Spain and UK respond to Paris terror attacks

S PARIS REMAINS in a state of shock over seven terrorist attacks that killed at least 132 people and injured over 352 on Friday night, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy spoke out on Saturday to express solidarity with France and to allay fears of potential attacks on Spanish soil. “We want to tell our French friends that we are by their side, that they can count on us,” said Rajoy in a morning address at La Moncloa prime ministerial palace. “There is no cause that can justify yesterday’s atrocity. We are not facing a war of religions, but a battle between civilization and barbarity,” he added. “Today, we are all France.”

Interior Minister Jorge Fernández Díaz said that the government had decided to maintain the terrorism threat level at its current standing following a meeting of the Terrorist Threat Evaluation Committee.The committee, which comprises the country’s top-

Meanwhile, David Cameron placed the UK on high alert for a terror attack, as holidaymakers in Paris were told to “stay indoors” and security checks were ramped up at British airports and ferry terminals.The Prime Minister said the scale of the atrocity in France revealed

At the time of going to press, French media reported that three brothers were involved in the attacks and one may remain at large. They are said to be:Ibrahim Saleh ‐ who died in Paris Mohammed Saleh ‐ who is being questioned by the police, and Abdeslam Saleh ‐ who is on the run. According to French newspaper Le Monde, the names of two of the three were found on the rental contracts for two cars used by the gunmen ‐ a grey Polo found near the Bataclan concert hall where 89 died and a black Seat used in gun attacks on at least two restaurants and which police discovered late on Saturday night.

It contained three loaded Kalashnikovs and a "black rucksack" whose contents are unknown. There were initial reports of eight attackers but only seven have died after six blew themselves up and another was shot dead by police. There are three Belgian cars implicated in the Paris attacks. One is a black Seat found near the Pere‐Lachaise cemetery in the French capital. The second is a grey Polo seized in front of the Bataclan on Saturday. The third is a grey Golf that was seized on Saturday night during police operations in an area of Brussels, which BFM TV said is believed to have been used by three individuals to go back from France to Belgium.

LOCAL TRIBUTES PAID – Several towns on the Costa Blanca paid tribute to the victims of the Paris attacks this weekend. See Suzanne O’Connnel’s report on page 4.

Continued from page 1 an attempt to bring terror to the UK was “highly likely”. Mr Cameron said the public should be “alert but not alarmed” and vowed to “wipe out” the so-called Islamic State (Isis) and its ideology. At least 103 of the 132 people who were killed in seven separate attacks across Paris have been identified. Briton Nick Alexander has been confirmed by family to have lost his life at the Bataclan, as a government source says "a handful" of others are

of him after that. Both engineers, the couple had been living in the French capital for the last two years. A 27-year-old woman with dual Spanish-Mexican nationality, Michelli Gil Jáimez, was killed in the attack on La Belle Equipe restaurant, Mexican officials have also confirmed. One other Spaniard is reported to be among the injured, according to the French embassy. Thirtynine-year-old IvánGarcía sustained minor injuries after attending the Bataclan concert. He had traveled

feared dead. Two young British students are apparently also among the dead. Four Spaniards are so far known to have been killed in the attacks.The latest victims to be confirmed by diplomatic sources are Jorge Alonso de Celada, 59, who died in one of the restaurants that was attacked, and Alberto Pardo Touceda, 34, who was killed at the Bataclan concert hall, which was the scene of the worst carnage on Friday night. The first Spanish victim to be named, 29-year-old Juan Alberto González who was originally from Granada, also died in the Bataclan, where he had been attending the concert by American rock band Eagles of Death Metal with his wife. The pair became separated during the attack: she is reported to have told family members that she saw him fall to the ground when the police entered the premises, but didn’t know if he had been hit by a bullet. She later saw him being put into an ambulance, but lost trace

to Paris from Madrid to visit three Spanish friends living there. The government has issued instructions to monitor the situation of all Spaniards currently in the French capital. The French president, François Hollande, says Islamic State (Isis) is to blame for the coordinated terror attack across Paris– the country’s worst terrorist atrocity. He says the attacks were an “act of war … prepared and planned elsewhere, with outside involvement which this investigation will seek to establish”. Hollande adds that France will be “ruthless in its response” and declares three days of national mourning. Islamic State releases a statement claiming responsibility for the attacks and threatens further attacks against France. The group says the killings were in response to airstrikes against its militants, adding France would remain a “key target”.

BITE SIZE It won’t be a silent NEWS: night after all! Activities for young people

On Saturday morning 5th December there will be opportunity for groups of friends and associations of young people between 14 and 35 years old to test their wits. They are being invited to participate in a ‘gymkhana’ or treasure hunt where participants must use their knowledge of Torrevieja and its culture and traditions. There will be a total of 15 teams of up to four participants in each. Teams can register from Monday 16th November at the CIAJ building on the Paseo Juan Aparicio, no.5. close to Burger King. Councillor for youth, Pablo Samper, explained at the presentation of the activity that there will be prizes including a trip to Port Aventura, adventure activities and sports equipment for the winning teams. All participants will receive a free selfie stick and there will be vouchers for drinks in local restaurants. If you would like to register you can be attending CIAJ www.ciaj.es

Improving access in Torrevieja The town council of Torrevieja has presented a bid to support a project to improve the mobility of pedestrians, cyclists, drivers and other users in Torrevieja. The project is particularly aimed at those with disabilities and is intended to improve access to disabled parking spaces and loading/ unloading. Continued on page 4

In previous years thousands of people have taken part in the concert which represents the true spirit of Christmas. It’s free to attend but usually sees many contributions to the charity collection. The concert will take place as usual in the Plaza de la Consitución and is expected to begin at 6.00pm. More details will be available closer to the day. As in previous years, the Costa Blanca People will include free song sheets in their issue out on 8th December. It’s also an opportunity to take a good

look at the Belén which has pride of place in the square over the Christmas period. The Belén is a traditional feature of most Spanish towns at this time of year and can be described as a very large nativity scene with some colourful added extras. The Christmas Carols in the Town Square has been taking placeheresince 2003 and is perhaps the best attended and most appreciated annual celebration. It would have been a great shame to have lost such an enjoyable part of the annual Torreviejan calendar.

Five minutes silence against terrorism and fanaticism ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL

suzanne@coastrider.net The events of the 13th November in Paris have sent shock waves throughout Europe as people empathise with those touched directly. As people seek to mark their own disgust individually via Facebook and other social media sites, others have done it collectively.

silence. After the five minutes some town’s people placed candles in front of the town hall. The mayor, José Manuel Dolon was visibly moved and said, ‘They have attacked everyone and everything, our institutions, our values, our freedom. They can do us harm, much harm, but they cannot defeat us. We must make that clear as democrats and Europeans.’

BITE SIZE NEWS: Continued from page 3 If the project goes ahead it will mean that there will be sensors to indicate whether parking spaces for the disabled are occupied or not. Sensors can also help in the detection of obstructions on ramps and walkways for disabled people. Additional sensors will be used to improve safety at 36 selected crossing points in the town centre where there is an increased risk of collision. Councillor Javier Manzanares explained that, ‘the sensors detect the approach of vehicles and actuate lights. This alerts pedestrians and other vehicles approaching from the side roads.’ The application for funding has been made to the European Structural Fund and has received the support of local business groups. Not all applications will be successful.

It’s Movember! Local councillors and civil servants pay their respects

Many events arranged for 14th November acknowledged the tragedy through a collective minutes silence. Local Town Halls such as that of Los Montesinos and Torrevieja invited local residents and visitors to come together. In Torrevieja local councillors, civil servants and some town’s people congregated in front of the town hall to mark their respects with five minutes

Those guilty of this atrocity, says the mayor, are not only attacking Europe and France but all good people of the world, whether they are Muslim, Catholic, Evangelist, Buddhist or of other religious or ideological creed. The Mayor then went on to invite the town’s people to congregate at 7.00 pm to show their repulsion at and rejection of this brutal attack.

Backlash at the number of fines issued by the police The town hall in Callosa de Segura has ordered that 55 out of 80 fines imposed by local police in one weekend should be annulled. The decision was taken after an avalanche of complaints had been received about the fines. The fines were issued during the weekend of the 19th to 21st June and investigators concluded that there was excessive and inconsistent practice. The reasons the fines were withdrawn included lack of identification of the offender with some fines being issued as a result of photographs taken with no clear evidence of the perpetrator. In some cases drivers were fined for parking in areas where there was insufficient and inadequate signage. Other fines included people parking in areas marked for the disabled. However, investigators found that these areas had been insufficiently marked out. Complaints were also upheld in relation to fines being applied for behaviour that had previously been allowed. Drivers leaving their cars in the paseo San Roque and other streets during the night had not previously been fined. Over the course of this weekend practice changed and fines were issued. The overall conclusion of the report was that from 6.00pm on the Thursday afternoon until early on Monday morning there had been an abnormal increase in fines by eleven officials leading to apublic outcry. Following this conclusion the town council were left with two choices. They could either annul all the fines issued during this period or rule out those which appeared to be outside normal practice. The council took the decision to sift through the fines and annul 55 of them, leaving 25 as legitimate. Suzanne O’Connell

Cancer is no respecter of gender. Awareness and fund raising often centre around the cancers associated with women such as breast and cervical caner. It’s important to remember that men are also vulnerable to testicular and prostrate cancer. In order to raise awareness of these two types of cancer, November has been re-named Movember and the moustache has become a symbol for this. It’s a global campaign that seeks to draw attention to the issue and encourage men to have regular check ups and to look after their health. It also covers wider issues such as mental health and the problems associated with being inactive. The campaign is making itself more visible through participants growing moustaches during November. Taking part by growing their own moustaches are Councillors Pablo Samper and Alejandro Blanco. They said; ‘we want to show our solidarity by raising awareness about a disease that can affect us all regardless of age and nationality. When people see that you are growing a moustache they ask why and this helps draw attention to the campaign.’ Movember is being described as the hairiest month ever and you can find out more about it from the Movember Foundation website which is in both Spanish and English www.es.movember.com/en The website invites you to sign up and get involved including by doing 30 moves in 30 days.

Changes to the Easter processions Changes have been announced by the town hall involving the familiar Cofradías or Brotherhoods that each contribute to the processions at Easter. In future instead of their being separate Brotherhoods individual associations must register as one. Further information about this and its implications will be shared at a meeting that’s been called on the 28th November at the Centro Cultural Virgen del Carmen.

Municipal Tourism Agency dissolved The Councillor for Tourism, Fanny Serrano has released a report urging Torrevieja council to dissolve the Municipal Tourism Agency. She has made this request due to the lack of activity of the agency which has done nothing since it was founded in April 2007.

Second emergency base to be put into operation A second base station that can operate in the case of an emergency is to be established in Torrevieja. The site will allow communication between emergency staff including local police, firefighters, civil defence and other volunteers if an emergency or disaster should occur. The new base station will ensure better coverage and reliability of the system and will be located in an elevated area. The date it becomes operational will depend upon some technical issues but it is not expected to

be more than six months from now.

Free text books agreed It has been approved by Torrevieja council that textbooks this year will be provided free for pupils in the town. About 7,000 students could benefit from this with subsidies of up to €200 for those students who return the books for others to use at the end of the year. The scheme will cost Torrevieja council €490,000 and the remaining money of the 1.4 million euros required will come from provincial and regional funding. There was a long debate in the run up to the decision with disagreements voiced between the ruling town council and the PP party. When agreement was finally reached it was applauded by the councillors.

The word after the game For those England supporters who did get to the match on Friday 13th November it wasn’t the result they were hoping for. However, it was a relief that the match seemed to go off without major incident and remained the ‘friendly’ it was supposed to be. However, if anyone was a little worried about the example that the football fans would set, they needn’t

have been. Instead it appears to be the British press who have been causing something of a stir in the Spanish press’ pre and post match coverage. Selección has reported that England has labelled the new Spanish strip as ‘vomited paella’. The new strip is perhaps a little unusual with a white background and red and yellow diamonds and triangles scattered on it. However, this publicised comment is not likely to endear the Spanish to their English football rivals. The new strips, were presented last Tuesday and Thursday andthis one has received a fair amount of criticism. However, it was the British press whose description of it has received most attention. It was also reported in some parts of the Spanish pressthat the English team blamed the quality of the Alicante pitch for their defeat.The comment that seems to have led to this allegation was made by Joe Hart, the England Captain. He said; ‘Strange how we’ve ended up playing on a third division pitch. I’m not blaming the pitch but it was strange.’ The friendly match between England and Spain had been moved to the Hercules ground, Jose Rico Perez stadium, from the Bernabeu stadium in Madrid. The venue was changed early in Septemberin order to avoid the embarrassing booing of the player Pique following the whistling and heckling that took place in León and Oviedo. Although it might have seemed a strange decision to move the venue from Madrid to Alicante at least it provided opportunity for some local people to see the match. A result that was unlikely to have been very much different whatever the quality of the pitch had been. Suzanne O’Connell

Remembrance Day concert wows sell-out audience Last Sunday a huge concert was held in the Centro Ecumenico church, La Zenia. It was mounted by two of the leading choirs on the Costa, the Orihuela Costa Male Voice Choir and the chamber choir 'In Harmony', both trained and conducted by Nigel Hopkins. The event was held in support of the Royal British Legion, Orihuela Costa branch and the church building fund, both of whom received at least â&#x201A;Ź1,000 each from the proceeds of the concert. Both choirs were on top form, both singing an entire new repertoire. In Harmony started off the evening with the Elizabethan Serenade and Dream A Dream, to the tune of Faure's Pavane. There followed a medley of songs from Les Miserables sung by the Male Voice Choir, during which the guest soloist Janelle Gaskell gave a superb rendition of On My Own, and choir soloist Graham Cooke delighted with Stars. The evening continued in great style

Tourist Office robbery The Councillor for Tourism, Sofia Alvarez, confirmed on Friday that the Tourist Office, located in the Plaza de la Soledad in Orihueal had been robbed in the early hours of the morning. The glass door had been smashed, the office was ransacked and the TV monitor stolen. The Councillor said that the Judicial Police had initiated an investigation of the scene to collect fingerprints and clues in order to identify those responsible. The Council also approved provisional repairs which were completed during Friday, which allowed the office to be back up and running over the weekend.

Of particular note was the launching of the professional career of 18 year old singing sensation, Verity Hall, who thrilled the enthralled audience with both Vilia, from the Merry Widow and later the operatic showstopper O Mio Babbino Caro (O My Beloved Father). This talented singer, who is under the personal tutelage of Nigel Hopkins, showed that she has a great professional future ahead of her in years to come. Nigel Hopkins kept his secret weapon till near the end of the concert when he introduced the soprano Mary Beer who sang, along with the ladies of In Harmony, the enigmatic Nun's Chorus from Casanova by Johann Strauss. Mary soared above the chorus with the incredible descant made so famous by the worldfamous soprano Joan Sutherland. One appreciative audience member declared afterwards that she 'thought the gates of

heaven had opened' when she heard the piece. Not only did Nigel conduct and compere the whole performance, but he also sang two beautiful songs, I Believe and Bless This House, to tumultuous applause. The concert ended with both choirs singing Nigel's arrangement of Let There Be Peace on Earth which brought the entire audience to their feet in a lengthy standing ovation. In Harmony is now rehearsing for their annual Christmas Concert in La Zenia church on Sunday 13th December. Tickets are now on sale at La Ponderosa gift shop at La Zenia.

Bob bows out of CLARO top spot Bob Houliston has stepped down as president of local political party CLARO. The announcement was made at the organisations 10th Annual General Meeting held on Friday 13th November. The meeting was well attended and positive; adopting innovative plans for the future and electing a new President. Bob steps down after nine years at the helm, having steered the party through numerous highs and lows including gaining CLARO a place on the local government team and taking the title of Councillor for the Coast and a number of short-lived and non-too successful alliances with CLR and the PP. Paul Piccio was elected new President,however Bob will remain a member of the Executive Committee.Paul Piccio is a well-known businessman in Orihuela Costa. He has an international background and is bilingual, speaking Spanish and English. Another party veteran and leading figure in local charities, Norah Bond also stood down, making way Paulina Wysokinska. Paulina is very involved in Orihuela Costa’s social activities including the La Zenia church and Parents Association. She is fluent in several languages including English and Spanish. Other decisions made at the meeting included dropping CLARO’s strap line‘Party for Orihuela Costa’. It was agreed that some of the party’s lack of success in the last municipal elections was due to the official name and the description on the voting forms of CLARO as“Party for Orihuela Costa” was used by opponents to smear the party as separatist and uninterested in other parts of the municipality with a consequent loss of potential voters. CLARO missed securing representation in the new Town Council by

the narrow margin of some 30 votes. The strap line will now be removed from all CLARO documentation and campaigns. It was also acknowledged that the main reason for not doing as well as hoped for was low voter participation by non-Spanish residents. It remains a challenge for the new president and his committee to motivate residents on the coast to realise that in return for voting they would receive much more adequate and sufficient services and investment in the local community. It was agreed that the weekly Friday meetings, open to all, which take place at the Asturias Restaurant,will in future also be used to enable guest speakers - hopefully once a month - to address issues of interest and concern to those living on the coast. The programme of speakers will include representatives of local charities, campaign organisations like the Pink Ladies, a representative of the Residential Care Home in Villamartin, newspaper editors, environmental organisations and real estate agents. The first speaker, on a date to be announced, would be a representative of the Guardia Civil Traffic

Corps. These Friday Forums will be in English and where possible also Spanish. In addition, at least once a month, the Friday meetings would take place in different parts of the coast and would be informal and social in character, not political; such as ‘Tapas and Chat’ events. Finally, to underline CLAROs strong commitment to social welfare on the coastit was agreed to hold an important,annual fund-raising event for the charities and social groups who do so much for those living on the coast. This debate was also marked by resentment and indignation at the fact that Orihuela Costa with a population greater than that of Orihuela city, which increases to some 250,000 during the summer months and to which must be added the thousands of visitors daily to La Zenia Boulevard, still lacks a 24 hour local Police Station and locally based ambulance and fire service. There was outrage that at least three recent deaths on the coast have been associated with delays in the arrival of an ambulance. The AGM demanded action on this as a major priority.

Coachtrips S.L. Spain welcomes first refugees DaSeevouridfull´sprogramme & book online at www.coachtripsonline.com from its European quota or call direct on (00 34) 966 785 910 The first group of refugees to be officially accepted by Spain as part of a European deal to relocate 160,000 asylum seekers across the continent arrived at Madrid airport recently. The 12 individuals – 11 from Eritrea and one from Syria – are the first members of an initial contingent of 50 refugees whom Spain has agreed to take in. Seven more Eritreans who had been greenlighted for travel to Spain refused to board the flight, and demanded to be flown to Germany instead. The flight landed at 9.30pm at Adolfo SuárezMadrid Barajas airport, where the refugees were

greeted by Spain’s secretary of state for security, Francisco Martínez, and by the general secretary for migration issues, Marina del Corral. Hours earlier, Interior Minister Jorge Fernández Díaz made a statement in Barcelona, where he said that the government’s goal was not just to accept the refugees but to ensure that they became an integrated part of society by offering them “all kinds of attention: healthcare, education, training for the job market...” With this move, Spain becomes one of the first five European countries to begin the relocation process agreed by the European Union earlier this year. In early September, the Spanish government

announced that it would accept the nearly 15,000 refugees that the European Commission allocated to it. The Spanish government is planning to resettle 854 asylum seekers before the end of the year. Non-profit groups will take charge of the new arrivals and help cover their basic needs, said the Interior Ministry in a release on Sunday evening. Although these migrants are the first contingent from the official quota of refugees accepted by Spain, there was a precedent in mid-September, when a Syrian family arrived in Madrid after making global headlines. Son Osama Abdul Mohsen, a Syrian refugee who became famous when he was purposely tripped up by a Hungarian TV camera operator on 8th September, was sponsored by Spain’s National Soccer Coach Training Center and brought to the Madrid suburb of Getafe to settle with two of his sons. Three of the Eritreans will move to the Basque Country, where the regional government has expressed a willingness to accept around 1,000 refugees fleeing the war zones. “All agencies have made an effort, without turning this into a political issue, thinking simply about the people,” said the Basque executive’s chief of family policies, José Luis Madrazo, adding that he was surprised at how slow things were moving. “It’s odd that only three people can come,” he noted. But slowness has been a trait of all resettlement efforts in Europe. By early November, only 86 migrants had traveled from Italy to Sweden and Finland. The rest remain caught up in bureaucratic red tape. In theory, all 160,000 refugees should be in their new homes within the next two years.

Guardamar goes to Glasgow Guardamar and Benidorm have been flying the flag for Spanish tourism in front of potential English, Irish and Scottish holidaymakers. With its presence in Glasgow, Guardamar concludes its participation in three tourism fairs aimed at over-50s audiences in the UK and Ireland. The first exhibition was held in London between 14th and 15th July, the second held in Dublin from 9th to

11th October and the last taking place in Glasgow between 11th and 12th November. Guardamar and Benidorm joined forces on one stand as part of the Costa Blanca’s Provincial Tourism offer. The regional tourism organisation has given absolute prominence to these tow municipalities, as they have been the only ones who have taken part in the whole initiative from start to finish.

Luckily for all those municipalities that have taken part in any of the three tourism fairs, they have all proven really popular attracting a huge number of visitors from both the tourism trade and potential private customers.

Commemorating remembrance day in Torrevieja The Mayor, Jose Manual Dolon, along with councillors Pablo Samper, Alejandro Blanco and Carmen Morate, participated in Remembrance Day with the British community on 11th November. The mayor placed a crown of traditional poppies at the monument to commemorate this day in the Evangelical Church at La Siesta. The event is organised by the veterans of the Royal British Legion and is attended by representatives of the various British armies. The remembrance service took place against a backdrop of warm November sunshine. Before the service Gerry Lynch, branch chairman, and members of the branch committee welcomed members of the Torrevieja Town Hall Council and staff. All of the local ex-service associations, together with other associations and lodges were well represented. The Church Centre was full to capacity with most of the outside seating taken too. The Torrevieja Pipes and Drums led the parade of the National and Legion Standards to the Church Centre entrance accompanied by the ex-service association standards.

The service was led and conducted by Father Andrew Rea of the Anglican Chaplaincy and Ian Gibson, ‘Just Brass’, sounded The Last Post and Reveille. Passages from the Bible were read by Gill Burden, branch lady president, and councillor Carmen Morate. The homily was given by Father Richard Seabrook SSC who is the newly appointed Torrevieja Anglican Chaplain. The national anthems of both Spain and the UK as well as the music for hymns were played by Ivan Cottrell, the church organist. After the service was over everyone proceeded to the Garden of Remembrance where a lone piper played laments whilst wreaths were laid by the Mayor, Jose Manuel Dolon, the Royal British Legion, the exservice and other associations. Many individuals also paid their personal respects and tributes by laying their own wreaths, poppy garlands and crosses. It was generally acknowledged to be a poignant and memorable Remembrance Service and thanksgiving. Suzanne O’Connell

When the lights go out As the winter nights draw in earlier so a growing number of people in some parts of the city are finding that they’re walking home in darkness. Problems with the street lighting have been cropping up on urbanisations around the town and this is causing real concern for residents. Danny, at Pinada Blinds in San Luis, has particular concerns about the lack of lighting on the streets Calle Lejona and Calle Hijar in San Luis.

they have no streets lights, a council spokesperson said that they are encouraging people to register the problem at the PROP office. The forms are being collected and handed to those responsible for the maintenance of the lighting infrastructure. In the meantime Danny has been helping out with an alternative source of lighting – his car headlights. ‘I’ve used my car headlights a few times to help people see where they’re going,’ he said. ‘It

When the area is pitch black they also feel more vulnerable to burglaries. ‘There does seem to have been an increase in burglaries recently,’ says Danny. ‘One couple have been burgled twice and whilst they’ve been in at night.’ With Christmas coming up and the rise in crime that often accompanies it, residents are even more anxious that their lights should be turned back on.

PRACTICAL FINANCIAL ADVICE

What do you feel when you hear the term ‘financial planning’? Excited about tackling the next stages of your life with confidence or apprehensive perhaps because you may find out things you didn’t want to know? When dealing with unfamiliar subjects many individuals reach for a reference guide, often Google! Our experience is that financial planning is as individual and important an issue as financial security and independence and there can be no ‘off-the-shelf’ instruction manual. As a result, financial strategies may often be developed and based on fear, misinformation from sales agents or ignorance, which rarely leads to any positive outcomes. As a result people are left feeling very frustrated, short-changed and fearful about their long-term financial security. Our view is that no one knows as much as you about your finances as you do. As such you need to be the Chief Executive of your own financial destiny and a financial adviser should act as your Chief Financial Officer, using their professional knowledge to help to inform, advise and guide you to develop your own financial road map based on your specific situation, attitude to different risk levels, your objectives and your adviser’s understanding of taxation, budgeting, investment skills, forecasting, product types/availability and financial planning. The finance field is in a constant state of flux and if you are to receive creditable advice about your investments, the financial adviser needs to have current, up-to-date information. How do they go about getting this? Do they take refresher courses? Are they going to pass this information on to you at regular intervals so you have background information on advice? Many financial advisers are little more than glorified personal shoppers, flitting here and there to find off-the-shelf financial products to sell to you. In some cases this may be exactly what you want but in other cases you may want to benefit from an adviser’s trade discounts or have a detailed financial plan created with coherent objectives and cash flow planning. The key is to make sure that both the expertise and service you expect is actually delivered and right for you.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE We have yet again seen the European single currency suffer over the course of the week, and it was always going to be on the back foot following the freakishly strong US nonfarm payrolls delivered on the prior Friday afternoon, with a reading of 271,000 jobs created and a US unemployment rate dipping to 5%. This news saw a strong US dollar rally, with such positive data being interpreted as supportive of a December interest rate lift off decision for the Federal Reserve. The markets are getting ever more confident that Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen will hike in December rather than wait until the new year. During the week the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) revised down global growth prospects, with an acknowledgement the trade growth has been slowing to levels associated with a global recession. The OECD also pointed the finger at Greece and its inability to help drive home taxation reforms. The Greeks need to bring their house in order quickly or face the prospect of not receiving their next tranche of bailout funds due shortly. Portugal was also in the news this week owing to the possibility that a left wing coalition government may be formed with the likelihood that hard won austerity measures imposed over recent years may come under pressure to be unwound. Portuguese sovereign bond yields rose as investors become rather nervous with such

an outcome. European Central Bank President Mario Draghi was mainly responsible for the Euro slide lower as he reiterated that EU inflation expectations are again on a downward path. This helped to drive market consensus that further additional stimulus measures will be implemented come the December meeting. The Euro/USD did dip briefly below €1.07 to trade at €1.0670, its lowest levels since April this year. This pair was not able to probe deeper with the rate of exchange mostly remaining for the rest of the week in a range capped between at €1.08 and €1.07. From a UK perspective the British pound managed to gain further ground. UK retail sales were rather unimpressive having posted their weakest monthly reading since October 2008. Sterling did however get a strong boost as the UK unemployment rate posted an improvement to 5.3% down from 5.4. The rate of wage growth inflation did dip slightly from 2.8% to 2.6%, however total pay climbed during the 3 months being measured by 3% as bonuses surged. The GBP/ € rate climbed above 1.42 very briefly on the back of such positive news. There was little major data released from the US. Friday afternoon saw a disappointing US retail sales report with purchases up just 0.1% on a month earlier. No doubt shoppers are gearing up for the big splurge coming in November, with Black Friday in their sights.

Pre-winter improvements made to sewers

Town met country The Town Meets Country event on the 14th November was the first of its kind. The Spanish weather was not at its best but the crowds certainly turned out to enjoy this fun-day in the heart of Torrevieja. There wasn’t a field in sight but there were plenty of dogs of all breeds and varieties and lots of showground displays and activities. The ground opened at 10.00 am and to kick off proceedings the Guardia Civil had brought along a dog specially trained to locate drugs. A simulated vehicle stop and search took place in the arena with the sniffer dog tracking down the drugs hidden in a suitcase. The crowd was entertained by the agility displays as a number of different dogs of all sizes negotiated a range of obstacles encouraged by their owners. Although dogs were in abundance, they weren’t the only animals on display. The fun day included a horse display with Emma Tytherleigh and a falconry display; not activities you would expect to see just off the Cortes Valencianas in the centre of Torrevieja. BIG FM’s Richie provided music and helped to compare the day. Alongside the entertainment there were a number of stalls, an eating area and a vet was on site to inspect the animals. This was particularly important to support what was perhaps the key feature of the day; ‘Adopt a Pet’. Town Meets Country was originally born from the need to find homes and support for the dogs currently housed in the town’s dog pound. ‘We’re aiming to raise awareness,’ explains Gina Marks of GM Promotions, who coordinated the

day. ‘The dogs at the pound need homes and this was the original motivation for the event which is raising money for albergue Municipal.’ Councillor Carmen Morate was there to introduce the dogs who were paraded around the ring whilst describing them to potential adopters. Fostering or adoption could take place on the day as a vet was present to complete the process. However, for those who needed more time to consider the possibility, Carmen explained that the dogs can also be seen at the pound itself close to Carrefour. ‘I’m delighted with the turn out,’ says Gina who’s perhaps better known for the Homes and Gardens events she organises. The next one of these will be on the 11th and 12th March at the Denia Marriott Hotel near Javea. With the level

in Orihuela, Juan Jose Alonso. Councillor Fernandez said that besides these works, the Town Hall plans five more renovation projects for sanitation facilities to be undertaken during the final quarter of the year. These projects will all be financed by the fund to modernise the sewage network, which is provided to Hidraqua each year. Likewise, Fernandez said that ‘the scope of this investment package includes the entire municipality, the city of Orihuela, the districts and Orihuela Costa and is a total investment 510,581.90 euros’. For his part, Juan Jose Alonso reported that ‘the renovation of the collector at Cabo Roig is progressing according to the planned schedule and will be completed by the last week of November, while the other five works projects will begin in the

residents such as El Camino de Enmedio, Vereda Salazar and the neighbourhoods of El Arenal and Tres Puentes. Sewerage renewals will be completed in Avda. Marqués de Lacy, Calle Gabriel Miró and Calle Juan XXIII. The projects will see the existing network of concrete replaced in several streets in the hamlet of Murada as concrete has a tendency to wear and deteriorate. Finally the work will see the disconnection of the existing rainwater pipes in the Calle Violinista Anton Roche which are connected to the waste water or sewage system. These will then be replaced and connected to the separate rainwater collection network that runs through Avda. De la Vega. This will minimise the inconvenience to residents in terms of the water accumulation during heavy rainfall.

Persimon (Diospyros kaki) is a “new” fruit to me. It's odd - looks more like a tomato than an exotic fruit. The taste, however, is exquisite. Refreshingly sweet, the stone-free flesh resembles that of mangoes and peaches which is something of a surprise from a thing that so closely resembles a tomato...

FRUIT:

The Persimon has a gorgeous yellowy orange coloured skin that is easily peeled away to reveal the sweet orange flesh. The word Diospyros means “the fruit of the gods” in ancient Greek. Best eaten fresh, it livens up any fruit salad with its bright colour and sweet taste, but can also be used in a range of recipes ranging from meat based dishes to desserts. “Persimon” or “KAKI Persimon” is the flavoursome Spanish variety (and

registered trade mark) of the traditional, classic Kaki, or Persimmon (with a double ‘m’), which also includes the Sharon fruit. It is grown in Spain in the Ribera del Xúquer valley in the Valencia region, where it is DO certified. So when growing our own, I guess we will have to call them persimmons with two m’s. The Persimmon tree, also known as Kaki, is native to China and Japan, where it has been cultivated for centuries. It was introduced to Europe and California in the mid-19th century. In Europe, it is commercially grown in Italy, Spain and the south of France, but it is still most common in the Far East. It is a multi-trunked or single-stemmed deciduous tree reaching a size of up to ten meters (30 ft.). The 2-2.5 cm wide flowers appear in the spring. Trees are typically either male or female, but some produce both types of flowers. Furthermore, the sexual expression of a tree may vary from year to year. It is a handsome ornamental with drooping leaves and branches that give it a languid, rather tropical appearance.

Persimmon trees typically do not bear until they are 3 to 6 years old. There are many varieties of persimmon fruits depending on the country they are grown in, but they are basically divided into two categories: Astringent persimmons must be jelly soft before they are fit to eat, but if you leave them on the tree to soften and improve in quality, you will probably lose many fruits to the birds. So harvest when they are hard but fully coloured - they will ripen off the tree if stored at room temperature (and even quicker if they are placed in a plastic bag, together with an apple). Freezing the fruit overnight and then thawing softens the fruit and also removes the astringency. Non-astringent persimmons: This variant of persimmon usually has seeds inside while the outside is firm in nature. A non-astringent persimmon can be eaten when it is crisp as an apple. Non-astringent persimmons are ready to harvest when they are fully coloured, but for best flavour allow them to soften slightly after harvest. Even though the fruit is relatively hard when harvested, it will bruise easily, so handle with care. The non-astringent variety of persimmon has a crispy feel to it while the astringent variety is famous for its soft pulpy nature.

partial shade. Soil: Persimmons can withstand a wide range of conditions as long as the soil is not overly salty, but does best in deep, well drained loam. A pH range of 6.5 to 7.5 is preferred. The tree has a strong tap root which may mean digging a deeper hole than usual when planting. Irrigation: Persimmon trees will withstand short periods of drought, but the fruit will be larger and of higher quality with regular watering. Extreme drought will cause the leaves and fruit to drop prematurely. Fertilization: Most trees do well with a minimum of fertilizing. Excess nitrogen can cause fruit drop. If mature leaves are not deep green and shoot growth is less than a foot per year, apply a balanced fertilizer such as a 10-10-10. Spread the fertilizer evenly under the canopy in late winter or early spring. Pruning: Prune persimmon trees to develop a strong framework of main branches while the tree is young. Otherwise the fruit, which is borne at the tips of the branches, may be too heavy and cause breakage. Even though the trees grow well on their own, persimmons can be pruned heavily as a hedge, as a screen, or to control size. They even make a nice espalier.

Location: Persimmons do best in areas that have moderate winters and relatively mild summers. Full sun with some air movement is recommended although they will tolerate some

In China, persimmon has been cultivated since time immemorial and is considered to have four virtues: it lives long, it gives a large area of shade, it is used by the birds as a nesting place, and it is not attacked by pests. As with all fruit, persimmons have plenty of nutritional and health

CULTURE

benefits. Not only do persimmons have twice as much fibre as an apple, they also contain high levels of vitamin A and C, antioxidants, calcium, potassium, iron and magnesium. The Japanese and Chinese credit the persimmon with being able to lower blood pressure, reducing the risk of clogging in the arteries, and often use them to treat the effects of a stroke. And if all this is not enough to convince you to try one, the fruit is believed to be an alternative hangover cure. Drinking persimmon juice is widely believed to lower the density of alcohol in the blood. What a splendid way to start the “morning after”… Marc Vijverberg

DO YOU WANT A SAFE AND COLOURFUL POOL OR PLAY AREA? WE PROVIDE THE PERFECT SOLUTION Active Surfaces have many years of experience laying Wet Lay rubber surfacing to pools, children’s play areas and sports arenas all over Europe.Fully legal and compliant we promise to provide a no quibble quotation and no hidden extras. Our fully experienced Supervisor (Alan) will be in attendance with our installation team. His hands on experience will ensure the surface you have purchased will be completed to the highest standards. Meeting your individual needs we visit your area to discuss your requirements in detail and according to your budget. We explain the benefits of the rubber safety surfacing product making sure the right choice is made. We will show you our samples and will happily present to communities if required. Wet pour surfacing is a mixture of rubber granules bound together by a polyurethane resin and laid on an existing tarmac, concrete, tile or MOT type 1 stone base to provide a continuous rubber surface free from seams or joints. We lay to a depth of 15-20mm and carefully measure the quantities of Latex added to ensure the surface is fully bound and will last for years. There is normally no need to tear up and rebuild thus preventing long term works and disruption. Our rubber is available in 19 coloursand can also be mixed to provide different effects. Ask us to

show you the full range of colours from our samples. Designs and logos and even games can be incorporated into your surface and we include pool depth numbers in contrasting colours for pools. However the more complicated the design, the more time it will take to carry out the installation.This is because each level of colour requires a full 24 hours to dry. Let your imagination run wild. Ask to see our catalogue of readymade designs which can be included in your surface whilst being laid thus reducing installation time. Tolerant to high temperatures it will not be affected by the summer temperatures here in Spain with the added luxury of being able to walk bare foot without burning your feet! You can also feel secure knowing your family, friends or even clients will be less likely to sustain injuries through falls as there are never any sharp or hard edges. If there is any earth movement then rubber is flexible enough to move with it and is unlikely to crack and split. Fully UV resistant your pool or play area will retain its colour for many years. Any repairs or add ons can be matched exactly and so you can be sure that there will be no “discontinued” issues as is often the case with tiled surfaces. Very easy to clean, marks can be easily removed

and the surface can be jet washed. The product will not harbour bacteria or fungus. We have clients here on the Costa who are willing to allow us to show you their new surface. Just call us to arrange a visit. We also have an area in our premises. This product could help prevent accident claims which in turn may help keep insurance costs down (speak with your insurers about this). Bars, Clubs and communities would benefit enormously by using this surface around their pool or play areas knowing that their clients are less likely to sustain serious injuries through slips or falls. The surface will last for many years with our 5 year labour guarantee plus a 10 year manufacturer’s warranty you can be sure your surface will remain for many years to come with very low maintenance. There is evidence of some surfaces still in good condition after 25 years of use. The surface is also

suitable for many other areas such as Golf Tee off points and pathways, 5 a side football pitches, terraces; in fact anywhere a safe, hard wearing nonslip surface is required. Our client requested a border with a mix of natural colours to provide a textured look to the surface. He chose a mix of beige, brown and terracotta for the main area with a highlighted border in Terracotta which resulted in a stunning and natural looking finish to his pool area. Our client wanted his terrace brightening up and wanted to match the patterns on the exterior wall. He also wanted a defined pathway. Discussing his requirements and with our range of colours at hand he chose a light grey with a dark grey to define the path and bright orange for the diamonds.The installation was carried out by our team and the client was delighted with the end result. This area is available to view by appointment. Just call Rob on 00 34

662 67 94 67 to arrange a visit. Wet lay rubber can be applied to any hard surface and so if you are having a new pool built why not choose wet lay rubber as your surface. We are Happy to announce that we have adopted DEBRA Childrens Charity as our preferred Charity and will be supporting them in Fund Raising efforts along with assisting as required in providing safe surfaces for Children with EB.

‘You Can’t Be Serious’ is a weekly tongue in cheek look at the world through Bernie Comaskey’s eyes. With kind permission of the Westmeath Examiner.

bernie.comaskey@gmail.com

HOW TO BE PERFECTLY MISERABLE In the past, this column has set out to help people become, happy, positive, healthy, rich and slim. All very worthy causes, indeed; but there is a group of people out there, whom nobody bothers to cater for and it is time that somebody gave a few tips to those who wish to be miserable. Once again I am the man to fill the breach. The following is my blue-print for those who choose to be miserable and more importantly, have no wish to be cured. Let’s start with the question you will be asked several times to-day; “how are you?” Never admit to being well. If there is something you would like to do for yourself – and only for yourself, mind you, you can rise to being “just middling’”, but don’t be “good enough” unless someone can make it worth your while. When you get out of bed in the morning, start the day as you intend to continue, by thinking about yourself. As often as you can during the day, talk about yourself and use “I” at every opportunity. Mirror

yourself continually in the opinion of others and seek greedily to find out what they are saying about you. Expect to be appreciated by all of these people and feel free to sulk. Be suspicious: For example, you know that all that shower over the GAA are only in it for what they can get out of it and that Westmeath are further away from winning anything than ever before. The same gang of crooks will get reelected to government – and even if they don’t sher they’re all the same anyway.

The world dealt you a lousy hand and you have every right to be jealous and envious. Any successful person is either a “hungry hoor” or steeped in luck. Always have your list of reasons why it didn’t work for you ready and name and shame those who screwed you up. Don’t let anyone suggest failure was any part your fault and be very, very sensitive to slights. If somebody does manage to land a criticism on you, never forgive them. Trust is something you know a thing or two about, so you have

learned to trust nobody but yourself. Never forget all the reasons why you arrived at this decision. Insist on consideration and respect. You didn’t get where you are today by letting these types walk on you. Demand agreement with your own views on everything. Sulk if necessary. Acquire new sulk if people not grateful to you for favours shown them and never forget a service you may have rendered. Be on the lookout for a good time for yourself, at little or no cost to you. Always remember, it is well due to you and in fact, barely what you deserve. Shirk any duties or responsibilities you can. Let someone else do it, for a change. Likewise, do nothing for anyone, because you never get a bit of thanks for it. If you are in love with anyone, make sure it is yourself – the only person worthy of it. Better still, go for it and love yourself supremely. In this day and age, you have to be selfish, or be taken advantage of, so don’t even hide trying to be more selfish.

Have your own list of conversation topics ready and don’t allow anyone else to say much. Start every sentence with either; “I think”, or “I feel”, or better still “I know”. ‘I think The British knew what they were doing when they pulled out of this country.’ ‘I feel you would still be able to buy a house for £3,000 (now there was real money) if they hadn’t railroaded us into the EEC’. ‘I know religion is all a cod.’ Now, you have more than enough tips here to keep you going. Cut out this column and keep it as a reference, if you can – but you know well that someone will dump it, or burn it, or just lose it on you.

Do it tomorrow -you've made enough mistakes today!

Studio 32 invite you along ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL

suzanne@coastrider.net Studio 32’s pantomime Dick Whittington lived up to expectations. This theatre group have already made a name for themselves and their performance on 14th November showed how well they work together and the professionalism of their production. This was a matinee and there were plenty of children in the audience giving the pantomime a true Christmas feel. Sweets thrown into the auditorium certainly warmed the children up even more and by the time it came to audience participation there was plenty of ‘bobbing up and down’ and competition to sing the loudest. The many traditional elements alongside one or two more unusual special effects made it a very good family afternoon out. The group has some very competentindividual performers as well

as an excellent team behind the scenes and front of stage. It’s good to see that they have attracted some younger members and Verity Jo Spencer-Hall is a very strong solo singer. Perhaps particularly noteworthy, however, ispirate Jack Hawk, Adrian Boardman, who became an immediate favourite with his camp performance. Jenni Hardy-Rooney,played a very good Dame and didn’t disappoint with her outrageous outfits. The Dame, along with Barrow Boy Billy, Bev McEwan, kept the humour going well. Karen Love was a rat to be reckoned with and a nice twist at the end came as she masqueraded as Mrs Thatcher standing for election as mayor. Nip and Tuck, Judith O’Neill and Jacob Baylis, led the rat pack convincingly and a particularly strong scene was when the rats sneak into the ‘Mean Vic’ Public House and eventually open the safe. Patches the Cat, Alice Joy Wakeford is to be congratulated on her very good sense of timing and ability to spend over

two hours on her knees. Dick Whittington, Susanne Sayers, manages to win over Alice Fitzwarren, the daughter of the local Alderman, Dianne Oliver, with true pantomime speed and brings the performance to a very satisfying happy-ever-after conclusion. The Spirit of London, Pam Sutton and solo singer Tony Whitbread, kept the pantomime flowing with cockney rhyming slang and song. Although all these individuals have deserved a mention the townsfolk, pirates and sailors collectively were a strength of this entertaining pantomime ably directed by Susan Zillah Wilson. Your chance to get involved If you’re wondering how you could get involved in a production like Dick Whittington then Studio 32 are offering the opportunity to find out more. They will be holding an Open Day for their summer musical ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ on Wednesday November 18th at 4.00pm at Casa Ventura in San Luis. You are welcome to come along, find

out more about the show and the Studio32 musical theatre company. There will be audition pieces and character guidelines and you can ask questions about the show. The theatre company are particularly keen to recruit men who might be interested in either a leading role or being part of the chorus. The Fiddler on the Roof will be performed at the CardenalBelluga Theatre in San

Fulgencio from Wednesday 1st June to Saturday 4th June 2016. The auditions will take place at Casa Ventura, San Luis on Wednesday 25th November at 3.00pm and Sunday 29th November at 11.00am. If you are interested in an audition you must register this interest before Sunday 22nd November. Find out more about Studio 32 from their website www.studiothirtytwo.org

Catalunya approves independence and starts work on 'national' laws Catalunya’s regional Parliament has approved its plan for secession from Spain despite votes against by the PP, socialists, centre-right independents Ciudadanos, and its left-wing opposite Podemos, or Catalunya Sí Que Es Pot. However, opposition votes were not necessary, since pro-independence parties Junts pel Sí and CUP together hold a majority – although to govern as such they will need to agree on whether or not the former's number four and current president Artur Mas will continue in office. The result of the debate has created a political frenzy in the rest of Spain, with most parties in the national government being dead against the move. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy says it 'will not happen' and that by applying the law of the country, secession could not go ahead. His polar opposite and main election rival Pedro Sánchez (PSOE, or socialists) said CUP and Junts pel Sí had 'betrayed the people of Catalunya', both those who do not want to live in a separate

country and those who have been led to believe they do but who will have to face serious consequences. These consequences would mean Catalunya losing its place in the European Union and the United Nations, trade barriers and increased import and export duties, and natives needing visas to visit other countries. Mas and his party leader Raúl Romeva insist they will not end up in a position where residents in Catalunya 'need to have a different passport' or have to show it to leave the region, or future country. The new regional Parliamentary resolution says Catalunya will no longer be subject to Spain's laws or to its Constitutional Court, and will cease to be 'subordinate' to the mother country. Mas says the resolution in itself is 'a solemn declaration' of the 'start of a process' towards the creation of 'an independent Republic of Catalunya'. He says the process will include three basic 'disconnection' laws being drafted in the next 30 days – one on the

'constitutional plan', one on Social Security and one on Treasury and taxation. Later, laws on 'energy poverty' – residents who are unable to afford water and electricity – education, splitting away from the recentlyeffective law passed by former minister José Ignacio Wert, and on other issues such as 'taking in the maximum number of refugees' will be worked on. Furthermore, the new Republic of Catalunya will guarantee homes for anyone whose own property has been repossessed, equality between men and women, and the right to an abortion.

Plan implementation The resolution means the independence plan will be formally communicated to the Spanish State, the European Union and the 'international community', such as the UN and other bodies. Whether or not Catalunya can legally get away with a unilateral declaration of

Artur Mas

independence is another matter, and one which has seen every side of the political fence in the Spanish government putting aside their differences in order to discuss what it considers to be a sovereignty crisis. Rajoy and Sánchez, arch-rivals at the ballot boxes, are due to meet to talk the issue through. However, they may be jumping the gun, since Mas has already hinted that he would block his own independence

process if CUP and the rest of Junts pel Sí do not vote for him to be president in the forthcoming in-house elections, which always follow a national, regional or local poll. CUP believes Junts pel Sí leader Raúl Romeva would be a better option, since 'to form a coalition one cannot speak of black and white' but that in their view, Romeva is 'the grey area'. It appears unlikely Mas will agree to this.

Basic food items rocket in price percent. The reason behind this is that the intense heat experienced this summer has resulted in a crop of lemons, oranges, mandarins and clementines that are ugly looking, deformed and therefore much harder to sell.

increased two euro from seven or eight euro per kilo to eight or nine. The USA is the world’s largest producer of almonds and its story is similar to that of Spain’s with the heat, drought and extreme temperatures this summer causing a loss of many crops.

Tomatoes The tomato is generally much cheaper to buy at this time of the year, but for the same reasons as for citrus fruits, tomatoes are now selling at 25 percent more than usual, more in line with winter prices. In autumn, tomatoes generally sell for 80 or 90 cents per kilo, but currently cost as much as 1.30 euro per kilo. Most of us will remember the summer of 2015 as one of the hottest and most uncomfortable in history. Whilst we may have been sweltering at work and at home, for those that depend on the weather for their livelihood, the situation was a lot worse. With scorching sun, temperatures the highest on record and a massive shortage of rain, many crops were destroyed this summer. Add to that a higher demand than before from emerging markets and there is a problem. As a result, some products that we find in our supermarkets and buy on a weekly basis have shot up in price. Farmers have had to increase their prices in order to make up for the loss of their failed crops, and most supermarkets have passed these rises onto the customer. Below are the seven products that you can expect to rise in price this autumn:

Olive oil Olive oil, the basis of Spanish cooking, is now being sold at prices never seen before. Refined olive oil is currently 51 percent more expensive that in was this time last year, and extra virgin olive oil is 50 percent higher than three years ago. Last year, manufacturers produced a record 1.8 million litres of the stuff, as opposed to just 840,000 litres this year, one of the worst efforts on record. This year’s poor results were reflected in supermarket prices at the end of September and are expected to be high until next year.

Citrus fruit According to data from the Department of Agriculture, the price of oranges has gone up 15 percent over the last year. And prices of ‘quality’ produce are expected to continue to rise; experts say anywhere in the region of 25 – 40

Peppers Another popular product in Spanish cooking, the pepper, has also gone up in price, and costs 15 percent more than 12 months ago. The reason again is the prolonged heatwave experienced this summer and the few thunderstorms during which the downpour of hail caused much of the crop to perish. Some farmers in the regions of CastillaLa Mancha, Almería and Murcia lost up to 80 percent of their produce because of the hail. Peppers are more expensive also because demand from other countries, such as Portugal, whose crops also suffered due to the weather, is higher than usual.

Almonds Dried fruit and nuts, but especially almonds in particular are more expensive now than they were a year ago. The prices of a kilo of almonds has

Pine nuts Maybe not an item that are used very often, but the pine nut has become increasingly more expensive over the last three years. In 2012, a kilo of pine nuts would have set you back 40 euro, but now this has more than doubled to 100 euro. While the weather conditions this year are partly to blame, pine cones have been subjected to a particularly nasty infestation of insects, which has meant that half of the usual amount of pine nuts was destroyed. The situation has become so bad that many within the sector are trying to sell their pine tree land and leave this type of farming.

Wheat Wheat and cereals in general have also

suffered the effects of the drought this year. The scarce rainfall during the spring and the heat of the summer, have not done wheat farmers any favours. Prices are currently around 10 percent higher than what they were a year ago. Expect the price of bread and other wheat products to rise as a consequence.

Rescued donkey undergoes surgery off of it because he was surrounded by branches and metal,” Sue said. “He’s a bit malnourished but not terribly as luckily he had only been there for two weeks.” Under the knife

A donkey rescued from terrible conditions in Valencia last month has received surgery at the Alicante horse hospital after a veterinary inspection revealed a trapped testicle may turn cancerous. The 7-year-old donkey, called Braveheart, was operated on at the earliest opportunity to ensure his best changes of survival. “The operation was a complete success and Braveheart is recovering well,” rescue centre cofounder Sue Weeding said. Braveheart was rescued on 23rd October from a property at Rotglà y Corberà, 150 kilometres north of Alicante, in a joint operation between the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre and the Valencia and Guadamar branches of Spain’s animal welfare unit, Seprona. “Braveheart was being kept in this dirty and dangerous little area of land surrounded by chainlink fencing. He was standing on a concrete circle and couldn’t move

Braveheart

However, a skeletal mare rescued at the same time – who was later found to be three months’ pregnant – was in much worse condition and sadly died two days after the rescue. The rescue centre has completed a veterinary report at the request of Seprona officials, who are pushing to prosecute the Spanish owner. After losing the mare, Sue and husband Rod were determined to make sure Braveheart is given the best care possible. The Easy Horse Care Rescue

Centre relies entirely on donations to fund its important animal welfare work, including the feeding and care of the centre’s more than 90 horses, ponies and donkeys rescued from abuse, neglect and abandonment. Donations of cash or items for the centre’s network of eight charity shops across the Alicante province are gratefully welcomed. A pick-up service is available to collect large donated items such as furniture and each shop also offers a delivery service for large items purchased instore. Anyone interested in making a donation, becoming a long-term sponsor, or volunteering at the rescue centre or in the charity shops can call Sue on 652 021 980. The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, located just outside Rojales at Partido Lo Garriga, 59, opens to the public on the first Sunday of every month between 1pm and 4pm. Free horse tours are run throughout the afternoon and refreshments are available in the café. For more details and directions, please visit www.easyhorsecare.net.

Market St. - 10 years of fabulous food Ten years ago husband and wife team Alan and Alison Byrne opened Market St. in San Miguel, which since then has established itself as one the leading restaurants in the South Costa Blanca, with a reputation for excellence built on the consistently high quality of its dishes and stylish but relaxed ambience. Few restaurants stand the test of time and the couple attribute its success mainly to consistency, every main course meal that has been served over the past ten years has been created and cooked by Alan and the quality never waivers. From succulent steaks, fabulous fish to delicious desserts customers know that whenever they eat at Market St. the food is always be amazing - no question, no doubt. Like all success stories Market St. has had its share of challenges to overcome. In its second year the restaurant expanded into the unit next door, which used to be a furniture shop, it was a risk. It required considerable investment and if the extra space didn’t fill with bookings it would have proved disastrous. Of course, locals and holiday-makers like flocked to the refurbed spacious newlook Market St. and the rest as they say is history. Like all local businesses the restaurant also had to adapt to the changing economy over recent years, drastically changing the menu and pricing structure. And again, the restaurants reputation guaranteed its

survival with a steady stream of new and regular customers. Market St. is a family concern with Alan and Alison’s daughter working alongside her parents. Alison said: “Our restaurants back in the UK involved our family and we feel that this is very important as no one will ever feel as passionate about Market St. as we do; it is an extension of us. Also it’s a bonus being able to help our children evolve a strong work ethic and a sound understanding of business management.” Market St. is all about the food and it has won several awards over the years for the quality of its food and its front of house service. Alan’s ethos is simple, hard work, good quality produce and he would never serve anything to a customer that he wouldn't be one hundred percent happy to be served himself. Alan has a genuine love for good produce and ingredients and a passion for food in general. Like his favourite chef, Rick Stein, Alan believes that food is the star of the plate and flavours should not be overly complicated. Alison and Alan said: “We work hard and strive to offer our customers, great food, great service an enjoyable atmosphere every time they join us. We’ve had our ups and downs like all businesses have over the past few years and have learnt to adapt and cope, but couldn't have done any of it without the support of our customers, whom we thank whole-heartedly for

their continued support. And we look forward to welcoming returning and new customers for the next ten years.” For further information call: 966 723 965 or visit the restaurant on Facebook.

Market St. It’s no secret that Market St. is personal favourite of mine. I have eaten regularly at this restaurant for many years and have always enjoyed every mouthful. So I was delighted to be invited to help mark their 10th anniversary which just happens to be today (Tuesday 17th November). The choice at Market St. is always comprehensive with an al a carte selection and two very reasonable set price three-course menus covering traditional favourites and more contemporary dishes incorporating, meat, fish and vegetarian options. We both chose from the 20 euro menu and as always I want to try everything. I deliberated over the smoked salmon, poached salmon and prawn salad and we toyed with sharing the Market St. platter but in the end I opted for all my Market St. favourites, the haddock and leak fishcakes to start and the slow-roasted shoulder of lamb. Although the 250g rib-eye came very close because it’s always melts like butter and the handcut chips at Market St. are just to die for. John chose the chicken liver and pork pate followed by the knuckle of

pork. The mains are served with fresh seasonal vegetables and the potato dish of the day. As always the food and presentation was faultless. The fishcake was moist and packed with fish, accompanied by a tangy home-made tartar sauce. Served on a slate it looked almost too good to eat. The pate was served in a jar with crisp salad, crusty bread and a cranberry compote - and it’s the attention to detail, whether a subtle flavour or an unusual presentation technique that make this restaurant something very special. One of the things we love about Market St. is the portion sizes, more is always more for us and although the shoulder of lamb is succulently substantial, the knuckle of pork is a sight to behold. This joint could easily double as a Sunday roast for two. The meat was so tender and cooked to perfection on both meals that it just fell of the bone. The veg was firm but not hard or raw and the dauphinoise potatoes were delicious. All washed down with a bottle of the very drinkable house white wine. Not surprisingly after the knuckle of pork, John asked for coffee and a bailey’s at the end of the meal and I could only manage the lemon sorbet. One day I will have enough room left to do justice to the chocolate brownie ice-cream sundae or the profiteroles….although I’ve been saying that for 10 years!

DONOR DOGS APPEAL There is no dog blood bank on the Costa Blanca. If a dog needs a blood transfusion where does the blood come from? The Pets In Spain animal charity responds to appeals from vets for a dog donor to provide blood when its urgently needed for transfusions to help save the life of a family pet. Rescued dogs in the care of the charity have donated blood for seriously injured and chronically ill dogs, much to the relief of worried pet dog owners when their family pet is suffering. This service by the charity is free of charge and collaborating veterinary clinics will carry out free blood tests on a dog that is brought in prior to the extraction of blood. A donor dog reunion took place this week at the Pets In Spain charity shop in La Marina urbanisation which brought together previously rescued dogs that have donated blood. The photo shows

rescue dog donors Zac, Stella, and Murphy with the charity’s founder Mark Lewis, dog adopters Pascal Lillie and Bob Watts, and one of the charity’s collaborating vets Rebecca Gosset. The

charity has launched a new long term campaign for dog owners to register their dog on the dog donor register in order to meet the demand from vets for much needed life saving blood transfusions. Pets In Spain animal charity does not receive any grants from local or regional government and is totally self funding. They rely on income generated by volunteers working in two charity shops, private donations and sponsors to fund their many animal welfare projects. To register your dog on the blood donor register, or for more information about the Pets In Spain animal charity call 645469253, email info@petsinspain.com or visit their web site: www.petsinspain.com

Beach revamp ready for new summer season The Councillor for Beaches, Sofia Alvarez has outlined the programme of work for the regeneration of the beaches in Orihuela Costa. The key concerns are ensuring there is enough sand on the beaches and shorelines and to maintain the entrance to the marina at Campoamor to accommodate the passage of boats. She explained that sand will be extracted from the seabed by a dredging machine and will then be dried. The Municipal brigade for the coast will then

Our goal is to maintain their quality and therefore their awards because they are essential to the tourism offering of Orihuela.” The councillor announced that work will also begin this week to solve the landslides on the cliffs of Cabo Roig which is currently affecting the main beaches of Cala Capitan and La Caleta.

ARCHANGELS THE FABULOUS FOUR!

This week's question comes from Linda who wants to know more about The Archangels and how they can help us with any problems we have in life.This week's question comes from Linda who wants to know more about The Archangels and how they can help us with any problems we have in life. Dear Alison Can your Guardian Angel be an Archangel? I didn't think they could be, but a friend of mine is adamant that her Guardian Angel Is Archangel Michael. Can you also help with knowing which Archangel to call on when I need assistance with a particular problem in my life? Regards, Linda M Shaw Hi Linda It is my belief, and through my own experience and research, that an Archangel cannot be someone's personal Guardian Angel. However, I would point out that if your friend has been given the name Michael, she may have confused the name with the mighty Archangel Michael. Very often when we are developing our spiritual gift and we ask our Guardian Angel through meditation to share their name with us, they will give us a name that they know we will remember,or be comfortable with. Therefore, Michael may very well be the name that your friend's angel wants her to call him, but it won't actually be Archangel Michael. The reason for this is that the Archangels work on a much higher vibration than our Guardian Angels within the hierarchy of angels. In relation to your other question, I have outlined a little about the Archangels we human's are the most familiar with, Raphael, Michael, Gabriel and Uriel. I like to call these collectively, 'The fabulous four'! Enjoy. Alison. ARCHANGELS MICHAEL RAPHAEL GABRIEL & URIEL The Archangels are known as ruling angels who are strong and powerful, and have a reputation for helping us human beings. It is believed that they were the first teachers on our karmic path so it's no wonder that when we call upon the Archangels they bring in their healing energies in order to bring magic into our lives. They have specific roles to undertake and as they are not bound by time or space as we are on earth, they can, believe it or not, be with many people simultaneously. There are many archangels that have been written about but most people are familiar with the four main Archangels Michael, Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel. Each of the Archangels have their own ranking, meaning and strength which are collectively known as 'Magical Correspondences'. Archangel Michael ‘The Warrior’ Key words associated with Archangel Michael: Protection, Courage, Truth, and Strength. Michael is generally regarded as the leader of the Archangels and he was originally regarded as a pagan symbol – in this case, a god form – who was then adopted by newer religions and adapted to fit their

beliefs. The name Michael means ‘Who is God’ and this Archangel is an undisputed hero. He is the avenging angel and in ancient legend and folklore he has been the downfall of many wrong doers. He represents justice, strength and protection and he provides a necessary balance in our world. The loyalty of Michael is unquestionable and unshakeable and his sword will defend the downtrodden and those of pure and faithful heart. Call upon Michael for: protection, and to bring justice to those who have wronged you. Ask Michael to lend his supreme strength to your personal inner strength and call upon him to ward off negativity in your home therefore preventing undesirable and questionable characters from bothering you. He can also help in any cleansing ritual. A good way to attune to the energies of Archangel Michael is to visit one of the ‘Michael Mounts’ which are dotted around Europe. These mounts are built upon lay lines of energy and are a link to mystical pagan beliefs. St. Michael’s Mount in Cornwall is particularly magical. Archangel Michael’s magical correspondences are: Colour Red/scarlet Season Summer Time Noon Element Fire Ray 1st Ray/ Will and intent Ray colour Blue Crystal Lapis Lazuli The four main archangels Michael, Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel are associated with three astrological signs. The astrological signs for Michael are Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Archangel Raphael ‘the healer’ & the angel of travel Raphael’s name comes from the Hebrew word ‘rapha’, meaning healer, doctor, or surgeon. Raphael’s name means‘shining healer’, or ‘God Heals’. One of his main magical attributes is that of assisting with healing spells and alternative therapy. Raphael also helps to heal the world of all the mass destruction we humans cause and can also be called upon to heal rifts with relationships. He is the angel of love and laughter, adores jokes and frolics and is the governor of all magical tools. He is custodian of the Tree of Life He is known for being the angel who gave the magical pentacle to King Solomon. Raphael is also called the Angel of the Sun and his image has been captured by such artistic masters as Botticelli, Titian and Rembrandt. Raphael also

helps with inward spiritual journeys, assisting in searches for truth and guidance and not only helps you heal from physical emotional and mental pain; he also heals wounds from past lives, and space clearing. Archangel Raphael’s Magical correspondences are: Colour Yellow/gold & blue Season Spring Time Dawn Element Air Ray 5th Ray/Intellect Crystal Emerald Ray colour Green The astrological signs associated with Raphael, are Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Archangel Gabriel ‘The Messenger’, words associated with her are Communication, & Peace. The archangel Gabriel is a feminine angel and the one who is known and; loved by all children through the Christmas story and the Christian Nativity. Gabriel is second only to Michael, and her name means Governor of Light, or‘Strength of God‘. She is often depicted carrying an olive branch – the universal symbol of peace. As the feminine Archangel she is the protector of pregnancy and childbirth, and she is also strongly associated with the pagan Goddess. She is the angel of resurrection, mercy, mysteries revealed and peacemaking. However, she is also used to put a stop to bad doings and criminal activity and can help with spells that reflect this. One of her main magical attributes is that she can assist in spells of transformation. So call on Gabriel to increase your confidence, break bad habits, become more positive, increase your wealth, or, literally, turn your life around. Gabriel is a powerful Archangel and those who call upon her will find themselves pushed into action that leads to beneficial results. Contact Gabriel if your third eye is closed and your spiritual vision is therefore blocked. Horses, especially the mythical winged horse and unicorns, are associated with this Archangel. So too, are flowers, particularly the lily, which once again reinforces her association with the Goddess. In today’s world, Gabriel is the patron of all messengers and all forms of telecommunications. Archangel Gabriel’s magical correspondences are:

Allen Toussaint dies in Madrid Rock legend Allen Toussaint has died in Madrid just a few hours after performing live at the city's Lara Theatre. The singer, pianist and composer for the Rolling Stones among others, aged 77, had gone back to his hotel almost immediately after the show when he suffered a heart attack. He was unconscious with no pulse and was rushed to the Jiménez Díaz Foundation Hospital in Madrid, but despite every effort, medics were unable to restart his heart and he was pronounced dead on arrival. Toussaint had been performing as part of the Great Little Moments 1906 tour last night just before he died, wowing fans young and old with classic tracks such as Sneakin' Sally through the alley, Get out of my life, and Who's gonna help a brother get further. Awarded the Arts Medal of Honour by US president Barack Obama in July two years ago and nominated for a Grammy, Toussaint – who was born in Gert Town, New Orleans - had a place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. As well as his long career with the Stones, Toussaint has composed smash-hit records for the likes of The Who, Paul McCartney & The Wings, Elvis Costello, Ringo Starr, Willie DeVille, Dr John, Little feat. The Band, Otis Redding, Bo Diddley and Jerry García.

Alicante one of Second mystery largest for number space object baffles of resale properties Murcia residents Real-estate portal Idealista has surveyed resale properties for sale in Spain and determined the areas with the most property opportunity. In Spain, there is a total of 25.5 million properties in existence. Out of this number, 2.7 percent are up for sale and classified as a second-hand or re-sale property. According to real-estate portal Idealista, 693,200 second-hand homes are waiting to be sold across the country, but the stock of properties are not spread out equally amongst the regions and provinces. The provinces with the greatest number of second-hand properties for sale are: Madrid (71,504), Barcelona (61.241), Valencia (51,500), Alicante (47,710) and Malaga (41,179). These are also some of the most popular areas with property purchasers and residents in Spain in general. At the other end of the scale, the provinces with the fewest number of resale properties for sale include Soria (943), Teruel (1,501), Zamora (2,409), Cuenca (2,455) and Palencia (2,808). However, despite the fact that the majority of second-hand properties for sale are concentrated in the largest markets, according to data from the Department of Public Works, Malaga is the province that has the greatest

number of re-sales for sale in relation to the total number of properties within the province, with 4.5 percent of its total. Also above 4 percent of their total number properties within the province are Almería (4.2 percent) and Cantabria (4.1 percent). Following these three provinces are Vizcaya (3.8 percent), Alicante (3.7 percent) and the Balearic Islands (3.7 percent). When compared with the total number of properties in general, Madrid only has a stock of 2.4 percent of secondhand properties for sale, while Barcelona only has 2.3 percent. The provinces with the smallest percentage of re-sale homes for sale in relation to the total number of properties are Soria and Ourense with 1.2 percent each. They are followed by Cáceres (1.3 percent), Teruel (1.3 percent) Badajoz (1.4 percent) and Jáen, León and Cuenca all with 1.5 percent.

Less than a week after a mysterious object that may have fallen from a satellite or rocket was discovered in the Murcia countryside, currently being investigated by the Civil Guard, a second, similar sphere has been discovered. The new sphere was spotted just a few kilometers away from where the first one turned up. The object, which is almost identical to the one found by two shepherds the other Tuesday, could also be an aerospace industry device, possibly an auxiliary fuel tank for a rocket or a satellite, officials said. The owner of a farm in Calasparra, Murcia province, alerted authorities after finding the sphere nearly a week after the first one had been taken away for analysis. The discovery of the first object by

shepherd brothers Francisco and Juan Espín del Amo ignited a wave of speculation in the media and among local residents. Now, the finding of this second sphere is expected to stoke further alarm and conjecture. Civil Guard officials specialising in nuclear, radiation, bacteriological and chemical threats sent in a team to retrieve the new artifact. They also deployed a crew of bomb experts in the area, just in case. The second object, which was described as about a meter in diameter and covered in heat-resistant material, has been moved to Murcia Civil Guard headquarters until a decision is made on where to take it. According to authorities, the owner of the farm, which is situated around 300 meters from the Segura river, discovered the object on his property at around 5.30pm and called emergency services. Authorities believe that the origin of the two objects could be related since the first sphere was found just a few kilometers away in Llanos del Cagitán. But sources at the central government’s delegate office said that a preliminary investigation cannot yet determine where either object came from or if there is a connection. The Civil Guard sent the first object to a chemical center in Cartagena where technicians said that it could be part of a fuel tank that came from a craft or space station.

TV Pick Doctor in your House – Channel 4 – 9-00 pm When it comes to avoiding the GP, most of us have to plead guilty. We continue to put up with our daily ailments no matter how troublesome they become. But dodging the doctor might cause problems later and doesn't help the NHS, either. The problems we leave unattended, because we're too busy, don't want to bother the doctor, or are actually too scared to confront - can end up costing the NHS millions. But, for one busy family, the Whites, that's all about to stop. Not only is the doctor making a house call - he's staying. The family is about to get a medical like no other, as Dr Xand van Tulleken moves in for the weekend. From dad Dylan's snoring and cholesterol, to mum Nicky's blood pressure, and teen daughters Susannah and Natasha's skin, ear and hair worries, Dr Xand uncovers the truth about the family.

Dominic Sandbrook: Let Use Entertain You – BBC2 – 10.00pm

Dominic Sandbrook explores British post-war culture. This episode explores how postwar culture has not merely been driven by the same qualities and impulses that shaped Victorian Britain - it has also demonstrated many of the same anxieties and preoccupations of that period. In particular, the two main concerns of the Victorian age were the state of the nation and the desire to export British values to the far corners of globe. In a sense, postwar culture has been a process of coming to terms with our loss of place in the world. Where Dickens was troubled about the impact of industrialisation and work on poor urban communities, postwar artists, writers and film-makers like Irvine Welsh, Danny Boyle and Catherine Cookson have been preoccupied with the impact of deindustrialisation and lack of work on these communities. Likewise, the civilising mission of the Victorian age has become translated in the postwar years into science fiction and fantasy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, With reference to the diversion at Mariblanca, Calle Monte Perido, it could be that local residents are not happy with traffic speeding straight up the road towards Los Altos despite a speed bump and 20 km signs. Since the road from the N332 has been open there has been a constant flow of trucks, heavy vehicles and buses using the road although the signs at the turnoff clearly state no vehicles over 3.5 tons. By diverting traffic along Calle Monte Perido there are less heavy vehicles using the road and the majority of traffic has slowed down although they still ignore the 'no entry' signs and carry on straight through. Food for thought. Kind regards Maureen Henderson Dear Editor, Dear Sirs, I feel I must respond to the letter published by Ken Turner in the Monday 9th November edition of the Leader, penultimate paragraph. The first part is quite accurate. Earlier this year a number of the urbanisation roads were resurfaced, but he fails to say at NO extra cost to the rate payers. The difference being we on Oasis has had to wait impatiently for over 6 years for our infrastructure to be replaced after being vandalised by a previous council when completely unnecessary. All that was required was a ditch to be dug in the centre of the roads to lay in main drainage to comply with European legislation, and NOT to touch the pavements on both sides of the

roads. Now to my main gripe: We residents of Oasis are being forced to pay enormous amounts of money for this work to be carried out when it is the council's responsibility, and any costs should be borne by all the rate payers, not just a few hundred residents, who in their turn already contribute to all the infrastructure in San Fulgencio village and the whole of La Marina Urbanisation. Yours faithfully Robert Delacour Dear Editor With Christmas fast approaching lots of our lovely supporters are arranging events to raise money, as always, to ensure that the children have the best Christmas ever. Wherever possible we provide a raffle to help raise monies and are always in need of good prizes to entice people to buy raffle tickets. This is where you can help, either by donating a raffle prize yourself e.g. bottle of drink, toiletries, or a small gift

Reader Arne Brandstrup has been making the most of the beautiful sunrises we have been experiencing recently here on the Costa Blanca. The photo was taken earlier this week just after 7.30am. Arne told us, “The view is from San Miguel de Salinas towards Torrevieja.” If you have an image you’d like to share, please send it to office@costablancapeople.com

REACH OUT RESTRUCTURES Reach Out Extiende La Mano, the Torrevieja based Charity for the needy and homeless has recently gone through a change. The visionary founder Karolina Leonard recently, after nearly 5 years of leading the work to where it stands today, resigned from the post of President due to degenerating health. In her regretful and sad letter of resignation to the current board, Karolina expressed her sincere thanks to those

- new and unused items only please, or another way we source prizes is to ask local businesses to donate a voucher, for example, a free beauty treatment, a meal in a restaurant, shop vouchers etc. If you are a local business and would like to donate a prize please let me know. Alternatively, I would ask all of our supporters if they could ask their local hairdresser or shop to donate a raffle prize - as you know we are very short on volunteers and if you can help us by collecting or donating just one raffle prize you would be helping us enormously. I have attached a letter which you can print off and use to collect donations. If you are able to take the donations to the follow collection points that would be very helpful. If not, contact me, or in the case of vouchers the business can e-mail them directly to me if they prefer - details in the letter. Thank you!!!!! DONATION COLLECTION POINTS: Jane & Billy

who have given their help and support since the instigation of the charity in a small garage. Under Karolina the work has increased and the charity has expanded twice until it relocated to its current facility in 2013. Karolina wished the new leadership all the best and success for the future. The board and volunteers wish Karolina all the best for her future as she travels on a visit to India soon, and can assure her the work will go on.

Red 2 Dean Parisot’s comedy-thriller sequel reunites Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich and Brian Cox in their roles as retired secret agents. This time, Frank and his girlfriend Sarah are unwillingly dragged into an attempt to track down a uniquely dangerous nuclear weapon that was smuggled into Russia during the Cold War. Along the way, they encounter the bomb's inventor, who has been kept drugged-up in a prison for the criminally insane for 32 years; Frank’s old flame Katya, a former Soviet spy who delights in winding up Sarah; and Han Cho Bai, the younger generation's deadliest assassin - who has been tasked with killing the ageing agents. The plentiful car chases and explosions take place in London, Paris and similarly glamorous locations; and, with the comedy more to the fore in this outing, the wisecracking veteran the sps' enjoyment is infectious.

TV Pick Building Hitler’s Supergun – Channel 4 – 9.00 pm By the spring of 1943, for the first time since the beginning of World War II, Hitler was on the back foot. As Allied bombs rained down on German cities, the Fuhrer was determined to hit back. He drew up plans for the biggest gun the world has ever seen: the V-3 Supergun. From its bunker buried deep in a French hillside, this monstrous 25barrelled cannon was designed to reduce London to rubble, and turn the course of the war back in Hitler's favour. In a race to knock out the supergun, the allies dreamt up their own miracle weapons.

Margaret via email asks: Hi Aunty. My iPhone 6 fell in the loo so I put it in rice for a few days and everything is back except my camera. Is it possible to get the camera back on it? Aunty Says: Ooops Margaret but these things do happen, and hats off for trying the rice trick. Normally 3 days seems to be the recommended minimum time to leave your phone submerged in a bag of rice, so maybe give it another go before it has to go in for some expensive surgery. Dave via email asks: Hello Aunty. On my Samsung tablet, I am getting a message "AVG ANTIVIRUS PRO installing” but why? I did not request it, and looking at the comments online people have been complaining

about it for weeks now. I use AVAST and it is up to date so is it a bug? How do I stop it? AVG is not listed in my applications manager. Aunty Says: I believe Android users have been “given” AVG for free but without any kind of choice, something I find absolutely infuriating but sadly it is becoming more and more common. If you let AVG download and install then maybe try the Android AVG Uninstaller from the support section of the AVG website, not had reason to use it myself (yet) but I hear it does the job. Carol via email asks: Dear Aunty. I am trying to get information about car hire from enterprise.co.uk but every time I enter their web site I get sent to enterprise.es I have typed in co.uk and .com but it still goes to the Spanish web site. I have in the past had no problems booking cars via their website and have tried from my iPad and computer, can you help me please it's driving me nuts!!! Aunty Says: Hello Carol. I had a quick look at their website and I have the same problem, however I noticed there is a “Ir al sitio web clásico de Enterprise” link at the bottom which will take you to an older version of the website where you can

www.costablancapeople.com

change the language and country to the UK. Dave from La Mata asks: Hi Aunty. I watched a program on Panorama about hacking and it has sowed the seed of doubt about my security cover. I use all free versions of SuperAntiSpyware, Avast, Malawarebytes and Ccleaner but is it worth upgrading to paid versions? I don't like parting with cash but like everyone I have a lot of personal info on my machine. Also I run all my scans at same time, is this ok or should I run them individually. Aunty Says: Hello Dave. As long as you keep your free products up-to-date and manually perform a full scan weekly you will be fine. The paid versions tend to have a few more features, such as parental control and technical support, but I personally think the free ones are fine. I certainly wouldn’t recommend running multiple scans or updates at the same time as it could overload your computer and most security programs need to lock certain files to be able to check or disinfect them. Any problems or questions you can email me at auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com. See you all next week.

Charge your phone in 30 seconds A new scientific discovery could mean that smartphones will be charged in as little as 30 seconds. Scientists behind the new discovery claim that using something known as 'quantum dots' can significantly speed up charging times. Quantum dots are tiny particles of a semiconducting material - 10,000 times narrower than a human hair - that have unique electrical properties. The 'dots' can be altered to have certain properties, such as the ability to generate charge when strained. However, up until now, the effect of these dots on improving charging has only lasted for a few cycles. Now researchers have found making the quantum dots out of iron pyrite also known as fool's gold. They say this can produce batteries that charge quickly and work for dozens of cycles. The research team was headed by Cary Pint, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Vanderbilt University. He became interested in fool's gold

because it is one of the most abundant materials in the earth's surface. It is produced in raw form as a byproduct of coal production and is so cheap that it is used in lithium batteries that are thrown away after a single use. 'Researchers have demonstrated that nanoscale materials can significantly improve batteries, but there is a limit,' Pint says. 'When the particles get very small, generally meaning below 10 nanometers (40 to 50 atoms wide), the nanoparticles begin to chemically react with the electrolytes and so can only charge and discharge a few times. The team overcame this by adding millions of iron pyrite quantum dots of different sizes to standard lithium batteries. According to Pint, 'You can think of it like vanilla cake. 'Storing lithium or sodium in conventional battery materials is like pushing chocolate chips into the cake and then pulling the intact chips back out. 'With the interesting materials we're

studying, you put chocolate chips into vanilla cake and it changes into a chocolate cake with vanilla chips.' As a result, the rules that forbid the use of ultrasmall nanoparticles in batteries no longer apply. In fact, the scales are tipped in favour of very small nanoparticles. Pint believes that understanding of chemical storage mechanisms and how they depend on nanoscale dimensions is critical to enable the evolution of battery performance at a pace that stands up to Moore's law and can support the transition to electric vehicles. 'The batteries of tomorrow that can charge in seconds and discharge in days will not just use nanotechnology, they will benefit from the development of new tools that will allow us to design nanostructures that can stand up to tens of thousands of cycles and possess energy storage capacities rivaling that of gasoline,' says Pint. 'Our research is a major step in this direction.'

Facebook launches news app Facebook has launched a new app for iPhone users called Notify. The new service gathers news and entertainment stories into one regularly updated feed. CNN, Fox News and the Washington Post are among the 70 organisations providing stories to the app. Anyone who installs the app chooses their own mix of sources and the app then posts notifications to their feed. Facebookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Notify competes directly with Twitter's Moments and Apple's News

service, which create custom feeds of breaking stories. The feed of stories can be customised by choosing from several different categories, including movies, music, sport, news and celebrities, Facebook said in a blogpost. There are also categories for daily meditation exercises and another from the Getty picture library showing iconic images from the same day in history. Currently, the Notify service is available

only to iPhone users in the US. Facebook has not said when or if the service will be extended to other parts of the world or other operating systems.

Google car pulled over by police A Google self-drive car has been pulled over by police in Mountain View, California, for driving too slowly. Reports indicate that no action was taken but the incident does raise questions about whether the cars, in their current form, are too cautious and thus, dangerous. In a post on Google+, the company itself joked: "Bet humans don't get pulled over for that too often." An accident report recently filed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles described a Google automated car as "overcautious". In a blogpost about the incident, the Mountain View police department said an officer "noticed traffic backing up behind a slow-moving car in the eastbound lane". "The officer stopped the car... to learn more about how it was choosing speeds along certain roadways and to educate the operators about impeding traffic," it added. The car was travelling at 24mph in a 35mph zone. In its own post about the incident, Google said: "We've capped the speed of our prototype vehicles at 25mph for safety reasons. We want them to

feel friendly and approachable, rather than zooming scarily through neighbourhood streets." But Google added that, in 1.2 million miles of autonomous driving tests, "we're proud to say we've never been ticketed". In September, Google said it was working to make its cars drive "more humanistically" following complaints that they were too polite. Google's fleet of autonomous cars are programmed to follow the rules of the road to the letter but this can cause problems when the vehicles are sharing the road with human drivers who do not.

Researchers in the field have acknowledged that getting autonomous cars to work well in the world of human drivers is one of their biggest challenges. This problem is illustrated in a recent accident report published by the California DMV which described how a Google AV (autonomous vehicle) and its test driver exhibited "an abundance of caution" at a pedestrian crossing. The car braked and another vehicle went into the back of it. The cars sustained damage and the Google test driver was taken to hospital suffering from "minor back pain".

Diabetes and dealing with short term complications What is Diabetes? Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood is too high because the body cannot use it properly. Glucose comes from the digestion of starchy foods such as bread, rice, potatoes, chapattis, yams and plantain, from sugar and other sweet foods, and from the liver which makes glucose. Diabetes types There are two main types of diabetes.

These are: • Type 1 diabetes • Type 2 diabetes Type 1 Type 1 diabetes develops if the body is unable to produce any insulin. This type of diabetes usually appears before the age of 40. Type 1 diabetes is the least common of the two main types and accounts for between 5 – 15% of all people with diabetes. Type 2

Type 2 diabetes develops when the body can still make some insulin, but not enough, or when the insulin that is produced does not work properly (known as insulin resistance). In most cases this is linked with being overweight. This type of diabetes usually appears in people over the age of 40, though in South Asian and African-Caribbean people it often appears after the age of 25. However, recently, more children are being diagnosed with the condition, some as young as seven. Type 2 diabetes is the more common of the two main types and accounts for between 85 - 95% of all people with diabetes. *Warning signs and how to deal with short term complications People with diabetes should wear or carry I.D. information (such as an alert bracelet) that emergency medical staff can find. They should always carry a sugar source, such as glucose tablets. Hypoglyceamia - When does it occur? Hypoglycaemia (or a ‘hypo’) occurs when the level of glucose in the blood falls too low, usually under 4 mmol/l. People with diabetes who take insulin and/or certain diabetes tablets are at risk of having a hypo. A hypo may occur if you have taken too much diabetes medication, delayed or missed a meal or snack, not eaten enough carbohydrate, taken part in unplanned or more strenuous exercise than usual, and have been drinking alcohol without food. Sometimes there is no obvious cause. Many people have hypos while they are asleep and come to no harm. Warning signs When a hypo happens the person often experiences ‘warning signs’, which occur as the body tries to raise the blood glucose level. These ‘warning signs’ vary from person to person but often include feeling: • shaky

• sweating • tingling in the lips • going pale • heart pounding • confusion • irritability Treating a hypo Don't panic - If you have a blood sugar test kit available, do a blood sugar check. If you don't give the person some sugar (it won’t harm them) i.e. a sugary drink or some glucose tablets or Glucagon (a hormone that raises blood glucose levels) works very fast usually within 15 minutes. Once more alert and responsive give the person some longer acting carbohydrate, such as a cereal bar, a sandwich, piece of fruit, biscuits and milk or the next meal if it is due. Please remember • If left untreated the person might, eventually, become unconscious. • You should never try to put food or drink into the mouth of someone who is unconscious. • While you are waiting for the person to revive, keep the person on there side to prevent choking. • If the person is not better in 15 minutes, call 112. • Have glucagon stored for emergencies. Make sure everyone in your home, babysitters, and caregivers know how to use it. Periodically remind everyone how to use it. Always check the expiration date. Alcohol and hypos Hypos can be particularly dangerous following alcohol. If you have a hypo after drinking, the body is less able to release stored glucose and the blood glucose level may fall dangerously low. It is recommended that people on insulin should not drink more than three units of alcohol for a man or two units for a woman per day, and that you should always eat when you are drinking and have a bedtime snack, to lower the risk of

a hypo. Diabetic Ketoacidosis In the short term, consistent high blood glucose levels can lead to a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This happens because of a lack of glucose entering the cells where it can be used as energy. The body begins to use stores of fat as an alternative source of energy, and this in turn produces an acidic by-product known as ketones. Ketones are very harmful and the body will immediately try to get rid of them by excreting them in urine. Consequently, when ketones are present and blood glucose levels are rising, people often have signs/symptoms of: • Flushed face • Dry skin and mouth • Nausea or vomiting • Stomach pain • Deep, rapid breathing • Fruity breath odour What to do next *If these symptoms occur, call the doctor or go to hospital right away. If left untreated, this condition can be fatal.

looking or feeling too thick and heavy. Sartorial no-nos: all of the aforementioned don'ts, but do try not to dress too 'old' and frumpy either, style doesn't suddenly stop when you reach 50, 60, 70, 80 or even 90 – you can be fabulous and fashionable at any age. Loving your body at any age None of us are perfect, and even supermodels and pop princesses rely on the magic of photographers and Photoshop to give the illusion of faultless health and beauty. But nearly every woman – even celebrities – suffer from body hang-ups to one degree or another. Whether it’s post-pregnancy stretch marks, big bottoms, thinning hair or flat chests, sometimes women seem hardwired to give themselves a tough time over every perceived blemish and imperfection. Why are body hang-ups are so common, and what can we do to banish them for good? Research published last year found that only 63 percent of women aged 1834 are satisfied with their appearance. And this sad statistic doesn’t improve much with age: only 57 percent of women aged 35-49 are happy with the way they look. For many women, the habit of comparing their bodies to those of other women and finding fault starts in adolescence. Girls are socialised more than boys to focus on external aspects of themselves, such as their appearance. Learning to do their hair, polish their nails and paint their faces is virtually a rite of passage into womanhood in our culture. From an early age girls learn to judge themselves by how they look. Teasing about weight or any other physical trait reinforces the belief that to be successful and popular means being pretty. Later, girls and women are bombarded by media images of the ideal female look. The history of hang-ups

One way to deal with all this is to remember that the ‘ideal’ female body shape and look changes with alarming regularity. Hate your cellulite? In Victorian England you would have been much admired, as dimpled flesh was a sign of vitality. Hate your flat chest? In the 1920s your washboard figure would have been the talk of the town. Hate your rounded curves? Marilyn Monroe is considered one of the most beautiful women ever to have lived. In summary, there simply isn’t an ‘ideal’ at all. One generation’s hang-up might be something the next generation can’t get enough of. Coping with hang-ups So what can you do to quieten the constant murmur of self-criticism? The first thing to remember is that the ideal body is a healthy body, and that your body is for you and not for anybody else. Your emotional wellbeing is tightly bound up with your physical health, so if you eat well and exercise, your hang-ups won’t bother you nearly as much. Whatever you look like, feeling healthy contributes to feeling happier about your body. Then, if you find yourself staring into a mirror and silently cursing your nose, wrinkles or hair, challenge those thoughts. Ask yourself what you’d say to a friend who exhibited the same believed imperfections. You’d probably see them as a sign of a life well lived, or a feature that makes them…well ‘them’. “Write a list of all your good qualities. Then use this list to write down three things that you’ve done every day that show these qualities,” advises the NHS. Finally, remember that most of who you are and what you look like comes down to genetics. Your appearance, like so much else, has been handed down through generations of your family. It connects you to your past and it makes you the unique individual you are.

Looking good at all ages Whether you are 25 or 55, we all want to look our best. From building the perfect work-to-party wardrobe in your 20s to figuring out exactly which key trends will work on your shape when you're 50-plus, getting it right in the sartorial stakes is challenging, whatever your age. While there's nothing worse than being dictated to and told what to wear, a gentle push in the right direction is never a bad thing, so here’s a little guide to help you dress to impress, whether you're fresh out of uni or about to draw your pension. The fashion-forward 20s This is the time to have fun with your look, play around with different trends and really discover your personal style. Your teenage goth/emo/punk phase (delete as appropriate) may be behind you but you no doubt still want to experiment. Off-duty, you might want to give the blatantly obvious teen trends a miss and look more to the catwalk than the street for inspiration. Study the fashion glossies, figure out which key pieces you like each season and snap up affordable high street versions. Add funky accessories and evening make-up to take to from work to the bar. Dressing for your body type is important. You'll be able to pull off practically any trend piece as long as it suits your shape, so swot up on exactly what works on your figure, be it pear, apple or hourglass. Sartorial no-nos: neon high-top wedge trainers, silly slogan crop tees, wacky tutu skirts and fluorescent knee-length socks and are probably best left to the under20s. The style-savvy 30s You have in all likelihood settled into your personal style by now and know what suits you and what doesn't. A streamlined capsule wardrobe of classics and the odd trend piece or two to keep it fresh is your best approach.

Less is more, so choose quality over quantity. Spend most of your clothing budget if you can on a few beautifully made pieces that will stand the test of time such as a killer pair of dark denim jeans, a silk shirt, a cosy cashmere jumper, a head-turning LBD, a gorgeous midrange handbag, a pair of butter-soft leather winter boots, that sort of thing, saving the remaining cash for any fastfashion high street picks that might take your fancy. You're likely to be less bothered about slavishly following the most edgy, of the moment trends but will probably still want to flaunt the latest styles at least now and again, which you can still get away with no problem. You can also pull off more ladylike, grown-up styles without looking like you're dressing beyond your years, so this really is the decade when almost anything goes, as long as it suits your body type and personal sense of style. Sartorial no-nos: you might want to steer clear of the most gimmicky trends you know won't go the distance or anything that looks too sporty or street, unless you're off to the gym of course. The ultra-chic 40s The focus now you're in your forties will probably be on timeless investment pieces rather than the latest trends, not that you can't carry off most of the season's hottest looks however. You may want to tweak your fashion choices though. Uber-skinny jeans, clingy bodycon dresses and low-cut tops will look great if you've got the attitude or body to carry them off but may look a tad try-hard if you haven't. This is the time to get into vintageinspired chic. 50s A-line dresses, 70s shirt dresses, high-waist trousers and classy swing coats are calling your name. You can probably also afford to splash out on extra-special designer treats by the time you're in your 40s. Go for classics rather

than throwaway season-specific pieces. Urban sporty styles may no longer be your cup of tea but you can still tap into the leisure trend by going for understated, less obtrusive sportswear. We're thinking high-end trainers in subtle hues, grey marl hoodies, solid colour camis and cashmere-mix trackie bottoms. Sartorial no-nos: it's probably best to ditch the micro minis, crop tops, novelty nail art and tiny cut-out party dresses. The super-sophisticated 50s and beyond Long gone are the days when hitting 50 meant getting out the granny dresses, dowdy cardis and orthopaedic shoes. You can be trendy and stylish, but you don't want to look like you're trying desperately to dress a lot younger than your years. You might want to give anything neon, overly sporty or superskimpy a wide berth, but don't feel that you can't rock the latest trends – just be selective. Colour-wise, you may want to tone it down and opt for more muted hues to complement your changing skin tone and hair. In your face bright colours, stark black and vivid reds may make you look washed-out. Opt instead for navy, earth shades, off-white and other neutral hues. Your figure may not be as slender as it once was, so try to adapt your wardrobe so that it flatters your over-50 shape. Structured, waist-cinching dresses, slimming wrap tops, elongating cigarette trousers and longline coats are the way forward. Many women over 50 like a bit of extra arm and décolletage coverage, so bear this in mind when you're shopping around for new pieces. Sheer sleeves or lace panelling over the décolletage area work well for going-out dresses. If you're no longer comfortable showing off your bare legs, bag some 10 denier tights which give great coverage without

Apple shaped women more likely to suffer ‘loss-of-control eating disorder' Women who can be described as ‘apple shaped’ – those who tend to carry weight around their middle – are at greater risk of eating disorders, experts warned this

week. The revelation comes after a study earlier this week found have a 'spare tyre' of fat around the waist is more deadly

than being obese, doubling the risk of early death. Now, in what researchers believe is the first study of its kind, a link has been found between body shape and loss-ofcontrol eating episodes. The findings reveal women with greater fat stored in their midsection, were less likely to be satisfied with their bodies. This factor, researchers said, could play a role in contributing to loss-of-control binge eating. Dr Laura Berner, lead author from Drexel University, said: 'Eating disorders that are detected early are much more likely to be successfully treated. 'Although existing eating disorder risk models comprehensively address psychological factors, we know of very few biologically-based factors that help us predict who may be more likely to develop eating disorder behaviours.’ Dr Berner said this suggests that targeting individuals who store more fat in their midsection and adapting psychological interventions to focus specifically on body fat distribution could be beneficial for preventing eating disorders. Mounting evidence suggests that experiencing a sense of loss-of-control during eating - feeling driven or compelled to keep eating or that stopping once one has started is difficult - is the most significant element of bingeeating episodes regardless of how much food is consumed, according to the researchers. 'This sense of loss of control is experienced across a range of eating disorder diagnoses: bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and the bingeeating/purging sub-type of anorexia nervosa,' said Dr Berner. 'We wanted to see if a measurable biological characteristic could help predict who goes on to develop this feeling, as research shows that individuals who feel this sense of loss of control over eating but don't yet have an eating disorder are more likely to develop one.' During the course of the study, researchers followed a group of around 300 female students for two years. Dr Berner said: 'The specificity of our findings to centralised fat deposition was also surprising.'

A day in the life of a shop volunteer The MABS charity shop in San Javier is run by volunteers who give their time freely. The shop is open Monday - Friday between 10.00am and 2.00pm. The day starts at 9.45am when the volunteers for the day arrive and prepare the shop for the day ahead. This includes dusting and general tidying of the shop floor and making sure that there is a small

float in the till and they're ready for business. At 10.00am the doors open and the day begins.... Donations arrive steadily throughout the day. Furniture donations need to be arranged on the shop floor to look as appealing and presentable as possible. Furniture donations are often collected

from the benefactor's home and delivered to the shop by our van drivers. They will then unload it and find room in the shop. This is often challenging especially if it is a particularly heavy load. Donations of bric-a-brac are checked over to make sure they are intact and then priced and put out on the sale floor. Electrical goods are checked to ensure they are in good working order before being priced to go out for sale. Shoes and handbags are sorted for sale, they must be clean and not heavily worn, they are then paired, lightly

cleaned and priced. Only one shoe is ever displayed so the other is kept neatly in cupboards. Clothing donations take up a lot of time for the volunteers in the shop. Initially, they are taken upstairs where they are sorted and checked to ensure that the items are clean, undamaged and in good condition. The clothes are then ironed, hung on correct hangers, sized and priced before being placed on the sales floor. Out of season clothing is folded and stored until required. The clothing is consistently checked and restocked throughout the day and the mannequins are frequently changed so that a good selection of clothing is available at all times. A rotation system is in operation which ensure that nothing is displayed for more than 3 or 4 weeks. The cashier has several responsibilities in addition to the sales transactions. Tickets for our fundraising events are on sale at the counter, sometimes there is an in store raffle so raffle tickets are

also sold. The cashier will take deposits for larger items and mark them as sold on the sales floor. They will also arrange the collection of donations for the van drivers. The volunteers who run the book stall at The Arches, Malcolm and Val, come in to the shop every week to keep the books stocked and organised and also to sort out any new donations of books. 2.00pm comes around very quickly and the shop is closed for the day. The till will then be cashed up, bins will be

emptied and everything is left clean and tidy for the next day's volunteers. If you have just 4 hours a week (or more) to spare and would like to be involved volunteering in the shop then please contact Sylvia on 679 034 415 or email mmvolunteers@outlook.com. You could also call into the shop and ask to speak to the day manager. You can also keep up to date on our events by liking our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/mabsmurci amarmenor/

Vegan Month November is Vegan Month with International Vegan day taking place on Friday (20th November). Organisers are hoping people will sign up to take a 30 day Vegan challenge to help raise awareness and understanding of veganism. Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.From 'junk food vegans' to raw food vegans and everything in between,organisers believe there's a version of veganism to suit everyone. Yet one thing all vegans have in common is a plant-based diet avoiding all animal foods such as meat (including fish, shellfish and insects), dairy, eggs and honey - as well as products like leather and any tested on animals. Preventing the exploitation of animals is not the only reason for becoming vegan, but for many it remains the key factor in their decision to go vegan and stay

vegan. Having emotional attachments with animals may form part of that reason, while many believe that all sentient creatures have a right to life and freedom. More and more people are turning to a vegan diet for the health benefits: increased energy and younger looking skin are just some of the claims from enthusiastic plant eaters. There are numerous scientifically proven benefits to vegan living when compared to the average

western diet.Well-planned plantbased diets are rich in protein, iron, calcium and other essential vitamins and minerals. The plantbased sources of these nutrients tend to be low in saturated fat, high in fibre and packed with antioxidants, helping mitigate some of the modern world's biggest health issues like obesity, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Just like veganism is the sustainable option when it comes to looking after our planet, plantbased living is also a more sustainable way of feeding the human population. A plant-based diet requires only one third of the land needed to support a meat and dairy diet. With rising global food and water insecurity due to a myriad of environmental and socio-economic problems, there's never been a better time to adopt a more sustainable way of living. Avoiding animal products is not just one of the simplest ways an individual can reduce the strain on food as well as other resources - a simpleway to take a stand against inefficient food systems.

I have to take my hat off to Dave Bull and his son Mitch for organising a most unusual and what could be dangerous fundraiser for the Cancer charity AECC and The Samaritans. The Kayak Challenge on November 28th goes along the Rio Segura for 52 kilometres from Murcia to Guardamar and takes in many fast rapids and weirs. Once again when a Charity is involved everyone wants to give their help for free and the entertainment world is no different. Dave and his supporters asked for my help to supply an act for a dinner dance that will be raising funds for the charity. It is heart

warming that when I ask acts to do a show for free for charity, you can bet that I will have a list as long as your arm. One of the first to offer their services was the female multi tribute act Paula B. Paula has not been in Spain for many months but is already heavily booked but has still found time to give her time for the fundraiser at La Piedra in Gran Alacant. A Gateshead girl, she has worked from the Costa del Sol to Scotland. She has even been on UK television. Paula is dedicated to helping Cancer charities as her husband has been affected by the disease.

Gig guide

New talent is essential to keep entertainment fresh. With many of our top acts having left Spain to return to the UK, we have been left with the perfect time for new acts to become the top acts of the future. One such act is Cassi Kennedy. Newly arrived in Spain earlier this year, she did the Benidorm circuit for a few months before her good friend and top act Richie Alexander recommended her to me. With a powerful voice very much like Anastasia and a welcoming and fun personality, Cassi is exactly what every venue asks for — a great singer and personality. She is already making her

mark on the scene with repeat bookings and a growing fan base. This week I was invited to be a guest judge at a vocal talent competition. These types of events are also another good way of bringing new acts into the bars. The evening was a great way for amateurs to get in front of a real audience and practice the many skills that are needed to perform. After all, it isn’t a case of just being able to sing, one must be able to entertain the audience and make them enjoy what is happening. As I pointed out to all the contestants, they must relax and enjoy what they are doing so the audience do too. It is a whole different

Nothing to hide, nothing to fear First this week from the N332 group an important and poignant campaign. Francisco told us, “Our N332 Campaign is called ‘Nothing to hide, Nothing to fear’. We are appealing to the public not to share information about police checkpoints. When you publish information about where the Police Check Points are on social media, forums, web pages, whatsapp groups - you do not know who is really reading this information. Maybe, you are helping those who have not good intentions, to avoid these checkpoints.” Fran continued, “Please, don't help those who are afraid of police. Sometimes we do not know but there are many robbers, gangs or even members of terrorist groups, who use social media to know where police are, and you – without realising it - are helping them, publishing or sharing this information. I am not talking about speed traps as this information is published by the DGT, I am referring specifically to checkpoints.” He concluded, “Please, be safe, and help the police, do not publish and share where we are. This is the only way to catch them. This weekend, we saw what happened in Paris...tomorrow it could be in Madrid, Alicante, Torrevieja.” The N332 Facebook page has had a tremendous reaction to the Nothing to hide, Nothing to fear campaign – since it was launched on Saturday, the post has been viewed over 35,000 times and

shared almost 400 times. This week, our question comes from Tom Cavanagh. Tom asked us: This is to bring to your attention another aspect of the Spanish police approach to traffic management. Firstly the Driving in Spain initiative and the work of the police is very important work. However I experienced a very negative side to this on my recent visit to Torrevieja. It was dark afternoon, the beach was empty and there were only two other cars parked nearby. I had entered the small parking area off the end of road roundabout. I parked beside the entrance and reversed out of the parking position when leaving. I checked for any “No Exit” sign at the point I entered as there was an arrow pointing the other way further along in the car park. There was no sign and I assumed that I could exit where I entered. As I was about to exit, I heard a car horn blowing. It was the Policia Local - they were ushering me to proceed to exit and then to pull in and stop. In the following 5-10 minutes I was treated like a criminal to a harsh and intimidating experience made worse with my little or no Spanish when I could not fully explain why I was going to exit at that point. The outcome was an ‘on the spot fine’ for €500 for exiting the car park area illegally.

There are two questions which I have not been answered 1. Was I not correct when there was no sign prohibiting exit? 2. In the end I exited as I had stopped but they ushered me out. In subsequent conversations with other Torrevieja visitors, I learned about other people’s similar experiencesof being treated harshly and in an intimidating way by police. All the indications are that Torrevieja have decided that they can extract easy money from visitors to Torrevieja for very minor road offences and that this is a money making racket where visitors have little chance to defend themselves. In addition they treat innocent visitors like criminals. I suggest that the police have more interest in making money than helping visiting drivers to understand the details of the rules of the road and this new information initiative is designed to pretend otherwise. I wish you well in your work Tom Cavanagh Francisco from the Guardia Civil Traffic Department replied: “Tom, before I comment on your questions, I would need to know the exact location where the incident occurred. If you could send an address or even better, a Google maps link to the Costa Blanca People at n332@costablancapeople.com I will look into the matter and find out more.”

Motoring News Mileage Clocking Gang Arrested Officers from the Guardia Civil in Guadalajara have dismantled a gang of criminals who would manipulate the recorded mileage of vehicles in order to increase their apparent value before selling them. The gang would obtain vehicles through leasing companies created for the sole purpose of the deception and after purchasing the vehicles they would then manipulate the mileage and documentation to increase the market value, then sell them through internet portals where the vehicle history was less likely to be checked. The final transaction was usually completed in car parks and shopping centres, and so the victims had no record of the real location or address of the sellers. The gang was based in the Guadalajara and Madrid areas, but sold the vehicles across the country, conning innocent buyers into buying overpriced and potentially dangerous vehicles. In total, the investigators have identified more than 200 victims of the scam, although they believe that more victims will be revealed as the complex investigation continues. So far, victims of these scams have been located in the provinces of Guadalajara, Toledo, Ávila, Madrid, Cáceres, Castellón, Tarragona, Tenerife, Palma de Mallorca, Bizkaia,

Málaga, Jaén and Almería. In total, six people have been arrested so far, five men and a woman, all aged between 33 and 42, all suspected of the crimes of fraud, forgery and conspiracy. One arrestee has already entered prison having been wanted in connection with other offences. An additional eight people are also under investigation. During the raids, the officers recovered documentation, numerous car keys, mobile phones, cash, computer equipment and business stamps for six companies. Francisco from the N332 group advises, “If you are purchasing a secondhand car you can check the vehicle´s history yourself via the DGT´s website. There are a number of articles about buying and selling a used car in Spain on this website, just look at the driving in Spain FAQ list on the web page N332.es, and you should always complete a sales record form and take copies of documents from the seller. It is also wise to use a reputable dealer, such as our supporters at Autos Direct, where the history of the transaction is recorded and maintained.” Send your questions about driving in Spain to n332@costablancapeople.com Don’t forget you can find more advice about driving in Spain at www.facebook.com/TorreviejaTrafficDepart ment and from the website N332.es

Speed limit change Plans that were being proposed to up the speed limit on Spain's motorways to 130 kilometres per hour have been scrapped and secondary roads will soon have their speed limits reduced down to 90 kilometres per hour. The General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) had intended to increase the limit on motorways in certain areas where conditions were considered to be safe enough, in response to the fact that cars today are more powerful, faster and have better braking systems than several decades ago when the speed limits were initially introduced. It would also make it easier to enforce the limits by giving more of a free rein to drivers to use their own discretion. In addition, toll companies felt a higher speed limit would encourage more drivers to use the motorways. The trend, since the onset of the recession, is for motorists to be more inclined to take the back roads in order to avoid paying everincreasing A-road fees and therefore toll firms are losing money. However, the DGT has come up against a wall of opposition from various quarters, including the Association of Road Accident Victims, the ministries of the interior and of public works, and politicians from other parties. Instead, and to create the 'incentive' to use motorways without changing their existing speed limit of 120 kilometres per hour, the DGT will reduce the speed limits of secondary roads from its current 100 kilometres per hour to 90 kilometres per hour. According to the DGT's leader María Seguí, cutting the speed limits on main non-motorway roads from 100 to 90 will prevent up to 200 road deaths a year.

Spain is one of just three European countries with a 100-kilometre-per-hour speed limit on roads other than motorways, along with Germany and Austria, with every other nation on the continent having much lower limits for minor roads. In Denmark and The Netherlands, the limit is 80 kilometres per hour and in Sweden, it is just 70 kilometres per hour. The UK's speed limit on conventional roads is only slightly lower than in Spain – given in miles per hour, it is 60, being 96 kilometres per hour, whilst 100 would be 62.5 miles per hour. Sra Seguí has not said when the speed reduction on N-roads will be brought into effect.

The locations of fixed speed cameras, which are not always visible, are published on the DGT's website and lists are available on the internet for every province in the country. They work very well and a photo of the car, together with information such as the date, time, kilometre number and speed are sent to the owner's house by post within a matter of weeks if they are caught. The DGT recently announced a socalled 'Tolerance 7' plan – fines for speeding will not apply until a driver is travelling at seven kilometres per hour above the limit, or 7 percent above the limit where this is in excess of 100 kilometres per hour.

New vehicles to have digital ITV card From 11th November 2015 all new cars, vans and lorries will be issued with a digital ITV (MOT) card. The scheme will then roll out and on 11th May 2016 the new card will be extended to new mopeds, motorbikes, quads and tricycles. The digital card will hold the detailed results of the ITV test and has been introduced following a Royal Decree dated 17th July this year. According to the DGT (Traffic General Direction) the digital information will be supplied by the manufactures, importers, and vehicle representatives (FIR). Once this data has been validated it will be stored at the DGT in a Registry of PreMatriculated Vehicles, on a database that has already been created. Then the FIR will be notified and supplied with a Vehicle Identification Number (NIVE) which is unique for each vehicle. The new system has several benefits, with regard to financing, the new DGT system will guarantee no financed vehicle will be matriculated until the financiers report to the Traffic Department that the

price has been paid. Car dealers will also send digital information to the DGT detailing the person who has purchased the vehicle enabling tighter control on the motor industry in general with a view to cutting vehicle and finance fraud. Most of the car manufactures are

already integrated into this e-ITV system, last month some 50 percent of the newly matriculated cards were already digital. The digital card does not affect the paper ITV pass certificates, which will continue to be used as valid proof of a vehicles status.

Emergency chemist In every town on the Costa Blanca, you will find a chemist open out of hours. In some larger towns such as Torrevieja, some chemists open throughout the day with no ‘siesta’, or even until 9pm and over weekends. The duty chemist can change on a weekly basis and in some towns, local pharmacies take turns to be ‘on duty’ out of hours and through the night for emergencies. If you approach an emergency chemist and it appears to be closed, look closer as often for security reasons, out of hours business is done via a small hatch

through which prescriptions, payment and medication can be passed. Consult a full list of emergency chemists for out of hours medication at: www.lasfarmaciasdeguardia.com Under the heading, “Farmacias de guardia por provincia” choose your province (Alicante or Murcia for most readers) and you will be presented with an alphabetical list of towns. Simply click the town you are in, or a nearby town, and you will be given the name of the chemist along with a Google Maps link to the location.

Quesada Golf Society Last Wednesday Quesada Golf Society travelled south and inland towards Murcia on the dual-carriageway which simply stops before reaching Murcia City and has still to be completed when Government funding becomes available some time in the future. The course we played, which is just off a completed section of the said dual carriage-way, was the ex-Polaris World course Hacienda Riquelme. We set off from Quesada with the overnight fog lifting and arrived at the course a hour later and found it still shrouded in fog. Reminded me of when I played football at Rampton prison against the prison staff in the Civil Service Cup many years ago. Clear elsewhere but the prison and its grounds shrouded in fog. A bit surreal. In consequence the earlier tee-times were put back half a hour until the fog had started to clear so this had a knock-on effect. The course was found to be in very good condition with the greens quite undulating. It is a typical Jack Nicklaus designed “desert” course with loads of bunkers and mounds of the dreaded pampas grass which line most of the fairways and a fair amount of water . Suffice it to say many balls fell victim to the pampas grass and

were never to be seen again. With the delayed late morning tee-off times the sun had almost gone down when the last couple of groups completed their

rounds. There was a reasonable turn-out of 26 players who contested 2 divisions in an individual Stableford competition. There were some decent scores and some indifferent scores on the day as the course is certainly challenging. Keep it straight which we all strive to do and you will be o.k. Stray off line and you will generally find yourself in real trouble particuarly in the damned pampas grass. The winner of the Gold Division was the Rochdale Cowboy Peter Ogden who came in with 32 points. In second place on C/B with 31 points was Bob Jones and in third place on C/B with 31 points was “camera shy”

After an awesome weekend of international 7’s rugby in Elche with the Great Britain ladies winning the women’s final and the Spanish men the men’s final, both in style. A minutes silence was held in respect to what had happened in France by all of the teams. On Friday 19 November, with the help of Victoria’s Tearooms in Almoradi, we are holding an auction to raise money for, DEBRA, the Butterfly Children. The club are auctioning off rugby memorabilia, international rugby shirts from England, Wales and Scotland, donated by Elche rugby club, and club shirts from Leicester Tigers and London Irish as well as other items that have been donated by friends. For more details you can contact the tearooms or the club itself. We also have Dennis Christian as the auctioneer for the event, so looking at plenty of people coming down to support this event and to have a great evening. All the funds raised on the night are going directly to the charity. You can contact me if you would like to put a bid in for any of the items, and are hoping to get some signed shirts from this last weekend’s tournament in Elche, so come along for a great evening and help this great

cause. Costa Cobras RFC are also still training on Monday and Wednesday from 18.0019.30 for the juniors and 20.00-21.30 for the seniors in Daya Vieja at the sports ground. So come a long and join the revolution with this new rugby club from the start and be part of something new in the area. We are looking to be able to put a team in at all levels in the league this time next year so come along and join the newest rugby team on the Costa Blanca and join the rugby revolution. All ages, gender and nationalities are welcome, from beginners to experienced players, the more the merrier, as we are based on the true traditional ethics of the sport. So come along and join the newest rugby club on the Costa Blanca.

LA MARINA GOLF SOCIETY MIKE BARBER TROPHY

Ron Perkins. Iron Brian Smith also with 31 points just missed out on a prize. In the Silver Division Manchester lass Janet Candelin took the honours with 26 points. Big John will be washing the dishes for a bit while Janet basks in the glory. In second place with 25 points was “ Power-Boat Racing Champion” David James who just pipped another “sailor” David Johnson on C/B. Didn´t they both do well on dry land. The best Guest was David Trotman. The winners of the “Nearest the Pins” were Bob Jones, Peter Ogden, John Simmons, David James, and Big Roy Kavanagh who also went home with a fistful of euro´s after taking the 2´s pot with a Birdie on the Par 3 15th. The next game is on Wednesday 25 November at the course on our doorstep, La Marquesa and will be an individual Stableford competition and also the final round of the annual eclectic competition for 2015. Anyone in the Quesada area looking to join a very friendly golf society and play golf once a fortnight at a wide variety of courses at very reasonable cost, should contact the Membership Secretary Les Pancott on 966716723.

COSTA COBRAS RFC AUCTION IN AID OF DEBRA

The location for the Mike Barber Trophy was at Vistabella Golf course. This beautiful trophy was presented to the club by the family of our late member who is still fondly remembered. Mike loved to play Texas Scramble and so a scramble it was. The wonderful November weather deserted us and the game was played in overcast conditions and it was pretty chilly at the start of the round. None of this affected play and there were only 2 points separating the teams in second to fifth places. This course is always in good condition and the greens were tricky to read however, there seemed to be a problem with actually getting tee shots onto the greens on the Par 3’s and only one prize was awarded today

The results on the day were: Nearest the Pin Hole 8 Martin Reidy First place 47 pts Alan Craig, Sarah McCabe, Roger Honey and Jimmy Scott Second Place 42 pts Vic Smith, Carol Marriner, Martin Reidy and Gerry McCabe Members made their way back to the La Marina Sports Complex where, following the wonderful food supplied by Paolo & Helena, and the delay (Martin!), the prizes were presented by the Captain. Our next games is at Vistabella on November 26th when we shall be playing for the Barclays Construction Trophy. An entry sheet is on the notice board in the Social Centre or you can call our Secretary, Alan Craig on 634 347788 for full details about this game or any other topic concerning the Society.

VEGA BAJA PREMIER GOLF LEAGUE NORTH DIVISION at ALICANTE GOLF RESORT The Vega Baja Premier Golf Leagues’ second fixture of the season at the Seve Ballesteros designed Alicante Golf, the course itself has shown considerable improvement over the past number of months and certainly the recent rain storm has helped. The sunny weather conditions boded well for the players in the League. It was good to see a good turnout of ladies in the teams’ with EuroToffs and Altea sporting two each and one with GOlfRelleu and they certainly showed their worth. To add more competitiveness, to the matches, as if there wasn’t enough already, there are Nearest the Pins and Ladies and Men’s Longest Drives. The closeness of the matches

Your week in sport ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

Yet another sporting week has rocked around folks, and what have we learned? England are not very good at oneday cricket the moment we set foot off English soil. Admittedly, this is hardly new news but it is great to be reminded of it once in a while. What, wait! We won a game? This is excellent news, and naturally the man of the match performance by opener Alex Hales means he is now the answer to all our top-of-the-order batting woes. It was his maiden one-day ton for England which led England to a 95 run victory in the second ODI. We’ll just brush over the six-wicket defeat in the first match as a friendly warm-up, we can take on the world now! Lewis Hamilton will be releasing his own version of “How to Make Friends” in the next year or so. The newly-crowned world champion talked down the plea

from his team to give fellow Mercedes drive Rosberg the chance to win some points in the Brazilian Grand Prix. How very un-British of him, being a stonecold winner who is only interested in, well, winning. Hamilton had never won in Brazil and that remains the same today. Rosberg won the race and the look on Hamilton’s face would suggest there was not much he had been allowed to do about it. Andy Murray is back in tennis action with a big month ahead of him. He is currently playing in the end-of-season ATP World Finals before heading off to play for Great Britain in the Davis Cup Final. To help his fragile back get through two of the biggest tournaments of his career he has employed a former ballet dancer. I can hear the hoots of derision already, but once again Murray has shown he is way ahead of the sporting stereotype by looking outside of conventional methods to do best by his body. After all, he can’t win Wimbledon again with a bad back, can he? In other news, the Russian athletics chief is prepared to resign following the doping scandal of the last fortnight. Well, that should clean the sport up then. This was just days after he said “Russia will not boycott the Rio Olympics” in an interesting turn of “let’s pretend we were thinking of not turning up anyway” events. The IAAF won the most obvious quote of the week award by exclaiming “Russia must end their culture of doping and scandal!” and Jon Snow grilled Seb Coe like the proverbial cheese toastie by asking him “are you corrupt too or were you just asleep on the job?” Trust me, the answer is far less interesting.

TORRY STILL LOOKING FOR AN AWAY WIN On Sunday Torry travelled to the home of the famous “La Tomatina” fiesta, Bunol to play CD Bunol a team which gained promotion to Tercera at the end of last season. They have struggled so far and going into the game were 17th in the table one place and one point below Torry. Their home record wasn’t that bad with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. In their last game they won 1-0 at Novelda. Torry were keen to build on their home win in the previous game and improve their away form, which hasn’t been good. Goals have been the real problem. Jorge was missing through suspension. Oscar was out injured and Torry didn’t have a substitute goalkeeper on the bench. Wide player Higon who has been brought in to replace the departed Juanma made his debut. The Torry line up: Miguel Serna, Vicente , Adrian Banderas, Javi Selvas, Quintero (Carrasco 76 '), Matej, Martin (Sanchez 63'), Cesar, Ruben Suarez and Lewis (Manu Amores 63 '). Not Used: Burguillos and Luis Carlos The game kicked-off in the late afternoon sunshine in front of a crowd of 250 + in the compact ground. Torry started the better and took the game to Bunol. Vicente tried his luck from range and the keeper tumbled the ball and it went for a corner which came to nothing. After 8 minutes after good build up play Adrian crossed to the back post where the ball was met with a powerful header by Cesar which the Bunol keeper kept out with a superb reaction save and another corner for Torry. The corner was back-headed across goal and Matej just failed to get his foot to it from close in. Bunol started to come into the game with a few dangerous breaks forward but Torry were still in the ascendancy. After 21 minutes Higon bore down on goal and his fierce shot was tipped over the top for a corner. The corner was not dealt with and Adrian had a shooting chance which he fired into the side-netting. After 23 minutes a bullet shot from Ruben Suarez produced another fine reaction save from the Bunol keeper. After 31 minutes controversy as Matej and an opponent went to ground in the Bunol

penalty area with Matej clearly having his shirt pulled. The referee pointed to the penalty spot. The Bunol players protested and the word “Burro – Burro” resounded from the stand. The natives were not happy but the referee had been brave and correct in awarding the spot kick. Cesar took it with the keeper going the right way and stopping it with another excellent save. This seemed to stare Bunol into action and after 35 minutes a Bunol forward struck a fierce shot which flashed just wide of the post. After 41 minutes Torry keeper Serna produced a wonderful reaction save to keep a powerful header out. In the 43 minute Torry Vicente gave a daft free-kick away in the corner. Bunol took the freekick quickly and the ball was driven hard and low across the Torry goal. No Torry defender got near it and it was struck home from close range for a goal to give Bunol the lead just before the break. Torry had switched off and not got themselves organised for the quickly taken free-kick and it proved very costly. Torry started the second-half on the front foot but lacked physicality up front and as the game wore on Bunol threatened with an excellent opportunity struck into the side-netting and a close range header planted straight into the grateful arms of Serna. After 56 minutes a great ball from Suarez put Quintero in but his first touch let him down. After 61 minutes Cesar was played in with his cross-shot

SPAIN 2 – ENGLAND 0 – in Alicante Billed as an international ‘friendly’ the two teams met on a still November evening in the Estadio Rico Perez, in front of a packed crowd of almost 30,000, including an estimated 4,000 noisy English supporters, singing

lustily to the chimes of the National Anthem. Both sides had walked through qualifying for the European Championships, against mediocre opposition, so this was a real chance for coaches to test their mettle.

Spain started with several important absentees, Sergio Ramos, Carvajal, Juanfran, Isco and Silva all sidelined by injury, whilst England had a not-fully-fit Rooney on the bench. When play got under way, Iniesta immediately showed his class, running deep into the England defence, and providing passes of quality. Diego Costa, despite a lot of scurrying around, proved unable to get the better of a well-marshalled defence, in which Jones was outstanding. On the rare occasions that the white-shirted English side countered, Barkley was usually there or thereabouts, but Bartra proved more than capable of stemming any threat. The now almost ‘traditional’ whistling at Piqué gradually turned to praise as he produced some good balls out of defence. Thiago Alcántara had to be replaced by Santi Cazorla when he went down injured, but there was no further incident until halftime. When the second period began, Del Bosque took Iniesta off, and brought

on Nolito, the Celta forward – he immediately started to torture the right side of the English defence. Something had to give, and after 72 minutes, a cross found Mario at the corner of the area, and the Villareal man unleashed a scorching drive which left Hart no chance at all. 1-0. It was his second in two games for the national side. Hodgson brought on Rooney in an effort to level the score, but Santi Cazorla put the game beyond the visitors’ reach with a precise shot with some seven minutes left. Iker Casillas had one save to make before the fimnal whistle to make it 100 matches without conceding a goal, out of the 165 internationals he has played. On this form, England have some way to go if they are to mount a challenge next summer, whilst Spain will feel quietly confident. Malcolm Palmer

striking the far post. On 63 minutes Torry made a double substitution bring on the returning Manu Amores and Sanchez for Lewis and Martin. After 68 minutes the Bunol no.16 received a second yellow card his marching orders for not retreating for a free-kick to Torry. The crowd bayed for the blood of the referee. After 70 minutes Vicente was found wanting and asleep from another quickly taken free-kick which presented a clear chance for Bunol but was wasted. After 74 minutes an excellent opportunity for Torry to level after a good ball in from Suarez was headed across goal by Higon to Cesar who failed to get it under control and somehow managed to run the ball out instead of putting it into the back of the net. The pressure from Torry intensified as Bunol parked the bus. Torry couldn’t find a way through. On 90 minutes another Bunol player was dismissed for a second bookable offence and they were down to 9 men. Torry couldn’t find a way through in time added-on and Bunol saw the contest out for a win in a game Torry should have got at the very least a point out of. On Sunday Torry are at home to Paterna, 5.00 pm kick-off. They desperately need to win to remain outside the relegation zone. The match is being played at the Nelson Mandella opposite the Vicente Garcia which is undergoing maintenance work on the pitch. Darrylldinho

The more eagle eyed amongst you will have realised that there was no top flight football in the major leagues this weekend, due to it being an international week. “Hurrah!” cried all the managers of the Premier League as the vast majority of their personnel flew all around the world to play in meaningless fixtures that nobody, including the players, seem to care about that much anymore. Ireland, I exempt you from the last statement as you found a cunning way of playing more matches that mean something by failing to qualify automatically for Euro 2016. You might sense that I am not a fan of international friendlies. You would be wise to sense this. I give you exhibit ‘a’ as to why they are a complete waste of time, in my humble opinion. Jesse Lingaard has been called up to the England squad to play France on Tuesday. Lingaard, 22, (he plays for Manchester United just in case you didn’t know and, frankly, nobody could blame you if you didn’t) has played a total of four times in the Premier League this season. Yes, four times. Nathan Redmond plays for Norwich, and plays very, very well for them. According to most leading football websites Redmond is only second to Robbie Brady in terms of performance at Norwich and is considered, by the very same websites, to be the fourth highest performing English midfielder in the

Premier League. Has he been called up? Of course not, he plays for Norwich. Another one much higher on the performance lists? Danny Drinkwater of Leicester. Called up? Not a chance. Leicester maybe higher than United in the table, but they already have their token player in the squad. Having two would be crazy! Marc Albrighton, also of Leicester is performing much better than Oxlade-Chamberlein of Arsenal. If fit, which one would Roy choose? Finally, then I shall move on I promise, Jack Cork is playing better than Michael Carrick. Which one is Roy likely to choose to play at the base of his midfield? I have veered slightly from the original point of exhibit ‘a’. Caps are thrown around like confetti to the latest young thing playing for one of the top clubs, whereas players of a higher performance level playing for a less fashionable club have to wait, wait and wait some more. If Roy picked some of them, I might have been interested in the 2-0 defeat to Spain and the likely dull draw with France at Wembley. Ireland, in the fog, got a valuable 1-1 draw away in Bosnia-Herzegovina which gives them an excellent chance of joining every other country, bar Scotland, from playing in France next summer. Robbie Brady’s goal means that Ireland will progress if they keep a clean sheet in the return game on Monday night. Having said

that, their defence includes John O’Shea so I would suggest O’Neill sends the lads out to get a couple on the scoreboard. Wales showed they can score goals without Gareth Bale, but lost 3-2 to Holland in a friendly. Hello to our Scandinavian reader! Sweden beat Denmark 2-1 in a play-off to put them in the box seat to qualify through the back door. Hungary rolled back the years to the 1950’s with a fantastic 3-1 aggregate win over Norway. Northern Ireland continued their party, beating Latvia 1-0 in a friendly. So all eyes will be on Ireland on Monday night and there will be some other matches that will probably include some debuts that will end up being “one-cap wonder” quiz questions in coming years. I cannot wait for the Premier League to recommence so I can watch Jose continue to self-combust.
