A COMMUNITY IN SHOCK UNE 23RD 2016 WILL GO DOWN in history. It was perhaps ironic that the results of the referendum were set against the backdrop of fireworks and bonfires of San Juan. The British public made the decision with a surprising 51.9 per cent to support Brexit and leave the European Union and 48.1 per cent voting against. However, voters were far from united in this momentous referendum. The victory reflected a divided country; in location, qualification and age. Those over 60 were most likely to vote to leave the EU as were those with a GCSE or equivalent as their highest qualification. Voters for Brexit largely came from DE social class (semi-skilled or unskilled), were in
casual labour or pensioners. Brexit voters were particularly concentrated in northern Britain with Northern Ireland (44.2 per cent), London (40.1%) and Scotland (38 per cent) recording the least leave votes. What the fall out will be is only speculation. The Leave voters have voted for the unknown and now the package of what exactly it will mean must be put together. A package that will be both complex and extensive.
A swift response from the EU If the UK was under any illusion that Europe would want to hold onto their membership as long as possible this was soon shattered. The presidents of the European council, commission and parliament
soon announced that there should be no delay to Britain’s exit as this would only ‘unnecessarily prolong uncertainty’. The UK is the first sovereign country who has voted to leave and is being urged to trigger article 50 of the Lisbon treaty as soon as possible tobegin the process of separation. The EU is keen to prevent a chain reaction following Britain’s exit. This means they will not want the UK to appear to emerge easily from the relationship or without paying a penalty. Already any access to the single market has been ruled out. Following the resignation of David Cameron there will be a delay of at least three months before article 50 can be set in motion as only the

The PP increase their share of the vote On Sunday 27th June, Spain had a second general election to try and establish one party with an overall majority to govern Spain. This follows the election in December 2015 when no party had a majority and despite some attempts, none could form a workable coalition. The results of the election on Sunday formed a similar pattern to those in December but the PP (Partido Popular) managed to pick up more votes than previously.However, the total of 137 seats they secured this time is still not sufficient for them to govern outright as they would need a total of 176 seats. PP (centre right) 137 seats (33.03%) PSOE (centre left) 85 seats (22.66%) UnidosPodemos (anti-austerity and left wing) 71 seats (21.1%) Ciudadanos (centre right) 32 seats (13.05%) This is the third election in succession that Mariano Rajoy has won. The coalition between Podemos and IzquierdaUnida (IU), formed prior to the election, has failed to attract more votes and, in fact, the left appear to be in a weaker position than they were previously. The polls wrong again Once more the polls did not reflect accurately how people finally voted. They had predicted that Podemos would pick up more votes from the PSOEto overtake them and challenge the PP. In effect this did not happen although their other prediction that Ciudadanos would lose votes back to the PP did. Local results The picture in Torrevieja showed a similar trend towards more votes for the PP. The PP were the largest party with a total of 10,239 votes (41.63%) followed by
Podemos/ Compromís/ IU in second place with 5,233 votes (21.27%) and PSOE close behind with 5,56 votes (20.56%). Ciudadanos also lost out on some votes, presumably to the PP and returned a count of 3,228 (13.12%). The success of the PP in Orihuela was even greater than the national picture. They received a clear majority with 51.56% of the vote followed by the PSOE with 18.83% and Podemos in third place with 14.05%. Ciudadanos came in just below them with 13.12%.
whatever agreement is made between the PP and PSOE, PSOE would be the much weaker partner and subsequently lose its standing as representative of the left in future elections. Will Pedro Sanchez (leader of the PSOE) be prepared to work with Mariano Rajoy? Rajoy has doggedly resisted any attempt to remove him from leadership of the PP in spite of his lack of charisma and rather limp leadership style. With an increased vote this time around it is hard to see how he might be persuaded to stand down.
A workable coalition? So what combinations could take the country forward from here? There are no obvious, easy alliances. The only coalition that could form a majority government is that of PSOE and PP together. This would be a similar scenario to Labour and the Conservatives forming one government in the UK. Although it would just be possible for all the other parties to combine to form a government and keep the PP out, it is hard to see how this would be manageable. The PSOE and PP together may be the only workable option but it is unlikely to appease those wanting a new social framework and an end to austerity. The PSOE has already shown a willingness to form alliances before with a pact formed between themselves and Ciudadanos following the December election. The PP and PSOE are strange bedfellows perhaps,but there seems to be no other alternative. With the current share of the vote the alliance of the PP and PSOE would form a very similar scenario to that of the alliance in 2010 between the Conservatives and theLiberal Democrats. It is likely that
Gibraltar The combination of Brexit on Thursday and the results from Sunday could be disastrous for those wishing to retain Gibraltar under British sovereignty. Mariano Rajoy now looks set to stay and the PP party have made it clear that they believe Gibraltar should be returned to Spain. Without the protection of the EU and the PP in charge, it looks like there could be turbulent times ahead for the rock. What now? We can expect a tough line from Rajoy when it comes to the negotiations around the British in Spain and the Spanish in Britain. The issue of Gibraltar could also make coming to an amicable settlement between the two more difficult. The continuing issue, also faced in the UK, is that of increasing inequality and the unpredictable results that disillusionment can have on an electorate. If a PP and PSOE coalition is achieved let’s hope that they are not only sympathetic to the plight of those who’ve chosen to make Spain their home but also to those who still have no respite from austerity.

San Juan without a hitch BITE SIZE In spite of the curious mixture of sand, bonfires and late night celebrations, San Juan went on without a hitch in Torrevieja on June 23rd.

The only small incident recorded all night was that of someone who was detained for not respecting authority. Police had been positioned along the beaches and they had also accompanied the beach cleaners later. The cleaners altogether collected 40,000 kilos of rubbish which was more than last year. Thirty people took part in the clean up

On the Acequión beach most of those enjoying the activities were families whilst more young people were celebrating on Los Náufragos. Later on some areas became more like large outdoor nightclubs.

Rubble dump denounced BITE SIZE The neighbourhood association of San Miguel Archangel has denounced a huge dump several meters high and containing tons of debris and rubble. The eyesore is located on Calle Los Hernandez in urbanization El Mirador de Mediterraneo. The mounds are formed by dirt, debris and the remains of building work that allegedly come from the foundations and building plot that is right in front of the dump across the street. The rubble dump is located, according to the urban plan, in a green area and so is illegal. Also a mere twenty meters down, on the same street and green area the association has reported a cleared space where a booth has been placed to promote a new development. It is the laying of the foundations for these new builds that is being cited as behind the huge rubble dump.
Huge eyesore
The association believes that commercial the use for the land and the waste dump are incompatible with the character of of designated ‘green area’ and alos one where the space is supposed to be a public benefit. The association said that it finds the lax stance shown by the Local Government ‘incomprehensible’ and that it should be much more concerned with the ‘preserving this beautiful natural area’ and the inconvenience caused to local residents – both of which were totally avoidable. Archangel has called for the immediate stop to what it describes as ‘the degradation of space’ and requested that it be restored immediately to its original state by the construction company that is responsible.

courts in the town to find out more about their needs and ways to improve them through telecommunications. There are concerns about Torrevieja’s courts with cases suffering from long delays and a need for new premises to be built. On average it takes 36 months to resolve a criminal case in Torrevieja when the national average is 16 months.

Torrevieja’s campaign to protect the turtle Torrevieja town hall is presenting a campaign to Valencia aimed at protecting sea turtles captured accidentally by professional fishermen. The problem has been made worse due to pollution and humans in areas where the turtle usually lays its eggs. When fisherman detect that they have caught a turtle they are urged to call 112. Even though the turtle may not appear to be injured, internal injuries may not be visible to the naked eye. The council has produced leaflets that include a set protocol for fishermen to follow. The fishing of sea turtles is strictly prohibited both by national and EU law. However, turtles that have been accidentally caught can be taken on board as long as the authorities have been informed. If 112 has been called then experts will be waiting at the port to collect the turtle and take it to the Oceanográfico in Valencia where it can be checked and taken care of before returning it to the sea.
Torrevieja classic cars The Torrevieja Classics and Specialists Car Club held its first treasure hunt for several years on Sunday the 19th June. Fourteen cars met at the Lo Monte Hotel and set out in a test of local knowledge, anagrams and to find a range of strange objects.

The papers were checked during lunch and the winners were John and Di with 84 points followed by Frank and Jean on 78 points and Dieter and Isla as winners of the wooden spoon.

Successful compensation claim
Summer school registration open
Compensation claims are not usually linked to Spain. However, Torrevieja council has just had to pay out a claim of €75,000 as compensation for a fall at the intersection of Calle Apolo and Calle Tomillo. The payout was one of the most expensive that Torrevieja has seen and was as a result of the level of severity of the fall whichled to surgery. The woman fell whilst walking on the pavement at about 6.00 am April 6th 2010. The court judged that the town council was responsible for not keeping the streets in good repair. The woman stumbled over two pipes that were 15 centimetres above the ground. The street was also insufficiently lit at the time which meant that she did not see the obstruction. The fall led to a fracture from which she was recovering for more than two months. After the woman had fallen she had to be assisted by employees in Bar Avenida who then called for medical assistance. Following the accident the pipes were removed. The claim took six years to be awarded. Suzanne O’Connell

Spanish entrepreneurs create blue wine Forget about red, white and rose – a new variety of wine is about to land in shops and it’s blue. Six young entrepreneurs set up Spanish firm Gik in order to revolutionise Spanish wine industry, where wine is deeply attached to tradition. The drink is made using varieties of red and white grapes from around Spain, including the wine regions of Castilla la Mancha and Rioja. It uses Anthocyanin, a pigment from the red grapes’ skin, and indigotine, which is derived from plants, give the wine its bluish colouring. Non-caloric sweeteners are then used to modify the flavour and create a sweet drink with 11.5 per cent alcohol per volume. The entrepreneurs claim to have already sold around 70,000 bottles in Spain within a year and their blue wine will be available online for UK consumers in the coming months, with each bottle costing £8. According to Gik’s online data early clients are equally split between men and women and aged between 25 and 34 years old. The wine makers suggest pairing the tipple with sushi, nachos with guacamole or pasta carbonara with music from James Blake or Alt J in the background. Aritz Lopez, co-founder of Gik, said that in Spain new generations are not used to traditional wine, they prefer beers, liquors or cocktails. “None of us liked traditional
wine, so we decided to start a little revolution by creating a sweet, easy to drink and blue wine,” Lopez said. “We are no winemakers and we don’t even have family links in the industry. Gik spent two years working with the University of the Basque Country, which provided them with a laboratory and a team of chemical engineers. The colour choice was inspired by a book called the Blue Ocean Strategy where blue denotes creativity and innovation and an environment where everyone is free.

absolute normality. However, the Minister for Foreign Affairs asserted that ‘A Spanish flag on the Rock of Gibraltar is much closer.’ Spain is anxious to ensure that those Spaniards living and working in the UK have their rights protected. It is estimated that there are around 100,000 Spanish citizens living in the UK and any negotiations will need to include reference to terms and conditions for them too. It was not only Rajoy who had comments to make on the referendum result. Albert Rivera, leader of Ciudadanos (centre right), said that this was a victory for fear and bitterness. Pedro Sánchez of the PSOE (centre left) described it as the result of an irresponsible right wing government and the populism of UKIP. Pablo Iglesias for Podemos (antiausterity) said it was ‘the saddest day for Europe’ but also an indication that the EU needs to look closely at itself. José Manuel Dolon, mayor of Torrevieja, is keen to emphasise that all nationalities can expect fair treatment in Torrevieja. They are already used to supporting and working with people from many different countries and not just those that are in the EU. He recognises how momentous this decision is but that it’s making was part of a democratic process and, as such, must be respected. However there is still a long way to go in recognising what the implications will be and much must still rest with how the EU themselves decide to deal with Brexit and the need to consolidate the union and avoid other countries following in their footsteps. The future will also come down to
reciprocity. There are many Spanish people living in the UK and the future arrangements for those living in Spain will also depend upon the agreement that is reached in relation to their rights over there too.
The Ambassador responds The British Ambassador, Simon Manley, emphasised that as yet nothing has changed and you can still live and work in Spain, travel freely and do not have to apply for a new passport. Following the election of a new prime minister in October the process of negotiations will begin. Until then there should not be any noticeable differences for those living in or visiting Spain. The period of deciding on the new relationship could last a couple of years and during that time the UK will remain a full member of the European Union.
What it means for expats At this early stage there are no sure answers about what exactly the future will hold for the expat community in Spain. Reporting in the Guardian, Jon Henley, points out that under the 1969 Vienna convention on the law of treaties there are what’s called ‘acquired rights’ for those already living in another country. However, there is uncertainty about the full extent of these and it could be that they do not cover benefits, pensions and healthcare. Three of the main issues of concern. Some of the safeguards around property taxes might also be lost. Recently EU legislation meant that residents and non-residents of EU countries have had to be charged the same level of inheritance tax. Out of the EU, British citizens may find they no longer benefit from these more favourable terms.
Those relying on income from the year will immediately be affected by changes in the exchange rate as will anyone who works virtually and is paid in sterling or pensioners who receive their income directly from the UK. Ultimately whatever the changes do turn out to be, it is unlikely that expats’ rights here will improve and they would seem to be more vulnerable to the decisions of Spanish politicians without the safeguards of a higher court. What iscertain is that those wishing to come and live in Spain will find it more difficult to do so. This is particularly likely to be the case if the UK puts more obstacles in the way of Spanish people wanting to cross its borders.
Your response Not surprisingly, Facebook and the Forums have been busy not only with recriminations but also with associations offering their support and words of comfort. Help Vega Baja have messaged their community: Following the vote to leave the EU there will, without doubt, be many questions from expats about their future. We have been told throughout the campaign that if the vote to leave was successful, negotiations between governments would begin and this will take some time. When a statement is put out by the Consulate here in Spain, we will publish it here for you, together with any other official information that is channeled through charities in the area. The President, Michele Masson, is aware that the consulate will be snowed under at the moment. ‘I think it’s important,’ says Michele, ‘that people realise that we, and other charities, will be doing whatever we can to keep people informed. The worry is the usual ‘man in the bar’ stories that circulate and cause so many people worries, often unnecessarily.’ Bay radio have announced a whole week focused around ‘Brexit – the Expat Impact’ and some currency companies are extending their opening hours to deal with additional queries. For those who are particularly anxious and suffering from emotional distress then the Samaritans in Spain are available for you to call on 900 525 100 or by emailing pat@samaritansinspain.com Reader Karina Bowen-Paterson told us her view: “I don't think that people with ties to two different countries have considered the consequences. Even though I have British citizenship I have close friends who are in Britain on visas, people that pay taxes and in essence keep the people who are British born and bred but have never bothered to work. Their lives here could be at risk in the future. I'm now concerned about the cost of wanting to visit my own mum and family in Spain, where I was born, but due to living in Scotland in years to come it may not be affordable.”
On the Orihuela Costa, Sophia Alvarez, Councillor for the Coast, Orihuela Town Hall said: “The most important thing is for people not to panic, we don’t know what will happen for sure until the new rules and leaders are in place. I will try and give you all as much support as possible in the changes, but I recommend to everyone living now and working in Spain to be legal and have all correct documents to help with keeping all services in Spain.” Bob Houliston, former councillor for the Coast and ex-president of CLARO said, “Like most Brits, I was stunned by the result of the referendum and I am deeply concerned about its consequences. I am saddened for the UK as a country because we have opened up a Pandora's box of complications, risks and dangers. I do not believe that the country can end up in a better position and with a better deal than we have with the EU already. People have been misled and all will now have to face the consequences of a decision which 52 per cent of voters were persuaded to support.” Ian Comaskey, owner of Comaskey Properties and Spanish Solutions said, “Personally I feel the Brexit is a massive mistake economically for Britain and for British manufacturing/exports. It looks like the electorate have not thought this one through. Where can Britain now sell their cars, machinery, chemicals, oil if they are outside the common market? We are confident that when the British population realise uncertainty is not good for the UK, people will want to get out of there, Spain still being the most popular location for British people to relocate to. They have two years to fix the mistake of this election result and by then, many hundreds of thousands of British people will already have moved here. We sold our first house to a British buyer today, (Friday)
Norman Marks, Regional Manager for the Costa Blanca at Moneycorp said, “The corporate stance of Moneycorp throughout the EU referendum process has been to retain a neutral position. That aside, as people who live and work in Spain, everyone in our local offices completely empathise with the anxieties expressed by our customers, in relation to the uncertainties that lie ahead, both in relation to fiscal and social circumstances and with their financial affairs. As a result of the decision for Britain to leave the EU, we have seen the value of the pound decrease dramatically and we completely appreciate the impact this will have on many people who depend on converting sterling as their main source of income. Conversely, for people repatriating funds to the UK, they have an opportunity to benefit from the weak pound. Currency markets are in a constant state of flux and as such, our services are designed to guide all our customers in relation to their particular requirement. Registered customers are entitled to free market guidance from their allocated dealer and we believe that this, at least, will help people to manage their international payments as future developments unfold.”
Whichever way people voted it is generally accepted that we’re now in unknown waters. The concern is that a deeply divided community, both in the UK and abroad, must find some way of establishing calm and come to terms with their differences. Suzanne O’Connell

Welcome to Torrevieja’s golden mile It stretches from the Casino on Paseo Vistalegre to Las Columnas at Punta Margalla; Torrevieja’s seafront paseo that heaves with strolling holiday makers through July and August. This ‘golden mile’ of shops, bars, ice cream parlours and restaurants might share some features with its Blackpool namesake but the resemblance is slight and the differences great. Here are tenimportant features of this popular part of Torrevieja: 1. It’s not cheap to have a shop or bar on the golden mile. In some cases businesses pay more than €6,000 a month in rent and even the cheapest can be as much as €3,000 – you won’t get anything on here for less. 2. In addition to paying for the rent of the building, businesses also have to pay the town hall for outside areas that they use. In many cases these ‘terraces’ are where all the business takes place and the interior of the building might only be used as a kitchen and for storage. 3. 90% of business is done outside and so outside areas are hotly contested between establishments. A few months ago the town hall had to paint lines delineating the agreed territory of each business in order to try and prevent disputes and protect the public paseo 4. There is an absence of cash machines once you leave the PaseoVistalegre. 5. Many of the bars and restaurants have revamped their image and gone are the metal chairs and tables, replaced by comfortable armchairs and sofas. 6. There has been a reduction in the illegal hawking on the golden mile – although it still does occur just after 12.00 pm when the police shifts change over 7. It’s the perfect place for spending a low-cost
family evening. You don’t have to spend a penny if you don’t want to but can casually meander down the paseo, browse and gaze out to sea for free 8. It’s very clean! Every morning the council workers are out to clean up after the night before – this is one area that shows off Torrevieja at its best 9. Watch out for thieves on la playa del Cura – they take note of swimmers who leave their belongings on the sand. 10. Foreigners are considered to be the biggest spenders with visitors from Scandinavia, Britain, Russia and Belgium the most lucrative for bars and restaurants to tempt. It might be a nightmare to park but at least one trip a year to join the hubbub on the golden mile should be in every body’s diary. Suzanne O’Connell

SPANISH BANKS SET TO PAY BILLIONS IN COMPENSATION TO BRITISH VICTIMS OF COSTA PROPERTY CRASH • Spanish Supreme Court ruling offers hope to the estimated 100,000 Britons who became casualties of Spain’s financial meltdown • Judgment will force Spanish banks to hand back as much as £4bn to Brits who paid deposits for holiday homes that were never built • Average deposit paid per property was around £40,000, with victims now able to claim a full refund plus interest A landmark judgment by Spain’s Supreme Court could finally offer closure to the estimated 100,000 Britons whose dreams of owning a place in the sun ended in a nightmare. The ruling paves the way for anyone who paid a deposit to secure an “off-plan” property – but lost it in Spain’s financial crisis – to claim back the money. The Spanish costas are still littered with unfinished holiday homes after the country’s financial meltdown in 2008 drove hundreds of property developers out of business. Would-be buyers who had paid deposits averaging £40,000 never saw their money again as building firms went bankrupt or simply disappeared. But now a decision by Spain’s highest court to hold banks responsible for the missing money deposited in their accounts could allow British victims to claim back up to £4bn in lost deposits, according to research by the lawfirm Spanish Legal Reclaims. Despite the lack of official data, the firm estimates that Spanish banks could be forced to refund up to £15bn to “off-plan” buyers from across Europe who lost their deposits in the crash. They include Stephanie Davis and her late husband who lost around €75,000 on a house they tried to buy on the Costa del Sol. They bought it "off plan", and had paid a deposit and several additional payments, totalling half of the €150,000 asking price. They were within days of completing the purchase when the developer, Martinsa Fadesa went into liquidation and she was promised that she would get her money back… but so far she has received just €700! Stephanie is now retired and living in straitened circumstances after losing so much money. She is desperately hoping that the ruling will force the bank that held her money on behalf of the developer to pay it back. She says, “If I could get my money back that would be amazing” With more Britons owning a holiday home in Spain than any other nationality, UK citizens were hit disproportionately hard by Spain’s catastrophic property crash. Spanish Legal Reclaims’ research shows that as many as 100,000 Britons who had paid deposits to reserve an off-plan property in Spain lost some or all their money when the country’s construction industry imploded. Emilio Alvarez, Legal strategist at Spanish Legal Reclaims, explains: “As relatively small creditors, their chances of getting back their money from a bankrupt developer through the conventional insolvency process were virtually nil. “But the ruling by Spain’s Supreme Court sets a crucial precedent – that the banks that held buyers’ deposits can in many cases be held liable for their loss. “While this is wonderful news for the thousands of Britons who became innocent victims of Spain’s financial meltdown, the banks have proved reluctant to pay back what they owe without a fight. “Spanish Legal Reclaims has unparalleled expertise in this area of law, and has formed a dedicated legal team to help non-Spaniards who lost out lodge a successful claim and win their money back.” Spanish Legal reclaims can be contacted by telephone in Spain on 93 680 4563 or in the UK on 0845 680 3849. Alternatively by email to: info@spanishlegalreclaims.com. Also visit: www.spanishlegalreclaims.com
Sources The projections provided are based on multiple sources of Spanish public and private institutions and construction sector data. No single official dataset exists showing the numbers of Britons affected by Spain’s property crash, or the precise number of deposits lost. Spanish Legal Reclaims has extensive knowledge of the market, and its research shows that around 100,000 UK citizens had paid deposits to reserve “off-plan” property that was under construction at the time of the 2008 financial crisis. With an average deposit of £40,000, the banks could be forced to repay as much as £15bn to buyers of all
nationalities who lost their money, and £4bn to British victims alone. Spain’s Supreme Court has ruled that banks and property developers are jointly liable for buyer deposits that were not ring-fenced from the developer’s bank account. The vast majority of banks failed to do so, meaning that if a developer went bankrupt the buyer deposits were lost. With failed developers no longer trading, the banks are now liable for buyers’ lost money. Successful claimants are entitled to a full refund plus interest.

Feral cats in Brit arrested at airport San Miguel The local neighbourhood association Archangel San Miguel has urged the town’s local government to address the problem of feral cats, saying there are several colonies causing inconvenience to residents. In a statement the association say that the existence of the cats can cause health problems, odors, noise during the mating season and excrement. This, it says has led to numerous complaints by local residents to the neighbourhood association. It is now calling on the local government, on the grounds on public health and safety to control the population of these cats. Many surrounding boroughs in the province have recently undertaken measures to control colonies of cats by sterilising them and the association believes that San Miguel needs to do the same. It is also recommending that the local government makes it a legal requirement that pets – predominantly cats and dogs – are fitted with a microchip in order to monitor the proper sanitary control and also to help with pets that are lost or stolen.

A British fugitive, aged 66 years old has been caught at Valencia airport. The fugitive is wanted for drug-dealing and was been arrested in Valencia airport two days after a warrant was issued by Thames Valley Police for his arrest. The National Crime Agency (NCA) alerted the Guardia Civil that the 66-yearold man may have been planning to meet with another person in the trafficking
chain at the airport in Manises. Spanish police kept a vigil, and caught the pensioner in the terminal. He is expected to be extradited shortly. The arrest sends a clear message that criminals will not be able to hide in Spain despite the Brexit vote. Just because Britan has opted out of the EU, agreements in place between forces across the continent of Europe will continue to operate as usual.

Seagate Wealth Management Beware rise in pension scams with around 60 savers a month being targeted by crooks in 2016
A
major insurer says the number of customers asking to transfer their pensions to suspected scams has tripled. Aegon says 60 savers a month are being targeted by crooks in 2016, up from 20 last year. The fraudsters typically cold-call victims and offer free pension reviews. They then promise big returns if customers transfer cash into risky investments such as wine or overseas property. Savers who sign up risk losing their nest eggs — either because their cash is stolen or lost in risky schemes. Victims of so-called pension liberation scams who take nest eggs early can also be hit by hefty 55 per cent tax charges. At Seagate Wealth Management, we all come to work every day to help Expats make the most of their finances. We are a team of Independent Financial Advisers that have previously worked for some of the UK´s leading banks including TSB, Barclays, Halifax and Lloyds Bank.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE After months of campaigning and ensuing result uncertainty, referendum – or neverendum – week was finally upon us. Such has been the level of global interest surrounding this historic vote that most other market influencing variables took a back seat to what has been described as‘the biggest decision in a generation’. As the week commenced the pound was trading an average of 1.6% higher against the other dozen most activelytraded currencies, compared with last Friday mornings opening levels, having been stimulated by a swing from Leave to Remain in the latest opinion polls. Consequently the pound picked up a half euro cents. In terms of the bookies outlook on proceedings, the odds were increased against Britain Leaving the EU to 3/1 while Remaining was the odds-on favourite in this two-horse race at 1/4. Having sent sterling sharply higher at the beginning of referendum week, investors backed off the gas, allowing the pound to remain fairly comfortably within the upper reaches of its daily range. Anti-Brexit sentiment emanating from opinion polls may have been good news for the pound but it was hampering the single currency, which was languishing at the back of the pack having lost another cent to a buoyant sterling. The opinion-poll-driven euphoria that began at the weekend was enormously helpful to the pound, taking it an average of 3% higher over the first three days of the week. However, it has not been enough to offset the losses suffered by the pound earlier in the year. Sterling is still
down by an average of -5.5% from its position on 1 January. The referendum easily overshadowed the ecostats: none was of great importance; Canadian retail sales increased by 0.9% in April, slightly more than expected; Euroland consumer confidence was roughly steady at -7.3; US existing home sales were up by 1.8% in May, as forecast; Rightmove put the average asking price for a UK house at £310.5k in June, about £100k more than the average selling price. Federal Reserve chairperson Janet Yellen made her second visit to Congress, this time to face the House Financial Services Committee: she had nothing new to say about monetary policy. It will not go down as the best ever week for the euro. Until Thursday it was not doing too badly, up by nearly one US cent. Over the six days it lost four cents to sterling, which was riding a wave of optimism that Britain would vote to Remain in the EU. However, it soon became clear that Brexit was no longer an unexpected possibility but a reality, as the Leave campaign secured a narrow 51.9% majority on Friday morning, before David Cameron said he would resign as prime minister Sterling bore the brunt of investors' anguish, dropping 15 cents against the US dollar, but the euro suffered too with a fourUS-cent drop. On the week as a whole the euro is four and a half cents higher against sterling and three cents lower against the dollar. Whilst Britain's decision to Leave is plainly bad for the pound it is also negative for the euro, which could now face an existential crisis.
Red Cross employment project
The Red Cross and the City of Guardamar have joined forces to help long-term unemployed people find a job. The project is aimed at encouraging the employment of the long-term unemployed who experience difficulty in re-entering the labour market. Through its Employment Plan, the Red Cross is helping to find jobs for 13 unemployed people from the city. The group has been trained in areas of greater and better employability and have performed work experience in local companies in the area. The focus of the training course has been on food and cooking and local restaurant s collaborating have included: El Jardin, El Bocaito, El Pil Pil, Rincon de Pedro, Hotel Guardamar, Chema, La Ñora and the Yacht Club. The Red Cross course not only taught students to perform basic culinary tasks but to learn key culinary skills. The training was complemented by cross-food handler modules and risk prevention, as well as basic studies of gender equality are also
provided as are units on the environment, employment searching and the competences, rights and duties of workers. It is hoped that the course will improve the students chances of getting a job in the local community. One participant said: “Participating in this project has allowed me prepare better and learn a new professional sector. I appreciate the opportunity given and hope to find a job in the sector.” The course called ‘Basic Kitchen Operations’ was launched two months ago and the recent closing ceremony saw the group rewarded with the awarding of a diploma. Adelaida Plaza, President of the Assembly Local red Cross in Guardamar, said: “From the Red Cross, we want to thank everyone involved in this venture: City Hall, workforce volunteers, restaurants, students and trainers for their contribution to our goal of improving the employability of people and do a job, as our motto says, means ‘"Much more than a job’.

Increased police presence The City of San Fulgencio, in line with its policy of giving effective service regarding the safety and security of its citizens, has added three more police officers and a fourth who will join on 1st July. In addition, the town has also purchased a new, fully equipped patrol car, which together with the existing vehicles completes a fleet of six cars, three motorcycles and two bicycles, for use by the local police and all equipped for police service. Another development to the local level of service is the appointment of two dedicated officers specifically assigned to issues and crimes relating to Gender Violence. This is a topical and controversial issue and one which the local authorities are
keen to prevent. This provision will be made in collaboration with the Civil Guard Guardamar is intended to be carried out effectively and efficiently at the first sign of domestic violence issues. This service will also be complemented by community interaction and complemented by lectures and workshops aimed at specific groups and covering skills such as self-defence. Finally, the Local Police department in the town is in the process of creating a canine patrol, which will be made up of recently trained officers with the aim of effective crime prevention.

Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum), also known as Irish potatoes, are a staple food for many people and the most commonly grown tuber crop. Unknown to most, potatoes originated in Peru or Bolivia, were brought to Spain by the early explorers and spread rapidly throughout Europe.
Potatoes are relatively inexpensive to purchase, but growing your own is easy and simple. All one needs is a place to grow them along with the potatoes themselves. There are over 1,000 different varieties of potatoes available for growing. Part of the fun of home gardening is exploring unusual varieties that cannot be purchased in the supermarket. There are so many wonderful kinds and colours of
potatoes to choose from: The standard russet, fingerlings, bakers, boilers, white, yellow, pink, red, and even blue. All of these potatoes are grown the same way and are delicious eaten fresh from the garden. Do not hesitate to try new varieties and share them with friends - imagine surprising them with a blue potato salad or blue French fries‌
Growing conditions & maintenance: What to plant: Potatoes are not grown from seed, but from potatoes called seed potatoes. Seed potatoes are
full-size potatoes that are allowed to start producing shoots in the potato eyes. You have probably seen this happen when you have stored potatoes in the kitchen for too long. Seed potatoes can be planted whole or cut into pieces, with each piece containing an eye or two (or three). Because potatoes can rot if the soil is too cool or wet, many gardeners prefer to allow the cut pieces to callus over, by leaving them exposed overnight. You can also purchase a powdered fungicide like sulfur for dusting onto the pieces, to avoid rotting. Sulfur furthermore has the benefit of making the soil around the potato seed a bit more acid, which potatoes like. For best result, buy certified diseasefree seed potatoes. Planting potatoes from the supermarket is a gamble. They have often been treated with chemicals to inhibit sprouting, so they may not grow well. When to plant: Potatoes are easy to grow, but they prefer cool weather so you should try to get them into the ground at the right time. Cold climate gardeners should plant potatoes in mid to late spring. In warm climates it is best planting in either late summer or late winter so the plants are not trying to grow during the hottest months. How to plant: Choose a sunny spot
with well draining, loose soil, so that the roots and tubers can develop. Work in some compost and fertilizer and you are ready to start planting. Trench method: A traditional potato planting method involves digging a shallow trench, about 6" (15 cm) deep and placing the seed potatoes in the trench, eyes facing up. You then cover the potatoes with a couple of inches of soil. New potatoes form ABOVE the planted seed potato. As the potato plants grow, soil is hilled up along the sides of the plants. This keeps the soil around the developing tubers loose and keeps the surface tubers from being exposed to sunlight, which will turn them green and somewhat toxic. Start hilling potatoes when the plants are a few inches tall and hill again whenever the plants reach about 4-6" (10-15 cm) in height. Do
not be stingy on how much soil you mound up because the more loose soil is on top of the seed potato the more new potatoes will form. You can stop hilling when the plants begin to flower. Scatter method: Some gardeners prefer to simply lay the seed potatoes right on the soil and then cover them with a few inches of mulch. You then continue adding mulch as the plants grow. If you have a rodent problem, this method is probably not your best choice. Container method: The container method makes hilling easy and takes up less space. Plant your seed potatoes in the bottom of a tall container, like a clean garbage can or just a large bag (Remember drain holes). Put about 6" (15 cm) of soil in the bottom first, then spread out your seed potatoes. Keep adding soil as the plants get taller. This is the simplest way of growing potatoes and can even be done on a balcony or terrace. Maintenance: If you have some organic matter and the pH is good, the potatoes should be happy. What they really rely on is a steady water supply. Water them at least an inch a week. Potatoes are one of those mystery crops that develop out of sight, underground. You never really know how you are doing until you harvest and then it is too late. However, if you are doing everything right, your potato plants will flower and have fruit. Do not eat the fruit, but take it as a sign you are on the right track.
Harvesting: New potatoes - in many countries considered a delicacy - are small, immature potatoes. You can harvest some of these without harm to the plants, by gently feeling around in the soil near the plants once they reach about a foot in height. The entire crop is ready to harvest once the tops of the plants die off. You can leave the potatoes in the ground for a few weeks longer, as long as the ground is not wet. To harvest potatoes, carefully dig below the potatoes with a shovel or spading fork and lift the potatoes. Days to harvest: Approximately 2 - 4 months, depending on variety. Once dug, the potatoes need to be cleaned and allowed to cure. Do not wash the potatoes, but do brush off as much dirt as you can. Store the potatoes in a cool, dark place until you are ready to eat them. Marc Vijverberg

Orihuela con men arrested
A gang of con men have been arrested in Orihuela for scamming more than €20,000, after the victim fell for an old trick using dyed bank notes. The National Police have arrested two citizens of Mali origin, aged 38 and 39 years old, who are accused of having conned someone out of more than €20,000 using a method known as “wash wash” or dyed bank notes. The officers searched two homes in Orihuela and found more than €3,000 in dyed €100 and €500 notes, as well as four cut up pieces of paper worth nothing, all in a bin bag with some remnants of talcum powder. The victim claimed to have lost €21,550 and suspected that this particular con trick had been used. The scam involves one or more people telling the victim that they are very important people in their country of origin but had to flee for political reasons. They claim that when they left they brought with them a huge amount of money,
which they disguised as pieces of plain black paper by applying some chemicals. They make the victim believe that to remove the black colour and turn it back into money, they have to put it through a chemical process, which also requires legal tender notes for it to work. At this point they ask the victim for money to complete the chemical process, assuring them that they will get twice as much back when it is completed. To convince the victim, the fraudsters show a ‘test sample’ which involves legal notes that have been temporarily dyed black. These notes are washed with soap and water to simulate the chemical process and of course they miraculously ‘turn’ back to their original appearance of legal bank notes. Once the victim is convinced, the con artists propose doing it again, but on a grand scale, which will need much more money. However, this time they bring ordinary pieces of paper instead, steal the victim's money and make a quick get-away. In this case the victim was asked to sell his home to get enough money and then do the chemical process to get even more cash, which he agreed to and enabled the fraudsters to con him out of €21,550.

WELCOME TO KUALA LUMPUR with Vivalia Travel Kuala Lumpur is a sprawling city and its residential suburbs seem to go on forever
Kuala Lumpur is a sprawling city and its residential suburbs seem to go on forever. The city proper, is a Federal Territory has an area of 243 km2 which consists of the city center and its surrounding urban areas, managed by the KL City Hall. The city can be divided into
the following areas, each of which offers a particular attraction or activity: Old City Centre/Old Town: This is the traditional core of Kuala Lumpur where you’ll find the former colonial administrative centre, with the Merdeka Square, Sultan Abdul Samad Building and Selangor Club. This district also includes Kuala Lumpur’s old Chinese commercial centre which everyone refers to now as Chinatown. Golden Triangle: This is where you will find many of the city’s shopping malls, five-star hotels and the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. Brickfields: This area, located south of the city centre, is Kuala Lumpur’s Little India filled with saree shops and banana leaf rice restaurants. THINGS TO SEE AND DO Kuala Lumpur is short on must-see attractions: beyond the Petronas Twin Towers, the real joy lies in wandering
randomly, seeing, shopping and eating your way through it. While some buildings in the high-rise Golden Triangle, such as the KL Tower, are uninspired copies of other famous structures, the Petronas Twin Towers are truly marvelous. Other interesting things to see: Masjid Jamek, a charming Moorish-style mosque set at a confluence on the Klang River or The National Monument in the pretty Lake Gardens, inspired by the Iwo Jima Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. Other activities include usual urban sports such
as golfing, cycling, running, jogging and horse riding. If you’re into rock climbing, the Batu Caves in the Northern suburbs is popular. Several good theatres and performance halls have emerged as part of Malaysia's drive to encourage greater cultural expression. Pampering and spas can be
found in several five-star hotels and independent centres in the Golden Triangle. Shopping in Kuala Lumpur is one of travel's greatest pleasures. Kuala Lumpur alone has 66 shopping malls and it is the retail and fashion hub for Malaysia. EAT AND DRINK Delicious food can be very cheap too: just head to the ubiquitous roadside stalls or kedai kopi (literally coffee shop,
but these are all about the food). These shops operate like a food court with many stalls selling a variety of food. Some coffee shops have tables and chairs by the roadside. Chinatown in the city centre and Jalan Alor in the Golden Triangle have some of the greatest concentrations of coffeeshops and stalls. They mostly open only at night. Also, Kuala Lumpur has quite a vibrant night-life and the Golden Triangle is the epicentre of most of the partying which goes on in the city.

Summer is officially here At 34 minutes past midnight on Tuesday, June 21st the summer started in the northern hemisphere and winter began in the southern hemisphere. It was at that moment when the Earth passed the solstice, marking the official beginning of summer, a season that will last 93 days and 15 hours, continuing until September 22nd. Summer is the longest season of the
year because this is when the Earth reaches its furthest point from the Sun of its whole orbit and for this reason the speed of the Earth around the Sun is slower. In January, when the Earth is closer to the Sun, the speed is greater and so winter is 4 days shorter than summer. The difference between the closest and the furthest points between the Sun
and the Earth is about 5 million kilometres. Another curiosity about this season has to do with the length of the day. June the 21st is the longest day in terms of sunlight, with around 14 hours and 48 minutes here in our area of Spain, compared to 9 hours and 31 minutes for the shortest day of the year, in the month of December. However, the 21st
www.costablancapeople.com
is not the day when the Sun rises earliest or sets the latest, the earliest sunrise was on June 14th and the latest sunset will be on June 27th. The summer is starting with very pleasant, read quiet hot, temperatures and even though levels that are below average for this time of year. However, the seasonal predictions indicate that this summer will be, in principle, hotter and drier than usual in this area. Nevertheless, it seems that this year it will be officially less hot than we had to put up with last year…you can decide whether that’s a good or a bad thing.
Fines to be given for garden waste dumping in streets ■ MIREILLE TODDINGTON mireille@costablancapeople.com

The new schedule will be enforced by a new bylaw which states that you can only deposit a cubic meter of garden waste and that the cuttings must be bagged. The councillor explained that the objective is of the new initiative is to seek the support and commitment of residents towards keeping their streets clean and clear. For the removal of
large amounts of cuttings, over the legally allowed limit, or the removal of large items such as appliances or furniture, notice must be given before they are left in the street so that collections are carried out in an
effective manner. In order to communicate and encourage people to take these steps Department has printed posters and brochures in English and Castilian that
show the collection times for gardfen waste, while also including a QR code to access further details. Residents should be warned that penalties of up to 1,500 euros will be given for non-compliance with the above guidelines and the councillor was keen to point out that this campaign has the support of the local police. People wishing to give notice for the collection of large amounts of garden cuttings or household items can do so by calling the Town Hall on: phone 966760000 EXT.29 or by email to: residentes@Orihuela.es The councillor ended by appealing to gardeners, gardening companies and individuals to work together and follow the rules. She said: “If everyone follows these simple rules the streets of Orihuela Costa will be clean and will stay clean.

‘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.
www.costablancapeople.com
bernie.comaskey@gmail.com
Something has to go... I came across a word the other day that I didn’t know the meaning of. (Lads, would you ever lay off ) The word is ‘disposophobia’. I suppose there is an inbuilt clue there if I thought about it, but anyway I discovered that the meaning applies to a pathological fear of getting rid of anything; in other words, a hoarder of stuff. I would say there are varying degrees of the severity of this disorder. (What do you think of that pun then, Lads?) Every so often you will read about some recluse with every inch of space, from floor to ceiling taken up with all sorts of rubbish. This is the acute end of the phobia – but isn’t there a bit of the disposophobia in most of us? My uncle hoarded everything. He would often tell me that if you ‘keep something for seven years, you will find a use for it.’ He kept an awful lot of stuff for more than seven years that no use was ever found for – except the money of course.
Someone once said that ‘you can have stuff or you can have space – but you can’t have both.’ We have to declutter. Decluttering is a stressful job and very much governed by the mood of the moment. In this
disposable society in which we now live decluttering is almost an ongoing chore. It has to be done. Mrs Youcantbeserious and I regularly come to the conclusion that we have to be more ruthless with regard to disposing of stuff. This plan implodes in disarray as soon as either party feels compelled to expel something
belonging to the other party. We start off amicably enough and in a very efficient and workmanlike manner. Three piles are to be formed on the landing – roughly along the lines of ‘definitely gone’, ‘not sure’ and ‘better keep it’. Mrs Youcantbeserious came close to having to find a new place to stay after I arrived back from Mullingar and luckily happened to notice the sleeve of my twenty year old lucky Westmeath maroon shirt and it sticking out from the bottom of the ‘to go’ pile. This ‘accident’ resulted in a change of rules, whereby both parties can exercise a veto. Now the piles get moved around like a game of draughts. Like I say, this job takes a lot of time and soul-searching. Some declutterers sell unwanted space takers on E-Bay or Done Deal and this would seem to take some of the misgivings from the decision. The growth of charity shops has helped greatly in getting rid of the middle pile. There is another very easy way of decluttering in Spain. Anything of any
use whatsoever can be left out beside the large refuse bins on every corner and the item will disappear faster than a snowflake on a bonfire. I tend to keep jackets and shirts forever – although I have given away a few suits and ganseys this year. The golden rule should be that if you haven’t used something for two years, it should be in the ‘has to go’ pile. And so we come to a problem here that maybe some reader can help me with? We have to be very careful though. Mrs Youcantbeserious has a lot of nice clothes that must have had the incorrect label sizes on them at the time, or the dresses shrunk …. which is not unusual we hasten to stammer. Anyway, I daren’t dream of putting any of them in any pile – because from what I can gather, all those lovely outfits will revert to their correct size in the near future? Then there is the argument against decluttering, that old stuff becomes scarce and what becomes scarce becomes valuable. I remember old gramophones, churns and items like that from my childhood which were dumped at the time and now would be worth money. Maybe I should take
yet another look at these piles? It is a fact that no matter how much wardrobe space you have, it will get filled. But this same rule applies to every inch of space in the house. Within jig-time, every drawer, cupboard, shelf, nook and corner gets filled with stuff. Then you forget what is under what and where something went. You don’t want to go near any of these presses for fear of the decisions that have to be made … but decluttering has to be done. I’m looking at these piles again: Much more than clothes there now. Household gadgets, more books and God only knows what’s at the bottom of the ‘maybe pile.’ It is then the final solution hits me … the attic! Out of sight, out of mind. I push everything up into the last bit of space left in the attic. The decluttering of the attic is for another day!
If you want to drive a woman mad, just put her in a room with a hundred hats and no mirror.

Pride of Spain Awards 2016 As nominations for this year’s Costa Blanca People Pride of Spain Awards begin to arrive at the office, we take a look at why and how you should nominate that special person, or group, in our community. Now in its tenth year, the Costa Blanca People’s Pride of Spain Awards celebrates ordinary people who do extraordinary things, with nominees reflecting the core value of giving for the good of other people, and the community at large here on the Costa Blanca. This year there are 13 categories, including Outstanding Bravery, Child of Courage, Carer of the Year and Community Spirit Award. Once you decide what category your nominee fits into you can nominate someone - a family member, a colleague, a community member or even someone you respect and admire from afar who you feel deserves recognition for what they do or have achieved. At the heart of the Costa Blanca People’s Pride of Spain
Awards is Costa Blanca People boss, Claire Richards, who started the original concept and continues to drive the
initiative with her hard work and commitment. Claire told us, “When we launched the Costa Blanca People Pride of Spain Awards in 2007, our aim was simple – to unearth and celebrate our unsung heroes the people who make this
community great. It’s hard to believe that it’s ten years later, and The Pride of Spain Awards have exceeded our wildest expectations. Each year, we continue to be overwhelmed by the stories of selfless actions, courage, compassion and heroism. This is our chance to celebrate the fact that every day countless expat residents go out of their way to help their neighbours, often receiving little recognition for the extraordinary contributions they make to their communities. All of us know someone who deserves such recognition for their selfless actions. It might be your mum, your sibling, your cousin, your best friend, neighbour or school teacher. Please take a few minutes and nominate them for a Pride of Spain Award in 2016. On behalf of everyone at the Costa Blanca People, I would like to thank our readers, sponsors, political and community leaders who lend their ongoing support to the Costa Blanca People Pride of Spain Awards.”
CLOSING DATE FOR NOMINATIONS IS JULY 29th 2016

Spain to take in another 400 refugees in June
The interior minister Fernández Díaz
Spain’s next group of refugees are due to arrive in the coming weeks and will be arriving from camps in Turkey, Greece, Italy and Lebanon, according to acting interior minister Jorge Fernández Díaz. A total of 418 are due to set off, and they will make up the bulk of the 500-plus Spain has promised to resettle this summer. Firstly, 201 asylum-seekers will be taken in within the next fortnight – 59 from camps in Turkey between June 21 and 23; a further 64 from Greece between June 22 and 24, and 82 from Lebanon between June 28 and 29. As yet, it is not known where they will be housed. The last group was mainly placed in Madrid, Catalunya and Aragón, and the regional government of Valencia was upset at being 'snubbed' by the interior ministry. Regional president Ximo Puig (PSOE) and deputy president Mònica Oltra (Compromís) say they have had all necessary measures in place for almost a year – including a register of empty properties and spare rooms, and a global ferry firm willing to transport up to 1,000 refugees at a time for free. Despite this, there is no sign of any of the refugees being sent to the Valencia region, with the exception of an Afghan family whose young son, affected by cerebral palsy,
was flown to the east coast provinces for medical treatment. But Fernández Díaz is not keen to reveal the refugees’ planned locations, ‘in case they are persecuted for political reasons’. Keeping their whereabouts relatively secret will ‘help them to integrate better’, explains the minister, since the eventual plan is for them to be able to qualify for Spanish citizenship and stay in the country. This will mean being in work, able to speak and write Spanish fluently, and show a ‘reasonable’ degree of knowledge of and involvement in Spanish culture and society. Before July is out, another 203 refugees will be on their way from Lebanon. By the end of 2016, Spain will have taken in over 1,000 refugees, mainly from Syria and Iraq but with a few from Eritrea, Afghanistan, Somalia and the Central African Republic, among other war-torn nations. Spaniards are mostly very keen to take in refugees and numerous demonstrations have been held in town and city centres protesting that the national government is not doing enough to help asylumseekers fleeing war zones.

WHEN IS A MEDIUM NOT A MEDIUM?
I received a letter this week from Judy who asked me what is the difference between a Psychic, a Medium, and a Clairvoyant. Please see her question below and my subsequent reply. Dear Alison Please help! I am getting a bit confused about the descriptions of people who do readings. Some are Tarot Readers, some call themselves Psychics, others Mediums, and there are also Clairvoyants. More recently I have heard people call themselves empaths or Intuitives. What do all of these mean, and what are the differences between them if any? Many thanks, Judy T Miller. Hola Judy What a very good question! No wonder you are getting confused. So many descriptions! A lot of these titles refer to someone who is psychic. Psychic ability is being able to use all the senses in a natural way without analysing what is happening. For example, someone who is clairvoyant will see clearly, either in meditation or when working with the spirit world. Someone who is clairsentient feel or senses spirit around them and a clairaudient hears spirit. The general meaning of being psychic is someone who is sensitive to non-physical or supernatural nature.
I teach Psychic Development classes and to help my students I wrote the spiritual meaning for everything spiritual which I felt would help them determine the difference between, for example, a Medium, and a Psychic Intuitive. As they develop during the course, I can see quite clearly which of them are clairvoyant, or clairsentient and/or clairaudient. With experience on a Psychic Development course, some people can use all these senses in a natural way when communicating with the Spirit World. As a Clairvoyant Medium, this is how I work. The Clairvoyant part of my work involves me being able to ‘see clearly’ through visions and impressions from the ‘brow chakra’ also known as The Third eye which stands for intuition, understanding and mysticism. As a Medium, I can utilise all my senses and abilities as well as communicating with spirit who have passed over to the next world, often giving messages comfort and guidance to their loved ones on the earth plane. All of this combined means that I am psychic. In a nutshell when I am doing platform work or I am doing a 1 to 1 reading, I have to use all my heightened
senses and highly developed powers in order to translate the information I receive from the spirit world. This means deciphering the words, feelings, images, sounds, smells, etc that I receive and conveying them to the recipient(s) in a way that will make sense to that person or persons. For more information, please see my article below which explains further. With many blessings, Alison
way that Mediums can communicate with their spirit guides and the spirit world in general as no words are spoken. Telepathy is a natural form of communication – you only have to look at animals how they sense and know something is about to happen which is often hard for humans to perceive. Telepathy works on a different vibration beyond our natural senses or physical interaction.
SPIRITUAL ADVISORY WORK Channelling: Channelling is a word that describes anyone who is able to receive messages from higher guidance. Empath: This seems to be a more modern term for someone who is possibly psychic but is also empathic, being able to control these abilities through spiritual protection. They can unfold their empathic abilities into psychic ones connecting with a client at a higher understanding helping them to heal and release. Intuition: Everyone has intuition but some people have a stronger intuition or ‘gut feeling’ than others. As an intuitive you will be able to receive information from spirit through a highly developed intuition. Tarot card Readers: Tarot card readers often describe themselves as being able to 'see into the future'. The Tarot Cards themselves are a fortune telling tool in which the reader deciphers the pictures on the cards in order to predict certain events in someone's life often working on the past, present and the future. The cards consist of a deck of 78 cards - 4 suits of 14 cards each in the minor arcana and 22 cards in the major arcana. Telepathy: Telepathy is transmitted information from one mind to another. It is a
Psychic Detective: A psychic detective is someone who helps Police to find missing persons in unsolved crimes by following the clues obtained via their own psychic antennae or through communication with dead missing people. Rescue Medium: a Rescue Medium is someone who can use all heightened senses which they need to communicate with spirits who have, for whatever reason, resisted going to the light at the point of death. They are usually called in by families whose homes are haunted by spirit(s) who are causing mayhem via unexplained activity/phenomena. As a Rescue Mediums I need all my wits about me in order to tell the story of the spirit who is stuck between two worlds as well as ‘persuade’ the spirit to walk towards the light to their loved ones on the other side.

What’s your offer?
Rebecca Serwotka – Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada.
As the saying goes, “it takes a woman’s touch to make the house a home.” We often see from years of experience that when a man and woman are looking to buy a house, it’s mostly the woman that decides where she wants her family to live. I always say when you walk inside a home and you get that “feeling” (all you women know what I’m talking about!) then you know that’s the right house for you. We’ve all heard the sharp intake of air when we tell a client the price, so when is it the perfect time to start the difficult conversation of money? No-one likes to talk money, either because they feel they are being judged as cheap or they think they must try to act as if they can afford it, if the reality is, they cannot. This conversation is a must and being able to move forward with the purchase of your dream home means starting up this dialogue as soon as possible. Lots of people don’t like negotiating but let’s face it, at some point in your life you’re going to have to and there’s no better time to start than now. First thing to remember, don’t get carried away with these property programmes that everyone watches. They often advise in offering much lower than the asking price but what you must take into consideration is the year in which the programme originally aired. Like any housing market in the world, it does fluctuate from year to year. You’ve all heard the phrase “location, location,
location”… these words have more effect on pricing than many people actually realize and you can use it to your advantage when making an offer by asking yourself if the area you’re looking in are maintaining their prices or are sellers taking a hit and having to reduce just to get it sold? Your agent should be able to advise you, but the easiest way to find out for yourself is by looking at local market inventory. If there are a lot of properties of a similar design for sale, then you know you can start with a sensible offer. Beware! Go too low and you could offend the seller, then they won’t be open to any negotiation at all… it’s their memories that they’re putting a price on after all, so be compassionate. And if there aren’t many houses for sale of a similar design, then this creates a demand and any offers being put forward need to be closer to the asking price. Don’t forget, your Agent will be able to guide you when making an offer. So when it comes to negotiating on that perfect price, all offers are acceptable but only a few will be considered! Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough!

The Centenary and the Battle of the Somme – BBC2 – 8.30 pm Huw Edwards in Thiepval, France, and Kirsty Young in Westminster Abbey, London, provide live coverage of vigil services held to commemorate the centenary of the Battle of the Somme. One hundred years on from the eve of this battle, commemorations begin at Westminster Abbey, where Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh lead the nation's remembrance at the Grave of the Unknown Warrior. Immediately after, TRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and HRH Prince Henry of Wales attend a vigil service at The Thiepval Memorial in France. The memorial bears the names of more than 72,000 men who died on the Somme and have no known grave. Vigils are held in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as communities across the nation come together to remember all those lost at the Somme.

MOVIE PICK Pitch Perfect - Channel 4 - 10pm Anna Kendrick, Anna Camp and Rebel Wilson star in Jason Moore's teen music comedy. Beca Mitchell would rather pursue her interest in DJ'ing than attend Barden University, but her father, who teaches there, insists, leaving her with little choice. However, she and another outsider, Fat Amy, are soon co-opted into joining the college's all-female a cappella group, the Barden Bellas, by Aubrey Posen. Aubrey is determined to make amends for dramatically spoiling the Bellas' previous crack at winning the national a cappella competition through her extreme stage sickness. But if they are to make it all the way to the final at the Lincoln Center, they will have to overcome their old enemies, the all-male Treblemakers, as well as Aubrey's propensity to puke under pressure.

Charity Summer Ball More than one hundred guests gathered in all their finery recently for the annual Summer Ball, held at La Finca Golf and Spa Resort Hotel, Algorfa. This year the Roaring 20’s themed event was held in aid of Elche Children’s Home and raised an amazing 1,508 euros, which will be used to fund everything from utility bills,
centre arrangements in true themed twenties style provided by Christine Worthy of Mist in Quesada. Lady Toastmaster Patricia Creighton MBE introduced Dave Diggle, International Financial Adviser for Blacktower Financial Management and volunteer accountant for the charity, who

clothing and food. The evening started with a cava reception, sponsored by Vincent Real Estate, which also took a table for the evening. The meet and greet was down to Golden Leaves as the guests sauntered poolside to watch a host of aquaentertainment as mermaids and synchronised swimming and scuba divers took to the pool. These activities were accompanied by the popular tunes of ABBA sung by K’ABBA’M - an Abba tribute all the way from Albox. The first call for dinner had everyone seated by 8.00pm. The tables looked beautiful, with
welcomed everyone and thanked the other sponsors: Vincent Real Estate; Golden Leaves; Quesada Computers; Media Promotions and Da Silva’s Restaurant. Patricia kept the evening running smoothly and to time and her partner Gerry Hemmet did an amazing job overseeing the raffle and the auction. There were more surprises and a touch of magic as the ever popular magician Graeme Mykal visited each table to amaze with his close-hand tricks. The raffle caused stir and quiet a lot of commotion, as it was done with playing cards in “Blacktower Blue” balloons and then Kayleigh
and Melanie, who are K’ABBA’M, kept everyone entertained with more of their ABBA tribute performance. Richie Sparks, DJ and owner of BIG FM, did a great job of not only auctioneer but keeping everyone on their dancing feet with some top tunes. Barrington, who will be at Winter Wonderland II in December at Hyde Park, was a guest at the event, along with his wife Julie, and stepped in to do his version of Heads and Tails and demonstrated how to shake your tail feathers – much to the delight of the other guests. The organisers would like to pass on their thanks go to Pablo Saura and his team who were as courteous and helpful as ever and especially to Franciso who stayed after his shift had ended in order to blow up more than 100 balloons. Thanks also go to the many restaurants and local businesses that donated meals and prizes for the raffle and auction. These very generous people, along with guests for the local community all helped to raise much needed funds during the evening to help the Elche children.

Yolanda makes it to the top! When Bernie and Pamela Comaskey opened the door of Paddy’s Point for the first time on 4th June 1999, one of the surprising features about Costa Blanca’s first Irish pub was that a twenty-one years old Spanish girl was the pub’s first manager. This same lady is still fondly remembered by all of those original customers. Yolanda Sanchez Cruzado had just returned to Spain after a sojourn working in a Dublin hotel. Bernie Comaskey still maintains that she was the final piece of the jigsaw at that time. Hardworking and loyal Yolanda helped to make Paddy’s Point Spain’s most successful Irish pub. Within fifteen months, the sales of Guinness grew to the extent that it was the second highest in Spain. ‘Yolanda had 90 percent good English … but it was the other 10 percent she filled in that gave us all the laughs’, says Bernie. Yolanda remained at Paddy’s Point for two years. A lovely sequel to that story is the fact that a young student by the name of Hazel Connor worked with Yolanda in Dublin; asked Yolanda for work in Spain the following year and is now the coowner of Paddy’s Point, along with her partner, Rory Lee. Yolanda went back to hotel
work. She got promotion after promotion and capped it all at the end of May this year when she was appointed general manager of the newly revamped Torrevieja Playa Hotel (formerly Cabo Cervera Hotel) in La Mata. The magnificent 188 bedroom hotel is fantastic value; with all rooms possessing a balcony looking out onto the ocean. It is particularly welcoming for families with children. Yolanda told us that during her interview, she told the owners ‘if I could manage Paddy’s Point at twenty-one years of age – I can manage anything!’ And who could argue with that! Under
the stewardship of Ms Sanchez Cruzudo, the hotel seems destined to grow even further in the years ahead. Well, it can’t get much better than having the president of the country come to stay with you, now can it? On 10th June Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy was booked into the hotel for a short visit. The Prime Minister congratulated Yolanda on her appointment and complimented her and all the staff on their friendliness and professionalism. Yolanda is pictured with President Rajoy at the Torrevieja Playa Hotel.

Josh via email asks: Hello, I have read many times your suggestions to run Malwarebytes but when I have run the scan the number of items listed is very long and very daunting! Are there any things I should watch out for? Aunty Says: Hi Josh. Malwarebytes will find things
like Spyware and Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPS) and it will often find a lot of things which have built up simply by using the internet. I always leave Malwarebytes to get on with its job without even looking at what it has found and I’ve yet to run into any problems after all these years.

number” which I did not have. I took it back to the shop and they said they installed the code and everything was fine but has come up again and when I called into the shop again they said they were waiting for a new DVD to reinstall it and not to worry as it is problem with Microsoft. It is now 6 weeks later and I am still waiting for a call, but to be honest I am now thinking this is a bit of a fib. They also told me the problem is because the language was changed but I have read in your column that this can be done easily. Could you let me know what I should do?
Aunty Says: Hi Carol. Take the laptop back to the shop and ask them nicely to stop messing you about and to re-install the genuine copy of Win 10 that would have come with the laptop. Ask them to enter the code, activate and then validate Windows via the Microsoft website. If they refuse then something is not quite right. Explain politely that you will need to contact Microsoft to ask them what you should do. Those good old days of free ‘trial’ and ‘cracked’ copies of Windows are rapidly fading and laptops haven’t come with any Windows discs or activation codes for a very long time, the activation for Windows 10 is built into the laptop’s electronics. Changing language is free, not exactly simple, but free.
Carol via email asks: A few months ago I bought a new Lenovo laptop with Window 10 and for an extra €45 they changed it to English from Spanish. I have recently seen a notice saying I only have 28 days (and counting) to activate and when I clicked on “activate now” it said something like “enter a valid code
Mark via email asks: Hello Aunty. I have a slight problem with my Dell laptop which I have had for 4 years it has started to show a flashing green light on the front which I think is the battery symbol. It occasionally changes to an orange light, and when it does I get a warning come up that the battery is critical and to plug into the mains supply. I have it plugged in to the wall at all the time and switch it off at night but I am worried that I may damage the laptop. Please can you advise what I should do? Aunty Says: It sounds like it maybe time for a new battery Mark, but as you are running your laptop only from the mains then you may as well take your battery out. If you flip your laptop over you should see a spring loaded catch and probably a similar lock that you simply slide and lift the battery out. As always email me with your questions at auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and I’ll see what I can do.

Spain turns its back on science Carl Sagan, the US astronomer who popularised science in the 1980s, said it better than anybody else: “We are surrounded by science and technology, but nobody knows anything about science and technology.” Digital life, the consequences of knowing what’s inside our genome, artificial intelligence, Big Data, self-driving cars and even WhatsApp: scientific and technological innovation makes our life better, even if we don’t quite understand how it works. However, only 14 percent of Spanish citizens have an interest in science and technology, compared with 25 percent who have no interest at all, according to the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology. And this traditional disregard for science at the popular level is reflected at the political level, turning a mistake into a downright disaster. Science, technology and innovation represent the fundamental productive factor in all the world’s biggest economies, and their main source of wealth. The United States, Sweden, Finland, Japan and South Korea do not invest in R&D&i because they are rich – they are rich because they invest in R&D&i.
The US spends over 2.8 percent of its GDP on science and technology, and its own government asserts that this effort can be credited for over half of the country’s economic and industrial development since WWII. Science and technology get constant cash injections, even during the worst crisis years. “Science and technology helped make America the greatest country on Earth,” said President Barack Obama in an interview on Popular Science. Meanwhile, Spanish investment falls and rises depending on how the economic winds blow: between 2002 and 2008 there was a considerable effort to catch up with our EU partners, but from 2010 to 2014 there was a 10 percent accumulated drop in the budget allocation for science and technology, according to the latest Cotec report. This drop is very painful to Spanish scientists, which have been forced to seek out European funds or leave the country. And this is just the beginning. “The effects of the public spending cuts on the results of research activity remain to be seen, due to the timeframes in
research processes,” warns the OECD in a report. However, Spanish companies and citizens are pioneers when it comes to adopting the results of innovation and technology. Spanish firms rank above average in digitalisation, according to a recent report by PwC. Spain is also the European country with the greatest penetration of social networking and instant messaging apps. But the innovation is being produced by others, for the most part. “Being pro-science is the only way we make sure that America continues to lead the world,” said Obama in Popular Science. During their first and only televised debate, none of the four main candidates to be Spain’s next prime minister was asked about their plans to invest in science and innovation. Nor did any of them judge it relevant to discuss the consequences of living with our backs to science. Yet there are consequences: a report by the Civic Opinion Centre says that if Spain had invested annually in R&D the same percentage as other OECD countries have been investing since 1970, our per capita income would have been 20 percent higher by the year 2005.
Online newspaper debate leads to legal action against 13 A debate among readers of an online news article led to legal action being taken against 13 individuals, including two in the Alicante province. Guardia Civil have called 13 people, aged between 20 and 34, to testify for crimes against the Security Forces. The move comes after a debate on an article published in the online version of a national newspaper. The article concerned a mobile application which
reports road traffic incidents and roadworks, but which also warns of security checkpoints and Guardia Civil patrols. The article sparked a debate in the comments section with 200 remarks, seen by over 80,000 people. Among the comments were some which Guardia Civil considered to be ‘gravely injurious’. One comment said, "Cada vez que matan a un verde me bebo una cervecita
celebrando que hay uno menos en España" – basically, every time a Guardia Civil is killed, I drink a beer to celebrate that there is one less in Spain. Other users warned the commentators about the potential legal consequences of abusing the Guardia Civil but the remarks were not withdrawn and legal action followed. An investigation was opened in Huesca in 2015 to identify the culprits.
Britons love it in bed The percentage of people checking social media before they get up has nearly doubled 18.4% of Brits say they check social media first thing in the morning, whilst they are still in bed, up from 9.9% of people in 2014. When we look at who checks their social media profiles before getting out of bed, all age groups, even those over the age of 55 years old, have increased. The largest surge from the three year comparison comes from 18-24 year olds (+22.5%) and 25-34 year olds (14.2%). The poll by Lightspeed GMI found that, once again, women are more hooked to checking their social media profiles in bed (24.1%) than men (12.3%). And we find that men are more likely
to say: ‘I do not check every day’ (14.2% men v 11.7% women), and ‘I am not on social media’ (29.4% men compared to 16.8% women).
So, which are the social media apps these Brits checking? Data from Kantar's UK mobile behavioural panel reveals that for all age groups, the most used mobile app is Facebook. The mobile behavioural team tracked the following apps: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest,
Tumblr, and LinkedIn. We found that 84% of our female panellists, aged 24-34 years old, have the Facebook app installed, compared to 78% of men. After Facebook, the next most popular social media app was Instagram; however, there are significant variations by age and gender. For example, Pinterest is much more popular with young women aged 24-34 years old (36%) than young men (9%). Behavioural data supports the poll, in that women are more interested in social media than men. Women aged 24-34 years old check Facebook on average three times a day, compared to twice a day for men of the same age.
Hilarious holiday complaints The twitter account @HolidayComplain has compiled a list of hilarious list complaints made to travel agents by British travellers whilst abroad. From miniature golf that was ‘too small’ to sand that was ‘too sandy’, it’s clear some Brits just aren’t getting what they were promised in the brochure. Here are some of the best: 1) “Spotting the visibly aroused elephant ruined my honeymoon in Thailand by making me feel inadequate.” 2) “The Fanta orange in Spain was a lot more Fanta-y than the Fanta at home.” 3) “I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts.” 4)“You said the town was next to a volcano, but we went and there was no lava. I’m pretty sure it was just a mountain.” 5) “No one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled.” 6) “My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were
placed in a double. I’m now pregnant.” 7) “The bottle of shampoo provided at the hotel was clearly meant for midgets.” 8) “There was a do not disturb sign on the back of my door in my room. I was confused and thought the staff had locked me in.” 9) “The maid who cleaned our
room made our towel into a swan shape. I don’t like swans.” 10) “They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax.” 11) “When they said the flight
was 11 hours long we didn’t think we’d actually be sitting on an aeroplane for 11 hours.” 12) “The brochure said: No hairdressers at the resort. We’re trainee hairdressers and we think they knew it and made us wait longer for drinks.” 13) “The sand was too sandy.” 14) “The miniature golf was too small.” 15) “Our jug of sangria didn’t have a wide-ranging fruit selection in it.” 16) “We went to Turkey and there was far too many Turkish people for our liking.” 17) “The waiters were too nice so I felt obliged to tip them more and spent far more money than I would have liked.” 18) “The food was so cheap by the time we got home I’d put on half a stone.” 19) “The beach was full of kids making sand castles and noise. It was difficult to concentrate on my book.” 20) “The beans on my Full English definitely weren’t Heinz.”

s we speed into July and the start of real summer, many venues have pulled out all the stops to keep not only the locals but also the many visitors to the region entertained. It is not only the bars who feel the need to compete with the draw of a live musician but many restaurants now also have entertainment. In Torrevieja, not far from the salt lakes is Bar El Stop. Recently opened it is having regular Friday night live entertainment. This week the girl with the golden voice, Rebecca Holt will be taking the stage and the bar by storm. Pop in and be welcomed by Tomo and the staff. El Rey in Balsicas is excited to have guitar legend Steve Delaney back in the restaurant. His guitar gymnastics had locals in awe on his last visit. Saturday is a rare treat for Nilo and The Band fans. The four piece band are usually only found at fiestas, but The Club in Quesada have managed to get the talented performers for a one night only gig. Down Murcia way, the exceptionally talented Rob Roberts will be at New York’s bar for the first time. And while we are speaking of smooth operators Mr Swing himself, Darren Jones makes a long awaited return on Saturday at La Bodegueta, Lo Crispin. If you love a bit of rock n roll (and who doesn’t) Jumpin Johnny Scott will be in Santa Pola Del Este at The Leprechaun. If you are round La Finca area and go for a curry and a welcome drink or 5, then say hi to Nigel Paul who is there resident guitar vocalist for the summer. Finally, a Saturday night wouldn’t be a good one without the big voice of Benidorm’s Cassi Kennedy. She has built up quite a following in the past year not only with British but also with the Spanish. The lady is quite the entertainer, funny with it and has a tremendous vocal range that can deliver anything from Cilla Black to Meatloaf. You will find her at The Taverna, aka the Orange bar in Entre Narnajas. If you aren’t going to the beach on Sunday, you might like to pop into Cagney’s in La Marina for a dance and a few cooling drinks with Grahame Alexander. Known for his Bowie and Neil Diamond tributes he will be serenading the afternoon away with classics from all eras. So all good news! There is plenty to choose from bands, duos, trios, tributes, rock n roll, jam sessions, country music, soft rock, pop and every genre in between. What can I say but have a superb week enjoying the multitude of acts that grace our venues. If you would like your events in this guide, they are FREE. Just email me the details to letsrockshowslive@gmail.com.

Spain fifth cheapest country for booze Statistics show that those travelling from Spain to the UK should stock up on alcohol before they leave. Part of the reason that many visitors enjoy coming over to Spain is because they get more for their money than in their own country. For example, food, drink and cigarettes are a lot cheaper to buy in Spain than in the UK, and most tourists end up taking a lot of duty-free goods back home with them. According to a comparison study carried out by Eurostat, the cost of an alcoholic drink is almost 20 percent cheaper in Spain than it is for the average of the European Union as a whole. This means that Spain is the fifth EU country where alcohol is the least expensive, and buying a drink here is 20 percent cheaper than in most other nations. The only countries in which you can purchase alcohol for less money than in Spain are: Bulgaria (36 percent cheaper than EU
average), Rumania (-28 percent), Hungary (-26 percent) and the Czech Republic (-21 percent). At the other end of the scale, the countries where the price of alcohol is at its highest are Ireland (+75 percent than EU average), Finland (+72 percent) and the UK (+63 percent).
In the case of cigarettes and tobacco, the prices in Spain are also lower than the European average by about 26 percent. The range of prices between all EU countries is much wider in this department, with the cheapest prices of tobacco in Bulgaria, Croatia or Lithuania being around 50 percent less than the EU average. Cigarettes cost the most
in the UK (+118 percent) followed by Ireland (+89 percent). And non-alcoholic beverages will also set you back less money in Spain than in many other countries, with prices being 8 percent cheaper than the EU average. Non-alcoholic drinks cost the most in Denmark (+45 percent), followed by Sweden (+24 percent), and Austria (+20 percent). They are the least expensive in Poland (-37 percent), followed by Rumania (-36 percent), Bulgaria (-30 percent), Lithuania (-22 percent) and the Czech Republic and Hungary (both -21 percent). However, not everything is less expensive in Spain. The study has also revealed that bread and cereals are 4 percent more costly than in other parts of Europe, although meat is 15 percent cheaper and milk, cheese and eggs are 4 percent less expensive.

Antibiotic confusion Half of all Spaniards don’t know what antibiotics are really for. An EU survey shows their use is growing faster here than in any other member state, despite widespread ignorance about their purpose Half of all Spaniards believe that antibiotics are used to kill viruses, fight colds and treat the flu. This erroneous view is all the more dangerous given that the inappropriate use of this kind of medication only serves to strengthen its real enemy: bacteria, which are becoming increasingly resistant. An EU report on antimicrobial resistance released this week reveals widespread ignorance about the real purpose of antibiotics in Spain, which scored worse than average. “The rise of resistant microbes is a threat to global public health. It is
responsible for the avoidable deaths of humans and animals, increased healthcare and veterinary costs, and productivity losses,” reads the report. According to this Eurobarometer survey, 48 percent of Spaniards said that antibiotics kill viruses, while 37 percent
knew that they don’t, compared with 43 percent overall in the EU. A further 45 percent believe they are effective against colds and flus (against
48 percent who say this is wrong). In the EU overall, 36 percent of respondents said antibiotics were good against the flu. Yet a vast majority of Spaniards, 85 percent, said they are aware that an inappropriate use of antibiotics makes them less effective, in line with the EU average of 84 percent. The confusion may be partly attributable to the fact that only 23 percent of Spaniards said they had received information about these prescription drugs over the last year, compared with the European average of 33 percent. Those who did receive information mostly did so from their doctor (48 percent), significantly above the average of 32 percent for Europe, where people are exposed to public awareness campaigns. Spain has a strategic plan to increase outreach. Meanwhile, a report by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control finds that Spain is increasingly vulnerable to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. And things could get worse, judging by the fact that 47 percent of Spaniards used antibiotics over the course of last year, according to the Eurobarometer. This puts Spain second to Malta (48 percent) and far above the EU average of (34 percent). The survey also shows that between 2013 and 2016, this rate grew nine percentage points, even as it declined by five points in neighboring France and Portugal, and by one point overall across the EU. The effects of super-resistant bacteria are already being felt. Last month, a US woman suffered an infection by “superbacteria” that proved immune to the strongest available antibiotics. It was a sign of things to come, warned the experts. Health authorities are asking for a more rational use of antibiotics, not just in humans but also in animals raised for human consumption.

Eating tips that will transform your life You've heard a million diet tips, but they never seem to stick. The reason is that they're all based in the short term. Here's the truth about how to eat and think about food so that your body can maintain a healthy weight over a lifetime. 1. Don't obsess about dairy Research suggesting that full-fat dairy may actually be good for your waistline is getting a lot of attention lately. One 12year Swedish study found that participants who ate more full-fat dairy products such as butter, cream, and whole milk actually had less belly fat than their peers who opted for the low-fat stuff. But this is by no means definitive. Before you swap your skim milk for whole, keep in mind that the research on dairy fat is still emerging. Some experts even suggest shunning dairy altogether and subbing in nut milks. The best bet is to go with what feels good and works for you, but know that may change over time. 2. When hungry, think protein first. We know it's important to eat the right amount of protein every day, but many of us don't understand why. Research shows that eating 20 to 30 grams of protein at each meal can help you build more lean muscle. Since our muscles don't store protein, steady consumption of it is required for optimal muscle synthesis meaning you can build more of it and burn more calories, even at rest so even when you're having a snack, try to include protein, such as easy-to-eat-on-the-go hard-boiled eggs or a turkey roll-up. 3. Eat what you want, but only until you're full. Nutrition and wellness experts favour the Okinawa principle, derived from the people of the Japanese islands of the same name. This suggests that you eat until you are only 80 percent full, since your brain takes about 20 minutes to process satiety. It's easier to stop yourself at 80 percent if you eat slowly, and you definitely won't miss the sluggish aftereffects that accompany unintentional overeating. It sounds a whole lot more satisfying to enjoy what you really like, even in slightly smaller amounts. 4. Chew your food. A recent study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that those who chewed 50 to 100 percent more than they usually did
decreased their food intake by 9.5 and 14.8 percent respectively. 5. Eat lunch earlier. Rather than making yourself wait until it's the ‘right’ time for your midday meal, grab something when you feel the first pangs of hunger. If you push lunch off to the last possible minute, you'll feel absolutely ravenous when it's time to eat something, which increases the likelihood that you'll pick the fastest and often least healthy option. And, if you're ready to bite into anything in sight, you often end up eating way more than you would have an hour earlier.
curbs your appetite and contributes to your emotional well-being. Here's the science: Serotonin (the neurotransmitter that makes us feel happy) secretion depends upon the secretion of insulin, which results from consuming carbs. Choose carbs that are high in fibre, such as whole grains, fruits, or beans, since high-fibre foods take longer to digest, thus keeping you full for longer. 8. Stop trying to figure out which diet style is best. Hint: They're all basically the same. A brand-new analysis of nearly 50 studies found that low-fat and low-carb diets are
be tuned out. Try to retrain yourself to trust your body's internal guide you're much better off sticking to a body-, not time-interval-based style of eating. 10. To lose a lot of weight, do it in small chunks. Taking it slow can truly make this a lifestyle shift instead of a diet. When you lose weight, you lose both fat and muscle. However, when an extreme diet ends and you gain weight back, you're probably gaining mostly fat. As a result, your body fat percentage increases and your lean muscle mass decreases. To counteract this possibility, incorporate musclestrengthening workouts at least twice a week and remember that slow and steady wins the race. It's best to limit the amount of daily calories you cut from your diet, instead focusing on swapping in healthier foods it makes for a more manageable strategy. The most common mistake most people make on a diet.
6. Actually enjoy your food. Eating is one of life's greatest pleasures, and too many of us miss it by rushing and multitasking during meals. Say no to the mealtime distractions that tend to lead to overeating and dissatisfaction. And instead of thinking about what you should cut out of your diet, think about what you should eat more of. Eliminating the concept of 'bad foods' spins your habits more positively, and we all feel better when we eat more real, whole foods. 7. Stop telling yourself carbs are the devil. Not only do carbohydrates provide the primary source of energy for your brain, but eating starchy or sweet carbs helps to increase serotonin levels, which naturally
virtually identical in terms of their ability to peel off the pounds say experts. That's why people are now being urged to find a way of eating that they actually like, because in the long term, it's nearly impossible and rarely worth it to stick to one that makes you miserable. 9. Stop forcing yourself to eat if you're not hungry. Listen to your body for hunger and satiety cues, and let them guide what and when you eat. If you eat mostly real, whole foods, your body will intuitively help with balance. It's much wiser than you think: It knows precisely what types of nutrients you need, how much, and how often. When you eat a ton of refined foods that are high in sugar, white flour, unhealthy fats, and salt, your intuition will
Losing track of what you've eaten A bite of your child's leftover dinner, a slice of the cake your colleague made for her birthday – it's easy to forget about everything we eat during the day. Try and be realistic about what you're eating, and even keep a food diary if you're really serious about weight loss for your health. This doesn't mean you always have to deny yourself, but try to limit treat foods to smaller portions, less often. Not exercising at all The more exercise you do, the more calories you burn and the quicker your metabolism gets. The key is to find workouts you enjoy – from dance classes and swimming to cycling to work. It all adds up. Overestimating the amount of exercise you do Exercise is great for burning calories, but remember it’s much easier to eat
calories than burn them off. A burger and chips can easily rack up 800+ calories, which would take you nearly 90 minutes of running to do away with. We're not saying obsess over calories, but don't don't be fooled into thinking 30 minutes in the gym means you can say yes to chips AND a brownie afterward without undoing all of your hard work. Research shows that once we start exercising more, we also start rewarding ourselves more – which ends up having the opposite effect on our bodies. Skipping meals Skipping a meal might reduce your calorie intake for that hour, but you'll just be hungrier later and more likely to overeat at the next meal to compensate. Irregular eating habits also disrupt your blood sugar and metabolism, making it harder for you to lose weight anyway. Underestimating portions It's so easy to eat more than you need. Proteins, such as meat or fish, should be the size of your palm, a single serving of carbohydrates is one handful, and vegetables and salads should fit into two closely cupped hands. Drinking lots of calories You might be conscious of fizzy drinks, but do you think about coffees, smoothies or even nut milks? And that’s without the alcohol! A large latte can contain as many as 300 calories, and if you make it a mocha, it could be as many as 600 (plus heaps of sugar) – or a third of your daily calorie allowance. Weighing yourself every day Although it's exciting to track how much you've lost, weighing yourself too often can be frustrating and even make weight loss harder in the long run. Successful weight loss is actually slow and gradual. A woman's weight can fluctuate during her menstrual cycle thanks to water retention, and if you're regularly weight training, you'll be building up lean muscle tissue, which takes up less space (smaller jeans) but weighs more (higher numbers on the scales). A better way to track progress is with a tape measure around your waist, bust and even arms and legs once a week or so. If you really love the scales, limit yourself to weekly or even bi-weekly weigh-ins. And remember that a healthy and sustainable weight loss goal is around 2lbs a week.
All About Health & Beauty To Burn or Not to Burn…This is the question As Spain has warmed up considerably in the past couple of weeks its right to have a timely reminder about the damage that the sun can do to our skins. Prevention is always better than cure and those of us who live here all year round are normally pretty sensible about sun exposure. However I guess that many of you will have visitors coming over and we all know the scenario. England and Ireland get lots of rain, and limited sunshine of any intensity, therefore our visitors too often make the mistake of trying to get a whole year’s worth of sunbathing in one or two weeks. This article is to help you to protect your family especially young grandchildren and teenagers.
We need to apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going into the sun to give it a chance to work. SPF of at least 30 is needed, even if dark skinned and always use an after sun moisturiser. Avoid the direct rays between 10am and 4pm , still go to the beach but use a parasol, hat and protective light clothing. If teenagers are having alcohol during the day they must avoid falling asleep in the sun. One of the worst sun burns I ever saw was a young man who fell asleep on the beach in Benidorm and had to be kept in hospital for three days for his severe burns and dehydration. If your visitors are unfortunate enough to get sunburned here are a few simple things to help them. Pharmacies are brilliant for these things but some home
remedies may help also. Ice packs, such as a packet of peas, placed in a clean tea towel will ease
immediate pain if severe enough, or even ice cold water as a cold compress. You can make a compress out of fat free milk as this will soothe, as will the liquid from an aloe vera plant, which many of us have
growing in our gardens. Cold yogurt can also be applied and if there is burning around the eye area cold tea bags are great. These are also good for puffy eyes at any time. If the legs are burned use all the above and keep them elevated to discourage swelling which will almost always happen. If burning is severe hydrocortisone cream 1% can be gently applied to the area. If the skin blisters try to avoid breaking the blister as infection may enter and antibiotics may be needed. If burning has occurred avoid soap as this dries the skin even more but vinegar in a bath of lukewarm water can be soothing or baking soda will have the same effect.
Keep your aftersun in the fridge and always make sure it is used to put moisture back into the skin. Sleeping on burned skin can be very painful but talcum powder applied to the sheets can make it more comfortable. After a bout of sunburn it is ESSENTIAL to keep up fluid intake either with plain water or even fruit with a high water content such as melon. It is as well to be aware for ourselves that certain medications can make us more sensitive to the sun, so if you have been prescribed any of the following since last summer check that you aren’t more sun sensitive then before. These include antibiotics, oral contraceptives and HRT, tranquillisers, St Johns Wort, diuretics and medication for diabetes. Happy, safe sunbathing.

Two Britons arrested for card fraud
The Guardia Civil in Moraira has detained in Benitachell two men of British nationality, aged 29 and 39 on two crimes of banking fraud, the crime of cultivating marijuana and of falsifying car number plates, and they are in touch with the British security services after conducting crimes in their native country. After several reports about banking fraud, the Guardia Civil opened an investigation into the facts in the area of Benitachell. The on-line purchases were sent to a false address, to people with a false name and only left a phone number for the delivery company. The packages were picked up, despite the addresses being false. The two Britons were clever in as much they waited some weeks before repeating the crime in the hope a different delivery person would be used and they would not be recognised.
However, the detectives found a good witness, who claimed he had seen one of the suspects, and so a lookout was established on him until his identity was confirmed. On entering his home for his arrest, they discovered many of the objects which had been fraudulently purchased, and a plantation of 48 marihuana plants. In their garage they identified a Hyundai where the number plates did not match the chassis number, and established it had been stolen in the United Kingdom. During the search they impounded, along with the car and the plants, several SIM cards, a portable computer, electronic devices and numerous bits of opened packaging, and so they were detained. The contents of the laptop are being analysed for the British Police, given the suspects could be facing more charges.
UK Foreign Office warns against deadly ‘balconing’ trend The UK Foreign Office has issued a warning to British holidaymakers who engage in ‘balconing’. The trend, which sees holidaymakers jump into their swimming pools from their balconies or leap from one balcony to another, killed three in Spain last year. A 34-year-old is currently in critical condition after suffering severe injury to his spinal cord when he attempted to jump into the swimming pool below his balcony. Will Middleton, FCO Consular Director for Southern Europe, said: “We have already seen a number of very serious injuries caused by balcony falls this summer. “We really do urge people to avoid taking risks around balconies, particularly if you have been drinking. “A momentary lapse of judgement can lead to a lifetime of consequences. So think balcony safety, look out for friends
and avoid doing anything that might cost a life.” Along with the Travel Association (ABTA), the Foreign Office created guidelines that would-be ‘balconing’ enthusiasts should follow. The guide said: • Never lean over, sit on or climb on the balcony wall or railings. • Don’t try to pass items to someone on another balcony. • Don’t climb from one balcony to another. • Never stand on balcony furniture. • Never jump into the pool from your balcony. • Take extra care on balconies after drinking alcohol as your judgement may be affected. The re-issued warning is part of a campaign that began five years ago, but the trend has continued unabated.

More Spanish residents relying on pensions For a third of Spanish households, a pension is the sole source of income. The latest National Statistics Institute report shows immigrant families’ income below national average. The report also shows that Spaniards are spending more on food and drink, whether at home or in bars and restaurants, and that consumption is driving what little growth the Spanish economy has shown in recent years. Most households depend either on a monthly pay or self-employed earnings. But the INE’s figures show that for 34.3 percent of households in Spain, a pension – for retired, disabled or widowed individuals – is the main source of income. A further 5.71 percent of households in Spain depend either on temporary unemployment benefits or welfare checks. The figure has fallen from a high
of 6.8 percent in 2014; in 2006, prior to the crisis, the figure was 2.3 percent. The number of salaried workers has risen to 47.12 percent, the highest level since 2011. What’s more, employees make up the biggest spenders, according to the INE’s data. The selfemployed make up 10.5 percent of households, as they did last year. How people earn their living has a big influence on how much money they spend. Households where the main breadwinner is working spent €31,095 last year, 13.4 percent higher than the average. Households where the main breadwinner is unemployed spent €17,461, which is 36 percent below average. In the case of households dependent on a pension, the average annual budget is €25,319. Nationality also influences spending, according to the INE’s figures. Non-
Spaniards spend on average €20,331 a year; compared to the €28,066 Spanish households spend. The area of spending that has grown the most since 2014 is drinking and dining out, with a 9.1 percent increase between 2014 and 2015. Similarly, Spaniards spent €60 more in 2015 than the previous year – a 3.9 percent increase – on culture and entertainment, while there was a 6.8 percent increase in all-inclusive holidays, along with a 6 percent hike in sports equipment spending. Broken down by regions, Basque families spent the most last year on average (€33,318), followed by Madrid (€31,532) and Navarre (€31,356). The lowest spending was recorded in Extremadura (€22,493), the Canary Islands (€23,372) and Andalusia (€24,342).
Bottle of Asda wine scoops prestigious award A bottle of wine which is sold at Asda supermarkets across the UK for under £5 has won a top award - and resulted in the superstore’s website crashing under the demand for orders. Even in the UK picking up a bottle of fine red wine does not have to be too costly thanks to the awardwinning Chilean Malbec now available at Asda for a bargain £4.37. The supermarket’s own label La Moneda Reserva Malbec, Central Valley, Chile 2015, has been awarded the best in show single varietal for under £15 at the prestigious Decanter World Wine Awards. Several UK supermarkets picked up a host of top medals at this year’s awards for their own-label wines, with Marks & Spencer’s Finest Reserve Port winning best in show for under £15. Demand for Asda’s bargain bottle of red, usually priced at £5.75, crashed the supermarket’s online Wine Shop after a flurry of orders. It was praised for flavours of "freshly crushed black fruit, creamy vanilla yoghurt and pepper spice" and
noted for its good value. Ed Betts, Wine Buying Manager at Asda, said the supermarket is “very proud” at picking up multiple prizes at this year’s prestigious global awards. “Our team of wine experts are always striving to offer our customers the very best value and our award for Best Single Varietal Red under £15 award in particular demonstrates this,” he said. “At just £5.75, the exclusive La Moneda Reserva Malbec is the perfect example of how we are able to offer shoppers exceptional quality at low prices. The La Moneda Reserva Malbec is also currently on rollback at just £4.37 a bottle, and as the perfect match to barbecued meats, we are expecting high demand in the coming weeks!” A total of 16,000 bottles were entered into the competition, which consists of a blind tasting test with a panel of 240 experts. The Decanter World Wine Awards 2016 chairman, Steven Spurrier said: “Pulling
together a globally unrivalled level of the top wine experts, The Decanter World Wine Awards is a great example of international togetherness and spirit. “Our sole purpose is to recognise and reward quality, this is what consumers all over the world are interested in. We only award medals to wines in which consumers can have the utmost confidence.”
Guardamar excavates ancient site Guardamar lifeguards on duty Several graduates and students from the Masters of Archaeology courses at the University of Alicante and the University of Murcia, along with volunteers from Guardamar del Segura and Torrevieja have participated in an archaeological excavations project. The work is being carried out at the Phoenician ‘Small Tin Head’ site throughout the month of June. The work is being sponsored by the City of Guardamar, which is subsidising the expenses of the archaeological project. The project is part of a joint initiative between the University of Alicante and the Archaeological Museum of Guardamar, MAG, under the direction of Professor Fernando Prados Martínez, University of Alicante and Antonio Garcia Menarguez, Director of MAG. Archaeological digs have been taking place since 6th June and have the authorisation of the Directorate General of Culture and Heritage of the Ministry of Education, Research, Culture and Sport, both part of the Generalitat de Valencia. In this first phase, the archaeologists are excavating in order to be able to document and date the different re-
structuring which evolved at the site as a result of earthquakes. The seismic activity has altered the walled core, which in turn affected a number of public spaces and urban structures attached to the wall casemates on the western slope within the reservoir called Sector 2; causing possibly the transfer of population to urban settlements at Fonteta, the other Phoenician site located on the south bank of the mouth of the River Segura. The archaeological work will resume in the coming autumn months and any
archaeological remains that have been unearthed will undergo a consolidation project and architectural restoration, in order to preserve the site ahead of its official approval as a cultural tourism product. The Small Tin Head is today the only town which has walls and casemates of Phoenician origin in the Iberian Peninsula, with a chronology that dates back to the first third of the eighth century BC, in the archaic phase Phoenician colonisation in this country.
Way ahead of most local municipalities, the Red Cross in Guardamar already has a team of lifeguards on the beaches in the town. The service covers Playa Centreo, Playa Roqueta and the part of Playa Babilonia which is open to the public. The service is provided each day from the hours of 11am to 7pm and incorporates 11 lifeguards, two quads, two jet skis and a vehicle for rapid response, equipped with a semi automatic defibrillator. From 4th July until 31st August the service will be extended to cover all the beaches in the municipality, including: Centro, Roqueta, Babilonia, Moncayo, El Campo and Ortigues. The increased service provision will see the lifeguard numbers rise to 40 professionals including lifeguards, boat captains and base managers and longer daily cover from 10am to 8pm. The Red Cross and Guardamar Town Hall have asked beach-goers to use caution and discretion this summer where the sea is concerned; to respect the
colour of the flags and the instructions of the lifeguards. Swimmer are reminded that a yellow flag means precaution and red means swimming is strictly prohibited. The Red Cross has emphasised the importance of being extra cautious with little ones and the elderly people. Swimming in the allocated areas is crucial to avoid accidents, so it is recommended to swim only on guarded beaches, taking the hours of the lifeguard service into account. It is also important to avoid getting into the water too quickly after having been in the sun or having eaten. You also have to be careful if while swimming you feel ‘strange’ symptoms such as sickness, vertigo, stings, shivers, head or neck pain. The Red Cross service on all beaches across the Valencian Community has an AENOR certificate of quality complying with rule 900 1:2008. Mireille Toddington

Rolls Royce reveals ‘robo ships’ It could be the future of shipping - and there's not a single sailor on board. Rolls Royce has revealed planed for fleets of 'drone ships' to ferry carry around the world - all controlled from a central 'holodeck'. It believes an entirely unmanned ship could take to the seas by 2020. Speaking at the Symposium Oskar Levander, Rolls-Royce, Vice President of
Marine Innovation at the firm said 'This is happening. It's not if, it's when. The technologies needed to make remote and autonomous ships a reality exist.' Rolls-Royce has worked together with VTT's researchers and Aalto University to develop the new bridge, known as the Future Operator Experience Concept or 'oX', and the new AAWA project is already trying out the
Top Gear in crisis already? The new-look Top Gear could have hit a crisis already as tensions are reportedly running high between co-hosts Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc. The recently revamped show has been hit with poor reviews and plummeting ratings since it first aired just weeks ago, but despite many fans praising Matt and Chris' partnership on-screen - it seems all is not well behind the scenes. According to reports, the pair have clashed, and now former Friends star Matt has allegedly even threatened to leave the show if Evans isn't given the boot. A source told The Sun newspaper in the UK: “The team does not gel at all, and the atmosphere between the presenters is decidedly frosty. It’s very much a picture of him – Chris – and them “Matt has already indicated that he won’t continue on any further series if Chris remains a part of it. And he is far from the only one who isn’t happy." Matt is thought to have signed up for two more series already - and reps have
since insisted the claims are "not correct". While a spokesperson for Matt told the media: “Nothing has been discussed or decided," a rep has since claimed: "It is not correct." Top Gear declined to comment on the claims. Meanwhile, BBC boss Alan Tyler, the acting controller of entertainment commissioning, has insisted that executives are pleased with the show's performance so far - despite ratings falling each week. "We are four episodes into the new Top Gear era with its new presenting line up, and remain really pleased with the way the series is performing," he said. "[Sunday] night’s episode was another great watch and yet again was easily the biggest show of the day on BBC Two. Being up against a major sporting event is always tough and that is partly why the series is performing so brilliantly on catch up and BBC iPlayer." *Top Gear is on BBC Two, Sundays at 8pm
technology needed. 'The AAWA project is testing sensor arrays in a range of operating and climatic conditions in Finland and has created a simulated autonomous ship control system which allows the behaviour of the complete communication system to be explored. 'We will see a remote controlled ship in commercial use by the end of the decade.' 'Unmanned ships open up exciting possibilities to redefine the way a ship is designed and functions,' he wrote in a white paper explaining the project. 'When there are no people on board, many constraints are removed.' The boats would be controlled from land using hi-tech control rooms. The AAWA whitepaper explores the research carried out to date on the business case for autonomous applications, the safety and security implications of designing and operating remotely operated ships, the legal and regulatory dimensions and the existence and readiness of a supplier network to deliver commercially applicable products in the short to medium term. Rolls-Royce has worked together with VTT's researchers and Aalto University to develop the new bridge, known as the Future Operator Experience Concept or 'oX'. It offers the crew smart workstations, which automatically recognise individuals when they walk into the bridge, and adjust to their own preferences. The windows of the bridge serve as augmented reality displays of the vessel's surroundings, including visualisation of potential hazards that would otherwise be invisible to the human eye. The system can, for example, pinpoint sea ice or tug boats and other craft that may not be visible to the crew, especially on large container ships. A prototype of the Unified Bridge system has recently entered service on the vessel Stril Luna, where it coordinates the operation of on-board equipment ranging from engines to propulsion and cargo handling. Stril Luna is a platform supply vessel designed to pierce through the waves under harsh weather conditions, making it possible to keep a more constant speed, reducing the use of fuel and increasing on board safety. Mikael Makinen, Rolls-Royce,
President - Marine, said: 'We are entering a truly exciting period in the history of shipping, where technology, and in particular the smart use of Big Data is going to drive the next generation of ships. 'Over the next ten to 20 years we believe Ship Intelligence is going to be the driving force that will determine the future of our industry, the type of ships at sea, and the competence levels required from tomorrow's seafarers. 'The new oX bridge concept, is one example of ship intelligence, and is a glimpse into the future where significant advances to navigation, efficiency of operations and safety at sea, can be achieved. 'With the demands of environmental legislation and rising operating costs, ships are going to become more complex. 'Add to that the fact that skilled crews are already in short supply, then we see a distinct gap opening up between the complexity of ships and the competency of the people who will crew them.
Over a million vehicles have defective tyres Tyres are amongst the most important elements of a vehicle, and the most abused at times, and their quality can quite literally mean the difference between life and death. However, despite all of the risks and the importance put on tyre safety, it is still anticipated that more than a million vehicles are on the roads of Spain alone with defective tyres. The Royal Automobile Club of Spain (RACE) in collaboration with GOODYEAR recently performed more than 380,330 technical inspections of vehicles and ITV stations throughout Spain. Of the 380,330 inspections in 14,744 cases they found tyres with very serious defects. Using that figure as a benchmark, the figure would relate to almost 4% of all of the vehicles on the roads of Spain, some 1.1 million vehicles, the majority of which are passenger cars. However, proportionally, light vans have a higher percentage of vehicles with
a total of 4.8% of all vans on the roads having serious defects. The most common defects found on the tyres checked were related to good tyre maintenance, normally because of excessive or uneven wear. The figures highlight the need to perform regular checks. For their part, GOODYEAR have produced 100,000 information leaflets which are being distributed through ITV centres and maintenance workshops offering further advice. At the N332 information group, organisers have spoken to supporters at Autos Direct in San Miguel and they have agreed to check your tyres for defects for free during July, and show you the most important elements you can check on your own. All you have to do is contact Autos Direct and say that you follow N332 and they will perform the checks for you. For more information, visit their website, autosdirect.es and get your tyres checked today.
'That will cause real problems for the industry, and we believe it is ship intelligence, that will fill that gap.' The oX concept, has been developed by studying user experience on ships today, and will transform the operating environment for crews on board large cargo ships and platform supply vessels. Using advanced 3D animation to illustrate just what could be achieved in the next decade, the new concept will utilise the latest digital techniques to create safer and more energy efficient ship operations. Today, Rolls-Royce already has many of the technologies that will be part of the intelligent ships of the future. The Unified Bridge system has recently entered service on the vessel Stril Luna, representing a new ergonomic approach to all the activity required on the bridge of a ship, coordinating the operation of on-board equipment ranging from engines to propulsion and cargo handling. The remote monitoring of equipment on board ships is also advancing, and Rolls-Royce has control centres in Alesund, Norway, and Rauma, Finland, where many ships and thrusters are already monitored in real-time in operation around the world. Oskar Levander, Rolls-Royce, Vice President - Innovation - Marine,
speaking at a Ship Intelligence briefing in London today, said: 'Many of the technology building blocks that will control the ships of the future are already available today, but there is still work to be done to develop marine solutions from them. 'We are investing in ship intelligence, which will be a major driver of the next transition era of shipping. 'Much in the way that sail gave way to steam powered ships, and coal gave way to oil, we will see increasingly sophisticated ships, highly automated and perhaps even unmanned remote controlled, plying the seas within the next two decades.' Earlier this year Rolls Royce revealed dramatic plans to replace cargo ships with crewless 'drone boats' controlled remotely. The firm is developing a 'virtual deck' in Norway that would allow captains to remotely command ships anywhere in the world. Drone ships would be safer, cheaper and less polluting for the $375 billion shipping industry that carries 90 percent of world trade, Rolls-Royce says. Rolls-Royce has already begun the process of designing giant drone ships able to shuttle cargo across the ocean minus a single solitary human being on board. The UK engineering group's Blue Ocean marine innovation department have announced the concept of the robot vessels they believe would be able to carry more cargo, cut costs, be safer and produce less pollution. Cameras would beam 360-degree views from the drone ship back to operators based in a virtual bridge VR system in Norway navigating the vessel remotely to steer them to their destinations. Talks have commenced over any regulatory obstacles and potential perceived hurdles and Rolls Royce are optimistic that the drone ships may be operational in ten years time. A Rolls-Royce Spokesperson says: 'Some steps have already been taken, mainly in the naval area, but we believe a first step will be moving certain functions on a ship ashore. 'For example, remote engine and equipment monitoring and some underwater operations - such as controlling ROVs - in the offshore sector could be the first.' The firm has already begun outfitting ships with advanced cameras.

La Nucia Medieval Market livelier than ever In 1705 La Nucia, up till then a small hamlet belonging to the barony of Polop, gets recognised as an independent village. Now, 311 years later it's become a really nice place with an old town centre, picturesque streets and lovely town houses. Just the place to hold a Medieval Market, which is what it does, every year since the celebration of its 300th anniversary. Together with Amata, the regional craft association, which makes it a quality event. On 8, 9 and 10 July, from 6 in the late afternoon, till midnight. With craft work, live entertainment, falconry and lots of food. Amata craft fairs really are about quality. The quality of the craft people and the work they do, the care and attention they give to the materials on which they work - clay, leather, glass, wood, fabric, iron, copper and a lot of other materials. These are all people who spend their lives making beautiful things because that's what they want to do, who enjoy their work and want you to share this joy. They will set up some 60 stalls in the narrow streets of La Nucia's old town centre, with leather handbags and wooden toys, hand made pottery and
original jewelry, hand painted fans and Tshirts, spoons made of cows horns and hand made shoes and sandals. You can watch a sculptor and a blacksmith at work and have a try at the potters' wheel. And as you make your way along the narrow streets, small
groups of musicians wander along, there's a juggler or perhaps somebody on stilts, beggars and noble men - well, all the usual amusements of a medieval market. The smaller children can take a ride on a tiny wooden merry-go-round, visit the animal farm or ride a donkey, while their parents try the beer at the tavern - or perhaps take some tea in the Arab tea tent. There are two taverns with a BBQ (one of them with a whole roast pig on a spit), you can try pulpo (no, not calamar, but the real octopus) and you can buy goat cheese, cured sausages, dried fruit and fresh bread straight from the wood oven to take home with you
(don't burn your fingers!). This year for the first time there will also be a choice of ecological products. Not in the medieval market itself, but on a little square next to it, where a dozen or so local and regional producers sell their ecological fruit, vegetables, wine and oil. Normally they have a little market at the El Cautivador estate, every second Saturday of the month, but because of the medieval market, they will set up stall in the village. The medieval market is set up in the old village centre, around and at the back of the ayuntamiento (Town Hall) with plenty of parking space nearby. It opens on Friday 8, Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 July at 6 pm and finishes every evening with an impressive fire show with jugglers and faquirs (starting about 11:30pm, on Sunday somewhat earlier). During the last two matches of the UEFA Euro 2016 the market offers an attractive escape for those who don't like football!! If you want to know more, give Elvira a ring at 639 979 678 (she also speaks English) or have a look at http://www.amata.es/LaNucia%2015.ht ml (Spanish and English) with pictures of the Market last year, or you can look at pretty pictures of other events elsewhere organised by Amata.

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.

The Members ROCKET’S GOLF SOCIETY Golf Society Every time that we visit this course they seem to be making improvements to it, and for the better I might add. This visits surprise was that work was being carried out on the par3 3rd. so the clever guys at Alenda decided to use one of the holes on their “academy course” that conveniently runs alongside the 3rd. what a fantastic challenge it made! Approximately the same length and very pleasing on the eye, some member’s commenting on it had said that it’s a pity that it isn’t a fixture on the course. The rest of the course was, as always in great condition and as you will see from the results that this is a firm favourite with our members. Results for the N.T.P. Competition; Hole 3 Joe Dean, hole 5 Mick Kennedy, hole 13 nada, hole 16 Colin Marsden. Our best guest was from Iceland, Henrik Bjarnason who scored 27 pts. The “2’s” pot contained just €22 and this was picked up by Mick Kennedy for his 2 on hole 5. Silver category; 3rd on L/H Alex Goslan 31 pts. 2nd Mick Kennedy 32 pts. and winner Colin Marsden with 35 pts. Gold category; 3rd Alan Rixson on L/H 34 pts. 2nd Kjell Aasebo 36 pts. and winner Dutchman Fred Kras with 39 pts.Photo: Gold category winners.

COSTA COBRAS RFC, CONGRATULATIONS TO SPANISH 7’S TEAM After a busy week of rugby and many firsts happening firstly congratulations must go to the Spanish 7’s team qualifying for the Olympics Games next year. Also the England U20’s winning the Rugby World Cup, and last but not least England winning again in Australia making it a clean sweep and a whitewash. Now with all of this let’s develop the sport over here with many new teams and established ones in different areas here. Costa Cobras RFC are the newest kids on the block and have many things in the pipeline with teams coming over to tour. It looks like we will have a ladies team coming over in May next year, so will be looking for teams to play in a tournament against them. Also we have been informed that other people looking at bringing teams over to the Guardamar area of Spain, this can only be

This report gives you “two for one” The first was a welcome return to Vistabella and a good turnout, the second is the celebrated Arthurs Bash for Arthurs Williams birthday. For the 14th It has to be said, the course is in very good condition and very playable, with greens taking well struck putts, but some got labelled as a dyslectic golfer – they couldn’t read the greens, the competition was Stableford. Arthur Williams seems to be celebrating his birthday in advance with a handicap cutting 40 points. The second event at El Plantio Golf was a twofold event as it not only celebrated Arthurs birthday but the 5th year of the renaming of the Society to Rockets. RESULTS 14th JUNE GOLD CATEGORY 1ST Arthur Williams 40 points 2nd Alan Clifford 36 points 3rd Ron Swift 35 points
SILVER CATEGORY 1st Malcolm Woods 37 points 2nd Dave Guerrine 28 points 3rd Ron Chambers 26 points NEAREST PIN Hole 4: Malcolm Woods Hole 15: Ron Swift LONGEST DRIVE: Alan Clifford BEST GUESTS: “Dinky” 37 points So it was back to St. James’s Gate for the celebrated munchies, thanks to Martin and staff for their hospitality. RESULTS – “ARTHURS BASH” 18th JUNE – NICHOLSON TROPHY Another good turnout for the annual “Arthurs Bash” and a glorious win for the holder of The Nicholson Trophy Ken Hopkins with another handicap cutting 39 points. It was all back the St. James’s Gate for Arthurs Party in the evening, thanks Arthur for a super night.
SWIMMING: 10 trophies for the 6 Club Natacion Torrevieja swimmers This Sunday Torrevieja hosted the “VX City of Torrevieja Traversia” where 160 swimmers of all ages came together to compete in a 2,250m sea swim. After the brilliant sunshine of the previous weeks the competitors arrived at Playa de Los Locas, Torrevieja, on a dull and windy Sunday morning. The sea looked less than inviting over the grey skies and the water felt cold. However all competitors went off at a fine speed and struggling with waves that hid the marker buoys all swimmers finished their race at Playa del Cura, Paseo Juan Aparicio, about 35 minutes later. Club Natacion Torrevieja had six swimmers entered into the competition and all 6 made their club proud. First to finish for the team was Zoe Connolly, the first female of the competition to finish and the 4th swimmer to finish
overall with a time of 33:27. This placed her 1st in category Junior Female and 1st in the female local swimmers competition. Followed directly after her, being placed 6th overall, was co-team mate and friend Piroska Rideg, coming second in the Junior Female category and 2nd in the local female competition. Piroska’s time 34:05. To finish an outstand set of results Skye Burns fellow team mate and best friend came in 3rd in the Female Junior category and 3rd in the local females category, Skye's time 35:55. Skye finished as the 18th fastest swimmer in the competition. What makes this such an impressive win is three best friend, in the top three positions, swimming in an age category far older than their ages. Nobody could have guessed these three friend could achieve so much
together. Well done girls! And not to be “out swam” the only male member of Club Natacion Torrevieja team, Yuriy Lymar, matched the girls results finishing first in the Male Senior category and 1st in the local male category, with a time just behind Piroska of 34:09, placing him 6th of the 160 swimmers. Then the two older swimmers of the club kept up the winning streak with Vicki Connolly, being the oldest of her category, placed 2nd in the Female Masters B group with a time of 37:10 and finishing 25th of the 160 swimmers. Fellow team mate and friend, Beth Altabas, then followed placed 1st in the Female Masters D category with a time of 42:52 and 60th of the 160 swimmers. So a total of 10 trophies for Torrevieja 6 swimmers. Congratulations to all.

Blarneystone Golf Society - Roda Some of our regular players gave this outing a miss choosing instead to watch the England v Wales game in the euro championships (was it worth it?) Another absentee wasn´t by choice, Alan James who had played in every game since we formed last October had a rather nasty accident involving a palm tree, we wish him a speedy recovery. We don´t usually include golf tips in our write ups but one for this month must be "if you want to play golf all summer don´t climb palm trees!" Those of us who did play were fearing the worst for the weather with the previous Monday reaching record temperatures, we needn´t have worried the weather conditions were ideal. Roda was as always in excellent condition and many thanks to Jose and his staff. We caught the second
half of the football at Roda then returned to the Blarneystone for the presentation and great food from Gill, thanks go to Eamon and Gill for a great evening. NTP hole 2 - Ron Chaffe NTP hole 7 - Claire Dynes NTP hole 11 - Janet Bryan NTP hole 13 - Dave Hudson 2s pot - Ron Chaffe Longest Drive - John Bryan Best Guest - Arnold Kernohan 3rd place - John Dynes - 31 points 2nd place - Ron Chaffe - 34 points 1st place - John Bryan - 38 points Our next game is at Las Colinas on Thursday 21st July. call in to the Blarneystone at Zeniamar to add your name to the list, guests always welcome.

WHO ARE YOUR FAVOURITES? Much as I’d love to see Spain notch up a third in a row, I doubt if their defensive frailties are going to permit this. As we go to press, they are due to face Italy, and, if that goes well, have the daunting prospect of a tie with Germany to look forward to. Meanwhile England will have to struggle to find enough teamwork to get the better of Iceland, which will only earn them a thrashing by France. Cynical, moi? The best performance I have seen so far was Belgium’s 4-0 beating of a quite decent Hungary, with Hazard and de Bruyne outstanding, and a fine goalkeeper in Courtois – they will be hard to beat, and should overcome plucky Wales in the ‘quarters,’ though the boys in red will certainly make a good scrap of it. Away from the Eurocup, the final places in division 2 have been settled, with Sevilla’s second string side
overcoming Lleida on penalties, and Cádiz beating Alicante’s Hercules 2-0 on aggregate, to take their places alongside Reus and UCAM Murcia in the Adelante
Second Division. Meanwhile, one of the sides promoted from that league to the top flight, Alavés, has secured the coaching services of none other than Manuel Pellegrini for the coming season, after the Chilean was replaced by Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Malcolm Palmer
2 Last Race Day ElGolfPlantio Society of the SAMM Spring Series 2016 San Miguel Golf Society at are in a rich vein of form at the moment,but unfortunately, at our standard of golf, it is usually all too fleeting.

La Finca
Sunday June 19th marked the last race day of what has been a memorable SAMM Spring Season. With six members of the Balaton Group and the regular crew of the Catamaran away, only four Shoestring Group boats competed. Dos (Stormin' Norman and Mike Bates); Tres (Tug Wilson, Pat Fleck); Cuatro (Jack Moss, Di Hardwick and ?) and the RS Quba (John Down). Today was John's first race outing in his new single hander and he did exceptionally well getting to grips with his new toy. Some tweaking is needed to get the best out of the dinghy and no doubt John has a list of adjustments to work on. CTD was extremely busy with hundreds of revellers enjoying a day out on the Mar Menor and, although it is great for the kids, our crews wished the jet-skiers would take a more care and show some courtesy for others. The first race started in calm
conditions and, apart from being drenched by spray from the jet-skiers, was fairly uneventful. The four laps were completed in 30 minutes and it was decided to increase the distance between the buoys for the second as the wind was beginning to pick up. Everybody had a good start and Cuatro and RS Quba were neck and neck for much of the race. All was going well until the 2nd lap when Dos capsized on the downward leg and retired. The RS Quba and Cuatro continued to battle it out as Tres gained on them inch by inch. The increased wind speed made for an exciting race which was over in 1 hour. Results:- Race 1: Tres, Cuatro, Dos, RS Quba. Race 2: Tres, Cuatro, RS Quba. SAMM racing starts again in September. For info on SAMM go to www.sailingmarmenor.com Photo: Tug Wilson left, Pat Fleck right, winners of both races.
A gorgeous morning found 37 members and 16 guests gathering at La Finca to play 2 events. Firstly, the Society’s regular stableford competition, and a second pitting long time member Colin Rust’s home Club Gedney Hill, located in deepest Lincolnshire, against the might of an SMGS team under a combined team score stableford format. Taking the latter first, SMGS came out resounding winners, but it was not the win that mattered, but the fact that all had an enjoyable time playing together and socialising afterwards. In the members’ competition scoring was close, with 26 scoring 30 or more points. The day’s standout returns came from Theo Boelhouwer and
Norman Cahill, who both broke par with 38 points, possibly motivated by their competing against their respective Ganley Hill pairs. In the remaining SMGS match play singles semi-final Ben Price came out on top against Steve Fleet. He will now meet Steve Higgins in the final The day’s stableford competition
results, by category and in reverse order, were the following: Bronze Category: 5th Chris Hamblett (31), 4th Norman McBride (32 on CB), 3rd Les Wilton (32 on CB), 2nd Keith Stevenson (34), and 1st Brian Mulligan with 36 points. Silver Category: 5th Mike Jordan (32), 4th Ken Flaherty (35), 3rd Paul Kelsall (36), 2nd Norman Cahill, sharing the day’s best score of 38 points with Theo Boelhouwer, who pipped Norman on count back. Gold Category: 5th Mike Frankish (32), 4th Ben Price (34 on CB), 3rd Steve Higgins (34 on CB), 2nd Tony Smale (35), and 1st, Order of Merit leader John Osborne, with 36 points. Nearest the pins on the par 3’s (open to all) went to Keith Stevenson (hole 3), Steve Higgins (6), Norman McBride (13) and Terry Morris (16). Nearest the pins in 3 went to John Aitchison (Gold, hole 7), Theo Boelhouwer (Silver, hole 11), Ian Parkinson (Bronze, hole 10) and David Lord (Guests, hole 18). The Abacus was won, to the amazement of all regulars, by Robin Eastman. Best Guest prizes: Only one of the 16 guests playing was not from amongst our friends from Gedney Hill, and he, Gary Groocock, took the Best Guest prize with 31 points, followed by Rob Newns (29 on CB), Adam Briton (29 on CB) and Mike Maskell (28 on CB). Our thanks go to the staff at La Finca golf course for their contribution to an enjoyable day.

TORREVIEJA CC 68 for 10 SPORTING ALFAS 71 for 4 Torrevieja welcomed Sporting Alfas second team to the estadio de deportes in their latest league game. Sitting at the top of the table, the visitors were looking to cement their league position whilst Torrevieja were looking to get back on the winning streak after a defeat against Madrid. Winning the toss, Torrevieja decided to bat and soon lost their first wicket K Wood falling to J Ahmed. The following batsman fared little better and apart from a stubborn innings of 11 from junior Taylor Braisher, Torrevieja were all out for 68, with 5 batsmen failing to score. J Ahmed ( 5 overs 3 for 20 ) W Ashraf ( 2
overs 3 for 1 ) and J Perman ( 4 overs 2 for 5 ) did the damage for Alfas. With a mind set of “ anything they
can , we can do “ Torrevieja set about their task with great spirit, resulting in
a great run out in the first over. A second wicket fell in the 2nd over and Torrevieja were beginning to believe they could win. Alfas batsmen, T Brown ( 18 ) and K Perman (33 no ) were in no mood to go down without a fight and after only 15 overs they pushed the total over the winning line. Young Ciaran Guichard bowled as well as ever taking 2 for 24 in 7 overs. The game was played in good spirit and Torrevieja are looking forward to the return game July. Anyone wishing to join Torrevieja CC should contact Graham on 605 31 98 89 or torrevieja-cricket@live.com. The next game is at the stadium on 2nd July starting at 1100 hrs.

NETBALL GALORE FOR ROJALES SEÑORITAS! Rojales Netball Club took part in the La Manga Netball 7's last weekend attended by 25 teams from the UK, 1 from Copenhagen plus Marbella and La Manga. Their first game was a local derby as they were drawn against La Manga and they came away triumphant with a 5-2 win. They then brushed aside three of the UK teams with empathetic wins leaving them just Copenhagen to play in their qualifying group. This was a much tougher game and despite some good netball they lost which meant they came second in their group due to goal difference. On to the knockout stage and Rojales were really up against it with
tough opposition from the West Midlands. They were 3-0 down at half time but with fighting spirit managed
to pull it back to 4-4 at full time and won 5-4 with the golden goal. With not much rest Rojales then had to take on a team from Surrey in the
quarter finals. Even though the girls worked tirelessly they couldn't pull this one out of the bag but need not be too disappointed as the opposition did make it all the way to the final. What a great weekend of netball with some great performances both on and off the court! Vamos Rojales Señoritas! Rojales Netball are now on their summer break but will be back on Tuesdays in Quesada from September. Next season they want to be bigger and better and with some dates already in the diary for competitive games are looking for new players/coaches/umpires age 14+ to join them.

Tales from the top flight ABBEY ANGLING We fished the 5th round of the Summer Series at the El Bosquet Complex on the 21st June. Summer seems to be here in full force and temperatures were up to 40 degrees, the strong winds are still with us and occasionally out of nowhere a gale force blast that only lasts for a few seconds, but manages to turn brollies inside out and scattering anything that is not tied down. Fishing is now at its best with the occasional 30kg bag, the total weight for the day was 188.200kgs for the thirteen anglers that fished the match, with all baits catching even the method feeder taking double weights. 1st Terry Screen with 25.400kgs fishing the pole using pellet and maggot 2nd Ron Salisbury with 22.680kgs fishing the pole using bread 3rd Lennie Bolton with 19.820kgs fishing the pole using pellet and paste There are still some vacancies available for membership at the club All details are available on our website www.abbeyangling.com or from me on 965328368.
RODS & REELS On Monday 20th June we fished the annual Knock-out competition at the Eden Stretch on the river Segura. The pegs were few and far between as it is very overgrown and a lot of work is required. There also seems to have been an explosion of Terrapins of around 2-3 inches in diameter, they
must have had a very good breeding season. The water is down at least eighteen inches with no flow. Winning the cup in Top spot was: FIRST Lennie Bolton with 12.600kgs fishing the pole using bread and maggot SECOND Dave Hutchinson with 8.860kgs fishing the pole using bread THIRD Terry Screen with 4.980kgs fishing the pole using bread and maggot The 9th round of the Summer Series was also fished at El Bosquet Complex on the 22nd June. The hoards of mosquitoes that were present a few months ago, now seem to have disappeared which is a Godsend! We wondered if fishing the same venue two days on the trot would make any difference to the weights being caught, the total weight to-day was 149.200kgs and between ten fishing that is an average of 14.980kgs per fisherman, as to yesterday’s average of 14.470kgs for the thirteen fishermen, so very little difference really. 1st Lennie Bolton with 31.580kgs fishing the pole using bread and pellet 2nd Dave Hutchinson with 25.240kgs fishing the pole using bread 3rd Mick Hill with 18.140kgs fishing the pole and pellet.

TFTTF has been sick over the weekend. Not as sick as Gareth MacAuley must be feeling, but pretty rough. I mean, we didn’t score the own goal that sent our nation home, we just had a bit of man flu. However, illness in mind, today’s column may bare a little resemblance to Saturday’s Round of 16 matches as opposed to those played on Sunday. And by that, I mean dull, lifeless and waiting for the final whistle. Cast your minds back to last week when Roy appeared to offend the whole country by making a few changes for the match against Slovakia. My word, you would have thought he had told lies to win a referendum or something. England, for the third game running, dominated their opponents. The only slight problem was they couldn’t score. Still, who care about last Monday when you will be reading this after we have probably lost on penalties to Iceland or something? Rumour has it that Raheem Sterling will be recalled after a poor tournament so far, the first time Sterling has appeared to be on the up in the last few days. Wales topped the group, smashing Russia 3-0.
a game that can soon be forgotten, were sadly eliminated by the outstretched boot of MacAuley, trying to divert Bale’s cross to safety. Everyone loves to have a giggle at Ronaldo, which is a little harsh but still quite funny. The Madrid striker scored twice against Hungary but, as is often the case, had to look on in disgust as his defence managed to ship three Hungarian goals into their own net. Portugal drew 3-3, meaning they had to play everybody’s new tournament favourites Croatia in the Round of 16. Croatia, this time with Modric, completely bottled the occasion and Portugal nicked the winning goal in injury time. Iceland topped the group, I know! They beat Austria 2-1 with a late winner, leading to one of the most enjoyable emotional breakdowns by a commentator I have ever heard. Go and find it, it is worth it. What about the Republic of Ireland? This time last week they were well out of it, having been humbled by Belgium. In their final game they had to play an Italian side already guaranteed top spot in their group.
One thing that is certain in football, when Italy have nothing to play for in a match they find a way of losing it and so they did! Robbie Brady headed home the goal that saw the Republic claim a knockout game against France and tempted Roy Keane into nearly showing us a smile. Sweden, and
tournament. Shaqiri unleashed a marvellous overhead kick in his side’s 1-1 draw with Poland, but still managed to end up on the losing side via the dreaded penalty shootout. Robbie Brady was at it again, opening the scoring for Ireland against France from the penalty spot. The goal meant that Norwich City had contributed more goals to the tournament than proper clubs like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Chelsea and, er, Manchester City. 1-0 up at half time and Ireland looked as though they might be on the verge of quite the upset. Twelve or so minutes later, 2-1 behind and with only ten remaining, Ireland had lost their chance. Still, they achieved their original aim of not being one of the eight worst teams in the tournament so fair play. Germany managed to do what England were unable to do and locate the back of the Slovakian net, beating them 3-0 and even being able to miss a penalty. Don’t get too excited, if it had been a shoot out they would have scored it. Belgium, everyone’s completely over rated side at the start of the tournament, ended Hungary’s run by demolishing them 4-0. In Premier League news, the Poch has analysed where Spurs went wrong in the league and has decided what he needs is is another midfielder that can run around a lot. He has snaffled up Southampton’s Victor Wanayama for £11m or so. £11m used to be a lot, but since last week not so much.
therefore Zlatan, bowed out of the tournament losing 1-0 to Belgium. It was a tough tournament for the striker, hanging around waiting for his team to move the ball forward to him, preying that one day he may get a shot on goal. He is rumoured
Southampton are clearly having a typical summer, as Sadio Mane wants to follow his old manager to Merseyside, the only difference being he prefers red to blue. Leo Messi has retired from international football, meaning that all pro-Maradona folk in that age old argument will be able to forever say, “yeah but Messi never won the World Cup did he?” Chile beat Argentina on penalties to win the Copa America.
There are still some vacancies at the Club and if anyone is interested in joining please contact Derek Swann on 9966729293 or 617283503.
Your week in sport ■ CHRIS DARWEN England have really become quite good at rugby all of a sudden, completing a 30 series win in Australia with a 44-40 victory. It’s a shame the next World Cup is another three years away, as it is a long time to keep up that kind of momentum. Still, enjoy it whilst it lasts I suppose. Tyson Fury has had to postpone his title fight against Vlad. Fury hurt himself
in training, so the fight has been put back until October. Fury clearly took advice from David Haye who blamed a defeat to the Ukranian on the fact he had a bad toe. Too right Tyson, only fight him if you are 100% fat, I mean fit. There have been completely unconfirmed reports and allegations of doping made against Fury. I think they have confused it with him just being a bit of a dope. In other boxing news, Anthony Joshua blitzed Dominic Breazeale in a seventh round win. The complete opposite to his rival Fury, Joshua is the crowd favourite and is due to have a long break now before taking his career worldwide. The fighter is possibly the
one to create the British heavyweight legacy that has been long overdue. There has been some excellent ODI cricket played in the last week. Firstly, needing seven to win against Sri Lanka with one ball left, Liam Plunkett dispatched the ball for a huge six meaning the game was tied. Days later, Sri Lanka set England 250 odd to win which the openers Hales and Roy knocked off themselves both registering great tons. Sadly Sunday’s match in Bristol was abandoned due to the weather, meaning England won the series 1-0. Pakistan next, and Jimmy Anderson is a doubt with a shoulder injury. Ben Stokes should be back. Jessica Ennis-Hill is up and running and looking very good for Rio. The Olympic champion set a personal best in Germany. Claiming to be fitter than ever, the Sheffield athlete has to be odds on to claim gold in Brazil. To be honest, I had forgotten golf was in the Olympics until Rory McIlroy withdrew from the tournament due to fears over the Zika virus. Monday marks the first day of the annual fortnight where the Brits pretend they love tennis. Champion Novak Djovokic kicks it all off at Wimbledon by knocking out GB’s Jamie Ward by about 16:10 Spanish time.
I wonder if Del Bosque got as much grief as Roy did? He didn’t even change his team up and they lost to Croatia, a Croatia without Luka Modric no less. The shock result meant that Spain have to play Italy and, oh the joys of writing for a weekly, you will know the result of that one too by the time you have got to here. The Northern Ireland goalkeeper McGovern, out of contract at Hamilton Accies for all your Scottish football fans at a loose end currently, played superbly to keep Germany down to one, meaning O’Neill’s team progressed to the next round, incredibly. They played Wales and, in
to be moving to Manchester United any day now. I’ll let you put the two together and create your own joke. It tells you a lot about the Premier League when a Stoke City player scores possibly the goal of the
