Millions will light up the land to celebrate The Queen’s Jubilee

A Diamond 60 years! NO stone, precious or otherwise, will be left unturned as millions of people in counties throughout the United Kingdom battle to outdo each other with their Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations during the extended Royal Weekend. It begins tomorrow (Saturday) and runs until Tuesday, and the entire country will be transformed as Her Majesty’s subjects let their hair down with a riot of colour and fancy dress for this unique occasion. While London will no doubt produce the finest, most eye-catching pageant of all throughout the Jubilee Bank Holiday, with a spectacular flotilla on the River Thames and nearly 2,000 street parties, Hertfordshire tops the county list with 451 road closures, ahead of 419 in Surrey for the great outdoor event. Not to be outdone, the only way is Essex when it comes to commemorative beacons, which are being lit the length and breadth of their county, bigger and brighter than any other area, say officials! And, as well as the formallyorganised festivities, there will be more than 200 Essex street parties, numerous firework displays, traditional fairs, concerts and knees-ups galore. Jubilee fever will also grip towns and villages as West Dorset turns red, white and blue. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh lookalikes will officially open the Jubilee Games at Lyme Regis, and Radio 2 Dj Chris Evans is also backing the royal carry-on during his breakfast show. The wacky Olympics-

style extravaganza will give competitors a chance to win their own gold

medal in a host of events, including an eight-legged race, a mermaid race and a

nettle-eating sprint contest. Kent is also pulling out all the stops at Leeds Castle

near Maidstone. The former royal palace is hosting two days of events that include

a nostalgic 1950s-themed fayre and a big screen, beaming live coverage of the London celebrations. Elsewhere in the county, its royal heritage is being upheld with a Tudor weekend and open-air theatre at Hever Castle, Edenbridge, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, and there’s a regal river festival at Chatham waterfront. At Abingdon, Oxfordshire’s second-largest town, officials are organising a lengthy street party with more than 1,500 people, and a bun-throwing event, unique to the region. Councillors and Freemen go to the top of the 17thcentury County Hall (now a museum) and throw buns to the townspeople in the Market Place. This has been going on for more than 300 years to celebrate royal and other important occasions. This year there will be 6,000 buns - 100 for each year of the Queen’s reign. And so it goes on, through county after county. In all, councils across England and Wales have received almost 9,500 applications to close roads for street parties, which is nearly double the number for Prince William’s wedding last year. Several local authorities have waived road-closure fees, offered cash grants and even given out party packs in some places to help achieve the best possible celebrations. Tens of thousands of events will also take place in parks, pubs, village greens, schools, care homes, cul-de-sacs, gardens and town squares, with the Home Counties appearing to be the most patriotic. London’s festivities kick off tomorrow with the Derby at Epsom, and The Queen, who has a passion for horses and her own racing stable, will be there. On Sunday comes the Big Continued on page 3.

Continued from front page. Jubilee Lunch, a nationwide get-together for neighbours. It started off three years ago as a great excuse to get to know people, try new things and have a party and is now an established annual event throughout the UK. Also on Sunday, The Queen, in the Royal Barge, will lead up to 1,000 boats in the largest flotilla ever seen on the River Thames. The pageant starts at 2pm, up-river from Battersea Bridge. A number of viewing areas along the route will be equipped with big screens. The following day sees the celebrity-packed Royal Concert at Buckingham Palace, in front of a 10,000-strong audience, which will be televised live by BBC 1 from 7.30pm. Take That’s Gary Barlow has helped organise the event, to be headlined by The Queen’s musical Knights of the realm, Sir Tom Jones, Sir Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Cliff Richard. There’s also a whole host of back-up artistes, including Jesse J, JLS, Madness and Annie Lennox, together with the casts of leading West End musicals.

01 June - 07 June 2012

A star-struck Gary Barlow says: “It’s an amazing line-up of world-class artists at one of the biggest and most exciting live music shows in recent years.” Then, from 10pm, thousands of beacons will be lit in a spontaneous reaction all over the country, culminating in Her Majesty lighting the National Beacon 30 minutes later. Finally, to round off the incredible, four-day pageant, The Queen and other members of the Royal Family will attend a national service of thanksgiving on Tuesday at St. Paul’s Cathedral, where a Diamond Choir of children from around the UK will sing a specially-composed song. Later in the day, the Royal Family will travel from Westminster Hall to Buckingham Palace by carriage, along a processional route. They will then appear on the balcony to greet the crowds and acknowledge an RAF fly-past. Meanwhile, celebrations in Tenerife appear to be muted, with few major events scheduled. The British Consulate will attend various events, including Wingate School’s

Jubilee Celebration this afternoon (Friday) from 2.30pm, and tonight’s concert by Tenerife Symphony Orchestra at the Adan Martin Auditoria in Santa Cruz, featuring the Coronation March 1953. Leonardos Bar, in Las Americas, are staging their own Jubilee bash on Sunday from 2-6pm, with a Big Pub Lunch barbecue, Happy Hour drink prices, plus TV screens with a full coverage of the events in London. Kids World and the Thomas Cook Entertainment Team will add to the attractions throughout the afternoon, and there will also be a fancy dress competition with a prize for the best Jubilee outfit. The Terrace Bar, on Amarilla Golf, are also putting on the Royal style on Sunday afternoon with two live bands - Tenerife Rock and Blues and Freefall - three live acts plus an all-British Fayre available from the large barbecue. They also have a touch of Wimbledon Tennis fortnight via the Pimms, Strawberries and Champers at the bar, and the usual children’s entertainment will also be provided throughout

the day. Then, on Monday evening, the Terrace Bar will show the televised Jubilee Concert in 3D with cinema surround sound, all washed down with cut-price beer and wine, a barbecue on the terrace and a bouncy castle for the kids. The entire Diamond Jubilee pageantry is a once-in-alifetime experience for all, so sit back and enjoy, wherever you are! Queen Elizabeth II milestones · She was born on 26th April 1926 · The Queen came to the throne on 6th February 1952 upon the death of her father, King George V1 · Her coronation took place on 2nd June 1953 · She celebrated her Silver Jubilee (25 years) in 1977 and her Golden Jubilee (50 years) in 2002 · In that time, she has visited more than 200 countries· · She is the second-longest reigning monarch after Queen Victoria, who ruled for 63 years, seven months, and died in 1901. · Her husband, Prince Philip, has been at her side since their marriage in 1947, which produced four children.

For me it’s one of the best stories of the week, and a little light relief from everything red, white and blue. The Google Street Car is in Tenerife; “so what?” I hear you say. Well the Google car has arrived here in the Canaries, on Tenerife and it has begun to take new images of the streets to use in its Google Earth, Maps and Street View services. Tenerife had been ‘Google mapped’ before, but a lot changes here on this holiday island in the Atlantic Ocean, so it means that potential visitors can view more upto-date information on their accommodation, places of interest etc, etc. You get the picture (if you’ll excuse the pun). Hopefully it will generate more interest in Tenerife and boost the tourism figures. The cars are covered with stickers proclaiming, ‘Google Maps’, and are equipped with a large camera on the roof they will spend several days circulating around the entire Island, capturing high resolution images for its websites. As always, registration numbers on cars and faces of passers-by accidentally caught on camera will be obscured when the images are up-loaded to the site. Interestingly, their arrival in Tenerife coincides with

a UK story accusing the privacy watchdog of being ‘caught napping’ over claims that Google deliberately harvested information from home computers. The internet giant is accused of having downloaded information from wi-fi networks using its Street View cars. The allegation dates back a number of years, the cars were meant to be taking photographs for its Street View programme, which allows users to see images of roads as if they were there. It emerged that the Information Commissioner had designated its audits into Google’s privacy policy as ‘low priority’ simply because the firm’s attitude was co-operative. For Google people’s privacy is paramount. Google Street View is a technology featured in Google Maps and Google Earth that provides panoramic views from positions along many streets in the world. It was launched only 5 years ago on May 25, 2007. If you cast your minds back about two years, you’ll remember Tenerife made the news with the Google Car capturing a man urinating near some rubbish at Playa de las Teresitas, Santa Cruz. I wonder what they’ll ‘picture’ this time? Until next week…

NEWS IN BRIEF Teide tremor no great shakes A SLIGHT tremor was registered on Teide at 6.32am on Wednesday. But experts said that at just 1.6 on the Richter scale, it was not sufficient to have been felt by the population. Of more significance detail, they said, was that the epicentre was just four kilometres below the surface on the northeast slope of Montaña Rajada, in Las Cañadas.

Small companies enlist 26,000 THE Employment Ministry says more than 26,000 smallbusiness contracts have been signed since the recent labour law reforms were introduced. More than half of them were between young people and businesses with fewer than 50 employees. Under the contract, a worker has a one-year test period, during which time there is no provision for payment if he/she is fired.

HE has only been Prime Minister for a few weeks but Mariano Rajoy is facing his first major crisis and there are no signs that he is getting to grips with the problem. This week brought another set of horrendous financial results, a sharp rise in the bond rate and catastrophic high street figures. This triple whammy was compounded by more banking woes leading to the European markets to dive at the start of the week. Spain’s cost of borrowing soared this week as investors grew fresh concerns over its growing deficit. Under EU law, Spain needs to reduce its fiscal deficit from 8.9% of GDP to 3% by the end of 2013. This is not going to happen but the European Commission did give Spain some breathing space saying they could be given extra time to meet an agreed EU deficit target. The EU’s economic affairs commissioner, Olli Rehn,

said: “We are ready to consider proposing an extension of the deadline to correct the excessive deficit by one year to 2014, as long as Spain reined in deficits in self-governing regions and presented a solid two-year budget.” Few economists will hold their breath on that happening. Meanwhile retail sales in Spain fell by a record 9.8% in April according to the latest official figures. This is the biggest ever single monthly decrease The National Statistics Institute’s findings showed a drop for the 22nd month in a row. And this figure was the greatest fall since records began in 2003. On Monday Spanish 10year bond yields rose to 6.53%, their highest since November 2011. That is dangerously close to the 7% danger zone which is the financial watermark which led to Greece, Ireland and Portugal to seek a bailout. Prime Minister Rajoy says Spain doesn’t need to get out the begging bowl, but many experts feel it is only a matter of time. Spain has Europe’s fifth

largest economy but the rise in bond rates was not the biggest blow this week as there were fresh concerns about the Spanish banking sector. Bankia, one of Spain’s biggest, said it needed 19bn euros of state aid. This was brokered last week and was used to prop itself up against bad loans. This sent the part nationalised bank’s shares crashing by 13%. Rajoy said he had no choice but to bail out Bankia, but he did instruct independent auditors to inspect their books. This just scared the markets even more, leading to another slide in the share price. Elsewhere Banco Popular confirmed it was in advanced negotiations to sell a majority stake in its internet banking business. Popular is desperate to raise working capital and avoid a Government handout which would slash its stock market value. The problems in the Spanish sector are scarily similar to the one’s Britain experienced four years ago. Many British banks of course are now at least part owned by Spanish companies.

These problems coupled with European market jitters over the outcome of the forthcoming elections in Greece, sent stocks south. The Greek elections are being seen as effectively a referendum on the country’s membership of the euro. Forecasters are predicting they will leave the Euro zone and return to the Drachma. Cameron Peacock, analyst at IG Markets, said:“The main game at the moment is the macro European outlook namely Greek elections and Spanish banks.” On Wednesday Spain’s Economy Minister, Luis de Guindos, travelled to Berlin to see his German counterpart, Wolfgang Schaeuble. It’s understood they were discussing the ramifications of a bailout and a Greek pullout. And as Spain continues to pick world leaders brains, the Deputy Prime Minister, Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, traveled to Washington. She met the Director of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde and the United States Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Geithner.

A Hole lot of rocking and shock going on! Buckingham Palace in front of a 10,000 audience, even borrowed Fergal’s guitar and sang his first hit, Move It. “People were climbing over one another to see him,” said one bemused spectator. “No one expected to see the real Cliff and it really was the most amazing sight. It would cost a fortune to get him over here for an official show.” Fergal, almost gobsmacked for the first time in his life, said: “It was unreal - like a dream. It’s a night I’ll never forget.” And one his customers will never forget, either.

IT was the gig to end all gigs in Tenerife, and those who were there will never forget it! Ireland’s favourite crooner, Daniel O’Donnell, was making a guest appearance at the Hole in the Wall bar last Thursday, treating the crowd to one of his big hits, Singing the Blues. That was no surprise because he has a holiday home over here and is big pals with fellow-Irishman Fergal Flaherty, who presides nightly at the Hole in the Wall, in Parque de la Paz Also, Daniel was in Tenerife to play in Oasis Fm’s Sky Soccer Saturday golf tournament the previous day at Amarilla Golf and was chilling out.

Protests as Armas halts their El Hierro crossing

FERRY company Naviera Armas has suspended its service from Los Cristianos to El Hierro indefinitely because the route is losing money. The decision sparked protests in both places on Tuesday because the ship was unable to load all the cargo sitting at the dockside. That’s because El Hierro Cabildo President Alpidio Armas, along with 15 local businessmen and politicians, stayed on board in protest to prevent the ship sailing from Los Cristianos to El Hierro via La Gomera. They were subsequently reported as “stowaways” by the ship’s captain to the Guardia Civil. The Canary Islands Government negotiated with Fred.Olsen Ferries to take the goods - primarily building materials - over to El Hierro on Wednesday. The same day Rivero,

said in La Palma, that the government will ensure maritime and air connections between the Islands and will, consequently, take all the necessary decisions to defend the general interest of the Canary Islands in those cases where it would limit mobility. Rivero, referred to reducing the frequency of maritime links with the island of El Hierro and the protest led by different political leaders, pointed out that the Canarian Executive defends the restoration of six weekly frequencies between the island of Tenerife and El Hierro and that work will be intensified so that the service can be restored as soon as possible. Rivero stressed that the public interest must always prevail over the particular interest of any private company.

NEWS IN BRIEF Canarians’ Yes to wage cut WORKERS and members of the Canarian Government have finally reached an agreement to have their wages lowered. They have agreed to a 5% reduction, as per the measure introduced by the Archipelago’s Government, which reduced its employees’ pay by the same amount annually. However, the new agreement will apply to the last six months of the year only.

Mobiles so necessary to us A STUDY by insurance multinational CPP on the addiction and dependence on mobiles shows that 1% of people in Spain would rather their partner be unfaithful than lose their phone! And such is their dependence on mobiles that one-third would settle for giving up a day’s holiday, missing a flight or mislaying a gift from someone special.

Eye-opener for shop-keepers IT has just got a lot easier and cheaper for people to open a shop. Government Vice-President Santamaria says a retail outlet with 300sqm or less will now be able to operate simply by applying for an opening licence, following the approval of a new bill last Friday. It applies to shops classed as small retailers, offering clothing, food, furniture etc, as well as personal services such as hairdressing salons.

Still keen on holidays

THE Spanish travel agencies federation says people in Spain are still taking their annual holidays, whether at home or abroad, despite the recession. A federation representative said last year’s figures were 4% higher than the year before. As many as 90% travellers stayed in Spain, with the Canaries a favourite choice with visitors from the mainland.

Chain reaction against oil MORE than 1,000 people gathered at El Reducto beach in Arrecifre, Las Palmas, last Saturday to form a human chain in a protest against the extraction of petroleum off the Canaries, and prospecting in deep waters. Both are currently allowed to go to a depth of 3,500 kilometres. Lanzarote Cabildo will “continue to fight on social, judicial and institutional fronts”, to stop the practice.

Arona’s 70,000-euro bill A JUDGE in Santa Cruz has finally settled the contentious case regarding non-payment by Arona for services back in 2005 and 2007, and has ordered the Town Council to pay up. It owes the money to the company which handled the sets for the popular Aguaviva festival. A sum of 49,045 euros was owed but, with interest, the total has soared to around 70,000 euros.

Army eat up and pay up SPANISH Army authorities plan to charge soldiers half the price of their food - about 2.80 euros a day - as their latest cost-cutting measure. The Army says it must find ways to cut costs without compromising operational missions or levels of education, training and preparation. It will, say officials, save around 15 million euros annually. The force’s budget has been cut by 34% over the past four years.

Rivero’s plea for funding system PAULINO RIVERO, President of the Canarian Government, spoke about the economic crisis affecting the islands during Wednesday’s Canaries Day celebrations at Tenerife Auditorium. He said the Canaries needed a specific system of funding to be able to afford health care, education and social policies, and to be less dependent on the state. He also called on Madrid to reconsider certain decisions which have had major economic and social consequences.

Canaries have secondhighest jobless tally UNEMPLOYMENT in Spain continues to rise, especially in the major cities and, worryingly, the Canaries. Official figures out this week show that the combined area of Madrid, Andalusia and Valencia accounts for more than 35% of the jobless total in Spain. The report, by the Association of Large Temporary Employment Agencies (AGETT), reveals

an area-by-area breakdown of the crisis and showed the Canary Islands, with 32.3%, has the second-highest unemployment rate in the country. It covers the first quarter of 2012 and shows that one in three native Andalusians is unemployed and of these, half take over a year looking for work without success. The unemployment rate in the first quarter of this year hit a new high of 24.44% of the workforce, with over 5.6 million unemployed.

That means that 25% of Spaniards who are willing and able to work are unemployed. In the first quarter of 2012, all the Spanish regions increased their unemployment rate over the previous quarter. Extremadura has the highest total, with an increase of 3.5% and an unemployment rate of 32.1%, followed by the Balearic Islands, whose figures have gone up by 2.8% to 28%, and Castilla-La Mancha, up 2.7% to 27.2%. Andalusia, the Balearic

Islands, Castilla-La Mancha, Valencia, Extremadura and Murcia all have unemployment rates above the national average. In the under-34s group, four communities (Andalusia, Catalonia, Valencia and Madrid) total 61.2% of jobless, and only Madrid has generated less than 60% unemployment for this group during the crisis. The report also states that just over 50% of unemployed have spent more than a year seeking work unsuccessfully.

Forest management THE Cabildo in collaboration with the Ministry of the environment is holding a training course for workers in the fight against forest fires. As the weather hots up so does the risk of fire. The insular environment counselor, Ana Lupe Mora explained that “Although the use of fire as a management tool is common in all Spain, its use for the elimination of the scrub or remains under the trees requires special technical knowledge for proper results without damaging the trees, so the technique needs training.” In this regard, the Minister recalled that the Canaries “is one of the regions pioneers in this field, frequently using

controlled burns within the pine forests of the island, especially associated with the firewall areas”.This is why added

Anne Lupe Mora Tenerife was chosen to teach this course. In addition to lectures, the course, included the practice of

burning With the objective of this theory and practice course improving workers knowledge of forest management.

Schools go green? and we benefit from its many advantages,” he says. He adds, “At the moment we are awaiting the decision of the Minister of Industry and Energy, José Manuel Soria, on state support for renewable energies in the Canaries.” The area of Environment, in coordination with the municipal General Services, directed by Juan Rodriguez Bello, is working on other activities within the Granadilla + Sustainable Plan,highlighting the Innovative Project in Telemanagement and change of street lighting fixtures. Currently, the cost of street lighting is around one million euros per year, but this new system can improve efficiency by 60%, which will mean big savings for city coffers, said Jacob Donate Gonzalez. In turn, Juan Rodriguez Bello, stresses,“The versatility of this innovation means it can be digitally managed, with each fixture regulated, and we can view their operational status. It should be noted that the investment of this project will be paid back in savings within about four or five years, with no added cost to the municipality.”

THE Municipality of Granadilla’s Department of the Environment, under Donate Jacob Gonzalez, is making a commitment to clean energy. Through the installation of photovoltaic solar panels on the roofs of schools, an initiative that is part of a project called ‘Sustainable Granadilla’ and has already been endorsed by the Ministry of Education, Universities and Sustainability of the Canary Islands. The objective of this initiative is the installation of photovoltaic solar panels on the roofs of primary and secondary schools in the municipality, and injecting the resulting energy to the main grid. Through this project, an estimated 7,000 students will directly benefit. The socialist Mayor acknowledges the assistance of the Ministry of Education and hopes that this project will spread to other authorities, so, “We all give a boost to renewable energy

Retail figures flop FIGURES released this week show that retail sales in Spain fell dramatically during April, the biggest fall since records began, nine years ago in 2003. According to the latest data from the National Institute of Statistics, sales fell 9.8% last month compared with April 2011, having already fallen by almost 4% in March. The fall was much worse

than anticipated, marking the 22nd month in a row of declining sales. Retail sales relate to the amount of money we spend whilst out shopping for commodities, household goods, personal goods etc. It’s just more bad news for the Spanish economy, here in the Canaries the number of workers that have been unemployed for three years or more increased by 6.5% in 2011. This brings the number up to 55,600, some 18.2% of the Islands’ total

unemployed. The report shows that the majority of people in the Canary Islands who found themselves outof-work and signing on was due to the non-renewal of their contract that left them without work. The economy is back in recession having contracted in the last three months of 2011 and the first three months of 2012. Last Tuesday, a report from the Bank of Spain predicted that the recession would continue in the second quarter of this year.

Russian sailor rescued after a huge search by helicopters AN attempted singlehanded Atlantic crossing from Tenerife by a Russian sailor, which nearly ended in disaster on Monday, will almost certainly cost him a fortune. Ill-equipped journalist Andrei Novoselov had drifted for two days in a small lifeboat after his yacht, “Overlander”, began to sink, some 70 miles out of Tenerife, A huge hunt, involving two searchand-rescue helicopters, a

Page 8

rapid-intervention boat and several craft in the vicinity, had started on Saturday morning, with only a general description of where he was. Novoselov was sailing under the Spanish flag, after defying a ports authority warning not to set off. The rescue was made all the more difficult because the yacht did not have the required emergency equipment, like a radio beacon or flares. The sailor

had only a mobile telephone with him, so he chose to call friends and family in the Canaries and Russia instead of the emergency services. The hapless Russian, who was taken to the Green Hospital in Las Americas for a check-up, is to be denounced for “civil disobedience” and could face legal action. He will also have to make recompense for the rescue, which could amount to several thousand euros.

Awde applaud for Olympic charge DANIEL AWDE looks set to compete in his second successive Olympic Games after becoming only the fourth British man to break through the 8,000-point barrier in the decathlon.

YOUR EMAILS

The 24-year-old, from Woodford Green, Essex, clocked up 8,102 points at the Arona Combined Events competition, in the Antonio Domínguez Stadium in Playa de Las Americas at the

weekend. It was easily above the Olympic ‘B’ qualifying standard, and put him fourth on the all-time UK roll of honour behind Daley Thompson, Dean Macey and Alex Kruger.

Fellow Brit Ben Hazel was second, but trailed Awde by 7,417 points in a wellsupported event which attracted several local athletes, who competed in the Spanish Autonomous

Federations Championships, staged at the same time. Among them was Arona’s Mario Pestano, who threw 63.56m in the discus, but the Federations Cup went to Andalucia.

Dear Editor, I READ with interest the article by Mariano Zunino Siri stating the implications of the law in his reply to an e-mail from a reader. I do have a certain amount of sympathy with the sender because, sadly, there are those who run riot on holiday and, if it were me in that position, I would feel the exactly the same. However I suspect that the majority of e-mails you have recently received are from apartment owners infuriated at the current implementation of the 1995 Law by the Tenerife authorities. To my mind, “freedom of choice” is not the phrase these authorities would use in their vocabulary. Yes, many people like to stay in hotels and I have stayed in many over the years, but it now appears that my “freedom of choice” to stay in apartments has been taken from me. I have holidayed in Tenerife three times a year for a number of years and stay in two different apartments, both of which are my choice. That’s because, not only are they meticulously clean but they are in complexes of my choice. I enjoy the freedom of staying in an apartment. I admit that over the years I have stayed in some which fell short of my expectations by way of cleanliness, but that hasn’t stopped me visiting Tenerife. If the authorities can afford to employ inspectors in relation to “illegal apartments” then surely, if this law were repealed, they could then employ them to inspect apartments annually. I am positive these owners would willingly pay an annual fee for this service, which would ensure standards are met. Fines could then be imposed for those owners whose apartments do not meet the necessary standards. Having been in Tenerife when it was on a downward spiral, I have been delighted to see an upsurge in visitors. The one thing I can compliment the authorities on is how clean everywhere is, compared with a few years back, and the grass and flowers are maintained meticulously. When I shop at the Mercadona, it is incredible to see the number of foreigners like myself who are food shopping. I am sure these are people, like myself, who enjoy eating in some nights and eating out on others. The streets/bars/restaurants, too, have all been much busier. These people reply on us holidaymakers for their jobs. But sadly, by the government continuing stubbornly to implement this 1995 Law, there will be more and more people out of work - at a time when unemployment is growing higher by the day. I will soon be visiting Tenerife for the second time this year, and it saddens me that it may be my last, through no fault of my own. Margaret Crabb

Massacre sparks a mass sacking of ambassadors SYRIAN ambassador Hussam Edin Aala has been thrown out of Spain following the Horrendous massacre of 108 people by government forces in the Houla region last Friday Spain’s Minister for Foreign Affairs said the expulsion was carried out in tandem with other world governments, including France, the UK, Germany, Italy, Canada and Australia, after Western leaders all expressed

their horror at the killings, which included several children. Eye-witnesses say that progovernment shabiha militia entered homes and opened fire indiscriminately, and UN observers confirmed that many of the dead had been killed by close-range gunfire or knife attacks. Rupert Colville, UN human rights spokesman, said initial investigations found that most of those killed in the Taldou village had been

summarily executed, with 49 children and 34 women among the victims. Many of the survivors either hid or played dead. Syrian leaders blamed the sickening episode on “terrorists”, attempting to derail the peace process and provoke intervention by Western powers. UN-Arab envoy Kofi Annan described the massacre as “an appalling moment with profound consequences”. The French government

said “the murderous folly” of the Damascus regime threatened regional security, and said it was expelling the Syrian ambassador in Paris. And the Syrian chargé d’affaires in London was given seven days to leave the country. José Manuel GarcíaMargallo, Spain’s Foreign Minister, confirmed the Syrian ambassador’s expulsion, describing the gruesome event as an “atrocity”.

Granadilla introduces Don’t splash out too much new training scheme at the Industrial Park G R A N A D I L L A’ S Councillor for Tax, Employment and Local Development, Esteban Gonzalez, reached an agreement this week with the Director General of the Granadilla Industrial Park S.A., Gerardo Lopez, which he hopes will boost jobs in the borough. Lopez has agreed to cede a vacant warehouse to the Council, where it will provide a variety of courses and educational projects designed to increase access to employment in the park for the local population. Councillor Gonzalez said, “The agreement is very good news for Granadilla”, and emphasizes that this will be

01 June - 07 June 2012

an important educational resource that will enable local people to achieve a degree of skill and expertise in the industrial sector. He added, “Granadilla de Abona has an industrial estate that is not only an opportunity but a strength that allows us to develop the industrial sector and gradually compensate for the strong dependence on tourism and construction.

“We are working with determination to pursue policies that promote this industrial technology as a realistic alternative employment during the crisis and to gradually diversify the local economy.” In this regard, he cites the example of another agreement signed with the Construction Education Foundation to foster training policies in this sector, and

promote new niches of work in this area, in addition to providing greater levels of coordination and exploit relationships between respective institutions. This will encourage the Foundation to give training to all levels and the possibility of obtaining certificates of professionalism in this sector. Another initiative, said the mayor, is the future business centre, already underway on a parcel of municipal property. The industrial park in Granadilla de Abona, with an area of 700 hectares, is a strategic industrial sector on Tenerife, which hosts activities ranging from power generation for the entire island, and industrial innovation for renewable energy. Therefore it is “vital” that the City Council “seize the location of this industrial land in the municipality and its potential as a source of economic wealth and job creation,” he concludes.

TENERIFE Cabildo has launched a Personas más Sostenibles campaign, calling for residents and businesses to be extremely vigilant with their water supplies. This year has been the Island’s driest for 80 years, and although the Cabildo insists there is no hint of a drought, it must surely have some kind of impact on supplies, especially with the summer almost upon us. The campaign is part of a month-long, public-awareness initiative to promote the responsible use of water. It advocates savings in do-

mestic use and, more importantly, in the agricultural, fishing and livestock sectors. In other words: “Be careful with your use of water. Don’t leave your taps running needlessly and be aware that although supplies are holding up throughout the Island, a little caution won’t go amiss.” Jesus Morales, the Cabildo’s Minister for Water, said: “The campaign is aimed at three specific sectors - classrooms, homes and businesses - and more than 5,000 families are already participating in a sustainable homes programme.”

The accent is Fred the ‘psychic’ ferret on Canarians! THE Canarian accent has been voted the best in Spain by Spaniards themselves, who also say the Argentines speak with more passion than anyone else. A study by the Hoteles.com site involving Spanish views on accents put the Canarians top of the pile with 35% of votes, followed by Andalucians (30%), with the Basque Country and Madrid, joint third with 10% each. However, this study also

reveals that the Spanish like the Catalan, Galician and Extremadura accents least of all. Worldwide, the Italian accent (30%) is loved best by Spaniards, with the French down in third place on 15%. And 25% say that Turkish and German accents are the least attractive globally. Yet conversely, the people with the least-praised accents are also those liked most by those who want to learn the language. This is the case with Catalan, with 40% saying they would most like to study the language, followed German.

It’s a set-up, insists drug-arrest Briton JULIAN PONDER, the Briton arrested over a £1.6m cocaine haul in Indonesia, is adamant he was set up while collecting a birthday present for his daughter. He is being held in Bali on suspicion of being part of drug-smuggling operation, but his lawyer claims his client says he was “trapped”. Mr Ponder was arrested

Page 12

along with two other Brits - Rachel Dougall, believed to be his partner, and Paul Beales, together with an Indian national. The four were detained after 55-year-old British woman Lindsay Sandiford was allegedly caught with 4.8kg of cocaine hidden in the lining of a suitcase as she arrived in Bali on 19th May.

Euro 2012 starts next week and the organisers in Ukraine are looking to recreate one of the success stories from the World Cup of two years ago. Step forward Fred the ‘psychic’ ferret who it’s hoped will capture the world’s imagination in the same way Paul the Octopus did. The Ukrainians believe the mammal will have the same success in predicting the winners of games in this summer’s tournament as his

eight-legged predecessor did for Germany’s matches in 2010. But Fred is not the only creature to have the magic powers. Khryak a hog from Kiev and Citta the elephant who lives in Krakow in Poland will also be predicting football matches. The trio will choose from plates of food bearing the flags of competing teams. Whichever bowl the animal eats from determines the prediction. It’s all part of the wacky Fan

Zone project which is being promoted in Ukraine and fellow host country Poland. Project manager Sergiy Kharkov said: “Poland has an elephant fortune teller, Moscow say they have a marmoset, Kiev has a hog but we have the most cute of them all, and the most communicative one. He is local to my home town of Kharkiv. He was born here! Fred the ferret will have precisely 15 minutes in the Fan Zone and in this 15 minutes it will have to predict the winning team.”

Weymouth born Paul the Octopus, who moved to Germany when very young, correctly predicted the winner of every match involving his adopted country. He even predicted Spain’s final win over Netherlands, but he didn’t predict his untimely death shortly afterwards. The most famous animal psychic is Punxsutawney Phil who was famously the basis of the movie Groundhog Day. This year he predicted 6 more weeks of winter. He was right!

Funny Boyz off to Tenerife The Tenerife Comedy Club is set for another special weekend as three more of the UK’s top comedians check in. Headliner Geoff Boyz is one of Scotland’s finest impersonators. He has been involved in countless TV shows such as They Think It’s All Over, Dead Ringers and even hosted ITV’s This Morning! He is phenomenally busy and later this month he shares a stage with the Legend

Ian Cognito. Geoff’s routine has been critiqued as “the stuff of fine observational comedy” and GQ Magazine said: “Fast and very funny”

while the Guardian said “It would be a welcome treat to see Geoff Boyz get his own small screen special” and the Daily Telegraph: “His Robert De Niro remains unrivalled” . Luke Benson also flies in for his first Tenerife performance. The Geordie Giant, he is 6ft 7’, is being touted for greatness. Luke is another observational comedian who is fast getting plaudits for his writing. The Sunday Times said: ““a quirky observational set that earns him lots of applause. He looks the part and he’s got the talent and it’s easy to

imagine him on the telly! Dave Ward makes up the trio and he is another big man. A no frills comedian who just loves to tell jokes he’s supported amongst others Frank Skinner and Harry Hill. Time Out magazine describes him as “Enjoyable and entertaining” while the influential chortle.co.uk website said “He has them doing what they came to a comedy club to do: laugh.” Tickets are on sale now priced at just 15 euros for Friday 8th June and Saturday 9th June.

Desire, Discipline, Dedication Bramble cleared THAT WAS the mantra of Chris Penney, Director, GC Resorts who Canarian Weekly interviewed towards the end of last year. Well, his regime has paid off yet again as he has just come first in The Spanish Championships 2012, Masters 2 category, held in Malaga, last weekend. “It was a National competition, so there were over 100 competitors. My win was even more special as my training and business partner, Lee came second in his category.” Chris told Canarian Weekly. It is the first event in which Lee Burton has competed, Lee said, “I didn’t realise how hard it was going to be, I lost 30 kilos, it took me a year to prepare and a completely different change of lifestyle, but I love it.” Chris and Lee were the only Brits competing at the event. And for Chris it doesn’t stop there. Next weekend he’s off to Venice on the 9th and 10th June to compete in the WABBA World Championships where there will be 33 countries competing. But there’s no rest as following that is the IBFA Spanish Championship in Valladoid, Chris hopes he will

of sex attacks

unify his Spanish titles at this event. And finally, the IBFA Mr Universe, which is taking place in Sapri, Italy, to round off the season. Chris started bodybuilding to get in shape some years ago and has been competing as an amateur since 1992. As he is a Canarian resident he represents the Canaries, then as he has progressed is part of the Spanish National team, representing Spain, even though he is Scottish born and spent his formative years in Liverpool. Now Chris and business

partner Lee follow a strict exercise and dietary regime to get them into competition shape, Training in total 18 hours per week. Leading up to a competition Chris decreases his consumption of water, sodium and carbohydrates until the last 3 days then he loads back up with Carbohydrates whilst cutting back on water to change the look of the muscles. The day before no water is permitted. The goal is to maximise leanness and increase the visibility of veins. The appearance of

veins is further enhanced immediately before appearing on stage by darkening the skin through tanning products. Bodybuilders go through this process as they aspire to develop and maintain an aesthetically pleasing body and balanced physique. Chris still intends to carry on with his sport and reiterated his previous comment, “as I long as I can compete at a top level and overall still enjoy it I’ll carry on.” Lee added,“I’m pleased with my results this time, and I enjoy the sport.”

Premier League footballer Titus Bramble has been cleared of sexually assaulting two women after a four day trial. The Sunderland centre back was accused of groping a woman in a nightclub in Yarm, on Teesside, before sexually assaulting another woman in a taxi on his way home. Bramble had denied the charges and he was cleared by a jury at Teesside Crown Court. He told jurors that one of the complainants was “touchy feely and flirty” and kissed him “passionately” as they shared a taxi from a nightclub. Bramble maintained that she had kissed him and put her hand on his crotch during the short journey. In court he said: “We were kissing. We kissed a couple of times passionately. She was touching me and putting my hand on her leg.” However the complainant claimed he grabbed her hand. She said he then put it on his crotch and placed his hand between her legs. These actions made her “very scared”. In court Bramble admitted that he was “quite drunk” on the night in September 2011 and he said he shared a consensual kiss with the woman in the back of a cab

before her mood changed. The taxi driver however believed something was wrong and drove straight to a police station where Bramble was arrested. Summing up the case, Judge Peter Fox told the jury: ‘There needs to be proof of the sexual touching of the girl in question and that girl in question at the time did not agree to it.’ The jury took less than an hour to deliver the not guilty verdicts Afterwards Bramble’s defence lawyer Ronnie Jaffa said the woman made the allegation up to “save face” after she regretted kissing him. The case was the latest in a string of lurid stories which have dogged the former Ipswich, Newcastle and Wigan Athletic player. His brother Tes was jailed for four-and-a-half years in 2011 for raping a 19-year-old woman at a Newcastle hotel. Bramble was also arrested in connection with the incident but was released without charge. He was also among a group of men questioned by police in 2003 over allegations of a gang rape of a teenager at a luxury hotel in London. No charges were ever filed in the case after prosecutors decided there was insufficient evidence to proceed.

Two charged with murder after death of their six kids THE parents of six children, who died after a fire at their Derby home earlier their month, have been charged with their murders. Mick Philpott and wife Mairead, who broke down in tears at a police press conference earlier this month, were held on Tuesday over the blaze at their semi-detached house on May 11. On Wednesday night, the Crown Prosecution Service spokesman said there was “sufficient evidence to charge” and that it was in the public interest for them to be prosecuted. Officers removed a caravan and minibus parked outside their Allenton home for forensic tests. They said several people had come forward with “extremely

Page 14

useful” information about the fire, which was started by someone pouring petrol through the letterbox. The couple’s children, Jade, 10, and her brothers John, nine, Jack, seven, Jessie, six, and Jayden, five, died in the fire. Their 13-year-old brother, Duwayne, died of his injuries in hospital two days later. Five days after the blaze, Philpott, 55, broke down in tears next to his 31-yearold wife as they made a TV appeal for information. The father of 17, who praised the services for their attempted rescue actions, was hailed for his own efforts to save his children. The horrific episode stunned the nation, and Asst Chief Constable Steve Cotterill said: “We are determined to get to the truth of what happened, and we still want people to speak to us.”

Long wait in A&E ACCORDING to an independent health monitor the time we wait in A&E has hit an all time high, its highest for eight years. The King’s Fund says the number of patients waiting more than four hours has increased by more than a quarter over the last 12 months - 226,021 patients waited more than four hours to be admitted, transferred or discharged. Those waiting longer amounts to 4.2% of all patients seen in A&E units in England - up from 3% in the same period in 2011. The sharp rise reflects the difficulties many hospitals

are facing in keeping up performance while under extraordinary financial pressure, but in general terms the NHS is performing well. Although the national target of dealing with 95%

of patients within four hours has not been breached, 48 hospitals did exceed the target time. The NHS has to make £20bn efficiency savings by 2015. Many hospitals are shedding staff and reducing bed

numbers. But Prime Minister David Cameron pledged last June that despite the financial challenges the government would keep up the pressure on waiting times. “Waiting times really matter,” he said.

Halfords invest for growth DESPITE the current doom and gloom leisure retailer Halfords has announced it’s to create up to 1,000 new jobs over the next three years in an attempt to put its business back on track after posting poor full-year results.

Halfords saw full-year pre-tax profit drop 20% to £94.1m, down from £118.1m a year earlier. The wettest April on record affected sales on the high street, contributing to a slide in total group revenue to £863.1m,

compared with £869.7m in 2011. The company has over 12,000 staff working within 467 stores across the UK and Ireland. Despite the poor figures Halfords said it planned to invest in “key areas of

growth” in the coming year, including cycling, fitting services and auto-centres. “This will accelerate our transition to a contemporary solutions provider and will create up to 1,000 new jobs,” the company said.

Motor insurers to be investigated CAR insurance is expensive for many of us, and it seems it hasn’t gone unnoticed. The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) says it plans to refer the private motor insurance market to the competition regulator after finding evidence that insurers compete in a “dysfunctional” way. The investigation comes after a watchdog report found that artificial charges could be pushing up premiums by £225m a year for consumers. The OFT found premiums paid by drivers are being ramped up because of referral fees and the fact that insurers of at-fault drivers have little control over the way in which repairs are carried out. Such a distorted system inflated the cost of providing replacement vehicles by an

01 June - 07 June 2012

average of £560 a time, while the cost of repairs was £155 more. John Fingleton, chief executive of the OFT, said: “Competition in this market does not appear to work well for drivers.

“We believe the focus that insurers have on gaining the competitive edge through raising their rivals’ costs means that drivers pay more than they need to for their motor insurance policies. In response to the Office of

Fair Trading’s report on motor insurance Which? Executive Director, Richard Lloyd, says: “Consumers have been hit time and again with significant increases in costs for their car insurance without seeing increased benefits to their policy. Our research has even found instances where policy-holders had their fees increased but the new policy had fewer benefits. “The Office of Fair Trading found a pattern of complicated fees and charges so we want to see greater transparency and pressure on insurers to reduce prices. We would also welcome an investigation by the Competition Commission to put an end to bad practices and give consumers get a better deal on their car insurance.” Earlier in the year Prime Minister David Cameron held a summit with leading insurance firms in an attempt to clamp down on high numbers of compensation claims for whiplash injuries.

Romney’s vision spells ‘clanger’

MITT ROMNEY, was left red-faced by spelling the word “America” incorrectly after clinching his Presidential nomination in Texas on Wednesday. He dropped the blunder as he outlined his vision for the country in a new mobile phone app with his slogan “A Better Amercia”. The “With Mitt” app enables users to overlay the Romney slogan on their personal photos. But the schoolboy error led to derision as people went

viral on twitter by tweeting mocking images of “Amercia”. One showed the slogan over a picture of The Simpsons’ Ralph Wiggum, the dim-witted classmate of Lisa Simpson, while another laid it over a map of Canada. Later in the day the app, promoted by Romney’s official campaign website, was still uncorrected and was still being downloaded with the spelling error. Andrea Saul, a member of the campaign team, said an update was on its way and added: “Mistakes happen. I don’t think any voter cares about a typo at the end of the day.”

Pilot’s danger of aviation fatigue A HOUSE of Commons Transport Committee has raised concerns over proposed European rules for pilots’ flying hours and working conditions saying that they must be improved or safety could be at risk. They have been examining draft proposals from the European Aviation Safety Agency (Easa) to change the rules that govern how many hours a pilot can fly. “We have been clear that we would only support Easa’s final proposals if the CAA is content that they provide an appropriate level of protection against crew fatigue. It is especially concerned at the “possibility that a pilot could land a plane after 22 hours awake”. It said airlines welcomed the suggestions but

cabin crew and pilot representatives have expressed reservations, stating they “would have a negative impact on aviation safety in the UK”. The chairman of the committee, Louise Ellman said at present the UK has stricter flight-time regulations than some of its European counterparts, but this would cease if the new rules were implemented. She said that under the existing UK rules “43%

of pilots have reported falling asleep involuntarily at some point while on duty... and this shows how fatigue is already an issue in aviation”. Mrs Ellman said: “Current EU proposals risk making the situation worse, by lowering the UK’s current standards. A lowestcommon-denominator approach to safety will not benefit passengers, airlines or crew. “The proposed 11-hour

duty period at night for pilots flies in the face of scientific evidence. It should be reduced to a 10-hour maximum. Jim McAuslan, general secretary of pilots’ union Balpa, said: “This report should be a wake-up call to the Government that it must stand up for UK-level aviation safety standards and not allow them to be watered down. “This is not for pilots’ sake, but for the travelling public.”

Winehouse home for sale A SPLENDID villa in Camden Square, north-west London has been put up for sale with a price tag of £2.7m, but it’s not just any London property; it was the home of the late Amy Winehouse, 27 years old, where she lived and died. After hearing of her death last July thousands of fans flocked to the three-bedroom property in Camden, transforming the square into a shrine. Ten months after the awful tragedy the singer’s relatives have decided to place the property on the market saying it would be inappropriate for any of them to move in. In the UK a family spokesman told The Sun newspaper: “The Winehouses have decided to put the house on the market, with great regret. Amy loved that house but none of the family felt it appropriate that they

Page 16

should live in it.” On the market for £2,699,950, the property is listed with House Network as a “substantial and impressive three double

bedroom, three reception room semi-detached period villa with well-proportioned private front and rear gardens.”

German students learn the ropes

THIS news has been written by visiting students from Germany, who spent a week at Accion del Sol. A very special opportunity was given to us by a college in Bavaria, which allowed us to come to this Tenerife dog refuge for work experience. We were met at Munich by one of Aktiontier’s German vets, who told us all about the skills and knowledge in animal welfare we would learn. On arrival at Tenerife South airport, we were met by the director of Accion del Sol, Marion Gonzalez, who proceeded to give us a guided tour of the refuge and introduced us to many of the 180 dogs residing there. We then took five of the dogs for walk through the Parque Eolica (Granadilla’s wind farm) and down to the beach, and they had a really good time. The following day was spent with the vet and his assistant at the refuge, where we were shown various procedures - even a castration, which is so important to prevent unwanted puppies. This was very interesting, especially as some of us hope to be vets in the future. The next day, we assisted the kennel workers with their cleaning duties and feeding the dogs. Accion del Sol has a very strict routine, and we feel this is important as the standards of care are extremely high at the refuge, and it is spotlessly clean. The kennel workers’ jobs are very hard, but it is obvious to us that the staff are very

dedicated to their work. Mrs Gonzalez also gave us an insight to the care and commitment which is given to every single dog, from the time it arrives at the refuge, via Tenerife’s Protection Civil, to the time it is adopted, or for its long-term stay at the refuge. We were told that every single dog is micro-chipped, castrated, passported, fully inoculated and wormed, deflead and treated for heartworm every month. Mrs Gonzalez spends a lot of time socialising the dogs so that they can live happily in small groups of two or three to a kennel. Every day, we sat together and talked about animal welfare, our experiences and feelings. It was always interesting and informative, and it has given us a real insight to the world of animal welfare. We painted a mural on one of the walls at the refuge as a token of our thanks for such an informative week, and it has made us decide that we would all like careers with animals. Please call 922 778 630 for more information, or if you would like to help out in any way. Dog-walkers are welcome, and towels and blankets are always needed for the dogs if you have any to spare. The Accion del Sol refuge is situated at the Poligono Industrial Estate, Granadilla, Exit 51 on the TF-1, beside the ITER windmills, and it is open to the public Monday-Friday from 3-6pm.

Wingate celebrates its 30th birthday, and bids farewell to the most valued couple

WINGATE School opened in 1982 with seven pupils, aged between five and seven years, and has grown over the last 30 years into a thriving, international establishment. It caters for some 360 pupils

On Saturday 23rd June, from 7-10pm, drinks will be served at the school for all ex-pupils, parents and staff, during which there will be a presentation to Mr and Mrs Hill. If you were one of the

thousands of pupils who had the good fortune to have been taught by them, or a parent of an ex-pupil, you will surely wish to be present to say farewell. Apart from imparting their knowledge to the youngsters over the years, the couple have also instigated collections of thousands of euros for the K9 animal refuge.

Time flies when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having fun TIME is a curious entity, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you think? Invisible, intangible and tasteless - rather like some of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;actsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, who, over the years, have dipped their toes in Tenerifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment ocean briefly. Suffice to say, I shall be mentioning only those who have immersed themselves in our waters fully and made their own waves. From this moment on Maxine Jack tells me that the Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Steve Mathurin (Jawara, tied the knot with the lovely Su, also an entertainer, on 20th May. Su has released a new single called Kiss Me, which is absolutely appropriate! Everyone says it was a fantastic day, and probably why I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t invited. Gee whizz! After an absence of 10 years, Steven and Melinda Gee are returning. Melinda was a solo singer here and, along with Monique, one half of the celebrated Abba tribute, while her hubby was lead guitarist with Outrun, resident combo at the Kangaroo Bar in Veronicas. Back in Blighty, Steve toured large venues with his sevenpiece Desperados Eagles tribute band. Their new plan for Tenerife is to form a duo. Listen out! Belittle and Large There has been much talk recently in our entertainment community about the proposed idea to name and shame the venues who pay less than the â&#x20AC;&#x153;going rateâ&#x20AC;? (whatever that is), and the performers who accept these reduced fees begrudgingly. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure that while of us artists acknowledge that in our profession times are hard enough as it is, the risk of a punch in the gob from a struggling bar-owner or act would make life even more painful.

Duchense Muscular Dystrophy Foundation, listing the upcoming fund-raising events planned at the time. Well, to keep events up to date, last Saturday (26th May) at the Apolo Centre, Los Cristianos, Rah Rahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bar held an all-day, family-based charity bash, which started at 2pm with a bouncy castle, face-painting, apple-bobbing, pin the tail on the donkey and a colouring competition. The evening kicked off at 7pm with a huge number of acts performing short spots right up to the witching hour. As an unbelievable side note, one of the artists who had initially agreed to perform eventually pulled out because there was no fee. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention the name because I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t told. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably just as well. Look into my eyes Have you ever dreamt of embarrassing yourself in front of a large audience? I know I have. Fortunately, coming soon to a Tenerife near you is comedy hypnotist Don Stevens. He has lived and worked in Cyprus for many years, nightly entrancing everyone he meets. Soon, before we can blink, it will be our turn as he is arriving here any day now. Don is, for the record, also an accomplished compere and vocal/guitarist. Keep those

Kick, the TEAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awardwinning Best Live Band, play there all week from 12.30am until four the same morning! Band members are owner Steve Carney on keyboards, Johnny Grennan on guitar and bassist David â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Diddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hodgkinson. For once, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit the Horlicks; be a dirty stop-out. And finally, Robinson Crusoe Friday was said to be good for Daniel Defoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eponymous hero. Not so, though, for industrious entertainer Aidy Evans who, at the time of print, was still seeking to fill that elusive one-seventh of his working week.

22:45 ... Peter Andre: My Life

Elizabeth: Queen, Wife, Mother 9:00pm, ITV1 As Jubilee weekend begins and we join together to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee, presenter Alan Titchmarsh documents the Queen’s sixty years on the throne. This one-off documentary provides a unique insight into the Queen’s life by those who know and love her best including The Duke of York, The Duke of Cambridge, The Princess Royal and Princess Eugenie. Alan Titchmarsh explores the closeness of her relationship with her parents, her coronation at the age of 25 as the mother of a two and four-year-old, and how she has succeeded in juggling the roles of Monarch, mother and devoted grandmother. Film footage of the Royal family at home is shown for the first time, along with intimate readings taken from personal letters between Princess Elizabeth and her parents, made public for this programme. Prince Andrew shares memories of his childhood growing up at Buckingham Palace, including cushion fights with his siblings and playing cricket in the corridors to avoid the mile walk to the garden. Asked whether the way he was brought up was down to the Queen or the Duke he says “The answer to that is 50/50. Responsibility, compassion perhaps comes from the Queen. Discipline and the duty comes from him.” During a tour of Clarence House, Prince William says of the role the Queen has held in his life: “Being a young boy growing up, I’d say probably Queen first and then grandmother. But now it’s definitely grandmother first Queen second.” He later admits to getting just 30 minutes sleep the night before his wedding and recalls how he went to the Queen for advice about his big day. Private footage shows a young Princess Elizabeth, or Lillibet, filmed by her father, some of which has never been broadcast before. We also hear from childhood friends. We explore the relationship between the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh that has lasted more than 60 years, the beginnings of which are documented in deeply moving letters kept in the Royal archives at Windsor castle and never filmed before, written from Princess Elizabeth to her mother during her honeymoon. Asked if he is daunted to follow in the footsteps of the Queen and the Prince of Wales in his future role, Prince William admits, “Incredibly, yeah. They’re quite hard footsteps to fill. There’s not much wiggle room left for me to try and find my own path, but I will do. Everyone’s fascinated by the Queen’s life and how she’s done it. And I would just hope, and I think she would love, is that a bit of what she’s done and a bit of what she’s achieved, and a bit of how she’s conducted herself, we all take away in our own lives and try and do it ourselves.”

You Cannot Be Serious! 7:30pm, ITV1 Dropping straight into the busiest weeks of the sporting calendar, You Cannot Be Serious! is a new peak-time topical entertainment show which will mix clips, sketches and impressions. Skewering all the funniest, quirkiest, and silliest clips from the week’s televised sport, the show will also see legendary sports fanatic ALISTAIR MCGOWAN write new sketches and work on brand new impressions for TV for the first time in eight years. As the show will be totally topical we can’t say exactly what will feature, but viewers can expect a hilarious take on the week’s biggest, best and most talked about sporting events. With Euro 2012 Football, Wimbledon and Test Cricket, not to mention the frenzied build-up to the London Olympics, there’s sure to be plenty of mishaps, bizarre news and sports stars like ROBBIE SAVAGE, GARETH SOUTHGATE and ROY HODGSON for ALISTAIR to impersonate, as well as deliver a trademark light ribbing to. Not just a show for the hardened sports fanatic however, expect ALISTAIR to impersonate a host of other showbiz favourites like LOUIE SPENCE, PETER ANDRE and JESSIE J who will all shoulder their way into the You Cannot Be Serious! world to add their particular spin in some surprising sports situations. ALISTAIR MCGOWAN said: “I’ve always had more feedback about my impressions of sport stars than anyone else and it’s been brilliant to be working on a new generation of people we see on TV all the time. This show won’t just be for the sports nuts though and I’m really looking forward to putting some surprising showbiz faces into the middle of it all too.” The series will also see HARRY HILL as Executive Producer on the show and is the first time that ALISTAIR has worked with HARRY since both were starting to make their mark on the UK comedy scene back in 1992 with the BBC Radio 4 show When Harry Met Ally.

Series tracing the roots of light entertainment, from variety to Strictly Come Dancing and all points in between. In this episode the focus is on variety shows. In the past, singers and comedians may have topped bills but it was the 'allied acts' such as magicians, ventriloquists, tumblers, jugglers, acrobats, paper-tearers and dance acts - that made the shows so memorable. But by the mid 80s, almost all these skills were banished from our screens. Television talent shows are making a come back though due to the popularity of performers such as David Blaine and the Cirque du Soleil.

W C CHOICE Great British Menu BBC2, 7pm Continues throughout the week 7.00-8.00pm After eight weeks of hard fought culinary excellence the Great British Menu 2012 enters its final week, with daily hour-long specials. The eight winners of the regional heats battle it out in the national finals for a chance for their dish to be on the Olympic Banquet menu at a prestigious event at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich with a glittering guest list of British Olympians past and present. However, before the finalists even get into the kitchen they face a huge shock as the judges decide not all of the chefs should cook each day. Who will be knocked out of the running for the starter course? And how will the chefs react? Twenty four of the finest chefs in the country have been competing over the last eight weeks with a brief to create a four course menu that captures the Olympic spirit – food that is breath-taking and awe-inspiring. So far five of the eight finalists have been revealed: Michelin starred chef Alan Murchison of L’Ortolan, Reading, representing Scotland; Daniel Clifford of Midsummer House, Cambridge, who has held two Michelin stars for the last six years, for the central region; Colin McGurran of Winteringham Fields , Scunthorpe, who won the north east heat; Northern Ireland’s Chris Fearon from Deanes at Queens; and Simon Rogan of L’Enclume, Cumbria, who has one Michelin star and won the north west heat. They will be joined in the final week by the winners of the three remaining heats; London and the south east; Wales; and the south west. Great British Menu judges Prue Leith, Oliver Peyton and Matthew Fort will decide which dishes and chefs will make the final banquet. They will be assisted by some of the Great British Menu veteran regional judges, including Angela Hartnett and Marcus Wareing. On Monday, the finalists will prepare their starters, including Daniel Clifford’s veal tartare, caramelised sweetbread and burnt onions and Simon Rogan’s grilled salad, truffle custard, cheese foam and cobnut crisp.

Martin Clunes: The Lemurs of Madagascar ITV1, 9pm Martin Clunes realises a childhood dream of visiting the Indian ocean island of Madagascar to see the threatened species of lemurs for a documentary for ITV1. Moved by the plight of the planet’s last surviving lemurs, Martin sets out to explore what is being done to save them and their environment. These iconic and endearing primates live only on Madagascar, and one by one, they are dying there. The forests where they thrived have been destroyed, and the lemurs are hunted and eaten by man. Seventeen species are already extinct. This paradise island has turned into their hell. Only a miracle will save them all now. Madagascar broke away from mainland Africa about 140million years ago, and it is thought the lemurs arrived on the island on rafts of matted vegetation 60 million years ago. They developed into more than 100 different species to make best use of the abundant sources of food on this island, which has been called Eden with its thousands of unique plants and animals. Martin’s journey takes him to remote corners of the island in search of the elusive primates, which range in size from just over an ounce to over twenty pounds. The largest is the Indri. At two feet tall and weighing two stone, the Indri has been described as looking like a small child dressed in a panda suit. Far away from the popular tourist areas, Martin hacks through dense rainforest in remote corners of Madagascar, in his bid to find the surviving lemurs. It’s a gruelling uphill hike to 2000 feet above sea level. But his arduous journey is rewarded by his first sighting of one of the world’s rarest primates, the Greater Bamboo lemur. Martin meets the dedicated conservationists who are battling to save the lemurs, and retain the island’s natural habitat so the creatures can thrive again. Martin travels with Tony King from the British based conservation charity The Aspinall Foundation. Tony is on a mission to protect the Greater Bamboo Lemur, one of the 25 most endangered primates on the planet, whose numbers have dwindled to just 60 left in the wild in recent years. Richard Lewis and Dr Jonah Ratsimbazafy from the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust show Martin how they are fighting to save the rare Alaotra reed lemur whose habitat is under threat from encroaching rice cultivation and over fishing. Poverty and hunger is rife on the island and forests have been burnt down so more rice can be grown to feed the local population. Martin plants a tree with Dr Rainer Dolch of locally based Mitsinjo, which runs ecological monitoring of endangered lemur species. The non- governmental conservation organisation has already planted more than one million trees in an attempt to create forest corridors, linking up the last remaining pockets of rainforest habitat, to prevent interbreeding and eventual extinction. Finally Martin finds a ray of hope for the future survival of the lemurs when he travels to Parc Ivoloina where a remarkable experiment has been carried out. In 1997 five captivebred Black & White Ruffed lemurs were flown from the United States to Madagascar. From Ivoloina they were carried in cages on bamboo poles to the neighbouring wildlife reserve of Betampona to be released into the wild. The hope was that they would mate with the wild population, thus expanding the gene pool. Between 1997 and 2001 ten captive bred lemurs were released this way. Travelling by 4-wheel drive, a bamboo raft, bush taxi and finally a two mile hike up incredibly steep hills, Martin sets off from Ivoloina with Bernard Richardson, who was closely involved in the release, in the hope of tracking down some of the original surviving captive bred lemurs in Betampona.

Monday saw a star-studded diamond jubilee concert, which included showstopping performances from Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Elton John and JLS. The final day of celebrations saw a national service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral, attended by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, who rounded the afternoon off with a magnificent carriage procession from the Palace of Westminster to Buckingham Palace.

The Diamond Jubilee BBC 1, 6.30pm In celebration of HM The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, Rolf Harris joins Anneka Rice and a team of 60 inspiring artists as they try to capture 60 years of royal history on canvas. Rolf will be throwing open the doors of his specially-constructed Pop Up Art School to artists of all ages and abilities, as for one day only they set up their easels and pay tribute to The Queen. With Rolf as their mentor the artists will be able to pick up tips and techniques from the man who has become one of Britain’s favourite artists and entertainers. Joining Rolf is amateur artist Anneka Rice. Anneka has been out and about collecting stories and meeting people who have their own memories of The Queen’s reign. Not only will she be painting, but she’ll also face a huge challenge: as soon as the artists put down their brushes she will work through the night to transform the venue into a free Pop Up Art Gallery, ready for the public to view the paintings over the Jubilee weekend.

Charles Booth’s vast 1886 Survey of London ranked each one of London’s streets according to the class of its residents. In a major series for BBC Two, in partnership with The Open University, The Secret History Of Our Streets returns to six of those streets to discover how their fortunes have ebbed and flowed over the last 125 years. Episode one features Deptford High Street, known in Booth’s time as the Oxford Street of South London. Today, marooned amid 1970’s housing blocks, it’s one of the poorest shopping streets in London. Featuring compelling accounts from residents, including one family who has been trading on the high street for 250 years, the film tells a story of transformation and endurance, through personal histories and the story of the street itself. From huge extended families living together in a single street to the story of the slum clearances, old ways of life were unraveling and changes were taking place which shaped the lives of millions of British families all over the country.

Fiftyyear-old builder Jim arrives in A&E screaming in agony after a fall at work. He's managed to dislocate his shoulder in such an unusual way that consultant Chris hasn't seen the like in 30 years of emergency medicine and it takes a five-strong team to pull Jim's shoulder back into place. 30-year-old Temi is in minors with a broken toe, having mistaken a concrete block for a football. He growls and grimaces in pain, but Temi's actually more concerned about whether the crutches he's given will match his sense of style. Also in minors are married couple Pat and Alan. Both in their sixties, they've spent just one day apart in 49 years and are stoical in the face of adversity.

William at 30 also looks at his current role as a serviceman, a worldwide ambassador for charity, a brother and husband as well as his approach to his royal duties as a future king. The documentary charts the young prince’s life beginning with his birth at St Mary’s Hospital in London and his early exposure to the press pack as a youngster. Royal correspondent Katie Nicholl sets up the early conflict in William’s life between official duty and trying to lead an everyday life.

Griff Rhys Jones joins the crew of a Thames sailing barge to recreate the precarious journey that thousands of similar vessels once made as they brought produce including hay, beer, fish and even bricks from the east coast into London. He loads a barge with bales of hay and discovers the challenges of navigating a so called 'stackie' that would once have supplied a horsepowered London with its precious bedding and fodder. Negotiating tides and braving dangerous shallows, Griff sails right into the heart of London. Living the life of a deck hand, he finds out the meaning of hard work as he grapples with the boat's unique sails and leeboards; faces the bargeman's favourite meal, plum duff, and has a go at singing traditional sea shanties.

Martin Clunes travels to the island of Madagascar to investigate the fate of the world's last surviving lemurs. Lemurs live only on this beautiful island and, species by species, they are disappearing. In this moving film, Martin meets those who are trying to protect this wonderful creature from extinction and, although he is saddened by what he sees of the destruction of the lemurs' natural habitat, he is inspired by the dedicated work of the conservationists. He also travels to the Betampona nature reserve in a bid to track down some captive-bred black-andwhite ruffed lemurs, which were brought there in 1997 in hopes that they would mate with the wild population.

W C CHOICE Great British Railway Journeys BBC2, 18:30 Michael Portillo takes to the tracks with a copy of George Bradshaw's Victorian Railway Guidebook. In a series of five epic journeys, Portillo travels the length and breadth of the country to see how the railways changed us, and what of Bradshaw's Britain remains. All this week his journey takes him coast to coast from Brighton to Cromer. Michael goes fishing with the last eel trapper on the Fens at Ely and visits one of the great triumphs of 19th century engineering, the Denver Sluice. He ends his journey in King's Lynn, where he uncovers an ambitious plan to reclaim the Wash in Bradshaw's day.

The House the 50s Built, Channel 4, 21:00 To coincide with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, this new four-part series celebrates the science behind the inventions and innovations that transformed the way we used to live, and catapulted an exhausted, post-war country into the modernity of 1950s Britain. Engineer and showman Professor Brendan Walker sets out to discover the ingenuity and life-changing technology behind the inventions that took drab, black and white post-war Britain and launched it, under its new young Queen Elizabeth II, into a Technicolor-drenched world of the future. Brendan learns from practical, hands-on experience exactly what it took to bring about the 50s revolution by reconstructing a house.

You’ve got what it takes! DESPITE these times of financial crisis, people are still people buying properties, and generally at a much lower price than was previously the case. However, as we all know, the hidden costs such as notary fees and taxes all mount up and have to be taken into consideration. Obviously, all of this affects how much budget is left for other items, such as furniture. Alternatively, it could be that you know your property just needs to be refreshed, but don’t have much of a budget to work with. The answer to both predicaments is to work with you’ve already got! In our initial meeting with clients, we first find out what purpose they are using the apartment - for a rental programme, as a holiday home, or as a permanent residence, as this will affect the choice of furniture and fittings. With that in mind, we then try to establish a budget, and then allocate the funds in the most practical way. For example, recent clients bought a property in Tenerife Royal Gardens.What a fabulous location and a lovely complex, but they had used more of their budget than anticipated. There was not much left for fitting it out, so we visited the apartment with them and drew up a plan of action. In this particular case, the sofa bed was of good quality and, structurally, in reasonable condition, but the upholstery was dated and worn. Therefore, we decided to reupholster the sofa in a lightcoloured faux leather, which is considerably cheaper than buying a new sofa bed.

We made a compact armchair to match, and replaced the heavy curtains with a light, fresh voile. The sun curtains were good enough to use for a while more We reupholstered the dining chairs to match the sofa, resprayed the sideboard, which was again in good condition but a bit worn, and added some modern, abstract pictures with a strong accent colour. Together with a coat of paint, the lounge looked brighter, fresher and much more modern, and without spending much money. In the bedroom, we supplied new mattresses, again replaced the heavy curtains with light voile (the existing sun curtains provided darkness and privacy), and put in a mirror with a light frame. This is not only practical, but also maximises the natural light and makes the room look bigger. Lighter, washable bedspreads and bright cushions transformed the room. In the hall, again with a coat of paint, we replaced the dated, glass, ceiling light with a triple-spot, angled on to some metallic wall art, and turned a dingy hallway into an attractive first impression,

and a link between the various living areas. The clients were delighted with the changes to their property, and the property management company were happy that it is now of a standard to be rented out without any problems. Next. we organised a plan to continue the refurbishment, but at a pace that the clients could afford. Because the apartment they had bought is situated in a very popular complex near to the beach, the rental prospects are excellent. Based on estimated income, and outgoings for community fees and their small mortgage, we will replace the sun curtains within two months. Within a year, there should be enough excess income to replace the sofa bed with a new one in the same colour. In due course, they will continue to replace pieces of furniture as they can afford it, until the apartment is completely refurbished. So, even if your budget is limited, you can still refurb and update - you just need to plan carefully, and think in the long term. All of the above items are available at Deco Nuevo, next to the old Travel Shop in Los Cristianos.

Diamond DIY THIS weekend if you’re not partying or going away it looks to be a mammoth DIY session; just like the Queen, the home is our castle.

40 years ago it was one of the nation’s favourite past times back in the seventies with as many as three quarters (74%) of all Brits turning their hand to some kind of job around the home. However, 40 years on, the nation is a little less keen to take on an odd job. Indeed, in 2012 as few as 37% of Brits have carried out some kind of DIY task in the past 12 months. The nation’s willingness to wallpaper has dramatically

declined and back in ‘72 Brits were almost twice as likely to set up the pasting table (44%) than they are today (23%). Painting, on the other hand, has become a more palatable task. Today, some 76% of Brits have painted the inside of their home in the past 12 months, compared to 61% 40 years ago. Meanwhile, painting external walls has become slightly less popular - just 15% of Brits attempted this task in the past 12 months compared to 22% 40 years ago. One task which has grown in popularity is putting up shelves. In fact today, Brits are almost twice as likely (30%) to try their hand at this task then they were back in ‘72 (16%) – perhaps thanks to IKEA. “The trend away from

the nation’s willingness to take up DIY highlights a generation less able to take on jobs around the home, with more dual-working households and a greater availability of tradesmen and a general demand for higher standards of workmanship. Changing tastes in decor will be partially responsible for wallpaper falling out of fashion, but it is likely that people paint rather than paper because it is easier. There has been a real decline in practical skills in the last 40 years with home-owners of 2012 paying someone else to do the jobs that they don’t have the confidence to do, such as painting the outside of the house,” Mintel spokesman.

I OFTEN get into discussions with clients about how they can afford to keep having their hair done in these difficult times. Many a time, it’s colours that people have the most difficulty keeping up to, but if you want to ensure that your hair always looks its best, then you have to stick to these simple rules: 1. Don’t choose a highmaintenance colour, For example, if you are a natural brunette, then trying to be a blonde is going to be major upkeep. Try instead to go for hi-lights instead of an all-over colour which, when growing out, wont look so noticeable. Better still, if you want to have your hair coloured, then stay nearer to your own base shade so you won’t have an obvious root re-growth in six weeks or less. 2. If you do choose to have your hair hi-lighted, it is not always necessary to have a “full head” every time you have your colour done. A partial foil or half-head should be enough to disguise those roots until your next salon visit. Don’t be fobbed off into thinking that you need a full foil every salon visit because this will lead to build-up and breakage, and so there will be more roots on show. 3. If you have your hair one simple shade all over, then, depending on the colour fade, you need not have an all-over colour every time. Simply ask for a root re-touch and then rinse through the colour during the last few

Page 40

moments to “refresh” your colour. This works out to be more economical than asking for a full colour every time. Also, not having a total colour will be better for the condition of your hair as well. 4. Skimping on your haircut is the biggest no-no. If you can’t afford a decent cut, then I’d rather see clients leave their hair alone until they can. Many a time, a cheap haircut can work out more expensive, as a friend of mine found out recently. He couldn’t get to me and so he had his hair cut in, let’s say, a less-reputable salon. The result? Another haircut to put right what was done wrong, resulting in more cost - not only financially but also to his street cred because it’s still not looking too good. Let’s just say that being able

to afford to have your hair done shouldn’t be a trauma. If your stylist looks after you and you look after your hair, then you should both have fewer problems. At the end of the day, if your hair is your priority, then think about not having that extra night out, or buying that new top you saw. It is all a matter of what you place first in your life. After all, you “wear” your hair every day, and I don’t believe that putting a few euros aside to keep up with it should be a big deal. It’s the same with anything: you get what you pay for! As I’ve said before, just don’t attempt to save money by attacking your own hair and then expect us to sort it out. We do not look on DIY hairdressing too kindly.

THIS week Canarian Weekly spoke with Manfred Firsching, owner and main dentist at Clinica Dental in Buzanada. It has actually been up and running in the Buzanada area since October 2005, relocating to its newly refurbished surgery a few years later. It’s in a good position, it’s easy to find and easy to park! Manfred is German, but is fluent in English, so there will be no problem explaining what you would

like done to your teeth. His multi-lingual team can advise on all dental treatments including implants, orthodontics, teeth whitening and dentures. They can provide general dentistry, orthodontics (specialising in children) plus the more complicated wisdom surgery and implants. Manfred said that many people visit the dentist as they don’t want to lose their teeth, and obviously you need them to eat. He told Canarian Weekly, “we’re a very good quality

family dentist; we operate the same standards as in Germany, which are among the highest in Europe” He wants to offer his patients stability, so their dentist doesn’t change year after year, that is why he is both proprietor and dentist. Canarian Weekly asked him what are the biggest challenges in dentistry, he replied, “the biggest challenge is to get people to come to the dentist regularly, even when there is nothing wrong, regular visits help avoid damage.” Interestingly, 95% of his customers are resident and he has built a solid patient base by word of mouth, with patients telling other people to visit him. He continued, “We need to look after the teeth of the young, so as to avoid them being disadvantaged in the future.” Clinica Dental Buzanada is open Monday – Friday from 9.30am until 8pm. If you’re coming from the motorway they’re situated just before the Buzanada roundabout on the left-hand side. If you wish to discuss our dental treatment your first check up is free, see their ad on page 25.

Always look on the bright side of life... PEOPLE who live longest tend to be those who look on the bright side of life, say US scientists. They studied 243 centenarians and found that, far from being meanspirited and world-weary, most were cheerful, outgoing and sociable. The researchers believe that the positive personality traits may, in part, be genetically based, The study was part of the Longevity Genes Project investigating more than 500 Ashkenazi Jews over the age of 95, and 700 of their offspring. Ashkenazi Jews, from eastern Europe, are good candidates for gene studies because they are genetically similar. Lead scientist Nir Barzilai, director of New York’s Albert Einstein College for Ageing Research, said: “When I started working with centenarians, I thought we’d find that they survived so long in part because they were mean and

ornery. “But when we assessed the personalities of these 243 centenarians, we found qualities that clearly reflect a positive attitude towards life. “Most were outgoing, optimistic and easy-going. They considered laughter an important part of life and had a large social network. They expressed emotions openly rather than bottling them up.” Tests showed that the study group, who had an average age of 97.6 and were threequarters women, had lower “neurotic personality” scores than a representative sample of the general population. They also had higher scores for being conscientious. Dr Barzilai added: “Some evidence indicates that personality can change between the ages of 70 and 100, so we can’t tell whether our centenarians have maintained their personality traits across their entire lifespans.”

Beetroot’s is such a breathless antidote BEETROOT juice has the potential to benefit swimmers, singers and mountaineers, by improving their “puff”. Drinking a single shot of the red juice allowed trained divers to hold their breath 11% longer, in recent tests. Beetroot is known to boost levels of nitric oxide in the body, causing muscles to work more efficiently and demand less oxygen. Previous research has shown that beetroot juice increases physical stamina. Concentrated beetroot shots are already used by top-level British athletes, including marathon runner Helen Decker and butterfly swimming champ Ian Hulme. The new research was conducted by Swedish scientists on 12 healthy volunteers, who were trained in “breath-hold” diving. The nine men and three women were given a 70m shot of beetroot juice or an inactive placebo drink. They were then asked to hold their breath

01 June - 07 June 2012

after having a clip placed on their nose. After drinking the beetroot, the volunteers were able to hold their breath for an average four minutes and 38 seconds. They managed four minutes 10 seconds after drinking the placebo - a difference of more than 11%. The results appear in the journal Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology and Dr Harald Engan, who led the experiment, said: “Apparently, by enabling the body to reduce oxygen consumption, drinking concentrated beetroot juice has delivered significant extension of breath-holding time. “We are currently experimenting to see if this may also be able to help climbers at high altitude and hope to report on the results soon.” Beetroot juice could also help opera singers, plus woodwind and brass instrument musicians, who often need to hold their breath for long periods.

The anxious race to tackle liver disease ‘ticking timebomb’

A NATIONAL screening programme is needed to tackle the “ticking timebomb” of liver disease, caused by alcohol, obesity and hepatitis. Dr Mark Wright, a consultant hepatologist at Southampton General Hospital, has called for action after the number of deaths rose by a quarter in less than a decade. He was speaking after the Hampshire hospital unveiled its new, high-tech, ultrasound probe to diagnose liver damage without the need for invasive biopsies and overnight hospital stays. The FibroScan, which uses sound waves to assess the degree of tissue damage, takes just 10 minutes to complete, and it gives specialists an immediate overview of a patient’s liver health through computerised images. Dr Wright, a spokesman for the British Liver Trust, said: “The need for liver disease to be treated as a priority has never been more evident. “Deaths have increased by one-quarter in less than a decade, and we are sitting on a triple-ticking timebomb of the consequences of alcohol, obesity and hepatitis.

“And if we don’t intervene, I fear it will send things spiraling completely out of control.” Liver disease, the fifthbiggest cause of death in England and Wales behind heart disease, cancer, stroke and respiratory disease, comes in more than 100 forms. But is it most commonly associated with alcohol abuse, obesity and viral hepatitis. Inflammation and fibrosis (scarring) of the liver tissue, which affects around 10% of the UK population, can cause cirrhosis or liver failure and lead to cancer if diagnosis is delayed, or if left untreated.

Previously, patients were assessed and diagnosed by biopsy using a large needle pushed through the ribs as a day-case procedure or an overnight stay, which often needed to be repeated for accuracy. Dr Wright added:“Now is the time for serious consideration

to introduce a national screening programme to allow us to step in early where we can. “This way, we can make a dent in the rising death rate before we reach a point over the next 20 years where we have lost all grip on control of the disease.”

Food for thought AS WE celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the nation gears up to enjoy the best of British – consumer researchers Mintel are also celebrating their 40th anniversary. Indeed, Mintel has only ever

Page 42

known the UK consumer as governed by HRH Elizabeth II and, although our Queen has remained the same, Mintel’s consumer research shows that us Brits have changed considerably since Mintel was founded in 1972. Celebrating providing indepth consumer research for 40 years, they have re-run the first ever consumer market research report to reveal the shift in consumer attitudes

between 1972 and 2012. One change is Britain’s breakfast habits; it’s down the pan for the great British fry up as bacon and egg fall out of favour for Brits at breakfast time. While eggs were a firm favourite with the nation back in 1972, as many as three in ten (29%) enjoying a cracking good start to the day, forty years on, just one in ten (12%) Brits start the day on an egg. Meanwhile, bacon has also suffered as a breakfast option. While back in 1972 as many as one in five (20%) enjoyed a rasher or two - this British favourite has had the chop. Indeed, in 2012, less than one in ten (7%) wake up to the smell of bacon. And it’s been a short sharp shock for Paddington Bear’s favourite, marmalade. In 1972 more than a third (36%) of Brits enjoyed a dollop of the orange stuff, today, just 7% of Brits spread it on their toast. In this, the year of the Diamond Jubilee, as many as a fifth of Brits get fruity at breakfast with almost one in five (19%) drinking fruit juice, compared to just 11%

in 1972. Encouragingly, just 6% of Brits only drink it at breakfast time, while back in the seventies twice as many (14%) admitted to starting the day with juice. Now to something just as British as the queen - and it seems the chips are down for the nation’s favourite; fish and chips. Top 3 takeaways: 1972=1. Fish and Chips

(64%), 2. Chinese (17%), 3. Chicken (11%) 2012=1. Fish and Chips (39%), 2. Chinese (33%) 3. Indian (26%) While fish and chips remain the nation’s favourite takeaway - almost four in ten (39%) Brits enjoyed it in the last month - back in 1972 almost two thirds of the nation (64%) opted for this classic British takeaway.

Chinese continues to go from strength to strength, while less than a fifth (17%) of consumers enjoyed a Chinese takeaway back in the early seventies, forty years on, a third (33%) of Brits choose a Chinese. Meanwhile, as Mintel celebrates its ruby anniversary, the ruby murray (curry) takes on the third spot as the nation’s favourite takeaway. Indeed, the Indian takeaway was almost unheard of in 1972, just 4% having tried one in the month before they completed Mintel’s 1972 survey. Today, it is a firm British favourite among 26% of Brits. “As the nation’s favourite, it’s not quite the end of the line for the fish and chip supper, but a greater variety of takeaway options has seen ethnic choices such as the Indian and Chinese takeaway grow in popularity in the last 40 years. Since 1972 consumers have been travelling the world more than ever before and enjoying the foods they ate on holiday back here in Britain. As well as growing in confidence to try them, this also reflects the wider range of takeaways cited in the research.” Mintel’s 1972 research also reveals how many of today’s store cupboard favourites were considered “exotic” just 40 years ago. While olive oil was considered an “exotic food” back in 1972, just 16% of Brits having bought some in the past 3 months, today, over half (53%) of Brits are regular purchasers. Similarly, garlic (11%) and tomato puree (20%) were rarely seen in the British shopping basket, but now they are used by as many as 48% and 42% of households respectively.

Air Europa increase Jubilee getaway flights to Tenerife JUBILEE weekend looks like being an excuse for travel with the additional bank holiday. Coupled with the fact that school holidays also are planned for this period.

Air Europa will increase its connections to Tenerife by six percent this summer; in addition it will offer additional seats, an increase of nine percent. The increased connectivity was announced by the Director of Sales for Air Europa, Alberto Caldera, in a press conference in which he was accompanied by the Minister of Tourism of the Cabildo of Tenerife, Carlos Alonso, and the CEO of Tourism of Tenerife, Miguel Angel Santos. Alberto Caldera said that the flights will be from

Madrid and Barcelona, taking the figures up to 66 flights for Madrid and 16 in Barcelona. The increase seat capacity will be through using the Airbus 330-200. The Airbus 330 is the aircraft used on transoceanic routes of Air Europa. It can carry 299 passengers and up to 37 tons of cargo. Miguel Angel Santos explained that the increase in connections by Air Europa is through work carried out by Turismo de Tenerife, following the disappearance of Spanair, which forced them to seek new flights from the mainland and other parts of the island bound for Europe.

Further negotiations have begun with other airlines to increase the number of flights from both France and the UK. Despite the increase in ticket prices due to the increase of air fares, Air Europa has not seen a significant drop in the number of passengers flying to Tenerife. The airline, according to Alberto Caldera, has seen a small increase and there is “a lot of demand.” Air Europa schedules on routes to Madrid and Barcelona enable passengers travelling to or from Tenerife to access a broad network of domestic and international flights.

Frank Pullman, Head of Thomas Cook Airlines UK & Ireland said: “Our staff and crew at UK airports are all set for a busy weekend as many take advantage of the extra days off and school holidays to head off on holiday. Over the four days we have 332 flights taking more than 63,000 holidaymakers to 45 destinations worldwide and advise those travelling to get to the airport early to ensure we can get everyone away on time for their well deserved break. “Popular destinations include those in the Euro Zone such as Spain, Canaries and Greece where thanks to the strong pound against the euro, holidaymakers will find their spending money will go that bit further. Her Majesty the Queen is no stranger to travel and has visited approximately 116 different countries over the years, she is indeed one of the most widely travelled Monarchs in history. The

Queen succeeded to the throne during a tour of Kenya on the 6th February 1952 -Kenya (visiting Sagana Lodge, Kiganjo,) and set the standard for a woman who would spend much of the next 60 years travelling the world, representing the UK on both state and commonwealth visits. Throughout the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee a series of visits to Commonwealth countries are being undertaken by members of the Royal Family in support of Her Majesty.

In the thick of it

LAST Wednesday night saw approximately 1,500 airline passengers facing a night of disruption after they were diverted away from Gatwick Airport due to fog and maintenance work. A total of 24 flights were unable to land at the airport and diverted to other UK

Page 44

destinations due to the combination of poor visibility and runway repairs, a Gatwick spokesman said. The foggy conditions meant short and medium-haul flights had to be diverted to Stansted, Luton, Bristol and Heathrow from around 12.10am onwards. A Gatwick spokesman said: “We had some planned runway maintenance works scheduled for last night which all flight operators were informed about and when we do that we have to

use our second runway which is a visual strip. “We then suffered some fog which led to 24 aircraft being diverted.” All diverted passengers were transferred by coach back to Gatwick. Easyjet, British Airways and Thomson passengers were affected by the disruption. Three BA short-haul flights due to depart Gatwick had been cancelled because of the disruption and eight flights were delayed, the spokesman added.

Email: Jav@canarianweekly.com MAZDA’S CX-5 new diesel, with a whole host of pluses against its name, is probably the most appealing machine in this compact SUV category. With CO2 emissions of 119g/ km, together with a claimed 61.4mpg on the combined cycle and top speed of 126mph, it represents the lowest running costs of any model in the range. It also has the lowest power output, and is the most appealing model in the range for most pockets, Key to these remarkable running costs is Mazda’s SkyActiv technology. The new line of engines has an exceptionally low compression ratio of 14:1, which allows an improved fuel/air mixture. Also, the block is 10% lighter than the standard 2.2-litre Mazda unit, and mechanical friction is reduced by 20%. The result of these advances,

Sky’s the limit for this Mazda beauty together with its lightweight structure and more efficient gearboxes, means the Japanese company can position the CX-5 as a genuine alternative to hybrids and electric vehicles.

This is a superb machine and, arguably, all everything you could ever need from a compact SUV. Such are the performance and dynamics on offer 0-62mph in 9.2sec - that it’s

easy to wonder why buyers would be tempted by the high-power, 173bhp version of the same engine. The engine is refined, even from a cold start-up and, unless pushed hard, is hushed. Perhaps that’s why wind and road noise make themselves known at speed. Yet it’s generally a quiet way to eat up hundreds of relaxed motorway miles. Mazda’s Tiguan rival also feels as though it has plenty of urge. Its power delivery is smooth, with little noticeable turbo lag; the product of a twin-turbo configuration. Power is rated at 148bhp at 4500rpm, and torque hits

its peak of 280lb ft between 1800 and 2600rpm. Mazda continue their reputation of installing some of the best manual gearboxes in the business, and the sixspeeder truly is a flick-of-thewrist job. The steering is communicative, although it feels a tad artificial at times but, generally. it makes the most of the CX-5’s welljudged chassis. Ride is good, even on 19-inch wheels, although the thinner rubber means an increase in road noise. Typically, Mazda have delivered a well-thoughtout cabin, constructed with

their usual quality control, and it’s also comfortable. Refreshingly, there is virtually no carry-over from any other model, and the company insist this is an all-new car and they really do mean it! The low-power diesel is certainly the one to have, unless four-wheel drive is a requirement, and you’d have to step up to the 173bhp model to gain that. The CX-5 is superbly finished, cheap to run and fun to drive. Its diesel powertrain delivers efficiency at least as good as an equivalent hybrid. And for £23,395, this class now has another top-level contender!

BMW’s stylish Zagota is just a concept classic … for now! THIS striking BMW Zagato Coupe concept has been unveiled at the prestigious Villa d’Este Concours in Italy. It is one of the most amazing shows for lovers of classic cars and motorcycles, and it has been held annually since 1929 on the shores of Lake Como. Built mostly by hand, it isn’t meant to suggest a production car, and the two companies have no plans to build more. Yet the one they did bolt together is not a designer’s dream, confined to the turntable, but a coupe that can be driven legally. There are several features that hark more to Zagatos past than any BMW, especially the glass rear hatch, common to all racing Zagatos. But the overall effect suggests an upper-class successor to the Z4 coupe. Its subtle twin-dome roof

01 June - 07 June 2012

is another Zagato signature, last seen on the Aston V12 Zagato, which won the 2011 Villa d’Este Concours. And it is no coincidence that the British model has since gone into production at a

cost of £405,000. Further changes to the standard BMW model include the addition of large, cooling ducts on the shapely bonnet, plus redesigned bumpers front and rear, and new dual

exhaust tips. The alloy wheel designs are also unique. No technical details have been revealed by BMW yet, but the Zagato could be based on the 306bhp, 295lb/ft torque BMW Z4 Coupe sDrive35i.

Performance figures of that car include a 155mph top speed and a 0-62mph sprint time of 5.1sec. Previous BMW show cars, such as the 328 Homage and GINA concept, were never

meant for production, and some BMW execs say the Zagato isn’t, either. Yet why build a roadready, realistic concept only to confine it to an Italian lakeside resort once a year?

Super Sonic’s tonic for Cozy Match Reports By Geoff Huxtable THREE Premier League teams have 100% records after two weeks of the new season. Reigning champions Xtreme Sports Bar put six past Team Valle, while The Pub continued their solid start with a win over Target Army. And Sonic hit a 180 for Cozy Wanderers to put them in third place with six points out of six. Phoenix Bar entertained Bar 180 A and all involved enjoyed a cracking night of darts. Although Richard hit a 180 with his first three darts, and Mick checked out on 153,

it was the home side who produced a minor upset and took the match 6-2. Palms Sports Bar’s “super” team are top of Division 1. They spanked the Playboys 7-1, thanks to a fine performance from Mark, who hit a maximum and a 101 finish. Cozy Warriors’ Dave hit his first 180 at Gaffers A, but the home team prevailed to put themselves in second spot. Ben, last season’s Mr.Maximum, from Ourplace Naturals, got off the mark with his first for this campaign, but the Silencio outfit have now drawn their opening two matches after they finished all-square at Rood.

Upsets galore in singles tournament THE end-of-season Singles competition always sees a raft of shock results, and this year there were more than ever. Lots of the fancied runners fell at the first fence, and there will be plenty of players making their Finals Night debut in 10 days. One of the biggest upsets saw Shane from Gaffers use his home table advantage to beat Ashley. The Burnley boy was a heavy favourite going into the final, but Shane kept his cool to seal a deserved win. There were plenty of “big guns” at Dreamers, but the formbook went out of the window. Bar 180’s Richard

Page 46

played some inspired pool as he accounted for Hoops’ Johnny in the semi-final. But he missed his chances to defeat James and the

Gaffers’ lad went through 3-0. Atlantis Sharks’ Paul Dwyer loves the big stage, and his bulldog spirit got him

through at Hoops. Dreamers’ Tommy played well in the International match in January, and he used that experience to win at Legends,

whose guv’nor, Graham, runner-up last year, booked his last-six place with victory at Bar 180. Arguably, the toughest “table” was at Trap Door. Lots of big names went by the wayside as Fritzel, of Hammers A, ruffled some feathers to claim the glory. The upsets were not reserved for the First Division, either, as FOUR Third Division players booked their places at Finals Night. Next Door’s Ian will be joined by Matt, from Gaffers B. Matt overcame a Jaeger-influenced Tommy to progress while Ian upset the odds to win his table. There will be two C&A Titans making the trip to Torviscas. Leon triumphed at La Caña, while Mark won at Phoe-

nix, which was arguably the toughest table. And in a massive upset, Nick from Tenerife Pool Tables makes up the finalists after playing the pool of his life at Summerlands. A big thank-you to everyone who helped on the night, and also to the host venues.

IT was job done for Tenerife’s two senior sides on a Super Sunday afternoon.

an open goal. A subsequent rasper was cleared off the line miraculously, and another effort cannoned off the bar with Marcos well beaten. It seemed as though it would be one of those days, until Victor Bravo unleashed a 25- yard cracker that flew into the Badalona net. The 13,339 crowd went wild - and they had even more to cheer straight after the restart. Aridane, who was having a stormer, got his reward in the 48th minute. He was the tallest player on the pitch yet, somehow, Badalona forgot to mark him when Chechu swung in a corner. He had the freedom of Santa Cruz and, confidently, guided the ball into the top corner with a glancing header. That was it: tie over! Only, that’s not how it works for Tenerife fans. Needing two goals and a miracle, Badalona

went for broke. They threw men forward and Tenerife suddenly clammed up. They were badly missing Pablo Sicilia who had been replaced with concussion. Neither Medina nor Tarantino were taking responsibility at the heart of defence. And with Goikoetxea buzzing around like a drunken wasp, the fans started getting nervous. Twice Aragoneses came to Tenerife’s rescue before the inevitable happened. Tenerife failed to clear a corner and Ceballos thumped one home. Badalona just needed a goal and Tenerife were out. Minutes later, Robles unleashed a 30-yard piledriver which scraped the paint off the crossbar. The gung-ho attacks, however, left gaps at the back and, with 10 minutes to go, Chechu calmed the nerves and finished the tie with a sweet

Tenerife edge closer as Marino gain promotion In Las Americas, CD Marino earned promotion back into the third tier of Spanish football for the first time in a generation. They were always in control against Fuenlabrada, who were crestfallen at the full-time whistle. Willy Barroso’s side are crammed full of young local talent and they thrilled the 3,000 crowd as they crowned promotion in style. They needed only to avoid defeat but took the lead early on to help ease any nerves. Cristo Martin carved out a chance for the excellent Albert Noah to slot home after just nine minutes. This forced Fuenlabrada forward and they made a match of it when they pulled one back midway through the second half. The home defence were caught napping and Albert Pulido fired home. They then went in search of a second goal to send the game into extra-time. But Marino held firm and, deep into injury-time, the impressive Cristo Martin finished the season off in style. Manager Barroso was overcome at the final whistle, saying: “Ten months ago, promotion was just a dream - but we did it. The players have been true professionals all season and today, we worked hard and we delivered. It was a fine team performance.” Marino will now play in Segunda B, from which CDT are desperate to leave. They took a massive stride towards avoiding a Tenerife derby as they finished off a plucky Badalona. Tenerife dominated the first half as Badalona seemed to be pacing themselves in scorching conditions. Perona and Aridane were causing the away defence all sorts of problems, and Perona should have had a hat-trick inside the first half-hour. Only he knows how he managed to head against the post when presented with

CD Tenerife 3 Badalona 1 (4-2 agg)

finish after more excellent work from Aridane. He was all Lionel Messi as he somehow weaved the ball to the byline and pulled it back for Chechu to slot home. It was no more than Tenerife deserved, even if they made the crowd sweat for it. Canarian Weekly ratings CD Tenerife: Aragoneses 7, Sergio 5, Pablo Sicilia 6 (David Medina 29min 6), Tarantino 6, Llorente 6, Chechu 7 (Luismi Loro 83min), Kitoko 7, Víctor Bravo 7, Kike 7 (Zazo 61min 5), Perona 8, Aridane 9. Badalona: Marcos 7, Jordi Ferron 6, Vázquez 6, Pelegrí 7, Soriano 6, Víctor Rodríguez 6, Jonathan Robles 7 (Pugui 81min), Ceballos 7, Alex Garcia 6 (Manolo Bueno 83min); Serramitja 5 (Ignaci 69min 5), Goikoetxea 5. So Tenerife are, in effect, in the play-off semi-finals and they must now get past Linense, from just outside Gibraltar. On paper it’s the easiest drew they could have faced, but it does mean playing on the artificial turf this Sunday. Linense finished second in group 4, which looks the poorest division, especially after Cadiz’s capitulation at the hands of a Real Madrid Castilla side who were well beaten in Santa Cruz a few months ago. But they shouldn’t be taken lightly. They have lost only two games at home all season and their defence looks solid.

Here's more power to your elbow - and a big shot in the arm OVER the years, the majority of amateur golfers who have come to me with elbow pain are suffering from Tennis Elbow, rather than Golfers’ Elbow. The belief that most golfers incur the latter is simply not true, although this was not always the case 30-40 years ago. Golfers’ Elbow was more prevalent then, purely because of a tendency for the golf swing to be more arms-led, with greater lateral movement. Now, however, the swing has evolved into a more athletic and powerful swing, which is produced through the core muscles. So what is Tennis Elbow? Well, it’s a combination of a repetitive strain injury (RSI), which causes pain on the outside of the forearm, radiating down into the wrist area (golfers’ elbow is pain on the inside). It is aggravated by gripping objects such as golf clubs, door handles and steering wheels. The pain gradually leads to a feeling of weakness in the hand and arm and, eventually, an inability to play golf. One major reason why amateur golfers suffer more with tennis elbow on their lead side ( left arm for a righthander ) than professionals is because of a swing fault called Chicken Winging. This fault in your swing is a breakdown of the lead elbow through the impact of the ball. It causes the lead elbow to lose its extended position (straight arm) into a flexed one (bent arm) at impact. This bent-arm position at impact puts excessive force on the tendons round the elbow, causing lateral tendinitis (Tennis Elbow). As if developing Tennis Elbow isn’t bad enough, Chicken Winging also has a devastating effect on your handicap because it make it difficult to transfer power to ball, and you will have a tendency to hit high, weak shots. The unfortunate thing about golfers who suffer with Tennis Elbow is that not enough of them seek professional help and treatment. And if they do, it is the symptoms only which get treated and not the cause. If you don’t treat the cause - and the cause is your swing

- then it is inevitable that you will continue to suffer bouts of Tennis Elbow throughout your golfing life. How to I treat the cause? First of all, I give all my clients a physical screen. By asking my client to perform a series of simple, physical movements, I am able to identify and isolate any physical restriction or muscle imbalance that causes the swing fault. In the case of Chicken Winging, I will normally find a weakness in lead-arm strength and limited flexibility in the lead shoulder. Both need to be corrected with a bespoke exercise programme. This will allow the arm to rotate around the shoulder, and to keep the arm fully extended during impact. As well as a tailored exercise programme, I also prescribe golf-swing drills to give the client a sense of the correct arm motion. These also help re-educate the brain (motor learning skills) to understand the correct movement. By having my clients swing the club with the left and right hands SEPARATELY, it allows them to feel the correct role each arm plays in the downswing. Other contributing factors to tennis elbow can be: Golf equipment · Have not had grips checked for the right size · Slippery grips, old/dirty/wet grips, with rain or sweat · Clubs not fitted correctly (too heavy, long, etc.) · Golf practice · Poor warm-up for golf: no stretching, and hitting full, long shots straight away · Poor training regimes, such as spending too long on one shot and causing arms to overcompensate · Practising off mats for excessive periods, which means excessive impact on a non-forgiving surface.

On the left is a fully-extended arm, on the right is a Chicken Wing

Horoscopes of the week ñ

Friends let you down, but this is really a blessing as you’ve been allowing certain people to take advantage of you for far too long. Use this week to sit down and think about the people in your life who have really helped you, and have made the effort to make your life a better place to be. You’ll be slightly surprised with the answer. CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd) Travel brings your life to a more interesting venue, and you start to see the fun that you’ve been missing out on. You’ve actually been punishing yourself for the hurt which someone caused you, and it’s time to make yourself a priority again. News of a past work contact puts a prime opportunity before you. LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) Finances have been somewhat up and down and unpredictable, but they will soon take a turn for the better and you start to feel more in control of your cash flow. Don’t rule out trying to get closer to the person you’ve been watching from afar. With the current line-up, that person is likely to be more compatible than you’d first dreamed. VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd) Energy levels are not as good as they have been, so you may want to rethink all that you’ve been planning. Rather than letting friends and family down, you’d be wise to rearrange plans sooner rather than later. Calls you make and receive do a lot for your love life as passion finally kicks back into your life. LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) You’re a little more moody than usual and you need to be careful that you don’t say things you don’t mean to those you love. You would be far better putting any excess energy

Page 48

into your work, which has been lacking your devotion and time of late. Going out of your way for meetings can really help your reputation - and finances. SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) This is a really good time for love and romance, so you just take down those defences. If someone asked you, then you would probably say you didn’t have any opportunities around you right now, but how wrong you would be. Wake up and smell the coffee and the roses - and start living life again. S AG I T TA R I U S (November 23rdDecember 21st) You’ll soon get over the low spell you’ve been having. Don’t be surprised if friends comment on the new you, which they’re seeing. You’re happy, but have you realised this fact yet? Take look in the mirror and put a smile on your face, if it’s not there already. C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) Enemies do you a favour by trying to dally with you this week because you know them better than they know themselves. New ventures you take on in the social world put the spring back in your step. Foreign shores also beckon and you get the chance to plan something which you thought was now out of your reach. AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) The time you take out of life for you - and

purely for you this week - helps you to find the calm and relaxation which has so obviously been lacking in your life. For those of you who will not choose to take time, you may well be forced you, and don’t fight it; PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) Someone wants to get up close and personal, with you, but you appear to have very different ideas. Why not let them know, and you don’t have to be rude to state where current events stand. Things you discover about a family member help you to work out why that person has been acting so strangely of late. ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) You are feeling so much happier now that you’ve made the effort to move on in life. The past is no longer a setback to you but an asset, because of the very valuable lessons it taught you. Don’t let new friends, or even your family, bully you into spending or lending money you don’t really have. Stand up to them for once in your life. TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) You find out secrets which change the way you view certain people. This is a positive thing as you start to make those who really matter a priority again. Flirting is getting on the dangerous side at the weekend, and it’s time for many of you to start making some choices about who you want as a partner.
