No change in‘Forgotten Guardamar’ ore than fifteen months ago an article entitled ‘Forgotten Guardamar’ featured on our front page. This week the residents we worked with on that original story have been back in touch, concerned because unfortunately, absolutely nothing has changed.

In Guardamar, the area north of Calle Alfonso Marin is known as Sector Sup-7.

It was developed more than 10 years ago and runs adjacent to the River Segura stretching down to The Marina.

However, after our front page header the locals now refer to it as 'Forgotten Guardamar' and it looks like that is exactly what has happened to this

BITE SIZE Orihuela Costa sports NEWS: centre labelled ‘scam’ Emergency services respond to false call The emergency services were called out to rescue a bather who was having problems on Tuesday afternoon in the sea off the Playa del Cura in Torrevieja. However, it turned out to be a false alarm.

The services that went to the scene included maritime rescue, the local police and the rescue helicopter, who were all searching for a women reported to be in distress for more than 40 minutes.

One of the lifeguards had thought he had seen a bather holding on to a buoy out in the water past the zone indicated for swimmers. However, it eventually transpired that this couldn’t have been the case and the search was called off.

Aquaopolis discount day for the disabled Aquopolis Torrevieja are opening their doors on Saturday 30th July at a discount price for the disabled and their assistants.

The price for a disabled person on this day will be €6.70 and those accompanying them, maximum of two, will have to pay €9.20 each.

Food is available at a price of of €8.20 for the burger menu and €8.99 for selfservice. You can also bring your own food but it must not be contained in glass bottles or tin cans.

The management of the Orihuela Costa municipal Sports Centre (CDM) has been criticised by the councillor for the opposition Cambiemos party, Karlos Bernabé. The centre was put into private management for an eight year contract, which can be extended to the same company for a further eight years.

However, the opposition councillor said that the cost to taxpayers of maintaining the CDM is €2,400,000, plus the money they pay to use the

facilities – and called the situation a ‘scam’.

He said the prices are ‘abusive’ and excludes everyone except the wealthy.

The price for a swim is €3.40, while in Pilar or Torrevieja it is less than €3.

The Councillor proposed that the centre should be taken out of private hands and audited, so that more accessible prices can be set and people no longer have to put up with this ‘elitist’ way of running the sports centre.

Police bust at drug den A drugs house in Orihuela Costa has been closed down by the police. Pilar de la Horadada Guardia Civil also arrested four men who are suspected of two drug trafficking offences and one of defrauding the electricity supply in Orihuela Costa.

At the house there was a constant flow of youths entering and leaving, and some stayed inside for several hours. This worried neighbours, who alerted the police and so the Guardia started to investigate the premises and its comings and goings.

The officers arrested two people leaving the house in a vehicle transporting a large quantity of pills and two bags of a white substance that tests found to be methamphetamines, speed and codeine.

After finding enough evidence, they searched the house, finding 2 kilos of

marijuana in different jars and classified according to its type and quality, 44 grams of hashish, 14 grams of amphetamines, 2 doses of cocaine and two methamphetamine tablets, which coincided with what was confiscated from the two men in the car, so they arrested the two men inside.

Also in the house were notes showing the sales made, a set of scales, tools and adapted aerosol cans used for hiding marijuana inside, security cameras and two hunting dogs in the garden.

The lounge had various pipes for smoking drugs and a bar with tools and drugs ready for sale.

They had put an air extractor in the chimney to clear the smoke, which was just as well being as officers had seen up to 10 people at once in there to take and acquire drugs.

BITE SIZE Firefighters tackle lagoon blaze NEWS: Continued from page 3 There will be additional personnel available on the day too to help.

Beach pride On 11th July the councillor for beaches in Torrevieja, Javier Manzanares, raised the blue flag on Cala Piteras, one of the five beaches in Torrevieja to achieve this award from the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). The other beaches include Torrelamata Sur, Los Locos, El Cura and Los Naufragos.

In addition to winning recognition from the EEF, flags have also been allocated to six beaches by Qualitur.

Councillor Manzanares explained that these quality marks are not easy to maintain but that they are working towards increasing the number of beaches eligible. He is also keen to establish that the delay in providing the lifeguard service will not prevent the beaches receiving these awards in future.

However, the positioning of drones on the beaches of Torrevieja has suffered a setback. The Baywatch drone is unlikely to be in place before August, if at all this summer. It was intended that Torrevieja would pioneer this new innovation whereby drones would help patrol from the sky. There is uncertainty about who will be responsible for controlling the drones and whether it would be lifeguards or other personnel.

There are also security issues to do with the project. The drones cannot operate any further south than Los Locos because it would affect the airspace of San Javier airport. However, the project could still go ahead in La Mata. Questions have been raised about what happens to the drones for the remainder of the year. However, there are possibilities that the drones could help the local police for example, during fires and major events.

Habaneras begins The long awaited traditional Habaneras competition has begun in Torrevieja.

Altogether 600 singers will take part from all over the world in this 62nd competition.

It takes place between the 18th and 24th July and includes 15 choirs, 11 of which are from Europe with three from America and one from Asia. The event opened with singing by the Madrigal Singers, who are not actually taking part in the competition.

They are considered to be one of the best choirs in the world and were first prize winners in 2004.

On Saturday 23rd July some of the winning choirs will be singing and the closing ceremony will be on Sunday July 24th with local choirs competing. The compulsory song this year that all the choirs must sing is ‘a mi añoransa’. This competition is considered to be one of the most important of its kind in the world and attracts singers from all over. This year the event will be hosted by the international TV journalist Marta Ventura who is a presenter on TVE.

Torrevieja to host international dance competition In September Torrevieja will be the venue for the ‘cuerpo Romo’ festival of dance. The festival will take place on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th September at different venues across the town. The dancing will be organised by the dance company Elias Aguirre in collaboration with the Department of culture.

Throughout the night on Wednesday 13th July, firefighters were tackling two fires in the reed beds next to the salt marsh on the shore of the Torrevieja lagoon. The fires started at around midnight and the fire brigade were alerted at 12.15 am. The devastated area is next to the housing estate, El Salado, and the fire put homes in danger too.

The fire brigade was seven hours trying to bring the fire under control and

additional support was called in from Almoradi as well as needing all the efforts of the local fire brigade. The fire brigade eventually left the area at 7.00 am on Thursday morning. It is suspected that the fire was started deliberately.

The columns of smoke were visible for several kilometres and the extent of the damage is unknown. Palms and other trees were also affected. An important role of the fire service was to control the fire and stop

it from spreading to the houses adjacent to the area; the relatively high wind on Thursday morning making the task more difficult.

The fire could be seen as far away as Quesada but as the wind was blowing in the direction of the lake this helped prevent the local housing being affected.

Defence against wild fires This is not the first time that this area has suffered a fire such as this. During 2014

a number of fires both by the salt lake and La Mata lake were put down to a potential fire starter in the area. Last year a succession of fires near the La Marina camping area were also attributed to arson.

When a fire such as this takes hold it can be very difficult to stop it. At this time of the year with the dry conditions, the grass and reeds surrounding the natural lakes are like tinder and easily ignite.

The regional minister of agriculture, the

Indoor market closes in the afternoon From the 1st August, Torrevieja’s indoor market will close in the afternoons for an indefinite period of time. The notice to La Plasa indoor market stallholders was sent out by the councillor for Commerce, Manuela Osuna.

The market is already under occupied with only eleven of the forty stalls available being used. Of these, only two open in the afternoons, making maintaining the market open at these times unviable. This decision does not apply to the five premises on the outside of the building. The closure of the market at these times, however, will also mean that the public toilet will not be accessible.

In theory, all of the market stalls should open in the afternoon, but as so many of them do not, the town council has decided it is better to make this official and apply it to everyone. From the 1st August the market will only be open from 7.30am until 2.30 pm.

The market is hardly used in the afternoon and officially closing it at this time will mean a saving in air conditioning, electricity, water and cleaning. It will also mean that the two caretakers can be given other jobs elsewhere in the town during this time.

It is intended to make some improvements to the facilities on offer to draw more trade there and make it viable in the afternoons again. This does not apply to the three higher floors which are in the hands of a private owner and have never been signed off as officially finished.

There is only one business currently trading there.

environment, climate change and rural development, Elena Cebrián,has requested more fire engines to be made available in areas at risk of forest fires. For example, in the region of Mount San Miguel de Orihuela there are thousands of trees that have been killed as a result of the bark beetle plague, Tomicus. Although many of the dead pines have been removed many still remain and these are also a potential fire risk.

There are currently two surveillance fire brigades in the Vega Baja and the department has also launched an awareness plan for urban/ forest areas. A priority for protection are the natural parks, including that of the Natural Park of Sierra de Escalona.

In the meantime it is down to local people to be vigilant too in terms of their own practices and those of their neighbours.

Changes to school sports clubs The decision has been taken by the local town hall not to award a contract for the hiring of sports coaches. This will have an impact on the municipal services for school sports including judo, hockey and volleyball. Instead of this this being a council run service in future it will be expected that personal will be employed directly by the sports club involved.

They will still be able to use the town facilities free of charge and students can apply for grants to pay for tuition. The

greatest impact will be felt by the football and basketball clubs. Rowing, gymnastics and athletics will continue normally with the allocation of town hall appointed staff and handball will be 90% funded.

The councillor for sports, Pablo Samper, (above) was called to explain this change in provision, which has been funded in the same way since 2012. He explained that the current contract for the employment of the staff of these sports clubs expires on the 30th September and they have been working on a new draft contract to replace it.

Spain’s jobless claims for June lowest for a decade June was a good month for the Spanish job market. There were 124,349 fewer jobless claims, the biggest drop for a month of June in a decade, bringing the total of people registered as unemployed to 3,767,054, according to Labour Ministry figures. Meanwhile, Social Security affiliations, considered a measure of job creation, rose by 98,432 for a total of 17,760,271 in employment.

The high season for tourism has been driving most of the job market growth, but all sectors of the economy have been posting improved figures. Only education has sustained a drop in Social Security contributors, due to the end of the school year, followed by leisure and entertainment. The hospitality industry added the highest number of new workers (38,337), followed by retail trade (27,936), administrative activities (18,587), manufacturing (14,031) and construction (11,468).

The Guardia Civil in Alicante have arrested five people who are suspected of being involved in human trafficking for sexual exploitation. The group are being charged with several counts of sexual exploitation, belonging to a criminal group and also money laundering.

The gang were operating from Madrid where they forced their victims into prostitution. The investigation into the gang began last February when the Guardia Civil first became aware of the gang who were attracting women with the intention of exploiting them for sexual purposes.

This was a well-organised group and the victims came from Romania and moved to Spain where they were forced into prostitution in clubs, apartments, hotels and even on public roads. The investigation began in Torrevieja but led investigators to the core of the gang which was operating from Madrid.

The group consisted of four men and a woman. The woman was charged with collectingthe money that the victims earned and pasing it on to one of the four men. The gang operated from Montera Street and Plaza Santo Domingo in Madrid.

They arranged appointments for the girls who had no choice as they were threatened with violence. They had no control over the money they earned.

Once the Guardia Civil became aware of what was going on they focused on trying to locate as many of the victims as possible in order to protect them. The victims lived in four homes in Madrid where they were kept securely.

After several months of the complex

investigations a judicial court order was given for searches at the suspected addresses. Along with adverts for their sexual services, address books and phone numbers as well as packets of cocaine were found there. Those arrested were also of Romanian nationality andone Spanish national victim was released along with the Romanian women.

Protection of the victims is now being coordinated by the charity APRAMP (Association for the prevention, rehabilitation and care of prostitute women). Human trafficking continues to be a big issue in Torrevieja with victims brought here on the promise of a better life for themselves only to have their documents removed from them and no alternative but to work for their captors in a number of different ways. Prostitution is just one of them.

Spanish airlines want to scrap passport control at departure gates to speed up operations. Airlines operating in Spain have urged the ministry of transport to scrap the requirement for passengers to show their passports or national ID cards at the departure gates, in order to speed up the boarding process.

They have also called for more human and financial resources to be employed to make searches, checks and general handling quicker, especially at passport control where queues tend to build up in summer.

Spain is one of just four countries within the 26 nations in the Schengen zone along with Italy, Portugal and the Czech Republic - where passports or ID cards have to be shown at the boarding gates, and this slows proceedings down by an average of five minutes even on flights which are not busy.

The Association of Spanish Air Transport Companies (ACETA), which

includes Iberia, Vueling, Air Europa, Evelop, Iberia Express, Air Nostrum and Binter Canarias met with minister for infrastructure, transport and public works this week in light of the Vueling chaos which has seen up to 40 flights a day cancelled and passengers grounded all over Europe.

They were joined by other carriers operating in Spain, including Ryanair, easyJet, Air Berlin and Norwegian.

ACETA members called for more digital fast-track routes through passport control to cut the queues at a time when Spain's airports are operating at full capacity due to the summer tourism influx, one of the country's most vital industries.

Passengers flying into Spain from the UK, however, would still need to show their passports at the boarding gates, and continue to do so when flying from Spain to the UK at passport control before exiting the building, since Britain is not in the passport-free Schengen zone.

Torrevieja population up by 75% In the last ten years, the number of people living in Torrevieja has increased by 75% according to the Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas (IVIE) in collaboration with BBVA. According to their report, the average age has increased from that of 28 in 1900 to 41 due to the decline in birth rate. The survey found that many Spanish towns, similarly, increased their population in spite of the loss of 1.6 million young people in 2012.

Other areas with large increases include Valdemoro and Rivas-Vaciamadrid with a 50% increase and Torrevieja is joined by Roquetas de Mar as having more than a 75% increase during the same ten-year period.

A trend that can be clearly seen is the abandonment of inland areas in favour of coastal areas. A pattern that began in the mid-twentieth century and continues.

A particular feature of the demography in the Alicante area is that of the age of its population. A pattern that the researchers put down to the

The population might be rising in Torrevieja and some other towns but since 2012 it has declined in the country as a whole. It is estimated that there has

million people.

The economic crisis of 2008 is blamed for the variation in population numbers.

During the first decade of this century many immigrants came to Spain, attracted by its growth and climate. This was added to by increased life expectancy. The decline in population since 2012 has seen the heaviest losses amongst those younger than 34 years of age with 1.6 million fewer people in this age group. In particular it is in those aged

been a reduction of 1.6 million young people in the country since 2012,this includes Spanish nationals and foreigners.

The peak of the country’s population was in 2011 when it exceeded more than 46

between 25 and 34 that there has been a decline (1.3 million). However, this drop has been offset by the sharp increase in the older population.

Continued from page 1 abandoned part of town.

Just as the development was near to completion, the recession hit and the expansion of The Marina into a Port, which was to be its main foundation, was cancelled. A hotel was even built at the entrance to Avinguda del Port, but it soon went out of business and was eventually turned into an apartment block.

Unfortunately for the current owners and residents in Sector Sup-7 there are large amounts of private land areas and even some Town Council owned areas which were totally neglected during that harsh economic period – and continue to be abandoned now, deteriorating into refuse dumps and breeding grounds for stray cats.

One resident, Tony, said: “The Mayor and Guardamar Town Council are well aware of the large amount of garbage which has accumulated for years at the mouth of the River Segura. Plans are now being put in place to remove the refuse there including an estimated 1,000 plastic containers. Hopefully they will also soon find the money to clean up the council owned areas within Sector Sup-7.”

“The very large council owned area opposite the MasyMas store is a particular eyesore. How lovely it would be if after a decade of neglect Guardamar Town Council would finally allocate funds and turn this land into a park, modelled on the now completed Parc de les Nyores which is located on the south side of the town.”

Sector Sup-7 has an abundance of empty apartments for sale, so residents agree that it makes no sense to build more apartments.

Therefore however, this means that the private land plots in the area will remain derelict for many years to come, getting worse and worse.

Locals say there is a huge difference in the way the ‘town’ is cared for and invested in, compared to this area. In a nutshell, they believe, South Guardamar has the lovely council owned Parc de les Nyores, with its mosaic tiled walls and in North Guardamar - after 10 years – they still have a huge council owned wasteland opposite MasyMas. They say they would love an official to spend

a day walking around, firstly in the immaculate southern part of Guardamar, then the pristine main town and sea front areas before coming into Sector Sup-7.

Uproar

Tony said: “I am sure they would be shocked, or put it this way if the same amount of rotting fly infested cat food, animal excrement, dog poo bags, weeds, cement and general rubbish were to appear on the walkways and pavements anywhere else in Guardamar there would be uproar.”

Once a year for the last four or five years residents have written to or emailed the Town Hall about the problems in Guardamar's Sector Sup-7, and each time, although they do get a reply, the response is far from satisfactory.

Tony said: “We just get the same explanations as to why it's near on impossible to get these issues resolved, because ‘it's private land and the council cannot get the landowners to clean up their unused areas, the town still has a huge debt and our finances won't stretch or that the stray cat problem is a delicate situation etc’. Never a positive promise of action.”

Residents are now calling on Guardamar Town Hall to legislate the private land owners - through environmental, public health concerns – and order them to, at the very least, clean up these numerous areas.

Benicàssim – back to normal for another year

I

t was a packed field that saw Muse perform at the annual Benicàssim music festival from the 14th to 17th. As far as the eye could see young people were singing and punching the air in unison to a number of Muse favourites. The crowd knew the lyrics and the inventive stage set with stunning visuals and showers of streamers, balloons and confetti made for a spectacular performance.

However, looking at the mass of young people you can’t but be aware of how vulnerable every congregation of humans currently is. Following on from the Bastille day massacre, you can imagine the devastation that a ‘lone wolf’ or terrorist group good wreak on a venue such as this. It was evident on the evening of the 16th July, the highlight of this year’s festival, that there was additional security.

Guardia Civil were patrolling around the ground but were evident in their absence inside. However, the event is smoothly run and there are plenty of personnel at key places to deal with the thousand and one different problems that individuals might have.

However distant the events in France might seem the helicopters and patrol cars are a reminder that no venue is safe.

Outside police cars and vans were patrolling but maintaining a relatively low profile in comparison to what you might

star, proved to be very popular early on in the evening.

This festival isn’t for those who need an early night. Given that it is Spain in the summer, the festival doesn’t open until 7.00pm and continues into the early hours

find in some other European countries.

The question has been asked – why France? But no country is safe.

In the meantime the thousands of young (and not quite so young) people continued to enjoy an interesting line up across four days of loud music, camping and after sun lotion.

of the morning, finally winding down at around 5.00am when the DJ tents close for the ‘evening’.

On Friday the Chemical Brothers were the headline act on the main stage at 2.30am, starting their set with ‘Hey Girl, Hey Boy.’ Saturday it was Muse at a slightly earlier time and the festival concluded with Kendrick Lamar, the American rap artist.

Given that the festival is mostly an evening event, during the day the town of Benicassim is submerged in British tourists, dehydrated and looking for somewhere to eat, drink and cool down if possible. The town has its own attractive beaches and many young people use this as somewhere to sleep off the night before and re-stock ready

The line up Starting from Thursday evening the line up included a number of internationally well-known artists playing different types of music including rap, rock, electronic dance and hip hop.

Two stages and a number of DJ tents meant that festival goers could choose their music. Thursday Major Lazer was the main attraction but Skepta, an English rap

for another evening of partying.

Clearing up Now the festival is over for another year there is not much more to do but the clearing up. Thousands of plastic cups and

bottles litter the ground after every performance. No doubt locals will be relieved to have their bus service returned to normal and bars with space to sit down.

Throughout the four days there are crocodile lines of young British people walking between the camp site and the show ground. By the 18th July, with the festival over, this popular little Spanish seaside town will be able to reduce again to its usual level of tourist population.

In the meantime those responsible for organising the event will be able to heave a sigh of relief that it’s all, by and large, passed smoothly and the precautions they have taken were sufficient to secure the safety of those flocking to Benicàssim this year.

French authorities withdrew police vans blocking off the promenade in Nice just hours before a 19-ton truck crushed at least 84 people to death in an Islamist terrorist attack, it has emerged. The disclosure raises serious questions over the security for the 30,000 people who had gathered on the Promenade des Anglais for the Bastille Day fireworks.

Just 60 officers were on duty, despite France being on heightened alert and concern that Nice was a likely target for attack because of the large number of jihadists from the city who had already travelled to Syria.

Four police vans that had blocked off the Promenade des Anglais to protect a military parade earlier in the day were removed before the attack, which took place late on Thursday evening.

In a pessimistic interview with the Journal du Dimanche, Manual Valls, the French Prime Minister, has warned that terrorism will be a part of the country's daily life for a long time.

“The terrorism threat is will be a fundamental and enduring problem and other lives will be wrecked,” he said.

On Saturday, the self-styled Isil claimed responsibility for the attack. It said that Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel “carried out the operation in response to calls to target nationals of states fighting Islamic State”. French authorities said they were checking the claim.

Isil claimed responsibility for the attack through an Islamic State-run media outlet saying the man who drove his truck into a crowd in the French coastal city of Nice is a

‘soldier’ of the group.

Police are trying to piece together Bouhlel’s terror network as they questioned five suspected associates after raids across Nice.

The French interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, said the attacker “appears to have become radicalised very quickly”. One neighbour of his estranged wife said: “Mohamed only started visiting a mosque in April.”

Bouhlel, who had a history of violence and mental health problems, had walked into a van rental office and said: “I want the heaviest truck you have.” He had also sent £82,000 to his family in Tunisia, suggesting a well planned suicide mission.

Horror Politicians from around the world reacted with horror after news of the attack spread across the globe...

- Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy evoked “the pain of all good people, who are potential victims of barbarism, folly and the greatest contempt for human life.”

- A spokesman for new British Prime Minister Theresa May called the attack ‘a terrible incident’, adding “we are shocked and concerned”.

- Boris Johnson, whose first

Orihuela in silence

engagement as Britain's new foreign secretary was at the French ambassador's Bastille Day party in London, said on Twitter: “Shocked and saddened by the appalling events in Nice, and the terrible loss of life.”

- US President Barack Obama condemned what he said appeared to be a ‘horrific terrorist attack’.

“We stand in solidarity and partnership with France, our oldest ally, as they respond to and recover from this attack,” he said in a statement. “On this Bastille Day, we are reminded of the extraordinary resilience and democratic values that have made France an inspiration to the entire world.”

Germany “stands alongside France in the fight against terrorism,” Chancellor Angela Merkel said, adding that “words can barely express” what France's allies felt - The United Nations Security Council called the attack “barbaric and cowardly.”

Several cities across the world paid tribute to the victims of the attack and Spain was no different.

Locally, in Orihuela The Town Hall held an official three-minute silence as a mark of solidarity.

Sierra clean up “Since I have taken over as Councillor a year ago, the department has repeatedly requested meetings to discuss the issue of dry pine because the state of the Sierra is a high risk of fire that would produce major damage and which we want to prevent.”

The Councillor for the Environment of Orihuela, Miguel Angel Fernandez, has made a plea to the Regional Minister for this area, Elena Cebrían to acknowledge the city’s requests for support and to visit Orihuela in order to see first-hand its environmental issues. This includes dry pine in the Sierra de San Miguel, which is a fire risk as well as a condition that is detrimental to the general environment.

The Councillor said: “Since I have taken over as Councillor a year ago, the department has repeatedly requested meetings to discuss the issue of dry pine because the state of the Sierra is a high risk of fire that would produce major damage and which we want to prevent.”

In addition, the Councillor expressed his willingness to collaborate “on all issues

regarding Orihuela and in which the Ministry has to take a step forward, as in the case of what is to be done with pines that are not so affected, or the Sierra Escalona and the preparation of the documents necessary for environmental assessment.”

The local environmental head appealed for inter-governmental collaboration to find a solution to the problems the local area is facing and to prevent all possible irreversible damage before it’s too late. However, he said that in order to do this it is necessary that the ‘consellera’ sees firsthand the situation of each outstanding issue between Orihuela Town Hall and the Ministry in order to make decisions.

Torrevieja teams up to reduce unemployment The mayors of Torrevieja, Pilar de la Horadada and Guardamar del Segura have signed an agreement which will see the three towns working together to provide quality jobs and attract sustainable tourism.

The intention is to apply for European funding to bring much needed yearround work to the region. Councillor Victor Ferrández said; ‘the ulimate aim is the creation of quality employment, with job creation for those sectors that need it most including women, young people and those over 45 years of age.’

The agreement is focussed on achieving grants and subsidies for a number of innovative projects. The projects will prioritise equal opportunities, sustainable development and environmental conservation.

Working together, the three towns aims to develop business capacity in the region as well as creating an infrastructure that supports research, development and innovation.

They hope to see an increase in the generation of ideas and an entrepreneurial culture.

Tourism promotion will focus on year round initiaitives to draw people towards the coastline. This includes gastronomic, cultural, commercial, sports and nature tourism. Working together they hope to create their own ‘brand’ to draw people to the area.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE After a hesitant start last Friday the euro headed mostly higher against the US dollar. It was initially hampered by some unusually punchy US employment data which indicated the creation of 287k new jobs in June. However, the balancing factor was a downward revision to the previous month's data, such that only 11k new jobs appeared. Investors decided the net result was not strong enough to encourage any early interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve so they became less enthusiastic about the dollar.

There were no economic statistics of any consequence from. Arguably the most important ones were -1.8% decline in German exports during May, the -1.2% fall in Euroland industrial production for the same month and euro zone inflation, which was steady at 0.1%.

A couple of minor ecostats are worthy of mention. It was heartening to see the 2.9% annual rise in Greek industrial production eclipse the 0.5% increase for the euro zone as a whole. And it was hilarious to read that Ireland's gross domestic product expanded by 26.3% in 2015. Even if the figure is statistically correct it - and they insist it is - it is a gross misrepresentation of what was really going on.

UK economic data were as rare as hens' teeth too, not that anyone cared much about them with Brexit hogging the headlines.

Britain's trade deficit was smaller than expected in May. The British Retail Consortium's Retail Sales Monitor showed sales in June to be down by -0.5% on the same month last year. The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors' Housing Price Balance came in at +16, its weakest reading since the beginning of last year. The RICS blamed a "marked drop" in housing market

activity on the uncertainty surrounding the EU referendum.

While not much was happening in Euroland and the United States there was high excitement in Britain. The withdrawal of one of the final two candidates from the Conservative Party leadership contest left Theresa May with an unobstructed path to Downing Street and on Wednesday she took over the job of prime minister, two months sooner than expected.

Given investors' invariable preference for certainty over uncertainty, the formation of a new government was reassuringly helpful to the pound.

A day later the Bank of England did not cut its benchmark Bank Rate from 0.5% to 0.25%.

That would not have mattered had many analysts not predicted - and many more investors positioned for - such a move. When it was announced the pound jumped a cent higher against the euro and the move was extended into Friday morning.

Overall, then, it was the best week that sterling has enjoyed for a while. It strengthened by nearly four euro cents and was up by an average of 3.5% against the other dozen most actively-traded currencies. The euro was up by almost half a cent against the US dollar.

Coming up later today are the US data for inflation and retail sales and the Bank of England governor will be making an appearance. Next week's highlights will be the data for UK inflation and retail sales and Thursday's European Central Bank press conference, at which the Governing Council's latest monetary policy decision will be discussed.

Tax hike on horizon Spain is proposing a tax hike in order to dodge the EU deficit fine. Spain's acting Economy Minister Luis de Guindos has proposed hiking corporate taxes to avoid a fine from the European Commission for repeatedly failing to bring government deficits into line.

“We are going to propose a measure regarding corporate taxes” that will raise six billion euros ($6.6 billion), he told a televised news conference in Brussels after eurozone finance ministers agreed to officially begin a sanctions procedure against Spain and Portugal.

turned a corner and was posting steady growth after being hit hard by the eurozone debt crisis.

‘It would be a huge paradox is the European economy which has had the biggest turnaround in recent years and which is growing the most and creating the most jobs...were to be fined,’ he said.

Spain in 2015 reported a deficit of 5.1 percent of GDP, still way off the target of 4.2 percent set by the commission and the official limit but way down from 9.07 percent in 2011. The government has vowed to bring the deficit below an EU-limit of 3.0 percent of GDP

The two countries now have 10 days to lobby the EU to impose no penalty.

The European Commission, the EU's executive arm, will consider their arguments and must decide on sanctions within 20 days. Under EU rules, the commission could impose fines of up to 0.2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) on eurozone countries that repeatedly ignore the deficit limits -- but to date it has not dared to use its full power.

In Spain's case the maximum fine could amount to nearly 2.2 billion euros, based on its 2015 GDP as reported by the EU statistics agency Eurostat.

De Guindos reiterated that he was ‘convinced’ that Spain would avoid a fine because its economy had

next year, a year later than it initially forecast.

Spain has been governed by a caretaker government with limited powers since an inconclusive December election. De Guindos' conservative Popular Party (PP) won a repeat general election on 26th June, boosting its number of seats in parliament, but still fell short of an absolute majority. It is currently in talks with other parties to try to form a government.

The PP had campaigned for last month's repeat polls on promises to lower taxes while reducing the public deficit at the same time. The Spanish economy, the eurozone's fourth largest, expanded by 3.2 percent last year and the government predicts it will grow by over 3.0 percent this year.

Living close to the pine woods, squirrels are part of my everyday life. Tree squirrels are really cute - in fact some of their antics can be downright adorable. That said however, these pesky critters can rip bark off trees, dig up plants and bulbs, and ransack outdoor bird feeders. your planter beds, pots and trees.

Tricks that do not work as well

T

he thing about squirrels is that they are terribly curious, and always on the lookout for food - they think our newly planted beds and pots might well contain something they like to eat (like seeds, and bulbs), and that is what they are checking out.

So how do you keep them out of your garden and planter beds? Now there are many things you can do, but there are only a few that consistently work.

Let us go over the best ways to keep squirrels out of your planter beds, pots, bird feeders and to stop them from shredding your tree bark.

Keep squirrels away from tree bark Wrap 24-inch (60 cm) wide aluminium flashing around the base of tree trunks to prevent squirrels from shredding the bark. It is easy to shape and work with and can be purchased in most hardware shops (Ferreterias).

Use aluminium or stainless steel nails or screws to attach the metal to the trunk. Do not worry about using a nail, because something the size of a nail hammered into a tree will not hurt it. The nail would most likely be inserted about 1 inch (2.5 cm) into the bark.

The tree should compartmentalize and heal the wound around it just fine.

3 best tricks to keep squirrels out of garden beds and pots 1. Wire mesh This is the best method. Use strong, tightly woven wire mesh weighted

down with bricks, till the new planting has settled down especially if you have planted bulbs.

Remove the mesh when the seeds or bulbs start to grow. Squirrels only seem to be interested in newly planted things - once they have been there a while and settled, they lose interest.

2. Give squirrels water This works really well too. Keep in mind that squirrels eat things in the garden many times because they are thirsty. Keep a couple of bird baths full of water for them.

3. Make a decoy You can also set up a feeder away from the area you want left alone and fill it with nuts and seeds. They will eat that, and stay away from

African Pygmy squirrel

1. Chicken wire or plastic mesh does not work as well because if the squirrels really want to get at the pots and beds, they will move it or gnaw through it.

2. Mothballs do not seem to make much difference. They may work for a day or two, but then they need to be replenished.

3. Motion detection sprinklers give off a sudden burst of water and will frighten them, but only temporarily.

4. Ground chilli peppers, black or cayenne pepper - some squirrels can get used to this and will eat through it. So it is a temporary measure.

5. Fake snakes/hoses, marigolds, hair, predator urine, cats, pin wheels, coffee grounds, and soap are all things that usually do not work or work only on a very temporary basis.

Keep squirrels out of your bird feeder Use a squirrel-proof bird feeder.

These feeders have cone shaped covers so squirrels cannot slide down the wire to reach the seed. There are also many feeders that spin and throw the squirrels off.

Use a lubricant. If your bird feeder is

on a pole, use grease on the pole - the squirrels cannot climb up it.

Fun squirrel facts: Whether these little furry critters are your friend or your foe, here are some fascinating facts: 1. There are more than 365 species of squirrels in the world and 40% of all the mammals in the world are in the squirrel family.

2. The smallest squirrel is the African Pygmy. They are 5 inches (12,5 cm) long from their heads to the tip of their tails. They are found in Nigeria, Cameroon and Gabon.

3. The largest squirrel is the Ratufa. It can be as long as 3 feet (90 cm) in length. This beauty is found in Asia and Nepal.

4. Squirrels have been known to live as long as 20 years in captivity. In the wild however, many squirrels do not make it up to the ten year mark due to traffic and natural predators.

5. Squirrels are smart! The squirrel has a brain about the size of a walnut, which is pretty big considered its overall size.

6. The oldest known squirrel skeleton is over 50 million years old.

7. President Ronald

Reagan loved the squirrels at the White House so much that he commissioned an artist to paint a squirrel running across the White House lawn for the Presidential Christmas Card.

8. It is one of very few wild animals that have adapted to humans and learned to coexist with man. It can live on both natural foods and hand outs.

9. Squirrels can become quite tame and are known to steal fruit and nuts from homes if they find a window or door open.

As you can see, these little creatures have been a part of our world for a long time and being the adaptable animals they are, will surely survive well into the future. So we must learn to live with them, laugh at them and love them for what they are!

Now I know why ‘the lads’ act the goat Have you ever noticed how something can be staring you straight in the face, but you fail to see it until someone points it out to you? Then you go, ‘of course … that’s it … it’s as clear as daylight now.’ I had one such ‘how could I not have seen it’ last week, after reading of the latest earth-shattering discovery by a team of scientists at Queen Mary University of London. Led by Doctor Christian Nawroth and Doctor Alan McElligott, the research team announced its findings to a gape-mouthed world audience.

Read on, please…

In simple language, it comes down to the fact that the animal we always believed to be man’s best friend – namely the faithful oul dog, has been replaced by the goat. I kid you not. Breaking news is that no animal can form a greater emotional human bond than Billy or Nelly. The research conducted at the university means that you may never again have to buy a dog licence.

I have been thinking about the changes we will all have to

implement around the house and garden to accommodate our new best friend. Where heretofore a bit of a bone kept Rover satisfied down at the bottom of the yard, things will never be the same again after the goat’s promotion. The goat believes he has an entitlement to devour any plant, herb and flower around the yard. He will remove every geranium and petunia from the windowsill and finish off by digesting your undies from the clothes-line. As man’s newly discovered best friend, this is his right – it is only right that we share what we have.

The goat is one of ourselves – and all the signs were there already. Just think about it. The researchers didn’t mention it in their findings, but I can only assume that this bond is the reason that so many young lads are always acting the goat?

More about this emotional bond between the goat and ourselves.

The more I think about it, the more convinced I become that they got it spot on at Queen Mary University.

The goat thinks along the same lines as mankind and is definitely one of our own. We have been bonding for

10,000 years and this accounts for such stunning understanding between man and our number one animal. The latest experiment, documented in ‘Biological Letters’ showed that goats will gaze imploringly into your face while sharing a task. The researchers mistook this look for one of the goat trying to please, when in actual fact I believe that the cunning, sidestepping rogue-animal is in reality figuring out how to pull the wool over your eyes. I know that look well – and it is identical to the smoothtalking con-man searching for an opening to do you out of some money.

Perfect example of comparison coming up…

How many breeds of animals will actually set out to double-cross their own fellow-animal? No, I am not talking about two-legged animals who behave in this manner as a matter of course. What about four-legged animals? There is only one – the goat: The ‘Judas Goat’.

The Judas Goat literally leads lambs to their slaughter. Sheep are not the smartest of animals and this friendly goat in their midst seems to

Charity donation An impressive 571 euros has been raised by “Café – Bar Almoradi” in the centre of the town for local charity Paul Cunningham Nurses.

Local residents enjoyed a tasty meal provided by the bar's “singing chef” Chas and bar owner Maria, who organised the event, certainly had a room full of very happy diners. Money was raised through the sale of tickets for the event and a prize raffle, through which Dot Patience, won a Bistro Night meal for two people, generously donated by “Cafe-Bar Almoradi”.

Guests were also treated to Chas’s renditions of several golden oldies and took part in “Play Your Cards Right”. The next event will be held on Tuesday 2nd August, starting at 2pm. The price is 7.95 euros and tickets are available by phoning: 651 540 017, or calling into the bar at Calle Donadores 4, Almoradi.

Two euros from each ticket sold goes directly to the charity. Bar owner Maria said: “I am delighted to be

able to help raise funds for such a worthy cause, because you never know when you or a loved one may need its services.”

Paul Cunningham nurses provides high quality care in the community to patients with a terminal prognosis in their own home, free of charge. The charity relies solely on donations from the local community to continue this vital service.

Its charity shop in Calle Espana, 28, Almoradi, which is run by volunteers, is in need of good quality furniture, clothes, unwanted gifts and bric-a-brac and is open Monday to Saturday from 9:30am to 1:30pm.

If you would like to volunteer as a shop helper, please call in and have an informal discussion with one of the friendly team. For more information about the work of the Paul Cunningham Nurses, please ring the office on 966 790 363.

City workers get protection from the heat The Department of Human Resources has taken a series of protective measures with the municipal brigades in order to minimise the effects of heat on workers during the summer months.

The Councillor responsible for the department, Rafael Almagro, explained that it is those who work on the municipal crews who suffer most during the high temperatures because their work consists of mainly outdoor tasks.

The Councillor said that workers have been instructed to avoid the most extreme midday temperatures and therefore reduce the adverse effects it could have on municipal employees.

Therefore, from now until 30th September work crews for infrastructure, sports, festivals and signage will begin their work day at 7.00am, complying with the rules on occupational health and safety.

Moreover, the head of Human Resources said the department has provided municipal employees with items to help with the prevention of heat stroke such as caps made of highly breathable cotton, protective eye goggles with UV filter and a sunscreen with a 50+ factor. They have also been provided with practical notes on heatstroke prevention including tips on hydration and breaks in the shade every 30 minutes.

them to know what he is doing. Oh, he knows what he is doing alright.

The smell of blood and fear would make it extremely difficult to drive the sheep into the abattoir and so the goat is trained to lead them into the pen and down the chute. Then just before the guillotine, there is an opening just big enough for the goat to slip out and enjoy some tasty morsels – his ‘thirty pieces of silver.’

The Judas Goat is also employed in stockyards where he is used to lead cattle to pens or trucks. In Australia the ‘Judas’ is the main playmaker in ridding the countryside of wild goats. He is tagged with a radio transmitter and turned loose out in the wilds. Like humans, the goat needs a companion or companions to live with. Therefore, the wild goats will gravitate towards one of their own and soon they make their own little herd. The herd is then easily located through ‘Judas’ ‘carrying a wire.’

Marksmen with rifles and shot-guns wait until the traitor leads the other goats down into the valley and the wild goats are all wiped out. But as soon as the first shot is fired in the air, which is a signal for Judas; the goat springs from the pack, and watches the slaughter whilst enjoying his reward behind the firing squad.

Oh, the goat is one of us alright …!

Welcome to TEGUCIGALPA with Vivalia Travel Riga has become an increasingly popular destination for Europeans drawn by its old town, its historical importance, and its reputation as having one of the most sparkling nightlife scenes in Europe.

Tegucigalpa is the capital of and largest city in Honduras.

It´s a great example of Central American urban sprawl gone amok, spread out across very hilly terrain.

Of course, the city, a 400 year-old mining center, has a depth that is there for those with time and nerve to find it.

It has a plethora of interesting, if decaying, old colonial

busy (though likely busier on weekends). To get to the park if you don't have a car, you can take the rapidito bus that passes the park on the way to El Hatillo.

National Zoo is on the same hill as the Picacho statue, with tropical animals such as monkeys, bright-colored parrots, and others. The zoo has a variety of monkeys,

surprise to the tourist who isn't aware that Tegucigalpa has older, Colonial-era attractions as well.

Also, you can enjoy shopping in The MallMultiplaza. It´s a two-story, top-of-the-line mall, just like you would find in any of the biggest cities in the United States.

Overpriced and somewhat opulent, but a nice place.

buildings, and many old stone streets winding intriguingly up steep hills to hidden parks, stone steps and old houses.

SEE AND DO There are a lot interesting places to see in the city. You can visit Parque La Leona, an old neighbourhood in the center of Tegus, overlooking the central park. It is a bit of a labyrinth to make your way up the old steep windy streets to arrive at parque La Leona, but it is a nice park, with a beautiful view, and a relaxed atmosphere. If walking, if you start facing the front door of the basilica in the central park, head to your left, and just keep walking up hill, and you will almost certainly hit the park as long as you continue upwards.

Parque El Picacho, that is a park overlooking the city which takes its name from the huge statue of Jesus Christ, also called "Cristo el Picacho", which is visible from almost any point in the city. The views from the park are gorgeous.

The park is well maintained, clean, and seemingly not very

crocodiles, a jaguar, tapirs (anteaters), snakes, a collection of various raptors, and others.

St. Michael's Cathedral, Los Dolores Church, and San Francisco Church. These are all old Catholic churches well worth visiting, and La Merced and the Basilica de Suyapa are really good, too. While not up to the level of a place like Cartagena, Colombia, such older churches are a nice

Tegucigalpa has a variety of American food restaurants. All follow "home office" food preparation procedures and travelers can eat at them without fear of getting sick.

The food court of Multiplaza will do for on-the-go meals.

On the other hand, you can find Argentinian restaurants, typical Honduran food and international food as French or Italian food.

In addition, in Honduras, empty beer bottles are left on the tables until the bill is paid, so you can get a very quick visual indication of where cooler heads will prevail and where tempers may rise just by looking.

The local hootch, known as "guaro" presumably deriving from "aguardiente" (fire water), comes in two brands, Tatascan and Yuscaran. This is cheap, strong cane liquor, the choice selection of drunks in Honduras.

Difficult times at APAH Summer is always a difficult time for charities because many volunteers leave Spain and return when the weather cools down, and APAH is no exception.

This means that the charity is seriously struggling to care for the dogs in their kennels because of a serious shortage of helpers.

CostaBlancaPeople July 19th - 25th 2016

Digital footprint warning A

Reluctantly they have had to make the decision not to accept any more dogs and cats for the foreseeable future. It isn't a lack of funds or space that has caused this, but a lack of helpers.

With this in mind, APAH is appealing to the public for volunteers to help them carry on.

APAH is urgently seeking people who can give a couple of hours of their free time either in the morning or the evening.

It would make a huge difference to the few people who are left trying to cope.

They can contact APAH on 630 422 563, 616 210 850 or 966 766 555 (Charity Shop in Pilar de la Horadada 10.00 - 13.30 Mon - Fri)

National Police technology expert has warned about the extent of net users' digital footprint, claiming 96 percent of personal data is somewhere on the ‘deep web’. National Police Technology Inspection Unit head Silvia Barrera has warned about just how much of our lives we leave wide-open to the general public on the internet.

She said: “If, one day, we woke up and didn't know who we were or anything about our own past, thanks to our ‘virtual footprint’ we would be able to find out everything about.

“We are what we advertise about ourselves, and as a consequence, that's how we sell ourselves we're gradually exposing more and more of ourselves; want to be more and more hip and cool on social networks, upload more posts and, at times, forget about our private selves.”

An average internet or mobile phone user gives ‘consent to publish’ to 192 applications and social networks - data that is sometimes confidential information.

“Perhaps in Facebook you only broadcast your happy moments and not necessarily critical information, but then you have LinkedIn, which is a personal information forum where you put real information about yourself; then there are bank details we log with online trading sites or applications.

“You should bear in mind how many of these services are interlinked: if someone gains access, for example, to your Gmail account, they will also be gaining access to far more than just your emails; they will be able to get into all services and applications linked to it including Google Calendar, Drive, YouTube, Amazon and so on; they can find out where you've been, what hardware you use...”

She recalls that everyone who uses the internet leaves an IP address, connection data and even an email address behind them.

“We leave a great deal of information with service providers - and at the end of the day, all our information is in the hands of third parties, in the hands of companies you have no option but to trust because they are guardians of our internet security.”

During a recent presentation on internet users’ ‘virtual footprint’, Silvia Barrera showed an eyeopening amount of data about the fictitious character Jason Bourne - and then said this was only 4 percent of the information about him out there on the web.

“The remaining 96 percent is in the ‘deep web’, or ‘hidden internet’ which is not indexed by legitimate search engines, meaning that using certain ‘dark web’ search engines such as those on The Onion Route, you can find out even more about a person,” the policewoman explains.

All this information online offers a multitude of advantages, Barrera assures but it also carries serious risks, since third parties can lay their hands on it and use it to malicious ends.

"Through these data, they can find out who we are, what our names our, where we live, what we post online and everything about our personal surroundings," she cautions.

This makes it easier for malware - Trojans that infect a computer and allow hackers to enter and gain information via weak points in the network - to affect users. Malware

www.costablancapeople.com

takes advantage of Achilles' heels which all personal and business systems suffer from, such as insecure passwords which are easy to decipher.

‘Social engineering’, for example, involves directly attacking a company using employee information online, and the amount of data about internet users in the 'deep web' makes it easier for this practice to take place.

Alarm

There is no reason for unnecessary alarm though.

Although all these dangers do exist, there's no need to panic - just to be aware that you may be gradually becoming more and more exposed.

Just using reasonable security measures is enough to protect yourself; keep your applications and systems updated, never leave log-in pages open on a computer that is not yours, don't post photos of your children where they might be susceptible to use by others, and surf the Barrera says online exposure problems are mainly due to five factors - users forgetting not to share information they would not want strangers to know about, given that they cannot be aware of exactly who is able to access it; that there is no such thing as a 'secret' exchange of chat messages, even in so-called 'encrypted' apps such as WhatsApp or Telegram, meaning that as soon as we post something on these, it is out of our control; anonymity on the internet does not exist; 100 percent online security does not exist either there is no such thing as an infallible anti-virus programme, and the information users leave 'out there' is in the hands of legitimate service providers; and users are forgetting that if they find their data are compromised, they should not take matters into their own hands but contact security forces, institutions and network providers.

Boris gets a Spanish ally Boris Johnson has been mocked across Europe for his previous comments, but an unlikely ally has emerged from the wellknown Gibraltar hater, the Spanish foreign minister. José Manuel García-Margallo has congratulated Boris Johnson saying the new British PM, Theresa May, has been very intelligent two ministers who favour Brexit in the Foreign Ministry, the new minister Boris Johnson and the Secretary of State for leaving the EU, David Davis, two of the most critical in the European block of the Conservative Party.

García-Margallo said he had sent a

CostaBlancaPeople July 19th - 25th 2016

telegram to Boris Johnson to congratulate him and shortly he will phone him to demonstrate the cordiality which should preside over the relationship between Great Britain and Spain. He hoped a meeting can take place before the summer with his British counterpart, ‘to put on the table the subjects which matter to both countries as a consequence of the decision made by the British people. The minister notes his acting Government’s position on Brexit was disappointment and hopes the divorce between London and Brussels will bring a new framework of relationship, ‘to stabilise the situation as soon as possible’.

Rajoy stays coy about plans to make new leadership bid

Two back-to-back national elections have come and gone, yet most parties refuse to budge from their positions, making it possible for Spaniards to have to go to the polls for a record third time.

Mariano Rajoy, who has been in charge of a caretaker administration ever since the original election of 20 December, is widely expected to stand for reinstatement. Last Wednesday, for the first time, he openly expressed his intention to put himself to a parliamentary vote if King Felipe VI, following legal procedures, formally asks him to try to form a government.

“I have an interest in going to the investiture if His Majesty the King considers it convenient,” said Rajoy, whose Popular Party (PP) earned 137 seats at the election June 26, up from December but still short of the 176 required for a parliamentary majority.

But later that same day, after spending 80 minutes with Socialist Party (PSOE) leader Pedro Sánchez, Rajoy introduced elements of doubt

into his earlier statement: “I have an interest in going and I have an interest in governing. I don’t know whether the others have an interest. I do. But if I had the certainty that it is impossible for me to get voted in, then I would open up a period of reflection and wonder how we are going to find a way out of this.”

If parties once again fail to reach governing deals – or at least secure the promise of an abstention that would enable a candidate to become prime minister in either the first round of the investiture vote or in a run-off – then Spain will be facing the very real possibility of a third national election.

Rajoy said he wants to avoid such a scenario at all costs, because it would be “an absurdity.” He said he would like for Spain’s new executive to be up and running by late July or early August, in order to start working on pressing issues such as the 2017 budget.

But so far, the main opposition Socialists, who have 85 seats in Congress, insists that they will vote

against Rajoy if he bids for the post.

Walking out of his meeting with Sánchez, Rajoy said that “the essential thing is that he told me he will vote no, and for us to seek agreements with other political forces more similar to ourselves.”

Pedro Sánchez, who himself bid for the prime ministerial position after the first election and was voted down by other forces, held a press conference of his own after his meeting with Rajoy and insisted that the latter may not count on the PSOE to help him into office.

Some Socialist voices have quietly been suggesting the need for an abstention in order to let the PP form a minority government and pull Spain out of the months-long political deadlock. But so far, Sánchez is not convinced.

Meanwhile, the emerging forces Unidos Podemos (71 seats) and Ciudadanos (32) are doing their own math, and putting pressure on Sánchez to break the impasse.

It now makes more financial sense to acquire a Golden Leaves Funeral Plan Golden Leaves International Limited has announced that the company is running a special discount offer on its funeral plans for the months of July and August 2016 only.

Over these two months, Golden Leaves’ customers can take advantage of either a £100 or €100 discount on each plan purchased, making them more affordable than they have ever been in the past.

But the benefits don’t stop there - as part of this special offer, Golden Leaves International has also announced that they are to stop charging interest on all instalment plans, making the payment options even more affordable too.

Barry Floyd, Managing Director at Golden Leaves International Limited said, “As a company that has been at the forefront of the market for over 30 years now, we believe that when it comes to Prepaid Funeral Plans, ours offer

some of the most outstanding benefits. And now we have added even more to that equation.”

“To thank customers for putting their faith in us, we believe that it is only right to give something in return. In this instance, it’s making our plans more affordable by putting money back into our customers’ pockets. So not only have we discounted our plans for July and August, we’ve also decided to waiver any additional administration fees and made sure that conveyance is included on the mainland of Spain.”

Incredibly, as part of this special offer, Golden Leaves International has also announced that they will ensure that dual country cover and global portability are also included as a benefit of all plans sold during this limited period.

Plus, for further peace of mind, those purchasing a plan

will know that because their money is placed in a secure Trust Fund that’s independently and annually scrutinized, that the money required for their funeral of choice will be there when the time does come.

And with more and more branches opening all along the Spanish coast due to public demand, it will be even easier for people to acquire the plan that suits their needs, at a price that suits their pocket.

Orihuela launches summer safety campaign The City Council is launching a safety campaign aimed at the beaches of Orihuela Costa to prevent hawking. The Councillor for Citizen Security, Mariola Rocamora, and the Councillor for Tourism, Sofia Alvarez, along with the Councillor for Health, Noelia Grao, have presented a

outlined in a brochure which is written in Castilian, English and German.

Mariola Racamora said: “We hope to educate residents, tourists and beach-goers, about the dangers of these practices that increase during the summer months and are not

campaign entitled ‘Do not be an accomplice’.

The initiative aims to warn local residents and holidaymakers of the risks of buying products from beach vendors that are not approved. They are particularly concerned with the consumption of fruit and drinks being sold without sanitary control and the hurt and damage that can be done to people who pay for a massage given by un-trained, nonprofessionals.

The perils of these issues are

regulated, making them illegal.”

The brochure will be distributed in public areas, shops, bars and at the Town Hall.

The Councillor for Citizen Safety explained that in addition to public information, the Local Government is intensifying surveillance checks across all beaches which is “essential to coordinate effective eradication of hawking and to discourage this illegal practice”. This will be achieved through adding more local police patrols, which additional summer officers

patrolling on foot and on bicycles. This additional service began from Monday 4th July.

Meanwhile, Councillor Sophia Alvarez stressed “the importance of such awareness campaigns so that we can make people aware of the real risks, how they can be avoided, and above all to know that these sales are not regulated and offer no consumer proctection”.

In addition, the three Councillors have held meetings in recent months with teams from several different surrounding areas, including the municipalities of Pilar de la Horadada and San Pedro del Pinatar and Torrevieja and these meeting have led to the inception of this initiative.

The Councillor for Health, Noelia Grao, raised another key concern with hawking on beaches, which is eye damage.

People need to beware that sunglasses that are sold on the beaches offer no level of protection. Many hawkers stick false protection stickers on to the lenses that are simply coloured plastic. Therefore, these sunglasses do not protect people’s vision. “Is saving a few euros on sunglasses worth damaging your sight?” she asked.

Seagate Wealth Management and Bowls – A Winning Combination Well it has been a busy summer for us at Seagate proudly sponsoring events at local bowls clubs. We started back in February with a Valentine’s weekend of competition held at San Miguel Bowls

Club. The club was formed in 1989, making it one of the oldest clubs on the Costa Blanca. It is located in Eagle’s Nest adjacent to the Cheers Bar. This proved very useful for providing refreshments throughout the two days. Despite the blustery conditions, turnout was good and we made a number of good friends.

More on that a little later.

The highlight of the summer for bowlers was the Spanish National Championships, held over two weeks in May at the wonderful Emerald Isle Bowls Club. This club has 8 rinks and as it is

located within the Emerald Isle complex, there was never a chance of going hungry or thirsty. So thanks to the hard-working guys behind the bar, who even managed to find Earl Grey tea for me. The competition was played in near perfect conditions and the standard of bowling was very impressive. This coming from someone who knew nothing about the sport and was captured by the spirit and fun of it.

We received a great welcome and more friends were made. We even had some interest from some members regarding our services. It just goes to show what a sociable and knowledgeable bunch these bowlers are!

Back to our San Miguel friends, and how exciting that their ladies won both the Ladies Pairs and the Ladies

Singles. Well done ladies – you know who you are. The National Director, Bob Donnelly was superb in the organisation of the event and even let me present the prizes to the winners of the men’s Pairs.

Fortunately, I was wearing blue so matched perfectly with the winning team from San Luis.

If you want a new hobby, keep fit (not compulsory) and meet new people, then I can thoroughly recommend you to take up bowling. All clubs welcome everyone from the most experienced to the complete novice and I know both San Miguel and the Emerald Isle Bowls clubs offer tuition and the loan of shoes and woods, so you can try before you buy any kit. You can pop along to either the Emerald Isle on a Saturday morning for tuition, or San Miguel on a Wednesday afternoon to try for yourselves. All clubs host lots of social events and luckily for us, invite us along so we can chat to people about the services that we offer.

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.

Seagate provides Independent Financial Advice working with a number of regulated companies offering a comprehensive range of services. However, we are very different to your typical Financial Adviser.

By getting to know each client individually, your Seagate adviser can fully understand your situation and this allows us to provide the best Financial Advice, not just for today, but forever. We believe our success is a result of two fundamental principles: the strength of the relationship between our advisers and

their clients and our distinctive approach to investment advice. If you want free Independent Financial Advice, then call us on 965 704 338.

If you are a bowler and think your club would benefit from working with Seagate, just drop me an email Lorraine.Howard@seagatewealth.es

How long has your home been for sale?

Rebecca Serwotka – Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada.

If you feel the answer to this question is "too long" then you, as a motivated seller, should be working closer together with your Agent to help move this process along. You are a bigger influence in your own sale than you may think.

Are you tired of hearing the negativity of what's associated with the word Brexit? I know I am, but with the right mindset you can choose to use it in a positive way to help achieve a sale quicker, and here’s how...

If your home is currently on the market and your plans are to take the proceeds of the sale back to the UK, then this is your ideal opportunity to take advantage of the exchange rate and reduce your asking price.

Lowering a price is always a difficult topic for any Agent to bring up with their seller as they're the ones

that should have guided you on the asking price in the first place but let's face it, we're all on this roller coaster of a journey together and with a constantly evolving property market why not take this opportunity as a positive on helping to achieve a sale sooner rather than later.

If you're unsure of what the difference in price could mean to you, go speak to your Agent for advice or contact a currency company like MoneyCorp.

Here is an example of how it can have a positive effect on your pricing:If your property was on the market for €100,000 at an original exchange rate of 1.28/£ Converting the €100,000 back into Sterling would be £78,125. Now for the positive - thanks to Brexit, with an exchange rate of 1.15/£ this would mean you would be getting £86,956. Therefore you could reduce your Euro asking price to €90,000 and still come out with the same Sterling.

Therefore by reducing your asking price, you can still achieve a great result but without it having much effect on your bottom line.

Now who's the savvy property seller? You are!

We aren't letting Brexit determine our success and neither should you.

Maura Hillen,homeowners’ Eurostat notes greatest rise in Spain’s house champion,receives prices since 2007 honorary MBE Maura Hillen, president AUAN

The leader of an association representing owners of illegal homes in Andalucia has been appointed an honorary Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE), for services to the British community in Spain.

The award to Mrs Maura Hillen, an Irish national, reflects her work as President and spokesperson of Abusos Urbanisticos Almanzora No! (AUAN), which campaigns for the legalisation of homes in the Almanzora Valley, where thousands of properties – mostly British owned - have lacked a final habitation certificate since they were built some 10 to 15 years ago. Under Maura Hillen’s leadership, AUAN – which in English translates to ‘No to Urban Planning Abuse in Almanzora’ – lobbies the Spanish authorities at local, regional and national level for the legalisation of homes, to get them properly connected to water and electricity, with mitigation of the costs of doing so, and information and support for affected home owners. AUAN has some 500 members, mostly British but also Belgian and Irish nationals.

The British Ambassador to Spain, Simon Manley, said: “Since 2008, Maura Hillen MBE has made a tireless contribution towards resolving the property problems that affect thousands of British homeowners in Spain. I am very pleased that Her Majesty The Queen has approved this honour, which recognises her dedication and resilience.

“Under her leadership, AUAN is a professionallyrun, well-respected organisation that has secured expert legal advice and in turn proposed realistic solutions to the Spanish regional and national authorities.

“In March last year, the Criminal Code was modified following proposals from AUAN that judges take into account that most owners purchased in

which is four tenths higher than the year-on-year increase registered in the fourth quarter of 2015, and its biggest rise since the first quarter of 2008.

Quarter-on-quarter, housing prices in the eurozone increased by 0.4percent between January and March, after increasing by 0.1percent in the previous quarter.

In the whole of the EU, house prices increased by 4percent year-on-year in the first quarter of the year, compared with the 3.6percent increase registered in the fourth quarter of last year, while quarter-on-quarter house prices rose by 0.7percent, three tenths more than in the previous quart Among the countries for which data were available, the greatest year-on-year increases in housing prices were recorded in Hungary (+15.2percent), Austria (+13.4percent and Sweden (+12.5percent), while Italy

rose by 1.4percent in the first quarter, after having remained stable in the last quarter of 2015, and represents the largest quarterly increase in housing prices since the second quarter of last year, when they increased by 4.1percent. El Economista reported that housing prices in the eurozone registered a year-onyear increase of 3percent in the first quarter of 2016,

and Cyprus both registered price declines of 1.2percent.

Compared with the previous quarter, the price of housing rose most in Hungary (+5.2percent), followed

by Austria (+4.2percent) and Romania (+3.3percent), while the most notable declines were recorded in Cyprus (-3.4percent) and Malta (-2.8percent).

good faith, and that compensation should be paid prior to any demolition. That was a significant step forward in reforming a legal system that AUAN argued had failed adequately to recognise the rights of homeowners or compensate for their losses.

“I know Maura intends to keep campaigning for more action to resolve outstanding cases and to increase the legal security for future buyers.”

Maura Hillen MBE, president of AUAN, said: “I am very pleased and delighted to accept this award not only for myself but on behalf of every member of AUAN who has also played no small part in defending the rights of homeowners in Spain, most especially committee members, past and present, and those that came before me as president of AUAN. “This award is a recognition and vindication of their efforts and perseverance as much as it is of mine.” Mrs Hillen is also Councillor for Tourism & International Relations in Albox, Almeria, and a deputy mayor.

The European Commission statistical office, Eurostat, reported that according to their latest data, the price of housing in Spain registered a year-on-year increase of 6.3percent in the first quarter of the year, which represents its greatest increase since the third quarter of 2007, before the bursting of the Spanish housing bubble as a result of the crisis.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, Spain’s house prices increased by 4.3percent, year-on-year, which is twotenths lower than the year-on-year increase registered in the previous quarter of last year, of 4.5percent.

Thus, with the latest data, the Spanish real estate market has accumulated eight consecutive quarters of year-on-year increases in the price of housing, following six consecutive years of market declines.

Trouble with cockroaches It’s that time of the year when the cockroaches are out and causing consternation in some parts of the town.

This pest is particularly evident in older more established urbanisations. The forums are full of different ways of killing this unpopular and incredibly hardy creature.

However, the real source of the problem lies not in the cracks where they come out but in the sewers and pipes where they live. Torrevieja town hall does have a contract with a pest control business that costs €100,000 a year. They are responsible for systematically targeting not only cockroaches but mosquitos, rats and the processionary caterpillar which is a particular pest in the early part of the year.

The responsibility for the control of pests such as these is down to councillor Domingo Perez. Recently a plague of mosquitoes around the saludin San Luis has been targeted. ‘The town hall is responsible for the control of pests around public places,’ explains Councillor Carmen Morate on behalf of Domingo Perez. ‘However, if the area of land is private or part of an urbanisation then you have to hire your own pest control.’

It is the community of owners who should be contacted if your property is on an urbanisation. If however, you are aware of the existence of large numbers of cockroaches then you can email sanidad@torrevieja.euand indicate their exact location. ‘It is a responsive service,’ explains Carmen.

Summer fire protection The Civil Protection voluntary organisation in Orihuela will be expanded to include a fire prevention service for this summer. The service will run until 30th September, both on the coast and inland, where members will watch over and check areas where a fire is likely to start.

The Councillor for Emergencies, Victor Valverde, explained that the team will be especially watchful over the Sierra Escalona, the Sierra de Orihuela and Campoamor, where if there is a fire they will intervene first to try and control the focal points if possible or keep trying until the fire brigade arrives to take over. Once the fire brigade is on hand, the Protecion Civil’s role will be to support the professional fire crew as required.

The unit covering the coast will be based in Cabo Roig, where it will also have a Zodiac boat “to intervene in maritime

incidents providing support to the rest of the units in the Orihuela Costa”. The inland team will be located in Pinar de Bonanza, “as it is considered a high risk area”, said the head of the volunteers' organisation, José Andúgar.

The service will also be in charge of monitoring farm bonfires and help with any other emergencies that may happen.

Foster homes needed Not all the dogs that end up in Torrevieja dog pound have been taken off the street.

Sometimes sad cases emerge where owners are unable to look after their pets for a variety of reasons. This is currently the case with a dog owner in La Siesta who is causing concerns in the local community.

‘He possibly has health issues himself,’ explains Carmen, ‘and the number of dogs he has on his land is now out of control.’ It is believed that he has around 12 dogs, including puppies, that are currently malnourished and need care and attention. ‘The original mother is a German Shepherd and there is Chihuahua too,‘ says Carmen. Neighbours have become concerned not only because of the barking and the state of the premises but because of the welfare of the dogs.

‘We would like to have access and to

remove the dogs,’ says Carmen. ‘However, at the moment that’s being refused. The only recourse we have therefore is to the courts.’

Carmen is seeking permission from the courts to enter the premises and remove the dogs. ‘The problem is,’ she says. ‘What do we do with them then?’

Carmen is sending out a plea for emergency foster parents. ‘They are not used to people and will need TLC,’ she explains. If foster carers aren’t found it will be difficult for the dog pound to take such a large number all at once.

‘It is a sad case,’ says Carmen. ‘We are hoping for a decision from the judge on Monday and will need people to help out as soon as possible once we’ve been given permission to remove the animals.’

ll kitted out

Chef wins regional award José Domingo Martínez, the Chef from Restaurante Rebate, in Pilar de la Horadada on the rural back road to San Miguel, has won first prize in the 14th Young Chefs Competition of the Murcia Region. The competition was organised

by JECOMUR, the Murcia Head Chefs and Cooks Cultural Association.

The young chef scooped the top prize with his dish of John Dory fish, cooked at a low temperature, and served with endive, pear and pancetta salad

and soubise sauce. The jury was extremely impressed, so much so that it unanimously awarded him first place.

Restaurante Rebate said that in recent years it has been combining quality with inventive cuisine, incorporating new culinary techniques in the kitchen.

They said: “Our chef José Domingo Martínez has demonstrated how our young and qualified team have a lot of initiative.”

Calpe Old Town Craft Fair The craft Fair in Calpe Old Town started on the 11th July with a modest 10 stalls. But every last one of those stalls is a craft stall, with a man or woman at the stall who makes everything on the stall. Nothing imported, nothing made in factories, all made by hand and with attention to detail. Amata, the regional crafts association, hopes to gradually increase this number to 15 or so this year.

There's Chipi with jewellery made from dried orange peel - cunning confections in unlikely colours and combinations. Alfonso has small wooden figures and puzzles, while Elba and Tino display jewellery that combines silver wire with large polished semiprecious stones. Lorena's fingers are never at rest as she creates macramé jewelry, and there's Charo who makes, while you watch, baskets out of a very coarse crochet. All nice work, and every bit is unique. Not something you will see everywhere.

Last in the row is a shy man from Ecuador with his miniature loom. We've all seen those wrist bands with “your own name” on large displays, at every rastro and

mercadillo. Hundreds of names, and something like yours is bound to be there. Dear me, no wrist band with Kevin, or Samantha or Bent? José sits at his miniature loom, moves pedals with his feet and runs a shuttle left to right, right to left - and 4 minutes later comes a very personal wrist band.

We tried it out, and are now sporting our own bands with the “Amata” logo written white on blue. Very impressive.

That little loom is made almost entirely of wood - off-cuts and pieces of ply - and held together by string, rubber straps and a few screws. Something that can be dismantled, put in the back of the car, and taken from fair to fair. So simple, and yet it produces a very sophisticated product. His wife sits beside him, and weaves, by hand (no loom this time) a different sort of name band.

Calpe craft fair starts every evening at 7 and goes on till late. Right in the middle of the old town, with four or five old and new restaurants offering a choice of supper or just a little aperitif look for the Calle de Libertad on your GPS. Or ring 639 979 678 and speak to Elvira in English. You can even look at some of the work on http://www.amata.es/CalpSum16.html. Some of the participants are there every day until 11th September, others take turns and come only for one or two weeks.

MOVIE PICK The Secret Life of Walter Mitty – Channel 4 – 10.00 pm

Ben Stiller directs and stars in this romantic comedy-adventure adaptation of James Thurber's short story. Walter Mitty oversees analogue photographic images for Life magazine; he's an outwardly quiet, sensible man, who carefully manages his income so he can support his widowed mother and his sister. Many of Mitty's colleagues mock him for being boring but, inside his head, he regularly embarks on fantastical exploits that are invariably intended to win the heart of a more sympathetic colleague, Cheryl. However, real life is about to catch up with his fantasies.

The search for a missing photographic negative will impel Mitty to set out on an adventure-packed global quest to track down the photo's elusive photographer, and also bring him closer to the woman he secretly loves.

The Somme 1916 From Both Sides of the Wire – BBC2 – 10.00pm

Historian Peter Barton concentrates on the second phase of the battle, from the middle of July to the middle of September 1916. Barton reveals how an Allied advance on objectives which should have lasted days and weeks took months and resulted in yet more carnage on the

Somme battlefield. Whilst British tactics were unvarying, that of their German enemy evolved using the changing landscape of the battlefield.

The slowness of the Allied advance during this period is explained by the emergence of new German tactics - defence in depth.

T

his week you can get your music everywhere from the middle of the sea to plazas, bars and squares and the very streets we shop in. There is something worth going out for every day this week.

On Tuesday you can catch Cassi Kennedy from Benidorm for her first show at Villamartin Plaza. The girl with the big voice and even bigger personality will also be singing with her band Rise as One later on in the season. If you like to boogie on a boat, there are two Big Red Boat trips this week. Tuesdays is the SS. Soul with Richie Alexander leading the party goers with more northern soul, Tamla and Motown than you can shake a seagull at.

Last week Rob Lewis as Phil Collins amazed the customers at Pablos in Playa Flamenca. He is ready for a repeat performance this Tuesday too, and takes his first trip to La Marina where he will be at the mini fiesta in front of Café J’s in Consum Square. Friday is the official meet and greet of the new owner of The Black Bull in San Miguel. The Phil Collins tribute will also be helping Raul, who is originally from Miami to celebrate the reopening of this spacious and friendly venue. Having had quite a few venues throw in the towel lately it is nice to see a fresh approach to hospitality and live entertainment.

Speaking of fresh - We can all become bored of the same ole same ole, so I am looking forward to newcomers into the Quesada area The Geckos. Well known in the more Southern regions of the Costa, they are making their first appearance this Saturday at The Club, Quesada. The lively 4 piece band has a huge repertoire from Stevie Wonder to Free, Bowie to Robert Palmer. Well worth going to see for a great night of live music with plenty of dancing on the menu.

If comedy is what you crave, you can do no better than Justin Sane.

Not only a brilliant comic but the man can sing too. Justin will be at La Piedra in Gran Alacant on Saturday. Also making their debut into pastures new is one of my favourite Benidorm Duos – Zodiac.

Those who have frequented the hotels in the metropolis will know that audience participation is key and lots of smiles and laughs go hand in hand with some great harmonies and music. You can join in the fun on Saturday at La Bodegueta in Lo Crispin.

If you would like your events in this guide, they are FREE. Just email me the details to letsrockshowslive@gmail.com. To book acts please go to my new site www.jaxlawson.com Shows dates can be found on www.lrshows.com Love life, love music and support your venues and acts.

Rajoy’s gift gaffe Spain’s acting president Mariano Rajoy and his USA counterpart Barack Obama exchanged gifts typical of their countries during the latter's recent visit, as is standard practice when heads of State meet on one or another's home turf. However, Rajoy made a silly error with an expensive gift that would never have got past customs and so the gift could not be taken on a plane.

Whilst Obama's present to Rajoy was a harmless glass box with the US coat of arms engraved on it, Rajoy gave Obama a leg of Serrano ham and a special hamcutting knife.

But food stuffs, including some meats and plants, cannot be taken into the United States, as is the case with other countries such as New Zealand and Australia. Even dried or in tins, such as luncheon meat or Spam, meat products cannot be taken into the country.

In addition, any knives would have to be placed in the hold on a commercial airline, although heads of State are usually flown

on military aircraft.

The meeting at the Moncloa Palace between Obama and Rajoy took just 45 minutes and, whilst the United States president said he was pleased to see Spain was recovering at last from the long recession, he urged the caretaking president to take action to end the devastating unemployment

figures, especially among younger adults.

He recalled that austerity measures in Europe had been the exact opposite of his own policies in the USA - increasing wages and promoting consumer spending which had forced unemployment right down and cut the national debt by over 75 percent.

Obama had been to Spain once before, backpacking across

Europe in his 20s during a gap year in the early 1980s, and had been keen to return - but the Dallas massacre meant he was unable to even stay for 24 hours.

Still, he has promised he will return to Spain before long and for a longer trip, because the country is ‘beautiful’, and its culture, people and climate are ‘irresistible’.

Obama praised the ‘extraordinary hospitality’ Spain had offered to his wife, Michelle Obama during her visit a week ago with their two teenage daughters Sasha, and Malia who has just turned 18, for a conference on girls’ rights to an education.

The US president joked that when one’s children reach their teenage years, they no longer want to spend time in the company of their parents, but that he would bribe them with a trip to Spain and go with them.

It is not known what Obama did with the ham he was unable to take home.

Spain tops holiday chart Spain has been named the best holiday destination in the world among sunseeking Brits.

An ‘On the Beach’ survey of 1,000 Brits put Spain in the top spot in the ‘best overall’ category, gaining 19 percent of the vote. Italy was a close second with 15 percent and France, while the most visited, was third with 9 percent.

Alistair Daly, Chief Marketing Officer at On the Beach said: “Spain really is the big winner in the survey, hitting the top spot in all but one category. Spain is set to welcome more holidaymakers than ever before this year.”

The Iberian favourite also clinched the ‘best night out’ category, with one in four holidaymakers choosing it as their number one place to party.

And just to drive the point home, Spain also won the ‘friendliest locals’ and ‘best beaches’ categories.

The only category it did not win was best food, where it came second place to Italy, which scooped 25 percent of the vote.

The accolade has already been put to the test with a post-Brexit vote seeing holidays to Spain immediately increase by 10 percent. This response could possibly be due to the fact that many Brits believe that they won’t be allowed to travel anywhere outside of the country in the near future, once the terms are agreed.

Equally, the number of Spaniards who made reservations to travel to the UK also went up at the same time – by an even bigger 17 percent.

On a global level, holidays to Great Britain booked by people living in other parts of the world went up 8 percent after the Brexit vote was known, while those

reserved by the Brits to other countries rose 2 percent. According to online travel agents eDreams, the decision by 52 percent to leave the EU has not had any negative impact whatsoever on consumers’ intention to travel. It’s been the complete opposite, in fact.

Between 24th and 27th June, straight after the result was announced, holidays to other European countries that were

5 percent, although this figure is actually lower than that of 2015.

Although London residents are generally those that tend to travel the most, after the referendum, holiday reservations made by them fell 9 percent after the vote. On the other hand, reservations went up by people living in Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Bristol, by figures ranging from 11 percent

reserved from Great Britain went up by 9 percent, while the percentage booked to other continents fell.

Popular destinations The most popular holiday destination with reservations made during these few days was Spain, which captured 23 percent of all the reservations. This makes Spain the preferred destination by the Brits, with 2,000 more bookings than its nearest rival.

The second most popular destination was actually the UK (9 percent), followed

by France, Italy and Ireland, which each took 7 percent of all the reservations.

After these countries was Germany, with

to 58 percent from last year.

The majority of people that visit the UK on holiday come from the UK itself, Spain, France, Germany and Italy – with around 68 percent of all visitors.

In the case of Spain, reservations to travel to the UK went up 17 percent after the Brexit vote was revealed, probably as a result of the drop in the pound sterling.

An increase in the number of reservations made from Germany (+15 percent) and Italy (+0.22 percent) was also registered.

Nevertheless, the greatest rise in the number of reservations was seen inside the UK itself, with a rise of 26 percent in bookings.

Damage repair at Playa Flamenca beach The City Council of Orihuela has sanctioned work on the promenade of Las Estacas beach at Playa Flamenca, in order to strengthen the channel that facilitates the waste water and flood water for that part of the coast.

The Department of the Environment, through its Integrated Water Cycle programme has been undertaking a works project in

Engineers secure the slope

Orihuela Costa to tackle the risk of a slope collapsing. The slope is a key route for the wastewater released by the pumping station and is adjacent to the promenade of Las Estacas beach. The risk of collapse was “due to the erosion caused by heavy flood water� said Councillor Miguel Angel Fernandez.

The work itself to consolidate the slope was conducted by the local water company Hidraqua. Its

team reinforced the concrete wall, making it thicker and higher and has been planning the work for the last two months. These works are being developed by the concessionaire have the necessary permits from the Hydrographic Confederation of Segura, since the area is considered public water.

SAYING GOODBYE TO NEGATIVE PEOPLE Moving away from controlling or bullying people can be one of the most courageous things you can do in your life but it can also be the hardest.

However, once you pluck up the courage to distance yourself from those who are not around you for the right reason; it will be as if a great weight has been lifted from your shoulders.

Saying ‘Goodbye to negative people’.

Yes, we have all met these types of people in our lives, haven’t we? Maybe we have been married to them, been in a relationship with them, or have been friends with them. Anyone who has read the Celestine Prophecy or have seen the Movie will know about certain people feeding off our energy.

The Controller is as it sounds. This is the person who likes to control you.

Telling you what to do, putting you down constantly, belittling you in front of others, taking over your daily life so eventually you have no energy left to take control of your own life. You are so smothered with this persons bullying nature, you feel weak, ill, and depressed. Nothing pleases them more than hurting and humiliating you. Believe it or not, this person is extremely insecure and even possibly

jealous of you.

The ‘Poor me’ is the one who tells

how they feel, and eventually, they go away feeling better as they have

space and your aura or energy field, they sap your energy. This weakens

you all their problems. They don’t see the point of trying to be positive as nothing ever goes right for them anyway! If you are ill, they have something much worse and take great delight telling you all about it. They moan constantly about others, about

offloaded onto you, and you are drained, have a headache, and want to reach for that bottle of red wine! There is energy around every living thing within the universe. That includes us, animals, plants, trees etc. Once someone steps within your personal

you, and makes them stronger. Go on, I know each and every one of you knows someone like this!!

Avoid people like this that drag your energy down. Once you can hold your higher angelic vibration you will be able to help others and

raise their vibration just through being in your presence. Eventually, every negative person around you, be it a ‘friend’ or someone at work, will move on in a natural way. In the meantime, if you HAVE to communicate with people who are on a lower vibration than you, then ensure that you ground and put protection around yourself.

A wonderful way of helping yourself is by carrying a protective crystal with you at all times such as the power stone, Amethyst. An Amethyst is a great stone to place around the home as it helps to dissipate any negativity.

If you need upliftment and joy, carry a piece of Citrine around with you.

Citrine is known as the happy and abundant stone. If someone has been draining you, find a place where you won't be disturbed and sit in quiet contemplation whilst holding your piece of citrine. Concentrate on slowing down your breathing and feel the magical energy of your beautiful crystal whilst asking your Guardian Angel to help you raise your vibration so you will be drawn to positive funloving people, and they in turn will be drawn to the new, vibrant and positive you!

Ian via email asks: Hi Aunty. I have a UK laptop with windows 7 and I have just returned back to Spain and I am being pestered to sign up for the free Windows 10 upgrade and I'm tempted because of the magic word, FREE! What sort of problems can I expect and will it be in English? or is it better stickng with Windows 7? Hope you can

CostaBlancaPeople July 19th - July 25th 2016

help.

Aunty Says: Hello Ian. Yes it is totally free (if you have a genuine install of Win7 or 8) and it will detect and upgrade in your current language. So far I have heard pretty much all good things about Win10 so I would go for it before the free upgrade offer runs out at the end of this month (July 2016). If you

have any very old programs/apps then you may find they need reinstalling and also make sure you have a backup of any photos or documents just in case.

Sandra via email asks: I have a new Toshiba laptop running Windows 10 which came with the Microsoft Student & Office app preinstalled. Unfortunately this turned out

www.costablancapeople.com

to be just a trial version and is now warning me that it will expire in 4 days. I use Word every day and have tried the free Open Office but it doesn’t seem to work the same. Is there any other program I can use?

Aunty Says: Hi Sandra. There is a great free Word type app that come pre-bundled with Windows called “Wordpad” so click on the start button and type Wordpad and it should show in the list. If you need more functionality then maybe try Google Docs or Libre Office which are both free and work as really good substitutes for Microsoft apps. I’m surprised that you didn’t find Open Office suitable (I am writing this with it) as it pretty much does everything that the Microsoft Office suite can do.

Louise via email asks: Dear Aunty, You have been kind enough to help me in the past and I am now having so much trouble with my laptop because randomly and at no particular time it will simply shut down and I have to restart it again with the on/off button. Can you help me in any way to solve the problem?

Keep up the great work.

Aunty Says: Normally Louise when a computer consistently shuts down it is caused by overheating, and this generally gets worse as it heats up. Blowing any fluff from the air vents underneath and around the sides, and also propping the laptop up slightly so cool air can flow underneath will often improve things.

As your problem is random and I guess happens regardless of how long you have been using it then maybe check you don’t have a loose connection where the power charger is plugged in.

Keep me posted.

Well that’s all for this week, email me your problems to auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and I will see what I can do.

Smile Charity Group The ‘Smile Charity Group’ recently made a donation of €660 to the Benijófar Crisis Appeal, when a cheque was presented by the Group Treasurer, Dolly Ford, to Luis Rodriguez, the Mayor of Benijófar. The cash was raised from the proceeds received for the recent production of “Alice in Blunderland”.

A donation of €100 has also been made to “Natasha’s Appeal”. Natasha, a vibrant, friendly and caring 22 year old has been struck down by three debilitating illnesses, and funds are being raised for urgent medical equipment to help make her life more bearable for the future. For more information on the appeal go to www.gofundme.com/wexb7wzw.

These two donations brings the total sum raised by the “Smile Charity Group” to €14,084, since its inception two and a half years ago.

The script is now finished for the group’s next comedy production “Mind me Ghoulies” . Written by John Wallace, this is a Christmas Ghost Story, and it will be performed, as usual, in local restaurants and bars during December and January. Look out for the confirmed dates in the Costa Blanca People.

Auditions for the play will start on Tuesday 30th August, so if you are a budding thespian, or would just like to have fun, on or off stage, email Smile at smilecharitygroup@gmail.com, or find them on Facebook.

All About Health & Beauty

Have you got Wobbly Bits?

Yes its horrid isn’t it? For most of us it’s that time of year again, the awful realisation that the clothes you had last year are just that teeny bit tighter and don’t look quite so nice, because over the cooler months many of us gain a few kilos.

If you tried Cambridge Weight Loss Plan you could shift some of your winter podge before August.

Yes, you would have to do it properly, but because Cambridge works you can begin to see changes during the first week of being on the plan.

What an incentive to try to get back your last years shape.

Over the summer months I advise damage limitation, as being realistic is the only way that we can really help people to get into shape and stay positive about their body image.

One way to bring damage limitation

is to go on one of the lower Cambridge steps where you might replace two meals each day with Cambridge foods.

This ensures that you are having two perfectly balanced healthy meals per day, and although you may not lose huge amounts you certainly shouldn’t put on huge amounts. Then when your visitors have gone you can look at going on a higher step on the plan and really get into shape.

Cambridge Consultants are highly trained, experienced, real people who live in the real world. All of the consultants have used the plan themselves successfully and this is what makes the whole thing work.

You are not preached to by someone who has only ever been a size 6 you are encouraged and supported by someone who has experienced being too large for their height, otherwise known as being

overweight.

We can help both men and women , both young and older, slightly overweight or clinically obese, healthy or not quite so healthy, we can even help diabetics or those with chronic health problems.

We always complete a Health Questionnaire and sometimes if we have concerns about underlying health issues we may write to your doctor, only with your permission.

Together your doctor, you and your Cambridge Consultant can make an amazing difference to your weight, your self esteem, your ability to do more normal healthy things and your life.

To find out more about the plan go online to Cambridge Weight Plan Spain or call us on 667 817 546.

Your weight plan your way!

Tips for a healthier you…

Many of us know what we should be doing to live healthily, yet many of us struggle to actively manage our lifestyle.

We may well know what to do, but doing it is another matter, the phrase ‘easier said than done’ springs to mind.

Many of us even understand the reasons why we find it hard to live in a healthy way through exercising, eating well, getting adequate sleep.

It can be daunting to think we need to make huge changes in our lives, so instead focus on the little steps you can take and maybe introduce one every week. Below are a few simple steps we can take to improve eating habits and increase exercise without it feeling like a complete overhaul. .

Sticking to a healthy eating plan, even the Mediterranean Diet, can be difficult when you live in Spain because it is such a social lifestyle. There are constantly invitations to meals out with friends, BBQ’s or celebrations….or of course visitors from the UK descending on you for several weeks and forcing you to eat and drink copious amounts!

The secret is not to let this derail your good intentions. If you have a bad eating and exercise day, weekend or even week then accept that as the case, drawn a line under it and start again. On the days where you can stick to clean eating and getting some exercise, then do so. You will be surprised how these mount up and the difference it will make to your health.

Below are tips to help you achieve a healthier you. See how many you can add in to your daily life, without making huge changes….

Jumping jacks Jumping jacks is a fun way to begin your exercise regimen as it helps open

up the body.

Running Going for a jog every morning helps staying in shape and also reduces stress levels.

8 hours of sleep Sleep, which is necessary for a healthy living, reduces the signs of ageing.

Park your car far from your destination Parking your car at some distance from the place you are heading to helps you walk extra steps during the day.

Practice random acts of kindness Random acts of kindness are good for givers and receivers alike. It could be a quick call or text to someone you care about or have lost touch with, or showing a fellow motorist some consideration, or giving up your seat on a train or bus, or buying someone lunch or giving a spontaneous bunch of flowers.

Practice the art of appreciation Modern-day living tends to be aspirational and we can easily find ourselves chasing an ever-growing list of goals, many of which can be material.

Some of us could do with spending more time focusing on what we have, not on what we don’t have. Our mood can be lifted by giving thanks for anything from our friends and family to a beautiful landscape or sunset.

Good afternoon, On Page 71, I have read with interest, the need to renew driving licences every 5 years, once you have surpassed the age of 65, which I am aware of.

My Spanish driving licence is not due for renewal until 2019 and as I am in excellent health, please advise where I need to go to get my driving licence renewed. I live near Rojales.

Many thanks Pieter M-S Francisco replies: If you have a Spanish driving licence you will have to check the expiration date in the back side of it, then you will have until this date to carry out a medical check, which can be done up to the last day of that date. Then once you are over 65 years, you will have to renew your Class B licence every 5 years unless the doctor asks you to do so beforehand due to his medical conditions. For licences in class BTP, C1, C1 + E, C, C + E, D1, D1 + E, D y D + E, the renewal period foro ver 65s is three years.

In many cases it is not necessary to go to Trafico office for the renewal as it can be done via officially recognised offices. There are none in Rojales Pieter, but there are three in Torrevieja which are listed on the DGT site: Ramón Gallud 23 Teléfono: 966-706565

I exchanged my UK licence for a Spanish one in November, 2014. Yet, my renewal date is the day before my 70th birthday in May, 2017.

I'm guessing that there is a requirement for all Spanish residents to renew at 70 but would like confirmation of this please.

Additionally, how early do I need to start the process?

However, if renewal at 70 is not mandatory, should my 2014 license

www.costablancapeople.com

have had a renewal date of November, 2019? If so, what action should I take?

Thank you, Regards, Eileen Myers Francisco replies: Eileen, after checking the expiration date in the back of your licence, you can start the process 3 months before it expires or wait until the last day of expiration. After the expiration date you are not allowed to drive unless you will take the document you will get after passing your medical test. Once you have passed it, the medical centre will give you a certificate and you will receive your licence at your address.

A piece an advice; make a notarized photocopy and take it with you together with the certificate. The new driving licence sometimes takes long to arrive and you can use your old licence together with your medical certificate. If you have not done it, do not worry, take an ID with photo to prove your identity together with the certificate until you receive the new one.

The Grand Tour As Chris Evans steps down from presenting Top Gear, many will be looking forward to seeing how its rival show fares on Amazon Prime. It's called ‘The Grand Tour’ and will of course be presented by Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond.

Last July, the trio signed with the online streaming service, after the BBC decided not to renew Clarkson's contract following his ‘altercation’ with a producer. However, it’s only more recently that details of the new show have started to emerge.

The Grand Tour show name has been confirmed, alluding to the fact that the presenters will travel the world, with each episode taking place in a different country. The straight name might be a disappointment to fans who had predicted some more amusing titles, from House of Cars to Gear Knobs or Dipsticks.

Responding to the new name, Jay Marine, VP of Amazon Video Europe, said: “After nine months of deep thought, debate and deliberation, the guys have come up with a name that reflects the global ambition of the new show. The Grand Tour will be one of the most anticipated TV launches ever, and we’re excited to be bringing it to Amazon Prime customers around the world this autumn.”

Clarkson, Hammond and May have signed up to present three 12-episode

series, with each episode set to be roughly 60 minutes in length. The show will debut in the autumn, and will be available to anyone who has signed up to Amazon’s £79-per-year Prime streaming service, which also includes free delivery of items bought on Amazon. Fans can follow The Grand Tour on Facebook and Twitter.

However, while some Amazon series are made available all in

one go so subscribers can binge-watch an entire series if they choose, the new motoring show is expected to stick to the once-a-week schedule familiar to Top Gear’s BBC Two viewers.

In the opening episode, the trio will compare three of the latest hybrid hypercars: the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. Clarkson previously drove the P1 in an episode of Top Gear, while May tried the LaFerrari and Hammond the 918. However, this

will be the first time that they've tested the cars back-to-back. Indeed, it's quite a coup for the new show, because the BBC tried and failed to get Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche to agree to a backto-back test.

All three cars are limited-run models capable of more than 200mph, but the Ferrari is the most expensive, at £1.15 million. The McLaren costs £866,000, while the Porsche is ‘just’ £625,000.

However, it won't all be supercars; at the other end of the motoring scale, Clarkson Hammond and May will also be driving threewheeled Reliants.

Clarkson, Hammond and May obviously no longer have access to the Top Gear test track, but that doesn’t mean they'll be forced to do all their testing on the road.

Instead, they're expected to use a number of different motor racing circuits, including the Autodromo Internacional Algarve in Portugal.

Clarkson's salary hasn't been revealed, but the new show is said to have a budget of £160 million. Spread over 36 episodes, that's 4.5 million a show – more than four times the budget of Top Gear when Clarkson, Hammond and May were presenting it.

With such a large budget, the trio could blow up more than 1,125 caravans an episode, hold 54 car football matches or fire 375 Reliant Robins into space.

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.

Clarkes Bar Annual Help for Heros Golf Day

Clarkes Bar held its Annual Help for Heroes Golf day at a blustery Vistabella Golf, the course was in great condition and 32 players turned out in support.

The scores on the day reflected the difficult conditions but congratulations go to the following winners: Whiskey Challenge: Dave Banton Nearest the Pins: Peter Flood, John Mitton Nearest the Pin in 2 Shots: Dave Banton Nearest the Pin in 3 Shots: Charlie Rodgers Longest Drive: Kenny Forrest Team Runners Up: Tommy Clarke, Jez Waite, Paul Morgan, Steve Powell Team Winners: Dave Somerville, Bob Rankine, George Thomas, Len Mathews Pairs Runners Up: Kenny Forrest, Kevin McBride Pairs Winners: Dave Somerville, Bob Rankine 3rd Place Singles: Geoff Walters 2nd PLace Singles: Dave Banton Winner Singles: Bob Rankine The days Golf was followed by a presentation night in Clarkes Bar where we hosted the two injured servicemen, Jez Waite Royal Marines and Ges Almond RAF, from the Band of Brothers, Help for

Heroes, we were entertained by Gina G and fed with an excellent Buffet by Mary who were supported by their great staff.

Our two guests were with us for seven days and during that time managed four rounds of golf.

The Friday night we descended on the Emerald Isle to be entertained by the great Richie Alexander and we were not disappointed, we had a sale of wrist bands and pins which made a wonderful 168 euros, so thanks to all who dug deep on the night and to the Emerald Isle for allowing us to be there.

Overall we managed to raise a thousand euros for this great cause and

our thanks go to the following their assistance and Sponsorship: Mary and Tommy for their wonderful continuing support throughout the year.

All golfers who turned out on the day, obviously the day cannot be a success without you.

Martin Cunningham for the Whiskey Challenge.

Mick the Grip for always being there.

Jill and Henk from RIOJA Properties who donated the First and Second Singles Prizes on the day.

■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

Cast your mind back to last weekend where Brits could turn up to any sporting event held in the British Isles and win it. Could they maintain that level of form? Could they bananas.

The Open Golf was held at Royal Troon and Rory McIlroy didn’t come close.

England played Pakistan at the Home of Cricket and it was the Pakistan players doing celebratory push-ups at the end of the 4th day. No, if you are searching for good news about British sport then you have to go abroad to find it, which has disappointed 52% of the people back home.

As I have openly admitted in the past, I care little for golf but as a sports fan and, allegedly, a writer of it even I could not fail to be caught up in the drama of the final round at Royal Troon.

Phil Mickelson shot 65 on the final day of an Open Championship, finished -17 for the tournament and finished second. Had he won, he would have been the oldest Open winner since Uncle Tom back in the 1567 or something. His score would have won 140 of the previous 144 Open tournaments.

Mickelson was out fought by the Swede, Henrik Stenson who also shot 65 and finished the tournament with a record -20. Stenson also became the oldest maiden Open winner in claiming the Claret Jug. Golf, you know, might catch on. If only they could get it into the Olympics. What

ROCKET’S GOLF SOCIETY VISTABELLA GOLF It was back to our “Home” on an extremely hot summer’s day, temperatures hit a high of 36 degrees and plenty of water was the order of the day, a little tip drink at least a half litre of water before you go and play as it is difficult the rehydrate quickly when playing.

What was interesting though was the methods used to keep cool; the best I have seen is to soak the Bucket Style hat in water the night before and freeze it ready to wear for the next day. (Really cool!) The next is to do the same with a towel.

These methods worked as some of the scores were quite good, for those who did not know about them were not so cool and the score likewise.

Well done to Vistabella green staff as the course and in particular the greens is in really good condition and helped thos who could cope with the heat.

do you mean they have? Oh, just none of the proper players want to play in it. I hear you.

Cricket is a sport that many can play competitively into their 40’s, 50’s and even sometimes their 60’s would you believe?

Rarely at international level though, so it was a special treat to see Pakistan’s captain, aged 42, score a ton at Lords in the First Test. In any other match Misbahul-Haq would have been odds on to pick up the man-of-the-match award, but it was his leg spinner Yasir Shah

that nabbed the award, taking ten wickets in the match and bamboozling many of the England batsmen. Well, I say bamboozled. By that I really mean convinced them to give away their wickets somewhat recklessly and cheaply, eh Mo? In one of the better Test matches in recent memory England looked like clawing back an unlikely victory before Bairstow got out playing the kind of shot that many a club cricketer would regret for the rest of the weekend. Still, at least they managed to get me a result for the CBP deadline.

We need some British success, don’t we? Well who would

SAMM Racing Success

BEST GUESTS: Steve Wild 28 points So it was back to St. James’s Gate for the Lasagne and Chips, thanks to Martin and Mandy for their hospitality.

Our next game on 26th July is at Alicante Golf, please be there by 09:15.

For a first tee time of 10:00 - don’t forget there is coffee on arrival.

For more information or if you wish to play with arguably the friendliest Golf Society contact Ron Nicholson on 678849142 or email sanmigron@gmail.com

The SAMM 2016 Race Series was a great success with 13 of the planned races being run, the cancellations only due to other events at CTD making it impossible to go ahead.

It was a closely fought race for the top three places and the results could have been different if the regular skippers on Conny and Sirocco had been around for the last race day.

Each boat was able to discard their worst three results so that 10 of the 13 counted.

SAMM run these handicap races on the low points system, the wining boat being Shoestring Cuatro with 17.75 points including five race wins, second Sirocco with 27.5 points and third Conny with 29 points.

Sirocco’s second place was notable as,

have thought you could rely on British tennis to be the bringers of glad tidings? Andy Murray decided to have a rest in the Davis Cup Quarter Final against Serbia, presumably as Djovokic had also called in sick. GB didn’t need their star man as they beat the Serbs with one match remaining to set up a semi final with Argentina. If, and it is a big if, they do retain the Davis Cup they would be only the ninth nation since the tournament’s inception in 1981 to do so. I’m full of the facts today.

Here is another fact. If you don’t want a rider to get killed in the Tour de France, do something about controlling the crowds.

There were dangerous yet farcical scenes during the week as Chris Froome crashed off his bike following “crowd interference” and set to legging it as fast as he could to keep his time ticking until a replacement bike was found for him. After 15 stages Froome leads the event with Cavendish winning four of the stages to take his career total to an impressive 30.

Going back to golf for five minutes.

Having watched the movie about “Eddie the Eagle” this week and learned how Eddie managed to find an event where GB wouldn’t be taking any competitors to the Winter Olympics, if any of the local golfers on the Costa Blanca fancy a chance of competing in Rio I would suggest packing your clubs and heading down to Brazil. Top level golfers are running away from the event faster than Froome up a mountain, so I fancy your chances.

for many races, she was sailed single handed by Julian Pering, right in the photograph. Cuatros crew varied during the season so Jack Moss, left, collected the trophy. Everybody is looking forward to the Autumn Series which starts on September 4th.

Tales from the Top Flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN There's no rush, folks. No rush at all.

Sunderland don't mind not knowing whether they have a manager for the new season and Hull are more than happy to start the campaign with the kit man in charge if it helps you out. Just take your time, it's not as if the national team has a game in about six weeks right? We are no closer to knowing the identity of the new England manager, except we all know it is going to be Big Sam which could see David Moyes take over at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland will be treated to a manager who likes to play direct football with minimum flair and who has the potential to get the team up to the safety of mid-table. Just like Big Sam then, really.

Paul Pogba has issued the biggest "come and get me plea" to a new contract at Juventus by suggesting he is open-minded towards a move to Manchester United, whilst sniggering behind his hand and saying "not" like a precocious teenager.

TFTTF has always been a fan of Colin Murray. Even in his early days on Radio One with Edith Bowman, the sound of his Irish lilt made life a little better. Then he became the host of Fighting Talk and went from strength to strength. You might sense a hint of a man crush which is now in danger of becoming full-blown love. Admittedly it is going to take slightly more than one presenter walking away from TalkSport following its purchase by the company that owns the Sun and, more importantly, is owned

by Rupert Murdoch, the man who runs

Great Britain, to make a true stand against such a moral-lacking organisation but fair play to Murray for being the man to set an example.

Slightly different to Mr Collymore who also left TalkSport the day before, criticising the withdrawal of a contract and begging for a new deal elsewhere.

Not that anyone saw his appeal on Twitter, Stan has blocked most users over the last few years.

King Klopp has made his position very clear on Mario Ballotelli’s position. And that position is not playing up front for Liverpool again. Klopp showed his super powers of message managing once again, praising Ballo for incredible preseason graft and saying there will definitely be a club interested in his services. That club could well be Sampdoria or (insert any Chinese club of

Arsenal fans are in for the usual summer game of “Higuain or no Higuain” as it has been rumoured that Arsenal have bid £42m plus Giroud for the Argentine front man. Napoli are said to be keen on the deal and are hoping to negotiate a £37m deal without Giroud.

N'Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez have pulled the ultimate prank on Jamie Vardy. I can imagine the conversation between the three when Vardy was considering a move to Arsenal some weeks back. "Lads, if I stay we all stay, right?" Mahrez and Kante both nodded positively without meaning a single word of it. Kante has called his move to Chelsea as a "dream come true." That boy must have some interesting dreams if being plucked from Ligue 2 in France, moving to Leicester and winning the Premier League at the first attempt was not a dream come true. Mahrez is also off, probably for more than Kante's £30m. The destination is anyone's guess but most likely to be somewhere like Madrid, Barcelona or London.

Speaking of London, Colombian James Rodriguez might be rocking up alongside his fellow countryman Bacca and learning a bit of cockney rhyming. £80m is the price Real Madrid have put on Columbia's talisman and the Hammers are prepared to pay it. Season tickets must have gone well at the Olympic Stadium. It would be an incredible statement of intent if they were able to capture James, and the prospect of him lining up alongside Payet and, erm, Carroll is mouth watering.

Spurs have signed Vincent Janssen from AZ in Holland. He was the top scorer over there last season, but that doesn’t always mean anything – I mean, who remembers Afonso Alves at Middlesboro? For every Ruud van Nistelrooy there has been at least three Siem de Jong’s. That said, only £17m in this day and age seems incredible value when you consider that Leicester were prepared to waste spend £25m on Troy Deeney. They've also shelled out £11m of Marseille's French wideman Nkoudou.

Having scored THAT goal against Belgium, Hal Robson-Kanu could have been forgiven for letting his mind start to dream about his next club destination. I mean, AC Milan might have a vacancy soon. AZ Alkmaar certainly have. Who is to say that Carlo didn’t spot the potential in the Wales front man? Either way, Hal would have probably been hoping for a little more than a two year deal in Humberside.

Steve Bruce is keen to snap the Welshman up, so it will probably happen.

Finally, just to remind everyone that English clubs do have more money than sense, Jordan Ibe has moved from Liverpool to Bournemouth for £15m. To

give this some perspective, Germany World Cup winning goalscorer Mario Goetze moved on the same day from Bayern Munich to Dortmund for £19m.

Almost as crazy as the thought of Ryan Shawcross, Andy Carroll, Jermaine Defoe and Mark Noble all lining up in Big Sam's first game in charge of England.

Quesada Golf Society Last Wednesday the society travelled south along the AP7 to Roda golf course which is visible from the motorway. It was a bit overcast to begin with and a slight breeze blew which was welcome with the sun coming out part way through the day. The course as always was in very good condition. The competition was an individual stableford with a Gold & Silver division. 28 players took part. Another course with an island green on the par 3 7th hole with the lake around the green just waiting for balls to make a splash. Janet Candelin´s did but it bounced out onto the green stuff.

The winner of the Gold division was for the second time in a row was big Brent Hollins with a score of 37 points.

He is certainly in a rich vein of form. Big Bad John will look forward again with glee to cutting your handicap. In second place with 33 points was west countryman Ron Perkins. No need this time Ron to go scrounging a bottle of wine off the other winners. In third place was Darryll Wright known in walking football circles as “Sick-note” with a score of 29 points. The winner of the Silver division with a creditable 31 points was Chris Nields. In second place with 26 points was sailor-boy David Johnson.

Welcome back David after a long lay-off after falling from the mast of your boat

in dry dock. In 3rd place on C/B with 25 points was the man from Sherwood

forest, Paul Flanaghan. The best guest was southern Irishman Joe McCadden with the best score on the day with 40 points and it wasn´t the luck of the Irish.

Joe played magnificently. The “nearest the pin” winners were Brent Hollins, wee Gordon McGregor, Joe McCadden, big bad John Featherstone, the bonnie Scotsman Sergio Spiers and the man who looks after the societies money, Brian Airey. There were two games in the annual knock-out competition with Paul Feathertstone beating smokin Tony Patterson and Darryll Wright beating John Dunnion. Commiserations to John who parred the first then got disturbed by the marshall about buggies which put him off his game and from which he didn´t recover. There were no 2´s on the day with the pot being carried forward to the next game. The scratchcard was

won by Mark Good with Falkirk.

After the game the players returned to the society base at the bright and airy bar area at the Quesada Country Club for the presentations, a drink or two and a tasty hot and cold buffet kindly laid on by mine hosts.

The next society game is on Wednesday 27 July at Campoamor, a course the Society has not played for a good few years with members looking forward to it. It will be an individual stableford competition.

Anyone in the Quesada area looking to join a very friendly golf society and play golf once a fortnight at a wide variety of courses at a very reasonable cost, should contact the Chairman & Membership Secretary Les Pancott on 966716723.
