El Hierro - a ‘tense calm’ Three eruptions, two evacuations, and the island’s inhabitants can only wait

The Salvamar Adhara rescue boat used by scientists to detect the sulphur samples

RESIDENTS in the south of El Hierro, now under the Canarian Government’s Red Alert warning, are bracing themselves for another volcanic eruption after experiencing three this week!

Monday’s underwater eruption, about 5km off the coast at La Restinga, was followed by a further two in the same area on Wednesday. At this southernmost village, 78 people - 31 tourists, including eight Britons - were initially evacuated to an emergency centre at Valverde, the island’s inland capital in the north-east. By Wednesday,

however, the entire 547 inhabitants had been forced to leave and the village, described as a “ghost town” by Spanish newspaper Diario de Avisos, was occupied by geologists and the police only - including 20 from Tenerife to bolster the numbers. The atmosphere on the island has been described as “a tense calm” by Diario de Avisos as the inhabitants, mainly in the south, wait and watch, which is all they can do. Monday’s 4am eruption was the first in the Canaries and, indeed, the whole of Spain, since the 1971 Teneguía eruption in La Palma. Many doubters scoffed at the threat of eruptions on the

smallest of the Canary Islands, even after nearly 10,000 miniearthquakes there since 19th July. But their opinions have certainly wavered now, especially after Saturday’s 4.3 tremor recorded on the Richter scale, which sparked the first eruption nearly one kilometre below the sea. The Canarian Government insists the people on El Hierro are in no danger - and there is absolutely no risk to Tenerife because volcanic activities over the past weeks have been focused on El Hierro only.

around Arona lights up News the Islands the promenade Not much fresh air here!

The municipality of Arona is investing 138,000 euros in replacement lights.

GREEN campaigners claim that the quality of air here is not as fresh as it should be. Recent figures suggest that the level of pollution in the South of Tenerife exceeds levels on more than 300 days a year.

The new lights are for the stretch of seafront in Playa de Las Americas- Avenida Francisco Andrade Fumero, between the Orinoco and Calle Luis Diaz de Losada, according to the Arona Mayor and the Councillor responsible for street lighting, Jose Alberto Gonzalez Reveron and Ramon Garcia, respectively. They visited the area this week where the work is to be carried out. They said, specifically, “we will proceed to change the fixtures, columns and wiring, and pipes needed for the new installation.” The ultimate objective is “the reduction of energy consumption, as well as the need to change the existing deteriorating lighting due to its proximity to the sea. With this change a significant reduction in power consumption, is achieved as we move from 517.600w consuming lights to 3,220, 46 lights will be replaced, so that we will achieve energy savings of 57.63%,” stressed the municipal representatives.

Swine flu booster jab THE Canarian Health service has announced the inclusion of swine flu vaccinations, considered to be 80% effective, in this winter’s flu jab campaign. Last year, 98% of people admitted to hospital with flu had not been vaccinated.

Tourism hits peak numbers SANTIAGO del Teide’s tourist information offices have topped their best figures, with over 3.000 inquiries in September. Local councils say the figures reflect the increase in tourism enjoyed by the area against those of recent years.

World of kindness to animals TENERIFE’S WORLD Animal Day, launched in the UK eight years ago, takes place today (Saturday) in the main square in Los Gigantes. The nearly-new sale and fete has bargains galore, plus games and prizes, with proceeds going to the Santiago del Teide Branch of the Asociaciòn San Francisco de los Animales.

Diego’s Santa Cruz fusion

College access for over 25’s The University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in collaboration with the Department of Education of the City of Adeje, chaired by Andrés Pérez, is opening from October 17th to November 4th the registration period for students aged 25 to 45 years interested in pursuing access to college, said the Adeje mayor. This is the sixth to be held in Adeje, the number of places is limited. This year there is a ceiling of 100 students, so they will have preference in order of registration to the courses, said the councillor of Education. Perez recalled that these courses, which only last a few months (in particular, a semester), allows access to university education to all persons without the qualifications necessary for entry into college. “In this sense, we must remember that 78% of the jobs on offer request a college degree.” The average obtained in the last five years exceeds a 75% pass rate among those who have entered the exams. The schedule set for this year is Tuesday through Thursday from 19.00 to 22.00 hours. The number of subjects for over 25 years is six:

Hippy-hippy Carnival THE 2012 Carnival will be dedicated to the Sixties’ flower power. Aside from being the era of the man on the moon and the Cuban revolution, as pointed out by Mayor José Manuel Bermudez, the hippy era has epitomised the transgression of the Carnival over the years.

Those unemployed or on low income can apply for a scholarship to the regional government (Ministry of Edu-

cation) for both enrollment and for the purchase of books and transportation. Classes will be held in the auditorium of the Centro Cultural de Adeje town. The facilities are designed to facilitate access for people with mobility problems.

SANTA CRUZ Council has pledged to improve signposts pointing out places of interest and car parks. Officials intend to make life easier for visitors and attract more numbers to the Tenerife capital.

Taxi-driver cheats exposed TAXI drivers in the South are again receiving bad publicity following tourists’ reports that they are still adding the illegal 1.65euro surcharge on many journeys. Hoteliers are pressing for action to avoid further negative publicity for the Island.

Big Ben – bending over

Each week in the British news there is at least one story that makes me chuckle – this week it is the story of the iconic landmark of Big Ben, apparently it’s getting a stoop in its old age.

Big Ben, one of London’s best-known landmarks, is leaning and raising concerns for its stability, according to surveyors. The top of the tower in Westminster has been tilting for some years and has now shifted 1ft 5ins (435mm) from vertical. A London Underground and Parliamentary Estates Department report from 2009, obtained by The Sunday Telegraph, reveals that the tower is leaning towards the north-west at an angle of 0.26 degrees. Big Ben, is named after the giant bell in the clock tower, and, it appears to be slowly sinking due to subsidence caused in part by decades of underground works, including the Jubilee Line tube station and an underground car park. The 315ft (96m) tower’s gentle northward lean can apparently now be noticed from street level and, if uncorrected, would eventually topple over according to experts. However, at current rates it would take 4,000 years before the tower is at a slant similar to the more fa-

Page 4

mous Leaning Tower of Pisa, which is leaning by four degrees. Professor John Burland, from Imperial College London, said: “If it started greater acceleration we would have to look at doing something, but I do not think we need to do anything for a few years yet.” Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London and is generally extended to refer to the clock or the clock tower as well. It is historic as it’s the largest four-faced chiming clock and the third-tallest free-standing clock tower in the world. Casting its face over London since the 10th April 1858 it has become one of the most prominent symbols of both London and England. Indeed, a survey of 2,000 people found that the tower was the most popular landmark in the United Kingdom. Plus, Big Ben was considered as the Most Iconic London Film Location. It is often portrayed in the media in the background, along with a red London bus and black cab. I’m sure images of Big Ben can be digitally enhanced to straighten it back to a vertical position. Until next week…

Cultural association “El Bucio “ organised a cochineal collection last weekend.

In the centre of Buzanada, an initiative collaborating with the areas of Participation and Economic Development of the municipality of Arona, and

other agencies such as Tenerife Tourism, Tenerife Rural Foundation and ILC South. People who participated in this event, were seeking to maintain the heritage of their community, performing the traditional process of collection and treatment of cochineal, dressed in

the costumes of the early twentieth century. This is the second consecutive year that “El Bucio” has launched this initiative, which aims to “pay homage to traditional forms of one of the main economic activities of early last century in the South of Tenerife”.

Helping Hands takes to the skies for a charity donation LOCAL charity Helping Hands In Tenerife have applied for a 100,000-euro donation from the annual Ryanair Cabin Crew Charity Partnership.

The airline’s charity sifts through hundreds of applicants each year to single out which ones to help. And Liz Montague, who co-founded Helping Hands in 2009 and is President, does so much for less-fortunate children throughout Tenerife. Her application for a hand-out from Ryanair’s 2012 charity chest is to help two of her own charity’s regular causes, including the Martha Dos Centre, which supports children with cerebral palsy. Liz, who has outlined the Centre’s need for cash aid, informs Ryanair: “The children rely on the centre so much. Their need for both immediate and on-going needs is unending, so we need to help financially. “The local authority financial support has become stretched and has diminished in recent months due to lack of funds.” She then lists all the Martha Dos requirements her own charity simply cannot afford: *More bedrooms and living rooms to accommodate additional, needy children. *A fire escape for safety reasons, as well as satisfying the authorities.

*Upkeep of the small swimming pool and its surrounding areas (available to Martha Dos), which is not in use because of the running costs. *Day-to-day costs for items such as additional wheelchairs, a new freezer, fridge, televisions, etc. In addition, she is asking for help for the Guadyl Children’s Centre, which caters for the orphaned kids in Granadilla. Those who run the Centre urgently need: *Completion of the children’s patio play area *Computers for the children *Arts and craft material for after-school activities

*Days out to various places for the children to enjoy *None of the children has had the opportunity to go on holiday, so it would be lovely to pay for them to enjoy a small break with carers *On-going expenses for clothes, food supplies etc Liz also tells Ryanair: “We have raised 20,000 euros so far for needy children in Tenerife and they rely on us now and in the future! “Thank you for reading this proposal and I hope Helping Hands are successful in securing part of or all the donation.”

Let’s stop harmful holiday weekends SPANISH workers are entitled to 14 fiestas a year, but employers’ organisation CEOE wants to switch those which fall in midweek to improve the economy.

Businessmen attached to the group believe big savings could be made if fiestas or bank holidays which do not occur at weekends

were swapped to a Monday or Friday. They maintain that an end to the famous custom of forming ‘Puente’ or ‘Acueducto’ (extra-long bank holiday weekends) would boost the economy no end. The business chiefs, concerned at the lack of production at these times, also want to see the same calendar in force across the vari-

ous regions of Spain. During the year, Spain has seven common holidays, two national ones, three regional fiestas and two more fixed by their local Town Halls. But the CEOE would allow Christmas Day, New Year’s Day and 12th October (the country’s National Day) to remain as they are, whatever the day.

The sun shines on Adeje

The traditional Canarian festival was held on Wednesday in the streets of Adeje village.

The festivities are held in honour of the Virgin of the Incarnation, St. Ursula and San Sebastian. The traditional procession brings together residents and visitors alike to enjoy the rich and varied folklore and cuisine of the Islands and of the village. As usual, this traditional Canarian festival, organized by the Municipality of Adeje in conjunction with the Municipal School of Folklore Adeje, was staged in the main street bringing together thousands of pilgrims dressed in traditional costumes inckuding; shepherds with their goats and sheep, traditional cattle-drawn carts and vehicles deco-

rated with rural motifs for this very special occasion. The mayor said “we’re having a great pilgrimage, very happy and very participatory, it should be noted that this year we had the presence of groups from all the islands, allowing the good atmosphere and good mood that we Adeje residents have today on our big day be even better. “ Fraga Rodriguez took the opportunity to explain that the pilgrimage has a long tradition in time, which “has been enriched by working with the Municipal School of Folklore, which has recovered all the elements that have to do with the traditions and the proof is that we improve the quality of the pilgrimage festival each year, it becomes much more important.”

Experts on Tenerife TENERIFE Tourism launched the second edition of “Experts on Tenerife” this month, an initiative that helps the University of La Laguna and UniversityBusiness Foundation that aims to educate the local population on the wealth of tourist resources on the island.

This training will enable participants to acquire the knowledge necessary for them to interact with tourists. The project will run through the online training platform www.sientoxciento.com / expertosentenerife. Participation is free and open to people of all ages resident in Tenerife, participants only have to register on the website before October 21st. For six weeks, students will acquire knowledge in an enjoyable and entertaining atmosphere, relating to natural resources, cultural heritage and tourism on the island learning more about our history and geography, on which the main tourist markets of Tenerife are pitched around the island and abroad. The course content was

developed by professors at the University of La Laguna, specialists in these areas. There will be two levels of training, intermediate and advanced, and prior to this, participants will receive an introductory course on the use of the platform. At all times, students will have the guidance of a tutor, and upon completion of training, will pass a weekly test on the knowledge acquired, and will be given a diploma that certifies them as true “Experts on Tenerife” . For college students, this course can be validated by elective credits. As a reward, in addition, participants who pass the training will have the opportunity to make a visit to the most emblematic places of the island accompanied by an official tourist guide, and receive promotional material as gifts (flags, brochures ...). In the first edition of this initiative, which is included within the campaign “Tenerife al SientoxCiento “, 566 people were credited as “Experts on Tenerife” and endorsed the success of this project which aims to make local people and agents active tourism promoters.

Village is reduced to a ‘ghost town’

Local News

LA RESTINGA, the tiny village which has become the centrepiece of all volcanic eruption talk on El Hierro, has become a “ghost town”.

Only geologists studying the goings-on there, and the Guardia Civil, in place to stop inhabitants from going back to their homes, are permitted access. The road from El Pinar to this coastal area is still closed following the evacuation of its 547 residents and tourists earlier this week. But those who needed to collect essential medications, documents and other belongings were allowed to return for a few minutes during Tuesday’s main evacuation. Orders to clear the area of inhabitants came from the National Geographic Institute (IGN), following the magma movements near the coast, which threatened a possible eruption near the village. La Restinga, a popular spot on this somewhat remote island,

Continued from page 1 There were warning signs of an eruption on Sunday when El Hierro experienced 14 tremors, two of which were felt by people at 3.35pm and about two hours later. The first measured 3.6 on the Richter scale and the second was 3.1. The rest were all much less and of no real consequence. La Restinga is known around the world as a popular diving site, but a four-mile Exclusion Zone has now been put in place around the area of the underwater eruption. Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and his cabinet held an emergency briefing on Tuesday evening. The outcome was that all fishing, diving, sporting or recreational hobbies were banned from the La Restinga area, plus all maritime activity. Meanwhile, scientists from IGN and CSIC (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas), had already taken part in a reconnaissance flight over that area and saw dead fish floating on the surface. Their verdict was that they had probably been killed by gas escaping from the volcano.

is well known among divers the world over for its undersea beauty, and they frequent the area throughout the year. In fact, El Hierro is a main diving centre for enthusiasts, and the sport, together with tourism, contributes much to the island’s economy. It the most southerly point of El Hierro and the evacuation could well have sparked panic. But everyone involved has behaved with great calm and dignity, treating the entire episode as an adventure. Such is their peaceful demeanour that they have drawn praise and congratula-

tions from El Hierro Government officials and the Red Cross. Those people unable to find alternative shelter - 78 in all - have been housed in a students’ residency in the island’s capital of Valverde. Of the group, 31 are tourists (nine British, six German, two French and the remainder Spanish) and El Hierro’s tourism officials are searching for more appropriate accommodation. The Civil Guards are in charge of controlling access, and those who want to return, for whatever reason, must show identification that they live in La Restinga.

Then came Wednesday’s further eruptions off La Restinga, and crew members of the Salvamar Adhara maritime rescue boat, being used by scientists to collect samples, sighted genuine evidence of volcanic activity. They saw two stains on the surface, emitting a strong smell of sulphur, and dead fish, both of which are clear signs of a magma eruption. One of the eruptions was two nautical miles out and 750m below the surface and the other was only 1.5 nautical miles out and 500m down. Juan Manuel Santana, head of the island’s Safety and Emergency Services, revealed that National Geographic Institute scientists searching La Restinga’s coastline had discovered the magma stains. He also described the eruptions as “the best possible scenario”, and added: “If there is to be an eruption, the sooner, the better because underwater eruptions are good news.” So, will El Hierro experience an inland eruption any time soon? Who knows? Certainly not the scientists engaged in studying the recent happenings there. Some say “Yes”, while others disagree. David Calvo, head of the Technological Institute for Renewable Energies (ITER), said on

Radio Nacional, Spain’s national radio station, yesterday: “It is quiet now because the current movements may mean that the system is releasing pressure. “But we should not lower our guard because the process may take longer and it raises the possibility of further eruptions in the next 24 hours or 48 hours. Throughout the Canaries there are common fissure eruptions, which can open fractures of several miles.” Emilio Carreño, the National Seismic Network director, believes El Hierro could even be witnessing the birth of a volcano. “We have no template for how magma behaves and, as the island’s population is under control, this is an extraordinary opportunity for science,” he said. And Jesus Perez, El Hierro’s councillor for Security and Emergency, told Diario de Avisos, after visiting La Restinga: “This place feels like a constant tremor, which is noticeable if you compare it with how water rocks in a bottle.”

£400m factory offers

work for thousands

The largest factory to be built in the UK for five years, has opened its doors. The £400m facility, at Broughton in North Wales, will produce wings for the new Airbus A350. It will employ 650 people and a further 5,000 positions will be supported in the supply chain. The 700-acre Broughton site, which is home to a total workforce of 6,000, already builds wings for the rest of the Airbus fleet. The A350 - due to enter service in 2013 - can carry up to 340 passengers. It has 31-metre long wings which are predominantly made from carbon fibre as opposed to aluminium.

As a result the company says, the design and weightsaving will make for significant fuel bill savings of around 25%. There have been over 500 orders for the mid-sized aircraft to date, which should ensure job security for up to 6 years. The company believes that as growing fuel costs remain a core concern for the airline industry, its development of carbon fibre is a key element of its future. In June, the company showed off a concept of what the planes of the future may look like. The ‘transparent cabin’ would allow passengers to view the sky around them.

Meercats are just not so ‘simples’ as they appear

They are known for their Russian accents on television adverts but now scientists have discovered that meerkats can recognise each other’s voices.

Experts at the University of Zurich say the cute mammals may be the only non-primate species to have this ability. Meerkats, which mainly live in desert areas in Africa, are able to identify individuals by sound alone, similar to humans. Researchers recorded noises made by the animals and played them

back to a group that lived in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa. When the call of two separate individuals was played back from different areas, the meerkats did not pay much attention. But when the same meerkat’s call was played from two separate areas simultaneously, the mammals became agitated as in reality this would be impossible - proving they are able to recognise a voice. Meerkats live in clans and are known for their noisy behaviour but these results, published in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters, may show that vocal recognition is

more common in social groups of animals than previously thought. Dr Simon Townsend, from the University of Zurich, said: “This is the first experimental demonstration of vocal individual recognition, under natural settings, in a species other than primates. “Our results suggest when confronted with an impossible socio-physical scenario - the presence of the same individual on two different sides - meerkats are more vigilant and more likely to look in the direction of the violation than when the presence of two different individuals is simulated.”

In the three months to August, the total rose by 114,000 to 2.57 million. It gives the UK a jobless rate of 8.1%, the highest since 1996. Youth unemployment rose by 74,000, meaning the number of 16-24 year olds without work crept closer to the one million mark - at 991,000 - and remains at a record high with a jobless rate of 21.3%. At Prime Minister’s Questions in the Commons, David Cameron described the figures as very disappointing, saying each job lost was a “tragedy” for the person affected. Other figures showed a 178,000 slump in employment in the quarter the biggest in more than two years. In the end, economics mainly comes down to unemployment. The Office for National Statistics also highlighted the number of people classed as economically inactive

increasing by 26,000 to 9.35 million. It said that taking the inactivity rate and the new jobless figures together, half of 16 to 24-year-olds are now not employed. However, while the number of people claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance rose for the seventh straight month - by 17,500 in September to 1.6 million - the increase was less than expected. Average earnings increased by 2.8% in the year to August, down by 0.1% percentage points over the previous month, giving an average wage of £463 a week. Employment Minister Chris Grayling said: “It is clear that we are seeing the effect of the international economic crisis on the UK labour market.” He told Sky News: “We’ve seen big drops in growth in France and Germany...it underlines the scale of the challenge we now face.” TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said the “terrible” figures were partly of the Government’s making. He said: “The government’s austerity measures have turned unemployment into a full-blown crisis – with job losses

not seen since the darkest days of the recession. “Worryingly, this is not simply the result of Eurozone troubles. “This unemployment crisis is state sponsored, and areas like the North East are paying a heavy price with more than one in ten people out of work. “The Chancellor’s Plan A has sent unemployment to a 17-year high. “This country urgently needs a plan B to get people back into work.”

Sir Brucie gets his Knighthood Sir Bruce Forsyth has received his knighthood for services to entertainment in a career spanning 70 years.

The Strictly Come Dancing host’s place as a leading TV presenter has been recognised after years of campaigning by fans. The award also marks his charity work, something the star does privately. After the investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace Sir Bruce told Sky News he thought the reason the honour had been such a long time coming was due to the way light entertainment is seen. “People like The Two Ronnies never got it, Morecambe and Wise never got it, Frankie Howerd, Tommy Cooper, Jimmy Tarbuck, Eric Sykes all these people I think they’re worthy,” he said in an interview with Sky. “Comedy is a hard job, you know, it’s not like a building labourer, but we do have mental things we have to put up with and trying to get a laugh is sometimes much harder than doing a straight line.” He was joined by his Puerto Ricoborn wife Wilnelia, a former Miss

UK’s top civil servant to step down by 2012 Downing Street has said Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O’Donnell is to retire at the end of this year.

World, and their 24-year-old son Jonathan Joseph, known as JJ, and his daughters from previous marriages Charlotte, 34, and Laura, 48. Sir Bruce said he was asked by the Queen how long he had been working in the industry during the ceremony and was taken aback by his answer. “She asked how long and I said ‘well, you know, coming up next year I’ll have been in show business 70 years’, which did shock her,” Sir Bruce recalled. “Then she said ‘well when did you start?’ and I said ‘when I was 14’, that shocked her again.”

Admitting he feared he might never receive the honour, a delighted Sir Bruce said he could not wait to call his wife “my lady” when the knighthood was announced in the summer. Bruce got his big break in 1958 when he became host of Sunday Night At The London Palladium. He went on to host The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right and Bruce’s Price Is Right. In 2004, when in effective semiretirement, he was brought back to host a new version of an old programme, Strictly Come Dancing, and scored another massive hit.

He will be replaced as the country’s most senior civil servant by Jeremy Heywood, the Permanent Secretary at Number 10. Sir Gus’s retirement will see a reorganisation at the top of the Whitehall bureaucracy, with his role as head of the Home Civil Service being hived off. The position will go to an existing Permanent Secretary at a Government department who will hold the two posts together. Mr Heywood will combine the role of Cabinet Secretary with his current job at No 10 to be the most senior policy adviser to the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister. David Cameron, who announced the move to ministers at Tuesday morning’s meeting of the Cabinet, paid tribute to Sir Gus as “the outstanding civil servant of his generation”. “His support during the formation of the

coalition Government, and in ensuring the smooth and effective running of Cabinet government since I took office, has been invaluable,” he said. “He has given dedicated and professional service under five Prime Ministers, the last four of whom he has worked with very closely. “I know that they will join me in thanking him for all his hard work, patience, loyalty, good humour and sound judgment.” Labour leader Ed Miliband said: “Gus O’Donnell has had a distinguished career serving our country, including at the Treasury and the Cabinet Office. “I had a chance to work with him in both of those places, and he was an outstanding public servant, unfailingly helpful, thoughtful and supportive in implementing the agenda of the Government. “He is not simply an outstanding public servant but a person of the utmost generosity and kindness. “He will be missed in government and I wish him well in the future.”

Users in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India, Brazil, Chile and Argentina have continued to report problems with their devices. The problems have now spread to North America and South America with the company confirming service outages happening in the US.Canadian BlackBerry manufacturer Research In Motion (RIM) had given the all-clear on Tuesday morning after the first

problems but they struck again later. Regular voice-calling services appear not to have been affected and the problem seems to be limited to personal rather than business contracts. In a statement released on Tuesday RIM said: “The messaging and browsing delays being experienced by BlackBerry users... were caused by a core switch failure within RIM’s infrastructure. “Although the system is designed to failover to a back-up switch, the failover did not function as previously tested. Some high-profile users’ tweets will have BlackBerry bosses squirming. Alastair Campbell tweet-

ed: “Day 3 of BlackBerry black-out. Some free advice. Explain while you fix. Apologise when you have. Recompense after. Handling so far woeful.” Lord Alan Sugar said: “In all my years in IT biz, I have never seen such a outage as experienced by BlackBerry. I can’t understand why it’s taking so long to fix.” The server problems started at 11am on Monday, at a data centre in Slough, it is understood. Mobile operators in the UK, including T-Mobile and Orange, posted messages on their websites referring customers experiencing difficulties to the manufacturer.

NY helicopter crash: second woman dies A second woman has died following a helicopter crash in New York earlier this month which killed her British partner. Helen Tamaki, from New Zealand, died on Tuesday night at the Bellevue Hospital Centre, a hospital spokesman said. Sonia

Marra, a British citizen who lived in Sydney, Australia, also died in the crash. The couple were part of a family group celebrating Ms Marra’s 40th birthday. Her mother, Harriet Nicholson, stepfather Paul, and the pilot - Paul Dudley, a family friend were all on the flight on October

2 which plunged into the East River shortly after the helicopter took off. While the pilot and Mr Nicholson were unharmed, Ms Marra’s mother was seriously injured and is still in hospital. The cause of the crash is still being investigated. The helicopter had completed

its annual inspection just days before the crash, investigators revealed. Pilots in the past have been warned to look out for mechanical problems immediately after maintenance - which can take weeks - as records show some small aircraft have crashed on the first flight after such inspections.

Special Forces release crew of hijacked ship

The crew of an Italian cargo ship hijacked by Somali pirates has been freed by British and US special forces, Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defence ministry has said.

Eleven pirates were captured after the rescue operation, the Italian foreign ministry added. It said the rescue operation was carried out by forces from two naval vessels, one from the US and one from Britain. Pirates attacked the Montecristo vessel carrying 23 crew members - seven Italians, six Ukrainians and 10 Indians - on Monday. The foreign ministry said the crew of the 55,675-tonne carrier had taken refuge inside an armoured shelter on board

the ship when it was hijacked. Crew members had continued to control its movements, bringing it closer to an area where anti-piracy forces were patrolling. The shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owners said the crew had trained in anti-piracy drills and the move into an armoured shelter is apparently part of new measures to combat attacks. Somali pirates, operating on small inflatables, normally use rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles, with no heavier armaments that would penetrate armour plating. The foreign ministry said the US and Britain had operated under the orders of Italian Admiral Gualtiero Mattesi, commander of the Nato Ocean Shield an-

ti-piracy task force. Earlier, defence minister Ignazio La Russa said Italy would shortly deploy a special naval force on merchant vessels to protect them from Somali gunmen in an escalation of international efforts to combat the scourge of piracy. Many ships already carry private security contractors to counter piracy, but deployment of military forces is a significant boost in measures that had previously been hampered by disputes over the legality of using lethal force. Pirates flourish off largely lawless Somalia by attacking passing ships, taking hostages and demanding ransoms to free them and the vessels.

Digital inheritance MORE and more people are apparently leaving passwords in their wills so that they can pass on treasured - and valuable possessions held online to loved ones.

Research estimates the value of possessions held among Britons in the ‘cloud’ has soared to more than £2bn. More than a quarter of people in the UK have hundreds of pounds worth of films, videos and music stored online, research for cloud computing company Rackspace has found. And a third of those think what they have is valuable enough to be ‘willed’ on to a loved one. More than one in 10 - 11% - have already put important internet passwords in their will

or plan to do so, allowing access to information stored in ‘cloud’ services, such as Hotmail, Facebook, iCloud and Flickr which would otherwise be lost, the survey from Goldsmiths at the University of London found. Sentimental possessions are also being taken into account, with digital photography and home videos and recordings potentially being ‘lost in the ether’ if no one knows how to access them. Where to store passwords to ensure they do not fall into the wrong hands has also been thought - and lawyers are already considering how to tackle the problem. “The client makes the will and leaves it with the solicitor,” a Rackspace spokeswoman said. “Then the passwords are kept

separately. So, once the details of the will are sorted out, the beneficiaries will be given the password(s) they need.” Lawyers have described the passing on of valuable passwords as a major change to the traditional way wills have been drawn up. Solicitor Matthew Strain said: “With more photos, books, music and so on being stored online and in digital format, the question of what happens to these when people are gone becomes more important every day. “We have started to advise clients on the topic of digital inheritance as it is something people should be thinking, and doing something about as part of the provisions in their will. “Making provisions for digital inheritance in a will or codicil is relatively straightforward.”

Eight killed in US hair salon shooting

Eight people have been killed and one is critically injured after a gunman opened fire in a packed hairdresser’s in California.

The shooter reportedly had several weapons and was wearing body armour, although this has not been confirmed. Police said a man was arrested without incident a short time after the attack in the small town of Seal Beach, 30 miles south of Los Angeles. Six were initially reported dead but the number later rose to eight. Officers are not looking for anyone else in connection with the shooting on Wednesday afternoon.

Page 14

The motive is still unclear, although there have been reports of a custody battle involving one of the victims. The salon had been full of people at the time of the shooting, which took place at lunchtime - and a police spokesman has said every hairdressing station was occupied. He said: “We’re unsure at this point if (the gunman) shot from the entrance and people as they were shot ran in seeking cover or seeking shelter, but we have fatalities throughout the salon.” Police responded to a 911 call reporting gunfire at the salon. “Upon arrival we found

six confirmed deceased people, along with three critically injured parties, which were transported to a local hospital,” the police spokesman said “The officers identified the (suspect’s) vehicle as it was leaving the location. “They followed it and made a traffic stop and took the driver into custody.” Police have said they are working on the assumption that the gunman had a connection to the salon. But the spokesman added: “At this point in time we do not know what he said, or if he said anything at all during the shooting or what his relationship with this salon was.”

Rescued Chilean miners counting cost a year on

A year after the world celebrated the rescue of 33 Chilean miners trapped for two months, many are still out of work and several have money and mental health issues. Others have found solace in drink and drugs, as the initial euphoria of fame evaporated and the nightmares of spending 69 days nearly half a mile underground come to haunt them. The 33 are still waiting for compensation from the Chilean state and are pinning their financial futures on a film about their ordeal. But the script for that is reportedly not even written. Almost a half are still unemployed. Only four went back to mining. Another returned but was overcome by panic when temporarily left alone. Some work as mechanics, some sell fruit and vegetables. They say that only a handful of them have steady jobs. After his release, Jimmy Sanchez cruised the Greek islands, visited Britain, Israel and the US. Now he is unemployed and twice a month makes a lengthy journey to the Chilean capital Santiago for psychiatric treatment. He is one of nine miners receiving sick-leave

pay for prolonged post-traumatic stress. “Most of us are in the same place with emotional and psychological problems,” said 20-year-old Mr Sanchez. “It was the fear that we would never again see our families, that we were going to die. We just can’t shake those memories,” he told the New York Times. Another miner, Claudio Acuna Cortes, 35, is receiving treatment to help cope with sleep problems. “I became very irritable. I find it difficult to concentrate,” he said. At the time of the rescue, Phillip Hodson, a fellow of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, told Sky News Online that the miners faced a “long and difficult journey ahead” - and warned that their new celebrity status could be “poisonous”. Jonathan Franklin, a Chile-based reporter, wrote 33 Men, a book which tells the story of the miners’ first 17 days underground. He said: “What they went through was so hellish and so close to the textbook definition of torture it’s not at all surprising that they’re going to have to be dealing with this for the rest of their lives. “They don’t feel that comfortable with the world.”

Steve `Taff Martin´ Onstage

Email: taff@canarianweekly.com WELCOME to Onstage, a new feature in your Canarian Weekly, looking at the entertainment scene locally and around the world. For readers who can recall as far back as 1998, around the time that Canarian Weekly first saw the light of day, you may remember the first airing of Onstage. I actually wrote the column for three years from the onset, and critics said that neither of us would last! But here we are, all grown-up, over a decade later - and, I believe, looking younger as I’ve substituted butter for Olay. The aim of the column now is exactly as it was then: to take a light-hearted look at everything, and everybody.

Page 16

Back in the ‘day’, the only way I could get any gossip or information (the net then was not as it is now) was to drag myself screaming down to the Princess Di bar at The Patch after work. It was a place where most of the entertainers would congregate after their gigs, and where you would meet up with local legends, some sadly no longer with us but fondly remembered. We’d sit and chat outside, and try to avoid being seen by the compere ‘Les Style’, who would badger you to give a song, which normally turned into a first half! Someone told me they spoke with Les recently, and learned that he’s doing a lot of TV work now - Coach Trip, Sixty Minute Makeover, etc. A lot has changed since I first

worked on the Island in 1990. We have gone from numerous cabaret venues and acts, when everyone had two gigs a night and some three, (some still say they have, only one is paid and karaoke after work doesn’t count) to seeing a lot of the named, established bars disappear. And people have also moves on to pastures new. I actually went back home for a while, and the only job I could get was as a security guard at a tyre factory for 12 months. Yes, it was a Good-Year! There have been changes especially more recently, since the worldwide recession has bit deeper and purse strings are tighter, and the term “How Much?” isn’t just limited to Yorkshiremen! Only joking. One asked me recently: “What does the machine

in the gents take - the one with a picture of a country singer on it?” I said: “Johnny Cash!” But good things have come out of it as well, with the standard of entertainment here as good as it is anywhere. It’s harder, yes, so you have to be better to get the work, and generally, people are a lot more professional in their business. Acts are even into merchandising, too, with DVDs, CDs, VDs etc. And one is even selling cakes. The whole business has gone up a notch, which is why I think you don’t get so many new acts turning up like we used to, willing to undercut others. Anyway, this time around we have Facebook! You don’t really have to go anywhere - just turn on the PC and you can read all the news, bitching, moaning and back-stabbing. And that’s

just my page! I imagine lots of people on my Friends list will be “Unsubscribing” now, which is not a bad thing. I’ve got one in Vietnam. I’ve never been there and I don’t know what “I give you bucu boom boom” means. A tip to all Fbook users: you can actually say what you like, but just remember to put “lol” at the end of the comment, and people will think you’re joking, even if you mean it. Have you noticed that “lol” looks like a stick man drowning? I took a night off recently and headed to Parque de la Paz, where every bar was packed and the only place we could get seats were at the Chinese. I’ve never seen so many street-sellers, and I woke up this morning with three pairs of sunglasses and a yo-yo! More on who I saw next time.

Xesko in fine voice for Lions SAN MIGUEL Lions Club are laying on a special treat for members and guests at their Oasis Restaurant bash in Costa del Silencio on Saturday, 29th October.

They have secured the services of Xesko, a Spanish solo artist who is relatively new to the Island and brings something fresh to the table, so to speak, with his wide variety of entertainment. Social Secretary Ralph Solomon says: “We’ve had him a couple of times and he is extremely popular. He’s a fine singer and a superb dancer, so don’t miss out.” Tickets are only 15 euros, which includes an excellent hot and cold buffet, but Ralph is running out of them fast, such is the demand.

Accion del Sol news

Ins and outs of a busy refuge IT has been another busy week at Accion del Sol, with 12 dogs brought into the refuge via Protection Civil, and 10 dogs being rehomed.

Five dogs were rehomed following our Pets Portrait Competition and two lovely tourists also took their pick. Beate Hruschka and Christian Schlink, from Frankfurt, kindly accompanied three large dogs from Tenerife to their home city to start new lives there. Marion is always looking for people to accompany dogs to Germany, so if you are travelling there from the Island and would like to help one of the many dogs in the refuge, then please call the number below.

Live Arico news Adios to Rick Warren We say goodbye this week to Rick Warren, a true friend of ours. Many old-timers will remember him as Rick the Ticket. He was the man for booking flights some 15 years ago, when hardly anyone had the internet. Rick and his partner, Suzanna, were instrumental in setting up our first shop in Costa del Silencio, and he continued to give a donation from flight sales, as well as picking up shop donations tirelessly. Even when diagnosed with cancer some two years ago, he carried on working for us until the dreaded illness got the better of him. He lost his brave fight this week, but we at Live Arico did get the chance to say goodbye and thank you a couple of weeks ago. Rick leaves 5,000 euros to Live Arico, which will go to reducing our debt with Hospivet Sur and La Granja, our food suppliers. We also hope to buy a pressure-washer to make the cleaning tasks easier, and also some new collection boxes.

This young lady is still looking for a lovely home. Her hair looks quite funny and she will probably grow up to be a smallto-middle-sized dog.

She is not as pretty as the other puppies, so people tend to walk past her. So who has a big heart, time and space for such a little animal? Please call Marion on 922 778 630 or visit the refuge between Monday and Friday, from 3-6 pm if you are interested in adopting her. Please visit Accion del Sol anyway and see the fine work the staff do there. The best care and medical treatment is provided for every dog brought into the refuge. The kennels are spotless, and no flea or fly dare enter the premises! The dogs are kept in small groups, between two and up to six, except for those classed as “dangerous”, which have a kennel each to avoid any arguments. All the dogs at the refuge arrive terrified and mostly untouchable, but within a short time they soon learn to trust humans again. Accion del Sol have some nice, caring families who come and walk the dogs in the afternoons. If you would to volunteer as a dog-walker and have a bit of spare time, then pop into the refuge for a chat . The dogs love to go out, and it’s a good way for them to get a little bit of extra exercise.

Rick would have liked that. Sleep well old friend, in the knowledge you have made a difference. ACT Communications Solve all your internet and landline needs with one supplier. Fernando, the BT agent in the South, gives 100% personal service AND a donation to Live Arico for every new customer.

HUNT FOR TONY BLAIR

- Channel 4, Friday 14th October 9:00pm The Comic Strip team return for a one off special - a 50s-style ‘fugitive' film noir spoof. The 60 minute film, penned by Peter Richardson and Pete Richens, follows Prime Minister Tony Blair (Stephen Mangan), wanted for murder and on

14 October - 20 October 2011

the run. Escaping from Number 10 and leaving behind his adoring wife Cherie (Catherine Shepherd), Tony vows to clear his name no matter what the consequences. But on a foggy London night, Tony has few friends willing to harbour a

wanted man and with front pages demanding his capture, Blair has no choice but to go on the run, with Inspector Hutton (Robbie Coltrane) and his sidekick (James Buckley) hot on his trail. The chase unfolds thanks to evidence gleaned from his ‘al-

lies' Mandelson (Nigel Planer) and Brown (Ford Kiernan), as well as an unlikely encounter with Margaret Thatcher (Jennifer Saunders, channelling Bette Davies in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?). Surely Tony's an innocent man, pursued for

a crime he didn't commit? The cast also includes Harry Enfield as Alastair Campbell, Rik Mayall as Professor Predictor, Morgana Robinson as Carole Caplin, John Sessions as Thatcher's butler and Ross Noble as an ‘old Labour' Tramp.

WILD BRITAIN: With Ray Mears 8:00 - 8:30pm - ITV1 Wild Britain with Ray Mears is back on ITV as Ray continues to explore the British Isles. This series features intimate footage of some of Britain’s most fascinating, charismatic and rare creatures in their natural, wild habitats, with expert guidance from Ray. In the first episode of the new series, Ray explores the stunning Caledonian Pine

Forest in the Scottish Highlands. “Whenever I come here, I don’t feel as though I’m surrounded by lots of individual species. I feel as though I’m part of one great organism – the Caledonian Forest itself. It’s just so magnificent,” explains Ray. These ancient forests once spread across thousands of kilometres of the Highlands,

yet now only a few remnants remain. Today they’re home to rare species such as the capercaillie (a turkeysized grouse), the osprey (fish eating birds of prey) and the red squirrel. Ray goes in search of the red squirrel, which he describes as one of Britain’s most ‘adorable’ mammals. But sadly their future lies in the balance.

SPY

- 8:30 - 9:00 pm - Sky 1 Created and written by Simeon Goulden (Secret Diary of a Call Girl), Spy puts a new twist on the family comedy, and adds to Sky's already impressive line-up for Friday nights. Thirty-something Tim (Darren Boyd, Green Wing) has reached a crossroads. Not only is he stuck in a deadend job at Computer Galaxy, but he’s locked in a custody battle with nice-as-nettles ex-wife Judith (Dolly Wells, Campus) over son Marcus

Page 22

(newcomer Jude Wright), an utterly precocious nineyear-old who is as happy spending time with his dad as a PETA member would be modeling fur coats. Tim’s world is shaken, and most definitely stirred, however, when he’s accidentally recruited as a trainee spy for MI5, going from zero to hero. Well, sort of... A script fizzing with zest has ensnared a wealth of British talent. Together with Boyd and newcomer Wright, Robert Lindsay (My Family) is MI5

boss The Examiner, armed with a distinctly unorthodox management style as well as a fair few throwing stars. They’re joined by Rebekah Staton (Pulling) as love interest, Caitlin, and Matthew Baynton (Horrible Histories, The Armstrong and Miller Show) as Tim’s best bud Chris. Not to mention Rosie Cavaliero’s (Jam and Jerusalem) completely crackers social worker Paula, who embarks on an epic, albeit onesided and wholly fictitious, love affair with Tim.

WORLD WAR II: THE LAST HEROES 8:45 - 9.45 PM - Channel 4 As the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War approaches, year by year the number of surviving soldiers is sadly diminishing. This six-part series is the story of their war, not the war as written by generals and historians. Produced by the team behind the highly-acclaimed Blitz Street, the series starts with the D-Day Landings and ends with street fights in Berlin, bringing to

life the story of the campaign to take Europe back from the Nazis. It recreates actual battlefield scenarios using real bombs and real ammunition to illustrate the extraordinary first hand testimonies from Allied soldiers. These testimonies of the realities of life on the frontline make their greatgrandchildren's computer war games seem very tame. Allied combat troops suffered terribly high casualty

THE SECRET MILLIONAIRE 9:00 - 10:00 pm - Channel 4 The Secret Millionaire returns for a brand new series. Forty-year-old celebrity hairdresser Adee Phelan shot to fame after giving David Beckham his iconic World Cup Mohican. A decade on, Adee has his own international product range, an exclusive salon in Covent Garden complete with A-list clientele, and another multi-million-pound project underway. However, Adee has not always lived this millionaire

lifestyle. Being raised by a disciplinarian father, Adee left home and school early. Unable to read or write, Adee spent the next 10 years of his life in Essex bedsit-land battling with drink, drugs, gambling and severe depression. It was not until he was taken under the wing of another well-known hairdresser at the age of 27 that Adee turned his life around. Now Adee is returning to the Essex coast, just a few

miles from where it all began, this time as James McCarthy, an everyday hairdresser taking part in a new television series about 'popup' shops. Adee's temporary salon is in the heart of one of the most deprived areas in the UK, Brooklands in Jaywick, only an hour and a half out of London. Brooklands was built in the 1920s as affordable holiday homes for Londoners wanting a slice of paradise by the coast.

BEENY'S RESTORATION NIGHTMARE 8:00 - 9:00pm - Channel 4 Last year Sarah Beeny and her husband Graham began the huge task of restoring their enormous country pile... and it was a nightmare. In this new series they face a whole new nightmare as they struggle to restore more of their 97-room Yorkshire home, Rise Hall. This Georgian gem is costly to restore, so Sarah and Graham need to find ways of making it pay as a venue for the occasional wedding and event. But their first wedding event was to be their

last as the couple now find themselves embroiled in a planning dispute with their local council over building works and the use of Rise Hall. Undeterred, Graham and Sarah are determined to tackle the next stage of the restoration - the once impressive state rooms. Each week they tackle a room head on, offering up inspiration on how to create a more attractive and interesting place to live. In the first episode Graham and Sarah tackle the old Regency dining room.

ROAD TO PERDITION 9:00 - 11:20pm - SKY ATLANTIC The acclaimed graphic novel from crime writer Max Allan Collins stars Tom Hanks as Michael Sullivan, a morally conflicted Depression-era hit man committing murder in the name of his employer. John Rooney (Paul Newman), a kindly, aging Irish crime boss who raised Sullivan as his surrogate son, Rooney is affiliated with Al Capone in Chicago and thus wields great power in the "Tri-Cities" of Moline; Rock Island; and Davenport.

Page 34

Curious about his father's mysterious profession, Sullivan's son, Michael Jr. (Tyler Hoechlin), stows away in his father's automobile one night and witnesses the execution of a man at the hands of Sullivan and Rooney's biological son, Connor (Daniel Craig). Although Michael keeps his promise to remain silent about what he's seen, the paranoid and unstable Connor tries to wipe out the entire Sullivan clan anyway, succeeding only in killing Sul-

livan's wife, Annie (Jennifer Jason Leigh), and youngest son, Peter (Liam Aiken). Enraged at this and another surprise betrayal by the Rooneys, Sullivan embarks on a path of bloody retribution, Michael in tow. Although he intends to leave his boy with relatives in the rural town of Perdition once the coast is clear, he ends up exposing Michael to the goriest aspects of his talents, slaughtering former associates as he dodges contract assassin Maguire (Jude Law).

MIXED RACE SEASON: Mixed Britannia 9:00 - 10:00 pm - BBC2 Covering the years 19652011, the final film of this three-part series witnesses how a new wave of mass immigration from the Indian sub-continent was settling in Britain in the Seventies, the National Front was on the march and mixed-race families faced violence on the streets.

George Alagiah explores the debates surrounding mixedrace adoption, and the Duke and Duchess of Richmond tell him about the hostile reaction from the community and the media when they adopted two mixed-race children. Britain was steadily becoming one of the most ethni-

cally diverse countries in the world and the mixedrace population was steadily growing, but while some communities were happy to "marry out", others weren't. George hears about a 21stcentury love story as two young people in love struggle to overcome cultural prejudice.

Sony recalls 1.6m TVs over melting danger

Email: sue.mcdonald@canarianweekly.com

A fresh pair of eyes?

Sony is recalling 1.6 million television sets after faulty parts caused a number to emit smoke and start melting. I VISITED a penthouse apartment this week with fabulous views over the harbour at Los Cristianos.

The people had only just moved in, so although they were familiar with the complex having owned there before, they hadn’t really settled in to living in this particular property yet. They wanted a new sofa bed, and I was at their house to measure up to make sure it fitted properly, that there was room for the bed to be pulled out, and to check the colour they had chosen against their floor tiles. After all, when you are making a big purchase such as a sofa, you need to make sure it is exactly right for you. Furniture isn’t cheap (although in my shop, I have to say, it’s very reasonably priced!), so mistakes can be costly. They had two sofas already, side by side, both facing two big patio doors, and were planning on replacing them with one large one with a chaise and a bed. As

we stood chatting, I happened to mention that I had inadvertently picked the best spot in the house in terms of the fabulous view, but it wasn’t where they were thinking of putting the sofa! Within 10 minutes, we had decided to move the room about a bit. In the final event, the sofa with chaise ended up to the far left of the wall, benefiting from the amazing view, and by changing the angle of the TV, the sofa was also perfectly-situated for viewing. We adjusted the size of the sofa so that a small space was left to the right-hand side, which was perfect for a standard lamp. By these simple changes, we had between us really made the best of the room, and its most outstanding feature the view! The clients would obviously have realised this in time, but the furniture would have already been installed and probably wouldn’t have fitted so well. Sometimes, a fresh pair of

eyes can see other possibilities and permutations that you don’t see for your own house. That’s because you have lived there for a while and are almost immune to your surroundings, or because (as in the case of this couple) you haven’t lived there long enough to see how you could actually best use the room. The end result was that the clients got a sofa that fitted perfectly, in a material we had chosen on-site in their own home to ensure it toned perfectly. We also made the back cushions a bit higher than normal as the gentleman was very tall. There is no extra charge for these minor design alterations and, since the sofa was made here in Tenerife, it was produced and installed within two weeks. So try to see your home with fresh eyes. If you have any doubts, ask a professional to help you, or at least confirm your choices. This service should be offered without any obligation or extra expense.

The technology firm said eight of its popular Bravia range of LCD TVs are subject to an “inspection and rework programme”, following incidents reported in Japan. Sony said a limited number of the TVs might contain a component that could overheat and ignite inside the set, causing the upper casing to melt. “To date, there have been no reports of any damage to other prop-

Sony statement The model numbers are: KDL-40D3400, KDL40D3500, KDL-40D3550, KDL-40D3660, KDL40V3000, KDL-40W3000, KDL-40X3000 and KDL40X3500. Sony advises people who own one of these sets to take it to their nearest Sony service centre for a free inspection and, if necessary, a free repair. Owners of Sony TVs can

check the model number of their set by looking at the label on the back. “If you own one of the products mentioned above and if you notice any abnormality (e.g. unusual noise, unusual smell or smoking), please turn it off immediately, unplug the power cable, stop using the TV, and contact us,” Sony said. “We have confirmed that this symptom does not occur when power is switched off.” It added: “In the unlikely event that you are affected by the issues above, we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”

Our energy firms are offering wrong advice Energy companies are giving inaccurate information and dodgy advice to people who ring up to switch, finds Which?. In an undercover investigation, the consumer champion called each of the six major energy suppliers 12 times in one week. Despite clearly being asked for the cheapest deal, in nearly a third of the calls the firms failed to offer their cheapest tariff. Staff also gave questionable advice about potential savings, cashback deals and fixed prices. Which? found that Southern Electric telesales staff only mentioned its cheapest tariff in three of the 12 calls. Seven of the 12 EDF Energy salespeople recommended its more expensive fixedrate deals instead of its cheaper online tariff. Across all the companies, one third of the salespeople did not mention relevant exit fees, and Scottish Power failed to reveal its £51 exit fees in nine of the

erty or physical injuries,” the company added. The affected televisions were manufactured in 2007 and 2008 and were mostly sold in Europe and the US.

12 calls. British Gas staff offered its cheapest tariff in ten of the 12 calls but offered wildly varying cashback deals alongside this tariff, ranging from £0 to £175. Offers varied significantly even within the same region – a caller from one London postcode was offered £125 cashback and another was offered nothing. Some salespeople gave conflicting advice on fixed-price tariffs. One advised signing up to Scottish Power’s three-year fix because it was so long while another recommended its one-year fix because it was so short. With price increases of up to £190 a year now taking effect, the average annual household energy bill is now £1,300. Which? has found that more people are looking to switch and in recent weeks consumers have been urged by the government to do so. More than a quarter of customers looking to switch rely on telephone advice from energy suppliers to get a better deal. Richard Lloyd, Which? executive director says: “If you call an energy supplier asking for

their cheapest deal, that’s exactly what you should get. It’s unacceptable for sales staff to give information that’s plain wrong or confusing. Giving the right advice to customers about switching matters more than ever when so many people are struggling with escalating fuel bills and colder weather is starting to bite. “Which? is talking to the energy companies involved about sorting this out, and we hope they will do so quickly. This is one way the energy industry could start rebuilding trust among consumers. “Our advice to customers is that if you are going to switch, make sure you insist on being told the cheapest possible deal. Check for exit fees and ask about paying by direct debit or managing your account online as this will usually get you a discount. Or compare all the available offers using an independent comparison website or phone line to get the best deal. Switching is actually much easier to do than you might think and can save you money.”

Feast your eyes

This week while surfing through the Thompson & Morgan International website three new online offerings caught my eye.

Chilli Pepper ‘Basket of Fire’

A chilli plant which is ideal for hanging baskets and containers. Called ‘Basket of Fire’ it grows bushy and is smothered in chillis, in a variety of colours. The small hot chillis mature from deep purple through yellow and orange to a bright red, creating a fabulous display. Sowing instructions - Place seed on the surface of a free draining compost and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. They take 7 - 10 days to germinate. Growing instructions - Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3 in) pots. Plant in final situation when 10cm (4in) high, 45cm (18in) apart. Feed weekly with a high potash tomato fertiliser once first fruits have set.

Sowing instructions - Soak seeds overnight in warm water before sowing, 1cm (1/2in) deep, 3 seeds per 7.5cm (3in) pot , or into root trainers 1-2 seeds per cell, in free draining, damp seed compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and place at 20-25C (6877F) until after germination which takes 7-21 days. Do not exclude light. Spring sowings can be sown outdoors, 2.5cm (1in) deep, in drills 7.5cm (3in) apart. Growing instructions - Over-winter October sown plants in cooler conditions such as a cold frame before planting out in spring when the ground has warmed, 23-30cm (9-12in) apart. Pinch out growing point once the second pair of leaves has opened. Water freely in dry weather and apply well rotted manure occasionally. Remove faded flowers regularly.

Pea Bingo

Dark green, semi leafless plant habit producing pods in pairs, averaging 8 dark green peas per pod. A heavy cropper even in poor growing conditions. Strong root rot tolerance and good powdery mildew resistance. Early main crop maturity. Ideal for growing in containers. Height 80cm (32in). Sowing instructions - Sow every 10 days for successional crops. Sow in flat-bottomed drills 5cm (2in) apart, 5cm (2in) deep and in rows 75cm (30in) apart. Prefers well drained, moist, rich conditions.

Sweet Pea ‘Spanish Dancer’

Delightfully scented flowers, with an average of 4 blooms per stem in a never-before-seen tricolour with unusual veining, ‘Spanish Dancer’ is an ideal cut flower. Bred by one of the world’s top breeders, this sweet pea variety is an enthusiast’s dream!

Growing instructions

Ready to harvest around 12-13 weeks from sowing date. Regular picking will encourage further cropping. Plants are self supporting when sown in blocks.

Re-potting cacti Most homes and apartments have a cactus lurking about; the plant that you inherited, were given or thought it was a good idea to buy at the time.

They receive little care and attention but at times it’s nice to give them a little bit of TLC, but how I hear you cry, you can’t get near them. The beauty of Cacti and succulents is that you can repot them during any part of the year. The problem is the prickly cacti. It’s best to buy special

14 October - 20 October 2011

compost especially for this type of plant as the nutrient levels differ. But how to get to grips with a plant you can’t even touch? Fold a strip of newspaper, thick paper or thin card into a flexible band you can wrap around the plant. Tap the pot on a hard surface to loosen the roots, and then pull out the plant using the paper ban. Shake off any loose soil. Move the plant into a larger pot with fresh soil, use a spoon to fill around it, and then let it settle for a few days before watering.

This week’s garden Jobs In these high temperatures that we are experiencing it’s too hot to do anything let alone garden. But if you do get the time to potter whether it be first thing in the morning or last thing at night there are a few things that you can do.

Winter leaves

Event thought the traditional summer season has passed us by you can still plant and reap the benefits of winter salad. Sow some late salad crops, put them in a pot and within a few days you’ll have little seedlings. Best to start them off in trays as the ravages of the weather will not be kind to them. Once established transplant them directly into the ground if you so wish, but keep them very well water. If you have no garden, thin them out and grow in a succession of pots, but watch out for the insects. Put a band of grease around the pot so crawling pests can not venture in. The sticky trap pieces of paper are also good that are used for rodents. Try a selection of different leaves for winter not just your old favourites, it will make a tasty change.

Grow your greens

Think about sowing cabbages, onions and broad beans for spring. Some garden centres will sell plug plants if you don’t want to go through the seedling process. If you buy baby plants soak them well first in a container of water, then whatever their final location is to be, pot or garden, make sure it is well prepared and watered so that they get the best chance of survival.

Fruit Trees

If you’ve harvested the fruit from your trees then don’t waste it. This is where gardening and cooking cross over. You can freeze, preserve, make compotes, jam the list is endless, but just do something with it.

Planning

You may not feel like doing anything, so why not plan what you want to plant. Sit with a blank sheet of paper and think of how you can maximize your space, even if it’s just a few pots on your terrace. Think about the things you like to eat – salad, peppers chilies, the list really is endless; remember you don’t have to have oodles of space.

carl pattison from Robot, answers your hair questions

Don’t fade away! COLOUR loss is a major problem here in Tenerife, what with the sun, the sea and the hard water, etc.

It can be a real nightmare, trying to hold on to your favourite colour, so what can you do to help? Well, first of all, what colour are you trying to save? Red? Orange Blonde? Even darker shades can be affected, too, so where do you start to give your precious colour some added protection? Firstly if it’s reds you are protecting, the worst thing you can do is use hot water to wash it in, and the same goes for coppers as well. After all, you wouldn’t wash a red T-shirt in boiling water, would you? And the same goes for your brighter hair shades. Lukewarm or cool is best, and try not to over-wash the hair, either. If it’s not particularly dirty, then one quick wash will suffice. And ALWAYS use a colourcaring range of products because I’m not a great believer in the so-called “colour saver” shampoos. A good nourishing shampoo and conditioner will work wonders, and if you can find “colour shampoos” (those that match the tone of your hair), then great because these enliven the colour and prolong the intensity. Don’t be tempted to use cheap, supermarket brand products as these contain too much salt, and we all know what’s used on a redwine stain to remove it, don’t we? Yup, salt and water to lift out the colour, so it will have

Page 40

the same detrimental effect on your glowing hair colour as well. Your new shade of blonde can be affected, too. Ash blondes can turn “brassy” and yellow-looking if they fade, so combat this with a violet shampoo. They are the same as those blue bits in your washing powder. These are called “optical brighteners” and they don’t actually lighten the hair but masque out the unwanted yellow. It makes the colour appear more ash and thus lighter looking. Your golden tones can also fade to a more pastel shade, so look out for shampoos that contain yellow tones to liven up the colour in between salon visits. Best of all, don’t let them

fade in the first place by using a hair sunscreen. I know I harp on about Moroccan oil, but it’s so good for combating colour-fade. It is the main use of this product, apart from everything else it does. A must for all coloured hair, whatever the shade, is a hair “masque” every week. Wrap your hair in a hot, damp towel and leave the masque to “steam” into your hair. This replaces lost moisture, minimising colour-fade and protecting your hair at the same time. Any heat appliances should be kept to a minimum as these can also “burn out” the colour, which should remain locked in your hair. Ask your stylist for his/her advice to keep your colour A1 perfect.

Why texting can be

a pain in the neck Chiropractors are warning of a rise in a new condition called ‘text neck’, as people spend more time hunched over their mobile phones. The affliction is caused by

flexing the neck for extended periods of time and can cause permanent arthritic damage if not treated. In some cases, patients can adapt to the flexed position and it becomes painful to straighten the neck out

properly. Rachel Lancaster, of Freedom Back Clinic in Leeds, told news organisations she had treated thousands of patients for ‘text neck’. “Text neck is caused by the neck being flexed for a prolonged period of time,” she said. “Sufferers are increasing as the use of smartphones and tablet computers become more popular.” She added: “If people continue to put their necks in these positions the body will gradually adapt to the stresses.” Tips for warding off text neck include rotating the shoulders with your arms by your sides, taking regular screen breaks and sitting up straight while texting. Children are most at risk from the condition because their heads are larger in relation to their body size then adults.

‘Free funerals’ for organ donors AN influential ethical body maintains that paying for the funerals of organ donors could help boost the number of life-saving transplant operations. The Nuffield Council on Bioethics believes the Health Service should consider a pilot scheme to gauge public opinion. The idea is that funeral costs would be met only if someone who has signed the register dies in circumstances where his or her organs could be donated to others. The independent body says there are 8,000 peo-

ple in the UK who spend an average of three years awaiting a transplant until a suitable organ donor becomes available. Three people die every day before receiving a vital organ, according to the Nuffield Council, and paying for funerals of donors could be an ethical way of encouraging more people to sign the register. The proposal forms part of a series of recommendations in a Council report following an 18-month inquiry into the ethics of encouraging people to donate from a range of areas, encompassing major organs, eggs, sperm,

blood, tissue and whole bodies. Professor Dame Marilyn Strathern, who headed the inquiry, said: “Government initiatives to improve the health of the population are crucial to reducing the number of people in need of organs in the UK. “But we must also take reasonable steps towards increasing the number of potential donors. So the possibility of sparing relatives the financial burden of a funeral might encourage more people to register as donors. “Paying for the funerals of organ donors would be ethically justified. No harm

Double pain of women who suffer miscarriage WOMEN who miscarry are experiencing additional, unnecessary heartbreak because of poor NHS services, according to two new surveys.

A Mumsnet poll of around 1,400 women who lost their babies in the last decade found 63% of those who miscarried at home following a hospital scan were not offered adequate pain relief. And 48% of those who were in hospital for their miscarriage were treated alongside pregnant women or those with new-born babies, causing unnecessary distress. More than one-fifth (21%) of those referred for a scan had to wait three days or more for it, while 35% of women who needed a surgical procedure had to wait four days or longer. Overall, 29% said the information provided by healthcare staff was poor or inadequate. A second gurgle.com survey of more than 500 women who miscarried found 14% were told they needed to experience four or more in a row before they could be tested for a cause. Recommendations are for women to be referred after suffering three miscarriages in a row. The poll also found 62% of women were given no information by their GPs about further testing following miscarriage, while 12% of women were placed on the labour ward to recover after a miscarriage,

and 32% were put on a general ward. Almost half (44%) said they did not feel they were treated sensitively by medical staff after their miscarriage, while 69% said there was not enough support to women to help increase the chances of a subsequent, healthy pregnancy. Mumsnet members have developed a five-point Miscarriage Code of Care, calling for supportive staff, access to scans and more information on treatment. Justine Roberts, Mumsnet’s co-founder, said: “There is no getting away from the hurt of miscarriage, but there are a number of simple changes that could make a considerable difference to the level of trauma undergone by miscarrying parents.” Professor Tom Bourne, consultant gynaecologist at London’s Imperial College NHS Trust, said: “Possible miscarriage is one of the most common reasons women are seen in hospital. “The Mumsnet Code of Care addresses some of the fundamental principles involved in caring for women at this difficult time and is to be applauded.” The Government’s Health Minister, Anne Milton, said: “Miscarriage is devastating for women and their partners, so it is essential that they get the best care to deal with the physical and emotional effects.”

can come to the donor, and it would be a form of recognition from society. “We think a pilot scheme to test the public response to the idea is worth trying, alongside other schemes.” The report opposed a “hard” opt-out approach to organ donation in which organs were taken automatically, unless a person had objected in their lifetime. But it backed a “mandated” or “prompted” choice system, in which people were encouraged to make a choice about organ donation during their lifetime - provided they also had an opportunity to make objections clear.

Challenge is on to tackle those hospital superbugs A NEW drug targeting hospital superbug Clostridium difficile (C. diff) while avoiding so-called “friendly” bacteria in the gut has been recommended by the European Medicines Agency.

It is hoped that Dificlir will improve the current treatment of gut inflammation and severe diarrhoea, caused by C. diff.

The EMA believes the antibiotic should be authorised, which, it maintains, would be “a major step forward” in tackling the growing levels of resistance to available antibiotics across the European Union. Infection with C. diff is a leading cause of disease in hospitals, usually sparking illness in patients who have been

treated with other antibiotics, says the EMA. But few acceptable treatments for C. diff are available. Because Dificlir targets C. diff specifically, its effect on other, beneficial bacteria in the gut is said to be minimal. Dr Xavier Luria, the EMA’s head of safety, said: “This is a promising step forward in the agency’s drive for ad-

dressing patients’ needs concerning infectious diseases.” The drug is not yet licensed in the UK and is not used in British hospitals yet, says the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. But the European Commission will decide soon whether to authorise marketing of the drug.

An eggs-ellent day for celebrations TODAY, 14th October, is Sir Cliff Richard’s 71st birthday! It is also World Egg Day all over the globe, from Europe and America to Australia and China.

It is held annually on the second Friday of October to inform everyone, from consumers to health professionals, about the big benefits that come from such a unique but humble package, and generally supplied by a chicken. From its beginnings in 1996, the WED occasion has grown in stature and spread around the globe, with special events held to promote the egg. Each year people celebrate the day with fun happenings particular to the individual countries, such as: *Egg festivals *Celebrity chef and cooking competitions *Special recipe promotions *Children’s events

Apart from feeding families around the world for centuries, we love them scrambled, boiled, fried, coddled or poached for breakfast, or any other meal for that matter. And they are incredibly adaptable for many recipes, including omelettes, quiches, pasta dishes, noodles and salads - and not forgetting mouth-watering goodies such as pancakes, pastries, meringues and mousses. For mums, they are an everyday, unbeatable package when it comes to providing versatility and topquality protein at an agreeable price. World Egg Day proclaims that these oval objects are one of nature’s highest quality sources of protein, and contain many of the key ingredients for life. The proteins are important to the development of the brain and muscles, have a key role to play in disease prevention and contribute to well-being in latter life, particularly in relation to eyesight. So get cracking, shell out for a dozen eggs and whip up something special for your family today.

Tortilla - any time, any place! EVERYONE seems to love Spanish Omelette or, to give it the correct title over here, Tortilla, which can be served at any time of day or night.

Cooked properly, it is one of the tastiest meals of all and can be used for a tapas, a side dish, in a picnic or even for your main meal - and it can be served hot or cold. If you cook or discover a really good one, then say goodbye to that diet because you’ll want more and more of this Spanish mainstay. And it is simple to prepare and cook. Before you start, however, be aware that the frying pan must be of a certain size, with a diameter of 20cm) to cover up to three people per meal, or up to eight if you’re cutting wedges for a snack. Remember, too, that if you want to cook for more people, a larger pan must not weigh too much because you have to turn the omelette out using your hands. Another “must” is to use a non-stick pan to make life easier all round, and a flat saucepan lid or large plate to cover the pan would not go amiss, either.

Put the frying pan back on the heat, add the rest of the oil and turn the heat back up to medium. Then mix the potato and eggs thoroughly before pouring the whole lot into the frying pan and turning the heat down to its lowest setting immediately. It will take 20-25 minutes to cook slowly and uncovered, so be very patient. Draw the outside in gently with a palette knife from time to time, as this will give it a lovely rounded edge. When there is hardly any liquid egg left on the surface of the omelette, turn it over to cook the other side. To do this, place a flat lid or plate over the pan, carefully turn them both upside down so that the omelette is on the lid or plate. Put the pan back on the heat and use the palette knife to ease the omelette back in. Give it about two more minutes and then turn the heat off and leave for a further five minutes to settle. It should then be cooked through, yet still moist in the centre. Serve hot or cold, cut in wedges, with a salad - and enjoy one of the most satisfying tastes ever. And all for peanuts!

Ingredients 1 medium onion, about 4 oz (110g) 275g/10oz small Desirée potatoes 3 tbsp olive oil 5 large eggs Salt and black pepper Preparation Cut a peeled onion in half, then slice each half thinly and separate the layers into half-moon shapes. Now pare the spuds thinly and slice them into thin rounds, but remember, you must work quickly because, you’ll only end up with brown slices otherwise. When they are sliced, get them as dry as you can by rubbing them in a clean teacloth or linen cloth. Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in the frying pan until it is literally smoking, then add the potatoes and onions. Toss them around in the oil to get a good coating, and then turn the heat down to its lowest setting. Sprinkle on salt and pepper liberally, put a lid (plate) on the frying pan and allow the onions and potatoes cook gently for 20 minutes, or until they are tender. Turn them over halfway through and shake the pan from time to time because they are not supposed to brown very much. The idea is that they just stew gently in the oil. Meanwhile, break the eggs into a large bowl and whisk them lightly, but don’t overbeat them. Finally, add some seasoning. When the onions and potatoes are cooked, transfer them quickly to the eggs in the bowl.

Monarch is launching its new flights to Barcelona Monarch launches new scheduled flights to Barcelona, Spain’s most cosmopolitan city this month. The flights, which start from £36 one way including all taxes and charges (£57 return), are available to book via www.monarch.co.uk.

Monarch’s new scheduled flights between Gatwick and Barcelona will operate daily from the 21st October 2011, increasing to 11 flights per week from the 30th October 2011 and brings the total number of scheduled destinations served by the airline from Gatwick to 13. Commenting on the launch of this new route, Managing Director of Monarch Airlines, Kevin George said, “Barcelona is one of the UK’s most popular short break destinations and we are delighted to be adding this to our route network from Gatwick in ad-

dition to our existing flights from Manchester. “Barcelona attracts a broad mix of visitors for business, city breaks and leisure for beach goers. During the winter season it is a fantastic gateway to the ski slopes of the Pyrenees. All of these customers will appreciate the convenience and flexibility of up to 11 flights per week in addition to Monarch’s fantastic value fares and innovative ‘build your own class’ service, which offers customers the ability to tailor their flight package to their exact requirements including extra legroom seating and pre-ordered meals.” Monarch’s scheduled flights are available to book until October 2012.

British Airways search for pilots attracts thousands British Airways has had an overwhelmingly positive response to its search for new pilots, receiving more than 6,500 applications from current and aspiring pilots.

The airline’s online pilot recruitment careers page also had 25,000 hits in the first 24 hours, after launching the campaign on August 11th. British Airways launched its biggest pilot recruitment campaign for a decade using three combined programmes: the Future Pilot Programme, recruiting qualified pilots from other airlines and a planned career path for military pilots. The British Airways Future Pilot Programme, an initiative to help people train to become airline pilots for the first time, has

Page 44

had the biggest response. Some 3,500 people have applied for the 80 places available this year. The airline has also received around 3,000 applications to join British Airways from experienced pilots already flying with other commercial carriers. British Airways’ head of pilot recruitment, Captain Robin Glover said: “We are delighted with the fantastic response. “In the first 24 hours of the campaign we had more than 25,000 hits on our pilot recruitment website with people wanting to find out more. “We want to recruit the very highest standard of pilots and the BA Future Pilot Programme widens the talent pool even further.” The airline plans to take on more than 800 new pilots by 2016, with around half coming from the Future Pilot Programme.

Ryanair’s success in Appeal Court battle Ryanair has welcomed the decision in the Barcelona Appeal Court, which ruled that Ryanair’s boarding card reissue penalty is lawful and complies with Spanish and EU law. This final ruling overturns a lower Court finding that the boarding card reissue penalty did not comply with Spanish law. Ryanair highlighted that less than 1% of passengers pay this boarding card reissue penalty which applies only in those rare cases where passengers fail to comply with their agreement, given at the time of booking, that they will web check in online before arriving

at the departure airport. Ryanair’s Daniel de Carvalho said: “We welcome this final ruling which we understand cannot be appealed and removes any confusion in Spain of the lawful nature of our boarding card reissue penalty. This is the first of a number of bizarre lower court rulings in Barcelona which we expect will be overturned on appeal. We urge all Ryanair passengers to ensure that they check in online prior to arriving at their departure airport, in which case no boarding card reissue penalties will arise. By checking in online passengers can also avoid check-in queues and minimise their dwell times at the airport.”

Nissan bid to clean up with a new supermini GONE are the days of adding forced induction to cars for improved performance from any given engine capacity today’s trend is all about low emissions while maintaining useful performance.

And Nissan, on the new Micra 1.2 DIG-S supermini, have gone one step further by adding a supercharger to their 1.2-litre, three-cylinder engine. This provides the power of a 1.5 with the economy of a 1.0-litre unit, so it is no wonder the Japanese company claim their new speed machine has one of the cleanest petrol engines in the world. The DIG-S stands for Direct-Injection Gasoline-Supercharged and the idea is to combine the power of a 1.5-litre engine with the economy of a 1.0-litre unit. As well as the headline figure of only 95g/km of CO2 emissions, assisted by an idle stop/ start system as standard, the car has an official EU Combined economy of 65.7mpg. This model is also one of only three petrol-engined cars which are exempt from the London congestion charge,

and enjoys zero road tax. It is fair to say that the Micra has never been a car to set the world alight, and it is also fair to say that this is not the Nissan way. If you want out-andout performance, try the brutal GT-R sports car for starters. In a market brimful of outstanding superminis, it might be easy to overlook the Micra. But such is the model’s reputation over four incarnations that there is a ready market for its brand of no-nonsense motoring. The 1,198cc, three-cylinder engine, which drives the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission, develops 97bhp with 107lb ft of torque. It pulls well from 3,000rpm, but less strongly from about 2,000rpm. It would be unkind to say it’s lethargic, but a little more oomph would be nice when pulling out of junctions. Otherwise the acceleration is pretty strong, along with sufficient torque to enable 30mph at only 2,000rpm. The three-cylinder engine has more character than a four, and refinement is good, with the engine spinning at only 2,500rpm at 60mph and 3,000rpm at 70mph in top gear.

A billion cars on the road as China swamps the market THE number of cars on the road has hit the magical one-billion mark for the first time ever. That’s because so many drivers are snapping them up in developing nations. More than 35 million new cars were sold last year - comparable with

14 October - 20 October 2011

the number in use on UK’s roads now. Unsurprisingly, ultra-rich China leads the growth trend, with an enormous 14 million cars sold in 2010, and ownership leaping by 27.5% in a single year. China now has more than twice as many cars on the road as recorded in the UK, and the market there is expanding rapidly. However, it still pales compared America’s total of 240 million, which is almost one car per head of the population.In India, just one in 56 people owns a car, though the proportion is rising, with an 8.9% growth in ownership last year.The contrast in tastes between developing nations and European ones is interesting: last year, Toyota sold just one Prius hybrid in China, while a staggering 850,000 4x4s were driven away from forecourts.The one-billion-car total on the road means there is double the 1986 number and four times the 1970 total. Even more mind-boggling is the suggestion that by 2050, there will be 2.5 billion cars. More roads needed, then!

Nissan Micra 1.2 DIG-S It’s also easy to drive, with slick major controls. The light clutch and gear-change make easy work of urban driving, while the electrically-assisted steering is standard on all models, It is direct but, unfortunately, tends to be on the woolly side, so keen drivers won’t be quick to rave about it. Yet it does the job; likewise the chassis, which is set up for comfort rather than agility. An initial sensation that there will be too much body roll never actually develops, while the grip is easily sufficient for spirited driving, given the car’s performance. The current Micra is built in five factories around the world, with UK models assembled in India. As cars continue to expand in girth and length, it feels on the small side now - halfway between an ultra-compact city car and the latest superminis. Inside, there’s plenty of space, in width and height, but it looks and feels dull compared with the class-leading European offerings. Yet it is constructed well, and you just know it will be durable, although some of the plastics are hard against their rivals’ soft-touch surfaces, while the satnav and stereo

controls are on the fiddly side. Three trim levels are offered: Visia (£11,150), Acenta (£12,150 and expected to be the biggest seller), as well as the range-topping Tekna (£13,650). The Acenta trim level includes manual air-conditioning, a front armrest and height-adjustable driver’s seat. The steering wheel and gearshift knob are leather-bound, while the stereo includes a CD player with aux-in facility and four loudspeakers. It also includes Bluetooth connectivity and a bag holder incorporated into the front passenger seat to prevent luggage rolling around the cabin. The Micra DIG-S presents a compelling argument, especially when you consider the price differential of diesel versus petrol, and the potential problems inherent in the emissions-control systems fitted to many current diesels. It has a top speed of 112mph, covers 0-62mph in 11.3 seconds and will return 41.5mpg/52.3mpg (EU Urban/Combined) Okay, it’s obviously not the most stylish way to travel, but pricewise, in these austere times, you could be laughing all the way to the bank.

Match Report By Geoff Huxtable FOURTH-PLACED Phoenix Bar enjoyed a cracking night of darts during a home encounter with third-placed Cozy Wanderers. A close encounter was expected, but the Cozy lads came storming out of the traps to take the first three rubbers. However, inspired by Del Boys 5th maximum, the home side came firing back to take a 4-3 lead. A remarkable victory for Phoenix was not to be, though, because the visitors took the trebles. Target Army’s Grant hit his third 180 in a night of brilliant scoring, and a 5-3 win over Barracudarts Boys, while Tornados’ Kiko also hit his third maximum during a draw at The Pub. Mike Telf came back to win from 2-0 down for Xtreme Sports Bar as they disposed of Yelas, and Gaffers’ Daniel took out 118 in a draw at Ensecan. The other matches included regulation wins for Bar 180 A, Valle Vikings 1 and Cafe Rood A.

Sundowners increased their lead to seven points at the top, but they had to wait until the trebles leg to secure victory over Ourplace Naturals. Scruffy Macs took full advantage of that result to regain second place by whitewashing Sunshine Bar. Scruffy’s Rachael earned herself some rave reviews with a fine display. Cafe Rood B`s win at Lucky Leprechaun was their seventh in eight matches and keeps them in the surge towards the top. Marilyns took the last game to get a draw at Bad Girls/Boys, and Palms Sports bar enjoyed their best result of the season by thumping the Playgirls 7-1. Naughty Nautas matched that result against Summerland Hopefuls, while La Cana Lancers gained their second win of the season in a close match with Barracuda Hunters. Phoenix Flames now prop up the league after coming unstuck at Trap Door.

A real setback Real Madrid Castilla 3 CD Tenerife 1

SOMETIMES, I hate being right! In last week’s issue, I flagged up the two young talented strikers being groomed for stardom at Real Madrid.

Alvaro Morata and Joselu were given the treatment, and I even gave Joselu the honour of being pictured in the column. Last Saturday, if I told one person I must have told 20 about this couple. The threat was obvious. Well, to everyone apart from the Tenerife back four it seems. They were given the freedom of Madrid for most the match as Castilla put Tenerife in their place. Yes, Tenerife will feel they didn’t get the big decisions from referee Antonio Paragaña, but this was a very fair result. Castilla produced their best performance of the season in front of a decentsized crowd in the midday sun. Tenerife looked nervy in defence and the tackling in midfield was not much better. Five players were booked in the opening half as Tenerife struggled to get a foot-hold in the contest. The biggest surprise was that it took the hosts nearly half-an-hour to open

the scoring. Clumsy defending gifted Castilla a penalty, which Joselu dispatched comfortably. Sixty seconds into the second half and it was 2-0. More sloppy defending saw Morata net and, when Joselu bagged his second 12 minutes later, the match was over. Zazo’s sweet free-kick 10 minutes from time was no consolation, but his first goal for the club could lead to him starting this weekend. It was a worrying loss. The gloss from the previous weekend’s win over Montañeros has gone and this was another poor display. Nobody is expecting Tenerife to win every away match, but this, coupled with the defeat at Getafe B, showed that CDT’s Achilles heel may still be the travelling. And the lads are back on the plane for another earlymorning kick-off this Sunday. As the League table shows, the Castilla loss was no disaster as the sides at the top all struggled. Fourth-place La Roda offer a different sort of challenge from Castilla. They are another provincial side who have battled up the leagues.

league in the fourth tier two seasons ago and finally earning promotion last time around. And they have hit the ground running this term. They are the secondhighest goal-scorers and they have notched four goals in three out of their four home matches so far, including wins over Castilla and Getafe B! They are made up mainly of semi-pro local lads, and they can play a bit. The danger man is Sergio Ortiz, who bagged a hat-trick against Castilla a few weeks back. Tenerife will need to take them very seriously, as winger Ferran admitted at Wednesday’s press conference. “We’re going to La Roda to get the three points, but it will be hard,” he said. “We have to forget the defeat by Castilla and have to improve. But we will have to be careful with this Roda team.” There is a good chance that Chechu Flores will finally start for Tenerife. A variety of injuries has restricted him to just 13 minutes of action so far this season. But he is now fully fit and, it seems, he may be the third man in midfield for Tenerife, with just a loan striker up front.

Palms humble poor Terrace SIX matches were decided by a 6-4 scoreline in another run of tight matches in Division One this week. But that was never going to happen in Torviscas as leaders Palms Bar A thumped Terrace A 8-2.

The visitors have now lost three on the trot and their early-season start looks a flash in the pan. Palms A are going nicely, and so are Tenerife Hammers A. Both sides meet in a rare Monday-night fixture this week, and the Hammers warmed up with a hard-fought win at Phoenix Knights. Some slow play saw the match nearly drag into Wednesday. Hoops Bar may be punching above their weight, but they are still bang in title contention. Despite Bernie failing to hit the target - maybe he was keeping himself for some other battle - the Hoops always had enough to see off Legends in a Cristianos derby. Just around the corner, Tasca pushed Summerlands Superstars all the way. Ash gave the hosts an early advantage, before John continued his smart form to land the first knockout blow of the night on Grandad. Penguin returned to form with three wins but Tasca held on until Mark’s late win secured the points. Trap Door lost again. Atlantis Sharks bounced back from a rare home loss with a stunning away win, while Gaffers A are on a charge. Their win at Dreamers made it four on the spin and they are now six unbeaten. It was a mixed night for the Bar 180 lads. The A team were 3-1 down to Toscales early doors, but they roared back to win three of the last four legs and take all the points. The C team were also 3-1 down, but missed chances cost them as Target Bar got home 7-3 to rack up consecutive wins for the first time this season. Nauta A are finally back in the winning groove. They leapfrog Summerland Allstars after a Jack-inspired win! The top two clashed in Di-

vision Two, and Barracuda Bandits laid down a massive marker as they edged past Phoenix Potters. The visitors’ poor start cost them dearly as Bandits sped into a 3-1 lead. The doubles were shared, and the match seemed over when Steve beat Derek. But the Potters stayed focused. Eric beat Raymond and when Les accounted for Jim, it was game on. However, Phoenix boss Geoff again failed to hold his nerve and Colin potted the last black to scoop the three points. Summerland Elite had a poor night at the office as they missed the chance to cement second spot at Terrace B. The Amarilla Golf guys showed their A team how to do it as they smashed in a 7-3 win-ofthe-week success. Bar La Caña are still charging up the table, with this week’s victims being Wandabar A. Exiles remain undefeated, but the fine 8-2 win over Lupain was only their fourth of the season. Inn The Pink eked out a win at Toscales ATeam, while Conners are at an all-time-high eighth spot following the 6-4er at Market Taverners. Hat-tip of the week goes to Barracuda Hunters. They were 5-2 down at Nauta B before late wins for John, Christophe and old Roger gave them a thrilling point. Just like their A team, Gaffers B are flying at the moment. They had just enough in the tank to squeeze past C&A Titans 6-4 to stay four points clear at the top of Division Three. The Treehouse are on their heels as they made hay at home to the Sunshine Bar, while Exiles B got a moraleboosting victory at Wandabar B 8-2. They host Gaffers B on Tuesday. The Office recorded their biggest-ever win at home to an out-of-sorts Dos Hermanos, while Next Door snuck past the Bull Ring Tavern. And well done to Dragon’s Denn. They recorded their first-ever win in the Silencio derby with Lucky Leprechaun, whom they climb over at the bottom of the table.

Horoscopes of the week Libra

(September 24th-October 23rd) Your ruling planet, Venus, has been pushing you to ask for things you don’t want. Careful! Try to be aware of all that you are saying. You know you are joking, but others, especially close pals, may take you seriously. There is an air of egotism about you that is going to be making it easy for people to get the wrong impression. Tread carefully. ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) New work avenues join and are especially lucky if they link to foreign names and places. An instant attraction over the weekend will see many people under your sign falling in “lust” at first sight as the most romantic mood of the year takes over. But you can afford to speak your mind to close ones in the coming week. TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) Lies are being told in business. Get all promises in writing and not just verbally. You are going to find it very hard to stick to any sort of a schedule as friends decide to take over your week. Go with the flow. The faces they’ll be introducing you to are well worth meeting. GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) Rumours that you hear about those you love are unlikely to be true and it would be to your advantage to take all gossip with a pinch of salt. Or could it be that you are just using this as a diversion to ignore a financial matter before you. CANCER (June 22ndJuly 23rd) Mercury conjoins Saturn this week, and as long as you play by the rules and finish what you start, then you will be able to make the impossible possible. You should

Page 48

now find that there are numerous doors and opportunities open to you (and about time, too). Try to make this week the one that changes your life for the better. LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) Work and career matters should prove pleasing as you discover that a lack of confidence was behind the recent setbacks you have been suffering. Times are changing though, as important meetings you attend will prove. But make sure your attention does not stray and that you keep your finger on the pulse at all times. VIRGO (August 24thSeptember 23rd) Emails and phone calls should bring surprises but should also prove most pleasing. This is a time to put some money back into the pot instead of watching funds deplete. So hold your head up high and look forward to a bubbly week in all ways. What money worries? SCORPIO (October 24thNovember 22nd) Offers of holidays and short breaks away are just what the doctor ordered, if you can persuade your boss that the “prescription” is genuine! We all love to make more of a situation than is necessary and your sign in particular loves to tell stories. Be careful of making false promises as they will come back on you, so just tell it like it is.

Weekly Quiz 30-Second Brain Training General knowledge 1. Royston Vasey is the fictional town in the League of Gentlemen but it is also the real name of which comedian? -------------------------------------------------2. What is the name of the first test tube baby born in 1978?

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rdDecember 21st) Your element of fire is pushing you to tell secrets which are not yours to share, so be wary, the person who has been acting so distantly from you is probably only trying to impress you, so try not to take anything too much to heart for everyone’s sake.

-------------------------------------------------3. Susan Brown made sporting history in April 1981 by becoming the first female what?

CAPRICORN (December 22ndJanuary 20th) Look smart! Dress well this week because promotions and pay rises may be yours if you do.

What you are sending out though, are some very mixed signals and friends may not know quite where they stand.

-------------------------------------------------5. Which boxer was nicknames `The Brown Bomber`?

AQUARIUS (January 21stFebruary 19th) Accepting last-minute invites this weekend could spark a new romance for many under your sign. Superiors are sure to be far more satisfied to see you pulling together rather than trying to cope on your own, but don’t believe work offers made through social contacts. PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) Mars has been bringing a major change to the life of a close one, which could shock and surprise you. You have much work ahead of you and teamwork plays an essential part in your success. You don’t have to cope with everything on your own as events after the weekend will soon prove.
