Spain on the brink!

The contenders; Rubalcaba (left) and Rajoy.

SPAIN is on the very brink of a bailout, just days before Sunday’s General Election and, probably, a new Government.

Whoever wins - and the opposition conservatives appear to be in the driving seat - will be left with the legacy of an economic conundrum. That’s because, with Italy having joined Greece, Portugal and the Irish Republic on the eurozone critical list, Spain could well be next. If that is so, severe austerity measures will have to be put in place, affecting not only mainland Spain but Tenerife and the other Canary Islands as well. Cutbacks would have to be implemented immediately, the public sector would be the first to suffer, and food prices would surely be forced up. And that would just be for starters! A major financial crisis is hovering on the horizon because the Spanish Government’s cost of borrowing money on the financial markets has risen dramatically. It is so close to the limit which forced the other eurozone governments to seek bailouts

from their neighbours, but Spain’s enormous economy could be too big to rescue. Following the issue of 10-year bonds yesterday (Thursday), the country is said to be in the “Rescue Zone”. The Treasury placed 3.563 billion euros worth of bonds, repayable in 10 years on the market, but, the 7.088% interest demanded is 30% more than at the last auction. That took place in October, when similar bonds were sold at 5.453%, which amounts to a 25% increase in weeks. The new interest rate, considered unsustainable, is a peak figure which has not been seen since 1997, and is viewed as a psychological barrier in the markets. The Spanish stock market fell sharply after the news. Even worse for the Spanish Treasury is that it must return to the markets five times more before the end of the year. Ironically the level of Spanish debt is lower than even that of the UK and Germany. The Spanish employers’ organisation, CEOE, has already called on Sunday’s winning party in the General Election to take urgent measures the next day. Two veteran Spanish politicians

go head to head for the dubious honour of becoming Spain’s next Prime Minister, yet they are fully aware of the enormity of their task. They know Spain is embroiled in the worst of economic woes, and that the unemployment rate is close to 22% - more than double the European Union average. Yet both men believe they have the tools to rescue their country. Mariano Rajoy Brey, 56, who leads the centre-right opposition Popular Party, is sure he can make a big difference. On the other hand, 60-year-old former Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba, of the governing Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party, is convinced he can find the vital ingredient which has eluded his colleague and current PM, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, who is stepping down after two terms. Here’s how they weigh up against each other in the challenge to run an anxiety-ridden country: Mariano Rajoy held several ministerial posts between 1996 and 2003 and was first deputy Prime Minister from 2000 to 2003. During that time he won praise for his defence of the government’s

handling of the huge Prestige oil spill, and Spain’s role in the Iraq invasion. He became president of the Popular Party in October 2004 and wants to amend the smoking ban, which is certain to win him countless votes. But he has already lost two previous elections, in 2004 and again in 2008. This time, however, he believes that favouring new austerity measures will sway the vote his party’s way, especially as he is seen as a straightforward, reliable politician. Rajoy says: “A win for the Popular Party will send a message to the world that things will be done well from now on.” His opponent, Rubalcaba, rose to prominence and popularity after a series of successes in the battle against the Basque terrorist group ETA during his term as Interior Minister. He has been also been given credit for a string of arrests of ETA leaders, which contributed to the group’s ceasefire this year. Only this week, Zapatero commended him highly for these deeds. “ETA could not have been defeated had it not been for

Rubalcaba,” he stressed. Rubalcaba is regarded as a safe but sharp operator, who has served in various ministerial posts in Socialist-led governments since 1988. He was appointed Interior Minister in 2006, two years after the Socialists regained power, and in October 2010 he became First Deputy Prime Minister and Government spokesman. He resigned from these posts in July when he was nominated to stand after Zapatero confirmed he was retiring, at least from frontline politics. Rubalcaba immediately called on banks to donate part of their profits to a job creation fund, and he urged a crackdown on corruption and electoral reform. Meanwhile, the Spanish Post Office, Correos, says that 13% of the 671,599 voters - 87,307 people - who have requested a postal vote for the General Election are still awaiting their documentation. Finally, voting is open only to Spanish nationals, so even if you have lived in Spain for 30 years, say, and have held a residencia for all that time, you still cannot cast a vote.

News around the Islands Water firm flowing sweetly WATER company Entermanser’s customer-service switchboard has avoided over 6.000 visits to its offices by offering an improved and more extensive telephone service. The company says that 49.72% of calls were consultations and only 0.15% were complaints.

Chemists feel financial pain MANY chemists in the Canaries are facing closure because of unpaid bills by the Health services, amounting to nearly 100 million euros. Chemists can no longer guarantee to stock the full range of medicines, which makes the prospect of stock shortages seems likely.

Valle San Lorenzo sets its stall WORK on Valle San Lorenzo’s market, costing 1.6 million euros and with space for 82 stalls, is set to open shortly.

Majestic Mencey reopens, in all its former splendour BANG on schedule, Santa Cruz’s Grand Hotel Mencey reopened last Friday following an incredible 25-million-euro renovation.

There’s still a bit of work to be completed before the official opening on 14th December, but Friday’s first viewing drew high praise from Ricardo Melchior, President of the Tenerife Cabildo. “This has been an extraordinary work, which has respected the original character

of the building,” he said. “It is homely, comfortable and beautiful.” He also commended the extraordinary murals in the hotel and the “beautiful garden”, which are part of Tenerife’s cultural heritage, in the middle of Santa Cruz. The plan for the Iberostarowned hotel was to rekindle its memorable, bygone times when such stars as Sir Winston Churchill, Greek shipping magnate Onassis, plus legendary actresses Elizabeth Taylor and Sofía Loren, were lured by

its opulence. The architects and builders have succeeded admirably since the hotel closed just two years ago, a tired, weary old building in need of a facelift. Far from simply modernising the iconic, 60-year-old landmark, the owners have restored this magnificent hotel to its former glory. The first 60 guests will have enjoyed their palatial surroundings, despite the ongoing work, and manager David Cañibano said: “We are already operating as a hotel

and will increase the number of guests in the coming days.” Hotel Mencey is running with all services, except for 61 of the 261 rooms, which are still under construction. The manager highlighted some of the new services on offer, such as brunch on Sundays, the Mencey snacks and even a kitchen classroom with courses, classes and tastings. On top of the huge renovations undertaken, both inside and out, the Mencey will also feature a 2,000 square-metre spa.

A Word from our editor Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

Stir Sunday IF you’re at a loose end this Sunday, then get cooking. Did you know that this Sunday is stir-up Sunday, it’s an informal term in Anglican churches for the last Sunday before the season of Advent, and is the traditional day to make Christmas pudding, cake, or the mincemeat for mince pies.

This year, it falls on 20th November, and making your pud or cake early means it really does benefit from all this maturing. The flavour of the spices mellow and deepen, while the fruits plump up and soften. The term “Stir-up” comes from the opening words of the Collect for the day in the Book of Common Prayer of 1549 and later (a translation of the Roman Missal’s Collect “Excita, quæsumus”): Stir up, we beseech thee, O Lord, the wills of thy faithful people; that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works, may of thee be plenteously rewarded; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Through an association of ideas, the day subsequently became connected, especially in England, with the preparation of Christmas puddings in readiness for the great day. In the Book of Common Prayer of 1662 and later, this Collect is listed for “The Twenty-Fifth Sunday After Trinity”, with a rubric (direction for the procedure of the service) specifying that this Collect “shall always be used upon the Sunday next before Advent”. It reinforced the significance of this day as forming part of the preparation for the Advent season. The rubric is necessary because the last Sunday before Advent does not always fall on the 25th Sunday after Trinity.

Page 4

That’s because Trinity Sunday is a moveable feast and the Advent season is fixed, so the number of weeks in between varies from year to year. In recent years, most provinces of the Anglican Communion have adopted the practice of the Roman Catholic Church in observing this Sunday as Christ the King (sometimes under the name The Reign of Christ). Popular attachment to the Stir-up Collect has, however, caused it to be retained (in contemporary language) in the liturgies of several provinces. The Church of England’s Common Worship uses it as the Post-Communion prayer, with a rubric stating that it “may be used as the Collect at Morning and Evening Prayer during this week”. In the US Episcopal Church, the Collect appointed for the Third Sunday of Advent in the Book of Common Prayer (1979) begins with the phrase “stir up your power O Lord”. Thus, in many Episcopal Churches, the Third Sunday of Advent, also known as Gaudete (rejoice) Sunday, is referred to as “Stir-up Sunday”. Marion Hatchett, in his definitive work Commentary on the American Prayer Book, notes that in the PreReformation English Sarum Rite, Collects for four of the last five Sundays before Christmas began with the word excita or “stir up”. A similar Collect to the one appointed in the BCP 1979 appears in the recent book authorised for use in the Church of England, Common Worship, appointed for the Second Sunday of Advent, but the phrase “raise up” is used instead.

Olympic sailors go overboard for San Miguel training stint TEN leading international Lazer teams have just spent five glorious days’ sailing out of San Miguel Marina. They were preparing for next month’s World Sailing Championships and the 2012 London Olympics and finished on Monday. Among them were Javier Hernandez, the Tenerife champion and an Olympic competitor, and England’s Paul Goodison, the 2009 World and European Laser champion, who won gold in the Beijing Olympics the previous year. The sailing cream of Portugal, Sweden, Croatia, Guatemala, England, Germany, Hungary, Uruguay, Denmark and the United States all gathered for some warmweather action before the Worlds in

Australia. Hernandez, who races for the Real Club Nautico de Tenerife, received a pat on the back from Goodison, who was among a group of sailors invited to train in San Miguel. . It was the first time so many international sailing teams had gathered in Tenerife, and for Goodison, it was a week to remember because his kit failed to turn up on the Island in time. “I managed to borrow hiking shorts, boots, rudder and tiller and the only thing missing was sail battens,” he wrote in his blog. “So we got some twigs and job was a good un! I’m not sure if it’s worrying or not that they didn’t seem to make much difference to how quickly I sailed! “By day two my kit had arrived, so nor-

mal service was resumed and I enjoyed a great five days sailing with guys from all over the world in a group invited by Javier. “It was a great venue, with a couple of days of strong breeze and a bit more lighter, fickle stuff, and I was encouraged by how I fared across the range. I definitely want to go back and train there in January.” Hernandez, ranked second by the World International Sailing Federation (ISAF) said: “These are my friends, and at the Olympics they will be my rivals. But it was a real luxury for me to train on my home island. “The Island, in general, and San Miguel Marina in particular, meet the ideal conditions for training.”

British Consulates supply new online notary service THE British Consulates in the Canary Islands have this week launched a new online service to enable customers to book appointments for notarial services.

It will allow them to receive immediate confirmation of their bookings at any time of the day and, if successful, they expect it to be replicated by British Consulates in other countries. The type of notarial services provided includes taking oaths or affirmations and notices of marriage, among others. For some time, the notary services have been carried out on an appointment basis at the Canarian Consular surgeries in Fuerteventura and

Lanzarote, and at the Little Shop in Tenerife South. This meant sending an email and waiting for a reply, or calling the Consular enquiry number. Now, though, booking an appointment is literally just a click away. The online service includes easy-to-follow links to the respective Consulates on the website www.ukinspain.fco. gov.uk Each Consulate has its own site with its own calendar, but once customers have registered, they can choose any of the other British Consulates in the country if it is more convenient for them. Registering is straightforward because only an email address and mobile phone number is required. Then it

is just a case of choosing the service required, clicking on the available day and time and pressing the “send” key. The confirmation email will come immediately, and a reminder will be sent out at least 24 hours prior to the appointment. Customers can

even save their appointment on their outlook calendar to keep things organised. For customers unable to book online, it will still be possible for them to get an appointment by contacting 902 109 356 (or +34 913 342 194 if calling from outside Spain).

Frydays - fish and chips and not just for Fridays FRYDAYS, located in San Marino, Los Cristianos (behind the bus station) serve traditional fish and chips plus a whole host of food items that you are used to in the UK; like mushy peas and curry sauce.

Proprietors Steph and Graham acknowledge that in the beginning they had a few teething problems, but now four months in they’ve regrouped and are fighting fit in preparation for the winter season. Frydays is a family run business with son Christopher and family friend Debbie helping husband and wife team Steph and Graham with the day to day running of the business. Graham has now taken over the cooking and is ‘chief fryer’ he told Canarian Weekly, “we serve cod which is Icelandic and Haddock which is caught in the Atlantic Ocean, there’s no Panga here. Our chips are homemade that means they’re made from real potatoes by hand, they’re not frozen, everything is made freshly, cooked to order.” Nothing in Frydays is precooked like in the UK where you go in and say, I’ll have chips and what ever is ready to go. Don’t worry; it only takes between nine and eleven minutes from fresh to table or takeaway for that matter. Think of Frydays as another restaurant choice for your night out, open from 5pm until late. Their new menu offers a lighter bite special and special meal deal which is proving very popular at the moment. Lighter bite suits those with smaller appetites – a small cod or haddock with half a portion of chips, mushy peas and a slice of bread and butter for just five euros. The special meal deal is only eight euros - full size cod, chips, mushy peas with a slice of bread and butter and a pot of tea, great value for money. If you have special dietary requirements it doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on the Frydays experience. Gra-

ham can cater for Dukans (no carbs) and Coeliacs (gluten free) to name just two. The unique aspect to Frydays which occupies what was previously Overseas Chinese restaurant is that it is completely disabled friendly. Proprietor Steph knows only to well how difficult some restaurants and bars are to access, with narrow doors, impossible toilets and even the height of the tables being wrong, but this couple who hail originally from Leicester have got all the bases covered. At Frydays you eat in the

gorgeous restaurant or takeaway, there is a full bar service available offering a great range of beers, wines and spirits as well as soft drinks. Don’t forget that due to the size of Frydays it would make an ideal venue for your Christmas party. So whether you crave cod (not panga) a nibble on a chicken nugget, savour scampi, fancy a cheeky chip or delight in a proper Doner Kebab Frydays have it all, give Frydays a try, you won’t regret it. See advert page 23.

Travel agency closure TRAVEL agency Viajes Suiza, in El Medano, has closed. According to the main owner Rolf Walter Schmid, the agency has shut down for good and all outstanding debts have been paid. However, one shareholder has told Island Connections that the owner said the company has been shut, due to an ‘embargo de proveedores’ which would

18 November - 24 November 2011

indicate outstanding debts. Island Connections is aware that other shareholders are unhappy with the manner of the closure and what they describe as a lack of co-operation on the part of Mr Schmid. They have told the Newspaper that they have been refused access to the company’s financial records and want to know why as they say such a refusal constitutes a criminal act.

Staff at the Las Galletas site collected 228 euros with a raffle, and a buffet with a big difference. If people wanted food, they had to purchase one-euro ration books. And it was a wartime buffet, consisting of Spam, corned beef, meat-paste sandwiches and a hot corned-beef hash. They also had songs from the Forties playing all evening and everyone enjoyed a good old singalong. Barmaid Julie then went round selling shots on the ‘Black Market’ at a euro each, and all proceeds were donated to the British Legion.

Is inheritance tax in Spain set to change? By Vera Liprandi

INHERITANCE tax is an important consideration for anyone who owns property in Spain, or is thinking of purchasing. The autonomous regions are allowed to set their own inheritance tax levels and allowances. However, these allowances apply only for the estates of people who have been resident in that region for five years, and the beneficiaries are similarly resident. If both the deceased and beneficiaries do not satisfy the residency requirement, then the national state rules apply. There is a vast difference between the state inheritance tax rules and the regional allowances. Several regions, including the Canary Islands, the Balearics, Madrid, Valencia and Murcia, have virtually no inheritance tax between spouses or between parents and children; others have less generous allowances. As previously stated, these allowances apply only where the deceased and beneficiaries are residents. If not, the much-less-generous state rules apply, and these simply allow a deduction of just under 16,000 euros from the gift for tax purposes for spouse, children and parents of the deceased. This can mean that non-resident beneficiaries pay many thousands of euros more tax than they would if they were residents. However, help may be at hand for those thousands of non-resident, holiday-home owners or residents of Spain, whose principal or reserve beneficiaries (such as their children) are non-residents. On 16th February this year, the European Commission asked Spain to amend its tax provisions on inheritance and gift tax on the basis that they impose a higher tax burden on non-residents, and on assets held abroad. The Commission felt the provisions were incompatible with the free movement of workers and capital, which are required under European law. In particular, the Commission considered that there was a breach of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (Articles 45 and 63 respectively). The request takes the form of a complementary “reasoned opinion”. Spain has been given two months to respond, and, if there is no satisfactory response, the Commission may decide to refer the case to the EU’s Court of Justice. However, this may take some time. The Commission previously sent a reasoned opinion to Spain on 5th May 2010 and, although Spanish legislation

has been amended slightly, it is still not fully compliant with EU law. The Commission has, therefore, decided to send the latest complementary, reasoned opinion requesting Spain to make additional changes to its legislation to ensure full compliance. How Spain will respond, when this will be and how this will change the inheritance tax burden for non residents is not yet clear. The Spanish Government is in financial difficulties as it is, and will be reluctant to give up this lucrative, if unjust, stream of revenue. However, it is now on notice, and to delay the matter may lead to claims from those beneficiaries adversely affected by Spain’s failure to comply. This could lead to a similar situation to Capital Gains Tax, which was also discriminatory and, ultimately, amended to be the same for nonresidents and residents alike. This also led to a deluge of claims for compensation from people who had paid the higher rate of tax as non-residents. If and when the inheritance laws are changed, it would be well worth all those with a property in Spain to consult their lawyer or accountant to see whether changes should be made to their wills to reduce or eliminate inheritance tax. Vera Liprandi is a Spanish Lawyer at De Cotta McKenna y Santafé, a

firm of English and Spanish Lawyers which specialises in Wills & Probate. Its offices are in front of the Scotch Corner bar, opposite the Mercadona shopping centre in San Eugenio, at the top of the road leading down to Puerto Colon. If you wish to discuss your Will, or need assistance with an Inheritance in Spain or in the UK, contact the company’s offices on 922 719 520 to book an appointment, or email tenerife@decottalaw.net Incidentally, De Cotta Mc Kenna y Santafé are again proud to sponsor this year’s Annual Charity Meal, organised by Helping Hands in Tenerife.

The new Italian cabinet contains no politicians ITALY’S new leader Mario Monti has formed a technocratic government containing no politicians as the country attempts to stave off financial disaster.

Economist and former European commissioner Mr Monti, who will be both prime minister and economic minister, has announced his new cabinet after two days of consultation. Among the unelected technocrats he appointed was Corrado Passera, chief executive of Italy’s biggest retail bank Intesa Sanpaolo. He was named infrastructure and industry minister. Mr Monti has the task of pushing through tough austerity plans demanded by European leaders to restore shattered confidence in the country. The new leader said he was aiming to restart economic growth and hoped international markets would be placated by the installation of the new government. He said it would need to convince the Italian public and parliament about what were expected to be painful austerity policies, and also paid tribute to outgoing PM Silvio Berlusconi who resigned on Saturday, bowing to market pressure. The new government was announced after disputes among the parties which had complicated Mr Monti’s task of forming administration. Some analysts said lack of politicians in the line-up could make it more vulnerable to ambushes in parliament as it pushes through unpopular measures. But Mr Monti said the lack of politicians would strengthen the government by enabling it to avoid political disputes and push ahead with vital reforms. Underlining how much is at stake, yields on Italy’s 10-year bonds went

Page 10

through 7% again on Wednesday, the level at which Greece and Ireland were forced into bailouts. Mr Monti said he would present his austerity programme, to the senate on Thursday. This is expected to be followed by a confidence vote in both houses of parliament. Meanwhile, the Greek coalition is due to win a confidence vote as the two countries continue to battle their debt woes. Despite the progress, there are fears that the crisis could spread to core eurozone members because of signs that France is being hit by rising borrowing costs. Asian markets struggled as a result. Japan’s Nikkei and the broader Topix index were both slightly down and the euro fell to a fiveweek low, dropping 0.6% against both the dollar and the yen. It followed new discouraging data which showed the eurozone economy barely grew in the third quarter and predicts it will be in mild recession by the end of the year. Both Italy and Greece have new governments which are working to push through painful reforms and austerity measures to slash their debts. In Greece, Prime Minister Lucas Papademos is expected to win a vote of confidence in his six-day-old government as he tries to secure vital EU funding. Lawmakers are due to give the new premier a three-month mandate to implement budget measures which will secure fresh bailouts from the other eurozone nations. Mr Papademos has to implement tax rises and spending cuts in return for the loans. Finance Minister

Evangelos Venizelos said on Tuesday: “We will help ourselves and the eurozone if we do what we have to do now, quickly, responsibly, so that Greece can always be a member of the eurozone and for the eurozone to exist, to permanently overcome the risk of a default.” The government is set to start thrashing out a deal with private bondholders on Thursday to slash public debt but the Greek people fear it could lead to years of austerity. Already angry after two turbulent years, tens of thousands of protesters are due to join an annual rally on Thursday to mark an uprising in 1973. EU governments have until a summit on December 9 to come up with a more convincing strategy to bolster the eurozone. Many analysts believe the only way to stem the contagion is for the European Central Bank to buy large amounts of bonds - in a similar way to quantitative easing - though Germany is reluctant.

ON the day the employment rate to 8.3%, British announced plans around 850 jobs.

UK’s unclimbed Gas has to cut

The company says the decision follows a review of resource levels in its services business. Management and support roles will bear the brunt of the cuts. Its statement said: “Household budgets are stretched, customers are looking for maximum value for money and if we are going to remain competitive and offer the best prices for our customers, we

need to reduce our costs. “We have therefore reviewed resource levels in our services business, and are now proposing a reduction of around 850 roles. “We will work to ensure continued high levels of service for our customers.” It is putting the decision out to consultation with staff representatives and British Gas also said it would work to support all those affected. British Gas is among the so-called ‘big six’ UK energy providers to have recently added inflation-busting rises to household bills - blaming higher wholesale prices.

Drug tunnel the joins Mexico to US uncovered POLICE have discovered a major cross-border drug tunnel running from Mexico to California and seized more than 17 tons of marijuana. The 370-metre tunnel links warehouses in an industrial park south of San Diego and in the Mexican border city of Tijuana. US federal agents made the discovery after police stopped a small cargo lorry seen leaving a warehouse near the Otay Mesa port of entry on Tuesday afternoon. A search of the building found the entrance to the tunnel in the floor. At the bottom of a 20ft shaft was a passageway measuring about 4ft by 3ft with structural supports, electricity and ventilation. Agents with the San Diego Tunnel Task Force retrieved three tons of marijuana from the lorry.

Another 6.5 tons of the drug was found in the warehouse and Mexican authorities discovered almost eight tons of marijuana on the south side. Evidence found inside the warehouse led investigators to believe the tunnel was only recently completed. Tijuana is the principal gateway for tons of drugs entering California from Mexico. Last year, authorities uncovered two large tunnels linking the city with the strip flanking the border south of San Diego. Measuring around 2,000 metres in length, they were equipped with rail systems, lighting and ventilation, and each discovery yielded multiple tons of marijuana. Mexico is in the grip of brutal drug cartel violence that has claimed more than 42,000 lives since President Felipe Calderon took office five years ago and sent in the military to crush the powerful gangs.

Youth unemployment hits the record million

The number of young people out of work has passed one million as total unemployment hit its highest level since 1996, according to Government figures.

The number of unemployed 16 to 24-year-olds went up to 1.016 million, from 991,000 the previous month, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Total unemployment increased by 129,000 between July and September to 2.62 million, a jobless rate of 8.3%. However, the number of people claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance last month increased by just 5,300 to 1.6 million, it said, the smallest rise since February. They spend two days a week at school and three in the workplace. Employment Minister Chris Grayling told Sky News the eurozone debt crisis was to blame for the soaring number of jobless. “If you go back four months unemployment was falling, youth unemployment was below 900,000. We’ve seen a big slowdown in the economy, I think as a result of the crisis elsewhere.

He said that the message from business leaders who held a breakfast meeting with Prime Minister David Cameron this morning was that they were “now moving in a very cautious way”. “They’ve not yet seen a significant impact on their performance but they are holding on, they’re not recruiting, they are taking a cautious approach because of what they are seeing elsewhere in the eurozone.” However, Paul Kenny, general secretary of the GMB union, said the Government should take some responsibility for the situation. “For all the economic problems in other parts of Europe, the number of young people out of work is far higher in the UK than in other parts of Europe and is three times higher than in Germany,” he said. “Instead of attacking pensions and employment rights and making it easier to sack people, the Government should be pursuing policies to create jobs, which is something it is failing miserably to do.” The rise in youth unemployment is the eighth successive monthly increase and the highest figure since comparable records began in 1992.

Youth Unemployment In Europe Spain - 44.3% Greece - 36% Italy - 28.6% France - 20.6% UK - 21.9% Germany - 8.1% Netherlands - 6.9% Martina Milburn, chief executive of youth charity The Prince’s Trust, said: “Today’s figures are a wake-up call for Britain. It is critical to help young people into work for the future of our economy and society. “It’s time to redouble our efforts to ensure every young person, no matter what their background, is provided with the support they need and deserve.” Average earnings increased by 2.3% in the year to September, 0.4% down on the previous month, with average pay now £463 a week. Long-term unemployment has also increased, with those out of work for more than a year rising by 31,000 to 868,000. The number of people out of work for more than two years was 422,000, up by 13,000 from the three months to June.

Absolutely not for Sir Cliff Sir Cliff Richard has attacked a new 1960s radio station for banning his hits, accusing its bosses of trying to erase him from history.

The 71-year-old claims Absolute Radio 60s is lying to the public by excluding his back catalogue from their playlist. The station launches on November 22 and describes itself as “Home of The Beatles, Stones and Motown”. It is a sister service of Absolute Radio.

DJ Pete Mitchell, from Absolute, claims Sir Cliff’s songs are not cool enough to make the cut. “His songs don’t fit the cool sound of the swinging 60s we’re trying to create on our new station,” he said. “We believe timeless acts of the decade that remain relevant today are The Beatles, The Stones, The Doors and The Who, not Sir Cliff.” But the Summer Holiday singer says he preceded The Beatles and should be recognised for his achievements, not written out of history.

“What they’re doing is they’re lying to themselves, and more importantly they’re lying to the public. “You cannot count me out. I sold more singles in the UK than The Beatles did, and more singles than any other artist on the planet in Britain. “I don’t think DJs should play only the things they like, they should play what the public like, and if you’ve got a number one it means your record is more popular than any other record in the charts, so you deserve airplay.”

Jim’ll Fix It

Christmas Special POPULAR children’s TV show Jim’ll Fix It is to be revived for a one-off Christmas special, with Shane Richie stepping into the late Jimmy Savile’s shoes as host.

The iconic show saw the flamboyant star making young viewers’ dreams come true. Sir Jimmy died earlier this month and was buried in Scarborough after lying in state in Leeds to allow fans to pay their respects to the TV legend. The former Radio 1 DJ spent Saturday evenings ‘fixing-it’ between 1975 and 1994 and was one of TV’s most popular stars as a result. The new programme will feature the original theme tune, although the BBC

Page 12

says it will have a “modern twist”. Richie, who plays Alifie Moon in EastEnders, said: “On being asked what my memories were on the iconic BBC1 series Jim’ll Fix It, the visions of stories and people came flooding back, as it was compulsive television in our house and

all my friends would talk about the fix-its. “I even wrote in, but wasn’t one of the lucky ones. I’m honoured to be part of this Christmas special and salute Sir Jimmy and fix it for a new generation.” The one-off special will last half an hour.

You’re hired Northern Rock will be sold to Virgin Money State-owned Northern Rock will be sold to Virgin Money for £747m, it has been revealed.

A statement released by HM Treasury says the Government will receive £747m upon the closing of the sale, with the potential in the future to receive more than £1bn in total. Those figures are considerably less than the estimated £1.4bn injected into the bank during its period of public ownership. But Chancellor George Osborne said the sale was “the best deal for the British taxpayer” in the current economic climate - a claim supported by many industry experts.

Page 14

The Treasury statement said Virgin Money had pledged as part of the deal to make no further compulsory redundancies, beyond those already announced, for at least three years. The total number of branches will be retained and eventually expanded following the sale, the statement added, with Newcastle to become the group’s operational base. Mr Osborne said: “It was clear to us that this was the best deal for the British taxpayer, we were getting more money back than any other deal on the table. “The sale of Northern Rock to Virgin Money is an important first step in getting the British taxpayer out of the business of owning banks.

“It represents value for money, will increase choice on the high street for customers and safeguards jobs in the North East.” Virgin Money chief executive Jayne-Anne Gadhia said the deal would create a “major new competitor” in the UK retail banking sector. She added: “The two businesses complement each other well and together they will create a strong bank with over four million customers.” The acquisition includes 75 branches and 2,100 staff, one million customers, a £14bn mortgage book and retail deposits worth £16bn. Virgin Money, which was founded in 1995, has around three million customers.

Lord Sugar’s Apprentice sidekick, Nick Hewer, is to be the new presenter of Countdown.

He will take over from Jeff Stelling and join regulars Rachel Riley and Susie Dent when the new series of the maths and words quiz begins next year. Hewer said: “I’m flattered to have been asked to present such an iconic programme and will work hard to justify sitting in the same seat as such great talents as Jeff Stelling, Des O’Connor and, of course, the great Richard Whiteley. “It’s particularly fitting that I should be doing this now as my spelling has started to slip quite badly. I used to be able to spell chrysanthemum.”

Hewer will become the fifth presenter of what is Channel 4’s longest-running show when he takes over. Stelling announced earlier this year to our very own Oasis Fm DJ Ross Browning that he was to leave after less than three years in the hot seat to concentrate on his presenting role at Sky Sports. The longest-serving host was Whiteley, who launched the show at the birth of the channel in November 1982 and continued until his sudden death in 2005. Channel 4 chief creative officer Jay Hunt said: “Nick will be a fantastically charismatic host for Countdown. “He is sharp and funny and has a real twinkle in his eye.”

Mariano E Zunino Siri Understanding the Law Email: marianozunino@canarianweekly.com

Express eviction – modification The Law of “Medidas de Agilización Procesal” arrived on the scene in November. This law modifies several laws (Criminal Proceedings Code, Administrative Proceeding Code, Civil Proceedings Code among others), it means a law containing measures to speed up the proceeding; it is applicable to different laws and specially the Civil Proceeding Law, it has modified it with new clauses. In this case the changes speed up the process in relation to non paying tenants. This law was approved due to the exponential increase of litigation cases in the last few years. Figures show that up to 2009 there was an increase of 33% over the previous ten years in these cases. In the civil jurisdiction the percentage is 50% within the same period.

EVICTION Probably you will have heard on the radio or TV that there is a new system by which a non-paying tenant can be evicted within 10 days.

This is not the case exactly, but, there is now an intention, in law terms, that the eviction process can now be speeded up to avoid further losses of the landlord. The idea is to include the eviction proceeding within the “monitory proceeding” (or in other words ex-

Page 16

tend the monitory proceeding to eviction cases). To recall what a monitory proceeding is I wrote a column in this newspaper about it: “The proceeding will start with the petition of the creditor including the details of the debtor (address, amount requested) and the documents already mentioned. The secretary of the Court will require the payment to the debtor who will be enforced to pay the debt or plea to Court by means or “opposition” to the claim”. In the particular case of eviction the secretary will ask a prompt payment (updated) informing that if not he will be evicted straightaway. The tenant can plea by “opposition”. In this case he would not be evicted and the eviction will continue through the ordinary proceeding (verbal proceeding). As you can see, although the opposition would stop the monitory proceeding it is doubtless that in many cases where the tenant has already abandoned the property without returning the keys, it would be useful. I would also like to remind you that in past columns I said that “a 2009 Law changed many aspects of the Letting Agreements Law and also the Legal Proceedings Law in eviction cases in order to try to speed up the judicial proceedings. The relevant amendments, among others, are that it will be possible to accumulate a lawsuit against the tenant and his guarantor (if any); the landlord can undertake to cancel the debt if the tenant voluntarily vacates the property; the most important one, in my opinion, in all eviction cases is that the defend-

ant will be evicted if he does not attend the trial - he will be automatically evicted (after notification of the judgement which will happen the sixth day after the hearing) and the judgement itself will fix the date for the eviction.

These modifications have been called “desahucio express” or express eviction.” The Law of “Medidas de Agilización Procesal” has modified the 2009 Law making the “desahucio express” even faster (or at least it’s trying to do so).

THESE three beautiful puppies, named Ariety, O’Hara and Suzi, are looking for loving homes after being brought into the Accion del Sol refuge a few weeks ago in a poor state. As you can see, they are now a picture of health and raring to go! .

Jack the Lad keeps Accion staff and dogs on their toes MR JACK, who belongs to Accion del Sol director Marion, thinks he’s the refuge supervisor and is always bossing everyone around.

But together with Panchito, the Farabella pony, and an armful of puppies, he has formed a committee to make preparations for the start of Accion’s Educational Roadshow, which begins in the last week in November. Along with refuge staff, they will be visiting various schools in Arona, Arico and Granadilla, spreading the good word on animal welfare. Education is so important at an early age with the children and once the Christmas festivities are over, plans are in hand to start a Puppies and Ponies club once a month at the

them at the other end. So, if you are travelling to Germany and would like to help give a dog a new start in life, please call 922 778 630 for more details. If you really want to help the dogs’ plight here in Tenerife, then please adopt a pet from a refuge. Also, do call 112 if you find a stray or abandoned dog on the streets. The refuge is situated at Poligono de Industrial Estate, Granadilla, Exit 51 on the TF1, directly next to ITER, by the windmills. It is open Monday-Friday from 3-6pm, so pop in for a visit. The refuge has seen a large increase in dogs over the last few months, so if you are looking for a dog to adopt then please pay a visit or call Accion del Sol on 922 778 630.

Your formal invite to get that posh gear out again! HERE’S an early chance for couples to get in the festive mood, and put those posh frocks on - and dicky bow-ties, of course.

A charity dinner-dance to raise much needed funds for the St Francisco Brothers of the White Cross at Las Chafiras takes place at Amarilla Golf’s Club House on Friday, 9th December. These dedicated Brothers take care of 30 live-in, mentally-handicapped adults, and also run a daycentre for those similarly affected, with little funding from the Tenerife Cabildo Government - or anywhere else. This “formal dress” affair is guar-

Page 18

Accion del Sol centre. It is designed to be fun, but educational, for kids of all ages and will include teaching the children basic animal care, and lots of activities, like playing with the puppies, pony riding, learning agility on the purpose-built refuge course and much more. There are lots of gorgeous dogs at the refuge who would love a walk if you have some spare time on your hands and would like to make them even happier, as well as getting them fitter. Accion staff are also looking for people to escort dogs to Germany. They will be met at the airport with all the relevant paperwork, and representatives from Aktiontier, who sponsor the Granadilla refuge, will meet

anteed to be a huge success because the 45-euro tickets (including a 15-euro donation to the charity) are selling rapidly. They cover the cost of a welcome drink, followed by a gala buffet, plus quality entertainment and a tombola. Noelle Corridan, the popular Irish lady who owns the Designer Outfit shop for second-hand and new clothes at Las Chafiras, has much sympathy for the St Francisco Brothers. “They do such a wonderful job but they get so little help from the authorities,” she said. “I know the Mercadona offers some support, foodwise, and golf club members on Golf

del Sur always have them in mind whenever they have fund-raising events. “The Cabildo does help a little bit, but, in the main, the Brothers rely mainly on donations and I feel, especially with Christmas coming up, that we ought to give them our support. She has already received lots of backing from her Irish friends, who have pledged their support. The evening starts at 7pm and tickets, plus more information, can be obtained by calling Noelle Corridan on 669 787 468. She also hopes to have the tickets on sale after the 10am Mass this Sunday at San Blas Catholic Church.

hero to battle the merciless dictator and his marauders. He may be red. He may be horned. He may be misunderstood. But when you need the job done right, it's time to call in Hellboy (Ron Perlman). Along with his expanding team in the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Development--pyrokinetic girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair),

aquatic empath Abe (Doug Jones) and protoplasmic mystic Johann--the BPRD will travel between the surface strata and the unseen magical one, where creatures of fantasy become corporeal. And Hellboy, a creature of two worlds who's accepted by neither, must choose between the life he knows and an unknown destiny that beckons him.

WELL, the Missus is back in Blighty and I’m in the midst of living at work, and when you’re tired, you pick up on things sometimes that would otherwise pass you by. I remember fondly the heady days of just being an entertainer, when the biggest worry was the gig and not the tax, wages etc. But we all have to progress, and now I find myself running a bar with all the trials and tribulations that come with it. To be honest, I don’t really know how it happened. One day I was there, and now I’m here. If I concentrate enough I can remember, but I wouldn’t change anything. Back to picking up on things. I was behind the bar the other night when I heard a customer remark on the cost of his round, saying: “It’s cheaper over the road,” to which I chirped up, not nastily: “Why aren’t you over there then?” He replied: “They’ve got nothing on, just the telly.” An hour later, a different gentleman offered the time-honoured statement upon handing over his cash: “But I’m a resident!” in an effort to obtain his vittles at a reduced rate. Fair enough I thought, so I laid out a plan of action on how I can afford to slash prices and still put food on the table, I came up with this idea. Firstly, I approached the staff and asked if I could pay them a lot less and cancel their contracts so I wouldn’t have to pay tax and social. This met with some tears and screaming, I admit, and one actually fainted so that was out. Next, I spoke to the entertainers who work the bar, relating how the performing was more relevant than the fee, and

Page 24

that proper artistes do it for the love of the business. One actually tried to punch me, so another no. So I thought I’d have a go at the suppliers and services - electricity, water, rates, rubbish, drinks suppliers and food purveyors, etc. As they were coming in for their money, I said: “But I’m a resident.” One delivery man couldn’t stop laughing for an hour, and two refused to bring the stock in from the van. I did email Unelco with a suggestion that I pay them less as I needed the money for my Granny’s operation, but apparently they’d heard that one before. I’m still waiting to get the power back on. The Tax Office weren’t happy to budge on the bill, either, I never knew the police could hold you for three days without charge, but you learn something new all the time. I have managed to implement some austerity measures, though. The family are down to one meal a day - and I haven’t showered for a week! If we can keep this up for another month, there will be 10 cents off lager by January although, at the time of writing I’m starting to feel faint. Anyway, there are nice people on the Rock at the moment, my type of audience - a little more mature, which is handy for me as I haven’t learned a new song since 1987, or a joke for that matter. I find people like the old jokes because they know when to laugh. I was thinking, where else can you go at this time of year for reasonable cost, nice weather and although the pound is still fighting against the euro, good value for money for food and drink? It’s what brought me here in the first place,

I’d tried Greece once but didn’t like it because where I went was over-run by cats, (I like them by the way). I recall sitting in a café and saying to the Missus: “That cat’s only got one eye.” She said “No, it’s walking in backwards.” I also find the Greeks make a drachma out of a crisis. My brother likes Turkey, although he complains that he’s been there four times and not once seen Bernard Matthews. Entertainers here have found that earning a crust more difficult as the circuit is nothing like it was years ago. If you speak to any of the long-term performers, they can relate tales of a mystical world of work where you had two gigs a night, sometimes three, good money, and the term “cancellation” was a seldom heard swear-word. Not so these days because every day seems to be a “changover”. Lots of main cabaret bars no longer exist, or are something else, and apart from a few established venues, the business is a lottery. What’s the alternative? Many acts have gone back to the UK, and if you can go by Facebook, the general consensus is that “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done”, although I’m not sure it’s the case. Where can you work midweek in the UK? Weekends, yes. For an act here to do a 45-minute spot and come away with 7080 euros, the equivalent over there would translate more often than not to a road journey, car full of gear, petrol, agents’ fees and two 45s and a tab (encore) possibly, in a pub with a drunk shouting for Wonderwall when you’re a Manilow Tribute? Things aren’t so bad, though. You could get a proper job, or a bar … DOH!

THE ROYLE FAMILY PORTRAITS 10:20 pm - 12:20 am - Dave We’ve had the serous part, and now it’s time to just have a big televisual party. We’re celebrating the brilliance of The Royle Family, and what better way to do it than sneak behind the Royle’s sofa, uncovering unseen material and reve-

lations about how the sitcom and characters were conceived? Not only will the cast and celebrity fans – like Catherine Tate, Paul Whitehouse, Jimmy McGovern and John Prescott – pick their favourite Royle moments, but creators, writ-

ers and stars of the show Caroline Aherne and Craig Cash will also pick their all time, top ten personal highlights and talk us through what each moment meant to them. Standby for more classic clips than you can shake a massive sofa at.

Phil Daniels excels as the alienated antihero Jimmy Cooper.

10:40 pm - 1:05 am - ITV 1 Against the backdrop of riots in 60s Brighton, Quadrophenia perfectly captures the teenage need to belong, and identify, with your peers. In 1964 London, Jimmy Cooper divides his time between hanging out with Mod friends and slaving in the post-room of an advertising firm. He doesn't work because he wants to or through a desire to further a career. No, all Jimmy wants is to have enough cash in his pocket to keep his scooter running and bespoke suits trim, leaving a

little for "blues". There's nothing that Jimmy likes more than motoring with his pals Dave, Chalky and Spider. What better way could there be to exasperate his parents and chat up birds like Steph and Monkey? Come Saturday, Jimmy's down the sauna getting scrubbeddown for a weekend of mayhem. Unfortunately someone in the next cubicle is singing, off-key, the sort of tunes that really bug Jimmy. When he doesn't stop, in fact becoming louder, Jimmy sticks his head over the partition, looking for

trouble, only to find Kevin, an old school-friend. Warmed with memories of some good times, Jimmy meets Kevin in a nearby cafe (for a sit-down breakfast). Unfortunately it's only then that Jimmy realises that Kevin is a Rocker, the sworn mortal enemies of Mods, forcing him to make an excuse and leave. The episode is soon forgotten though, for Jimmy is looking to have some success with women that evening. He's had his eye on the lithe Steph for a while, even though she's currently hitched up to Pete.

BRITAIN'S GREATEST CODEBREAKER 9:00 - 10:20 pm - Channel 4 This drama documentary records the brilliance - and the destruction - of one of the 20th century's greatest minds. Alan Turing is the genius British mathematician who was instrumental in breaking the German Naval Enigma Code during World War II, arguably saving millions of lives. He was also the visionary scientist who gave birth to the computer age, pioneered artificial intelligence, and was the first to investigate the math-

Page 28

ematical underpinnings of the living world. Turing is one of the great original thinkers of the 20th century, who foresaw the digital world in which we now live. In the eyes of many scientists today Turing sits alongside Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Charles Darwin at the table of scientific greats. Turing's achievements went unrecognised during his lifetime. Instead he ended up being treated as a common criminal, for being homosexual at a

time when homosexual acts were a crime. In 1952, he was convicted of 'gross indecency' with another man and was forced to undergo so-called 'organo-therapy' or chemical castration. Two years later, he killed himself with cyanide, aged just 41. Alan Turing was driven to a terrible despair and early death by the nation he'd done so much to save. In the last 18 months of his short life, Turing visited a psychiatrist, Dr Franz Greenbaum, who tried to help him.

THE ADVENTURER'S GUIDE TO BRITAIN 7:30 - 8.00 pm - ITV 1 In a new series, actionman Gethin Jones and naturalist Charlotte Uhlenbroek uncover a side of the British outdoors that only the adventurous will ever see. Over six weeks Gethin and Charlotte will explore different areas of Britain. In each episode their mission will be to seek out, to discover and experience the most inaccessible, unexplored and unknown sights, sounds and heritage of the UK and to capture their splendour on camera. In the first episode of the series Gethin and Charlotte journey above and below Britain's oldest national park, The Peak District, better to understand the forces that have shaped its amazing landscape. On day one of their two-day adventure in the district described as nature's adventure playground, Gethin takes to the skies in a microlight, soaring over the radically different landscapes at 2,000 ft, witnessing the staggering effect the ages have had on its dramatic terrain.

“If you’re flying away for a holiday or something and you’re in a commercial plane you’ve really only got a view to your right or to your left, out here its 360 degrees and on a day like today it’s just breathtaking, absolutely magnificent,” enthuses Gethin. Meanwhile, Charlotte sets off in the opposite direction – 300 ft underground! Guided by experienced caver, Nigel Atkins, a nervous but excited Charlotte begins her descent into Giant's Hole, part of Derbyshire's longest cave system. “I’m not really sure I want to go in there, it seems a bit unnatural to disappear into a black hole in the ground – still I suppose there’s a bit of excitement about heading off into the unknown,” says Charlotte. Relatively unexplored and hidden away under fields, Giant's Hole leads to a honeycomb of tunnels and cathedral-like caverns dug out of limestone by the waters of the Ice Age. During Gethin's microlight flight he spotted a great place for an extreme bike ride so having explored from above and below he and Char-

lotte meet at ground level on day two and set off to find out how steep a peak in The Peak District can be. The first is Winnats Pass. Considered to be one of the top 10 toughest cycle paths in the country, the pass was once a huge cave which collapsed leaving a vast canyon. The steep half-mile stretch takes about half an hour but each push of the pedal is brutal. “From the air you can appreciate the scale but not the height of it or how the road rises rapidly to a 1 in 3 gradient. Driving up is easy enough but this is the way to find out what 1 in 3 really means,” says Gethin. Their second bike ride is on one of the most bizarre cycle routes in Britain along a ruined road at the bottom of Mam Tor, a steep local peak. The road was built in 1819 to bypass Winnats Pass but a landslide in 1979 destroyed half of the road. The only way down is by bike and even that is a challenge as they soon find out when their ride is cut short when they simply run out of road.

GREMLINS

10:35 pm - 12:35 am - ITV 1 Minature green monsters tear through the small town of Kingston Falls. Hi-jinks ensue as a mildmannered bank teller releases these hideous loonies after gaining a new pet and violating two of three simple rules: No water (violated), no food after midnight (violated), and no bright light.

Hilarious mayhem and destruction in a town straight out of Norman Rockwell. So, when your washing machine blows up or your TV goes on the fritz, before you call the repair man, turn on all the lights and look under all the beds. Cause you never can tell, there just might be a gremlin in your house.

ONE DIRECTION: A year in the Making

9:00 - 10:00 pm - Sky 1 The Café is set in and around a café in WestonSuper-Mare run by generational trilogy Mary (June Watson), Carol (Ellie Haddington) and Sarah (Michelle Terry). Acting as the social hub of the seafront town, the café sees all walks of life pass through and gives viewers an "honest portrayal of life in a typical British seaside resort". Sarah is in her late twenties and has recently returned

home from London as she attempts to pursue a writing career. Many of her old school adversaries still live in the area and are frequent visitors to the café. Richard (Ralf Little), Sarah's former childhood sweetheart is a care home assistant by day and a musician by night whose feathers are ruffled when fellow classmate and former love rival, John (Daniel Ings), now a successful events manager in London, returns to Weston

9:00 - 10:00 pm - ITV 2 to visit his elderly mother. Chloe (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) is Sarah's oldest friend who works in the local hairdresser and always looks on the bright side of life. Her father, Stan (David Troughton) is a frequent visitor to the café due in the most part to his fondness for Carol. Carol, however, has more pressing matters on her mind as Brenda Keily (Seeta Indrani), a local successful entrepreneur, threatens to take her family business away.

This year has been a remarkable 12 months for One Direction. They could never have imagined that in such a short space of time since appearing on the X Factor, they would be propelled from unknown school boys to household names. "One Year - One Direction" is their story so far. With remarkable access, we follow Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall

and Zayn across the UK witnessing the hysteria as they launch their debut single in a helicopter, travel with them as they jet across Europe to see the huge impact they are having abroad, and return home with them to reflect on their new lives. This funny, exciting, and at times moving and poignant film, shows how five teenagers cope when their world changes around them.

LIVING WITH THE AMISH 9:00 - 10:00pm - Channel 4 For the first time, the notoriously private Amish community opens its doors to a group of British teenagers in a new sixpart series. The access granted by six different Amish orders will be the most television viewers have ever seen of the Amish way of life. Living with the Amish follows six British teenagers leaving their mobile phones, Facebook accounts and partying behind, as they head to Ohio and Pennsylvania to see what they can learn

from six weeks of hard work and simple living. No Amish community has ever opened up in this way before, and the Amish families who are taking part in the series hope that it will reveal the advantages of a pure, uncluttered way of life. Charlotte, 18, loves clothes and shopping, and never leaves the house without her make-up on. At home, she's not expected to help with household chores and enjoys her mum bringing her cups of tea 'on tap'. But

Charlotte thinks there's more to life than what you wear and wants to see if the Amish experience will help her gain confidence and independence. Also headed for the US are Eton College student George, 17, who wants to see what life is like in an insular community, largely hidden from the outside world; and Cambridge University undergraduate Siana, 19, who lives with her single mother, younger brother and sister on a London council estate.

Cost of living in UK rises The rise in the cost of living eased slightly last month but pressure remains from soaring increases to energy bills.

The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) fell from an annual rate of 5.2% in September to 5% in October, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics. It said the biggest downward pressure on the measure was from food, air transport and petrol costs while higher gas and electricity bills combined with increased clothing prices to keep the rate up. Heavy discounting by the UK's biggest supermarkets, which have been engaged in an aggressive price war, saw the biggest fall in food prices for a September to October period since 1996, the ONS said. Vegetable prices fell 2.4%, fruit eased 1.6%, milk, cheese and eggs dropped 1.2% and meat edged down 0.7%. Tesco triggered the price war

with its rivals when it launched its £500m Big Price Drop campaign. Competitors soon responded with their own schemes, including Sainsbury's Brand Match campaign, while Asda slashed prices at the petrol pumps. But another utility tariff increase from big six supplier npower continued to pile pressure on consumers, who are struggling to cope with average wage growth far below the rate of inflation. The headline rate of Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation,

which includes housing costs, fell to 5.4% in October from 5.6% in September. The CPI figure - which remains at more than double the Bank of England's 2% target - triggers an eighth successive explanation letter to the Chancellor from Bank governor Sir Mervyn King. He was formally knighted by the Queen on Tuesday ahead of the Bank's quarterly inflation report due on Thursday, which is expected to suggest that inflation will fall back to target by the end of 2012.

UK Shops get rights wrong Many staff from big- UK name electrical stores aren't giving consumers the correct information about their rights when asked about faulty goods, according to the latest information from Which?.

Some shop assistants even categorically denied that the shoppers had any rights at all when the consumer cham-

pion's researchers asked for advice about a faulty fridge. Which? sent undercover researchers to Argos, Comet, Currys, John Lewis and a number of independent stores across England. Of the 60 shops visited, 44 gave advice that was rated as 'very poor' or 'poor'. Only nine visits were rated as good or excellent. Richard Lloyd, executive director, Which?, says: "We've uncovered some appalling

ignorance by staff which could deny consumers their basic rights when returning faulty goods. When people's budgets are tight the last thing they need is to be given the wrong advice that could prove costly. If you're not sure about your rights, visit which.co.uk or download our free consumer rights app to help you make sure you get what you're entitled to." Source www.which.co.uk

UK banks offer risky investments`advice Due to the current economic crisis, investment products for savers appear not to be at their best, as a result.

Many savers are shopping around for better rates. However, high street banks and building societies are giving poor advice and recommending inappropriate investment products, according to Which? In an undercover investigation, Which? researchers found that only five out of 37 advisers in banks and building societies gave good advice about investments. The majority of advisers showed a poor understanding of the risks of investing, and made misleading statements about the features and costs of available products. Many of the advisers recommended products that were inappropriate for the researchers, who were all aged over 60 and inexperienced investors. For instance, 17 recommended complicated and high charging investment bonds, with four of the advisers failing to mention that these came with hefty exit fees – some-

Page 38

times as high as 12% – if you want to get your money out in the first five years. Even worse, 18 of the advisers claimed that there was no cost for their advice. Banks and building societies make money through commission paid for the products that they recommend, but only a handful of advisers that were tested were upfront about it. In the worst case, one of the researchers was told by a Yorkshire Bank adviser to invest £50,000 in a bond netting more than £4,400 in commission, this was not disclosed. Almost half of the advisers failed to mention the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, and others made rudimentary mistakes about how much protection consumers receive. One Santander adviser incorrectly told them that its investments were covered up to £85,000 instead of £50,000. A NatWest adviser even told a researcher: ‘let’s face it, the major banks aren’t going to go under,’ handing her a leaflet about compensation but saying ‘you don’t have to read this’. By contrast, Which? tested six independ-

ent financial advisers and four gave good advice to the researchers. Richard Lloyd, Which? executive director says: “Now, more than ever, consumers need advice they can trust on what to do with their money. It’s shocking to see such low standards. It’s also disappointing to see that things haven’t improved in the past year, despite two high street banks being fined for advice failings and poor complaints handling. “We are reporting our findings to the Financial Services Authority and urging the regulator to investigate and punish the worst offenders. We want the FSA’s Retail Distribution Review to force banks and building societies to be more upfront about the cost of their advice. We will also be talking to the banks and building societies about improving their standards. “Our investigation shows that the high street isn’t the best place to go for investment advice. If in doubt, consumers should always talk to an independent financial adviser.”

ONE of the leading textile companies in Spain, Textura Interiors, has opened its first store in Tenerife - a two-story building in Santa Cruz. Inside is a paradise for home-makers, with the new autumn-winter collection from Textura, including quilts, plaids, duvets and pillows, among other textiles. The store has an area dedicated exclusively to children with the Textura Baby & Kids line. The company has also introduced a made-to-measure service, and customers can choose from the latest trends in shades of linen, cotton and other materials for living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms. It is Textura’s second

store in the Canary Islands following the one in Gran Canaria, and it now has 90 stores nationwide and two in Bulgaria. Textura was founded in 1979 with the opening of its first store in Barce-

lona, specialising in home textiles. It proved so successful that the owners opened new stores throughout Spain, and they are continuing to expand wherever they find an opening.

Christmas snippet Research from a survey by the UK’s Good Food Magazine shows that Brits are cutting the amount of money they spend this Christmas on presents for friends and family. However, they are planning more homemade gifts than ever.

Good Food Magazine reportedly found that 31% of those surveyed are planning to cut present spending for 2011, with just 11% planning to increase spending. The big increase is in homemade gifts

- 33% are planning to make and give homemade presents, an increase of 8% compared to 2010.

RHS Britain in Bloom

A report issued this week by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), has found that the lives and livelihoods of individuals up and down the country have been radically transformed, thanks to the community gardening campaign RHS Britain in Bloom, supported by Anglian Home Improvements.

The report, entitled Britain in Bloom: transforming local communities, looks at how participating in Britain in Bloom has turned around the fortunes of places such as Nottingham, Brightlingsea and Manchester. Based on the results of 231 community gardening groups which responded to an RHS survey, and an in-depth look at 11 neighbourhoods, towns and cities across the UK, the report identifies four impacts of the campaign: the transformational, economic, social and environmental. Sue Biggs, Director General of the RHS, said, ‘The report proves that gardening is not only a great social leveller but also the cohesive glue that binds and builds neighbourhoods, reducing crime, transforming lives and enabling commerce to prosper. For the millions of volunteers through Britain in Bloom who annually green up and clean up where they live, and have lots of fun while they’re at it, this research highlights the incredibly positive impact they have on their communities and how important the national campaign is to the neighbourhoods that take part.’

Transformational Impact - 50% of Bloom groups listed transformation of disused space as a benefit of participation, citing that this space was previously an eyesore and a hub for anti-social behaviour which often created a fear of crime among residents - Groups listed a reduction in crime, an increase in community spirit, feel for a place and sense of pride as benefits of participating in Britain in Bloom

Environmental Impact - Bloom groups look after an average of 15 acres of green space each - Nearly 70% of groups undertake litter picks, 33% care for street furniture and 25% remove graffiti - An estimated 115,000 trees, 352,000 shrubs and 21.6 million plants and bulbs are planted by Bloom groups annually

Social Impact - 90% of Bloom groups stated the main benefit of participating in the campaign was the ‘creation and development’ of communities - More than 50% of Bloom groups saw a reduction in crime and antisocial behaviour since participating in Britain in Bloom - Many groups grow fruit and vegetables, accompanied by cooking classes, meaning that more residents have access to healthy food and exercise in the form of gardening all year round Economic Impact - On average survey respondents (both Bloom and IYN groups) fundraised £6,044 each to carry out their work, and saved local authorities around £6 million a year. - One local authority estimated that from an investment of £67,000 towards their community’s Britain in Bloom campaign they got back as much as £2.6 million from the work undertaken by volunteers. The £2.6 million is calculated due to the work achieved, transformation to the community and the hours of work volunteers gave. - Businesses reported seeing the direct impact of Britain in Bloom on their profits, thanks to cleaner streets and less graffiti, which attracts more customers - Upwards of 4.4 million volunteer hours are given each year through Britain in Bloom to improve local surroundings. This is the equivalent of £155 million worth of labour at the National Minimum Wage

Each year over two thousand communities take part in Britain in Bloom. Using gardening as a tool, the campaign brings individuals together to form community action groups that make the places where they live cleaner, greener, brighter and better. Participating groups are assessed either regionally or nationally and awarded certificates of merit or medals accordingly. Each group is encouraged to demonstrate horticultural achievement, community participation and environmental responsibility through the projects they undertake. Most Britain in Bloom groups are run by volunteers, working in partnership with local councils. For more information visit www.rhs.org.uk/communities.

Schoolkids are flocking to plant Canarian trees THE municipality of Arona, in collaboration with the Lions Club, has organised a series of activities over the next week to celebrate Canarian Tree Week.

The event, put on by Arona’s Department of Environment, headed by Antonio Sosa, coincides with the commemoration of the International Year of the Forest. This focuses on “promoting

environmental awareness in the friendly environment that surrounds us”. A total of 200 primary schoolkids, from schools in Parque de la Reina, Las Galletas and Cabo Blanco, will take part in the replanting of various species of Canarian flora in certain areas. Sosa said: “It is to awaken interest in nature among the youngest, who can learn and appreciate our natural and cultural heritage. As well as replanting, students will receive facts about the care

18 November - 24 November 2011

and respect for our diverse surroundings.” He added that information leaflets would be distributed in all schools, kindergarten and primary institutes in Arona, “as a basis for conducting activities with students during the week”. The registration period for participating in the hiking trail, organised by the Department of the Environment for 26th November is now open. The trail starts near El Caserío de Casas Altas, between Arona and Adeje, and

ends in Valle San Lorenzo with a tree replanting of our own Island species. Sosa said: “It will take place in an area with a rich, natural and important heritage.” The trail should take around three hours over a gentle course which will not prove stressful to the walkers. There are limited places, and those are interested in taking part have until Wednesday (23rd Nov) to register at the Citizen’s Advice Centres in Arona, Las Galletas or Los Cristianos.

Garden jobs Clear faded growth of annual climbers from pergolas and trellis Plant bare-root roses in well-prepared soil Transplant shrubs and conifers that have outgrown their position Cut down chrysanthemums to soil level after flowering Make leaf mould from fallen leaves Plant drifts of lily-of-the-valley in shaded beds Finish planting bulbs outside Improve soil by incorporating compost Deadhead pansies to prevent them setting seed Check fruits in store for signs of rot or deterioration Plant new fruit bushes and cane fruits Take hardwood cuttings from healthy fruit bushes, including currants and gooseberries Winter prune fruit trees, including apples Cover broad beans and peas if in a cold area Lift and divide large clumps of rhubarb Cut down Jerusalem artichokes then dig up and store tubers in buckets of dry compost Prune sideshoots on gooseberries back to about 5cm Pile earth up around the stems of Brussels sprouts to provide extra support

Dear Christine

carl pattison

Your resident Agony Aunt

from Robot, answers your hair questions

The truth really hurts WE live in a world of celebrity, and five minutes of fame is all some people want!

We get bombarded with pictures, mostly photo-shopped to death and touched-up so much that the image becomes unreal - almost alien-like. We strive to resemble the stars and their way of life, but what is this all about, because us ordinary people can work only with what we have been given - our bodies, our looks and our hair? You can take any girl these days and make her beautiful. All you need is a clothes stylist, a make-up artist and a hair stylist. But under normal circumstances, you have only yourself to perform these tasks: what to wear and how to do your make-up. What about when it comes to your hair, though? You know, that stuff that grows out of your head which we, as stylists, perform miracles with? Hair can literally TRANSFORM a person more so than clothing or make-up. Who’s going to notice that new Gucci bag or that D&G perfume if your hair looks like something the dog would lie on? Your hair matters. You can touch up your own nails and shave your own legs, but no one does your hair like a true stylist. You need to think of your hair as the final touch to your image because without that special touch, you’re going to let yourself down. So many times, I see women dressed to the nines, yet their hair seems to have been forgotten about. Yet your hair should speak volumes about you without even try-

ing, It should complement your work clothes as well as your party mood, and it’s not just something that should be overlooked, as I have seen plenty of times, Hair that’s not even been brushed, washed, cut regularly, or colour kept up, with is a regular sight for me. Or maybe it’s me who’s wrong and maybe some of you don’t care, or can’t get the right stylist to create what you’ve been looking for? Maybe that’s why some of you give up! I was told recently by a new client: “I never get what I want in the salon because stylists don’t listen, so I don’t bother any more.” How sad that someone who wants to look good and

take care of her image feels that some stylists aren’t prepared to listen and give out true and honest advice. Maybe they are in the wrong profession? Who knows? But I for one (maybe because I’m from Yorkshire) just want give honest advice to clients who want an honest opinion, even though sometimes the truth hurts (“Yes madam, your hair makes you look like you’ve just got off a moped”). Who wants to be told, “Ooh, you look fabulous”, when really they’re thinking, “Jees, she looks awful”? It gets us nowhere, so be honest to yourself next time you’re looking in the mirror.

Dear Christine, A week ago I asked a guy to sit in the shade with me near the beach. Then we went on to the beach together to sunbathe and swim. After agreeing to keep things light and friendly, we spent the next day together swimming, snorkelling and having a great time. We talked a lot and got on like a house on fire. The day after that we lay on my balcony and he told me he had a girlfriend. He paid me lots of compliments and said that if he were not already involved, he would definitely want to be with me. His girlfriend is in Madrid for a few weeks, but he says they’re having problems. They can’t even communicate properly as she’s Spanish. I’ve been so tempted to take things further, but I haven’t out of respect for his girlfriend. I should probably give him up, but I am so attracted to him. Please help, Jaz

Well, you certainly know how to make things complicated for yourself! Spending time with a guy before you even know if he’s available is asking for trouble, as is agreeing to be “just friends”. Anyway, what was he thinking of, agreeing to spend time with you when he’s in a relationship? He should have put you in the picture straight away. What you do now is your choice entirely. Just remember that jumping into bed with him would make things far more complicated. You really should walk away and get on with your life. If ever he’s available to you, he knows where you live.

Dear Christine, I have been with my boyfriend for almost three years. Recently, I looked at his mobile phone and saw explicit picture messages he had sent to a girl at his office. Before this, things weren’t going great between us. We both have good jobs and work very hard, but I was unhappy with my job (still am), so I wasn’t showing him much affection. Apparently, this girl at work was going through similar problems with her boyfriend. They got talking in work, started flirting and were messaging each other for about two weeks. When I found the messages, I was heartbroken and shaking with anger. He insists that nothing else went on, though. I am now living with a friend and it’s made me realise how much I love my boyfriend. He says he’s desperately sorry, so I’ve decided to give him one last chance. It hurts too much being apart from him. He’s assured me I know the truth now and there are no more secrets. He said he will never do it again and I believe him. We’re looking for an apartment together and have agreed to start trying for a baby right away. My friends all think I’m mad to want a baby, but I really feel it’s the right time. What do you think? Rachel

How on earth does giving this guy one last chance fit in with you having a baby together? I have a feeling you see the baby as a good way of getting out of a job you dislike - but that’s ridiculous. A child is a massive 18-year commitment

(at the very least) who ideally needs the love and support of two parents. It seems to me that your job was at the bottom of your discontent, so why not look for a position you’ll enjoy, even if it’s less well paid? I strongly advise that you wait at least 12 months to see how the relationship goes before you even think of trying for a baby. After all, he’s just been very disloyal to you. In that time you should try to have fun together, and talk a lot, too. You need to feel that you could trust your boyfriend with your life as well as your happiness, before you take things any further. Before you even move in with him, ask yourself do you have the same ideas about honesty, respect, responsibility, money, sex, male/female roles, friendship, the work ethic, parenting, etc. Your boyfriend chose to turn to another girl when there were problems between you, so you need to work out whether you really are right for each other. Having a baby means being sleep-deprived, emotional, rushed off your feet and having no time for sex. This state of affairs puts any relationship under strain, so how will yours fare? Surely, you need to feel assured that your boyfriend won’t turn elsewhere before embarking on such a taxing venture.

No smoking in cars Doctors in the UK have called for a ban on smoking in cars, claiming it exposes people to 23 times more toxins than used to be found in pubs.

The British Medical Association paper claims children are at the highest risk from second-hand smoke because they absorb more pollutants. The document also said the elderly were vulnerable to respiratory problems caused by passive smoking. Dr Vivienne Nathanson, the BMA's director of professional

Page 40

activities, said smoking causes over 80,000 deaths every year in England. "The UK made a huge step forward in the fight against tobacco by banning smoking in all enclosed public places, but more can still be done," she said. "We are calling on UK governments to take the bold and courageous step of banning smoking in private vehicles. "The evidence for extending the smoke-free legislation is compelling." Earlier this week Northern

Ireland Health Minister said he was considering a ban on smoking in cars. And a private member's bill calling for a ban is expected to be debated in Parliament. But Simon Clarke, director of smokers' rights group Forest, said: "Cars are a private space. Will it be a ban on smoking at home next? "Very few parents smoke when children are in the car. Legislation to ban it is heavyhanded and - with everything else going on in the world - an abuse of Parliamentary time."

Hair removal - permanently! ELECTROLYSIS was discovered over 100 years ago by American doctor Charles E Michel. Since then, millions of men and women have benefited from this form of treatment.

Probe electrolysis is the only effective way of permanent hair removal, and is recognised worldwide. Unwanted hair growth is a fairly common problem, especially with today’s society being in-

fluenced by the attitude that a lady should be “fuzz free”. There are many reasons for superfluous hair (extra hair in unwanted places), and the usual culprits are: *Some forms of medication *Hormonal changes such as puberty, pregnancy and menopause *Genetic, racial and hereditary causes *Excess sunburn Stress can also be a contributing factor as any highly-stressful situation may trigger the adrenal

glands. These cause a hormonal reaction, which can cause fine soft body hair to develop more coarsely and darker on a permanent basis. How electrolysis works The electrolysist inserts a very fine probe alongside the hair in the hair follicle. A very slight amount of electrical current is then applied through the probe, which destroys the cells that produce the hair.

The skin is not punctured or harmed in any way and, for most people, the entire process causes little discomfort (many find tweezing and waxing more painful). Electrolysis treatment programmes are tailored to suit the individual’s needs. Some factors determine the number and length of treatments required, such as the number of hairs to be treated, the sensitivity of the skin, the particular area to be treated,

clients’ work/social commitments and other previous methods of hair removal. After the initial full consultation, the electrolysist should provide a schedule of recommended treatments, days, times etc. The closer this is followed, the more effective the treatment. Other methods of hair removal These provide only temporary relief to the problem

of unwanted hair and, sometimes, can even make the condition worse. Waxing and plucking/ tweezing in certain areas strengthen the hair root, resulting in darker and thicker re-growth and, in some cases causing in-grown hairs. The cost of a lifetime’s pursuit of temporary hair removal, such as waxing, creams, razors, can sometimes be more expensive than eletrolysis.

There’s no galloping into the Galapagos Islands any more!

THE number of cruise passengers visiting the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador - including one called Santa Cruz, by coincidence - will soon be limited, following new rules by the authorities there.

Tour operators have until 1st February to incorporate into their travel programmes the National Park Authority’s new regulations, designed to protect the local animal and plant life. Cruise passengers will be allowed to stay for a maximum of four nights and five days per ship, with a frequency of four landings within any 14-day period. The archipelago’s 150,000 annual visitors have been concentrated mainly on the three islands of Isabela, Santa Cruz and San Cristobal for the past 14 years. The Ecuador Tourism Ministry said: “The visitor redistribution which will be achieved by the opening up other islands, and altering route frequencies. “This will reduce fuel consumption, and the overall amount of pollution emitted by the

yachts, boats and ships working the islands.” The ports on Santa Fe and Tagus Cove will become accessible under the new regulations, and the islands of Española, Genovesa and Fernandina will also allow the arrival of smaller boats. It will enable visitors to see rare species, like the red-footed booby, the albatross and the flightless cormorant. The new regulations and the protection of nature go hand in hand with the concept of ‘conscious tourism’, which is an idea developed by Ecuador. The concept, says the Ministry, includes previous strategies such as sustainable and ethical tourism, and adds to them the personal experience of “friendship, respect, and the love that leads to inner growth. “With ‘conscious tourism’, Ecuador is asking every visitor to experience the country in keeping with its nature and its people. “Thus, it will underscore the positive aspects of the relationship between host and tourist, and improve the lives of Ecuadorians through tourism experiences with their own cultural and natural heritage.”

Easy profit amid higher fuel costs

EASYJET profits have soared despite fuel costs rising by £100m and continued economic uncertainty over the year.

The airline reported pre-tax profits for the 12 months to September 30 of £248m - an increase of nearly a third on the previous year, if the effect of the volcanic ash cloud in April 2010 and aircraft disposal costs are excluded. But the budget carrier, which flies more than 580 routes primarily in Europe, saw its fuel bill rise by £100m during the year to £970m. Rising fuel prices have been cited as the biggest challenge for the industry, with rival airline IAG - which owns BA and Iberia and recently took over BMI - spending £1.2bn in the third quarter alone. EasyJet’s chief executive Carolyn McCall said she expects next year’s fuel cost to be £220m higher and that “the biggest cost apart from fuel is airports”. Total revenue for the year approached £3.5bn, an average of £55.27 per seat flown. The airline said its strong performance was due in part to “firm” cost controls, with per-seat costs decreasing

Liquid smugglers A recent survey by Skyscanner has revealed that 28% of travellers have ‘smuggled’ contraband liquids past airport security either accidentally, or in full knowledge that they are breaking the rules. slightly over the period, as well as a growing focus on customers. Its on-time performance rose to 79%, further helping its passenger satisfaction levels. The airline’s punctuality record had at one time been a contentious issue with its founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, who still owns 38% of the company through EasyGroup. The long-running disputes with the colourful Sir Stelios include issues ranging from aircraft orders, directors’ pay, dividends and the use of the Easy brand. In September, he notified

the airline that he would be setting up a rival airline called Fastjet, but EasyJet has agreed to pay him £300,000 this year and the next not to license the ‘easy’ brand to any other airline, sell shares in EasyGroup, or “acquire an interest in any other airline for two years”. Although Ms McCall said it was “inevitable” that airfares will rise, 45% of EasyJet’s winter seats are already booked. It will trial allocated seating on selected routes from spring 2012 - with passengers who want to guarantee seats with extra leg room paying a surcharge.

Almost 1000 people responded to the poll which revealed that 42% believe the current legislation is too restrictive overall, with 18% complaining that different airports appear to have different rules and that the current regulations need to be standardised across all airports around the world. Only 2% believed the legislation did not go far enough. However, despite these overly restrictive rules, a shocking 4% of respondents admitted that they have purposely smuggled liquids through security – and got away with it. Sam Baldwin, Skyscanner Travel Editor, commented: “The ‘100ml rule’ for liquids is

certainly one of the more annoying aspects of flying so it’s perhaps not surprising to hear that so many people have taken ‘illegal’ amounts of liquids through security, however the fact that a proportion of travellers have done this intentionally and got away with it is more of a concern. “It’s important to remember that these restrictions are in place for a reason, however, most travellers would welcome the solution of more sophisticated secu-

rity technology that might allow the restrictions to be relaxed or repealed altogether.” In 2009 it was announced that new X-ray scanners capable of identifying liquid explosives were being trialled which could have meant a relaxation of the liquid restrictions in ‘as little as 12 months’. However, since then, the rules have remained in place with no further indication that any changes to the restrictions will take place anytime soon.

Skoda`s Citigo has its sights set on the city

SKODA are definitely Up! for the challenge of competing against VW, Hyundai and Fiat in the city-car market. And with a name like Citigo, they can’t go wrong. This really is a small car to stir the juices - to have you thirsting to be out and about in the city, even though it is similar to VW’s Up! But with a front grille drafted in from Skoda’s sexy Mission L Frankfurt concept car, and a price which is sure to undercut the Up! by at least £500 when it appears in the UK next summer, this is so much more than just a VW clone. That’s mainly down to the badges, dash graphics, a different boot door and squarer rear windows, but it has something soecial about it - a touch of swagger for such a little ‘un. It has an incredibly grown-up feel, from the quality of the cabin to its ability to handle a bumpy road with ease. The three-cylinder engine is reasonably perky in both guises - you can choose 60 or 75bhp versions. The latter reduces the 0-62mph time by 1.2 seconds to 12.7, and reduces average economy by 2.7 to 60.1mpg. The performance figures are respectable, but the economy figures are no better than okay, especially as they equate to CO2 figures of 105g/km and 108g/km. Skoda has stop-start and energy-recovery systems which will drop the CO2 figures below 100 g/km and will, eventually, find their way into a Greenline version. Yet they may also be offered as an option or as standard on top-spec Elegance models. The starting price for the 59bhp car is expected to be around £7,500 (the 74bhp model will cost around £350 more, with

another £350 premium for five-door models), but entry-level S models will do without air-con or electric windows. The SE trim gets both of those, plus more, and will be the most popular choice, adding around £700 to the price. Elegance will be another £700 on top of that, making a top-spec 70bhp five-door Citigo selling at around £10,600. Smart Skoda will try to tempt you with some bigcar, luxury options. As well as an automatic version, you can get a full-length opening glass roof, a city-safe, rear-end, shuntavoidance system, cruise control, heated seats and parking beepers. And, like the rival VW model, Skoda is offering

18 November - 24 November 2011

a bespoke Navigon navigation-cum-infotainment system sitting on top of the dash. Again, the Skoda version is likely to undercut VW’s identical model at around £250. The cheeky burble of the three-cylinder engine adds to the car’s appeal around town, while it gets all grown-up on the motorway, where you can barely hear it. The car will keep up with traffic as well, although with four on board and a hill ahead, you may have to drop down a gear and turn up the stereo. But those four people will have an amazing amount of space, given the car’s size. Although the car is only just over 3.5m in length, the wheelbase is nearly

2.5m, so a six-footer rear-seat passenger can just about sit behind a six foot driver!

Oh, and the front seats slide out of the way to make it easy to get into the back.

All that and there’s still decent boot space and, at 251 litres, it’s better than its rival city cars.

Match Report By Geoff Huxtable IT’S time to take a break from League action in the form of the John Lowe Team Handicap competition. And the 16 matches produced some predictable results and some real shockers! A maximum by Shaz helped Palms Sports Bar to a surprise 5-2 win at First Division Barracudarts Boys, while Jean also hit a 180 as Summerland overturned The Pub by the same scoreline. Ourplace Naturals will be a good addition to next season’s top flight, and they showed what they are capable of by sinking Phoenix Bar 4-3, despite

Del Boy’s two maximums! Barracuda Hunters enjoyed a bit of giant-killing by taking out Toscales Ensecan, and Steve hit a 180 for La Central during a 5-2 victory at Scruffy Macs. Bar 180 A cruised past Target Titans, aided by 180s from Mick and Richard, and Cozy Wanderers’ Dave checked out on 147 as his side beat the Playgirls 5-2. Winning teams will contest the John Lowe Trophy (sponsored by The Kitchen Draw) and losing teams will contest the John Lowe Plate (sponsored by The Phoenix Bar).

Desire, Discipline, Dedication That’s the mantra of Chris Penney, Director, GC Resort who has just returned from the Spanish National Body Building Championship, in Madrid last weekend, where he achieved second place. “I was very happy with the result, it was a close second just one point between us,” Chris told Canarian Weekly. Chris was the only British contestant competing at the two day event. This now gives him automatic entry into the NAC International Mr Universe contest to represent the Spanish national team which will be held in Hamburg, Norderstedt, Germany on the 26th November. Chris started bodybuilding to get in shape some years ago and has been competing as an amateur since 1992. As he is a Canarian resident he represents the Canaries, then as he has progressed is part of the Spanish National team, representing Spain, even though he is Scottish born and spent his formative years in Liverpool. To compete Chris follows a strict exercise and dietary regime to get him into shape for the big competitions, training twice a day at the Evolution

gym in Adeje. There are two main competition seasons beginning in May and October and it takes Chris about four to five months gradual preparation. Leading up to a competition Chris decreases his consumption of water, sodium and carbohydrates until the last 3 days then he loads back up with Carbohydrates whilst cutting back on water to change the look of the muscles. The day before no water is permitted. The goal is to maximise leanness and increase the visibility of veins. The appearance of veins is further enhanced immediately before appearing on stage by darkening the skin through tanning products. Bodybuilders go through this process as they aspire to develop and maintain an aesthetically pleasing body and balanced physique. In competition there are a series of seven poses that Chris must perform which hopefully shows his body at its best. Competitors are then judged on their mandatory poses plus one minute free style to music. In the IBFA World Championship held on 29.10.2011 Chris has attained 5th place and has been the Spanish Champion twice, as well as 5th in the Mr Universe twice. His objective for 2011 is

Beware the Boy Wonder Toledo 0 CD Tenerife 0 TENERIFE returned from the mainland last Sunday with another away point, clean sheet and some weary heads! The flight back to the mainland had been badly delayed - a little like their promotion charge.

As I’ve mentioned in previous weeks, Tenerife’s poor form, if not necessarily poor results, is becoming a worry. This was a decent point, mind, against a dogged Toledo team who will cause a few upsets this season. For the first time in six weeks, coach Antonio Calderon named an unchanged side, and there is no doubt this helped as Tenerife produced a better, if some what toothless, display. Both sides had their chances and penalty appeals. Sergio Aragoneses twice showed why he is the best keeper in this league by denying first Dani Alonso and then Javi Sanchez as the hosts went in search of a win. Tenerife lacked a real cutting edge, but the return of Rosquete after injury will help the cause. It was a point gained, and even though Tenerife lost a bit of ground on Lugo and Castilla, it was a more positive afternoon. The point sets up Tenerife Position

beautifully for the visit of Celta Vigo B this Sunday lunchtime. There is a noon kick-off for a match which is live on Oasis Fm. Celta’s reserves are struggling a bit, but they did win in the Canaries back in September when they beat Vecindario 2-1. Subsequent thumpings by Castilla and Albacete are a better guide to their form,

however. But they are a young team and they do have a kid who is making a name for himself. Jota celebrated his 20th birthday in the close season, and, if he continues to bang in the goals, he will enjoy his 21st in a much higher league. This season, he has already bagged eight goals to become Points

the league’s top marksman. He is in a side who create chances. They are the league’s fourth-top scorers, but he has shown he can find the onion bag. He is quick, has a decent first touch and, as he fills out, Jota will be a real handful. I watched him this week and

detected a touch of the Luis Suarez about him. So we will have the league’s best keeper and top scorer doing battle! Jota seems a kid with his feet on the ground, as he demonstrated during a press conference on Wednesday. “This is such an important game for me and the team,” he said. “Everyone in this league knows how good Aragoneses is as a keeper, and how big a side Tenerife are in this division. “This is my inspiration - to face the best and try to do better. It motivates me to get a goal. But it will be hard. Tenerife are very good. “They have pacy wingers and some veterans who know what this league is all about. We have to dominate the ball or we will be in trouble.” While Jota is comfortable with the press, he does have his ways on the pitch. He admits he needs to work on his frustration and, with six yellow cards and a red already, you don’t need to be Brian Clough to know that Tenerife will exploit this mental weakness. Tenerife could welcome back Kitoko on Sunday, and there has to be a chance that Rosquete is fit to lead the attack. He is badly needed as Tenerife have now scored only one goal since 23rd October. With the top two sides meeting in Madrid on Sunday night (ko 5pm) a win for Tenerife is vital.

Jambo gets Targeted TENERIFE Hammers A are still top of Division One, but they were given a major fright by Target Bar on Tuesday.

They stretched every sinew to beat the Los Cristianos crew and, on another night, would have lost rather than won 6-4. The match was always close, but the Hammers are struggling to cope with the dramatic loss of form by Jambo. After last week’s cake incident with the Superstars, there will be little tea and sympathy for Jambo, who lost both matches again to make it four straight defeats. Wez, Fritzel and James got the leaders over the line - and in a watertight league, it could make all the difference in May. Summerland Superstars maintained their good form as they got the better of Phoenix Knights, and they host Palms A on Tuesday in what should be a cracker. With Palms and Hoops not in action, the sides below them missed the chance to take advantage, as the 6-4 defeat of Gaffers A at Tasca highlighted. Terrace A made it back-toback wins as they thumped Trap Door, while Summerland Allstars came from 2-0 down to win 6-4 against Bar 180 A. Bar 180 C cannot buy a win at the moment. They were 3-1 up against Atlantis Sharks but then needed captain Robin to win the last frame to earn a draw, which he did. There was another mad match at Nauta A as Dreamers tossed away a 4-0 lead. The Nauta lads have had no luck all season and, after getting themselves 5-4 up, they lost the last rubber. But it’s a point gained, lads!

All the top three sides won in Division Two, and Barracuda Bandits are now 15 matches unbeaten. Atlantis Crew were their latest victims and, with the next three matches at home, they will be confident of staying that way until Christmas. Phoenix Potters finally won a match in November as they edged past Lupain, and Summerland Elite would have sunk some Jaeger after thrashing Barracuda Hunters 8-2. Bar La Cana were staring down the barrel as they trailed Terrace Bar B 5-2 at home, but they rolled up their sleeves to take the last three rubbers and a point. Draw specialists Exiles A did it again at home to Wandabar A, as did Inn The Pink and Nauta B in a match that saw the sides alternate wins all night. Connors are now sixth after a derby victory over Tenerife Pool Tables. Target Rangers won for the first time since 4th October, 6-4 against Tenerife Hammers, and Toscales A-Team were too strong for Market Taverners, winning 7-3. There were just four matches in Division Three but they featured two 9-1 wins. Leaders Gaffers B and second-place The Treehouse enjoyed their night against the luckless Lucky Leprechaun and Bull Ring Tavern. James Place would have enjoyed their Carling after a solid 8-2 win over Dragon’s Denn, while Next Door and C&A Titans drew. Division Three takes a rest this Tuesday as it’s cup week. It’s the preliminary round of the Toddys Gold Label Cup and the matches are:

Sunshine Bar v Dos Hermanos Next Door v Exiles B Treehouse v Legendary Jokers James Bar v Bull Ring Tavern Lucky Leprechaun v Wandabar B Dragons Denn v C&A Titans

Unexpected legalities rock you on your heels, but they have to be dealt with as soon as possible, so don’t procrastinate. Although it’s a good time to move ahead with plans, you may need to make some minor adjustments to get the best returns long term. Do your homework because it’s looking good.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st) If you start to believe that you deserve better, then others will also. Stop putting yourself to the end of the list. You get a big burst energy and confidence, which spurs you on to move forward with new plans, so don’t be scared because you’ve got what it takes. Believe in yourself. GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st) You’ll experience a minefield of emotions before you can apply cool logic to making decisions about money. Trimming your personal budget is the best way to ease your cash flow, so get rid of the luxuries and indulgences, and focus on paying off bills and settling personal debts.

again. This gives you the confidence to challenge someone he/she treats you as a pushover. Problems with transport over the weekend spring from nowhere, so make quick plans to make sure of getting to where you want to go! LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) You feel you need time alone to gather your thoughts, but don’t feel guilty about it. You’ve had a roller-coaster few weeks and need time to regroup and re-energise. Once you’re back up to speed, consider getting involved in a money-making scheme, but make sure you just go slowly. VIRGO (August 24thSeptember 23rd) If you’re on the ball when it comes to someone’s emotional needs, without this pal asking, it will strengthen relationships, so read between the lines. Success at work comes your way, but only if you’re willing to stick out your neck and take a chance. And you know you’re built that way! LIBRA (September 24thOctober 23rd) Professional and personal matters get off to a good start, but they slowly disintegrate throughout the week when petty power struggles on your part threaten to jeopardise your progress. You can be your own worst enemy at times.

MONEY 01. What is the currency name in Bulgaria?

(October 24th-November 22nd)

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th) Be prepared for an emotional mixed bag this week, especially where family members are concerned. Try to put past grievances behind you and move on.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) Tread carefully when making what you think is a constructive criticism, especially if it’s directed at a partner. He or she may not see it in the same light as you.
