All the other bars in the area had already closed at about 2am.

Irish police are cooperating with Spanish officers to determine if the shooting was gang-related, and to see if the victim might be involved in lowrank mob activities.

O’Driscoll’s father was stabbed to death in gang violence in 1991 while his brother Thomas has been dubbed the ‘unluckiest criminal’ for his long police record and accidents that have put him twice into a wheelchair.

Two get life for Mijas teenage killing TWO men have started life jail terms for murdering a teenage Finnish girl in Mijas.

Finns Joona Mikael Hasselqvistin, aged 19, and Joel Aarne Esaias Lilon, 21, were sentenced by a Finnish court over the murder of 18-year-old Jenna Lepomäki who they originally intended to lead into prostitution after paying for her air ticket to the Costa del Sol, but then decided to use her as a cocaine mule instead.

After threatening her, when she refused in June 2011, they stabbed and strangled her, hiding the body before trying to burn and dismember it.

They then abandoned the remains at the Mijas property where Hasselqvistin lived.

The court heard the two accused returned to Finland separately, but were

arrested after Jenna’s body was found in Mijas last October 6.

They had earlier tried to cover their tracks by reserving Jenna a return ticket to Finland and sending her birthday wishes on Facebook and several text messages.

By Nicole Hallett POLICE in Spain are continuing the search for a British expatriate missing for more than 10 days, along with €30,000 in cash.

Interpol has also been alerted with border crossings keeping a watch for 28year-old Paul Scott.

The Manchester United fan had been a crew member on board the yacht the money went missing from for six months.

He was one of four crew aboard the British-flagged yacht hired privately by passengers to take them from Ibiza to Moraira, north of Alicante on the Costa

Blanca. After dropping off the passengers the yacht docked overnight in Denia, near Moraira.

It was after a night out in Benidorm that it was discovered the money and other items were missing from the safe and there was no sign of Scott.

Paul has a distinctive tattoo of 11 stars from his wrist to his shoulder, standing for Manchester United Premiership wins, according to Ruth Cherrett, wife of the captain of the yacht, who added: “We had worked with him for six months and he is a really nice guy. We are devastated.”

SIX HUNDRED people were evacuated from their homes and hotels and the A-7 motorway was cut off by a raging blaze near Estepona.

The fire, which broke out in scrubland between Estepona Golf and Urbanisation Valle Romano, was reported at 1.50pm on Saturday.

Due to its proximity to a residential area, fire-fighters’ first priority was to protect the homes and people.

A stretch of the A-7 by kilometre 152 was cut off for more than an hour, during which time traffic was diverted.

The fire was stabilised by 9.20pm and under control by midnight the same day with no injuries reported.

It burnt around 85 hectares of land.

Investigations are underway to determine the cause of the fire.

Meanwhile, Spain is suffering its worst summer for wildfires in the last decade, with blazes across the country, as reported in last week’s paper.

On the same day as the Estepona fire, a whole village in the Almeria Province was evacuated on Saturday night after a devastating blaze broke out earlier that morning on a pine tree covered hillside by Bedar.

It took fire-fighters - with the help of a military emergency response team - more than 24 hours to extinguish the blaze with residents only allowed back to their homes Sunday afternoon.

It is believed the Bedar fire was started intentionally.

NO ESCAPE! VAT rises to hit everyone NO household - expatriate or Spanish - will escape an increase in spending following this Saturday’s IVA/VAT rises.

Whether simply buying an item of clothing, having a cigarette or selecting a CD, from September 1 it will cost more.

While many families have - when budgets have allowed - tried stocking up in advance on some items to help ease the VAT charges, with daily incidentals, including making phone calls and having a beer or wine facing increases, life is about to get a whole lot more costly across the board.

The standard rate of VAT in Spain is 18 per cent at present, but from Saturday this rises to 21 per cent on many things including alcoholic drinks, tobacco, television and radio services, clothes, phone calls, animals used in bullfighting,

agricultural machinery and overthe-counter pregnancy tests.

Also rising to 10 per cent VAT from Saturday will be items at present in the reduced 8 per cent rating, including: • Foodstuffs in general (with the exception of some basics in the 4 per cent band • Soft drinks • Animals destined for human consumption or breeding • Health and social services, plus dental work • Imported artworks and antiques • Motorway tolls • Taxi fares • Rubbish collections.

Odd items will be removed from the reduced 8 per cent rate and moved to the standard 21 per cent VAT rate from Saturday, meaning there will be a massive 13 per cent price increase in visits to the

But when they arrive from Saturday onwards and go to relax over a cooling beer, wine or even a soft drink, then they should prepare to pay more than they would have done had they visited in August!

VALON, a leading provider of funeral plans, has opened a new office on the Costa del Sol, initially creating 20 new jobs in the local area, with more to follow in the coming months.

The two Spanish offices complement Avalon’s presence in Manchester and London.

Distributed free, written in English and published weekly, since 2007 while the remainder of Europe has plunged into economic crisis, the Euro Weekly News (EWN) has increased pagination from 64 to 120 (in Costa del Sol).

Income - entirely from advertising - has risen and while five years ago EWN published four separate editions each week, it now produces six (with a total pagination of approximately 450).

“We are permanently in touch with clients and we know how to adapt to what the market wants.”

They produce ‘tapas’ journalism with few long stories ‘unlike Spanish newspapers’, and articles on a wide range of topics from bank scams to foreign pensioners, jellyfish beach invasions to new restaurant openings.

There is financial advice and the latest on the Spanish royal family, plus recipes for slimming or advice on spicing up life.

In addition to plenty of news and features, there is also wide-ranging advertising.

“When our competitors were paying dividends during the boom years, we were investing. Today practically all of them have gone.”

Is there a lesson here, not just for other newspapers but for the rest of the business community?

Diego Spadoni, an Italian who has lived in Spain for 20 years and owns the Sol y Miel Hotel near the EWN headquarters, says so.

This year he has lowered prices, turnover is down and clients are not staying for as long, but even so he expects this month (August) to show 90 per cent occupation.

“The great present need is to be more professional, have more initiative and connect better with clients. You have to work longer hours and watch costs. People who don’t know what to do, open a bar. A Spanish classic,” says Spadoni.

Super-professional Dani Garcia agrees that opening a bar is no longer a good idea. “The sector is saturated,” says the Marbella restaurateur whose establishment - Calima - has two Michelin stars.

He has succeeded because he describes Marbella as ‘a protected bubble’, with a flow of rich,

Additionally, Garcia emphasises the importance of attention to detail, as ongoing plans will see him open a New York restaurant in November.

But for every winner there is a loser.

Some four-star hotels in Benalmádena are offering rooms for €20, less than half of the price Spadoni charges at the two-star Sol y Miel.

The tourism industry is supposedly buoyant in Spain and has increased since last year.

“If the least affected

sector in Spain is the way it is now, what must the rest be like?” Spadoni asks.

So what about publishing, where lay-offs are frequent nowadays and the outlook appears grim?

Strangely, the greatest problem for the audacious Euesdens is the lack of first-class staff.

“They must speak English, naturally, as well as Spanish. We are looking not just for journalists and salespeople but also bloggers and people with computer expertise,” says Michel.

“Help us to find them.

Please!”

Unsolicited phone calls ‘annoy much more than junk emails’ PEOPLE find unsolicited phone almost twice as irritating as emails and letters.

This is shown in statistics of the 223,134 people in Spain who have registered with the Lista Robinson.

This is a list of consumers who have registered, via the internet, to opt out of receiving unsolicited marketing phone calls or communications.

Of those registered, 177,067 specified that they do not want marketing phone calls, either on their landlines or mobiles.

A further 98,566 requested a block on postal marketing, 93,658 on text messages and 89,388 on emails.

These figures prove phone calls are the greatest irritant, said the list’s legal adviser, Sol Mestre.

The Lista Robinson appeared in Madrid in June, 2009, presented by

SO ANNOYING: Cold calls by aggressive telemarketing companies. the data protection agency, AEPD, and must be consulted by companies in compliance with Spain’s data protection laws. All on the list must be excluded from company marketing strategies.

Madrid and Barcelona have more residents

registered than other Spanish cities, and interestingly women outnumber men by 53 to 47 per cent.

Anyone can register free with Lista Robinson, indicating which marketing channel or channels they wish to block.

A rise in the number of new registrations always coincides with the onset of aggressive telephone marketing campaigns, Mestre said.

“People do not want to be bothered by calls at inconvenient times that intrude on their lives,

offering something they have not requested.”

If unsolicited calls do not cease within three months, subscribers can lodge a formal complaint with Spain’s Agencia de Proteccion de Datos and firms can face fines of up to €60,000.

Store must name top spend clients EL CORTE INGLES has lost its fight to keep top customers’ credit card purchases a secret.

The famous store chain is to be forced to reveal client information to the Spanish Treasury following a National Court Order that it must provide personal or company information on its best clients.

All clients who spend more than €30,000 a year with the chain’s popular shopping cards will soon be investigated by the AntiFraud Office.

The court order will affect both Spanish and foreign clients, and will reveal the bank with which they made the card payments, even if the bank is abroad.

El Corte Ingles initially rejected the Treasury’s order saying it was not ‘relevant’ for the administration, but the Supreme Court has backed the National Court, allowing the Treasury access to any financial information it may require.

High-flying granny praises double rescue by helpful easyJet GRANDMOTHER Jean Leftwick has only skyhigh praise for easyJet after the budget airline twice came to her rescue.

Sixty eight year old Jean who lives near Alhaurin el Grande frequently flies to and from Malaga and Liverpool airports with her grandchildren.

They live in North West Cheshire with other members of Jean’s family and regularly visit on holiday.

A couple of weeks ago after collecting all the left-over holiday spending money following a visit by Daniel, 10, and six-yearold James to her and a friend Julia Holley, she set off to accompany them on the flight back to the UK. But on board with two hungry and thirsty children, she realised she had forgotten her handbag with the money in it.

“But the crew could not have been more understanding, giving us drinks and crisps,” said Jean.

“I can’t imagine what

SMILING AFTERMATH: Jean Leftwick with her purse now safely back at home. would have happened to us if the easyJet staff had not understood my problems and helped us.”

Days later, when returning on an easyJet flight to Spain, after getting home late, she discovered she had left her purse containing cash, bank cards, driving licence, Residencia card and other personal items on the plane.

But the following day, after going to the

airport with Julia, within 10 minutes Jean was handed her purse with all its contents.

“The airport security officials and the easyJet staff were so polite and reassuring.

“I couldn’t believe it,” says Jean. “I was a damsel in distress and twice the airline became knights in shining armour and flew to my rescue.

“You hear so many critical stories about

low-cost airlines, but to me easyJet airline staff are just wonderful. And what’s more the airline is always on time, if not early.”

Police hunt for 65-year-old actor missing from La Cala Visiting family of expat ‘worried sick’

By Nicole Hallett A FORMER British actor has been missing since leaving his home in La Cala de Mijas more than a week ago.

John Leach, 65, who once starred in the early 1990s’ TV series El Dorado, was last seen walking past the barrier on the N340 - heading out of La Cala in the direction of Fuengirola - by El Sheriff bar sometime between 12.30pm and 1pm on Tuesday August 21.

It is believed he may have decided to attend a wake at El Chaparral Golf in a bar called The Hut at 4pm. The day before he had called a few friends to see if they would be going although had not made any plans to get a lift.

He was carrying €10 in cash and his mobile phone although there has been no activity on it since August 6, according to a police trace.

“He is well known in the community and we have spoken to all his friends and he is not staying with any of them,” said his daughter Jessica Leach.

“Since last October he has been ill with a liver problem so in the last 10 months he has not had a drink or gone out of the house other than his daily

visit to Mercadona and a chat with locals before coming back home.

“He sticks to this routine, so for him to wander off is a very unusual thing.

There is no explanation why this has happened. He has not been apart from my mother in 37 years. He would not just leave. My mother and I are worried sick and having difficulty sleeping. We just hope he is found safe soon.”

When Leach left that morning, he was reportedly in good spirits and had told his family he would see them later.

A Spanish man reported that he had seen a man answering Leach’s description wearing a grey polo shirt with beige or white three-quarterlength trousers and brown shoes.

Police are actively searching for Leach and have been ringing Jessica every few hours to give her updates.

Jessica who was in La Cala on holiday visiting her parents has cancelled her return home to stay with her mother.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts should contact Jessica Leach directly on 602 605 188 or email nicole@euroweeklynews.com.

Four children left alone in locked shop A CHINESE couple have been arrested in Malaga for allegedly temporarily abandoning their four children aged from one to 11.

The children were reportedly left alone, locked in a shop filled with knives and toxic products.

Neighbours alerted police after they heard voices from inside the shop and banging on the shutters.

Officers initially tried to contact the children’s parents but when this failed, firefighters were brought in to force open the door.

Once inside the premises, the officers found the floor littered with clothes, a mattress and excrement.

The children’s parents arrived back some 40 minutes later and claimed they had left the children alone so that they could go to the shops.

Tight-lipped Ryanair enrage passengers RYANAIR could face legal proceedings from at least 100 passengers who were stranded for 12 hours on an internal Spanish flight.

Police and Guardia Civil officers were called to ease tensions after the flight from Menorca to Madrid was aborted after the crew detected a technical fault.

Passengers were returned to the airport building but they claim Ryanair failed to explain what was happening.

Tempers flared and ‘scoundrels!’ and ‘hands up, this is a stickup!’ were some of the milder accusations from the 180 people waiting to fly to Madrid.

Police and Guardia Civil officers obliged Ryanair staff to stamp and validate passengers’ official complaint forms.

They also kept them informed of developments.

None of the crew was

Declining to give her name, she confirmed that she and approximately 100 others intended to lodge an official complaint against the airline.

Ryanair later refused to

provide its own version of events.

The company is currently under investigation by the Spanish authorities regarding three emergency landings made at Valencia airport on July 26.

according to European regulations, Ryanair boss O’Leary later said.

“Ryanair operates like every other European airline and no-one was in danger,” he insisted.

“And although Spain could investigate the company,” it cannot withdraw Ryanair’s licence,” he claimed.

President’s night to remember Frank MIJAS LA CALA LIONS CLUB will hold a cabaret night next month, with some funds going to the Cudeca Foundation.

Members and friends gathering at the Mijas Playa Restaurant on September 22 for the President's Cabaret Night will in particular remember the late Frank Bowles who died six months ago.

“Frank and his wife Anne joined the Mijas La Cala Lions club in 2004, at the invitation of the club president, in order to integrate the Diabetic Support Group which they had established the previous year into the Lions thereby ensuring its future,” said current Mijas La Cala Lions President Bryan Coventry.

“The Mijas La Cala Lions Diabetic Support Group has since gone from strength to strength offering both advice and assistance to diabetics along the coast.

“Indeed their efforts were rewarded last year with the Lions’ International President’s prestigious Letter of Commendation in recognition of their ‘outstanding achievements among the diabetic community on the Costa del Sol’,” said Bryan.

“Frank’s widow Anne remains committed to leading the group thereby ensuring continuity of the service they established together,and is also the Lions’ social secretary.”

Frank, former editor of the bi-monthly Costa del Sol Golf News, was Press officer of the Mijas La Cala Lions until he resigned through ill-health in 2010.

Founded in 1998, the Mijas La Cala Lions club donated nearly €47,000 to various causes during its last financial year ending June 30.

With a current membership of just under 30, it raises money for local, national and international causes through events, and a charity shop staffed by volunteers in La Cala.

Tickets priced €40 for the President’s Cabaret Night are available from The Lions Shop, or by phoning 952 493 749 or 647 532 878.

Blaze threatens village A FOUR-DAY blaze has not only threatened a region with environmental disaster, but a small village with financial ruin.

Land-locked Castrocontrigo (Castilla y Leon) in northern Spain on the border of Portugal, has 900 residents, many of them earning a living from collecting resin.

But despite the recent efforts of 800 fire-fighters and the emergency services, they saw 10,000 hectares of pinewoods lost to flames, some 40m high.

The blaze at its height had a 60km perimeter.

Surrounding countryside, with firebreaks and paths carefully tended for generations, is now just ashes, and an overpowering smell of burning resin hangs over the area.

“Pine resin is the perfect fuel for flames,” explained one expert called in to help with the emergency.

The resin-collecting industry, which had slowly recovered after faltering in the ´80s, is now under threat again, said Castrocontrigo’s Mayor Aureliano Fernandez.

The future is uncertain for the families who depend on resin for their income, more so now that the area’s agricultural activity is in decline, he said.

Investigations indicate that the fire was started deliberately.

REMAINS FOUND: Ruth and Jose Breton disappeared in October 2011.

Hopes dashed of finding Ruth and Jose alive

FRAGMENTS of charred bone found in the remains of a bonfire belong to Ruth and Jose Breton, police have confirmed.

The children, last seen with their father Jose Breton on October 8, 2011, were aged six and two.

Analysis by an independent expert, Francisco Exteberria, a professor of Legal and Forensic Medicine, confirmed the bones were those of ‘immature humans’.

A still-smouldering bonfire on land at the home of Breton’s parents in Las Quemadillas (Cordoba) was examined two days after the children disappeared.

Bones were located at the

time but police pathologists identified them as belonging to rodents.

The bonfire used to burn the bodies was constructed with bricks and sheet metal, revealed Jorge Fernandez Diaz, Minister of the Interior, on Monday.

The blaze would have reached a temperature of 800ºC and burnt for three hours, explaining why no other remains were present.

“Whoever lit the bonfire knew what they were doing,” said the professor.

“Most crimes linked to fire are uncovered because people do not know how to burn, this time they did.”

Internet access wherever you are.

Any DNA traces would be destroyed in this kind of heat, said Professor Exteberria, who has worked closely with the police on many occasions.

With genetic analysis ruled out, he had examined around 200 bone fragments and nine teeth.

It was impossible to determine whether Ruth and Jose were still alive when their bodies were burnt. If the police pathologists findings were found to be flawed, he would not apportion blame as it was more important the truth be discovered.

Jose Breton, who was being sued for divorce by Ruth and Jose’s mother when they went missing, was remanded in custody last October owing to inconsistencies in his story.

Described as ‘cold’ and ‘manipulative’, he has consistently denied involvement in their deaths, although they were staying with him on the day when they allegedly disappeared from a Cordoba park.

least two other family members in their charge.

Several labour unions are sceptical and warned that people will have to be careful with the ‘fine print’.

People receiving the ‘Plan Prepara’ grant have to take training courses as part of a scheme initially introduced by the Zapatero government in February 2011, with an initial six-month duration. The latest extension is the third to be put into place.

Getting tough on sharp sales THE government has stepped in to halt what many feel was ‘sharp selling’ by many banks.

Buyers of preferred bank shares will now have to know exactly what they are investing in.

And they will need to personally sign a consent form before purchasing.

In some cases there must be a minimum investment of €100,000, Economy Minister Luis de Guindos has stated.

Tempted by high dividends and led by some banks to believe they were making a deposit, not an

Flirty way to get a good deal IN tough economic times, flirty women are more likely to get a good deal than men.

Women who act ‘flirtatiously’ when out shopping, or negotiating for major purchases including a car, are more likely to get a substantial discount than males, a study in both the UK and America shows.

It is thought a combination of flirting and friendliness may help women disarm male salespeople in sales negotiations.

Laura Kray of the University of California, Berkeley in the US, said that flirty women can often be seen to ‘convey assertiveness and power’.

investment, more than one million bank customers saw savings trapped after buying into unredeemable shares.

De Guindos described the shares as a ‘sophisticated product’, but many who invested originally discovered too late that they could get their money back only by reselling on the secondary market.

Many invested in banks subsequently nationalised by the Spanish government and found their chances of breaking even, let alone making a profit, were nil.

The latest legislation introduced last Friday will prevent situations like those of recent years, De Guindos added.

Meanwhile, banks with clients wanting to recover money ploughed into preferred shares are offering to exchange them for ordinary shares or other products.

With time, this may enable them to recoup their original investments.

But this course is not open to nationalised groups including Bankia, Novagalicia and Catalunya Caixa, as the European Commission is insisting that restructuring must be financed by creditors, including preference shareholders.

Biggest problem is the community president

Q

We have a problem with the president of our community, who takes a fee for doing the job but fails to carry out some duties despite several requests.

One duty is maintaining the street lights, two of which have been out of order for some time. Recently a group of noisy youths identified the area as a good place to congregate.

We have repeatedly requested our president to You and the make the defective lights operational again, but Law in Spain have been ignored.

By David Searl It seems that at the last Annual General Meeting (AGM) the matter was raised but the lights remain dark. What action can we take to ensure that the president carries out duties for which she receives a fee from the community?

P D (Costa Blanca)

A

Community of Property Owners is a democracy.

The problem with this is that a democracy is a do-it-yourself organisation.

The members discuss the issues at the AGM and settle disputes by majority vote. The AGM is the supreme authority. In your case, if the elected president fails to carry out his or her assigned duties, you should first make the complaint in writing, directly to the president and also to the assembled members at the AGM. Perhaps you could inform the other members by a circular in mailboxes.

Make sure your complaint is on the formal meeting agenda for discussion and vote.

This agenda is a serious matter.

Only issues which appear on the agenda can be voted upon. Then, the vote of the majority of members requiring the president to fix the street lights should do the trick.

If there are even more serious problems, one-fourth of the members, who represent one-fourth of the ‘cuotas’ or community fees, can force the calling of an Extraordinary General Meeting.

This meeting might have only one item on the agenda, which would be replacement of the president.

Plastic payments keep home-life ticking ALMOST half of British households continue to depend on credit cards to pay their rising utility bills, a recent survey has shown.

£££ HALF of Britain’s employees spend an average of £367 (€458) of their own money each year on work-related expenses, with only 45 per cent claiming expenses back, revealed a Capital One study.

history and enough equity may halve their monthly payments, according to Adrian Anderson of Anderson Harris.

£££ APPROXIMATELY 39 in every 10,000 mortgage applicants lied about their finances from April to July, representing a 23 per cent yearly rise, a study shows.

£££ THE campaign group, ‘Save our Savers’ has asked the government to abolish taxation of British saving accounts to boost returns for millions.

£££ APPROXIMATELY 130,000 people receive £7 (€8.75) or less state pension, about the same number that receive £230 (€287); however, this will change when the £140 (€175) flat-rate pension scheme is enforced, says Pensions Minister Steve Webb.

Daft ideas don’t take holidays but get summer-break boost IT’S a well-worn and rather tattered cliché.

But it really is beginning to appear that the lunatics have finally taken over the EU asylum.

One might file and forget the latest foolish proposals emanating from the EU merely as something thought up by tabloid journalists to fill pages during the annual July-August silly season.

But, sadly, this is not the case.

Perhaps the ideas floated by Spanish MEP Alejandro Cercas should not be taken too seriously. Maybe he was just acting the court jester during the holiday absence of those wannabe statesmen in Brussels. But, then again, it is important to ponder on the flood of directives - around 2,000 per year and some truly foolish - finding their way on to the statute books without parliamentary debate.

The following gem came as a surprise when I discovered it as an insignificant-looking paragraph hidden in a 65-page research document sent to me by a British MP. It concerned a proviso that every EU Commission directive must be perused by the European Scrutiny Committee at Westminster before being passed to the relevant ministers and departments.

This, I felt, was a practical safeguard until I discovered, tucked away, a further codicil stating that if an EU directive is not rejected by the

HOLIDAY MODE: The UK’s Houses of Parliament takes a long summer recess.

scrutiny committee within six weeks, it will be deemed to have been agreed, and will pass directly - and without parliamentary debate - into the statute book.

Six weeks might appear long enough for even a parliamentary committee to make up its mind, but the British parliament enjoys a long summer break from the end of July until October, and the European Scrutiny Committee, along with all the others, does not sit during this period.

However, the European Commission is away from its office only during August, which means that for 12 weeks every year, the EU can issue proposals that will not be scrutinised at Westminster.

It raises the question just how JUST over 5,150 people in Spain have many potentially declared incomes of more than €600,000, ‘toxic’ ideas have, more than 5,300 fewer than five years ago. over the years, Experts say it is normal for the rich in bad passed into British times to invest away from home when their law without parliaown country is experienciing recession. mentary scrutiny or debate?

Spanish money on the run

When in opposition Theresa May promised to address this anomaly, but I have not been able to discover if any action has been taken. Now, coincidentally(?), along has come another sample of EU idiocy which might still slip under the wire.

The EU mandarins are forever banging on about the need to improve the eurozone’s ‘competiveness’, and emphasising the importance of this in getting the various economies moving again. But then someone like Señor Cercas comes along with an altogether daft idea that, unless enforced worldwide, would slam the EU brakes full on, resulting in even more misery and deprivation than is already being suffered by so many poor souls living in the real world.

Under these proposals all employers intending to make job cuts would have to ‘measure the happiness of their staff’, and carry out ‘psychological health’ checks before and after redundancy.

Ridiculous, perhaps, but this silly idea has already received European Parliamentary approval, clearing its way to becoming a commission directive.

European Scrutiny Committee, watch out!

www.euroweeklynews.com WHEN making any investment, it is important to only use firms which are authorised and regulated and to look for arrangements which provide a high enough level of investor protection to give you peace of mind.

We unfortunately still hear stories of people losing money to unauthorised sales people.

For example, three Britons have recently been convicted over a £10 million Ponzi scheme which had targeted British expatriates in Spain.

The scheme ran from 2001 to 2009. Trading as Gilher Inc, the fraudsters promised investors 20% returns. The money was however never invested, and was instead diverted to support their own lifestyles. They owned luxury villas in the area and had an active social life there.

It is believed that 70 British residents in Mallorca were defrauded out of £10 million.

Most of them were retired, with many of them handing over their life savings. The amounts lost ranged between €11,000 and €223,000.

The investigation was carried out by the UK’s Senior Fraud Office, after receiving complaints from investors in November 2009.

In March Texan financier Allen Stanford was convicted by a US court of orchestrating a $7 billion Ponzi scheme.

Again, he had promised investors high returns, but

EWN

used the money to fund his other businesses and an opulent lifestyle. The largest Ponzi scheme in recent years remains Bernard Madoff’s $65 billion fraud, which came crashing down in December 2008.

Ponzi schemes basically use money from new investors to pay existing ones. The first investors will see returns, which help the scheme appear genuine and profitable to new investors. Those who invest later usually lose their money.

The capital is not actually invested and earning returns for the investors, and the schemes collapse when the unsustainable supply of new investors and money dries up.

According to the UK Financial Services Authority, too many Britons fall victim to investment scams.

Around £500m is lost each year to scams where people are

contacted to invest in shares, property or rare goods, with a promise of a high return. The majority of victims are men aged over 50, and most of them say they are experienced investors - so everyone needs to be on their guard, wherever they live.

Generally, the bigger the proposed return is, the greater the risk. Besides Ponzi schemes, “boiler room” scams involve fraudsters cold-calling people offering shares or other investments which turn out to be worthless, over-priced or nonexistent. Investors are promised high returns but usually end up losing their money.

Some victims have lost all their savings or their family home.

The Financial Services Authority warns that the tactics often sound like the “real deal, so it’s easy to be drawn in by their professional and high pressure sale tactics”.

How can you protect yourself from fraud?

When it comes to investments and pensions you should only work with firms which are fully authorised and regulated by a reputable national regulatory body like the UK Financial Services Authority.

Check this independently with the relevant authority. You can often do this online, for

example, you can access the Financial Services Authority register at www.fsa.gov.uk/register/home .do.

Only ever transfer money to an authorised institution or trust company. Never write a cheque or transfer funds to an unauthorised individual or company to invest it on your behalf.

Investing through a large established firm rather than being a one-man band will also give you peace of mind.

Compare the return being promised with comparable investments. If it is much higher then there is probably a catch. If nothing else it may be a much riskier investment than you realise.

Do not be tempted by get rich quick schemes. At the very least, limit the amount you invest and make sure you understand the investment and how returns are generated.

Most importantly, as the Financial Services Authority website warns (and the bold and use of capitals are theirs): “REMEMBER, IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS”.

To protect your wealth, you should only invest through proven investments placed through a trustworthy and established firm, such as

Blevins Franks Financial Management Limited.

For example, if you place your investments in a Luxembourg regulated insurance bond, you will benefit from an exceptionally strong culture of investor protection.

Luxembourg’s regulations are governed by EU directives that require strict financial controls and supervision to provide investors with a secure onshore regime.

This regime provides maximum security from institutional risk to investors without limit. Your investment assets are completely protected should the insurance company fail.

The regime offers complete segregation of clients’ assets from either the creditors of the insurance company or any of its custodian banks.

Blevins Franks Financial Management Limited is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Services Authority for the conduct of investment and pension business.

Spanish able to teach a lesson to the Chinese over breakfast WHEN it comes to breakfast in Spain, pan con tomate (tomato on toast with olive oil), pan con aceite (olive oil on toast) and churros - especially in winter - are all-time favourites.

And not only with the nationals, but equally with thousands of expatriates... though some do remain true to the full English!

In Mallorca, as well as to a lesser degree on mainland Spain, many like a savoury start to the day, including ensaimada.

And, of course, when it comes to breakfast out - a daily way of life for millions of workers in Spain from bankers to builders, from shop assistants to gardeners - it isn’t rare to see a fairly early morning coffee being served along with an accompanying small brandy.

But, according to a new survey, when it comes to breakfast and eating out, then the the Chinese are slow starters.

For only one in five urban consumers eat at fast-food restaurants between 4 and 11am, as opposed to a massive 75 per cent at lunchtimes.

With the total number of foreign fast-food outlets in China set to break the 50,000 mark this year - up from 48,477 in 2011 and 36,037 in 2006 - and 44 per cent of

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Many Spanish eat breakfast out.

Chinese consumers planning to spend more on fast-food in the coming year, the potential for the sector is clear.

Tan Heng Hong, Senior China Research

Analyst at Mintel, the global supplier of consumer, product and medical intelligence, with offices worldwide including in London, says: “More has to be done to unlock opportunities in the breakfast market where usage is the lowest.”

Following a recent survey by Mintel, he revealed that despite having the upper hand in quality, safety and service: “Foreign fast-food still has much work to do in flavour, affordability, health and variety in order to compete more effectively against Chinese fast-food, which has the largest share of the fast-food sector.”

Research also shows an interesting gender divide when it comes to foreign fastfood. More women (71 per cent) claim to eat at foreign fast-food restaurants than men (66 per cent).

Additionally while a quarter of all women eat at fast-food restaurants when there is a promotion including meal vouchers or coupons, only 19 per cent of men seek such special deals.

“To increase traffic among women, promotions such as vouchers and coupons can be a useful marketing tool. Women are interested in deals because they enjoy the thrill of not paying full price for an item,” said Hong.

Waste collectors mean bleary-eye starts to the day WHILE I love living in Spain, enjoying all that the weather and culture have to offer, I do have a pet hate; the rubbish collectors pitching up just as I am about to drift off to sleep or waking me up.

They are so noisy, between the vehicle and the tipping of the containers and the workers shouting, it is impossible to ignore.

I have to wake up early in the morning and as a result of this a couple of days a week I am exhausted at work, not having had the required hours of sleep.

I understand the reason, as this is the least busy time on the roads, but I wish they could do it a bit earlier.

Snapped!

HERE is a photo of a butterfly taken at Benalmadena Butterfly House. This looks like the Scarlet Mormon from the Philippines, one of the larger butterfly species.

WHEN YOU WRITE

I WAS shocked to read that despite the 24.6 per cent unemployment in Spain, the Employment Ministry still had to advertise some jobs abroad because ‘no-one’ in Spain wants them (Issue 1415).

Here in Spain these benefits only last for a short time.

Surely people not working in Spain and who have no other source of income should be willing to do almost any job.

I read all the time that the various town halls offer work training programmes.

Upon arrival back in the UK we headed to make our claim. My suitcase was mangled - made to look like a bus had gone over it – and cut down one side.

Five items were missing, including an iPod, a mobile phone charger, a pair of sandals, an expensive lady shaver and a little case of gold jewellery.

While I understand the terms and conditions of airlines regarding placing

Dumbing down I WAS intrigued by your article (Issue 1414) which pointed out that British expats in Spain are frequently criticised for knowing little about their chosen new homeland.

In a British survey it revealed that many nationals living in the UK are clueless about their own country and particularly in the field of geography.

This should come as no surprise to anyone acquainted with current methods of teaching and the dumbing down of modern examinations.

While the Spanish state system focuses on using the memory, acquiring knowledge and regularly testing students, the UK system has moved towards verbal reasoning exams, questions with multiple choice answers and project work.

Reality of tips

IN regards to the ‘Loose Change’ article by Jane Plunkett in the finance section (Issue 1412), while it may be true many people are not sure how much to tip in restaurants and we all have to watch the pennies these days, www.euroweeklynews.com and that in some places staff may not depend on tips, on the Costa Blanca it is very different. Here many depend on their tips to make ends meet.

This is because while they are paid FURTHER to L Grinyer’s letter ‘Travel around the minimum wage - currently Alert’ (Issue 1414), I too had a similar €5.02 an hour - for a 40-hour week, in experience this year at Palma de many cases staff work anything up to 70 hours or more.

Britain’s broken pride

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT BRITISH BOBBY: Police force was once the envy of the world. surrounded by a gang of seven black youths in a local park. After terrorising the lad and stealing his biscuits, they accused him of being a racist. When he denied the accusation, they shot him three times with an air rifle and made him kiss their feet. The next day, riding in his dad’s car, Oliver recognised one of his attackers. Mr Pettman approached the young man

and insisted he accompany him to the police station.

The youth was questioned and subsequently released.

The next day Mr Pettman was asked to go to the station. When he arrived, he was arrested, had fingerprints and DNA taken and was locked up for SEVEN hours. Apparently the youth had (falsely) accused him of assaulting him with a hacksaw blade!

Finally released without charge, Mr Pettman said he was now taking steps to sell his ÂŁ800,000 home and move to Singapore, where he was opening new offices. Both his daughter and son were now too traumatised to even go out and this event had simply been the last straw.

None of the gang has been arrested and in a statement the police

declared they (the police) were simply ‘following procedures’. Can you blame this law-abiding gentleman for deciding to finally throw in the towel? Of course you can’t. The whole episode is a disgrace and perfectly described by Mr Pettman as the product of a ‘broken Britain’.

I dunno, sometimes I really do despair of it all.

Finally a funny.

A friend was telling me that some years ago they were staying at a Magaluf hotel on their first visit to Mallorca. The wife noticed a sign outside the restaurant which advised guests to ‘dress for dinner’.

That evening, suitably attired in long evening gown, abundant jewellery and boa, she swept into the dining area only to discover the other guests in shorts, T-shirts and flip-flops. The hotel had merely been requesting the residents to wear clothes. Lovely!

I WISH people would stop having a go at me for knocking the UK. I NEVER have a go at the auld country itself but at what some irresponsible and downright traitorous individuals are turning it into! The beautiful country of my birth prided itself on freedom of speech, patriotism, its low crime rate, wonderful NHS care and a police force that was the envy of the world.

But, since the Labour government decided to buy itself votes by inviting in all and sundry, Britain has been reduced to a land of crime, deteriorating health services, no-go areas, feral gangs of hooded yobs, foreign spongers and a warped sense of justice.

This last point was put in the spotlight this week by businessman Stuart Pettman.

Spain - The model of good practice?

H

UMAN rights groups have expressed outrage at recent ‘inhumane’ forced evacuations of Roma gypsies across France. Police raids left hundreds of Roma, including many children, homeless after caravans were impounded. Images of the dismantled camps and comparisons to former President Sarkozy’s Roma-crackdown two years ago have been a PR disaster for President Hollande.

Now, to be fair, for a long time the French seemed not unhappy about a huge camp of immigrants near Calais, Sangatte, as long as those immigrants were expected to move on - illegally into Britain.

But since I was the victim of a mugging by Roma travellers on the Paris metro, which left me sweating like a dodgy MP on expenses-check day, it’s difficult not to have a bit of sympathy for one of their claims. The Roma arrived en masse from Romania and Bulgaria, defying France’s right until 2014 to bar immigrants from the EU’s newer member states.

However, maybe France should be advised to look to Spain as the model for integration. Of the 10-12 million Roma living in Europe, Spain has the second biggest community, estimated at 970,000 – about 2 per cent of the total population. Only 5 per cent of gypsies live in makeshift camps, and about half are homeowners. Almost all have access to healthcare and at least 75 per cent are believed to have some sort of steady income.

Roma gypsies have melded into Spanish mainstream culture — flamenco dancing and traditional Spanish dress have both been borrowed.

Breaking Views NORA JOHNSON Nora, who has lived on the Costa del Sol for a number of years, is the author of psychological suspense and crime thrillers.

While many European countries regard their Roma communities as problems, Spain has embraced its own by giving them rights, celebrating their history and bringing them into the fold.

In the final analysis, there are two issues.

Firstly, the unrestricted movement of large numbers of people in a system that was designed for freedom of movement in a limited way so social cohesion could be maintained.

And, secondly, the so-called ‘inhumane’ treatment of a community regarded as ‘illegal immigrants’.

Whatever your views on their ‘inhumane’ treatment, the question as to how social cohesion can be maintained appears to be completely ignored.

There are some problems in society that just don’t have a solution. And deporting these people is not one – they’ll simply end up somewhere else – but I really can’t think of an answer either.

SOULLESS: Can’t airport designers better accommodate the weary traveller?

Spain’s bureaucracy is like a zoo’s reptile house IT is said that when you enter a hospital you leave your dignity outside; enter an airport and you often leave common sense there with it.

We have all endured airport stopovers, especially at night when many flights are curtailed so that nearairport dwellers get their shut-eye.

I particularly detest Madrid’s Barajas Airport terminals; soulless, they invented the term. The seats, if you can find one, are not worth the pursuit.

Footsore travellers, using their bags as pillows, kip down on the bare marble floors.

These unfortunates would be better considered if they found themselves in a refugee camp. Is it not beyond the bovine wit of airport interior designers to provide reasonable space for customers to rest?

Times were tough in Britain during the 1920s.

Mother told us that her mother’s policy was to padlock the cupboard if you were out of work.

It appears the spirit of grandma now hovers over Girona. City hall and supermarkets there and elsewhere are locking street bins to deter scavengers. This is to avoid the ‘humiliating’ scramble for food.

Frankly, I think locking these skips, many containing food that is wholesome, but past its sell-by date is humiliating. In Madrid,

foragers can be fined up to €750. Would it not be cheaper to give the poor buggers a little food?

Spain’s bureaucracy reminds one of a zoo’s reptile house; there is just the occasional lifting of an eyelid.

My friends often summer in Britain as do many others. I must concede that after six rainless months and temperatures stuck in the 30ºC plus region I am looking forward to heading north for a breather.

During the British Raj our forbears spent their summers high in the Himalayan foothills where the climate is similar to England’s.

I did ask my friends if there was anything else of Britain they missed.

They replied, yes, British bureaucracy and helpfulness is a dream compared with Spain’s overstaffed paper chase.

Politicians here are savvy enough to know that jettisoned jobsworths won’t vote for them if they are ditched.

Democracy does have its shortcomings.

30 August - 5 September 2012 Costa del Sol

www.euroweeklynews.com OF late, many people I have met have extolled the virtues of seizing the day, or to: “Live not one’s life as though one had a thousand years, but live each day as the last,” as Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antonius once said.

I am all for it - in theory - but first consider the consequences.

If today were my last day I would certainly not work, but would rush around like a mad person ensuring that my will was in order, that all proper goodbyes had been said. It would, in a word, be exhausting.

Still, I am sure the mantra doesn’t mean it quite so literally, so let’s now assume that we mean to enjoy each day to the ultimate not really knowing it were the last - as if you had a chance of piecing together the best day ever.

Paying scant regard to the kids’ inheritance, I would probably spend any saved euros on gathering all my friends together for a massive party, or rent a yacht for that final day, with Champagne on tap and James Blunt serenading me.

I would absolutely not bother with my greens for the day, but eat caviar and foie gras (sorry, goose!) and lashings of chocolate truffles. Bedtime would be some diffuse hour because you can sleep when you’re dead, right?

Carpe Diem The elementary flaw with Carpe Diem (a term conjured up by another Roman, Horace) is that for most of us, the next day actually doth cometh - and there will still be bills to pay, kids to be ferried to school and dishes to be washed. None of which are easily manoeuvred with the mother of all hangovers. An obvious omission for the Russian oligarchs who actually do live like this, but then they have probably seized more things than just the day.

And if you live each day like that, then surely it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy; without sport, salad or sleep, that final day will certainly come round a whole lot sooner. So what people actually mean when they say Carpe Diem, is more like: “Try to have a bit of fun during the daily humdrum, but don’t forget to exercise, eat well and brush your teeth and be sure to get a good night’s sleep. Oh, and achieve at least one important life goal each day between school pick-up and cooking the dinner.” But then, that doesn’t sound nearly as enticing, does it? More like jolly hard work.

Bear in mind that old Marcus allegedly popped his Roman clogs

at the hand of an assassin, according to the blockbuster movie Gladiator and popular folklore, which is not ideal.

Apart from the two Roman chaps, it took several centuries and nigh on two millennia for the next significant voice on the subject - Eckhart Tolle who contributed to the debate with his book, ‘The Power of Now’, jampacked with soul searching exercises to be done by the reader: all quite exhausting.

Instead, may I suggest a more appropriate Spanified version of the aphorism: “Seize mañana,” which happens to sit particularly well with my own procrastinating tendencies - never do today what you can put off until tomorrow. I knew I was Spanish at heart...

RECENTLY put the spotlight on the pernicious nature of television as a mindbending re-laxative. Sadly, the conventional Press hardly comes up smelling of roses either.

Successful people are often criticised. The venerable Bruce Forsyth, arguably Britain’s most popular entertainer, was often lampooned by the orchestrated media over his relationship with his then wife, Anthea Redfern.

His sin; he wanted privacy from Press intrusion.

The conventional Press never vigorously confronts government ministers with questions their readers are screaming for.

Wonderful candidates would be PM David Cameron or Foreign Secretary William Hague. Leading trade unionists doing their job are routinely demonised.

The latest to raise the ire of editorial is Rail, Maritime and Transport Union boss, Bob Crow. If you are a public figure this behaviour comes with the territory.

As US President Harry Truman said: “If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen.”

New York Tribune editor John Swinton, in 1893, addressed the New York Press Association: “There is no such thing as an independent Press, unless it is

in the country towns. If you express an honest opinion, you know beforehand it would

ASSANGE: Vilified for doing his job? never appear in print. If I should permit honest opinions to be printed in one issue of my newspaper, like Othello, before twenty-four hours, my occupation would be gone. The business of the New York

journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, and to fawn at the feet of Mammon. We are intellectual prostitutes.”

The onus really is on readers to keep an open mind and use

the internet to search for more balance. What is insidious is the Stalinist orchestration of major dailies on a single issue. They all sing to the same hymn sheet. A glaring example is coverage of the Pussy Trial in Moscow. Co-ordinated media coverage of the affair should alarm all of us.

Why does the media react in fury to a two-year sentence on three women, old enough to know better, for cavorting on the altar of one of Moscow’s most revered places of worship.

There they screamed blasphemies and obscenities.

Their supporters hacked down Christian crosses. One of those sentenced wore a tee-shirt carrying a Communist slogan.

What if these punks had behaved similarly in a British synagogue or mosque? These extreme feminists want football banned and describe footballers as sperm chasing seed. Why is the Palace Press championing them? That is worrying.

Their behaviour offended Christians, who in Russia take their religion seriously. It took them six months to apologise.

How odd that the media critical of the punks’ sentencing is the same media that is hostile to Julian Assange, who as an investigative journalist has been doing their jobs for them.

LOVE IN THE AIR: Office romance can start with a X.

It started with a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;kissâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (From left) Mar Vicedo, Bruno Filippone and Giancarlo Paparusso (both from Da Bruno) with a group of the models.

Luxury jewellery & fashion show hosted in Marbella A LUXURY jewellery and fashion show was hosted by Da Bruno Sul Mare in Marbella.

Jewellery designer Manuel Spinosa displayed his vast new collection of exclusive diamond rings while fashion designer Mar Vicedo presented her models

wearing her party and cocktail wear created to fit the female form perfectly.

Atelier Marbella Crea provided the accessories, music was provided by Frank Camelot and food by Da Bruno.

AN X at the end of an email or text has been found to have started more than half of office affairs.

Both men and women often wrongly assume that a message ending in an X is a come-on, when in fact a work colleague is merely being friendly.

Forty per cent of women and 10 per cent of men put Xs in emails to their boss, while 86 per cent say they mark mails to ordinary colleagues with a kiss, a

dating website WhatsYourPrice.com found in a poll of 1,000 British members on the significance of Xs in emails.

A quarter of men and 35 per cent of women said they had sent messages bearing kisses which had been wrongly seen as sexual by the recipient.

Sixty per cent of men and 55 per cent of women who had had an affair with a work colleague admitted it had been initially sparked

by Xs in messages.

Older fathers could raise risk of autism in children MEN wishing to become fathers later in life have been advised to consider freezing their sperm.

This comes after a study showed older men fathering children could raise the risk of autism and schizophrenia, and possibly dyslexia and low intelligence in their offspring.

Ninety-seven per cent of genetic mutations were caused by the age of the father, while the mother’s age had no

The child of a 40year-old father had two-and-a-half times as many potentially damaging mutations as that of a 20-year-old; 65 mutations

Mothers transmitted around 15, regardless of age.

This gap was found to increase with every

passing year.

The father’s age was “an extraordinarily important force in evolution,” said the study’s lead author Dr Kari Stefansson of decode, a leading genetics firm in Reykjavik.

“The number of mutations coming from the mother is constant, which makes sense as her eggs are formed before she is born, whereas men constantly generate sperm through to old age.

“The very important conclusion we can draw from this is that the concern focused on the increasing age of mothers is probably misplaced.

“They may be off the hook and men are on it, as disorders from these mutations are much more common than the risks associated with older mothers.”

Just joking WHEN the expensive printer in an office began to print black lines on every page, the manager called a repair shop where a friendly man informed him that the unit needed to be cleaned.

Because the store charged €100 for such cleanings, he said the manager might try reading the manual and doing the job himself.

Pleasantly surprised by his candour, the manager asked: “Does your boss know that you discourage business?”

“Actually, it’s my boss’s idea,” the employee replied. “We make more money when we let people try to fix things themselves first.”

Cast your net wide this week and be prepared to take advantage of a state of freedom. With high energy and an expansive mind, you are in a good position. Avoid being thrown out of kilter by activities around you. It may be difficult to make real progress at times

TWO SOPRANOS: Lynn Fisher and Maggie Blackaby provided some of the entertainment.

Enchanted evening

By Nicholas Pound AROUND €2,500 was raised at an enchanted evening of song and dance held at Parque Torre Leonaras in Benahavis on Saturday.

This money was split equally between Cudeca and Children with Cancer UK. About 250 people brought their own picnic hampers, drinks, seats and blankets and enjoyed ‘A Little Night

Music’ under the stars in the open-air amphitheatre located in the park’s gardens.

The charity evening was hosted by iTalk presenter, Maurice Boland, and entertainment provided by The Two Sopranos - Lynn Fisher and Maggie Blackaby - and students of The Marbella Dance School with choreography by the school’s principal, Caterina Schisesi.

People began arriving at 6.30pm to get a good spot on the grass to tuck into their homemade picnics of chicken pies, Thai fishcakes, empanadas and all kinds of salads washed down with lashings of Cava, beer and Tinto de Verano.

At 9pm the audience took their cushions through to the auditorium and the show began.

This was The Two Sopranos’ début public performance and they gave a varied repertoire of classical pieces and modern songs performed in the pop/opera crossover style reminiscent of groups like Il Divo and compared among coffee drinkers and nonAmici Forever. drinkers.

A new study contradicts this advice.

It was found that those who drank up to six or more cups a day were up to 40 per cent less likely to fall victim to bowel cancer.

Those that drank four cups saw their risk of a tumour drop by about 15 per cent.

Tea lovers on the other hand did not see any reduction in risk.

Some previous studies have hinted coffee could have a protective effect, but the findings were inconclusive.

Muffins for breakfast, lunch and dinner

By Bryan Rand JUST off the N340, on the slip road to the petrol station and next to Sunshine Golf in La Cala is the very popular café, Muffins which is owned and run by Liz and Lisa.

This café has developed into a haven for inexpensive, quality homemade food. The café is beautifully clean with seats inside and a few seats on an outside terrace that provide shelter from the summer sun.

The menu is extensive with a large range of snacks and the accent on family favourites.

The quality and price of the daily specials is, for me, an attraction and

the friendly welcome from the owners with the easy parking adds to the appeal of this establishment Muffins is open from 9 till 7 on weekdays, 9 till 3 on Saturdays, and on Fridays till late.

Friday night is a special night at Muffins with some special offers like Rib Eye steak which is served with all the trimmings and a half bottle of wine for just €10.

This great meal deal also offers the choice of Chicken or Fish. Also on offer is Half a Chicken or Steak and Ale pie for €8.95 or half a rack of BBQ Ribs for €7.95. This is in addition to the normal menu which

offers a large variety of dishes including salads, sandwiches and jacket potatoes. Drinks are also very reasonably priced and every week there is a special spirits offer.

Breakfasts at Muffins offer a great choice with a reasonably priced standard English breakfast.

Try the kippers, a dish not often seen on a café menu.

The food is great, the service friendly, the open kitchen gleams and the price is right.

ATTRACTIVE: There is plenty of seating inside and also on the shaded terrace.

Muffins opens Mondays to Thursdays from 9am to 7pm, on Fridays until late and on Saturdays until 3pm.

Chocolate is lethal for cats and dogs alike CHOCOLATE made for human consumption can cause death in cats and dogs as they are sensitive to a class of chemicals called methyl-xanthines.

Caffeine and theobromine are members of this family.

Our pets simply cannot metabolise and excrete methylxanthines as efficiently as humans. The half life of those compounds in the human body is in the order of two to three hours; in the dog it is more like 18 hours.

In a dog the compounds are taken up by the liver and transmitted via the bile into the intestine. They are then converted back into the original methyl-xanthines for another circuit through the animal. This repeats itself a number of times and instead of getting rid of the substances the animal will go through a cycle of poisoning itself.

There are many formulations of chocolate with varying amounts of caffeine and theobromine. The lethal dose of sweet milk chocolate for a dog is two ounces per kilogram of bodyweight. For a five kilogram dog this would be about 280 grams. A lethal dose of milk chocolate for a 25kilogram dog would be about 1.4 kilograms. Dark chocolate is at least 10 times as lethal. A 25-kilogram dog could die from the methyl-xanthines in just five ounces.

In my opinion it would be a tragic mistake to encourage a dog to develop a taste for chocolate.

A small dog left alone in a house with a box of chocolates might well follow its nose to the goodies and kill itself by poisoning, so be careful to keep any chocolate well out of reach.

Planting up your garden with hibiscus Why hibiscus?

THERE are four reasons why we have hibiscus in our garden and recommend them to others.

Firstly, there is a hibiscus for all situations in Spain, some of which should be more widely known.

Secondly, they are also fairly easy to raise from cuttings and in some cases from seeds if friends already have the plants.

Thirdly, their flowers are exotic and finally and somewhat interestingly, they can be eaten in salads.

The most hardy varieties - below zero The deciduous Hibiscus Syriacus varieties. The three white red throated shrubs in our garden are covered with flowers from June to September. They were grown from cuttings some 20 years ago.

Blue, purple and white species grace several public areas of our village.

The tree or spreading bush Hibiscus Mutibilis often called cotton rose as its flowers look like fluffy balls of white cotton that

start white and change to pink as they mature. Our two trees flower in September through to October.

Semi hardy varieties – withstand a few degrees of frost The elegant specimen flowered Hibiscus Coccineus a marsh/pond plant originally from what is now Florida and Georgia in the USA.

AUTUMN COLOUR: Velvet and pineapple sage.

We have plants – raised from our own collected seeds – on the shallow margins of our two ponds.

The single and double red flowered varieties of Hibiscus Rosa Sinsensis thought to have originally come from surrounding counties and islands in the Indian Ocean.

The more tender varieties The white, yellow, orange and pink flowered versions of Hibiscus Rosa Sinsensis. They are best used as annuals or planted in containers that can be moved to a green house during the winter months.

The flowers can be dried for the preparation of interesting infusions and when we visited the Botanical Gardens outside Havana Cuba we lunched on a hibiscus flower salad … yes with no other ingredients except for a light salad oil.

If you visit several garden centres you should be able to order for next spring.

Another group of plants that offer many planting possibilities are the sages or salvias. Worldwide there are more than 800 varieties, but many are not suitable for planting in Mediterranean gardens.

However two that would be worth planting up for autumn are the velvet sage or leucanthus and the pineapple sage elegans rutilans.

They are shown in our garden in the photograph. © Clodagh and Dick Handscombe www.gardeninginspain.co m August 2012

www.euroweeklynews.com INEVITABLY some problems or defects, large or small, will arise with a building.

When an owner suffers damage or hardship as a result of a structural defect then responsibility for the problem has to be attributed, but Spanish law is not always clear about just who is responsible for what and some clarification is needed.

The community of owners is responsible for ensuring that buildings and communal areas are kept in good order, as per article 10:1 of the Law of Horizontal Property which states: “The community will be obliged to carry out necessary work to the property and its services, ensuring proper maintenance and conservation, so that it fulfils all due structural, waterproofing, habitability and safety conditions.”

Having fulfilled its obligation of proper maintenance, the community may have the right to claim back the cost of such work from the developers or other professionals involved if they consider there has been a flaw in the original construction.

An individual owner is not obliged to personally sue developers, architects or the other professionals for defects

Costa del Sol

Who is responsible when structural defects occur?

with Pete Woodall, Woody's Los Boliches

to a building. Even if the defect affects just the one property, the community is responsible. Regardless of the number of dwellings involved it has to deal with the problem. If the community is unwilling to fulfil its obligation then the owner can take it to court and force the issue.

Community insurance will probably not cover structural damage. If an owner suffers for example, rainwater damage as a result of a badly constructed roof or a poorly finished façade then the community insurance may pick up the bill for damage done to

the inside of an apartment and other areas but almost certainly would not be interested in paying for the cost of the repair to the building. This cost would fall to the community who could then possibly make a claim on the developers or builders.

Spanish buildings with construction licences issued after May 6, 2000, will have an insurance which covers any problems arising through structural defects for up to 10 years. This 10-year insurance however only covers the major aspects of the building, such as foundations, beams, load-

bearing walls and any other structural elements concerned with the strength and stability of the building.

The rest of the defects, which unfortunately are the most common ones, are not covered and a community can not make an insurance claim for them. It can still make a claim directly to the developer or the other professionals involved in the construction as per Article 17 of the 1999 Spanish Law of Construction, but the claim must be made within a specific period of time to be valid.

Depending on the nature of the defect or problem, different time restrictions apply. This is complicated and probably best left to an experienced legal professional but the rule of sooner rather than later certainly applies.

A community is free to sue either just the developer, as the one responsible for the architects, builders and the other professionals, those

individual professionals themselves, or all and any of them.

Property developers do have contractual responsibilities when selling houses and buildings. If an owner has not received the build quality expected then they are free to make a claim for breach of contract. The legal period would be longer than that for a claim for structural defects but it would be first necessary to prove the defect did actually constitute a breach of contract.

During the property boom many unprofessional shortcuts were taken, rules bent and good practice ignored, obviously not in all cases but certainly enough for the structural defect problem to be more common than it should be.

As usual the lawyers at Intercala Administration strongly recommend you seek competent advice in all manners regarding the law.

SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public week-ends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference.

You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepe online.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) At SOS Animal Refuge we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desparately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 665 682 919 or 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about rehoming, please call 653 257 875.

A hybrid that gives Prius a run for its money F

ORD MOTOR COMPANY once again raises the hybrid fuel-economy bar with the all-new Ford C-MAX Hybrid, which is now officially EPA-certified at 47 mpg city, 47 mpg highway and 47 mpg combined – beating Toyota Prius v by up to 7 mpg.

Hybrids traditionally have been more economical in city driving than on the highway, unlike conventional vehicles. CMAX Hybrid is Ford’s first hybrid vehicle to offer 47 mpg across the board.

“The all-new C-MAX Hybrid is a great symbol of how Ford has transformed into a fuel-economy and technology leader with 47 mpg across the board and a highway rating 7 mpg better than Toyota Prius v,” said Ford Vice President of Powertrain Engineering Joe Bakaj. “We’ve done this with innovation – TRUE HYBRID: The Ford C-MAX Hybrid is certified at 47 mpg city, highway, and combined.

represented by nearly 500 hybrid patents – while driving costs down 30 per cent so we can bring these fuel-saving vehicles to more customers.”

C-MAX Hybrid is expected to be America’s most affordable hybrid utility vehicle with a base price of $25,995 (€20,726), including destination and delivery, which is $1,300 (€1,037) lower than Toyota Prius v.

As hybrid vehicle drivers traditionally saw superior fueleconomy figures in city driving, loyalists maximised their fuel economy through regenerative braking in stop-and-go traffic.

But now higher-speed innovations have caught up on efficiency.

The latest-generation SmartGauge® with EcoGuide is designed to help drivers get the most from the C-

MAX Hybrid, providing information such as instantaneous fuel economy to help them more closely monitor how their driving behaviour affects the vehicle’s efficiency.

The Brake Coach feature – part of SmartGauge – helps drivers optimise their use of the braking system so that driving range can be enhanced through proper braking techniques.

Redesigned imagery of green leaves shows overall driving efficiency – as drivers improve their efficient driving, they are rewarded with more leaves.

C-MAX Hybrid offers room for five people and plenty of cargo – making it perfect for the owner with an active lifestyle.

GAS POWER: The new Zafira Tourer model.

Opel powered by liquefied petroleum gas OPEL is extending its Zafira Tourer model portfolio with a new liquefied petroleum gas powered version, a 103 kW/140 hp, 1.4 LPG ecoFLEX turbo engine.

The powerhouse provides the same output and torque of 200 Nm (1,850 – 4,900 rpm) in both the cost efficient LPG and gasoline operation modes. With its new LPG offer, the Zafira Tourer shows that it is just as versatile in its powertrain variants as it is inside its cabin: the master of versatility offers all conventional propulsion types in its portfolio.

Opel is one of the very few carmakers in the segment of the seven-seater compact vans that offers gasoline, diesel, CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) ex works. In the LPG mode the Zafira Tourer

1.4 LPG Turbo ecoFLEX engine only consumes 8.6 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres, equivalent to 139g/CO2 (gasoline mode: 6.7 l/100 km, 156 g/km CO2). Compared to gasoline propulsion, the LPG mode is around 40 per cent cheaper.

In this manner, not only the costs at the petrol station but the CO2 emissions can be significantly decreased.

The entry level price for the Zafira Tourer 1.4 turbo LPG ecoFLEX starts at €27,050.

With the Zafira Tourer LPG, Opel is increasing its LPG fleet to nine models.

It is complementing the already existing broad offer of the brand which covers several vehicle lines: the Corsa (threeand five-door), the Meriva and Astra (five-door and Sports Tourer) plus the Insignia (four- and fivedoor sedan as well as Sports Tourer).

ALL-WHEEL: Jaguar introduces AWD to the 2013 Model Year XF and XJ ranges.

Low-grip conditions conquered

JAGUAR announced its introduction of All-Wheel Drive to the 2013 Model Year XF and XJ ranges.

In recognition of the AWD models’ arrival, winter was specially ‘transported’ to New York; media and celebrities being invited to escape the summer heat at an exclusive unveiling in a snow-dome constructed in Manhattan.

The AWD XF and XJ will be powered exclusively by Jaguar’s new 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine in 340PS form and will offer optimised traction in all grip conditions. Also featured is an eight-speed automatic transmission and stop/start technology.

The AWD models will be available in selected markets including North America, Russia, China and continental Europe.

Ian Hoban, Vehicle Line Director, Jaguar, said: “Our All-Wheel Drive system preserves all the dynamic qualities of our rear-wheel drive Jaguar saloons in terms of handling, steering quality and ride refinement while adding a new depth of ability in low-grip conditions.

The system delivers all the traction benefits you would expect, but the AWD XF and XJ are still very rewarding cars to drive - which was exactly our intention.”

Also the Reds won four FA Cups, three League Cups, the Champions League twice, the World Club Championship, the FIFA Club World Cup and the FA/Community Shield nine times.

Surprisingly, during this period United signed only three Spaniards - goalkeeper Ricardo (ex-Valladolid who made one

appearance in 2002-03, later with Atletico Madrid and Santander), ‘keeper David de Gea (2011-12) and defender Gerard Pique (2004-08), now with Barcelona.

Others, with a Spanish link, who starred for United, included David Beckham, Laurent Blanc, Gabriel Heinze, Michael Owen, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy (Real Madrid), Mark Hughes, Jordi Cruyff, Laurent Blanc (Barcelona), Quinton Fortune (Mallorca, Atletico Madrid) and Diego Forlan (Villarreal, Atletico Madrid).

Their success won them a place in Thursday’s draw, which will

determine who they are to play in the group stages of Europe’s greatest football tournament.

‘FERGIE’S’ FLOPS Ferguson’s bad buys (by the fans!): Forlan (£6.9m); Sebastien Veron (£28.1m); José Kleberson (United’s first Brazilian, £6.5m); Owen (despite scoring a late winner in the Manchester derby); DjembaDjemba (£3.5m); goalkeeper Massimo Tiabi (£4.5m – he missed so many crosses, he was dubbed ‘The Blind Venetian’); Blanc (aged 36); William Prunier (two outings); Ralph Milne (ex-Aberdeen); Liam Miller; Owen Hargreaves; David Bellion; David May; Cruyff and Bebe (a complete waste of £7.4m).
