Theresa May triggers Article 50 Theresa May triggered Brexit before lunch on the fateful date of Wednesday, 29th March. his is the moment Britain tells the European Union it is officially in a letter signed by the Prime Minister's own hand. The letter has been taken to Brussels and given to EU Council President Donald Tusk. This officially begins the Brexit process, which Mrs May pledged would commence before the end of March. She then made a statement to the House of Commons following Prime Minister's Questions. Britain will now face the most
T
intense, arduous and complex negotiations since the end of the Second World War. Both the EU and the Government agree on one thing: this is ‘unprecedented’ territory and neither side knows how the talks will pan out. The letter informs Mr Tusk that Britain is invoking its rights under Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty which states: “Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements.” Article 50 sets out the exit process but is deliberately vague – meaning member states could be forced to enter into long negotiations to thrash out the terms of any deal. Immediately after Article 50 is invoked, a two-year window begins during which Britain will be expected to enter talks on plans for its relationship with the rest of the Union. All 28 member states have to unanimously agree to the terms of a deal meaning the negotiations could take years. In the meantime Britain is still bound by the obligations and responsibilities of
EU membership. The President of the European Council Donald Tusk presented the EU's initial response within 48 hours of Article 50 being triggered. This set out the draft guidelines for how the 27 EU countries intend to approach the negotiations. Mr Tusk is now arranging a special summit of the EU27, expected to be held within the next few weeks, where they will finalise their objectives for Brexit. These instructions will be handed to Michel Barnier, the European Commission's chief negotiator. As the European Parliament will also want a say it could be several weeks before the formal talks begin and many in the EU believe that serious negotiations will not begin until after the new French President is elected in May. The negotiations will be overseen by Theresa May and led by David Davis, the Secretary for State for Exiting the EU. Most of the workload will be done by Oliver Robbins, the permanent secretary at the Department for Exiting the EU, Sir Tim
Barrow, UK ambassador to Brussels, and his deputy Shan Morgan. The EU lead negotiator is Barnier, a right-wing French politician who was the country’s former Foreign minister. He will be assisted b the Belgian Didier Seeuws and a team of 30 officials. Officially there is a two year window to complete negotiations, but Mr Barnier has
“
One of our top priorities for the negotiations is our citizens. As the Prime Minister said in her letter to European Council President, we should always put our citizens first, and we want an early agreement about their rights.

said in reality it will be 18 months The talks have to be completed in time for the European Parliament and the European Council to ratify them. This means the talks will have to have finished by October 2018. For UK expatriates living in other European Countries, not least those living here in Spain Article 50 raises a whole range of questions and uncertainties. The Ambassador to Spain, Simon Manley said: “One of our top priorities for the negotiations is our citizens, and there will be no immediate changes to expat rights here in Spain in the interim. From the meetings that our teams across Spain have had in recent months, we know that many British residents in Spain have questions about the future, ranging from residency rights to healthcare and pensions. “One of our top priorities for the negotiations is our citizens.

Thanks to the Ladies who Lunch The Paul Cunningham Nurses Charity would like to say thank you to the Ladies who Lunch group who raised money to buy a new hospital bed for the Charity’s patients. The group meet on a monthly basis and the donation of the bed will be very much appreciated. The bed was presented to Tricia Lee, who raises money for the charity, by three of the group’s members, Carmel, Anne and Janine Williams.
Alert from Valencia Readers may have seen the recently released adverts urging people to enrol on the padrón. This applies to the local area including Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa. The original advert was confusing as it did not clearly distinguish between whether the request for registration was the padrón or residencia. However, we have been told that the notice refers specifically to the renewal of the padrón – a process that we referred to in our issue of the 28th March. If you haven’t renewed your padrón certificate during the last five years, it would be beneficial for you to do so if you are still living in Spain. This ensures that you remain on the town’s registry and are eligible for a number of benefits. It also enables your local town to keep accurate records and apply for central funding.

The family and friends of Bruno Manuel Miranda Gomes, who died following an accident on a motorcycle, are asking for more information about the accident. Bruno, also known as ‘Portu’ was killed when the motorbike left the road and ploughed into a lamppost at 7.50am on the morning of 19th March. The young man died shortly afterwards at the hospital. ‘Portu’ was well known as he worked as a volunteer for the Protección Civil and his death has caused great consternation in the town. It is also considered to be something of a mystery as to what actually happened. The police claim that Portu was driving the bike without a licence or insurance and that the forensic report of the injuries was consistent with him being the driver. However, his family have claimed that this is not accurate and that there is some confusion as to whether the second person injured in the accident was actually driving the bike. To register their concern a hundred relatives and friends gathered at
the scene of the accident on the 1st April and placed flowers and candles there. ‘We want justice for my brother,’ explained Helder Filipe Miranda Gomes, one of the deceased’s two brothers. ‘To begin with the police said it was my brother driving the bike but then they indicated that it wasn’t clear who was driving it.’ The family are adamant that Bruno had little experience with motorbikes and that the other person on the bike was not apparently known to him. The other person involved was a young Lithuanian national who only received light injuries. Both young men had left a nearby disco only moments before. There had been a fight at the scene to which the Guardia Civil had been called. The young Lithuanian was found to test positive following a breathalyser test. The accident took place on Avenida Rosa Mazón and it is believed that the motorbike was travelling at high speed before the collision. Suzanne O’Connell

Bottled gas has gone up in price by 5 percent - from Tuesday, 21st March meaning a total increase of 20 percent since late March 2016 after months of its cost having plummeted. A typical orange bottle used by householders for heating and cooking has gone up to €13.52 from its €12.89 up to last Monday. Although the fuel industry says it should really have increased by 14 percent, up to €14.74, national laws prevent gas bottle prices from rising or falling by more than 5 percent. Since its record low in July last year of
€11.25 – having decreased by 35 percent on prices seen in 2015 - bottled gas has now gone up four times in a row. So far, the highest it has ever been is €17.50, when it reached a peak in March 2015. Government-set prices only apply to orange gas bottles, although a few euros extra is charged when these are on a contract and delivered door-to-door. The lighter, silver bottles bought from distributors directly or from petrol stations are not subject to state-regulated prices, and retailers are permitted to charge what they wish for these gas bottles.

Previous audiences have included the sixth year children of Colegio Amanecer, Ciudad del Mar and CEIP Cuba. More schools are yet to enjoy his visit. Not much was needed for him to perform, just a projection screen and a couple of benches to designate the stage. The aim of this versatile opera performance is to demonstrate the power of music and its importance as a vehicle for learning. It is all done through singing and Pablo uses his voice like a musical instrument. It might not be the immediate choice of the mobile generation but his performance certainly grabbed their attention.
SUMA to collect Plusvalía tax and parking permits The town hall of Torrevieja has delegated the collection of Plusvalía, the tax that is paid on any increase in land value when you sell, and parking permits to SUMA. SUMA are currently the company who are responsible for collecting IBI council tax and road tax for vehicles. With the addition of these two new municipal taxes to their portfolio, it will mean that SUMA collects all the town council’s taxes. This is good news for tax payers as the website is also in English and provides opportunity to pay online. You can also request from them a personal payment plan that will allow you to spread payment of your taxes across the year. Alternatively you can visit one of their 45 offices spread around Alicante province.
Opening licences denied on beach front The requests for provisional licences have been denied to three businesses preparing to open again on the beach front paseo in the centre of Torrevieja. One of these included a bouncy castle and temporary kiosk serving food. The councillor, Fanny Serrano, explained that the permission for these premises had been given previously by Francisco Moreno of the PP. She claims that this had been done without any legal basis or type of technical information. Altogether the businesses employ about 20 people. It is claimed that during the last three years, beachfront businesses have been operating on undeveloped urban plots. The three currently referred to here include ‘El Faro de Torrevieja’ on the Paseo de Juan Aparicio, a kiosk next to the las columnas on the Cura beach and another at the beginning of La Mata beach. Last year they were also denied permission to open but were finally allowed to go ahead on the provision that they began to put the work needed into place. But now, they still have not begun the work and have run out of the allocated amount of time. The businesses are claiming that Continued on page 6

Business gala in Torrevieja The 13th Business Gala to celebrate local businesses and award prizes was held at the Centro Cultural Virgen del Carmen cultural centre on the 31st March.

The previous mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, has been served with a summons from court number 2 in Torrevieja and is due to appear in court on April 19th. The summons is in relation to the Vela Mata night club on La Mata beach. It is claimed that Eduardo Dolón did not take any action against the club when it was operating without a licence between the dates of 2013 and 2015 and when denuncias were made against it. This is the second time the complaint has come to court as it was originally ‘filed’. However, this time, the current mayor, José Manuel Dolón, is confident that there is sufficient evidence to ensure that a prosecution can be made. According to Eduardo Dolón there is nothing different since the case was last brought to court and: ‘In the notification I am not accused of anything and no crime is specified.’ According to José Manuel Dolón, the case is clear and justified. The allegations against Eduardo Dolón have now been extended to the Local Police. In his defence Eduardo Dolón claims that there were joint meetings between officials including Local Police inspectors
and the Guardia Civil with the aim of monitoring the actions of the club. Eduardo Dolón also claims that the city’s technicians did order specific inspections of the club. The chief of the local police, Vicenter Gutiérrez will give evidence on the 2nd May. Others who will be asked to give evidence include the previous inspector Manuel López Vera and previous administrators in the ‘urbanismo’ department. There are also ongoing investigations in relation to the water park Aquópolis. Before the new local government was elected in 2015, the Partido Popular had held office in Torrevieja for 28 years. With the new local administration there are continued clashes between the opposition PP party and the governing party. These often include the PP blocking proposals by the local government team and, as in this case, accusations of irregularities during the PP’s previous administration. Suzanne O’Connell

Day of athletics for Torrevieja’s school children Las Culturas primary school in Torrevieja played host on Saturday to the ‘Jugando al Atletismo’ athletics competition. This was a regional event which saw the participation of around 150 athletes currently in the fifth and sixth years of primary schools. The competition had been organised between Las Culturas and the department of sport in Torrevieja. Councillor for sports, Víctor Ferrández, explained that Torrevieja was represented by teams from the primary schools CEIP
Ciudad del Mar, CEIP anfitrión and Las Culturas. There were also participants from the two final years of primary school in Algemesí, Denia, Santa Pola and Valencia. Councillor Ferrández attended the event and presented medals to the participating schools. Days such as this, which focus around a sporting event, are aimed at encouraging a healthy lifestyle, opportunity to practice sport and its values and, in this case, athletics. The different events included tests of speed, ten by ten and two relays; throwing the medicine ball and javelin; jumping, triple jump and long jump with feet together. The events were supervised by the judges from the Athletics federation. Most of the events took place inside the school’s multi-purpose hall with the javelin and relays taking place on the outside sports ground. The behaviour of the children was exemplary and they cheered each other on. It was particularly good to see some members of opposing teams congratulating each other too. The relays provided a tense final and it was a delighted Las Culturas who discovered that they will go through with Ciudad del Mar to compete on the 13th and 14th May in the Spanish Championship in Madrid. Thanks to the success of schools last year from Torrevieja in the national championship, Torrevieja can enter up to four teams in the next competition. Suzanne O’Connell

Securing rights of expats Spain is backing a common agreement to secure rights of British expats ‘in principle’ and it is thought that the issue will be at the top of the agenda once Brexit talks begin. Spain has backed a common agreement for EU and UK nationals living abroad. While not making promises, the country has said it agrees to a reciprocal deal ‘in principle’. This is good news for UK Prime Minister Theresa May, who has been keen to secure a commitment from EU countries to protect the rights of Brits living on the continent after Brexit. Speaking to the Times, Spain’s EU secretary Jorge Toledo said: “We are broadly in favour of retaining a reciprocal agreement on questions like healthcare and freedom of movement. “As regards to the rights of EU citizens in the UK and the rights of UK citizens in the EU, Spain is in favour of the amplest respect of these rights in the future but the modalities and conditions will and should be a matter of negotiation.”
Diplomatic sources have also hinted that Madrid may support a deal that would keep the relationship between Northern Ireland and the Republic, where free movement of labour and goods is guaranteed under EU rules. May’s government has so far refused to guarantee the rights of EU nationals in Britain until the rights of Brits in EU member states are also guaranteed. The House of Commons scrapped a House of Lords bid to write a commitment to EU nationals into law by rejecting the peers’ proposed amendment to the Article 50 Bill last week. It is thought that this issue will be at the top of the agenda once Brexit talks begin. May will be looking to secure an early deal on the topic after she triggers Article 50 on 29th March. Some 300,000 Brits are officially registered as living in Spain, although the actual figure is thought to be much closer to one million people.

On the run Spanish paedophile starred on X Factor A convicted paedophile who fled his native Mallorca to hide out in Liverpool was a contestant on the British musical reality show, The X-Factor, while he was wanted by Spanish police for terrible crimes against his own daughter. Manuel Pons Sánchez, who is now 46, was sentenced‘in absentia’to 23 years in jail for the horrific repeat attacks on his daughter, Natalia. He is said to have tied her to her bed, bitten her and raped her regularly from 1999, when she was six, until 2004, when she was 10. It was not until 2007 when the girl’s mother found out and reported her husband, who by that time had left the country and whose whereabouts was unknown.
Whilst an international arrest warrant was hanging over him, he lived a ‘normal life’ in Liverpool for 10 years, working as a hospital porter in Prescot, near Manchester. And two years after he went on the run, Pons Sánchez performed the U2 number ‘With or without you’ in front of Cheryl, Simon Cowell and millions of prime-time British TV viewers on The X-Factor. Cowell asked him, before he performed, what had brought him to the UK and Pons Sánchez answered that he was a waiter, joking about how he was ‘nothing like Manuel from Fawlty Towers’. “In the future, I'd like to be more famous than Manuel from Fawlty Towers,” he said during the pre-performance backstage introductions of each artist.
Pons Sánchez has finally got his wish, although not in the way he had hoped. He even went on to take part on other cult television talent shows, such as the spin-off of the original, The Xtra Factor. Despite brazenly singing in front of, potentially, 10 percent of the UK population, he still went undiscovered until last summer, when he tried to renew his passport. He was identified, arrested and swiftly deported to the Balearic Islands, where he was sentenced and is now in prison where he will stay until he is nearly 70. Although his capture was eight months ago, the fact that he starred on The X-Factor has only been revealed this week via reports in the British tabloid, The Mirror.
New tanitorio ready to open The group ASV funeral services are pleased to announce the opening of their new funeral parlour in Torrevieja. The new building includes five rooms, a chapel, a multifunctional room for personalised ceremonies, a coffee shop and a meeting area. The new facility held its open day on 30th March with a number of individuals linked to the funeral trade visiting the new premises to see exactly what’s on offer. Insurance companies and other businesses were present and the parlour was blessed by Manuel Martinez Rocamora, the parish priest of the Inmaculada church. There were also representatives from different groups and consulates including Ian Scott Davidson representing the British community who was also invited to say some words. The new building is situated on the
industrial estate Casagrande on the Avenida de Delfina Viudes. It is claimed to be an innovative design that presents a different approach to the management of funerals and greater comfort for those grieving. ‘With this new concept we want people to feel at home with their family and friends, breaking taboos and involving all generations, including children who we are seeing more and more in our centres,’ explained José Navarro the president of Funsureste from the group ASV. The building has been designed to provide a warm and close environment with areas set aside for each stage of the process along with zones for the youngest children, areas to rest and to write dedications and meet with others. This is the eighth centre in Vega Baja that the group has opened and they already have places in Orihuela, Rojales, Almoradí, Callosa, Guardamar del Segura,

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE Another losing week for the euro took it a cent lower against sterling and the US dollar. The single currency's fans could argue that it was unlucky, that it should not have worked out like that. Last Friday's provisional purchasing managers' index readings from Euroland were pretty good and should have helped the euro (they did, but not for long). Considering the political kerfuffle in Washington last Friday the dollar had a reasonably successful week, as mentioned, sharing second place with the pound behind the Canadian and Australian dollars. Donald Trump's capitulation when his healthcare bill was rejected by the House could have hurt the dollar (it did, but not for long). The prime minister's signature on her Dear John Article 50 letter to the European Council could have hurt sterling (it didn't). The coups de grâce for the euro came on Thursday, with an unexpectedly low 1.6% print
for German inflation and an unattributed message from the European Central Bank. The story there was that if investors think the ECB is preparing to raise interest rates they are barking up the wrong tree. Also at the end of last week the administration withdrew Donald Trump’s Healthcare Bill because it looked likely that it would be defeated in the House of Representatives. The feeling at the time was that if Congress was in a mood to fight the president it would prejudice the passage of upcoming legislation for tax cuts, financial deregulation and infrastructure spending, the prospect of which had made the dollar so popular at the end of last year. Yet on Monday investors put that behind them. They were more interested in the upbeat US consumer confidence data and the string of Fed bosses opining on whether there would be two three or four rate increase in total this year.

One of the first garden plants I fell in love with was Armeria maritima, better known as Sea Thrift or Sea Pink. You may know these plants from home - they can be found covering hillsides and cliffs in the west of England, where they withstand salt-laden winds, but they also do well in hot, humid coastal areas like ours. Sea thrift is a popular garden flower and the plant has been distributed worldwide as a garden and cut flower. It was like meeting an old friend when I saw a large selection of these plants at the local garden center. These strange mounds of grass-like foliage produce little crystal buds that explode into charming puffs of pink. In the wild, flowers are usually pale pink, but brighter pinks and white are available as cultivated plants. As the common names indicate, sea thrift has a fondness for sunny, salty environments, but is also at home in mountain areas. They can be found in coastal areas and mountain regions of Europe, Turkey, North Africa and the western coast of North and South America. Sea thrift is a low maintenance, drought tolerant, short lived perennial that forms a 6-12" (15-30 cm) dense clump of grass-like foliage with pink flowers rising on stalks in mid spring.
Kept deadheaded, flowering will continue throughout much of the summer. The rounded flower heads are composed of lots of tiny flowers - each of the small flowers later becoming a seed. After about four years the center of the plant dies, leaving an ugly brown patch.
for this species. The plants will rot if planted in fertile, moist soils or in heavy clay. They need full sun for most of the day, but will not mind a bit of shade during the hottest hours. Regular watering is appreciated during the heat of summer, although dryer conditions are fine for cooler times of the year. Feed only once a year with slow-release fertilizer. If given their requirements of lean, dry, well-drained soil and lots of sun, these drought tolerant plants require little maintenance. They have no serious insect or disease problems.
PROPAGATION METHODS When that happens, it is time to dig up and divide the plant which is quite easy to do. Replant one of the divisions in the spot where you dug out the original and plant the others elsewhere or give them to friends.
GENERAL CULTURE Sea thrift thrives in dry, infertile soils where few other plants can compete. Well-drained sandy or loamy soil is best
By dividing the rootball or from seed. The seeds are small pale brown drops. There are many seeds on a seedhead. Soaking Armeria seeds in warm water for 6-8 hours before sowing aids germination. Sea thrift seeds can be sown in the garden during late spring and summer months, up until two months before the first frost. Seeds that are started indoors, in early spring and kept at 60-70° F (15-21° C) will germinate in two to three weeks and bloom the first year. Marc Vijverberg

Madrid rejects Scottish model for Catalan independence Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy will continue to reject any offer of talks with the government of Catalonia about an independence referendum for the northeastern region, calling it a “demand” that would breach a principle of the Spanish Constitution, which states national sovereignty must be decided by all Spaniards. The Popular Party (PP) government’s position was reiterated recently by Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, who highlighted this Constitutional premise as the major difference with the proposals being put forward by the Scottish executive for a second independence referendum there, and which Carles Puigdemont and Oriol Junqueras – the premier and deputy premier of the regional government of Catalonia, respectively – have argued can be applied to Catalonia. Sáenz de Santamaría was responding to an article published in Spanish newspaper El Pais last weekend by Puigdemont and Junqueras. Speaking during a visit to the Canary Islands, Santamaría dismissed the initiative: “Dialogue is not what is being offered or asked for; a referendum is being demanded
that goes against the Spanish Constitution, and that would deny Spaniards as a whole their capacity to express an opinion about what they want the whole of the Spanish nation to be. It is a demand by those who have a poor understanding of dialogue in their country.” Santamaría highlighted what she sees as the key differences between Scotland and the United Kingdom and Catalonia and Spain: “The difference is that in Spain we have a Constitution in which, expressly, because that is what the electorate voted for, there is no possibility of a referendum on self-rule. At the time, some people tried to include an amendment to the Spanish Constitution so that referendums on self-rule could take place in Spain, and they failed, because no country can be subjected to the constant threat of referendums of that nature.” Government sources said that Puigdemont and Junqueras’s arguments contained nothing new, and simply made an eventual meeting with Rajoy more difficult and that by insisting on the obligation to hold a referendum simply created obstacles to proceeding in many other areas. The government is not prepared to
admit that its efforts to establish a dialogue with Catalonia have failed, but accepts that little progress has been made by Santamaría in this regard.
Rejected
Puigdemont and Junqueras’s proposals have been rejected by the opposition Socialist Party (PSOE). Spokesperson Mario Jiménez said that the ideas lacked “credibility and legitimacy because they are made on foundations that are unacceptable in a democracy” after “forcing Catalan institutions into illegality.” He added: “Dialogue is being called for from disobedience and contempt for the law and by challenging the state and launching an ultimatum at constitutional order.” The PSOE’s position calls for an overhaul of the statute governing Catalonia’s relationship with Spain, as well as Constitutional reform toward creating a federal model. This would require a vote of approval by all Spaniards. This would then lead to changes to Catalonia’s position in Spain, and above all, changes to the way the region is defined, which would mean changes to the statute that would then be voted on by Catalans.

WELCOME TO JEREZ DE LA FRONTERAwith Vivalia Travel El Puerto is considered to be the most important coast city receiving tourists from El Algarve (Portugal) to La Costa del Sol (Málaga). There are many and different characteristics that attract tourists to this city.
Jerez de la Frontera is a Spanish city and municipality in the province of Cádiz in the autonomous community of Andalusia, in southwestern Spain, situated midway between the Atlantic Ocean and the Cádiz Mountains. The city is the largest in the province, also in terms of land area and its sprawling outlying areas are a fertile zone for agriculture. There are also many cattle ranches and horse-breeding operations, as well as a world-renowned wine industry. Since 1987 the Grand Prix motorcycle racing has been held at the Circuito de Jerez in early May. On that weekend, the city welcomes tens of thousands of bikers from around the world. The same circuit has hosted several Formula 1 Grands Prix, including the 1997 final race of the season, which was marred with controversy for a notable high-profile championshipdeciding incident. Other popular festivals in the city are Feria de Jerez or the Holy Week in Jerez. Jerez is known as the city of flamenco, sherry, horses and motorcycles. In 2013, Jerez was the European Capital of Wine and 2014, it was the world's first Motorbike Capital. The economy of Jerez has traditionally been centred on the wine industry, with exports of sherry worldwide. Because it lacks the civil service that other cities enjoy, Jerez has based its economy on industry. The cultivation of fruits, grains, and vegetables and horse and cattle husbandry has also been important to the local economy. It is the home base for the Spanish Military Stud farm, the Yeguada Militar de Jerez de la Frontera.
After the wine crisis in the 1990s, the city is now seeking to expand its industrial base. Tourism has been successfully promoted. The city's strong identity as a center for wine, flamenco, and horses, its popular festivals, MotoGP hosting and its historical heritage have contributed to this success. The Toro de Osborne (Osborne bull), was created to advertise Brandy Veterano. Jerez is known as the world capital of sherry wine. Sherry is a fortified wine made from white grapes that are grown near the town of Jerez. Jerez has been a centre of viniculture since winemaking was introduced to Spain by the Phoenicians in 1100 BC. The practice was carried on by the Romans when they took control of Iberia around 200 BC. The Moors conquered the region in AD 711 and introduced distillation, which led
to the development of brandy and fortified wine. Sherry became very popular in Great Britain. Because sherry was a major wine export to the United Kingdom, many English companies and styles developed. Many of the Jerez cellars were founded by British families. Brandy de Jerez is a brandy that is produced only in the Jerez area of Andalusia, Spain (exclusively produced within the "Sherry Triangle", the municipal boundaries of Jerez de la Frontera, El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barrameda, in the province of Cádiz). Jerez is the original home of the Carthusian substrain of the Andalusian horse breed, known as the Caballo cartujano in Spain. In the latter 1400s, the Carthusian monks began breeding horses on lands donated by Álvaro Obertos de Valeto for construction of the Charterhouse of Jerez de la Frontera (la Cartuja de Jerez de la Frontera). When the Spanish Crown decreed that Spanish horse breeders should breed their Andalusian stock with Neapolitan and central European stock, the monks refused to comply,[5] and continued to select their best specimens to develop their own jealously guarded bloodline for almost four hundred years. Jerez is the home of the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, a riding school comparable to the famous Spanish Riding School of Vienna. Jerez, the city where flamenco singing began, is also proud of its Andalusian Centre of Flamenco. It was founded in 1993 to safeguard and promote the values and standards of flamenco. It is devoted to the investigation, recovery, and collection of flamencorelated historical documents, whether they are in audio, visual, or journalistic form. It also has a collection of flamenco artifacts, including musical instruments, costumes, promotional posters, sheet music, and postcards. The Centre operates a museum and library to help educate the public and serve as a resource for scholars. Its origins date back to the 18th century and it is currently considered an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO. The city of Jerez is the first motorcycling world capital. Jerez is the site of Circuito de Jerez, formerly called the Circuito Permanente de Jerez, where the annual Motorcycle Grand Prix is contested. The race course is a prime destination for Formula One teams who wish to perform off-season testing and hosted the Spanish Formula One Grand Prix between 1986 and 1990 before the race moved permanently to the Catalunya Circuit near Barcelona. Jerez also hosted the European Grand Prix in 1994 and the controversial race in 1997.

The Blind Spot I have a slight defect. Loath as I am to admit it, I have blind spot. This blind spot manifests itself in a manner, which might not be all that unusual in men. I can find nothing in the house! “A place for everything and everything in its place” is what I constantly preach. Then I satisfy myself that it isn’t where it should be, before throwing what I believe to be a perfectly justified little bit of a tantrum. At this stage I hear the dreaded “if it had teeth it would bite you” and lo and behold, the missing item comes into focus at that precise moment. I go to the hot press and all I want is one little jockey underpants. Can’t see one. Cast my eyes up and down shelves _nothing belonging to me there. What a lousy setup!. Not even a bloody underpants to be found in a man’ own house. Consider putting back on the dirty one, just for spite. Then I see the linen bag; ram one hand in after the other, bringing up nothing but fistfuls of bras. Lose the head and empty all out on the floor. I must have called out at some stage, because, just as I see the layer of nicely folded underpants on the shelf in front of me, herself arrives on the scene. Bit of humble pie to be eaten! Mrs Youcantbeserious is inside watching “Coronation Street”. I take her in a cup of tea and decide to make a sandwich for myself. Open fridge. “Nothing to make a sandwich with?” I ask in nice even tone, with just a hint of surprise and disappointment. “well, there is ham, cheese, tomatoes and the carcass of a chicken- is that not enough for you?” Five minutes later I come in and sit down beside her … cup of tea, on its own, in my hand, hoping she will notice I am sulking! “Did you
not make the sandwich?” “Nothing to eat in the fridge except a jar of olives that were “best before” 2002, I whimper. The break in Coronation Street arrives and number one rises and heads for the kitchen. Then I hear that dreaded 40* below icy voice inviting me to “come here a minute”. Lads, these are the moments in a marriage that are the bottom half of the “for better or worse” bit. When you see her standing, with the fridge door open, giving you the same look a caterpillar gets and pointing at all the things she told you were in the fridge, you resolve to be more careful in future! The fact that anything worth eating was hidden behind the milk and orange juice counts for nothing. Some years back, just in from Spain, I had a game of squash arranged with Paddy- willie-joeThe Red Flanagan. Couldn’t find pair of shorts: rang you-know-who in Spain—twice! Still finished up borrowing pair from ‘The Red’, but when I arrived back after the game, the house seemed full of squash shorts. Wife couldn’t get near me; so instead, she destroyed my good name by telling everybody in Spain the story. I cannot find essentials in the bathroom. As you know, when you need toilet paper- you need toilet paper. How annoying it is to get out of the shower, dry yourself and then no feckin comb; you yell downstairs and nobody pretends to hear you; head dries like gollywog and finally just as the curses are acknowledged, you see the comb in the bathroom, the one on the dressing-table and the one on the bedside locker. “My headache wasn’t too bad until I fruitlessly started looking for panadol, anadin or aspro” I
announced to Mrs Youcantbeserious, after she arrived in. So, I am taken gently by the hand and led to the medicine cabinet. She won’t leave it at thatoh no! Every tablet which might cure a headache has to be taken out and lined up on the table for me to have a good look at! I cannot function in the mornings until I have tea and toast, with Little Chip … even before I go for the newspaper. Boil the kettle, do the toast. Don’t believe it no Little Chip again! Out to car in huff; in to Michael Leonards. Paper and pot of Little Chip, please.” Arrive home, make tea, open Little Chip and then put it in press – beside two other jars of the same. Things got worse since I started having to use spectacles. Why, why, would anybody have nothing better to do, than moving some one else’s reading glasses? I know where I left my phone – but it’s not there now! You think I can’t be serious, because in your house, the car keys are always hanging on their hook; the firelighters beside the grate; the phone book beside the phone and you can put your hand on anything you want –“a place for everything and everything in its place”! I am going to relax by the fire now, until bedtime and try to rid myself of the stress caused by reliving all of above. My SLIPPERS, - - - Who took my feckin slippers?”!

She is being spoiled
I have aged overnight
I am having problems coping with my daughter going to my ex and his new partner. He left us two years ago after he began working for this woman. Our child was only 2 years old at the time. I want my daughter to have a relationship with her father, and I am trying very hard to be adult about it all, however this woman is quite wealthy and buys my daughter expensive gifts. She has now given her a pony for her birthday.
Since the loss of my mother, I have really gone down in health. I have noticed that physically my appearance has changed dramatically. My hair is going white and my skin looks pallid. My appetite is poor and all I want to do is put on my old comfortable clothes and stay at home. I know it is wrong but I don’t have any drive to do much else.
I do see that this is a difficult situation for you. Have you tried talking to your ex to ask that his new partner consult you and her father together, before buying your daughter expensive presents? You could say you don’t want her to become spoiled and you want to keep her grounded. To counter this influence in her life, you could generally involve your daughter in charitable activities, helping the less fortunate. This sort of thing is great for instilling humility. Remember that your daughter lives with you and you will be her main influence.
Everyone needs a period of mourning. To be caught in a slump physically is quite normal, but you must not let it continue. Decide you have only a certain period of time to feel this way, and then mark a date on your calendar to turn things around. Exercise is good, so join a class or gym. Make an appointment at the hairdressers, and buy some new clothes. Pay attention to a good, varied diet full of fresh fruit and leafy greens, and you will start to feel better. Keeping busy and occupied is the best way to cope with the stress of bereavement.

BUYING?
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST? Everything comes at a price. Nothing is free. And the same goes when buying your perfect dream home in Spain. The Spanish taxman loves it when you find your new home in Spain, as this is how the Government makes a big chunk of their revenue, through property sales. When budgeting to purchase your future home, you need to allow for costs and incidentals on top of the purchase price, to be able to walk away knowing that the house will be legally yours. Purchasing a property here without a mortgage, you need to allow approximately 13% on top of the agreed price. Here’s a quick summary of how the cost is broken down. 1. Property transfer tax (Stamp Duty). When buying a resale property, the tax amount is 10% of the purchase price, i.e. Price of property €100,000 x 10% = €10,000. 2. Notary and Land Registry fees are a percentage of the purchase price. However allowing €1,000 on a purchase price of €100,000 will be enough to cover these two fees together. For those who are unfamiliar with Notarial services, these are Government appointed people that draw up the Title Deeds. They are independent, and don’t work for the buyer or seller. 3. Don’t try to cut corners to save money, on one of your biggest investments of your life. Use a local Lawyer to do the conveyancing. The cost should be less than €1,000, even if you are purchasing with a mortgage. If you choose to use a Lawyer out of Spain, they will charge you a lot more than this. They will do exactly the same job, but you will end up paying more than you should. 4. Paying for the property by Spanish Bankers

Draft is the safest way to go. But they do come at a price. The banks charge a percentage of the amount on the cheque, but they are negotiable. One way they can be negotiated, is by taking out insurance with the bank too. This is an offer the banks like to make, but you must have your negotiating skills at the ready! An example of allowing 13% on top of your purchase price would look like this: Estimated Purchase Price: €100,000 x 13% = €13,000 Total: €113,000 Buying a property here is pretty straightforward, however you do need to allow for those extra costs. If you are purchasing with a mortgage, then allowing 15% on top of the price should be enough. So when you purchase your dream home here in sunny Spain, leave yourself enough room to cover your legal costs on top of the purchase price. If you don’t pay, they won’t go away! Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough!See our advert in the centre pages of this newspaper. www.homes4u.es

Maigret’s Dead Man 7.1 Rowan Atkinson, Ian Puleston‐Davies
Tommy O’Neill, Daniel Caltagirone & Andreas Karras Friday afternoon in North London, Jack makes one final bet at the bookies. He goes all in for a treble win ‐ A risky gamble at best ‐ but in the event his horse wins all three races, Jack and his friends are set to net a small fortune. When it looks as though the odds are finally turning in Jack’s favour, there is a sudden vested interest in his betting slip. Jack must do everything within his power to keep his betting slip out of harm’s way and rightfully claim his winnings.
& Dorottya Hair
One February morning, an agitated man calls the Police judiciaire asking for Maigret. He claims he’s being followed by someone trying to kill him. Before Maigret can get the details he hangs up, calls back again from various cafés, until the calls finally stop. That night, his body is found, his face badly beaten, stabbed to death.
Bitter Harvest 6.6 Max Irons, Terence Stamp & Tamer Hassan Set between the two World Wars and based on true historical events, Bitter Harvest conveys the untold story of the Holodomor, the genocidal famine engineered by the tyrant Joseph Stalin.

Galapagos BBC1 - 10.00pm
Liz Bonnin joins a scientific team aboard the research vessel the Alucia on an expedition across the Galapagos Islands. The team set off beneath the waves to explore this spectacular archipelago. It is an exciting opportunity for the team to delve into a world that still largely remains a mystery to science. Venturing down in the Nadir, a specially equipped deep sea submersible, Liz goes in search of an elusive ocean giant, the mola, or sunfish, to understand more about its little-known behaviour. On the way back to the Alucia, Liz checks in on a playful sea lion population to see how they have been affected by a recent extreme weather event, El Nino. Back on board the Alucia, the team sets sail north for the most remote and inhospitable islands in the Galapagos - Wolf and Darwin. Here, Liz joins the team tagging and tracking hammerhead sharks that school at this location in huge numbers as they try to unlock the secrets of this stunning behaviour.

MOVIE picks Battleship -Taylor Channel 4 - 9.00 pm Kitsch, Liam Neeson and Alexander Skarsgård star in Peter Berg’s alien-invasion sci-fi action movie. Six years after Nasa beamed a powerful signal to an Earth-like planet outside our solar system, we get a response. But the extraterrestrials don’t send a message: they come calling, landing five huge amphibious spacecraft in the Pacific, just as a US/Japanese naval exercise has begun. The visitors initially just seem wary, but after a panicked reaction from our warships, they reassess humans as hostile and respond ferociously. And so it falls to hot-headed US Navy officer Lieutenant Alex Hopper, his older brother Commander Stone Hopper and commander of the fleet Admiral Shane to try to defeat a threat that is greater than they first think.

Reach Out success Another successful venture by ‘Reach Out’ and the Marina Bar, Calle de las Rosas, Torrevieja, took place on Saturday the 25th. March. The ‘Posh Nosh’ event swung into action starting with canapes and champers and the event, organised by Reach Out volunteers David and Lorraine Whitney, exceeded expectations and raised a more tan 300 euros for the charity. With a two course meal, fun, games and music from the ever popular Covers Brothers the afternoon was a huge success. Bingo, a Tombola, Raffle and quiz all with prizes plus gifts for the glitziest woman and best dressed man, all ensured the event was thoroughly enjoyed by all
who attended. A special thank you goes to the Covers Brothers for their charitable support and also to hairdressers ‘Kelly's Cuts’ in Torrevieja for its donation of a prize gift voucher.

‘PAWSOME’ DOG SHOW
www.costablancapeople.com
Busy time for Footwork Dance
Best in Show category. Inset picture: Blind Max What a fido fun fest the Little Pod Association’s fourth Dog Show was, with 80 dogs entered and many others going along to learn the ropes for next time. The sun shone and a magnificent sum of 2,430 euros was raised for the animal charity. At a new venue of El Rancho, Los Montesinos it was the perfect setting with lots of space for the four-legged friends to run round and ample car parking for their owners. Nikki G did a superb job of hosting the event and making sure the show flowed and compared each category with a great sense of fun and humour adding to the enjoyment of the occasion. There was a wide range of things to see and do; craft stalls with everything from doggie treats to handmade birthday cards. The ever popular Tombola and raffle had a wealth of prizes to be won. Not forgetting the delicious homemade jams and marmalade which flew off the Little Pod stall. Lots of treats were enjoyed by visitors both human and canine and helped to boost the coffers.

The dogs provided entertainment too! Especially in the musical mats class where ‘fluffy boy’ Theo thought he would cheat and carry the mat around with him. He left the audience laughing out loud as he walked around with it in his mouth, making sure he would always land on a mat. Categories included the cutest tailless dog in the ‘waggiest tail’ category. Also the sweet singing dog, Ruby, who became shy when introduced to a microphone by Nikki G. The Reserve in Show was awarded to Max a gorgeous blind doggie and an amazing deaf, 15 year old came third in the Prettiest Girl class. Not forgetting Little Pod’s Scooby who is presently in foster but really needs a permanent home, and who came second in the Perkiest Pensioner class – and 14 year old Loba who was placed 2nd in Best Rescue with her foster mum Julie.

Students with the examiner Miss Elizabeth Harris After the very successful Christmas show, ‘Roll Out the Dance Floor’ which played to a sell out audience, it has been possible from the proceeds of the ticket sales which were donated to Los Montesinos Social Services, to purchase several wheel chairs and other aids for local people in need of assistance. However, there is no time for the students to rest on their laurels and it has been back to the studio for all the students. On the 12th March, International Dance Teachers Association examiner Miss Elizabeth Harris was flown in from the UK headquarters to carry out examinations for Ballet, Tap and Gymnastic Dance. The IDTA is a leading dance qualification body with over 7000 members in over 55 countries, defining standards across the widest variety of dance forms. They examine performance for both professional and non-profes-
sionals of all ages, developing skills and professional practice to promote the love of dance. To prove dance is for everyone and you never stop learning, the ages of the students taking the examinations ranged from just 3 years old to 74. Over the past few years the success rate has been high and the students now have to wait a few weeks for the results. Examinations over, preparations are already underway for the “Summer Review” at the Casa de Cultura y Musica Los Montesinos on Sunday 23rd July, again proceeds from ticket sales will help the under privileged of Los Montesinos.

Brexit effect on the Costas
The United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union will leave winners and losers in Brussels. The cost of “Brexit,” as the process is known, will be greater in some countries than in others, depending of course on how the negotiations progress. However, in the heart of the member states there will also be differences. An internal report from the Spanish government looking at the consequences of Brexit has found that the regions in Spain that will be most affected by the process include here in the Community of Valencia, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands and Murcia, “due to their exposure to British tourism and other key sectors.” Along with tourism, the report concludes that the other most-affected sectors will be the automotive, and pharmaceutical industries as well as agribusiness. The effects of Brexit on Spain will be diverse. Murcia and Melilla, for example, could end up receiving lower funding from the EU, given that the UK’s exit will reduce the bloc’s per capita income. Even so, the Spanish administration is not predicting much of an impact on this front. In terms of tourism, the document that has been signed by several ministries and the Spanish embassies in the EU and London suggest that the places that receive the greatest number of British tourists are the Canary Islands (a third of the total), Valencia region (15.8 percent), the Balearics (13 percent) and Catalonia (10.7 percent). What’s more, the Canary Islands could be affected by changes
caused by Brexit in terms of the financing of so-called “ultra-peripheral regions.” The document calls on the government to try to maintain the “current parameters” relating to support policies for regions such as the Canary Islands, which are located off the northwestern coast of Africa. Brexit may also have a notable effect on agriculture and fishing in Spain. Traditionally, the United Kingdom has been highly critical of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy and the funds destined to it. “The exit of the United Kingdom should favor the defense of [Spanish] interests,” the text reads. Even so, the effect could be a fall in exports: the United Kingdom is a major importer in sectors such as fruit and vegetables, olive oil, meat products, wine and other beverages. Spain is expecting “a rise in nontariff barriers,” with the establishment of new health controls, which could end up affecting the Spanish regions where this activity is concentrated. The same situation is forecast for the fishing industry. “The withdrawal of the United Kingdom will affect the activity of the Spanish fleet.” The problem will lie with 80 Spanish boats that currently fish in British waters. To solve the problem, Spain will look to “negotiate a bilateral fishing agreement between the EU and the United Kingdom.” But Brexit will also affect the part of the British fleet owned by Spanish capital. There are around 40 boats that belong to Galician entrepreneurs, the document explains, who could lose their status as part of the community fleet.

Mission accomplished! On a recent sunny Sunday, Costa Blanca residents Nick Moore and Dennis Carpenter jumped from a plane at 4000 metres - and raised more than 2, 600 euros, for four animal rescue centres. The brave duo were both jumping for the first time and both describe the fall as the most thrilling experience of their lives. Nick said: “I wouldn’t say it was lifechanging exactly, but there is definitely a before and after when you do a
parachute jump.” Donations came from all over the UK and locally in Spain and funds raised will help care for abandoned animals in the Costa Blanca region in the care of ASOKA in Orihuela and Los Infiernos Supporters and Annette Crittell’s Tranquila Para Animales both in Murcia. Nick added: “The fight to care for these animals continues. Everyone can help by making sure their animals are chipped
and neutered and never buying from pet shops. Adopt don’t shop.”

Early spring hayfever hell Hayfever sufferers could find the start of spring brings sneezing fits, especially in the south, north-east and centre of Spain. The pollen count is expected to be high over the next few weeks for banana trees, with Andalucía, Catalunya, Extremadura, Aragón and Madrid being the main affected areas. About eight million people in Spain suffer from hayfever – to a level which requires treatment, even if only over-the-
counter medication – and those whose condition is worsened by high pollen counts has risen in 10 years from 22 percent to 33percent. Olive trees, cypress and bananas are among those which are most likely to spark allergic reactions, although fortunately for those on the Mediterranean, orange trees seem less of an aggravating factor. But it's not as bad as it sounds, says the Spanish Allergy Society (SEAIC): last
spring was much more intense in terms of pollen levels than that of 2017 is expected to be. Still, for those living in the cities and provinces of Sevilla, Jaén, Madrid, Barcelona and Zaragoza, this may be cold comfort, as they are already dealing with the effects of very high pollen levels. Measured in grams per cubic metre of air, the worst count in the whole of Spain is in Madrid, at a whopping 2.32 kilos. Canary Islanders are unlikely to encounter any problems, whilst those in the centre of the mainland and on the Mediterranean, including the Balearics, may have the odd sneezing fit, but are not expected to suffer too greatly. Allergies are tending to linger yearround these days, says Dr Miguel Moral of the SEAIC – largely thanks to the ongoing drought, and the ever-increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which are a symptom of modern urban life. This means hayfever patients barely have time to recover from one outbreak before the next comes along. Dr Moral explains which trees to avoid most, and when, for those who have hayfever. Banana trees tend to pollinate in mainland Spain in the second half of March and the first half of April, and although they flourish best in areas closest to the tropics, they are often planted in large cities to provide shade in summer. Cypress trees also pollinate around the same time, and are particularly denselyclustered in the provinces of Lleida, Sevilla, and Toledo in Castilla-La Mancha. Generally, according to the SEAIC's ‘pollen map’, early spring will be easiest for hayfever sufferers anywhere on the coast except in Andalucía, relatively problemfree in the Canaries and a sheer nightmare in Extremadura. Pet misery Given that ‘we have more and more pets these days’, Dr Moral says owners should carefully watch their dogs, cats and even hamsters for signs they are suffering. Vets normally prefer not to treat animals with mild to moderate hayfever reactions, since it is healthier for them to build up an immunity and ill-advised to give them regular drugs that they may develop a resistance to over time. But older animals, especially those with respiratory troubles, and those who are clearly in constant discomfort or distress should be taken to the vet for an injection. As for humans, the SEAIC says hayfever sufferers should keep a daily check on pollen counts on the internet, and avoid going out into the countryside or driving with the windows down on high-risk days, staying at home with the windows closed – but ventilating the house once a day at around midday – and, if they are forced to go outside, to wear sunglasses.

Dave from La Mata asks: Hi Aunty, I have just had the sprogs out for a visit and was told I was “not backing up properly”. I scan with Malawarebytes, Superantispyware and Avast weekly all at the same time. I've done it this way for 7 years and never had a problem. Is this just luck or are my Know-it-All sprogs correct? Aunty Says: Hi Dave. With those 3 programs you most certainly have enough security coverage going on, but scanning with Malwarebytes, Superantivirus and Avast has nothing to do with “backing up” your computer! A simple form of backup would be making a copy of your valuable personal files, such as photos & documents, onto a USB stick (or USB hard drive if you have a lot) just incase something should happen to your computer. As a side note Dave I would strongly recommend not running your 3 different scans at the same time as most of these apps like/need exclusive access to your Windows system files so they can thoroughly check for any unwanted visitors. Anna via email asks: Hello Aunty My trusty old Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop has recently started showing a flashing orange light above the keyboard (which I believe is the battery symbol) and I keep getting very annoying messages that the battery needs to be replaced. The laptop works fine but will only turn on if it’s plugged into the mains so I am guessing the battery is kaput. I have never used
the laptop on battery power as it has been on my desk and connected to the wall socket since I unpacked it so how could the battery have worn out? I have been told different stories by two different shops that I must leave the battery in or the laptop won’t work and also that I could damage the laptop if I continue to use it on a faulty battery. I was quoted nearly €100 to have one fitted which is out of my budget and although I love the Dell it must be getting on for 6 years old. Am I safe carrying on as I have been (if I can put up with the error messages) Thanks for all your help. Aunty Says: Hello Anna. On Dell laptops a flashing orange light normally indicates a duff battery but no harm will come from continuing as you are. If you’re only ever using it on mains power then you could pop the battery out which will get rid of the error message. Flip the laptop over and you should see a spring loaded catch plus maybe a lock catch that you simply slide and lift the battery out. Because of how you are using your laptop, plus its age, I personally would take it to a proper battery recycling bin and I wouldn’t bother replacing it. However a battery for your laptop is around €25 from www.portatilbateria.es and fitting one takes around 15 seconds so if you do decide to replace it don’t get tricked. Well that’s all for this week folks, do email me your problems to auntyvirus@costablancapeople.co m and I will see what I can do.

Cars in Spain fail emission targets Between December 2015 and August 2016, Spain’s Industry Ministry tested the exhaust emissions of 16 of the country’s leading diesel vehicles. All of them had higher nitrous oxide (NOx) levels when driven on the road than those permitted by the European Union (EU). There is a discrepancy between the values obtained [in a laboratory] and those obtained through real driving,” reads the ministry’s report. Until now, passing a laboratory test was sufficient for a car maker to sell a diesel vehicle in Spain, but from September, the EU will introduce road testing as well. The EU was shaken by the Volkswagen emissions scandal in 2015: the German car maker had installed software on the computers on its diesel vehicles to register lower emissions levels when connected to a laboratory computer. Several countries then agreed to carry out road tests on vehicles they had approved. Spain said it would analyse 30 models. But in the end, only 16 were checked, between 2015 and 2016; the government says it lacked the funding to test all 30. The report, which was reported in Spanish newspaper El Pais, concludes that the 16 vehicles it road tested all had higher emissions levels than those registered when analysed in a laboratory. The diesel vehicles road tested by the Industry Ministry – from manufacturers Seat, Ford, Nissan, Volvo and Ssangyong – all had EU NOx limits that were between 1.8 and 12.6 times higher than permitted. The ministry wrote to Nissan and Ssangyong, all of whose diesel vehicles registered significantly higher NOx emissions levels than allowed by law. The car makers recognised that “due to safety reasons in line with European regulations, some contaminating devices are
deactivated when the ambient temperature is not within certain margins.” This answer was accepted, although the ministry notes in its report that “greater clarity on the part of the European Commission would be desirable regarding the conditions of use of said devices.” The report also notes that the Spanish government will now require car makers to clarify the conditions under which “the activation and deactivation of emissions control devices” are produced. In December, Brussels opened infringement proceedings against Spain for failing to take action against Volkswagen and asked for a report on the NOx emissions of a number of brands. Madrid refused to publish the report on the 16 vehicles until it was obliged to do so after NGOs Ecodes and Transport and Environment filed a request under Spain’s freedom of information legislation. Dissatisfied But Brussels is not satisfied with the report, suspecting that Madrid is not collaborating fully, say EU sources, and
may well demand a second. The European Commission says that so far, only the reports submitted by Germany and the United Kingdom, which cover hundreds of pages, meet its requirements. Spain’s report was just 34 pages. The Spanish Industry Ministry’s report concludes that none of the vehicles it road tested “showed any sign of having a deactivation device.” Spanish car maker Seat, which is part of the Volkswagen group, said on Tuesday that three of the vehicles checked by the Spanish Industry Ministry, the Seat Leon 2.0 TDI 125 KW, the Seat Altea 1.6 TDI 77 KW the Seat Leon FR 2.0 TDI 110 KW are fitted with illegal software that produces fraudulent emissions tests. The three vehicles are approved by the Spanish authorities, despite producing “NOx during the tests that are between two and four times higher” than the limits established by EU law. In the wake of the Volkswagen scandal, Seat said that it would remove the socalled Defeat Device and has done so to around half the 700,000 vehicles affected.

Tesla delivers record 25,000 cars in first quarter Electric car maker Tesla delivered a record 25,000 vehicles in the first quarter, up 69 percent from the same period last year. Tesla announced recently that it delivered about 13,450 Model S cars and about 11,550 Model X SUVs. Another 4,650 vehicles were being transported to customers at the end of the quarter and will be included in second-quarter deliveries. Production in the first quarter totaled 25,418 vehicles, also a record. Tesla posted its first profit in three years in the third quarter of 2016, but it followed that with a $121m (ÂŁ96m) loss in the fourth quarter. Analysts expect another loss for the first quarter. Sunday's report indicated Tesla was on track to hit its forecast of 47,000 to 50,000 deliveries in the first half of 2017. CEO Elon Musk said recently that the Palo Alto-based company would produce 5,000 cars a week later this year after production begins in July on the new Model 3. At $35,000, the Model 3 will cost about half as much as the lowest-price Model S. It will also be simpler and easier to make, with more automation during production. Analysts say the Model 3, possibly along with other new vehicles including a small SUV, could significantly increase Tesla's sales volumes. Expectations for the Model 3 have helped drive Tesla shares up by 30pc since the start of the year.

Tales from the Top Flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com
Whoa, whoa, whoa Chelsea. What’s that all about, hey? We’ve already wrapped up this Premier League title thank you very much. The bookmakers have (probably) paid out, all my writing peers have called it a done deal and even all the other managers are looking at second place as the new prize. Don’t go throwing it away now, please. I doubt Conte is exactly warming up the Kevin Keegan meltdown routine just yet, Chelsea may have lost to Palace but there is no need to panic. Wilf Zaha was on fire, Southgate must be close to calling up for England now. Sorry, that ship has what? As for Christian Benteke, never before have I seen such an appalling touch and such a sublime touch in the same move. The win, obviously, is a huge win for Palace and maybe, just maybe will insert some vigour back into the chasing pack at the top? The door is slightly ajar for Tottenham right now, and they once again showed they have a fair bit of ‘character’ by going to Turf Moor and leaving with three points firmly tucked away in their back pocket. Burnley had the 6th best home record in the land before Dele Alli and his boys turned up. Even without Harry Kane, Spurs win matches. Who’d have thought that were possible? Even with Alli missing an open goal from seven yards, Spurs win matches. I know,
the form of champions hey?
way past Atletico in Europe.
I presume everyone has sent in a written apology to Leicester’s owners by now? They certainly deserve one. Leicester were shaky at the start of the season, but now they are properly Shakey as Craig Shakespeare is bound to be the next English manager to
The less said about Manchester United and WBA the better. Draws at Old Trafford are a regular thing, yet this time Ben Foster didn’t need to have the game of his life. United, injury riddled,
their drab-of-drabbest 0-0. Oh, and Gold and Sullivan thought giving Slaven the old vote of confidence was a good thing to do. Seriously, will they ever learn?
Andy Carroll
Ben Foster
Craig Shakespeare
promise to be amazing before ending up managing somewhere in the Championship. Kante may have been one hell of a player for the champions last season, but I don’t remember him smashing many in from 30 yards. His replacement, N’Didi, did indeedy. Yeah I know. Shameless. Still, it was a fine goal and Vardy was on the scoresheet once more. Don’t write off Leicester finding a
were tame and slinging high balls into the box where WBA typically hide about six 6ft 2in defenders is far from the wisest tactic. The draw leaves United dreaming, rather than believing in Champions League football via a top four finish. Arsenal were in a rare case of showing some mettle this weekend. I know, whatever next? If they play like that too often, they are in severe danger of the board announcing that deal Wenger signed back in December. Twice behind
against City, behind in standard Arsenal fashion I might add, the Gunners came back and got the game level. A point helped neither side in terms of the league places, but the point might have given Arsenal and their fans some hope of a decent end to the season. Of course, we all know they will lose to West Ham midweek. Speaking of the Hammers, does slipping into a relegation battle show up on Lady Brady’s profit-and-loss analysis? It seems quite simple for West Ham, launch it into the big man and Andy Carroll will score you goals. Stop doing that and the opposition will score more than you. It was a huge win for Hull, which keeps them believing in Premier League football next season. They played with a desire to remain in the league that neither Middlesbrough or Swansea were able to demonstrate in
There was a Merseyside derby to kick the weekend off, and even though Everton were not in the top six at the start of play, Klopp’s boys still managed to put in the kind of performance they normally reserve for their nearest league rivals. Everton who, incredibly, were the most in form side of 2017, were meek and rolled over for the city neighbours. Liverpool now face teams in the lower half of the table to finish their season, so I am backing them to finish 8th. Bournemouth drew 0-0 with Southampton and managed to miss a penalty to boot. As for Sunderland, I might actually get a prediction right this year. Pickford in goal is alright. Defoe up front is also alright. It’s the rest of them in between that are a mess. Do you remember when Januzaj was likened to Ryan Giggs? Well, unless he is getting a little too close to his brother’s wife I cannot see any resemblance whatsoever. Watford got the win, which moves them closer to safety. So, going into a midweek round of games, Chelsea have a seven point lead at the top. They won’t throw this away, will they? Imagine Conte’s reaction if they did. Actually, imagine Jose’s if they did!
EUROGOLF AND TOFFS
Las Ramblas
I have been a member of Eurogolf for over 20 years and in all that time I’ve never known a season when we have had to cancel the competition due to the weather conditions as many times as this season. Last Thursday there was a heavy mist/fog over the golf course making it impossible to see your ball hence we were not able to play. However On Tuesday 28th March over 70 players took part in the Toffs stableford competition and the results were cat 1 (016) 1st George McCallum 36 2nd John Barraclough 34 3rd Fred Reeve 34 Cat 2 (17-21) 1st John Kirkwood 39 2nd Steve Sayers 37 3rd David Blanchette 35 Cat 3 (22-25) 1st John Holland 36 2nd Geoff Evans 34 3rd John Cross 33 Cat 4 (26+) 1st Kevin Bonser 36 2nd Norman Woods 34 3rd Terry Glazier 33 Overall winner John Kirkwood Best guest David Bryce Best front 9 Dave Nichols 20 Best back 9 Ray Porter 20 NTP´s 5th Steve Sayers 11th Kevin Bonser 12th in 2 George McCallum 15th John Barraclough 17th Eamonn Divine Football draw John Hill John Kirkwood Tony Stanley Colin Daye-
Monday we played best 2 from 4 all on the par 5's. The winning team were Geoff Biggerstaff, Rod Doel, Dave Pulling and Benedicte Kruse with a good score of 100 pts. The secret of their success was 34 points on the par 5's. Wednesday we had our Pairs Trophy and the “top team” expected to come in with a good score were in fact disqualified for not marking their card correctly! The winners, picture attached, were Maria Oldenziel and John Drakesmith with a score of 44 pts. And 2nd on a count back were Dave Pulling and Mike Mahony also with 44 pts. 3rd were Olga Douglas and Dougie Wright 41pts. 2's Club; Geoff Biggerstaff, Lindsay Forbes, Dougie Wright, Peter Radcliffe, Nick Campbell, Terry Field and Hendrick Oldenziel.

The Members Golf Society Almost 40 members and a couple of guests made their way across the city of Alicante to play the final rounds of our Order of Merit and Player of the month Competitions. The Winners of these will be presented with their Trophies at our A.G.M. on the 12/4/17 at La Marquesa where light refreshments will be available to our members. Back to today’s competition, the course was in good condition except for some of the greens,
one can imagine that this damage was caused by the recent storms in Alicante but it must be said that the green keeping staff have done a fantastic job in getting back to near its best so soon. It seems that the conditions proved to be perfect for the lower handicappers of the Society, 36 points was needed to secure 3rd place (Bob Watson), and German member Gerd Cromm was 2nd with 38 points and Swedish member Norbert Spaniol 1st
with 39 points. Silver category, 1st Sverre Sonesen 33 points, 2nd Alex Alm 31 points and 3rd Alan Rickers 30 points. Bronze category was won by Treasurer Alex Goslan, 36 points. 2nd Lars Jernberg 35 points and 3rd John Hillier 34 points. Best visitor S. Svensen 29 points. Ian Sutehall and Alex Goslan shared the €32 contained in the pot hole 3 and 17 respectively. N.T.P.’s hole 3 John Hillier, hole 6 Norbert Spaniol, hole 8 Natalia

On the 29th March we fished the 13th and penultimate round of the Winter Series at the Embalsa de Argos, this match was transferred from Murcia due to the problems with the road still being muddy and impassable. Spring is now here, today I heard the Cuckoo for the first time this year and also saw Swifts flying above, it was a glorious day and the fishing was
good. Dave Hoare won the match with 34.560kgs, fishing his favourite method of pellet up in the water and taking approx thirty seven Barbel, and also making it a double win for the week.

Well, since Andy Murray let all that success and a Knighthood go to his head GB tennis needs a new person to lump all the pressure on. Step up Johanna Konta, your time is now. Her win against former world number one Caroline Wozniacki in the final of the Miami Open shows that she now has the mentality to go far in a tournament. Which means, of course, her Wimbledon will be living hell. Good luck Johanna, I have a feeling Andy will be grateful to have someone to spread the load. Many, many years ago English cricketers represented their country and, wait for it, their county. In fact, their county took priority. Imagine that? Well, with the County Cricket season getting underway next Friday, all those tens of people that actually still watch the county
game will get to see the like of James Anderson and Alastair Cook. Incredible. I have a sneaky feeling that even if Cook gets a duck every time he plays for Essex between now and the first Test, he will still be opening the batting for England.
almost as if rugby, a generation later than every other popular sport, has realised that more matches might lead to more revenue which will lead to their pockets being lined. Who cares about the players, I mean they are mere commodities. The boat race went ahead despite a bomb being found in the Thames. Yeah, that sounds slightly more dramatic than it actually was. It turns out the bomb was an old WWII bomb that has probably been there for every single boat race since the war ended. Still, even with that drama Oxford won which is more than their football team did at Wembley. I know I rarely mentioned football in this column, but I really dislike Oxford United and they are never going to get mentioned in Tales from the Top Flight as they’d need to be, well, in the top flight.
Leading rugby coaches are worried that the changes to the rugby calendar could well lead to player burnout. It’s
It’s the Grand National next Saturday. Put your pension on Raz de Maree. Yeah, you heard it here last.

Video technology La Marina Golf Society proves its worth France 0 – Spain 2 – in Paris This so-called ‘friendly’ international assumed an importance way beyond its result, as video technology, sanctioned for use by FIFA for this fixture, provided Spain with the justice their play earned. The goalless first half saw Spain mainly in charge, though we did see occasional flashes of brilliance from the much-acclaimed youngster Mbappe, and France looked dangerous when they counterattacked. Iniesta, however, was his usual commanding presence, and Isco, Koke and Carvajal all put in a lot of good work. Early in the second period France started to look more menacing, and when Atletico’s Griezmann headed in from close range, the German referee had no hesitation in awarding a goal. His decision was instantly overturned by the video-
referee, demonstrating that the ‘goal’ was, in fact, offside. Soon afterwards, Spain brought on Delofeu to replace Koke. He was brought down in the area, and video evidence confirmed the referee’s penalty decision. Silva (who had replaced Iniesta) duly stroked the ball home. But that wasn’t the end of it – when Delofeu fired in from a cross, the linesman raised his flag for offside. The man up in the stands again intervened, and the goal stood. 0-2. For those who believed that the technology would cause too much delay, the time added at the end of the game was 5 minutes – by no means an unusual length of added time. We must hope that now football will follow rugby, tennis and cricket to name but three sports, in bringing the game up to date. Malcolm Palmer
We met at the beautiful Font de Llop course to compete for the above trophy, kindly sponsored each year by optician group Optica Optima. As usual the competition was played under Texas Scramble rules on a Stableford basis. The range of scores was fairly close with only 5 points separating the teams, no doubt a result of the wonderful weather conditions and a course in pristine
condition. Winners on count-back with a score of 47 points was the team of Gary Garbett, Jeff Wiszniewski, Geoff Ettridge and Pete "the Fish" Stevenson. Nearest the pin winners were Barry Thorogood (twice), Gary Garbett and John Thompson. Our next meeting is at BonAlba on 13th April ,tee-off time 11.32 ,green fee with buggy 40 Euros.
For those who wish to play the sheet is on the board at the Sports Centre or contact Alan Craig on 965077204 or 634347788 or by e-mail. The draw for the annual match-play tournament is also on the board together with the rules for that competition. Finally many thanks to Helena and Paola for the food they provided on Thursday.

La Vila Rugby Club Loud victory of the villagers against Tecnidex Valencia by 76-7 in the Stadium of Villajoyosa in the last day of the regular league of Division of Honor B. Despite the early trial of Yves Kepse for the visiting team in the first minute, the 12 tries by the Joneses proved once again how complicated it is to face the leader of group B in the field of the swamp, adding also the reduced staff of Alberto Socias regarding number, since only 16 players could attend.

Lewis pulls the Trigger After their defeat in Silla last weekend, manager Pedreño was resolute that his side would get back to winning ways in this home fixture against 8th placed Torre Levante. His outburst in Silla meant that he had to sit in the stands, but the training and planning throughout the week had his masterful hand all over it. He deployed Dani Salazar to contain the usually irrepressible Ruben Suarez and Dani did the job perfectly, never far from his quarry and pouncing upon the little magician every time he received the ball. Eventually Suarez was substituted with frustration etched all over his face. Pedreño also had to adapt his line up with Martin suspended, Lewis Allen suffering from a knock and Beltran still struggling to recover from his injury. The back four were magnificent, working as a unit, covering for each other and tackling with fierce intent. In midfield
they were matched by the dogged determination of Duran, whilst Borja Mir was ever willing to run into space, hassle defenders and make sure Torre Levante had no time to play in a composed manner. Pastor returned to the line up after his illness and as usual he was committed to the cause.
of fans, as well as his team mates who smothered him with congratulation and affection. It was an exquisite strike, from a player who always gives 100% and it won three extremely valuable points. This was all the more vital as Bunol also won 1-0 and stay locked level with Torry, both now on 32 points.
The first half featured a spectacular last ditch well timed tackle from Calzado to deny Reyes a golden chance, but at the other end, Torry were working hard to find that key breakthrough. Borja Mir anticipated a back pass and sprinted purposefully after the ball, only the lightning quick reaction of Kilian in the visitor goal denying him a super opportunistic goal. Another slick Torry move finished with Molina scooping the ball wide of the target when the build up play deserved a winning finish.
Almazora lost at Muro and they are the next visitors to the Nelson Mandela on Thursday 13 April which will feature a 5.30 kick off. Presently Almazora are 2 points ahead of Torry, so another home win could be very telling. Before that though, Torry travel to Elche to play Ilicitano, excellent winners at Alzira on Sunday and in top form. At this stage the game is scheduled for a 6pm start on Sunday at the Manuel Martínez Valero stadium, but keep an eye on the club website for full details closer to the event www.clubdeportivotorrevieja.com.
The second half was even more tense
Lewis pulls the trigger
as defences remained vigilant and unrelenting. Lewis was summoned to add more sparkle to Torry's attacks and immediatley he did just that, forcing his way down the right flank and worrying the opposition greatly. He slotted into midfield and did his fair share of graft, picking up a caution for a meaningful tackle, this time on the other side of the park closer to his own goal. With his pace and purpose, Torry began to be the more incisive. Molina did not get enough on a lovely Vicente cross and then a superb through ball by Lewis saw Borja Mir's shot saved by the foot of Kilian. Torry were pressing powerfully, knowing that three points were important to ensure they stayed out of the relegation quartet. As the game entered into time added on Pastor chased a crossfield ball down the right. He did his trademark cut back
The Line up
and immediately realised that Lewis had advanced with him. He slid the ball into the path of Lewis who needed no other invitation, pulling the trigger and firing the ball high into the net to the delight

IAAF hacked amid Tiger Woods: Masters too early for four-time champion's return fears athletes' information compromised The IAAF says it has been hacked by the 'Fancy Bears' group and fears that athletes' therapeutic use exemption (TUE) data has been compromised. The athletics’ world governing body was notified last month but it is unaware whether information was stolen. Athletes who have applied for a TUE were contacted yesterday. IAAF president Lord Coe said: “Our first priority is to the athletes who have provided information they believed would be secure and confidential.” His statement added: “They have our sincerest apologies and our total commitment to continue to do everything in our power to remedy the situation and work with the world's best organisations to create as safe an environment as we can.” The IAAF revealed that ‘the presence of unauthorised remote access to the IAAF network by the attackers was noted on 21 February’. Russian group 'Fancy Bears' first hacked the World Anti-Doping agency (Wada) database on 13 September
last year and began revealing athletes' confidential details and information regarding TUEs - which let athletes take prohibited substances if there is a medical need. US Olympic stars were targeted in the first hack, before Mo Farah, Helen Glover and Justin Rose were among the British athletes who had their medical files made public by the hackers. Sir Bradley Wiggins has also faced scrutiny following the leak of his medical records in September 2016.
Four-time champion Tiger Woods has confirmed he will not be fit for next week's Masters and has not put a timetable on his return. The American, 41, winner of 14 majors, has not played since withdrawing from the Dubai Desert Classic on 3 February with ongoing back spasms. This year marks the 20th anniversary of his first Masters win and he said: "I did about everything I could to play." Woods also missed the 2014 and 2016 Masters tournaments because of injury. He won the last of his 14 major titles at the US Open in June 2008 and has since had surgery on his knee and back. After an absence of 17 months, he returned to the PGA Tour in January but missed the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open after rounds of 76 and 72 and was injured again after an opening round of 77 in Dubai the following week. "My back rehabilitation didn't allow me the time to get tournament ready," Woods said in a statement on his website. "I'm especially upset because it's a special anniversary for me that's filled with a lot of great memories. "I have no timetable for my return, but I will continue my diligent effort to recover, and want to get back out there as soon as possible." Woods said he would still be at Augusta National's clubhouse on Tuesday for the annual Champions Dinner ahead of the year's opening major, which starts on Thursday.
Analysis A BBC golf pundit said: “Woods has been struggling with back injuries for quite some time now. There was an awful lot of optimism that this would be the year he would make a successful comeback to competitive golf. “But having played only three rounds before succumbing to yet more back problems, no surprise he has not managed to make it in time for what is
always an arduous test at the Masters. "It's always a blow for golf when Woods doesn't play because he remains the biggest calling card in the game but there are a crop of young players who are at the very top of the game who are really driving it forward. "But it would have been a huge boost for the game if Tiger Woods had been back at Augusta - and competitive - at the first major of the year."
