No holiday chaos … despite the Express!

Tourism Board accuses British newspaper of scaremongering over ‘airport strikes’ TOURISTS bound for Tenerife this month were reassured yesterday (Thursday) that their holidays were safe, despite a story in a British newspaper to the contrary.

The Daily Express, which is also printed here on the Island, was accused of “scaremongering” by reporting a so-called three-day strike by Spanish air-traffic controllers, from 18th August.

Thousands of UK holiday-makers will have been shocked by the paper’s front-page story under the banner headline HOLIDAY HELL TO LAST FOR A MONTH. Included in the main report of Holidays 4 U going bust was the ensuing travel chaos over “air and transport strikes across Europe, involving Air France workers and Spanish air traffic controllers”.

A spokesperson for AENA, the Spanish airport authority, told Canarian Weekly: “This is ridiculous. We settled our differences with the unions back in March and no disruptions to flights have been planned, or even talked about.”

Just one month ago, AENA President Juan Ignacio Lema claimed there was now “much greater margin for improvements” in the air con-

trollers” labour conditions, and said that any delays to flights would be the fault of airlines.

It seems as though the Daily Express got its wires crossed yesterday because strike threats by the air traffic controllers in Spain (and the Canaries) actually took place a year ago and were resolved last March to everyone’s satisfaction.

This point was reiterated

by Aldolfo Betetta, Marketing Manager for Turismo de Tenerife (Tenerife Tourism), when Canarian Weekly brought the Daily Express report to his attention.

A horrified Betetta, who contacted the newspaper seeking an immediate retraction, insisted it was not true and added: “We spend millions on promoting our Island to attract visitors, and a British newspaper can undo all our good work in just a few words. It’s simply scaremongering.”

Like the mainland, Tenerife is heavily reliant on its tourist trade, and 2010 was an absolute nightmare for hoteliers, traders and tourists alike.

It came in the form of the Iceland Ash Cloud disaster, ice and snow on British airport runways and wildcat strikes over here, which affected the Island one way or another.

As if that were not enough, Heathrow was closed in De-

cember and again in February this year because there was insufficient equipment to clear the runways of snow and ice, which had sun-seeking British holiday-makers tearing their hair out again.

On top of all that, in March the Spanish airport unions then threatened a series of one-day strikes at peak times - 22 in all - just when the tourist sector appeared to be recovering.

Their arguments concerned the Spanish Government’s

plan to part-privatise AENA which, said the unions, would spark redundancies, affect their working conditions and lead to higher airport and flight charges.

It really would have spelled chaos on a grand scale last year for hundreds of thousands of passengers flying from the UK to Spain and the Canary Islands.

However, last-minute talks between the warring factions ended in peace and relieved Spanish Prime Minister

Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said at the time: “It is good news and guarantees the movement of the public.”

Daily Express Consumer Affairs Editor Dana Gloger, who wrote the story, told Canarian Weekly: “You’re right.

"I picked up last year’s story by mistake - but it’s only a few words."

Actually, it was four words on the front page of a national newspaper, and four lines on page 4,

highlighted in white type on a black background.

Ms Gloger called back after discussing her blunder with someone at the Express and said: “I am not making a comment, and neither is the Express.”

Too late! She should have checked her facts - and the date of the information before writing those damaging words for the front page of a fading newspaper, still read, though, by some two million people daily.

Lucky IRN-BRU Scottish will New call to drop the speed limit soon be heading to Tenerife DESPITE the UK’s economic problems, the Scots love holidays and are willing to sacrifice other luxuries to visit their favourite European destinations, including Tenerife.

Overall, Scottish holiday bookings are on the rise this year, with a 10% increase from last year in short-haul trips.

That means over 300,000 people from Scotland will be holidaying abroad this summer, and AG Barr, makers of their favourite soft drink IRNBRU, have launched a fabulous competition.

One hundred lucky people will soon be counting the days until October, when they will board the BRU-Jet to Tenerife for a week in the sunshine here.

And it’s not just the flight because they will enjoy allinclusive treatment at the Gran Oasis Hotel in Playa de Las Americas.

The company last week launched the BRU-Jet at Glasgow Airport and announced their fabulous prize, offering 25 tickets on packs of Irn-Bru. The winning ticket details will be hidden behind the labels of special packs of IRNBRU, and those lucky enough to find one will receive four tickets on board the BRU-Jet plane for them and three guests.

Martin Steele, IRN-BRU’s Senior Brand Manager, said:

THE Ministry of Traffic is considering reducing the speed limits on single-carriageway roads in Spain by 10km/hr.

Major trunk roads, with a hard shoulder of at least 1.5 metres 5ft) in width, generally have a 100km/hr limit imposed on them.

That is consistent with many other European countries, including Britain, where the limit on singlecarriageway A and B roads is 60mph.

But Pere Navarro, head of the Dirección General de Tráfico, believes accidents and fuel consumption could be reduced by dropping the limit to 90km/hr.

He feels this could come at minimal cost to the taxpayer, as it would merely involve removing 100km signs instead of altering them, since there are already 90km signs on these roads where the hard shoulder is narrower.

“The past couple of years have been financially difficult for many people.

“But recent research shows that Scots love getting away for their annual holidays and, as Scotland’s favourite soft drink, we want to help. So 100 lucky people will get the chance to come away with IRN-BRU for a week in the sun.

“Those who don’t win the holiday will still receive a 10%-off voucher for holiday bookings with our partners Barrhead Travel, so there’s something for everyone.”

IRN-BRU drinkers will be able to win instantly by purchasing two-litre, 500ml and nine and 18-pack multi-packs, which contain the lucky labels.

AG Barr are the UK’s leading independent manufacturer of branded soft drinks, with an annual turnover of over £200m.

The company produce a large range of soft drinks, including IRN-BRU, Diet IRN-BRU, BARR Flavoured Carbonates, and Tizer, employing more 1,000 people across the UK.

Arona gastro route begins In Arona this year there are 22 restaurants participating in the gastronomy route within the municipality.

Until 21st August certain restaurants in: Palm Mar, Costa del Silencio, Las Galletas, Las Rosas, Estrella del Sur and El Fraile are taking part.

‘Gastronomic Route Marinera – 1000 flavours in Arona’ is an initiative by the Department of Economic and Employment Promotion of the Municipality of Arona, headed by Alfonso Marcos Esquivel, who explained that "the main objective pursued with the celebration of the route in the southeast area of the municipality is to energize the field of restoration, the route covered also publi-

The proposal comes just weeks after the controversial reduction in motorway speed limits from 120km/ hr to 110 was scrapped.

And that came only a few months after it was introduced at a cost of over 250,000 euros to the public for changing speed-limit signs.

The main aim behind the new, short-lived motorway speed-limit, was to cut fuel consumption.

It went against the grain because just about everyone concerned, from experts to ordinary drivers, maintained that cars were at their most economical on petrol or diesel at 130km/hr.

They also said they burned more fuel when being driven in a low gear, with constant stopping and starting through towns.

But Navarro said that 75% of all road fatalities in Spain happened on major, singlecarriageway trunk routes, or N-roads.

Vodafone antenna is banned from Gui The municipality of Guía de Isora on the 20th of last month sent a notification to the mobile phone company Vodafone Spain.

SAU, which requested the "immediate withdrawal" of the facilities placed illegally on a farm in the area La Tuna, a rural community.

The antenna is concealed within white tubes and does not have the required planning permission.

Guia de Isora council commented that Vodafone did in fact apply for a license for the installation of a mobile phone antenna in that location on the 5th April, but a decree from the Mayor refused the application due to the nature of the location.

Establishments participating are: LAS GALLETAS: Bar El Rincón de Taguluche, Bar Bistro Las Piratas, Bar Restaurante Cervecería Punto Azul, Bar Restaurante El Pantalán, Café del Puerto, Bar Restaurante La Isla, Cafetería Brisa del Mar, Bar Cafetería Los Vinitos, Bar Cafetería La Gramola, Café Restaurante Bohemia, Cervecería La Espuma, Duogar. cises the bars and restaurants to new customers, all in one month August where the population of the area increases significantly."

A total of 22 companies will offer their customers a maximum of three tapas for the price of three euros each (including drinks).

In addition, customers will have the opportunity to participate in a draw for a lunch or dinner at one of the winning restaurants.

Brits are not

behaving badly As the holiday season gets into full swing latest research shows that last year British tourists have improved their behaviour while on holiday and a dramatic drop in the number of arrests has been reported.

Statistics from the Foreign Office show the total number of arrests on foreign shores from April 2010 to March 2011 reached 5,700, a reduction on 6,439 on the same period the previous year.

The 10% drop was also a significant reduction on the 2008/09 total of 6,919.

Spain saw the highest number of overall arrests of British citizens, but countries with the most drugrelated arrests included Jamaica, Argentina, Brazil, Serbia and Peru.

And it seems some tourists could do with checking out local laws before they take their trip.

Did you know that wearing camouflage in Barbados could land you in trouble if you are not careful, so no camouflage shorts, as could wearing a bikini on the streets of Barcelona.

Making satirical jokes about the Thai royal family is also a no-go if you are planning a visit there.

The annual report shows that Spain also continues to be the country where the most Britons need hospital treatment, a figure which has increased since last year.

The FCO said that the number of deaths of Britons abroad also increased very slightly, to 5,972 from 5,930 the year before.

As a proportion, Brits are significantly more likely to die in the Philippines than in any other country.

Page 4

Other notable statistics released by the FCO relating to Brits abroad - on holiday or living there - showed the following: · There were 25,969 cases of lost or stolen passports in 2010/11 compared with 27,272 in the previous 12 months; · In all, 19,228 Britons required consular assistance abroad in 2010/11 compared with 19,839 the year before; Brits Abroad Stats For 2010/11 · 5,700 arrested (6,439 in 2009/10) · 799 arrested for drugs offences (994) · 3,752 hospitalised (3,689) · 1,745 arrested in Spain · 5,972 died abroad · 19,839 required consular assistance Spain was the country with the most instances (4,971) of Britons needing consular assistance - the next countries were the USA, France, Thailand and Greece; Minister for Europe David Lidington said: "We work hard to warn British nationals about the consequences of breaking the law abroad so it is really encouraging to see the overall number of cases of arrests and drug arrests falling.

"But last year there were still 5,700 arrests of British nationals overseas. Prison conditions in some parts of the world can be very poor, overcrowded and in some cases dangerous, and sentences can be much tougher than in the UK. "People are mistaken if they think the FCO can get you out of jail. We can't, but we will work hard to try and ensure your safety, and that you get a fair trial."

Details of the FCO's "Know Before You Go" campaign are on its website www.fco.gov.uk

They’re watching you!

The Cabildo of Tenerife has recently completed the installation of 36 new surveillance camera points on the TF-1 motorway. The cameras cover all the way from Santa Cruz to Armeñime in Adeje, there are also eight cameras in the ‘Guincho’ tunnel linking Icod and Garachico.

In a press release, the Cabildo reported that the installation of these new cameras has been made possible by the deployment of a fibre optic cable that will allow access through the Insular Telecommunications Ring to NAP (Neutral Access Point).

With the addition of these cameras it means that not only are the emergency services able to act immediately to any incident occurring on the road, but it will improve road safety, since the stored images may be required by the Security Forces as a means to clarify any infringement of the safety of the road.

The technical services responsible for road maintenance and operation is under the jurisdiction of the Cabildo of Tenerife, their scope is to look after more than 1,300 kilometers

of road and 12 tunnels, (about 4 kilometers). The information will be available in real time to detect traffic congestion or emergency situations and implement plans to optimise management. In this sense, they will be able to offer alternative routes and have quicker access to information.

This real-time information is received and managed from the Highway Information Centre (CIC). To ensure coordination of services has a modern infrastructure with the most innovative video surveillance devices and telecommunications, to pro-

vide continuous service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Currently, the CIC has 114 cameras spread across the island roads with higher traffic density, usually on the Northern Motorway (TF-5) and South (TF-1). Images are displayed to operators through a set of monitors, a 'video wall'. To facilitate the work of the operators they have implemented the system of automatic incident detection (AID), an image analysis tool that generates an alarm when it detects an incident.

The Road Information Centre is in constant collaboration

with various departments, as well as the Coordinating Center for Emergency and Safety (CECOES 1-1 - 2), Santa Cruz Local Police, Guardia Civil, Traffic Department (DGT), Fire Consortium, Operational Coordination Center Local Government (CECOPAL) and the Coordination Centre of the Cabildo Insular Operations (Cecopin).

The ICC has a free telephone number 900 210 131 - which receives about 10,000 calls annually where users can give a notice of incident such as an accident, any queries regarding the island roads etc.

LÍNEA DIRECTA

The best company for expatriates... at the best price Since 1998 Línea Directa, the market leader in the sale of direct car, motorbike and home insurance in Spain, has offered an exclusive telephone service entirely in English and German.

This service, the first of its kind in Spain, forms part of the company’s commitment to quality and excellence, which have also made it the market leader in this business sector, due to the fact that it currently has over 63,000 foreign customers residing in Spain.

As a result, services such as purchasing a policy, making enquiries, processing claims, sending documents and 24hour assistance can all be carried out in English or German at a time which is convenient for the customer by making just one phone call.

And not only does Línea Directa offer the best, it also offers its services at the most competitive price on the market. It does this in two ways: - Price personalisation: behind each quote there is a sales professional who, via a quick questionnaire, will search for the best product and conditions to suit the customer’s personal requirements and will assess him or her according to their individual circumstances.

- Maximum competitiveness: still at the best price, this

month Línea Directa is making Expats an exclusive 12x11 offer, which allows them to enjoy one year of insurance for the price of 11 months. And what is more, if the person requesting this offer already has another car insurance policy with Línea Directa, then the offer will be 12x10, which is to say two months’ free cover.

This is the result of a strategy which is permanently geared towards offering customers the very best quality at the very best price.

North airport expansion plans AENA plans to expand the north airport of Los Rodeos, the first phase to include about 750,000 square meters of land and houses.

The first round of consultation meetings has taken place with local residents, who are obviously unhappy as it affects them directly.

The first phase of work would affect an area of 50,000 square meters, the area closest to the existing airport terminal.

05 August 2011 - 11 August 2011

Manuel Gil, spokesman for the Association of Residents of San Lazaro said "from the current access point to the terminal the planned expansion goes through the area of San Lazaro where there are houses." Further consultations are planned in the coming weeks.

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

European Union, European Law SOMETIMES is quite difficult to understand the European Union (EU) system, institutions and European Union Law. There are different authorities (institutions) within the EU (European Commission, European Council and European Parliament).

And I believe it will be of interest to you for me to say few words in this column regarding the European Union which, directly or indirectly, governs our lives.

History - It is necessary to distinguish between “Treaty” and “Community”. The Treaty is the agreement that creates the Community (ie: Treaty of Rome created the European Economic Community).

The origin of European Union came after the Second World War, when European countries begun to unite themselves economically and politically to secure peace in the continent.

In 1951, the Treaty of Paris created the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and later, in 1957, the Treaty of Rome created the EEC (European Economic Community) and EURATOM (European Community of Atomic Energy).

The EEC (or “Common Market”) was formed by six founders: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

The first enlargement came when Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom join the EEC on 1st January 1973, raising the number of member states to nine.

Later came Greece (1981), Spain and Portugal (1986), followed by Austria, Finland and Sweden in 1995. Nowadays, the European Union has 27 members (after the biggest expansion in 2004, incorporating Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Malta, Cyprus and Czech Republic, and accession of Romania and Bulgaria in 2007).

There are 23 official languages.

After the 1986 Single European Act in 1993, the Single Market was completed with the “Four Freedoms”: movement of goods, services, people and money.

The Nineties was the decade of two treaties - the Maastricht Treaty on European Union in 1993 and the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1999 (later the 2001 Treaty of Nice, 2007 Treaty of Lisbon and the failed 2004 European Constitution).

Nowadays, only 16 of the 27 Member States forming the European Union are using the Euro as common currency.

Institutions The EU is not a federation (or confederation) like United States of America, and it is not an organisation of co-operation like the United Nations.

It is a singular and original system in which the Member States

Page 6

remain independent, while resigning part of their sovereign in order to be more powerful in the concert of nations.

European Council Defines the general political direction and priorities of the European Union. It is formed by the Prime Ministers or Head of the States of each Member State. It became and institution after the Lisbon Treaty.

Council of European Union Represents each member State and is formed by every Minister that can act on behalf of each State. There are, in fact, as many Councils as matters to be discussed (ie: the Council of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, which is formed by all the Ministers of this branch). The Council is a co-legislative power (jointly with the European Parliament). Sometimes, there is a confusion between European Council (which is not a legislative power) and Council of European Union.

European Commission Represents the interest of the individual Member States. It is the executive power of the EU. The Commission starts the legislative proceeding by sending a proposal to be finally approved by the Council of EU and European Parliament.

European Parliament Represents the European Union’s citizens and is directly elected by them every five years. The deputies do not represent their own country but the citizens. It is a legislative power jointly with the Council of EU Court of Justice Upholds the rule of EU laws Court of Auditors Authority which controls the financing of European Union and application of the budget.

European Central Bank Seats in Frankfurt and is responsible for European monetary policy.

There are more institutions and bodies with specialised roles, such as the European Economic and Social Committee (representing society, employers, employee, unions, merchants); Committee of Regions (representing regional authorities); European Investment Bank (finances EU projects); Ombudsman (deals with complaints against EU institutions and bodies) and many others.

The EU also counts with specialised agencies. The Lisbon Treaty has created the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (which is similar to a Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the EU, although it is not) which at the same time is the Vice-President of the European Commission.

I will continue with this interesting matter in my next column.

Tango taste of

Buenos Aires THOSE of you who have seen the tango performed by Tenerife’s own Viviana and Jason Segade will know just what a fabulous dance it is.

You will also be aware of the exciting shows staged by the husband-andwife duo here in the South, as well as in Santa Cruz, over the years.

They have built up a devoted following in Tenerife, and their supporters will be delighted to learn they have a new show coming up at the Los Cristianos Cultural Centre next Saturday (13th August) at 9pm.

Buenos Aires is known as the city of Tango, because that is where this spectacular Argentine dance was born.

And that is why professional dancers Viviana and Jason are performing their own version of the Buenos Aires Tango next week.

It is a show which demonstrates the essence and identity of a great city, with style and quality, live music and dance, all choreographed exquisitely.

All the diversity of Tango music genre - traditional, Milonga, Tango waltz, Modern Tango and hip-hop, intended for an international audience of all ages - will be displayed by this versatile couple, who have danced all around the world.

All styles of the original Tango of Río de la Plata, a show of class and character, will be highlighted by Viviana and Jason, renowned for their particularly expressive stage style, together with Adriana Herrera and Damian Desmaras.

They will be supported by musicians Orlando Dibelo (bandoneon), Juan Carlos Baeza (contrabass), Mariano Olivera (guitar) and the expressive voice of Andres Leoni.

Buenos Aires Tango is a sophisticated performance, taking the audience on a journey through the history, glamour, excitement, emotion and nostalgia of the dance.

This is one show you will not want to miss, especially if you’ve never seen the Tango performed professionally before.

FTSE has lost £50bn amid Eurozone crisis

As we go to print almost £50bn has been wiped off the value of the FTSE as the EU president warned the eurozone crisis is spreading.

The FTSE closed at 5393, down 191 points or 3.43%, taking £49.8bn from its value.

It is the biggest fall on the FTSE for more than two years.

Since last Friday morning, £124.97bn, or 8.17%, has been wiped off the value of the FTSE 100.

The biggest fallers were Inmarsat, down 19.3%, Lloyds Banking Group down 10.19% and Vedanta down 9.39%.

Markets in America, France and Germany have also fallen.

The falls come amid concern about American debt and the state of the eurozone countries.

In a letter to European Union leaders, Jose Manuel Barroso said: "Whatever the factors behind the lack of success, it is clear that we are no longer managing a crisis just in the

euro area periphery."

He called for a re-assessment of all elements of the eurozone's current and future bailout funds.

And he told them the eurozone needs to convince markets that it can respond to the debt crisis.

There are concerns about the Spanish and Italian economies.

Speaking on Sky News, the chief executive of the Centre for Economics and Business Research Doug McWil-

liams said: "(Italian Prime Minister) Berlusconi hasn't solved the problem of the Italian economy, which has now become uncompetitive with the Euro."

The CEBR says that, with Italy's economy being twice as big as Greece, Portugal and the Ireland combined, a bailout may be unaffordable for the eurozone.

Gold reached another record high of $1,680 an ounce as investors made a renewed bid for safe havens.

Amarilla golf course is just perfect for English lessons SPANISH pupils from the 3rd year of Los Cardones Secondary School, near San Isidro, recently enjoyed a practical exercise in English conversation with a difference.

It took place at Amarilla Golf, and the idea was for students to conduct interviews with the English-speaking club members who had just finished their rounds in a competition specially organised for that day.

In addition to the interviews, the students were given an introductory golf clinic in both English and Spanish by local professional Javier Toll.

They were also shown around the course by bilingual course marshall Jose Lorenzo, and the students then had to write a full report on the day - in English!

The visit was co-ordinated by the school’s English teacher, Selene Fuentes, and English conversation assistant David Britton, who is a member of the golf club.

A trophy awarded for the best English report went to Barbara Rachel Garcia and Jennifer Alma Torres.

Club Captain Ian Sharp attended the school to make the presentation in front of the girls’ fellow students during their Canarian Day celebrations.

Hopefully by Sunday the weather will once again return to its August norm.

XXVII Canarian Craft Fair Consumer organisation

challenges five airlines

The International Conference and Exhibition Centre in Santa Cruz will host from the 1st to 6th November the XXVII Canarian Craft Fair.

It will be open from 11.00 to 21.00 hours. The fair will feature a total of 190 craftsmen and artisans spread over an area of over 3,000 square meters. The Island Councillor of Economic Development, Trade and Employment, Efraín Medina, announced the event this

week in a press conference, showing the winning poster design by Daniel Pagés.

This is an annual event which has become a forum for exchange of experiences by leading craftsmen within the community. It also enables people to learn and study first hand the traditional skills that shape the material culture of the Canary Islands. The fair's main objective, like those held in previous years, is the promotion and dissemination of all Canarian crafts.

The poster for this year's Craft Fair has been designed

by Daniel Pagés. The poster consists of a combination of digital photographs and illustrations that appear on various objects representing the different trades of the craftsman in the Canaries. Lace and lace mixed with wood carving, jewelry with silk etc. As for colours, soft tones and pastels background with white, help to highlight objects in the foreground, most striking hues of purple and blue.

Website ‘Typically Spanish’ is reporting that the OCU wants 40 clauses which it sees as abusive removed from the general conditions for Ryanair, Iberia, Spanair, Aireuropa and Vueling airlines.

The OCU Spanish Consumers and Users Organisation has challenged five airlines in the courts for what the OCU considers as ‘abusive’ clauses in their general conditions.

The companies concerned are Ryanair, Iberia, Spanair, Aireuropa and Vueling, who between them have 40 clauses the OCU sees as detrimental to passengers.

They include cancelling a passenger’s return ticket if the ticket for the outward journey has not been used,

setting a maximum number of children who will be allowed on a flight and charging passengers for their hold luggage.

Another is that some companies reserve the right to decide which identity documents the passenger must present and the OCU has asked the judge, in the case of Ryanair, to stop the airline’s practice of demanding DNI identity cards for children who are travelling with their parents.

The OCU said in a press release that any passenger who has been affected by any of these clauses and wants to take action must currently take the case to the courts on an individual basis. They hope the court will rule in favour of their case and order the clauses removed from the airlines’ general conditions.

The Green Banana Guide launch new discount App THE Green Banana Guide was established in Tenerife in 2003, and some of your readers may already know of us.

We started out as a discount card which was sold to tourists in various different outlets and quickly progressed into a product used by the major tour operators as a marketing tool to attract their guests into the welcome meetings.

To date, the Green Banana Guide consists of two parts.

The first is a magazine of “what’s in resort”, including bars, restaurants, fashions outlets and boutiques, excursions, maps and discounts offered by our partners. These range from 5% to 20% to buy-one, get-one free special offers.

The second part comprises a plastic discount card, which has to be shown either when entering the premises, or asking for the bill to gain any special offers or discounts.

Page 8

We quickly realised that we were unique in the way we used our advertising, because the most important part of any advertisement is distribution and monitorisation, both of which we give to our partners Taste It, as our product has guaranteed distribution via the resort airports to all guests who arrive with Thomson/TUI, First Choice and Thomas Cook Plc. The monitorisation comes in the form of the card, which our partners can use to clearly see the benefits of our advertising.

After nearly nine years of trading, we believe they seem to like the idea, which duly prompted us to expand our Tenerife operation.

We now cover the resorts of Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Benidorm, Salou and the four resorts of Costa del Sol: Torremolinos, Benalamdena and Fuengirola, Marbella, plus the island of Gibraltar.

We are the largest holiday discount club in Spain, and our product will go out to more than four million tourists this year. But we at Green Banana

are not a company to sit on our laurels, and we’re always on the look-out for new opportunities.

We were approached in mid2010 by a Swedish company, who had watched us grow and develop over the years. They asked us to enter into a joint venture to create an opening in the marketplace for a Discount App for all smartphones, aimed at the independent traveller, which constitutes 90% of the travel market.

We quickly grasped the idea and started work on this concept, which we are glad to announce went live here in Tenerife yesterday (Thursday).

This has been launched free of charge for a trial basis of approximately one month, so we hope all your readers with smartphones will download and use our Green Banana App with our compliments.

On the launch of our paid Green Banana App, to be sold via all of the individual App Stores, it will be priced at 4.99 euros for a 14-day period, or 24.99 euros for an annual, multi-resort membership.

And considering that our users will be able to recoup the cost on the first, or maximum second, visit to any one of our partners in resort, we believe this is real value for money for any single, couple, or group of holiday-makers.

This also comes with providing information not only for the discounts, but also for what is happening in resorts on a dayby-day basis via our Day Deals section, weather forecasts, interactive maps, win a trip and tell a friend.

The Green Banana App is powered by our partners Taste It, and our download partner WiFi Mundo and, collectively, we would like to thank all our associates for making this happen.

PLEASE PUT THE FOLLOWING IN TO YOUR SMARTPHONE BROWSER & ENJOY WITH OUR COMPLIMENTS: appstudiom.telia.se/2792/tenerife

The only request we would make of you in exchange for this free gift is to tell a friend or, better still, put a comment on your social network site.

With thanks from all the Team at Green Banana.

DiCaprio is top earner 'Fake' IKEA Store in China in Hollywood rich list Leonardo DiCaprio has dethroned Johnny Depp as the highest-paid actor in Hollywood.

The Titanic star earned £47m last year, pushing his Pirates Of The Caribbean rival into second place with £31m.

According to Forbes, DiCaprio jumped from fifth to first on the back of Shutter Island and Inception, after the films earned a combined £736m.

In his next film, the 36-yearold will play FBI chief J Edgar Hoover and the title role in The Great Gatsby.

Depp continues to sell cinema tickets with his foppish portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow.

But his next role will see him take the lead in the film adaptation of Hunter S Thompson's The Rum Diary, playing a journalist in 1950s Puerto Rico.

Comic Adam Sandler, who earned £25m, was third on Forbes' list, while Will Smith and Tom Hanks were close behind, at £22m and £21m respectively.

The Top Ten Earners: 1. Leonardo DiCaprio (£47m) 2. Johnny Depp (£31m) 3. Adam Sandler (£25m) 4. Will Smith (£22m) 5. Tom Hanks (£21m) 6. Ben Stiller (£20.8m) 7. Robert Downy Jr (£19m) 8. Mark Wahlberg (£17m) 9. Tim Allen (£13m) 10. Tom Cruise (£13m) Forbes described Saturday Night Live star Sandler as "one of the surest things in Hollywood". It said while his films may not be liked by the critics, they are popular with the ticket-buying public.

Although Smith has been focusing more on his family lately, he made the list after securing an up-front payment for Men In Black III. Hanks' film Larry Crowne was a flop, but the actor enjoyed another windfall after voicing Woody the cowboy in latest of the Toy Story films.

Toy Story 3 was the highest-grossing animated film of all time, grossing £652m.

Forbes compiled the list after speaking to agents, lawyers, producers and industry insiders to estimate what each actor earned for the year that ended on May 1.

Hacking: Labour is putting presssure on Piers Morgan Former tabloid editor Piers Morgan has "questions to answer" over claims a Daily Mirror journalist hacked the mobile phone of Sir Paul McCartney's ex-wife Heather, Harriet Harman has said.

Page 10

The Labour deputy leader said it was not enough for the television presenter and ex-Mirror editor to say he behaved within the law.

"He's got to answer now," Ms Harman said, in a move which signalled the opposition party was prepared to take a tougher public stance on the issue.

Comments Mr Morgan made five years ago "give rise to the assumption he heard a tape recorded message", she added.

Her intervention comes after Heather Mills alleged a top Mirror Group journalist admitted hacking her phone messages while she was in a relationship with the former Beatle.

She told the BBC a journalist "started quoting verbatim the messages from my machine" that had been left by Sir Paul in 2001.

The 43-year-old said she challenged the unnamed reporter and threatened to go to the police, which prompted the journalist to admit they heard a message.

Mr Morgan, who now presents a US talkshow, has been linked to the story through an article he wrote five years ago.

"At one stage I was played a tape of a message Paul had left for Heather on her mobile phone," he wrote in the Daily Mail.

In a statement issued through CNN, Mr Morgan said: "Heather Mills has made unsubstantiated claims about a conversation she may or may not have had with a senior executive from a Trinity Mirror newspaper in 2001.

"The BBC has confirmed to me that this executive was not employed by the Daily Mirror. I have no knowledge of any conversation any executive from other newspapers at Trinity Mirror may or may not have had with Heather Mills.

Last week it was an Apple store, this week it’s Ikea.

It has the same blue and yellow colour scheme, the same miniature pencils, the same shopping bags - but don't be fooled, this IKEA store is only a lookalike.

The imitation store - called 11 Furniture - is a four-storey building in the southern district of Kunming city in south-west China.

The store looks and feels the same as IKEA, with the same mock-up rooms, layout and even rocking chair designs but it sells its own furniture made to order instead of IKEA flat-packed products.

The shop covers a huge 10,000 sq m and even has a cafeteria-style restaurant, complete with minimalist wooden tables, although the menu features Chinese-style braised minced pork and

eggs instead of IKEA's Swedish meatballs.

The retailer is cashing in on replicating the brand experience rather than faking the product itself.

This copycat store is characteristic of a new trend in China.

Last month, an American blogger posted pictures of an elaborate fake Apple Store in Kunming, selling genuine if unauthorised iPhones, Macbooks and other products.

However Paul French, the founder of the consulting firm, Access Asia, says no one should be surprised.

He said: "It's nothing new, it's been going on for 25 years.

Just about every foreign brand that has ever come here has been faked.

"What we are seeing with the Apple and the IKEA stores is that they are 'lookie-likies', they are not actually fakes."

The presence of the imita-

tion stores in Kunming highlights China's appetite for western brands.

IKEA said it has teams working at both the country and global level to handle intellectual property protection issues.

"IKEA as one of the biggest home furnishing companies in the world, protecting Ikea's intellectual property rights is crucial," said Ikea China.

It has nine stores in China and plans to open one to two more stores a year.

Chinese law prohibits firms from copying the "look and feel" of other companies' stores, but foreign companies must register their trademarks with China and enforcement can be lax.

The United States and other Western countries have often complained China is woefully behind in its effort to stamp out intellectual property theft.

Sales drive expansion carries on at Amazon The world's largest internet retailer is to continue sacrificing its profits in favour of expansion.

Amazon reported a 51% rise in second-quarter revenue to $9.91bn (£6.04bn) - above expectations - but profits came in at only $191m (£116m).

Its founder Jeff Bezos said: "Low prices, expanding selection, fast delivery and innovation are driving the fastest growth we've seen in over a decade."

Operating margin halved from 4% as the company in-

vested in its offerings ahead of short-term profitability.

It is looking to expand into areas such as web content and cloud computing following heavy spends worldwide on distribution, technology and digital content.

The plans include new servers and data centres for its cloud computing business Amazon Web Services, while buying more digital content to bolster media offerings, such as streaming video.

Shareholders like what they see - with shares rising 6% in after hours trading in New York.

Michael Souers, retail analyst at S&P Equity Research said:

"As long as they are able to transform growth into profits in the future, investors will be satisfied."

The company is expected to introduce a tablet computer later this year that would compete with Apple's iPad but the company would not comment on the rumours.

It follows the success of their Kindle e-reader, which has continued to accelerate as the product has innovated.

Sales in worldwide electronics, which the company is crediting for much of its revenue performance, jumped 69% in the second quarter.

Peacock finds perch on a New York skyscraper A peacock found itself in a rather perilous position in New York after making a bid for freedom from the zoo.

The male bird escaped from the city's Central Park Zoo, and perched on a fifth floor window ledge of a high-rise apartment building.

He drew a crowd of onlookers on posh Fifth Avenue, as he found himself stranded high above the street.

The colourful bird has also attracted attention on Twitter with two accounts being set up to track his adventures.

Tweets by @centralpeacock and @birdonthetown include: "My feathers are FABULOUS" and "I'm on the window sill, looking out. If I turn my back to look inside, they may pull a fast one from behind".

The zoo says it hopes the peacock will have the courage to drop from the window ledge and fly back home.

If he doesn't, staff will go and retrieve him.

RSPCA holds 24-hour marathon on Twitter

logged on to read tweets such as "On top of the Empire State Building! All the people look like little mice down there. Delicious little mice".

Tweeting under RSPCA Frontline, the animal welfare charity hopes to publicise the work of its 292 inspectors, 80 animal welfare officers and 52 animal collection officers.

Inspector Tony Woodley, communications and liaison officer for the RSPCA inspectorate, said: "It's so important to let people know what we do and how hard our frontline officers work.

"I tweet several times on most days‌ but this will be the first time we've done something like this.

"Feedback on Twitter has been excellent and people are interested to know about the RSPCA's frontline work."

However, Mr Woodley added that people are often "shocked by the extent of the cruelty and neglect we deal with".

Incidents that have previously been published on Twitter include a cat trapped in a basement for four days and three fox cubs stuck down a 6ft well.

Mr Woodley is tweeting alongside chief superintendant Richard Harding and digital project manager James Self.

On average, someone in England and Wales calls the RSPCA's cruelty line every 30 seconds.

The charity responds to around 1,000 incidents a day.

Greater Manchester Police held a similar event in October of last year, tweeting all emergency calls for 24 hours.

The force sent out over 3,200 tweets to highlight the amount of time its officers are forced to spend on "social work".

Lloyds losses increase Shares in taxpayer-backed Lloyds Banking Group have fallen sharply after it reported a bigger than expected loss of £3.25bn.

The pre-tax loss for the first half of 2011, compares to a £1.3bn profit in the same period last year.

Excluding the amount which Lloyds set aside to cover a charge for mis-selling Payment Protection Insurance (£3.2bn), the bank's underlying profits plunged 31% to £1.1bn.

That compares with a £596m net profit in the first half of 2010.

Lloyds is one of four banks which was nationalised during the height of the credit crisis two-and-a-half years ago, and is now 41% state-owned.

It blamed the results on high funding costs, repayment of Government and central bank facilities, and competitive deposit markets.

Lloyds Banking Group, which owns Halifax, Bank of Scotland and Cheltenham & Gloucester, is being forced to sell 632 branches in return for the £20bn in state aid it

received following the 2008 credit crisis.

It confirmed it had received "a number approaches" and hopes to have a buyer by the end of the year. It is understood to be in talks with six parties, including new bank venture NBNK and Co-Op Bank.

Antonio Horta-Osorio, Lloyds' new chief executive, said: "We can confirm we have had a number of credible approaches and they have been in line with our expectations."

He added: "We are confident we will find a buyer."

In June, Lloyds announced it would cut 15,000 jobs as part of a cost-cutting programme.

The bank said it had managed to cut impairment charges on bad loans by 17% to £5.4bn.

Losses on bad loans at its Irish operations hit £1.8bn in the first six months of the year, compared with £1.6bn reported a year ago.

The bank said it still expects further reductions in bad debt losses in 2011 compared to last year.

Lloyds said it was on track to meet its full year target for its increased lending agreement with the Government - called Project Merlin - after it extended £21.2bn of gross lending to businesses in the period, including £6.7bn for small businesses.

The man widely regarded as the greatest spin bowler of all time has been showing off a slimmed-down figure and increasingly gleaming complexion in recent months.

But with tabloid speculation rife about the cause of the metamorphosis, the 41-year-old has been taking to Twitter to deny it is linked to his partner, model and actress Elizabeth Hurley.

Having previously denied having undergone a facelift, the Australian insists the changes are down to hard work to get in shape for the Indian Premier League competition.

He tweeted: "Just read more dribble that my girlfriend @ElizabethHurley is to blame for how I look.

"I have always taken pride in my appearance and an attack on EH is unfair. I'm proud of how I look and worked my butt of for 4 months.

"I have always dressed nicely. I am now 41 and wanted to be fit for IPL 4. Since starting fitness kick-lost around 12/13 kg's - feel great - am proud to be fitter, healthier and happier than any stage of my life.

"Has nothing to do with my girlfriend or her direction. It's a choice I have made a while ago and now are totally into my new daily routines."

He also credits a certain low-fat cereal he eats for breakfast daily - after praising the benefits of face creams endorsed by his British girlfriend.

Ms Hurley herself has also had her say through the microblogging website, dismissing suggestions her man wears make-up.

She tweeted: "And no, SW does not wear eye makeup or have an 'eye liner tattoo'.... his eyes were born that way!

"Neither does he wear lip gloss fyi hacks in gossip press; he'd prob just given me a kiss & got a bit of mine.

"And re 'looking different', you try losing 25lbs and see if you do!"

But Warne's focus on his looks are nothing new, with the player-turned-commentator banned from cricker for a year for taking banned a diuretic - which he said was to help him lose weight.

Baldness calculators launched on Internet A calculator has been launched on the internet aimed at giving men an idea of when, if ever, they will lose their hair.

Manhunt after Teen's 'horrific' bomb ordeal A teenager who had what she thought was a bomb chained to her neck has thanked police who helped her through her 10-hour ordeal as a manhunt continues.

Madeleine Pulver's father, William, has given a short statement saying his daughter was in "good spirits" despite the terrifying incident at her home in Sydney, Australia.

At a packed news conference, he showed signs of the huge emotional strain that the family had gone through and thanked all the departments and agencies involved in the release of his 18-year-old daughter.

Passing on a message from his daughter, he said: "Maddie particularly wanted to thank those four officers who spent many long hours sitting with her showing little regard for their own personal safety.

"Last night they were an incredible comfort during a horrific ordeal.

"She has woken up this morning in pretty good spirits. She is a little tired, a little sore from holding this damn device for about 10 hours."

The Pulvers are one of Sydney's wealthiest families and police said they are treating the plot - described as like something out of a Hollywood film - as an extortion attempt.

Madeleine told police a man wearing a balaclava broke in to the family's multimillion-dollar mansion in the wealthy suburb of Mosman and attached the "collar bomb", which was later discovered to be fake, to her about 2.30pm lo-

cal time on Wednesday.

She was alone in the house and after the culprit left she phoned police herself to report that she thought there was an explosive device strapped to her body.

Surrounding properties were evacuated and roads were closed off in an operation involving the bomb squad, rescue squad, fire crews and paramedics.

Two police negotiators stayed with the teenager throughout the ordeal, keeping her calm while bomb disposal technicians worked on the device.

The first officer on the scene was young policewoman Karen Lowden, who sat with Miss Pulver, giving her emotional support, until back-up police arrived.

New South Wales (NSW) Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione has commended the constable for her actions, adding that he was "incredibly proud" of her. "Hers was a truly brave and selfless act," he said.

The device was eventually removed before midnight almost 10 hours later - and Miss Pulver was reunited with her parents, who were waiting in anticipation outside.

Police later confirmed the suspicious device did not contain explosives after using X-ray technology and the help of British military bomb experts to identify what it was.

Detective Superintendent Luke Moore revealed a ransom-style note making demands was left inside the house, but he would not detail what it said.

Mark Murdoch, assistant commissioner of NSW state police, said: "Certainly the instructions were precise, they were such that led

05 August 2011 - 11 August 2011

us to believe that we were dealing with a very serious and legitimate threat."

He added: "Madeleine is a victim - we are treating this as an attempted extortion."

The Sydney Daily Telegraph reports the note made no demands for money or action but said if the teen went to the police the bomb would be detonated.

She was also told by the man that any attempt to cut the wires would also cause the device to explode, the newspaper wrote.

Mr Murdoch said it would have been a terrifying ordeal for Miss Pulver.

"She's been kept in a very uncomfortable position for in excess of 10 hours, so she has been and will be uncomfortable for some days to come," he said.

"But she's in good hands, she's with mum and dad, who are the most important people to be with."

Police said there was no evidence that explosives had been used but that it was "a very, very elaborate hoax".

"It was made and certainly gave the appearance of a legitimate improvised explosive device," Mr Murdoch said.

Mr Pulver is the chief executive of a leading technology company and the family lives in Mosman, one of Sydney's most exclusive neighbourhoods.

Australian prime minister Julia Gillard has also spoken out about the attack, saying: "When I looked at it this... the first thing I said was 'it's like a Hollywood script, the kind of thing you would see at the cinema or on TV'.

"You would never expect it to happen in real life in Australia."

The dating device comes courtesy of Dr Adolf Klenk, a hair loss specialist associated with the Alpecin research institute in Germany.

His calculator asks the reader a series of questions and then, based on the answers given, predicts the likelihood of possible balding and the approximate age at which it may happen.

If you are feeling brave, you can even upload a picture to see what you would look like with no hair.

Baldness affects men - and some women - of all ages and income brackets so being rich will not keep someone's hair on - although, as with Elton John and Wayne Rooney, it can help with the regrowth.

The most common form of hair loss is androgenic alo-

pecia, which is genetic.

"It's not a disease so there isn't a cure," Alpecin spokesman Rick Guttridge said.

"But what you can do is treat the condition, with medications to boost your hair.

"What we have discovered is testosterone has a negative effect on hair loss ... the testosterone makes the energy in each hair follicle run out sooner so the more testosterone a person has, the sooner they will burn out of their energy and the hair will drop out sooner."

The company says it has discovered caffeine helps to balance out the effects of the testosterone but warns against drinking endless cups of coffee because "the amount you would need to drink to stimulate follicle growth would be toxic to your system".

While 80% of baldness is due to hereditary factors - if you want to keep a full head of hair, choose your parents carefully - other points need to be taken into account, one

of which is stress.

Stress levels have become so high we are now facing a "double life crisis", the first in our 20s and 30s, the second - the more traditional one - in our 40s and 50s, Rick Guttridge says.

"There are a lot of stressed out people out there and stress again has this negative effect on the hair and the energy within that.

"So if we can help to reduce stress, it's definitely an important factor in helping to maintain your hair for longer."

There is one other tip for someone wanting to keep their hair as long as possible and that is leave off the hat.

"The wear and tear on your hair makes it more likely to fall out."

Smartphone addiction

taking over our lives More than a third of British adults who own a smartphone have admitted they are "highly addicted" to it and cannot bear to put it down, not even in the toilet.

Research for the broadcasting watchdog Ofcom has found new evidence of how devices such as iPhones, Blackberrys and Androids affect our behaviour.

Smartphone users are more likely to have their phones switched on 24 hours a day and would wake up in the night to answer or use it.

Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter have also lead to owners cutting down on their TV viewing and reading.

Six out of 10 smartphone users aged 12 to 15-yearsold, or 60%, said they had a high level of addiction, compared to 33% with a regular mobile phone.

The Ofcom communica-

tions market report for 2011 says 18% of users will use their device in a theatre or cinema despite knowing it should be switched off - this compares to 10% of other mobile phone users.

The report also found evidence of smartphones blurring the divide between work and holidays with 30% regularly taking personal calls during working hours.

And using an iPhone or Blackberry at a social event or in the bathroom is also common.

Almost half (47%) of teengers with a smartphone said they had used it in the toilet.

The top three activities used regularly by teenage smartphone owners were social networking, listening to music and playing games, with emails, internet surfing and social networking the most popular activities for adult smartphone owners.

More than a quarter of British adults, or 27%, are smartphone users, representing an estimated 12 million users, according to the Ofcom report.

The Apple iPhone is the most popular brand overall but BlackBerry or 'Crackberry' handsets are the most popular choice among younger consumers.

Fresh new laws will finally make copying CDs legal An outdated law meaning millions of people are unknowingly copying music illegally is due to be swept away by the Government.

Business Secretary Vince Cable has backed proposals to update what some have called the country's "archaic copyright laws".

At the moment it is technically illegal to transfer content from CDs and DVDs onto a different format such as a computer or MP3 player.

The Government is putting the wheels in motion to change this, allowing people to transfer content and make copies for their own and immediate family's personal use.

However, at present millions of people are breaking the law, with many unaware they are doing it.

Intellectual property lawyer for Mishcon De Reya Adam Morallee believes legislation is merely catching up with what is already being done.

I think it has not been well

thought through and a lack of respect remains for artists who create the original product.

These proposals are in response to a review of Intellectual Property legislation carried out in May. The government is expected to agree with much of the report.

Sharing of copyrighted material over the internet will still be illegal.

However some critics in the entertainment industry believe these proposals are merely altering an outdated law.

What they are not doing is tackling the real and pressing problem posed by illegal downloading.

The legislation will also protect parodies like Newport State of Mind Jonathan Shalit, chairman of Roar Global which represents artists, told Sky News he is worried about the repercussions for his clients.

"The minute you say it is legal to copy something you're then legitimising it and where does the barrier or boundaries of immediate family end.

"I think it has not been well thought through and a lack of respect remains for artists who create the original product."

Online spoofs are also expected to receive legal protection.

The makers of Newport State of Mind, a song which satirised singer Alicia Key's Empire version by moving it from New York to South Wales, was removed from YouTube recently after a legal battle.

MJ Delaney, the director of the track, did not realise she had been breaking the law when she made the video and agrees with the changes.

"EMI who took it down, they weren't a victim in any sense of what we've done.

"By the time we'd done that video the song Empire State of Mind was pretty old. It was long gone out of the charts so if anything all we did was raise the profile of the song and remind everyone what a great song it was."

It is hoped the moves will benefit the UK economy, in part because individuals will be able to legally back up their music, films and e-books, encouraging the development of new technology.

It will clear the way for companies such as Google and Amazon to market online content storage systems for UK consumers, allowing them to create back-up files of their music and film libraries in a "cloud" on the internet, so they can be retrieved even if their own computer or MP3 player is stolen or lost.

MPs may be forced to vote on death penalty MPs could be forced into a landmark vote on the restoration of the death penalty because of a new epetitions scheme.

Commons leader Sir George Young has already said they should not ignore voters and shy away from debating the issue.

Sir George warned it would damage democracy to ignore strong opinions among members of the public "or pretend that their views do not exist".

He spoke out ahead of the publication of the first submissions to the new e-petitions scheme, which could see the most popular appeals discussed in Parliament.

Among the most prominent is one calling for legislation allowing child killers and those who murder on-duty police officers to face execution.

It has been presented by Paul Staines, who writes the libertarian Guido Fawkes blog, and has already been backed by several MPs. If it is signed by the required 100,000 supporters or more, then the cross-party Backbench Business Committee

will decide whether it will be debated.

Sir George played down fears about airing the subject - which was effectively abolished as a sentence for murder in the UK in 1965.

"The site has been widely welcomed as a realistic way to revitalise public engagement in Parliament," he wrote in the Daily Mail.

"But there have been some who have been concerned by some of the subjects which could end up being debated for example, the restoration of capital punishment.

"The last time this was debated - during the passage of the Human Rights Act in 1998 - restoration was rejected by 158 votes.

"But, if lots of people want Parliament to do something which it rejects, then it is up to MPs to explain the reasons to their constituents. What else is Parliament for?

"People have strong opinions, and it does not serve democracy well if we ignore them or pretend that their views do not exist."

Conservative MP Priti Patel said such a debate was long overdue and that she favoured restoring capital pun-

ishment "for the most serious and significant crimes" - a position echoed by party colleague Andrew Turner.

Another Tory, Philip Davies, told the newspaper he would like to see all murders punishable by death.

Sir George said hundreds of petitions had been submitted on subjects "from setting up an English Parliament to ensuring Formula One remains free-to-air".

Any petition deemed to be libellous, offensive, not related to government or duplicates existing open petitions will be rejected.

Moderators will also block any that concern honours and appointments.

The previous e-petition scheme had no capacity to trigger discussion of the issues by the House of Commons.

It was suspended before the General Election and then set aside by the coalition while they worked on a replacement.

The old system had been dogged by embarrassing suggestions by the public, including one for Gordon Brown to quit as PM which was signed by almost 100,000 people.

Sellafield to shut A fuel plant at the Sellafield nuclear site is to close putting 600 jobs at risk.

The decision to shut the MOX (mixed oxide) plant in Cumbria is a direct result of the collapse in orders from Japan, following the earthquake and tsunami there in March.

Engineers have been battling to stabilise the Fukushima One nuclear plant and parts of the country's nuclear industry have been put on hold.

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority confirmed to Sky News the decision to close the MOX plant was taken because the Japanese "cannot give a commitment" to future orders,

Page 14

The plant produces recycled fuel for the nuclear industry.

The 600 workers employed there were informed of the decision at Sellafield on Wednesday morning.

The NDA hopes many of them can be redeployed elsewhere on the site, where there are 12,000 workers in all.

The Prospect Union described the move to close the MOX plant as "ill-conceived and short-sighted."

National Officer Mike Graham said: "We are dismayed at the way this announcement has been made, without consultation with the unions and without properly considering the way forward after its closure."

Cameron gets apology over row about tipping The waitress at the centre of the David Cameron tipping row has apologised for any embarrassment she may have caused him while he is on holiday in Italy.

Francesca Ariani, 27, failed to recognise the most powerful man in Britain when he walked into her bar in Montevarchi with his wife Samantha.

The sockless Prime Minister was left all in a froth after she refused to serve him and his wife their cappuccino's at their table.

Surrounded by security, Mr Cameron and his wife stopped off at the Dolcenegro bar in the centre of the pretty Tuscan village for the trademark Italian coffees before asking for them to be taken to an outside table.

But barista Francesca snapped back that she was too busy and he would have

to take them himself as she was working on her own behind the counter - leaving him to become an impromptu waiter.

After their coffees the Camerons left, paying the 3.10 euro (ÂŁ2.71) bill with a crisp 50 euro note.

The couple did not leave a cent as a tip - despite them paying ÂŁ5,800 to stay in a 16bed villa on their two-week holiday.

While some have criticised the Prime Minister for failing to tip, the waitress said it was "fair enough", cheekily adding "but still he could have left the odd coins".

"I'm so embarrassed. I didn't know it was the British Prime Minister," Ms Ariani said.

She apologised to Mr Cameron, saying: "I'm so sorry if I appeared rude - I didn't mean to be it's just that I was on my own and really busy."

The UK's leading expert and consultant in etiquette and protocol, William Hanson, told Sky News online that the

Prime Minister was "perfectly within his rights" not to tip.

"If the PM was unimpressed by the service than there is no reason why he had to tip," he said.

"In Britain we sometimes tip too much - even when service is substandard and then waiting staff think that they are being rewarded for mediocre service."

He added that the poor service known in Britain would not improve unless people held back on tipping.

The Camerons are staying at a ÂŁ10,000-a-week villa with two other British families.

During his brief visit to Montevarchi - which is twinned with Bethlehem - Mr Cameron was presented with a coat of arms of the town by mayor Francesco Grasso but he was unable to give him anything in return.

The Camerons had arrived for their break on Saturday, landing at nearby Florence airport on a British Airways jet from London City air-

port having travelled business class.

The villa is on the Petrolo wine estate and beside the main house there are four other smaller houses - one of which has been taken by Mr Cameron's security team.

It is close to the hamlet of Bucine in the Tuscany region known as Chianti which is

popular with British holidaymakers and celebrities.

The 300-year-old property has its own private garden, swimming pool and tennis court and is surrounded by high walls and tall cypress trees ensuring total security.

It is surrounded by lush working vineyards and olive groves, as well as oak woods

which contain roaming wild boar, and there are also fishing lakes on the estate.

On Sunday night, Luca Sanjust, who runs the Petrolo Estate said the Camerons had been "enjoying themselves by the pool".

She added: "They have played tennis and are spending time relaxing.''

Kings of Leon cancel US tour Kings Of Leon have cancelled their US tour, claiming it is due to singer Caleb Followill's exhaustion and vocal problems and not a rift in the band.

The announcement comes three days after Followill walked off stage during a show in Dallas.

He repeatedly complained that it was too hot to perform and that his voice was suffering because of it.

"My voice is completely 100% gone," he said during Friday's show.

But other members of the family band said over the weekend that its problems go beyond dehydration, something that wasn't addressed in a statement on Monday.

Music critic David Sinclair told Sky News there have been problems within the band for a while: "They're not as much of a battling brother situation as a lot of other bands we've seen.

drinking enough Gatorade."

The family rock band, known for hits including Use Somebody, initially said they would return to Dallas on September 21 to make up for the mid-show cancellation.

The statement says the band is "devastated, but in order to give their fans the

"They've kept quite a good lid on it over the years but I think they are going through quite a difficult period at the moment and have been possibly for a year or so," he revealed.

He went on to suggest criticism of their performances may have added to the tensions.

"I think their show is a little bit difficult, they haven't really stepped up to that bigger stage as yet," Sinclair said.

"They got very bad reviews for their show in Hyde Park last year with most people saying they haven't really progressed their show to the level of their success."

Followill's cousin Matthew and other brother Nathan apologised to fans after Friday, and took to Twitter to vent their frustrations.

"Not so good morning 4 me today," Nathan tweeted.

"Ashamed & embarrassed by last night's fiasco. Can't apologise enough. Utterly gutted. A million 'I'm sorrys'."

And Jared tweeted: "Dallas, I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am. There are internal sicknesses and problems that have needed to be addressed."

He added: "I love our fans so much. I know you guys aren't stupid. There are problems in our band bigger than not

shows they deserve, they need to take this break".

They will return to the road in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Sept 28. The cancelled shows will not be rescheduled.

Jared Followill tweeted that he was "utterly depressed" and that "family has to come 1st." But then

he tried to lighten the mood.

"Don't jump to conclusions guys," he wrote in a subsequent tweet. "We're not breaking up. BRB. Just got a text from Nathan.....

Ummm.... Eesh. So about what I just said....... " Then he posted: "Kidding!

Kidding! Not breaking up."

Sellafield to shut A fuel plant at the Sellafield nuclear site is to close putting 600 jobs at risk.

The decision to shut the MOX (mixed oxide) plant in Cumbria is a direct result of the collapse in orders from Japan, following the earthquake and tsunami there in March.

Engineers have been battling to stabilise the Fukushima One nuclear plant and parts of the country's nuclear industry have been put on hold.

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority confirmed to Sky News the decision to close the MOX plant was taken because the Japanese "cannot give a commitment" to future orders,

The plant produces recycled fuel for the nuclear industry.

The 600 workers employed there were informed of the decision at Sellafield on Wednesday morning.

The NDA hopes many of them can be redeployed elsewhere on the site, where there are 12,000 workers in all.

The Prospect Union described the move to close the MOX plant as "ill-conceived and shortsighted."

National Officer Mike Graham said: "We are dismayed at the way this announcement has been made, without consultation with the unions and without properly considering the way forward after its closure."

Record cocaine haul found in UK A record quantity of cocaine with a street value of £300m has been seized by the UK Border Agency.

The haul of 1.2 tons was discovered on a luxury yacht after a search which lasted six days.

The Dutch registered yacht, Louise, first aroused the suspicions of French authorities while she was docked in the Caribbean.

Its owners then loaded the vessel onto a ship transporter bound for Holland.

It made a scheduled stop in Southampton at the end of May where it was intercepted.

Officials from the UK Border Agency and the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) searched the vessel.

The drugs were eventually found hidden deep beneath the bathing platform of the boat.

Officials believe the drugs had been packed inside a specially designed space while the boat was in Venezuela.

The cocaine originated in South America and is 90% pure. The average purity of cocaine seized in the UK is 63%.

The wholesale price of the drugs is estimated at £50m but their street value is a staggering £300m.

David Armond, deputy director of SOCA International, said the find was "hugely significant."

The Dutch National Crime Squad arrested six men in connection with the seizure.

They recovered 100,000 euros, two Harley Davidson motorbikes, two firearms, a silencer and a quantity of ecstasy.

The men include two 44-year-olds, and four oth-

05 August 2011 - 11 August 2011

ers aged from 27 to 60.

All are believed to be Dutch and some are thought to be members of the same family.

Immigration Minister Damian Green said: "This was a significant drugs seizure which was made possible by the co-operation of our international partners.

"UK Border Agency staff have shown vigilance, dedication and determination to uncover this shipment.

"Our efforts have helped bring an international crime gang to book and the message is clear; we will investigate and prosecute anyone who tries to smuggle banned substances through UK borders."

Thomas Cook boss quits after bad year Thomas Cook has parted company with its chief executive after a disastrous year for Europe's second largest travel company.

It is understood that Manny Fontenla-Novoa offered his resignation on Tuesday after accepting responsibility for the company's poor performance.

Thomas Cook, which has about 750 travel shops in the UK, has been badly hit by the turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa, rising fuel prices and the squeeze in UK consumer spending.

It has led to the share price of the 170-year-old company falling sharply since the start of the year.

A profits warning last month – the company's third in the last year – showed profits for this year would be some £60m below expectations. Fontenla-Novoa moved to England from Spain at the age of 11.

He joined Thomas Cook 15 years ago after it acquired SunWorld, a business the Spaniard had founded, which was the UK's fourth largest travel operator at the time.

Fontenla-Novoa has been chief executive since the merger with MyTravel in 2007.

He said in a brief statement: "Thomas Cook and its people have a sound heritage and I have been proud to have been part of the company."

Deputy chief executive Sam Weihagen will run the business until a new chief executive is found.

Meanwhile Thomas Cook has also reiterated plans for a strategic review of its UK business and an asset disposal programme to raise up to £200m.

Kids happy to attend pet school during the summer

Hot stuff for K9 as the Office dishes up a treat CHILDREN’S education is important, even in the summer holidays, and schoolkids have been regular visitors to Accion del Sol’s dog refuge, learning more about animal welfare.

It is nice to make a fuss over an animal by touching or stroking it, but learning how to take care and look after your pet in a proper way is much more important, as these youngsters (pictured), from the summer school in Arona, discovered.

Now, what is a pet dog?

Something cute, the focus

of your YouTube account or an expensive trend?

No! More than anything, a pet is a big responsibility to all owners, and here are some tips on Animal Care & Control to follow when bringing a new dog into your life!

Dos: 1. Adopt from a shelter or rescue group instead of buying a puppy from a breeder.

2. Remember that adding a pet to your family is a lifelong commitment.

3. Find a dog which is right for your lifestyle.

4. Take water, a collapsible water bowl, a leash and clean-up bags with you on your travels.

5. Plan to give your dog attention, toys, treats and walks on a daily basis; training and socialisation is important.

Don’ts: 1. Never leave them in the car unattended when the temperature is over 75 degrees. It could be fatal and it is also illegal.

2. Never leave small dogs unattended with children or other large dogs.

3. You mustn’t play rough with your dog and allow him/ her to bite or chew on you.

4. Never leave your dog unattended at home for long periods.

5. Avoid give your dog scraps or snacks continuously.

THE Office Bar in San Eugenio laid on a barbecue to help raise much-needed cash for K9’s animal refuge on Saturday.

On a stifling hot afternoon, a small but loyal band of supporters attended and brought supplies of treats and food for the four-legged inmates at the kennels.

Meryl, Jim and Susan sold books, cards, pens, fridge magnets, T-shirts & jewellery to raise funds.

Sophie was kept busy behind the bar and Greg did a sterling job providing a sumptuous BBQ, which was enjoyed by all.

Entertainment was supplied by Ash & Vinnie, ably supported by Emma, Adele and the golden voice of young Maisey.

Not to be outdone, Maisey’s brother, George, was celebrating his fifth birthday, and the audience joined in singing Happy Birthday to him.

Mum Kay, who arranged the event on behalf of K9, had gathered an array of raffle prizes, which raised a total of 77 euros.

It was an enjoyable afternoon and K9 are grateful for the hard work from those mentioned, plus the refuge supporters who attended, to make it a success.

The next fund-raiser is to be on Sunday, 21st August at the Lucky Leprechaun, at the Chaparral centre in Costa del Silencio, from 4pm.

Entertainment will be laid on by Pip Brown, and there’s an exhibition from the Ritmania Dance School boys and girls.

There will be Irish Stew to consume, several raffle prizes on offer and, as usual, the sale of books, cards, jewellery and K9 merchandise.

Supporters are again requested to bring along some treats for the dogs and cats at the kennels, as this is all about raising money for their care.

Marlie boy!

borrow one of the many pooches in the refuge who would love to take part.

Alls the organisers ask is that you make a donation to the refuge on the day.

Dragons' Den Sunday 7 August 9.00-10.00pm - BBC TWO The new series of Dragons' Den continues with eight more intrepid entrepreneurs pitching to the multi-millionaire investors.

Londoners Krissy Sims and Kerry O'Brien, AKA DJ Trickles and Lady MC, enter the Den with a state-of-the-art turntable extravaganza in

Page 26

the back of their 4x4. The Dragons are often happy to demo a product but it's the business and how it makes money that remains their ultimate concern.

Husband-and-wife team Liz and Alan Colleran from Dewsbury may be pitching their comfy caravan product, but will their Den experience be quite so luxurious and comfortable?

Elsewhere an Englishman, a Norwegian and a Scot walk into the Den; shades for canines are on offer; there's a never-before-seen inflatable car-based device; and a Kentish entrepreneur thinks honesty is the best policy when pitching without a formal business plan, but with an offer to help everyone get the perfect looking body for just £20.

4:05pm ........Dick & Dom Go Wild

Monday 8th August - 3.45-4.10pm - CBEEBIES Nat (Gavin Stenhouse) is a charismatic and clever young explorer who uses his new invention, the IconiScreen, to discover the four distinctive 2D-animated worlds populated by a range of comical and colourful characters called Iconicles.

The Iconi-Screen also al-

lows the Iconicle characters to leap through the screen and come into Nat's real-life world, too.

Joining Nat as he takes the audience on a journey of exploration and discovery are Miss Moo the cow; Skitter the energetic squirrel; and a dear but somewhat grumpy rhino named Rumple.

On Monday, Mungo the monkey enjoys the attention when he pretends to be ill but eventually confesses

that he isn't really ill at all.

There's a surprise in store for polar bear twins Splish and Splash on Tuesday, but will they be patient enough to receive it? Wednesday sees Dapper Duck find an unusual way of repairing a hole in the barn roof; while on Thursday, Rumple the Rhino helps Zee the Zebra investigate some unusual goings-on. And on Friday, Nat explores his five senses while exploring the Iconicles' world.

Rip Off Britain returns to screens this Autumn for a third series as Julia Somerville joins Angela Rippon and Gloria Hunniford to help tackle the nation's consumer nightmares on BBC One Daytime.

At a time when many across the UK face increased financial pressure, the series investigates and exposes some of the rip offs – both big and small – that are costing British consumers. The team is now asking members of the public who feel they've been the subject of unfair deals, sharp practice and rip offs to share their stories.

Julia Somerville says: "I'm delighted to be joining a programme that has made such a great connection with its

Page 28

viewers."

Liam Keelan, Controller of BBC Daytime, says: "Julia's career in broadcast journalism spanning three decades, makes her the ideal candidate to join our presenting line-up and I'm absolutely delighted to welcome her to the team. Her knowledge and experience will be invaluable. Rip Off Britain has fast become essential viewing for our Daytime viewers and I hope this third series will prove just as popular."

Julia Somerville steps into Jennie Bond's shoes as she steps down at the end of the second series.

Rip Off Britain (20 parts) is being made by BBC Current Affairs and the executive producers are Carla-Maria Lawson and Rob Unsworth. It is a BBC Vision production for BBC One Daytime and is due to transmit in the Autumn.

Rip Off Britain is currently looking for contributions from members of the public who feel they've been ripped off. Anyone wanting to get in touch with the team should contact: Rip Off Britain PO Box 4360 Manchester M61 0DY ripoffbritain@bbc.co.uk

Joe “in my opinion” Ferguson Weekly Updates

Email: joe.ferguson@canarianweekly.com

I still want my MTV HAPPY Birthday MTV. It was 30 years ago, on 1st August 1981, when the station which brought many artists to people’s minds was launched.

And it revolutionised music as we know it! Well, not really because in 1981 the US already had cable TV, although there weren’t that many who could actually receive it.

So as far as the world was concerned, unless you had a lot of money and could afford the flight across the Atlantic to catch it in a Disney hotel, MTV didn’t exist.

We all got on with our lives and had to wait until 1988 and the birth of Sky to see what all the fuss was about. By that time Michael Jackson was at his height, with the Bad album and tour.

And since the launch of the Thriller album we saw Jacko only on the music videos MTV were showing for years.

But one thing seems to have escaped the memories of today’s MTV bosses when celebrating 30 years. From its launch, and until Michael Jackson released Billie Jean, the music channel never played any black artists!

This seems unreal now, with the likes of Beyonce and Jay Z, etc, taking time up on all the music channels of today.

Until this period, the radio medium was only one part of the strategy Epic and the Jackson camp had plotted out for turning Thriller into a mega-hit.

The other was music video.

In many ways, video was a natural for Jackson. While offstage, Michael might have been painfully shy, the instant he stepped in front of an audience or a camera, his every move demanded that you watch him, as he danced, and spun and slid, and darted and dipped to the music.

He was a truly visual performer - the kind you needed to see in order to appreciate fully, and the kind for whom music video was ideally suited.

Nevertheless, all involved with Thriller knew that getting MTV to play Michael Jackson videos was anything but a sure thing.

The reason was simple: in the channel’s first 18 months,

as it became a cult hit among white suburban teenagers all over America, it had played only a handful of clips by black artists.

From the point of view of Bob Pittman and everyone else at MTV, it was simply a matter of format.

Ever since the MTV flag was planted on the moon during the summer of 1981, the channel had positioned itself as a rock-and-roll station.

And because only a few black acts - Tina Turner, Prince, Joan Armatrading, the Bus Boys - played what most people called rock-and-roll any more, only a few had their clips played on the network.

For Pittman, programming head Les Garland and the rest of them, the situation was no different from radio, where few album rock stations played many black artists.

But that argument didn’t fly with everyone. MTV’s original head of talent and artist relations, Carolyn Baker, who was black, had questioned why the definition of music had to be so narrow, as had a few others.

What’s more, as MTV received more and more Press attention, a growing number of journalists, music critics and black artists really began to slam the network for its segregated view of music.

True, the critics said, album rock stations didn’t play many black acts, either. But other radio formats did, and black music was still widely available on the radio.

MTV, on the other hand, was still the only musicvideo channel on television, and therefore, according to the critics, it had an obligation to expose black acts and to educate its viewers

to what else was out there.

Perhaps the most vocal critic of MTV was black musician Rick James. And though his most recent album, Street Songs, had sold more than three million copies in 1982, MTV had passed on clips for his songs Super Freak and Give It To Me Baby.

The funk star clearly wasn’t pleased with what he considered a snub, so in early 1983 he took every opportunity, publicly, to call MTV a racist network.

That’s just a little bit of the MTV history I have not been hearing over the last few days. And like the not-sowonderful world of Walt Disney (how he treated woman and his alleged anti-Jewish remarks towards staff), all is not as it seems with what we have been brought up with.

Today, it appears, you have 1,000 channels showing videos and taking kids’ money off them for the chance to win a meeting with their fave band or singer. And they are all exactly the same.

As for MTV, it has multiple channels using its brand. The original is now a reality TV channel. And in these days of instant access to anything you want to listen to or watch, is their really any need for MTV? The answer is Yes. Whatever the problems of the early start, it’s remarkable how many new talents the channel has helped along the way.

We all have internet, MP3 players and our own CD collections, but it's also a comfort to know that the Daddy of them all, with the spaceman planting a flag on the moon, is still there in some shape or form.

From the world’s

curry capital…

WHEN it comes to Indian restaurants, you should always trust the residents’ choice - and the Taj Indian tandoori restaurant, on San Blas, Golf del Sur, is no exception.

Victor and his team were the first to provide an authentic Indian restaurant in this area, back in 2002, and it has proved a popular addition.

It is managed by Mac, who offers a warm welcome and always makes you smile, and his friendly waiting staff include Mala and the team, including head chef Abdul Malik.

He specialises in meat and chicken curries and was former chef of the Royal Taj Group Hotels in India, which is why Abdul will always surprise you with his new techniques and dishes.

Once inside the restaurant, your authentic meal begins with the culture of India.

Check out the Taj Tenerife Facebook page to see their happy customers!

The traditional menu includes all the favourite, mouth-watering dishes and more, and they’ve recently added halal meat and more vegetarian dishes to the extensive list.

They also cater for the kids with a menu from 3.50 euros, while the summer special three-course menu is only 10.95 euros, which is very good value for money.

The air-conditioned restaurant also serves kebabs, and has a Chinese corner and Taj pizzas.

Free delivery to your door-

step between Golf del Sur and El Medano is also available by calling 922 738 801 (you'll get a free bottle of wine with orders over 18 euros).

And for that special occasion, you can book the restaurant privately by calling the same number. But make sure you contact them well in advance because this restaurant gets very busy as people fall in love with it time and time again!

It is open every day from 1-3pm and 6pm til midnight and is easy to find, by the Middle Square at San Blas.

Fit for purpose or not?

WHATEVER the situation regarding your home, it should always be fit for purpose.

Therefore, if your house is your permanent home, it will be furnished differently than if you live there for only some months of the year.

Equally, if you rent your property out, it is important that you consider all the relevant factors to ensure that it is suitable for rental, and that you do not overspend for maintenance or cleaning.

For example, if the property is for your own use only, you can indulge yourself with pale sofas, plump cushions and fragile ornaments.

You know your own standards, and you know you will take care of your possessions.

You will also need more storage than is necessary for people on holiday.

However, if you rent your property out, be careful to restrict any personal items to those you would not be upset to lose or break.

You should also take into account that other people may not have the same standards as you, or may not take much care with sun cream or spillages when they are on holiday.

Intricate blinds or curtains are not appropriate for rental properties. You must also consider safety, especially with items such as trailing cords or glass tables, which should always be made of tempered glass.

If you live here for some of the year, and rent out the rest of the time, you need to find a balance between the two types of furnishings.

Page 38

A good solution is to have a lockable cupboard in which to store your personal bits and pieces to make your own stay more comfortable, while leaving it a little more bare, but more practical, for the rest of the time.

As far as rentals are concerned, the person or company who cleans your property between rentals will appreciate the fact that you have given some thought to the durability and ease of cleaning.

For example, a sofa upholstered in pale cloth represents a nightmare for them, whereas one in synthetic leather, even in a pale colour, will be easy for them to clean.

That’s because it can be wiped with a damp cloth or wet-wipe while the cushions are still in place, and they do not need to be removed for washing. This also reduces the downtime of your property for maintenance purposes.

Also, this type of sofa will not be damaged or marked by mopping around the base.

Equally, your cleaner will not

appreciate delicate ornaments that may get broken or need a lot of dusting, or intricate items of furniture that can attract dust and dirt.

Carpets are hard to keep clean, whereas tiles are easy to sweep and mop.

The rental market is extremely competitive at the moment, so it is important that your property looks clean and attractive, and has the full inventory required to make a stay there comfortable and pleasant. A tired sofa, or dirty curtains, will not encourage tenants to rebook with you next year!

For a relatively small outlay, you can refresh a tired property and make it look more appealing - and, in the long run, reduce your cleaning and maintenance bills.

So make sure your property is looking its best, and is practical and comfortable, and fit for purpose, whatever your situation.

All items mentioned are available from Deco Nuevo, next to Ofipapel in Los Cristianos.

UK solar panels see surge The number of homeowners investing in solar panels has soared since the Government introduced a cash-back scheme to pay for the electricity they generate.

Under the Feed in Tariff, introduced in April last year, 43p per unit is paid per unit of energy pumped back into the National Grid by domestic systems.

For Mike Law, from Saxmundham in Suffolk, it was

a sensible investment for a lump sum he received as part of his pension.

"The main thing for me was saving the planet's resources but the Feed in Tariff was a big bonus as well. It was the incentive to go and do something rather than just thinking about it."

And with energy prices increasing in some cases by close to 20%, he is not alone.

Installations rocketed from 2,685 between April and the end of June 2010 to 14,285 in the same period this year -

a rise of 432%.

The early indications from the last quarter are that our energy bill for electricty is falling by over 50%.

Robbie Gawthrop's company East Green Energy is seeing inquiries growing weekly.

"It's a complete cross-section of people, people who are worried about increasing energy bills, and this is a way of genuinely reducing your electricity bill but also the Feed in Tariffs are guaranteed for 25 years.

"They are index-linked against inflation which means the payments will keep coming and rise with inflation."

Nearly 50,000 homes have had solar PV installed since the scheme was introduced.

Growing demand means the price is coming down. The panels are 10% cheaper than they were in January.

It can cost more than £10,000 to install the kit needed for an average home, so some serious calculations are needed to work out if the investment is worth it.

Ian Galloway spent £15,500 on his system and thinks it will pay for itself within 10 years.

"The early indications from the last quarter are that our energy bill for electricty is falling by over 50%."

From the beginning of August incentives are being introduced to encourage eligible homeowners to generate their own heat under the Renewable Heat Premium Payment scheme.

Run by the Energy Saving Trust, it will offer grants of as much as £1,250 for systems such as solar thermal panels that create hot water.

Hanging baskets Don’t let them look hung out!

When hanging baskets abound, it’s the true sign that summer is here.

It’s almost a season in its own right, the hanging basket season. Some people don’t like them but it is an opportunity for all of us to get a little green-fingered for once. Plus, the beauty is you don’t need a massive space, just a wall and a hook. The rest is up to you.

Hanging baskets add colour and are very personal to each individual.

Wildlife love them and scientific studies have shown that nectar feeding insects including bees will feed on any flower providing it provides nectar.

In America they have shown that trees and flowers have a calming affect on humans, decrease the instances of crime and can even slow down rushing motorists.

There is only one rule with hanging baskets; water, water, water as they are freehanging so to speak they are unable to get water and nutrients from the earth.

Hanging baskets due to the small space do benefit from feeding. Look in your garden centre and see what they

August garden jobs August is roasting hot, so the best time for watering them is early in the morning or after the sun goes down.

The heat and humidity make watering one of the key elements of the month. If you do not have an automatic watering system then it’s best to water twice a day, morning and night.

Don’t forget, you can use what they call grey water – recycle hand-washing water, washing up water etc. If you go on holiday it may be worth getting someone in to water your tender plants so they don’t shrivel up and die.

1. Pick and prune back any fruits, such as lemons.

2. Deadhead flowering plants regularly to encourage growth.

3. Watering! particularly containers, and new plants.

4. Collect seed from favourite plants 5. Harvest vegetables as they become ready 6. Lift and pot up rooted strawberry runners, even if you’re growing them in a hanging basket 7. Keep ponds and water features topped up 8. Feed plants as necessary

Here´s how you plant them up If you would like a hanging basket for your home then don’t worry because it’s not too late.

Choose which plants you would like. There are masses to choose from, lots of plants that can be grown in baskets, including annuals (bedding plants), and small evergreen shrubs that will provide structure and all-year-round interest. Rather than planting randomly, choose a colour scheme such as pink or white flowers, or use hot reds and yellows.

Prepare your compost by mixing a handful of controlled-release fertiliser granules and some waterretaining gel into peat-free multi-purpose compost.

Remove one of the hanging chains from a 35cm (14in) wire hanging basket and stand the basket on a pot to keep it steady.

Cover the inside of the basket with a fibre liner.

Garden centres stock a variety of liner material.

To prevent too much water from escaping, lay a plastic bin liner on top of the fibre and cut around the edges where it over-

05 August 2011 - 11 August 2011

laps the basket, making sure none of the black plastic is visible.

Put a 2.5cm (1in) layer of compost in the base of the basket. At soil level, make three cuts, 2cm (0.75in) across, through the bin liner and the fibre at the sides of the basket.

Select plants for the sides of the basket and start planting, through the slits, layering plants and soil.

Fill two thirds of the basket with soil and add another layer of plants. Continue to fill with compost, leave a 3cm (0.75in) gap between the top of the compost and

the lip of the basket, and finish by planting the top.

Water well.

Ideal plants include:Lobelia 'Fountain Mixture Trailing' - red, pink, white and mauve flowers Dichondra 'Silver Falls' trailing foliage plant with silver leaves Sweet pea 'Pink Cupid' fragrant pink flowers on compact plants Petunia 'Purple Velvet' - rich purple flowers appear on long stems Begonia 'Chanson Pink' long stems with blousy pink blooms.

Artificial heart - plastic carl pattison portable unit is UK first from Robot, answers your hair questions

Autumn - Winter collections …

YUP, I know we are in August but, just like fashion, hairdressing has to be ready for the coming months.

And in two months, summer will be over so here are my predictions as to what’s hot and what’s not for the end of this year.

First of all, we will have to get ready for colours to be re-invented, so out go your neutrals from the last year or so, and in will come vibrants - and I mean vibrants!

No subtle hints of this or that. I’m talking “In-yourface” boldness. We’ve not had such a colour revolution for some years because stars and celebs have shied away from sticking out.

Not any more, they’re not because the rules now will be “More is more”, and not only on the famous.

Look around and you’ll see that the average girl on the street is getting a little more adventurous.

So what are we talking?

Everything from reds to oranges, pinky hues to deep purples, and not only shown alone but mixing them up too, so as create a vibrant mix.

Don’t be shy of trying out a new and more adventurous shade, and as long as you’re looking after it, fading shouldn’t be a problem.

Your reds can go from auburn to mahogany, or

Page 40

poppy red through to fire - it’s such a great shade to bring out your skin tones if you are more of an olive shade.

Oranges range from pale copper to a burnt orange, and even your fluorescent orange can look great in darker hair, while your pinks go from pastel to Barbie. Pink pastels in your lighter blondes and the more brighter in darker shades work well.

This season’s must-have colour will be violet: anything from black with a hint of it, to cerise violet, and even blackcurrant tones come through..

Of course, adding these shades to a regular haircut isn’t going to work. The style will have to match the colours used, so there’s no point trying to use these colours if you don’t have the personality to go with them.

Don’t get me wrong because, just like fashion, things get watered down by the time they reach the streets. I’m not suggesting we all go round like walking shade charts.

I’m saying that for once,

just experiment and see what a difference a little colour will make. And adding colour to your hair, of course, always makes a change from taking it away - “going blonde”, for example.

Putting colour back into your hair adds shine and condition, not to mention a healthier look to it as well.

If you are into fashion and take an interest in what’s hot and what’s not, you will notice that clothes are also heading this way.

There’s lots more colourclashing around, and a use of bold print and texture.

That’s where I get my creativity, and not from looking in books or asking Mrs Jones, who has just come back from the UK. Look around for your inspiration and don’t be shy to ask others: “Where did you buy that from?” And, more importantly: “WHO DID YOUR HAIR?” It’s the biggest compliment anyone can receive so go on, just do it because it’s the easiest way, hairwise, to find what you’re looking for.

A 40-year-old father has become the first person in the UK to receive a totally artificial heart implant powered by a portable unit which enables him to go home.

The recipient was Matthew Green who had been critically ill, suffering from end-stage biventricular heart failure - a condition where both sides of the heart begin to fail.

It has been implanted by surgeons at Papworth Hospital and replaces both ventricles and the native heart valves.

The plastic device provides blood flow of up to 9.5 litres per minute is hooked up to a powered backpack or shoulder bag which weighs 6.1kg.

Mr Green can now leave the hospital to be with his family while he waits for a proper transplant.

The stop gap 'bridgeto-transplant' system has worked successfully in the United States.

An artificial heart was used once before at Papworth - in

1986 and only for two days - before a heart transplant was carried out on the patient who had to remain on intensive care machines.

The new generation Total Artificial Heart gives dangerously-ill heart patients the chance to have a better quality of life and greater chance of survival.

Mr Steven Tsui, consultant cardiothoracic surgeon and director of the transplant service, said: "At any point in time there may be as many as 30 people waiting for a heart transplant on our waiting list at Papworth, with one third waiting over a year.

"Matthew's condition was deteriorating rapidly and we discussed with him the possibility of receiving this device, because without it he may not have survived the wait until a suitable donor heart could be found for him.

"The operation went extremely well and Matthew has made an excellent recovery. I expect him to go home very soon, being able to do a lot more than before the operation with a vastly improved quality of life, until

we can find a suitable donor heart for him to have a heart transplant."

Mr Green said "I want to thank all the wonderful staff at Papworth Hospital who have been looking after me and who have made it possible for me to return home to my family.

"Two years ago I was cycling nine miles to work and nine miles back every day but by the time I was admitted to hospital I was struggling to walk even a few yards.

"I am really excited about going home and just being able to do the everyday things that I haven't been able to do for such a long time, such as playing in the garden with my son and cooking a meal for my family."

The device is unlike the more familiar left ventricular assist device (LVAD), which only helps the failing left ventricle.

The Total Artificial Heart replaces both the left and right heart ventricles and takes over the pumping of blood throughout the whole body.

Salt is too much of a bad thing for babies MORE than two-thirds of eight-month-old babies eat too much salt because they are fed a diet of processed food.

Among the foods blamed by researchers at the University of Bristol are tinned spaghetti, baked beans and bread.

As their main drink, many babies are also given cows’ milk, which has higher levels of salt than breast or formula milk, despite recommendations that it should not be used in this way until babies are at least a year old.

High levels of salt can dam-

age developing kidneys, give children a taste for salty foods and establish poor eating practices that continue into adulthood. And this can result in health problems later in life.

The findings were based on almost 1,200 participants in the Children of the 90s study, published online by the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

They found that the majority of infants were first introduced to solids at around three-to-four months.

Nutritionists said that the majority of salt consumed by people in the UK was added to food during manufacturing - and

called on the manufacturing industry to reduce its use of salt.

Dr Pauline Emmett and Vicky Cribb, who carried out the research, said: “These findings show that salt intakes need to be substantially reduced in children of this age group.

“Infants need foods specifically prepared for them without added salt, so it is important to adapt the family diet.

This research suggests that clear advice is needed for parents about what foods are suitable for infants.

“This should be given to all parents and carers, and should include the important advice not to use cows’ milk

as a main drink before 12 months of age.”

They added: “Given that three-quarters of salt in the diet comes from processed adult foods, successful saltreduction strategies can be achieved only with the co-operation of the food industry.

“Manufacturers have a responsibility to reduce the salt content of food products. This process has already started in the UK, but much more needs to be done.

“If this study were repeated today, it is likely that there would be some improvement - but not enough to safeguard the health of all babies.”

Big message to Pedal away those the brain: Don’t heart-attack blues smoke, and keep you weight off SMOKING, diabetes and excess weight in middle age can cause the brain to shrink. And the effects may lead to impaired thinking up to a decade later.

And, say US scientists, high blood pressure and smoking also lead to increases in “white-matter hyper-intensities”, which are small lesions or areas of brain damage.

“Identifying these risk-factors could encourage people to make changes to their lifestyle before it’s too late,” said Dr Charles DeCarli, who led a new survey from the University of California.

The study involved 1,352 dementia-free individuals with an average age of 54, who were given magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans over a 10-year period.

All the subjects were taking part in a major US investigation into heart-disease riskfactors.

People with high blood pressure were found to develop white-matter hyper-intensities faster than those with normal pressure readings.

They also had a more rapid worsening of scores on tests of planning and decision-making.

Middle-aged people with diabetes lost brain volume in the hippocampus, a brain region vital to memory, at a faster rate than those without diabetes.

Smokers lost brain volume overall, and they were also likely to suffer a rapid increase in vascular brain lesions.

Obese participants were more likely to be in the top 25% of those with a faster rate of decline in scores for tests of planning and decision-making.

“These factors appeared to have a slowing affect on the brain’s ability to plan and make decisions 10 years later,” added Dr DeCarli.

MODERATE exercise, such as cycling or playing badminton, for just 2½ hours a week can reduce the risk of heart disease quite considerably.

While more exercise is better, 150 minutes a week can lower the risk by 14%, compared with those who are inactive.

Moderate activity also includes brisk walking, heavy cleaning (such as washing windows), vacuuming and

mopping, plus mowing the lawn.. A study, published in the American Heart Association’s journal also found there was a 20% reduced risk for those exercising 300 minutes a week.

Jacob Sattelmair, from the Harvard School of Public Health, said: “Recent studies have begun to assess the actual amount of physical activity people are getting, and how that relates to their risk of heart disease.”

£400-a-kilo super spuds from France selling for just £1.99!

BELIEVE it or not, the French gourmet potato La Bonnotte can command an astonishing price of £400 per kilo.

But Tesco have over-ridden the cost of the world’s most expensive spud, and are selling their variety for £2.65 a kilo after sourcing a new supply on Jersey The giant supermarket chain are putting them in 750g bags with a £1.99 price tag. But even that seems excessive because they are still around a third more expensive than Jersey Royals, which are the nearest equivalent.

La Bonnotte are so costly because only about 20,000 kilos are grown each year, and Andy Blackett, senior potato buyer for Tesco, said: “They are the caviar of the potato world and, kilo for kilo, are among the plan-

Cut-price battle of the super giants is bonus for shoppers et’s most expensive foods.

“The French normally snap up most of them as soon as they become available and occasionally, they are offered to top restaurants over here.

But for us to get such a large quantity is a real coup.”

He added: “They have a unique and complex taste that is simply out of this world. That’s because seaweed is added to the soil

to enrich their production, which gives them a distinct hint of sea saltiness, as well as lemon and an earthy nuttiness.

“As we’ve bought a lot, we’ve been able to get them for a good price and will pass this saving on to our customers.”

La Bonnotte used to be grown exclusively on the tiny Atlantic island of Noirmoutier, off the coast of western

France.

But they have been grown recently on Jersey, which has the same climate and similar growing conditions, in order to preserve Noirmoutier’s soil.

As the potato is so delicate and its tuber remains attached to its stem, it must be hand-picked rather than risk being cultivated by machine.

THE amount of food being bought in supermarkets is falling, which has sparked a cut-price war among stores like Tesco and Sainsbury’s.

Tesco, the largest of all supermarkets, have been giving customers vouchers worth a fiver for every £50 spent, while Sainsbury’s responded with a £1 reduction on hundreds of items, including bread and milk.

Other stores joined in the battle as well, including Waitrose, Lidl and Aldi, who offered extra multi-buy deals.

The discounting followed new figures showing food volumes had fallen by 4.2% in June - the steepest drop since the end of the recession.

One retail analyst said: “Tesco seem to be under some pressure at the moment and this latest action appears to be a reaction.

Another analyst added: “They’re all trying to drive volumes through promotions because everyone’s like-for-like sales are way down on last year – some by as much as 10.

“The retailers and suppliers have swallowed most increases in commodity costs and they will continue to take this hit. But it will obviously affect their profits.

A Tesco spokesperson said: “This offer, which had been planned for some time, is just one of the ways we are helping our customers keep the costs down.

“We are also looking to help them stretch their household budgets that little bit further.”

Fish around and make the most of a quality protein FISH is one of our healthiest, most inexpensive, and easiest to prepare foods in the market, and it comes highly recommended by food experts the world over for its nutritional values.

Fish and shellfish are a great source of high-quality protein, essential nutrients, are low in saturated fat, and contain omega-3 fatty acids.

Yet many of us tend to ignore fish and opt for meat.

In the US, for example, average adult consumes just 16lbs of fish annually, compared with a whopping 118lbs of red meat.

A lot of us are confused about fish, and no wonder because there are more than 500 species and lots of questions about taste, cooking preparation, and what is safe to eat.

Surprisingly, when it comes to value, the advice is to buy

Page 42

frozen! Most seafood is put on ice (or even in a freezer) right after it’s caught.

Buying frozen seafood will not only save you money, but usually the texture and taste will be better since it hasn’t already been defrosted.

Place seafood in the refrigerator the night before using, to defrost. Try thawing fish fillets in milk because it absorbs the “frozen” taste. Thawing frozen fish on your worktop is not recommended, as it can lead to food safety issues.

If you’re pressed for time, you can run the seafood under cold water to defrost (but typically, the texture and flavour will not be as good).

And here’s a big tip: beware of labels. Some retailers and seafood companies try to capitalise on the organic trend by selling “organic” fish. You’ll pay up to 50% more and derive no added quality or value!

Nancy Spain’s has that Coloured cauliflours! ring of success about it IF you’ve never seen Irish dancing performed live, or heard any of the wonderful Irish love ballads, then you really must get yourselves down to Nancy Spain’s, a new restaurant in Los Cristianos.

Nancy Spain, written by Barney Rush and popularised by the legendary Christie Moore, is one of the most beautiful, haunting ballads to come out of Ireland.

No wonder then that John and Sarah, the husband and wife team behind Nancy Spain’s, settled on that name after converting

the original Valentines into a pizza place, and strictly Irish!

The restaurant is situated opposite the Sunday market in Los Cristianos, and as well as offering live and recorded Irish music to go with their excellent pizzas.

Aileen Donaghy will be demonstrating all that’s best in Irish dancing twice weekly.

Aileen, who has danced professionally for some time, has also fallen in love with Tenerife and wants to share her good fortune with customers.

Having visited the Island on many occasions, John and Sarah, together with their pal Darren, came a long way from Tipperary in January to start a new life here on our sunny shores.

05 August 2011 - 11 August 2011

They spent six months getting everything perfect before the grand opening, and what a wonderful night it turned out to be.

Every table on the terrace was full of people enjoying their fabulous pizzas, along with all the other guests inside in the bar area.

Nancy Spain’s opened at the beginning of July, but once the trio had settled in nicely, they decided to invite friends for an official opening, with picks and drinks.

Popular singer I.S. supplied the singing and Aileen the dancing as the night proved to be a rip-roaring success.

And there will be plenty more similar nights if this one was anything to go by!

MAKING food exciting is something most restaurant chefs try to achieve, but for mums, it’s an entirely different challenge because kids always want something different.

Now, plain, boring old cauliflour is being given a “makeover” to tempt children to eat what is regarded as a tasteless plateful, fit only for pushing to one side.

After watching broccoli take the lead as the preferred brassica in the UK, Tesco has decided to give the unpopular veggie a little colour boost.

The supermarket chain has experimented by cross-breeding cauliflower with other more colourful vegetables, like green cabbage and broccoli, and has succeeded in creating a host of colours, including bright-green, purple, and yellow.

It has been marketed extensively as “Rainbow” packs, and the technicolour caulis have hit the stores this week.

But the big question, obviously, is: will it work? Will kids actually tuck into what is, essentially, still a boring food?

They have already proved to be a big hit in the States, and experts say these coloured colis have greater health benefits than their bland brethren.

So there is a chance, especially if mums mask them in a cheese sauce and even put a few chips

on the plate as a bribe.

Experiments with colour-swapping in the past have met mixed success for food companies.

Pepsi Cola once launched a colourless soda, Crystal Pepsi, which sunk without trace, and David Novak, brains behind the idea, called it the “worst-executed plan I’ve ever had”.

Yet Heinz launched green ketchup in 2000, which was such a success that the company eventually added red, purple, pink, orange, blue and teal sauces as well.

Families facing a summer of card surcharges, says Which?

Popular UK visitor attractions are adding inflated card surcharges to online bookings despite a ruling by the OFT that these charges are misleading and weaken competition.

New research by Which? has found that Alton Towers, Chessington World of Adventures, Thorpe Park, and Warwick Castle - all owned by Merlin Entertainments - all charge a fee for taking payment on debit and credit cards online, ranging from £1 to £2.50.

Which? believes that, in the case of debit cards, this could be over seven times as much as it costs the attractions to take card payments*.

However, Merlin Entertainments only levies these charges on some of its attractions – it doesn’t charge customers for card payments at other attractions such as The London Eye, Madame Tussau-

ds and Legoland, and nor does it charge walk-up customers for paying on debit and credit cards.

Drayton Manor in Staffordshire levies a fee of £1.50 to take payment on debt and credit card online.

It’s not just the big attractions that will be adding surcharges this summer. Cinema chain Vue charges 70p per ticket for online card payments while Odeon charges 75p.

Following a super complaint

by Which? the OFT last month recommended regulatory changes that would end debit card surcharging for good.

One of the recommendations was a simple change to the Payment Services Directive.

However, the Treasury has not yet responded to these recommendations.

Richard Lloyd, Executive Director of Which? says: “We think card surcharges are completely misleading and unfair, and make it hard for consumers to see the true

cost of their purchase. The Treasury must act quickly to put an end to debit card charges for good.

"While budget airlines may be the worst offenders, excessive card surcharges are widespread, with everyone from cinemas and visitor attractions

through to train companies getting in on the act.

“If the charges are genuinely in place to cover the costs faced by business, why does Merlin Entertainments only charge card fees for some of its attractions, and then only for online customers?”

EasyJet all set to fly from the new base at Southend EasyJet, the UK’s largest airline, have announced the destinations they will operate to and from Southend Airport, from April.

With seats now on sale, passengers will have a choice to fly to Amsterdam, Alicante, Barcelona, Belfast, Faro, Ibiza, Malaga and Mallorca.

With up to 70 flights a week and starting fares from £23.99, passengers will be able to experience easyJet’s newest UK base, located within a minute’s walk from a new train station with quick links into London Liverpool Street station and Stratford station.

To celebrate the announcement, Sally Gunnell, local Essex girl and Olympic champion, joined local pupils from Eastwood School, at Southend Airport. The pupils then joined Sally onboard an easyJet aircraft and asked her questions about her sporting achievements.

Sally Gunnell said “I was so excited to hear that easyJet was planning to fly from my home county to the home of

my Olympic gold win, Barcelona. The people of East London and Essex will love having more choice and a greater range of destinations to fly to. I’m sure that easyJet services to Southend will also be popular for Europeans wanting to fly to London next year. It was also great to meet the budding athletes from Eastwood School and hear the enthusiasm from the next generation hoping to succeed in sporting events in the future.”

Catherine Lynn, easyJet’s Customer and Revenue Director, said: “This is an exciting time to be launching our routes from our newest UK base. The airport is in a fantastic location just outside London with a fast rail link into the city.

"Through offering easy and affordable travel, we expect the new routes to appeal to customers in Essex and London looking for a convenient new departure point for many top European destinations."

We also believe that the European city links, such as Amsterdam, Belfast and Barcelona, will also attract a high number of inbound business and leisure passengers to London next summer.”

Make your flight a pleasure, and not the usual nightmare THOMSON AIRWAYS have launched a guide to show passengers how to have a healthy approach to flights - and how not to be their own worst enemies in the air.

They believe it will enable holiday-makers to step off a long-haul flight feeling fresh and fighting fit, instead of fed-up and fatigued.

Their Good Flight Guide - the first of its kind - is packed with advice from experts in fitness, health and beauty, and aims to show how simple changes to an in-flight routine can make a big difference.

The guide has been produced as part of the countdown to the eagerly-awaited maiden commercial flight of the revolutionary new Boeing 787 Dreamliner, hailed as one of the greatest developments in recent aviation history.

Thomson Airways, the UK’s third-largest airline and part of TUI Travel PLC, will be the first UK airline to fly

Page 44

the Dreamliner, next year.

The Good Flight reveals that many problems faced by longhaul passengers are of their own doing and are completely avoidable.

Most worryingly, more than 70% of long-haul passengers either do little or no exercise during their flight, with just 30% following the recommended advice that travellers should walk around and stretch their muscles frequently.

Also, 41% of those surveyed admitted to drinking only a little water, with another 7% drinking none at all and risking dehydration.

And 64% of passengers who reach their final destination at night say they either struggle to fall asleep or take far longer than usual.

In addition, 32% of passengers complain that they suffer from a stuffy nose during long-haul flights, 15% from dry skin and 14% from chapped lips - all of which can be caused by the cabin air pressure.

Chris Browne, Thomson Air-

ways managing director, said: “We have developed the Good Flight Guide to help people arrive at their destination feeling as fresh and relaxed as when they first stepped on board, if not more so.”

“We have been taking people abroad for more than 45 years, so we know it’s the little things that make a big difference to people’s holidays.”

The Dreamliner, which has been designed with passengers in mind, will change flying as we know it with unrivalled levels of comfort, more space, bigger windows, a better atmosphere, a quieter ride and a state-ofthe-art lighting system to reduce jet lag.

This new guide offers five top tips to help make sure people can start enjoying their holidays as soon as they arrive at their resort: *Plan ahead: set your mind and watch to the time at your destination as soon as you’re on board and try to stay awake or get some sleep en route.

*Stay moisturised: drink

plenty of water in the days before your flight and take your favourite skincare products on board with you in travel-sized containers. *Eat and drink wisely: fresh fruit, unsalted nuts and fruit

juices are better than alcohol, caffeine and salty or sugary foods, before your flight and once you’re airborne. *Stay in shape: a short preflight work-out will give your circulation a boost and, once

onboard, a series of back, leg and neck exercises will help. *Chill out: it’s important to be comfortable on a flight by wearing loose-fitting clothes, and remember to pack a pair of warm socks.

Audi power in with stylish diesel estate

IT’S the most potent diesel on the market, and Audi’s new A6 Avant estate comes equipped with a potent new twin-turbo V6.

This unit is capable of putting out 309bhp, along with a staggering 650Nm of torque, which easily outguns the BMW 535d Touring and the Mercedes E350 CDI. But power is only a small part of the equation, so how does the rest of the new loadcarrier compare? In the style stakes, it is business as usual for the Audi.

This upmarket estate is almost identical in size to its predecessor, but extensive use of aluminium in the body panels means it's up to 70kg lighter than before.

It comes heavy-set, thanks to its extra width and a wheelbase which has been stretched by nearly 70mm, giving more leg room inside.

The standard set of silver

roof-rails and a small rearspoiler give the estate a little more presence than the unassuming saloon.

The Avant S Line model is fitted with a set of gargantuan 20-inch alloys that fill the arches to bursting, but for the most part the Avant exudes a subtle class.

The interior is a cut above anything else in this class, and all the instruments set in the wraparound dash really are pleasing on the eye.

Despite the sloping roofline, boot space with the seats in place is 565 litres, and 1,680 litres with them folded down, which is marginally more than the outgoing model.

Other practical additions, like the nifty electronic bootrelease that opens with a wave of your foot, show real thought has gone into making the A6 a usable family transporter.

But it’s the performance on offer from this flagship model that dominates. Unu-

sually for a diesel, there’s a deep, bass rumble from the exhausts that turns into a full-on growl as the revs climb, and that huge wave of torque keeps you surging effortlessly forward.

Place the eight-speed tiptronic gearbox in sport mode and the Avant kicks down eagerly, showing a turn of speed that would embarrass most sports cars, with the 0-62mph sprint dispatched in just 5.3 seconds.

Even amid the most slippery of conditions, the wider front and rear track, combined with those huge tyres and the Quattro four-wheel drive system, keep the Avant planted firmly through corners.

Yet the A6 Avant, from around £31,700, still falls short of the dynamic benchmark. Its biggest problem is the steering, which is surprisingly weighty, but fails to deliver the feedback you would expect in a car this powerful.

Deep purple strikes a new chord for Twingo THIS is the only image available from Renault of their new, glammed-up Twingo, which will debut at next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show.

Look beyond the vivid colour and you’ll quickly spot changes to the bumper, the lights and the grille, which now incorporates a bolder, more upright Renault logo, also necessitating alterations to the bonnet.

These revisions make the Twingo the first production car to display Renault’s new styling direction.

It’s hard to tell what else has been done to the out-

05 August 2011 - 11 August 2011

side, but beyond the alloy wheels, there do not appear to be any significant changes to the flanks of the car, which still feature unusual door handles.

There’s also no word on whether Renault have upgraded the interior, which has always been an area of weakness for the Twingo (despite innovations such as the availability of individually sliding rear seats).

And nor is there any news of changes to the engine line-up. But I’ve always seen the little Twingo as a loveable runaround, and if this is the shape of things to come for the model, then bring it on!

Match Report

By Geoff Huxtable AS we sat enjoying the England cricketers’ victorious performance against India on Monday, so it was that the umpire raised his finger eight times to give League leaders Nauta A a whitewash at Gaffers.

Valley Vikings bowled a few no-balls at Bar 180 A to slump to a 7-1 defeat, home players Kelvin and Mick both hitting maximums on the way.

Cozy Wanderers found the boundary seven times at XMen, while Barracudarts Boys were unable to defend their wicket at Phoenix Bar and trudged back to the dressing room for a duck!

Cafe Rood A were caught in the slips as they lost at home against Target Army, and Toscales Tornados held on firmly to their googlies to beat La Central 7-1.

Target Titans and Bar 180 B were stumped at four apiece, while The Pub player Grizzly hit a century-plus finish (117) to secure victory at Toscales Ensecan.

Page 46

Yelas Bar’s 5-3 win at Tavern means they have taken seven points from their last three innings and are now out of the bottom three for the first time.

There was no silly-mid-on at Division 2 table-toppers Sundowners as they bowled out Phoenix Flames 8-0, while second-placed Knights knocked Trap Door’s bails off and won 5-3.

The Naturals are looking good down the leg side, remaining third after beating Palms Sports Bar, and Sunshine Bar got all in a spin and drew at home with Summerland.

The Bad Girls/Boys claims for bad light fell on deaf ears as they were dismissed 8-0 at Tenerife Sun, while Ourplace Playgirls’ Rhi won her first-ever game, despite her side being hit for six by Valle Vikings in a 6-2 defeat.

Congratulations go to La Cana after they finally registered a point by ending up sharing the eight wickets with Marilyns.

Elsewhere, rain stopped play at 4-4 for Naughty Nautas and Cafe Rood B, and Barracuda Hunters dodged a few bouncers and carried their bats to a 5-3 success at home against Lucky Leprechaun.

Horoscopes of the week Leo

(July 24th-August 23rd)

Are you getting the feeling that someone at work is not being exactly honest about a situation? To avoid disappointment at a later date, you need to call him/her out and ask directly about what’s happening. Now, you may not want to hear it, but you must.

VIRGO ( August 24thSeptember 23rd) You have a good chance to finalise plans at work, just in the nick of time, but make sure you don’t give so much time and energy to your career that your relationship suffers. Work on restoring peace and harmony at home and all will be well, wherever you are.

LIBRA (September 24thOctober 23rd) Keep a balanced attitude and stop comparing yourself unfavourably withers. Don’t allow old paranoia to spoil your week. It’s time to make long-term decisions over work and love, so stop burying your head in the sand and get on with it!

SCORPIO (October 24thNovember 22nd) Although you’ve been making great progress over work money and love, things could come to a crashing halt in the next few days. This is a temporary glitch, so don’t lose heart. Just roll with the tide and pick up where you left off as soon as possible. And you must keep your temper.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rdDecember 21st) There’s a situation you need to break free from, but taking shortcuts, or making underhand moves, is not the answer.

Hold on to your principles and find another way to approach this. Keep discussions light to sidestep those tensions which are invariably brewing.

Page 48

CAPRICORN (December 22ndJanuary 20th) If you think you’re making more sacrifices than a partner, you need to redress the balance. Be careful how you put this across, though, as words are powerful tools and can go off like a rocket if they’re said the wrong way. Think before you speak, and don’t make pointed accusations.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) Close friends seem over-excited about plans they have in the pipeline, and you’ll need to let them down gently when you tell them they may be over-extending themselves.

Keep the mood light and focus more on the positive changes they’ve made, instead of their mistakes, and they will be grateful to you.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) There are a lot of unsaid tensions in your partnership and they could well come to a head this week, so it could be decision-time for you. If you can resolve issues, then more power to your elbow, but things must change for the better for both your sakes. Think you’ll manage?

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th) Lethargic?

Not feeling motivated?

Don’t turn to spending sprees to alleviate your boredom or get one up on someone else. Focus instead

on double-checking all plans and travel arrangements because, with Mercury going backwards, havoc over communications will throw a spanner in the works.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st) You’re frustrated and irritated because every time someone has to make a sacrifice to get someone else out of a jam (he’s usually made himself, it seems to somehow always fall to you. Focus on what’s positive in your life and remind yourself that this time will pass.
