Speedy Mo racing over here to get his reward Tenerife is staging the prestigious European Athletics awards night MO FARAH, Britain’s latest athletics hero, will be in Tenerife next weekend to collect a prestigious award.

He has been voted European Athlete of the Year after his stunning 5,000 metres success in last month’s World Championship in Daegu, South Korea. The Somalian-born Brit captured the hearts of TV’s millions when taking the world title after finishing a heart-breaking second in the 10,000m a week earlier. Mo, now a hot favourite to win gold in the London Olympics next year, joins a host of other winners at the European Convention of Athletics, to be held over three days in Playa de Las Americas. They will receive their gongs at the Awards Ceremony, to be staged at the Magma Centre in front of hundreds of delegates from all the athletics unions throughout Europe. It will almost certainly be the most glittering sporting occasion ever staged in Tenerife. The three-day meeting begins on Thursday (13th October) at the Mare Nostrum Hotel and continues the following day when delegates will debate next year’s European Federation of Athletics calendar and set the 2012 agenda. With all the paperwork and talking done with, the action then switches to the Magma Centre on Saturday for the main event. Patrick Leuyckx, a top Belgian coach who runs the athletics club RCLA (Racing Club Las Americas), next to the Green Hospital, is absolutely delighted with the gathering. “This is a big feather in our cap,” he said. “To attract the greatest athletes in Europe, and all their leading officials, means so much to all of us involved in the sport over here. “And to have Mo Farah and all the other stars appearing under one roof in Las Americas is a real bonus for us. “Hopefully, it will also appeal to our athletes over here, and all the youngsters who watched them on television recently winning their medals at the World Championships.”

He added: “We do have lots of top European athletes over here training with us during the winter, and you’d be surprised at the big names we attract. But this convention really is something special.” Farah will be joined in Tenerife by another Briton heading for the top. Jodie Williams, the 18-year-old sprinter from Welwyn Garden City, who took the European Junior 100m and 200m titles in July, has won the female Rising Star Award. But Mo will undoubtedly be the centre of attraction, having rebuilt his career during one fantastic season after being regarded as a nearly man on the track. The 28-year-old started off his year by setting a European indoor record over 5,000m in Birmingham in February, He also defended his 3,000m title successfully at the European Athletics Indoor Championships in Paris in March. Moving into the summer, Farah set a European 10,000m record of 26mins 46.57secs when winning at the Diamond League meeting in Eugene, Oregon, in June. The following month, he ran the year’s fastest 5,000m time of 12mins 53.11secs in Monaco, which ranked him second on the European all-time lists for the event, as well as being a national record. However, all this was a prelude to his feats at the World Championships in Daegu. He had to settle for the silver medal in the 10,000m - one of only two defeats in 14 competitions on all surfaces during 2011. But he bounced back emphatically by running a tactically-perfect race in the 5,000m to become the first European runner to win a global title at the event for nearly two decades. His popularity knows no bounds. At the recent Great North Run in Newcastle, Mo got the race underway, and then spent several minutes touching hands with the lesser competitors as they passed by him. They simply couldn’t get enough of this modest superstar!

Thomson cooking up slice of history!

Local News

News around the Islands Granadilla’s plea for pride GRANADILLA council has asked residents and visitors to take more pride in the area following the loss of their beaches’ blue flags this year and concerns about vandalism. The area has experienced an influx of visitors this summer, three times more than the numbers recorded in El Médano.

Canaries - from both sides now! THE Canarian government has warned that civil servants can expect to have their pay docked if they take longer breaks than permitted. Heads of department have been told to monitor staff closely and make cuts in other ways, such as using both sides of paper where necessary.

Barranco man carried to safety A 41-year-old man who fell into a barranco at Arico over the weekend was saved by a helicopter crew. Rescue teams and medics found the man stranded in an inaccessible area and took him to Candelaria Hospital, where he is in a stable condition.

Fuel prices add to inflation ANNUAL inflation in Tenerife rose in September for the first time in four months, up to 3.1% - probably because of the escalating cost of fuel and other oil products.

THOMSON Airways made aviation history yesterday (Thursday) by becoming the first UK airline to fly customers using sustainable aviation biofuel.

The maiden flight, TOM 7446, went from Birmingham to Arrecife, and daily flights will follow from the Midlands airport early next year for around four weeks.

The biofuel, produced from used cooking oil, has been rigorously tested to meet strict aviation safety standards. The selected flights will operate one engine using sustainable aviation biofuel and one engine using standard fuel, which will enable them to collect valuable performance data. Sustainability is one of Thomson’s priorities, so this is an exciting initia-

tive for the airline and for the company as a whole. It offers Thomson Airways an opportunity to improve their environmental performance and, at the same time, set the benchmark for green aviation in the UK. To book flights to and from the UK with Thomson Airways, contact Liza and Jamie at C/C El Duque on 922 761 202, or email tenerife.flights@tui-uk.co.uk

Canaries escape the dramatic job losses SPAIN’S jobless total rose by 95,817 in September, making it the worst month in 15 years - yet the Canary Islands avoided the misery.

The 2.32% increase took the total number of unemployed to 4,226,744, and jobs were lost in all fields, except those of agriculture and construction. Only the Canaries, plus the La Rioja and Castilla-La Mancha regions escaped the job losses. Women were affected more than men, with female unemployment up 53,908 against August figures, while 41,909 male jobs were lost. Yet Elena Salgado, the Government’s Minister for Tax and the Economy, still hopes for some improvement before the end of the year. At a meeting of the EU finance ministers in Luxembourg, Salgado

Drowning man is rescued On Tuesday a man was rescued from drowning in the sea near El Medano. The incident happened in the late afternoon. The man was rescued from the water and was treated by emergency services on the beach. He was then airlifted by helicopter from the south of the island to Tenerife North airport, from where he was taken to the Hospital Nuestra Señora de La Candelaria, Santa Cruz.

Anglican churches filling up AUTUMN is with us again, and so are the Swallows, which means the number of church-goers is increasing greatly, as the Anglican Church in the south discovers every year. Many special events, such as Wedding Blessings and Baptisms, add a wealth of enjoyment to the congregation at the church at this time. Luncheons, coffee mornings and craft groups are in progress in San Eugenio, and ongoing hospital visiting is welcomed by British patients in Hospital Adeje.

said: “The unemployment numbers for September have been up for several years, and it is true that this data is somewhat worst than last year. But in any case, we will continue with our same plans.” Mari Luz Rodríguez, Secretary of State for Employment, and Social

Security Secretary Octavio Granado, have blamed part of the rise in unemployment on the “tough and intense” cuts made in the regions and town halls in health and education. And overall, the Government admits that its year-end target for unemployment will not now be met.

Fiesta Nacional de España

Wednesday 12th October sees a National Public Holiday throughout Spain and the islands - Fiesta Nacional de España, also known as Hispanic Day (Día de la Hispanidad). The day celebrates the anniversary of when Christopher Columbus first set foot in the Americas in 1492. However, Christopher Columbus was no stranger to the Canary Islands himself. Born circa 31st October 1451 he was an explorer and navigator from Genoa, northwest Italy. With the backing of the Catholic Monarchs of Spain, he completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean that led to general European awareness of the American continents in the Western Hemisphere. During these voyages, he attempted to establish permanent settlements in the island of Hispaniola, and initiated the process of Spanish colonisation, which foreshadowed the general European colonisation of the “New World”. During his first three voyages Columbus stopped off at the Canary Islands. First in September 1492 at La Gomera, in 1493 in El Hierro and finally once again

Page 4

in La Gomera in 1498, just eight years before his death on 20th May 1506. Christopher Columbus set sail from the port of Palos de la Frontera in South-West Spain on 3rd August, 1492. He landed on an island that is now part of the Bahamas in the Caribbean on October 12, 1492.The anniversary of this date is marked as Hispanic Day in Spain. According to Wikipedia other events similar to Hispanic Day to mark the anniversary of the date Christopher Columbus first set foot in the Americas are also held in other countries. October 12th is known as Discovery Day in the Bahamas, Day of the Cultures in Costa Rica, Day of the Race in Argentina, Chile and Mexico and the Day of Indigenous Resistance in Venezuela. The second Monday of October is Columbus Day in the United States. In the municipality of Adeje in the south of Tenerife Monday the 10th October is also a fiesta day – Festividad de Santa Úrsula. Festivities take place all weekend in Adeje with a Folklore festival on Saturday night and on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings a Grand Romeria, in the Plaza de Espana, definitely worth a visit if you’ve never been.

Until next week...

SPAIN’S leading beach volleyball teams had to bow to the Austrians and Germans in the televised Continental Cup Islas Canarias at Playa Fañabé, over the weekend.

They won the men’s and women’s events respectively to lift the Champion’s Cup and qualify for next year’s London Olympics. The Spanish men’s No1 two-man team of Pablo Herrera and Adrián Gavira, who had a bye to the semi-finals, were hot favourites to win the prestigious event. But they lost that opening clash against Austria, and then went on to defeat the Czech Republic to finished third in the bronze medal position. Spain’s top women’s team also came third, which gave both national sides a lifeline as they will compete in a playoff for the remaining two spots at the 2012 Olympics.

Tenerife and, especially, Playa Fañabé, came in for some gilt-edged compliments from the event organisers, whose spokesman said: “This proved to be far ahead of the other World Beach Volleyball events. “In terms of marketing, promotion and communication, it has become the new international benchmark to follow.” He added: This tournament would have been impossible to hold without the support of all three public institutions involved - the Gobierno de Canarias, Tenerife Cabildo and the Adeje Council - and all the volunteers who worked so hard.” Thousands of people invaded the Sand & Sea Beach Club stadium and the training and warm-up courts in Playa Fañabé throughout the three-day tournament. They came from Spain, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Scandinavia and Central

European to support their respective teams and join in the fun. The VIP area, hosted by Fred. Olsen Express, was packed with officials, businessmen and guests. At various times, the following dignitaries were in attendance there: Agustín Martín Santos, President of the RFEVB and Vice-President of the CEV; Ricardo Fernández de la Puente, Tenerife’s Deputy Tourism Minister; Maria del Cristo Pérez Zamora, Tenerife Sports Minister; Jesús Morales Martínez, Tenerife Water Councillor; Rafael Dolado Garcia, Adeje Tourism Councillor; Adolfo Alonso Ferrera, Adeje Sports and Youth Councillor. In addition, there were representatives from Sheraton La Caleta, Iberia, Fred. Olsen Express, and others from the two largest advertising agencies in Spain.

Mobiles at sixes and sevens SUCH is the high demand for Spanish mobile telephone numbers that network providers are running short of those starting with the figure 6.

At the moment, all numbers have nine digits - always beginning with 6 - but the first numbers ever to start with 7 are now upon us. The Telecommunications Market Commission (CMT) say there are still a few mobile numbers starting with 6 available, but they will soon be used up. They have already created 80 million numbers starting with 7.

A total of 100 million numbers beginning with 6 were created initially, and operators requesting new numbers from the CMT do so in blocks of 100,000. But back in 2002, Orange prepared the way by asking for 100,000 numbers starting with a 7, which will be activated once their supply of 6s disappears. Then, their mobile numbers will start with 747 7 and with 747 8. Vodafone requested 100,000 new numbers in January, and theirs will start with 717 1. Movistar, who followed in February, will begin with 717 0, while Yoigo’s, hot their heels in March will have a 722 7 lead-in.

The building industry is heading upwards again!

THE Bank of Spain issued a heartening message to the Spanish construction industry this week.

Foreign investment in bricks and mortar there is back with a vengeance, with overseas buyers spending 32.8% more on property in Spain during the first six months of 2011, against last year’s figures, with a total spend of 2.445 billion euros. More than one billion euros was invested alone between April and June - unheard of since 2008, before the property boom fell flat. Foreign investment in Spanish property had been steadily falling since 2003, when a record 7.072 billion euros was spent. It

7 October - 13 October 2011

dropped to 6.650 billion in 2004, 5.495 billion in 2005 and, finally, 4.716 billion in 2006. There was a brief recovery in 2007 and 2008, before the 31.5% drop to 3.651 billion euros shattered the industry completely the following year. The Ministry of Public Works has been running a Road Show since April, taking representatives of building companies and financial institutions around European cities. These have included Hamburg, Stockholm and London, where it has been promoting investment in Spanish property and, in particular, properties on the coast, where 50% of the country’s “stock” remains unsold.

Tourists enjoy culture treat by the Adeje and Arona Councils ADEJE and Arona celebrated a “Day of the Tourist” event last Friday (30th Sept), an initiative sparked by Tenerife Tourism in conjunction with both councils. The object was to demonstrate some of the culture and traditions of Tenerife to the municipalities’ visitors, and it proved a winner as the crowds packed in. Such was the success of the event that Miguel Angel Santos, Tenerife’s Deputy Minister of Tourism, said: “This initiative is one of the many things we want to work on at Tenerife Tourism, and we will continue our support next year.” There was something for everyone on view, with various acts, a parade and then a performance by folk groups from both municipalities. As well as Tenerife Tourism being represented,

Page 6

Rafael Dolado and Francis Niño, Adeje and Arona Tourism Councillors respectively, and Nayra Medina Bethencourt, Adeje Councillor for Culture, also enjoyed the proceedings, along with the Mayors of both regions, Jose Miguel Rodriguez Fraga (Adeje) and José Alberto González Reverón (Arona). The two Mayors agreed: This is a successful tourism activity because it allows visitors to get closer to the Canarian traditions.” The cultural show began at 8pm in Pueblo Canario Shopping centre, where Adeje’s Folklore Group led the parade to Troya Beach. Throughout the walk, visitors joined in the revelry and shared rhythms, melodies and dances typical to the Island. Once at Troya beach, the various musical groups delighted their audience with a splendid sample of Canarian folklore.

CONSTANT flooding in the Finlandia street in Los Cristianos should be a thing of the past by the end of the year following a 200,000-euro renovation.

The roundabout at the intersection of Avenida La Habana is hit constantly whenever it pours down, and workmen are constructing a drainage hole to solve the problem.

In addition, the roundabout, currently made of tarmac will be replaced by landscaping, in line with the Cabildo’s edict whenever work of this nature is undertaken. The Mayor of Arona, Jose Alberto Gonzalez Reveron, accompanied by Councillors Ramon Garcia and Marta Melo, this week visited Calle Finlandia to check the progress being made there. Reveron, pleased with what he saw,

said: “This will destroy the old problem of rainwater accumulation in this area. “This road is a very important form of communication, connecting to the port of Los Cristianos which, in turn, is the maritime link with the islands of El Hierro, La Gomera and La Palma.” The pavement is also being updated, the street will be lined with trees to improve the look of the area and additional parking spots will be created.

Who’ll play the Colonel in The Sound of Music? THE Spanish version of The Sound of Music comes to Tenerife Auditorium in Santa Cruz for Christmas and New Year, and the producers have a slight problem.

They haven’t yet casted leading man Colonel von Trapp, played famously by Christopher Plummer in the 1965, multiOscar-winning film, and Jason Donovan on stage. Auditions for one of the most prestigious musical parts of all will take place at the Auditorium on Monday from 5pm. Those who see themselves in this starring role must be an elegant 40-55 years of age, at least 5ft 11ins tall, and willing to tour with the show in Spain. Producers stress that it is essential for applicants to have experience, training and talent for musical interpretation. So if you consider yourself tailor-made for the part, send your resume to carmenvertigotours@ gmail.com for registration. You should also be fully conversant with the musical’s most famous song Edelweiss (the score and lyrics can be downloaded www.auditoriodetenerife.com / files / Edelweiss.pdf) - and film dialogue is also on the same file.

The classic Broadway hit The Sound of Music was first staged in 1959. It was made into an incredibly popular film starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer six years later, winning five Oscars. And even after 52 years, it is still ranked as the most popular show in musical history. It has been translated into dozens of languages and remains one of the top family entertainments of all time. No matter the age difference between the generations watching the performanc-

es anywhere in the world, the show’s history and melodies are still as valid now as when first performed 52 years ago. The Spanish version is being directed by one of the most prestigious directors of music in the country, Jaime Azpilicueta, who has been associated with such works as My Fair Lady, Cabaret, Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita, among others. It all points to a spectacular production here in Tenerife over the festive season - and one not to be missed, especially by families.

No cheer for fog-bound Chio UD CHIO’S league match in Granadilla against Hermano Pedro on Saturday was called off because of FOG! The referee was forced to call a halt midway through the second half with Chio trailing 3-1, but the interruption may not have been a blessing for the away side. Unlike the UK, where matches are always replayed in full at all levels if the 90 minutes have not been completed, it

is usual for Spanish leagues to order teams to complete the missing minutes only. And the Tenerife league federation will decide just how much of this second regional division match will have to be played. Even mighty Barcelona were once forced to play the remaining eight minutes of a league match after it had been cut short. UD Chio, sponsored by CD Tenerife fan shop Soy del

Tete, in Fanabe Plaza, scored through young strriker Juanito on Saturday. But club officials and players feel the team are being hampered when playing away because they do not have access to an artificial, Astroturf pitch. They train and play on a dirt pitch at Chio, and what Astroturf pitches there are in their Guia region are all spoken for. Their nearest options are

at Alcala, which is miles away, or Tamaimo in Santiago del Teide, and UD’s club president is hoping to negotiate a deal for the team to train on an artificial surface somewhere at least once a fortnight. This week, the team have a rest day because the club they should have played folded through lack of funds. Their next game is away on Sunday 16th October at CD Armeñime.

Catholic Church stayaways! SPAIN has always been recognised as a Roman Catholic country, and 73.3% of the population claim that religion. But more than half of them seldom go to Mass. Newly-released data by the Centre for Sociological Investigations (CIS), say the number of catholics has fallen by 2% since last year. The survey shows that only 2.2% of the population in Spain practise other religions, while 14.9% of those questioned

7 October - 13 October 2011

said they were “non-believers”. In addition to those people, 7.4% of Spaniards claimed to be “atheist”. The CIS also asked people how often they went to church, apart from occasions like weddings, Christenings, First Holy Communions or funerals. Over half said they “hardly ever” went, while 15.9% said they attended a religious service most Sundays and on feast days a figure which has also been declining over the past 10 years.

H’amazing! National Parks Network

RESTAURANT Embrujo & Bodegon tapas LA LOLA in C.C Américas Plaza in Playa de Las Américas was the venue last Saturday for a Guinness World Record.

Fran Alonso was participating in a preliminary Guinness record for slicing the world’s longest slice of ham (jamon). Alonso, cut nearly 40 metres of ham that stretched on tables from Embrujo to Oriental Garden, half of Americas Plaza! The current record is held by Nico Jimenez Rodriguez (Spain), the current edition of the Guinness Book of Records states, “The longest slice of meat was 13 m 35 cm (43 ft 9.6 in) and was achieved by Nico Jimenez Rodriguez (Spain) at Hattori Nutrition College in Sendagaya, Shibuya, Tokyo, on 23 September 2010.” Saturday’s event was a prelim, the actual event will take

place sometime in December at a venue still to be decided, under controlled conditions. Fran Alonso already holds the Guinness world record for, “The longest marathon slicing meat was 24 hr 54 min 6.0 sec and was achieved by Francisco Alonso (Spain) in Tenerife, Spain, on 18 November 2010 in celebration of Guinness World Records Day.” Other interesting records relating to jamon include:• The most slices of meat cut in one hour is the equivalent of 10.04 kg (2160 slices) and was achieved by Diego Hernandez Palacios (Spain) at IFEMA, Madrid, Spain on 12th April 2011. • The most expensive leg of ham commercially available is a 7 kg (15 lb) heavy Albarragena Jamon Iberico de Bellota retailing at £1,800 ($2,682) and is sold at the Food Hall in Sefridges, London, UK as of 17 January 2010.

President of the Tenerife Cabildo, Ricardo Melchior, attended a meeting of the Network of National Parks, held in Madrid. He noted that Canarian Parks “work well “, but added that the main objective is to achieve, through the efforts and coordination of all to work even better.”

This annual meeting, was chaired by Josep Puxeu, Rural Water and Environment Ministry and Marine Affairs. Of the 14 parks in Spain, four are in the Canaries (Teide, Caldera, Garajonay and Timanfaya). Ricardo Melchior attended as chairman of the board of the Teide National Park and stated that, in the case of the Islands, the parks are “well preserved” and there

is “a close relationship and cooperation amongst the four.” In this sense, the president of the council appreciated the exchange of views in these meetings that is generated between the leaders of all communities, which he described as “very positive”, because not only addresses the general problem, but of each park individually. The Council of the National Park Network is a state advisory agency, which are represented in the General State Administration, of the Autonomous Communities that have national parks, the presidents of the Trustees, and representatives of conservation organizations and municipalities with territory in the National Parks. Teide was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 2007, it’s the most visited National Park, with more than

3.5 million people visiting annually and is the most requested tour by tourists who flock to the island. Last March, the Ministry of Environment of the Canary Islands government declared the delegation of responsibilities for the management of national parks fall on the island councils, although the transfer has not yet been formalised. A month later, the newly created Council of the Canary Islands National Parks gave its approval to the report submitted by the council for the joint management of Teide and other protected areas of the Island. The report outlined the circumstances which with integrated and coherent management of Teide will help harmonize and optimize strategies for conservation, protection and sustainability of protected natural areas of the island.

Work on the Barranco de las Torres shopping and leisure centre, which has been given Town Council approval to be built in the Las Torres area, near the Tropicana night club, is not expected to begin until next year at the earliest. Needless to say, local businessmen are furious at what they perceive to be a genuine threat to their livelihoods. But Town Planning chief José María Álvarez Acosta says the municipal government will get the go-ahead for building work to start in 2012. If he is correct, the 410,000sqm site will house one of the largest centres of its kind in the whole of Spain, with a public park thrown in for good measure. Álvarez adds that once the place is ready for business, it will create some 5,000 jobs, which will give the Adeje area a big shot in the arm.

2012 Carnival poster

Santa Cruz de Tenerife has presented the 2012 Carnival poster, whose theme is dedicated to the 60s. The Tenerife photographer is Alfonso Bravo, who has opted for a novel design. The carnival poster shows the face of a young hippy girl, on her fingers two murgueros whistles. The illustration shows a motto ‘Love is Carnaval’ image that relates to the theme of the celebrations of 2012. The mayor, José Manuel Bermúdez, acknowledged that the poster may not be to everyone’s taste but said “it is good to generate controversy.” At the presentation of the poster were, the photographer Alfonso Bravo, Councillor for Fiestas, Fernando Ballesteros, and artistic director of Carnival 2012, Juan Carlos Armas. Alfonso Bravo wanted to emphasise that the poster “contains the colours of this land.” His work has tried to “capture the essence of the 60’s and bring it into today.” Ballesteros said that he likes this poster. The mayor said that the photographer “is an artist from Tenerife who works in major cities around the world.” In addition, his work for Carnival, “can be seen in all the tourist offices of Spain.” One of the novelties is that the poster is a photograph in front of the paintings that have dominated the posters of the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Guardian annual travel awards

British newspaper “The Guardian” held last weekend its annual travel awards event on the island with the assistance of a hundred professionals travel experts from the UK, including some of the most important in Europe. The vice president and chief executive of the Cabildo Insular de Turismo, Carlos Alonso, highlighted the “enormous promotional tool that a meeting of this kind brings, bringing together top executives from the leading British travel industry and allows us to further show the important attractions there are on the island as a holiday destination.” Turismo de Tenerife made available to participants local transport and excursions, among other services.

Robbie quits Take That - but it’s not for good Robbie Williams is having a break from his Take That bandmates to focus on his solo career. Gary Barlow has said that the group are a four-piece again and that their time with Robbie Williams ended “perfectly”. The 40-year-old X Factor judge told the Radio Times that Williams had left the group for a while to record a new solo album. “It was beautiful. We got on well. We finished the tour. We’re all happy”, he said about their reunion. “The fans have come along and been happy. Great, great, great, great, great. “Now Rob’s doing a solo record,

and from this point it’s back to where it was.” He said Take That’s revival as a five-man band “ended perfectly” for the time being, adding: “You know what, we can revisit it whenever we want. “He’s our brother, Rob is, and if he’s ever in trouble or he wants to have a year off being Robbie Williams, he’s welcome any time he wants.” The chart-toppers announced in 2010 that they would be performing their first tour as a complete group, Progress Live 2011, for 16 years. Barlow said of the pair’s previous fall-outs: “It would be unfair for me to say he’s the one with the

ego because I’ve got a pretty big ego as well. “And especially in those younger days when I was 24 and he was 20, but then you come back - I was 38 and he was 34 - and it’s like ‘let’s talk this through’.” He told the magazine: “All those years I’d just imagined this moment to actually be sat there opposite this person who’d said so much worse than anybody else had ever in my life, done so much damage and said so much bad stuff. “Not to my face. In records and in print. It was the way it was being done I didn’t like. And to eventually be sat there opposite the person was liberating.”

Tesco reveals the worst performance in 20 years Britain’s biggest supermarket Tesco has reported its worst performance in 20 years with another fall in sales in its half-yearly results. Like-for-like sales excluding VAT and petrol have declined by 0.5% in the UK in the first half of this year - compared to a 1.9% increase from its rival Sainsbury’s. It is Tesco’s first like-for-like decline since 1991 at a time when consumers are cutting back to cope with high inflation and low wage growth. The supermarket chain admitted the growth was slow but claimed it was “a robust performance in the most challenging retail market we have seen for a generation”. Tesco chief executive Philip Clarke put the decline down to high fuel prices and nonessential items like clothing and electrical appliances stocked in its stores. Speaking on Jeff Randall Live, he said: “£750m more was spent in first half of the year, than in the equivalent period on fuel.” Mr Philips explained how the increase in fuel prices has affected the company’s edge of town stores, adding: “People don’t want to drive out to them and then they have a lot of non-food in them and people are having to pare back on discretionary spend

Page 12

into food.” Mr Philips told Randall: “It’s true to say we have been trailing for quite a while, our leading competitors.” Results from Sainsbury’s revealed a better performance with like-for-like sales in the first half up by 1.9%. Unlike Tesco, its figures include VAT which has increased since last year. Sainsbury’s chief executive Justin King told Sky sales are up because bargain hunters find the prices they are looking for in its stores. “Customers show no sign of giving up on promotions. They love them whether they be 30% off, half price or buy one get one free,” he said. “They find them in Sainsbury’s - that’s why our sales are growing.” Dave McCarthy, retail analyst at Evolution Securities, said: “Tesco’s offer - in terms of quality, price and product availability - has deteriorated relative to its competition because the other stores have gotten better. “And the attempts Tesco has made over the past three years to try to rejuvenate its business haven’t caught the imagination of consumers.” Sainsbury’s has opted not to declare a new front in the supermarket price war but has changed its advertising and introduced special offers aimed at helping families to

“Live Well For Less”. Tesco’s latest strategy has been to invest £500m in a “Big Price Drop” campaign on everyday items instead of offering discounts for multiple purchases. But an investigation by industry magazine, The Grocer, suggested the supermarket has actually increased prices on some products to pay for

reductions on others. Its researchers selected 33 items to compare the supermarkets and found the price at Tesco had increased by £1.34 to £58.37 - and that the same goods were cheaper at both Sainsbury’s (£57.58) and Asda (£53.70). The half-yearly results were the first to have been revealed by Mr Clarke, who

is new to the top job and whose changes have included appointing Richard Brasher to become chief executive of its UK stores. Since then, the supermarket’s share of the grocery market has slipped to 30.4% from 30.8%, while Sainsbury’s and Morrisons have grown, according to the latest data from research firm

Kantar. But Tesco half profits are up to £1.92bn because of good international performances in Korea and Eastern Europe. The supermarket rivalry continued on the London Stock Exchange on Wednesday with Tesco shares down 0.6% at 377.9p in early trading - while Sainsbury’s shares were up 4.3% at 286.50p.

BBC to cut programmes and 2,000 jobs The BBC has announced it is cutting 2,000 jobs and scaling back programme production in order to save £700m.

The corporation said BBC Two’s daytime schedule will be mainly repeats, leaving original programmes only on BBC1. It is also cutting back on non news programmes in the UK nations and regions, as well as reducing its spending on sports rights by 15%. BBC director general Mark Thompson said: “This is a plan which puts productivity first.”

He added: “Its a plan for a smaller BBC but a BBC which uses it’s resources more effectively and collaboratively to deliver a full range of services to the public.” The plans, known as “delivering quality first” and aimed at reducing the budget by 20%, will also see the BBC completely pull out of its west London base. The Television Centre is already up for sale but now the neighbouring White City site will also be sold. But staff numbers are to be beefed up at the corpo-

ration’s new Salford base. The BBC insists it will protect some key areas including peak time programming on BBC One and BBC Two. It is also keeping Radio 4’s budget the same, while also protecting spending on children’s programmes. The BBC is making the cuts after the cost of the annual TV licence was frozen at £145.50 by the Government until 2017. The BBC is also now paying for operations like the World Service which had been financed by the Foreign Office.

Now it’s Downturn Abbey!

McGregor’s fears over

‘dumbed-down’ films THERE’S no doubt that TV viewers love Downton Abbey, but the number of adverts squeezed in by ITV during each show could soon be driving them away.

It is supposed to be the jewel in ITV’s schedule, but there is no escaping those wretched ads, which could harm viewing figures drastically as the eight-part, Sunday-night series gathers pace. The opening 90-minute episode of the period drama showed just 67 minutes of drama, while last Sunday’s 75-minute show had fallen to 54 minutes. Viewers are complaining that no sooner has a plotline got going than it has to be dropped again as the show goes to a break. Clearly, ITV has to sell ads around its

Page 14

programmes, particularly its flagship shows, because that’s how commercial broadcasters survive. But the channel is almost certainly overcooking things to draw in extra revenue. Ofcom, the independent broadcasting watchdog, says the number of ads in Downton doesn’t break any rules, and that there is no sign of viewers switching off yet because of them. But how long will it take before they switch the show off entirely? It still attracted an audience of more than 7.5million viewers on Sunday, but viewers are adamant the ads are spoiling the spectacle. One said: “The ad breaks, trails and sponsorship are killing the flow. It’s typical of ITV - they make something halfway decent, and it’s instantly sabotaged by the

irritating rubbish that interrupts it.” Another added: ‘Every time you start to get into it, there’s yet another marathon break to sabotage its continuity.” An angry supporter added: “Nice of ITV to broadcast a bit of Downton Abbey in between the ad breaks, while a furious watcher said: “These bloody adverts drive you mad. Each one last Sunday was over four minutes long, and the last one came five minutes from the end.” Some viewers have also complained that the pace of the storylines is too fast, and that the decision to jump months between episodes is leaving the series disjointed. An ITV spokesman said: “We followed the pattern as other 90-minute dramas. And don’t forget, we are a commercial broadcaster.”

Ewan McGregor has said he is worried audiences’ tastes are getting “dumbed down” by bigbudget films and admits the industry is in a “weird” place.

The Scottish actor is great supporter of independent films and for his latest, Perfect Sense, he reunites with Young Adam director David MacKenzie. McGregor plays a Glasgow chef in the film alongside Casino Royale actress Eva Green who appears as an epidemiologist. The unlikely pair fall in love as a virus sweeps across the world depriving the population of their senses one by one. McGregor admits it is a “very dramatic” and “unusual premise”. It’s a weird time for film and people are really excited about films that I think are probably not very exciting. I worry that our taste is getting dumbed down as well as we go on. I really think that’s a problem. He said: “In independent film you have a broader spectrum to explore ideas and statements.” The actor admitted many big-budget movies had become “bland” but funding for smaller, independent films is getting harder. He said: “It’s a weird time for film

and people are really excited about films that I think are probably not very exciting. “I worry that our taste is getting dumbed down as well as we go on. I really think that’s a problem.” In Perfect Sense, the characters first lose the ability to smell and then taste. Before this sense is lost, they are compelled to gorge on food - or whatever else they have to hand. For Green’s character, Susan, she has a bunch of flowers. “I ate real flowers,” Green revealed, “they were edible ones, and I ate lipstick and toothpaste... so you suffer for art.” “It was fine,” she added, “we had a bucket... it was actually quite fun, quite mad - I don’t think I will do that again.” McGregor shot to fame after appearing in Danny Boyle’s 1996 film Trainspotting. The Oscar winning director has spoken about doing a sequel but McGregor told Sky News he can not make a decision on his involvement until he has seen a script. “I have never seen the script for it. It’s never been sent to me to read,” he said. “I can’t say one way or another until I read it. I would read it, of course, if they sent me the sequel to Trainspotting and said ‘what do you think’, I would look at it but I haven’t.”

You’ve been tango’d A rare baby monkey has gingerly stepped into the world at its home in London.

Apple founder Jobs dies after his cancer battle Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has died at the age of 56 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer, the company has announced.

The Silicon Valley icon, who gave the world the iPod and the iPhone, had stepped down as chief executive of the world’s largest technology corporation in August. Mr Jobs, who underwent a liver transplant for pancreatic cancer in 2004, had served as Apple’s chairman since that resignation. A statement issued by Apple paid homage to its leader by changing its website homepage to a photograph of him with the caption “Steve Jobs: 1955-2011”. “Steve’s bril-

liance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives,” the statement said. “The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. “Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.” The flags outside the company’s headquarters at 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino, California, flew at half mast. Mr Jobs’ statement at the time of his resignation said: “I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. “Unfortunately, that

day has come. I hereby resign as CEO of Apple.” Mr Jobs founded Apple in 1976 along with Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. He had begun his third period of medical leave during a 14-year tenure as chief executive around 10 months ago. Microsoft Corp co-founder and chairman Bill Gates led the tributes to his long-time friend and competitor. “For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it’s been an insanely great honour,” Mr Gates said in a statement. “I will miss Steve immensely.” “Insanely great” was of one of Mr Jobs’ favourite expressions. His death comes just one day after the launch of the new iPhone 4S model.

The flame-haired primate, nicknamed Tango, was born at ZSL London Zoo on September 1 to first-time mother Lu Lu and father Neo. The family resemblance is not immediately clear - both parents have black fur but Tango is bright orange. The youngster, who is yet to be sexed, spends most of its time snuggled up to its mum but auntie Lee Lee also helps out with the babysitting. Zookeeper Kathryn Sanders said: “Baby Tango is currently rocking the redhead look, but it won’t actually be ginger for very long. “Its fur will begin to darken at around three months of age, and they are usually completely black by the time they reach six-months-old.” Francois Langurs are one of the world’s

rarest monkeys, and originate from north east Vietnam and China. Classed as critically endangered, their populations are declining rapidly because of habitat loss.

Benefits of our Special Zone By Christopher Pennington, Capecan Business Centre

THE Canary Islands’ special zone (ZEC) is a low-taxation incentive for companies which qualify under certain criteria. The ZEC operates under the (REF) Economic fiscal (tax) regime. The REF is a special economic framework, created especially for the Canaries, which operates under the authority of the EU. Its specific purpose is to promote social, economic and commercial development within the islands. What this means is that qualifying companies can apply to become ZEC entities IF they meet specific criteria. A company wishing to operate under the ZEC must: 1. Be a new entity within the Canary Islands (new SL company) 2. Employ a prearranged number of employees, on a part, full or quarter-time basis within the first six months. Employees can be of any nationality.

Dat’s the way to do it! Pets Portrait competition proves a real winner

ACCION del Sol’s great Pets Portrait Competition attracted nearly 300 entries, with Dat Desi’s cat, Cleo, proving triumphant after a close-run contest.

Their fabulous photograph together captured the judges’ eyes the most, and Dat wins a portrait version of the picture on canvas, donated by Angie, from Nu Arte Canvas Prints. In second place was Virginie Haas with her dog, while Selina Ann Dorrill-Bradley’s ferret Zorro came third. Karen Clack, Accion’s chief volunteer and event organiser, said: “All the entries were brilliant and in our eyes, the owners were all winners to have such gorgeous pets. “A great day was had by everyone, with lots of fun and activities to keep all the family amused, and the judges had a hard task choosing the winning pictures.” Marion Fernandez, who runs the dog rescue centre, thanked Janet Anscombe, Denis Kilner, Nikki Attree, Angie, Dominique Doring, Claire Myers, Johanna Stub De Polette and her family, and all the others who helped make the day such a superb success. Lots of the refuge dogs joined in the fun. They were all well-behaved, and there was good news after the competition when five dogs were rehomed. Even before then, eight lucky dogs went to Germany to new homes, but the same day there were four new arrivals at the refuge. So more loving homes are needed for these poor animals. If you have any thoughts of taking in a rescue dog, please visit the Accion del Sol sanctuary, based directly next to ITER, the windmill parque at Poligono Industrial Estate, junction 51, north-bound on the TF1. It would help enormously if you could even take a dog or a walk, so if you are interested, do pop in to the centre, which is open from Monday to Friday between 3-6pm, or call 922 778 630 for more information.

THE X FACTOR 7:30 - 10.00 PM - ITV1 Dermot O’Leary presents the first of the live shows. After weeks of gruelling auditions, thousands of hopeful contestants have been whittled down to just 16 acts, and now they take to the stage to perform in front of the judges, the audience and the viewers at home. The performers have been split into four sections– Gary Barlow is mentoring the boys (aged 16 to 28), Kelly Rowland is looking af-

ter the girls (aged 16 to 28), Louis Walsh is helping the over- 28's and Tulisa Contostavlos is guiding the groups. In past series, Louis has over seen one winning act and two runners-up, but how will the new judges get on as they look after their first batch of performers? They are each hoping that they can uncover future stars, but will their musical instincts serve them well? The performance show goes out on Saturday night,

with each of the acts singing again. Then the voting lines open and viewers have the chance to vote for their favourite act to save them from elimination. On Sunday, Dermot reveals how the public have voted. The two acts with the fewest votes must take part in a sing-off, before Louis, Gary, Tulisa and Kelly decide who is going home. There is also a live performance from 2010 winner Matt Cardle.

GAME OF THRONES - Season 1 9:00 - 10.20 PM - SKY ATLANTIC Summers span decades, winters can last a lifetime, and the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plots, lusts and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights

and renegades, liars, lords and honest men... all will play the 'Game of Thrones.' A Night's Watch deserter is tracked down outside of Winterfell, prompting swift justice by Lord Eddard "Ned" Stark and raising concerns about the dangers in the lawless lands north of the Wall. Returning home, Ned learns from his wife Catelyn that his mentor, Jon Arryn, has died in the Wes-

teros capital of King's Landing, and that King Robert is on his way north to offer Ned Arryn's position as the King's Hand. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea in Pentos, Viserys Targaryen hatches a plan to win back the throne, which entails forging an allegiance with the nomadic Dothraki warriors by giving its leader, Khal Drogo, his lovely sister Daenerys' hand in marriage.

land work from catwalks to catalogues. The show features a flamboyant cast of teachers and wannabes, including no nonsense principal Debbie King, catwalk professor Mr Fierce and Demetri, the head of hair and makeup, who expects his students to demonstrate determination, passion, stamina, patience, drive

–and a thick skin. The models also receive guidance and support from former male model Matthew Holbrook. Matthew has appeared in the pages of Vogue and GQ magazines, so he really knows what the business is like for working models. In the first episode, Debbie and the teachers try to turn 15 students into

models in just four days. With casting agents turning up at the end of the bootcamp, the staff have their work cut out for them. The students are told that they must do a nude photoshoot, but how will they react? Plus guest designer Anoosh causes fireworks at a shoot when he has a run-in with Demetri.

11:20 pm - BBC1 This modernization of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac casts Steve Martin as C. D. Bates, the fearless, quick-witted fire chief of a Washington State resort town. Bates' most trusted fireman is the handsome but tongue-tied Chris McDonell (Rick Rossovich). Both men are in love with the beauti-

ful Roxanne Kowalski (Darryl Hannah), but Bates, adorned with a huge nose that makes Bob Hope look like Nanette Fabray, is convinced that he's too homely to win Roxanne's heart. Thus, in the self-sacrificing tradition of Cyrano de Bergerac, Bates courts Roxanne vicariously by feeding his rival Chris the proper ro-

5:15 ��Pointless

mantic words and phrases. The inherent pathos in Roxanne is offset by moments of slapstick, notably the scene wherein C. D. Bates vanquishes a pair of hooligans with a tennis racket. Steve Martin himself is credited with the screenplay for Roxanne, though he generously cites Edmond Rostand as his inspiration.

JOANNA LUMLEY'S GREEK ODYSSEY 9:00 - 10:00pm - ITV1 Joanna Lumley makes an extraordinary journey through the vast and varied landscape of Greece, where she mingles with the locals, travels through stunning scenery and tries to find out what makes this fascinating country tick. She begins her odyssey in Athens at the Parthenon, which was built by the ancient Greeks two and a half thousand years ago at the dawn of western civilisation. From Athens, Joanna travels

Fake iPhone 5s hit China

before the real thing

There is widespread speculation about when Apple will launch the iPhone 5 - but fake versions of the smartphone have already been available in China for weeks.

One rumour suggested Apple could unveil iPhone at an event in California later today - although some say it will merely be a showcase for the upgraded iPhone 4S. The specifications of the iPhone 5 are a tightly-held secret. But at the Fangshitong Market in Beijing, fake iPhone 5s are selling for as little as £28 each. Traders also sell counterfeit iPhone 3s and 4s, as well as knock-off BlackBerries and Nokia smartphones. “The designs were stolen from Apple and posted on the internet,” said one stallholder who would identify himself only as Mr Chen. He claimed his top-range

model - selling for £70 - was “exactly the same” as the real iPhone 5. Other traders at the market admitted that they could not be sure their fake iPhone 5s resembled Apple’s latest design. The counterfeit versions come without a warranty and with touch screens that are noticeably less responsive than the genuine article. Police recently arrested five

men in Shanghai for making and selling fake iPhones. Earlier this year authorities shut down two unauthorised but elaborately faked ‘Apple Stores’ in the city of Kunming. Yet despite occasional crackdowns, China’s trade in fake goods continues to flourish. The country is said to be the global hub for a trade in counterfeiting worth over £100bn a year.

Budgeting makes a comeback for the newly prudent consumer With stagnating house prices, bleak unemployment data and a Eurozone in crisis, it’s no surprise that consumers have continued to re-assess their approach to the way they manage their finances.

Indeed, according to new research from Mintel, the tough economic climate has prompted almost half (45%) of the population to change their attitudes towards borrowing money. It seems that the economic climate has created a new breed of prudent consumer with a return to the traditional virtues of budgeting and sound financial management. Mintel’s research highlights that almost two fifths (38%) of the population can be described as “newly prudent” - with attitudes changed post recession. These consumers have re-evaluated their approach to managing debt, and take a hard line on spending - if they can’t afford to buy it now, then they won’t borrow to pay for it. Toby Clark, Head of Financial Services Research at Mintel, said: “Economic difficulties have made their mark on consumer behaviour in both the here-and-now and into the future. In the short-term, this return to a more debt-averse mindset could spell further pain for retailers and other businesses relying on consumer spend. But over the longer-term, a more prudent approach to managing household finances can only be a positive, for consumers and for the economy as a whole.” Within Mintel’s research, a quarter (25%)

Page 38

of consumers claimed to be “Well Prepared” for the slowdown and 37% claimed to be “Stretched”. However “The Newly Prudent” made up the largest group at 38% - who have been shocked into reassesing their spending and borrowing habits. Overall, two thirds (64%) British consumers said that if they can’t afford to buy something without borrowing to pay for it, then they won’t buy it - and almost as many (59%) disagreed with the statement that ‘I tend to spend now and worry about it later’. A further 56% of Brits claim that they have got some savings to draw on in case of emergencies. The research also highlights the difference age makes to financial mindset - but the responses don’t follow the straightforward, linear progression from old to young that some might expect. Over seven in ten (75%) over-55s won’t buy something if it means borrowing money, the same proportion have emergency savings and just 7% say that they ‘spend now and worry about it later’. But

while under-25s are more likely to have a ‘spend now, think about it later’ approach (26% of this group claim to do this), they’re actually more likely than 25-44-year-olds to have some savings to draw on (56% of under 25s versus 49% 25-44-year-olds), and are as likely as consumers overall (62%) to say that they won’t borrow money to buy things that they can’t afford. But overall it appears Brits are continuing their sensible financial attitudes when it comes to credit. Indeed, the majority of Brits (64%) claim to usually clear their credit card balance each month (compared to the 11% who pay the minimum) and nearly one in five (19%) have tried to reduce the amount they use their credit card over the past two years. Over one in ten (13%) Brits have applied for a credit card in the past 12 months. Alarmingly though, it appears not all Brits are completely aware of their financial credit situations - as a massive 15% claim they are not sure what the annual APR is on their credit card.

Price comparison sites - it’s a click with 60% of Brits With time at a premium, a difficult economic climate and busy schedules prevailing, initiatives promising to save both time and money have proved big winners with consumers in recent years.

Proving this point, new research from Mintel finds as many as 60% of Brits are “most likely” to use a price comparison site when researching or buying a financial product - earning them the position as the most popular source of financial information in the UK today. Indeed, it seems the new breed of online aggregators - involving campaign stars such as meerkats and opera singers - have really hit a high note with today’s consumers, as in just one decade price comparison sites have leapt well ahead of friends and family (42%), their next biggest rival as a source of financial information. Although they are still mostly used for home and motor insurance, Brits are branching out and using them to arrange a wide range of financial products. Almost a fifth (18%) of Brits have researched at least seven products through these price comparison sites, while only a quarter (27%) of consumers have not researched any products at all via an aggregator. Toby Clark, Head of UK Financial Services Research, said: “Price-comparison sites are now part of the financial landscape. They are one of the first places people look when thinking about arranging financial products, and most internet users have researched at least one product through them. General insurance, and motor insurance in particular, still accounts for the larger part of the market, but consumers are showing a greater willingness to move past home and motor, and to use the sites for the likes of savings accounts and credit cards.”

Almost half (46%) of all internet users have researched motor insurance through a price comparison site with the majority of these researchers (80%) having gone on to buy cover through this channel. The growing influence of the aggregators in the home insurance market is also highlighted by the research as a quarter (26%) of all internet users have now arranged home cover through a comparison site. Outside general insurance, aggregators play a lesser role. Around 15% of consumers have bought a credit card or cash ISA, and as many as quarter (27%) have researched a cash ISA, while slightly less (25%) have researched a credit card – still a sizeable proportion of the market, but well short of figures seen in the general insurance market. When asked what they look for in a price-comparison site, the lowest price at 57% is the number one factor, but it’s only just ahead of the level of cover (50%). Accuracy (21%) is an issue for consumers, but it is a long way behind price and the level of cover. Similarly, only 14% say that “clear and transparent comparisons” are a particularly important factor. “One of the major concerns for the industry regulators is the accuracy and transparency of the quotes and comparisons made by aggregators. The use of assumptions by comparison sites can lead to the final quote being significantly differ-

ent to the initial price and regulators and insurers alike have voiced concerns about what this could mean for the efficient functioning of the market. Interestingly, while these are valid concerns, they do not feature particularly highly on consumers’ wish lists of aggregator qualities.” Toby continues. Among extensive users of the sites, attitudes tend to be more positive – but even the most committed users have reservations about coverage, trust and transparency. Generally, attitudes are positive towards price comparison sites. Two thirds (67%) agree that aggregators do a good job, and that they save time (65%). People are keenly aware of their limitations though, as half say they are flawed because they don’t cover the whole market (47%) and more than half (55%) see them as no more than a starting point. “Consumers are developing a sophisticated understanding of how best to use aggregators. They appreciate the time-saving aspect, but still have reservations about coverage, and the sites are viewed in a pretty functional light. This contributes to the limited amount of differentiation in the market and, in turn, the lack of consumer loyalty. A site that can prove to consumers that it is as much about product evaluation as price comparison could develop a major competitive advantage.” Toby concludes.

Gardening good for kids

If you can drag children away from the TV or their electronic devices then teaching children how to garden helps them to become responsible, realise where food comes from and calms their behaviour, a new survey suggests.

In a recent Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) poll it was revealed that more than eight in 10 (81.6%) parents garden with their children. However, the parents of today may be overtaken by their own children and parents, because few of them were taught to garden at school. The RHS warned that a lack of gardening instruction at school had left today’s generation of parents without proper horticultural knowledge. Less than 1% (0.6%) of parents were taught to garden by a school teacher, the RHS claimed, compared with 55% of grandparents and 40% of children. Just 26% of parents said they had a school garden when they were a child, while 58.8% said their child now has ac-

cess to a school garden, with 76.2% revealing their youngster uses the facility. Sue Biggs, director-general of the RHS, said: “These findings suggest that today’s parents, who attended school during the 1980s and 90s, missed out on a huge opportunity, especially as gardening dropped off the agenda. “When children learn to garden it is a skill that stays with them for life, something they will use and fall back on as they grow up. This is evident from the grandparents we surveyed, among whom nearly 80% say they like to garden, and more than a third of them grow their own fruit and vegetables. “From the schools we work with we know they are desperate for more help from local parents and other adults to build and maintain school gardens. But with 65% of parents admitting that their own parents (now grandparents) know more about gardening than they do, and nearly half believing their own children, aged 4-11, have equal or better horticultural knowledge than themselves, it would seem today’s parents are shy of volunteering their time probably due to a lack of knowledge.”

A World Cup contest! IT’S the world cup, it rivals Chelsea, but it’s not football, rugby or cricket – it’s gardening.

Japan is proving it is well on the road to recovery, following the devastating earthquake and tsunami, as it prepares for a star studded international gardening championship this weekend. Last year’s show saw 100,000 people visiting in the first week and the show was so popular that it was extended by a further three months. The event proved how capable the Japanese are at taking ideas from others and making them more successful. The organisers, backed by a budget of several million, have made it clear that they want to rival the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show and are setting out to steal its crown with this year’s event. The only gardening show of its kind in Japan and the world it takes place in the South East near Nagasaki. It is situated in the palace grounds of Huis Ten Bosch, a 375 acre theme park built as an astonishing replica of a Dutch town complete with windmills, villas, palaces, canals and tulip fields. With its proximity to Nagasaki, the theme is deliberately, ‘gardens for world peace and a prayer for Japanese recovery’. This year it is being held in aid of the victims of the Japanese Tsunami. However, one English designer’s hopes of world cup gardening glory in Japan have been thwarted by a snail. The slimy stowaway was found in a consignment of Lake District artefacts intended for the garden Jonathan Denby has designed. Japanese quarantine conditions have meant that the entire shipment has had to be returned

to England and Mr Denby has only days to redesign and replace the items he can no longer use. The designer was hoping to create a genuine slice of the Lake District in Japan in recognition of the Japanese love of the peaceful area and the characters created by Beatrix Potter. Fortunately for Mr Denby statues of Peter Rabbit and Mr McGregor, for his ‘Mr McGregor’s Garden’, which travelled out with him in one large suitcase marked “Fragile” arrived intact following a journey in five taxis, two planes, two trains and a bus. “The Japanese adore the Lake District and I wanted visitors to see what a real Lake District cottage garden would look like. I’m bitterly disappointed that this wretched snail has taken away a lot of the true authenticity of my garden. I will replace the Lakeland slate walls with a wooden fence and the limestone paths with grass. It will still look good and I’m sure the Japanese will adore it with Peter Rabbit there, but that snail has a lot to answer for. I am a champion of living life the ‘Slow Life’, so it’s rather ironic that my plans have been thwarted by a snail” said Mr Denby. The snail is not the only disaster to have plagued Mr Denby, who lives in Grange-over-Sands, since arriving in Japan to build his garden. He has battled with torrential rain, a burst water pipe and a mad dash to secure plants. Unlike gardening events such as the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, the two week period on site includes sourcing plants, meeting the build team and completing a garden that could be on show for as long as four months when one week is the norm. They have also been given tight budgets to work too.

7 October - 13 October 2011

Snoop digs record-breaking vegetable A Welsh gardener has told Sky News he would be happy to share his vegetable-growing secrets with Snoop Dogg, who paid tribute to his giant swede.

Last month, Ian Neale from Newport earned a place in horticultural history by cultivating the 38.8kg (85.5lb) swede. His efforts won praise from the unlikeliest of people - cannabis activist and hip-hop superstar Snoop. In a short YouTube clip, the rapper - wearing a Cardiff City football jersey and standing in front of a marijuana-plant background - sends a “shout out” to Mr Neale. “Man, I want

to tell you something, when I do my show in Cardiff, I want you to come backstage and see me because I do vegetation myself and I want to know your secret,” he says in the video. “So Ian Neale... come see your boy Snoop Dogg, I’ve got two tickets for you when I get to town. Ya dig?” The American star is performing at Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena this Saturday, October 8. Mr Neale told Sky News Online: “I’ve never heard of him... I’m a country and western man myself.” The 68-year-old has been growing oversized vegetables for 30 years, and has previously produced a beetroot weighing 23.5kg (51.5lbs) and cucumber that grew to 107cm (42.12in).

But the retiree does not believe in keeping his growing techniques all to himself. “You shouldn’t let secrets go to the grave,” he said. “When you get to a show, we all talk about how we plant them and what liquid feed we use.” Mr Neale said he had decided to take Snoop up on his offer after a woman who works with him told him off for not accepting the free tickets. “She nearly wiped the floor with me... So we’re going to go along together,” he said. In June, Snoop recorded a video message wishing Coronation Street a happy 50th anniversary. It came after he revealed his desire to get a cameo on the long-running soap.

carl pattison from Robot, answers your hair questions

Look on the dark side! MAYBE it’s time you thought about a new you. Sick of seeing dry, brittle hair? Lost your shine and gloss? Then perhaps you should try out a darker you. It’s not going to be a solution for everyone, but returning to your natural shade - or even darker - will give life to any type of hair. Blondes never shine because they just don’t reflect the light. But darks always do, which is why they appear healthier and more alive. Returning to a more natural shade couldn’t be easier, and, with a lower percentage of peroxide than blonder shades, say, then it’s sure to add back to your hair all that you may think to be lost. Going dark again, or adding some browner tones to your hair, always gives it a sleeker look. Even adding a touch of a warm shade to the dark will really add to the shine factor. So if you have been putting your hair through some torture over the years with hi-lights and hair irons, then maybe you should give a darker shade a try, Even if your hair is absolutely ruined, the darker shades will bring it back to life because, when the colour enters the hair, the colour molecules “fill in” the gaps produced by over-

Eugeni’s got the cure right at his fingertips bleaching and ironing. Therefore, the result will be glossier as darker colours always reflect the light, and, even if the damaged hair is still present underneath the new colour, it won’t be anywhere near as noticeable. One word of warning, though. If you are colouring over-bleached or very light, blonde-tinted hair, or even natural blonde, you need to know that most darker shades are NOT removable. Don’t even think about going back blonde over the dark shade as it will either leave the hair in very bad

condition and/or broken off and yellowy-orange (check out Jordan’s hair of a few months ago). The hair can take only so much and will not stand to be darkened and lightened repeatedly. Your new, darker tresses are going to need plenty of aftercare to stop the colour fading and looking dull. So always use a colourguard shampoo, conditioner and masque to keep those new, glossy locks in peak condition. And always consult your stylist before any colour change.

Cuticle care not so simple IT is not possible to have healthy nails without healthy cuticles, but cuticle care may not always be as straightforward as it seems.

True nail care starts at the root, which is the living part of the nail. This is the matrix, protected by the cuticle. It’s why good nail-care products pay special attention to the cuticles and especially to moisturising. Unfortunately, poor manicures are one of the most common causes of nail problems. Every experienced technician has seen them, but signs of bad manicuring include ridges, dents or nicks in the nails and a pink inflamed cuticle. The cuticle is actually designed to protect the nail by sealing off the opening between skin and nail. It needs to be kept soft and pliable and separate from the nail, but it shouldn’t actually open up and separate too far, or dirt, detergents, chemicals and even nail polish can get into the matrix and cause infection. Infections around the cuticles and folds of skin surrounding the nail are called paronchial infections and result in the area becoming inflamed, swollen and sore. The cuticle may lift away from the base of the nail and even produce puss when pressed. Bacterial and fungal dis-

eases are also common. The area is surprisingly vulnerable to injury and disease, which is why most problems are caused by everyday chemicals, excess exposure to water and local trauma - including over-zealous cuticle pushing or clipping. Since the cuticle and nail fold can be pushed, sliced or softened too far, it is important during treatment to remember to keep bacteria and foreign objects out of the way. Rough cuticle work can actually contribute to long-term nail damage, so technique is very important. That’s why cuticles should never be truly removed or even pushed back too firmly but persuaded gently and with great care - and undertaken only when the area is properly softened. Cuticle preparations are usually naturally caustic and may, therefore, lead to further drying out of the surrounding skin and possibly to hangnails. These are usually self inflicted, either through injury from picking the skin and cuticle around the nails, poor home-manicuring and even accidental injuries like paper cuts. Excessive dryness is another chief cause since dried-out skin loses elasticity, becoming more likely to crack and split at the side of the nail, leaving a painful tag of skin which catches on virtually eve-

rything including clothes, tights and even hair. It is tempting to bite or pull them, but the tearing action is unpredictable and many times can stretch too far, leading to sore, inflamed, broken and even bleeding skin. Instead, it needs correct trimming with cuticle nippers and good prevention techniques, such as massaging the area with correct oils and creams - several times if necessary. If work involves repeated wetting and drying of hands (nurses, hairdressers, bar workers and cleaners are often most at risk) it would be better to wear rubber gloves with cotton liners whenever possible at home if not at work - in order to try to reduce the severity of the problem.

Treating hangnails with minimum discomfort CUTICLE nippers should be held in the palm of the hand, with the index finger under its jaws for maximum control.

The jaws should remain closed on the approach to the hangnail, then opened slightly in a tweezer-like movement to remove the tip of the hangnail. It is better to trim a little at a time rather than risk nipping too much at once.

It is never advisable to use cuticle nippers as a shortcut to cuticle care. Over-use of nippers can lead to overthickening of the cuticle skin. ‘Towel rolling’ is another way of lifting excess cuticle away from the nail plate. A disposable cloth wipe can be dipped in a plain water or a diluted hand bath, wrapped around the thumbnail, then traced around the cuticle with three or four firm movements, following the line of the cuticle. It eases back the cuticle and

lifts any loose skin without causing damage. Horizontal grooves in the nail result from injury or interruption to the matrix (illness and drug treatment may have a similar result), which alters nail development and rubbing the area - a common habit - may be the cause of injury, or poor manicuring, including the use of sharp implements. The deformity usually grows out gut may take anything from four months

to two years to disappear completely. Homecare is so important to keep the cuticles healthy and flexible. For example, a cuticle cream can be used twice a day and, preferably, an oil in the evening. The best way to apply them is to use the ball of the thumb in small, firm rotating movements, which stimulate the local circulation, boost nailcell production and growth, and add a healthy pink glow beneath the nail.

Costa Coffee racks up its 2000th store Costa Coffee opened its 2000th coffee shop this week in Leeds. The international brand Costa operates across 25 international markets. In the first six months of the year Costa opened 145 stores around the world, including stores in China and India and is planning to open around 300 further stores this year.

Costa has a growth programme targeting 3,500 stores globally by 2015/16. The new Leeds Briggate store is also the first site outside of London to have the new look ‘Metropolitan’ design. The opening has created 20 new jobs in Leeds. John Derkach, managing director of Costa, said: “Costa is enjoying fantastic growth both in the UK and overseas. We’re delighted to have reached this milestone of 2000 stores around the world as we strive to make Costa the world’s favourite coffee shop brand.”

Food & wine destinations TRIPADVISOR®, this week announced the winners of its Travellers’ Choice Food and Wine Destinations awards, as decided by travellers themselves.

In a nod to the UK’s culinary prowess, two British destinations made the European top 10 – York and Edinburgh – placing fifth and tenth respectively, while London was conspicuous in its absence. Italy dominated claiming five of the top 10 spots, including Florence in first place. Spain boasts two cities in the list, while the time-honoured food and wine capital of the world, France, only has one entry with Paris. “These awards recognise Europe’s best food and wine destinations according to millions of TripAdvisor travellers. With tough competition from destinations renowned for their culinary expertise, the UK should be proud to claim two top 10 spots, with York now well and truly establishing its place on Europe’s gastro tourism map,” commented Emma Shaw, TripAdvisor spokesperson. Taking fifth place in Europe, York claims Britain’s top spot in the gastronomy stakes. Its annual York Food and Drink Festival, celebrating local food and good wine, this year brought in approximately half a million visitors, cementing York as a true foodie destination. Gillian Cruddas MBE, Chief Executive of Visit York said, “We are delighted by this news. York really is a foodie haven with so many quality local producers, award winning restaurants and speciality markets. We have just enjoyed the city’s most successful festival of food and drink ever, where we had everything on the menu from Yorkshire reared venison with chocolate sauce to mouth-watering Wensleydale cheeses.” “We are delighted with this accolade which is a tribute to York and Yorkshire’s great food producers and chefs.” Proving that Scotland clearly has more to offer than haggis and deep-fried Mars bars, Edinburgh is officially named one of Europe’s ten best cities for food and wine. Scotland’s capital is a foodie haven, offering cuisines from all over the world and good restaurants to suit any budget.

Edinburgh, UK “Britain can now lay claim to two of Europe’s best food and wine destinations. For years other nationalities have derided Britain’s gastronomic credentials so let’s hope this marks the demise of the outdated bad food reputation. With world-famous chefs, cuisines from all over the planet and restaurants to suit every budget, Britain has earned its stripes as a foodie haven.” TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice winners are based on the millions of reviews and opinions from travellers around the world. Winners were determined based on the most highly rated food and wine destinations by travellers in TripAdvisor reviews.

Dreamliner jets into Japan

The first delivery of Boeing’s new 787 Dreamliner - described as the world’s most advanced jetliner has taken place after years of delays.

The aircraft left the assembly plant in Everett near Seattle, US, and arrived in Tokyo. At a handover from Boeing to a Japanese airline, staff who helped build it proudly walked in front of the Dreamliner as it taxied down the runway. It took off without any problems after a ceremonial key for the plane had been presented to an executive from Japan’s All Nippon Airways (ANA). Just over nine hours later it landed at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport in front of spectators who had wanted to catch a glimpse of the first twin-engine, lightweight jetliner. The aircraft’s blue and white fuselage has a large

787 emblazoned across its 58-metre body. Boeing has wrestled for years with delays to production, caused largely by problems with a number of companies that supplied parts for the plane. The new airliner is larger than earlier generations but has been described as superefficient. Its Rolls Royce and General Electric engines use 20% less fuel than existing planes of a similar size and it has a range of more than 8,000 miles. Up to 250 passengers can be carried and they will enjoy improved humidity and environmental control. The Dreamliner will go into service for ANA on October 26. Now Boeing faces the monumental task of producing the airplane at a rate of 10 a month by the end of 2013. Airlines have ordered more than 800 of the planes that will compete with the Airbus A350 at a cost of over £95bn.

Travelodge expand in Spain TRAVELODGE strengthened its presence in Spain this week by opening its fourth hotel in Valencia and starts building work on a new 250-room hotel in Barcelona Rambla Poble Nou. Both hotels represent a combined investment of £40 million and will create 66 new jobs.

Page 44

The new Valencia Travelodge is located at the airport – which is Spain’s eighth busiest airport and annually serves 6.5 million passengers. The 116-room hotel represents a £10 million investment in Spain’s third largest city and has created 16 new jobs. Rooms are available from 20 Euros. The Barcelona Rambla Poble Nou Travelodge which is scheduled to open in

spring 2013 is located in the heart of the business district (at @22 Barcelona). The ten storey hotel represents a £30 million investment and will create 50 new jobs. These two properties have boosted Travelodge’s Spanish portfolio to five hotels and 602 rooms. The budget hotel chain already has an 83-room hotel in Barcelona Hospitalet and two hotels in Spain’s capital city Madrid – which include a 153-room property at Torrelaguna and a 74-room hotel in Las Rozas. Guy Parsons, Travelodge CEO, commented: “With the opening of our Valencia Travelodge, we now have hotels in Spain’s top three largest cities. We know our low cost business model works perfectly in the Spanish market. Therefore we are accelerating forward with our expansion programme. Not only are we starting work on a 250 room hotel in Barcelona, we also expect to begin construction of a further two hotels, (295 rooms) within the next six months.” “The demand for branded budget accommodation is rapidly growing across Spain. It’s been a good summer for Travelodge with total sales growth of 21% and brand occupancy of 83% across our Spanish hotels. Similar to the UK market, the recession has forced many Spanish businesses and financial institutions to make cutbacks. As a result, we have seen a significant rise in corporate business come through our doors. In addition to the corporate business, we have also experienced an increase across the tourism sector. Over the last 12 months, 65% of Spaniards have taken a Staycation break. Just like Britons, price is a key decid-

ing factor for the Spanish domestic market, when booking a hotel room. By offering rooms from 20 Euros we have been able to capitalise upon this growing market. Also since Spain is a world-wide renowned holiday destination, 40 million tourists have visited the country this year. This is an eight per cent increase in visitor numbers compared to 2010. As a result of this growing trend our hotels in Spain’s capital city and Barcelona have greatly benefited from international business.” The Spanish tourism industry accounts for over 10.5% of the GDP and its growth has been more positive than the overall Spanish economy with a year on year growth of 1.4%. Guy Parsons continued; “The opportunity to grow in Spain is enormous. The branded budget hotel sector represents just 1.9%* of total hotel stock. This is substantially lower than other European countries such as France which is 24% and the UK which currently stands at 16%. Our target is to have 1,100 hotels by 2025 and Spain will play a fundamental part of our growth strategy. Our aim is to have at least 100 hotels in Spain’s top cities.” With over 2.5million visitors annually visiting Valencia, the new Travelodge hotel has got off to a flying start with a high level of bookings. Room rates start from 20 Euros. Each room has en-suite facilities, a luxury king Size bed, air conditioning / heating, a flat screen TV and Internet connection. The hotel also has a Bar Café which offers a 24-hour food and drink service.

No harm done by going soft on the new Panda! FIAT’S next-generation of Panda, now built in Italy instead of Poland, which makes a lot of sense, was unveiled at last month’s Frankfurt Motor Show to much acclaim

The new model, which goes on sale next Spring, is slightly wider and longer than its predecessor. It has been given a ‘softer’, more curved styling at the front, but still manages to retain the Panda’s distinctive, upright stance. Fiat are adamant it can carry five passengers at a pinch - helped by new, thinner seatbacks that free up space. The cabin gets more body-coloured mouldings in the fascia, to those in the 500, which shares many of the same underpinnings - and a deep dashboard pocket ahead of the passenger. There’s a rear seat that folds and slides, and the front passenger’s seat backrest can fold forwards to become a table. The engine line-up will include a pair of two-cylinder petrol units (a 64bhp motor and a turbocharged 84bhp version), and a 1.3-litre, four-cylinder 74bhp diesel.

FIAT’S next-generation of Panda

Jaguar XF is Auto Express delivery of the decade AUTO EXPRESS, the UK car magazine which is highly respected by the trade and motoring enthusiasts alike, has named the Jaguar XF as its car of the decade.

7 October - 13 October 2011

The award comes after the Jag’s exceptional performance in the magazine’s Driver Power satisfaction surveys over the last 10 years. More than 300,000 readers aired their views about hundreds of cars, and the XF emerged as the model buyers were most satisfied with. Jaguar chief Dr Ralph Speth, who was presented with the award at the company’s Castle Bromwich factory, said: “We are humbled by Jaguar owners voting in such a way. “It’s a tremendous achievement for everyone in Jaguar from the people here at Castle Bromwich who have been building the car since 2008 to the engineers, the designers and the dealers.” Graham Hope, Acting Editor of Auto Express, who presented the award, said: “Jaguar’s XF is a thoroughly deserving winner. “Over the past 10 years, more than 302,000 Auto Express readers have told us what they like and dislike about their cars, and no model has demonstrated such consistent all-round ability as the XF. “It’s fantastic to drive and extremely well built - a tribute to the skilled workforce at Castle Bromwich.”

All these engines get ‘stopstart’ as standard, although the remaining option, a 68bhp, 1.2-litre petrol, I excluded from this little luxury. There’s no word yet on a successor to the 100HP performance model, but it’s almost certainly on the cards, while an automatic option, linked to the two-cylinder engines, will arrive soon after launch. The Panda’s chassis set-up remains the same, with MacPherson suspension at the front and a torsion beam at the rear. The initial models will all be frontwheel drive, but Fiat have also confirmed that a four-wheeldrive variant is planned. And here’s a mind-blowing statistic: by next year’s launch date, there will be more than 600 possible model configurations, thanks to four engines, three trim levels, 10 body colours, four interior colours, two

hub caps and a choice of 14in or 15in alloy wheels. Fiat, the largest Italian car manufacturer by far, and renowned for their reliability, are bolstering the Panda’s line-up of safety kit for the new generation. That means the car will carry four airbags, front seat-belt pre-tensioners and daytime running lights as standard. Also scheduled, within a year of the new Panda’s launch, is a system that detects obstacles at speeds of up to 20mph and slows the car automatically. The car will be built at Fiat’s Pomigliano factory in Naples from late autumn, taking Panda production away from the Polish plant that builds the 500. How much will it cost? The good news is that you can expect pricing to stick closely to that of the outgoing car, so the range should start from around £8,500.

Match Report By Geoff Huxtable THERE was no doubting that last Friday’s big match was the top-three tie at Cozy Wanderers as leaders Nauta paid a visit. And despite John and Tam hitting maximums, it was the seemingly-invincible Nauta lads who played out yet another stunning 8-0 victory. Bar 180 A matched that scoreline at Gaffers, while Del Boy and Paul Pod Mason hit 180s for Phoenix during a 6-2 win over Tavern. Cafe Roods Luc hit his sixth 180 during a crunching home defeat at the hands of La Central, and Ensecan moved up two places with a fine 6-2 success over the X-Men. Target Army put their stablemates to the sword with an 8-0 whitewash, while The Pub repeated that feat against Bar 180 B. Elsewhere, Barracudarts squeaked the three points at Valle Vikings, and Toscales made light work of things at Yelas.

Surprise result in Division 2 was Scruffy Macs’ defeat at Naughty Nautas, which enabled Ourplace Naturals to leapfrog them into second spot after they thumped Sunshine bar 7-1. Sundowners are now five points clear at the top, although they had to win the trebles leg to secure a win at Tenerife Sun. And Cafe Rood B are still in the hunt for promotion with a good result at Bad Girls/ Boys. Lucky Leprechaun beat La Cana Lancers and pulled themselves away from the wooden-spoon zone, while Marilyns’ last leg win earned them a draw at Palms Sports Bar. Ever-youthful Phoenix Flames player Elaine threw the winning darts in the only two games they won at Summerland Hopefuls, and Trap Door moved up to 12th with a fine 6-2 success over the Playgirls.

Gaffers topple Tenerife conquer Montañeros Trap Door kings Email: roscoe@canarianweekly.com

CD Tenerife 3 Montañeros 0

THIS was much more like it. Tenerife needed to get back on the horse after a disappointing defeat at Getafe B last weekend, and they did just that against a poor provincial side. The visitors from northern Spain were made to look like cannon-fodder as Tenerife toyed with them in uncharacteristically cloudy conditions. Tenerife needed just seven minutes to open the scoring. A storming Cristobal run was never tracked and the rightback’s fine cross picked out the unmarked Ferran. He swept the ball past the keeper to give the hosts the perfect start. Fifteen minutes later it was 2-0 as the Montañeros defence sat back again and let Tenerife run at them. This time it was man-of-thematch Kitoko who surged forward. The visitors allowed him the freedom of Santa Cruz, and his shot from the edge of the box got a wicked deflection. The ball looped over the defence, the keeper and Uncle Tom Cobley to nestle in the back of the net. Perona and Bravo both squandered chances to make it three before the break, but the match was already won. The second half was a mainly

NEWLY-PROMOTED Gaffers A have claimed a few scalps in the first season of top-flight action, and they claimed another on Tuesday.

drab affair as Tenerife knocked the ball around like a training session and the visitors were outclassed. Two minutes from time, captain Kiko headed in from a corner to go a small way to making up for his penalty shocker last weekend. The win keeps Tenerife on the coat-tails of leaders Lugo, who beat Gran Canarians Vecindario 3-1. More importantly, they now have a four-point gap over fifth-placed Real Madrid Castilla, whom Tenerife face this Sunday. It’s an 11am BST kick-off in the capital, and Tenerife must be confident of another three points. Last Sunday, Castilla lost their heads as they went down 4-2 at Roda. They had two players sent off inside 15 minutes. It’s good to see Jose Mourinho’s methods are being passed down! Castilla are, of course, Real’s reserves and they are packed with talented youngsters. Real have high hopes for the two strikers, Alvaro Morata and Joselu. Morata helped himself to 15 goals last season and was the key player as Spain won the European Under-19s tournament in the summer. He made his first-team debut against Deportivo La Coruña

last season alongside Joselu, who scored with his first touch! The lanky Morata is dwarfed by German-born Joselu, who was snapped up from Celta Vigo a few years ago. They both have bright futures. While Castilla are all about the future, Tenerife are about the present. Both sides are desperate to go up F

and even though the Roda loss was the hosts’ first, they have struggled a bit. Tenerife have no such worries and, after the last run of matches, they have the best defence in the league. Unbelievable Jeff! Coach Antonio Calderon has a fully-fit squad to select from, but he is keeping his feet on the ground: “It’s been a pleasing start to the season and the team spirit is excellent,” he said. “We did well last weekend and we have to keep the form going. It will not be easy against Castilla. They have some very good young players and we will have to be very careful. But we fear nobody and I’m hopeful that we will get another result.” Meanwhile, former CDT favourite Dani Kome’s dream of a return to action has been dashed. He was released at the end of the season because of an ongoing knee problem which the Cameroon international endured surgery on during the summer. He has been training with Second Division Nastic, and it was announced on Monday that he had secured a short-term deal. But a medical has revealed arthritis in both knees and Nastic have pulled the plug. Kome, who famously scored the goal against Girona which promoted Tenerife to La Liga a few seasons ago, is seeking a second opinion. We wish him well.

Division One leaders Trap Door were always behind after a fast start by Gaffers. They led 3-1 going into the doubles, but Trap Door dug deep. They won both the rubbers only for James and Paul to reassert the home advantage. Mickey pulled one back for the visitors, but Neil has showed himself to be one of the league’s top players and he dispatched Marcus to seal a 6-4 win. This allowed the only unbeaten side and defending champions Palms A to return to the top. They were too strong for a Nauta A side who are going through a luckless patch and won 9-1. Hoops are right in the title shake-up following a 6-4 win over Tasca, while Phoenix Knights and Tenerife Hammers A are also on the bunny. Phoenix put Terrace A in their place with a comfortable 7-3 win in Amarilla Golf, while Hammers A are starting to find their form. They had too much for Bar 180 A, and they meet Phoenix in a mouth-watering clash this Tuesday. Legends A returned to winning ways at home to Summerland Allstars, while Superstars also won 7-3. Their win at Bar 180 C,was their first at that venue. Target Bar leapt a few places after a decent win at Atlantis Sharks, and Dreamers recorded their second win of the season, at Toscales Old Boys. There is a three-team breakaway at the top of Division Two and only frame difference separates them. Barracuda Bandits impressively dispatched Inn The Pink 7-3,

while Summerland Elite did the same against Nauta B. Phoenix Potters lost top spot after drawing at home to Tenerife Hammers C. It was not the best preparation for this week’s match at the Bandits. Yet they would have got all three points had captain Geoff held his nerve in the last match against fellow skipper Tony Macaroni! Fourth-place Exiles A lost ground as they could only draw at improving Connors, who are now unbeaten in four. Lupain lost again, this time at home to Atlantis Crew, while Tenerife Pool Tables continue to prop up the division. This week, they were done by Terrace B to make it played nine and lost nine. The only way is up for Fat Nick’s lads. Target Rangers just got the better of Wandabar A 6-4, and Market Tavereners snuck past Barracuda Hunters by the same scoreline. The Hunters had Roger back in their ranks, and it was nice to see the old git again!Gaffers B have a four-point lead in the Third Division following a 7-3 victory at The Office. They face third-place C&A Titans this week in a match that will set the tone for the season. The Titans warmed up with a creditable draw at Exiles B, but The Treehouse were pushed all the way by Lucky Leprechaun before they secured all three points. Dos Hermanos are going in the right direction, as their 6-4er over Dragon’s Denn proved. Neil was their hero, winning all three matches. Hat-tip of the week goes to Bull Ring Tavern. They were 4-0 and 5-2 down to Sunshine Bar before a storming fightback saw them claim a fine point.

Horoscopes of the week Libra

1. What is oenophobia the fear of? Beer, Wine or Water?

(September 24th-October 23rd) Keep your eyes peeled in business this week because it may just be possible for you to boost those funds on a permanent basis and not just a temporary level. Faces you meet now could well provide love at first sight, and ignore those other, niggling problems caused by idiots who should have disappeared from your life by now. ARIES (March 21st-April 20th) Your feelings for a certain face seem to be growing at a far quicker pace than his/hers are for you, and it would be to your advantage to take a back seat for a while. By listening and not talking, you’ll get to find out if there is a future to this union. And there’s exciting news at work in the pipeline. TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st) Be nice to all new faces you meet because that first impression could quite literally make or break you in business. There is a side to you developing of late which is bordering on the arrogant. Rein it in or you’ll lose the respect of an important face. GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st) You enter a most romantic period of your life, and close ones are sure to notice you’re far happier to help those around you than you were last month. You may have to backtrack on a financial agreement in the workplace. You’re right to, don’t fight your instincts. CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd) Don’t allow yourself to be forced into spending money, which you know you wanted to save. It would be far more to your advantage to take a stand and tell it how it is. If you don’t, then you could well find yourself out of pocket and out of

Page 48

favour. So do yourself a favour and regain control of your financial affairs. LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) You may have to sit down and do some serious thinking if you’re to avoid looking and feeling the fool, particularly as a new person is soon set to enter your life who could make all the difference to career and personal matters. VIRGO (August 24thSeptember 23rd) It is easy to see why you are feeling so vulnerable and open to criticism. However, if you can draw on your many strengths – and you do have many, by the way - then you will find that the coming week can offer you everything you want out of life, plus more. SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) You don’t have to say yes straight away, you know. Time is on your side for reasons which will become apparent by Tuesday. New and improved relationships with younger family members give you every reason to relax and just get on with your everyday life. SAGITTARIUS (November 23rdDecember 21st) You must have faith in the decisions which your close ones are making at this time.

Weekly Quiz 30-Second Brain Training

If you start to tell them what to do then you will be setting a standard by which you will have to live in return. Heart-to-heart chats on Monday help you find common ground. CAPRICORN (December 22nd January 20th) Aries help you find solutions to problems in love as their experience and wisdom helps you kick-start a most constructive spell in your life. Don’t be caught out in secrets midweek when your defences are most obviously down. Whatever happens, it is sure to be an unforgettable week. AQUARIUS (January 21st -February 19th) Your mood is most determined, and it is going to take a very resolute sign indeed to get the better of you in issues of both a personal and a professional nature. Plans should be laid at this time for a more secure home life, even though it will probably take a while to set in and give you that comfortable feeling. PISCES (February 20thMarch 20th) Someone is playing games with your heart and, even though you may know this, you don’t seem to mind. But what you are probably doing is blowing off some much-needed steam after last month’s most unpredictable and somewhat disappointing events. Be patient and all will become clear.
