Dutch submarine finds bodies at sea DISCOVERY has sparked renewed attempts to locate the missing migrants
Beach protection WORK has started in Puerto Banus to demolish four old, damaged breakwaters and rebuild them in an aim to protect Poniente beach. The job will require 7,385 tonnes of stone and is due to be finished by the end of the year, the Ministry of the Environment has announced.
Salaries owed SIX workers from the defunct CioMijas catering school have written to the president of Andalucia’s regional government, Susana Diaz, to ask her when they will be paid the 14
months salaries they are owed. They also asked her why CioMijas hasn’t been made part of the SAE Andalucian Employment Agency like other schools.
SEARCH AREA: Covers 100 square miles south-east of the Malaga coastline, according to Lifeguard Department sources. By Eleanor Hawkins SEARCHES resumed off the coasts of Malaga yesterday (Wednesday 11) after a Dutch military submarine alerted authorities to the presence of three bodies at sea on Tuesday. Although there has been no official confirmation that the bodies, of two
women and one man, belonged to victims of a dinghy which lost its bottom with 54 African migrants on board on October 28, the find has sparked renewed attempts to locate bodies out at sea. The search area, Lifeguard Department sources reported, covers 100 square miles south-east of the Malaga
coastline and the team included Helimer 203 helicopter, Salvamar Alnitak lifeboat and a Guardia Civil boat. Of the 54 people reported by survivors to have set off from Morocco on the dinghy, just 13 were found clinging to its remains in the early hours of the morning by lifeguards, and four bodies were found the following day.

Golden age Developed in music cafés SPANISH FLAMENCO: A Gypsy Dance in the Gardens of the Alcázar, by Alfred Dehodencq. By John Smith THE art of flamenco whilst initially appealing mainly within Spain has spread on a worldwide basis with regular concerts not just within Spain but in all of the major cities of the world. Every town in southern Spain in particular will have one or more serious concerts each year and this does not take into account the ‘flamenco shows’ offered in restaurants and bars which are perhaps not quite so proficient. Malaga boasts the Museo de Arte Flamenco de la Peña Juan Breva, which contains over 5,000 exhibits, hosts an annual exhibition and has regular perfor-

mances by local dancers and musicians. It runs until mid-December. The origins of flamenco are difficult to establish, although everything points to it having grown over a period of centuries within the Gitano and Roma population of Andalucia following the Inquisition. Flamenco is expressed threefold through the flamenco guitar, singing, and dancing and many of the performances recall the struggles and tribulations of the past. It is believed that it originally consisted of unaccompanied singing, then later the songs were accompanied by flamenco guitar, rhythmic hand clapping and feet stomping and dance.
The golden age of flamenco dancing is considered to be between 1869 and 1910. The music developed rapidly in music cafés called cafés cantantes, a new type of venue with ticketed public performances. Flamenco dancers also became the major public attraction in those cafés.

Volunteers needed for ‘Great Collection’ WITH under a month to go, Bancosol (the Costa del Sol food bank) is still looking for volunteers for the Gran Recogida (Great Collection) in Fuengirola, Mijas and Benalmadena.
Bancosol coordinator Manuel Alarcon called for organisations and individuals who wish to take part in the campaign to sign up by calling 952 179 679 or emailing
mrueda@bancosol.info. Volunteers are needed all over the Malaga Province as so far 4,100 people have signed up but between 4,500 and 5,000 are needed.
This year the Great Collection will have volunteers from all sorts of groups, charities, police forces, Boy Scouts, university students and religious groups, Alarcon said.
The collection will be held on November 27-28 at different shops and there will be three four-hour shifts with between two and four people manning the stands.
PEOPLE from Alora urged the Health Department to provide them with a second emergency doctor. Locals insist they need a 24 hour service with two doctors all week, as the centre now has an extended area, meaning the ambulance going out more, leaving the village with no emergency doctor.

Hole in the ground By Steve Walsh SINCE construction of Hotel Cruiser - the would-be first ever five-star hotel in Torremolinos, with a predicted budget of more than €120 million - fell through in 2009, before work had even started, there has been an enormous hole left behind, which for six years been an unsafe, unhealthy scar, prompting residents’ complaints and political arguments. Now, the council and the company that owns the land have finally agreed to get rid of the hole. Work has already started and will continue for six months, at which point the owner intends to sell the land.

Drugrunners caught A COMBINED operation named Asterix, by the Guardia Civil and Italian Carabinieri and Guarda de Finanza forces, has seen a drug-trafficking operation smashed in Spain. It was carried out in Malaga, Ceuta and various places in Italy and resulted in 12 arrests and the seizure of 1,110 kilos of hashish, two boats, seven cars, sat nav and satellite equipment, frequency inhibitors, €12,000 in cash and a large number of mobile phones. Six of those arrested were Spanish and the other six Italian and Moroccan. The operation began in 2014, with arrests in connection with the movement of drugs from Morocco, and the second stage of the operation caught up with more of the group while driving the drugs from Malaga to Italy.
Sevilla mother arrested A WOMAN has been arrested in Sevilla for allegedly taking photos of her daughters naked and selling them on the internet. In September, a 15-year-old girl and her mother’s ex went to a police station in the city to report the 41-year-old woman, claiming she had been forcing her three daughters, aged between seven and 15, and another girl to pose for erotic photos. In the beginning, the teenager told the police, her mother said they were for a modelling
agency which needed to see them in underwear and naked. Yet as time went by, the girl realised that her mother was selling them. When confronted, she allegedly told her daughters she needed money to feed them and it was the only way, and beat them with a stick if they refused to pose. The woman was arrested on October 15 for alleged child pornography and a restricting order issued to stop her approaching the children.

HATS OFF: Students at the Cordon Bleu school in Madrid.
Top opportunity for aspiring chefs CHANCE to take part in Cordon Bleu competition By Steve Walsh CATERING schools in the province will this year be able to take part in the fourth Premio Promesas by Le Cordon Bleu Madrid, a competition which offers winning students scholarships of between €7,000 and €21,000. The competition, which is quickly becoming one of the most important in the country, endorses the institution’s commitment to training aspiring chefs.
Andalucia, being one of the regions with the most participants opting for prizes, sees Rosario Barrios, head of Le Cordon Bleu Madrid, visiting catering schools in the region this week, specifically some in Malaga. The goal is to recognise talent and encourage the best young chefs in the country to pursue their careers, he said. “We know catering schools are full of passionate, brave young people, but we can only put our money on two of them, meaning selection processes get tougher every year.”
14 arrested as alleged criminal gang broken up A CRIMINAL gang allegedly responsible for the brutal murder of a 34-year-old American man in Mijas in May have been arrested by the Guardia Civil. Altogether, the police force reported, 14 Cuban and Colombian nationals have been detained during the operation and 13 of them are behind bars. The operation, which started in May, was carried out in Malaga, Madrid, Toledo and Guadalajara Province to disband a large criminal gang that worked on an international level stealing drugs from drug-
trafficking groups and using extreme violence. The Mijas death, the Guardia Civil explained was one example of this violence. After discovering the man’s body at a house in Mijas owned by the gang, investigators discovered that he had arranged to meet two men hours before his death to sell them some drugs. Yet he was unaware, the police reported, that they were members of the gang and had been watching him closely. After tricking him into going to the house, where his body was later found, to carry out the
transaction, gang members tied his hands behind his back and shot him three times. The suspects face charges of murder, drug trafficking, counterfeiting, illegal weapons’ possession and belonging to a criminal gang. During the operation 32 kilos of cocaine (valued at about €1.1 million), seven vehicles worth €120,000, €508,000 in counterfeit notes and €10,000 in cash were confiscated along with three guns, one equipped with a silencer, tracking and surveillance equipment and fake National Police uniforms and badges.

Men’s perceptions on the gender violence problem STUDY aimed to discover the A STUDY by Malaga Council on the perception of, and attitude men have towards gender violence, has revealed attitudes need to be changed. Equal Opportunities councillor Julio Andrade reported a total of 1,557 random men aged 16 and over took part. The study aimed to discover the attitudes, myths and beliefs men in the city have. According to the results, 47.8 per cent would get involved if they saw a friend abusing their partner. It also aimed to increase awareness of the different types of abuse and measure men’s involvement in fighting the problem. Between 76 and 84 per cent of those questioned identified the different types of violence or abuse women suffer: physical, psychological, social, fi-

is no such thing as financial abuse as they did not appreciate the negative effects lack of financial independence can have. It was considered that 61.3 per cent of women liked receiv-
ing flirtatious remarks. This, the study concludes, reveals a need to carry out measures against sexual abuse. Remarks, sexual abuse on the street and sexist advertising
are such an ingrained part of society that it is hard for people to identify them as a type of abuse, the study complains. Also, 69 per cent said sometimes woman falsely report someone for violence. The survey believes this is a false myth in Spain as the authorities report that just 0.01 per cent of cases reported are false. It was also said 65.5 per cent believe the same number of men suffer violence from women as women from men, which the study considers to be another false myth. Regarding nationality, 65.7 per cent said foreigners commit the most attacks. Yet the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality reported this is another false myth as in 2014, 68 per cent of men who killed their partners were Spanish.

Dedicated to making a difference Our Euro Women series is featuring women who have made a success of their lives in Spain. These outstanding ladies have been shattering glass ceilings whether in business, charity work or sports. Lyn thrives on knowing she has made a difference to other people’s lives. LYN ADAMS is a name synonymous with fundraising, having raised over tens of thousands of euros for various good causes and local charities over the years. Lyn, from El Chaparral, Torrevieja, started a keep fit group over 20 years ago called ‘Lyn’s Lively Ladies.’ Upon discovering the news that a close friend had been diagnosed with cancer Lyn gathered together her ‘lively ladies’ and, all adorned in fancy dress and clowns outfits, they hit the local bars shaking buckets and collecting whatever money the generous public were able to donate. When Lyn herself was diagnosed with breast cancer, the AECC cancer charity was there to offer help and support her. “They helped me tremendously so I continued the fundraising efforts for the AECC particularly.” With over €40,000 raised, Lyn took a step back and retired from her fundraising, but that decision didn’t last very long. Upon hearing of a young mother called Laura who was battling cancer and had been given a terminal diagnosis, Lyn and her husband Ken took it upon themselves to become actively involved again and began organising events and fundraisers to pay for alternative treatment to prolong Laura’s life and give her more time with her husband and four young children. “We did about eight events in six weeks and even got to

send her and her family to Benidorm for a break.” Thanks to the generous support of locals and businesses, Laura lived for another 18 months but sadly died five years ago. But knowing the family got longer together is all the drive and reward Lyn needs in keeping her efforts going, although she is very quick to say it is very much a team effort with husband Ken and it is a team effort that has proved very successful over the years. “Ken knows what he is do-

cross paths.” She said there is no better motivation than knowing they have made a
difference to other people’s lives. The efforts are quite an achievement considering she had never done any fundraising previously before moving to Spain. Lyn’s strength is clearly in her organisational skills and determination which has led her to pull off event after event. Sadly in this day and age they are fully transparent in everything they do and all monies that are collected and donated are logged and receipts given. The couple do not take a single cent in expenses, with their efforts in fact having personally cost them ‘a small fortune’ over the years in petrol, printing costs and time. Their latest efforts are now in the annual charity walk which this year is their fourth one in aid of Elche Children’s Home. In five years’ time, Lyn does not know where she’ll be. Maybe she and Ken will finally be able to sit back and retire as they had originally planned, but many charities will be hoping this won’t be the case and as Lyn admits, “I just can’t say no.”

Pregnant women to get the whooping cough vaccination MEASURE will be in place as of January 1 next year By Declan Scanlan ANDALUCIAN health delegate Aquilino Alonso has announced that as of January 1 2016, whooping cough vaccinations will be given to pregnant women in the region. He was dealing with a question on the subject by Esperañza Oña, a member of the regional parliament, who had condemned the Junta de Andalucia regional government for having ‘decided’ not to vaccinate pregnant women. She said that the recent death of a baby in Malaga could have been prevented if the vaccines had been in place. Alonso accused Oña of exploiting a health matter for political reasons, something, he said, the Junta would never do, and that his department had “always respected” the decisions adopted at the Inter-Regional Health Council and supported the central government on this matter.
JAB: Whooping cough vacine to be available for mums-to-be. He said there was an agreement for each region to evaluate its own needs and some regions did not vaccinate all
pregnant women as “there is a shortage of vaccinations on the market and they have to be given to those
who really need them.” Alonso explained that 26 per cent of children who had been vaccinated caught whooping cough anyway and insisted that the criteria followed until now was up to standard. He stated that following an evaluation, it had now been agreed to include the vaccination in the series given to pregnant women from January 1, 2016. The delegate made the announcement after Oña asked: “What more has to happen apart from the death of a baby girl to get vaccinations for women?” She maintained that there had been many more cases since 2010, which especially affected young babies. “Andalucia decided not to vaccinate pregnant women; if her mother had been vaccinated this baby wouldn’t have died,” Oña declared, emphasising the fact that seven Spanish regions have already decided to give the vaccinations

Dune recovery work nears completion PATHS are already open to the public By Eleanor Hawkins
No snooping ESTEPONA Council has announced that it has renewed a contract to provide Local Police with digital transmission services to improve communications and avoid outsiders listening in to conversations.
New board A NEW board of school heads and council members will be discussing educational needs in San Pedro de Alcantara on a regular basis from now on, the council has announced.
RECOVERY work on the ArtolaCabopino dunes is nearing completion and should be done by the end of November, a whole month ahead of plan. Final touches are being put to the parking areas and informative signs are being installed along the paths, which have already been opened to the public. The work on the site, which was declared a natural monument in 2003 by the Junta de Andalucia regional government, was awarded to Assignia Infraestructuras in April by the Ministry of the Environment, which gave the company eight months to complete the work. The project mainly involved creating a perimeter track which delimits more than 30 hectares of protected land and halts unauthorised access for vehicles and pedestrians. Five raised wooden walkways run from this track allowing sand to move freely underneath them.

Scratching car leads to big fine A RECENT judgement by a provincial court in Malaga has ordered a man to pay €496 in damages on top of a €200 fine after he was found guilty of scratching another man’s car. The original incident happened in a Marbella health centre car park earlier this year. The car owner parked his vehicle on March 16 when he was approached by the accused who told him that the car would have to be moved. The man is understood to make a living by directing cars into parking spaces and an argument started between him and the driver. The following day the driver parked in a different area but later saw the accused and another man beside his car and discovered it was scratched.

New roof finally over schoolchildren’s heads WORKERS are set to finish the task over the next few days NATIONAL POLICE: Suspect he died from blows.
By Eleanor Hawkins
JARDIN BOTANICO school in La Cala de Mijas has finally had work done to repair the gym roof, which had been leaking every time it rained, the council reported. Municipal technicians sent in to examine the roof reported that it had been faulty since it was built, meaning on the few occasions it rained leaks were quick to appear. The roof was one of the main subjects parents complained about, Education councillor Carmen Marquez explained, leading the council to decide to sort it out. Municipal workers were sent to the school to put a waterproof layer into place, a task they are due to finish over the next few days.
Police investigate death in Marbella
GYM ROOF: A waterproof layer has been put into place.
THE National Police force is investigating the circumstances of the death of a 50-year-old newsagent found in the doorway of his apartment block in Marbella just after midnight on Friday (November 6). The victim, of Spanish nationality, was found with signs of violence by a couple walking their dog at 12.20am. Although when the police and an ambulance arrived at the scene the man was still alive he died half an hour later in spite of attempts to stabilise him. Al-
though a post mortem examination will be needed to determine the cause of death, the police force’s criminal investigation team initially suspects he was attacked and died as a result of the blows. Latest information suggests there could be some connection between the man and his assailant although nothing concrete has yet been established but as the door to his house was open, it suggests the man may have been talking to his attacker (or attackers).
Technology paying for itself at Estepona council JOSE MARIA AYALA, the New Technologies councillor in Estepona has said the changeover to electronic administra-
tion at the Estepona Town Hall is going very well. She announced, “In less than a month, the internal systems
using the new technologies have already become general practice amongst employees, and more than 2,000 processes have been started using the new system.” The aim of the change, the councillor said, was to speed up and simplify all procedures. Although still in its first stage of implementation, the system currently works only within the town hall building, but within a few months it should be accessible for use by the public. Chores such as applying for building licences, padron certificates, opening licences for businesses etc will now be accessible online. The added bonus is along with speed and ease of use, the council aims to save more than €40,000 per year on photocopies and paper. “Currently the town hall uses 8.2 tonnes of paper per year, so,” Ayala said, “this system could save about 48 trees and avoid producing 10 tonnes of CO2.”

Boy with gun held for hurting mother TEENAGER said he found the weapon in the street MIJAS police have arrested a 14-year-old boy for allegedly acting violently towards his mother and possessing a gun. The boy’s mother initially reported to the National Police in Benalmadena (where the family had previously lived) that her son had been missing for two days. When he eventually appeared at home in the early hours of the morning, the woman called
the Guardia Civil, saying that he had insulted, threatened and pushed her after she told him off for staying away from home for so long. Although a patrol was immediately sent to the Mijas home, the boy had already left and searches were launched which tracked him down in Benalmadena hours later. The mother, the Guardia
Civil reported, handed over a gun she had found in the teenager ’s bedroom some days beforehand and hidden from him. When questioned, the boy reported that he had found the gun lying in the street. Investigations are under way to determine how he got his hands on the gun and whether it has been used in a crime.

Gibraltar enters the Brexit debate By John Smith IN a letter published on November 7 in the British magazine The Economist, Fabian
Picardo, Caretaker Chief Minister of Gibraltar, wrote the following; “Your special report on the debate about Britain leaving

David Cameron has been supportive of Gibraltar’s rights and as eager Europeans we back his bid to remain in a reformed, better, EU (Gibraltar had to win a case at the European Court of Human Rights to secure voting rights in the EU and we vote as part of the United Kingdom’s South West). “Access to the single market, especially for financial services, is critical to our economy just as it is for Britain. Hugely imperfect as it may be, the European Commission, which asks a lot of us in terms of regulation, has firmly challenged Madrid’s bid to squeeze our access to free movement of goods and services despite the fact that we provide jobs for 6,000

Man held for false reporting VIOLENT robbery was made up By Eleanor Hawkins A MAN has been arrested by the National Police in Malaga City for lodging a false report and misappropriation. The 28-year-old reported to the police that he had been robbed at knife-point by two men on a motorbike while on his way to pay back an €8,000 loan the band he managed had taken out. Although he claimed the robbers had stabbed him in the leg with a knife and stolen a rucksack containing the money, investigators discovered that he had made up the story after spending the cash himself and being unable to pay it back. He used a paper-knife to cut himself to give his story more credibility.

Getting closer to nature in town DISCOVERING plants and animals on the streets By Steve Walsh MARBELLA City Council is taking to the streets with a project that will bring the people of the town closer to their environment. Between the tarmac and the buildings there is a rich environmental heritage which the town hall wants locals and tourists to discover: plants and animal species that hide amongst the city streets. The council, along with local associations Marbella Activa and Marbella por sus
Arboles, has planned a series of talks by well-known specialists. These lessons will not be held in a classroom but on the streets along routes with explanation panels in Spanish and English, which will be extended as the project progresses. The first date was on Sunday, November 8, and included a walk through Parque de la Constitucion and Paseo de la Alameda. These points both have their signs and panels with general data already in place. The free talks are given by
people with different yet complementary profiles. Tourism expert Rafael de la Fuente spoke at Parque de la Constitucion of the importance of preserving natural heritage, and historian Ana Maria Mata explained the delights of the Paseo de la Alameda. Biologist Carmen Cruz concentrated on the diversity of local flora, while Antonio Figueredo from Marbella Activa and Juan Caracuel from SEO group spoke on the presence of birds in both urban spaces.
DILAPIDATED: Trapiche del Prado building in Marbella.
The home that never was THE well-known Marbelli Mateo Alvarez donated the magnificent Trapiche del Prado property and old sugar refinery to Marbella Town Hall in 1992, to allow construction of a public senior citizens’ home. Since then, nothing has been done, and the property is now in ruins. The dream of Alvarez was that the property donated to the council would be used as public facility to help, aid, and look after older people down on their luck. However, through successive council administrations, the idea appears to have been scrapped. Culture Councillor Gema Midon said the home was not part of her department’s plans. Yet she stressed the council’s interest in halting the deterioration that the
building has been suffering for more than two decades. To that effect, the Works Department was tasked to start working on it, although seemingly, due to the special characteristics of the building, it will now be specialist architects from a company that focuses on renovating historical buildings who will be in charge of reporting the state of the edifice and project costs. The regional government and Marbella Council signed an agreement to build the seniors’ home, which was to be completed by 2009, but the only work done was a ceremony to put the first stone into place, and a sign put up announcing a project that never happened.

Blood donor drive at the university CAMPAIGN will run throughout month of November

Testing, testing... TWO lanes of the Avenida del Sol in Benalmadena Costa, one in each direction, have been closed to traffic as a test to see whether they could be closed permanently to create a bike path and an extra 500 parking spaces, the council has announced. Although technical reports have stated that traffic wouldn’t be much affected by removal of the lanes, the council has decided a trial run was needed before permanent work begins. It has promised to reopen the lanes if traffic is affected.
units from the centre will be stopping off at the city’s 10 faculties to enable students, teachers and staff to donate. During last year’s campaign a total of 2,261 people gave blood, a figure the centre hopes to beat this year. Those who donated have already been informed via email and text mes-
sage of when the units will be visiting their faculty, and information campaigns are running on both Teatinos and El Ejido campuses to encourage newcomers to join in. Those wanting to give blood must be over the age of 18, weigh at least 50 kilos and be in general good health.

Renewing the water network will not only put an end to water losses, but avoid cuts to repair services in the future. Another added bonus was that electrical cables were put underground at the same time.

MOVING MEMORIAL: Hundreds of thousands visited the display at the Tower of London last year.
Display at Tower raises millions of pounds POPPY installation honoured the fallen THE major art installation ‘Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red’ at the Tower of London, marked 100 years since
the first full day of Britain’s involvement in the First World War. Created by artists Paul Cum-
mins and Tom Piper, 888,246 ceramic poppies progressively filled the Tower’s famous moat between July 17 and November 11 last year, with each poppy representing a British military fatality during that war. The poppies encircled the iconic landmark, creating not only a spectacular display visible from all around the Tower but also a location for personal reflection. The scale of the installation was intended to reflect the magnitude of such an important centenary and create a powerful visual commemoration. It attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world, making their way to view the installation which obviously changed on a daily basis. All of the poppies that made up the installation were then sold, raising millions of pounds, which were shared equally amongst six service charities.

Rain, wind, hail, snow and fire Extreme atmospheric phenomena are getting more common General weather conditions in Spain are changing As the climate has warmed globally, some types of extreme weather have become more frequent and severe in recent decades. Extreme heat, intense precipitation, and drought, are on the increase. Heatwaves are becoming longer and hotter. Heavier rainfall and flooding are more frequent. In a wide swing between extremes, drought is also more intense and more widespread. Small changes in the averages of many key climate variables can correspond to large changes in the weather. These changes are extremely difficult to predict and this weather variability can be extremely costly. Other atmospheric phenomena, such as hail, snow and fire, previously uncommon in regional climates such as the Mediterranean, are now becoming more common occurrences. That’s why it’s important to take out a quality home insurance policy.
With Linea Directa you are covered for damage by atmospheric phenomena As global climate conditions vary, Linea Directa adapts their home insurance policies to ensure that customers are covered for damage resulting from some types of extreme weather.

NEW LOOK: Wider pavements will be the most noticeable change to the street.
Works nearing completion THE council has said work may be finished by next week By Eleanor Hawkins WORK on Fuengirola’s busy Calle Doctor Galvez Ginachero has entered the final sprint and may be finished by next week, the council has announced. The street, in a popular tourist area between Avenida Ramon y Cajal and the seafront, has undergone a total renovation with work both underground to renew pipes, drainage and ca-
bles, and at surface level. The most noticeable change is to pavements which have been considerably widened. Although 24 companies competed to obtain the contract, originally put out to tender for a price of €393,193 and expected to be done in three months, it was awarded to Probisa who offered to do the work in 39 days for just €337,000, local Mayor Ana Mula explained during a visit to the site.
Clean up Benalmadena BENALMADENA’S cleaning councillor, Javier Marin, has called for responsible behaviour from all local people and for greater collaboration in order to keep the area clean and tidy. “Since we began our term in office, this council team has placed its hopes on a more sustainable Benalmadena and making it a nicer place to live and more attractive to tourists,” he said. He has asked for people to stop abandoning old furniture and other items in the street and explained that extra rubbish collections were
necessary in the summer months. “This summer it cost us €18,000 per month to clear up overflows from the bins,” Marin said and told locals that by putting litter into the bins provided more money can be spent on other things. Marin reminded people that the bylaws allow just two 80 litre bags of garden or pruning rubbish per person to be disposed of. “We fine anyone who doesn’t obey cleaning bylaws, and these fines can be heavy,” Marin warned.
Drainage works ALHAURIN DE LA TORRE Council is, in earnest, carrying out work to improve drainage in the town centre. Aqualauro reported last week that two jobs are underway to increase the efficiency of ‘evacuation of rain water ’ from two important points in particular: The Cortijos del Sol and Capel-
lania roundabout. Work should take about a month and consists of installing new 800mm diameter pipes and grilles, and connecting those pipes to the mains on Avenida de Malaga. This work should increase the volume of water movement by 400 per cent.
Electrickery ON Saturday November 7 an electrical fault at Primark in the Miramar centre in Fuengirola caused an evacuation . Lights flickered and alarms went off, then suddenly there was darkness, whereupon staff told everyone to leave the premises.

THERE are considerable downsides to running a business, especially in Spain. Notorious for its impractical employment laws and anti-business ethos; anyone whose business survives 12 months should be awarded the commercial equivalent of the Victoria Cross. One of the biggest handicaps in business is the difficulty encountered when one is tempted to fire useless staff. Customer and staff incentives are an essential component of successful businesses. Some of you, likely retired by now, will recall the Co-op shopping chain’s dividends. Later on there were Green Shield stamps. These were ‘cash or kind’ incentives for showing shop or brand loyalty. Although the returns were ludicrously small, such inducements worked like a dream. Because the retailer could rely on customer loyalty there was little need for offering in-store discounts. Best of all, the costs and the management of the scheme were added to the customer’s shop-
Staff incentives are an essential component of successful businesses
INDUCEMENT: Green Shield stamps worked like a dream. ping bill. The smarter-run companies apply the same principles to staff management. Reward for achievement is widespread in commission-only sales industries. Every salesperson knows that, in addition to their hard-earned sales commission, they will be rewarded by incentives. These can be considerable. I know direct sales companies that regularly send sales staff on exotic
holidays. The costs are built into the product’s price. This is not difficult when a bathroom a local tradesman could refurbish for £2,000 is direct-sold for five times that sum. The direct marketing company would also trouser a considerable financial bonus if the buyer could be swung on to a credit scheme.
Let’s say your company’s turnover is €100k per year. After you deduct the overheads there is little left for you to reward your staff; a Christmas dinner perhaps. Try this: offer a 5 per cent end-of-year staff bonus based on additional year-on-year turnover additional to the pre-scheme turnover. This incentive will keep staff hot as mustard, staff retention will improve, your turnover will substantially increase. Unless your profit margins are 5 per cent or less, you can only benefit. Best of all, you will spend less on advertising and can reduce special offers.

‘Just a bunch of prattling females!’ INSTEAD of adoring each other, its obvious they only truly adore their own egos LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT THIS WEEK, flicking through the daily mish mash of rubbish that now passes for daytime TV, I happened upon an edition of ‘Loose Women.’ The title, a rather pathetic attempt at a double entendre, rather sums up the quality of this whole pontificating presentation. Basically it is a bunch of prattling females, pretending to adore each other, when it is painfully obvious that the only things they truly adore are their own egos. On this occasion, the panel was discussing a recent fire. Finger hovering above the remote, I hesitated before moving on. ‘And so,’ shrilled the one in the middle. ‘We have invited a proper fireman to come on the show and discuss the problem.’ We were then treated to the sight of the fireman. Stripped to the waist, clad in helmet, shorts and boots and looking for the entire world like a ‘Village People’ reject,
LOOSE WOMEN: Ms Janet Street Porter doesn’t like touchy, feely men. the ‘guest,’ to a chorus of whoops and wolf whistles from the almost exclusively female audience, duly appeared on the set.
Ok Leapy, what’s your point? Women’s equality girls, that’s my point. Gooses and Ganders loves. If this had been a roomful of
men, and the guest a scantily clad nurse or police woman, arriving on prime time television to a roomful of baying men, the reaction from the Pankhurst brigade would probably have made tomorrows headlines. I know, from reading her column, that one of this panel, Ms Janet Street Porter is an almost maniacal women’s libber, who actually made the papers last week for recoiling in horror when another male guest, Olly Murs, attempted to kiss her on the cheek; stating she didn’t like ‘touchy and feely men.’ No I’m sorry girls; you simply can’t have it all ways. I’m afraid I’m one of the old school, who still thinks that the event of ‘the pill’ created a whole gender, totally confused and struggling to come to terms with a completely unnatural existence, that to my mind, nature certainly didn’t intend! Isn’t it odd, that nine out of 10 medical malpractices are committed by people with almost unpronounceable names? Funny that. Keep the faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

MALLORCAN pearls? I wash my hands of them... Colin Bird A weekly look Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-thewall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.
SOME days are great and everything is perfect. Others... well, my fervent wish is that I had stayed in bed. We recently returned from a week on the lovely island of Mallorca, which, amongst other things, is synonymous with a certain brand of high quality pearl jewellery. My wife is a fan and naturally a trip to the factory shop in Manacor was high on the princess’s priority list. We wandered around the premises for some time admiring their comprehensive collection. The flexible friend in my wallet was exhausted, our companions had expressed interest in taking a coffee break, and I had a desire to attend the little boy’s room. For convenience I had attached my camera to the belt on my shorts
CAFÉ BREAK: An amusing experience. before leaving home, but I had not taken this into account as I loosened my clothing, because as soon as I unbuttoned, the extra weight conveyed my shorts to the floor.
As I was pulling up my Primark’s best, the door opened revealing a man frozen in his tracks at the sight before him. The situation was made worse
by the fact that I was sporting my Flintstone underpants and the newc ome r was gr eet ed by but t ocks portraying a grinning Barney Rubble. In the haste to hike up my errant Bermudas, I banged my forehead forcibly on the urinal and in staggering backwards, inadvertently dis lodg ed m y Ray- Ban shades w hic h f el l wi t h a pl op i nt o t he aforementioned piece of porcelain be c a use, yup, t he dr ai n was blocked. Gingerly holding my dripping sunglasses and forcing a nonchalant whistle, I rinsed them under the hot tap, which predictably produced only cold water. My erstwhile companion in the meantime had scarpered without even bothering to wash his hands. I joined my good lady and our friends in the café, where I recounted my bathroom experience much to everyone’s amusement and as they laughed at my misfortune, a familiar but nervous looking ge nt l em an appr oached our ta ble and asked what we woul d like to order. “Just coffee, no food!” I whispered to the others.
It’s not a tall ‘storey’... FROM the bank’s perspective it’s heads I win, tails you lose Mike Walsh Mike, based in Mediterranean Spain, is an international journalist, author and professional writer.
HAVING twice carried the burden of a home mortgage and on several occasions rented, I am in no doubt as to which represents the best value for money. We fool ourselves that we own our homes. You miss a couple of mortgage payments and it will be made clear that you are a tenant and the bank is your landlord. I ditched the nonsense of placing a deposit, most likely borrowed, on my own home. The penny dropped, the bank was buying the property and I was renting it from the bank. The rent was flexible, in their favour, and there were charges attached. You don’t need a degree in commonsense to figure out where the inspiration for a mortgage came from. From any bank’s perspective, lending you money, which incidentally they don’t have either, is a licence to print real money lu-
HOME MORTGAGES: When we mess up, we pay and when the banks mess up, we pay.
RIP: Domestic violence.
Weekend of contrasts IT has been a real weekend of contrasts with regards to gender violence in Spain, with a mixture of both encouraging and depressing news over just two days. An estimated 20,000 people marched through the streets of Madrid on Saturday November 7, against gender violence and to highlight the fact that almost 1,400 victims have been killed by their current or former partners since 1995. In actual fact, despite the figures showing that on average one woman is killed every four days in Spain by a member of the opposite sex and despite the so-called ‘macho’ image of many Spanish men, the country comes low on the list of gender violence across Europe. Perhaps surprisingly, the worst offenders are Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Having seen the massive support for the protection of women on Saturday, there was a complete reversal on Sunday with four women being murdered by partners or relatives across Spain. A mother and daughter were shot by the daughter’s estranged partner; a 28-yearold woman was shot by her partner who then turned the gun on himself, and another woman was reported to have been stabbed to death by her son. Violence is endemic but we have to hope that if enough people protest and youngsters are properly educated that it will eventually become a thing of the past.
bricated by the sweat of your brow. Banks are not given to being charitable. In truth, the banks prefer us to be charitable. When we mess up, we pay and when they mess up, we pay. When you apply for a mortgage you jump through rings to acquire it. Such is their impudence the banks had the gall to draw up an application procedure that places all the risk of your investment on you. Like lemmings, so many rush into the bank. Thereupon, they bend over the bank manager’s desk and invite their backsides to be kicked. The bank manager’s shoes are polished as he takes such liberties. It is said that the dream of the older generation was to pay off a mortgage; the dream of the younger generation is to get one. Is this a dream or is it a nightmare?

Our leaders are responsible for taking the Great out of Britain Re: Why is Great Britain no longer great? LOVED what you had to say, Nora Johnson. My wife had to wait for six months for the treatment of her breast cancer here in Cornwall; it was a really horrendous time. Currently she is well and we are keeping our fingers crossed it stays that way. As for our so-called leaders/MPs who in the last 30 years or so have allowed what was once a truly great country to become what it is today, every one of them should in my mind be lined up against a wall and shot for treason. I would not trust one of them to put my dustbin out for collection let alone run our country. Only last week they were near on begging China to build us a power station. China? Are we unable to do anything on our own any more? Having in the past served in the Forces as a person who loved his country like no other, no way would I do such a thing now. I look forward to your next article. Go for it! Cannot wait to return to Mallorca; my wife and l love the local people, many of whom have become true friends.

Blame Blair Re: Why is Great Britain no longer great? THE country is an absolute shambles, and I blame Blair and his evil cronies for it all.

Breach of Constitution Re: Parliament in Catalonia opens with fresh calls for independence as political scandal continues WHEN the PP in 2010 went to the Constitutional Court and had elements overturned or watered down, they voided the social contract to which the Catalonian people had agreed.

Ban hunting Missile lie Re: Hunter dies after being gored by wild boar in Spain TO hunt for pleasure (not for food where there are more humane methods) is a sad reflection on man’s need to dominate other species. Sometimes animals are left injured as in this case. Studies reveal that animals excrete stress hormones when being hunted (deer/
Great, thanks for that, Mike IN fact, that ‘Russian-made missile’ you read about in every mainstream media source may not even be Russian-made; it could very well be Soviet-made. And the Dutch report they’re supposedly quoting doesn’t call it ‘Russian-made’. It’s a complete fiction, a lie. Mao (via website)
Ungodly ways Re: Gruesome discovery in Peru EVERYONE will quite rightly deplore this religion and its murder of children but adhere to their more modern brand. All religions have been invented over the millennia from worship of the wind and sun onwards. They produce priesthood and attract followers who accept that particular brand as the sole truth. I cannot see any difference between the Incas and any of the modern religions. The basic laws of Christianity for example are openly flouted by the hierarchy - Thou shalt not kill has become ‘except for religious wars’ - and religions still kill adherents of other religions. Why are churches full of ‘graven images’?
Re: Tribunal decides postman’s case ANOTHER reason we don’t get a good service in Spain from public services and Correos; no one that is a worker actually pays for their mistakes, it is always the company and the customer that pays for a poor service performed by employees.

Naming names Re: Legally Speaking, David Searl Edition 1580 WITH regard to the advice given to LK in Almeria, I am of the opinion that the president and other owners do have an option to see the names of all of the other owners as each one is responsible for what happens in their apartment even if it is rented to a third party. If noise is of a level that causes disturbance, then each affected owner has the right to sue the owner of the property who has let it to noisy tenants, and therefore these tenants would need to be identified.

Rate of store thefts in Spain among the highest in Europe A NEW report released on store thefts this week shows that Spain has the third highest rate of thefts in Europe and the sixth highest worldwide. The Global Retail Theft Barometer reported that only Finland and the Netherlands have a higher percentage of sales lost to theft in Europe. Spain, it concludes, lost almost €2.5 billion to theft which equates to 1.33 per cent of sales. Research firm The Smart Cube and retail company Checkpoint Systems were behind the survey, which interviewed over 200 retailers in 24 countries across the world. The average rate of losses due to shoplifting, fraud or errors in administration amounted to 1.23 per cent
across the world. Mexico had the highest rate at 1.68 per cent with Norway showing at the opposite end of the scale with 0.75 per cent. In Spain, retail crime and its prevention costs 2.21 per cent of store overheads, which is around €4.14 billion nationwide. However, the Interior Ministry has reported a 5.16 per cent drop between 2013 and 2014 with the Global Retail Theft Barometer showing a 1.36 per cent decrease in the percentage of revenue lost to theft in 2015. The most popular items of clothing and accessories which were stolen included shoes and handbags. Smartphones were among the most stolen items in electronics.

Auction for royal Ferraris cancelled FINANCE MINISTRY calls off sale after no acceptable bids received By Declan Scanlan AN auction for two Ferraris given to the former King of Spain, Juan Carlos, by UAE Prime Minister Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has been cancelled by the Finance Ministry after no acceptable bids were made. Only one offer was submitted and it was lower than the necessary opening bid. The asking price was a minimum of €695,000 for both cars and the Finance Ministry did not disclose the amount offered by the bidder. The government has not given an update on what will now happen to the cars or if they will be up for a future sale. The two Ferraris, both four seaters, one silver and

one black, are to stay in a government garage until further plans are made. The bidding was opened in October, with a five-day window for those interested to examine the cars. The only bid received by the Finance Ministry was opened on Friday. An appraisal done on the Ferraris reported that both had a silver dedicatory plaque, 20inch sports wheel rims complete with diamond-finish, interior leather rugs, a back seat entertainment centre and exterior cameras for parking. Last December King Felipe VI, Juan Carlos’s son and successor, told the Spanish royal family not to accept any more high-priced gifts “that could jeopardise the dignity of their institutional tasks.”

T FOR TWO All the answers begin with the letters T T 1. Founded in 1976 by Velupillai Prabhakaran, what was the byname of the guerrilla organisation that sought to establish an independent state, Eelam, in northern and eastern Sri Lanka? 2. By what stage name was the American singer and ukulele player, born Herbert Khaury, better known? He was most famous for his rendition of Tiptoe Through the Tulips sung in a distinctive high falsetto/vibrato voice? 3. Popular in the 1980s, which tight-fitting sleeveless shirt with wide shoulder straps and low neck and no front opening was often worn over a shirt or blouse? 4. Voiced by Canadian actor Don Mason, what was the name of the pilot of the highly sophisticated combat submarine Stingray, created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson? 5. What name is usually given to a sequence of words or sounds, typically of an alliterative kind, that are difficult to pronounce quickly and correctly, as for example ‘Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper’? 6. Which 16th century English composer was the organist of the Chapel Royal jointly with William Byrd? He served under Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth I and his works include the 40-part motet Spem in Alium? 7. Which American media mogul and philanthropist was married to actress Jane Fonda from 1991 to 2001? 8. Which English comedian and character actor starred as Major Hitchcock in both Private’s Progress (1956) and I’m All Right Jack (1959), Captain Romney Carlton-Ricketts in Blue Murder at St Trinian’s (1957) and Cadogan De Vere Carlton-Browne in Carlton-Browne of the F O (1959)? 9.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Get both business and personal plans sorted out in the coming week. Thereafter, changes to your routine may be necessary, which is disruptive. The best-laid plans can need adjustment, so don’t beat yourself up over that.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Keep energy levels high by being at the hub of any social activities. Accept all invitations, however dull you feel they may turn out and allow yourself to be surprised. Continue with any check-ups on your health, eating sensibly if you overindulged at the weekend.
Making a new start is not always the exciting thing that people imagine. When there are still old matters to be resolved, it takes the edge off the pleasure. It may be worth cooling off a new relationship until your social life is more settled.

Some customs in the USA drive me nuts Mike Senker
In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I’M currently on a trip to the USA and as much as I like visiting the country some of their customs drive me nuts! Like all this, ‘You have a nice day’, business which is usually said to everybody and is so insincere. Tipping! I don’t mind tipping but in the US it’s a crazy 20 per cent. And God help you if you go into a restaurant and try and leave less for whatever reason, like maybe the service was no good. You will get abused by the same angel that informed you on arrival her ‘name is Mary and she will be your server today’ and who then proceeds to not be very good at her job at all and the food wasn’t all that. Be prepared to be chased out of the place. I stay at one particular hotel. On arrival a man opens the cab door and I tip him. Someone else then helps me with
my case and I tip him. I go to reception, check in and go to my room. My luggage arrives and I tip the porter. Every day when I go to breakfast the waitress says to me, “Good morning, how are you today?” “Fine thanks,” I reply. She then asks, “and where are you from?” “Spain,” I reply. Day two it’s the same questions and same replies. Days three, four and five go pretty mu ch th e s a me . O n da y s ix I’ve ha d enough so I decide to expand on my answers and before she finishes her sentences she gets senkered! “Good morning and how.....” “Well, to tell you the truth I’m not all that today. “My legs ache as I have a very rare neurological condition, my kidney failure is still at stage three, the scars on my chest and legs also ache a bit because in th e n ig h t I took a drink a nd s ta rte d coughing and think I might have done s o meth in g... O h a nd by the w a y I haven’t moved - I still live in Spain!” The lady is now staring at me like I’m a raving lunatic and I wander off looking for my sugar free yoghurt. You all have nice day now!

OPINION & COMMENT
LEGALLY SPEAKING
Blue lights for all priority vehicles AS part of a new series, we answer some common driving questions, kindly provided by members of the Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.
NEW LAW: Flashing blue lights. FROM February 2016, all priority vehicles on Spain’s roads will display flashing blue lights. Currently, fire vehicles, ambulances and tow trucks indicate that they are priority vehicles by use of flashing orange lights, only the police and Guardia Civil use blue. Spain was the only European country which had not adopted the standard but a change to the law has been published this week, which will come into force early next year. Are you allowed to exceed the speed limit while overtaking? This can be a confusing question as the answer is both yes, and no. But, mostly no. According to Article 51 of the Reglamento General de Circulación, “the maximum fixed speeds for conventional roads which do not pass through urban areas may only be exceeded by up to 20 kilometres per hour by saloon cars and motorcycles whilst overtak-
ing other vehicles travelling at lesser speeds.” This clause first came about to allow cars to pass a slower moving vehicle in the shortest time possible, allowing an increase in speed in order to execute the move quickly. The word ‘execute’ being a reminder that overtaking is one of the most dangerous manoeuvres. In the event of a head-on collision, speed is added to that of the oncoming vehicle, so a crash where two vehicles are travelling at 90 kph is the equivalent of crashing at 180 kph, when the two speeds are combined. The rule does exist, but only in certain circumstances and it can only ever apply to cars and motorcycles. The clause is not permitted on motorways, dual carriageways or in towns, or cities. This means it can only be used on so-called conventional roads, single carriageway, with no central reservation and outside of towns.

Gibraltar remembers the dead at the British War Memorial CEREMONY led by Her Excellency Governor Alison MacMillan as the Queen’s representative
IN keeping with the UK and the rest of the Commonwealth and Overseas Territories, Gibraltar observed Remembrance Sunday on November 8 with the laying of poppy wreaths by various figures, including the Chief Minister at 12 noon (11am in the UK). Her Excellency Governor Alison MacMillan, as the Queen’s representative in Gibraltar, led the service and read the Bidding. This was followed by the observance of the traditional two minutes’ silence with the beginning and end of that part of the ceremony being announced across The Rock by a gun salute. Wreaths of poppies were laid following the playing of the Last Post and an inter-denominational service was held. The event ended

with the sounding of Reveille and the singing of the National Anthem. One regular attendee of the ceremony who was missing was Mr Momy Levy, Chairman of the Gibraltar Royal British Legion, who had been invited to attend Remembrance Sunday in the Mall, London, by the National Chair of the British Legion. Mr Levy is apparently planning to stay in London for a further week so that he can join the Jewish ex-servicemen and women for their annual march to the Cenotaph on November 15. Gibraltar also remembered those who lost their lives fighting for their countries on Armistice Day, November 11, when Deputy Mayor Kaiane Aldorino led the two minutes’ silence in the lobby of Parliament.

OPINION & COMMENT
Hamming it up over ban An inside story
Cassandra Nash A weekly look
POLITICAL harmony never comes amiss and witnessing the united front shown by the PP, PSOE, Cs and Podemos regarding Cataluña’s independence ambitions was encouraging. Unfortunately, they can agree to their hearts’ content but nothing the national politicians can come up with will deter Cataluña’s pro-independence faction. As last year’s referendum-that-wasn’t and September’s plebiscite-that-wasn’t demonstrated, the Catalans aren’t unanimously sold on independence. Politicians from outside the region won’t make a jot of difference. Only the 72 per cent of Catalans who would prefer to remain inside Spain rather than leave the European Union will do that.
- and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
THE Spanish are spitting feathers and chorizo over the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) blanket ban on cured and processed meat. Politicians of all hues and all ideological shapes and sizes have had little to say on the subject and who can wonder? With an election in just over six weeks not one has suggested measures that would leave a chorizo and ham-shaped hole in the much-praised Mediterranean diet. They need votes, not voters cheesed off with WHO-endorsed healthy living.
No regrets
CHORIZO/JAMON THREATENED: Outcry over ban on cured and processed meat.
UNLIKE Tony Blair, who recently came as close as he ever will to admitting that the Iraq invasion and occupation was a mistake, Jose Maria Aznar has no regrets. The former president took Spain into the war despite fierce public opposition and claimed not long ago that the country benefit-
ted from the conflict. Depends how you look at it: relatives and friends of the 193 people killed by 10 terrorist bombs on four Madrid commuter trains in March 2004 would probably disagree. Doubtless Spain’s police and intelligence services who have arrested 60 pro-ISIS
jihadists this year feel differently about it, too.
Rear-view mirror PSOE presidential candidate Pedro Sanchez can ignore the classic pantomime warning:
“He’s behind you!” because Cs leader Albert Rivera is catching up with him. A Metroscopia poll shows Cs currently scooping more votes but fewer seats than the PSOE and it’s not far-fetched to speculate that come December 20, Sanchez will be contemplating Rivera’s well-tailored back.

THIS week I was planning to write about the comparative differences between the philosophies of Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and Schopenhauer. Quite brief. Provocative. And thrilling. You’d have loved it. Trust me. I’m a journo … Never mind! But then something happened. My blood pressure started rising rapidly. Again. And not in a good way. After weeks of depressing news about Syria, refugees, Putin, Corbyn, population figures, plane crashes, who unexpectedly emerges from the woodwork? Yes. You’ve guessed: Tony Blair. And his mealy-mouthed declaration: “I’m ready for history’s judg-

ment.” In an interview with the US news channel CNN, the former PM admitted ‘mistakes’ and the conflict’s role in the rise of Islamic State but defended armed intervention in 2003. He apologised for the intelligence being wrong, ‘mistakes’ in planning and ‘mistakes’ in understanding what would happen after Saddam Hussein’s removal. Hang on there, Tony! Whilst you’re about it, what about all the other ‘mistakes’ you could apologise for apart from that ‘illegal’ war? How about some of the following: opening the doors to immigration; innumerable quangos; overpaid public servants; the PFI school/hospital programme; public spending (the national debt now exceeds £1.5 trillion). Let alone approval of Gordon Brown’s financial decisions as Chancellor that caused huge damage to the UK’s economy. But why is Blair making this statement now? And why to a US net-
work rather than British broadcasters or newspapers? Nicola Sturgeon, the Scottish First Minister, immediately accused him of conducting a ‘spin operation’ now that the long-awaited Chilcot Inquiry - expected to be highly critical - is due to be published. The war led to large-scale public protests and rebellions against Mr Blair and the Labour Party. Saddam Hussein was toppled but around 500,000 people were killed in warrelated deaths from 2003. Yes, Mr Blair. You’ll go down in history as having transformed the country. From something great and promising to something confused and poorer. Your premiership was all spin and bluster.

Copper Heelers give new lease of life to arthritis sufferers MANY people have suffered with arthritis over the years, finding no long-term solutions, turning to strong medication to try and ease the pain, and thus putting up with a lesser quality of life. Malcolm Landsman, who has studied magnetic and copper therapy for years, realised he may have hit on the solution to easing the joint pain so many people experience. Copper Heelers are a simple accessory placed inside the heel of the shoe that gives arthritis sufferers incredible results within weeks. This works by means of replacing the copper in the body that arthritis sufferers lack. We all need certain metallic elements in order to thrive and one key element is copper, it is an essential part of the minerals in the body. There are 250,000 sweat glands in feet alone, and so this is a prime area to absorb copper and utilise its healing properties. Copper also prevents inflammation around the

joints, so there is a feeling of well-being all round. Malcolm has been marketing Copper Heelers in Spain for more than five years now, and he has satisfied customers spreading the word about their change of life since using them. One lady from Las Siesta wrote to Malcolm to say: “I have suffered for 10 years with the agony of arthritis, but since I bought the Copper Heelers and wore them my arthritis has improved in only five days!� Another man approached Malcolm while he was working on his Sunday market stall in El Zoco and told him that since he had been wearing the Copper Heelers, he had been walking without his stick for the first time in years. This miracle insole has brought joy to many who have had restricted movement in the past.

Getting to the root cause of knee pain By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com KNEE PAIN – just one of those things that happen as you get older, right? Or because you’re a runner. Or a tennis player. Or a padel player. Or... just one of those things you learn to live with. Or is it? If you’ve got knee pain and you aren’t making progress, perhaps there’s more to it. The whole body Everything in the body is connected. And it should all work together as a team. If one part is out of balance then this can cause other parts to work harder, become lopsided; in other words, it can cause pain elsewhere. This is called referred pain and is a huge factor that is often ignored as we much prefer to treat the part that hurts, even if it isn’t working! This is why the first step in ANY treatment programme is a full, clinical assessment of the patient. Not just their knee but all the parts connected to the knee as well. Referred pain Earlier this month I had a gentleman come in
KNEE PAIN: Don’t suffer just because you’re getting older.
complaining of long-term (five+ years!!) pain in his knee. He’d had two rounds of surgery on the knee with no improvement. During my assessment, I found that he had an even longer history of lower back pain and hip pain. When he described the knee pain he talked about a ‘burning’ sensation. If you’ve read my previous articles about neural pain (now on my blog – www.TheBodyworksClinic.com/blog) you’ll know this is a huge red flashing light that we need to check what else is involved! So rather than focus on his knee, we focused on his back. I taught him a couple of little tricks and... he walked out with no knee pain. Me, his wife, their friend, we were all in tears at the transformation. All that time, pain and surgery, and no one had ever taken the time to listen to him or look at the connections. No one had ever done a thorough, clinical assessment. Great results You can get the best treatment in the world but if you aren’t treating the right area you won’t get a good result. Sometimes it is just that simple! For more information on knee pain and how to treat it please check out our blog – www.TheBodyworksClinic.com/blog, our Facebook page or call us on 952 883 151

Don’t waste your time counting the calories I DO not believe that there is anything more tedious than having to work out the calorie content of every single food item that you consume. However, I can relate to it, as I was guilty of doing just that through my teens. I knew absolutely nothing about how the body functioned. I can remember having a calorie counter book that was like a dictionary A-Z of every popular supermarket branded food in the country. What a bonus! Let’s say I am allowed 1,500 calories a day and I just have a hankering for Mars bars… there are around 260 calories in a Mars bar, I can eat four of them and still be under my calorie allowance, right? WRONG!
Ask The Doctor
lose weight as long as you are eating healthily and cutting down on treats. However, the defining factor of your body type, current weight and gender will determine how many calories you are likely to use up in any one training session. Any exercise class that promises that you will burn 800 calories per 45minute session is, I will boldly say, lying to you! OK, maybe if you happen to look like film star The Rock, then you could burn that amount of calories in an intense training session, but I know I could do the same class and only expect to burn around 360, maybe more if I’m lucky. But why fret over that? If you eat healthy food, aim for a minimum of three meals a day, cut out the junk and alcohol, you won’t need to worry about how many calories you are burning in class, you will see the physical changes and you will lose weight.

GOOD DIET: Calls for better monitoring of nutrition.
Malnutrition in cancer patients is a concern SPAIN’S Foundation for Excellence and Quality Oncology (ECO) has warned that between 25 and 85 per cent of cancer patients develop some degree of malnutrition which results in decreased survival rates and poorer quality of life. The ECO foundation said malnutrition is higher in patients with tumours in the head, neck, pancreas and digestive system. In Spain, for every million

I didn’t really replace my meals with four Mars bars but you get the idea. However, I did adopt this way of thinking. Of course, I never lost weight, and with this method of eating I was never going to look good, and to top it all off I became obsessed with food. Now, I know better. I have studied both the physical and mental side of dieting and exercise, read many books and tried many different eating and exercise plans. One thing I will share with you is that once I stopped obsessing about how many calories I was allowed to have and how many I was eating, and focused on building a fit, lean body with my exercise sessions… BINGO!!! I started to get the results. There is also the obsession of calorie burn relating to how many calories you are burning depending on what exercise you are doing. The truth is any exercise is going to help you to

inhabitants there are 4.5 cancer patients with malnutrition, 14 patients per million population in the UK suffering and 24 in Italy. As a result of this worrying situation, the ECO foundation is calling for action to improve the detection of these cases. In addition, it wants better monitoring of the nutritional status of patients who are suffering from cancer and going through treatment.
Dear Doctor, I am a 60-year-old, fit and active woman of average weight. I have had high blood pressure and irregular heartbeat for 10 years, which was perfectly controlled by medication until recently. A month ago I started feeling strange and found my blood pressure had jumped from 120/73 to 163/97. After a week it was still up so I went to the doctor and he upped my medication twice. Blood tests showed I had high cholesterol and my doctor decided it could be due to one of the medications I take and also suggested I might have hyperthyroidism. He has asked me to go on a no milk or dairy diet for three months to see if diet is my problem. I find this bewildering as for the last 20 years I have only eaten a healthy, low-fat diet with hardly any red meat and everything skimmed. He wants to see me again in two weeks to check my blood pressure. Although I trust him I would love a second opinion as I am worried that all these problems combined could be dangerous and I
might need extra medication now. I have been researching on the internet but end up going round in circles as all these things seem to be interconnected and complex. Dear patient, We have many things to take into account here. High blood pressure is a chronic problem which can sometimes, for various reasons, get out of control. It takes patience and gradual increases in medication to get it back under control. Diet is also important and salt should be avoided at all costs. You should be monitored by a doctor, preferably a specialist in Internal Medicine, and if in a few weeks your levels are not back under control further studies will be needed to rule out problems associated with high blood pressure. To determine whether you have thyroid problems we would need to do further tests and an ultrasound to decide whether you need medication now. Finally I would recommend that you do not trust anything you read on the internet as often information given is misleading.

Family dog can help prevent asthma
Hope for infertile men HOPES have been raised for infertile men as 12 sterile men have become fathers thanks to a scientific breakthrough. The technique used is called spermatid injection and involved immature sperm being injected directly into a woman’s egg. It is designed to help men in which sperm production stops halfway through, when the cells are still round and before they take on their distinctive tadpole shape. The technique was used in the 1990s with a handful of babies being born, but it was later banned over concerns that sperm used at such an
early stage could hold genetic abnormalities. These new babies born have all been deemed healthy without any mental or genetic problems. Researchers from the Institute for ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) in Fukuoka, Japan, said one of the reasons for their success was that modern technology now allowed them to be able to use the right cells allowing men who could not produce sperm use their own genetic make-up to produce children. Seventy-six men were treated in Japan, so with the babies born the treatment had a success rate of 16 per cent.
BABY’S BEST FRIEND: Having a pet dog can reduce asthma in children. dogs during the first year of life resulted in a 15 per cent lower likelihood of childhood asthma, while living close to farm ani-
mals cut the risk by 52 per cent. The research was possible as Sweden has an organised system of national databases which
scientists have access to and in the country all visits to specialist physicians and every prescription is recorded.
Forget the beer-belly, beer is better for you than you might think IT is the news many beerlovers will have been waiting for; the drink is healthier than you think. A new campaign claims that beer is less fattening than many people think as it has fewer calories than other alcoholic drinks, is naturally low in sugar and contains zero fat. Experts also say when consumed in moderation, it can protect against heart disease. The campaign ‘There’s a Beer For That’ has been organised by the British Beer Alliance and reveals numerous myths about the nutritional value of beer. One in 10 people incorrectly think a half a pint of beer has more calories than a glass of wine, but it has just 91 compared to 141 calories in an average 175ml glass of wine. A study showed that a quarter of people think beer

THE change of season is usually accompanied by an overwhelming desire to change or renew our look. So what are the hot hair trends for autumn and winter? In terms of colour, top stylists say platinum, almost ice white, and grey are on-trend. Ice white can be hard to achieve and maintain so take advice from your colourist; and grey, long since only seen in older women, is now attracting a younger following with celebrities like Nicole Richie and Pink! already embracing the trend. Not sure between blonde or brunette? ‘Bronde’ is the key word in salons right now, with warm golden tints and touches of honey and copper complementing autumn shades. Looking to go younger? Try a fringe which will instantly overhaul your look. Whether it’s a sharp blunt one, or longer, softer style, or a side-sweeping fringe, there is a style to suit most people.
CHILDREN who live around animals could see their risk of having asthma reduced. A study has found that having a pet dog reduces a child’s risk of asthma by 15 per cent and regular contact with farm animals can halve it. The findings support previous suggestions that living in too clean an environment in early life can actually make children more susceptible to allergies and conditions like asthma as they have not been exposed to microbes early in life that help the immune system develop. For the study, researchers looked at more than one million children born between 2001 and 2010 in Sweden where dog and farm animal ownership has to be registered by law. They found being around

has more sugar than coke but the campaign shows that a can of coke can have 34 grams of sugar, while a pint of beer of 4 per cent alcohol, has just 2.5 grams. A pint also has less sugar than a tall frappuccino, which has around 35 grams of sugar on average. A study by Italy’s Fondazione di Ricerca e Cura also found that a pint a day reduces the risk of heart disease or stroke by a third, compared to abstaining from drinking.
The study’s authors said they were hoping to dispel the
myth of the beer-belly, declaring there was no evidence to support it as all beer is produced from four natural ingredients: hops, water, yeast and malted cereal, such as barley or wheat.

SPECSAVERS OPTICAS: Will be offering free eye tests to help raise awareness.
FUN AND GAMES: The parents and children raised €953.50 for the charity.
Children raising funds FANCY dress party and BBQ was held for PADS PARENTS and children of the Benalmadena International College had a fantastic day at their Fancy Dress Halloween and BBQ afternoon on Thursday, October 29, which was held at the school. Apart from the fun and games enjoyed by all, a wonderful accomplishment was realised as they managed to raise €953.50 for PADS animal shelter.
World Diabetes Day November 14 SPECSAVERS set to put vision loss into focus ON November 14, World Diabetes Day, all Specsavers Opticas stores will be offering free eye tests to raise awareness of the importance of regular examinations in detecting non-eye related conditions such as diabetes and providing information about the link between diabetes and the eyes. According to the World Health Organisation, a pproxima te ly 9 per cent of t he world’s adult population has diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy is an important cause of blindness, and occurs as a result of longte rm a c c umula te d da ma g e t o t he sm al l blood vessels in the retina. If early symptoms of diabetes are left undetected or not managed effectively, diabetic retinopathy can lead to blindness. One per cent of global blindness can be attributed to diabetes. However, if diabetic retinopathy is detected early and treated, blindness can be prevented in 90 per cent of cases. Amrik Sappal store director at Specsavers in Fuengirola says: ‘Eye exams do more than just test your vision. By examining the
back of your eyes an optometrist can detect eye diseases such as cataracts and glaucoma. They will sometimes spot signs of other conditions, such as diabetes, and refer you to a specialist. In addition to free eye tests, Specsavers Opticas stores work with their local diabetes associations to help provide free diabetes screening and information, so look out for your nearest screening events for World Diabetes Day.’ Sufferers of diabetes can remain undiagnosed for up to 10 years, meaning it is not unusual for people to be already suffering f r om com pl i cat i ons when i t i s f i r st diagnosed. In fact an eye test at Specsavers can be the first indicator of the disease that directs the person to a specialist for testing. There are Specsavers stores in Marbella and Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol. For more information or to book an eye examination at your nearest Specsavers visit: www.specsavers.es

Heating made more stylish AS winter draws near, you can get cosy with Neater Heaters NOW in their sixth year of trading, Neater Heater are still being asked the same questions: What makes Neater Heaters special? Why should you choose them over other electric heaters? The simple answer is: design and build quality. Many families throughout the Costa Blanca are already enjoying the soft warmth given off by these cleverly designed and unobtrusive Norwegian heaters. A good discreet central heating system has never been so affordable. As Richard and Tony explain: “The basic choices for heating your home are either a full central heating system with water-filled radiators and pipes, or gas heaters, or electric. Or a combination. Obviously with central heating the main obstacle is the high installation cost. Also, there is quite a high ongoing maintenance cost. Gas estufas are effective, but quite unhealthy, and give off a huge amount of vapour which causes black mould. This brings us to electric. Until we started Neater Heater the options were awful. You either bought Jell-filled heaters that were as expensive as a central heating system to

buy, or cheap - but mostly inefficient - heaters that would make your electric meter wheel spin like a helicopter. There was nothing affordable, economical and effective available in Spain. We know, believe us, we looked.” But sometimes in life luck plays a strange hand. It was while Tony was looking for a heater for his son’s bedroom that, quite by chance, he saw a heater in a house he was doing some work in and it fit the bill perfectly. It was a neat and efficient wall-mounted Norwegian convector heater. It could be used as an individual room heater, or as part of an integrated system. The rest, as they say, is history and six
years down the road he, and Richard, are making Neater Heaters available to us all. They can be wall-mounted or if you are limited for wall space additional feet can be purchased to enable them to be freestanding. With our online shop, where you can view and purchase our heaters, and with phone facilities for credit card payment, bank transfer and PayPal, now purchasing these fantastic heaters couldn’t be easier. Neater Heater also has a network of agents offering local sales and support from Moraira in the North, down to Almeria/Costa del Sol in the south.
Now is a good time to take cuttings ROOTS will soon grow whether replanted in the open ground or in pots Dick Handscombe
Gardening Corner By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.
AFTER the recent wet spell and with continuing temperatures in the 20s, now is a good time to take and plant cuttings.
•
Rose cuttings Roses are easily propagated from cuttings in Spain. Take a cutting of 40 to 70 centimetres
long, trim off the base at a budding point, trim off any side shoots, trim the top at a bud or group of existing
leaves, cut a tight slit in the base and slide in one or two dry sweetcorn seeds tying these in with raffia if they won’t stay in place. Then make a deep slit in good soil with a spade and fill it with water. Then when the water drains away dip the end of the cutting in rooting powder and slide into the slit pushing it in so that 70 per cent is below the soil level. Finally fill in the slit with potting compost tapping it down as you do so. • Succulents Just cut off branches from the base or stem and plant directly in the garden or in pots in a gritty compost/soil mix. It is preferable to let the open base dry out for a couple a days before planting. • Bulbs Clumps of bulbs like Tulbaghia, Irises, Clivias, Crocosmias, Agapanthus, Hemerocallis, Canna Lillies and Fressias can all be split and replanted and should flower next year.
• Shrubs A cutting from any side branch has a good chance of rooting and flowering even next year whether planted in deep pots or directly into the ground. • Climbing shrubs These can be propagated from cuttings or by burying the end of hanging branches into the soil for six to 12 months. Indeed if you look you may find rooted ends exist already. • Herbaceous plants Rootballs split off from clumping and spreading perennials like Salvias, Gazanias, Heliopsis, Leonotis, Strelitzias soon produce new flowering clumps, and with all cuttings inexpensive new plants. • Ground cover plants Most ground cover plants spread by putting down roots from spreading branches. New plants are easy to obtain by digging up a rooted end and cutting it off from the parent plant.

Canine friends TRAINED dogs are happier and their owners are too
David THE Dogman Listen to David on TRE every Saturday 10am to 11am Costa del Sol (Gibraltar/Sotogrande) 98.7fm (San Roque to Calahonda) 91.9fm (Calahonda to Motril) 88.9, Costa Calida 92.7fm Costa Blanca (Torrevieja to Elche) 105.1fm (Elche to Calpe) 88.2fm, (Calpe to Gandia & Ibiza) 104.6fm, (Denia to Valencia) 95.3fm Mallorca 103.9fm
DOGS want to be trained and there is so much proof that trained dogs, and their owners, are happier than untrained ones. Great satisfaction can be derived from training a dog. It is not time consuming and most training can be done whilst exercising the dog. If you do not have time to exercise your dog then you should not have one. Training classes undoubtedly contribute to better training of dogs. One great advantage is that they accustom the dog to meeting others. Many people are regarded as experts when they have trained a dog of one breed to a very high standard. Faced with a difficult dog they would not know where to start. Training methods vary just as much as dogs and their owners do. There are however, many accepted exercises that form a useful basis for most dogs and most owners. Many people do not fully realise their responsibilities and try very hard to comply and end up with a dog that will bite, cause a road accident, etc. Why? Because few owners understand canine mentality.
HIGH INTELLIGENCE: Dogs are intelligent and training them is rewarding. Owners must not regard dogs as almost human as this is an insult to our canine friend. In this day and age we still do not know how dogs do some things, such as detecting mines and drugs. Intelligence is not an important factor in a dog’s make up. It is a fact that nearly all problem dogs are very intelligent and certainly a fact that few dog owners understand their instincts. Dogs and indeed all animals learn by association of ideas, they do not reason at all, but simply react to what is happening and do not think about what has happened or is
about to happen. It is believed that sometimes they work out a problem for themselves. All training should be based on this. For training purpose we try to create associations we want and avoid those we do not want, by what is known as correction and reward. Correction means any act which forces the dog to obey, like pushing him into the sit position. A dog will accept a human substitute for a canine leader and this willingness to accept a human makes him easier to train than most other animals.

How to treat your little furry animals NOT all pets are dogs or cats, many of us have smaller furry friends such as hamsters, gerbils, mice or chinchillas, most of which have specific needs when it comes to looking after them. Over the next couple of weeks we will take a look at their basic needs and the little things that make their ‘little furry’ lives happy. Chinchillas: One of the larger of this group, and the furriest. They need quite a big indoor enclosure or large cage because they are very active. Needing lots of exercise, it’s a good idea to have different levels for them to climb and jump from. They also need an array of interesting toys so they don’t get bored, the toys don’t have to be elaborate, cardboard toilet rolls and boxes that they can hide in and chew on are ideal. Wooden seesaws, shelters, and ramps and hammocks are also favourites. Make feeding time a ‘fun time.’ Scatter some food around the cage and hide some in tubes, so they have
an adventure hunting for treasure. Keep some toys stored aside for different weeks. Saving boredom, this helps keep the toys interesting. Some don’ts! Don’t let your chinchilla have any plastic toys. Apart from the toxicity problems, these can splinter and be very harmful if eaten. If they like to, or rather insist on chewing wood, let them chew on branches made from softwoods, such as untreated apple or pear, not furniture. Ideally, give them a gnawing block to help wear their teeth down. Chinchillas love a daily dust bath. It keeps their coat in good condition. Without it, their fur becomes matted. Make sure the dust bath is large enough for them to roll in. Fill it with sand to a depth of at least 6cm. Don’t let them stay in the bath forever. Limit it to 10 minutes or so, once a day. If you leave it for longer, they may view it as a toilet and leave you a present. Excessive dust bathing can also cause eye problems.
Having a pet makes a person happier UK RETAILER Pets At Home has released The Pet Report 2015, a survey of 2,438 animal owners to find out more about how pets fit into our lives and have compiled the five main reasons why people own pets. Comfort is the main reason with people saying that owning a pet can be a calming and reassuring experience. Many people also like to have an animal in the home because they find pets aesthetically pleasing. Professor Lance Workman, a psychologist from the University of South Wales,
gave details on the third reason: “They are a valuable means of social interaction – if you have a pet, people are more likely to talk to you in public, and past research has revealed more than half of the British public think dog owners are friendlier than non-dog owners.” Security was also important and the last reason people mentioned was that pets convey a status symbol. The research pointed to greater chances of happiness for those that keep a pet during childhood, in particular for children who have a dog.
Out of the people who had owned both a cat and a dog, 65 per cent said that dogs had made them happier overall, and 54 per cent believed that dogs had brought them the most happiness. Another interesting finding is that children younger than five are being given responsibility for the daily maintenance of pets. The day to day care of a pet in the teenage years is said to be much less common. “I firmly believe that pets provide an invaluable taster for adult life,” Professor Workman said in summary.

ADANA THE ANIMAL SHELTER IN ESTEPONA. We always need volunteers to walk and socialise with our dogs and help with cleaning. We also need good homes for our animals that you can see on www.adana.es. Kennels open every day 10-1.30, Camino de Casares, near Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona.

We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-charity.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. (93320) 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@sepeonline.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 desperately 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 605 227 155.

A turbo engine for motorbikes AS if a 600cc model wasn’t quick enough already, Suzuki has been busy developing a turbo-powered bike engine. The engine, (no bike, just the engine) was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show. Suzuki say it is a turbocharged eight-valve DOHC parallel-twin, and that it is production-ready. The project, and what bike it will be installed in, are still a secret. Officially, the only thing they would say was ‘turbo engine for motorcycles,’ and not a word more. MCN’s Richard Newland believes it may well be used in the ‘Recursion concept bike’. For more information visit: www.motorcyclenews .com.

2002 – M2: The legend lives on
ICONIC: BMW 2002 Turbo.
A CAR that stirs envy in all BMW fans By Steve Walsh NEARLY 45 years after the launch of the legendary 2002 Turbo, it has grasped the status of Automotive Icon. The leap in engineering taken by BMW, as well as their foresight in creating such an awesome car has set its place in more ways than one, as what BMW heritage stands for. The 2002 Turbo is the car that stirs envy in all BMW fans. The countless touches that make the car so unique, from the bulged fender arches to the mirrored air dam script, not to mention the outstanding performance for its time, sets the 2002 Turbo apart from any other BMW ever built… Or does it? Can the spirit of such a car be improved? A car that straddles the boundary between comfort and practicality versus mindless fun? Yes, it can! That compact high-performance BMW sports car that was already causing heads to turn and hearts to flutter over
LATEST INCARNATION: M2 carries on the heritage that BMW stands for. 40 years ago, has been reincarnated for today’s roads. Indeed, the BMW 2002 turbo perfectly encapsulated BMW’s resolution to deliver outstanding dynamics, exceptional agility and optimum car control, as it does today with the unveiling of BMW’s new M2.
With its high-performance six-cylinder in-line engine, rear-wheel-drive agility, lightweight aluminium M Sport suspension and extrovert styling, the new BMW M2 Coupe has all the ingredients to stand beside its ancestor, and deliver the last word in driving pleasure.
Design A single glance is all it takes to pick the new M2 Coupe out as a member of the M family, with its ‘in your face’ styling. Inspired by models from BMW motor racing, the new M2 Coupe makes no secret of its performance potential. The low front apron with large air
intakes, muscular flanks with characteristic M gills, 19-inch aluminium wheels in familiar M double-spoke design and low, wide rear with M-specific twin-tailpipe exhaust system, all play impressive roles. Performance figures The newly-developed, threelitre six-cylinder in-line engine in the M2 deploys cuttingedge M TwinPower Turbo technology to develop 370bhp at 6,500rpm and still returns around 33mpg. And in so doing, it lays down a marker in the high-performance compact sports car segment. The same applies to power delivery. Peak torque of 343lbft can be increased to as much as 369lb-ft in short bursts with ‘overboost’. All of which enables the new M2 Coupe with optional seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission and Launch Control to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) in just 4.3 seconds. However, top speed is electronically limited to 250km/h (155mph).
