it has attracted criticism from Which? for changing its ‘Never Knowingly Undersold’ policy so that it now matches competitors’ prices only when extras such as the warranty are exactly the same.

WH Smith and Focus, the DIY shop which recently went into administration, were at the bottom of the table.

While some praised WH Smith’s customer service, others felt it had high prices and cramped stores.

Asda is the top supermarket of ‘the big four’ for non-food products coming in joint 35th, the only supermarket to make the top 50. Tesco is the worst-performing supermarket at joint 82nd.

Martyn Hocking, editor, Which?, says: “The nation’s top shops

know exactly what their customers want and they respond - with quality products, good customer service and store environments that make shopping a pleasure.

Shops at the bottom of the table would be well advised to follow that lead.”

Now just because we live in Tenerife these shops are not necessarily out of reach, due to the wonders of internet shopping.

Top 10 shops 1 Richer Sounds 86% 2 Lush 84% 3 Lakeland 83% 4 Disney Store 80% 5 John Lewis 79% 6 Fenwick 78% 7 Waterstone’s 77% 8 Fat Face 76% 9 Clarks 74% 10 Independents (gardening/DIY) 74% Lakeland is nearly 50 years old. Beginning back in 1963 when Alan Rayner, who visited

local farms selling animal feed, had the idea of providing farmers with polythene bags to pack their meat and poultry in. They set up a mail order business, which is still family run and now extends to include kitchenware, home solutions and gifts, available online.

According to reports John Lewis plan to widen the scope of its services, following an increase of 20 per cent in operating profits in the 12 months to February 2011.

The company plans to increase its expenditure by nearly 25 per cent to £600 million, and hopes that it will be possible for goods ordered on John Lewis’s website to be shipped to 28 countries by September, including Spain.

A spokesman said that the first phase of the project will see deliveries made available to 11 European countries, including Germany, France, Denmark and Ireland. This is expected to be completed in June.

In August and September, delivery will be extended to another 17 countries, including further-afield destinations such as the US and Australia.

“British expatriate communities are one of the key target audiences for John Lewis’s delivery to countries outside of the UK,” said Jonathan Brown, head of online selling at John Lewis.

“One of the main reasons we believe there will be international interest is because we already see a fair amount of traffic, up to five per cent, to our website from the territories, which we are due to start delivering to from June.

We hope the service will be well received and we are looking to expand the countries we deliver to over the coming months.”

Email: David.hudgell@canarianweekly.com

Dear David, I follow your page each week and was v.proud of myself as I planted a big pot of lettuce and radish which were about ready to eat, but in the past few days they’ve been eaten by bright green caterpillars.

What can I do?

Jim, Silencio Jim, I sympathise, but don’t loose heart, plant some more seeds in a pot straight a way, they won’t take long to germinate.

My first crop of lettuce this year, for whatever reason, weather or soil conditions didn’t come on and my second crop have also been eaten by these bright green tiny creatures Caterpillars are usually small, but, for their size seem to eat a lot.

They are quite difficult to get rid of, especially organically.

By hand Handpicking them off your plants is probably the most environmentally friendly way of getting rid of caterpillars but it is not always effective.

Do nothing Another option is to just leave them alone. Let them eat what they want as in outside leaves and you eat what’s left, not a good resolution I know.

Staff knowledge at larger stores has a long way to grow, says Which? report DO YOU know the difference between your annuals and you perennials?

This can work with plants such as cauliflower and broccoli. The bright green pests tend to eat the outer leaves and then leave the rest.

Sticky substance Place sticky bands around the base of plants, or Vaseline this stops them

climbing into the pot in the first place.

More pests Introduce predatory pests into your garden. Pests of caterpillars include, frogs, lizards and wasps.

If you want to spray, there are a couple of non-toxic

pesticides. These may be biodegradable or organic but it’s best to read the label carefully before using them. You can even create your own spray by mixing garlic cloves and chili in water.

Good luck!

According to Which? gardeners might be best sticking to independent UK retailers if they want good customer service, expert advice and quality plants, says consumer champion Which? Gardening.

For the second time running, Coolings, an independent garden centre in Kent, has been chosen as Which? members’ top rated garden centre. It was closely followed

by Gordon Rigg (Yorkshire) and Ayletts Nurseries (Hertfordshire). All three received five out of five stars for the range and quality of their products. Which? members also marked them highly for the helpfulness, knowledge and availability of staff.

Dedicated garden-centre chains the Garden Centre Group / Wyvale and Country Gardens once again received

low scores overall, with Which? members rating them just satisfactory for product quality. Which? members were disappointed by the level of staff knowledge, helpfulness and availability at these chains.

Big chains Focus and Homebase came bottom of the pile for the second time, all scoring badly on the range of products and quality of staff service. Tesco and B&Q didn’t fare much better, although they were given four stars for price.

Ceri Thomas, editor of Which? Gardening, says: “Independent garden centres remain the cream of the crop when it comes to shopping for the garden, winning praise for their great service and quality products. Big chains are still lagging behind, with Focus and Homebase bringing up the rear – they’ve got a lot to learn about customer service.”

RHS Chelsea Flower Show THE RHS Chelsea Flower Show continues until tomorrow Saturday; don’t forget there is a vast amount of coverage on the TV and Internet so you don’t have to miss out, just because you live here in Tenerife.

The gold medal – Best in Show was awarded to The Daily Telegraph, designed by Cleve West who is recognised for his contemporary garden designs incorporating sculpture.

This is his 4th show garden at Chelsea. He has previously won two gold medals (2006 & 2008) and the RHS/BBC People’s Choice Award (also 2008).

According to the RHS website, Cleve West said, “The garden was “partly inspired,

subconsciously, by a trip I made to Libya where I saw the... Roman ruins of Ptolemais”. You wouldn’t find a garden like this in Libya or the plants either, but it’s a personal garden and Cleve believes that “If you don’t create it from the heart, then it’s very difficult to do a good job.”

27 May 2011 - 02 June 2011

Amongst the sculptures the planting includes yew, box self seeding plants, even parsnips!

Another show garden that received a gold medal has a Tenerife connection. Tourism Malaysia Garden was designed

by James Wong and David Cubero.

Designer, James Wong commented:

“This year’s design will be a modernist re-envisioning of the “courtyard pool”, a traditional Asian architectural design feature which uses sheets of water and lush planting to act as a natural airconditioning system. This highly functional system is designed not only for its beauty, but also acts to shade

and cool the interior of a modernist residence in the heart of downtown Kuala Lumpur: the garden will reflect this juxtaposition of beauty and design ingenuity.

The layout aims to capture the sinuous movement and feeling of a brown limestone river bed, carved out by a slowly moving stream, leaving

pebbled deposits along the naturally planted terraces.”

The garden will be accessed through a series of floating entrance frames that lead from a stilted villa to a sunken seating pavilion, surrounded by a pool studded with drifts of fragrant tropical water lilies. Around the garden will be a brown limestone wall densely planted with curtains of trailing jungle vines, providing a dramatic contrast to the foreground of floating terraces of tropical plants, punctuated by streams of falling water.

David Cubero is no stranger to Chelsea and in fact was born in the Canaries where he began his career as an agricultural engineer and discovered his enormous passion for bizarre native flora.

If you cast your minds back the duo designed the Canary Islands Spa Garden back in 2009.

CARL PATTISON from Robot, answers your hair questions

DANNI BYRNE Keeping you fit Email: danni.byrne@canarianweekly.com

Email: carl.pattison@canarianweekly.com

I WAS watching a well-known TV breakfast programme last week and couldn’t believe what was coming out of the mouth of supposed expert.

They were discussing allergies and, after talking about

hay fever and food allergies, they moved onto hair allergies, the solution to the socalled DANGER was: “Use henna - it’s natural”.

Number 1: Henna doesn’t cover grey. It comes in about five shades, none of which are blonde.

Number 2: I’ve been hairdressing for over 30 years and have coloured millions of clients’ hair over time. Yet

only three times have I had problems. They weren’t even serious, and a solution was found each time.

In this day and age, I believe we’ve become a little dramatic over so-called allergies and syndromes. How come they don’t exist here in Tenerife?

Or is it exclusive to the UK that these illnesses and allergies are in people’s minds only?

Ultra-chic, ultra-feminine, so simple to style and versatile as well. What more could you ask for?

The colours are great as they are a blend of ash and beige blonde, lifted around the face to a whiter shade, which is where you should always place lighter colours to bring out facial features and open up eyes.

Changing the subject completely, I’m not overlooking you guys, here’s a short, sharp, on-trend cut that’s super versatile and ideal for the summer months.

Styled with a volume spray, and then a quick touch of dry wax, and you’re set. Works well on straight-to-slightly-wavy hair (unless you’re good with hair straighteners).

Page 40

How many years out the hairdressing trade can someone have to still class people to call themselves “Hairdressers”?

Personally, if I’d had had two or three years away from my profession, I would not call myself a hairdresser, or try to practise

as one.

So why does the lady down the road, who hasn’t worked as a stylist for 1520 years, still wield a pair of scissors, professing to still be in touch with what’s current today?

How to get fit, like a celebrity!

YOU hear celebrities talking about their personal trainers all the time, and it is no secret that they get a lot of help with maintaining their bodies.

But you don’t need to be rich or famous to have your own personal keep-fitter. If you can find a good and affordable trainer, then you should consider a few sessions.

Working out with a personal trainer is a terrific way to get in shape quick. It seems as though celebs hold the secret to keeping in great shape, and they are not sharing it with us.

But that’s not really the case, and nor is surgery like liposuction. But yes, it is partly down to their money.

Celebrities have busy work schedules, like most of us, but to keep looking good they employ a personal trainer who comes to their home and basically keeps them in shape.

So they don’t just gain these amazing bodies from their celebrity status. They actually put a lot of work into it.

A personal trainer will usually provide: · 1-2 hour training sessions, 45 times a week. · Nutrition advice · Motivation!

The third one is very impor-

tant. Celebrities employ top personal trainers to force them to do the workouts.

There is no slacking. They are pushed to their limit every session, and it really shows in the results.

Daniel Craig put a lot of hard work into getting into shape for the James Bond movie Casino Royal. He employed personal trainer Simon Waterson, who made him exercise five times a week.

His workouts were 45minute sessions only, but were of maximum intensity.

The aim was a get look that could “kill”.

His diet and workout sessions were strict, but he was then allowed to eat what he wanted during the weekends.

But he also had to give up smoking.

Angelina Jolie appears in a lot of celebrity magazines. As well as being one of the most famous celebs, she is often classed as one of the most beautiful women in the world.

She is quoted as saying her

key to staying thin is “portion control”. She eats six small meals a day and says she really feels and sees the benefits.

Angelina has always been into exercise but, like a lot of the stars, when playing a specific movie role she has to step it up a bit.

For Tomb Raider, she trained with her personal trainer four times a week and was given a strict diet with no sugar. This included steamed meat, vegetables and soya milk. She used to skip breakfast, but soon saw the benefits of eating it The absolute best thing about personal trainers is that they get results. It’s easy to quit if you’re working out alone. But it’s not so easy to quit when someone else is there pushing you to go on.

It’s also not easy to quit when you’ve paid that person to be there. Personal trainers are motivating in more ways than one. They can also develop weight-loss plans, specifically for the individual.

Instead of doing a general workout or a class workout, your trainer can help you achieve the results you want in a short time.

Personal trainers are also convenient. Many of them will come to your home or office, provided you have the necessary equipment. But unless you hire the trainer through a gym, you can probably workout anywhere.

These personal trainers teach you to exercise properly. You’d be surprised at how many people exercise incorrectly. It is one reason why they have such a hard time losing weight.

Not doing the exercises properly can render them ineffective, and cause bodily harm. A personal trainer will make sure you do all your exercises correctly. He or she will also check your posture and form to make sure they’re correct.

In short, personal trainers will help losing weight much easier. They will use their expertise to help you get in shape, and stay in shape, in a short time.

VAL SAINSBURY Keeping her finger on the pulse Email: val.sainsbury@canarianweekly.com

A fibre-rich diet does kill off deadly disease THERE is more evidence than ever before that fibre-rich foods DO prevent bowel cancer.

Following analysis of the most up-to-date research on the disease, experts say there is now “convincing” evidence that foods containing fibre can offer protection.

This is a much stronger message than the 2007 conclusion that dietary fibre “probably” cuts the risk of the disease.

New evidence includes research that says three servings a day of cereal fibre and wholegrains reduce the risk.

The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), which commissioned experts from Imperial College London to look at the data, said it recommended that people eat a plant-based diet, including fibre-rich foods such as wholegrains, fruits, vegetables and pulses such as beans.

Scientists also analysed new data on the risk of bowel cancer from red and processed meat, which adds weight to

the view that these are a “convincing” cause of the disease.

The WCRF and the American Institute for Cancer Research recommend that people eat no more than 500g (cooked weight) of red meat a week.

This is the equivalent of about five or six medium

animal fats cause the disease is limited. There is also a repeated warning that alcohol is a known cause of bowel cancer in men, and is a probable cause in women.

And there is increased evidence as well that exercise cuts the risk of bowel cancer, but being fat - including

around the abdomen - raises the risk.

The report is part of the WCRF’s Continuous Update Project (CUP) and updates the bowel cancer findings in its 2007 report: Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective.

The sex lessons that kids are just not being taught IT is “unforgivable” that many children in the UK are not taught about HIV and Aids in school, according to the coalition Schools Minister.

Nick Gibb said it was a “huge concern” that research showed that one in four youngsters is not given lessons on the issue.

Yet lessons on the illness are supposed to be a compulsory part of the curriculum

27 May 2011 - 02 June 2011

portions of roast beef, lamb or pork and, they stress, people should avoid processed meat.

Meanwhile, the latest analysis says milk, calcium and garlic probably protect against bowel cancer, but the evidence on whether sugar, cheese or foods containing

for secondary schools.

Gibb, appearing before a House of Lords committee on HIV and Aids in the UK, told them: “It is a concern to the Government that there are 83,000 people with HIV/Aids, of whom 4,200 are young people.

“It’s a huge concern that the sex education forum reported that one in four children is not being taught about HIV/Aids in schools.”

The Minister was asked to address concerns that personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) lessons were in

danger of being sidelined because the subject was not part of the Government’s review of the national curriculum.

A separate internal inquiry into PSHE, which covers topics such as sex and relationships, is being established with the remit set to be published soon.

Gibb insisted that the PSHE review would be given a high priority, and that while Ofsted had found the subject was taught well in many places, more needed to be done to improve it across the

school system. He added: “When we have a survey which shows that one in four children is not being told, or taught, about HIV - a deadly disease that can be simply avoided and simply caught - a lack of knowledge in this area is unforgivable in our school system.”

Secondary schools are required to provide sex education as part of their basic curriculum. At a minimum, this must include education about HIV/Aids and any other sexually-transmitted diseases.

Bianco’s stamp of perfection BIANCO, a name synonymous with highquality Italian cuisine in Las Americas, are proud to unveil a thoughtfully-revised menu at their Los Cristianos restaurant.

Bianco Italian Bistro bar and grill, in the Oasis Pasarella shopping centre (close to the El Mirador complex), have come to realise that different areas require different approaches to dining.

Re-opening Mon 30th May

Page 42

So, as we sit down to eat, we chat with manager Phil, an extremely pleasant and passionate man, about the new direction they are taking.

He tells us that because of where the restaurant is situated, close to many family hotels and holiday complexes, they’ve decided to add many dishes aimed at that market.

And, I must say, they have succeeded in giving all the additions the Bianco stamp.

With this in mind, we decided to choose from the new

starters and main courses, steering away, hesitantly, from the pastas, both classic and original, and the superb meats served from the grill.

First to the table were the Golden Buffalo Mozzarella, a deep-fried, bread-crumbed, rich, creamy cheese, served with two sauces for dipping.

Moments later, the Mortadella and Mozzarella rolls arrived - again, rich cheese wrapped in Italian ham and then grilled to enhance the smoked flavour of the meat.

Both dishes were absolute-

ly stunning in taste and presentation, as is the whole restaurant. With a white and burnt-orange colour scheme, it really does make you feel relaxed and ready for good food.

Speaking of which, the main courses appear. Meat Feast Stromboli. Yeah, I’d never heard of a Stromboli, either, but it turns out that it’s pizza dough, folded over to form a pastry pocket, then filled with a choice of meat or chicken and bacon.

Stromboli is definitely not a character from Pinocchio, and I can honestly say it tasted incredible, with fillet steak, pepperoni, mortadella ham, onions and oregano.

Simply superb, with so many different flavours, and a little bit of spice to tickle the gums.

Now, on to the burger my partner ordered. Not just any burger, mind you, but a Homemade Gourmet Italian Cheese Burger, My partner insisted this really was the best burger he had ever tasted, and he’s tried a lot of them.

It was served in homemade bread, with 100% lean beef, topped with mozzarella, tomato, salad and a sweet basil, which really cut

through. And, like all the Bistro Specials, which was the section of the menu we ordered from, it was accompanied by chipped potatoes and fresh salad. You really need to try this dish when you visit.

I always have to finish with something sweet, and I just managed a lovely cheesecake with ice cream and a coffee. While eating, I managed a scan of the restau-

rant and noticed that the family idea was already catching on - and I can understand completely. The food is amazing, the decor and whole eating experience, as I said earlier, is totally relaxing and the service second to none.

So, to Peter, Flick, Carl, Kirsty, Estelle and manager Phil, thanks for a fabulous evening - and we will definitely see you soon!

Pablo’s perfect pastas and prawns HEAD to Los Abrigos from Las Chafiras, turn right at the roundabout and just on the left, about 20 metres down, is one of the best restaurants I have visited.

Pablo y su cocina has got everything just right and, from the moment you walk in, you feel as though you are going to be treated to something special.

It has a deli feel, which is not surprising because Pablo, the owner and chef, has Italian heritage, and it complements the outstanding service given

by Pablo and Estelle, both English speakers..

Sitting in this cool, airy eatery is very relaxing and, as a tomato, garlic and herb salsa with toasted bread (it’s like build your own Bruschetta) arrives, we start to scan the extensive menu for our meal.

But then the scanning stops because the salsa is superb and before we know it, we have eaten two lots of it with extra bread.

And we are told that even if you just want to sit and enjoy a chilled drink, this will be

27 May 2011 - 02 June 2011

offered free of charge. It’s a great deal, considering the flavours and glaringly-obvious freshness of what you could call an entrée to an entrée!

We were both having problems choosing from the huge array of dishes: starters, from onion soup to eggplant; main courses, from steaks to chicken and many different types of fish, all with the option of a freshly-prepared sauce accompaniment.

There’s also fabulouslycooked, authentic Italian pizza (I saw one go past and hoped

there would be a piece left that I could steal, but it wasn’t to be).

But we were saved the trouble by Pablo, who recommended that we try a mix of different pastas and also prawns in garlic and herbs, so we trusted his judgement and went with that.

I must say that I have never met a man more proud of the food he produces than Pablo.

All of the recipes are a mixture of ideas from his parents, taken and enhanced in some way by him (he wouldn’t give

us the secret of what he does to the tomatoes), and every sauce is a testament to this.

The prawns appear and straight away you notice that presentation is a big part of the experience, as well as being huge, juicy and bathing in butter and garlic. Then there was the taste: succulent, meaty, perfect - and I’m not a fishy person.

Now, on to the pasta and there are four styles, to be exact. First, Beef Ravioli, filled to bursting with tender meat in a thick, rich, tomato-based neapolitan sauce, then Macaroni Carbonara, tubes of pasta, covered in a creamy, cheesy sauce, then Tortellini in Blue Cheese and, finally, Tagliatelle in Amatriciana which was packed, as all of the dishes were, with many beautiful ingredients.

All delicious, all different in texture and flavour and all

worthy of this man’s pride in his food and his establishment.

Pablo also pointed out that although what we eat wasn’t listed on the menu, he would be prepared to serve it if asked - and I would highly recommend it.

So to dessert, but first another glass of house vino, a full-bodied red from Vilaflor, perfect for my partner for the meal we were having, and a coffee for me to accompany the home-made Castillo, a rich flan with caramel and cream which is a favourite of mine. And this was the best I have had by far.

To recap, you have the directions and you know the quality of food and service, so make a booking or just call in. You won’t be disappointed.

And a big thanks to Pablo and Estelle. It was a pleasure, and see you soon.

Dive headlong into an El Hierro wonderland IMAGINE a paradise for underwater diving. And imagine, also, a wonder world offering unforgettable memories of the best holiday ever!

Yes, this is El Hierro, smallest of the Canary Islands, which is bathed in transparent waters. It is where divers the world over visit every year to photograph one of the best ocean depths of the planet.

There is also an abundance of nature here, in this small corner of the Atlantic, where the aim is to relax, chill out and enjoy the island’s great sights.

It is not always necessary to fly to far-flung places to enjoy some of the world’s greatest views, because the Canaries are just four hours or so from the UK. And on El Hierro, the most southerly of the Canary Islands, you will be able to say you have visited one of the Biosphere Reserves of Europe, as declared by UNESCO. You will certainly take away with you the incredible visions of volcanoes and lava fields, fertile valleys, and dramatic cliffs up to 1,000m high.

The island also contains dense forests of vegetation species, which have survived

Page 44

since prehistoric times; trees that are 1,000 years old, twisted by the wind, and even reptiles that were thought to

be extinct. And there are plenty of trails to go hiking in the beautiful countryside.

It begs the question of how

so much diversity is possible in such a small territory, which has a population of over 10,000, but you’ll soon

realise that everything is authentic there.

Forget your stress and turn your back on routine on this privileged island, where aboriginal legends tell of sacred trees. Remember, also, this is the place that was once considered the limit of the known world in classical times.

Some 60% of the island is classed as a protected area and, since 1997, El Hierro has undertaken an ambitious project, which means that it is also the future.

Within a few years, it will be self-sufficient in renewable energies. In fact, it will be the first island in the world to be fully sustainable.

The capital of the island is Valverde, a quiet town surrounded by beautiful rural spaces. It consists of a network of steep, narrow streets, whitewashed houses and spacious gardens.

Valverde’s church of Santa María de la Concepción and the Town Hall are typical examples of traditional Canarian architecture.

There is plenty to suit the tastes of every visitor, includ-

ing four museums, two yachting marinas, no fewer than seven protected nature reserves, and even a Centre for the Protection of the Giant Lizard.

Foodwise, you will almost certainly taste and enjoy a seemingly never-ending menu of local soup, fresh fish, rice with limpets, sundried shark strips cooked in sauce, local bean stew with pork, local salad with peaches, cheeses and red and green spicy sauces, served with boiled local potatoes.

El Hierro has its own airport and port and, being an archipelago, means the islands are connected at various points by fast ferries.

It also houses one of the smallest hotels in the world.

The Hotel Punta Grande, in the municipality of Frontera, spans only 600sqms and has just four double bedrooms.

Whatever your holiday tastes, El Hierro will always have something to satisfy you, be it sightseeing, diving, hiking or simply taking it easy and watching the world drift by!

Braking news Skoda’s bright green from worried model leaves hybrids Citroen firm standing in the shade!

WHO needs hybrids, when the new, improved Fabia Greenline can offer more than 100mph with careful driving?

FRENCH car-maker Citroen have recalled more than 20,000 C3 Picasso models because of an astonishing fault.

Curiously, the car’s brakes can be applied from the passenger foot-well through a manufacturing-process fault, during the machine’s conversion from left-hand to righthand-drive for UK models.

Part of the braking mechanism runs below the passenger foot-well. It is covered by a thin piece of felt, which can be pressed easily by anyone in the front passenger seat and activates the brakes.

Citroen will fit all the affected cars with a brake isolator, though they believe there is only a remote possibility of

the problem occurring. It is offering the repair to C3 Picasso owners free of charge.

The issue was brought to light when a cleaning company in Kent, who have three C3 Picassos on their fleet, contacted the BBC’s Watchdog consumer programme.

The resultant episode was shown last week, but Citroen said they were unaware of the problem until then.

Engineer Mark Brown, who examined the cars, said: “It’s potentially very dangerous because the passenger wouldn’t know he was the one activating the brake.

“The driver obviously wouldn’t know what’s going on, and the people behind wouldn’t know what was going on, either.”

Flash sign is no joking matter HUNDREDS of drivers in West Yorkshire have been issued with speeding tickets after jokers changed a 30mph sign to 40.

Residents in Bradford said the speed camera located on the road was “flashing like a disco strobe light” as motorists were repeatedly nabbed.

The council has now removed the sign, which was believed to have been in place for several days, and will reconsider any speeding

In fact, Austrian economydriving specialist Gerhard Plattner has achieved a remarkable 1,246 miles on a single 45-litre tank of diesel at an average of 127.9mpg.

Skoda claim the combined economy of the Greenline II eco-hatch is 83.1mpg, which sounds pretty healthy anyway. But Plattner topped it with a combination of fuelsaving driving techniques on the A7, which is Germany’s longest motorway.

The Austrian said: “The Škoda GreenLine models are perfect for fuel-efficient driving. In light of the current fuel prices, it is obviously important for the wallet, but also for lowering environmental pollution.

“With a fuel consumption well below the specified norm, I want to show that besides the car manufacturers, every driver can contribute to further reduce this environmental pollution.”

He added: “You can start the process with small details, such as making sure you have the proper tyre

pressure.”The level of comfort in the Skoda Fabia depends entirely on engine choice. The three-cylinder petrol engines are a bit vocal, although they’re nowhere near as noisy as the economy-focused 1.2 TDI diesel in the GreenLine model.

Overall, though, it’s a comfy machine, with road and wind noise kept in check.

The firm seats provide good support and comfort, while it’s easy to alter the driving position, thanks to reach and rake adjustment on the steering wheel.

Skoda scores exceptionally well in ownership surveys consistently, thanks to excellent reliability and dealer service. True, the interior won’t win any awards for design flair, but it all works very well and feels durable.

It earns particularly high

ratings regarding reliability, running costs and ease of driving.

Front and side airbags come as standard on all versions, but you’ll have to pay more for electronic stability control in all but a handful of models.

It looks relatively compact outside, but the Fabia packs a lot of space into its dimensions. Four adults can sit in comfort, with a fifth able to perch in the middle rear seat at a pinch.

Head and legroom is decent, while the boot is deep, well-shaped and accessed easily by the large hatch. A double-decked glovebox gives plenty of oddment storage, while a handy shopping holder can be added to the boot to secure small items.

Skoda have always been known for providing big-

value propositions, and the Fabia demonstrates this, starting at a little over £9,000 and rising to around £15,700 for the range-topping vRS. From behind the wheel, the GreenLine II, which comes in at just under 14 grand, is as good as any other Fabia, with a grown-up feel in and out of town. The ride is comfortable and, overall, the Skoda is safe and composed.

From the outside, though, there are few hints about the Skoda’s eco credentials.

It is the most fuel-efficient car ever produced by the firm, yet aside from a badge on the tailgate, there is nothing to identify the make.

The makers have fitted special panels underneath to reduce drag, while the front bumper is raised by 35mm.

The light-grey trim does nothing for the car, but aircon is standard and there is ample passenger and luggage space.

Anyway, the lack of poshness is more than made up by being able to drive around all day for practically nothing.

That’s, of course, if you’re happy to take all day to get to where you are going - in order to keep the fuel consumption down to Austrian proportions!

tickets which were issued.

Local man Dave Clarke said: “People were coming at 30mph, but this sign brought them back up to 40mph, so drivers were picking their speed up and setting the flash off. A lot of motorists have obviously been caught by it.”

Darren Badrock, of Bradford Council, said: “Whoever put it up may think it was just a practical joke, but it is actually irresponsible.

“We lowered the limit to 30mph because there had been 157 casualties on that road over three years.”

Sport Talk Email: roscoe@canarianweekly.com

The end of an era Albacete 1 CD Tenerife 2 THIS was Tenerife’s fourth win in their last five games, and another example of what could have been for fans.

Make no mistake, the latest victims were a poor, demoralised team and victory over Albacete was not worth a row of beans.

But it’s a small step in the right direction, and success breeds success. Coach David Amaral will be delighted with the way things are going, and fans have been shown a glimpse into the future.

More youngsters were blooded and Ayose and Moreno took their form in the reserves in their stride as they made their senior debuts.

Julio Alvarez struck the winner after Nino’s penalty opener. It means that Tenerife should finish third from bottom and, as I wrote last week, this could see a reprieve. But this week’s story is all about one man.

Ponferradina visit Santa Cruz tomorrow (Saturday) for the most ridiculouslyscheduled match of the season. This is the ONLY senior match being played on Saturday.

The club say this is because the league ordered it, but that makes no sense. Why, oh why, do we have Tenerife kicking off just before the eagerly-anticipated Champions League final?

This will hit the attendance figures massively, and you don’t need to be Einstein to work out that the club officials are not keen on a mass demonstration at the end of the match.

But what really sticks in the craw is the way they have treated a genuine Tenerife legend. This will be Nino’s final match at the Heliodoro, and he deserves a massive Cristo-style send off. But because of the stupidity of the “suits”, he will not get one.

For Tenerife fans, Nino is God. He arrived in the sum-

Page 46

mer of 2007 with a point to prove. Prolific for his boyhood club Elche, he struggled after a big-money move to Levante in La Liga.

He scored just once and was damaged goods. Too small. Too slow. Too lightweight. He got hammered by the press. Even Elche didn't want him back.

Tenerife were going through a rotten patch. Duff striker after donkey turned up in Santa Cruz. Maybe it was the distance from the mainland, or was it the sunshine? But right from day one, Nino found his feet in Santa Cruz.

He scored in the first half of his home debut against Cadiz on a scorching-hot Sunday afternoon. Wearing the No 16 jersey, he stole a yard on the centre-back, controlled a ball over the top and, from just inside the box, smashed it left-footed past the goalie.

Sound familiar?

He was an instant hero.

Tenerife slowly adapted their shape to suit a man who couldn’t stop scoring goals. Or running. I swear he thinks he is the road-runner. I have never seen a guy chase so many lost causes.

His work effort has always been first-class and, even during the last few sticky seasons, he has always put in a shift.

At the end of the first season, he had bagged 18 goals and was the league’s second-top scorer.

The following year when paired with Alejandro Alfaro he would go one better, bagging 29 goals and helping Tenerife to promotion.

The first season back in La Liga was always going to be tough, but this time Nino took the step-up in his stride.

Goals were harder to come by, but he still finished with a respectable 14 goals, including a memorable hat trick in a 3-2 win over Getafe in

front of a packed Heliodoro.

Tenerife’s relegation led to intense speculation about Nino’s future, and there were a plethora of clubs jostling for his signature. But Nino brushed it all aside.

Happy and settled on the Island, he penned a new four-year contract - the largest in the club’s history.

“I am very happy in Tenerife” he said at the time.

“From the very first time I set my foot here, I have felt welcomed and at home. The fans have been amazing and I am eternally grateful for their support.”

This campaign has been one of frustration for Nino and the whole team. At times, he has cut a forelorn figure. Living off scraps, he lost confidence and then, around the turn of the year, he looked to be showing all of his 30 years.

But class is permanent and when the transfer window closed, everything seemed

to change. He was a yard quicker and back chasing down dead-ends.

Matches were being lost and relegation reared its ugly head, yet Nino never gave in.

The stats don't lie. Eight goals in the last two months and 16 in a season is another excellent return for him.

Sporting Gijon have been strongly linked with a move for Nino, and there is plenty in the story. He is close friends with former Tenerife captain Ayose, and Nino’s agent has held talks with the club. Strangely, out of favour midfielder Ricardo could also be on his way to Gijon.

But, as you have read in Canarian Weekly before, his preferred destination is Elche. His old club have an excellent chance of going into La Liga via the play-offs, and Nino would be their first signing.

“I like the idea of going to Sporting,” he said this week.

“I have my great friend there Ayose, and he has told me wonderful things. But nothing is certain. Let’s see what happens elsewhere.”

The last line is very leading, of course. Is he hinting at Elche? Or maybe he is hoping that Tenerife get some sort of reprieve? Will he leave onloan, or on a permanent transfer?

Nino is not the only player saying goodbye, but few fans will have any feelings for most of them. Captain Marc Betran has already signed for Osasuna after turning down Real Betis and, after once being a hero, he will not be missed.

It will be interesting to see what sort of reaction Pablo Sicilia gets. The well-liked local lad is joining fierce rivals Las Palmas, and even though he is a Gran Canarian-born player, it could go either way.

For the record this column wishes him luck.

The result puts the Silencio team at the summit of Division 2 on “goal difference” from Cafe Rood B, who also won 6-2 at Barracuda Hunters.

Tenerife Sun and Sundowners also have two wins under their belts after beating La Cana and Knights respectively.

Summerlands’ Alan hit a maximum during a 5-3 success at Trap Door, while Nathan checked out on 116

The 8 Ball Massive have been in a relegation dogfight for most of the season, but they look like avoiding the drop after another fine win last Tuesday.

They opened up a four-point gap on Men of Atlantis with a tight 6-4 win over Summerland Allstars. Yet 8 Ball were 3-1 down early on and must have been fearing the worst.

But they levelled up, thanks to two doubles successes, and then they started to find form.

Vinny and Kevin nicked vital wins, and Chris won the battle of the skippers in the deciding rubber to take the spoils.

Dreamers have hit the wall recently, and they may still need a point or two from their last two matches to be safe after losing 8-2 at Tenerife Hammers A.

for the Naturals in their 6-2 win against Valle Vikings 2.

The Bad Girls/Boys and Phoenix Flames both secured their first point of the season as they drew with the Playgirls and Palms respectively.

The top of Division 1 looks scarily familiar already. Nauta A lads Mitch and London both scored 180s to take top spot from the inactive Barracudarts Boys.

Hot on their heels are Bar 180A, who had Mick checking out on 116 as they thumped Target Titans 7-1.

scoreline at Toscales Ensecan.

Gaffers Bar, still looking to find their feet in Division 1, lost again, this time at the also-promoted Tavern. And Target Army got off the mark with a 5-3 victory over Bar 180B.

By Geoff Huxtable

Atlantis Sharks had the measure of Rat Pack, winning 7-3, as did Bar 180 B over Hoops.

Terrace Bar A warmed up for their match with leaders Palms A by beating Target Bar, while Toscales and Bar 180 A drew.

There is still all to play for in Division Two, and the key issues will go down to the wire.

Legends B’s battling draw at Gaffers denied the hosts the title.

It means Legends still need two points to guarantee promotion, and they will hope to get that against Barracuda Hunters this week.

The race for third is still watertight. Bar Tasca’s fine

Horoscopes of the week Gemini

(May 22nd-June 21st) The demands of partners or family on you seem unreasonable, but you’ll need to try to adapt because some points they’re making are actually valid. Don’t allow frustrations to lead you into saying something you’ll regret, or doing something on impulse. Think before you speak. This will pass.

CANCER (June 22ndJuly 23rd) Play it cool over money and career options this week because, if you go out on a limb or act rashly, you may lose out. See things from all angles before making decisions.

Keep a low profile if possible, and over the weekend, you may have good cause to crack open the champagne.

LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) Your ambitions are all fired up and you want to push forward, but you’re not quite sure what steps to take for the best. Stop, take a deep breath and focus. Consider all options carefully before making final decisions, and you’ll make the right one.

A free and easy week is on the way, especially at home.

VIRGO (August 24thSeptember 23rd) Be practical over creative concepts you want to get off the ground, as only you can, and allow your originality to shine through. You may need to compromise over money matters, so don’t ruffle any feathers or it could come back and bite you. Stay calm. Be patient. Your time will come.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) Your passionate, provocative charm stands you in good

Page 48

stead to get your own way, at work, in the home, or even over love scenarios.

But don’t think you’re home and dry just yet. If others think you’re too cocky, they’ll shoot you down in flames, so be careful. Watch your attitude.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) Having a tough time in the love zone?

Maybe being more sensitive to the needs of partners would win you some much-needed kudos. Don’t allow your frustrations to lead to temper tantrums, or you may find yourself biting off more than you can chew. There is a compromise, so fin it!

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rdDecember 21st) Friction in the friendship zone cannot be ignored, or it will get blown out of proportion. Bite the bullet and ask someone what you’ve done as you need to restore the balance. Work or home demands are heavy, and you need all the support you can muster from relationships and friendships.

C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) Your creativity produces some impressive work in the career zone, and those in authority will be taking note. This could be just what you need to push you up the ladder at work. Fingers

crossed. Be diplomatic when dealing with co-workers, though. Don’t step on their toes.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) If there’s not much going on in the domestic zone, it’ll be up to you to inject some enthusiasm. Avoid petty squabbles by being open to suggestion and meeting others halfway. Old obstacles may be hard to budge, but with perseverance and gentle convincing, you’ll get there eventually.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) You need more time if you’re to tackle this ever-growing mound of problems in your life, so start by sorting out the easy issues. As you gather speed, the bigger ones won’t seem so insurmountable. It’s all in the planning and execution, so stop panicking. Be methodical from the word go.

ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) Now that you’re on the right track over work and money, you need to turn your attention to your emotional life. Put some fire and passion back in your love life by being sexy, sassy and sensual. There may be minor setbacks in midweek, but stay strong and you’ll take things to new heights.

TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) It’s a week where you’ll sense others are testing you, or pushing your buttons, by causing limitations or restrictions just for the sheer hell of it. That’s how it feels, anyway, but don’t rise to the bait. Rely on levelheaded friends to keep you focused on the long term, and don’t say anything you’ll regret.
