Chilling tale

Continued from front Shortly before 7pm last Friday, the Guardia Civil were called to an apartment block in La Camella, where the frozen corpse had been discovered.

The horrendous discovery is thought to have been made by a relative of the apartment owner, who had come to clean it for new tenants as the apartment had been empty for a number of weeks.

Initially, Police began investigations as to the whereabouts of the mother, and to carry out an autopsy.

A 33-year-old Spanish woman, believed to come from Los Realejos and identified by the initials FGM, was arrested later that evening.

After making a statement, she was charged and released without bail, with the proviso that she reports twice per month to

AT the tail-end of last week Costa Adeje hoisted three blue flags on its beaches – Playa Fanabe, El Duque and Troya I/II. The municipality aims to achieve five blue flags for the 2014-2015 season with improvements at the Ajabo and Torviscas beaches. At the ceremony Gonzalo Delgado Garcia Diaz and Rafael Dolado thanked the people who work so hard in keeping these bathing areas pristine.

The fact that a destina-

the Police. She has surrendered her passport.

The autopsy showed that the baby boy was alive when born, and the cause of his death was the lack of assisted delivery.

It is alleged that she is now residing at the family home in Playa San Juan, with two of her young children; her other children are believed to be in care.

Local residents in La Camella have refused to comment about the gruesome incident which occurred in such a quiet area.

According to Spanish Press sources, residents in San Juan are unhappy about the attention the small resort is receiving from their newspapers.

That’s because they are in official mourning for the two local teenage girls who, tragically, lost their lives in a car accident during the same weekend.

Police swoop on another alleged Brit drug baron ALLEGED drugtrafficker Brian Charrington, one of Europe’s top10 most-wanted criminals, has been arrested at his luxury home on the Costa Blanca.

The 57-year-old, one of 10 being hunted by police, was nabbed, along with his girlfriend and a son, in a joint swoop by UK serious crime officers and Spain’s National Police, who seized a 220-kilo haul of cocaine, worth an astonishing £9 million, which was hidden under a floor.

Charrington, from Middlesborough is said to be part of an alleged transatlantic cocainesmuggling ring, which Spanish police are dismantling.

He was taken into custody along with his son in Alicante, while his girlfriend, who was not named, was arrested in Venezuela.

A total of 13 people were arrested in the two countries, all accused of smuggling drugs into Spain for sale across Europe.

A Spanish police statement read: “One of the arrested was Brian Colin Charrington, a long-time British criminal who is one of the top 10 most investigated criminals by European police forces.”

The statement went on

to say that Charrington, a former car dealer, had been living a life of luxury in Spain, where he and his son owned 10 homes, several top-end cars and six boats in the Marina Alta area of Alicante alone.

It also said Andrew Moran, a Briton wanted on charges of aggravated robbery, was arrested in May while relaxing by the pool on one of Charrington’s properties.

Police have seized 220kg (485lb) of cocaine from an apartment, and blocked bank accounts, property and goods worth over five million euros. Britain’s Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) was also involved in the operation.

Spain conducted the three-year investigation together with police in Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina and Britain, with the support of Ameripol, an international police agency grouping the United States and 19 Latin

American and Caribbean states.

Venezuelan Justice Minister Miguel Rodriguez Torres said the gang was thought to have smuggled “more or less” 25 tonnes of cocaine to Europe from South America over the last decade.

Torres said in a telephone call to Venezuela’s state television: “We’ll continue investigating and identifying the assets that these people have registered in different parts of the country.”

Fifty-two of 65 British fugitives known to be in Spain have been arrested since 2007 as a result of campaigns organised by the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), Crimestoppers and the Spanish police.

There really is no hiding place for these criminals, as convicted British drug-trafficker Mark Lilley, who hid out in Tenerife for a while, discovered when he was ar-

rested in Malaga recently in a “panic” room hidden behind a bedroom wardrobe.

Venezuela shares a long, largely unpoliced border with Colombia and has become a major trans-shipment point for Colombian cocaine on its way to international markets.

The Caracas Government says its arrest of several high-profile Colombian traffickers in recent years is evidence of its commitment in the fight against drugsmuggling.

Last year, Venezuelan security forces, working with Colombian officers and US and British intelligence agencies, caught one of the mostwanted Colombian kingpins, Daniel ‘Crazy’ Barrera, during a raid in a Venezuelan border city.

The Colombian government said Barrera’s group was capable of sending 10 tonnes of cocaine a month to Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, the most powerful, organised crime gang in the Americas.

Eloy Quirós, head of the Udyco crime-fighting force, said police began the operation back in 2010 and that the success had been made possible through the collaboration of Britain’s SOCA, the ONA of Venezuela, the Colombian police, the Argentine police and the support of AMERIPOL, among others.

Blue flag irony

tion like Costa Adeje has so many blue flags, is a symbol of quality, since the presence of it, recognises and encourages the efforts of local communities to obtain and keep the recognition through the criteria of accessibility, water and sand quality, health, cleanliness, safety, environmental management, first aid,

19th July - 25th July 2013

etc. For visitors the blue flags act as an assurance of quality. The Blue Flag is awarded annually by the European Environmental Education Foundation to beaches and marinas that meet a set of environmental conditions and facilities, such as water quality, safety, service delivery and general management envi-

ronment. This badge is awarded to beaches and marinas in over thirty countries in Europe and the Caribbean as well as South Africa, New Zealand and Canada.

The irony came later in the week, Thursday, when there was a rumour that Playa del Duque beach, Costa Adeje, was closed due to contami-

nation – sour grapes by someone do with think?

Sources confirmed that an analysis of the sea water had been taken and confirmed that the water and beach met strict guidelines and it was safe to bathe, even though there had been an ‘illegal discharge’ in the water.

The Ayuntamiento have confirmed that the

source of the contamination is coming from a clandestine source and follow up police action will be taken. It is however not the fault of any of the nearby hotels.

Additional testing will be carried out on a daily basis to ensure the water quality and despite reports Playa del Duque is open as usual.

Teenagers die in crash

TWO teenage girls, aged 16 and 17, were killed last weekend when the car in which they were travelling left the road near Punta Blanca, on the El Varadero exit between Puerto Santiago and Alcalá. Three young men were also injured in the crash.

The vehicle hit a palm tree and then ran into a wall. Emergency services had to cut some of the passengers out of the car. It is thought that the youngsters may have been travelling back from a fiesta.

Prisoner flees Tenerife II

A YOUNG prisoner, identified as Tanausú AD, escaped from Tenerife II Prison on Monday at 5pm while taking part in an agricultural/ reforestation workshop.

He was sentenced in 2011 for robbery with violence of an occupied dwelling. He has family ties with the areas of La Laguna and the El Sobradillo district, south-west of the capital, near the TF2. As a minor, he was said to have escaped from a juvenile centre.

Consulates assisted more than 4,600 Brits last year CONSULAR staff in Spain and the Canaries assisted a total of 4,658 needy British citizens last year.

The figure has just been released in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s (FCO’s) annual British Behaviour Abroad Report 2013.

Spain, the country most popular with British tourists and expats, saw significant decreases in arrests, detentions and hospitalisation cases - mainly because of local initiatives involving consular staff, police and hospital authorities. Consular staff dealt with 101 arrests for drug offences in 2012-13 compared with 143 the year before.

General arrests reported to Consulates fell from to 1,599 from 1,909 a year earlier, partly through a new emphasis on directing resources towards the most vulnerable cases.

Hospitalisation cases fell by 899 from 1,105 in the previous year, which is a reflection of how Consular staff have worked closely with local hospitals to make them more aware of the types of cases in which the FCO can add real value.

Consulates have also strengthened ties with charities which support British nationals in less critical situations, allowing staff to focus on the most needy.

Reported rape and sexual assault cases increased to 70 last year, compared with 40 in 2011-12.

Spain, Greece and Turkey were the three countries in which the largest numbers of such cases were reported - destinations popular with young Brits because of their busy nightlife.

Foreign & Commonwealth Office Minister Mark Simmonds, said: “I am proud that our staff continue to offer vital support to thousands of British travellers and residents around the world.

“Each case can represent great distress

for the individuals concerned, and for their families.

“I encourage all British travellers to do everything they can to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip by taking some basic steps to prepare themselves before departure, including taking out comprehensive travel insurance and researching their destination.

“I am deeply concerned to see an increase in the number of reported rape and sexual assault cases involving British people.

“The priority for our Consular staff is the safety and well-being of British travellers and we will continue to work with other Governments and tour operators, to help prevent further cases and provide all possible support for victims.

“This support includes explaining local procedures, accompanying people to the police station, helping them deal with local authorities and medical staff, and contacting friends and family at home if that is wanted.”

The report reveals that alcohol continues to be a major factor in cases involving young people visiting the Balearics, Turkey and Greek islands.

Consulates in Spain encourage visiting Britons to pack three essential items: *Comprehensive travel insurance - read the small print, declare preexisting medical conditions and make sure it covers you for everything you want to do, including adventurous activities. An uninsured person who is seriously injured or dies abroad can lead to repatriation

bills running to thousands of pounds. *A European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) – so you can get statefunded medical care that may become necessary while you are in Spain. An EHIC is free and can be obtained via www.ehic.org.uk or by calling +44 (0) 845 606 2030. *Information about local laws - the more clued-up you are, the less likely you are to find yourself on the wrong side of the law. Countryspecific local laws and customs can be found at www.gov.uk/foreigntravel-advice.

Spain received 13.6 million Britons during 2012 - almost one-quarter of all overseas tourists - and an estimated 800,000 Britons are resident for all or part of the year.

The countries where Britons are most likely to need consular assistance are the Philippines, Thailand and Pakistan. Spain is 11th on the list.

What the FCO can and can’t do for people who have problems when travelling abroad: The FCO can *Issue you with an emergency travel document *Give you a list of local lawyers, interpreters, doctors or funeral directors *Contact friends and family back home for you, if necessary

*Provide information about transferring funds *Visit you in hospital, or if you have been arrested The FCO can’t *Help you enter a country if you don’t have a valid passport or necessary visas *Give you legal advice *Get you better treatment in hospital or prison than is given to local people *Pay any bills or give you money *Make travel arrangements for you The FCO’s Know Before You Go campaign encourages British nationals to prepare for their foreign travel so they can avoid preventable problems. A full holiday checklist can be found at www.gov.uk/ foreign-travel-checklist We encourage those victims of rape or sexual assault overseas to contact their nearest Embassy or Consulate for support.

Your cash risk NEW car sales have boomed this month, but it is too little, too late for the industry.

That’s because the Spanish Government’s “scrap for cash” scheme is about to be scrapped itself!

The Plan PIVE enabled owners to trade in their old cars - over

seven years of age, or newer ones declared total losses - for scrap metal in exchange for discounts of up to 3,000 euros on brand-new motors.

This scheme gave the motor trade a huge boost across the country, with 34,000 cars bought straight off the forecourt in the first two weeks of July, beating sales in the

19th July - 25th July 2013

corresponding month last year by a whopping 25.4%.

Dealership and franchise associations GANVAM and Faconauto say deliveries of new cars to private individuals, rather than companies, topped 17,000 in the first fortnight of this month.

And that was 45% more than in the same period last year.

In addition, car-hire

firms bought 9,400 vehicles, which was a 31% improvement on the July 2012 sales.

Large firms buying new vehicles as pool cars or company cars were among the minority, say the two groups, with fewer than 8,000 sold, which amounted to a 9% drop on last year’s figures.

GANVAM and Faconauto say these statistics have come about through “panicbuying” as those who own cars with no resale value capitalise on the last few days of Plan PIVE. Until this Plan was launched, scrapyards paid far less for old or undriveable cars and, in most cases, the owner was forced to pay a fee for the vehicle to be picked up by the authorities for disposal.

This has always led to a high number of abandoned cars in towns and on country roads, with many town councils cracking down by considering any vehicle parked in a public space for a month or more to have been “dumped”.

The owner faced a fine, which led to people unable to drive for long periods having to arrange for someone else to move their car periodically to avoid this.

But Plan PIVE means car-owners can benefit from discounts of up to 3,000 euros for trading in their old vehicles as scrap –but only until 31st July, when the scheme is set to be chopped!

AS the holiday season gets into full swing, the AA has carried out a survey. It highlights that nearly half of travellers (48%) rely entirely on cash in the currency of their holiday destination, taken out before they travel.

Yet only 3% of those questioned say they use pre-paid currency cards, which have been hailed as the “new currency” for holiday-makers. The findings also showed that a quarter (23%) pay for what they need using their debit or credit cards, while another 14% use cash they obtain from ATMs while away.

The use of traveller’ cheques appears to be declining, with only 8% using them. Yet the use of secure, pre-paid cards appears to have been slow to catch on.

Mark Huggins, director of AA Financial Services, is surprised at the number who rely entirely on cash for their holiday spending.

“This really is the most risky way of taking your money,” he says. ”It opens you up to organised pickpockets and opportunistic thieves, as well as accidental loss, which could make life difficult for your remaining holiday.

“What’s more, if you do lose money you’ll find that your travel insurance is likely to have strict limits on claims for loss of cash - and some may not cover this at all.”

Mr Huggins points out that while using debit or credit cards is secure and easy, their use could carry high transaction charges, both for taking out cash from an ATM and for foreign exchange.

“It’s worth doing your homework first and checking what charges might apply if you do use conventional cards,” he says. “Clearly, depending on how much you spend, their use could land you with unwelcome, additional costs when you get home.”

The AA’s financial chief says that although pre-paid cards seem to be some way off becoming the first choice for travellers, they are the future of holiday money for savvy travellers.

That’s fine, but does anywhere here in Tenerife take these preloaded cash cards? If you actually do your research (in my humble opinion) they’re no different from a normal bank card.

In some places you may still get charged for using them; you still have to go to an ATM to use them and, overall, you can still lose them!

And, worse still, some providers may charge you if you don’t use them from one year to the next - i.e. your annual holiday!

Until next week…

What's On Badminton in Granadilla Throughout the summer Granadilla have organised a series of badminton sessions. On Mondays and Wednesdays at the Municipal Sports Hall, between 4.30-6.30pm and beach sessions will be taking place between 9am11am every Tuesday and Thursday on El Medano beach.

Sunblast Festival 3RD August From 3pm Three stages with the pick of the crop of DJs from the European and Ibiza scene. The Adeje event begins at 3pm and goes on until the wee small hours. Tickets start at 50 euros. For tickets go to http://sunblast.es/ Arona Summer Festival Saturday 17th August From 4pm The dance party at Antonio Dominguez Olympic Stadium in Las Americas is set to return this year on the 17th August with an even stronger line up. They’ve gathered their top line up from across the world with the likes of The Zombie Kids, DJ Dario, Michael Calfan, Redfoo and The Party Rock plus the best Tenerife DJ’s.

Tickets start at 40 euros and are available at http://www.aronasummerfestival.com/home

This Saturday (20th) El Medano converts in to a capital of tourism and sport with more than 30 activities taking place over ten hours.

From 10am until 8pm numerous activities are taking place at different points of the coastal town. It’s the fifth annual event this year organised by the municipality of Granadilla, Councillors for tourism and sport Nuria Delgado Hernández y Marcos

González Alonso, respectively.

The activities are open for all visitors, holidaymakers and tourists alike and many are free.

There are not just physical activities either; there will be wildlife walks and a turtle release. The objective of

the event is to highlight the diverse activities that are available in El Medano, making it popular with tourists.

Including prestigious events such as the World windsurfing Championship which will be held from the 3rd – 9th August in El Medano.

Spain must ease credit rules SPAIN has been given some urgent advice by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in an effort to help its economic recovery.

The Government has been told that the only way forward is to lift its restrictions on credit to small businesses and potential property-owners.

The IMF, a global institution, has called for Spanish banks to restrict dividend payments in cash to its shareholders only - in order to build up their capital, and to ensure finance “flows in the national economy”.

Page 6

This, says the IMF, will enable businesses to recover and individuals to buy from the huge stock of unoccupied properties available in Spain - and Tenerife - at rockbottom prices.

Experts say the housing market will not pick up until the hundreds of thousands of unsold homes - both new-builds which have never been lived in, and repossessions - are purchased. They are available at prices vastly lower than even 10 years ago, but intended buyers need mortgages - and firms seeking to

invest in property also need loans to be able to do so, says the IFM. The IMF board, while carrying out its third analysis of Spain’s financial reform, believes that a lack of available credit is sinking the country’s economy. And it recommends paying part of staff’s wages or bonuses in shares, since this will encourage them to work actively for the success of the business.

Additionally, the IMF says banks should be made to bear their own costs of their shares having plummeted, rather than expecting share-

holders to lose most of their investment.

It has praised plans within the financial reform to ensure suppliers are paid off as quickly as possible, since this will improve their solvency.

All banks undergoing the capital “stress test” have shown that their asset levels exceed the minimum 9% required, confirms the IMF. It ends by predicting the Spanish economy will shrink by a further 1.6% this year and will stay on an even keel next year, with zero growth but no reduction.

Spain’s apology to Bolivian President EVO MORALES, the President of Bolivia, has received a written apology from Spain for its “regrettable behaviour”.

The President was held up for 13 hours at Vienna airport more than two weeks ago as Spanish embassy officials inspected his plane, amid suspicions that US whistle-blower Edward Snowden was on board.

At the same time, France, Italy and Portugal refused to let him land in their countries, or cross their air-space.

Electric price surge

Ángel Vázquez, Spanish ambassador in the Bolivian capital of La Paz, “disappointed” by Alberto Carnero - his counterpart in Vienna - delivered the letter of apology to Morales’ office by hand.

It says: “We regret these events and should like to present our apologies. This incident was inappropriate and upset the President, as well as placing a Head of State in a difficult and embarrassing situation.”

The letter concludes that Spain hopes the matter will now be closed and that its excellent bilateral relations with Bolivia will continue as previously.

ELECTRICITY bills are once again set to increase by an average of 2.50 euros per month following government approval of a 3.2-percent hike, according to FACUA-Consumers in Action.

According to the association, Spanish households spend 75.72 euros monthly on power.

In total this means that electricity will have increased by eight per cent since January 2012.

Spokesman for FAC-

UA Rubén Sánchez says the price increase ‘is not going to solve the problem’ of the electricity supply deficit, and criticises the fact that the government-owned supplier Iberdrola effectively has a monopoly which means consumers are unable to shop around.

Sánchez says electricity tariffs should be better regulated to avoid the ‘habitual price increases’ which come with the quarterly ‘auc-

tions’ for the power board franchise. He added that consumers are having to pay for the electricity board’s ‘bad management’.

Customers ‘did not create the deficit’ and should not be the ones to have to suffer for repairing it, the FACUA spokesman states.

The association has been calling for an audit of costs passed onto the consumer, similar to the UK, but this has been rejected by the Spanish government.

Helping the needy The Canarian Red Cross has reported that nearly 30,000 people have been helped by their social welfare programmes during the first half of 2013 and are warning that the number of people below the poverty line continues to increase.

Page 8

The increase amounts to 33 percent compared to last year, with many of those coming for aid being new users and who were, until recently, in a secure family and employment situation.

So far this year they have helped around 4,000 families who are directly affected by the crisis.

They also provide basic assistance to more than 128 poor people delivering breakfast bags every morning.

They also provide a school breakfast service to a total of 1,131 children in 46 schools throughout Tenerife.a The day Centre in La Laguna helps 330 users alone. The projects are manned with the help of some 8,000 volunteers who dedicate their time and support to the project.

THE entire world was still holding its breath last night (Thursday) as the Duchess of Cambridge awaited the arrival of her first child.

And as we went to print, there was speculation that the Duchess, thought to have passed her due date, could even give birth at Reading’s Royal Berkshire Hospital, where she was born.

She has been staying with Prince William at her parents’ home in Bucklebury, Berkshire - just 30 minutes away from Reading - this week.

Royal aides have confirmed that while Kate intends to have her baby in the private Lindo Wing of St Mary’s in Paddington, a contingency plan for a birth at the Reading hospital remains in place.

Worldwide media men and women - reporters, photographers and

camera crews - from Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, Japan and China, have been camped outside St Mary’s since 1st July in anticipation of the couple’s first child who, regardless of it's gender, will be third-in-line to the throne.

Chained-up ladders galore signify the multitude of snappers in the press enclosure, all vying for the best possible position to obtain the first pictures of the royal couple and the latest addition to the Royal Family.

They won’t be particularly happy if they have to make a mad

dash to Reading, but one concerned woman will be absolutely delighted.

A smiling Queen, soon to be a greatgrandmother again, told a young schoolgirl during a visit to Cumbria on Wednesday: “I hope it comes soon because I’m going on holiday!”

Should the Duchess give birth at the Royal Berkshire, she would have to spend her first night with her baby on a public ward, sharing with other mothers, because the hospital does not have a private maternity wing.

A royal source said: “There are contingencies in place for wherever the Duchess happens to be, and one of them is the Royal Berkshire.

The official date for the birth is “mid-July”, and frustrated Palace officials have long since stopped responded to telephone calls inquiring whether each ambulance turning into the hospital holds the royal mum-to-be.

They plan to sneak

31-year-old Kate into the hospital’s private Lindo Wing - where Prince William was born - via a back door, away from the press hordes, when the time comes.

Unless, of course, the contingency plans are put into operation.

It really has become a global event in the making, especially in the United States, where the Washington Post has already described the child as the “world’s most famous baby”.

And Francis D’Souza, a TV anchorman and reporter from CityNews in Toronto, told Reuters: “For us, it’s nice to be at the front seat of any historic moment.

“Canadians love the royals - and especially love this couple. They’re not old and stodgy and stuffy.”

The royal couple are adamant they do not know the baby’s sex, But bookmakers expect a girl and have made Alexandra the favourite name, followed by Charlotte, Diana and Elizabeth. George and James are hotly tipped if it is a boy.

Crime figures are slashed THE estimated number of crimes committed in England and Wales in the year up to March 2013 are the lowest recorded since records began in 1981.

The 8.6 million, announced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), sees a 9% decrease compared with last year And overall, crime figures are now running at half the level of when they peaked in 1995.

Recorded crime is also down, police reporting 3.7 million offences in the same period, which

is a drop of 7% against the previous year.

U n s u r p r i s i n g l y, though, in these austere days, fraud is up by 27%, with over 250,000 offences recorded.

Theft from the person - pickpocketing and snatch crime, such as stealing a mobile phone - is up by 9%.

The 2% rise in the number of rapes recorded by police past year is thought to be linked to the knock-on effect of the high-profile Jimmy Savile investigation, says the ONS. The overall figures, showing drops in many categories despite the decreasing number of police officers, have been welcomed by the Government.

Prime Minister Da-

vid Cameron hailed the figures as “good news”, and added during his visit to Hammersmith Police Station in west London yesterday (Thursday): “We should congratulate the police.

“As a government, we’ve asked them to do more with less resources, and they performed magnificently.

“I think, also, that all the work that’s gone into crime prevention has made a difference, too. This is good news.

Britain is getting safer, as well as stronger.”

Home Secretary Theresa May praised the police forces but also her own government, which, she said, had “played its part by slashing red tape and scrapping targets to en-

able the police to focus on crime fighting”.

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said: “It’s one of the great triumphs of recent years that we’ve seen crime come down.”

The statistics also show that firearm offences have dropped by 15% in year ending March 2013, continuing to fall since their peak in the 2005-2006 period.

Offences that involved a knife or sharp instrument decreased by 15% compared with the previous year.

Yet the number of police officers in England and Wales has dropped for the fourth consecutive year - by 3.4% (4,516) - taking the total to its lowest level since 2002.

Reasons for rejections...

Vietnam’s eyeing up a Big Mac McDONALD’S opens its first restaurant in Vietnam next year - demonstrating, perhaps, that it really is who you know and not what you know.

The legendary American fast-food firm has granted a franchise to Henry Nguyen, son-inlaw of the communist country’s Prime Minister, Nguyen Tan Dung.

The worldwide company plans to open in Ho Chi Minh City - the southern business hub - in early 2014 after bestowing the title of “developmental licensee” on businessman Nguyen.

Dave Hoffmann, president of McDonald’s Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa region, said: “As we grow our presence in the Asia region, we are looking for partners with a blend of strong business acumen, and a unique understanding of our brand.”

Henry, also known as Nguyen Bao Hoang, flipped burgers for McDonald’s while growing up in America - to where his family fled in 1975 at the end of the US-led Vietnam war.

He returned to his native country more than a decade ago ago and now works at venture capital group IDG Ventures Vietnam.

Mr Nguyen said: “I have dreamed of one day opening a McDonald’s restaurant in my native country, ever

Page 12

since my return.”

Fast-food giants such as KFC, Burger King, Subway and Pizza Hut already have restaurants in Vietnam, alongside dozens of local chains.

Starbucks opened its first store in Ho Chi Minh City, previously called Saigon, in February, and it has proved to be a big hit with Vietnamese youngsters, who are happy to queue for its Western-style lattes and frappes.

McDonald’s entry into the Vietnamese market highlights the attractiveness of the 90-million-or-so population - and rapidlyexpanding middle class - despite the country’s current economic slowdown and lingering banking crisis.

Although US food and drinks, including other iconic brands such as Coca-Cola, were available in South Vietnam until the end of the war, the companies pulled out after the communist victory, which paved the way for the country’s unification in 1975.

Coca-Cola re-entered the Vietnamese market after a renewal of ties with the US in the Nineties, although the company is currently subject to a consumer boycott locally over alleged tax avoidance.

McDonald’s has more than 34,500 locations, across more than 100 countries, and Vietnam will be the 38th Asia Pacific nation to feature its outlets.

As the Financial Conduct Authority announces more investigations in its review of the insurance market, new Which? research reveals some common reasons why insurance claims are rejected.

Which? surveyed 4,800 members with car or home insurance and looked at policies from 10 car insurers and 10 home insurers commonly used by Which? members: More than one in 10 (12%) who made a home insurance claim, and one in 20 (5%) who made a car insurance claim, had it fully or partly rejected.

All of the home insurance policies include a requirement for the property to be kept in good condition,

but none of the insurers explained what this meant. One member said that their insurer had refused a claim because they had not regrouted their bathroom tiles every year.

If you want to replace a lost, stolen or damaged item you normally need to provide proof of ownership, but some insurers take this to the extreme, for example members told us their insurer would not pay for freezer contents without a receipt.

Seven of the home insurers say you must

report any accidental loss to the police or you won’t be covered. The other three won’t cover you for accidental loss outside the home if you haven’t reported the items to the police.

They saw many cases where car insurers have settled claims 50/50 even where the driver believes they have strong evidence that a car accident was not their fault, meaning they will have to pay an excess and may lose their no-claims bonus.

Of the general insurance complaints made to the Financial

Ombudsman Service, 64% are about claims not being handled satisfactorily, and around half (51%) are upheld in favour of the policy holder.

Which? executive director, Richard Lloyd, said: “We found examples of home insurance claims being rejected for some spurious reasons, and consumers unhappy with way their claim was handled. While most claims are accepted and paid out in full, a minority are not, and if your claim is rejected it could prove costly.

“As part of their review, the Financial Conduct Authority should look closely at home and car insurance to make sure insurers are not relying on exclusions buried in the small print to reject legitimate claims.

If you’re unhappy with your settlement you should complain to the Financial Ombudsman.”

INDIA’S MAMMOTH TELEGRAM FINALE THERE was a final flurry of telegrams throughout India on Sunday before the service was closed down after 162 years.

Thousands of Indians crammed into the country’s 75 remaining telegram offices to send souvenir, keepsake messages - until the 10pm cut-off point.

It signalled farewell to the world’s last major commercial telegram operation - the end of a service which, for many years, provided millions with a fast, reliable mode of communication.

The system, generally known as the “Taar”, or wire, came to a full stop because of its mounting

financial losses.

In the days before the Internet, emails, reliable landlines and ubiquitous mobile phones, the telegram network was the main form of long-distance communication.

At its peak in 1985, the state-run utility sent

600,000 telegrams a day across India. But the figure had dwindled to 5,000, said Mr Akhtar, most of them being fired off from government departments.

In other words, the service had been rendered redundant in today’s high-tech age.

The Central Telegraph Office in New Delhi was prepared for Sunday’s anticipated rush, and Shameem Akhtar, a leading official in the state-run telecommunications company, said it had increased staff at all telegram offices over the weekend.

And leave for the remaining 1,000 staff was cancelled in a bid to handle the volume of messages.

The telegrams, costing a minimum of 29

rupees (£0.32), were hand-delivered by the company’s bike-riding messengers.

Joggers, housewives and students were among those sending messages to loved ones on Sunday before the service was cut.

Many people were seen making calls on their mobile phones to get the postal addresses of their friends, so they could send a final dispatch.

Ranjana Das, in charge of transmitting the telegrams, said: “I have never seen such a rush before. Some people were sending 20 telegrams in one go.”

One five-word telegram, sent from the New Delhi centre summed up the change. It read: “The End of an Era.”

95th Mandela milestone NELSON MANDELA, seemingly at death’s doorstep two weeks ago, was 95th yesterday (Thursday) - and the world celebrated!

And as the world celebrated, his family insisted the great South African freedom fighter was making “remarkable” progress after spending the last 42 days in a Pretoria hospital with a lung infection.

To mark his 67 years of public service, South African biker gangs cleaned streets, volunteers painted schools and politicians spent 67 minutes on “worthy” projects.

Children in schools around the country started the day by singing “Happy Birthday” to Mr Mandela, on a day which also recorded his 15 years of marriage to third wife Graca Machel.

The UN declared the Nobel peace laureate’s birthday “Mandela Day” in 2010, but for many this year it takes on extra poignancy.

He was admitted to hospital with a recur-

ring lung infection, and has since been in a critical but stable condition.

Mr Mandela’s youngest daughter told Sky News her father has been able to communicate and watch television.

“He is making remarkable progress,” said Zindzi Mandela. When she visited him on Tuesday he was “watching TV with his headphones on”.

Zindzi added: “He responds very well … with his eyes, and he nods and sometimes he lifts his hand, like, to shake your hand.”

American President Barack Obama urged people to honour Mr Mandela on his birthday “through individual and collective acts of service”.

He added: “Through our own lives, by heeding his example, we can honour the man who showed his own people and the world - the path to justice, equality and freedom.”

The South African Government hosted a ceremony for the sym-

19th July - 25th July 2013

bolic handing-over of Mr Mandela’s new hightech ID card, which was received by Zindzi.

The event was extremely telling in a country where apartheid was enforced by pass books. Black citizens were forced to carry them and the books limited movement to certain areas at certain times.

South African President Jacob Zuma said, using Mr Mandela’s clan name: “On behalf of the Government and all the people of South Africa, we wish

Madiba a joyous 95th birthday.

“We are proud to call this international icon our own as South Africans, and wish him good health. We thank all our people for supporting Madiba throughout the hospitalisation with undying love and compassion.

“We also thank all for responding to the call to give Madiba the biggest birthday celebration ever this year.”

A group of young South African artists and designers unveiled a poster project to cel-

ebrate Mr Mandela’s life through paintings and posters.

The group whittled down 700 posters - submitted by designers from more than 70 countries - to 95 for each year of Mr Mandela’s life.

A single special edition of the posters was being auctioned off to raise money for a proposed children’s hospital, to be named after the statesman, said the group.

“He carries across this concept of humanity and selflessness,” said Mohammed Jogie, a co-

founder of the project.

Elsewhere world leaders, pop stars and companies pledged their support for Mr Mandela.

In the UK, entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson said: I will also be giving my 67 minutes to make the world a better place, one small step at a time.”

Another birthday celebration took place in Birchington, near Margate, Kent, where a giant portrait of Mr Mandela’s face was etched into the countryside.

The two-acre maze, in corn crops, was the idea of Karen Botha and Dawn Tilley, who spent five years working on the design.

Meanwhile, 50 abandoned street children in the Philippines toured a Manila television studio and saw performances by local artists.

The Australian city of Melbourne will hold a concert featuring local and African artists at the weekend, while a music festival later this year in Norway will promote equality in schools.

Aggressive Swinton fined £7m BRITISH High street insurance group Swinton has been hammered with a £7m-plus fine for mis-selling products to consumers.

The company’s aggressive sales strategy led to a failure to treat customers fairly in its telephone sales of monthly, addon insurance policies, according to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) It said that in a twoyear period from April 2010, Swinton sold personal accident, home emergency and motor breakdown policies, which during the relevant period generated an income for accounting purposes of £92.9m.

The FCA said Swinton did not provide enough information to customers about the key terms of the policies, and it also failed to monitor its sales calls properly.

Swinton set aside £11.2 million to repay those customers who were

mis-sold, of which £1.9 million has already been paid out.

The FCA says the insurance firm has contacted over 650,000 customers it believes may have been affected.

Swinton has over 500 branches across the UK, employs more

than 3,000 people and has been operating for six decades. It was incorporated in 1963 and now processes more than 2.5 million policies a year.

The City watchdog said any policy-holders who believe they bought monthly cover

as a result of mis-selling should contact Swinton directly.

Tracey McDermott, FCA director of enforcement and financial crime, said: “Swinton failed its customers.

When selling monthly add-on policies, Swinton did

not place the consumer at the heart of its business. Instead, it prioritised profit.

“At the FCA, we have been clear in our expectation that firms must behave in the interests of consumers.

“This outcome shows our approach in action, and it will act as a deterrent for other firms tempted to put profit figures above the fair treatment of customers.”

The FCA found Swinton did not explain the cover clearly enough, or tell customers that the monthly policies were optional and separate from other core insurance products.

It also failed to give enough information about the terms of the policy, including the conditions and limitations, and cancellation process.

The nature of the failings, particularly poor sales scripts, meant that every sale could have been a missale, said the FCA. In response to the ruling, Swinton chief executive Christophe Bardet apologised for the company’s

be able to honour my commitments to the play.

“But having toured many times before, I’m aware of the sheer stamina needed and I need to prioritise my recovery. But nothing’s going to stop me coming back next year, and I can’t wait to be a Passionate woman.

Back in April, Bellingham, her husband Michael Pattemore and their Virtual Property World company, of which they are directors, brought a High Court libel action against Darren Richards, a well-known Tenerife character.

It was headline news throughout Fleet Street, but the case was settled through mediation without even reaching court.

Richards apologised for his faux pas, and agreed

to pay court costs.

Bellingham starred in the Oxo adverts, which ran from 1983 to

1999, as the mother of a squabbling family.

Her acting roles have included parts in All

Creatures Great And Small and the sitcom Second Thoughts, which began on BBC

procedural policies.

Mr Bardet said: “We apologise for these shortcomings.

They were not compatible with the proud history of Swinton, which since 1957 has been providing peace of mind to people through insurance cover.

“Our focus is now to deliver on our promise of insurance with a personal touch.

Swinton is embarking on a £60m investment in growth, which puts the customer at the heart of everything we do.”

The company’s website says its customer-service team aims to resolve general complaints within 20 days.

The £7.38m fine reflects the number of issues raised, and their seriousness, during the investigation, according to the FCA. The fine was reduced from £10.54m, with a 30% discount applied as Swinton settled at an early stage in the FCA’s investigation.

In 2009, Swinton was ordered to offer refunds to 350,000 customers over mis-selling of payment-protection insurance.

Radio 4 in 1988 before transferring to ITV. She also presents ITV series Country House Sunday and was a regular panellist on the Loose Women talk show for a period.

The actress, who appeared as a Strictly Come Dancing contestant four years ago, has been a high-profile supporter of Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support since her sister Barbara died from lung cancer. Daniel Evans, Sheffield Theatre’s artistic director, said: “A Passionate Woman is an extraordinary play about an extraordinary woman, and that woman is Lynda Bellingham.

“She is the heart of this production, and it’s inconceivable that we would do it without her.”

‘Oxo’ ad star has cancer ACTRESS Lynda Bellingham, embroiled in a High Court action against a Tenerife entrepreneur earlier this year, has been diagnosed with cancer.

The 65-year-old, known mainly for her part in the TV Oxo adverts and, latterly, on ITV’s Loose Women, has postponed a theatre tour.

No further details of her illness have been given, but she has pledged: “Nothing’s going to stop me coming back next year.”

The mother of two, who should have started a tour of Kay Mellor’s A Passionate Woman in Sheffield in September, said in a statement: “I’m devastated not to

Class of its own!

CHILDREN from the summer vacation camp in Vilaflor will be making an educational visit to the refuge today (Friday) for the first time.

Staff will demonstrate the day-to-day running of the sanctuary, as well as teaching them how to care for the dogs.

They will also have an opportunity to play with some of the many puppies and dogs, who will undoubtedly enjoy the company!

Next month, Accion will welcome a 12-strong group of pupils from Germany, and they will spend part of their time at the refuge being taught all about animal welfare in a foreign country.

It should be a good learning curve for the youngsters, who are all thinking about having

Accion del Sol news

a career with animals when they complete their education.

Accion del Sol’s regular educational programme, aimed at schoolchildren and students of all levels, is becoming extremely popular with more and more schools and colleges, who are requesting visits.

Hopefully, the animals’ lives will be greatly improved by the children, who should have a better knowledge and understanding of their pets’ needs.

Marion Köpke De Gonzälez, who runs Accion del Sol - a centre for animal protection and the environment of Tenerife - reminds everybody that the refuge works solely with authorised municipalities Granadilla, Arona and Guia de Isora, and that dogs can be brought to the refuge only by Pro-

tection Civil, or police with the necessary documentation.

If you come across a stray dog in those municipalities, then follow the correct procedure and call 112. The local police will inform Protection Civil to collect the poor animal and take it to Accion del Sol, where the dog will receive immediate medical care/treatment.

It will also be de-fleed, wormed, castrated/ sterilised and microchipped, together with having the necessary injections, including rabies, and will be passported.

If the dog is microchipped, the owner will be contacted and the dog returned. If the owner is reluctant to take it back, he or she will be prosecuted if the dog has been abandoned or ill-treated.

So if you really want to help the situation in Tenerife, then we all need to work in the legally-correct way.

Please remember: never leave your dog in a parked car now that summer is here.

Temperatures can reach over 150F (66 C), and heat-stroke, or even death, can result very quickly.

It is a basic belief by drivers that leaving a window partly open will eliminate problems with heat. It won’t!

The common signs of heat stroke are: *rapid panting *twitching muscles *hot skin *dazed look If any of these symptoms occur, you should seek veterinary assistance immediately.

But you should first cool the dog by using cold water, either with towels soaked in cool (not cold) water, using a hose, or even a cool bath.

Make sure there is plenty of ventilation.

Ice packs or cool towels should be applied to the dog’s chest, neck and head areas only.

You can give your pet sips of cool water or a few licks of an ice cube – and remember that a trip to the vet could save your dog’s life.

Avoid walking or leaving your dog on hot surfaces such as pavements, asphalt or sand. These tend to reflect heat, and may also burn the paws. It is better to walk your dog early morning or late evening to avoid the hottest parts of the day.

Please call 922 778 630 for more information, or if you would like to help out in any way at the refuge.

Unwanted towels and

blankets are always needed for the dogs, who really would appreciate them.

Accion del Sol, open Monday - Friday (36pm), is situated at junction 51 on the TF-1, next to the ITER ecological wind farm on the Granadilla Industrial Estate.

We are always looking for new supporters, so why not join our Accion Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/home. php?ref=canvas#!/ profile .php?id= 100000729042460 There are daily updates on the good work done at the refuge, as well as details of our fund-raising events.

Are you happier living overseas?

A chance to win £1,000 by taking part in the world’s largest survey of expats CALLING all expatriates of any nationality - have you moved overseas for a better quality of life for your family?

Perhaps you are pursuing a career opportunity, or simply a change of scenery to the place you have always adored.

We really want to hear from you, and this is the opportunity to make sure your voice is heard.

Whatever initiated your move The Expat Survey invites you to share your opinions on a variety of topics.

While there are the usual questions requiring you to tick boxes, the research study breaks away from convention and inquires about your experience.

Have your expectations been fulfilled?

What do you miss about home? Have you any tips and advice for others contemplating a move to a new continent?

Your input will make a valuable contribution to understanding how those residing outside their country of origin can be supported, so that organisations and companies specialising in servicing expat communities and individuals can understand their needs better.

In a world of rapid change and volatile economies, with the diversification and consolidation of businesses resulting in employment instability and mounting stress, many have chosen to move overseas in the belief that the grass is greener on the other side.

For some it is a permanent move, and for others temporary. In many

Page 20

cases, people have moved for a life-style change, while for others there has been no choice.

Whether it has proved to be the best or worst decision you’ve ever made, your feedback is essential.

The Expat Survey is the largest, independent, research study ever undertaken on migration and expatriate life.

Led by the former head of research for BBC World, it does not share any information with third parties and has no links to Governments whatsoever.

It is entirely independent and promoted - but not sponsored - by almost 100 publishers and reputable companies servicing expatriates around the world, such as international accountancy firm Chantrey Vellacott DFK, and specialist expat insurance company Clements Worldwide.

Conducted as an annual rolling programme, the study comprises three surveys: Migration & Lifestyle (start date 15th July), Retail & Finance (start date 10th September) and Travel & Health (start date 5th November).

While the main thrust of each survey lasts eight weeks, all surveys will remain live until 31st December, so that a continual collection of responses takes place.

Those who complete all three surveys are automatically entered into a prize draw to win £1,000, which you can opt to donate to charity if you wish.

Please go to www.theexpatsurvey.com to find out more and complete the first survey, which has now gone live.

Ryanair launches new aircraft ads!

It was only a matter of time… Ryanair announced on Wednesday that they are offering businesses across the world the chance to advertise their brand on their fleet of 303 Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

They’re promoting on the basis that the ads will reach millions of European passengers through Europe’s largest and cheapest outdoor advertising medium.

Currently there are over 1,600 flights per day, connecting 180 destinations in 29 countries, through over 1,600 routes and they will carry approximately (81.5m) international passengers this year.

Companies can have their brand featured on four different locations on the Ryanair aircraft, including on the inner and outer winglets,

front fuselage and rear fuselage, for a 12-month period, for a fraction of the price of a newspaper advert.

Ryanair’s Robin Kiely said: “Ryanair is Europe’s largest carrier, flying more

aircraft between more airports and carrying more international passengers than any other airline.

"And it’s not just low fares that we deliver as we’re now offering businesses the chance

to reach millions of consumers through livery advertising on our fleet of 303 Boeing aircraft, ensuring their brand is featured on Europe’s largest – and cheapest – outdoor advertising medium.”

EasyJet launch flight App EASYJET passengers can now access minute by minute updates about their flight thanks to a new Flight Tracker tool available at easyjet.com and on the easyJet app.

Flight Tracker allows customers jetting off on a summer holiday or business meeting to access live information about their flight up to 48 hours before departure and en route to the airport.

In addition to providing traditional departure and arrival information, Flight Tracker gives easyJet passengers supplementary information direct from its operation control centre at London Luton Airport. The system is believed to be an industry first, with no other airline offering

information en mass at an individual flight level. easyJet began trialling Flight Tracker in February 2013, since then nearly 3.5 million passengers have used it to access information about flights at: www. easyjet.com/en/flighttracker Peter Duffy, Marketing Director for easyJet, said: “Flight Tracker is a real innovation in the aviation world and is now available to all

easyJet passengers via our website, the easyJet app or their mobile device. It allows customers – and their friends and family – to gain peace of mind by checking the status of their flight en route to the airport or during periods of adverse weather or strike disruption.”

During the peak of summer Flight Tracker will monitor up to 214 easyJet aircraft as they take hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers across Europe, the Middle East and Russia. Updates can be added for one flight, all flights from a specific airport or every flight in a just a matter of seconds.

Peter added: “Whilst easyJet is one of Europe’s most on-time airlines, we know that in the rare instance when a flight is delayed keeping our passengers updated is crucial. Now easyJet customers can access live updates

direct from our control centre, explaining what action easyJet is taking and written by the people charged with ensuring they continue their journey safely and as soon as possible.

“Flight Tracker has already proved incredibly popular with our customers and in just five months it has received 5 million visits from nearly 3.5 million users. We’re pleased to now offer Flight Tracker to easyJet passengers across Europe via our website, mobile devices and our award winning app.”

Flight Tracker is now available on the easyJet app which also allows passengers to download mobile boarding passes to their phone.

19th July - 25th July 2013

It features stories of social media mishaps and takes you on a whistle stop tour around the UK to meet some of the people who got into hot water when they underestimated the power and reach of social networks.

The first story features Curtis a former English light welterweight champion boxer who, following online abuse from a troll, decided to live tweet his car journey to confront him.

The story went viral, but it all ended well as both agreed to shake hands on ITV breakfast show Daybreak.

The second story is about a young Essex lad, Jed, who decided to offer drugs online for a joke. He didn’t realise that one person who got in touch following his post was in fact an undercover reporter. A few weeks later he found himself splashed across the pages of the pages of a Sunday tabloid.

The third story is about Janey, a Scottish standup comedian, who on a train journey from Glasgow to London,

overhead a young couple having a blazing row on the train and decided to live tweet the whole exchange blow by blow. The story went global putting her at the centre of an international debate on privacy.

The fourth story is about a young man named Louis, a video blogger. He made his name with his ‘extreme eating’ online channel – Food for Louis - which involved his friends challenging him to eat a variety of insects bugs and roadkill. When he decided to eat his pet goldfish and post the video online he found he went too far and the RSPCA turned up at his door.

The fifth story features Jamie who was on trial

as part of a drug-related case. She was acquitted of the charges against her, but once back at home she received an inbox message from someone who turned out to be one of the jurors on the case. When this came to light, both found themselves back in court, making legal history along the way.

The sixth story features Sonny, a 12-year-old schoolboy who thought it might be fun to hitch a ride on his skateboard on the back of a 40 ton lorry as it sped through his local town. He was filmed whilst riding the lorry and his ‘prank’ was uploaded to the internet. The video went viral, attracting media attention and landing Sonny in trouble with his parents, and the police.

The seventh story is about a ‘Gangnam Style’ video parody, organised by the headmaster and entire teaching staff at the Mount Carmel school in Accrington in the North West. When it was posted online, it went viral and a local councillor was not

impressed and made his views clear to the local paper. The story went national and the school found itself at the centre of a media storm.

The eightH story features Sarah Jane, a Welsh mum, who took her then 4-monthold son to her eldest daughter Kerry’s live music gig. Whilst at the gig, someone took a photo of her and the baby and posted it online. This prompted a huge response and Sarah Jane found herself in the national press.

The ninth story features fashion blogger Poppy, who discovered that some of her innocent holiday snaps had been taken from a social media site and posted onto a US based porn site. When Poppy found out, she contacted the site, but had no response.

After researching her legal rights, she fought to get the pictures taken down through the host provider.

The tenth story features accountant, Paul. On discovering Robin Hood airport was closed due to heavy snow, he tweeted a misjudged joke about blowing up the airport in frustration. It was 140 characters that would change the course of his life. Paul ended up being arrested and taken to court. The case and subsequent appeals went on for almost two years.

Laura and Jamie are struggling to cope with the everyday challenges of raising their baby, so the last thing they need is a big family event. But the christening is looming and they are nowhere near ready for it. Mike is desperate to prove himself worthy of being a godfather, much to atheist Beth's irritation. Keith is forced to take temping work at the toy shop to help pay for the christening, but finds it hard to cope when he discovers his new supervisor is his son. All is not well with Laura's family either. Janet is trying to put a halt to the christening, which she feels will bring public shame on the family. Part of Laura would like the whole christening to go away too, but Jamie, under pressure from his family, is saying they can't back out. As the relatives arrive, squabble and criticise, Jamie and Laura are feeling the pressure and they haven't even managed to agree on a name yet.

Nigel Slater's Dish of the Day BBC1, 19:30

Nigel Slater returns with a new cookery series, in which he shows how - with a bit of culinary creativity - he turns the contents of his weekly shop into seven delicious dishes, one for every day of the week. Along the way, he proves that adding new flavours to everyday ingredients can make them sensational, shows how he makes the most of a glut or a special offer at the shops, and how to create culinary magic in just one pan.

Four Rooms Channel 4, 20:00

Members of the public attempt to sell their curious collectables for life-changing sums of money. Some of Britain's top wheeler dealers wait in four separate rooms, each prepared to spend their own personal fortunes if an item they desire comes through their door.

Each seller must remember the golden rule: if they turn down a deal, they can never return to that room. In this episode the four dealers - Alex Proud, Gordon Watson, Celia Sawyer and Johnny Elichaoff - are tempted by, among other things, a 16thcentury silver figure, a rare processional cross and a dress worn by a Lady Gaga waxwork.

Grand Designs Channel 4, 19:20

When Jonathan Belsey's marriage ended, he left the family home and bought a plot of land just down the road, on a mission to build a house that would be exciting to look at, cheap to run, and ecologically sound. He's a scientist and this will be the great experiment he's dreamt of.

By the time building begins he has met his new partner Lindsay, who he manages to convince to buy into his dream. The house will now be their first home together, with room for their combined family of four daughters. The design and construction is high risk. The mix of untested technology and uncompromising use of materials means a constant battle between comfort and ideology.

The house will be carbon neutral, heated only by the sun, with power supplied by a massive wind turbine. Jonathan and Lindsay's build is a battle, with technologies that don't work, a design that's uncompromising, and a budget that runs out far too quickly.

But with every penny sunk into it, this house has to work.

Zac Efron takes the title role in this supernatural romantic fantasy from director Burr Steers. Life is looking good for teenager Charlie St Cloud: in spite of his relatively humble origins, his competitive yachting career is progressing nicely and he has just gained acceptance to an Ivy League School.

But all this good stuff is destroyed in an instant when his brother Sam is killed in a car crash. Charlie turns his back on the world and takes a job in the cemetery where Sam is buried.

It's here that the supernatural element kicks in, as Charlie can see and interact with the spirits of the dead, which means he can continue to spend time with his beloved sibling. But Charlie's world isn't entirely ethereal and, when he falls for his former classmate - and sailing equal Tess Carroll, he finds himself forced to choose between his love for Tess and that for Sam, between the living and the dead.

BBC and BT Sport claim FA Cup rights 2014-18

The BBC and BT Sport have secured a four-year shared rights deal that will see both broadcasters become home to The FA Cup from 2014.

The Football Association, marking its 150th anniversary this year, confirmed the deal in a joint announcement at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday. It will see the return of the most romantic club competition in world football free to view on BBC One and on BT Sport.

Led by Gary Lineker, the BBC’s programming will bring together the tradition and heritage of The Cup with the technological innovation BBC audiences have come to expect. All of the action will be available on TV, online, mobile and tablet with live streaming across all devices allowing audiences to capture every moment of the journey.

Combined with a raft of support programming and a top-name presentation team, The FA Cup will become an integral part of the BBC One schedule.

Jake Humphrey will lead BT Sport’s coverage from the company’s ground-breaking new studios in the Queen Elizabeth Park, Stratford. BT Sport is already due to show live matches from The FA Cup in the 2013-14 season along with live Barclays Premier League matches and a range of top class football from top tier leagues across the world. BBC Director-General Tony Hall says: “Bringing the FA Cup back to the BBC was something I really wanted to do and I am so pleased that we have achieved it for football fans everywhere.

“There is something very special about big national moments on the BBC, and the FA Cup should absolutely be one of them.

“Working closely with the FA, I believe we will change the way we view the FA Cup forever.”

Gavin Patterson, CEO, BT Retail, says: “BT Sport made a determined joint bid to retain The FA Cup rights because we believe it is one of the truly great club football competitions. “We are thrilled to bring our viewers the incredible stories of passion, and victories against all odds, that pepper the history of the competition.

These include Leeds United being humbled by Second Division Sunderland in the 1973 final, right up to May this year, when unfancied Wigan Athletic defeated Manchester City at Wembley.

It’s a general knowledge marathon that needs not only great general knowledge, they also need a cool head so that they can answer questions against the clock as the twisters run out of time.”

Julia continues: “Players will also need to use their wits to work out one another’s strengths and weaknesses, because they are also given the opportunity to twist questions they don’t like on to another player. Get the twist wrong and they can lose control of the game.”

Would Julia fancy her chances if she were to swap places with the contestants?

“I’d be absolutely rubbish!’ laughs Julia, ‘I have reasonable general knowledge but in those circumstances and under that sort of pressure I think I’d crumble. I’m much happier controlling things as the host. That’s the kind of pressure I thrive under.”

Though if she did give it a go, Julia says that her strongest subject would be travel.

“Having spent so much time travelling the world, and most recently the UK with Countryfile, I feel like I have a greater than average insight on British locations.”

And her weaker subjects?

“Anything to do with football. I am clueless!”

And why should people tune in to Take on the Twisters?

“The contestants make the show and every episode is full of drama. Once you see it play out it becomes very addictive and people will be screaming at their televisions thinking that they know the answers, and I’m sure they will be tempted to Take on the Twisters themselves.”

“Every show is a roller-coaster for me because we have no idea whether or not the contestant will walk away with the money, and my heart is in my mouth!”

Julia Bradbury, Dr Phil Hammond and Phil Tufnell host the first of two shows to be shown tonight, raising awareness of three of Britain’s biggest preventable conditions – Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and liver disease - which affect an estimated 11 million people a year.

In May this year, the show organised the UK’s biggest ever combined health screening at Rugby League’s Magic Weekend in Manchester.

Almost 400 locals and sports fans were screened to see if they were at risk from one of these three ‘silent’ killers. A team of three GPs, 50 NHS volunteer nurses, with the aid of leading charities Diabetes UK, HEART UK – The Cholesterol Charity and the British Liver Trust, helped to give advice about how to reduce the risk of developing these chronic conditions.

Some well-known TV personalities were also screened a few weeks ahead of the main event in Manchester. Long Live Britain follows the progress of former Eastender Ricky Grover, singer Jodie Prenger and actress Crissy Rock as they undergo a number of medical tests. Dr Phil Hammond helps Ricky to understand what his liver has to do to process fatty food, shows Jodie what happens if the body can’t absorb sugar from the blood stream, and teaches Crissy about good and bad cholesterol. And as the three get their test results, some of them are in for some shocking news.

With an estimated 850,000 adults living with undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes, and deaths from liver disease having risen by 25 per cent in less than a decade, the results of tonight’s shows provide a timely wake-up call.

Chris has little knowledge about his mother's past, but knows that his sister was born in a remote Northumberland vicarage, and that is where he starts looking for clues. Polly Gillon is searching for her eldest son who she was forced to give up for adoption in 1959. Polly grew up with her father in South London in the 1950s and when he discovered she was pregnant, he forced her to make a heart-breaking decision. She was given the choice: give her baby up for adoption or never come home. With no one else to turn to, Polly finally accepted her father's terms and gave her baby up. She has spent a lifetime regretting this decision and is desperate to ask her son to forgive her.

Hunting the doorstep conmen ITV1, 21.00 “You just think how can these people pick on them? And it’s just not acceptable, it really sort of pulls at your heartstrings. You just want to do everything you can to find these people and punish them for what they’ve done.” - Natalie Hill, Oxfordshire Trading Standards This new two-part factual series delves into the murky world of rip-off merchants and those tasked with catching them by going behind the scenes with Britain’s trading standards departments.

Reporter Conor Woodman gets exclusive access to several doorstep crime teams from rural North Yorkshire to the urban sprawl of Bromley in London, to show the officers’ work at close quarters - and gain a sharp insight into how the conmen operate and the impact on their victims.

A total of £2 billion of goods and services are sold on our doorsteps every year and trading standards now have more powers and work closely with the police to protect the public from unscrupulous traders.

Made by Tiger Aspect and filmed over six months, this series features officers tracking down doorstep criminals, executing search warrants and dealing with elderly victims. Crime experts and police also outline the increasingly ruthless methods scammers use to outwit the authorities and carry out their ruses.

Steve Playle of Surrey trading standards says: “I’ve come across cases where people have actually signed over their properties to the rogues.

“They set up fake email addresses, fake websites, they use accommodation addresses and they use vehicles that aren’t registered to their name.”

Conor meets 85-year-old widow Kit Gardner and learns how Kit's dementia made her the target of a pair of crooks who repeatedly demanded payment for work they had not done. In York, Trading Standards Officer Matt Boxall tracked down 23-year-old Donovan Clough who charmed ladies by offering to clear their gutters for a fiver. He then invented a story of a rotting roof that would cost £2,500 to repair.

He was convicted and sentenced to four years. In Teesside, father and son Bernard and Barney Collins marched a frail old lady to a bank to withdraw all her money.

Thanks to CCTV, they were found guilty in May 2013 and now await sentence. In Oxfordshire, renowned scientist Dr Leslie Drain - who helped develop the technology for the MRI scanner - was conned out of £500,000 by Stephen Green and Clive Smith in a scam that lasted 19 years.

The Route Masters: Running London's Roads BBC2, 21:00

A million more people than anticipated have settled in London in the last decade and Transport for London predicts that there will be a further two million by 2030. Michele Dix, TfL's head of planning, sets about trying to get people out of cars and on to bikes and buses.

A police Cycle Task Force has been set up to encourage cycling, but it also cracks down on cyclists jumping red lights at Elephant and Castle.

Bernie drives the 343 bus route in South London, where passengers battle every day to board the city's most overcrowded bus. To try to keep the roads moving, CCTV cameras crack down on rulebreakers, with Graham watching out for cars sitting in yellow box junctions for too long and fines them. Meanwhile Chas from the Roads Policing Unit stakes out a notorious traffic jam which rogue motorists are trying to escape by going off-road, taking a shortcut across a grass verge. There is also a look at the secret supercomputer that controls many of the city's traffic lights.

In summer 2013, Tate Modern opens its doors to Africa, dedicating an entire wing to two of the most important artists working today: 82-year-old visionary modernist Ibrahim ElSalahi and contemporary freethinker Meschac Gaba. Writer and curator Morgan Quaintance discovers their extraordinary personal stories. Studying at the Slade in the 1950s, Ibrahim El-Salahi returned home with a crate full of modern art, to meet a stony faced public in Sudan. Reconciling the language of modernism with the culture of his heritage, he found a powerful new way to express the dreams and ambitions of African independence. It was to lead to imprisonment, exile and eventually freedom.

The keepers hope that seven-foot silverback gorilla Kumbuka will mate with female Mujuku, but initially the 15-year-old male seems only to want to enhance his reputation for being boisterous and breaking things. However, as the weeks go on, a tender relationship develops between them. Will it lead to mating? In the reptile house, keeper Iri has a fight on her hands between some Boelen's pythons, as two males battle it out for the attention of one female. Elsewhere there are tense moments as five endangered Vietnamese snails arrive, and almost nothing is known about how to care for them.

24 Hours in A&E Channel 4, 21.00

This week’s episode of the RTS award-winning 24 Hours in A&E focuses on the different ways that people deal with pain and how the care and support of friends and family can help you get through almost anything.

“I used to think that women were a little bit better at coping with pain than men, but actually I think it’s about the same,” says Sister Jen. “Some women, they’ve been through childbirth and so they have a different perception and realise that some of the worst pain in the world, they’ve actually survived and had a baby through. But there’s other women out there that, one little broken fingernail and they’re screaming like they’ve lost their finger. We’ve always got to remember that pain is what the patient says it is and we need to treat it accordingly.”

23-year-old motorcyclist Richard is rushed into A&E by helicopter, having collided with a parked car at speed. Flung through the air, he hit another car’s bonnet and a lamppost before landing face down on the pavement.

Series following the fortunes of properties facing a struggle for survival and their committed new owners wanting to turn historic ruins into dream homes. Charlotte and Helen have always dreamed of saving a neglected building steeped in history, and they certainly found one.

Sitting on a windswept hill in rolling farmland, Pitkennedy School in Angus was once the cornerstone of a community, until the school bell rang for the final time in 2006. As work begins, locals start to take notice of the school once again; while within the archives, voices of the first children and teachers start to be heard. A picture of rural 19thcentury life emerges and further research places this tiny school at the beginning of a revolution in education and school building that would change Britain forever. The new owners still face their biggest challenge - can these novices create a beautiful home from a neglected old Victorian school?

Crocodile Tears Channel 4, 22.00 In the light of several recent high-profile cases, this documentary examines the phenomenon of ‘: where people who feign innocence or make public appeals for information – often on camera – in reality have committed the crime themselves. Featuring several exclusive interviews and shedding new light on crimes that shocked the nation, this film looks beyond the fake tears to reveal stories of deception and betrayal.

Catching A Killer: Crocodile Tears re-examines the Philpott case, in which Mick and his wife Mairead, who took part in a press conference after their house fire killed six children, were finally convicted of their manslaughter in April 2013, along with their best friend Paul Mosley. With exclusive access to Paul Mosley’s brother Bryan, the film hears a tearful account of how residents were affected by the deaths of the six children.

Bryan speaks for the first time of his anger regarding the actions of his brother and his part in the arson attack.

Exploring the Philpotts’ now infamous press conference after the fire, Darshna Soni, who covered the story for Channel 4 News, goes back to the scene. This was the point, she says, where everything changed. She recalls in detail the utter bewilderment among the assembled press as they tried to comprehend Mick Philpott’s extraordinary performance in front of the cameras.

Dominic Littlewood investigates the conmen who defraud the general public. This episode follows the City of London police as they go in pursuit of one of the country's most audacious ID fraudsters, whose fakery is taking hundreds of thousands of pounds off the state. There is also a look at the fake baby carriers putting children's safety in jeopardy, and how one faker even compromised aircraft fire extinguishers.

Three of the UK's most renowned chefs are going back to catering college.

Tom Kitchin, Theo Randall and Michel Roux Jr are each looking for a young student to take under their wing. All week, Michelinstarred chef Tom Kitchin has been on a search for a student with promise that he can help rise to the challenge of being his apprentice.

He has spent time at his old catering college in Perth and from seven hopefuls he is now down to the best three. With bonds beginning to form, the students are invited to cook at Tom's Edinburgh restaurant.

Here they are each challenged to cook one of his signature dishes for a special lunch service attended by Tom's closest and most trusted restaurant colleagues.

Throwing them in at the deep end Tom has not chosen the simplest options on his menu, including a razor clam starter that cannot be cooked until the very last minute; a complex lamb main and a fresh but intricate dessert using seasonal fruit - there is a lot at stake for them to get it right.

Tonight, I’m gonna be…

WHAT’S NEW…

IT’S always difficult with a feature like this because new acts are “new” for just a short time. And “new” doesn’t mean new to the business but simply new to this circuit.

Micky Glamz, a new show to Tenerife, is making a good name for himself here.

He is no stranger to the industry, having worked as a singer/guitarist in showbands up and down the UK at holiday parks, clubs, hotels and corporate venues.

Micky worked in one of the biggest Seventies’ tribute bands in the UK and has supported the likes of Slade, T. Rex, the Bay City Rollers and The Sweet among others.

This vast experience, coupled with bucketloads of talent, has inspired him to create a solo show which captures all that is “Glam” about the Seventies.

Everyone knows the songs and the style, but the way this show is delivered with pace

and hit after hit demonstrates that Micky is definitely on to a winner. The Micky Glamz Glitz Blitz Show features Micky in costume, playing guitar and bringing that Seventies sound and atmosphere to any venue.

This is a brilliant show that hardly comes up for air. It’s a party show so it probably wouldn’t work in a care home for the elderly.

But this is Tenerife, where every night is a Saturday night, and a fun show like this will always work and do well.

Welcome to Tenerife Micky Glamz. You can book this show direct by calling (0034) 655 680 402 - and don’t forget your platforms!

THERE were at least 10 Elvis Tribute shows working on our circuit at one time, along with a handful of Neil Diamonds and always a few Rod Stewarts.

Tenerife has seen tribute shows to Cher, Madonna, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Michael Buble, Abba, George Michael, Tom Jones and Elton John.

Some have been very good at what they do and others …well let’s just say they tried and failed and are now back in the UK pricing up baked beans in Tesco.

Tribute acts are great crowd-pullers, and a good poster outside a bar can be very enticing.

For instance, if you are Michael Buble fan and you see that a Buble act is on in a bar, you will probably be intrigued and make plans to see the show.

Tribute artistes have a lot of pressure on them to be as much like the person they are honouring, and they will always be compared directly to that star.

That is a big pedestal to put oneself on: to

have the confidence in your ability to go out on the boards, night after night, and deliver a performance which the audience expect to be flawlessly-similar to the advertised tribute.

I love watching a good tribute act, and for all the reasons I have stated. We all love comparisons, especially within showbiz, and my favourite over the years has been Topazz and his tribute to Barry White.

There is no voice like the love doctor - unless, of course, you have seen Topazz. At 6ft 8ins, this man from Nashville, Tennessee, is a force to be reckoned with.

He has an extremely colourful background in the music industry, going back to the late Eighties and early

Nineties, Topazz toured with The Hitman & Her and even appeared on Top Of The Pops as the frontman with Bizznizz and their hit song Don’t Miss The Party Line.

As a young man, he would often hang out with Coolio and spent time in the studio with him during the recording of the massive hit Gangsta’s Paradise.

Topazz has been signed to some big labels over the years,

including the mighty EMI. He has a unique voice and, when he turns on the low tones of Barry White, people in the audience, (mainly women) just melt.

The combination of the American accent, his stage presence, the song choice and his sparkly stage attire is why this man is one of the most individual singers on this circuit - and extremely wellliked.

If you would like to see what the fuss is all about, then why not give this number a call? You will not regret getting Topazz on your entertainment bill.

Contact Topazz direct on (0034) 639 019 132.

Further interest in Topazz can be sought via on the website www.topazzmusic.com which features videos and links to his TOTP performance, and a selection of his original material. A real artiste of the highest calibre!

TRAMPS nightclub, in central Las Americas, has always been a busy place, but the last few weeks there have been absolutely fantastic.

The resident DJs are awesome, while and the visiting celebrity DJs are filling the place to maximum capacity every week.

Vernon Kay, who was back last night (Thursday), remains one of the biggest crowd-pullers of all the billed DJs. Last week also saw Tim Westwood’s first appearance of the summer, and he even ventured down to Leonardos Bar for the pre-party with Scott Page.

As always, Tim had the dance floor rocking all night. After talking to the manager, Olly, on Wednesday evening, he told me that hosting the big names was not the highlight of his year.

I completely understood when he showed me this photograph with the stunning Wallis Day, from Hollyoaks, wrapped all around him, and added: “This is why I love my job.”

The next “biggie” takes place tomorrow (Saturday), when MTV and The Valleys stars, Nat & Jordan, will be doing their thing in Tramps.

By Alex Ashton If you are a small business and a smart-phone owner, there are apps available to use regularly, maintaining your interests while on the move.

Mail, web-browsing, IM messaging are all pretty standard, but here are a few you might be missing out on. I have tested each one extensively and I’ve found the following apps to be fundamental.

These four apps help organise your thoughts and finances, and make marketing easier, even when you’re away from the computer or office.

Evernote (Free, iPhone/ iPad/Android/Mac/PC) EVERNOTE is the quintessential note-taking and storing app. It allows you to keep every thought you have written down, saved, and then organise it properly.

You can create different folders so your business and personal notes are kept separate, as well as tags for easy identification.

Newly-added: the app now features reminders that can be added on to each note you take, so you never forget to do exactly what you wrote down. Formatting text is easier than other text editors. Sharing to social networks is also directly integrated. So if you put together something that you’d like to share on your Twitter or Facebook page, you can do it directly from the app itself.

Mint (Free, iPhone / iPad / Android / Web) ARE your finances in a dilemma? No idea where your money is going?

Can’t understand your bank’s outdated web dashboard? Then Mint is for you.

Mint is a simple, secure application that connects directly with your bank account to monitor financial activity. It produces these nifty, straightforward charts and graphs, so you can visualise your business’ spending.

It really makes things crystal clear when it comes to tracking revenue and expenses.

Sure, your bank probably has a way of giving

Page 38

www.canarianweekly.com

The top four mobile apps are smartest you reports and showing what’s coming and going, but nothing like the ease of this, I can assure you.

Mint is widely-trusted among people and businesses to track their money, so it’s incredibly secure. You can even set up a pass lock before gaining access to the app. Just sign up, link your bank and Mint will start accounting for you.

With a much clearer view of how your money is being spent, you can fine-tune your budget and allocations to work better for your business. Expenses can be grouped into categories and allotted a monthly budget.

Going over this will prompt an alert, so you can keep a close eye on exactly what is happening with your money. The sleek design GUI also makes it a win-win.

Facebook Pages App JUST over six months ago, the main Facebook app wouldn’t have made it to this list. It took the developers at Facebook far too long to get the app right.

Not only was its design clunky for years, but it didn’t encourage users to keep using Facebook on their phones.

I doubt they truly realised the importance of this fact until it was completely updated and turned into the recent app we have today.

Right about the time of this re-design, they saw a big boost in mobile users. Today, a huge portion of their traffic comes from people using the app, and it’s pretty clear why.

Simply log in and add a post, picture, or video, and share away. The mobile-friendly nature of the app encourages business owners to keep their audiences in the loop, no matter where they are.

Events, news, or spontaneous updates now have no trouble being shared immediately from the app. You can moderate comments and permissions, just as you would on a PC. Monitor your business page(s), Insights, and use plenty of other helpful features,

making the management experience a piece of cake.

If you are contributor to a Facebook page for your small business, then get the app.

4. Gmail (iPhone/iPad/ Android/Web) NOT everyone uses Google’s email platform for his/her business, but it is still a contender. Personally, I have one Gmail account (generally used for sign-ups from which I may receive SPAM) and keep tabs on it using my smart-phone, so this app is essential.

Even if you just use Gmail for personal email, I would recommend trying this app out. It was completely redesigned not long ago and it seems to be very stable so far.

The design and layout is nearly flawless now, all free of charge. Plus, multiple account integration is a breeze.

If you didn’t know, for only £3.30 per month you can use Gmail as your mail provider with a specific domain address.

Your email can still remain examples@example.com but instead of using the regular client, you can use Gmail.

However, I would recommend this for entrepeneurs or freelancers only, That’s because I still prefer to keep my medium to enterprise business clients on the Microsoft Exchange platform for versatility and privacy.

I have never been sold on the thought of my clients’ mail sitting on GOOGLE’S servers, considering how large and easily influenced they are, but this ideology is less of a risk for just one person, or a few employees only.

So there you have it.

These are my four best smart phone apps for helping you run your small business.

Make small spaces big IKEA has launched a new campaign titled ‘Make Small Spaces Big’, which examines how space efficiency can improve your life at home.

The work continues the brand’s strategy to demonstrate an understanding of the everyday challenges that people face in their homes.

‘Make Small Spaces Big’, explores IKEA’s space-saving and multifunctional furniture and product ranges, and highlights a wide range of smart solutions for everyday space problems. The campaign is inspired by the fact that Britons live in the smallest homes in Europe - 15% smaller than anywhere else on the continent. Newlybuilt properties have declined in size by 11% in the last ten years and, according to research by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), a lack of space is one of the main reasons people consider moving home, however the current economic situation forces many to

make do with the space they have. The TV ad ‘One Room Paradise’ created by the agency Mother, is set in a doll’s house and introduces a single mother, ‘Mandy’, and her son, ‘Liam’, who live in a tiny, toy, highrise flat. The flat may be small but it doesn’t stop them from enjoying life.

The film follows mother and son through everyday life activities from cooking to skateboarding, and we see how the great IKEA products and solutions makes the most of their small space and showcases how you can make small spaces feel big.

The TV spot is edited from a full-length music video featuring a recording of the Aretha Franklin classic ‘One Room Paradise’. The track is performed by soul singer Elayna Boynton, who recently found fame singing on the soundtrack for Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained. The campaign also includes outdoor and press work, which illustrates how smart home furnishings from IKEA can help deliver

the most function from the smallest of spaces.

A guided tour of Mandy’s apartment in the style of MTV Cribs on YouTube allows viewers to see some of the IKEA space saving solutions in detail. The YouTube video is supported by digital display advertising.

Peter Wright, IKEA UK and Ireland Marketing Manager, said, “With the latest burst of our new brand campaign, it is our ambition to continue the revitalisation and transformation of IKEA brand in the UK and Ireland. ‘Make Small Spaces Big’ demonstrates IKEA’s understanding and expertise in helping people to optimize any space in their home, no matter how big or small, through the use of IKEA’s clever products and solutions.

We hope to inspire people and to show that we are more relevant than ever to help with consumers’ everyday challenges, and ultimately for more consumers to choose IKEA more often for their home furnishing needs.”

The XTRA FACTOR!

By Carl from Robot

Aspirin can kill cancer

C L I E N T S constantly ask me why they have dry hair, so I thought I’d go through a few factors that can make your hair dry without you even knowing it.

Many of you think, “Oh, my hair’s just dry naturally” without even realising that it can be put right with just a few changes to your haircare routine.

I call them “factors” - elements of your life that can have such a damaging effect on your hair.

Take, for instance, your average woman living here in Tenerife. She might think she looks after her hair and that she’s not subjecting it to too much damage.

Let’s say she has tinted hair and gets it cut regularly. But her hair is being abused by numerous elements and just the day-to-day aspects of her life.

For instance, she has it coloured - a drying factor – and she uses a hairdryer, which speaks for itself. Her hair is shoulder-length and so, is over three years old.

Another aspect is that she swims regularly and sunbathes, which are two more issues. She also works outside, and so has constant sun on it - and, now and again, she uses a hair iron.

Page 40

That’s SEVEN factors which dry her hair out - and this is someone who believes she cares for her hair.

For every drying aspect, you need to be replacing your moisture levels every day. As much as you take out, the more you should put back in.

Telling me that you don’t use a regular conditioner, and rarely use hair sun-screen, isn’t going to convince me that you care for your hair.

Once out of the salon, your hair-care is left to you and the advice given to you by your stylists. It’s up to you to take their advice and apply it to your

particular hair-care regime. Here in Tenerife we have blazing sun at the moment, and rarely do I see people covering their hair or applying a sun-screen, as they do to their skin.

If the sun is strong enough to burn your skin, then think what it’s doing to your hair.

Use a moisturising shampoo and conditioner, apply a masque at least once a week and please use some form of oil on your hair.

That will replace all that lost moisture you’re taking out of your hair on a daily basis.

This is basic hair-care advice … try your best to use it!

A REGULAR dose of aspirin has been hailed as an antidote to cancer - and a low-dose tablet, taken every other day, could save thousands of lives

And women who take the popular painkiller just four times a week are 42% less likely to get bowel cancer.

This remarkable fact has been unearthed in a long-term study the latest research on the benefits of the humble tablet for protecting against a host of killer cancers.

Aspirin, known as a “wonderdrug” anyway, and already taken daily by millions to ward off heart disease and stroke, looks increasingly to

be a powerful cancer weapon.

The latest study in the US shows that taking a low-dose tablet on alternate days really is beneficial to lowering cancer death rates.

The research results, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine journal, suggest that aspirin may be taken as a prophylactic (a preventative or defensive barrier), to help ward off cancer in the same way that it is prescribed to protect against heart disease.

American experts at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health, all in Boston, considered the long-term use of aspirin for reducing the risk for bowel cancer in healthy women.

From 1994 to 1996, a total of 38,876 females

aged 45-plus were randomly assigned to take 100mg of aspirin or a placebo every other day. The trial ended in 2004, with follow-ups to 2012.

The findings suggest aspirin may be taken as a prophylactic to help ward off cancer Researchers also found ongoing use was associated with an increased risk of stomach bleeding, which is a common side-effect of aspirin.

“Long-term use of alternate-day, low-dose aspirin may reduce risk for colorectal cancer in healthy women,” they surmised.

“The US Preventive Services Task Force recommends aspirin in women aged 55-79, but only when potential benefit outweighs potential harm. With more evidence for long-term effects in carcinogenesis (the creation of cancer), recommendations might be reconsidered.”

Nearly 41,000 people in Britain are diagnosed annually with bowel cancer, and almost 16,000 die from it.

Aspirin blocks the effects of proteins in inflammation found at unusually high levels in several cancers.

Cancer Research UK’s Sarah Williams said: “It shows for the first time that women who take low-dose aspirin every other day lower their chance of developing the disease.”

By Val Sainsbury THE risk of older people getting dementia is going down in the UK, which goes against the predictions of experts.

A study in The Lancet - the world’s leading medical journal - reveals this heartening statistic, and researchers believe it could be a reflection of improving public health.

The study, by a team from Cambridge University covering Cambridgeshire, Nottinghamshire and Newcastle, compares dementia rates in people born 20 years apart.

Based on 1991 trends, experts had predicted 8% of over-65s would have dementia in 2011.

But the actual figure for that year turned out to be just over 6%.

Applied to the whole

Oldies are defying dementia experts

UK, it would add up to 214,000 fewer cases of dementia than predicted, which would amount to a 24% reduction.

This suggests that there are 670,000 people living in the UK with dementia, rather than the 800,000-900,000 figure currently cited by experts.

Professor Carol Brayne and colleagues, who carried out the analysis, say the UK is still seeing more cases of dementia, year-on-year as a whole, because of the nation’s ageing population.

More people are living to increasingly old ages, at which they are expected to be at their highest risk of dementia. But for the individual, the study findings appear to be good news.

Co-researcher Prof Tony Arthur said: “When you compared the two cohorts born 20 years apart, you see

that dementia prevalence has gone down.

This could be because known risk factors for dementia are on the decline.”

He pointed out the improvements in managing cardiovascular disease, which has been linked to an increased risk of the symptom.

“More people are spending more time in

education as well, which might be protective,” he added.

Dr Eric Karran, of Alzheimer’s Research UK, felt the study was robust and made reliable comparisons by looking at two groups of over65s from the same geographical regions, and using the same assess-

ment and analysis tools, 20 years apart. “One interpretation of the findings is that general health and health management has improved to the extent that it has helped reduce dementia risk,” he said. “That is encouraging news for us all.

“However, this study clearly demonstrates that the risk of dementia can change with time, and for future birth cohorts it will be important to track, for example, the effects of the increase in obesity in the general population.”

The Alzheimer’s Society agreed, saying: “While this is good news, this is one study which needs careful examination, and it may not indicate a continuing trend.

“For example, we also know that other risk factors such as obesity

are, in fact, increasing.

“Dementia remains the biggest health and social care challenge facing the UK. Today’s research doesn’t mean we can take our eye off the ball.

“With no cure, few effective treatments and an economic impact dwarfing that of cancer and heart disease, more research is needed to identify the causes of dementia and how to reduce people’s risk.”

The results are part of the MRC Cognitive Function and Ageing Study of more than 15,000 older people.

Dementia, unlike Alzheimer’s, is not a disease in itself, as widely thought. It is a non-specific syndrome in which affected areas of brain function may be affected, such as memory, language, problem-solving and attention.

Fat dads could mean fat kids!

FAT fathers could pass on their weight problems to their children and their grandchildren!

A medical study has revealed that it all comes down to the dad’s weight at the time of conception.

So if he’s carrying excess lard and wants to avoid having an overweight family, he should attempt to shift some of it before trying for a baby.

Researchers have discovered a “molecular signal” in the sperm of obese fathers which can pass on the same obesity problems, including diabetes, to multiple generations.

Both male and female children run the risk of inheriting obesity this way, although girls have

a higher risk than boys, according to a study by Australian biologists at the University of Adelaide.

Even if the children eat healthily and have active lifestyles, they may still suffer as a result of this signal, although it is likely to weaken slightly with each passing generation.

Lead researcher Dr Tod Fullston said: “A father’s diet changes the molecular make-up of the sperm. With obese fathers, their sperm might programme the embryo for obesity or metabolic disease later in life.”

The chance of diabetes-type diseases is the same for both male and female offspring, he said, and less severe but still possible in grandchildren.

This can even happen if the obese father

19th July - 25th July 2013

shows no signs of diabetes, said Dr Fullston.

He added: “It’s been known for some time that the health of a mother before, during, and after pregnancy can impact on her child’s health,. But the father’s health during this period is often overlooked.

“If our laboratory studies are translatable to humans, this could be a new and, as yet, unexplored intervention window into the epidemic of childhood obesity.

“A focus on the mother’s health is extremely important, but we’re seeing that the father’s health is also important for conception.

“It is possible that by a father showing additional attention to diet and exercise, this could have a positive impact on his future children and grandchildren.”

Restaurants cheating kids C H I L D R E N across the UK are getting a raw deal from leading restaurants and pubs, who continually dish up the same old meals for them.

New research from the Out to Lunch campaign, run by the Soil Association and Organix, suggests they make life easy for themselves and their kitchens with pizzas, nuggets, burgers and sausages.

There’s not much in the way of fruit or vegetables, and not even the provision of cutlery for the kids.

It’s no wonder, then, that 33% of children are overweight by the time they leave primary school, and that 66% of parents are unhappy with what’s on offer for the kids when they take them out to eat.

Organisers at Out to Lunch are calling for the restaurant industry to improve standards and make changes to their children’s menus.

Their investigation covered 21 popular high street restaurants and pubs, whose menus for children were surveyed over a three-month period. And it revealed: *12 out of the 21 restaurants and pubs have children’s menus dominated by nuggets, burgers and sausages *Eight out of 21 chains don’t include vegetables or salad in the majority of their children’s main meals *10 don’t include a portion of fruit in any of their children’s pud-

Page 42

They always serve up the same old food for them

dings *Only 11 of the 21 chains were willing to say whether their food was freshly cooked and where it came from * Of the 11, only four were making and cooking the majority of children’s food in the kitchen: Jamie’s Italian, Wagamama, Carluccios and Café Rouge *Only one chain (Jamie’s Italian) could reliably tell parents where its meat came from *Only one offers children’s cutlery as standard *No restaurants have signage welcoming breast-feeding on their premises *Only two chains offer a children’s drinks’ menu which is free from added sugar and sweeteners In line with the research, Out to Lunch has now issued a league table ranking the 21 restaurants and pubs to show the industry and consumers just what chains are offering children.

Jamie’s Italian, Wagamama and Wether-

spoon’s top the league, while Burger King, KFC and Prezzo scored the least points. Although average meal prices varied from restaurant to restaurant, this did not determine where chains came in the rankings.

Joanna Lewis, Head of Policy at the Soil Association, said: “Our investigation reveals that most high street restaurants are not even meeting the most basic standards families should expect when they eat out.

“Most are still churning out children’s menus dominated by the usual suspects - burgers, nuggets and pizzas - turning the table into a battlefield for any parents wanting their child to eat well.

“With one in three children now overweight or obese by the time he or she leaves primary school, it’s time for these popular chains to use their influence in a positive way.”

She added: “Restaurants need to raise the bar and listen to parents, who are saying

they want fresh food and not ready-meals for their children - and the same kind of variety you’d expect as an adult.

“In the wake of ‘Horsegate’, it also rings alarm bells that only one restaurant knows where its meat comes from.”

The Out to Lunch campaign is calling on all high street restaurants and pubs to introduce the following measures: *Offer all young diners the choice of a children’s portion of adult meals *Serve freshly-prepared food, not readymeals *Offer free water to families on arrival *Offer children’s cutlery as standard *Make breast-feeding mums feel welcome Anna Rosier, Managing Director of leading UK organic baby-food company Organix, says: “Four out of 10 parents (40%) told us they eat out once a fortnight or more with their families.

“If restaurants and pubs want to ensure business stays strong

and see customers return, they need to start improving what they’re serving to children.

“We want families parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles - to help get behind our campaign to see change.

“Restaurants will start improving only if we start being more vocal about what we’re seeing and vote with our feet.”

Out to Lunch is asking families to carry out four simple steps to back the campaign: *Tell restaurants what you think. The Out to Lunch downloadable Campaign Pack includes a review slip to make it easy for families to leave it behind on the table *Be vocal and share feedback with family and friends *Vote with your feet.

If a restaurant is not up to scratch, don’t go back *Support the campaign by wearing the ‘I support Out to Lunch’ badge on your Facebook and Twitter profiles Anna added: “With the summer holidays upon us, families will enjoy eating out more often, and we want to see thousands of reviews being left behind this summer, not only in chain restaurants, but independents, too.

“If we create enough noise, together we can help make change happen.”

Jamie Oliver, founder of Jamie’s Italian, which topped the league table, said: “Since the first

Jamie’s Italian opened, we’ve always kept things kid-friendly with our funky viewfinder menus and super-tasty food.

“So to come top of the table is a fantastic achievement and, more importantly, confirmation that we’re doing things right.

“We believe that the quality of the kids’ food should to be right up there on the same level as the main menu, and I truly believe we have a brilliant offering that both kids love and parents can trust.”

The TV chef added: “Over the years, I’ve learned that if you give kids a bit of ownership over their food, they’ll really embrace it, so that’s exactly what we’ve done with our “shake me” salads. “Every dish on the kids’ menu comes with one, and it counts as one of a child’s five a day. I’ve seen parents completely amazed that their kids are eating salad, and that’s down to the fact that they’ve been involved - and had fun putting it together.”

By Jav THE new Mazda 3 is a highly-concentrated, industrial-strength version of the funto-drive formula which made the old one so popular with enthusiasts.

In fact, aside from edgier (and pricier) performance compacts like the Ford Focus ST, Honda Civic Si, or the VW Golf GTI, this new model from the Japanese company might just be the most rewarding car to drive in the class.

Some of the credit for this performance will surely have come from lessons learned when developing the Mazda 6 and CX-5.

All three cars are now part of a single, highly-flexible platform, sharing some parts, structures, and assembly procedures. In this particular case, the greasy bits have been optimised for small-car duty.

And this means, obviously, that this new Mazda 3, available early next year, is lighter than

Mazda’s 3 of the best!

the old car. At 3,002lbs, the heaviest variant (the five-door S model) carries 67lbs fewer than the old one.

Okay, it’s not that huge a drop in weight, but the new model is wider, packs far more tech, and is 30% more resistant to twist.

Also, you can forget that funny, smileyfaced grill of the old car because that’s been consigned to history.

And for a straightforward 2014 Mazda 3 - with none of the options on offer - you’ll get the 155-hp 2.0-litre, four-cylinder machine, paired to synchromesh magic, which adds up to Mazda’s superb, sixspeed manual and lots of fun behind the wheel.

There’s also a long list of tech features available, including radar cruise-control, forward- obstruction warning, cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, and adaptive front lighting.

And there’s more, such as a low-speed,

autonomous braking system and Mazda’s awkwardly-named but smart i-Eloop system.

This is an option on the 2.5-litre engine, but it does save fuel by letting the alternator freewheel when your foot is on the gas.

When you’re coasting, the alternator charges and feeds a large capacitor, which delivers juice to the battery slowly.

The system weighs just 20lbs and, in the worst traffic situations, delivers a 5-10% fueleconomy improvement.

The North American engineering team who tuned the Mazda 3 for British roads evidently

seemed obsessed with injecting fun into the little Mazda, and no small amount of that inspiration came from the Porsche 911.

The target for throttle response was the Porsche 993; the goal for steering feel was an oldschool manual steering box (probably from an early small-bumper 911), and the behaviour of the stability control and the automatic transmission’s Sport mode were patterned after the brand-new Porsche 991.

What all this means is that out of the seven trim levels, offered on the Mazda 3, even the lowliest i SV model, with

16-inch wheels and allseason tires, will let you charge up a mountain with ease.

And it could probably walk all over a more powerful car on the way back down that same track.

Push the Mazda 3 hard through a corner and it feels brilliantlyconnected to the road, and it doesn’t protest if that tarmac isn’t icerink smooth.

Even the automatic transmission’s basic mapping is smart enough to downshift at the right moments and hold on to a gear. Best of all, the 3’s back-road talents don’t translate into a stiff ride.

The 2.5-litre models are noticeably quicker, yet the extra 29hp and 35lb-ft of torque don’t necessarily add to the thrills. Mazda estimate that either engine has the ability to touch 40mpg on the highway, so the 2.5-litre upgrade would be a guilt-free indulgence.

The cockpit is also focused on the fun side

of driving. There’s a tidy little binnacle for the gauges and a smalldiameter steering wheel that feels just right.

The 3’s optional system, called Active Driving Display, is easy to live with because the images are projected on to a small, clear panel just behind the instruments - and not on to the windshield, obstructing your vision.

And there’s no ugly lump on the dash to conceal the mechanicals.

Most important, Active Driving Display is adjustable to meet the eye-level of every driver.

This is a great-looking car that’s inherently engaging from behind the wheel. And though pricing hasn’t been announced, the best part about it is that you won’t need to spend a lot on options to get a fun car.

While the smile’s been wiped off the new Mazda 3’s grille, the one on your face if you fall for one will come as standard!

Monza Concept coupe could be the real thing V A U X H A L L’ S upmarket drive shows no signs of abating with this Monza Concept, which is set to rival a BMW 4 Series and Audi A5.

The large coupe will make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September some 16 years since the death of the company’s last big number, the Calibra.

Yet this concept, which could evolve into the real deal in the next three years, will bear the Monza name generally associated with Vauxhall’s sister brand Opel.

Reports from Germany suggest that the concept will be a rear-

19th July - 25th July 2013

wheel drive GT, like the Monza from the Seventies and Eighties, and

1980s, which rules out using any GM Europe platforms.

Instead, it could be based on the Cadillac ATS, which also hints at engines ranging from 2.0-litre, four-cylinder units up to 3.6-litre V6.

Diesels would undoubtedly feature in Europe, but the concept will feature an advanced eco-friendly powertrain.

With any production car likely to be badged as a Buick in crucial Chinese and US markets, it points to a similar plug-in hybrid system to the Buick Riviera concept shown at this year’s Shanghai Show. That car featured a W-PHEV plug-in, hybrid powertrain - the W standing for wireless, enabling the battery pack to be charged via a plug-in chord,

or by parking it over an induction panel.

The Monza will also showcase the use of lightweight materials to highlight the car’s sporting credentials, while the interior will also boost Vauxhall’s hitech credentials.

Already, that means an update from the likes of Apple’s Siri Eyes Free connectivity, which is already beginning to feature in the latest Vauxhalls.

The Monza also has an evolution of Vauxhall’s current design themes, with a low stance, slim headlights and oversized air-intakes underneath, and a large grille with an impressive Vauxhall badge on a chrome bar.

The circumference of the Earth is approximately 40,000 kilometers, and someone has just made a metal band that circles the Earth, touching the ground at all locations.

You come along at night, as a practical joke, and add just 10 meters to its length (one hundredth of one kilometer !)

It is now one four-millionth longer, and sits magically just above the ground at all locations

AS the temperatures soared here in Tenerife so did the emotion in Sapri, Italy, for the latest IBFA event, with Tenerife businessman and body-builder Chris Penney ecstatic with his latest achievements winning both the Mr. Universe and Mr. Europe titles.

When we last spoke to Chris back in May he firmly had his sights on winning the IBFA Mr. Universe competition from the 6th -8th July and that’s what he well and truly did.

He told Canarian Weekly: “It’s really only just sinking in”.

He made the onerous journey to Sapri a small town in the Campania region of Italy right on the south western tip; where the whole population of just over 7,000 come to a halt to support the event.

Sapri’s not an easy

place to get to from Tenerife, after a 3am start on planes, trains and automobiles Chris eventually reached the

town on the Cilentan coast at 6pm.

Over 250 competitors, more than usual were going through their

paces. The reason for the increased number is that on the preceding Saturday the Mr. Italy competition had also been held.

In high humidity, at 02.30am Chris was announced as the winner of Mr. Universe, senior heavyweight cat-

egory, an outstanding achievement when you consider that he’s competing against guys who are nearly half is age. Chris’s trainer Jose advised him to compete in this class because of his excellent conditioning and vascularity. The win in

the heavyweight category qualified Chris for the overall Mr Universe title (see pic alongside the lightweight and middleweight champions). This was the finale of the show which concluded at 03.30am.

A long but successful day.

Natural Nathan takes his place!

SIX venues hosted last week’s singles knockout competition, and 70 eager darters were joined in battle, aiming to book a place in September’s Finals Night.

And an almighty battle ensued at Target Bar’s Premier league venue, with the draw throwing together some of the league’s best players.

To quote a footballing term, it was “the group of death”! It was anyone’s call, but a young man who is quickly gaining a name for himself came through the toughest possible draw.

Step forward Nathan, of Ourplace Naturals, who beat Phoenix Bar’s London in the last match to earn his place in the finals.

La Caña hosted the other Premier league entries, and it was equally as difficult to call. The semi-final here, pitched Phoenix Bar’s Mitch against Richard, from Bar 180 A. They know each other’s game very well, having had titanic contests with their league teams over the past few seasons, and another epic battle was guaran-

teed. The match could have gone either way, but it was Mitch who scraped through with a 3-2 victory. It will be some final!

Ten Division 1 darters landed up at Emerald Lounge, on Golf del Sur, and again, it was needle -in-a-haystack stuff.

So well done, and congratulations to Gaffers’ Paul, who came through the bottom half of the draw to stake his claim for the singles title.

To do that, he will have to beat another “young” man, in the

shape of Lol, from Chipeque Pool Bar. He beat Bar 180’s even-younger Carl in the semi-final at Trap Door. Don’t worry Lol, we’ll help you on to the stage!

The Division 2 event, hosted by Sundowners, featured players from Picassos, La Caña, Pas O Nadas and Emerald Shamrocks.

The Shamrocks are new to the league this term and are going along quite nicely in their Division. So perhaps it’s no surprise that the final will feature two of their players, Gary and Matt.

In fact, the doubles final will also be an allShamrock affair. Now, it’s not often that I have been out with 20 girls on the same night. In fact, despite rumours elsewhere, it was the first time ever!

Many thanks to the Ourplace team for the fine hospitality on offer.

And well done to all the girls for the keenly-contested matches.

The early rounds saw Anna, from Bar Amistad ,waltzing through her half of the draw, and looking odds-on favourite to qualify.

The following day there was no let up as it was the Mr. Europe contest. Now as Chris had won Mr. Universe the previous day he was not permitted to compete in the same category so instead he entered the Masters Category where once again he was triumphant.

His 110% preparation paid off, he said: “All the training and eating every few hours with the diet has now paid off. It was just an amazing achievement” He would like to thank his trainer Jose and also his wife Tanya for preparing his food

all year. A major task in itself!

After a smooth running and more than successful competition the journey back to Tenerife was not so trouble-free. Chris had additional baggage of two gold coloured statuettes, which in the end had to have their own seats on the aircraft! They’re now are on proud display in Chris’s trophy cabinet.

As to the future he concluded: “I’m at the pinnacle of my body building career, I’m now going to rest from competitions and consider my options.”

against Naughty Nautas’ Julie who dumped her out of it. Julie then beat stablemate Sue to book her place in the final against Ourplace Playgirls starlet Nuala.

Well, I think that’s how her name is spelled, eh Nuala? After disposing of two Bar 180 ladies, she then cruised past Dawn from Trap Door, and will be a stern test for Julie on 6th September, when the Finals Night takes place.

The venue is Nauta Bar, at Camping Nauta in Guaza - and it promises to be another cracker!

It’s the Norman conquest!

KEITH NORMAN and Ian Burnley took the honours as the number of Fun Golfers dropped to 17 for Sunday’s monthly event at Los Palos.

But it was the same fun in the sun as usual for the regulars, with Harry Fleming & Duncan Wallace runners-up and Frank Moss &Julia Fleming third.

Jenny Messham seized the ladies’ Nearest the Pin prize, and Eric Hall did likewise for the men.

And Jenny secured

a slightly unwanted double by capturing the booby prize as well, along with John McCabe.

Thanks go to Sean Bible and Charlie Sinclair for sponsoring the July tournament, and if you are inte-

It's Pecado’s perfect catch

Free-to-air global footie

FIFA and UEFA have lost their appeal against a European Union ruling that the World Cup and European Championship must be shown on free-to-air TV in the UK. The two bodies had argued that the current set-up interfered with the ability to market television rights at the best commercial price they could get.

The UK argued that all 64 World Cup finals matches and 31 European Championship matches were an important part of the list of national sporting “crown jewels”, which have to be made available to the whole population to watch on terrestrial television.

And the court agreed, saying that European states were able to select broadcast events “which they deem to be of major importance for society” and show them for free.

Otherwise, said the court, it “would deprive a substantial proportion of the public of the possibility of following those events on free television”.

Bell to the rescue again

HAVING won the first Ashes Test by the skin of their teeth at Trent Bridge on Sunday, England escaped a mauling by Australia at Lord’s yesterday (Thursday) to take command as the second Test got underway.

The Aussies got rid of skipper Alastair Cook, Joe Root and Kevin Pietersen for just 28 to leave England in desperate trouble. But Ian Bell, their century-making hero of the first Test, came to the rescue with another ton.

He and Jonathan Trott took the score to 124 before the latter became Ryan Harris’s third victim, for 58. But Jonathan Bairstow replaced him and carried on in the same vein alongside Bell with an unbeaten 46, taking England to a more-than-respectable 219-4 during the last session of the day. Bell completed back-to-back Ashes centuries before falling for 109. England were 284-7 as we went to press.

F1 boss Bernie’s bribe?

PROSECUTORS in Germany have accused F1 motor-racing boss Bernie Ecclestone of making a $44m (£29m) payment to German banker Gerhard Gribkowsky, of Bayern Landesbank, linked to the sale of a stake in F1 back in 2006.

Ecclestone denies the accusation, saying that the money was intended to stop the banker from exposing him to a UK tax inquiry. Mr Gribkowsky was sentenced to 8½ years in jail in Munich.

Mr Ecclestone told the Financial Times on Wednesday: “I have just spoken to my lawyers and they have received an indictment. It’s being translated into English.

“We are defending it properly. It will be an interesting case. It’s a pity it’s happened.”

Formula One Group, run by Mr Ecclestone, said in a statement that he had six weeks to respond to the indictment.

JUST one catch was all it took for a boat called Pecado to win the Canary Islands’ IGFA Offshore World Championship qualifier on Saturday.

The event, held from the San Miguel Marina for the third consecutive year, was another outstanding success, although few fish were landed this year during the two-day competition, organised by Bertram and the IGFA, (International Fishing Federation).

The one that did count - a superb Blue Marlin was hooked by the Pecado crew, led by Captain Carlos Martínez, who will be representing San Miguel Marina and the Canary Islands in the World Championship final next April in Costa Rica.

There were the usu-

al one-that-got-away tales by rival captains, and with good reason because no fewer than four other Blue Marlin were hooked but not boated.

Lagonda connected with three and Dotsy Too the other one, leaving Captain Martínez and crew out on their own.

Also, several Wahoo the fastest fish in the ocean - were hooked but, again, just three

counted: two for Barracuda I and luckless Dotsy Two getting the third one - but the Wahoo is a much smaller species than the Marlin.

There is a good reason why the Canarian leg of the tournament is held off the Island, and that’s because the waters of Tenerife hold these fish in abundance, as well as other eligible species which can be captured by the trolling method, including

White Marlin, Tuna and Dorado.

The trophy presentation, which took place at the Marina on Saturday evening, was made by Tenerife Sports Minister Christo Perez and San Miguel de Abona Mayor Valentín González Évora.

It was followed by a late-night bash, featuring six-piece Puerto de la Cruz band La Chalana.

Main sponsors were Tenerife Cabildo’s tourism department; San Miguel Town Hall; Canarian car-hire company Cicar; Canary Islands’ Multinautica-Yanmar boat engines and the Dagger boat insurance brokerage firm.

Among the co-sponsors were hotels Aguamarina; Sandos San Blas and; Golf Plaza Spa Resort (all Golf del Sur); Sun Bay Villas, Amarilla Golf; Hotel Sheraton, La Caleta and Ofipapel, Los Cristianos.
