Paediatricians detect pandemic related problems in children Paediatricians in the Valencian Community have detected an increase in psychomotor problems in children due to the pandemic. the pandemic has brought with it a change in children’s habits and activities, with consequences that

are already beginning to come to the attention of paediatricians and other specialists. the greater sedentary lifestyle and overuse of screens over the last two years are causing alterations in muscle tone, balance and speech. experts are also warning that the

more sedentary lifestyle of children over the last two years of pandemic is causing delays in their psychomotor development. Some professionals report that they are attending up to 40% more consultations for these particular problems. dr Saúl López, of the Psicoactua centre commented, “We see that children generally have lower muscle tone and lack of strength in their upper limbs, they also have balance difficulties, many parents consult because their children constantly fall.” dr López said that he and his colleagues are witnessing that the development of motor patterns, such as running or jumping, are delayed. “Parents are concerned that their children, from the age of three, find it difficult to jump, and we even observe how children are taking longer to learn to ride a bike.” these problems generally affect children between the ages of two

and 6. “above those ages we attend to many cases of kids with difficulties maintaining their posture and staying still,” says López. these problems in psychomotor development began to manifest before the pandemic, with the increase of screens, but with the coronavirus they have only worsened. three months of initial confinement have been followed by a year and a half of restrictions, with times when playgrounds have been closed, after-school activities have been suspended and schoolyards have been divided out with less space for children to play. the result is much more sedentary children, a phenomenon that is also closely related to socioeconomic conditions. “a family that has spent these two years in a small apartment with hardly any balcony is not the same as another that lives in a chalet,”

See page 12

explains María Garcés, a pediatrician and member of the Valencian Pediatric Society. dr Garcés is also seeing children with delays in the onset of speech, also the result of increased use of screens. on many occasions these delays are confused with more serious problems. “at the 18-month check-up we screen for autism and sometimes the symptoms are confused,” says pediatrician eva Suárez, president of the Valencian Pediatric Society. dr Suárez says that the majority of cases are being detected in children born during confinement or who were very young when lockdown began. Fear on the part of the parents is also a factor, says dr Suárez, saying “there are families who tell us that at 12 or 15 months, children spend more time than is desirable in front of the tV because they don’t dare take them to daycare or leave them with their grandparents.”

Fewer fatal accidents than lockdown the alicante province registered fewer fatal accidents in 2021 than in 2020 when the population was under strict lockdown. the province of alicante registered 34 deaths on interurban roads during the past year, according to provisional data released by the General directorate of traffic (dGt). Most Spanish provinces registered worse figures compared to 2020 when mobility was reduced due the global pandemic. alicante is, however, one

of the 18 provinces across Spain that registered fewer deaths despite the increase in mobility. as for the roads in the province that registered the highest accident rate, the dGt has not provided exact locations of each of the fatal accidents, the ‘worst’ roads can be gleaned from the overall report. the n332 at Pilar de la horadada and orihuela Costa registered a number of fatal accidents, as did the n325 at Crevillente – noted for a high level of use by motorcyclists.

Torrevieja fishing fleet nets €3.8m Last year was a complicated year for many industries, not least the fishing fleet based out of torrevieja harbour. despite the complexities, the Fishermen’s association this week announced its figures for 2021 and it seems there has been some recovery in the industry with the turnover increasing and activity on the up. the ‘local’ fleet is made up of torrevieja boats as well as boats from other ports which choose to use torrevieja as a base to catch and sell their fish. these usually come from Santa Pola and Murcia, but can also come from as far afield as Malaga. the fleet closed the 2021 financial year with a turnover of €3,872,463 having auctioned 1857 tons of fish at market. the figures represent an increase on 2020 when 1555 tons of fish brought in €2,573,000 for the local

industry. Fishermen attribute the main reason for the recovery to the sardine. over the last 12 months, local fishing boats caught 597 tons of sardines, bringing in €1,024,000. the most valuable fish to the local fleet however remains the anchovy with 906 tons caught, bringing in revenue of €2,360,000. up to 34 different species went under the hammer at the torrevieja fish market in 2021, although sardines and anchovies dominate the market. tuna such as emperor (8 tons), little tuna (28), Mediterranean bonito (14), melva (25), sorell (26) and southern mackerel (88) were also on sale. Fishermen also caught plenty of sardinella, which is very abundant but has a very low market value.

Burglary gang using glue marks torrevieja Local police used its social media channels to warn homeowners that gangs are using glue or silicone to identify unoccupied houses. Gangs of roaming burglars are using thin glue strips on exterior property doors to determine whether or not a property is occupied. Police say that the robbers place thin strips of glue or silicone on the outside gates of chalets, or

on the entrance doors of houses or apartments – if the houses are occupied, the glue strips are broken by the occupants opening the door. if the glue remains intact when the gang return, they take it that the owners are not at home and attempt to break into the property. the method is prevalent all over the alicante province and as recently as early 2020, the national

Orihuela Medieval Market cancelled due to the increase in COVID-19 infections orihuela town hall has made the decision to cancel the celebration of the popular Medieval Market, scheduled to take place from February 4 to 6, due to the high number of Covid 19 infections. organisers said that it is assumed the event would have been attended by a large number of people and they could not guarantee the distance and safety measures set out by health authorities. “health and safety come first”, commented Mariola rocamora, Councilor for Fiestas. the town hall explained, “the Medieval Market of orihuela usually takes place in the historic old part of the city made up of narrow streets, with a significant number of visitors and hundreds of artisans from all over the country, objects are shared, food and drinks are consumed... in addition to making use of bars and tables in restaurant areas, with a very high percentage of participants who are standing and in continuous movement throughout the event. to all this we must add that, although the department of Festivities is aware of

Mariola Rocamora makes the announcement

individual responsibility, it cannot be guaranteed that everyone respects the established health regulations such as the correct use of the mask, distances, disinfection measures.”

Police issued a warning about the method when officers discovered around 50 properties marked in this manner. national Police suspected at the time that an ‘itinerant band of thieves’ were behind the incidents and urges residents to call 091 if they find this type of marker on their property. investigating officers reported that this type of marking system is commonly used by organised gangs of thieves from eastern european countries. torrevieja local police said this week, “Burglars place glue threads between the frame and the door to locate empty houses and break in. Pay attention and if you see them call 091.”

Anti covid chewing gum they say that necessity is the mother of invention and never has that been more true than when it comes to the global pandemic. ideas and innovations have been generated at a blinding pace and hundreds of the world’s best minds have come up with ideas such as the transparent mask for use around people with hearing difficulties, and the anti covid nasal spray which according to Spain’s CSiS (Superior Centre for Scientific reserach) is working. the latest, and one of the most surprising, innovations has been developed in Spain. a chewing gum that works to prevent the spread of the coronavirus is set to on sale in the Canary islands. the product has been developed by a group of Spanish scientists and was launched this week by biologist and doctor in Molecular Genetics from the university of Cambridge, Marcos isamat, along with the director of the agitated ideas communication agency, antonio González Cuevas. the gum is called “Chewing Mask” and in a few weeks it will be on sale in the Canary islands. the creators define the anticovid gum as a ‘chewable mask’ that works like an oral hydrogel. this anticovid gum is composed of three acids of natural origin that lower the ph of the mouth and in this way destroy the lipids that surround the viruses, so it can prevent the spread of coronavirus or other

diseases such as the flu. the gum is aimed at close contacts – those who have been in the vicinity of people who have tested positive on an antigen or PCr – in order that it prevents the virus entering the system. although, the creators say it could also be used by people who are already infected, with the intention of reducing viral load. the functioning of the anticovid gum is simple, when chewing it an average of four times a day, the acids that

compose it mix with the saliva, thus blocking the entry of viruses such as covid through the mouth. in a tV interview this week, one of its creators, Marcos isamat, clarified that “this is not only anticovid gum, but also prevents the entry of any other virus.” Specifically, “it destroys viral particles through a sudden drop in ph in the mouth.” in addition, he announced that the product will be sold in grocery stores and kiosks and will have a price of about two euros.

Most people start their property search online. and why not? it’s a great way to get ahead of the game. it not only saves you time, but you can easily narrow down your search before choosing which property to see in person or virtually. But what happens if you see a property that’s not photogenic? not every home is “picture perfect!” Some homes just take better photos than others. remember second hand (resale) homes are not model homes. they’re lived in.

1. rooms not Being used in the Way For Which they Were intended – a bedroom could be used as a dining room, or a dining room could be used as an office. just because the current homeowners are using their space for what suits their lifestyle, doesn’t mean you have to keep it that way. imagine your own furnishings in the room. 2. Wall Colours – if you’re seeing listing photos displaying walls that are an array of unwelcoming colours, try to imagine what a fresh coat of white paint will do! 3. Lots of Personal items on display – homes that sell quickly have one thing in common. they offer a neutral ambience. From the colour scheme to the lack of personal items on display. if you’re looking at a home that’s full of clutter, you could grab yourself a deal, so don’t swipe past it – it could be a keeper!

if you’re making your selection by going only off photos that are not clear and clutter free, you may just pass by on what could be your hidden gem!

if you see a home online that’s in a great location, go see it - virtually or in person! ignore the things you can change, and consider whether you can make the home your own!

here are 3 instances, that could be off putting when you’re searching online for your home, but shouldn’t stop you from viewing it, and consider making an offer, particularly if you love the style, layout or location:

What’s the secret to investment success? the golden rule of successful investment is to align your portfolio with the level of risk you wish to take. But in 2022 this will be more difficult. Stock markets face an array of challenges, with higher interest rates, surging inflation and the threat of new Covid variants among them. here are ways to make the most of your investments in the months ahead, whatever your appetite for risk. LOW RISK you might consider yourself to be sheltered from storms if you have a mix of deposit accounts, Premium Bonds and only a small amount in shares and investment funds. But this strategy could be derailed if you

are unknowingly exposed to areas that are more hazardous than they seem – and inflation can take a big toll on deposits. you should think about whether any funds you hold are still suitable for you. MEDIUM RISK a balanced portfolio is every investor’s aim. But in the past two years it was easy to be diverted by the gains on uS markets. as a result, many have too little invested in the uK which is still regarded as undervalued. HIGH RISK you may be inclined to shrug off inflation anxiety, but even some at the audacious end of the investment spectrum are looking for some safety-first holdings.

the clamour for microchips – which will be amplified by the growth in artificial intelligence, augmented reality and 5G – is good news for those investing in technology funds. if all this seems rather daunting, then help is at hand with the Seagate Wealth team. at Seagate we pride ourselves on putting our clients first. are you having regular meetings with your adviser? are you a client with an investment or pension but no adviser? if this applies to you then act today and call us. as a firm of advisers that all previously worked for uK banks we believe that a good relationship with our client is at the heart of our business.

Alicante airport passenger numbers down 61% in 2021 alicante-elche airport closed 2021 with an increase in passengers compared to 2020 but without recovering, or even approaching, the 2019 ‘pre covid’ figures. the airport closed last year with 5,841,181 passengers, a figure that represents a decrease of 61.2% on 2019, when the terminal surpassed 15 million passengers, a historical record. Figures were up 56.2% on 2020 when flights were grounded during lockdown. despite the grim figures, alicante airport fell just one position in the aena network rankings, dropping to sixth place, surpassed by Gran Canaria. the employers’ association of the airlines and aena itself estimate that the return to pre

Figures showed a significant increase in arrivals from countries whose passengers were directly linked to labour emigration. these included 22,120 ukrainians,

35,575 romanians, 35,339 Lithuanians, 16,732 Czechs, 26,639 hungarians and 6,000 passengers from Latvia, in addition to 45,513 russians, some of whom were down as arriving for both tourism and work. in the whole of Spain, the airports in the aena network closed in 2021 with a total of 119.95 million passengers, which represents 56.4% less passenger traffic in the same period of 2019. the adolfo Suárez MadridBarajas airport registered the highest number of passengers in the aena network in 2021 with 24.1 million, which represents a decrease of 60.9% compared to 2019 and an increase of 41% compared to 2020. this was followed by the Barcelona-el Prat airport, with 18.8 million passengers (a decrease of 64.2% on 2019 and an increase of 48.2% on 2020); Palma de Mallorca, with 14.4 million (-51.2% on 2019 and + 137.3% on 2020); Malaga-Costa del Sol, with 8.8 million (-55.3% and + 72%), Gran Canaria, with 6.9 million (-48% and + 34.4%); alicante-elche, with 5.8 million (-61.2% and + 56.2%); ibiza, with 4.8 million (-40.5% and + 129.9%), tenerife South, with 4.6 million (-58.8% and + 35.8%) and Valencia, with 4 million (52.2% and + 63.9%).

New school for Orihuela Costa the general director of educational infrastructures of the Ministry of education, Víctor Garcia, has visited orihuela Costa as part of a tour to look at the progress of the works of the edificant plan in the municipality. these are funded by the Consell but managed by orihuela City Council. as part of his tour, the politician paid a visit to the Los dolses CeiP, accompanied by members of the local council and explained that the plan is “to expand the investment of almost 20 million euro”, for the improvement of educational centres with the construction of a new school in orihuela Costa, which would be built on a municipal plot of land next to CeiP Los dolses”. “this new school would mean an investment of between 5 and 7 million euro more by the department, which would allow us to decongest the CeiP Los dolses and improve educational care in an area of growing expansion on the orihuela coast”, he said. orihuela is the municipality to which the department of education has awarded more funds for the construction and improvement of educational infrastructures throughout the Valencian Community: a total of 21 measures. of these 21 actions, 13 are already completed, another 3

are under construction, 4 are in the process of works by the council, while one of them is in the final phase of awarding funds via edificant. t Victor Garcia explained “the total commitment of the Ministry with the modernisation of the educational infrastructures of orihuela”. he has also thanked the orihuela City Council for collaboration in improving the city’s educational centres and he has always been willing to study the requests that may be generated from the town hall. to the 18.2 million euro of investment in edificant, another 1.3 million must be added in two works that the Ministry itself will undertake this summer in

orihuela, which includes the investment of 700,000 euro in various improvement works at CeiP Los dolses, which will be put out to tender shortly. this last scheme he said, “will allow us to definitively solve the discrepancies that have existed for years around the wall separating the school with an adjoining urbanisation. the department will to put an end to the problem, and voluntarily set back the line dividing about 15 cm within the school plot to be able to build a 4-metre-high wall with which to guarantee the privacy of the students, their sports courts, the kitchen, the façade and the fence of the centre”.

Did you take pension or investment advice since moving to Spain? By Sam Kelly dipPFS, eFa, Ba (hons) Managing Partner Chorus Financial i’m sure many of you reading this will already be aware of Chorus Financial, and the essential message we have been spreading across the British communities of Spain over the last few years. From the day we opened, we have campaigned for transparency in the investment, pension and financial planning industry here in Spain – we are very proud that those campaigns have won us international awards. For too many years iFa’s have targeted our communities with so-called ‘solutions’ loaded with layer upon layer of hidden fees, inappropriate risk, and unnecessary product tie-ins. Brits have been encouraged to ‘transfer your pensions overseas!’ for apparent tax benefits that in many cases

don’t exist. you’ve been tied into investment plans and unwittingly paying 2, 3 even 4 times more than you realise, and have no doubt been left scratching your heads over how you haven’t seen better returns over so many years of strong markets. We’ve even seen an alarming trend of clients being encouraged to take their pensions as ‘annuities’ for apparent tax benefits. these solutions are now resulting in Brits in our area being investigated by the Spanish authorities. While Chorus Financial have already helped hundreds of clients on the Costa Blanca avoid such practises, we are now upping our efforts to educate those living in your area, to help ensure you do not

become yet another victim.

have no idea such fees apply.

all too often these recommendations are made because the iFa is getting paid by all parties – so you agreed to pay them an initial or annual fee, but beyond that, an insurance company, or ‘bond provider’ (for example Spanish Compliant Bonds) have paid them up to 8% initial commission – that is facilitated by locking you into these products for up to 10 years, where you could be paying 4 times more than you need to. then lastly the fund managers pay them. So rather than an iFa going into the open market and carefully selecting high quality, low-cost funds, clients are finding themselves shoe-horned into particular funds that pay commission to the adviser. Such funds can add as much as 3% per year in charges, and often the clients

at Chorus we make a simple promise:we are only ever paid by one party – our clients. and you only pay us specific fees we have clearly explained to you, in both monetary and percentage amounts. that means that when we select products you pay the lowest price available, and when we select funds, we do so with fees and quality at the forefront of that advice. if you have concerns over existing investments or pensions, or are considering a new solution, speak to a Chorus Financial adviser today. an initial consultation is free and without pressure or obligation.

GBP / EUR UPdatE GBP despite the relentless flow of politically troubling news from downing Street, the GBP has performed well over the last month, leading the premier currencies and strengthening by an average of 2.3%. over the last week, although it was outperformed by the more volatile northern Scandinavian crowns and by the Commonwealth dollars, it did well against the safe-haven jPy and took nearly two cents off the uSd. investors are apparently unconcerned by the possible defenestration of the prime minister, believing that his departure would not inevitably mean a major change in government policy. until this Friday morning, the week’s uK economic data gave investors little to work with. the halifax house price index rose 1.1% in december for an annual rise of 9.8% in calendar 2021. the BrC reported satisfactory retail sales for the festive period but “head winds for 2022”. today’s output and trade data were mostly ahead of forecast and better on the month. Manufacturing and industrial output were up by 1.1% and 1% respectively. Gross domestic product expanded by 0.9% in november. there was no immediate reaction to the numbers from sterling.

EURO Where the GBP was resilient to the political risks, the eur was similarly oblivious to the european Central Bank’s breezy dismissal of the risks posed by inflation. it was fractionally higher on average, firming by a fifth of a cent against the GBP and taking the best part of two cents off the uSd. this was perhaps a surprise, given the consumer price index data that appeared last Friday. headline inflation was up at 5%, a record high that exceeded analysts’ predictions. the energy component of the shopping basket played a massive part, rising 26% in 2021. at the eCB, however, the official stance is one of insouciance. the bank’s Chief economist Philip Lane told rte that “we do think in this year inflation is going to come down”. the current spike “is basically part of a pandemic cycle” and “in that sense it should not be interpreted in terms of historical norms: the pandemic is a unique episode”. For the avoidance of doubt, dr Lane also “reiterated the official eCB stance that it would be highly unlikely for interest rates to be changed this year.” away from Frankfurt, many analysts are rather less nonchalant. they believe the eCB will be forced to reconsider its ultra-accommodative monetary policy, not least because of growing pressure from within the Governing Council.

From Facebook to all other information sharing applications. they also have precious photos and videos stored on computers and mobile devices. Watching “ rip off Britain” on BBC made me realise that most people make no provision for family to have access to their photos, videos and mobile devices should they not be around. recently i tried to help someone get into an iPad that belonged to his now deceased sister. that was not possible without information only known to his sister. i could not even put it back to “Factory Settings” so he could use it. i contacted apple support by telephone. they were very helpful and asked me try many different things. Without this personal account information there was no way to use this iPad. there was one option where a lawyer had to be used to get a court judgment to allow apple to give access. if you have precious information, photos or videos that close family members would want access to after you are no longer here you need to take action now.

you can appoint a family member to take on responsibility and gain authority from all providers of your digital information and accounts. you can also appoint a “digital Will executor” who you provide with all your account and access details for your online presence. they will also need details of how to access your devices. Martin of Torrevieja asks “Do I need antivirus software on my mobile phone?” there is little chance of getting a virus on a mobile phone but using an antivirus app will provide you with reassurance that all is well with your phone. that saying you should always take reasonable precautions when receiving emails particularly from someone you don’t know. avoid dealing with emails that contain a long list of other recipients. this often happens when friends send you the latest jokes.tell your friends not to include these other addressees or ask them to use bcc. do not click on links within emails from people or companies that you do not know. For antivirus apps search for “antivirus apps” in Play Store or app Store.

Pre approval granted for new Agamed office and education centre the Board of directors of water management company agamed, chaired by the mayor of torrevieja, eduardo dolón, has approved the preliminary draft of the company’s new headquarters, as well as the space that the town hall will use as a multifunctional educational centre, located on the site next to the Vista alegre exhibition centre in town. the land where the building is to be constructed belongs to the town hall so once the building is constructed, it will be owned by the town hall – including the first two floors which will house the agamed offices. the second, third and top floor will house the multifunctional educational centre. eduardo dolón has announced that the education centre will become a university Venue for the city of torrevieja. in this sense, the mayor has announced that both the university of alicante, the Miguel hernández university and the uned would be in a position to set up campus in this building. the Mayor was keen to stress the positive impact this will have on the immediate surroundings – in addition to the 40 staff working at agamed, the footfall of customers coming to use the office, and of students coming to the university, will have a real

impact on commerce. eduardo dolón highlighted that it is an exciting project because of what the building represents in architectural and functional terms. the new agamed offices will incorporate improvements to increase sustainability and accessibility such as the installation of an air renewal and disinfection system to make the environment safer. it will also feature an interactive self-service area, where touch screens will allow customers manage transactions. the new office model aims to help improve the relationship between agamed and its customers,

promoting a new concept of a face-to-face service that is more technologically advanced. once public procedures have been completed, agamed will request a demolition license to demolish the rear building and hangars that currently exist on site. the total demolition could then be carried out in april. at the same time, the building permit will be processed so that, immediately after the demolition, work can begin on the building which will take an estimated 18 months to complete. therefore, if everything goes as planned, the building could be operational for the 2023/24 academic year.

Happy New Year from Doctors sue over lack Rojales Panto Group of PPE protection Even though their planned Pantomime, Treasure Island, will not now be performed until later in the year in December owing to various unforeseen circumstances, the members will still be enjoying the social side of the Group’s activities throughout the year and the cast are looking forward to starting rehearsals again for this very funny and entertaining pantomime. The Group’s Christmas party was thoroughly enjoyed by lots of members at La Cosecha restaurant and they raised €80 for the Stroke Association from a raffle the prize being a fabulous Hamper full of lots of seasonal goodies and cheer. Some of the members of the Group not only enjoy performing on stage, helping in the wings or front of house at their performances but all members are a very social bunch of people who enjoy lots of different events which are arranged by the very enthusiastic Social Secretary. A spokesperson told the Costa Blanca People, “We also are very proud that the Group have raised over the years thousands of euros for local charities. So, if you are looking to join a group, whether it’s to

Medical workers in Alicante Province have been awarded compensation for having to work without personal protection equipment (PPE) at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. A court in Alicante ruled that the Valencian regional government had failed to protect doctors during the first three months of the health crisis. The government was told to compensate each of the 153 doctors who filed the claim with up to €49,000. Doctors who were forced to work without personal protection suits but did not get infected will receive €5,000 each. The compensation increases to €15,000 for doctors who were forced to isolate, and €35,000 for those infected but did not need hospital care. Medical workers who were hospitalised with coronavirus after lacking proper equipment can receive €49,000, the judge said.

“This ruling is groundbreaking in Spain,” said Dr. Víctor Pedrera, secretarygeneral of the Doctors’ Union of Valencia CESM-CV. Spain, like many countries, struggled to supply its health workers with personal protection suits and face masks during the first months of the pandemic. The national government imposed a strict lockdown for several weeks after declaring a state of emergency in March 2020.

The Alicante court said a lack of personal protection suits had created “a serious safety and health danger for all health workers, especially for doctors due to their direct exposure.” The ruling said that the region’s health administration failed to meet its duty to protect the doctors “from the moment it knew of the existence of COVID-19 and, in particular

after the declaration of a national state of emergency.” Pedrera said more claims are coming from other groups of doctors in Valencia and he expects even more lawsuits to come from health workers of all types across Spain. “I am sure that other groups of health workers and doctors from other regions will be encouraged to go forward with their own lawsuits,” Pedrera said. “This will be on the one that opens the door.” Appeal Valencia’s government will appeal the ruling, but regional president Ximo Puig has issued an apology to the medical workers while saying that the initial impact of the pandemic was ‘completely unexpected’. Regional President Ximo Puig said: “We do not agree with this approach but we do apologise to the professionals who did not have enough protection.”

Covid vaccine certificates expire after 9 months After receiving the green light from the European Council on 16th December, the European Union’s Commission has announced that it has adopted new rules regarding the EU Vaccination Certificate, making the same valid for a period of 270 days. So from 1st February 2022, EU vaccine certificates issued in Spain are only valid for 9 months, meaning for most people they expire around March this year. The EU Commission states that the uniform acceptance period for vaccination certificates will ensure that the Member States also coordinate travel measures amid COVID-19. It also claims that the validity period has been based on available scientific evidence as well as objective criteria. “This validity period takes into account the guidance of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, according to which booster doses are recommended at the latest six months after the completion of the first vaccination cycle. The Certificate will remain valid for a grace period of an additional three months beyond those six months to ensure that national vaccination campaigns can adjust and citizens will have

access to booster doses,” the Commission explains. Data revealed by the Commission shows that to date, 807 million EU Digital COVID Certificates have been issued in the EU, while over 60 countries and territories across five continents have joined the system through which these certificates are checked and verified. According to the Commission, with the new validity period of vaccination certificates, b o o s t e r doses will be recorded in the certificates. Booster doses of t wo - d o s e

vaccination series will be recorded as “3/3”, whereas booster doses of single-dose vaccines will be listed as “2/1”. At the same time, those who recovered from COVID-19 and received the first dose of a two-dose vaccine will have it recorded as “2/1” in their certificates. The certificates will not hold a validity date, but the mobile

applications used to verify the EU Digital COVID Certificates will be adjusted in order to check and verify whether 270 days have passed from the last vaccination date or not. “To allow for sufficient time for technical implementation of the acceptance period and for Member States’ booster vaccination campaigns, these new rules should apply from 1st February, 2022,” the Commission notes. Commenting on the decision to make vaccination certificates valid for only nine months after the last dose, the Commissioner for Justice Didier Reynders once again called the Digital COVID Certificate a success story, adding that the same should be adjusted to changing circumstances and new knowledge, in order to remain a “success story.” The EU Commission first unveiled its plans to make COVID-19 vaccination certificates valid for only nine months on 25th November. Since then, several countries, including Austria and the Czech Republic, have already imposed the measure.

San Fulgencio holding patron saint festivities with adapted open-air events The programme of events will run until Monday 24 January. San Fulgencio is set to celebrate the fiestas in honour of its patron saint and co-patron saint of the municipality, San Fulgencio and San Antonio Abad. The events were announced by the mayor, José Sampere, who reported that after having to cancel many of the activities last year because of the pandemic, “this year we have decided to go ahead with those events that are more characteristic and that can take place outdoors and following all health safety measures”. In this way, and although a full programme of events will not take place, some traditional events such as the blessing of bread and animals, typical of this celebration, will be resumed, “always with the recommendations of the authorities, such as wearing a mask and keeping a safe distance”, said the mayor. Sampere also indicated that “the presence of Civil Protection volunteers from San Fulgencio and the Local Police is planned, so that they can check that those attending comply with all these instructions for the interest and well-

Property bubble There has been an uptick in prices in the Spanish real estate market, but it can’t be classified as a bubble - or at least not yet, in an opinion that is widely shared by market analysts and academics. Housing will continue to get more expensive in 2022 in line with economic growth and inflation. Though the European Central Bank (ECB) has flagged up the sector’s “exuberance” – a term used to substitute “bubble” – it appears to be referring to the housing market in other countries rather than in Spain. But in a sector increasingly exposed to global investment trends, a degree of contamination cannot be ruled out. Housing has become more expensive in Spain in 2021, contrary to what many experts were predicting a year ago. The National Statistics Institute (INE) will not publish the official data until March, but the annual growth rate up to the third quarter stood at 4.2 percent, showing a clear upward trend. Meanwhile, CaixaBank’s research service - which quantified the average rise in 2021 at 1.9 percent (well below other sources) - believes that the rate will double and reach 4 percent in 2022. “There are some worrying symptoms,” says Gonzalo

Bernardos, director of the Master’s degree in Real Estate Consultancy, Management and Development at Barcelona University. However, he sees the risk of no more than a “light bubble” and makes it clear that the situation is very different from the 2008 global downturn: “If there is no financial crisis and the banks are not in big trouble, there would only be a market freeze and prices would fall,” he says. At the root of what could lead to a bubble is, he says, the imbalance between the supply of new houses and growing demand, but he stresses that a bubble of whatever dimensions would not, in any case, happen until 2024. However, the international outlook is bleak. As early as mid-2021, a Bloomberg analysis concluded that “real estate prices around the world are

flashing the kind of bubble warnings that haven’t been seen since the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis.” Later in the year, supervisory bodies such as the ECB and the Federal Reserve warned of “exuberance” and “vulnerabilities” in housing markets. Will trends taking off elsewhere catch on in Spain? “Undoubtedly,” say the experts. The question is, knowing how long it will take. Academics also believe that we can expect an increase in prices due to inflation. In situations of general scarcity, ‘the investment market buys houses’. This trend is being reinforced as negative interest rates have driven the most conservative investors out of the bond market. All the economic scenarios appear to lead to the ECB and the withdrawal of monetary stimulus.

Elche scientists identify molecule responsible for brain size Neuroscientists from the University in Elche have identified which molecule is responsible for the size of the human brain. A group of researchers led by Víctor Borrell, from the UMH Institute of Neurosciences in Elche and the Higher Council for Scientific Research, have identified a small molecule in genetic material which is responsible for brain size. Named MIR3607, the molecule is activated

during embryonic development in mammals with very large brains, such as humans, and remains switched off in those with small brains, such as mice. “Its main function is to increase the number of neural stem cells to enhance the formation of neurons,” explained researchers. “MIR3607 during embryonic development was selected by evolution to enhance in most mammals the expansion of the cerebral cortex, the most evolved part of the

brain.” In contrast, in rodents the loss of this molecule led to a small and smooth brain, unlike most mammals, “which evolved into large and folded brains”, concluded the study published in the journal Science Advances. The team found that, in species with small brains, the ‘silencing’ of MIR3607 during evolution ‘led to a dramatic decrease in the size of its cerebral cortex, which ultimately determines the size of the brain.

Later, the traditional ‘recogida de la gallina’ took place in which, accompanied by the town band, representatives from the town hall visit the houses of those who donated a hen for a raffle.

The Interministerial Commission on Drug Prices, a body of the Ministry of Health that includes other ministries and the autonomous communities, has announced it will limit the maximum price of antigen tests sold in pharmacies across Spain. The maximum sale price for antigen tests will be €2.94. Prices surged in the run up to Christmas in the face of huge demand in the midst of the spread of the Omicron variant of Covid 19. “The debate we had before and during Christmas has been, above all, about the supply of these antigen tests; there was an exponential increase in demand but not in supply. This issue has been resolved; and now we will get to control the price of the pharmacy antigen test,” said Pedro Sánchez when announcing the price cap. According to the consumer association Facua, the lack of antigen tests has led to price increases of up

to one hundred percent. Through the analysis of 150 pharmacies in Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Valencia and Vitoria, they found prices that ranged between €4.95 and €10. Minister of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation, Nadia Calviño said that the intention is to lower the price of antigen tests “as much as possible because it is essential,” although “The communities have different approaches.” In terms of points of sale, the government still insists that only pharmacies can sell antigen tests because of ‘security reasons’. Large chains such as Alcampo, Carrefour, El Corte Inglés, Ikea and MediaMarkt have offered to sell antigen tests to facilitate their distribution among citizens and help combat the tsunami of omicronderived infections. However, for now only pharmacies remain permitted to sell the diagnostic tests.

Fundraisers for the San Jose Obrero orphanage wanted to express their gratitude to all of those who helped with Christmas gifts for the children. In particular, they wanted to thank: Sunleys, The New Salon, Shape4Life, Residents of Eagles Nest, Willow International School and TKOfm. Rita Huntley also donated from a fundraising raffle and at the New Salon in San Luis, some of the children had their hair cut for free by Dawn Gibson followed by lunch supplied by Emma and Dan of Cariad. Dawn said, “I so enjoyed meeting them, what a great bunch of kids.” To find out how to support the orphanage, contact Ken and Lyn Adams on 674474431.

How to use an antigen test With the Omicron variant now widespread, many of us are having our first encounter with an over the counter antigen test. Rapid antigen tests are available from pharmacies, with a new price limit of €2.94, and can give you a result in around 15 minutes depending on the brand of test. Rapid antigen tests are not as reliable as PCR tests. You are more likely to get false negatives (the test indicates you don’t have COVID-19 when you do) but the accuracy of antigen tests does improve if administered when you have symptoms or within 7 days of when you think you might have been exposed. However, the accuracy of rapid antigen tests improve if you do them when you have symptoms or within seven days of a potential exposure. How do you perform the test? Tests come with instructions. You must follow the instructions to the letter to get an accurate result. If you

How do I punish my 14-year-old daughter? She has been behaving badly for several months. My mother says she will grow out of it, and to ignore it because that’s what she did with me, and I have turned out ok (her words). However, my daughter is getting worse. Her father is not interested, and I don’t speak to

cannot read Spanish, you can use the camera function of a translation app such as ‘google translate’ in order to see the instructions in a different language. Depending on the test type, you will collect a sample of nasal secretions or saliva, which you place into a chemical solution. You then place that chemical solution (usually 2 drops) containing your sample onto an indicator, which looks a bit like a pregnancy test. Tips for an accurate result • Check the expiry date. Never use a test that has expired • Some tests need to be at room temperature for 30 minutes before use so check the instructions • If you are using a nasal swab, blow your nose before collecting the sample. If using a saliva test, don’t eat or drink for half an hour before collecting the sample • Avoid contaminating the sample.

him - we live apart. Our daughter is an only child. She didn’t take the split well. You don’t tell me how your daughter is misbehaving; however, the behaviour is disagreeable to you, and if ignoring it is not working as your mother suggests, then it’s possible your daughter

Regardless of which test you use, instructions can ask you to clean a flat surface; wash or sanitise and dry your hands; and lay out the test items. Never, ever touch the business end of the swab (the soft end that goes in your nose) as you will contaminate it. • Follow the instructions on sample collection to the letter. For example, with a nasal swab you will be asked to insert the swab until you feel resistance, rotate the swab five times, and do this in both nostrils. Once you have collected the sample it goes into the chemical solution. Some tests (such as those issued by the NHS in the UK) ask for the throat and nose to be swabbed – if so, swab the throat first and then the nose. • Place a set number of drops (as per the instructions) of the solution on the indicator device. Don’t add extra “for good luck” as this can compromise your test result.

• Read the results at the exact time re co m m e n d e d. For example, the instructions may ask you to read the result no earlier than 15 minutes after adding the solution and no later than 20 minutes. After 20 minutes the result may no longer be accurate.

is doing it to try and get attention. If she didn’t take the separation well, this could have a lot to do with it, but remember she is now a teenager and that’s how they behave. You ask how to punish your daughter, so perhaps her actions do need a reprimand. If so, withholding privileges is aways worth trying. Work out what is most important to her; her phone, the internet, her liberty perhaps, then and curtail it. If your daughter at present does not help around the house and do chores, then set her some, and

stick to it. I am assuming you give her pocket money? Then this could be a good way of her earning it; but only if she behaves herself. If her behaviour improves, then continue with the chore system so it does not look like punishment, but a way of contributing to the running of the household. Make sure you praise her for helping out and doing a good job. If people feel valued and appreciated, and have a purpose, it can make a huge difference to their state of mind.

What do the coloured lines mean? There are two coloured lines to look for. One is a C (the control). This tells you if the test is working properly. The other is a T (test) or Ag (antigen). And it’s the combination of these that gives the result: If the C coloured line fails to show,

the test is invalid. The test kit may have expired, or you didn’t take the test correctly If the C coloured line shows and the T (or Ag) line does not, your result is negative (you’re unlikely to have COVID-19) If both the C and T (or Ag) lines show up, your result is positive (you’re likely to have COVID-19). Even a faint T line indicates a positive result.

Carrying Goods Between the UK and Europe

From 2 February, the EU is introducing new rules that mean if you operate loaded goods journeys in and between European Member States (cabotage or cross-trade), you may need to register information digitally about your journeys on a new EU web based portal. This will include details of the operator, driver, driver employment details, dates of travel, and the vehicle used before the journey commences. This will apply to you if you use: • vans of any size or other light goods vehicles (sometimes called ‘light commercial vehicles’) • vans towing trailers • cars towing trailers • HGVs • HGVs towing trailers This will also apply to you if you transport goods between 2 points in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway for commercial purposes. This includes: • cabotage jobs • cross-trade jobs • moving goods for your own business’ use Although the portal is not yet available, the EU has said that it will be available ahead of 2 February. To use the service you will need to register, then you will be able to add details of your drivers to reuse when adding journeys. You can prepare now by getting your information ready ahead of the portal opening for registrations. You’ll need information about your: • company • transport manager • drivers Company information To create your account, you’ll need your company’s: • name • address • country of registration • email address • VAT number • registration number

• UK Licence for the Community number Transport manager information To create your account, you’ll need your transport manager’s: • name • office address • email address • telephone number • CPC certificate number • Driver information To create your account, you’ll need this information for each of your drivers who drive in Europe: • full name • date of birth • email address • home address • driving licence number • driver card number • internal reference number (for example, their employee number) • ID document (for example, a passport) - you’ll need the document number, the issue date, the expiry date, and which country issued it • start date of the drivers’ employment contract with you • applicable law (what country’s law they’re employed under) You’ll be able to upload your drivers’ details in a bulk file. Check back for more information about what format this needs to be in. When you’ve created your account, you’ll then be able to register your journeys (make a posting declaration). Register your journeys Registering a journey is also known as making a ‘posting declaration’. Each time you register a journey, you’ll assign a driver that you’ve already registered on the EU portal. You’ll also need: • the start and end dates of the journey (posting) • the type of operation (cabotage or international carriage) • the type of transport (goods or

passenger) • the vehicle registration (number plates) of the vehicle and trailer • contact details for your transport manager or another contact person in the UK (so European countries can ask for further documents) You will get penalties if you do not register the journey. Documents your driver will need to carry From 2 February 2022, your driver must carry a digital or physical copy of the information you register for the journey. The rules are not changing for the other documents your drivers will need. They will still need to carry all of the usual: • vehicle and trailer documents • driver documents - including tachograph records • export documents - including an electronic consignment note (e-CMR) or a paper CMR Your drivers will get penalties from the enforcement authorities in the European countries they’re stopped in if they do not have the right documents. Documents European countries can ask you for From 2 February 2022, enforcement authorities in EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, will be able to ask you (as the operator) for: • copies of the documents that drivers have to carry • documents about the driver’s pay during the journey, their employment contract and timesheets for their work You must upload the information you’re asked for using the online service. You must do it within 8 weeks of being asked for it. The Traffic Commissioners for Great Britain or the Transport Regulation Unit in Northern Ireland will be able to take action against you if you do not upload the information.

Traffic accidents claimed the lives of 1,004 people last year In 2021 there were 921 fatal accidents on Spanish roads in which 1,004 people died and another 3,728 were seriously injured. These figures represent 97 fewer deaths (-9%) than in 2019 (reference year) and the second best year in the historical series, only behind 2020, the year in which 870 people died but this is a distorted statistic for the pandemic. The Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, has indicated in the presentation of these data that “the balance of road accidents in 2021 indicates that we have maintained the positive trend of reduction in accidents that we have experienced in the last decade, but we must add that the assessment cannot be positive because 1,004 deaths on the road last year are too many “. Grande-Marlaska has presented the provisional balance of road accidents 2021 referring to accidents that occurred on interurban roads with deaths at the time of the accident or in the following 24 hours. The minister has been accompanied by the general director of Traffic, Pere Navarro; the head of the Guardia Civil Traffic Group, General José Ignacio Criado, and the prosecutor of the Road Safety Chamber, Bartolomé Vargas. The number of 3,728 seriously injured as a result of a road accident has also been reduced by 705 people, 16% less than that registered in 2019 (4,433). As far as mobility is concerned, during the past year 393.7 million long-distance movements by road were registered, which is 8% less than those made in 2019 (427.1 million) and 23% more compared to 2020. This decrease in mobility has occurred in light vehicles (-10%) and mainly on weekends (-15%). On the other hand,

heavy vehicle traffic has been higher (+ 3%) than that registered in 2019. The fleet of vehicles has increased by 2% compared to 2019, reaching 33.2 million vehicles and the census of drivers remains the same as in 2019, with 27.3 million drivers. By periods of the year,the decreases in mortality (-9%) and mobility (-8%) have not had a homogeneous behaviour throughout the year. The year began with significant decreases in both mobility and accidents, due to the fact that until 8 May there was a state of alarm, a period in which mobility restrictions were established. From that moment on, there has been a recovery in displacements, so that in summer there was practically the same mobility and it is from September that increases are observed, even exceeding the displacements registered in the same period of 2019. Regarding the accident rate, May and June, the months immediately after the state of alarm came out, were negative: mobility had not yet recovered, but fatal accidents had. In June 2021, 116 deaths were registered, 38 more than in 2019, thus becoming the month with the most deaths of all last year. The summer ended with levels of mobility very similar to 2019 and a reduction in deaths of 12%. The third four-month period, with greater mobility, the deceased decreased by 10%. By type of road. Compared to 2019, deaths on conventional roads decreased more with -9% than on motorways with -8%. Specifically, 723 people died in traffic accidents that took place on conventional roads (72%) and 281 on

motorways (28%), so that the ratio of every 4 deaths remains stable, 3 are on conventional roads and 1 on the motorways. By type of accident. Compared to 2019, deaths in frontal collisions decreased by 22% and deaths in road exits by 7%, even so, these continue to be the most frequent type of accident with 39% of deaths. By type of user. 38% of the deceased were vulnerable users, that is, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and users of personal mobility vehicles. Specifically, there have been 383 deaths, 61 less than the 444 in 2019. Regarding the number of pedestrians who died (110), 59 were on the motorway and 51 on conventional roads. Among those killed on high-occupancy roads, 19 were drivers or occupants who had gotten out of the vehicle and 23 were pedestrians walking or crossing. There is 1 deceased in a personal mobility vehicle, despite the fact that they are prohibited from driving on interurban roads. By age. The greatest decrease by age group occurs in the group over 65 years with -25%. The accident rate of young people between 15 and 24 years of age increases, from 112 deaths in 2019 to 138 in 2021. By day of the week. The greater recovery in mobility on weekdays is reflected in the accident data, which despite the decline in deaths, is greater on weekends (-17%) than on weekdays (-1%). Safety accessories. 140 people traveling in cars and vans (26%) were not wearing seat belts at the time of the accident. Eight cyclists and 10 motorists did not use helmets either.

San Miguel Golf Society 12th January 2022 at Villamartin The course was in good condition, especially the greens. As usual a slightly chilly wind to start but all in all a perfect day for golf, which led to some great scoring from our members. Notably: Mick Semour must have thought he was top golfer with 41 points, only to be pipped at the post by a refreshed Mike Jordan, also with 41 points (after a layoff, been practising?). Our scratch golfer, Mike Stott scored a very respectable 37 points despite turning up with a lukewarm putter. At least 4 birdy putts slipped by, next time Mike. Our thanks to all the staff at Villamartin for an enjoyable (St Micheals) day. Next week we are at Las Colinas. There are still a few places left so drop us an email if you fancy a game.

Our opening game for 2022 was held at Alicante Golf Course when we had seventeen members turning up to compete. The course as usual was in first-rate condition, most of the par threes are a very good test of golf but with many of the tee’s playing forward it did cut down the distance from tee to green. We returned to Little Leia’s bar which is located close to Consum supermarket in Quesada for our presentation, where we were greeted by the bar’s friendly staff who had reserved tables for us. Onto our results our members managed to hit five of the courses six par threes in one to get into our NTP competition, the third, sixth and fifteenth holes were taken by Rob Ashman who took home three bottles of wine, the twelfth was won by Chris Soane with Keith Loughrey winning hole seventeen, individually taking home a bottle of wine for each hole that they won, the wine had been

awarded to our members by the owner of the bar Ian, in second place with thirty-five points was Barry Grinsell also receiving wine, we must say a big thank you to Little Leias for sponsoring us, our winner with an excellent score of thirtysix points was our Vice president Ian Allison who received a bottle of Brandy, three players shared our two’s pot they were Keith Loughrey, Terry Sharley, and Rob Ashman, our soccer card winner was Keith Loughrey. Our February game will be held at Font de Llop. Our presentation ended by Terry Sharley being presented with a trophy for being our Player of the year 2021. If you are interested in joining our small friendly society (it’s free ) please contact me at bustersgolfsociety@ hotmail.com stating your phone number, and handicap, and I will usually get back to you within a couple of days.

tAlES FROM tHE tOP FliGHt opinion. Many thought West Ham would chalk off another simple enough win at the Athletics Stadium - the visitors being struggling Leeds. Not a bit of it though, as Jack Harrison conjoured up a hat-trick in a 3-2 win meaning my spurious claims that Bielsa might not last January look more foolish than ever.

Finally! Write this date down, folks. You may wish to refer to it in the future when the conversation strikes a chord of “yeah, but when did Everton last get anything right, eh?” You’ll be able to pipe up the 16th of January 2022 - when they sacked Rafa Benitez early enough on a Sunday that it was able to be accurately reported in this column with no deadline issues. Of course, this still won’t please the vast majority of Everton fans who will remind us forevermore that Rafa should never have been appointed and should, at the very least, have been sacked before he could flog Lucas Digne to his Champions Leaguewinning skipper Stevie G for a mere £25m. That’s the kind of blinkered thinking that has got Everton into this mess in the first place. The final nail in the Benitez shaped coffin came courtesy of Norwich City (and Michael Keane) who have now achieved the most remarkable of feats in not being bottom of the Premier League despite having only scored ten goals in 21 matches. Michael Keane now has 1/10th of Norwich’s Premier League goals this season and as soon as he screwed in a cross from a tight angle, you just felt that this was the beginning of Rafa’s funeral march. Benitez claims he was trying fix five-years worth of mistakes Goodison Park. Be that as it may, not easy to manage a small club, Rafa?

to at it’s eh

January 15th 2022 was the day the ‘greatest Premier League title race of all time finally came to an end. Man City increased their overnight lead at the top of the table to a mere 13 points with their 1-0 win over Chelsea. Tuchel’s nearly-£100m man looked

Abbey Angling On Tuesday the 11th of January we fished the second round of the Abbey Angling Cup at the El Bosquet complex in Crevillente. Heavy overnight rain made conditions under foot very tricky indeed with lots of mud and people slipping and sliding all over the place. Light drizzle continued for most of the match and the worst affected areas were pegs A1 to 7. Winner on the day was Mr Cinderella himself, Steve Higgins. Drawn on the favoured peg 1 he fished on the shelf across with maggots to take a steady stream of carp for a great winter weight of 23.10kg.

How about some transfer gossip? cumbersome and disjointed and so did Pep’s actual £100m man to be fair. But, City have a fully-fit Kevin de Bruyne to play with now and that does help ever so much. He banged one in from distance but it could have been so much more. Liverpool, now playing for second if we can all accept the title is on the way to the Etihad, were supposed to crumble and fall without Sadio Mane and a certain Mohamed Salah to rely on. Their 0-0 draw with tenman Arsenal in the League Cup semi suggested that without the two African stars, Liverpool were clueless and, more worryingly, goalless. Brentford came hopeful of matching their performance at home, but fell three goals short of the last result. Liverpool eased home 3-0 with more than adequate stand-ins OxladeChamberlain and Minamino getting a goal each - Minamino will have been particularly happy to see his hit the back of the net given his midweek effort. Manchester United were without Cristiano Ronaldo and Anthony Martial for their trip to Villa Park and one of those two actually couldn’t be bothered to turn up. Marcus Rashford was also missing, just like his form and ability as United leapt into a 2-0 lead - Bruno Fernandes (sans Ronaldo, we urge you to note) scoring twice and looking like, well, Bruno Fernandes. Stevie G rolled his Barca-reject dice and landed on Philippe Coutinho - who

In second place was superstar angler Harry Billings. Harry fished bread punch over a slop groundbait to take mullet after mullet and weighed in 20.32kg from peg 30. In third place making a welcome return to form was Neil McBernie who fished maggot across on the pole on peg 27 for 18.86kg of Carp. Other section winners were John Waples 6.38kg, Bill Reade 8.68kg, Richard Smith 11.125kg and Nick Bastock 13.175kg. The pairs event was a close-run affair with Terry”I don’t like peg 32” Screen and Steve higgins having a combined weight of 26.96kg.

came on for the second half, created one, scored one and generally looked like the whole Barcelona thing had been a very bad dream. Newcastle unveiled their big new attacking signing that not one single Newcastle fan hoped would arrive in January. Chris Wood set Eddie Howe back a cool £25m - quite the outlay for a striker with a single goal to his name this season (even if it does weaken a direct relegation rival). Wood didn’t really knock on much, and it was a late Joao Pedro header (the kind of goal the St James’ Park faithful love seeing scored) who grabbed a point for Watford. Wolves are making quietly efficient progress under Bruno Lage and saw off newly-purchased Southampton 3-1 at Molineux. There was some standard VAR tomfoolery as Southampton conceded a penalty that wasn’t an obvious contender for a clear-andobvious award. VAR can change the direction of a match in an instant and so it was here - even Adama Traore (possibly wanting to impress Antonio Conte) managed to get on the scoresheet. Brighton versus Crystal Palace is delightfully spiky given the actual mileage you have to put in to get from one ground to the other and it normally guarantees late drama. Friday night’s clash did not disappoint as Brighton got another late goal to nab a draw that they may or may not have deserved. Those who actually watched the game might have a more informed

Rods N Reels The following day we fished the same complex. Upon arrival the rain from the previous day had diminished but had been replaced by a heavy fog which made visibility difficult for the first few hours. After a previous suggestion by Keith Hirst that we fish the old channel of 1 to 10, myself and Bill Reade decided due to the conditions underfoot to put a section consisting of the old pegs 1,2 and 3 in the match. When Neil McBernie drew peg 1 and Bill peg 2 we thought that the match was a foregone conclusion and that they would run away with the competition.

Christian Eriksen could soon be back in the Premier League as he ‘isn’t bothered about the money’ and just wants to play football again. This news has pricked the ears of many sides looking to pick up a bit of a bargain providing they can get him insured, of course. Arsenal reckon they need a bit of bite up front and are linked to Diego Costa, currently on the verge of leaving Atletico Minero in Brazil. Newcastle want to build on the excitement around snaffling Chris Wood and bring in Sevilla’s Diego Carlos, United’s Jesse Lingard, Phil Jones and Dean Henderson and Napoli’s Robin Gosens (who has been injured since September). Chelsea are desperate for cover at left back and are throwing money at Inter and Ivan Perisic to come and help them out - otherwise they’ll have to suffer Marcos Alonso single-handedly meaning they miss out on the top four. Finally today, Arsenal’s best move of the season so far was the one that led to the North London derby being called off with just one player down with COVID. Sure, Martin Odegaard managed to test positive after the game was kiboshed, but Arsenal were unable to field a team (or maybe just their preferred team?) with Xhaka banned for his Anfield sillyness, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Balogun loaned out and a few other little injuries. Given the game was down to be played on Sunday, the fact it feels very Sunday league indeed is somewhat apt.

How wrong could we have been, Neil Weighed 2.22kg, Bill 2.98kg and Alan Priest failed to catch. It is fair to say that this experiment is now dead and buried and I doubt will ever be revisited. The match itself was won by yours truly, Ian Brown. Drawn on the favoured peg 26, after initially catching a few fish on the feeder I fished the pole with double maggot at 13m across and towards the boat to take some quality carp for 20.58kg. In second place on peg 36 was John Waples who used similar pole tactics with maggots for 17.04kg. In third place was Johns old sparring partner Terry” Mr Pastry” Brindley who fished the method feeder on peg 40 for 12.40kg. Now pick yourselves up off the floor obviously he fished the pole with paste. The pairs competition was won by myself and Steve Higgins with 24.70kg.
