Tax scam alert EXCLUSIVE by EWN Staff Reporter EXPATRIATES need to be on the alert over the latest on-line tax scam.

A British expatriate almost fell for the fraud after receiving an e-mail seemingly carrying an HM Revenue and Customs letterhead and subject ‘Unclaimed Tax Refund Notification.’

But something did not seem quite right with the e-mail, even though at first glance it appeared authentic.

What lies ahead?

KING JUAN CARLOS has returned to work following a lower-than-usual profile royal family summer break in Mallorca.

Yesterday (Wednesday) he was back at the sharp end of things when he received Mariano Rajoy, president of the Spanish government.

Privately, the head of state must be wondering what lies ahead, for at times 2012 has not been a royally happy one.

Dogs sniff out trouble for palm trees DOGS could help end the red palm weevil plague that has decimated thousands of palm trees in recent years in Andalucia.

For the first time in Europe, Valencia palm tree protection company, Lucaplant, has trained dogs to recognise the presence of the palm weevil in trees before infestation.

“No specialist can be sure if there is a part of a palm tree infected with the red

palm weevil, but a dog can detect it, allowing time to take action and treat the tree,” explained Lucaplant manager, Pedro Hernandez.

Though Hernandez states that the company’s dog training techniques are classified as “top secret,” he explained they are not very different from those used to detect bombs or drugs. Currently three dogs of the boxer and border collie

breeds have completed the training.

The red palm weevil was discovered in Spain for the first time in Almuñecar (Granada) in 1995. Lucaplant will be presenting this project in Thailand in September and in Miami in 2014, said Hernandez who added the company has received various requests from all over the world asking for their dogs to investigate certain palm trees.

More Chinese LESSONS in Mandarin Chinese at two Malaga schools are to continue to be funded by the Junta de Andalucia’s Education Council.

Back on track TRAIN services have resumed between Antequera and Granada following a weekend shut down after a bridge was damaged.

Weekend date THE third annual ‘Sonambulos’ summer sports at Alhaurin de la Torre will be held this weekend.

S

TREAMS of light in the sky normally only visible from the polar ice caps can be enjoyed from the comfort of homes until next Tuesday.

The natural spectacle is to be shown live online thanks to the Shelios Expedition which is being led by Spanish researchers.

The Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis will be broadcast daily between 3am and 3.10am Spanish time with the live video of the auroras in movement, having images refreshed every minute.

An aurora is a natural light display caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere.

The expedition broadcast has been coordinated by Canary Islands Astrophysics Institute researchers and members of the Global Robotic Telescopes Intelligent Array (GLORIA) operating from near the Qaleraliq glaciar in Greenland.

This has been made possible in collaboration with sky-live.tv in Spanish and English.

Nanny to face murder charges

Better news

A RUSSIAN nanny who abandoned her new born baby has been sent to prison on remand without bail.

The 20-year-old is accused of abandoning her daughter after giving birth in the home in El Paraiso Barronal urbanisation in Estepona where she was working.

She was to be tried for attempted murder due to her child’s multiple injuries when found, including skull fractures and severe brain damage. However the baby did not recover from a coma while in the intensive care unit at Malaga Maternity Hospital and has since died.

THE Costa del Sol's building and real estate industries will soon begin to recover, according to experts who recently attended a Marbella Tourism Initiative Centre round table discussion.

Holiday in Spain, Spanish urged!

AVOID MOSSIES AND HEAT ABROAD, TOURISM BOSS ADVISES A SIMPLE plea has gone out to the Spanish who holiday abroad.

Please holiday in Spain.

“Holidaying locally in Spain is preferable to ‘going somewhere obscure’, with many Spaniards seeking ‘sun and sand’ in out-of-the-way places abroad often finding ‘mosquitoes and 40-plus temperatures’ instead,” said Tourism Minister Jose Manuel Soria.

“With the disposable income of many Spanish families eroded by the economic crisis, double-dip recession and unemployment, people who need to look twice at every euro they spend are cutting down on holidays,” said Soria.

“The 57 million tourists who come each year to Spain cannot be wrong, and probably the Spaniards who holiday abroad ‘are the people making a mistake.’

“Few countries have such diverse locations and landscapes,” said Soria, citing Spain’s gastronomic merits, inland rural tourism and natural spas.

“With an 8 per cent increase in tourism following unrest in the Middle East during the Arab Spring, 2011 was a good year,” said Soria.

Nevertheless, foreign tourism

SANDY PARADISE: Spaniards who holiday abroad “are making a mistake,” says Soria (insert) increased 5 per cent during the first six months of 2012 and foreign tourists spent 5.6 per cent more, with this helping to offset the downturn in classic destinations including the Valencian community, where domestic tourism fell for the first time since the onset of the

economic crisis.

As Spain’s most important industry, tourism brings in €11 of every €100 the country earns through economic activity and provides employment for 2.5 million people, Soria spelled out.

He said he was confident that 2012

would be a good year, although he admitted that rather than the sector’s VAT rise from 8 to 10 per cent from September 1 he would have preferred a super-reduced 4 per cent.

“But the government had no alternative,” he said.

PERFECT SUSHI: Created by craftsmen in Namazake Restaurant.

By Georgina Shaw JAPANESE CUISINE is a stunning combination of fresh, high quality ingredients, blended to create a healthy and delicious meal.

In April Namazake Japanese restaurant opened its doors at the Hotel Puente Romano in Marbella, to offer a great blend of delicious food, the best selection of sakes in the region and a lovely atmosphere.

It has two very distinct personalities - in the early evening it’s simply a refined and elegant Japanese restaurant, but as the night progresses, it turns into a hot night spot and restaurant with a DJ playing cool tunes.

The two chefs, Senzai Renee and Chef Elquin, work in an open kitchen creating plates of beautiful Japanese food which tick all the boxes of freshness, taste and presentation. Both are totally passionate about the cuisine, having trained under Japanese masters who imparted respect for the products and total mastery of the techniques.

Intensive training, over 50 years of combined experience and influences from their home countries of the Philippines and Venezuela combine to create a fusion of styles and flavours which sets Namazake apart from the rest.

As you would expect, the sushi and sashimi were divine, with great platters to share. My favourite was the butterfish sashimi with jalapeĂąo and coriander dressing.

The creamy texture and buttery taste of the fish and the punchy dressing really made your taste buds dance.

The California Rolls were a revelation as well - nothing like the sad versions I remember from M&S - they were soft and fresh with flaked, cooked salmon and a good, safe introduction to sushi.

A taste of Japan on the Golden Mile, Marbella MASTERS: Chefs Elquin (left) and Renee (right).

What really took me by surprise was the meat cooked on the traditional Robata Grill.

This Japanese cooking technique uses a charcoal grill and special sauces, cooked really quickly to keep the meat delicious and juicy but with a lovely crispy coating.

We had the Chicken Yakitori, skewers of

tasty chicken thigh in a lovely sticky glaze, cooked to perfection. I think that these grilled delicacies really add an extra dimension to the menu and open up Japanese food to more people.

The biggest surprise of all was the

dessert menu, normally the weak point in any Asian restaurant. The chefs at Namazake have managed to create a menu with fresh, Asian flavours like mango and green tea but combined to make delicious desserts which appeal to ATMOSPHERIC: The the western stunning terrace. palate.

We had the Coconut and Lemongrass Lollipops with warm caramel sauce, which was a knock-out. It comprised coconut ice cream rolled in desiccated coconut with lemongrass sticks to make the lollipops, served with a rich caramel sauce and pineapple compote which perfectly complemented the smooth, creamy coconut ice cream. A lovely, sweet treat to round off a delicious meal.

FLASHBACK: Planes and helicopters were used to help fight the biggest blaze for a decade in Mijas Costa on the Costa del Sol last September. Some homes had to be evacuated, but there were no injuries.

Record arrests as summer fires rage WITH ongoing fires in various parts of Spain making it the worst summer fires for a decade, statistics released make grim reading: • A record number of arrests • Guardia Civil’s environment protection unit was called to 2,007 fires from January, a 57 per cent increase on 2011.

• 284 fires were started deliberately

• 457 were the result of carelessness • 185 were accidental • 94 were due to natural causes Guardia Civil’s environmental protection unit Seprona said other cases continue to be reviewed.

The record number of arrests made - 83 in total plus 223 people charged since January in connection with fires, is a 110 per cent

increase on last year’s total.

Meanwhile cleaning up operations continued this week in the Canaries, where last week more than 4,000 people were evacuated from wildfires.

Last week a firefighter and a forest ranger burnt to death while fighting a fire in the Torremanzanas area and the previous week a huge blaze raged in Valencia province.

Asiatico Zen in Nueva Andalucia offers a unique combination of exquisite Chinese and Japanese food under one roof so if you aren't sure which takes your fancy, we highly recommend this delightful venue for a great Asian experience.

Located a few minutes' walk from Puerto Banus, the restaurant has a stylish and modern interior and offers a large terrace for al fresco dining which is accentuated at night with candles, lanterns and fountains. The menus are tantalising and varied and light options are available for lunch and for dinner you can enjoy the tepanyaki show with a group of friends while the chef prepares everything in front of you. Our highly paid Chief Chef is from Hong Kong and has vast experience in Guangton food.

We were offered the opportunity to taste some of the delights on the menus at Asiatico Zen and began our sumptuous feast with some dim sum and the sharing starter platter that includes a selection of prawn appetizers, chicken satay and spring rolls with a range of dips and sauces to accompany them. Our Beijing Duck is 100% authentic. The same as you will find in Beijing, but unique on the Costa del Sol. For the main course we sampled lobster, rack of lamb and egg fried rice which were perfectly cooked and tasted delicious.

This was then followed by a dessert of mango and sticky rice - the ideal end to a fabulous meal.

The combination of Chinese and Japanese dishes makes Asiatico Zen the perfect place for an oriental meal while the attentive service and the friendly atmosphere completes the experience.

You will not find any other Chinese restaurant on the Costa del Sol like us, where you can taste 100% authentic Chinese food.

SUPERMARKETS HIT HYPERMARKETS AND CORNER SHOPS FOR SIX WHEN it comes to food shopping, the big supermarkets are hitting hypermarkets and corner stores for six!

In 2000 hypermarkets had a 29 per cent share in food sales, but this has since dropped to below 20 per cent.

Small supermarkets - those up to 100 square metres - and corner shops are suffering even bigger trade drops , with custom falling from 35.9 per cent in 2000 to just over 21 per cent, according to statistics.

In the last five years 3,700 such shops have closed, at the rate of around 15 a week.

Changing times, restricted opening hours and an aging population plus the crisis have led to the changes in Spain’s shopping habits.

Hypermarkets are still a draw admits large retailers’ association ANGED. But the clear shop winners are supermarket chains with installations of more than 400 square metres, with their market share rising from 35 per cent in 2000 to more than 60 per cent.

In the last five years 760 such establishments have opened.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Large supermarkets are winning over more and more hypermarket shoppers.

Food shop revolution “A hypermarket is a great Sunday destination, but in part falling popularity can be traced to changing consumer habits, an aging population, smaller families and – as always – the economic crisis.

“Visiting ‘the hyper’ is now less of a draw with a 20 or 30 kilometre drive meaning little

true difference in prices,” said Jaume Llopis, professor of strategic management.

Meanwhile elderly people who consume less and buy more fresh products are forsaking local food markets and shopping at supermarkets.

On the ‘if you can’t beat them, join them’ principle,

hypermarkets are now opening smaller supermarkets.

Carrefour now has 80 Carrefour Express and 116 Carrefour Market outlets. And the Corte Ingles, which opened only three new Hipercors between 2008 and 2012, increased its smaller Supercor supermarkets from 74 to 88 over the same period.

CRUEL: The treatment of cats by some is horrific.

Fears cat cruelty could spoil holidays

AN animal rescue charity worker has called on the local mayor, police and residents to help stop sadistic cruelty of wild cats in Estepona.

Mary Page, Vice President of ADANA, an animal rescue charity in the resort town, warns that if something is not done then the sadistic treatment of animals, if witnessed by tourists from Northern Europe and the rest of Spain, will leave a stain on the memory of their Estepona holiday.

“I appeal to the mayor, the police and residents to do all they can to stop this disgusting, cruel behaviour,” said Mary.

She was commenting after several reported incidents of cruelty to cats and kittens in the El Faro area of Estepona, some by young boys.

“We have been told of cats being shot in the head and left to die in agony, cats being beaten to death with metal bars and in

another truly shocking case, young boys kicking a kitten until its intestines burst,” Mary added.

The El Faro area is home to many stray cats which are fed by local Spanish and expatriate families. Many have been neutered at the residents’ expense and the cat colony is a favourite of many tourists.

The Estepona town hall plans to redevelop the area and some fear the cats will be taken to be destroyed. Mary added that “such cruel behaviour was sadly to be found in all countries.

The vast majority of Spanish find this kind of behaviour as shocking as expatriates do,” she said.

RIP: Sydney James Knowles

By Charles Edwards MEMBERS of the Coin Branch of the Royal British Legion and friends sang a sad farewell in the Coin Cemetery Chapel on Friday to their Honorary Vice President Sydney Knowles, who passed away peacefully at home on July 31.

Sydney was born in Preston, Lancashire and volunteered to join the Royal Navy in 1939, aged 18. He served in the North Atlantic aboard HMS Zulu during the hunt for the Bismarck and on HMS Lookout on transatlantic convoy duty.

In 1942 Sydney volunteered to join a small squad of Navy divers led by Lt Cdr Lionel ‘Buster’ Crabb. They were known as the ‘Underwater Working Party’ and their task was to protect Allied shipping at anchor in Gibraltar harbour against attack

by Italian underwater saboteurs. Equipped with nothing but swimming trunks and primitive underwater breathing apparatus they worked in all weathers to search for mines beneath the hulls of ships at anchor.

Buster’s expertise at rendering mines safe earned him a considerable reputation and Sydney accompanied him on many clandestine tasks as his diving partner both during and after the war.

In 1958 Sydney was played by Michael Craig in the fictionalised film, The Silent

Honorary VP Sydney Knowles.

Enemy, and he published his book, ‘A Diver in the Dark’, in October 2009.

Sydney loved his retirement in Spain and was an active and supportive member of the Royal British Legion, even as his health began to fail. The Legion has lost a great man who served his country proudly and was regarded by those who knew him a true comrade and a friend. Thoughts are now with his widow Frances Knowles.

Guests are invited to get up and join in the fun and learn some moves, with even the waiters having a bit of a dance as they twirl around the tables.

Netinho also performs some acrobatic Capoeira moves, a Brazilian martial art combining music and dance, which he has ‘practiced for 20 years’.

Before, during and after these performances, up to 20 different cuts of Brazilian, Argentinian and Irish meats are served from the grill and carved from skewers directly on to your plate.

One of the favourite cuts of meat with guests is the top of rump, which is served rare.

It is succulent and bursting with a unique flavour that almost melts in the mouth.

Other rare beef cuts include rump steak and beef alcantara, which can be cut using the edge of one’s fork.

The well-done beef cuts include beef solomillo wrapped in bacon, the tender melt in the mouth beef neck, beef flank, the inside of the leg and the succulent and tasty beef in garlic.

Madrid needs to add-up cost of an Olympic win New loo!

Truly a seat of power GLOBAL students including some in Europe - have been invited to come up with plans to re-invent the toilet.

The US-based Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have launched an international university competition to reinvent the loo!

Clearly the winner will be able to take a true seat of power in global business circles!

By Business Editor Brendan Small DOES Madrid really want to host the 2020 Olympics?

Many feel winning the bid to host such a costly event would be a poisoned chalice for a nation at present facing economic turmoil from an almost dead-on-its-feet real estate market, plus the ongoing Eurozone crisis.

But sports enthusiasts and many business leaders equally identify that if sponsors can be found for the event – despite the difficult economic times then Madrid, which amassed the highest score of 8.08 out of the three candidates in an earlier round of negotiations, could perhaps long-term benefit from being an Olympic winner!

Madrid, along with Tokyo (8.2) and Istanbul (6.98) were invited to send representatives to the London 2012 Olympics that have just closed, with many claiming the event a huge success for the British capital.

Those in the know in London remain tight-lipped as to the total cost of this year’s games, which were initially budgeted at £2.4 billion (€3 billion), but this was repeatedly raised to £9.3 billion (€11.6 billion).

And some estimate that the final total cost was nearer £25 billion (€31.25 billion).

What is certain, the London Games were a lot cheaper than the €35 billion estimated cost of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The next move towards hosting the 2020 games will be early next year when the International Olympic Committee visits the three short-listed cities, and this will be followed by a report and verbal presentation.

The final decision will be made in 12 month’s time, by which time Madrid will need to have done all its sums… otherwise the cost could be long-term bankruptcy for the capital.

Big business going up in smoke THE sale of cannabis may be big business in Spain, but potential tax returns for national coffers are going up in smoke.

If all the marihuana consumed was bought legally with VAT added to the price, the government would receive €177 million more a year, a consumer survey by cannabis associations has revealed.

Spaniards spend

€1,163 million on cannabis each year.

If commercially produced legally, more than 38,000 jobs could be created, which would return €400 million to the government and cut back on mafias, says the Catalonian associations that made the survey.

Understand which driving licence route is the best

Q

Many people write providing different views with regard to driving licences. And their views differ greatly. Here I provide some of the most common questions Firstly: Is a full time resident in Spain obliged to change their UK Driving Licence for a Spanish Driving Licence? This would be a person who maintains an address in Britain and thus can renew the driving licence and receive notifications. I You and the have read that it formerly Law in Spain was mandatory to

By David Searl change such a licence.

Secondly: Is it true that a person who holds a Spanish Driving Licence is barred by national law from driving a vehicle that does not have local registration plates?

F.S. (Almeria)

A

No, it is not necessary for a UK citizen, or any other European Union citizen, to exchange their home country driving licence for a Spanish one when taking up official residence here. Remember that it is esssential to pass Spain’s medical exam for licence renewal every 10 years or five years depending on their age. This certificate must be kept with the licence.

Perhaps the second question should be phrased differently. A person who holds a Spanish driving licence can rent a car and drive it in Germany, for example. However, a resident of Spain is not permitted to ‘own’ a car on foreign registration. To be more precise, a resident is not permitted to drive a foreign-registered vehicle which they own. A wealthy Spanish businessman who owns a flat in London can keep a British-registered car there for use on his visits. But a resident Briton who wants to keep a UK-registered car here must have it registered on Spanish plates.

Full details can be found in the section On the Road in Spain in my book, You and the Law in Spain.

£££ UNEMPLOYMENT has dropped 8 per cent due to the London Olympics and a rise in self and part-time employment.

SKYLINE: The centre of Bristol.

Future for nuclear power is a dose of common-sense FINALLY, after almost 30 years, it seems at least one local British authority has come to a sensible, practical decision on nuclear power.

Even so, it is still sad that the proposed construction of two nuclear power-generating stations on the Bristol Channel is to be planned, financed, constructed and operated by a European, rather than a British company.

In the hot seat will be EDF, a French company already among Britain’s major electrical power suppliers. But a definite positive is that the Bristol project could usher in a new dawn, a re-birth, of something that should in reality never have been abandoned.

Although the plan is still in the financial negotiation stage, the proposal that the two nuclear power stations should be built on a site at present occupied by a pair of ageing, conventionally-fuelled units, has already received municipal and local public support, especially with the potential of local jobs.

They have not followed the route of protest meetings or demonstrations, for after witnessing desecration of coastlines, seascapes and countryside by wind-farms, they want none of it.

How refreshing!

Part of the ongoing financial negotiations concern what is known as the ‘strike price’ per megawatthour (MW/hr) generated, which is

the guaranteed figure laid down in the contracts, to be subsidised by all UK consumers should the price of electricity fall below that level.

This system is already in operation for all low-carbon power suppliers and presently stands at £140 (€175) per MW/hr, due to be reduced to £100 (€125) per MW/hr by 2020, coincidentally by the time proposed nuclear-powered generating stations are expected to come on stream at a cost of £10 billion (€12.5 billion) What a pity it has taken so long for the people in power to stop believing every scare story put out by the antiNO Ikea furniture will be included in 100 nuclear lobbies, budget hotels planned throughout Europe in harking back to a new business venture by the Swedish Chernobyl and furniture chain. The first one will be in Fukushima at Germany. every opportunity.

Ikea hotels, but no flat packs

Chernobyl was a disaster, caused by a Soviet system encouraging shoddy planning and construction exacerbated by inexpert and corner-cutting maintenance.

This made the final melt-down almost inevitable.

Fukushima was ‘state-of-the-art’, and could have continued efficiently for many more years if maintenance and safety issues had been brought to light; simply because people on the ‘factory floor’ felt that criticism of superiors would indicate a ‘lack of respect’, almost unthinkable in Japanese society.

Happily, that is not the British worker’s style.

The anti-nuclear lobbyists need to move on. Nuclear power cannot be un-invented, and it’s time to bend efforts, not towards banning nuclear power generation per se, but to ensure design and construction of these new plants – and others that will surely follow – incorporate only the best and most up-to-date practices in both safety and day-to day maintenance.

That way lies the future.

www.euroweeklynews.com “IS this a good time to invest?”

This is one of the questions wealth advisers are frequently asked, and the answer is “yes” more often than not. In order to protect the value of your savings from inflation, it is generally better to be invested for the long-term rather than wait in the sidelines for a ‘right time’ to invest or trying to time the markets.

Unpredictable events and investor sentiment can have a negative or positive impact on markets, often unexpectedly, and no-one can predict the future. In order to successfully time the markets you would need to accurately identify both the best time to buy and the best time to sell, and even very experienced investors cannot get this right. You would need to somehow foresee all the factors and trends that contribute to market performance; reacting to current conditions is usually too late.

Time in the markets is the wiser strategy for most investors rather than timing.

Every market cycle has up and down days. Often a few very good days account for a large part of the total returns over a market cycle. The real risk of market timing is missing out on the best performing days. If you are not invested, for example because you are waiting for share prices to stabilise after a period of volatility, you are likely to miss out on the sudden market rallies that could improve your long-

term wealth.

You should work with a professional wealth management adviser like Blevins Franks to ensure your investment portfolio is suitable for your objectives and circumstances, and designed to spread risk. Blevins Franks specialises in providing personalised wealth management advice to expatriates living here in Spain.

There are many statistical examples to illustrate the cost of being out of the market.

Goldman Sachs calculates that a hypothetical investment in the US S&P 500 index from 1992 to 2011 would have generated an average annual total return of 7.81%, if invested for the whole 5,046 days. If however you missed the 10 best days your average annual return would only be 4.14%. If you missed the 40 best days, you would have made an average annual

loss of 2.31%.

This loss increases to 7.2% a year if you missed the 70 best days.

BlackRock have a similar illustration using the FTSE AllShare index. A hypothetical £100,000 investment would have grown to £598,478 over the 20 years from 1st January 1991 to 15th August 2011. If you missed the five best days your return would be £186,738 less. If you missed the 25 best days your investment would only have grown to £172,955.

While volatility and down periods can be testing for investors, they form part of every market cycle. Short-term declines should not detract from the long-term potential of stockmarket investing.

BlackRock have an interesting chart tracing the S&P 500 index from 31st December 1985 to 31st December 2010. It lists the key events that affected the market over this period, including the 1987 stockmarket crash; first Gulf war in 1990; September 11th, 2003 Iraq war, subprime crisis and collapse of some of Wall Street’s biggest names in 2008.

Even with these tumultuous events and resulting volatility, an

investment in the US S&P 500 equity index on 31st December 1985 would have grown to over 10 times its original value in 25 years.

Emotions can also cause people to effectively try and time the market. They sell in falling markets because they are afraid of remaining invested, and lock in their losses as a result. They buy in rising markets as they chase returns, but could end buying just as the market peaks.

Too many investors end up buying at market highs and selling at market lows. Markets often suddenly rebound from their lows, but they miss out.

A study by Barclays Wealth last year showed the potential dangers of letting emotions control your investment decisions. Entitled Risk and Rules: The Role of Control in Financial Decision Making, it surveyed 2,000 high net worth individual investors. It found that investors who make investment decisions based on emotion rather than strategy lose on average up to 20% of their potential returns over a 10 year period.

The study also found that people who employ an

investment strategy tend to feel more satisfied with their financial situation. The group with the highest strategy usage is 12% wealthier than the group with the lowest strategy usage.

Portfolio performance is more significantly determined by asset allocation and diversification than market timing. A wealth management professional like Blevins Franks would review your investments and objectives and help you develop an effective tailor-made strategy going forward.

While we may advocate the “buy and hold” strategy, this only applies if your portfolio was designed for your specific aims, situation, risk tolerance and time horizon. Also, buy and hold does not mean buy and ignore.

Your portfolio should be reviewed at least once a year to see if it needs re-balancing or if your circumstances have changed, something which Blevins Franks does for their clients.

Now Spanish banks get taste of success

By EWN Business Reporter SOME Spanish banks are beginning to win their fight to improve balance sheets in the present rough-ride economic times.

They are not only beginning to reduce their risk, but are additionally getting back into better profit margins for their shareholders.

This is revealed in a Top 1000 World Banks 2012 report by the authoritative www.thebanker.com.

Banco Santander is placed fourth in the world among banks for decreasing market risk, with the Spanish bank cutting its market risk by 34 per cent and also reducing its risk weighted assets by 9.44 per cent.

Both Santander and BBVA foreign owned subsidiaries are additionally generating significant profits for their parent companies in Spain.

SIGN OF SUCCESS: Encouraging indicators from Santander.

This is revealed in the top 25 most profitable foreign-owned subsidiary rankings which list Banco Santander and BBVA owned banks seven times, with four of the individual banks in the top 10.

A total of around $13bn (â‚Ź10.5bn) in pre-tax profits has been generated through these

operations with approximately 70 per cent of this from many of the emerging South American countries.

For all the focus on emerging markets, however, a remarkable aspect of the foreign profit contributions is that Santander UK and US operations have generated a total of $4bn (â‚Ź3.25bn) in profits which demonstrates that markets in the centre of the global economic crisis still generate foreign investor returns.

The latest, and heartening listings, come as the majority of Spanish banks continue to face financial challenges amid ongoing uncertainty both globally, and particularly in the Eurozone.

While the figures will not immediately ease the national economic outlook nor improve the state of the job market, they could provide a new template for the banking system to reinvigorate the at present ailing economy.

SPANISH BRIEFS

The end is a long way off THE present economic woes in Spain will not end before two more recessions in 2018 and 2020, according to financial anyalyst Juan Ignacio Crespo in his new book ‘Las dos proximas recesiones.’

Less aid THE Labour Ministry granted 30 per cent less money to the main 79 labour unions last year, with a total payout of â‚Ź15.79 million each according to the activities carried out and the people they benefitted.

Job hope DESPITE being traditionally wary of international migration for work, 20.07 per cent of Spaniards indicated a willingness to move anywhere in the world for a job, a Randstad employment survey revealed.

Highlight of career?

Interviewing Olympic Gold medallist Nick Skelton four days after he won the Team GB showjumping medal at London 2012, in I believe the first interview by any Team GB medallist in Spain during the games.

EWN COMMENT Panic in hen-house EARLIER this month the share price for nationalised, rescued Bankia rose sharply and tripled. But then Spain’s state-backed restructuring fund, FROB, stepped in with a reminder that shareholders in banks receiving European bailout money should expect losses. The Bankia shares fell and opportunities for further speculation were nipped in the bud although someone, somewhere, probably made a killing. In and out, just like a fox in a chicken-run.

What’s in a name?

FRANCO’S name and titles are mostly obliterated in cities and towns but occasionally endure.

L etters OPINION & COMMENT

EWN

THE Olympics was a real education for me. I watched sports I knew nothing about and thoroughly enjoyed it. I particularly enjoyed the beach volleyball and the handball.

I was amazed at the fitness level of the beach volleyball players. One second diving into the sand and then a second later on their feet knocking the ball over the net. Or the amount of bodily contact involved in the handball. To see these young women charge towards the goal with ball in hand only to end up on the floor felled by the defence, then to get up and continue with the match.

I could not help hoping that some of the fairies who call themselves professional footballers were watching. If these girls can hit the deck and be up and involved in the play in seconds, why can’t these overpaid posers do the same instead of writhing about on the floor because another player brushed by him and may have broken his newly manicured nails. Well done Team GB, you did us proud.

Tom Hawksworth, Taberno (Almeria)

Sickly fine FURTHER to several recent letters highlighting bureaucratic injustice, last week I paid the tax authorities’ €112.50 fine for not answering a registered letter delivered to my house while I was overseas.

As more than seven days had elapsed, the Post Office were unable to assist. Another registered letter arrived three weeks later with the fine.

It appears the taxman is empowered to fine you for non-compliance irrespective of circumstances. He is also under obligation to advise you as to what information he was originally requesting. I have been punished without ever knowing what I should have done. So folks, remember then, that should you be lying there in hospital with your plastered limbs up on hoists, then your predicament just is not going to wash with the taxman if you have not answered him in time.

23 - 29 August 2012 Costa del Sol adjusted depending on the course played. It may be a minor point, but many golfers believe that correct playing handicaps should be shown so that the true reflection of the endeavour on the day can be seen.

Mike Burgess, Murla (Alicante) Editor’s note: Under the Spanish Federation system, all the golf courses are given a standard of difficulty rating, which is applied to the exact handicap of each player under the title of ‘slope’, which can put a handicap up or reduce it depending on the rating of the course. These golf societies show the exact handicap of players, correct to a decimal place.

Good samaritan I LOVE the wild life around Huerta Nueva where I live and wish to share this photo of ducks on a lake at the back of my house.

I see this effect every summer. It all makes sense now. In summer resorts, the local men eagerly await the lady tourists. Likewise, tourists from colder climes tend to enjoy this effect when on holiday here too. They cannot help themselves it seems.

Laura, Palma de Mallorca

Rowdy crowds READING the article ‘Large botellón crowds affect local tourism’ (Almeria, Issue 1413) reminded me that when we first came to live in Mojacar some 17 years ago, it was called the ‘Corner of Enchantment’. Today is it more like the ‘Corner of Endangerment’. Both residents and holidaymakers, from young families to pensioners, do not like venturing out on to the beach, especially at night.

While accurate, the article did not go far enough in highlighting the true horrors. I wonder if readers have any suggestions in stamping out what has now become a massive problem.

In other coastal reports I understand they introduced local laws prohibiting the playing of loud music from either cruising or stationary vehicles. Also heavy on the spot fines

to those participating in botellon had the desired effect.

Another problem is the large number of hen and stag parties attracted to the town, which drives local custom away.

Charles, Mojacar (Almeria)

Sad and angry EVERYTIME I read an article about bull events in Spain I get very sad and then angry. The last was ‘Request to protect bulls falls on deaf ears’ (Issue 1415). Animal rights group Anpba is fighting for cases like that of a bull named Brusco that died when it was forced to run in the streets despite having collapsed from exhaustion just hours earlier. However, the source of the problem is that these events will continue to happen as long as there is demand.

Jasmine Forrest, Estepona (Malaga)

Handicap point I READ EWN most weeks and especially enjoy the golf reports from local societies. However, they are always printed with a glaring mistake; the handicap used by the player in achieving the score. For example last week the Orba Warblers report shows the winner at Bonalba as playing off 8.5. Nobody plays with a fraction of a handicap. He actually played off 10.

Similarly, the division two winner is reported to play off 21.1 when it was 24. Pego’s winners show 4.6 and 22.4; they should be six and 27 respectively.

Montgo’s winner on 9.8 actually played off a handicap of 12.

The handicap reported is the players actual handicap which has to be

I WOULD like to thank the person who, on finding my wife’s passport on the ground in the Torrevieja Marina car park, had the decency to take it to the car park attendant, where I thankfully found it when I went to pay my parking fee some time later.

When I realised it was lost, I found out that the National Police recently set up a telephone line - 902 102 112 - for anyone wishing to make a ‘denuncia’ of any incident which does not require police attendance, for example, lost property. It is in Spanish and English.

On completion of the report I was given a reference number and informed that I had to call at a National Police Station within 48 hrs where my report would be ready for me. I was also given the choice of which station I could go to.

Cooling tip HERE is a tip for keeping cool in this hot weather.

Get out that winter hot water bottle.

Fill it with cold water and place in the bottom of the fridge. Then take it to bed at night. It will keep cool most of the night. Then place it back in the fridge in the morning.

This really works and costs nothing.

Carol, by email

Changing regimes I HAVE been watching the hypocrite Hillary Clinton running around the world giving her backing to the rebels in Syria and wanting the rest of the world to help with ‘Regime Change’.

This is the same Hillary Clinton that wants worldwide gun control, which would stop future citizens of Syria from obtaining weapons to ever be able to effect another attempt at ‘Regime Change’.

You can't make it up ...

Olympic shoes to fill

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

OH THE DRAMA: Football’s image after games might take an effort of Olympic proportions.

upon us by a media, which frankly is not much better.

Spitting, snarling and being generally unpleasant, these overpaid uniformed yobs once again brought the game, that in the days of Sir Stanley Matthews and Billy Wright truly could be called a sport, down even below the level of professional wrestling.

These extremely lucky young men have no more sense of sportsmanship than Vlad the impailer. They are all up for the highest bidder and, with very few exceptions, wouldn’t know loyalty if it punched them on the nose.

The excuse that they are paid such exorbitant sums of money because their

careers are so short, is total bull. Many of them are being paid ridiculous sums of money at age 16.

By the time they are 18 they command hundreds of thousands a month and most of their careers can last 20 years or more, which is the length of the average soldier or policeman’s career. Need I say more?

If I had my way I would put a cap on all professional footballers’ wages, worldwide. I would also cap all transfer fees, bonuses and numbers of foreign transfers. Contrary to how it may appear, I do actually like the game.

To see it ruined by billionaire owners and money grabbing mercenaries, truly makes me both sad and extremely angry. Will any of this tirade make any difference?

Of course it won’t. Money is still the God of the human race and the answer to it all? Blowing in the wind my friends. Blowing in the wind.

As a final matter of interest! I counted 138 ‘amazings’ in the various interviews and commentaries I watched during the Olympics - and now the X factor is back!

Whatcha mean, get a life Leapy?

Thanks for the mail. Keep em coming, I can take it.

Keep the faith.

Love Leapy.

LEAPY LEE admits he was wrong about the Olympics, but how about the chart life of his near no 1 hit record in 1968?

I presume an inaccurate memory is possible after 44 years.

He claims that Hey Jude was responsible for stalling him at No. two for 23 weeks.

The Guinness book of British Hit Singles says Arrows was in the charts for 21 weeks, presumably not all at number two.

Jude was at number one for only two weeks of its 16 week chart life; so come on, Leapy, how many weeks did Arrow spend at number two?

Les Roy, Denia (Alicante) Editor’s note: It should have been ‘in the chart for 23 weeks’, depending on which chart you are following, says Leapy Lee.

LETTERS TO LEAPY

ONE of the truly gratifying things to emerge from the recent games was the pure sportsmanship that prevailed throughout the whole experience. The wonderful feeling of human beings, vying against each other simply to bring out the highest achievements possible and all in the true spirit of mutual respect and honourable competition.

And then came football.

The day after this wonderfully refreshing and uplifting episode ended, I can quite honestly say my heart sank; there they all were again.

All those magnificent sportsmen and women were suddenly replaced by a bunch of mercenary louts who have about as much in common with sport as Pol Pot had with human rights.

Back they all were, with their designer haircuts and stubble, pontificating and prancing around the pitch, their inflated egos thrust

T’S surprising how many people believe in old wives’ tales. You know the ones I mean. If your nose itches, someone’s talking about you. If your right palm itches, you’ll soon be shaking hands with a stranger. If it’s your left palm, you’re about to come into some money.

Even though she knew they’re not true, a friend of mine found herself using some of these old wives’ tales on her own children. “Don’t stand in the rain or you’ll catch a cold.” (Meaning: I don’t want another load of wet washing.) “Stop cracking those knuckles or you’ll get arthritis (ie. I’m sick of listening to the noise).

“Eat the carrots and you’ll see better in the dark” (just clear that plate I’ve just spent an hour sweating over). “Move back from the TV or you’ll go blind sitting too close” (and then I can see The X Factor!)

While many of these tales hark back to medieval times – yawning, for instance, can lead to “evil spirits entering the body unless you cover your mouth with your hand” - others are quite recent. We’ve all heard it’s bad for our eyes to watch TV in the dark and we should have a lamp on.

For this, we can thank the salesman with the

stock of small lamps that weren’t selling who came up with the gimmick of calling them, yes, ‘TV Lamps’.

Some old wives’ tales, though, do have a nugget of truth. “Kids should eat a peck of dirt before they die.” Good advice: lack of exposure to pathogens is responsible for many of the auto-immune diseases in western society. So, get a dog and let the kids run about and play in the great outdoors.

“Chicken soup is good for colds”. Well, any warm, steamy nutritious liquid will do, but it does help open up the bronchial tubes.

“Don’t scratch, you will make it spread.” Actually true, not just by spreading the substance that caused the rash, but also the act of scratching itself provokes a histamine response.

Now if you’ll excuse me I must go. Both my left and right palms are itching. Which obviously means I’m about to meet a rich stranger. Yawn. Or

some rich evil spirits.

Spread the word!

ARE empty tables at some restaurants a consequence of the downturn? Does the fault lie closer to home?

The restaurant was roadside and modest; my companions chose a platter for two priced at €28.

Although the description was hardly precise they expected more than a euro’s worth of various panfried sliced vegetables.

Jaws dropped, but hardly in anticipation.

Management were reluctant to show interest. We persisted and it was finally conceded ‘a problem in translation.’ A plate of selected meats arrived.

At another restaurant the €20 change was taken as a gratuity; we made a scene to get it back.

On another occasion a companion’s wallet was left behind.

We recovered it; three €50 notes were missing.

In Mijas Pueblo some places charge €4.50 for a beer. A pity as the bad behaviour of a few reflects on the honest ones. If you find a good restaurant, spread the word.

Cars - no drivers DO those who rule over us ever stop to think of the consequences of their bizarre recommendations.

Spain’s Director General of Traffic (DGT) proposes a total ban on alcohol consumption. Let us put this into perspective.

It takes up to four hours to eliminate two 33cl bottles of beer; for a woman up to six hours.

In effect it means a ban on all but teetotal drivers.

Let’s see what that does for mobility and tourism.

There are two solutions.

Robotic driverless cars or a single grey cell implanted between the ears of the Director General.

JUST FANCY THAT

Big and fertile A BURMESE python found in Florida set records as the largest snake ever captured in the state at 5.36 metres long and which was carrying 87 eggs.

Almost crushed A MAN, aged 27, survived being crushed by a recycling compactor twice after he drank too much and fell asleep in a recycling dumpster which was later collected - with him inside - and processed by a lorry.

Rubbish plan TWO inmates tried to escape a Brazilian jail disguised as rubbish-filled bags. At lunchtime the men, aged 24 and 19, somehow hid in the bags next to the real rubbish, but were soon discovered.

Frozen insemination AN ELEPHANT was impregnated with frozen sperm for the first time in history at Vienna’s Schoenbrunn Zoo. The elephant is due to give birth around August 2013.

Toilet spy A COLORADO (USA) man denies accusations he hid in the tank of a portable loo at a yoga festival and spied on women. He now faces charges.

NO TIP: Are empty tables a sign of the times?

HE US space agency NASA once spent millions developing a pen that would write in a nonatmosphere environment. The Russians replied; ‘we use a pencil.’ A friend once boasted that if you pressed a little button on his new watch the hands lit up. I asked him had he never heard of a luminous watch.

Why do we make our lives so complicated and for what purpose? I learn that a single edition of the New York Times contains as much information as would be acquired in an average man’s lifetime a couple of hundred years ago.

Adding to my store of useless knowledge, there is more hitech in my mobile phone than there was in the first spacecraft.

I suppose in some ways it can be argued that we have all benefited from the remarkable advances that have taken place over the last decades.

The next frontier to be broken down is surely the simplification of gadgets.

Many of today’s aids to modern living are beyond comprehension.

This isn’t my problem; it is our problem, for we are becoming programmed to look for difficult rather than simple

solutions. Why is there reluctance to explain gadgets in a comprehensible way? I

IN SPACE: To use a pencil would be far too easy. can well imagine someone replying to NASA’s scientists that the pencil solution is too simplistic.

Having failed to master all but the basics in many household gadgets, I once conceded that I had technophobia; like any other disability I kept it to myself.

That was until a national newspaper tested the general

population on their ability to use gadgetry common to modern households. It was discovered that over 80 per cent of us cannot quite get the hang of programming devices or putting things together.

In fact I emerged with honours. I download and print the instruction manual for my very modest digital camera; it is the size of a telephone

directory and largely incomprehensible.

There is something about the human condition that strives for change whether it is necessary or not.

They boast of multi-million euro fighter jets and state of the art early detection systems. Recently a couple of Swedish self-publicists flew a light aircraft unimpeded in and out of Belarus territory. At the height of the Cold War a German student flew a single seat Cessna across the USSR and landed it in Red Square.

Thanks to my PC I can listen to the most obscure radio stations broadcast from the Urals to the depths of the Arizona hinterland. In fact I like two and I have no need for the other million. Two newspapers used to be enough; one national, one local. They kept me occupied for hours.

Now I have millions to choose from but I still prefer those two newspapers.

As Albert Einstein surmised: “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.”

Cops and robbers ARE you sleeping soundly at night? Or are you, like me, listening out for the pitter patter of large feet approaching your house at the dead of night? Crime, apparently, is soaring and burglars are no longer waiting for you to visit Aunt Ethel to do their dirty work.

Gone are the days when the main-stay of trouble centered on some youth making off with your knickers while skinnydipping after too many sangrias; crime today is ruthless and unrelenting. And I am not thinking of crime à la Sexy Beast, the 2000 film with Ray Winstone, nor the whitecollar version that robs your pension fund rather than your house.

House break-ins in Mallorca rose a whopping 60 per cent in the first six months of this year compared to the same period in 2011. One friend, and her young family, was woken before the crack of dawn by the noise of burglars attempting to smash their way through her front door paying scant regard to neighbours, a silent entry or the fact that the family car was

parked in the driveway.

Fortunately, the big bad wolf huffed and puffed but failed to tear the house down and police arrived on the scene - albeit too late to cage the animals. They did not offer any hope of catching the criminals, who, unabated, will move on to easier, less fortified targets.

Now I am all for the James Bond school of burglar prevention (strategically placed land mines and explosives) but apparently this is not encouraged by crime prevention forces, and, besides, there is a good chance of an ‘own goal’ on the odd occasion when I forget my keys and have to climb over the wall.

So, I have done a little research into the best deterrents.

Two-thirds of burglars enter through doors and a third through windows, so securing these is your number one mission. A thorny bush around the perimeter of your house is also a good idea or a wall that is difficult to climb (but hold the shards of glass on top or you could end up behind bars yourself).

Dogs are a major deterrent,

though a slice of poisoned meat will sadly see the end of Fido, so it may be better keeping him indoors as a warning barker.

Automatic low-energy dusk-tildawn lighting is also useful and cheaper and less prone to false alarms than the motionsensitive beams.

Feigning madness is also a winning strategy - few robbers would have a go at the house of a potentially axe-wielding vigilante, so a few strategically placed ‘I love guns’ signs or a Zona Militar plaque could be advisable, though a ‘Forget the dog, mind the owner’ is too predictable.

Spray-paint motion sensor sprinklers could work; but mainly to change the colour of your garden and Fido. Other than that, you need only watch a re-run of Home Alone for

SECURITY: Two-thirds of burglars enter through doors. some more inventive prevention.

If none of these appeal or you still fail at night, move to the of San Marino, where

so low that there is only one inmate in the state prison, or Japan, where the crime conviction rate is 99.8 per cent - a sure deterrent for any would-be robber.

The Debacle Debate I’M very partial to the word ‘debacle’, so much so that I am desperate to become involved in one just so I can say “What a debacle that was”.

I know that seems a sad ambition for a grown woman but then I have never pretended to be anything other than sad, and though I may look grown up I am not grown up in the societal sense of the phrase, in fact I am still apt to giggle during dinner parties in disbelief at the fact that I am actually hosting one (I can’t get past the image of pouring pretend tea from tiny china cups for an orange haired Troll doll (or was that my younger sister)?

I am also fond of the word ‘debauched’ as was Roman emperor Caligula who was oft heard yelling at his horse “Come Dobbin let us indulge in a little debauchery”. In terms of debauched behaviour I am a little in awe of Caligula as I cannot personally be bothered with all that creaking leather, baby oil and constant groaning, give me a good book and a nice cup of tea any day.

Caligula however was a great proponent of debauchery and

Suzanne Manners Suzanne has a degree in Fine Art from Goldsmiths and an MA in Writing from Lancaster University. She is currently teaching in Alicante and writing a book for teenagers (which doesn’t have a vampire as its central character).

MEMORIES: I cannot forget the image of pouring pretend tea from tiny china cups. was mightily upset at his friends’ lack of enthusiasm for his 24 hour party lifestyle, which was why he made his horse a general (the horse, however, was once overheard complaining that he never got enough sleep which was his excuse for sending a legion the wrong way during battle).

Words have the power to

conjure up a thousand images and the ability to throw a curve ball when you least expect it.

The word ‘ashen’, for example, for me always conjures up images of sour-faced priests turning their backs on burning heretics (not only am I sad but I am also odd), which is one step up from the images that the word ‘onomatopoeia’ splats into

my brain. As a child I always thought that ‘Christingle’ was something that made Jesus shudder and that to ‘anoint’ someone involved a squeaky hammer and a rubber duck.

Mispronunciation of those highbrow, rarely spoken words has caused me many a red faced moment. Detritus once did for me during a very serious

discussion of educational policy.

Having never actually heard the word spoken I wasn’t aware that I had been mispronouncing it as ‘dreetreetoos’ which ordinarily shouldn’t have presented a problem, but on this particular occasion I was desperately trying to impress a man I had taken a fancy to, this fancy rapidly dissipated however after, having stopped laughing long enough to draw breath, he slowly pronounced the word correctly.

I was sorely tempted to clobber him with the nearest piece of detritus and demonstrate a few onomatopoeic words, some of which I’m sure he had never heard before. From then on intellectuals were off the agenda.

Being the fully formed dilettante that I am, I can’t hear the word ‘intense’ without thinking of flimsy camping equipment and whenever I hear of a bright young artist or writer being described thus, I barely stop myself from reaching for the peg hammer.

Anyway, as Oscar Wilde once wrote; “I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”

So what’s my excuse?

K.C.I. Hair & Beauty Warehouse for your latest beauty products K.C.I HAIR AND BEAUTY WAREHOUSE is run by Ken Biggs and Caroline Biggs, an ex Goldwell technician and hairdressing teacher who has been in the trade over 26 years.

They ran a successful hair and beauty supplies business in the UK for many years.

They have been open here for two years and gained the rights to Tangle Teezer (as seen on Dragonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Den) for Spain. We knew it was an amazing brush that actually did what it said and it has sold millions around the world. They introduced it just over a year ago at the Barcelona Hair and Beauty show and are now selling thousands a week throughout Spain.

Because of this success they now aim to source the latest products from the UK for the Spanish market and introduced MYscara, the semi permanent mascara last August which is very popular here.

Their most recent acquisition is Kaeso from Professional

Greet everyone with a dazzling smile

SUMMER is the time to go out and about, and stained, discoloured teeth are just not an option for a healthy, happy looking smile in your holiday snapshots.

When you speak your teeth are the first thing people notice, and remember that if they are discoloured, it also makes you look older.

Having cleaner, whiter teeth, on the other hand, is a huge confidence booster, and if you feel better with yourself, you will look better to others.

To get a clean, bright smile, contact Lynda Martin-Campbell (who of course has sparkling white teeth herself) and carries out the treatment in a relaxed, friendly environment, using top-of-therange equipment.

A dental dam is applied to protect soft tissue and prevent soreness, and using the latest, leading products, the treatment is applied in three stages, with power laser used to activate the products, and taking just one hour.

Plus, research has shown that the treatment and frequency of laser light used actually kills bacteria that cause destructive gum diseases.

For a limited period only, there is a special half-price offer of just €125 for the treatment.

WHITENING: In one hour you can leave with the teeth you have always wanted.

You don’t have to worry about anything, just lie back and relax and listen to soft music while the ‘perfectwhiteteeth’ treatment not only returns your teeth to their natural white, but also improves your oral health, giving you a cleaner smile and

fresher breath. The effect is immediate, there is no ongoing treatment, it lasts between 18 months and five years, and there is no damage to teeth or enamel.

Treatment is carried out in the lovely surroundings of the Wellness Centre at The Tamisa Hotel, km3.3, Mijas Costa.

Phone Lynda for an appointment on 608 675 081.

Now is the time to take advantage of the special half-price offer of just €125 for the treatment. Leave in one hour with the teeth you have always wanted.

Also available, Aesthetic Medicine, botox, fillers, lip enhancement, spider vein removal from face and legs.

You can learn more on the website www.theperfectwhiteteeth.com.

These shoes should be lightweight, flexible and ‘breathable’.

Poorly fitted shoes restrict the feet and can cause foot problems. Take time to find a good shoe shop with competent fitters.

Toddlers often need new shoes every two – three months, young children every three – four months and children over three years, every four - six months.

To identify potential issues ensure: His feet look normal His shoes show even wear patterns He does not complain of tired feet and legs He seems to walk ‘normally’ i.e. not on his toes, toe in or toe out, have knocked knees etc He is not always tripping or stumbling.

Do not put any of this down to ‘growing pains’.

If you notice any of the above or have any questions, contact your local foot health specialist.

Little active feet love to walk, run and jump but sometimes, these same little feet need help. A special type of

orthotic insole designed especially for children may help little problems before they become big problems!

These go inside your child’s shoe, supporting his foot in its natural position and making his feet more comfortable.

The philosophy behind these is to give your child’s feet gentle ‘forgiving’ support and to enhance the natural development of your child’s musculoskeletal system.

To discuss this or any other problem, call Estelle Mitchell, Biomechanical and Musculoskeletal Specialist and your English Chartered Physiotherapist on 952 883 151 or go to www.TheBodyworksClinic .com.

Finances, however, do require your attention and a brief period of scrutiny will show you why. Someone close may be spending too much or undermining the situation by making big plans.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Nostalgia overtakes you and an urge to look back into the past is strong.

Perhaps you are thinking of tracing your family tree. It may be that you have received a letter or phone call that aroused your curiosity.

Whatever it is, do be aware that any decisions made this week could have far-reaching effects, for the good as well as the ʻnot so goodʼ.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) When you start to worry too much about things, it is time to take a step back. Senseless worrying is when you really cannot do anything to change the situation. Take into account how, in the past, worrying has affected your wellbeing. Maybe it is time to walk away and take another path entirely. Some may not be happy about this.

A need to listen to your innermost feelings and needs has perhaps been overlooked. With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, philosophical thoughts are often pushed into a corner. Even so, you owe it to yourself to truly consider what you want as opposed to going along with what others want from you.

Your opinion of someone is in the process of changing. It is not through any particular action of theirs towards you, rather it is a feeling that you should not be involved with their business. Trusting our instincts is something that we do not do enough.

The Polo House new menu of old classics

By Nicole Hallett ALONG with its new decor, The Polo House on Marbella’s Golden Mile, has revamped its menu.

This trendy gathering place was previously known for its molecular gastronomy. Since its reopening at the end of May they have “gone back to more traditional marriages of ingredients,” said Danny Lewis, Group Executive Chef for the Metro Group, which is the umbrella company for nine establishments including The Polo House. “It is our own interpretation of old classics. We let the flavours speak for themselves.”

For example the Polo House Capriese Salad uses four different varieties of organic tomatoes, tomato jelly and barata, which is a cream filled premium mozzarella flown in especially from Italy.

With their line-caught Sea Bass cooked in Salt, a traditional Spanish dish, they add their own special touches to improve on the flavour. They add egg white, wild herbs and flour, making a pastry, which after baked cracks apart so the fish’s skin sticks to the pastry revealing just the white flesh.

Eton Mess accounts for 70 per cent of all desserts ordered. This is probably due to the way it is prepared with freshly baked gooey Italian meringue, a mixture of 80 per cent Greek yoghurt and 20 per cent Devon cream, strawberries and a strawberry coulis with Kirsch finished with passion fruit.

Also popular is their Sunday Roast, which is carved at the table. “This is James Hewitt’s favourite

The Polo House is situated on Marbella’s Golden Mile.

A Day in the Life Danny Lewis, 43, originally from Wandsworth in London, has lived on the Costa del Sol for five years. Monday to Saturday, Danny wakes up around 7am and sorts things for his two girls, aged five and nine. This is also the only time in the working week in which he gets to see his Dutch wife. After he has taken his children to school he heads to work for 9.30am at one of the Metro Group’s restaurants.

These include Alberts in Cabopino, Mumtaz Indian Restaurant in Puerto Banus, Gaucho’s Argentinian Grill and Jack’s Restaurant in Puerto Banus and Benalmadena and two Metros, which are Italian restaurants.

He stays there until about 4pm working in tandem with the head chef, looking at dishes and solving any issues as well as working in improving dishes and simplifying service and new products which they are continuously evolving. He also helps out during the lunch period. At around 4pm or 5pm he heads into the office in Puerto Banus for about an hour to carry out the business side of things including making notes on what has happened that morning, sourcing new suppliers, among other things. After this he goes to The Polo House, ready for service to start at 6pm and stays there until the last order, which is at 1am.

Once home it takes him a while to wind down before he can get some sleep to be ready for the next day.

and he can be seen here most Sundays,” said Chef Danny.

Whenever possible, foods are sourced locally and are organic, other than speciality items which are brought in from overseas, including France, Italy and the UK. One of these is the potato. “The quality of British potatoes is superior to the ones here, which burn too fast.”

Most meats they use are organic and the beef is from grass fed cows from

Galicia. “The meat from cows that have been grass fed is firmer and has a better texture.”

“It is all about consistently good quality, sourcing the best ingredients and keeping customers happy,” said Chef Danny.

The clientele at The Polo House is as international as their cuisine, which gives three different dining times.

“Northern Europeans come between 8pm-9.30pm, Spanish 10-11.30pm and Arabs after midnight.”

While previously, attire worn to The Polo House was formal, with the change in interior decor and menu, there has been a change in the dress code, which is now smart casual.

The Polo house won best International Restaurant 2011 from the Essential awards and was runner up in 2010, losing out to twoMichelin star restaurant Calima.

Opening times are from 5pm-1.30am. 952 900 380. www.polohousemarbella .com.

Authentic food GREAT Indian food, good service, an attractive ambiance and reasonable prices. That’s what you can expect from India Lucia located in Torrenueva.

The restaurant is beautifully appointed with a very spacious, attractively decorated, dining area with seating for 75 people and a large bar area.

As you enter Torrenueva from the N340 the first view of the restaurant is from the rear entrance. Around the supermarket on the corner you will find more than adequate parking and the main entrance to the restaurant.

On entering the restaurant the kitchen is on the left hand side, and a glance inside reveals

gleaming utensils and workspace and the source of wonderful aromas.

Despite the luxurious appearance of the restaurant the food is very reasonably priced. The menu is extensive with all the dishes you would expect from an authentic Indian kitchen.

There are also special dishes from other countries for example Mardan Marsala, is a dish from Northen Pakistan. This is very tasty but quite a dry dish made with steamed lamb (or chicken), fresh tomatoes and spices.

There are also some speciality dishes from other Asian countries, which are complimented by a good range of freshly made naan

breads.

The India Lucia offers fine dining at reasonable prices, the bar is well stocked and there is an ample wine list.

The service is polite and courteous and the food is attractively presented.

A takeaway service is available, and the restaurant is open from 6pm till midnight every day.

There is live music at the weekends.

Food packets could become edible FOOD in supermarkets of the future could come in edible packaging.

A group of scientists in France have created WikiCells.

This packaging imitates how fruit and vegetables are packaged in nature with a protective outer layer that can be eaten.

“The idea was to use the model of how nature wraps food,” said Dr Edwards, a professor from Harvard.

“It is a completely new way of packaging and eating.”

He has developed a range of yoghurt pots, juice cartons, water bottles and ice cream containers that mimic natural packaging by enclosing the food and liquid in an edible membrane.

The edible material is a combination of algae and calcium mixed with food particles like cocoa or fruit so that the packaging tastes like what is inside.

Packaging containing liquids can be pierced with a straw and the contents drunk before being eaten.

Products could be widely available in stores within five years.

End of summer bash AGE CONCERN is organising an ‘End of Summer Bash’ music concert.

It will be held on Saturday September 8, 2pm opposite Fathoms, Duquesa de Arcos in Sabanillas.

It is organised in conjunction with Fathoms and the Manilva Foreigners Department.

There will be entertainment from a wide range of performers, a raffle, and an open mic.

PHILIP MAGEE: One of Philip’s photographs.

Fundraising photography exhibition for a friend PHILIP MAGEE, Irish born photographer from Dublin, began his trajectory in the world of photography at the camera club of his secondary school, where lessons were learned through experimentation and trial and error.

On leaving school, he continued to develop his eye on a more professional level at Dun Laoghaire College of Art and Design in Dublin.

After graduating, Magee worked as a freelance photographer in

Ireland taking pictures of everything from weddings to political events.

Magee arrived in Malaga 12 years ago shooting black and white film. With the dawn of the digital age, Magee switched immediately from film to a digital camera. In Malaga, he has continued to develop his own personal style. He is a member of a photographic blog called www.andaluzfotografias.blogspot.com as well as a member of the Andalusia International Artists

group - www.aia-artgroup.com/ with whom he exhibits in and around Andalusia.

Philip Magee’s work spans his 12 year uninterrupted stay in Malaga creating an impressive archive of Malagueño life. Magee has thousands of images of the city and especially of the typical traditions and fiestas such as the Semana Santa and the summer Feria.

However, what stands out most from his work is not only the typical scenes of these events but what is happening

Classical music by the light of the moon THERE is a classical guitar concert being held at the English Cemetery in Malaga next Friday (August 31) at 9pm.

Spanish classical guitarist, Javier Villafuerte will be performing.

It is being hosted by the English Cemetery in Málaga Foundation and St George’s Anglican Church in Malaga. For more information call 952 400 006 or 638 339 691, visit their website www.cementerio inglésmálaga.org or look them up on Facebook: Fundacion Cementerio Ingles Malaga/English Cemetery Malaga Foundation.

The English Cemetery in Malaga will be hosting the concert.

around them-how people interact, behave and really feel the moment. Passionate about photography and Malaga, Magee never leaves home without his camera, always ready to capture another unique Malaga moment.

Unfortunately, this 12 year old habit took a very sad and unfortunate turn recently. On Friday 4th August, while walking home in the early hours of the morning, Magee was attacked and left unconscious on the street. When he regained consciousness, he realized that apart from being beaten up, his attackers had stolen his beloved camera, his wallet, his mobile phone and even his glasses.

Phil’s friends, shocked at the news, decided to organise an event to raise funds in order for Phil to be able to replace his camera.

One of Phil’s closest friends, Giuseppe Zanin, owner of the bar Er Compa en Calle Compás de la Victoria, 42 (opposite la Iglesia de la Victoria) has offered his restaurant to hold a fundraising exhibition of Magee’s photography.

This event will take place on August 24 at 8.30pm – midnight. Works will include prints and originals by Philip Magee from 20€ to 160€. For more information about the event, please call Kay Farrell: 606 978 513.

Create cool shading in your summer garden

S

UMMER will hopefully still be with us for another six weeks but with temperatures dropping by a degree or two as we enter September. Where else than Spain and other Mediterranean climate areas of the world can one find sunny cloudless skies for so long but still with enviable colourful and productive gardens?

Luckily many plants have a defence mechanism when the weather is very hot and slow down their activity with growth and flowering being reduced except for true tropical and semi-tropical flowering plants and trees. But even then most plants welcome shelter from the hottest suns in semi or full shade for at least part of the day.

Likewise so do humans, pets, insects and garden wildlife such as geckoes and frogs.

Twenty five years ago few gardens in Spain would not have been partly wooded with evergreens and flower or fruit trees.

Gardening Corner

By Clodagh and Dick Handscombe

Spain’s best known gardening authors who have lived and gardened in Spain for 25 years. www.gardeninginspain.com

When we purchased our house we kept old trees and planted more and maximised the use of the natural shade.

Likewise we now take maximum advantage of trees, trailing climbers over pergolas or wires from trees to the house wall.

Very few spots in the garden now are not in dappled shade for at least part of the day.

White stones help keeps things cool looking.

Unfortunately the newly imported sails do not create the same shade and often look out of place.

One thought re pergolas.

They create cool shade when surrounded by planted areas, but can be very hot if surrounded by large areas of baking hot terraces. Minimise these areas.

Why not plant up some areas of the garden, especially those you see when resting with cooling plantings that are predominantly white, grey, blue and mauve as suggested in Chapter 2.6 in ‘Your Garden in Spain – From planning to planting and maintenance’.

Possible plants include white and blue agapanthus, mauve talbaghias, white flowering petunias, bignonias, solanum, jasmine and roses, the grey foliage of echiums, lavenders, some gazanias and sages.

Likewise white walls, white plant pots, rocks in rockeries, areas of white stone chippings, light versus dark coloured paths and terraces and white washed trunks of citrus trees can help cool down the garden.

Lastly, but not least, the sight and sound of water can be stimulating, soothing and cooling.

Space has run out but we hope some of the above

tips help you enjoy your Spanish abode to the full. © Clodagh and Dick Handscombe www.gardeninginspain.co m August 2012.

Lawyers in Spain: good bad and indifferent!

THERE are few more critical resources to have in life than a good lawyer.

This is never more so the case than when you are living abroad where laws, customs and regulations can be bafflingly complicated. It is then that a ‘tame’ and trustworthy lawyer can be a ‘life-saver’, who can prevent a simple misunderstanding from turning into a major crisis.

Certainly, the laws and regulations of Spain are very different from the UK and never should you think that just because Spain is in the EU everything operates the same as elsewhere in the Union.

It does not!

Indeed, Spain’s law is notoriously complicated, not least because some laws and regulations vary considerably even within the country itself, due to the autonomy of the individual Regions.

Meanwhile, as we all know, Spain is infamous for having laws that are not enforced or that are enforced erratically, something that has caused innumerable problems, particularly for foreign property owners.

The question, of course, is how competent are Spanish lawyers and how do you find one who will

Nick Snelling Nick Snelling is the author of five books including ‘How to Buy Spanish property and Move to Spain – Safely!’ and runs the information site Culture Spain

be your ‘life safer’ and provide you with a professional, unbiased and objective service?

Well, clearly there are some excellent lawyers in Spain, who act with great integrity and who provide a superb service.

However, sadly, there are some who are far from professional and others who offer a dreadful service.

Part of the problem is that many Spanish lawyers are sole practitioners who often do not specialize in a distinct area of the law, such as conveyancing, probate, litigation or corporate law.

This means that it can be difficult to find dedicated experts with a genuine depth of experience and knowledge in the subject matter that concerns you.

To compound matters further, some Spanish lawyers dealing with the foreign market have tended to be young and relatively inexperienced, having naturally gravitated to dealing with

foreigners through their ability to speak English (a skill often lacking in their older colleagues).

So, if you need a sound lawyer in Spain what should you do?

Naturally, using a lawyer recommended by several different (and unconnected) people is always a good idea.

However, if that is not possible then make sure your intended lawyer in Spain: 1. Speaks and writes your language perfectly.

2. Is completely independent of any other party (the seller, an estate agent, other contractual party etc.)

3. Specialises in the area of work you require 4. Has high value public liability insurance (double check this - as some lawyer’s public insurance liability cover can be very low!)

5. Gives a quote in

writing for any work, together with a formal IVA invoice enumerating all work undertaken when completed 6. Provides all advice in writing All of the above are vital - with the provision of advice in writing particularly important.

This is something that is often neglected by lawyers in Spain who sometimes provide their advice orally, without then backing it up in writing.

When this is the case there is no ‘paper trail’ should something go wrong, making it virtually impossible to sue successfully for negligence.

Perhaps more to the point is that there is nothing like always asking for advice to be placed in writing to concentrate the minds of even the sloppiest lawyer…

Sheikh’s hotel plan for marina still up in the air SHEIKH Abudlah AlThani’s Bajadilla marina project has earned the support of Marbella government, with the exception of his plans for a hotel.

After the study of the marina’s environmental impact yielded favourable results, Marbella mayor, Angeles Muñoz, described “the Government’s positive attitude,” toward the project.

The future of the

sheikh’s plan for a hotel remains in the hands of cabinet members as opposed to the Environmental Council or the Department of Coast Management; however, that does not necessarily mean that opinions of these groups will not be considered.

Official data from the sheikh’s business offer emphasised the importance of establishing a hotel within the marina;

however, he also expressed the intention of constructing a 23,000metre shopping area.

However, the project has been paralysed due to the sheikh’s lack of funds, causing insecurity and doubt in the socialist group PSOE. Recently, PSOE representative, Jose Bernal, proposed that Marbella city hall allow another company to take on the La Bajadilla marina project.

Public housing in San Pedro Alcantara MARBELLA Mayor, Angeles Muñoz made a visit to see the first public housing developments in San Pedro Alcantara in the last 20 years.

The homes located in the Cuatro Vientos neighbourhood must first be certified as protected housing by the Junta de Andalucia before owners can move in. This requires a period of approximately 15 days, explained the mayor.

Similar housing developments are underway as well, “in Nueva Andalucia, which is practically finished, in the La Campana neighbourhood, and also in Aloha because we wanted a variety of alternatives,” pointed out Muñoz.

The San Pedro Alcantara development is located near the city centre and contains 37 homes, 60 per cent of which have already been assigned to eligible individuals.

Toyota’s Yaris ‘floating roof’ sets the bar TOYOTA brings a bit of sizzle to the summer with the timely introduction of the new Yaris Edition and Yaris Trend.

Adding a healthy dose of visual pizzazz to Yaris’ sharp appearance, both come with blacked-out C-pillars which, combining with darkened rear privacy glass and contrasting with Tyrol Silver or Cirrus White paintwork, creates a floating roof effect.

Yaris Edition takes the entry-level T2 grade and adds a series of sporty features, including 15-inch Podium anthracite (smoke-finished), machined alloy wheels, front fog lamps, rear privacy glass, a dash of extra chrome exterior rear trim, a tachometer and a leathertrimmed gear knob. Manual air conditioning can be specified as an option.

Edition is powered by Toyota’s award-winning 1.0-litre VVT-i petrol engine, with five-speed manual transmission. Three and five-door versions are offered, from £11,695 (€14,871).

Yaris Trend takes the sports-themed Yaris SR as its starting point, adding the new Podium alloys in 16-inch form and a chrome tailpipe trim. The Toyota Touch & Go multimedia system with satellite navigation can be specified as an option.

Power is from the 1.33-litre VVT-i petrol unit, with a choice of six-speed manual or, in the five-door version, Toyota’s Multidrive S CVT automatic.

A dose of visual pizzazz adds to the sharp appearance.

Superbowl take day trip to new green at Miraflores IT started with a phone call from Craig Lewis (Superbowl captain), he asked how the new green at Miraflores was performing and on hearing that it’s bowling extremely well he said he’d like to pay a visit to the club with a few members from Superbowl to try it out if that was possible.

We said we’d be delighted and a couple of days later what had started as a ‘few’ - Craig called to say he already had 28 people and was expecting a few more!

The day arrived and including a couple of members from ours and other clubs we had 36 people playing.

The participants varied from well known experienced bowlers including Don and Pat Fisher, Terry and Maureen Barrett, John and Shirley Owen, Manuel Batista and ‘Saint’ to new young bowlers who’d never visited Miraflores previously.

The format for the day was triples and Craig organised it so that everybody played four games of four ends each so that all the participants had the opportunity to try different rinks.

Craig had put up a prize for the winning triple, but due to a number of incorrectly completed scorecards he drew a scorecard for the winning team of Don, Kathy and Russell.

After the game most of the players stayed and enjoyed a barbecue in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere.

All agreed that they’d had a great time and that the green was playing excellently.

Finally, entries for the Camero Cup mixed pairs

Antonio Tapia returns to Malaga CF MALAGA CF has announced that Antonio Tapia has joined the team’s football directory as a sporting adviser.

This will be the third time Tapia has worked with the club.

The first time was in 1994 when he joined Malaga CF’s coaching staff as assistant, staying there for two years before moving in the same capacity to neighbouring Cadiz CF. Tapia returned to Malaga’s reserves in 2002 and after Gregorio Manzano’s dismissal midway through 20042005 he took the reins of the first team, but was sacked in the same period of the following year, being replaced by the director of football Manolo Hierro.
