TAXMAN’S AFTER A massive CHUNK OF MESSI MILLIONS! LIONEL MESSI, acknowledged as world’s finest footballer, is said to owe Spain’s taxmen more than four million euros.

They’re after their money, but the Argentine super-hero says he has never been contacted by the tax authorities.

The 25-year-old Barcelona legend, accused along with his father, Jorge Horacio, has strongly denied the allegations via his Facebook page, saying: “We have just known through the media about the claim filed by the Spanish tax authorities.

“We are surprised about the news because we have never committed any infringement.”

Paulino Rivero, President of the Canarian government has announced a date for the opening of the Tenerife South Hospital, together with a specialty care centre.

The announcement has been received with some scepticism because for three decades, residents in the south of the island have received a string of broken promises and lies.

A meeting took place last weekend between the lobbying group La Plataforma Pro Hospital del Sur, all the municipalities in the south, plus representatives from the Tenerife Cabildo and Canarian Government.

It is intended that Hospital Sur will open in November 2014, the first phase. It will include facilities such as outpatients, emergency, X-Ray, physio, day patients and mental health.

The Consejería de Sanidad del Gobierno de Canarias confirmed to the Canarian Weekly that there will be an investment of 9 million euros of which 6 million euros will finish the building, a further million will go

The 20m euros-a-year wages he reportedly earns with Barca is not at issue; what the authorities appear to be challenging is how he has handled the huge sums earned from image rights between 2006-2009.

They claim the player and his father used tax havens in Belize and Uruguay to avoid payments on image rights from a number of the player’s huge endorsement deals.

And they have accused the player and his dad of defrauding the state of taxes relating to the income during that period.

The news has stunned the sporting world because Messi is, by nature, squeaky clean.

His magnificent achievements on the pitch, allied to his camera-shy, humble atti-

tude when not performing, has endeared him to millions around the world, and especially in Spain.

The little quicksilver striker has achieved feats barely plausible in the modern game, such as his 91-goal haul in the calendar year of 2012, which overtook German Gerd Mueller’s 40-year-old European record.

The Argentine won the first of his four European Footballer of the Year awards (Ballons d’Or) in 2009 and since then, his exceptional displays have rocketed his value as a marketable commodity.

He scored in the 2009 and 2011 Champions League finals as Barca beat Manchester United to claim their third and fourth European crowns respectively.

His individual scoring

feats have become the stuff of legend. And in 2012, he also smashed Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo’s previous record of 40 goals in a La Liga season.

Messi registered 50 in the league, and equalled the record number of goals in a single Champions League campaign with 14.

Those feats, together with his fourth Ballon d’Or in January, saw him move up one place to 10th in this year’s Forbes List of highestpaid athletes, with a reported annual income of nearly 16 million euros from endorsements alone.

Personal matters also appear to be going smoothly for Messi as well because his longterm girlfriend, Antonella Roccuzzo, gave birth to their first child, Thiago, last November.

His nice-guy image was displayed again last month when he carried his seven-month old son around the Nou Camp as Barca celebrated winning their fourth Spanish title in five years.

But this latest news rounds off a frustrating period for the world’s best player, because his brilliance on the field has been tempered by injury.

A hamstring problem forced him to watch on from the sidelines as Bayern Munich hammered Barca 3-0 in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final to seal a record 7-0 aggregate defeat for the Catalans.

And a recurrence of the injury against Atletico Madrid early in May forced him to miss Barca’s last four league

to adapting the existing Mojon building and a further 1.5 million will be allotted for equipment.

Once the first phase is finalised, the second

games of the Spanish season.

He returned in time to take part in Argentina’s two recent World Cup qualifiers, against Colombia and Ecuador, but his lack of fitness kept him on the substitutes’ bench until the last half-hour of both matches, which resulted in two draws.

It means they are still a few points short, mathematically, of sealing their place at next year’s World Cup Finals in Brazil.

On the very day on which he was set to start his holidays after an exhausting 10-month season, the Argentine star now must face up to the first serious scandal of his career.

Mind you, with Messi’s extraordinary earnings, four million euros must seem like beer money to him! phase will continue progressing, but will be determined once again by the availability of funding.

The municipalities within the south are ecstatic at the news but hope that this high-level promise comes to fruition and for whatever reason is not stifled.

It’s thought to be one of the most unusual health stories in the island’s history; a hospital that’s taken three decades to build on an island with a massive influx of tourists every year.

The struggle seems to have been a political one, and more recently protesters have voiced their unhappiness taking to the streets; many have thought that the current ‘crisis’ has been used as a crutch, an excuse as to the rationale behind the lack of action.

In addition to the new 23,000 square metre hospital, distributed over 4 floors, there will be a specialist care unit that will focus on care for the elderly, terminally ill and those with high dependency.

As we go to print, there appears to be no work taking place, but after years of waiting, what’s a few days!

Saida Prieto testifies

TENERIFE Carnival Queen candidate Saida Prieto, who suffered horrific burns when her dress caught fire during this year’s gala event, testified in court yesterday (Thursday).

“I was rescued by the sound technician and my designer - I did not see the fire,” said Saida, who was accompanied by her mother and her lawyer.

But the 25-year-old remembers “everything” that happened on that fateful 6th February evening.

“Now, we have to wait out the trial,” said Saida, who has been through 13 operations and still requires another two.

Changes to the IGIC payments Javier González Ortiz, the Minister of Economy, Finance and Security of the Canarian Government has confirmed that both the self-employed and small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) will not have to pay IGIC (like VAT) to the tax man until their invoices have actually been paid.

Until now the tax was payable in the quarter in which a business person

raised their invoice, regardless of whether it had been paid or not.

In the case of IVA (VAT), applicable to mainland Spain, the matter has already been included in the Draft Law on Entrepreneurs.

Ortiz has said that the IGIC measure will

come into force in the Canary Islands at the same time as the new state regulation which will be next year, during 2014.

On the face of it it’s a positive move for the self employed and SMEs, however the minister warned taht

“it will have an initial impact on public funds and that this needs to be addressed as it could affect all important deficit calculations”, this fact has not been taken into account by the State Government.

González Ortiz, also announced a scheme in collaboration with various financial institutions to make available around 300 million euros in loans to entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises in the Islands.

Ortiz said access to credit is the main difficulty in initiating new projects, “so that this government is focusing its efforts on overcoming this handicap.”

Q for quality This year, 174 beaches and 15 marinas have been awarded the distinction guaranteeing a commitment from managers to offer a better service to users.

Obtaining a “Q” for Tourism Quality Flag demonstrates that the corresponding audits have been passed and that the level of tourism excellence required by the regulations has been attained.

The Minister for Industry, Energy and Tourism, José Manuel Soria, oversaw the presentation of the “Q” for Tourism Quality Flags to beaches and marinas together with the State Secretary for Tourism, Isabel Borrego, and the President of the Institute for Tourism Quality, Miguel Mirones.

During the event, Minister José Manuel Soria handed over “Q” for Tourism Quality Flags to the 174 certified beaches of 93 local authorities and public administration services

in 10 autonomous regions, as well as to the 15 marinas that also obtained the distinction.

In his speech, the Minister for Industry, Energy and Tourism highlighted the strength of holiday sun and sand tourism - the reason why 75% of all tourists come to Spain every year and the importance of offering the highest possible quality in the installations and services offered to users.

Given the existence of emerging destinations whose main competitive advantage when compared with Spain is based on price, Spain must maintain and promote the highest quality standards as a distinguishing factor in its offer.

In this regard, the “Q” for Tourism Quality Flags are a tool that helps improve the services provided to the tourists who visit Spanish beaches and generate added value for the offer in Spain.

The “Q” for Tourism Quality forms part of the Comprehensive System for Spanish Tourism Quality, a project that involves cooperation and participation from all three tiers of government - State, regional and local as well as the private sector.

Collaboration between the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism and the Institute for Spanish Tourism Quality is aimed at raising the profile of the Spanish tourism

product through a system of recognised quality at both national and international levels, as well as in a selfregulated manner in order to involve all subsectors of the Spanish tourism industry.

The Institute for Tourism Quality, the body responsible for awarding the “Q” Brand, is a private certification entity that was set up in 2000 to specifically develop quality in the tourism sector.

Its members are the most important tourism business organisations in the country. It is also supported by the State Secretariat of Tourism, the regional governments and the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces.

Soapbox - Ryanair

Sea-plane for the summer

THE Spanish Government Minister of Industry, Energy and Tourism, Jose Manuel Soria, announced on Saturday that as from the 1st July until 30th September, the Spanish Government will temporarily place a fire-fighting seaplane in the Canaries due to the risk of forest fires on the islands.

Canarian-born Soria made the announcement during the closing ceremony of the 8th Regional Congress of New Generations of PP, which took place on Saturday at the Auditorio de Tenerife, in Santa Cruz.

The plane will be based in Los Rodeos Airport.

The allocation is part of the overall Fire Plan 2013, which has allocated 65 aircraft and 10 brigades in anticipation of the summer season.

The Ministry will provide 65 aircraft, five fewer than the 70 allocated last year, for the summer months. Which will be distributed at “different strategic points” throughout Spain.

In total, there will be 32 planes and 31 helicopters, with

different capacities of water, which will enhance the work of those on the ground, plus two observation planes that will tour the country to take pictures of the affected areas.

There will be ten brigades also to provide reinforcement and the same as in 2012 – these

14th June - 20th June 2013

will specialise in fighting large-scale fires.

There will be 11 units that monitor weather and possess radio communications.

Some 18 teams will continue to work on fire prevention and the Meteorological Agency meanwhile will provide daily information about

the risk of fire and construct maps which indicate the danger zone.

Last year, the forest areas throughout Spain suffered 198,446 hectares burnt and there were 37 large wildfires, those in which more than 500 acres burned.

DID you know the term ‘soapbox’ originates from the days when speakers would stand on a wooden crate, originally used for the shipping of soap or other dry goods from a manufacturer to a retail store?

Well, this week I’m going to get on mine.

Why? Ryanair!

You’re all aware of the French airtraffic control strike; understand why they’re doing it fine. Planes can’t fly through French airspace, so there will be delays.

Ryanair’s website states that they were “forced to cancel over 200 flights on Tuesday as this unwarranted strike action not only affected flights to and from France, but also flights travelling through French airspace.

It goes on: “Regrettably, we have had to cancel a further 250 flights on Wednesday and we sincerely apologise to passengers, but the circumstances are entirely beyond our control.”

There were two Ryanair flights that didn’t leave Tenerife; therefore, the people

leaving the UK couldn’t get to us. Yet no other airlines cancelled flights to Tenerife.

They just put more fuel in their planes, which allowed them to fly out into the Atlantic and down to Tenerife.

There is a lesson to be learned here, as well as never to fly Ryanair: there were people who turned up at the airport unaware of the trouble because on their booking, they had not put an email/telephone contact.

So, all those people who had done so had already claimed their refund, or rebooked their flights.

A lovely couple from Birmingham were stranded here for an additional week - or they had an option to fly to Edinburgh in a bid to get home!

The girls on the Ryanair desk at Reina Sofia did a sterling job and, I must admit, I wouldn’t like to have swapped seats.

As I’m writing this, Ryanair are trying to play the hero by announcing four extra flights for stranded passengers in Malaga and Palma. Please!

Until next week…

From the 14th until the 16th June the Arona flower and plant sale takes place in Las Galletas. In addition there will be craft, music, and children’s activities taking place in the Las Ramblas area.

This week approximately 2,000 flights were cancelled across Europe as a result of a three-day strike

by French Air Traffic Controllers, which actually lasted for two days – Tuesday and Wednesday.

The French workers are protesting at a plan to simplify Europe’s patchwork airspace and open up more air traffic duties to private enterprise.

French officials confirmed that some 1,800

flights were cancelled for a second day on Wednesday.

It was originally rumoured that the whole of Europe would take part but it seems just France participated.

The British Airways website showed 16 cancellations on Wednesday morning.

An easyJet spokesman said: “We are notifying passengers by email, text message and on the website. We recommend passengers visit www.easyJet. com to check the status of their flight.

“Passengers on cancelled flights are able to receive a refund or transfer to another

flight.” Flights across the UK suffered disruption.

Flights to Tenerife were disrupted with the early morning Ryanair flights to East Midlands and Birmingham cancelled.

Other flights out of UK major airports were disrupted, many suffering a few hours delay. This then had knock-on effects as due to the delays crews were over their flying hours.

BA said in a statement: “French Air Traffic Control have amended their announced industrial action dates.

“Due to airspace restrictions in and

around France, there may also be delays for services to and from Spain and North Africa.

Airline passengers travelling elsewhere in Europe were warned to expect delays of up to four hours.

French airports including Charles de Gaulle, Orly, Lyon, Nice, Marseille, Toulouse and Bordeaux were all affected.

Travel group Abta criticised the industrial action and said that passengers whose flights were cancelled would be entitled to a refund or a replacement flight and should contact their airline.

Hearse towed away A hearse was towed away by Local Police in La Laguna this week.

A bit unusual, but it was illegally parked

at the court building, whilst the undertaker was inside arranging permits for the incineration of a body – that was still inside of the hearse!

Local Police did try

and find the driver, but were unaware that there was a body inside.

After 90 minutes the vehicle was towed away, which proved difficult due to its irregular

shape and size. When the driver realised what had happened he raised the alarm, he was given the hearse back but he still had to pay the fine of 107 euros!

Illegal tobacco plant smoked out AN illegal cigarette factory in Spain, discovered by police, is believed to have been producing enough tobacco for 1.5 million packets a month.

IKEA Punto The sign is going up on the new IKEA store in Las Chafiras as we go to print, located on the same block as Textile Sur and the large Las Chafiras store.

It looks as if the onelevel warehouse is going to be a ‘Punto’

similar to that on the smaller islands such as La Palma.

The amount of readyto-assemble furniture is limited due to space constraints, but with good marketing and ordering you can see what’s on offer.

Hopefully, they will have the market area and normally there is no café. The company is the world’s

largest furniture retailer.

The IKEA website contains about 12,000 products and is the closest representation of the entire IKEA range. IKEA is the world’s third-largest consumer of wood, behind retailers Home Depot and Lowe’s.

IKEA's press office was unable to provide a comment.

It is the first plant of its kind in the country, and the tobacco was being manufactured behind closed doors in a Madrid warehouse.

Police, who found 16.5 tonnes of cut tobacco in the warehouse, arrested four Polish nationals, a Spaniard and a Ukraine man.

The cigarettes will, ultimately, have been sold on the black market for about two euros less than the cost of a legitimate packet.

Contraband cigarettes and loose tobacco are nothing new in Spain, but this is the first time they have been found to have been manufactured in the country, say

Customs and Revenue officers.

Until now, illegallyproduced tobacco always came from abroad, the main countries involved being Egypt, Vietnam, China, Turkey, the Ukraine and the United Arab Emirates.

A total of 54 illegal tobacco factories in Europe have been uncovered in recent months in the Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, Lithuania and The Netherlands, and also in the Ukraine and Russia.

Customs officials believe it is “impossible” to penetrate the legal market with contraband cigarettes, which means they are being sold underground.

Factories are usually set up in areas close to large towns or cities to ensure a captive market, but the people behind them move around regularly to avoid discovery.

Contraband tobacco sales are on the rise, say officials, because of the rising cost of legal cigarettes and fall in income of those who smoke them - and the ease with which operators can find and rent warehouses.

Customs say the people running Spain’s first illegal tobacco factory, in a Madrid suburb, have avoided paying tax on cigarettes of up to three million euros a month.

Island's ‘weak’ Social Services THE Canary Islands are included in the worse four regions for Social Services in Spain, along with Valencia, Madrid and Murcia.

Research for this year’s Rights, Economy and Cover (DEC) Index was conducted by the State Association of Social Service Managers.

It issued a damning indictment of the regions, saying: “The level of development of the system is irrelevant. It

is also weak, outdated and with negative perspectives throughout Spain as a whole.

Association leader José Manuel Ramírez, referring to the bottom four areas, said: “You might as well say these regions have the poorest-quality Social Services in the whole of Europe.”

Overall, based upon quality criteria, the 2013 DEC Index graded the Spanish Social Services with 49.2%, representing a clear failure because of public-funding cutbacks rather than general incompetence.

In four years, a total

14th June - 20th June 2013

of nearly half-a-billion euros has been cut from the State Social Services budget.

Factors such as expenditure per head and the breadth of service provided for each region were used to evaluate the system.

Valencia came out with a poor 6% (0.6 out of 10) which was way below the Canaries’ 20% (2 out of 10). Madrid and Murcia scored just 2.75 and 2.8.

Other regions where the Association considered the system “irrelevant” included Galicia (3.65) and Andalucía (4.4).

Health Minister Mato under fire THE future of Spain’s Health Minister, Ana Mato appears uncertain as yet another opposition party has called for her dismissal.

United Left (Izquierda Unida) has echoed the request by Socialists for Mato to be axed after she was found to be linked to the infamous Gürtel bribery and corruption case.

Papers presented to the judge handling the case showed that the ringleader of the corruption racket had paid for Louis Vuitton accessories, holidays, and birthday parties for Mato’s children.

She claimed that this was all through her ex-

husband and father of the children, Jesús Sepúlveda, former PP mayor of Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid).

The IU, at the instigation of Gaspar Llamazares, regional MP for Asturias, also wants Mato out because of her radical reforms to the Health Service.

These have led to inflated prescription prices and the elderly and disabled having to pay for their drugs.

Also, those who do not pay Social Security and, in particular, immigrants without a valid residence card are being denied State healthcare.

Llamazares refers to the “ethical and political credibility” of Mato and her “unilateral decision" to replace the universal right to health-

care with one of health insurance similar to the system employed in America.

Mato admitted, obliquely, at a recent conference with medical associations that the Health Service cutbacks were putting lives and health at risk.

She is also under fire for plans to privatise the health service in Madrid, with Ribera Salud, which runs the district hospital in Alzira (Valencia), already showing interest in buying some of the region’s hospitals.

Huge street protests, have taken place in and around the capital as medics and patients alike fear medical care will become a profitmaking concern for directors, putting patients’ welfare at risk.

Extra paella's big stir!

Weather Outlook

A BRITISH couple found themselves locked up for the night and having to fork out £786 following a restaurant row over a meal that never was!

Geoff Cox and partner Bridget Keyes were enjoying a last-night holiday meal in Granada, Spain. But when they received the bill, they spotted that a £12.79 paella had been added. They argued with a waiter, who then called the police when the couple refused to cough up the extra cash.

The pair, from Newdigate, Surrey, were arrested and jailed for the night without food or water. Police dropped the charges the next day, but Geoff was made

to pay fines and expenses totalling £786. The retired salesman said: “I’m furious. I’m an or-

dinary, respectable citizen who has never had trouble with the police.

It’s an outrage!”

Ferry brave show A SUSPECTED illegal immigrant displayed desperation or courage beyond the call of duty when he clung on to the roaring engine of a catamaran ferry.

He was arrested by Spanish police, who showed dramatic footage of the barefooted, shirtless man positioned dangerously over the ferry’s thrashing propeller.

Page 8

The 48-year-old Algerian daredevil was detained immediately after being spotted on board the passenger boat from Tangier, Morocco, as it arrived in Tarifa.

Authorities believe he intended to leap off the ferry and swim to shore once the vessel neared the Spanish coast, before scaling the perimeter fence at a border

post. He was arrested for breaching the Immigration Act by attempting to enter the country via an unauthorised access point.

This year, 61 people have already been caught in similar incidents in Tarifa, a port in southern Spain one of several wouldbe entry points in the country for illegal immigrants.

Zoo experts defend their right to care for animals AROUND 90 experts from Spain and Portugal gathered at the Hotel Botánico in Puerto de la Cruz last Friday to raise the curtain on the 25th annual Congress of the Iberian Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AIZA).

Loro Parque was the host centre and the opening ceremony, held in the hotel gardens, was attended

by Guacimara Medina Pérez, Canary Islands Environment Minister, AIZA President Miquel Trepat, Loro Parque President Wolfgang Kiessling and Loro Parque Fundación Director David Waugh.

Throughout the week at Lora Parque, ex-

perts from various zoos in both countries discussed new trends on management and animal welfare under the care of humans.

They also debated veterinary aspects, as well as educational and research programmes, which are key factors listed in the rules regulating this sector.

And, as Loro Parque is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year,

AIZA felt it appropriate to select the Tenerife attraction to stage the Congress.

The international zoo community is currently the subject of smear campaigns by small environmental organisations, which are critical of the management of some zoos.

But AIZA officials drew attention to the fact that, under the pressure of over-pop-

ulation on the planet, and the destruction of nature and the animals’ natural habitats, modern zoos actually welcome more than 600 million visitors annually.

That speaks volumes for the public’s conception of registered animal centres, such as we have in Tenerife.

Members also spoke about the importance of events like this Con-

gress, in which responsible companies, happy to comply with the rules, come together to consolidate the work and effort in defence of the animals.

The Iberian Association of Zoos and Aquariums is a non-profit making entity which brings together the principal zoological parks and aquariums of Spain and Portugal.

Spanish Embassies could be vital link for jobless abroad THE Spanish Government’s opposition party, PSOE, believes the country’s overseas Embassies could provide a lifeline for people forced to look abroad for work.

Thousands upon thousands of jobless, mainly youngsters from the

Page 10

mainland or the Canaries who have never seen a wage packet, should be helped by these Embassies.

And don’t forget that among these people, there will be those classified as Canarian or Spanish because their British mums or dads married Spaniards.

Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, the PSOE leader, says the mass exodus has reached similar

proportions to those of the Fifties and Sixties, when millions of Spaniards moved to Latin America and France to work in fields and factories, returning home for just two weeks’ holiday a year.

Consequently, many of today’s Spaniards have French and Latin American relatives, descended from migrating Spanish workers.

The PSOE says the cur-

rent situation is not just affecting the most highly-qualified among the long-term unemployed.

It is now being highlighted by those who left school with no qualifications 10-15 years ago to work in the booming construction industry.

That market, the country’s main business sector, crumbled drastically with the arrival of the recession, and those who fell by the wayside

as a result have no hope of finding jobs again unless the housing market picks up miraculously.

The PSOE feels embassies and consulates should be actively encouraged to help find jobs for Spaniards abroad, and help with the necessary paperwork to enable them to chase advertised jobs.

But recent reports suggest that red tape is

preventing the migrants from succeeding, at least in Germany where there are thousands of jobs available for the highly-qualified.

Jobs there require fluency in German and, that apart, many newlyarrived Spaniards -who were probably taught French and English at school - are having trouble even getting their qualifications recognised there.

Kate’s smashing finale THE Duchess of Cambridge, now in her final weeks of pregnancy, has completed her last solo public engagement before giving birth next month.

Kate attended a shipnaming ceremony yesterday (Thursday) in Southampton, where she became godmother of the Royal Princess after smashing a bottle into its hull. ”I name this ship Royal Princess; may God bless her and all who sail in her,” she said, before cutting the rope, She was cheered as the outsize bottle of champagne was then released and flew into the ves-

sel. The Duchess then boarded the ship for a brief tour. The royal mum-to-be, wearing a black-and-white coat, arrived in Southampton by helicopter from London and went on

stage in blustery conditions. Guests included people associated with charities of which Kate, Prince William and Prince Harry are patrons.

The Band of her Majes-

ty’s Royal Marines Portsmouth, accompanied by the Pipers of the 1st Battalion Irish Guards, lent a military flavour to the start of the ceremony.

They lined Kate’s route to her seat after playing

tunes such as Pomp And Circumstance, sea shanties and a march called HMS Queen Elizabeth.

The musical celebrations also featured pop singer Natasha Bedingfield, who sang her hit

Unwritten.

Although it was the 31-year-old royal’s last solo engagement, she is set to attend Saturday’s Trooping the Colour.

A key figure missing from the ceremony, which sees the trooping of the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards’ colours, will be the Duke of Edinburgh, who remains in hospital following an exploratory operation last Friday.

The 3,600-passenger ship Royal Princess includes an over-water “sea walk” and a topdeck, glass-bottomed walkway, which extends 28ft beyond the edge of the ship. The vessel, which makes her maiden voyage on Sunday, also boasts the largest pastry shop at sea, as well as poolside cabanas.

Brits unaware of medical costs abroad Many Brits are unaware of the costs of medical treatment abroad and may be putting themselves at risk of sky-high medical bills by travelling uninsured, according to new research by ABTA – the Travel Association.

As part of the ‘Know Before You Go’ campaign, ABTA – The Travel Association and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) are urging holidaymakers to “pack their policy” this summer.

A quarter of Brits (24%) now travel abroad without insurance, despite the need for medical assistance to be relatively common. According to ABTA research 1 in 5 (19%) Brits has vis-

Page 12

ited a doctor or hospital abroad.

Most at risk are younger travellers as almost half (48%) holiday abroad without taking insurance.

Furthermore, FCO research has also found that 4 out of 5 (82%) young people admit to taking part in more adventurous behaviour on holiday – yet fewer than half (45%) check that their insurance covers risky pursuits.

Almost half of Brits (47%) mistakenly believe it would cost £5,000 or less to treat a broken leg in the USA despite the actual figure being more than eight times than that, costing approximately £40,000.

This lack of awareness

of the true costs of medical treatment may be to blame for the alarmingly high numbers travelling uninsured.

Why get insurance?

Many British holidaymakers also fail to understand the importance of insurance; 16% mistakenly believe that travel insurance is unnecessary as the UK Government will pay for their treatment if they become ill abroad.

In addition, 17% of travellers (and a third (33%) of 15-24 year olds) wrongly assume that when travelling in Europe, they don’t need insurance because they have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), but this only provides

access to basic state medical care and does not cover the costs of repatriation to the UK, whether by regular flight or air ambulance which can cost £16,000 from popular tourist areas such as the Canary Islands.

What’s the cost?

The perceived high cost of policies is likely to be a determining factor in this choice to travel uninsured. The number of travellers who think insurance is too expensive has increased sharply; nearly a third (31%) of consumers cited this as a reason for not taking out insurance in 2012, compared to one in five (20%) in 2011.

However, consumers

pay an average of £24 for annual travel insurance, a similar price to what they are happy to spend on unplanned purchases at the airport where 16% spent £25 or more on lastminute items including cosmetics and toiletries, electronics, newspapers, maga-zines, books and snacks.

Mark Tanzer, ABTA Chief Executive, said: “With the peak holiday season coming up and British tourists heading abroad, we urge holidaymakers to think about travel insurance and to pack their policy.

"Unfortunately, ac-cidents can and do happen and sometimes these accidents can lead to costly medical

bills. It is just not worth taking the risk, when an average annual travel insurance policy costs less than £25.”

Foreign and Commonwealth Office Minister, Mark Simmonds said: “Many people travel abroad without insurance and that means if they are injured or fall ill it could be very expensive, it could even be a matter of life and death.

Many don’t realise that the Government will not pay their medical bills abroad or pay for repatriation. I strongly urge everyone to take out comprehensive travel insurance so they can enjoy their holiday without risking their health or their savings.”

Dad’s bust-up over a £1.75 school meal AN angry father has withdrawn his two children from a Devon primary school following a row over £1.75.

Gary Lynn’s son, Jacob, was refused lunch after queuing up because the family owed the money on an online school account, leaving the 11-year-old in tears.

Mr Lynn, 42, who is now looking for an alternative school for the kids, has also resigned as a governor at Hayes Primary School, in Paignton, accused the school of “physical and emotional neglect, reminiscent of Oliver Twist”.

The school claims Mr Lynn was sent three

reminders about the shortfall and warned that his son would not be fed if the debt were not covered.

But Mr Lynn, a leisure industry manager, is adamant he received no notification.

“I hold my hand up,” he said. “I usually put £10 on at a time.

That’s my fault, but for them to take that course of action with my son seems incredible.”

He added: “One of the mealtime assistants brought him over an apple because she felt sorry for him. But I was outraged. I hadn’t had any teacher come to tell me there was an issue. I found it horrific.”

Sean Hindle, business manager at the academy-status

school, said: “The kitchen was abiding by school rules.

“Parents are normally phoned to let them know that their account doesn’t have any money, and that their child won’t get a lunch that day unless the account is credited.”

The school said in a statement that it regretted the distress caused by the incident, adding: “The rule was introduced to prevent significant numbers of previous occurrences of late payments and bad debts on school meals.”

The school also said it was “disappointed that it has been portrayed by this parent to have been fully responsible for withholding the meal”.

A toy passport?

That’ll do nicely!

A GIRL of nine accidently got past Turkish customs officers with a toy passport - identifying her as a unicorn!

Emily Harris, from Cwmbran, South Wales, had taken the passport she had made for her pink toy unicorn on holiday with her.

When the family passed through customs at Antalya airport to start their one-week holiday, Emily’s mother, Nicky,

handed over the toy’s passport by mistake.

However, the parents were shocked when they later realised their mistake, discovering that officials had even stamped the unicorn’s passport.

“It is quite obviously a fake, said Nicky, pointing out that it was a completely different size and shape to the official document, with gold teddy bears on the front.

“The man even asked Emily how old she was before he stamped it, The picture ID wasn’t even of Emily - it was of a pink unicorn!”

Nicky added: “We saw the funny side, and laughed at the fact that the officer had even stamped the passport.

“But at the same time, it’s a worry to any parent just how easy it would be to smuggle a child through customs and into another country.”

GCSEs: Tough tests ahead!

MICHAEL GOVE, the British Government’s Education Secretary, has announced a major overhaul to the current GCSE exams in England.

The Minister told MPs on Wednesday that the new tests, to be enforced from September 2015, would be “more ambitious and more rigorous”.

The biggest shakeup of schools in a generation will put a new emphasis on tougher testing for 16-year-olds, with less coursework and more focus on exams at the end of twoyear courses.

Teenagers will have to study more Dickens, poetry, algebra, genetics and ecology to achieve the best grades, bringing an end to ‘discredited’ qualifications.

Mr Gove told the Commons: “Young people in this country deserve an education system that can compete with the best in the world - a system which sets, and achieves, high expectations.”

He added: “Today’s reforms are essential to achieve this goal. By making GCSEs more demanding, more fulfilling, and more stretching, we can give our

young people the broad, deep and balanced education which will equip them to win in the global race.”

Pupils in England will start studying in September 2015 for new GCSEs in English language, English literature, maths, biology, chemistry, physics, combined science, geography and history.

They are scheduled sit the first exams in the summer of 2017.

In English literature, pupils will be asked to study at least one play

by Shakespeare, Romantic poetry, a 19th century novel, poetry from the 1850s onwards, and fiction or drama since the First World War, according to documents published by the Department for Education.

The new maths GCSE features advanced algebra, statistics, ratio, probability and geometry, while those students who choose to take geography will undertake two types of fieldwork, which will be assessed in an exam.

And in history, pupils will have to complete an in-depth study based on one of three periods: Medieval (500-1500), Early Modern (14501750) or Modern (1700 to present day).

The new GCSE history course also contains no controlled assessment coursework completed

in the classroom - with exams based on extended essays and short answers.

New science GCSEs contain practical experiments and extended work on topics such as genetics, ecology, energy and space.

Mr Gove said the changes mean: *More extended writing in subjects like English and history; more testing of advanced, problem-solving skills

in mathematics and science; more testing of mathematics in science GCSEs, to improve progression to A-Levels. *More challenging mechanics problems in physics; a stronger focus on evolution and genetics in biology; and a greater focus on foreign language composition, so that pupils require deeper language skills.

“This higher level of demand will equip our children to go on to

Consumers given power at last

BRITONS are to be given more ammunition to protect them from cowboy tradesmen and hidden costs.

The Government is publishing draft proposals for a Consumer Rights Bill to enable consumers to enforce verbal agreements they make with everyone, from builders to hairdressers.

They are designed to give better protection against sub-standard work and also to allow people to claim recompense after a failed repair or replacement.

The proposals would even safeguard online

Page 14

downloads, giving gamers and film buffs the right to a repair or replacement of faulty digital content.

Consumers spend more than 59 million hours a year dealing with goods and services problems. And Consumer Minister Jo Swinson says the Consumer Rights Bill will streamline overlapping areas.

It also proposes a 30-day time period in which consumers can return faulty goods and get a full refund.

Ms Swinson said the rules about buying goods and services had been “murky” for too long, and confused consumers and businesses.

“We want to make

sure consumers are confident about their rights in everyday situations, be it their washing machine breaking down or an online game they purchased always crashing,” she said.

“This will also benefit businesses as they will spend less time working out their legal obligations when they get complaints from customers.”

Richard Lloyd, executive director of consumer campaigning magazine Which? welcomed the changes, saying: “It will bring consumer law into the 21st century at last.”

Citizens Advice chief executive Gillian Guy also hailed the

proposals, but called for regulators to “name and shame” companies which failed to correct bad practice.

“Streamlining existing rules won’t be enough without urgent, strong, new tools for customers to get fair treatment,” she said.

Ms Guy said customers should also be able to claim compensation collectively, giving them strength in numbers regarding problems, Helen Dickinson, British Retail Consortium director general added: “Reputable retailers usually solve problems without the need for legal intervention, but this Bill helps to clarify the law.”

higher education or a good apprenticeship,” he said.

“And we can raise the bar, knowing that we have the best generation of teachers ever in our schools to help students achieve more than ever before.”

The Government claims increases in GCSE pass rates show the exams have been getting easier and reform is needed It believes a return to traditional academic subjects, and the slashing of coursework and resits, will “restore rigour” to the education system.

Education Minister Liz Truss claimed rising results every summer had disguised the fact that exams were getting easier in a “race to the bottom” by exam boards.

She added: “We cannot carry on with a system that isn’t delivering, where there has been rampant grade inflation and where international league tables tell us we have stagnated compared with the rest of the world.

“For too long, we have pretended that students’ results are getting better, whereas, actually, exams have been getting easier.”

Shadow Education Secretary Stephen Twigg raised concerns about results depend-

ing on end-of-year exams, saying: “Moving towards linear assessment will reduce the reliability of GCSE. “Less coursework means less assessment time, which leads, inevitably, to lower reliability. This is about as cast-iron a rule in assessment as there is.”

Christine Blower, from the National Union of Teachers, said: “We think this is slightly rushed and demeans the achievements of students who have taken GCSEs in the past.”

She also stressed: “Just because more children are successful does not mean that exams are getting easier.”

Exams watchdog Ofqual will consult on a new grading scale based on numbers one to eight, with eight the top grade.

There will be fewer awards, to reflect the harder content, and greater differentiation among more able candidates.

Education Department sources said coursework and “controlled assessment” - a kind of supervised coursework, which now accounts for 25% of the final mark - had been “very badly abused” and would be replaced almost entirely with written exams.

The Ecobooster!

THE Ford 1.0 EcoBoost engine has won the 2013 International Engine of the Year award for the second year running.

The three-cylinder engine, currently fitted to the Focus, Fiesta, B-MAX, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX was selected by a panel of 87 automotive journalists from 35 countries around the world. And it achieved the high-

est overall score in the awards’ 15-year history.

Former winners of the prestigious gong, which grades engines for driveability, performance, economy and refinement, include the Fiat 0.9 TwinAir unit and Mazda’s 1.3 rotary

engine from the RX-8.

But Ford are only the third manufacturer to win the trophy in successive years in a row.

The 1.0 EcoBoost, designed and engineered at Ford’s R&D centres in Dunton and Dagenham, but assembled

in Cologne, has been a runaway success since it was first fitted to the Focus last year. And in response to swelling demand, production will be doubled, beginning in mid-August, to more than 1,000 engines a day.

Producing up to 123bhp

and returning as much as 65.7mpg (in the Fiesta), the 1.0 EcoBoost is crucial to Ford’s expansion plans.

The company are hoping to sell 480,000 EcoBoost engines by 2015 - 300,000 of which will be the 1.0 EcoBoost.

Termites almost terminate on old lady’s savings...

WOOD-EATING termites in Southern China have chewed their way through an elderly lady’s £42,000 savings The cash was given to the woman by her children six months ago.

But, instead of putting the money in a bank, she wrapped it up in a plastic bag and stored it in a wooden drawer in her house.

The unlucky lady, realised her cash had been left in bits - as

was she - in April when she opened the drawer to get some money to pay for decorating work.

Fortunately, she did the only sensible thing possible, taking the damaged banknotes to a local bank in the hope that they could retrieve them.

After several scans and comparisons, the bank was able to verify around £35,000, leaving the grateful pensioner just 15% down on her savings.

Baggs of money for water chief THE biggest water company in Britain really did cash in last year, though some disgusted customers had their homes flooded by sewage.

Thames Water paid no Corporation Tax and received £5m credit from the Treasury during a year in which revenues rose to £1.8bn.

The firm made £549m in underlying pre-tax profits as it raised bills by an inflation-busting 6.7%.

Yet chief executive Martin Baggs still received a pay rise to £450,000, plus a £274,000 bonus. And next month, he will almost certainly collect a further £366,000 as part of a long-term incentive plan.

However, following surveys by regulator Ofwat, which showed customer satisfaction had fallen, Mr Baggs admitted: “We have not always provided the best service to our customers.”

The water company put the blame down to the introduction of a new IT system, together with the impact of heavy rainfall.

During the year, nine million customers in London and the Thames Valley faced water restrictions, while repeat sewerflooding incidents increased from 355 to 549, again blamed on the weather.

Thames Water is owned by Kemble Water Holdings, whose main investors are ultimately controlled by the Australianbased Macquarie Group.

Macquarie has long sought an investment strategy where monopolies are held - and, unlike gas and

Page 16

electricity providers, competition is limited for UK households for water.

Thames Water told Sky News in a statement: “We have not paid much Corporation Tax in recent years because the Government’s tax system allows us to delay, not avoid, payment of tax based on how much we invest.

“Because we are investing £1bn a year from 2010 to 2015, more than any water firm in UK history, we are able to defer a lot of tax payments to future years.”

The figures come in the wake of criticism

by Ofwat chairman Jonson Cox, that the high profits and taxreducing corporate structures of some water companies were “morally questionable”.

Thames says its taxable profits are reduced by allowances on its £1bn-ayear investment programme, while

remaining gains are offset by tax losses claimed from other members of the group.

It also said the combined bill for business rates and employee income tax and national insurance and other taxes was £150m, while spending with suppliers and contractors boosted the wider economy.

Mr Cox questioned the use by some water companies of structures to reduce their tax liabilities.

Thames Water said dividends for the year had been cut from

£280m to £231m, with no payout to Kemble shareholders for the second part of the year.

Much of Thames Water’s income was spent on servicing huge debts, with interest payments of over £400m over the year as borrowings increased from £7.8bn to £8.4bn.

Revenues at the utility giant, which serves 14 million customers, rose 5.7% from £1.7bn to £1.8bn. It reflected a 6.7% rise in regulated bills, though metered consumption was £9.5m lower.

In the current financial

year, customers will face another inflation-busting 5.5% rise which, said the company, was as a result of investment in infrastructure and services.

Thames Water, which experienced leakage of 646 million litres a day - up from 637 million - blamed it on the colder weather, though the firm met targets on repairs and replacement of old pipes.

Mr Baggs said: “Over the past financial year, exceptional weather conditions

have presented tough challenges for the business.

“The period began with a drought, following the driest two-year period on record, and ended with widespread flooding after becoming England’s rainiest 12 months on record.

“Despite these challenges we have, for the third year running, carried out a further £1bn of improvements to our networks, while the average household bill in our region is the second-lowest in the country.”

Stars against nuclear weapons A GROUP of Hollywood stars have joined forces for a video calling on world leaders to rid the planet of nuclear weapons.

Michael Douglas helped recruit such luminaries as Robert De Niro, Morgan Free-

man and Matt Damon for the two-minute film, released by campaign group Global Zero.

The celebrities, who also include Alex Baldwin, Danny DeVito and Martin Sheen, urge US Presi-

dent Barack Obama to bring about further cuts to the stockpiles of Cold War weapons.

The video has been released to coincide with the G-8 Summit in Northern Ireland, where Mr Obama is

expected to discuss nuclear arms with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Global Zero is an international organisation, launched in 2008 to try to eliminate and secure all nuclear weapons.

Lion-hearted Lions SAN MIGUEL Lions Club members arrange “Holidays of a Lifetime” every year for underprivileged children, old folk and, of course, their carers.

They put a tremendous amount of effort into raising money from various events to fund the annual venture, and they neither want nor ask for thanks at the end of what is always a memorable trip.

The smiles on the faces of everyone each day is reward enough for them. But last month’s holiday really was special for carer Sophie Guest, her 79-year-old grandmother Margaret, whom she looks after, and her fiancé John, who helps out with the caring.

Sophie was moved by the kindness of everyone concerned with the trip, even before it had begun, and she began compiling a diary, complete with pictures, as a keepsake.

So delighted was she with the outcome that she has decided to share it with Canarian Weekly readers – and it needs no other explanation.

Sophie, aged 19, wrote: Thanks to the carers’ centre in Blackpool & the Lions club for giving us the opportunity to enjoy the holiday of a lifetime!

Our plane journey was great and the Jet2 staff were fab. They made sure we were comfy and happy and helped with everything.

And our Tenerife holiday was incredible, thanks to the San Miguel Lions Club.

The hotel we stayed in was amazing. We had 2 beautiful rooms with amazing views, and the staff there were so friendly and helpful.

The food was superb, especially the bread rolls and all the puddings, and we had so much to choose from.

They make incredible paella – it’s just WOW! We had different entertainment every night: quizzes, karaoke, dancers and a fab doggie show. It was so good, and the dogs were so talented.

The hotel’s entertainment team were also very good and they always had everyone up and involved.

The three trips we went on, all arranged by the Lions, gave us memories to last a lifetime.

Our first trip was to the Monkey Park, and it was so good to be able to get up close and be able to touch the animals.

It was even funnier when a very cheeky little monkey took a liking to Nanna’s wheelchair, and it took 10 minutes to eventually get him out from underneath!

Our second trip was to the Aqua Park, which proved to be such a good day out.

We got very wet on all the rides, but the best part was the dolphin show and my meeting with a dolphin, which was one of the best experiences of my life.

Our third trip was to Loro Parque. I have been to a lot of zoos, but this one is my official favourite so far. We had an amazing day, and we got to see so many animals and watched lots of shows.

I can’t thank San Miguel Lions enough.

They are incredible, amazing people and they deserve a massive trophy for all that they do.

They make you feel welcome, and they always have miles of smiles for everyone.

14th June - 20th June 2013

They made it one of the best years of my life, and my Nanna loved every minute.

She didn’t want to come home - and for John and me, it made our first holiday together incredible!

To everyone involved in making our trip so very special: “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Ralph Solomon, the outgoing San Miguel Lions’ President who is also Social Secretary said: “It was such a surprise to receive Sophie’s email.

“We run this holiday project every May and, over the years, we have had children and some pensioners from Warrington and Blackpool a couple of times each.

“We collect them from the airport and deliver them back safely. And during their week here, we do our best to give them a wonderful time.”

He added: “During these holidays, you can see the change in the kids and carers, who do get forgotten sometimes.

“And I do believe it changes us and our outlook on life. To be involved during the week as one big family is the object - to give them the feeling of being involved.

“But none of this would be possible for just us Lions to do. We have such great support from lots of people - far too many to mention – including volunteers, who work in our charity shop and the staff and owners of such tourist attractions as Loro Parque.”

because the situation here on the Island is reaching crisis point.

An email sent to Accion by Pat Scudder and Kate Williams (pictured), who have adopted one its many puppies, gave all the staff a big lift.

They wrote: “After arriving at the refuge on Sunday of last

week, we really couldn’t believe how wellorganised and clean everything was.

“When Sammy came out of the kennel with all the other puppies, we both fell in love with him in a heartbeat. He was the only dog not yapping because he just wanted some cuddles.

“We couldn’t resist, and we were almost camping outside the refuge the following day as we were not allowed to take him on the Sunday.

“He has settled in very well, although the cats have had their noses put out of joint as Sammy takes the bedroom space over them.

“He is walking on his lead and doing his business on paper. We can’t believe how much

we love him already.

The refuge staff were just brilliant. Marion Gonzalez, the Accion del Sol director, gave us his lead, and he is chipped with all his vaccinations done.

“We left a donation, and we can go back and have him castrated free of charge. “Very, very impressed with Accion del Sol. We really hope there are other petlovers out there who will give a doggy a good home. Thank you.”

adopt a puppy or a fullygrown dog, come along to the Granadilla-based refuge, by the windmills off the TF-1, which is open Monday-Friday (36pm), or call 922 778 630 for more information.

Thomas Cook click on hotspots Thomas Cook has launched a Facebook-exclusive competition that will offer UK residents the chance to win a range of fabulous holidays prizes simply by memorising selected objects featured in the company’s new TV spots.

The Holiday Hot Spot app will offer customers the chance to win three different prizes

based on the three themed adverts featuring TV and Film favourite James Nesbitt – couples (Room), family (Trunks) and foreign exchange (Exchange).

Fans to the Facebook page will be invited to watch each of the ads closely before being taken to a dedicated competition page, where they will prompted to identify three items that featured in the ad from a multiple choice of objects.

Those who correctly click on the right items – such as ice cream, a sun hat or a brochure – will be entered into

a prize draw, with a £1,500 couples holiday, £2,500 family holiday or £1,000 worth of foreign currency up for grabs.

Competition entrants are advised to be observant, as they can only enter to win each prize once… Although some might choose to enter all three for triple the chances of winning!

Mike Hoban, Sales, Marketing & Ecommerce Director, Thomas Cook UK & Ireland, said “Our new Facebook-exclusive competition is set to bring the adverts to life in a fun way, keeping our

customers engaged with the new campaign, while they try to win some fantastic prizes along the way.”

From highlighting family holidays in Aquamania Resorts (Trunks), online hotel previews and Tripadvisor reviews on Thomascook.com (Room) and Thomas Cook’s travel money offering (Exchange) - without forgetting a friendly and knowledgeable Thomas Cook Rep in all three executions - the ads are fun, playful and vibrant, with each tongue-incheek spot building on a story that customers

will be able to relate to.

Continues Mike: “The experience of buying a holiday should be enjoyable from the moment our customers pick up a brochure, visit us online or give us a call – and Holiday Hot Spot is in keeping with the fun and humorous nature of the new ads.”

Easyjet passenger numbers soar THE number of passengers flying easyJet annually has doubled since November 2005 Amsterdam, Malaga and Barcelona have been the most popular destinations for travellers.

EasyJet have announced that it has reached the milestone of more than 60m passengers who have flown with the airline in the past 12 months to 31 May. When easyJet was founded in November

Page 20

1995, the airline first took to the skies with just two aircraft flying between two domestic UK destinations.

Eighteen years on, the airline now operates 212 aircraft flying to 137 airports in 33 countries spanning Europe and North Africa.

Carolyn McCall, easyJet’s CEO, said: “We are proud to be celebrating this landmark achievement of flying over 60m passengers across our network for the first time in one year.

“It’s testament to the hard work and dedication of everybody at easyJet. “Our success lies in the fact that we provide low

fares and friendly service on modern, punctual aircraft across a network that offers a choice of over 600 routes.”

More than 100 of easyJet’s 800 Luton based staff gathered outside the airline’s Hangar 89 head office at London Luton Airport to mark the 60 million milestone and celebrate the airline’s continued success and popularity.

The growth and success of the airline has been exponential reaching 10 million passengers carried for the first time in one year in July 2001- just six years after easyJet’s inaugural flight. easyJet has since

continued to report an increase in passenger numbers year on year reaching 20 million for the first time in August 2003 rising to 30 million

by November 2005 and then doubling again to its May 2013 level of over 60 million, for the first time.

Of the 60,048,534 passengers who’ve booked with easyJet in the last year, many Brits are using the airline’s easy and affordable services when flying to European holiday and leisure destinations. Alicante, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Geneva and Malaga are firm favourites with just under seven million passengers flying in and out of these destinations alone. Spain remains popular for Brits with over 8.5 million seats available on easyJet flights.

Over 10 million of the airline’s total passengers this year have flown easyJet on business – proving that the strength of its network which sees it flying on more of Europe’s top 100 routes than any other carrier has enabled easyJet to attract more customers who are flying on business. easyJet’s

industry leading on time performance and products like flexiFare, allocated seating and easyJetPlus card have

also been designed with easyJet’s business customers in mind to offer maximum flexibility and choice.

Spain still top for Brits There is still a positive trend in Brits choosing the self-catering holiday in Spain and the islands, due to its fairly short distance, affordable accommodation, and range of relaxing beaches.

Easy access also helps the popularity of Spain because local airports provide affordable solutions and quick getaways.

During the busy summer period, Spain has been said to receive many visitors because most Brits want an affordable, relaxing holiday somewhere in the sun for a week or two.

The cities effectively draw a range of tourists, especially those taking advantage of cheap flights to Barcelona, which boasts an interesting mixture of sun, fun, and culture. It is of-

ten argued to be one of the most unique cities within Europe. There have also been reports that Spanish cuisine is also one of the attractive features of the country, and British food lovers have long enjoyed the local delicacies, as well as the wine. Selfcatering is reported to be the most popular choice for these tourists, so that they immerse themselves in the local culture as much as they can. Another reason for the popularity of Spain is said to be the range of events on offer to tourists who visit every year.

With annual events that attract a number of visitors each year, there are also unique exhibitions for those who want to experience both the sandy beaches and more of the culture too.

Granada Studios move five streets Saturday 15 June, ITV1, 20.30

14th June - 20th June 2013

Granada Studios has dominated the Manchester skyline for the past 56 years – a beacon to the very best in British television. The first television complex to be built in the UK and home to some of the greatest television programmes of all time.

Now, after over half a century, the building will close as ITV moves to its new home in Salford’s Media City. It’s time to switch off the lights with Granada’s biggest fan, Peter Kay, as he goes behind-the-scenes at the iconic Granada building on Manchester’s Quay Street.

Using archive clips of some of the wellloved and acclaimed programmes filmed and produced there from Coronation Street, Prime Suspect, Jewel In the Crown and Stars In Their Eyes, to landmark musical performances including the television debuts of The Sex Pistols, Happy Mondays, Take That and the Beatles – audiences will be taken on a nostalgic and heart warming journey spanning seven decades of programmemaking. Granada has given debuts to some of the comedy giants of the past 56 years, from Woody Allen making his only ever UK standup appearance in 1965, through to the broad appeal sitcoms and sketches of the 70s, to the 80s alternative scene and biggest names of the 90s. The strong backing of new generations of

northern comedians meant Granada programming enjoyed the talents of comedy legends such as Frank Carson, Victoria Wood and Julie Walters, Steve Coogan, Caroline Aherne and John Thompson.

Pop stars, movie stars, sporting heroes and royalty have all passed through Granada’s gates over the decades and this landmark show brings some of the studios’ most momentous and iconic stories to life.

Peter Kay said: “For me Granada television had always felt like the factory in Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.

Nobody really knows what goes on inside and nor should they as that’s the magic, but tonight we finally shine daylight upon the magic of Granada one last time and bid farewell to a magnificent era.”

The documentary tracks the story of Granada from its inception in 1954, including rare

archive footage of its co-founders – brothers and entertainment moguls Sidney and Cecil Bernstein, who set out their ambitious vision for the company from the outset: “We still want the best, what’s good enough for London will be good enough for the north, but they want something in addition.

What Manchester sees today, London will see eventually.”

The epic story of Granada is told by some of the famous faces that have starred in or worked on its shows. Featuring new interviews with Dame Helen Mirren (Prime Suspect), Lynda La Plante (Prime Suspect writer), Charles Dance (Jewel In the Crown), Matthew Kelly, Sir Michael Parkinson, the stars of Coronation Street, Jeremy Irons, Shaun Ryder and many many more.

Dame Helen Mirren credits the huge impact Granada had on

her career: “If I were to break my life up into big chunks, I would say ‘theatre, Granada, and film’.

Granada Television created me in many ways.”

The celebratory programme also follows veteran daytime presenters Richard & Judy as they revisit the offices where they began their careers as journalists and fell in love. Plus, Peter Kay gets the behind-the-scenes gossip from unsung heroes like the restaurant staff, security men, wardrobe and props.

From historic performances by the great Sir Laurence Olivier to the gritty reality of The Jeremy Kyle show, the studios have been part of the fabric of British life for almost 60 years.

As ITV prepare to pack away the glitz and glamour, the building’s legacy lives on in the people who have worked there, the audiences who have visited and the millions of people who enjoyed its shows.

In this first episode, Ben is given a tour of a development set to become the most expensive in the area. He goes to sea with the Millers, a fishing family who are facing financial difficulties with their main vessel out of action.

Heston's Fantastical Food Channel 4, 12:35

Heston Blumenthal celebrates the greatest pleasure of childhood - sweets - by making his own Willy Wonka-inspired giant sweet shop.

Heston recalls the utter joy he felt from seeing the endless jars of sweet shop confectionery and the tough decision of how to spend his pocket money, and wants to bring this kind of excitement back - on a massive scale. He visits a real-life chocolate factory before setting about making the world's biggest Rolos. Then he tries to make an entire meal from chewing gum, consisting of tomato soup followed by roast chicken, all washed down with wine. He also puts his own spin on Fruit Pastilles. He makes a giant sweet shop and takes it to Chesterfield, once home to the beloved Trebor factory that made Refreshers and Blackjacks, to make some giant Jelly Babies and Liquorice Allsorts, and invites the people of the town to witness his sweet shop wonders, including a gallery of edible portraits and an edible garden.

W C choice A Caribbean Mystery ITV1, 20.00 Olivier award-winning actress Julia McKenzie returns as Britain’s muchloved spinster sleuth, Miss Marple, in the first of three new Agatha Christie adaptions to screen on ITV. A Caribbean Mystery finds Miss Marple (Julia McKenzie) far from St Mary Mead in a lavish hotel on the tropical island of St. Honore. However, the Golden Palms resort proves itself to be far from the heavenly retreat it first seemed, when fellow guest Major Palgrave (Oliver Ford Davies) dies shortly after his arrival, following an evening of exotic food, Planter’s Punch, and a specially arranged “Voodoo show”.

Miss Marple alone is unconvinced by the “official” verdict that Palgrave died from a heart attack, and recruits the curmudgeonly business tycoon, Jason Rafiel (Antony Sher), to be her reluctant sidekick. Together they unpick a web of deceit and “dark magic”.

Despite Miss Marple’s conviction that another murder is imminent, the local police chief, Inspector Daventry (Anele Matoti), stubbornly refuses to take this sweet-natured spinster seriously. That is until the brutal deaths of a hotel maid and a second guest.

Suddenly every one of the hotel’s intriguing guests and its owners, Tim (Robert Webb) and Molly Kendall (Charity Wakefield), becomes a suspect, and it is left to Agatha Christie’s iconic detective to unravel the truth, and apprehend this paradise island’s dangerous killer.

How Councils Waste Your Money. Councils across the UK have annual budgets in the tens of billions of pounds.

But do you know what they really spend it on?

About 60 per cent of council budgets come from central government, with the remainder raised by business rates and council tax payers. Much of this is spent on vital and valuable services such as social care and education.

But an investigation by Channel 4 Dispatches reveals some spending that local authorities across the UK wished you didn't know about, from expensive cars to foreign trips and from five-star hotels to golf lessons. The programme's findings are based on hundreds of Freedom of Information requests, which offer a glimpse into how councils spend our money.

The Apprentice BBC1, 21:00

Business competition.

Love is in the air this week as the candidates are called to London's busiest registry office, Marylebone Town Hall. There, Lord Sugar tells them that this week's task is to come up with a new online dating concept backed up by an original advertising campaign.

One team decides to target young professionals while the other team settle on the over 50s. Half head off to take the pulse of the public while the rest work on the websites.

But there is trouble in paradise for some as market research throws up some surprising results and an explosive move leaves the candidates in disarray. The next day it is lights, camera, action as the ads get underway and a starring role for one candidate leaves his teammates speechless. In the boardroom, both teams come under fire and the losers are left with a lot of explaining to do as Lord Sugar tries to get to the bottom of what went wrong. Yet the honeymoon is over for someone as they hear Lord Sugar's fateful phrase.

The best of Tenerife

Comedy Club SOL BERNSTEIN has performed two solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival: Almost Alive, for which he won a Spirit of the Fringe award in 2003, and Almost Alive II the following year.

He is described as “One part Alf Garnett, two parts Mel Brooks, and three parts like nothing you’ve ever heard” by The Guardian critic, while the Edinburgh Evening News defines him by saying: “There’s no age barrier to comic genius”.

Yes, it’s true! After 25 years of semiretirement, playing nursing homes, Sol Bernstein is back where he belongs, in smokey nightclubs performing to drunks.

The legend that is Sol Bernstein escaped the Pogroms in Russia and the Nazis in Germany, and went on to become the world’s first allround entertainer.

He’s a song-and-dance man, a comedian, a magician, an actor, a jazz musician (Sol was rated “Best Triangle Player” in the US in the Fifties by such geniuses as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington). And he has also been rated the Best Impersonator EVER! Sol has performed at venues all over the world, including The London Palladium, New York’s Carnegie Hall, The Paris Olympia, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and Scunthorpe Baths.

But it’s in the nightclubs where Sol really comes to life.

His charisma, his style, his catch-phrase “Why don’t you put on a tie”, his chutzpah … put it all together and you see the magic that is Sol Bernstein.

In fact, you’ll be able

to get a close-up look at this idol among idols at Tenerife Comedy Club’s “Best Of” show next Saturday (22nd June) at Karting Las Americas.

Here’s an insight into the life and career of this veritable showbiz icon: Why did you start in comedy?

I wanted to work in a cash business!

What was your break/ turning point?

Still waiting for it Favourite place performed?

Edinburgh, Vegas, and Tenerife!

What’s your aim/goal in comedy?

Very simple - just to make people laugh Who is/was your comedy hero?

Lenny Bruce and Groucho Marx Describe your style of comedy in three words Rude Jewish Man Tell us a joke that sums up your style I’ve just been voted Jewish comedian of the year … by Hammas If you knew tomorrow was your last day, how would you spend it?

With three – no, four hookers!

Who’s your favourite cartoon character, and why?

Popeye, ’cause he sleeps with Olive Oil If you could have a superpower, what would it be?

America What’s the strangest thing you have in your house?

A photo of Michael McIntyre Do you ever dance when there’s no music playing?

All the time If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Do you really want to know … or have to ask?

What’s your motto in life?

Eat, drinkand be merriest of Tenerife Comedy Club!

See Sol Bernstein performing with Ivan Brackenbury and Gerry K at the Best of the Tenerife Comedy Club on Saturday 22nd June, at Showtime, Karting, Las Americas. Call 669 622 622 for tickets.

Grey is the new black!

By Sue McDonald I WAS recently talking to one of my clients, whose apartment we have just revamped, and she was telling me that grey is the new black!

I’ve always liked grey and have often used it as a neutral base as an alternative to the more usual creams and browns.

Using a neutral base and then introducing a pop of colour in soft furnishings – pictures, etc - is an excellent way of introducing the wow factor, without it becoming overpowering.

Grey is a softer version of black, which can appear a bit stark, so it is a good compromise.

This particular client

Page 38

was very “savvy” as far as her interior design was concerned.

She knew exactly what effect she wanted to achieve, which was to completely modernise their apartment in a popular, rental complex in Los Cristianos.

She had the kitchen and bathroom refitted, and resprayed the existing furniture in white as it fitted in the apartment well, and was of good quality.

The floors were retiled, again in a light and modern colour.

The sofa bed and chair were upholstered in a vibrant purple - a daring choice, but one that really paid off!

By using whites and greys, with touches of black and a vibrant purple, she created a very clean-looking, modern property, which will easily rent because of the photos she can now present.

Imagine looking at two photos of apartments to rent in the same

complex - one with pine furniture and dark colours, and the other all in whites and greys with purples, modern and light … no contest!

A new set of terrace furniture in synthetic rattan completed the apartment, and will allow their rental clients to spend time out on their lovely terrace.

Of course, we are fortunate here in Tenerife with good weather pretty much all year round, but summer is now approaching!

We are already seeing an increase in sales of foscuri, which is sun-block curtaining.

These are great for keeping rooms dark and cool, and preventing furniture fading.

It now comes in 20 different colours rather than the white or grey plastic which was previously the case, so you need only one curtain (keeping costs down).

There is also a good demand for fly screens, aluminium-framed, weather-resistant and professionally fitted.

Remember those swarms of flies we had last year? People are obviously planning ahead this year!

These fly screens allow you to keep doors and windows open to allow the passage of air without being bothered by any pesky critters, including mosquitos.

So, if you are thinking of revamping your property, or simply getting yourself ready for the summer, contact Deco Nuevo in Parque Margarita.

Cash still counts in plastic world A CRUMPLED fiver in the pocket is still worth two in the bank, or so the saying goes.

Well, almost!

It’s difficult to comprehend in this plastic age, but many people still prefer paying for their goods in “real” money.

Whether it’s a crisp bundle of notes from the hole in the wall, that scruffy £5 note you’ve fished out of your back pocket, or a fistful of coins, hard cash still speaks volumes.

And research suggests that it’s down to the recession that we are still happier paying for our purchases with cash.

Householders feel it gives them greater control over their budget because at least they can physically see what they are spending.

Around 20.8 billion cash payments were made last year, which was 200 million more than in 2011 and so reversing the long-term habit of paying by plastic.

The banks are much keener on plastic pay-

ments because it is much cheaper for them to deal with electronic purchases.

But real money still equates to 54% of all purchases, according to a report from the Payments Council and Link, which runs the nation’s cash machines.

The report said: “More people are turning to cash exclusively, possibly to help them monitor the amount they are spending on a day-today basis.

“In 2012, some 7.2million adults made all of their day-to-day purchases by cash, which was an increase of around 700,000 against 2011.”

Ten years ago, banks were closing down cash machines, claiming they were too expensive to run, and wanting to impose withdrawal charges.

Following a campaign by consumer groups, however, they reversed this policy and now operate a record number of 66,134 machines.

Significantly, they are committed to providing free to access cash machines in deprived ar-

eas, rather than leaving customers at the mercy of companies charging £2 per withdrawal.

The report said that 46,069 of the UK’s cash machines are free-touse and, surprise, surprise, 97.2% of withdrawals were from these machines!

David Hensley, the Payments Council cash chief, said: “Cash is still a vital part of our day-to-day lives, and more than half of all our payments are in cash, reflecting its easy use and its wide acceptance.”

John Howells, chief executive of Link, said: “The UK is one of the few European countries whose cash machine network is still growing.

“We are currently seeing an increase in cash withdrawals, but the challenge is to make sure our cash machine network still provides a service that customers want in 10 and 20 years.”

Frustrated bank chiefs want to see the back of both cash and cheques because they are so expensive for them to transport and handle.

That is why they are pouring millions of pounds into encouraging customers to use debit cards, tap-and-go cards and even smart phones to pay at tills.

However, many remain suspicious of these new forms of payment and for them, cash is still king!

‘Sheddies’

By David Hudgell National Shed Week begins on the 1st of July when the winner of Nation’s Shed of the Year award 2013 will be announced.

The celebratory event is now in its 7th year and sponsored, aptly by Cuprinol.

Shed enthusiasts take pride in building and caring for their sheds.

And, they’re no ordinary sheds.

The categories include: Ecoshed, Garden office, Cabin/summerhouse, Workshop/studio, Unique shed, Pub shed, Tardis shed, Normal shed.

It’s a busy week in your garden

There will even be a special category for International Shed of the Year. The competition

Edibles increase Edible gardening continues to rise, according to research by a gardening association, and shows no signs of stopping.

It appears that gardeners share 5 common challenges in growing their own fruits and vegetables: time, insect and disease control, wildlife control, irrigation, and cost. An increasing number of gardeners are taking up container gardening to address these issues.

Frank DiPaolo, General Manager of EarthBox®, a self-watering container gardening system, explains: “Container gardening helps

increase yields by providing ideal growing conditions – perfect soil and the ability to grow anywhere, for starters.

Some containers, like the EarthBox, include a water reservoir to make things even easier. The science behind the EarthBox means you can’t over-water or under-water as long as you don’t let the reservoir go dry. Plants tend to be healthier when grown in ideal conditions, too.”

Container gardening is allowing apartment dwellers, schools, community centres, and OAP’s to help fuel the boom in edible gardening.

ANOTHER FINE MESS?

By Carl from Robot

MANY people with fine hair seem to believe that their styling options are restricted, but that’s not always the case.

Some clients with this problem want to “disguise” the fact that they have finer hair by opting to grow it too long - or crop it too short.

But both these options, I feel, result in the opposite effect and make the hair seem finer.

Having finer hair doesn’t mean it can’t look as good as the rest. It just needs the right style to give the illusion of more hair .

Try to keep finer blonde hair longer in the layers, as this type can look thinner than darker hair.

That’s because blonde hair is more transparent and, thus, looks thinner.

Don’t try to go for too much volume, either, as this can look “see through”.

Instead, keep the volume at the sides and fullness at the back.

And don’t use your sparse hair to create a full fringe because this takes away the hair from the sides of your head, making the temples look even thinner.

Instead, go for sweeping fringes, or all

one length at the front.

But never try to grow this type of hair past chin-length as it will only look straggly and limp.

Go with what you have, and don’t try to bumph it up with back-combing and the dreaded lacquered look.

This can appear

dated, and one gust of wind will show the world that you’re trying to hold it down.

Also, go easy on styling and chemicals as this can also make the hair seem finer. Try going for one all-over colour rather than hilites because a solid colour gives a thicker appearance.

NEVER add hair extensions to fine hair as the weight of them will pull out more hair and give you even finer hair in the long run.

When shampooing, go for a light, moisturising shampoo, and don’t use too much conditioner as this can weigh the hair down even more.

It’s not easy dealing with this type of hair, but if you find the right style and colour, it can look just as good as anyone’s hair!

JUST 5% of the general public fail to wash their hands for long enough to kill harmful germs after visiting the toilet.

Also, 33% do not use soap, and a further 10% don’t even wash their hands at all, according to environmental health experts at Michigan State University. And men are the worst offenders.

You need to wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds to kill germs says their new study, which was based on observations of 3,749 people using public loos.

Lead author Professor Carl Borchgrevink, associate professor of

hospitality business, said: “These findings were surprising to us because past research suggested that proper hand-washing was occurring at a much higher rate.”

The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention preaches that hand-washing is the single, most effective thing to do to reduce the spread of infectious diseases.

Failing to wash hands sufficiently contributes to nearly 50% of all foodborne illness outbreaks, it adds.

People tend to wash their hands for only about six seconds on average, yet experts say it takes 15-20 seconds of vigorous hand-washing with soap and water to effectively kill the germs which cause infections.

It can’t have been the easiest task for

the researchers, who observed hand-washing in toilets in bars, restaurants and other public establishments.

Among the findings were that 15% of men did not wash their hands at all, compared with 7% of women. And when they did wash, just 50% t of men used soap, compared with 78% of women.

People were less likely to wash their hands in a dirty sink, and the act was more prevalent earlier in the day.

Professor Borchgrevink said this suggested people who were out at night for a meal or drinks were in a relaxed mode, which led to hand-washing becoming less important.

People were also more likely to wash their hands if there were a sign over the sink encouraging them to do so.

Prof Borchgrevink, who worked as a chef and restaurant manager before becoming a researcher, said the findings had implications for both consumers and those who operate restaurants and hotels.

“Imagine you’re a business owner and people come to your establishment and get a food-borne illness because they didn’t wash their hands,” he said.

“It puts your reputation on the line and you could even lose your business.”

By Val Sainsbury THE lives of some babies are being put at risk by the rising number of overweight women, especially new mums, in Britain.

These babies are more likely to be born prematurely, increasing the likelihood of serious illness and even death.

A study of 1.5 million births in Sweden between 1992 and 2010 found the danger of early delivery rose proportionally with the mother’s weight.

Women with the highest BMI (body mass index) also had the highest statistical risk of giving birth prematurely and, especially, extremely early. Compared with women of regular size, an extremely premature birth was 25% more likely for overweight women and

Health and Beauty

New mums’ weighty risk

60% more likely for obese mothers.

For those women who are severely obese (BMI 35-39.9) or extremely obese (BMI 40 or more), the corresponding risk was doubled and tripled respectively.

Risks of very and moderately pre-term deliveries also increased with BMI. The findings, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, are alarming with the obesity levels in Britain fast-approaching those in the US. Three in five UK adults are overweight or obese which, possibly, explains the 40,000 babies a year born prematurely - Europe’s highest total.

Professor Sven Cnat-

14th June - 20th June 2013

tingius, of Stockholm’s Karolinska Institute, said: “For the individual woman who is overweight or obese, the risk of an extremely pre-term delivery is still small.

“However, these findings are important from a population perspective. Pre-term infants and, above all, extremely pre-term infants account for a substantial fraction of infant mortality and morbidity in highincome countries.”

The professor’s researchers calculated the women’s BMI (weight in kilograms divided by height in square metres) from information given at their first visit to prenatal care. A BMI between 18.5-24.9 was assessed as normal, 25-29.9

as overweight, and 30 or more as obese.

Dr Cnattingius said one-third of all pregnant women in Sweden were either overweight or obese, and this impacted the number of premature babies.

He added: “Overweight and obesity also increase the risk of maternal preg-

nancy complications, including pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes and Caesarean delivery.”

There are about 100,000 births in Sweden every year, of which around 250 are extremely early - they are delivered more than 12 weeks before the expected date.

Another 500 are very

premature (8-12 weeks too early), and 4,500 moderately so (4-8 weeks). The study also found the risk was substantially explained by obesity-related diseases, such as the severe pregnancy complication preeclampsia, which endangers the health of both mother and child.

Walk off that diabetes worry A 15-MINUTE walk after each meal could prevent older people from developing type-2 diabetes.

Elevated blood sugar after meals could increase the risk of type2 diabetes, so resting after eating is, said researchers at the George Washington University, “the worst thing you can do”.

Post-meal walks control blood sugar as well as one long walk, and Diabetes UK, though citing “small differences” between exercise routines, said any activity was beneficial.

The US study was the first to test short bouts of exercise in the “risky period” following meals, when blood sugar can rise rapidly, said lead author Loretta

DiPietro. She added high blood sugar after meals was a key risk factor in the progression from impaired glucose tolerance what the study called “pre-diabetes” to Type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

The research found that three 15-minute walks were as effective at reducing blood sugar over a 24-hour period as one 45-minute walk of the same “easy-to-moderate” pace.

But walking after food “is significantly more effective at blunting the potentially- damaging elevations in post-meal blood sugar, commonly observed in older people”.

They may be “particularly susceptible” to poor blood-sugar con-

trol after meals because of insulin resistance in the muscles, together with slow or low insulin secretion from the pancreas.

Researchers found the best time to walk was after the evening meal, which is often the largest of the day and, therefore, causes the greatest rise in blood sugar.

This increase, they said, often lasted “well into the night and early morning”, but it was “curbed significantly” as soon as people started to walk.

They studied 10 people aged 60 and over who were at risk of developing Type-2 diabetes because of higher-thannormal levels of fasting, blood sugar and insufficient physical activity.

Dr DiPietro said the findings could lead to an “inexpensive strategy” for preventing type2 diabetes, but said the results had to be confirmed by larger trials.

Weight loss and exercise are widely accepted as key ways to prevent Type-2 diabetes, which occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin to function properly, or the body’s cells do not react to insulin.

Diabetes UK estimates that up to seven million UK people are at “high risk” of developing the disease.

Cleaning Hands are one of the main ways in which germs are spread. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before cooking and after touching the bin, going

Wash or change dish cloths, tea towels, sponges and oven gloves regularly and let them dry before you use

Recipe of the week STEVE HARLOW, who travelled the world before arriving in Tenerife nine years ago, has all the necessary qualifications to serve up the perfect dish - including a royal seal of approval!

He spent two years at catering college learning his trade, and then, after working at two upmarket establishments, graduated to the Troutbeck Hotel in Ilkley.

And that’s where his career really took off because he catered for the stars - and even Prince Charles’ shooting parties.

They would bring back grouse and pheasant and Steve would prepare and hang the birds to serve to the regal ensemble a few days later.

He then spread his own wings, working in a variety of restaurants in New Zealand, Florida,

Page 42

Canada, Kenya and Europe, gaining knowledge and ideas of the trade before arriving here in 2002.

He is currently working in Diamonds, the bar-restaurant at Paloma Beach, Los Cristianos, alongside the owners, Ian & Angie, where they have, again, just won the Tripadvisor Award for Excellence 2013.

They are fast-becoming famous for their braised sirloin steak and half roast shoulder of lamb, as well as offering an extensive, varied menu.

Despite his many culinary influences, Steve’s favourite recipe is the classic filet de boeuf stroganoff.

Filet de boeuf stroganoff (Serves two, cooking time 10min) Ingredients 8oz fillet steak cut into thin strips 1 small onion, diced 6 mushrooms, sliced Chopped garlic to taste Salt & pepper to taste Pinch paprika 1tsp lemon juice 1tbsp brandy 1tbsp white wine 5fl.oz cream ½ oz butter Method Saute steak, onion and mushroom in butter, stir in garlic and paprika, plus salt and pepper.

them again. Dirty, damp cloths are the perfect place for bacteria to breed.

Cross contamination Cross contamination occurs when harmful germs are spread between food, surfaces and equipment. Help to prevent this by removing clutter that you don’t need and washing worktops before and after cooking.

Always use a chopping board. Wash the board and other utensils in hot, soapy water when you’ve finished using them and in between preparing raw foods (meat, poultry, eggs, fish and raw vegetables) and ready-to-eat

food. Better still, use a separate chopping board for each.

Chilling Make sure your fridge is set below 5°C, using a fridge thermometer to check. This is to prevent harmful germs from growing and multiplying.

Don’t overfill your fridge. This allows air to circulate and maintains the set temperature.

Store raw meat and poultry at the bottom of the fridge and properly wrap or cover it to avoid raw juices contaminating other foods.

Cooking Cook food thoroughly until it is steaming hot

in the middle. This will kill any harmful bacteria that may be present.

‘Use by’ dates ‘Use by’ dates are found on perishable products, such as dairy, meat and fish, and are based on scientific testing to determine how long these foods will stay safe. After that date, food could be unsafe to eat even if it is stored correctly and looks and smells fine.

‘Best before’ dates are used on foods that have a longer shelf life and tell us how long the food will be at its best. After that date it is normally safe to eat, but its flavour and texture might have deteriorated.

Wetherspoon shines in Scores on the Doors To coincide with Food Safety Week a total of 650 Wetherspoon pubs in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have gained the maximum five star rating in the Food Standards Authority (FSA) Scores on the Doors scheme which highlights hygiene standards in pubs and restaurants.

This represents 85 per cent of the 761 Wetherspoon pubs listed on the FSA website.

Additionally 92 of the company’s pubs gained a four star rating, with 19 pubs below this score.

Council environmental health officers at 363 local authorities across England, Wales and Northern Ireland visit

premises to check on hygiene standards.

The hygiene rating reflects the inspection findings and ranges from a minimum of zero to a maximum of five.

According to the Scores on the Doors website, five stars equates to “Excellent.

Very high standards of food safety management.

Fully compliant with food safety legislation.”

We t h e r s p o o n’ s chairman, Tim Martin, said: “It is a myth that all regulation is bad for business.

“The Scores on the Doors scheme is an excellent example of government legislation which works well and is

14th June - 20th June 2013

of great benefit to the public.

“It is important that people are made aware of the hygiene levels in pubs and restaurants.

“Our Scores on the Doors results are a great achievement by our management and staff and we will strive to ensure that hygiene levels within our pubs remain high.”

“This positive legislation is in contrast to some government legislation that is unfair on publicans and pub operators.

“For example, sending in under age people into pubs in order to entrap them is wrong.”

Golf GTD oozes class

By Jav The new VW Golf GTD, faster and better equipped than ever before, also emits less CO2 and returns better fuel economy than the first generation Golf BlueMotion.

But can a diesel car this efficient (67.3mpg) really be a genuine threat to its petrol-powered, hot-hatch rivals?

It certainly loses nothing to the Golf GTI in the styling department.

Everywhere you look, there’s another classy detail.

And the smoked LED lights, honeycomb grille and aggressive strakes on the bumper all add character to the Golf’s conservative design.

The suspension has been lowered by 15mm and, combined with the smart 18-inch alloys, gives the GTD a measured dose of aggression.

Start the engine and it settles into a hushed idle rather than a raucous snarl and, despite a 14bhp power hike over the previous model, the GTD is still a second slower than its pet-

Golf GTD key specs

Price: £25,940 (5dr manual) Engine: 2.0-litre 4cyl turbo-diesel Power: 181bhp Transmission: Six-speed manual, front-wheel drive 0-62mph: 7.5 seconds Top speed: 143mph Economy: 67.3mpg CO2: 109g/km (119g/km for DSG) Equipment: 18-inch alloys, Black tartan seats, touchscreen infotainment system, DAB radio, Bluetooth connectivity, dual-zone climate control.

rol counterpart from 0-62mph.

However with 380Nm of torque arriving from just 1,750rpm (30Nm more that the GTI), the in-gear pace of the GTD is impressive.

Grip the golf ballshaped gear knob and shift down in the precise six-speed manual box, and there is enough mid-range clout to make overtaking manoeuvres stress-free. It builds speed gradually rather than providing instant throttle response, but it can also carry that speed through tight corners with great ease.

The chassis remains composed, even on bumpy roads, and the extra stability gives you the confidence to drive the GTD harder and harder.

It has a quicker steering rack than the standard Golf to help it feel more nimble. But despite being accurate and well-weighted, the rim fails to provide much feedback, and rivals like the BMW 120d hatch have a lot more feel about them.

The GTD will also come with a sound ac-

tuator as an option later this year. It uses sensors in the exhaust and a speaker in the bulkhead to amplify engine noise in the cabin. But it adds a strangely-synthetic petrol warble that seems bizarre and gimmicky on a TDI-powered car and is hardly a useful feature.

What the Golf does get is a high kit count, which includes traditional goodies like the black tartan cloth seats,

stainless-steel pedals, unique dash inserts and a chunky, flat-bottomed steering wheel.

They all add a heightened sense of drama, and the excellent sports seats grip you firmly in place.

Also, the finish in the cabin is impeccable and the GTD feels like more of a high-quality product than ever - and quite right, too, with prices for the three-door manual starting at £25,285,

which is £310 than the old model.

Like all Golfs, there is plenty of room for five passengers and a sizeable boot, meaning you really could use the GTD as a sporty daily driver.

Tweaks to the exhausts and new variable valve timing means the engine now meets strict EU6 emissions regulations, making it a tempting company buy.

Range Rover makes ‘sporting’ progress LAND ROVER sources have confirmed that their new Range Rover Sport, scheduled for a 2014 launch, will get a four-cylinder diesel engine.

The company stress that this new entry-level Sport will still be “truly a Range Rover” and it is likely to get a four-cylinder petrol engine as well, though not for the UK market.

A new version of the Range Rover Sport RS is already under development, and Auto Express “spies” at Germany’s Nurburgring circuit captured this disguised prototype being tested on public roads near the track.

The new, larger air in-

takes and more aggressive front bumper set it apart from the standard model immediately, and the ride height also looks lower than that of the standard Range Rover Sport, which suggests firmer, tuned suspension. And black 21inch alloy wheels finish off the extensive makeover.

14th June - 20th June 2013

Under the bonnet is the same 5.0-litre super-charged V8 as the standard car, but with a higher power output.

It should be a match for the Jaguar XK-RS, with 542bhp and a massive 680Nm of torque sent to all four tyres. This means the Range Rover Sport RS could cover 0-62mph in around

4.8 seconds. Fade-free Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes are also likely to feature on the newcomer, reducing overall weight and providing superior stopping power.

Elsewhere, the dynamic traction control system, dampers, steering and gearbox will also be tweaked to help the car offer an even more exciting drive.

The Sport RS won’t be able to match the Jaguar XK-RS’ 186mph top speed, but it could be de-restricted to reach around 165mph on specially developed tyres.

Entry-level models, from £51,000, come with leather upholstery, automatic lights and wipers, DAB radio, a power tailgate, stop-start, climate control, heated front seats, HD navigation, air suspension and Land Rover’s famed

Terrain Response system.

Next up is the HSE. Starting from £59,995, this adds 20-inch alloy wheels, perforated leather seats, heated rear seats, electric adjustment for the steering column, front fog lights, a heated windscreen and a rear view camera.

The HSE Dynamic is priced from £64,995 and includes stainless steel pedals, a bright finish for the exhaust tailpipes, a gloss black grille and vents, 21-inch alloys and illuminated treadplates.

While the SE and HSE models come with a single-speed transmission, the HSE Dynamic includes the full low-range transfer box. The car also features a secondgeneration automatic Terrain Response 2 sys-

tem and Torque Vectoring, which uses the brakes to help sharpen up the handling when cornering hard.

To p - o f - t h e - r a n g e model is the Autobiography Dynamic. It costs from £74,995 and adds High Beam Assist for the headlights, interior mood lighting, a Meridian Surround Sound stereo, adaptive cruise control and a safety package including emergency braking and active front seatbelts The Sport will initially be available with three engines: the TDV6, with 254bhp; the SDV6 with 288bhp and the 503bhp supercharged 5.0-litre petrol V8.

The TDV8 will return to the Sport line-up later on, while a dieselelectric hybrid and fourcylinder petrol will also be offered.

Sport

By Roscoe IT was another successful season in the Oasis Fm Pool League, and the groundwork has been laid for the future.

There were a couple of major changes this year, and the gamble paid off handsomely.

For the first time, every venue used the same table and this was an unequivocal success. The plan to improve the standard of pool and the match experience worked to perfection.

The other big change was the match format.

The doubles frames, which would often produce random results, was axed in favour of a straight, best-of-12 format, with every player able to play up to three frames.

This, combined with the captains having to select their order for just four frames, changed the whole feel of a contest. It led to some remarkable comebacks and thrilling matches.

On the baize, Division One was fiercely competitive. The 13team league produced some memorable encounters, and there is no doubt that the standard improved, week on week.

At the start of the season, Gaffers A looked the team to beat and they flew out of the

www.canarianweekly.com

Happy Hammers champions again!

Top: Scotland celebrate. Bottom left: Roscoe, Chris, George. Bottom right: Phoenix Potters

traps. An early victory over Tenerife Hammers A saw them take the early lead and despite a pair of draws at Phoenix Bar, they took a firm grip on the table.

They were nicely in front in November as Hammers A not only lost at home to Phoenix Knights, but they also drew in Los Abrigos.

Gwen famously beat Jambo as La Cana earned an amazing draw.

Both teams racked

up the winners until they clashed again in February. This time, Hammers A were too strong and the tide quickly turned.

As the Hammers continued to win with ease, Gaffers A were just scrambling home. Their luck ran out in early April when they lost at home to Peacocks.

This meant they had to beat Hammers A a week later, a task that was beyond them. And just when the Hammers seemed home and

hosed, they slipped up and drew with Dreamers.

However, Gaffers couldn’t take advantage.

A rare Saturdayafternoon fixture upset them as Hammers C biffed them - and the league was lost.

While Hammers A were worthy winners, a hat-tip must go to Phoenix Potters, who finished a brilliant third in their first top-flight campaign. They will be even stronger next season.

Palms A had a rebuilding year, yet still finished fourth, while Hammers C will be delighted to have finished fifth.

Of the other sides, Peacocks improved as the season progressed after their naïve start, and their Plate final appearance was no fluke.

Bearing in mind the squad and the top team scalps they took, Phoenix Knights will be disappointed to have finished only sixth. But they did win the preseason Charity Shield, and have a TPT Cup final to contest.

Bar La Cana and

Terrace B will be playing second-tier pool next season, but both had their moments. La Cana will be strong favourites to bounce straight back with their newlook side, while many a top-flight player will be pleased to see the back of Jean from Terrace B. She made her mark all season and won many a “Battle of the sexes”!

Exiles A came from the clouds to win Division Two and earn promotion. From the very first frame, Next Door bar were in complete control only to fold like a pack of cards at the death.

They enjoyed a great cup run as well, with a couple of giant-killings.

But when they lost Ian and then Steve, they couldn’t cope. They lost four of their last five and, had the season been a few weeks longer, they may have been pipped for second.

Treehouse A were a model of consistency all season, and I wonder how they will do in Division One. James Place started well before dropping away, while Exiles B and Inn The Pink B finished like trains.

Young Harley belied his single-figure age as he won his share of frames, and Hoppys will be delighted with their first-ever season.

Credit also to the two Bluebell sides, who were a menace all season.

This Tuesday, it’s the final of the Tenerife Pool Tables Cup & Plate.

Both matches will be played at Terrace Bar,

Vikings miss the Target!

AFTER an openingday draw, Target Army have gone on to win three in a row and now sit proudly at the summit of the Premier League!

Their latest victims, Vikings Ensecan, were sunk in their longboats, going down 6-2, while over at Scruffy Macs, Bar 180 A lost a close 5-3er against Scruffy Macs.

Match of the day had to be at Target Bar as the Titans clashed with Palms Sports Bar. George hit a maximum, Dave finished on 150

and Davide checked out 130 for the home side. The Palms, however, held on to take the trebles leg for a hard-fought win.

Mitch had a 111 finish during Phoenix bar’s visit to Gaffers A, and the 7-1 scoreline was a bit flattering at the end. A man-of-thematch performance

by Gaffers’ Shane, was not helped by a host of missed doubles.

An in-house derby at Ourplace saw the Naturals beat the Playboys, with Del Boy hitting his first 180. The Pub were

too strong for La Caña Pirates, defeating them 6-2. Ricky checked out on 105 for the Abrigos team.

It’s all change at the top of Division 1 after a stunning 7-1 win for Gaffers B over Bar 180 B. Duncan struck his first maximum for Gaffers as they stormed to the top. Amazingly, Bar 180 B slipped from first to fifth!

Bar 180 C drew at Barracuda Bytes in a highscoring match, and Rood comfortably beat Summerlands 6-2.

Amistad 1 offered

some fine hospitality (especially the red wine) to visiting Chipeque Pool Bar. However, Lol and his team managed to focus just enough to come away with a 7-1 success.

Naughty Nautas’ first win of the campaign came courtesy of a 6-2 victory at Marilyns, and Trap Door also had their first positive result by taking the final rubber to beat Emerald Lounge.

As mentioned here previously, Tenerife Sun will be the team to beat in Division 2 - and

Peacocks finally found a way to win?

This season, there were a number of oneday singles events. This writer was lucky enough to win the pre-season event in Palms Bar (as you do!), while the Christmas event saw a

claim their first win, but they also left it until the last leg against Barracuda Hunters.

And more last-leg madness came at the Phoenix as the Flights drew with Amistad 2, and La Caña Lancers squeaked a victory over the Playgirls.

There is no league action tonight (Friday) as it’s the first of the keenly-contested knockout competitions, starting with the doubles, which will be played at five venues across the South of the Island.

Good luck to all!

they proved it again after making it back-toback whitewash victories, Pas O Nadas being the victims this time.

All the other five matches in this section were decided by the trebles leg. Sundowners fell back slightly after coming up against a stubborn Picassos outfit, who held on for a share of the points.

Emerald Shamrocks also took the last game, but this time to better effect as they beat Bar 180 D. The Rebels put in a fine performance to

Sport In Brief Gonzalez heads for City

AFTER nine seasons, 34 goals and 393 appearances for Seville, Spaniard Jesus Gonzalez has moved to Manchester City for £15 million. The 27-year-old winger will link up with his international team-mate David Silva, who has made a big impression there with fans and players alike.

Vettel laps up Red Bull

SEBASTIAN VETTEL, the 25-year-old German who has won the F1 world title for three consecutive years, has agreed to extend his contract with the Red Bull team by one year, until the end of 2015.

Legendary Sir Henry was the greatest trainer of all SIR Henry Cecil, the legendary racehorse trainer who was rated the best of all, has died at the age of 70, after a lengthy fight against cancer.

on Tuesday. Sir Henry died at a private hospital in Cambridge, having received a knighthood from the Queen in 2011 and battling stomach cancer for several years.

His crowning glory came towards the end of a career spanning four decades when he trained Frankel, the highest-rated racehorse ever, who retired last year after winning all 14 of his races.

Irish jockey Tom Queally, who rode Frankel to all his successes, said: “He was the greatest trainer of all, and he had the greatest horse of all.”

Former jockey Willie Carson said: “He was loved by everyone and he was just a genius of a horserace trainer.”

Royal Ascot begins its five day event from Tuesday and the Ascot Racecourse is delighted to announce that the Royal Enclosure is sold out on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday next week.

Royal Ascot

He claimed 25 British Classic winners on the Flat and was crowned champion trainer 10 times. Sir Henry was also the leading handler by some way at Royal Ascot with a record 75 successes.

“It is with great sadness that Warren Place Stables confirms the passing of Sir Henry Cecil earlier this morning,” said a statement announcing the news on his website

Paul Bittar, the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) chief executive, described him as “one of the great characters and one of the great trainers in British racing”.

“It’s tragically sad,” said Mr Bittar. “Having said that, what a wonderful way to be able to finish his career with the greatest racehorse (Frankel) that any of us will ever get to see.”

Sir Henry, purportedly from an aristocratic background, wasn’t actually born into racing, but he often said he could never have done anything else.

At 21, he started off as assistant to his stepfather, the Royal trainer Cecil BoydRochfort, and took charge on his retirement

in 1968. A year later, he was celebrating his first major success as Wolver Hollow won the Eclipse at Sandown.

As the years went by, his achievements grew and grew. He lifted his first Classic in 1973 when Cloonagh took the Irish 1,000 Guineas, and three years later he was champion trainer for the first time.

There was no stopping Sir Henry or his stable, and in 1987 he trained 180 winners, which was a record.

He is survived by two children from his first marriage, Katie and Noel, and son Jake from his second marriage to his onetime secretary, Jane McKeown, in 2008.

Since 2009, Vettel has rocked the Formula One world by claiming 29 victories - including last Sunday’s Canadian Grand Prix - and 39 pole positions.

Kyle wild about Wimbledon

TEENAGE tennis ace Kyle Edmund is one of seven British players to be awarded wild cards for Wimbledon, which starts on Monday week (24th June).

The South Africa-born 18-year-old, who now lives in Beverley, East Yorkshire, won his ticket after claiming the Boys’ Doubles crown at the French Open.

James Ward, the 26-year-old Davis Cup star from London, has also been granted a free passage to the Championships.

Other wild cards include: Men’s singles: Matthew Ebden (Aus), Nicolas Mahut (Fra) Women’s singles: Elena Baltacha (GB), Anne Keothavong (GB), Johanna Konta (GB), Tara Moore (GB), Samantha Murray (GB), Andrea Petkovic (Ger) Men’s doubles: Jamie Baker (GB) % Kyle Edmund (GB), Jamie Delgado (GB) & Matthew Ebden (Aus), David Rice (GB) & Sean Thornley (GB) Women’s doubles: Anne Keothavong (GB) & Johanna Konta (GB), Tara Moore (GB) &Melanie South (GB), Samantha Murray (GB) & Jade Windley (GB), Shahar Peer (Isr) & Zi Yan (Chn), Nicola Slater (GB) & Lisa Whybourn (GB).

113th US Open

The first round of the 113th US Open teed off with Cliff Kresge, Roger Tambellini and Ryan Yip. At that stage the weather conditions were good at Merion Golf Club, with temperatures in the mid-60s and the sun filtering through the high cloud cover.

Teeing off on No. 11, Ian Poulter had made birdies on his first three holes to take the lead at 3 under. But then play was suspended due to bad weather with a storm bringing an abrupt disruption to the first day’s play.

The Grandstand is sold out on Thursday, with Friday close to sell-out and Saturday likely to come close to capacity as Royal Ascot gets closer.

Charles Barnett, Chief Executive at Ascot, said; “It’s not uncommon for the Royal Enclosure to

fill on Tuesday as that has historically been the most popular day.

But to sell out with well over a week to go on Friday and Saturday is unprecedented."

They have also announced that the 2013 Queen’s Vase, to be run next Friday, will be titled: “The Queen’s Vase In Memory of Sir Henry Cecil.”

Jointly with the King Edward VII Stakes, the Queen’s Vase was the race in which Sir Henry had the most success with eight winners. He also holds the outright record in that race, with no other trainer

having matched that tally.

Along with the Gold Cup and the Royal Hunt Cup, the Queen’s Vase is one of three races at Royal Ascot for which The Queen donates her own trophy. The jockeys riding in The Queen’s Vase In Memory of Sir Henry Cecil will wear black armbands for that race.

On Tuesday, the opening day of the Royal Meeting, there will be a minute’s silence at the racecourse after the arrival of the Royal Procession in the Parade Ring. “Sir Henry was an intrinsic

part of Royal Ascot with 75 winners over more than four decades,” said Johnny Weatherby, Her Majesty’s Representative at Ascot.

“It is no secret that Royal Ascot was his favourite meeting of the year and we felt it was fitting to honour his achievements here next week, and remember the passing of one the greatest figures that the world of sport has ever seen.

“Our thoughts are with Sir Henry’s family and I am delighted that Lady Jane will be accompanying the Countess of Wessex for the trophy presentation following the Queen’s Vase.
