Spain in crisis E

vents in Spain have made global news headlines this weekend as Catalonia declared itself an independent country and no longer part of Spain and the Spanish Parliament responded by invoking Article 155 and assuming control of the autonomous region. The Spanish Prime Minster Mariano Rajoy effectively sacked all members of the Catalan Parliament and called a regional election for 21st December. On Friday, the Catalan regional parliament voted to declare independence

from Spain with Catalan MPs approving the move amid an opposition boycott. In response Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy had told senators direct rule was needed to return "law, democracy and stability" to Catalonia. The crisis began earlier this month when Catalonia held a controversial referendum on independence. The Catalan government said that of the 43 pecent of potential voters who took part, 90 percent were in favour of independence. But Spain's Constitutional Court had ruled the vote illegal. A motion declaring independence was

approved on Friday with 70 in favour, 10 against, and two abstentions in the 135-seat chamber. The measure calls for the transfer of legal powers from Spain to an independent Catalonia. But the Spanish Constitutional Court is likely to declare it illegal, while the US, UK, Germany and France all expressed support for Spanish unity. European Commission chief JeanClaude Juncker said the EU "doesn't need any more cracks, more splits". Catalan President Carles Puigdemont has called for supporters to "maintain the momentum" in a peaceful manner. Crowds have been celebrating the declaration of independence and Spanish flags have been removed from some regional government buildings in Catalonia. The proindependence crowd outside the parliament followed the session vote by vote. Some had their mobile phones on speaker, to allow listeners at the other end a taste of the atmosphere. The crowd met every Yes vote with a cheer - and every No with a boo. At the end, there was a huge cheer. But around the corner, away from the demonstration, views were different as people lamented that the referendum was

a â&#x20AC;&#x153;manipulation which does not reflect the will of the Catalan people." Soon after the vote at the regional parliament, the Senate - Spain's upper house - made the unprecedented step of approving measures allowing the Spanish government to impose direct rule over Catalonia. There were 214 votes in favour and 47 against. Urging calm, Mr Rajoy said: "Spain is a serious country, it is a great nation and we are not prepared in any way to allow some people to liquidate our constitution." Spain dismissed Catalonia's president and Cabinet, and dissolved its Parliament hours after lawmakers in the autonomous region defied Madrid and voted to declare independence. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy called new elections and fired the Catalan police chief, as part of an unprecedented package of measures to seize control of the renegade administration in Barcelona. He said the moves were needed to restore legality, after a political and constitutional crisis that has gripped the country for months. The dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dramatic and fast-moving events pushed Spain into uncharted

territory, testing the limits of the constitution drawn up after the restoration of democracy in the 1970s. The office of Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prosecutor general meanwhile confirmed it would file a lawsuit Continued on page 3

WE HAVE MOVED! The Costa Blanca People office has moved to a new location in Torrevieja! The new office is within walking distance of Habaneras Shopping Centre and has ample free parking right outside. Our new address is:

BITE SIZE NEWS: Improvements to lighting Improvements to the lighting in Torrevieja are very much needed. However, replacing old systems takes time and now it’s the turn of avenida Delfina Viudes and the Plaza del Molino to have a lighting face lift. Fortunately the provincial government is subsidising the improvements which are long overdue. Altogether €62,000 has been allocated to avenida Delfina Viudes and €56,000 to the Plaza del Molino. Other areas have already been renovated including Rocio del Mar, Cala Dorada and parts of La Mata. Not only does the renovation mean improved reliability of lighting, it also saves money in the long term and new lighting is more environmentally friendly.

Fined for dancing Or so it would seem. The paper ‘Información’ has reported that a female driver was fined for driving in the centre of the town without due care and attention as she was ‘dancing’. She was fined €200 and as she isn’t in agreement with the fine she is appealing through SUMA to the tribunal. The incident happened in calle Maria Parodi in Torrevieja at the junction where it meets calle La calera and exits at el Paseo de la Libertad. The reason for the sanction given by the police is that the woman was driving in a negligent manner and without taking account of the traffic as she was dancing. Continued on page 5

continued from page 1 for rebellion against Puigdemont, the Catalan government and the members of the parliament board who voted in favour of independence.

Sunday Rally Tens of thousands gathered in central Barcelona on Sunday for a large pro-unity demonstration. The demonstration, which began at 12 noon local time, was called by the anti-independence group Societat Civil Catalana, which organised a similar event earlier this month that was attended by hundreds of thousands of people. People with Spanish flags tied around their necks headed towards the Passeig de Gràcia, one of Barcelona’s main thoroughfares. Other carried white banners with the flags of Catalonia, Spain and the EU surrounded by a heart. The event’s slogan was: “We are all Catalonia. Common sense for coexistence!” and the protest was expected to draw people from Catalonia and beyond as well as members of the Spanish government and pro-unity Catalan MPs. Hours after the Spanish government formally announced his dismissal, and the replacement of his entire cabinet by counterparts hundreds of miles away, the Catalan president, Carles Puigdemont, put on an ostentatious display of normality with lunch at a restaurant in the centre of his home city. As he toasted friends with red wine, posed for pictures with supporters in Girona and enjoyed the applause of fellow diners, all broadcast live on national TV, a pre-recorded video message went out promising to continue to work “to build a free nation”. “We must do so resisting repression and threats, without ever abandoning, at

any time, civic and peaceful conduct,” he said in the brief statement, adding that his government did not have or want “the argument of force”. Spain’s Deputy Prime Minister, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría – who has managed the government’s response to the Catalan crisis – has been appointed to run Catalonia on a day-to-day basis until then. But the string of government orders published on Saturday morning provides only an outline for Madrid’s takeover. Mariano Rajoy now faces the challenge of implementing it. The region has been officially selfgoverning since its statute of autonomy was signed in 1979, as Spain returned to democracy following the death of dictator General Francisco Franco in 1975. Many of the thousands of supporters of independence who were weeping and celebrating on the streets of Barcelona and other towns on Friday had pledged peaceful resistance to Madrid’s orders even before Puigdemont’s carefully worded call for resistance. Activists have offered to form human chains around buildings to protect officials, some of whom are expected to face arrest and possible jail sentences for their role in both the October referendum and the declaration of independence that followed. Some of the region’s 200,000 civil servants have said they will not accept orders from Madrid, and one Catalan union has also called a 10-day strike which started yesterday in support of the new republic.

Norwegian scraps flights to Spain from major UK airport Popular budget airline Norwegian is scrapping all of its flights to Spain from one of the UK’s biggest airports. The budget airline announced it will cease operating routes from Birmingham to Spain from this weekend as ‘part of a review of its services’. Norwegian operates routes to five destinations in the country – Barcelona, Gran Canaria, Madrid, Malaga and Tenerife. A statement from the company said: “Following a review of our services, we will cease operating flights from Birmingham to

Spain with the last services departing on Saturday, 28th October. “A natural part of our UK development will see some reductions in routes with lower passenger demand, allowing us to focus instead on providing affordable flights on strong-performing routes.” This is the latest service to stop operating from Birmingham Airport, following similar decisions in recent months by United Airlines and American Airlines which ceased running routes to New York.

Building returns to Torrevieja The cranes are back on the skyline of Torrevieja. The last remaining building plot is now being developed next to La Hoya. After 16 years of processing, the town hall has again authorised licences to construct new dwellings on the piece of ground La Coronelita. The building project will take place on almost 300 square metres of land with a capacity to provide up to 1,300 properties. The first 300 have started to be built last week. The project is situated between the southern access to Torrevieja from the motorway, the CV-95 and Los Balcones. It is the last piece of land that is categorised as ‘suelo urbanizable’ and therefore can be developed. There are some small plots in other parts of the town but no other large area can be built on in this way.

Production limits of desalination plant Torrevieja’s desalination plant is unable to work to maximum capacity until June 2018. The electrical power that is needed to produce 80 cubic hectometres of desalinated sea water per year will not be available until then. The desalination plant itself has been there since 2007 and so far has been unable to live up to its potential. The high energy cost continues to be a cap on the activities of the plant which was built at a huge cost to the public purse. There is criticism of the amount of investment there was in this project to build the largest desalination plant in Europe in Torrevieja. One of the main problems of the plant is the huge amount of electricity needed to run it. There currently still seems to be no satisfactory solution to this in the immediate future.

Studio 32 performance approaches Studio32 are performing ‘White Christmas’ from Wednesday November 29th to Saturday December 2nd at the Cardenal Belluga Theatre in San Fulgencio. All the performances start at 7.30pm and reserved seating tickets are now on sale for €10. Money raised from the musical goes towards the San Fulgencio Alzheimer’s Association as well as other local charities. Two of those performing are Mervyn Williams and Keith Longshaw who play Stage Manager Mike and farm hand Ezekiel. They are key figures in the staging of a show in the barn in Vermont and have many one-liners in the performance. Both Keith and Mervyn have been with Studio32 for two years and thoroughly enjoy the work involved in putting on large musicals.

of a terrorist attack The mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón, has issued instructions for people in the town about what they should do in the case of a terrorist attack. The leaflet has been prepared in conjunction with the Local Police and Guardia Civil and explains how to react to such an emergency situation. ‘They are clear and simple instructions that could help to save lives before the arrival of the security forces,’ explains Dolón. The instructions are illustrated with pictures and are being distributed in places accessible to the town’s population. The advice is based upon information handed out by the French government following the attacks in Paris last November. ‘The objective of the leaflet,’ says the mayor, ‘is to keep people informed and aware that terrorism is a reality with which we live and we want to avoid changing our lives in anyway that reduces our civil liberties.’ The pictures illustrate the different situations in which people might find themselves and asks citizens to establish where the danger is in order to get themselves away from it. It also advises you to help other people to escape, to avoid being exposed in open spaces and to deter others from entering dangerous areas. In the event that you are unable to escape then you should attempt to hide yourself, lock yourself in and seal the doors. The advice is also to switch off the lights and any electrical devices especially items

such as mobiles that can alert a terrorist through sound or vibration that there is someone present. You should stay away from windows and lay on the floor or protect yourself by staying behind a solid object such as a wall or a column. The advice also acts as a reminder that on approaching security forces you should not make any sudden movements and keep your hands open and in sight so that security forces do not mistake you for a terrorist. Finally, as soon as it is safe to do so, you should call 112 or contact the Guardia Civil via the APP Alertcops and follow the instructions given. It’s important not to spread information about the placement and actions of the police until the incident is over. You should not use social media to spread rumours or information that has not been verified. Official sources of information include @interiorgob, @policia, @guardiacivil and @gva112. The leaflet is just part of a programme being launched by the town called ‘prevention and raising awareness’. It will be handed out in town buildings, schools, through different associations and in work places. You can also pick up a leaflet at the Guardia Civil barracks. The publication reflects the advice coming from the Valencian community and provincial authorities and has been published in Spanish, English and French. Suzanne O’Connell

applications soar Applications for licences for new builds in Spain soared by 24.4 per cent in the first seven months of this year. According to figures from the Development Ministry, some 49,238 applications were made. The majority – 37,039 – were for apartment blocks, up by 26 per cent compared to 2016, making up 75.2 per cent of the total applications. Building applications for detached homes stood at 12,174,

an increase of 19.5 percent. On its current trajectory, 84,500 applications could filed by the end of 2017. This would be the highest for seven years, since 2010 when 91,600 were made. Meanwhile, applications for refurbishments and extensions increased by 5.8 pe rcent between January and July to a total of 17,855. Licences for extensions saw the biggest increase – up by 18.8 per cent to 1,373.

SUMA freezes Plusvalía Plusvalía is the tax that is collected following a sale of property in Spain. It is based upon the added value of the land on which the property is built over the period that it has been owned. However, there has been concern for some time about the payment of this tax when property values have dropped rather than increased. Now SUMA, the tax collection agency

in Torrevieja and some surrounding regions, has announced that it is no longer collecting the tax where property has been sold at a lower price to what it was bought for. The action has been taken as a preventative measure based upon a court ruling that was passed last May and others that have been made across the country. The move was announced during the town council meeting on 26th October

and will come as a relief for those currently selling or considering selling their property. Attention will also now turn to those people who have already paid the tax. The prospect of returning money as well as not collecting any more could have serious consequences for the town hall. Plusvalía provides substantial direct revenue for town halls and without this major source of income local people could find services severely affected. This is in addition to the reduction in IBI council tax which has also recently been announced.

It is reported that Torrevieja was expecting an income of 16 million from this plusvalía tax this year. SUMA’s decision was made by the organisation itself and was not ordered from the town hall. The changes to this tax will particularly affect larger towns where there are a lot of second hand properties such as in Alicante and Elche and also those that are dependent on residential tourism such as Torrevieja, Orihuela, Pilar de la Horadada or Santa Pola. Suzanne O’Connell

Pensioners protest On Thursday, 26th October there was a protest held outside the social services building in Torrevieja about cuts to state pensions. More than 60 local people gathered at the gates to the office to protest. The demonstration was called by the union Coordinadora Estatal for la Defensa del Sistema Público de Pensiones. The organiser of the demonstration, Miguel Martínez, was symbolically chained to the fence to demand that the state support and defends the public pension system. Protesters believe that good pension payouts can be sustained if the government wishes. It wasn’t only in Torrevieja that the protest took place. In cities across the country the same point was being made, mostly by those who are retired already or are shortly to retire. They are unhappy at the increase in age when pensioners can claim their retirement pension and want its return to 65 years old. There is also anger that annual percentage increases to state pensions have not kept up with inflation. Meaning

that pensioners are already feeling the pinch when it comes to buying their dayto-day goods. They want to see a minimum pension of €1,080 as is suggested by the European Social Charter

and a return to increases that properly allow for inflation. The Avenida Urbano Arregui was temporarily cut off whilst the manifesto was read out. The protest was supported by the United Left political party of Torrevieja. Suzanne O’Connell

Library day On the 25th October it was library day in Torrevieja. The event closed with the naming of Marcela Rojas Ortiz as an honourable member of the library due to the exemplary way she has used it and encouraged her children to do the same. ‘She is the mother of two little children,’ explained librarian Carmen Muñoz, ‘who are also members of the library. She has passed on her love of books to them and they normally visit the library every week.’ The event was also attended by the mayor, José Manuel Dolón, who referred to the crucial role that books play and how they are often the target during wartime.

Happy house hunting with Smart band End of the Battle of A 'Smart Band' which tells people where to buy a house based upon how they feel when they visit different areas and properties has been designed by the University of Zaragoza and the Gandia campus of Valencia Polytechnic. Information about the wearer's wellbeing is picked up by sensors, which connect to his or her SmartPhone and contrast with data obtained from the estate agency. Scores from all users are then sent to property companies so they can work out which

are the most sought-after neighbourhoods in their area. Once the wearer's cardiac frequency variability (CFV) is measured, no other information needs to be introduced manually, and they will then receive recommendations directly to their mobile as to where they should look when seeking a home to ensure they will be happy living there. “Stress causes a huge number of illnesses, and the environment in which we live is a

determining factor in our stress levels,” says researcher Raquel Lacuesta from Zaragoza University. “So, using our system, we hope to improve people's wellbeing in their domestic surroundings.” The team says the 'Smart Band' hails the start of a 'revolution' in home sales, since it places a 'much greater level of importance' on the buyer's emotions.

Local Police save the lives of two children The quick-thinking actions of Local Police officers in Orihuela have save two children. The speedy transfer of a four year old girl to a local health centre recently was crucial to saving her life. The child, who was with her parents in the street, was breathing with difficulty and suffering convulsions. This caught the attention of the officers, who put the child in their patrol car and sped to the nearest health centre. Luckily, and thanks to the speedy response of the police officers the child was stabilised by emergency personnel until the arrival of a SAMU ambulance was able to transfer the child to Vega Baja Hospital. It was the speed, according to the medical team that attended to the girl that was key to her recovery. In a second and unrelated incident, Local Police officers attended an emergency call to rescue a two-year-old boy, who had his hand caught in the lift of a building. Officers were able to free him with the help of an iron bar. The officers then proceeded to transfer the child to the nearest health centre, for later transfer to the Hospital Vega Baja, where he was assisted by doctors. Both children are now out of danger. The Councillor for Citizen Security, Mariola Rocamora, has positively praised the actions of the officers, celebrating their "preparation and speed of intervention, therefore protecting the safety of these two children."

Trafalgar celebrated Councillor Carmen Morate and Carlos González, the director of the office for international residents, attended the Royal Navy Association commemoration of the anniversary of the final battle of Trafalgar on 21st October 1805. It was attended by around 100 British people and was organised by the RNA committee, chaired by Paul Edwards. The event was celebrated in Hotel Masa where presidents of other British associations representing those serving in

the armed forces. The event included a welcome, a procession of flags, buffet, toasts to the monarchy of Spain and England, charity raffle and dance. This branch of the RNA was started in 1992 and remains in close contact with the RNA in London. They continue to celebrate a number of events, with this being the most important. The association is open to anyone who has served in the RN, RM, FRA, QARNNS, the reserves and the RNXS. Suzanne O’Connell

Celebrating food in Torrevieja On 27th, 28th and 29th October it was the second Gastrocultural festival of Torrevieja. ‘Gastrovegabaja’ took place in the Bahía Costa function rooms from 11am until 6pm and included opportunity to taste dishes and tapas at a cost of €3. A vast number of stalls were there representing different bars and restaurants across the area with opportunity to show off the food they offer. The Bahía Costa was the perfect venue for not only sampling the different tapas selections but also for entertainment and workshops. There were activities for children and the staged area played host to dance school performances, wine tasting and a range of other workshops. Payas dance school entertained with both a selection of Flamenco and modern dances. Unfortunately the stage proved to be a little small for them to use for some of the dances they had planned. Participating restaurants at the event came from Almoradí, Callosa, Dolores, Guardamar, Orihuela, Pilar de la Horadada, Rojales and, of course, Torrevieja. The majority of those present were local including Carnicas Río, La Marisuería de Torrevieja, Barlovento, Las Cañas, Las Columnas, Luz de mar, Nautilius and Panaderías Mudopan. On Sunday, the venue was packed and people queued to buy the tickets which were the currency to trade in for your tapas meal or drink. It was not the setting

for a relaxed meal. However, it was an excellent opportunity to find out more about restaurants across the region. This event was just one of those being planned to put the region on the map when it comes to food and eating out. Councillor Fanny Serrano has been an important ambassador for this type of tourism and as well as attending the fair has been active recently in working with the University of Alicante to plan

collaboration that will act as an excellent opportunity to boost food products here as well as establishing research opportunities into food such as blue fish.’ Torrevieja is also due to host a gastronomic conference that is focused on the use of salt in cooking. This will cover cooking seafood, the history of salt, and its innovative use. The focus on training and education will not just be confined to the university,

opportunities for young people to gain qualifications, training and experience in cooking and food preparation. A new degree is being created in Gastronomy for next year at the university and there are ambitions to bring the Alicante region to the forefront of research surrounding food. ‘We are working in Torrevieja at this

however. There are also plans to include workshops and courses based at the CdT in Torrevieja to enable young people to find their vocation and develop it. It is hoped that some of these young people might also then go on to take their learning further at University. In the meantime, for those enjoying the tapas opportunities at the Bahía Costa, there is already much to celebrate when it come to food in Torrevieja. Suzanne O’Connell

Ryanair delays baggage allowance changes Ryanair has delayed implementing a new stricter cabin bag policy in the latest turnabout by the beleagured budget airline. The company told prospective passengers in September that from 1st November they would have to pay £5 for priority boarding to avoid having their main cabin bag checked in to the hold at the departure gate. Following the flight cancellations fiasco that grounded 400,000 ticket holders, however, and a continuing fight with pilots over pay, Ryanair said it would delay the new bag policy until mid-January. The airline said customers needed more time to get used to the policy, particularly with the busy Christmas period just weeks away. Ryanair’s head of marketing, Kenny Jacobs, said: “We will delay the introduction of our new cabin bag rules until 15th January 2018, to allow our customers more time to familiarise themselves with the policy changes.” The new policy will prevent passengers from bringing a wheelie-size bag into the aircraft unless they have paid for priority boarding. Passengers who have not done so can still go to the departure gate with a wheelie bag and a small secondary bag – such as a handbag – but the larger bag will be taken away and put in the hold. Travellers will then have to wait at their destination airport for the bag to be delivered on carousels. Ryanair is also increasing the maximum weight for checked-in luggage from 15kg to 20kg. The airline said the new bag policy was essential because there was not enough overhead cabin space for the volume of carry-on bags that passengers were bringing on board, which it said was causing boarding and flight delays. Ryanair said in September the move would cost it €50m (£44.6m) in reduced fees for checked baggage, but critics regard it as a ruse to increase the

number of people paying for priority boarding. The delay to the bag policy comes as the airline’s battle with its pilots continues. Those at its main base, Stansted airport near London, recently voted overwhelmingly to reject a higher pay offer. It is understood that 90 percent of the 480 pilots at Stansted voted 62 percent to 38 percent to reject the offer of £11,000-£22,000 extra in bonuses and allowances.

The rejection, at a time when Ryanair is battling to keep pilots that have been defecting to Norwegian.com and other competitors, came days after pilots at its Madrid base also rejected the offer. Pilots at several other bases have accepted the offer, the airline said. Ryanair’s shares have fallen in value from a peak of €19.39 in July before the cancellation debacle to €15.67 mid-last week.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE Sterling struggles amidst ongoing Brexit uncertainty. Brexit once again cast its shadow over sterling, which dropped midweek following news of an apparent shift in the government’s approach to the transition period. Both the prime minister and the chancellor stated that any agreement for transition will be part of a final deal, which means another year of uncertainty ahead for British business. The pound recovered somewhat on the announcement of GDP figures showing a growth of 0.4% in the third quarter; more than the 0.3% predicted. Its net gains on the day averaged 1.2% and included half a euro cent and one and a third US cents. It is not only the increase in GDP, but also the fact that this may indicate a change to interest rates may be on the horizon – all eyes will be on the Monetary Policy Committee for their announcement next week. The euro had a largely positive week; ecostats from Europe beat expectations, although Germany fell short of forecast numbers. However, despite this, IFO's measures of German business confidence came in better than expected, as did Italian industrial sales and Swiss business confidence. This, together with uncertainty elsewhere, kept the euro within the top tier of the leader board this week. The US also beat expectations in the provisional purchase managers’ index readings, but elsewhere the news was not so good for the greenback. Despite a higher than predicted 2.2% monthly rise in US durable goods orders,

the dollar fell, perhaps due not to the statistics but the political environment with Republican Senators Flake and Corker publicly criticising president Trump and calling the tax cuts that had boosted the dollar at the beginning of the week into question. The Bank of Canada acted as suspected towards the end of the week and left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 1%. The accompanying statement struck a note of caution that worried investors, however, and the Canadian dollar lost three cents on Thursday. The inflation data for Australia caused some problems for the Australian dollar this week. Prices had not gone up by as much as expected in the third quarter so the currency was marked down. It is lower by an average of -0.9% on the day against the other dozen most actively-traded currencies. Investors feel this makes even the slim chance of an interest rate rise less likely and the currency fell as a result. As the new Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern took office this week, the New Zealand dollar was the victim of political uncertainty. The new coalition of the Labour and Green parties together with New Zealand First is entirely untested and the market has not reacted well to the change. Time will tell whether Ardern can manage a stable coalition and bring the governing parties together, but until the market is likely to remain wary of the new order.

Money for the courts The courts in Torrevieja are under great strain in terms of trying to keep up with the number of cases that are referred to them. Now the regional government has pledged to invest €65,000 to equip the fifth floor of the Palacio de Justicia in Torrevieja with improvements that should allow them to keep up with the paperwork better. The floor had originally been used to store paper work as it was designated as unfit for people to work there. It was then decided that it was not even fit for this purpose and is currently unused. The work should enable administrative activities to take place there again and is expected to take place at the end of the first half of 2018. Money is also being provided to renovate other parts of the building to provide community areas for those using it.

Torrevieja has had its own court buildings since 1999. First there was temporary provision and then the Palacio de Justicia was built. This building has five floors and is located in the Avenida de las Habaneras.By 2009 it was already proving to be too small. More than one hundred administrators work in the town hall. These are distributed between three court rooms, five instruction rooms and a department for violence against women. The building is not big enough and its deficiencies are easy to see for those who visit it. There have been instances where shelving has collapsed due to the amount of paperwork stored there. The system, in all respects,is being pushed to the limit. Suzanne O’Connell

Cacti and succulents are of course obvious choices, but not all people appreciate the barren desert-look, preferring a green and lush garden with colourful flowers.

Red Bird of Paradise Here are some suggestions for easy to grow plants that can tolerate pretty bad soil, lots of hot sun, and do not need much water: 1. Oleander (Nerium oleander) - are evergreen shrubs with clusters of flowers from May through October. Several flower colours are available: White, pink, salmon, and red. Oleanders are pretty fast growers and just like all flowering shrubs, they require occasional trimming. Oleanders make a popular divider or hedge, and can even be trained into a tree. 2. Lantana - is an evergreen vining shrub. Lantana has many uses, but is most often shaped into a bush or a hedge. They are fast growing - do not plant too many or you will be overrun! The nice thing about using lantana is that it flowers pretty much all year long. You can get pale yellow, bright yellow, orange, and pink varieties. Deep water your lantana once in a while and trim periodically. Both oleander and lantana are poisonous - do not let your children or pets eat any parts of the plant. 3. Bougainvillea - are evergreen desert woody vines that flower several times throughout the year. The most common

colours of bougainvillea are white, magenta, purple, pink and red. Bougainvillea plants can be trained into various shapes. They can be used as vines, shaped into bushes or just let to grow wild. Unless you have a lot of space to let it grow wild, bougainvillea will need periodic trimming. Do not be afraid to cut it way back, but be careful - they have thorns. One last thing about bougainvillea: They are messy. That means that you will have bracts (those are the coloured leaves that make it so pretty) everywhere. Do not put a bougainvillea next to a pool unless you are prepared for constant cleaning. 4. Texas Sage (Leucophyllum frutescens) are evergreen desert shrubs that flower several times throughout the year with flowers all over. Those beautiful bright purple flowers will come out after rain or when it is humid. You can also encourage blooming by giving them extra water, but let the ground dry out between watering. The trick to the Texas sage is to prune when they are not flowering, and then let them grow out a bit when they are. 5. Ornamental Grasses - are large, evergreen plants for all year interest. They are fast growers, and when they flower there will be long stalks with plumes that rise up from the plant. Ornamental grass makes a nice barrier, so it can be planted around a spa or can be used to take up a big corner space. Ornamental grass does not require much care, but it does need a haircut now and then. Remember, ornamental grasses grow to be large, so make sure you have the space to let them spread out.

WELCOME TO CHISINAU with Vivalia Travel

Chişinău is a good place for food lovers. There are plenty of good places to eat all over Chişinău. The cheap, tasty food that is very popular with the locals is served in most places.

Chisinau is the capital of Moldova with a population of over 800.000 for the metropolitan area which covers an area of 563.3 km2. Chisinau is very wealthy compared to the rest of the country, as Moldova is not a very rich country. As is common in developing countries, you are likely to see great disparities in wealth. It's also very much a post-Soviet city, with both the good and bad qualities associated with it. By other side you'll see many modern and great buildings of steel, concrete and glass. THINGS TO SEE AND DO Cathedral Park. Better known as Central Park, is in the very centre of the city. The centre is adorned with the Nativity Cathedral, the main church for the city. To the Southwest is the Triumph arch constructed in 1841 which is the center piece of The Great National Assembly Square. Across Stefan cel Mare Boulevard is the Government House. Rose Valley. A nine hectare park featuring three major lakes and several restaurants. Riscani Park. A big, 32 hectare wooded park offering you pleasant, almost secluded walks. Jewish Cemetery in Buiucani. The cemetery is still in use. Contains new and very old graves, and used to be one of the largest Jewish cemetery in Europe. Bear in mind that at one point between 40 and 60% of Chişinău's population was Jewish. It also contains an old destroyed synagogue and a monument for the Torah scrolls. On the other hand, there are a number of shops and shopping centres in Chişinău. If you are just visiting

Chişinău, consider buying a special cognac selection of about 30 small bottles, with different sorts of cognac. It can make a nice gift. Moldovan wines are deservedly famous across the former Soviet Union, yet are little known in Europe. Take the opportunity to sample them. Cigarettes are also much very cheap in Moldova (most are 10 to 20 lei for a packet of 20 cigarettes), most other countries will allow you to bring a carton of 200 cigarettes without paying taxes. Chişinău Souvenir Bazaar. The city's main artisan market. One can find hand made crafts, paintings and relics from the Soviet days. English is limited, but many products have a marked price. Negotiating prices is aceptable. Unic. An all purpose soviet-style shopping center in Chişinău. Located on the corner of Stefan cel Mare and Ismail. EAT AND DRINK Chişinău is a good place for food lovers. There are plenty of good places to eat all over Chişinău. The cheap, tasty food that is very popular with the locals is served in most places. For better service and more diverse food selection, there are a lot of small restaurants and cafes. Some restaurants have prices comparable to Europe, although if you eat only in those you may find yourself being ripped off. For a quick lunch, try fast food stores and pizzerias, these can be found on nearly every corner. Beef is often under the veal part of the menu. For groceries, there are small shops all over. Some are even located right in front of the apartment blocks just a few steps away from their entrances.

For harder-to-find items, head to a supermarket. You will frequently also see markets or even one or two random people selling fruit and vegetables, and sometimes other products such as honey or "brinza"

(type of cheese). The majority of these are fresh and perfectly safe to eat and frequently better than what is found in a supermarket. On the other hand, drinks such as vodka are served on their own. So don't be surprised if your vodka sprite is served as a 2 separate drinks. Also club soda seems difficult to procure, at least in English. Wines - Moldavan wines, cognac, liquor and juice are all on par with the best of Eastern Europe. For one thing, manufacturers tend to use only organic products. Secondly, these products are made in the traditional way. Restaurants tend to sell only local wines, but only those of the highest standards. Beer A very famous is named "Bere Chişinău". It was awarded with the Nr.1 Gold Medal at the Nuremberg beer competition in 2007, beating German, Czech and others. It can be found in all the bars on every street in Chişinău, so finding a place for a drink is not a problem.

Making the most of Torrevieja’s salt industry Aigues Mortesin France is renowned for its salt mountains and salt industry. Similarly to Torrevieja, its salt flats are owned and managed by the SalinsGroup which combines salt production with the tourist business. The Councillor for tourism, Fanny Serrano, has been visiting the Salinas de AiguesMortes (Camargue) to look at what Torrevieja can learn from them when it comes to developing its own salt tourist industry. Currently the salt flats of Aigues Mortes offer a number of tourist options. The area has its own unique fauna and flora and began attracting tourists in 1984 in collaboration with the town’s tourism office. Now there is a department dedicated to this branch of tourism. The tourist options on offer include a visit to the Salinas by tourist train, visits at dusk in the months of July and August, guided mountain bike and free walking activities and opportunity for visitors to see spectacular views of the salt mining activity. On a recent visit to Torrevieja, the managers of the French salt flats assured the councillors that the potential to increase salt tourism in Torrevieja is high. It is planned that they will visit the town again soon to help them put into place a strategy to increase the number of tourists who come to see the salt industry and its unusual landscapes. ‘The salt flats of Aigues Mortes are different from those of Torrevieja,’ explained José Manuel Dolón, the town’s mayor. ‘With different collecting systems and spread out over a larger surface area. However, it does not produce as much salt as is produced here. Their tourist industry is growing every year and it is evident that there is a lot we can learn from them.’ The Aigues Mortes also includes a private

beach which is accessible every day for a few tourists and a meal is also included. There is a salt museum and a gift shop which comes at the end of the tour and offers opportunities for people to buy many different types of salt food products as well as their own line of cosmetics. The Aigues Mortes mines its salt in an ecologically friendly way and preserves the biodiversity of the environment it’s located in. In 2013 it was awarded the prize for the best management of biodiversity granted by the French Ministry of the Environment. In 2014 it

was awarded the Marianne d’Or award for their programme to safeguard pink flamingos which are the largest residents of the salt flats. In 2017 they received more than 160,000 visitors, a figure that has been increasing every year. Suzanne O’Connell

Finance & Tax Forum -A success story The first Finance & Tax Forum was held on 5th October in the wonderful La Laguna Hotel in Quesada. As with any new event, the three companies involved, Currencies Direct, Pellicer & Heredia and ourselves, were slightly nervous as to the outcome. Well, what a

wonderful success it was for everyone concerned. The first speaker, Roberto standing in for Ignacio Pellicer from the Spanish lawyers, gave an in‐depth insight into the complicated Spanish Tax system for both residents and non‐residents. Second on stage was Andrew from Currencies Direct, and he gave the audience an insight into the world of currency transfers as well the background of the company. Lastly, Chris from Seagate Wealth spoke about pensions, the options under Pension Freedom legislation, as well as tracing lost

pensions. The second topic he dealt with was how to beat the low interest rates offered by banks with an insight into a Spanish Tax Compliant savings bond offered by one of the UK’s foremost financial services organisation. Once all the presentations were completed, coffee was taken and this was where the audience got to chat to the experts, ask their questions and arrange for follow‐up meetings. The feedback from everyone who attended was very positive, as all agreed they had gained new knowledge that would certainly help with their life here in Spain. As everyone seemed to enjoy and benefit from the forum, we have decided to hold another one on Wednesday 8th November. So

if you could not attend the last one, or think this might be the ideal opportunity to speak to the local experts, then reserve your place now. Call 965 704 338 or email: Marketing@SeagateWealth.es

They keep following me

I just don’t want her

After quite a suffocating up-bringing, I managed to leave home, getting married and now have a little boy. I chose to live in my husband’s home town which is three hours drive from my parents, so I could get away from the controlling. I love my parents but they soon sold up, and moved within 10 minutes of our new place, turning up every day to visit. My mother in particular can be quite interfering and likes to take charge. My marriage started to suffer and realising what the problem was, we agreed that my husband would take a relocation at work. We will be moving 300 miles away, and unbelievably my parents are now planning to follow.

I’ve been seeing a married woman for a few months. I thought it was just a laugh, but she’s gone and left her husband for me! I didn’t realise she was so serious until she turned up on my doorstep last week with a packed suitcase. She had nowhere to go so of course I let her stay for a while, but now she thinks we are an item and this is the way it’s going to be. She’s talking about us marrying. She has children of her own, who descended on me last week. I can’t take it any more. What should I do?

It’s time for a serious but kind conversation with your parents, otherwise they will follow you all over the globe. I’ve seen marriages end because of too much family interference. In nature birds need to fly the nest, and whilst family is important to us humans, we all need our space. Try not to criticise but set out a visiting schedule that suits you.

There’s nothing else for it, you’ll have to tell her what you’ve just told me, that you did not see the relationship as being serious, and you did not expect her to leave her husband. You let her stay because she had nowhere else to go, and now she has to face facts and that the relationship has to be over. It will be upsetting for her, but you can’t lead this woman on any more.

Brit EU register illegal Euro deputies describe the new British register on EU residents in the UK is ‘illegal and unacceptable’. A group in the European Parliament are concerned about the proposals from the British Interior Minister, Amber Rudd, who announced the new registry would see all EU residents in the UK required to supply their personal data. Brussels fears the intentions for a period of transition after Brexit in March 2019 would implicate Great

Sophie Veld, Seb Dance, Claude Moraes, Jean Lambert, Beatriz Becerra, Cecilia Wikström and Catherine Bearder are the signees against the statement by Rudd. ‘The interior minister suggests that only the EU citizens who don’t reside

The warnings come based on statistics released under a request under freedom of information from the British Interior Ministry which is fighting to face a mountain of requests for permanence residence for EU citizens who would be subjected to the instability of long waiting times. The certificates of permanence residence, which can be obtained by any EU citizen and partner after spending five years in the UK, would take an average delay of 116 days to be obtained, according to the latest data published in the fourth quarter of 2016 by the Interior Ministry. This period is three times longer than what was promised during 2015, when the draft noted only 43 days, the cards for permanence residence would take even longer, with an average of 170 days to obtain a yes or not from the Interior Ministry, compared to 125 days in 2015. Nearly 30,000 EU residents have applied for permanence residence since the Brexit referendum on June 23, almost double the previous year. The interior minister assured that the current residents in Great Britain could ‘regularise their position’ with a request for biometric permanence residence with the established status, if they have lived in the UK for more than five years. Those who are unemployed or are found with a criminal record or fail in tests of identity can be rejected.

Tapas and crafts in Guardamar Every year in autumn the local bars and restaurants in Guardamar del Segura, in conjunction with the Town Hall, host a tapas festival which lasts four weeks. This year the event will run until 12th November. The event is called "Tapas con Historia" because each year the organisers choose a different theme from the past and this year it is "La Edad Moderna", the period roughly between the 15th and 18th century. And that's why one of the activities organised during the festival will be a craft fair in the style of that period, taking place over the weekend 3rd, 4th and 5th November. To mark the occasion, this year the Town Hall has invited the craft association Amata to organise the craft fair, to make sure that all participants are real craftsmen, selling only what they have made themselves. They will set up their stalls in the Avenida de los Pinos, next to one of the beautiful parks of the town, the Reina Sofía. In one area visitors will be able to dress up in style to have a photograph taken with their own

camera or telephone and for the smaller visitors there will be puppet theatre, workshops, a ferris wheel, games and soap bubbles. A magician and a ‘dancing bear’ will visit the fair and every evening there will be a juggling show with fire. Once visitors have walked the craft fair and bought some great gifts, they can visit the bars and restaurants that are taking part in the Tapas con Historia and have a drink and a tapa for 2 euros a time. The coastline of Guardamar del Segura is one of the few areas along the Mediterranean that boasts real dunes covered with pine trees. In one of the many parks visitors can visit archaeological excavations, with finds from Phoenician times, and remnants of an old mezquita - so there is plenty to see, do, eat and drink in Guardamar. The craft fair opens on Friday the 3rd November at 6pm and stays open till 9pm or later. On Saturday and Sunday the craft fair will be open from 11am till 9pm. For more information, in English or Spanish, call 639 979 678. Photographs of previous Amata craft fairs can be found at: www.amata.es.

No-one likes to talk money, either because they feel they are being judged as cheap or they think they must try to act as if they can afford it, but reality is, they cannot. This conversation is a must and being able to move forward with the purchase of your dream home means starting up this dialogue as soon as possible. Lots of people don’t like negotiating but let’s face it, at some point in your life you’re going to have to and there’s no better time to start than now. First thing to remember, don’t get carried away with these property programmes that everyone watches. They often advise in offering much lower than the asking price but what you must take into consideration is the year in which the programme originally aired. Like any housing market in the world, it does fluctuate from year to year. You’ve all heard the phrase “location, location, location”… these words have more effect on pricing than many people actually realize and you can use it to your advantage when making an offer by asking yourself if the area you’re looking in are maintaining their prices or are sellers taking a hit and having to reduce just to get it sold? Your agent should be able

to advise you, but the easiest way to find out for yourself is by looking at local market inventory. If there are a lot of properties of a similar design for sale, then you know you can start with a sensible offer. Beware! Go too low and you could offend the seller, then they won’t be open to any negotiation at all…..it’s their memories that they’re putting a price on after all, so be compassionate. And if there aren’t many houses for sale of a similar design, then this creates a demand and any offers being put forward need to be closer to the

asking price. Don’t forget, your Agent will be able to guide you when making an offer. So when it comes to negotiating on that perfect price, all offers are acceptable but only a few will be considered! For more information and guidance on buying and selling, please contact us and we will send you our FREE ebook or log on to: www.homes4u.es/new-kindle-e-book to request the link. Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough!

Expats in Spain post Brexit Time to Spain’s foreign affairs minister Alfonso Dastis was interviewed on the BBC's Andrew Marr show recently and says he wants to make sure British expats in Spain did not have a rough time after Brexit. Dastis also claimed much of the

or retire here and we want to keep it that way as much as possible.” Dastis did not go into detail as to how the Spanish government would make sure that happened. Non-retired Brits in Spain are

footage on the police action, sparking global criticism of violence around the referendum, was 'fake news'. UK citizens living in EU countries are worried about what will happen to them in the event Britain crashes out of the Union without a deal. “I do hope that there will be a deal,” Dastis said to Marr. “If there is no deal, we will make sure that the lives of ordinary people who are in Spain – the UK people – are not disrupted. “As you know, the relationship between the UK and Spain is a very close one in terms of economic relations and also social exchanges. “Over 17 million Brits come to Spain every year and many of them live here

worried about being at the back of the queue for jobs which employers want to keep for EU citizens, and about problems getting a work permit. Those in receipt of a UK State pension are worried that Britain will stop contributing towards their healthcare – currently, the British government pays €4,300 a head to Spain, which does not cover costs for those with serious or ongoing medical problems. Whether Spain would continue to make up the difference if Britain is no longer in the EU is a concern, although Dastis' words suggest this will not change. But Spain is unlikely to be able to afford to replace the €4,300 per pensioner if Britain ceases to pay.

Whether retired or of working age, Britons in Spain are dreading possible new rules about having to queue up for residence permits every few years, and the probability of being turned down if their income falls below a certain level. This means Dastis' declarations are music to many expats' ears, since he suggests work permits, residence restrictions and, to a certain extent, healthcare, are not going to be an issue. Many fear a backlash from EU nations if British prime minister Theresa May does not give full rights to Europeans living in the UK, but leaders of the 27-country bloc do not appear to be thinking in those terms. Their joint number one priority – along with the UK settling its preexisting financial commitments and a solution being found to the Republic of Ireland-Northern Ireland border – is the rights of citizens caught in the Brexit crossfire, meaning Brits in Europe already have 27 countries on their side whatever happens in the outgoing 28th nation. More Brits live in Spain than any other EU country, and the official figures say they number 308,805 – although the actual total could be much higher as many may not have signed on the padrón, or council census, and others who have holiday homes spend just short of six months in the country, meaning they are not classed as 'residents'. Of these, only a third are pensioners – 101,045, or 32.7% - according to the UK's Office for National Statistics.

clear up

Fake news Dastis was, naturally, questioned about Catalunya, and insisted that 'in no way' was the police action 'brutal' on the day of the disputed referendum. Police acted 'in accordance with their legal mandate', the minister stressed. “It has been shown that many of the footage is false,” he stated. “If force was used, it was limited. The security forces were simply obeying their legal orders.” When pressed on this issue, Dastis said: “I'm not saying all the pictures were false, but some of them were. We're seeing a huge amount of 'alternative facts' and 'fake news', but there was no deliberate use of force; they were provoked.” Questioned on the application of Article 155 of the Constitution, which will see Catalunya's regional government removed and the territory brought under State rule, Dastis said this action is 'an attempt to restore legal and Constitutional order' and to 'establish the authorities who will govern Catalunya on a day-to-day basis in accordance with the law'. Asked whether there was any likelihood of Catalunya's legally becoming independent, Dastis said this would have to be through a Constitutional reform voted on by Spanish society. “EU countries, our allies, are not going to accept a decision of this nature taken by just one part of the country,” Dastis stressed, adding that the Scottish situation was 'exceptional'.

Any visitor to the area will notice areas of land that are characterised by the rubbish and graffiti that accumulates there. Abandoned and derelict they do nothing to add to the image of the town. Now the mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón, is issuing an order that the owners of these plots of land must take some measures to tidy them up. Owners are responsible for the fencing off of their property and keeping areas clean and tidy. This legislation has not always been followed up, however. The town hall receives many complaints from people who are unhappy about the state of sections of private land which appears to be unkempt and sometimes something of an eyesore. Owners do not fulfil their obligation to keep the areas tidy and this can lead to fly tipping on the land and pests making it their home. It is the owners’ responsibility to pay for andconstruct fencing around these plots. There is even the option of expropriating land which has not been properly attended to if six years have elapsed during which the land hasn’t been developed. Suzanne O’Connell

BUSINESS PROFILE

SPANISH POINTS-BASED LICENCE SYSTEM The Spanish points system gives 8 points to drivers who have held a licence for less than 3 years and 12 points for drivers who have held it for over 3 years. If no traffic offences are committed after 3 years drivers receive an additional 3 points. A point is awarded every subsequent 3-year period up to a maximum of 15 points. Drivers can recuperate points by completing a re-education course of 12 hours or a 24 hour course if drivers have lost all their points. Once the course is passed successfully drivers are awarded 8 points on their licence. What is covered? Under Línea Directa’s Traffic Fine Handling service, the policy holder or owner of the insured vehicle as well as any other drivers legally entitled to drive the vehicle can benefit up to a maximum of €500 of the cost of traffic reeducation and awareness course, as well as the fees payable in con-nection with the driving licence recovery test.

How are points deducted? Drivers will lose 6 points if under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other illegal substances. Reckless driving, refusing to take a breathalysing test or drugs test, driving over 50% of the speed limit. Drivers will lose 4 points for putting other drivers at risk, throwing objects on the road that could cause accidents or fire, exceeding limits by over 40kph, endangering cyclists, illegally parking, exceeding maximum passenger capacity by 50%. Driving without a seatbelt, using a mobile phone and not keeping a safe driving distance will result in a 3 point fine. How reimbursement works Línea Directa will decide whether payment shall be made to the beneficiary directly or by means of reimbursement upon delivery or the relevant proof of payment. Exclusions and limitations Cover shall be

provided only once during each policy period. Only penalty points lost in connection with the insured vehicle and for a reason not excluded in the policy shall be taken into account.

Ian Harman? tweeted after a flight from Bratislava in Slovakia: “No soap in the toilets. Disgusting.” Meanwhile, Kay Leedham-Green claimed a Ryanair stewardess told her: “We no longer stock the toilets with soap.” Ryanair has labelled the claims as nonsense and said: “All our aircraft carry soap, which is replenished as required.”

Ryanair, cost cutting gone mad? British passengers have accused Ryanair of ditching soap in plane toilets. Cabin crew onboard the budget airline are said to have told passengers it is no longer deemed essential. Pensioner Alan Woodward, 71, said he was shocked to discover there was no soap as he and wife Wendy, 64, flew home from Spain. He told The Sun: “It’s frightening that people are expected to use the toilet and not wash their hands properly. One stewardess told me she now brings her own hand soap to work.” Woodward, from Oxfordshire in the UK, said the plane from Alicante last Friday was a new Boeing 737-800. He said the lack of soap was just the latest example of the Dublin-based carrier’s cost-cutting, which comes after Irish boss Michael O’Leary threatened to charge passengers for using toilets. Woodward, an ex-British Airways cabin crew chief, added: “If it was a restaurant or a cafe, it would be shut down.” Other passengers have reported similar no-soap situations.

Spanish filmmakers call for forum to tackle sexual harassment Concern about sexual harassment of women in the movie industry has spread to Spain, following the Hollywood scandal with the powerful producer Harvey Weinstein and the silence that lead to a cover-up of his alleged sexual harassment over many years. At a meeting held as part of the Valladolid International Film Week, women filmmakers have called for the creation of a forum to address and deal with the problems generated by possible and future cases of sexual harassment in the sector. The board of directors of the Spanish Film Academy has pledged to study the petition. The women’s association CIMA (Association of Women Filmmakers and Audiovisual Media), created 11 years ago, will prepare a questionnaire that will serve as a basis for a bank of possible cases of sexual harassment. The Valladolid International Film Week is the Spanish film festival of reference in terms of equity, both in terms of the official section, where nine of the 18

films that will opt for the Espiga de Oro award are directed by women, as well as in the honourable mention category where half were directed by women. By comparison, the San Sebastián Festival had only four of 18 films directed by women, Cannes had three of 18, Venice two of 21 and Berlin four of 24. The data tells an important story. According to a CIMA study, which will be presented in full in November, in 2016 only three of the 31 films that received production assistance were directed by women (Isabel Coixet, Icíar Bollaín and María Ripoll). As for other forms of aid given out in 2017, only 27.7 percent of ICAA funds has gone to projects presented by women – mostly low budget films or documentaries. Gender inequality in the audiovisual industry came to the forefront at a round table discussion with representatives of the various cinema trades. Director Chus Gutiérrez said she did not know of specific cases of sexual abuse,

but emphasized how women are portrayed in cinema. “We do not feel represented at all. Cinema reproduces stereotypes of women that aren’t real.” Producer Maria Zamora, responsible for titles such as Summer 1993, which will represent Spain at the Oscars, has advocated for a greater presence of women in decision-making forums and committees. “We have to be at the decision-making tables, at the festivals and television committees, in public institutions. This is where our presence is essential,” said Zamora. “Being an actor in Spain is complicated, but it’s much worse as an actress,” says actress Ana Gracia. According to a study by the Union of Actors, 60 per cent of film roles for actors aged 35 and under are given to men, while 40 per cent go to women. Between the ages of 39 and 45, the percentage in favour of the male actors increases to 67 per cent. Between 45 and 64, it reaches 70 per cent. “Women in the world of fiction do not exist in relation

to our presence in society,” said Ana Gracia. Female writers are not spared either. Of the top ten Spanish blockbusters in 2016, none had a female author. Coral Cruz, who has acknowledged that she has not been mistreated for being a woman, encouraged the writers to break the pressure that binds them to

write small films. “Women are able to write stories for the general public. We should not be reduced to only intimate and lowbudget films. It makes it difficult for the industry to see us as an example of profitability. We have to rely on ourselves more.”

This event was arranged to raise funds for the Stroke Association Spain, who are getting an increasing number of direct clients and referrals since moving to their new premises at the Cultural Centre in Benijofar.

Adapt helps families with school supplies

BUSY MONTH FOR THE RBL WITH LAUNCH OF POPPY APPEAL

For several years now the ADAPT association in San Pedro del Pinatar has made a significant donation of essential school materials to children from poorer families who attend Las Esperanzas school in San Pedro. The money comes from the group’s Tonne of Money collection and is always received with great appreciation.

In Spain children have to provide all their own materials and this can be a big drain on a family budget. In the photo are: Belén Andreu - Head of Studies; Adela Pérez - School secretary; Pedro Rebollo - English teacher; Jane Cronin Adapt committee member; Adrian Wrigglesworth - Adapt treasurer.

As the Orihuela Costa and District Branch of The Royal British Legion looked forward to it’s busiest time of the year, with the forthcoming Poppy Appeal, there was an opportunity for members to relax following their monthly meeting on Thursday night, when local entertainer Paul Cullen dropped into Mil Palmeras to entertain over 80 RBL supporters. Whilst it was only a whistle stop for Paul, as he was committed to sing at Paddy’s Point later in the evening, it was nevertheless a session that members thoroughly enjoyed, as they all sang along to songs from the sixties that many thought they had long forgotten. We had the Beatles and the Kinks, Herman’s Hermits and Gerry and the Pacemakers, the Animals and Cliff Richard.

Paul Cullen and Keith Brown

Even Emile Ford and the Checkmates was in there somewhere as Paul dug deep, while the members all screeched out in fine voice. There were one or two who knew the words but for most it was simply an opportunity to reminisce, as they recalled those bygone Saturday nights at the Mecca, hair held down with brylcreem or locked into place with a can and a half of hairspray. Paul gave a great performance and as he was thanked by Branch President Keith Brown everyone agreed that he will be welcome back anytime. The following day it was back to the Poppy Appeal as Don and June Williams held their Soup and Sandwich fundraiser in La Regia. Almost 40 people turned up to support their efforts in which the pair

Soup and sandwich

were ably assisted by Carl and Nicola Louden, in raising a splendid 250 euros for the appeal. Elsewhere on the Orihuela Costa and the Costa Calida the poppies have been distributed to bars and to other outlets where they are available for supporters to proudly purchase and display. They will also be on sale at all local markets, at Iceland and next Saturday and Sunday Chelsea Pensioners Wayne Campbell and Skippy Teasdale are flying out especially from the Royal Hospital in Chelsea to support the appeal at La Zenia Boulevard. Please remember that by making a donation for your poppy you are supporting those who have dedicated their lives to serving their country. It’s the very least that you can do!

Myths about cancer debunked Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK and it's estimated that 5,000 people will be diagnosed this Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There are so many myths floating around it's sometimes hard to tell fact from fiction. As with any cancer, the earlier the diagnosis the better chance of beating it, so make sure you know the real signs and symptoms. Here cancer experts debunk the most common breast cancer myths to make sure you know the facts… Myth: Most breast lumps are cancerous A lump is not necessarily a sign that you have breast cancer. Roughly 80% of lumps in women's breasts are caused by benign (noncancerous) changes, cysts, or other conditions. If you find a lump, don't panic - but you should have it checked just to be sure. Myth: Cancer is a man-made modern disease It might be more prominent in the public consciousness now than in times gone by, but cancer isn’t just a ‘modern’, man-made disease of Western society. Cancer has existed as long as humans have. It was described thousands of years ago by Egyptian and Greek physicians, and researchers have discovered tell-tale signs of cancer in a 3,000-year-old skeleton. It’s even been discovered in dinosaur bones. While it’s certainly true that global lifestyle-related diseases like cancer are on the rise, the biggest risk factor for cancer is age. The simple fact is that more people are living long enough to develop cancer because of our success in

tackling infectious diseases and other historical causes of death such as malnutrition. It’s perfectly normal for DNA damage in our cells to build up as we age, and such damage can lead to cancer developing. Myth: Breast cancer always comes in the form of a lump Many women examining their breasts wrongly believe they should be looking exclusively for lumps. There are other changes in the breast to look out for such as changes to breast skin (swelling, skin irritation or dimpling), changes to the shape and size of the breasts, breast or nipple pain, nipple inversion, redness, scaliness, thickening of the nipple or breast skin, or a discharge other than breast milk. Like lumps, these signs could indicate cancer but are more likely to benign conditions.

That’s not to say you shouldn’t think about what you eat. Some foods are clearly healthier than others. The odd blueberry or mug of green tea certainly could be part of a healthy, balanced diet. Stocking up on fruits and veg is a great idea, and eating a range of different veg is helpful too, but the specific vegetables you choose doesn’t really matter. Our bodies are complex and cancer is too, so it’s gross oversimplification to say that any one food, on its own, could have a major influence over your chance of developing cancer. Myth: Only women with a family history of breast cancer are at risk Roughly 70% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no identifiable risk factors for the disease such as a first or second degree relative with the illness.

Myth: If you're at risk for breast cancer, there's little you can do but watch for the signs There's a lot that women can do to lower their risk. According to Cancer Research UK, 27% of breast cancers are linked to lifestyle factors. Being obese increases your chance of having breast cancer by 9%. Lowering alcohol consumption can reduce the risk by as much as 6%, and being active can reduce the risk by another 3%.

Myth: Wearing an underwire bra increases your risk of getting breast cancer Claims that underwire bras compress the lymphatic system of the breast, causing toxins to accumulate and cause breast cancer, are not backed up by science. The consensus is that neither the type of bra you wear nor the tightness of your underwear or other clothing has any connection to breast cancer risk.

Myth: Superfoods prevent cancer Blueberries, beetroot, broccoli, garlic, green tea… the list goes on. Despite thousands of websites claiming otherwise, there’s no such thing as a ‘superfood’. It’s a marketing term used to sell products and has no scientific basis.

Myth: There is a miracle cure From cannabis to coffee enemas, the internet is awash with videos and personal anecdotes about ‘natural’ ‘miracle’ cures for cancer. But extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence – YouTube videos and Facebook posts are

emphatically not scientific evidence and aren’t the same as good-quality, peer-reviewed evidence. In many cases it’s impossible to tell whether patients featured in such anecdotal sources have been ‘cured’ by any particular alternative treatment or not. We know nothing about their medical diagnosis, stage of disease or outlook, or even if they actually had cancer in the first place. For instance, we don’t know what other cancer treatments they had. And we only hear about the success stories – what about the people who have tried it and have not survived? The dead can’t speak, and often people who make bold claims for ‘miracle’ cures only pick their best cases, without presenting the full picture. Myth: Wearing antiperspirant increases your risk of getting breast cancer There are claims that parabens and aluminium, used in some antiperspirants, may contribute to breast cancer development. But no cause-and-effect connection between toxin build up or aluminium exposure and breast cancer has been established. Myth: Small-breasted women have less chance of getting breast cancer Very small breasts and very large breast can be difficult to examine using mammography and MRI but there is no evidence to show that women with small breasts are less likely to develop breast cancer. Mammographers are specially trained to ensure women of all sizes can be screened. More important than size is the type of tissue the breast is made of. Very dense tissue,

which shows up white on a mammogram, can make it difficult to detect small cancers. Myth: Caffeine causes breast cancer No causal connection has been found between drinking caffeine and getting breast cancer. In fact, some research suggests that caffeine may actually lower your risk. So far, it's inconclusive whether breast soreness may be linked to caffeine. Myth: Stress causes breast cancer There is no evidence for this, but beware of over eating and drinking excess alcohol in times of stress, as this does increase the risk. Myth: An injury to the breast can result in cancer

There is no evidence for this although an injury to the breast may cause tenderness and a bruise may feel like a lump Myth: Women with lumpy breasts (fibrocystic breast changes) have a higher risk of developing breast cancer In the past, women with lumpy, dense, or fibrocystic breasts were believed to be at higher risk of getting breast cancer, but there doesn't appear to be a connection after all. However, when you have lumpy breasts, it can be trickier to differentiate normal tissue from cancerous tissue, so you should report any changes to your GP. Myth: Men can't get breast cancer Men have small amounts of breast tissue too. Around 400 men are diagnosed every year. Any changes or lumps should always be investigated.

Magic Threads at Mejorate The tensioning threads, also known as magic threads or tensile threads, are threads of 100% biocompatible material that achieve a lifting effect without surgery, a minimally invasive technique that can be performed on both the face and the body. The placement of the threads must be done by an aesthetic physician, and can be done in a medical consultation, without the need for an operating room. Depending on the area can be placed from 6 threads to 40. Usually a local anesthetic is used to place them and the area may look something inflamed and reddened for 1 or 2 days after treatment. Advantage • Treatment rejuvenates the skin from within • It allows to reaffirm the skin of the face and the neck

• Can be applied to lift glutes, eyebrows, cheeks, forearms, etc. • It is resorbable and safe • The results are natural and can last up to two years • The results are natural and can

last up to two years Expected results and risks The results are immediate. Being resorbable, they do not usually have side effects. Even so, small bruises may appear which will disappear on their own after a few days. The treatment The tensioning threads are inserted in the dermis one by one,

with the aid of a guide needle, in one direction and in the opposite direction, creating a kind of mesh that holds and stretches the skin. Around them will stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Care after treatment The doctor will advise not to wash your face until after 12 hours. The patient also can not exercise and should avoid sun exposure. To calm the slight discomfort after treatment and minimize swelling, the specialist will recommend the application of cold compresses in the treated area for 1 or 2 days. Contraindications Tension threads are not recommended in pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as in people with skin problems. It will be the specialist who best values the indication of this treatment according to each patient

Spanish food company launches ‘diet avocados’ Food giant Isla Bonita is claiming that its new green-skinned fruits are slower to turn brown and contain only 70 percent of the fat found in a normal avocado. The Spanish Heart Foundation’s Food Health Programme has certified the new range. Avocados can provide half your

day’s fibre, folate, vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium. They are packed full of essential nutrients and avocado benefits include improved heart health, hormone balance and better digestive health. The oils provided by an avocado include oleic acid and linoleic acid and can help to

prevent high cholesterol.

Business Profile

Second Best Boutique celebrates 6th anniversary One of Orihuela Costa’s favourite clothing boutiques is about to celebrate its sixth birthday. Located just off La Zenia roundabout inside Easy Ads, Second Best Boutique has always been a favourite of ladies who love quality clothing at affordable prices. Over the years the boutique has grown and evolved, starting life as a 200 square feet focussing on high quality nearly new

clothing. Six years on and Second Best occupies 800 square feet and its stock is now 80 percent new, but sold at cost price to ensure that it is always reasonably priced. All new stock is sourced in London and can often be seen at treble the price in top UK stores. The range at Second Best Boutique includes: occasional wear, cocktail dresses, Mother of the Bride, evening

wear and cruise wear. The Boutique also has designer wear from labels such as Joseph Ribkoff, Gray & Osbourn, Simply Be, Michele Magic, Vera Mont and Gina Bacconi. With the change of the season winter coats and knitwear are currently new in stock and there are also gorgeous accessories such as shoes, hats, hand bags and costume jewellery to complete any outfit. Second Best Boutique

specialises in the fuller figure with sizes from 8 to 28 in clothes and 3 to 8 in shoes. It also stocks swimwear and underwear and men’s occasion, cruise wear and shoes. New stock arrives several times a day at Second Best so there is always something new to suit everyone´s needs. All nearly new stock is in immaculate condition and only been worn on one or

two occasions and everything is cleaned and pressed before being displayed. Owner Amanda said: “I would like to thank all of my regular and new customers for their continued support, without them the Boutique would not be the success it is. Many customers have been with me from the start, calling in on a regular basis to look at new stock. There are couples who always visit before their annual cruise to make sure they have a new wardrobe to take with them and certain holidaymakers always have a little room in the suitcase to take a few bargains back. All of them have played a crucial role in growing the business.” Amanda has an expert eye for style and colour and knows instinctively what items in her collections will suit which customers. She often creates cruise wardrobes for customers and accessorises evening wear to really make the most of an outfit. Second Best Boutique is located off the N332´s La Zenia roundabout inside the

Easy Ads store. You find the Boutique towards the rear. Easy Ads – C/Maestro Torralba - is next door to the Randy Leprechaun and a few doors up from the Dog & Bone/Eurochange. The Boutique is open from 10am to 6pm Monday to Friday and from 10am to 2pm on Saturdays.

Pat via email asks: I hope you are able to help me. Last evening I was downloading a film when a pop-up appeared which I was unable to close. I stupidly ignored it until the film had finished downloading and I now find all my docs & photos etc are blank and I have to pay a website to unencrypted my files. Is there anything I can do to restore my files, and most importantly are my bank accounts etc now exposed? Thank you for any help you are able to give Aunty Says: This is not good. This kind of “ransomware” was recently in the news when it hit the NHS and EU Police systems and it really has taken viruses to a whole new level. Your personal files and photos have been locked & encrypted so that only the unlock code will let you get them back, and you will need to pay. If you have a backup then don’t try a restore as the virus will almost certainly encrypt the backup copy. This kind of infection doesn’t normally target your Internet banking etc but you don’t know what other infections you may have picked up so I strongly recommend a full scan with your antivirus program and Malwarebytes or SuperAntiSpyware. Dennis via email asks: Hi Aunty. I‘m getting my wife a new laptop for Christmas and I want to transfer all of personal stuff from my old computer before I donate it

Technology

to a neighbour’s son. How do I do this so that on my old computer, no one can access my photos and documents etc, or access internet information like emails and web surfing? Aunty Says: Hi Dennis. Transferring your photos & docs from one computer to the other

is pretty easy but it will depend on how well organised your files and folders are, and how much stuff you have. You can buy a 32GB USB flash memory stick for under €10 and use this to copy/paste everything from one machine to the other. On your old computer, right click on a folder and from the menu that pops up choose ‘copy’ and then right click on the USB stick and choose ‘paste’. The USB stick should appear after plugging it in as a new drive in My Computer or File Manager. Once you

have double checked that you have everything from your old computer you should really physically destroy the hard disk in the old one as it isn’t difficult to retrieve data even after the computer has been wiped. Steve via email asks: Dear Aunty. Is there any way to recover from an Update failure which my Compaq Presario attempted to do without warning? I was using it wirelessly at the time when it began the process and I could not stop the programme running but it then displayed a warning “bios update failed” and the laptop will not boot up. The only sign of life is the caps lock keeps flashing but I cannot get any screen to display and none of the F-keys respond either. Aunty Says: Hi Steve. This problem can happen with Windows updates or BIOS updates and unfortunately a failed BIOS update can result in a dead computer, but try this quick fix before we get to deep into it; unplug the laptop from the mains, remove the battery and wait 10 minutes and you may be lucky. If this fails then I’m afraid it is a pretty complicated process to “flash” a new BIOS file so let me know how you get on. Any questions you can email me at auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and hopefully see you all next week.

The Department of Sports promotes Lawn Bowling Sports Councillor Víctor Valverde, along with the Petanque Club of Orihuela attended a recent meeting at the Vistabella Golf Club of Entrenaranjos, where all the Lawn Bowling clubs based in Orihuela Costa met. He gathering was led by Bob Donnelly, delegate of the Valencian Federation for the sport.

It is planned that members of local clubs will also travel to Orihuela soon, as a returned courtesy to this visit from the Councillor and to learn about the game of petanque.

Your Week in Sport –by Chris Darwen ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

Let’s just be grateful Pep Guardiola wasn’t a manager back in the 1950’s eh? Pep likes his balls to be heavy, this is the main takeaway from last night’s League Cup ties. That’s right, the reason Manchester City could only get past Wolverhampton Wanderers on penalties was that the ball “was too light for top-level football”. Actually, I do tend to agree. They are too light for kicking around on the sodding beach, let alone the Carabao Cup. I’m not saying we should go back to the need to cross the ball so well the laces are facing away from you when you head it (something Sir Stanley was apparently good enough to do) but I do think that the original Adidas Tango should make a reappearance or even those traditional Mitre’s we all grew up using. I say “we all”, I do of course mean those

of us that watched football before it was invented in 1992. If Pep likes his footballs to be nice and heavy, just imagine how good City could have been when it was all about the Busby Babes.

They know that they need to get back into winning habits so put Middlesbrough to bed 3-1. How bad are Middlesbrough now? Garry Monk must be looking at Leeds and thinking he is a bit of a prat.

This Michael Appleton fella is taking to management almost as well as that Craig Shakespeare did, and we know how it ended for him. Leicester City sorted themselves out against Leeds and eased through 3-1. A manager who has been around slightly longer than Appleton is Roy Hodgson, and he was beaten by a gaffer over half his age and English in Bristol City’s Lee Johnson. Palace scored (well, it is the League Cup, they do it there) but managed to let in four to the Championship side. Will Roy make it to Christmas? It was a game to be won and you never know, winning does sometimes become a habit.

Manchester United learned a few lessons from their shock defeat at Huddersfield. Not all lessons, admittedly, as Jose still picked Victor Lindelof but Swansea City posed no real threat and Jesse Lingard scored, and danced like a prat, twice.

You didn’t see Bournemouth messing about with it last night, no.

La Siesta Bowls Club In the Enterprise Division the Apollos visited San Miguel and won on two of the six rinks gaining 4 points to their opponents 10 losing the overall match by 100 shots to 87. Highlights for the Apollos were the rink of Dawn and John Taylor with Brian Fraser winning 20-17 and Ramsey Sinclair,Brian Gardiner and Alex Morrice winning 16-13. The Pioneers travelled to Country Bowls in the Voyager Division and a convincing win by 103 shots to 96 and winning on four of the six rinks thereby gaining 10 points to their opponents 4.Winners for the Pioneers were Tetyana Oliver,Jack Burrell and John Clark by 2610, Sue Mahomet with Derek Smith and Pat Reilly by 22-15,Penny Porter,Tony Campbell and Rab Logan 20-10 and by the closest of margins Hilary Clark, Trish Reilly and Vic Mahomet 16-15. Our Winter League game travelled to Greenlands and in a close match shared the spoils with each team getting six points. The overall shots just favoured La Siesta by 92 shots to 89. The winning rinks were the consistent rink of Joy

Gardiner,Jim Hudson,Dave Blackie and Jean Cooper keeping up their 100% record so far winning by 26-9.The other winning rink was obtained by Barbara Cooper,Tetyana Oliver, George Richardson and Brian Fraser who won by 23-13. The Blues entertained Greenlands Oaks and there were some very close encounters with 2 rinks finishing level at 15 shots each.Winners for the Blues were Sheila Chorley,Norman Adcroft and Jenny Bowman 27-20 and Dawn and John Taylor with Brian Harman 1613.However, the Oaks picked up 8 points to the Blues 6 with an overall shots win by 112 to 90. The Golds visited El Rancho to play the Broncos and came away with 3 points.These were gained by an excellent 29-10 win for Hilary Clarke,Molly Russell and Vic Mahomet whilst John and Penny Porter with Alan Ralph managed a 17 all draw.The overall shots went to El Rancho by 121 shots to 97. By Rod Edgerton

THE SAVIOUR HAS ARRIVED. THE SAVIOUR HAS ARRIVED. Arsenal will officially sell Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil by the weekend now that they have Eddie Nketiah. No, me neither. He came off the bench with Arsenal losing 1-0 at home to Norwich City and he scored twice. Can he be Arsenal’s Marcus Rashford? Christ, can he even be Arsenal’s Paul Merson? For a club that used to bring so many top players

through their youth team, it would be nice to see Arsenal add to Alex Iwobi and, er, Jack Wilshere. Norwich were unlucky though, they were denied the clearest of penalties. Funny how Arsene wasn’t as incensed as the one that got given against him at Watford, eh?

David Unsworth

David Unsworth has thrown his hat in the ring to be the next Everton manager, following Ronald Koeman “leaving the club” on Monday. Unsworth wants to show he is a “winning manager” which would suggest he has a firm grasp on the basics. However, he probably will do

cannot steer. She drifts away too fast for the others to swim and catch her. They are picked up by the support boat and taken back to shore. Cuatro drifts downwind and onto, then over the reef and finally beaches. The support boat returns and finds all the remaining boats are safe but almost immediately the next disaster. The late starter Mistral comes close to the same reef before tacking only to go into irons and hit the reef. She is too big to drift over it and Colin and Leon can’t get her off so the support boat goes to her rescue and, after a struggle in the conditions, manages to tow her off and back to the jetty. Thank goodness we bought the 40hp engine. The remaining 5 boats continue in the difficult conditions until poor Mick, in the tiny Sea Hopper, suffers gear failure as he starts the last lap and is forced to retire. The Race Officer is not sure if the afternoon race should go ahead but everybody except Leon is keen to go. 7

West Ham’s owners have screwed up again. Why wait and give Bilic another two games? Everton have moved. Leicester City have moved. That’s two clubs that now have first dibs on the managers out there. Anyone they don’t appoint are basically going to be castoffs, rejects. So what will West Ham end up appointing when they sack Bilic in early November? They will end up appointing managers that even Everton and Leicester didn’t feel were good enough for them. The board will disagree, they will think they will be shopping at a nicer supermarket, but when it comes down to it Messrs Gold and Sullivan, you can dream Ancelotti but you’ve got no hope at all.

EL RASO GOLF SOCIETY Thirty-one people attended the October El Raso Stableford competition held on 27 October at the La Marquesa course. After a fine sunny day the results were as follows: best guest was Arty Crammon. N.T.P´s were Fred Reeve (5 & 17) Lauraine Walker (11) and Craig Hall (15). Best front

nine was guest Paul Howe and best back nine went to Lauraine Walker. Competition winners were: third Steve Sayers 34 pts (cb) second Craig Hall 34 pts (cb) and in first place Carin van der Kruijs also with 34 pts but winning overall on the countback system.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER DARLING It’s Sunday October 22nd, people are arriving at CTD Los Alcazares for the SAMM race day. Instead of the 15 knot winds forecast the day before, they are greeted by 18 knots gusting 21. The water is fairly flat as the wind is from the ENE. Shall we risk it? A big YES! Seven boats come to the start and off they go at 11.30am followed 10 minutes later by Colin and Leon on Mistral who had a gear problem to fix first. All made the first mark but, tacking upwind on the way to the second the first disaster. Julian in his Topaz Duo capsizes 8 times in as many minutes. He’s a small guy and does not have the weight to counter the wind strength, so retires. The next disaster is Bob, Jeff and Norman in the Gamba, Shoestring Cuatro, who capsize just before completing the first lap. Cuatro is a heavy boat and they struggle to get her up, with the SAMM support boat standing by in case they need help. Up she pops at last with only Norman on board, but the tiller is damaged and he

enough to get the job. Equally, he will do OK for the rest of the season. But what odds on him being the first manager sacked next season and ending up leading Bolton back into the Championship for the 2019/20 season? Got to be worth a punt.

boats start at 2.40pm and find the wind has now dropped to 15 gusting 17 which is a bit more manageable. There is a bit of excitement at the start when Lavanter, Robert, Bob and Ernie, have their wind taken and, not only hit the starboard start mark but get it’s anchor line caught around their keel and drag it out of position. Luckily all boats except one have started so no need to organise a re-start. After getting clear she follows the fleet but is about 8 minutes behind. A passing holidaying dinghy sailor has joined Julian on the Topaz, so no capsizing. In fact all boats complete an exciting race, with Lavanter managing to haul in other boats and cross the line in 5th position. Results on handicap Morning race: Tug/John, Shoestring Tres. Di/Jack/Vernon, Shoestring Uno. Bob/Robert/Ernie Lavanter. Afternoon race: Tug/John, Shoestring Tres. Julian/Bernard, Topaz Duo. Di/Jack/Vernon, Shoestring Uno.

Thanks to Grant and Issy at the Olde Ninth for their continuing hospitality after the game. Our next game is on Friday 24 November at the interesting course of Saurines.

Tales from the Top Flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

Once every so often a weekend happens in English football where nothing out of the ordinary appears. This readers, this is one of them. United won. City won. Chelsea won. Liverpool won. Even Arsenal won. Both Palace and West Ham would have normally lost, but they were playing each other. Oh, and a group of English kids cobbled together went and won a World Cup. As I said, a perfectly normal weekend. So where to start in this mediocre end to October? We could go to Old Trafford I guess where Tottenham arrived without their injured strikeforce of Harry Kane and, well it’s just Harry really isn’t it? The game was quite an entertaining 0-0 until United went and did what United have done more than most teams this season and score in the last ten minutes. Jose put his finger to his lips to tell people who criticise and talk too much to “calm down”. There is absolutely zero chance dear Jose was referring to himself. As there was little else to moan about, Mourinho took aim at the Manchester United fans for not supporting Romelu Lukaku enough over the course of 90 minutes. I’d take that as meaning Jose was quietly pleased at picking up three points against a team believed to be title contenders. Antonio Conte (see image) was not best pleased at media suggestions that

Carlo Ancelotti had been texted by some of his team, complaining about training. The media love to stir things up, especially when Conte always looks like he is one press conference away from

either way we were denied to see whether the old adage of “getting back on the horse” was relevant at Anfield. Liverpool eased past Huddersfield 3-0 and there was a rare sighting of the lesser

storming out and heading back to Italy. But, boringly, Antonio and Carlo are good friends and there is no way the former manager is returning to replace the current one. Oh, and Chelsea beat Bournemouth 1-0. I’m not sure if Jurgen Klopp had suddenly realised he’d left Dejan Lovren in the team to play Huddersfield and made a late change to save us all laughing at him or that Lovren genuinely did pick up an injury in the warm up, but

spotted Daniel Sturridge who played, scored and is currently waiting to learn which bit of his body is now broken. Tony Pulis had promised to try something different against Manchester City and it turned out he meant “attacking”. Of all the teams to throw off the defensive shackles against, Tony chose Pep’s City. Yet, it almost worked. Sure, City scored three just like they normally do but WBA scored two, which must have almost doubled their October

ABBEY ANGLING This week’s 7th round of the Winter Series was fished at the Embalsa de Pedrera on the 24th October. We tried fishing a different area on the lake now that the water is down, which we hoped would take us out of the stick-ups, which it did, but the bottom was quite rocky and a couple of us got snagged up a few times.

RODS & REELS Our 7th round of the Summer Series was fished this week on the river Segura at Murcia on the 25th October. The new Weir is now nearing completion with the storm gullies on the roadway having now been concreted level, making it easy access driving on and off , so a great improvement there.

tally. I actually wonder whether Arsenal do it on purpose. The atmosphere at the Emirates at half time against Swansea had gone from quiet to awkward silence as the visitors led 1-0. Within 15 minutes of the restart Arsenal had the game sorted, and the fans that were interested in making some noise were audibly questioning why the Gunners didn’t just to that to begin with. Only West Ham United could win a game from two goals down during midweek and then throw away a two goal lead against a team that has not scored two goals of their very own this Premier League season. West Ham led against Palace, meaning they had managed to score five without reply in their last game and a bit. Clearly this freaked them out as they contrived to grasp a draw from the hands of victory, a draw that Slaven Bilic said “felt like a defeat”. Andre Ayew, not the most favourite of Hammers currently wearing the shirt, scored the kind of wonder goal that means defenders fear for their lives when they concede a goal like Wilf Zaha’s deep into injury time. Roy Hodgson seems to be genuinely enjoying the struggle, wheeling out the standard relegation zone cliche of “teams at the bottom need two things, character and ability”. Personally, Roy, I feel teams at the bottom need exactly the same as every other team that plays this beautiful game - goals and clean sheets. Claude Puel is planning to seduce

Riyad Mahrez into staying at Leicester City now he has been confirmed as the new manager. If it is not too x-rated, I will keep you up-to-date with his progress. An alternative method would be to win games of football and Puel got right on with that, beating David Unsworth’s Everton 2-0. Considering Unsworth became caretaker this time last week with the battlecry of making Everton good again by “winning football matches” his record of two played, two lost is making it more and more difficult for Keysey and Gray to justifiably say he should get the job. Not that they will need any more reason than the the mere fact he is British, hey? Speaking of British coaches, Rafa Benitez said this weekend that it was easier for an Englishman to get the England job than it was to get a Premier League job. Yes Rafa, Gareth Southgate proves that. A Championship level manager at best managing a Championship level side. Brighton and Southampton pretended they were some kind of derby match long enough to draw 1-1. They are doing alright Brighton, and look! An Englishman is in charge. Someone tell Keys and Gray. Finally, Troy Deeney is fast becoming known for things that aren’t completely related to playing football as he managed to kick off a bit of handbags at the weekend, this following his assessment of Arsenal the other week. Either way, Stoke won 1-0 from a cleverly worked set-piece. Hang on, didn’t they appoint Mark Hughes to change all that?

TEAM:DANI, ALEX, FERNANDO, MANUEL RODRIGUES, MANUEL SANCHEZ, LUIS, CARLOS VENTURA, VAZ, PASTOR, DIMITRY, MACCAN. SUB’S:- AITOR, FRAN, KOKO, DANIEL SAEZ, GERMAN. Playing away against a team in 3rd place was never going to be easy.However after only 3minutes Monte went ahead when CARLOS VENTURA tapped in from close range. The game changed when after 30 minutes CFB were awarded a penalty, when yet another long punt up the pitch found the Monte goalie, DANI, having to accidentally bring their centre forward down in the box. DANI however pulled off a wonderful double save, first in mid-air, then alongside the right post, to deny CFB an equaliser. Just 5 minutes later, from a long throw-in MANUEL SANCHEZ squeezed he ball in with their goalkeeper wrong-footed. The large group of travelling MONTE fans were still celebrating, when straight from the restart, the home side pushed forward and pulled one back with a fierce drive which left DANI with no chance. Monte hit back with 2 chances, but had to settle for a 2-1 lead at half time.

The second half started with Monte pressing, and were rewarded when VAZ beat their goalkeeper when turning, producing an overhead kick which found CARLOS VENTURA in front of an empty net, to make it 3-1. Within a few minutes following a lovely through ball to VAZ, who smashed the ball past a stunned goalkeeper sending Monte 4-1 up. ALEX, LUIS and PASTOR were replaced with DANIEL SAEZ, KOKO and GERMAN. DANI was then called upon to make a great save from a close range header. Following a breakdown of one of the flood-lights, it was becoming difficult to see one corner of the pitch. The fans were dreading an abandoned game for this reason, but after about 15 minutes, the light was restored. A breakaway saw Monte go 51 up when LUIS finished off a move involving several players. With 20 minutes left the home side pushed forward with nothing to lose and missed two very good

chances in a 5 minute spell before VAZ went and missed a easy chance of his own. An excellent game, in to be frank, poor surroundings. There were no obvious signs of toilets to be found, hardly any seats for the fans, no dug-outs for the players, no protection for fans from stray balls or errant players, and no refreshment facilities. For a playing field in the centre of a major City, a poor showing. Not the players fault, however not knowing the circumstances of the history or development of the team, but I've seen far far better in little villages in the middle of nowhere. A magnificent following of fans. The team were awesome, everyone would have been up for any man of the match award. MONTE ARE AT HOME TO C.D. ALTET ON SUNDAY THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER K.O. 4.30 P.M.

Adjusting to the Preparing for Winter Clock Change Carrying Gas Canisters This weekend, the clocks again had to be changed, as the winter nights start to become darker, though mornings a little lighter. However, although this change in time might seem insignificant, it can cause an imbalance in our body which in turn can cause fatigue, sleep or distractions that can have an impact on road safety. One of the biggest changes the body will experience during the change is that whilst the pace of life remains the same, the hours we have become accustomed to change. Medically, it is known that the change in time can also lead to an increase in the chance of suffering migraines or stress related conditions as a result of the change. These episode can cause a distraction in their own right and can lead to incapacity at times, but some medications can also cause problems for drivers, so always check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are feeling symptomatic or taking any kind of medication. Sleep experts say that the best way of overcoming the problems the body identifies is to maintain a stable sleep and meal pattern, making sure you get a good 8 hours sleep per night, and avoiding stimulants such as caffeine. Sleep deprivation and drowsiness is a known contributing factor in many road related incidents. In fact, drowsiness is the primary cause in 30% of all daytime collisions and incidents. More than 40% of all incident son the roads are closely related to fatigue, closely related to sleep, and almost 20% of these incidents involve commercial vehicles. Reaction times are increased when sleepy, and a person can suffer severe reductions in

concentration, motor and sensory delays, resulting in mistakes in movements and decisions, as well as perceptual disturbances. Drivers who are normally at risk of sleep related incidents include shift workers, young people, those with sleep-related illnesses and whilst driving under the influence of alcohol and / or drugs. As for the time that most sleep related incident occur, it is on a weekday, Monday to Friday, between 08:00 and 20:00, and more often during routine drives, as well as on long-haul journeys. Although this is a human condition which can and should be monitored by every individual driver, scientists are doing their bit to try to reduce the problem as well. In 2014 the Biomechanics institute in Valencia announced the development of a new system they were calling HARKEN. The system was based around the development of a seatbelt which monitored a driver´s heart rate and gave an alert if the person´s body was showing signs of drowsiness, urging the driver to pull over for a rest. However, it is important that we all do the same thing and monitor our own feelings, stopping for a rest if we are starting to feel tired, regularly on long journeys, sharing the driving and being prepared to respond to our own body´s warnings in good time. Whilst taking these facts into consideration, one final thing to remember is to change the clock in your car to reflect the change in time, after all, there is always one clock somewhere we forget. Mark Nolan

As the clocks have just gone back, and despite the weather still seeming warmer than normal for the time of year, it´s time to remind ourselves of the safe and legal process for carrying gas canisters in the car. Although the gas supply companies will deliver the bottles to your home, many people find it more convenient to pick up their own supply at many of the outlets across the country, exchanging the empty bottles for full ones, but in order to do this, we have to think about the safety and security implications of carrying a potentially lethal canister. Depending on their size and weight, the canisters can be very heavy as they are filled with pressurised gas. At home, care should be taken as to where they are stored, in well ventilated places, away from heat and ignition sources, far away from toxic materials and always in an upright position. In the car, it is equally crucial to take the necessary steps to ensure your safety and the safety of other road users. Spanish law states that you can carry 2 gas bottles of up to 15kg in the car, and they must be carried in an upright, vertical position. You must also take necessary measure to ensure that the canisters are secured in the vehicle and cannot move during the journey. The law also states that when you are carrying gas canisters, it is forbidden to park the vehicle in an underground car park. You should also check with your local supply company for their recommendations for storage and carriage, as gas canisters can pose a major threat if not handled correctly, but are perfectly safe if the advice is followed. If you´d like to practice your Spanish, here is the Royal Decree which relates to carrying Gas in the car... Real Decreto 919/2006, de 28 de julio, por el que se aprueba el Reglamento técnico de distribución y

utilización de combustibles gaseosos. Centros de almacenamiento y distribución de envases de gases licuados del petróleo (GLP). 6. Transporte de envases de GLP: Que los vehículos particulares que transporten envases de GLP tendrán limitada su carga a 2 envases móviles de hasta 15 Kg. de capacidad unitaria. Además indicar que: Los envases, tanto llenos como vacíos, con válvula de seguridad, se transportarán siempre en posición vertical en sus correspondientes jaulas para el transporte o correctamente estibadas. Los envases

nuevos o reparados, sin gas, en transporte desde fábrica o taller a la planta, podrán ir en posición horizontal. Los envases, tanto llenos como vacíos, deberán ir sujetos y se tomarán las disposiciones necesarias para evitar su caída durante el transporte. Queda prohibido el estacionamiento de vehículos que contengan envases de GLP, cualquiera que sea su volumen de carga, en estacionamientos subterráneos.
