By Jay Emeny RYANAIR has published a full list of the flights it is axing over the next six weeks after admitting it had “messed up” pilots’ holidays. On Friday the airline announced it would be cancelling 2,024 flights, between 40 and 50 daily. Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary said in a press conference that the situation was a “mess” but said that anyone who is “entitled to compensation will receive compensation.” It is estimated that up to 400,000 people and 285,000 journeys are likely to be affected. They are reportedly to be offered alternative flights or refunds, most within a day of their planned departure, but losses incurred when cancelling car or hotel bookings will not be covered. But the budget airline still faces paying out €20 million to outraged customers. Mr O’Leary said: “We made a mess and Ryanair holds our hands up when we make a mess. “I’d like to apologise and say sorry for the short notice due to not having stand by crews. “Ryanair is not short of pilots -

Further misery forecast THE travel disruption that has hit Spain shows no sign of letting up. It comes after French trade unions called fresh strikes to protest against new labour reforms. Disruption to air, sea, and ground transportation are to be expected, with a knock-on effect in Spain. The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office warned, “On September 21 and 23, French unions have called for protests and strike action across France. “This could cause disruption and delays to transport services including rail networks and some maritime ports. You should allow extra time for your journey and check your operator’s website.”

SPANISH FACTS OF LIFE...30 When summer draws to a close and most of the high season festivities have ended, residents of Barcelona come together for one last giant knees-up as La Merce gets underway.

Festival fever! DEDICATED to Mare de Deu de la Merce, the patron saint of Barcelona, the celebration lasts for four days from tomorrow (Friday) until next Monday and is jam-packed with events spread across the city. Barcelona has celebrated La Merce in some form or another since 1687, when legend claimed the Virgin of La Merce helped to rid the city of a plague of locusts, but the festival didn’t become an official celebration until 1902. From concerts to traditional dancing, theatre performances to spectacular light shows, and even an eco-friendly funfair for children, it is impossible to attend everything on offer during La Merce, however there are several main attractions that should not be missed.

INFERNAL FLAMES: During La Merce.

Speak of the devil

Hold on tight!

THE Correfoc (fire run) takes place at dusk, where one of the main roads (normally Via Laietana) is closed off and then opened to The Devils, a select group of locals who dress-up and behave like deviants.

ONE of the more breathtaking spectacles to take place during the festivities is the Castell - a variation on a human pyramid but with all the participants standing. The groups of Castellers aim to build human towers that can reach up to 10 levels high. A child is then tasked with climbing to the very top to add the finishing touch. These competitions are held throughout Cataluña during La Merce but the main Barcelona event is held in the Plaça de Jaume.

Giant jamboree THE parade of giants is popular among adults and children alike. Barcelona locals promenade huge effigies of kings, queens and other nobles through the city streets. The procession is usually accompanied by bands of musicians so the Giants can march and dance to the beat of their drums. The groups of impressive statues are brought in from all the different neighbourhoods in the city and those who accompany them are usually dressed in matching costumes as well.

Malaga City Council is now in talks to modify the route aircraft use when approaching Malaga so that glider pilots can resume their hobby without jeopardising air safety.

The events are reported to have taken place around 9.30pm last Thursday. The policeman suffered several cuts to the arms and the chest but the wounds were not serious. The accused is now in custody.

Starlite sparks mayhem CONTROVERSY over the future of the Starlite festival sparked a political slanging match in Marbella. The future of the festival, which has achieved great success in recent years and attracted revellers and artists from across the world, has been left hanging in the balance since the licence for the Nagüeles quarry venue expired this year. Furious business owners have claimed the festival is allowed to open as a nightclub until 6am when similar establishments are forced to close at 3am. Residents have also complained to the council about the noise levels and the number of people wandering the streets. Council official Felix Romero said that the city hall is striving to make Starlight an attraction in Marbella for another 10 years because of the enormous financial benefit it brings.

It comes as more than 3,000 people have signed a petition entitled No More Junk Tourism on the website Change.org. The accompanying text demands the city council to protect the opulent marina from ‘national and foreign spectacles.’ Local business owners told Spanish media that Puerto Banus has become an area in decline and speculated that there are two sides to Marbella, luxury tourism and alcoholic tourism. City Hall has received more than 700 complaints which recently lead to the British-owned Sisu Boutique Hotel losing its music licence for breaching noise regulations. The complaints made were not just because of noise from music at night, but also drunk tourists spilling out of the premises throughout the en-

Hurricane devastation AS many islands in the Caribbean try to recover from the devastation caused by Hurricane Irma, they have barely had time to breathe before Hurricane Maria arrived. The island of Barbuda which is part of the independent state of Antigua has been inhabited for 300 years but is now deserted with properties literally blown away and every single inhabitant dispossessed and evacuated to Antigua which escaped relatively lightly. The first island to be hit by Maria was Dominica, like Antigua a former British colony and there has been considerable damage in the capital Roseau with the hurricane now due to roughly follow the trail of Irma as it moves inextricably towards the USA. A number of islands are still vulnerable and a Royal Navy vessel is delivering relief supplies to a number of the British Overseas Territories in the area including Anguilla, British Virgin Islands, Montserrat and Turks and Caicos Islands but when compared to the actions of other countries, it is suggested that this is very little, very late.

DISAPPOINTED: Mayor Franco in the centre. AFTER Spanish Foreign Minister, Alfonso Dastis visited La Linea at the weekend Mayor José Franco issued a sombre statement. Clearly affected by the results of the visit and by the unexpected lack of support from certain other towns in the Campo, he said “We are not going to sit still or wait for a tsunami of 20 metres to come: we will do what we have to do. “Maybe we will go down in history as the group that did not manage to resolve this, but not as accomplices of another 1969. We will fight until the end. I will not allow it or tolerate it. It will be over my dead body!” Flanked by supporters from the council, the mayor said that he has asked the Spanish Foreign Office (AAEE) for details of all

the steps that the government of Spain has undertaken in respect of Brexit related to Gibraltar since June 12, 2016, when a meeting was held which was attended by the Junta de Andalucia and the Commonwealth of Municipalities of the Campo de Gibraltar. He also told the ministry that this commonwealth does not represent the best interests of La Linea or the town council which he leads as the town needs the lifeline of jobs in Gibraltar. In a long statement which he said was not in any way trying to score points against other political parties he made it clear that he believed La Linea was once again “a victim of State policies.”

11 held after shootings POLICE have arrested 11 suspects and confiscated 1,200 kilos of hashish after a series of shootings injured six people in Marbella. Investigators made the arrests while probing the circumstances surrounding the two shoot-outs but said in a statement that they are not related. The first shooting took place outside the Casa Masa nightclub on Sunday September 10 and four people were injured. It is alleged that the shooting started after a fight between two groups of French and Belgian origin. Seven people were ar-

rested following the incident. The second episode occurred last Saturday inside a house in the Lomas del Virrey urbanisation. This time two people were seriously injured and taken to hospital, with one being admitted to the Intensive Care Unit with a shot to the chest. Local media sources indicate that the men were shot because of a drug deal that went wrong. The house is reported to have been a ‘drug nursery’ where the hashish was stored. Police have held four people in relation to this shooting but the investigation remains open.

Fighting fire with fire MALAGA City’s fire brigade has responded to criticism that it failed to respond quickly when alerted to a blaze that engulfed a recycling plant. The fire forced authorities to close off the MA-23 road to Malaga airport due to the large column of smoke which engulfed the area. This left hundreds of travellers stranded and forced a nearby rent-a-car company to evacuate 60 vehicles. City Security councillor, Mario Cortes, condemned the department, which is currently on partial strike, by claiming it did not fulfil the minimum level of service required in the circumstances. The firefighters hit back at the criticism in a statement released by the strike committee which claimed that the city hall is trying to “discredit and criminalise” their protest. The statement also condemned the activation of the official emergency plan despite the fact that the commissioner had informed the emergency board that the situation was under control. The blaze at the Recisur recycling plant was the third to take place at the site in the past four years, yet this has been the first time that the emergency plan was activated. The fire brigade claims that sufficient men were on duty to tackle the blaze and that it was unnecessary to call in extra help from other municipalities. The committee claimed that the council only did so to draw negative attention to the strike. The firefighters concluded their statement by asking the council to seek ways to end the dispute instead of attempting to manipulate public opinion.

Not digging it By Sean Campbell A LEFT-WING group has criticised the newly-installed council in Marbella after a protected area was decimated. Izquierda Unida (IU) are unhappy with the staff which the city hall have employed to clear the dunes at Cabopino and Calahonda, citing a lack of experience and planning. The opposition party highlighted the use of heavy machinery used to devastate some parts of the area, which they claim was employed with no thought for endangered or native species.

A WOMAN accused of creating a bogus audio message warning of terrorists in Malaga has been held by police. The 42-year-old was detained for public disorder after she broadcasted the message through WhatsApp last Friday. The message warned that two suspected jihadist terrorists were in Malaga and quoted information from an alleged police investigation at a hotel where the narrator was employed. After the audio was broadcast through WhatsApp, it quickly gained traction on social media networks and caused panic among civilians. It also provoked the police investigation, who arrested the woman responsible for spreading the fake news as soon as they discovered that the information was in false.

Rescue at sea

Drought danger escalates

Skipper saved by local club

THE water levels in Malaga Province’s reservoirs continue to drop despite recent rainfall. The area’s dams currently stand at an average 38 per cent of capacity, which is the lowest they have been since they exited the drought danger zone in February 2009. Not all the reservoirs in the region create cause for concern, as the Conception reservoir near Marbella is 67 per cent full. But this poses a sharp contrast to the situation in Axarquia, where reserves have dropped to 25 per cent. After comparing these figures to those of the last drought, when water levels showed similar figures at this point in the year, farmers in the Guadalhorce and the Axarquia regions have joined together to demand that the authorities put emergency measures in place. The Junta de Andalucia has organised a meeting with the water board shortly.

The man was trying to take refuge from the storm when the ship ran aground at the entrance to the docks by the pier.

GRAND OPENING: The mayor and the council president enjoy the new works.

Walk this way By Sean Campbell A NEW section of Malaga Province’s coastal path is complete as part of a €1 million investment. Estepona Council has confirmed that work on a section of the Senda Litoral (the 23-kilometre coastal path running from Nerja to just beyond Estepona) between housing estates on Hacienda and La Chimenea beaches has finished. The new 310-metre stretch was funded by Malaga Provincial Council, costing €353,000, and includes a bridge over the Arroyo de la Cañas, lighting, shrubs and trees. It connects more than three kilometres of promenade. The mayor of Estepona, Jose Maria Garcia Ur-

bano, and the President of the provincial council, Elias Bendodo visited the site and confirmed that the next investments will be €167,362 to connect El Roquero and Punta Doncella as well as a €245,000 section in Punta de la Plata which will eliminate obstacles and enable visitors to travel directly from the marina to El Angel. Bendodo also added that there are two pending projects for footbridges in Arroyo Vaquero and Guadalobon. Mr Urbano was delighted with the works, he said: “It is more of a tourist attraction now because you can walk, cycle or run on the path whilst seeing the coast from a perspective that was previously impossible.”

Train project off the rails THE Spanish government is only planning to invest €750,000 in the Cercanias train connection to Marbella between 2017 and 2018. The sum, which will be allocated to studying the proposed infrastructure, has already been dismissed by the PSOE opposition party deputy for Marbella, Miguel Angel Heredia, who believes that the amount is insufficient for a project valued at “at least a billion euros.” The train link, which will eventually extend the Costa del Sol services to Marbella, was guaranteed by the Minister of Development during a visit to Malaga in 2012. But five years later, progress has stalled. The deputy urged new mayor Angeles Muñoz to pressure the government into spending more money on the

Marbella train link, pointing out that Marbella is the only city in Spain with a population of more than 100,000 inhabitants that does not have these services. The slow development of the project has been attributed to low funding for the Malaga 2017 State budget, which was announced earlier this year at around €138 million, some 40 per cent less than the region received last year. While funding is limited for projects on the Costa del Sol, the national government has just this month announced a €2 billion investment to improve the rail connections in the Valencia region, and work on a high speed train connection between Valencia and Barcelona has been scheduled to start in 2019.

By Kat Ashton A TRADE UNION has revealed that there is a lack of ambulances and medical staff on the Costa del Sol. Last Tuesday, members from the Federation of Citizen Services of the CCOO Union in Malaga Province criticised the poor quality of regional ambulance services during a press conference. The lack of services has allegedly led to worse conditions for the workers, an extension in waiting times and a decrease in the quality of the vehicles. Only 11 ambulances are currently in active service in the Costa del Sol, which seems low considering the number of inhabitants in the region, particularly during peak tourist months when numbers are said to triple. The union leader stated that nine more ambulances should be provided for the area which would require ‘at least 36 more workers.’ Francisco Aranda, the

Brexit update Pellicer & Heredia were kindly invited by campaign group BREXPATS IN SPAIN to join the meeting with the British Consul to talk about the one topic on everyone’s mind since the referendum on June 23, 2016: BREXIT. By Richard Hill IT was a very interesting meeting at the British Consulate between the Brexpats in Spain Valencia representatives Richard Hill and his assistant Helen, the Consul Sarah-Jane Morris and Brexpats’ Valencia legal advisor Ignacio Pellicer from Pellicer & Heredia Abogados. The official line is that the UK government wishes for things to remain ‘as is’ for expats who move to Spain before we exit the EU. The UK will continue to export and update the UK state pension within the EU, the EHIC card will still be available and medical care arranged via the S1 form. Citizenship needs to be explained. Nobody is a citizen of Europe except by treaty which of course the UK is resigning from. Many of us understand that while Britain allows dual nationality with

Spain it is not reciprocated by Spain to the UK, however it is not that simple. Unlike many other countries if you choose to take Spanish citizenship then Spain does not require any proof that you have renounced your UK one. The UK allows both so technically you can keep both passports. The Spanish may also be thinking of removing the need for Spanish language and cultural exams to obtain citizenship in Spain for over 65’s or reduce the standard. Passports are still an unknown quantity. We don’t know yet whether or not new UK passports will be phased in but there is nothing definite so again more on this later. Freedom of travel within Europe is again at the moment unresolved. For those in receipt of civil service, government or local government pensions including armed services reciprocal taxation is a very sore subject

especially if you don’t now have voting rights in the UK. According to the consul: “It is still the government’s intention to remove the 15 year rule for voting.” For those who choose to take citizenship it would be interesting in that you could then vote both in Spain and the UK! The Consul is going to look into pet passports with the UK government. While the Consul was of course unable to comment, Ignacio put forward the potential legal standpoint that on leaving the EU unless a new agreement was made with the UK it would not be part of the European pet passport scheme. Pellicer & Heredia’s aim is to keep the expat community up to date with the legal consequences on Brexit, and the team will continue to keep you informed on fut ure changes.

Approval of compulsory community work Community Law Corner By JosĂŠ Luis Navarro Solicitor for Intercala Administration

joseluis@intercala.com www.intercala.com

with Pete Woodall, Woodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Los Boliches

MANY owners will be aware there are still many community water and sewage systems that are either, non-existent or inadequate and that town halls are ordering communities and urbanisations to

modernise their infrastructure and to do away with the old private water wells and septic tanks etc which are no longer acceptable. The Law of Horizontal Property (LHP) clearly explains in Article 10.1,a). When any community is ordered by their town hall, the Junta de Andalucia or the National Government etc to carry out such work, to call a general meeting of owners and obtaining a vote of approval is not compulsory. However, taking into consideration the often high cost and the complexity of such projects it would be hard for communities to avoid holding such a general meeting, to at least clarify the situation with the other owners. Although, in certain situations, there are government grants available for improvement to infrastructure, generally speaking when a community is ordered to undertake this kind of work they will have to first collect

the money to pay for it. It would be very rare to find a community with sufficient reserves to fund a project without asking owners to contribute in the form of an extra community fee. Agreeing the extra community fee would usually be the first step and that requires the other ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval. Regardless of what the LHP says in the Article 10.1,a) a community cannot request payment of an extra a fee that has not been approved at a general meeting by a simple majority. The owners would not only need to approve the amount but more importantly, the date it has to be paid by. Apart from approval of the extra fees, there are often technical aspects to consider. Usually the second step, especially with sewerage and water pipes etc is to consult with owners on the best routes and which houses could be connected where and how.

Each situation comes with advantages and disadvantages, but again regardless of Article 10.1,a), but obviously in conjunction with their architects and according to the relevant regulations, it is the owners who should probably decide this. The third step is to decide on the contractor. Different contractors will offer various terms, conditions, payment possibilities, quality guarantees and prices. These contracts can be complex and should be studied very carefully. Although the president is the only one who can sign the contract, the community should still make or defer this decision to a committee. In reality it will be difficult to next to impossible to discuss all the options and conditions with the contractors at a large general meeting. Practically speaking a common solution is to appoint a committee of just a few owners who are empowered by the community to

make the decision on their behalf and then the committee will appoint the contractor they feel would best serve the communities interest. Each situation is different. Even though the Spanish law does not specifically require a general meeting, in real terms, it is clear from the above that in order to undertake this work some basic agreement and approval at a general meeting is unavoidable. The most logical interpretation of Article 10.l,a) is, owners or their appointed committee can decide, how much to pay, when to pay and who will undertake the work but they cannot decide against doing the work, as it is considered to be compulsory and non-compliance is not an option. As usual, we the solicitors for Intercala administration advise our reader to seek competent advice in all matters concerning the law in Spain.

Malta tax haven in the spotlight. The European ‘Panama’? THE EIC, or European Investigative Collaborations network, have recently launched a campaign - The Malta Files - to denounce how the Mediterranean state works as a pirate base for tax avoidance inside the EU. Over the last three months, EIC network has dug into hundreds of thousands of documents that show how Malta operates a tax system where companies pay the lowest tax on profits in the EU. Spanish newspaper El Mundo is now after such companies for they deem that when carrying out their activities, a very high proportion of them do cross the red line separating lawful tax optimisation with illegal tax evasion and concealment. Although moving to Malta for tax reasons is not illegal per se, some companies set up their main offices in the tiny island without having any infrastructure, staff, resources or economic substance to pursue their activities, thereby openly defying business logic and principles: such companies are typically only after hard tax avoidance.

Other companies do go as far as opening lavish offices with real staff, computers etc. with a different mission: to approach residents of Spain or with homes in Spain offering them attractive Spanish inheritance tax avoidance schemes, often through offshore structures involving single life insurance policies and/or trusts where funds are held. One example: one well-known financial planning company headquartered in Malta is operated by three staff, they hardly have any local clientele. Conversely, it has a staggering 25 employees and four offices in

Spain, where most their clients come from. This company offers what they deem Maltese tax sheltered trusts to residents of Spain. Besides the fact that the very name ‘tax shelter’ already signals trouble ahead, it is an accepted fact that trusts are not recognised in Spain. The Spanish Tax Office ‘AEAT,’ in several tax rulings (30/10/2008, 14/1/2010 and 14/5/2010), has simplified this discussion by disregarding the existence of trusts -in observance of Spanish laws - thus considering that the transactions carried out through trusts are made directly between the settlor/s and the beneficiary/ies - even in cases where the trustees had certain discretionary powers to allocate or distribute the assets held by the trusts to the beneficiaries. Furthermore, life insurance beneficiaries will be subject to Spanish IHT provided they are Spanish tax residents or where not, if the policy was taken out with a foreign company operating in Spain, which is typically the case.

“Schhh... You Know Who” A WAR has broken out between Coca Cola and Japanese drinks manufacturer Suntory over the import of millions of bottles of Schweppes tonic water from Britain to Spain. Schweppes Spain, owned by Suntory has taken action against companies selling British made Schweppes tonic water and a major importer. So heated has the argument become that the main court in Barcelona has had to submit the matter to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) the EU’s highest court for an opinion before making a ruling. Coca Cola owns the rights to produce Schweppes tonic water and other drinks in the UK and a number of other countries as does Suntory, but with the growth in popularity of gin and tonic across Europe, one Spanish distributor in particular decided that more money could be made by importing the quinine-based drink from the UK. It is estimated that the import of British tonic accounted for 5 per cent of total Spanish sales and action was taken against wholesalers who supplied bars and restaurants with the tonic as well as the main importer who had 45,000 bottles seized at ports of landing. Whilst Coca Cola has signed a private agreement not to send Schweppes tonic water direct to Spain, the distributor has argued that it is doing nothing wrong and that the Schweppes’ brand is closely associated in the minds of consumers with Coca Cola. The counter argument not only disputes this but points out that Spanish Schweppes tonic tastes different to the UK pro-

duced version and even has different sized bubbles. Once the CJEU completes its deliberations, their conclusion will be passed to Barcelona and a final decision will be handed down, so that one side will be able to relax with an enjoyable G&T. Intellectual Property lawyers await the decision with interest as there are many branded items produced in different parts of the European Union where parallel imports are known to take place from Eastern Europe to wealthier States and precedence in law is always helpful.

BUILDING A LOCAL CURRENCY FOR LOCAL PEOPLE

AN Israeli company, Colu, has attracted more than €10 million financial investment from corporate investors prepared to take a chance on new high tech start-up companies. Originally formed to take advantage of the interest in digital currencies following the success of bitcoin, it has shifted its emphasis to introduce local online currencies for specific cities. Starting in Israel and the UK, there is every likelihood that if the test cases are successful, we could see the same concept arriving in Spain. The actual idea is quite simple and takes the previously tried concept of a local currency and digitises it so they now operate the Haifa Shekel and the Liverpool Pound. Local companies agree to sign up free of charge to Colu and confirm that they will accept digital payment and consumers also sign up to convert their pounds on a one for one basis for the Liverpool Pound. There are no charges to change money nor are there charges when payments are made but in order to prosper

PROMOTING local shopping.

EWN online Tweet us your opinions @euroweeklynews

Colu charges 1.5 per cent when the digital currency is cashed in. The attraction for local business is that it pays no fees to accept digital payment and as membership - both business and consumer - grows so there will be an increasing market of local shoppers. Research shows that large businesses such as supermarkets and major retailers move up to 70 per cent of in-

come earned out of the area to regional or main bank accounts whilst local businesses keep up to 65 per cent of income circulating within the area. The concept is good, but there are potential drawbacks as there is only so much local business to business trade that can be undertaken before small companies need to ‘cash in’ their Liverpool Pounds which is when they lose 1.5 per cent of their total. Equally, if businesses keep hold of all of their digital income, Colu won’t make any income and could well ‘pull the plug.’ None of the four trial areas have been trading for long enough to indicate whether this is a potentially viable option, but the fact that some major venture capitalists are prepared to help fund the company suggests that this could be the next big thing in the digital world. If it does take off, then the only slight irony will be a concept that looks to support local shops for local people will see a percentage of the money earned disappearing to Israel.

Spain boosts private pensions THE Minister for the Economy, Luis de Guindos has made it known that the government is anxious to encourage investment in personal pension plans. He therefore intends to put a draft Royal Decree before Parliament reducing the maximum management fee for plans from 1.5 per cent to 1.25 per cent of the value of the investment. This is the second reduction since 2014 when the maximum fee was reduced from 2 per cent and will be criticised by investment managers who claimed that they lost €100 million of income then and could lose another €50 million if this law is approved. From 2025 it will also be easier for individuals to release part of their pension investments.

Winner of Ig Nobel prize A RECENT Spanish development for unborn babies known as the Babypod is available for pregnant women at a cost of €149.95. This small intra-vaginal device stimulates neural development in unborn babies through music. The company which has been set up by four scientists says studies show that it encourages communication and vocalisation in babies before birth through the music streamed. Babypod gives them their first musical and learning experience and is far more effective than other devices affixed to the stomach. Not everyone agrees however as it has been singled out for an Ig Nobel in this year’s annual awards presented by humorous American scientific magazine Annals of Improbable Research.

BREXIT MAY HURT EXPATRIATE PENSIONS

CONSERVATIVE MP Nicky Morgan, Chairman of the UK Treasury Committee has written to the Chancellor regarding possible loss of pension payments and insurance for expatriates. It appears that what are known as cross-border insurance policies may no longer be permitted following Brexit unless some form of agreement is reached between the UK and European Union. In essence, a number of policies which run after March 2019 have been sold to customers under passporting arrangements which allow for the insurers to make payments into the EU but these arrangements will in theory be stopped post Brexit unless some form of agreement is reached. Pensioners in particular should not immediately worry as it is believed state and other pensions paid into UK accounts should be safe but there may be some difficulty in respect of private pensions paid in euros into EU accounts. The same may be true for other insurance policies also written in the UK

www.facebook.com/euroweeklynews

UK needs new agreement but covering properties, lives or other matters in Spain. This is not some form of crafty trick by insurance companies but a situation which means that without some form of agreement, they will either have to withhold payment or risk breaking the law. So far, the United Kingdom has indicated that part of the initial discussions inv o l v e d cross-border sales of goods and

materials but according to the Treasury Committee, both the UK and EU appear to have overlooked these sales. As it could take anywhere from nine to 18 months for legislation to be put in place to allow these transfers or for British insurers to either set up subsidiaries abroad or transfer their existing portfolios to third parties, the problem is quite urgent. In her letter to the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, Miss Morgan said “The possibility UK providers may not be legally able to pay out pensions or insurance contracts to citizens in the EU - including UK expats - is a stark example of the consequences of a ‘cliff edge’ Brexit.” She went on to say that “It is therefore surprising there have been no position papers from the [European] commission or the government proposing how it might be addressed.” It is estimated there may be several hundred thousand contracts which could be affected and therefore this intervention by the Treasury Committee is clearly very timely.

Catalan pension fears AS the Catalan Independence Referendum row rolls on, employees and pensioners in the province are receiving mixed messages about the viability of an Independent state. Whilst the Catalan government has been issuing comforting words to the estimated 500,000 existing pensioners, the government in Madrid suggests that there would be a shortfall of just under €4.7 billion to pay them. With the largest number of workers falling in the 25 to 54 age category, the number of pensioners could well grow over the coming years which would put a further strain on the Catalan economy. Without national support, the government suggests that the independent state could see job losses of at least 250,000 which would also reduce the pension pot and increase the drain on social service payments.

Losing mental capacity whilst living abroad by Stone King Charlotte Macdonald Contact me at international@stoneking.co.uk

MANY UK expatriates living in Spain own properties in the UK and have pensions and investments in the UK. They rely on their UK assets to maintain their lifestyles (and those of their families) in Spain. If they can no longer manage their affairs in the UK due to a loss of mental capacity, it can cause many difficulties.

You can choose a person or people, who you trust, to act for you when you are no longer able. The best way to avoid the legal and practical difficulties that can occur with the loss of mental capacity is to plan for it in advance by drawing up a document called a ‘Lasting Power of Attorney’ (‘LPA’).

An LPA must be made while you have full mental capacity.

What is an LPA? An LPA is a legal document that enables you to appoint one or more attor-

neys to act for you when you are no longer able to act for yourself. Your attorney can be a professional,

such as a solicitor or a family member or friend. There are two types of LPA: ‘Health and Welfare’ or ‘Property and Financial Affairs’ An LPA must be made while you have full mental capacity. It is therefore important to make one while you are in good health. Why should you get an LPA? You can choose a person or people, who you trust, to act for you when you are no longer able. If you lose your mental capacity and do not have an LPA, then your family (or the authorities) will have no choice but to make an application to the Court of Protection to appoint a ‘deputy’ to look after your affairs, which can be time consuming and costly. Will my LPA be recognised in Spain? Unfortunately there is no international type of LPA which is guaranteed to work in both the UK and Spain. The advice we give to our clients at Stone King, is that if you have assets in both Spain and the UK, your only safe option is to appoint attorneys in both jurisdictions.

If you would like to discuss LPAs contact Charlotte Macdonald or Dan Harris at Stone King LLP by email international@stoneking.co.uk or by telephone on +44 (0)1225 337599.

No one’s laughing now are they? LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT IF the UK doesn’t toughen up against the threat of potential terrorism we really can put our heads between our legs and kiss our proverbials goodbye. The first thing the government has to come to terms with (and more importantly publicly admit), is that we are in a war. The second thing, imperative to any successful outcome, is to openly recognise that the active participants in this conflict are predominantly young men, who hail from ethnic backgrounds and are followers of Islamic beliefs. Political correctness and the fear of being labelled a racist preventing us admitting who our enemies are is utterly ridiculous. The power to intercept internet use and freeze suspects’ bank accounts, rescinded in 2011 due to some human rights infringement protest (surprise, surprise) must be restored. Internment must be brought back. The 23,000 terrorist suspects presently at large in the UK have to be monitored more closely, including phone hacking and the eavesdropping of conversations. No individual convicted of terrorism should have access to public funds for leave

ANTI-TERROR MEASURES: Must be intensified? to appeal and, where possible, immediate deportation should be in effect. Suspects’ homes must be raided far more frequently. Mosques and schools, suspected of preaching radicalism, must be closed down and offending leaders jailed. Police have to be given much wider powers and not be in fear of recrimination for offending some religious ritual

or another. We are quite simply too damned soft. The days of Geneva conventions and fair play is over. This enemy merely looks on any sign of decency as a weakness. These people kill women and children and even their own kind indiscriminately. They saw peoples’ heads off and crucify others on social media. You can’t possibly fight a

war against them shackled by political correctness or the fear that you may ‘offend’ somebody. This war is also being fought on many fronts, including a growing number in high office, banner bearers who parade the streets and bleaters in the public media. The enemy is everywhere. Strange is it not, that when I warned of all this 20 years ago I was accused of being a ranting idiot and indeed often observed as a laughing stock? Well in the words of Nigel Farage to the European government. No one’s laughing now are they? I will finish this week on a somewhat lighter note. Ta ra! Couldn’t help laughing at a story I picked up during the week. It concerned the late great actor Yul Bryner. Apparently during the run of The King and I at the London Palladium in the 60’s, one elderly fan waited at the stage door every night with a bunch of flowers for Mr Bryner. Every time they were offered the star declined. On the final night the lady duly turned up and hit Bryner over the head with her bouquet. This was brilliantly observed in the piece I read as a memorable example of the ‘fan hitting the s..t’! Ha ha. Got to laugh ain’t ya? Keep the faith, Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

Superyacht owners splash the cash but few

Awash wit Peeping into the world of superyachts offshore in southern Spain and talking onshore to people in the know about the super-rich and famous provides an amazing eye-opener for landlubber David Noon, including how to save a small fortune on fuel to spotting an on-board Picasso. OTHING says rich like a superyacht. A Rolls-Royce or a stately home - even a private jet - pales in significance compared to the exuberance of wealth that a superyacht purports. The superyacht is the ultimate toy to many A-list celebrities, Russian oligarchs and Middle Eastern royal families seeking out the high-life on the seas. And so it could be safe to assume that the owners of the monumental vessels have little time - or need - to worry about the cost of their homes at sea. Think again. Just as the majority of us will shop around for the best mobile phone or flight deal, superyacht owners are keen to bag a bargain wherever they can. In fact, a wise oligarch could be saved as much as €25,000 on a single tank full of fuel should he - or his hired crew - know where to stop off. This is a fair old chunk of cash when you consider the cost of cleaners, maintenance, catering staff, and everything else in the world of yachting, where some cynics claim that the two best days in a boat owner’s life are the day that he 43 metre buys... and the superyacht: day that he sells! Fuel capacity: Chelsea 22,430 owner Roman litres Abramovich’s (around b e s t - k n o w n £15,000) yacht (he has five in total), the Eclipse, reportedly has 70 staff to cater to the guests’ every need and operate not only the superyacht but also its mini-submarine. The world’s largest superyacht, the Azzam (a staggering 180 metres, or 1.75 times longer than a standard football pitch), is estimated to set its royal Arab owner back an eye-watering $60 million every year in upkeep alone. Owning a superyacht isn’t for the rich or even the super-rich. It is for an elite class so far up the wealth ladder that it’s hard to imag-

Rock stop to forget WHILE there is undoubtedly cash to be saved from a stop-off in Gibraltar, one Russian billionaire will be wishing that his mega vessel had not put into Gibraltar earlier this year. No sooner had the captain of Andrey Melnichenko superyacht berthed than the Gibraltar Port Authority impounded the €400m superyacht, Sailing Yacht A. Seized, the tallest (and 10th longest) superyacht in the world, was held over unpaid fees, with German shipbuilder Nobiskrug claiming that the

Russian industrialist owed €15.3 million in overdue fees for the €143 million vessel. Designed by French interior designer Philippe Starck (who has a place in Ronda in southern Spain), the Sailing Yacht A remained in the hands of the Port Authority for two weeks until Melnichenko and Nobiskrug reached an agreement and all potential civil charges were dropped against him. Melnichenko also owns a superyacht called Motor Yacht A which is reportedly up for sale for around €200 million.

ine. And because of this only 20 on average superyachts are commissioned each year. Costing between €300-500 million with an average build time of three to four years, owning a yacht is a hobby for the top echelons of wealth. And on top of the initial cost there are the countless extras to factor in: mini-submarines (as owned by Abramovich), support vessels, helicopters etc. Add in upkeep, which in general is around 10 per cent of the build cost (between €3050 million) each year - so yes an eye watering €3 - 5 million per annum - and the dizzying opulence of superyacht owning becomes clear.

For this the owners throw in the full crew requirement and fuel, but not many aim to make a profit overall, for the cost of running such vessels over 12 months is around €40 million. Whether being used solely by the owners, family and friends, or being chartered out to help offset running costs, many of the superyachts that use the Mediterranean in the European summer months head for the Caribbean from November to April. This means the opportunity for further sunshine holidays afloat, for rest assured the super-rich are not tied to just a fortnight break once a year!

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I LOVE a bit of shopping me. I can shop for hours. But, ha ha you knew there would be a but, didn’t you? Otherwise I’d be Mr Happy wouldn’t I? There are a couple of things that have put me off going to certain places to shop. The biggest culprit, for my dismay, is a certain chain of furniture shop. It’s not the things they sell - their quality and value is second to none and their meatballs are delicious. It’s the way you are made to walk round the store like a herd of cattle. You can’t just pop in and get something. You have to go round and round and, heaven forbid, you forget something when you get to the cash desk. It’s a nightmare! The other one this week was the big supermarket in the Myramar shopping mall who also have another branch down the road from where I live. Now in my local branch they have shopping trollies that clip on the front of wheelchairs so that if you are disabled you can shop more easily. When I asked if they had any of these trollies at the Myramar branch the security man said I’d have to enquire at the

information desk. So I went there and the lady said no, I’d have to go to the Myramar information desk and ask there. So, we went and there was no one there so now we had walked, not me of course because I’m in the wheelchair and poor Mrs S is pushing me, to the entrance of the supermarket, then all the way back to the store desk and then to the Myramar desk and now back to the supermarket desk where we tell the girl no one is at the mall information point. She then picks up the phone and speaks to someone and a few minutes later another woman appears with a key, wanders off and then comes back with a wheelchair friendly trolley. ‘Why is it locked up in a cupboard,’ I ask. ‘Because they get stolen,’ I’m told which made me smile. ‘So you are telling me that you have hundreds of able-bodied trollies, all over the place, that can be taken to car parks, streets and basically anywhere but the four that are used for us in wheelchairs have to be put under lock and key? Because we disabled lot are a slippery bunch and are more likely to run off with your trollies? I have to tell you disabled aren’t too big on running anywhere in case you haven’t noticed!’ I got the shrug and that was the end of that conversation. Emails to: mikesenker@gmail.com

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Children in cars 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.

BUCKLE UP: Ensure your child seat or restraint is of the correct size. IN Spain, all children measuring 135cm in height or less must ride in the rear seats of a vehicle, irrespective of their age, and in addition to the requirements of the correct seat being provided appropriate to their size and weight. There are a number of exceptions to the rule, for example, when the vehicle does not have rear seats, when all rear seats are already occupied by others under the same characteristics, and where it is not possible to install approved child restraints in those rear seats. These are the only occasions when children may occupy a front seat, but they must always use the restraint system approved for their height and weight. Child restraints must also be installed in the vehicle in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer and the instructions that will indicate how and what kind of vehicles can be used safely. In 2014, two of the 14 children under 12 years of age who were killed whilst travelling in vehicles were not wearing any safety device at the time of the accident. It was the same for nine out of the 82 children who were seriously injured,

they too were not wearing any kind of restraint. The DGT has increased the powers of the traffic police in dealing with adults who fail to take necessary responsibility for children, including the immediate immobilisation of a vehicle where children are found to be travelling without appropriate safety restraints. To make the matter even clearer, there are a number of Golden Rules that must be followed regarding children in vehicles. Never carry a child in your arms or use the same seat belt that is protecting the adult. The use of child restraint systems (CRS) reduced the risk of death by 75 per cent and the severity of injuries by 90 per cent. Make sure the seat is properly installed. It should not move and ought to be properly secured, the recommended option being the Isofix anchorage system. The child’s head should never be higher than the back of the seat. It is recommended you continue to use appropriate and approved child restraint system until the child reaches 150cm in height. When taller than 150cm, they must use the vehicle seat belt.

Will they pay inheritance tax? I am confused by the Spanish law on inheritance tax. I have a property in Almeria but I am not resident. I have a Spanish will which leaves my property to my son and my daughter equally. Your property is in Andalucia, so we should not speak of Spanish law but of Andalucian law, because each of Spain’s 17 Autonomous Regions has its own rules. Further, many of the Regions changed their rules in 2015 after the European Court of Justice ruled that the previous national law

They both live in the UK. Will they have to pay some high rate of inheritance tax that will leave them in debt?

violated the equal rights of non-residents who are EU citizens. In your case, the Andalucian inheritance law applies. Your son and daugh-

S W (Costa del Sol) ter, also EU citizens, each have an exemption of €175,000. If your property is valued at under €350,000, this means they will pay no tax at all. After Brexit, when your heirs are no longer EU citizens, they will face a tax bill of around €65,000 on a property worth €350,000.

Spin, bluster and ex-prime ministers - is Blair turning over a new leaf Nora Johnson

Breaking Views Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

THIS week I was planning to write about thermoluminescence dating. Quite brief. Provocative. And thrilling. You’d have loved it. But then something happened. My blood pressure started rising rapidly. Again. After weeks of depressing news about fraught Brexit negotiations, Trump, Putin, Corbyn, hurricanes, who unexpectedly emerges from the woodwork? Yes. You guessed: Tony Blair. As we veer into autumn, is Blair turning over a new leaf? Thirteen years after opening doors to EU migrants, he now claims we can clamp down on immigration AND stay in the EU! Additionally, he’s urging MPs and Tory ministers to rise up against the government and oppose Brexit, hinting at plans for a new political party to offer a second referendum. Perhaps Blair’s most charming quality is his unquestioning trust in the promises made by his friends in Brussels. He once brought back a promise of Com-

TONY BLAIR: Pro-European passion. mon Agricultural Policy reform in exchange for Britain returning much of Thatcher’s hard-won rebate. Brussels still pockets Mr Blair’s gift but never amended the CAP. Now he’s visited his old mate Jean-Claude Juncker and claims the EU will ‘meet’ British concerns about immigration if Britain rejects Brexit. It really wouldn’t be surprising if Juncker’s promised him a place at the top table of the gravy train for his efforts at causing Brexit unrest. He and Juncker: both ‘has-beens’ who won’t accept their time is over. So Toxic Tony hasn’t given up on being European President! And why not? Didn’t he do a cracking job as Middle East peace envoy, sending millions fleeing whilst the countries one after another descended into

chaos. His self-interest and arrogance are beyond belief. How Blair evidently misses his time at the very top of government as PM! Which reminds me. Jim, a friend’s father suffering from Alzheimer’s, needed an assessment some years back to see if he could get into a care home. “What’s the name of the prime minister?” the GP asked. “Blair,” Jim replied, which got a firm tick... until Jim added: “Lionel.” Nora Johnson’s psychological crime thrillers ‘The Girl in the Red Dress,’ ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.norajohnson.net) available from Amazon in paperback/eBook (€0.99;£0.99) and iBookstore.

THURSDAY THOUGHTS Raymond Kearney, Alicante

Why it went wrong THE day after the lethal truck attack at the Berlin Christmas market in December 2016 the Spanish National Police (based in Madrid) instructed all police departments in Spain to place physical security barriers in public areas where large numbers of people are likely to gather. The instructions clearly read ‘Municipalities should protect these public spaces by temporarily installing large planters or bollards at access points to hinder or prevent the entry of vehicles.’ In Barcelona the instructions were ignored and over 100 people were killed or injured during the recent attack. Why were these instructions not followed? Was the reason lack of funds, a manpower shortage or for aesthetic reasons? NO. The Catalonian police and authorities did not want to ‘appear’ to be doing what Madrid was instructing them to do. The newspaper El Periodico De Catalunya recently claimed there is a ‘total absence of police collaboration between Mossos d’Esquadra (Catalan Police) and the National Police and Guardia Civil which translates into huge security deficiencies.’ Over the past decades the Catalan independence movement encouraged mass immigration of Muslims in the hope that they would adopt Catalan rather than Spanish as their new language and they would swell the numbers favouring independence. Following the explosion at the house in Alcanar the Mossos d’Esquadra refused help from the Madrid-based bomb squad saying it was nothing to do with them and they could handle it. But how efficient is the Catalan police’s intelligence network if they did not notice the movement of over 100 large gas canisters to a house occupied by Muslims and a Muslim cleric?

What is prostate cancer and why should I get checked? PROSTATE CANCER is a disease in which malignant (cancerous) cells form in the tissues of the prostate and is diagnosed by a tissue biopsy, studies may include a rectal exam, ultrasound and PSA (Prostate-specific antigen). The cancer is found mainly in older men - from around the age of 45 years old an d i s t h e m o st c o mmo n ca n ce r among men, except for skin cancer. The disease may cause no symptoms in its early stages, this is why it is very important to go for regular check-ups. The more advanced it becomes, the following signs will appear: • Weak or interrupted flow of urine • Sudden urge to urinate • Frequent urination (especially at night) • Trouble starting the flow of urine • Trouble emptying the bladder completely

CANCER: When detected early enough, it can be curable.

• Pain or burning while urinating • Blood in the urine or semen • A pain in the back, hips or pelvis that doesn’t go away • Shortness of breath, feeling very tired, fast heartbeat, dizziness or pale skin caused by anaemia. Is Prostate Cancer curable? As with many cancers, when detected early, it is clearly curable. If the tumour has not spread outside the prostate gland, either radiation or surgical removal will cure the cancer very frequently. Other t r eat m ent s f or t he di sease i ncl ude; Chemotherapy, Cryotherapy and Hormonal Therapy. If you would like advice on this sensitive matter, arrange a free check-up or find out about Private Health Plans, please call 966 493 082 (Javea) 950 049 431 (Almeria) or alternatively, email in fo@goldenleavesinternational.com.

Worth their weight in gold Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene

ANNA GABRIEL is leader of the CUP anti-system party whose votes are vital to the Junts pel Si coalition that governs Cataluña. She refused to attend the Barcelona ceremony that awarded city hall’s Gold Medal of Civilian Merit to the police, firefighters, hospital staff and civil defence members who attended the victims of the August 17 terrorist attacks. CUP did not want the medal to go to the Mossos d’Esquadra, the region’s police force, on account of their ‘extrajudicial executions’ of the jihadi terrorists. Presumably Gabriel would have felt the same if she had been strolling along Las Ramblas just before 5pm on August 17 or had gone for a drink along Cambrils seafront later that night.

Hard to swallow MARIANO RAJOY must wish now that his July 2006 appeal against the re-

WHY is Spanish increasingly and divisively described as Castellano? Already common in bilingual autonomies, the term has crept into monolingual regions even though the definitive Diccionario Real de la Lengua Española clearly thinks the country speaks Spanish too. Bilingual regions have every right to use their languages which, despite the views of many English-speakers, are not dialects. Except Bable in Asturias which needs only another B to demonstrate exactly how it’s regarded both in that region and the rest of Spain. side Cataluña although managing this feat without doing the splits will merely demonstrate that he’s lying to someone.

CONTROVERSIAL: Anna Gabriel.

formed Autonomy Statute approved in a Catalan referendum a month earlier had not been upheld by the Constitutional Tribunal. That Statute, which had the blessing of Jose Luis Zapatero’s government and the national parliament, was too much for Rajoy and the seven regions governed by the PP. Eight of the Statute’s articles earned their censure and above all, the claim that Cataluña was a nation. If only Rajoy and his party could have swallowed that then! Instead their past intransigence is subjecting roughly

Babbling away

half of Cataluña and the rest of Spain to chronic indigestion now.

The trick rider ON Cataluña’s national day, the Diada, Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias declared “As a Spaniard who is proud to be one: Long live a free and sovereign Cataluña.” Iglesias resembles a circus performer trying to ride two ponies simultaneously, with a leg on each. He has to keep Podemos voters happy inside and out-

Seen to suffer THE national government placed too much faith in the Catalan separatists’ respect for the Spanish constitution. Rajoy, who has weathered so many storms, underestimated his adversaries if he imagined he could ride out this one, too. There was a misplaced Madrid belief that ambitious Oriol Junqueras, whose ERC party is one half of the governing Junts pel Si coalition, would cancel the referendum and press for regional elections once the Tribunal Constitucional

went to work on the Referendum and Disconnection Laws. That might not have put paid to independence plans but, like all Cataluña’s early elections, it would probably not have endorsed them. Instead Junts pel Si and their CUP henchwoman claim that they will take orders only from the Catalan parliament, refusing to recognise any other authority. Carles Puigdemont is not unlike a suicide bomber who wants to be a martyr. Nothing would suit the Cataluña president better than finding himself in prison and although he might not be willing to die for his cause, he would certainly like to be seen to suffer for it.

Marbella’s kids: meditating the future Marbella Moments by Nicole King

WE often hear that ‘life is what you make of it’ and ‘where there’s a will there’s a way.’ However for many we don’t really know what our ‘will’ is so it can be quite a challenge to find our way, let alone make the most of it. According to Swami Jyothirmayah there is a very simple and easy solution, for all of us. Our first moment in this world starts off with a breath of air ‘in’ and our last moment finishes with the last breath ‘out’; life is everything else in between. Each one of us is allocated a precious and finite amount of time, which can be ‘spent’ anyway we wish. Too many of us however spend most of our time just trying to get through the day; getting the kids off to school, getting ourselves off to work, doing the laundry, shopping, paying bills and then falling into bed exhausted just to get up the next day and start all over again.

Visit of Swami Jyothirmayah to Laude International School with Nicole (on his left). We worry, a lot. Many are always in a state of heightened fear of what may or may not happen tomorrow, or the next day; planning and fretting over the future without a thought for the present moment, the life we’re actually living now. All this can change for the better, apparently without effort, if we just remember to breathe and be aware of that breath of life. By mastering the simple art of breathing our lives and everything in it can flow as naturally and as effortlessly.

This is the message that the international, non-profit, educational and humanitarian organisation, the Art of Living wants to share via its educational and self-development programmes, offering powerful tools to eliminate stress and foster this sense of well-being. La s t Sa turda y e ve ning Mar bel l a wel comed Swami Jyothirmayah to the Exhibition Centre to address our community as part of this incentive to ‘heal’ the world. Our younger community members also

had a chance to meet the Swami thanks to the hospitality and open-minded nature of the Laude International School in San Pedro. Remedios Lopez, director of the school, firmly believes that our children are more than just academics and books and appreciates the importance of our future generations understanding the basic concepts of life. It turned out to be a very special moment for us all. The Swami’s message couldn’t have been clearer. Stop living in the past or the future, live in the now. Understand that, again as they say, “there is nothing to fear but fear itself.” Follow your heart, your intuition and don’t be scared to live. Bring joy to those who come into your path. Listen to others and help all those you can, expecting nothing in return. Make more friends and spend more time with them. Make being happy a priority and don’t feel guilty about it! Breathe; be aware of our breath. Take at least five minutes in the morning and the evening to sit quietly and let our thoughts flow so that our lives can be anything we want - if we just take the time to meditate the future that is. www.marbellanowtv.com

Healthcare a bitter pill to swallow WE came to Spain five years ago. Being under 65 years old we had to pay for private health care, which we have used and do understand, as our European Health Insurance Card will not cover us for long term future issues, only emergencies. We never wanted to use them to get our residence paperwork, although they used this as a sweetener when we signed up. We have not used the medical or dental cover for several months, and we understand that some people use this to get their residence and then cancel it once they have it, but we are not in this group. We now want to leave Spain and have been asked to pay for the full amount of the remaining eight months, and according to our legal team this is correct! So we either pay to fight or just pay the insurance company! As we have not used the cover for

‘Hero’ takes down rowdy passenger AN aggressive man was choked to the ground by a fellow passenger during a Ryanair flight. Well done! The guy knew what he was doing, he’s martial arts trained and put a ‘sleeper’ on him, just enough squeeze pressure on the jugular till his knees buckle, and blood/oxygen slows down to the brain! Perfect! He’d have got a my foot right in the groin!! He should be locked up! Julie Jones Peel Don’t need aggressive passengers, why can’t they just behave, well done that guy who dealt with him.

Comments from EWN online prove its system-wide punctuality.’ They should have their licence revoked. If you take bookings then operate your flights, I was considering them for a flight to Malta next year but this has changed my mind. Robert Baxter Johnston Text arrived at 6.35pm to cancel flight 9am next day. Tel no to contact them no answer and live chat not available . Office closed 7pm, received email at 8pm with refund or rebook link, rebooked for following day after three attempts but had to pay for seats again. I’m hoping to get refund. Beware if you ask for a refund at once then Ryanair believe no compensation is payable. I also had my flight cancelled during World Cup last year due to fly Marseille to Lille to follow England, offered a flight seven days later. I asked for hotel etc the lady on Ryanair desk called police over and accused me of being racist and abusive to her, total lie however when asked to leave airport gendarme turned at same

time she pointed me out to a colleague and smirked, he took me out and apologised. Brian Young

Airport unions ‘fear the worst’ but talks go on TALKS between the government and the airport unions have not gone as well as previous meetings, with some unions “fearing the worst” as key demands cause tension. They should fire them all and rehire. Lots of people wanting to work. Lisa Dandanell Ruggero Not so easy Lisa, some of those people have to be trained for years, IE air traffic control. You can’t just instantly dismiss and rehire. Plus what we don’t see from this story is... maybe the strike is the last straw for the workers who have a stressful and sometimes dangerous job to do. Alan Hill So cross we should be able to plan flights not an easy feat at the best of times Maureen Pearson

A MASSIVE vote of thanks to Benidorm’s much maligned Local Police department. Recently I have noticed a large police presence on every road with access to Levante promenade. This is obviously a plan to avert the use of vehicles being used in terrorist attacks and it is very reassuring to know that our Local Police are on hand to prevent this happening. It would be all too easy to imagine the carnage that would ensue if these terrorists were allowed access to one of the busiest pedestrian walkways in the town. Thank you one and all. Alan Fenlon, Finestrat

Stop the hate A FEW days ago, I wrote in a Facebook group that I had seen a boat coming dangerously close to a Marbella beach right among bathers, but others in the group told me to go back to my country if I don’t like it! Then, I saw an elderly Englishman being abused while trying to park his car at the supermarket until he got scared and drove away. What is happening? Things were never like this before! Christine Farnell, El Pinillo

Parking mad THE new parking system at Malaga airport is nothing short of atrocious! Arriving to collect my father last week, I ended up in the ‘new’ short term car park (effectively a tarmacked area surrounded by cheap fencing) by accident due to a lack of signage. I then had to pay €5 to get out despite having only been in ‘the compound’ for a total of three minutes! A grumpy expat, Coin

INTERVIEW

Many celebrities will visit the Marbella International Film Festival By John Smith RESPECTED actress Michelle Collins will present her latest film at the Marbella International Film Festival which runs from October 4 to 8. As the media sponsor for the Festival, Euro Weekly News has special access to some of the many celebrities due to visit Puerto Banus and this week, we were delighted to speak to Michelle. Known for a number of TV and stage roles, she explained that she came up with an idea for a story which she wanted to develop in order to look to feature a prostitute as the main protagonist rather than a minor character used to move a story forward. She discussed the basic plot of what has become a short (20-minute) film Black Road with producer friend Debbie Gray, known for the well-received British film Northern Soul and the soon to be released ‘The more you ignore me’ which also features Michelle. Debbie thought that the concept was strong enough for a TV series of perhaps six episodes but in order to take the possibility forward she suggested that a short film would be an ideal vehicle, especially if it was to be successful at international film festivals. Michelle took on the role of executive producer and raised most of the money so that they could bring in a professional screen writer and the director Tim Fywell as well as a strong cast with Michelle taking the lead role as Maggie an ageing prostitute who decides to do a good deed to help Lilly a young girl played by the critically acclaimed Molly Windsor. This four handed short is set in Blackpool and Michelle pointed out that the

weather was cold and dark which suits the film completely and added to the atmosphere of the movie which has found considerable success, winning best film at the European Short Film Festival in Berlin and special mention at the Delhi Shorts International Festival. Now, Dark Road is entered into the Marbella International Film Festival and Michelle is looking forward to attending the screening at the Teatro Goya in Puerto Banus on Thursday October 5. A regular visitor to Spain, Michelle says

that she knows Malaga better than any other city but while she loves to be in Malaga, she is very much looking forward to spending a few days in Marbella and naturally hopes that her short film will be successful. She is very open about her future career, explaining that as female actors age, so there are fewer strong roles available so she wants to expand her repertoire in order to be able to keep herself busy in the industry that she loves. Having learnt a great deal from her role as executive producer of Black Road, she decid-

ed to become involved in producing a stage play, the two hander ‘A dark night in Dalston’ which she also appeared in to good critical reviews. Her latest venture is to play the mother of Mark Addy (in flashback as they are roughly the same age) in the soon to be released ‘The more you ignore me’ written by Jo Brand and featuring an array of British comic actors including Sheridan Smith, Ricky Tomlinson and Sheila Hancock. Not content with all this work as well as making a number of appearances in a new TV comedy The Mayoress, fitness aficionado Michelle Collins is also in the process of launching a beauty range known as Pellum Vera by MC Skin Care. With a career that has seen her as a singer with Marie Wilson and the Wilsations, regular appearances on TV in Eastenders, Sunburn and Coronation Street, stage performances, films and nearly 40 years of regular work Michelle is sure to find continued success with all that she does. It must also be mentioned that alongside all of this, she is also heavily committed to charitable work being an ambassador for Oxfam, an ambassador for Ambitious about Autism and patron for the Alexandra Wylie Tower Foundation which helps young deprived children in North London.

National Day

Crisper frescos

TRADITIONALLY Gibraltar National Day has been celebrated on September 11 but this year the holiday was moved to September 4 to allow people to recover from the Music Festival. Now the GSD opposition in parliament wants to change the name to Referendum Day and return it to September 11.

THE Friends of Gibraltar and the Heritage Trust have, with the cooperation of the Governor, had 16th century frescos discovered at his residence restored. A time lapse video showing the work undertaken at The Convent can be viewed on the Friends of Gibraltar and Heritage Trust websites.

OBSERVATION of the Jewish New Year started yesterday and runs until tomorrow followed by several days of atonement which culminate in the holiest festival of Yom Kippur. The local Jewish Community which has a devout membership will then look forward to the coming year with hope.

Abdicating in 2014 for personal reasons, he elected his son Felipe VI as his successor. 3. Charles IV Charles IV reigned during a tumultuous time in Spain. Economic troubles, rumours about a sexual relationship between the Queen and the Prime Minister, and general public opinions on the King’s ineptitude ensured that he did not have a peaceful time on the throne. A revolt at the winter palace Aranjuez in 1808 forced him to abdicate. The ousted King appealed to Napoleon for help regaining his throne, but Napoleon forced both Charles and his son to abdicate and declared the Bourbon dynasty of Spain deposed. 4. Ferdinand VII Ferdinand VII reigned twice in Spain, once for a brief period in 1808 until he was overthrown by Napoleon and the second from 1813 until his death in 1833.

Alfonso XIII Alfonso XIII was King of Spain from 1886 until the proclamation of the Second Republic in 1931. During Alfonso’s reign Spain experienced several major problems that contributed to the end of the liberal monarchy: the lack of real political representation of broad social groups, the poor state of lower classes, especially peasants, problems arising from the Rif War in Morocco and Catalan nationalism. This combined turbulence prevented a liberal democracy being established, which led to the establishment of the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera.

REINTEGRO

As the moon shines on you, it is almost possible to feel the light. After a few recent hiccups it is now possible to get down to achieving your heart's desire. Whether that is what you will want at the end of the day is neither here nor there.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) There will be good news regarding an application or legal document. Following on from that your finances take a turn for the better and this could be long term. Having extra cash is great, but be wary of someone who would like to part you from it. At the weekend, events take a romantic turn but timing may be bad owing to other commitments.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Although you feel more in control as the week comes to an end, do not make the mistake of counting your chickens before they are hatched. If you do, you could end up with egg on your face.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Colleagues are far from helpful at the moment and you may even feel that matters are going backwards. It may be necessary to move away and leave them to haggle among themselves. Perhaps later you may step in and take control of the confusion. If your business life is far from good then it is more than balanced by harmony at home.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Your mind is sharp and it is easy to spot problems before they arise. Some dispute regarding a trip is disappointing. However, you are not able to please everyone in this instance.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Having been given a chance to take responsibility at the beginning of the month, you are determined to do your best. Certainly, it is a time to concentrate on any business matters which need attention.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) A great light shines on your romantic life. Whether it is meeting up with old chums or a new date, there is electricity in the air for you. Equally, a business coupling is particularly fruitful and you count your blessings to have gone down a particular path.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) The usually flamboyant attitude which is yours at this time of the year is now subdued, but this will not last for too much longer and soon things will be back to normal. You will be looking to spice up your romantic life and your partner will be only too willing to go along with your suggestions.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) There is a lot going on and sometimes you need to take a step back. A feeling that you have covered some ground before is not unfounded. However, there are certain aspects of your life which need to be revisited. Only in this way are you able to see the real progress that has been made.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Expectations are high. With energy peaking early on, projects gain momentum and there are early results. A suggestion made to a loved one some time ago is now acceptable and there could be some excitement. Rather than setting down hard-andfast plans, it may be better to be flexible.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your love life is highlighted and, although you may be suspicious of your good luck, this is a new phase. Whereas before you had some reason to mistrust you are now able to have confidence. It is a great time to progress your inclinations on the romantic front.

A RT H U R ’ S father is murdered which sees Vortigern (Jude Law) sieze the crown. Cast out and denied his birthright, Arthur (Charlie Hunnam) had to learn to grow up the hard way in the back alleys of the city. His life is changed completely as he pulls the sword from the stone and he has no choice but to acknowledge his true legacy, to rule England. Guy Ritchie puts his unique style on this epic fantasy action adventure which provides a new take on the myth of Excalibur, as Arthur makes his journey from the streets to the throne. This is a brazen reimagining of Arthurian mythos, coupled with Ritchie’s style, which makes for a bombastic yet entertaining King Arthur epic.

Why moisturising is a must By Kat Ashton WHILE you wouldn’t think to go a day without drinking water, you also shouldn’t go a day without moisturising your skin. A great moisturiser can help improve skin tone, mask imperfections and treat dry skin - all of which are the secrets to younger-looking skin. It also acts as barrier on the skin’s outermost layer which can help protect it from environmental pollution and irritants. Hydrated skin is healthy skin and most moisturisers contain ingredients such as ‘occlusives,’ which help prevent water loss, and ‘emollients,’ which smooth rough or flaky skin. A lot of creams on the market also contain caffeine which immediately makes your skin look fresh and perky, so it comes in handy after a rough night. Using moisturiser on a daily basis also has proven benefits in the long term. It helps skin cells to rapidly re-

pair themselves which prevents wrinkles from developing. Dryness also aggravates conditions like acne so sufferers should use a good, fragrancefree moisturiser along with their other treatments. It is even important to moisturise if you think you have a ‘greasy’ complexion as an oil-free serum will help to treat imbalances in your skin. Men should also try to keep their skin hydrated as much as women as they are more likely to show signs of ageing on their skin. When shopping for a new moisturiser, it is wise to buy one with added sun protection - the higher the SPF the better. This will help protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays that advance the signs of ageing and cause sun spots. The sun can do a lot of damage, even in places that are always cloudy, so this is a good way to keep your skin protected without having to remember to put on sunscreen as well.

The product aims to become a benchmark in the fight against increasingly sedentary lifestyles, with 44 per cent of the Spanish population failing to undertake the minimum recommended amount of exercise, according to the Active and Healthy Living Observatory of the Rey Juan Carlos University. This figure rises to 70 per cent for women, while one in four children is overweight. Vivaz offers three distinct health products designed to cover specific needs. Essential Insurance is for those who seek the best private health care at an affordable price, Complete Insurance covers all healthcare essentials, while Dental Insurance is designed for those who value toothcare but do not want to pay a fortune every time they visit the dentist. The new brand is closely linked to new technologies, with clients benefiting from an app using which they have full access to all aspects of their insurance, including payments, booking appointments or requesting medical documentation. There is also a second app named Vivaz Activity which is focused on improving the health of users, whether Vivaz customers or not. On every day that users meet the 10,000 steps target, the recommended amount of daily exercise, Vivaz offers points that can be redeemed for discounts on new insurance bookings or renewals, among other gifts.

Snoring What is snoring and why does it happen? Snoring is the sound of vibrations in the soft tissue of a person’s throat caused by moving air whilst a person is asleep. This vibration happens when the tissue relaxes and becomes flaccid to rest while we sleep. Does snoring affect a person’s health? Snoring affects rest and reduces a person’s quality of sleep, which can cause fatigue and irritability. Snoring also tends to be part of more serious conditions such as sleep apnoea. During the apnoea a person will momentarily stop breathing, triggering the body to wake up. These triggers can occur up to 100 times an hour in some cases. Who suffers from snoring? Snoring occurs in both sexes, 65 per cent of men snore regularly and so do 35 per cent of women. It

is believed around 4 per cent of the adult population suffers from sleep apnoea. Can it be treated? Surgery used to be the only solution to snoring. These days however we can use photon laser treatments for painless, long lasting results. It works by hardening the pharyngeal area through heating the soft tissue. Photon therapy can eliminate snoring, minimise the effects of sleep apnoea and give a person good quality sleep. Patients notice a difference after the first treatment. Can anyone get this type of treatment? Before undergoing any sort of treatment, it is essential to speak to a medical expert. In general we can say that photon therapy can be used on any type of person who snores and wants to better their sleep without having surgery.

Ten tips for more beautiful nails By Kat Ashton

Dr Mario Arques Jiménez.

21 - 27 September 2017 / Costa del Sol

KEEPING your cuticles in good condition can be tricky for many reasons. Nail health is influenced by many factors such as age, hormones and the seasons. Dry and brittle nails are the b a n e o f m a n y p e o p l e ’s lives but by just following a f e w, s i m p l e r u l e s o f thumb, you could change your relationship with your nails for good. Make sure to moisturise the nail beds and cuticles as keeping nails hydrated helps them to stay strong and grow faster. File in one direction when tidying the ends as running the nail file back and forth can cause the nail to split. They are also strongest when you shape them into an oval.

Avoid acetonebased nail polish remover as it can weaken nails.

Avoid acetone-based nail polish removers as they can make nails weak and brittle. Limit professional manicures or applying false nails as the glue can also weaken the nail underneath and makes it harder to keep them hydrated. Although hand washing is good for hygiene, try not to overdo it as the more exposure nails have to water, the more prone they are to breaking. Hence, buying hand soap and washing up liquid with added moisturiser could

make all the difference. Wear gloves when doing the chores as many cleaning products contain harmful chemicals that weaken nails. Make sure you’re wearing the right shoe size as t o e n a i l s s u ff e r w h e n squeezed into tight spaces for obvious reasons. Try not to go barefoot in public spaces like swimming pools and shoe stores as they are a breeding ground for fungi. Always make sure to bring along some thin socks or tights when trying on new shoes. Eat foods that are known to be good for nail health such as almonds, lentils and natural yoghurt.

IT’S EASIER to nail your handcare regime than you might think.

Mad about Manuka MANUKA honey is one of the most beneficial and healing forms of honey out there. Largely produced in New Zealand by bees that pollinate from the Manuka bush, the honey is used to cure a range of ailments - from sore throats and digestive problems to healing wounds. What makes Manuka different from other honey is the incredible range of nutrients that are packed into it. It’s a rich source of calcium, iron, potassium and zinc, just to name a few, which give the honey it’s healing and immune-boosting properties. Manuka actually has four times the

amount of nutritional content than normal honey. It also has a higher level of antibodies, which makes it particularly good at fighting infection. Whatever your health issue, a spoonful of Manuka could help the symptoms go down. Doctors have used the stuff to treat tooth decay, IBS, sore throats, allergies and eczema. The honey also has elixir-like properties which, if consumed every day, could make genuine improvements to your health and well-being. Due to its incredibly high concentration of nutrients, it can boost vitality, improve skin tone and give

you more energy. It could also help you get a better night’s rest. Manuka honey slowly releases glycogen which is needed for essential bodily functions during sleep giving a whole new meaning to drinking some hot milk with honey before bed. As Manuka has increased so much in popularity in recent years, there are many fake products pretending to be genuine on the market. To make sure you’re getting the real deal, it can be quite pricey after all, check that the jar is clearly labelled by a licensed New Zealand company.

Treatment for ingrown toenails

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. AN ingrown toenail occurs when the nail grows into the skin surrounding it. Eventually, the nail pierces the skin, causing it to redden and become swollen and tender. The big toe is most commonly affected, with other typical symptoms including pain when pressure is applied to the toe, inflammation of the skin, a build-up of fluid beneath the skin, bleeding, an overgrowth of skin around the end of the toe, or the excretion of pus. What causes an ingrown toenail? It comprises excessive growth of the skin around the nail, causing it to become red and inflamed, and even becoming infected with accumulation of pus. How do you treat an ingrown toenail? First of all you should ensure proper foot hygiene. You can reduce in-

flammation using warm salt baths or taking antiinflammatory drugs, although in some cases this is insufficient and surgery may be required. What type of surgery? When surgical intervention is necessary the idea is to free the nail and eliminate any infected areas. In rare cases the infection can be so severe that antibiotic treatment is required after surgery. Can an ingrown toenail occur more than once? It can happen many times if you do not take care of your feet and use appropriate footwear. What can I do to avoid ingrown toenails? It is best to take care of your feet avoiding the accumulation of dirt or moisture. You must also choose footwear that does not rub when you are walking or running.

Remember the past By John Smith AN all singing, all dancing show highlighting some of the best musical performances of the 1980s has been touring the UK for nine years and its producers are now in Spain. Vikki Holland-Bowyer and Greg Stevenson are the producers and main performers in the 80’s Mania show where 14 singers and dancers relive the best songs of no less than 28 fabulous acts. The duo, who are a couple in real life, are travelling to the Costa del Sol to discuss arrangements to bring over their Abba and Carpenters tribute shows to a large auditorium but thought it would be fun to give customers at smaller venues a taste of what they do. Armed with music featuring professionals from the main show and recorded in their state of the art studio, the pair of voice impersonators will present at least 25 different numbers from such

AIRBOURNE drive fans wild with their on-stage antics.

Rock and roll AC/DC have lost a drummer, a guitarist and a singer in the last year and many are speculating that it may not be long before they retire. Their raucous anthems have delighted rockers of all generations for many-a-year but eventually, someone will have to fill the sizeable boots they leave vacant. Fellow-Australian outfit, Airbourne look likely successors and their sound is about as close to the truly legendary rock gods as it could be. Heavy, riff-laden guitars combined with memorable

lyrics and raw vocals are what Airbourne are all about. The beer-swilling, sweatsoaked rock and roll outfit are coming to Malaga City and their ultra-loud show will likely be heard in the next province. Formed in Warrnambool, Australia in 2003, brothers Joel and Ryan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe have fuelled the success of the band for 14 years, maintaining their original sound in an effort to preserve what they believe to be true rock and roll. Since their formation they have toured with the likes of Motley Crue, Motorhead, Iron

Maiden and The Rolling Stones as well as entertaining thousands at some of the biggest festivals in the world. Now touring their fourth studio album Breakin Outta Hell, fans from all across the Costa del Sol and beyond will be flocking to see them at Sala Paris on Wednesday October 6. Support comes in the form of fellow Aussies, Melbourne thrash metal group, Desecrator, whose super-fast head banging sounds are sure to go down a treat.

That sinking feeling? A TOAST TO GOOD FOOD, GOOD WINE AND GOOD FRIENDS W I T H G A R RY WA I T E HOTEL in Belfast opened last week. The 119-bedroom hotel owned and operated by Dublin-based Harcourt Develop-

ments, is a ‘luxury experience with a Northern Ireland personality.’ ‘What’s the name of the hotel?’ I hear you ask. If I tell you that the hotel is situated in the former Harland & Wolff headquarters and historic drawing offices, it might make you think of the Titanic - and you would be right. Adrian McNally is to be the General Manager of the Titanic Hotel Belfast. The offices where the Titanic was de-

signed in the early 1900s have seen a £28m investment, including a £5m investment from the Heritage Lottery Fund, after having lain vacant for more than 25 years. In a recent interview the proud GM said that the most challenging aspect of the restoration was the restoration of the drawing offices, which were in a ‘dire state of disrepair.’ The original ceiling plaster moulding, crafted by the same men

Pensioners behaving badly

Pensioners that can drink to excess. IT is with some amusement I read that two pensioners who threatened and abused staff at the 47-bedroom Macdonald Loch Rannoch hotel in Kinloch Rannoch, Perthshire, have been fined nearly £5,000. Perth Sheriff Court heard how 72-year-old Robert Fergus went on a naked rampage through the hotel’s reception with a pair of scissors, and his wife Ruth, 69, threatened to shoot a member of staff in an alcohol-fuelled rage!

The couple were fined £4,100 and Mr Fergus was ordered to pay the hotel £800 compensation to cover the cost of damage. Needless to say the couple expressed their remorse and claim the alcohol induced incident was not in their normal character. I should think not! Leave that behaviour to the young ‘uns! Macdonald Hotels, which operates 54 hotels and resorts in the UK, Spain and Portugal, declined to comment about the case.

who built the Titanic and intended to showcase the craftsmanship of the Belfast ship makers by replicating the inside of cruise liners, had to be painstakingly redone by hand by artisan tradesmen. “It was fundamental for the integrity of the Titanic hotel to be able to restore those to their absolute glory,” said McNally. The first drawing office is set to be the hotel’s ballroom, while the second is the bar, which also features the same blue and cream Villeroy & Boch tiles used for the Titanic’s swimming pool, which were salvaged from the bathroom floors in the Harland & Wolff office to line the side of the bar. Bedroom wardrobes are replicas by what would have been in a first class ship cabin, and steel ceilings in the hallways are reminiscent of a ship’s interior. Half of the 160-cover restaurant is in the historic side of the building and the other half in the new extension. Very Art Deco feel with banquette seating and floor to ceiling windows. Obviously the hotel has been built in reverence to the famous, doomed liner. There are many quips I could make, but I think they would be in bad taste especially as it was such a tragic event in our history. But I am wondering whether, at the inauguration of the hotel, a Magnum of Champagne was not swung at the hotel with the immortal words, “I name this hotel the Titanic Hotel Belfast and may God Bless all that stay in her”

And if they were not enough YOU might have been hidden away these last few weeks to have missed the latest scam on this country’s Costas and Islands. The ‘ambulance chaser’ act of persuading people they have food poisoning from eating in any of the local hotels, restaurants and other tourist destinations in return for compensation and obviously a ‘kick back’ to the ‘agent’ getting them to lodge a complaint. This practice has been jumped upon by the Guardia Civil and ABTA. In the news lately a wealthy British grandmother living on Mallorca who has been detained by Spanish police investigating these fake food poisoning scams involving the UK. Despite pleading her innocence, Debbie Cameron, 59, and her daughter Laura Joyce, were taken into custody after a raid on the family villa overlooking the Med on Tuesday.

Glamourous Mother and Daughter Partners in Scam? The operation was part of a series of raids on properties and businesses on the island in an investigation into allegations British holidaymakers have been filing false legal claims for food poisoning. The alleged fraud is said to have cost local hoteliers millions of pounds. Laura Joyce remains in Spanish custody with her mother frantically trying to have her released from jail. Strangely enough Mrs Joyce’s

husband Stephen, who runs and owns Heroes Sports bar on the island, declined to comment. “I have nothing to say,” said Mr Joyce. Hhmmm? Me thinks he doth protest too little!! Needless to say that this practice has escalated and has reached the British press. We have to add that at this moment in time, everything is alleged. A leaked police document reported by the Diario de Mallorca said that a car registered to one of her companies had been used by individuals who visited local hotels to recruit tourists for fraudulent claims. The investigation continues. Enough to make you sick isn’t it? (Some content from the Caterer and Hotelkeeper and the Telegraph)

Flippin’ burgers IT would appear that McDonald’s has experienced its first ever UK strike. Staff at two sites in Cambridge and Crayford voted to strike over working conditions and the use of zero hours contracts. The action took place on September 4. The Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) said staff were demanding a wage of at least £10 an hour and more secure working conditions, as well as the recognition of the right to form a trade union as employees of the company. In typical Corbynesque manner the British Labour leader said “Our party offers support and solidarity to the brave McDonald’s workers in the BFAWU bakers’ union, who are making history today. They are standing up for workers’ rights by leading the first ever strike at McDonald’s in the UK. Their actions remind us that when people come together, organise and campaign for a better world, they can change history. Now it’s the time for all fast food workers, the young, the low-paid and the unorganised to join trade unions and organise in their workplaces to improve their lives. “Labour will stand with them as we build a country that works for the many not the few.” Give us a break!! McDonald’s announced in April that workers would be offered the choice of flexible or fixed contracts with minimum guaranteed hours. The move was trialled in 23 restaurants and will be extended to 50 more sites before being rolled out nationally. McDonald’s, which employs around 85,000 staff in the UK, also promised that by May workers paid by the hour will have received an average hourly pay increase of 17 per cent over the past two years. Doesn’t sound bad to me! Following the vote for strike action, a spokesman for McDonald’s said: “We can confirm that, following a ballot process, the BFAWU have indicated that a small number of our employees, representing less than 0.01 per cent of our workforce, are intending to strike in two of our restaurants.”

Solar soil sterilisation for a healthier garden GRAEME TYRRELL THERE is a great advantage in the Mediterranean climate to utilise the long summer sunny days to increase the health of your soil for the garden to grow better. Solar sterilisation is a technique that can only be used in areas with at least six weeks of hot sunny weather. It uses the power of the sun to heat the soil to extreme temperatures that will kill all the weed seeds, soil borne diseases, insects and larvae that damage your plants and in addition release valuable nutrients into a more soluble form for plants to benefit from. It is an easy procedure that requires only a few steps to

complete over six to eight weeks. The first step is to cultivate the soil to a fine tilth, as you might anyway to prepare the garden to plant. Step two is to water the soil thoroughly to a depth of 30cm to assist the transfer of heat through the soil and to activate the biology just before the next step. Step three is to cover the area you want sterilised with a clear plastic sheet that will not break down with sun exposure during the period of sterilisation. Black plastic can be used but the power of the sun in the Mediterranean clearly works better as the heat should kill the weeds emerging due to the sunlight through the clear plastic. Black plastic is more useful

in cooler climates to kill the emerging weeds. Then it is just a matter of ensuring the plastic stays in place by anchoring with stones, soil or other materials along the edges to keep the plastic tightly fitting the zone. After at least six weeks, but preferably longer to be more certain, the plastic can be removed and the garden planted in the nutrient enriched, weed and insect freed soil. The natural biology will return but it will be easier to grow the next crops or give a good start to new plantings. Earthworms and other insects that can burrow deep into the soil may not be affected by this treatment and can return once the soil cools. The practice can even be

Simply spread the soil out in a tray and cover with two layers of plastic to make it more effective and place in the full sun all day for four to six weeks. The technique means that the area you are sterilising is out of action for a couple of months but if you want to do your whole garden area it can be a sacrifice worth doing

during the summer period of limited growth to be able to enjoy the flourishing cooler months with better soil or you can rotate different areas with just sections done each year to make the most of growing summer vegetables or plants

in the zones previously sterilised or awaiting the technique to improve the soil. It is a great chemical free way to sterilise the soil down to 30cm deep and then grow healthier plants with less weeds.

Canna lilies: a touch of the tropics CANNAS, or Canna Lilies, are bright, beautiful and help to bring a touch of paradise to any garden. Originally from tropical and subtropical regions, these plants thrive under the hot, summer sun so while most plants cower in a heat wave, Cannas show off what they can really do. This ornamental flower looks stunning grown both wild and in pots and also makes a great border plant for ponds. They are easy to grow and require little maintenance so are great additions if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of time to spend in the garden. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now possible to purchase Cannas in most garden centres and all you have to do is plant the rhizomes (the root like structures) about 15cm deep and let the plants work their magic. Cannas thrive most in a rich soil full of nutrients and natural matter. They can grow in poor conditions but the leaf size and petal colour will suffer. These plants also require lots of water.

Blind dogs ‘see’ 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

THIS is Liam Neeson, “Some mornings I wake up and think, gee I look handsome today,” he is a Spanish Mastin. Spain has not always been kind to Liam, Save a Mastin rescued him from the Valladolid Perrera, he had been abandoned, he was ill and had problems with his eyes. Liam had ehrlichiosis, a tick borne infection. Liam was treated for the ehrlichiosis and

is now free of the disease, but, sadly for Liam, his sight could not be saved. Liam is now totally blind and had lost all confidence; even going for a walk was a major event. Liam went into foster in Malaga, but is now in foster in Hacienda Del Alamo, Murcia. We, Liam’s new fosterers, did some research into blind dogs and decided that an echolocation unit would be the best solution for Liam. Save a Mastin and Brigitte Jaquillard, did not hesitate and a BlindSight S2 was purchased from Jordy Candy Inc, in America. This, as far as we are aware, is the first echolocation unit to be fitted to a dog in Spain. It is a wonderfully enabling device, what is better than enabling the blind to ‘see?’ Liam’s confidence has grown immeasurably since he has been fitted with the BlindSight. He is able to navigate partially open doors! It is

still early days and if he gets excited and moves too quickly he may bang his head. We are, however, delighted with Liam’s progress with the BlindSight. There must be many blind dogs in Spain who could benefit from a BlindSight device. Let Hacienda Del Alamo, Fuente Alamo, Murcia and Save a Mastin lead the way in enabling the blind dogs of Spain. People and dogs may have disabilities but it is society that disables them. It is people who park cars on the pavement, leave water meter doors open and allow their hedges to overgrow the pavement that disables blind dogs, blind people, wheelchair users and mothers with pushchairs. Save a Mastin and Liam want to raise awareness and funds so that many blind dogs may be helped. “The eyes those silent tongues of love.” Miguel de Cervantes The BlindSight units are 3D imaging SONAR emitters. SONAR works by the principle known as echolocation. Echolocation is the use of sound waves and echoes to determine where objects are in space. The use of ‘echolocation’ can benefit an animal by providing relative location, distance and other information not affected by lack of sight.

Pining pet needs a helping hand I AM often asked what can keep pets happy when their families go on holidays. From personal experience with a dog years ago, any change in a pet’s routine can give cause to fret. So consistency at home helps keep the pet on an even keel, regardless of any changes. An owner’s unexpected absence can lead to some form of anxiety. ‘Dolly’ a Spaniel we had raised from a puppy was always happy, furiously wagging her tail end to show it. We only realised how nervous she could be when we left her in kennels one holiday. We had found a

friendly well-kept kennel and were delighted with our choice. However, we returned to find a much thinner dog with sad and downcast eyes. Her sorrowful mood persisted for weeks. We put it down to a first separation experience. The next year we consulted a neighbour

and placed Dolly in the kennels they used for their dog at the same time, thinking she might enjoy it more with a friend. We hoped perhaps that this time it would be easier. However, we returned to an emaciated dog who couldn’t bark. It took her a full two months to get her happy demeanour back, to say nothing of her voice. Some dogs just do better staying at home when the family goes on holiday. I’d be happy to help you find the right pet solution for you. SAD SPANIEL: Nervous in kennels.

Exotic pets rise in popularity IN China, rare crocodiles, tortoises and even sharks are the pets in vogue right now. These exotic animals are particularly popular among the younger generation, according to a Beijing-based filmmaker Sean Gallagher, who made a documentary on the subject for National Geographic. It looks like this pet trend is becoming more than just a fad, with an increasingly high demand for exotic animals in other parts of the globe. A couple in Catalonia, Spain also made headlines when they chose to adopt a lion cub they rescued from the circus. A man was recently detained at

the US-Mexico border for trying to smuggle through a tiger cub by hiding it between his feet. In fact, in 2014 the World Wildlife Federation (WWF) reported that there are more tigers kept as pets in US households than are living in the wild. In the Arabian Gulf, big cats have become the must-have accessory for the incredibly wealthy. Europeans are the keenest on reptiles, according to a BioScience study. It is difficult to estimate the extent of the exotic pet black market, buy Interpol estimate only 10 per cent of illicit animal exchanges are detected.

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.

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.

Do not disturb ALL smart phones have ‘flight mode’ settings. Soon they may have ‘driving mode’ too. Safety campaigners want mobile phone companies to follow Apple’s lead in wheeling out a ‘Do not disturb while driving’ feature. It blocks out all wifi and cellular signals so it becomes impossible for friends to interrupt a driver’s concentration from afar. Britain’s RAC has written to Google and Microsoft asking them to follow suit. Phone use while driving is an even bigger safety risk than alcohol abuse.

FOR BEST RATES IN MOTOR INSURANCE

CALL: 952 89 33 80 This car was so exciting I actually needed windscreen wipers on the inside.”

Some might say...

Market’s electric shock By Matthew Elliott PEUGEOT boss Carlos Tavares has warned that the rush to go electric risks destroying the motoring industry. His fiery remarks at the Frankfurt Motor Show come as European governments fall over one another with ambitious petrol-killing promises. Tavares, who runs PSA Peugeot Citroen and Vauxhall/Opel, says governments will bear all the responsibility when it comes to safety and technology concerns. Government interference in setting electric targets will kill creativity, he warned. State subsidies to boost the electric market will distort the industry’s natural evolution. “If you have ministers in Europe who say they will forbid the use of internal combustion engines, then I

have to comply and we will have to transform, re-engineer and retrain. But if electrification is not profitable in future, we all have a problem,” he said.

Tavares may not be accounting for China muscling into the electric market and potentially reducing consumer costs. The world’s biggest car market last week announced plans to ban petrol and diesel-fuelled cars and focus solely on electric. China suffers from stifling smog and pollution and already boasts a thriving electric bike industry.

WARNING: Peugeot boss doesn’t share electric enthusiasm. Last year the country built and sold 28 million cars, 500,000 of which were electric. Volvo has chosen China as the location to unveil its first entirely electric car in 2019.

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher

Kia Rio is attractively stylish KOREAN car maker Kia has upped its game in recent years, producing an enhanced range of well-built, good-value cars which all come with an industry-leading seven-year transferable warranty. Its latest Rio is a fine example, a supermini hatchback taking on big-selling rivals from the likes of Ford, Opel-Vauxhall and Volkswagen. The Rio is attractively styled and while not too eye-catching, racks up a lot of points for interior space, standard equipment and low running costs. Prices start at €13,297 (£11,995) for a 1.25 litre petrol model which comes with air-con, auto lights, Bluetooth, power front windows, remote locking, USB and AUX ports, adjustable steering wheel with audio controls, and a trip computer. My test model was the mid-range 3 Eco, powered by a 1.4 litre 89 hp diesel engine. Top speed is 174 kph (108 mph), the 0-100 kph time modest by class standards at 11.6 seconds. But the bonus is 26.3 kpl (74.3 mpg) and emissions of just 98 g/km. This version costs €19,251 (£17,365) and is laden with kit including alloy wheels, privacy glass, cornering headlights, power windows, sat-nav, touch screen, DAB radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, reversing camera, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning and a gear-shift indicator.

The dashboard is smartly-styled and its logical functional layout means it is easy to understand and use. Longer and wider than the previous model, the cabin of the new Rio is roomy even for rear occupants and at 325 litres, the boot is 13 per cent bigger. Wide-opening doors give good access and the rear seats fold to allow bulky items, though like so many in the class, the load floor is not level. Out and about, the Rio has light-touch controls for easy driving, with precise steering and an accurate manual gearbox. Ride quality is fairly typical of class standards, so too the general handling, so nothing to complain about. It drives and behaves like most hatchbacks in the

sector, extremely competant though not too exciting. Kia models are well built and well finished – hence that seven-year warranty - and the brand has well and truly shaken off the budget-car image it had a few years ago. It is a now a very respected marque offering genuine competition for big mainstream rivals - as the new Rio clearly demonstrates.

Stats panel Model: Kia Rio 3 Eco Engine. 1.4 litre diesel Transmission: 6-speed manual Performance: 0-100 kph 11.6 seconds, top speed 174 kph (108 mph) Economy: 26.3 kpl (74.3 mpg) Emissions: 98 g/km

Model tested is UK-specification and equipment levels and prices may vary in other markets.

Chiron screeches to speed record FORMER Formula One icon Juan Pablo Montoya has broken a new speed record in his retirement. In front of stunned fans he managed to take a Bugatti Chiron to 400kph from a deadstart, then return it to zero, in just 41.96 seconds. It took the Colombian 17 attempts to break the 42-second mark and get the video just right. From a parked position to 400kph it took the 8.0 litre W16 quad-turbo Bugatti engine 32.6 seconds and 2,621 metres. It then took Montoya 9.26 seconds and 491 metres to screech the car to a halt. Montoya sang the Chiron’s praises afterwards, claiming the car ran smoothly at 420kph in practice. During his competition days in the Indy500 the fastest he reached was 407kph. It was the sporting highlight of the Frankfurt Motor Show which saw some of motoring’s biggest names unveil their latest toys. Mercedes, BMW, Bentley, Audi and Toyota made major statements of intent, while Honda won hearts with its cute, retro-themed electric hatchback due for release in 2019. The latest incarnation of the Ford EcoSport failed to impress Twitter critics.

LAMBORGHINI executives are wetting their pants with anticipation ahead of the release of the Italian powerhouse’s new SUV. The date has finally been set for the grand unveiling of the Urus SUV, which ‘creates a class of its own’ according to a gushing press release.

Class of its own The ‘Super Sports Utility Vehicle,’ or SSUV, will meet the public on December 4 in Sant Agata Bolognese, Italy, the fantastically named site of the firm’s headquarters. The Urus is Lamborghini’s

answer to an avalanche of groundbreaking new SUVs unleashed by Range Rover, Porsche and Bentley in recent months. Globally, the SUV market is more competitive than ever.

Classic Car Club of Andalucia

9th Birthday celebrations T’S been a busy September already for the Classic Car Club of Andalucia. The ninth birthday celebrations went well and were reported in the last CCCA page in this newspaper. The ninth birthday celebration classic car run later that week was a huge success and supported by over 100 CCCA members. The event started from Venta Los Almendros, just above San Pedro on the Ronda road. Almost 50 glorious classic cars assembled there which rather over-filled the car park but gave both members and spectators plenty to enjoy and look at. From 1950’s MGs and the most glorious pale blue 1950’s Cadillac, to more modern Ferraris, there was something parked there for everyone to see. Members and their beautiful cars started arriving from 9.30 that Saturday morning, giving plenty of time to enjoy an excellent breakfast, meet with friends old and new, and prepare to depart at 11.00am. As is usual on these events, a briefing was given to all participants by the event organiser, Club Presidente Ian Giles, about five or 10 minutes before the ‘Off.’ Nothing serious was said and several new members were welcomed and introduced to the Club. This is always a good time to do that and to warn of any hazards en route such as the speed camera on the way down into Ronda! Just after 11.00 the first cars set off up the hill to enjoy the spectacular A397 road up to Ronda. Amazing views out over the sea towards Morocco greeted members as they climbed further up the winding but beautiful road favoured by many motor cyclists, especially on a Saturday morning. Sadly this road , although beautiful, is very unforgiving and has claimed the lives of many over enthusiastic riders who may have descended just that little bit too quickly. Thankfully, there were no such problems today and everyone was in relaxed mood, looking forward to the trip and the party that was to follow.

From Ronda the route headed east along the A-366 towards El Burgo. The road here is quite fabulous and provides not only amazing scenery, skirting the Parque Natural Sierras de las Nieves, but real driving that is not only a challenge but also so enjoyable! There was very little navigation for the co-drivers to do at this stage as the route was so simple, allowing all crew members time to appreciate and view the stunning scenery. Over the mountain top, through the forest, and then a descent into El Burgo where the route turned off, through the little village streets and then out on to the picturesque road, going northwards along the MA-5401 towards Ardales. This road was, as always, virtually traffic free and a real pleasure to drive, especially in a classic car ! About half-way between El Burgo and Ardales, the route turned east to take the spectacular climb and then descent into Casarabonela. This pretty little town, and the surrounding area, produces huge quantities of Olives and, in December, they hold the ‘Festival de los Rondeles,’ which celebrates the harvesting of these little green things. The town will open its doors (literally! ) to visitors who can wander around the town, going in and out

Motoring correspondent Ian Giles reports on the latest news from the Andalucia Classic Car Club, the most successful such society in the area and probably in Spain with over 600 members. of people’s houses to sample local cooking and local wines. The CCCA often provides a display of classic cars here outside the Ayuntamiento (town hall) which is indeed a privilege to do. Wonderful, friendly people and some great food! From Casarabonela, the route went on to Zalea where a regular feature in this area is what is called ‘The Barrels Bar.’ It’s actually Bar La Herradura where the Club stops for refreshments and tapas if the route should go that way. There are a number of barrels outside the bar which, together with a huge car parking area, makes it an ideal stop. Great tapas too and that’s why it takes its name unofficially as ‘The Barrels Bar.’ After a very enjoyable stop the route headed along the new section of the A355 road towards Coin and then up towards Mijas along the Ma 3303 where cars turned south down the A-7053 to come in to the pretty village of La Cala. The end of run lunch was then held at Avanto Beach Club where secure parking was arranged outside. To get almost 50 classic cars parked would have been difficult were it not for the incredible cooperation the Club gets from Mijas Town Hall who simply closed the road so that all cars could be safely parked right outside! Quite an achievement to do this on a beach-side road in the busy summer season! On arrival at Avanto, canapés and drinks were distributed to thirsty crews whilst they enjoyed a natter about the days route and the various adventures each had enjoyed.

Lunch was served on the beautiful terrace overlooking the beach and then the party really got started! The fabulous ‘Memphis Trio’ provided non-stop rock-n-roll for the afternoon and soon had most people up dancing and enjoying the amazing atmosphere created. It was unanimously agreed that this was one amazing way of celebrating nine years of this vibrant, go-ahead classic car club!

Next event to which non-members can attend is the monthly club night and dinner at Treetops restaurant at El Chaparral Golf Club on Tuesday, October 3.

Further information on Classic Car Club of Andalucia events can be found on the Club’s website www.cccandalucia.com. Membership of this vibrant club is open to anyone owning a genuine classic car here in Spain. Saca tu coche clásico del garaje y diviértete con el.

LIONEL MESSI has broken one of his own records. The Argentine ace surpassed his personal-best scoring run in the opening games of the 2017/18 La Liga season after scoring his 28th league hat-trick in a 6-1 hammering of Eibar. The 30-year-old Barcelona forward has netted nine goals in the first five matches of the campaign, a feat which pundits describe as nothing short of sensational and one which gives him a considerable head-start on Cristiano Ronaldo who was banned for five games after pushing a referee in the Supercopa de España. Messi’s previous highest haul was when he landed eight goals in the first five games during 2011/12. He has not yet beaten the all-time record of 10 goals in the opening five fixtures, a feat only three (Pruden, Marcelino Campanal and Pahino) have previously achieved. Deportivo Alaves, Espanyol and Eibar have all suffered at the hands of the Balon d’Or winner and with newly-promoted Girona as Barca’s next league opponents, fans and experts alike are expecting him to add to his tally.
