Prison terms for Costa property conmen TWO fraudsters were found guilty by the Malaga High Court of swindling foreign investors out of more than €1 million.

Each received a three-and-a-half-year prison term and was fined €9,000.

The men attracted clients for fictional property deals with promises of returns of up to 20 per cent on their investment.

They also promised to hand over properties on the Costa del Sol or shares

in non-existent companies if they failed to return the original investment within the agreed time limit.

To gain the confidence of their targets, the two men claimed to have a $1 million reserve fund and properties in Estepona as well as the Bahamas, Venezuela and Macanao. In a textbook example of a Ponzi scheme, the accused initially paid the agreed amounts of interest when due.

N watch ews

Encouraged by the apparent success of the enterprise, new clients were happy to put up money, unaware that it was then used to pay earlier investors.

In reality, the men owned no properties, the tribunal concluded, apart from land in Estepona acquired in 2000 with the intention of constructing 22 homes for which only one licence had been granted and no others applied for.

Birds of prey up close A NEW activity has been planned at the Tajo Gorge in Ronda which will allow visitors to see birds of prey flying close to them.

ELECTRICITY demand peaked in Malaga Province last Sunday due to the hot winds, encouraging people to use their airconditioning.

Nearly 1,000mW were used, according to the electrical company Endesa, which is 10 per cent more than the Sunday of the previous week.

In many households, people are reluctant to turn on the air-conditioning to save on electricity bills, but last weekend, it appears that the desire to be cool was greater than the need to save money.

Loan pay-back THE company which will manage the Malaga underground system, Metro Malaga, will have to start paying back the loan of €225 million to the European Investment Bank from March next year even if the system has not yet begun operating.

Work on hold PLANS to extend the Costa del Sol Hospital in Marbella have come to a standstill because the company which is carrying out the project has filed a case against the Junta de Andalucia for allegedly violating the conditions of the contract.

THE Plataforma CAM support group has made a high court application to annul the bank’s purchase by Banco Sabadell because they say the nationalisation of CAM was fraudulent.

Hero officers ROYAL VISIT: The Earl of Wessex inspecting the troops in Gibraltar.

Royals bid farewell after Rock visit

A BRITISH royal visit to Gibraltar ended yesterday (Wednesday) when the Earl and Countess of Wessex bade a fond farewell following a busy three-day visit.

On Tuesday their programme included unveiling a plaque to honour Moroccan workers in Gibraltar, a museum visit, and a drive to the Upper Rock where they met several people involved with the Queen’s visit to Gibraltar in 1954, two years after her reign began.

Later the same day they opened a children’s playground and attended the Queen’s Birthday Parade followed by the Queen’s Birthday Party at the Convent.

Options that included illuminating only the north side of the road or substituting existing streetlights for lowerconsumption models were considered and rejected.

“Our final decision is the most sensible,” Garcia declared.

The scheme’s only downside is the €60,000 expense of fitting the dimmer devices and the remote management system’s future running costs.

Within less than three years, however, the equipment will have paid for itself, the councillor claimed.

If a child not using one of the special seats dies in an accident, parents could also be accused of involuntary manslaughter.

Euro 2012 Championships - all the current news, action and results MY EURO 2012 DIARY With Tony Matthews June 8-11 • AN EXCELLENT opening ceremony was followed by a first match 1-1 draw between Poland and Greece. One of my top ten players to watch, Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, scored

the first goal of the tournament; each side had a player sent-off and Giorgos Karagounis missed a penalty for Greece (saved by substitute ‘keeper Przemyslaw Tyton).

• THE SECOND game saw one of my favourites to win overall, Russia, whip the Czech Republic 4-1. Alan Dzagoev

and Roman Pavlyuchencko scored super goals for the winners but star of the show was Andrei Arshavin. No-one could match him for skill.

• DENMARK caused the first major shock, beating a disappointing Netherlands team 1-0 and soon afterwards Germany got off to a winning start with a single goal victory over Portugal, Mario Gomez on target in the 72nd minute.

• HOLDERS AND FAVOURITES Spain started their campaign with 1-1 draw with Italy; a poor Republic of Ireland side lost 3-1 to Croatia while England and France also drew 1-1 and hosts

Taking the Supermoto battle to Lleida THE Supermotoland team will be travelling to the city of Lleida, in Cataluña this weekend for the second round of the Spanish Supermoto Championship on Sunday June 17. A street circuit situated in the parkland in the centre of LLeida has

been specially built for the race.

Britain’s Anthony and Mat Ford-Dunn will be amongst the competitors.

Anthony is currently third in the championship standings and only 13 points behind the two leaders. A good result could see him at the top of the championship table, but he knows it won’t be easy against reigning Spanish champion Francesco Cucharrera and second placed Isreal Escalera.

The gasmen cometh, but not to check your installations More bulls get abattoir chop Simone Simone / Shutterstock.com

THREE gas technicians authorised to check gas installations have been arrested by Malaga police and charged with robbery.

Two of the men, wearing company uniform, went into homes on the pretext of carrying out an inspection after showing their credentials.

Once inside, one would distract the owner with explanations of alleged technical failings, while another slipped into the bedrooms to pocket cash and items of value.

The men stole a cashbox containing €20,000 from one home. In another they took three envelopes containing €800 in cash from their 100-year-old victim.

Police received a tip-off and, with the co-operation of the inadvertently involved gas company, arrested the three men aged 46, 28 and 20.

DECLINING: Bullfighting is no longer as popular as in previous decades.

UNWANTED: Demand for fighting bulls is falling.

AN INCREASING number of Spain’s fighting bulls are now dying in the abattoir rather than at the hands of matadors.

For with bullfights nationally falling in the last five years by more than 45 per cent, many breeders are now cutting their losses and sending fighting-bull herds to a quicker death.

It costs €4,000 and at least four years to rear fighting bulls.

This has led to many breeders finding themselves with unwanted animals as the anti-bullfight campaign gets further backing.

Last year just 1,177 bullfights took place, 999 fewer than the 2,176 staged in 2007.

Quality dentistry with personal attention for every patient with realistic fees During 2011 I had implant treatment done with Sam and Simon Mark at Mark dental clinic. Initially I had a consultation where I was informed regarding the procedure of having dental implants.

After some consideration I decided to have my treatment done at Mark dental clinic. I had 4 implants at my upper jaw to close single gaps and 2 implants lower jaw to anchor my denture.

Now I feel confident in my new teeth and more importantly my lower denture does not move .

Thank you guys for all the professional treatment, support and care.

Cockfight accusations fly in Mijas Costa CLANDESTINE cockfights are being held at a Mijas Costa finca, according to animal protection association Actyma.

In a document to the regional government, Actyma identified two men as the alleged organisers.

Spectators place heavy bets and minors are often present, it claimed.

Fights have been held for some time on a plot of land at the finca near La Alqueria, according to Actyma. It is not registered as a breeding centre and figures in neither Junta nor town hall records, alleged the association in a formal complaint to the regional government.

Cockfighting at unauthorised venues breaches animal protection laws as well as gaming regulations, pointed out Actyma, which urged the Junta to take action.

Famous for her roles in operas by the likes of Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti as well as the sublime hit ‘Barcelona’ with Freddy Mercury, Montserrat Caballé hardly needs an introduction. Her unique vocal pureness, control and power as well as her charismatic personality make her one of the most respected and admired classical performers of all time.

Her daughter, Montserrat Marti, is a soprano artist in her own right and will be performing alongside her mother on this special night. Also performing is Nikolay Baskov, an

immensely popular international artist, who formed part of the Russian Bolshoi theatre troupe, leaving in 2001 to launch a successful solo career. He has performed with Montserrat Caballé on several occasions.

The Children for Peace (ONLUS) is an Italian NGO founded with the express purpose of assisting children worldwide who are in need of fundamental survival support. It has taken on the cause of such children internationally and intends to pursue all possible avenues to provide them with the help and support that will allow for the best possible chance at a better future. Their focus is education and they have received recognition from UNESCO for their work. One project is the Montserrat Caballé Educational Scholarship for Ethiopia, which enables students from difficult backgrounds to continue with their education and create a strong foundation for a successful future.

This event is held yearly to raise money for the Rhys Daniels Trust that provides much needed ‘Home from Home’ accommodation so families can be near their very sick children receiving treatment in UK hospitals a long way from home.

Publicist Max Clifford first suggested the idea for this event 12 years ago.

Last year’s event raised £92,950 (€115,713).

While the amount raised from this year’s event is not confirmed, “there will probably be less due to fewer golfers and guests at the ball,” said organiser Patti Senker.

“The recession has affected us more this year than the past two. However, we are delighted with its success. While the participants may have been less, the passion

The 48-year-old dustman’s greeting and brief song-and-dance routine became a ritual at the Las Tablas de Valverde school – until a few days ago.

“You’re on my Facebook,” said his sister-in-law who told him she guessed it was him because of the voice.

Emilio knew that someone – either a teacher or a pupil’s mother - had videoed him two or three months earlier.

He had no idea the clip would be seen on YouTube or that he became a trending topic on Twitter.

The clip was seen in the US, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru but Emilio started to worry and asked for it to be removed.

Long wait for dog park

By Linda Hall MARBELLA’S dog-owners are still waiting for the promised park where their pets can run free without risking fines.

More than 400 owners fined in the last four months for letting their dogs off the leash maintain they are the victims of a ‘tough’ town hall campaign.

This is an old problem, said Francisco Montijano in the local Spanish Press.

A resident of Nueva Andalucia, he is spokesman for a 500-strong group petitioning for the longpromised park.

Nueva Andalucia has eight children’s playgrounds, Montijano pointed out. “Nevertheless you see

more people walking dogs than parents with prams and pushchairs,” he said.

The situation has gradually deteriorated since 2010 when police prevented them from letting their dogs run and play on nearby private land, local residents said.

“After so many promises the town hall finally promised the park would be ready before the summer but work hasn’t even begun,” complained Montijano.

Plans for a 950 squaremetre park on the Los Limoneros urbanisations have been drawn up, said Parks and Gardens Councillor Eloy Ortega.

“Now we are waiting for allocation of the €40,000 it will cost,” he explained.

Expat property buyers win victory with court ruling A COURT in Hellin (Albacete) found in favour of 47 buyers who make up the Finca Parcs Action Group (FPAG).

The court convicted jointly and individually both defendants, the developer Cleyton GES SL and Caja de Ahorros del Mediterráneo (CAM), to return the off-plan deposits paid by group members totalling almost €1.5 million for houses that were never built.

The houses were supposed to be built at the abandoned Las Higuericas, Finca Parcs’ development close to Agramón, Albacete.

The judge declared the 55 sales contracts terminated due to ‘serious breaches’ by the developer, in particular, ‘the long and indefinite delay in delivery of the properties, the failure to obtain the First Occupation Licences and the lack of bank guarantees for deposits paid by the buyers’.

The judge also stated that CAM Bank ‘failed in its legal obligations to control the use of off-plan deposits paid in advance for this development’.

VICTORY: Jaime de Castro (left) and Keith Rule outside the court.

This was revealed in a Press release issued by FPAG, which also said the judgment orders the payment of interest and costs.

In the sentence the judge states: “This is not just a simple delay in the delivery of the housing, but in this case it can be considered as an excessive delay that has obstructed the very purpose of the contract and broken mutual good faith.”

The judge quotes the testimony of the action group’s co-ordinator Keith Rule, who himself paid over €53,000 in off-plan deposits to CAM Bank, during which, when questioned by Cleyton GES, Rule said that under no circumstances would the buyers now be willing to accept a property from the 50 completed, but unlicensed, houses on Phase 1, as the delay for the buyers already amounted to

between five and seven years from signing of each individual contract.

And completion cannot be left to the discretion of the developer indefinitely.

The judgment states expressly that ‘the lack of the First Occupation Licence is attributable exclusively to the developer’ and that the lack of bank guarantees is also ‘cause for termination of the contract, since it is an obligation of legal and mandatory character’.

Jaime de Castro, lawyer for FPAG, said he was pleased with the ruling yesterday, and stressed: “It is technically flawless; it analyses all the points, leaving no gaps and has forceful arguments that make it difficult to challenge. So I think ultimately my clients will receive their refund in this case.”

As in any First Instance Court decision, the defendants have the right of appeal.

Rule said the group members were elated, but commented: “It has been a very stressful process and we have endured many years of struggle and effort to defend our rights."

Polish football break for Rajoy SPAIN’S PM Mariano Rajoy was widely criticised when he caught a plane to Gdansk for the Spain-Italy match, the day after Spain got its bail-out.

“I’m going to Poland because the situation has been resolved and because the Spanish side deserve it,” said the president before flying out to watch Spain’s first European Cup match.

The ‘situation’ Rajoy referred to is the €100 billion agreed by the Eurogroup last Saturday for recapitalising Spanish banks.

It was his first public appearance since the bail-out was announced and the decision to go to Poland earned him some criticism.

He went at the invitation of the presidents of both Poland and the European Commission, Rajoy explained. As Spain’s football team are the current World and European champions it was fitting for him to attend, he added.

Some felt he should have seen the match at home.

Hospital danger UNION CSIF has warned that part of the ceiling in the basement of the Children’s Hospital in Malaga City is in danger of collapsing, which is a danger, not only to staff, but also to patients, as it could cause the electrical supply to be cut off.

CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS: Jenni from EWN (left), with Tomas and his mum.

€150 donation for disabled lad

MUCH-APPRECIATED donations are being received to contribute to the EWN campaign to raise funds for Tomas Leighton, and we are getting closer to the target.

EWN, Tomas and his family would like to give a special thanks to the

Marbella office of global financial advice group deVere Group for their donation of €150.

Seven-year-old Tomas has cerebral palsy, is almost totally blind and has epilepsy as well as global learning difficulties.

Your help is still needed to reach the amount of €5,000, which the EWN campaign aims to raise with the help of clients and readers to make Tomas’ life a little bit easier by adapting his family’s Benalmadena home to his needs.

Future event In September this year, a sponsored swim will be held at the indoor pool at the Club de Hielo, in Benalmadena to raise funds for Tomas.

There will be no charge for use of the pool, so ALL monies raised will go straight to Tomas Leighton Care.

Sponsors are needed,

and depending on their contribution they will have a certain degree of representation in advertising before and at the event.

Confirmed sponsors include Euro Weekly News, Xanit International Hospital, Spike’s Health & Beauty, Mijas Playa Restaurant, Mayan Monkey Chocolate Factory and Club del Sol Tennis.

We are also looking for prizes for a raffle which will be held at a postswim party in Benalmadena. There will be food, drink, live entertainment and several other activities.

Please contact Jenni at tlc-charity@euroweekly news.com or on telephone (+34) 603 697 992 to find out how your company can become a Gold, Silver or Bronze sponsor, to offer raffle prizes or register to take part. Open to all ages.

“They didn’t tell me, because they knew I wouldn’t have come,” she said. Following her coronation, she told the EWN that she was pleased, but that it was, “just a bit embarrassing.”

Hundreds of people of several nationalities went to the Cabrera fiesta.

The naked truth revealed: Nudity is not illegal

Q

MS NELSON, in her recent letter to EWN, clearly does not know that in Spain, in general circumstances, it is not illegal to roam around in the nude. It is not even illegal to have sex on a public nudist beach, providing it is not in the presence of minors. Another misunderstanding by foreigners regards the laws on prostitution. In Spain, again in general, prostitution and soliciting are not illegal.

HIGH STAKES: Bishop fears gaming centre could ruin people’s lives.

A

THANK YOU, Ms Gonzalez, for your clarifications, all of which are correct. For those who may be disturbed at this permissiveness, let us amplify a little more. There is no national law in Spain which specifically prohibits nudity. In Malaga City, for example, there was a student protest against cutbacks in university funding in which students stripped naked.

However, there are many local regulations against arousing public indignation and disturbing public order by lewd behaviour, which can be interpreted widely. That is, if you wished to do your shopping in a natural state, you would probably be invited to leave the supermarket and return in a more decorous condition.

The prohibition of such activity in the presence of minors has to do specifically with exhibitionists who flaunt their private parts to schoolchildren.

Prostitution as such is not illegal. The exploitation of prostitutes for money is, however, illegal. In those highway bars, or ‘puticlubs’, the operators claim that they simply rent out rooms to the women and their clients.

It is true that Spain’s age for legal marriage, 14, is young. Most countries set 18 years of age as the minimum to contract marriage.

‘A lure in the midst of the economic crisis’ No EuroVegas backing from ‘worried’ Spanish bishop MADRID might pin its hopes on ‘EuroVegas’ millions but the Bishop of Getafe has condemned the intended gaming centre’s ‘rottenness’.

He is worried about the macrogambling centre that US mogul Sheldon Adelson is likely to build on the outskirts of Madrid, said Joaquin Maria Lopez de Andujar.

The EuroVegas project, with its six casinos, 12 hotels, dozens of restaurants, convention centre, golf courses and a sports stadium, would generate more than 260,000 jobs.

“It looks very attractive from the outside, with its promise of employment. But once inside, you see the rottenness,” the bishop claimed.

Lopez de Andujar - whose diocese is the working-class district of Getafe - is not alone in his misgivings regarding the macro-casino complex. Other Spanish bishops share his worries, he claimed.

“Until now, gambling has been quite controlled in Spain, so we are unaware of the seriousness of this problem. But now this offer comes along, a lure in the midst of the crisis,” the bishop said. “A gambler dreams of a lucky break, the unreal fantasy of activity, finance their expansion plans or acquiring money without undertake investment,’ it continued.

www.euroweeklynews.com The banking sector in Spain is right back in the spotlight, causing concern throughout Europe. According to the Bank of Spain, more than half of Spain’s €348 billion commercial real estate loans are either in foreclosure or in serious doubt of collection. The government has now admitted that it will need aid for its struggling banks.

Here’s a review of recent events.

Bankia, which was formed in 2010 from seven weak savings banks and holds more than 10% of deposits in Spain’s banking system, has the biggest exposure to bad property debt. On 7th May the finance ministry disclosed that it was preparing to refinance the bank. The Prime Minister said he no longer ruled out using taxpayers’ money to support ailing banks to avert a crisis and restore confidence.

The Bank of Spain converted its €4.5 billion interest in Bankia thereby acquiring a 45% controlling stake. It is also injecting billions of Euros into it - Bankia has asked for €19 billion.

On 11th May the government introduced new rules obliging Spanish banks to set aside an extra €30 billion in 2012 in case property sector loans go bad.

This is on top of the €53.8 billion they were asked to set aside in February.

The government will also audit banks’ exposure to the property sector and has said it would

Spain’s Banking Sector In the Spotlight

by Bill Blevins, t, Financial Corresponden Blevins Franks

force banks to move seized property assets from their balance sheets and place them in separate agencies.

Credit ratings agency Moody’s downgraded 16 Spanish banks on 17th May, citing adverse operating conditions; assetquality deterioration; restricted market funding access and the reduced ability of the Spanish government to provide support to the sector. It also downgraded Santander UK, though not as low as parent bank Banco Santander. It highlighted that the UK bank has no direct exposure to the Spanish government.

Spain’s banking sector was hit by more bad news at the end of May when data published by the Bank of Spain revealed that €97 billion in capital had been pulled out of Spain over the first quarter of the year.

On 5th June Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy finally

acknowledged that Spain was “in an extremely difficult position” and called on Europe to stand by its obligations of Euro membership. Separately, Treasury minister Cristobel Montoro said that “the market is no longer open” for Spain to raise money to refinance its debt and European institutions “must open up and help us facilitate bank recapitalisations”.

Here in Spain, as the rest of the EU, the bank deposit guarantee is €100,000. This is per depositor per each credit institution. If a bank collapses the local scheme – the Fondos de Garantia de Depositos (FDG) in Spain – will refund your savings up to the limit. If your savings exceed €100,000 you will continue as an ordinary creditor of the institution for the amount not recovered from the FGD. How much you receive and when would depend how the institution is wound up and its debts settled.

In the UK, under the Financial Service Compensation Scheme (FSCS) depositors have the first £85,000 of their savings with any one bank protected.

Bank deposits in the Channel

Islands or Isle of Man are not covered by the UK FSCS or EU rules, even if they are divisions of UK banks, and have their local guarantee schemes.

The compensation limit in the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey is £50,000. They have an overall “cap” on the amount they need to pay out.

The maximum Jersey and Guernsey will pay out is £100 million in any five year period.

If claims exceed this, compensation will be reduced pro rata. The Isle of Man’s cap is £200 million.

Jersey and Guernsey will aim to pay compensation within three months, while the Isle of Man has no time limit for payment - how much you receive and when would depend on the size of the failed bank and the amount of funding contributed to the Depositors’ Compensation Scheme.

For peace of mind, establish what protection your savings and investments have in the event of institutional failure, whatever the type and wherever they are held. It can vary considerably.

Since the 2008 credit crunch many savers have spread their

deposits over more than one banking group. Others have moved capital into alternate arrangements that provide a higher level of protection.

For example Luxembourg offers the maximum possible investor protection available to life insurance policyholders through a state sponsored investor protection regime known as “The Triangle of Security”.

If you have an investment bond issued by a Luxembourg regulated insurance company, your investment assets are completely protected should the insurance company fail.

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

Talk to a wealth management adviser like Blevins Franks to see if there are steps you can take to increase your investor protection, in line with your particular circumstances.

€50,000 fine for Vodafone

Religions fail to rate IBI

SPAIN’S data protection agency, AEPD, has fined Vodafone España €50,000 after they failed to detect a third party accessing a customer’s personal details and making changes to his account without permission.

EVANGELICALS, Jews and Muslims are seconding the Catholic Church’s resistance to paying rates (IBI).

Many cash-strapped town and city councils want the Catholic Church – one of Spain’s largest landowners – to pay. Like other recognised religions, however, it is exempt.

If the Catholic Church were to

pay IBI on buildings not used for worship, this would bring in ‘only’ an extra €5 million in Madrid, the Church argues. It would account for less than 21 per cent of rates paid in any of the country’s largest cities.

Asking for IBI ‘the way things are’, is merely a distraction, said Isaac Querub, President of the

Federation of Jewish Communities of Spain. He does not oppose discussing the topic, Querub said, but at the same time he cannot understand why some people have to pay and not others.

“We don’t understand why the Catholic Church is singled out. It’s remarkable that only one institution is mentioned,” he observed. By the

Britons move home eight times BRITISH expats in Spain are not average when it comes to moving home.

The average Brit will move house eight times over their lifetime, and end up relatively near their birthplace, a study has revealed.

Researchers found that removal vans will travel a total of 256 miles - 32 miles during each move - moving our belongings around the UK before we finally settle down into a home. And the average Brit ends up living 63 miles away from their ON THE MOVE: Brits call in the removals men eight times. birthplace, with one in five living 200 miles or more away. wanting to get away from their reasons for upping-sticks.

Moving for work, upsizing and birthplace were among the A spokesman for Bosch Power

Tools, which commissioned the research, said: ”Moving house is a huge life change and something that many people loathe doing. ”So it’s amazing to think that the average Brit is having to go through the process of packing up their belongings and moving them to another house eight times over a lifetime. ”That means packing up your things eight times, loading and unloading a van eight times as well as having to sort through your clutter each time. ”And, as the years go on, the amount of things you gather increases massively.”

same token, foundations, political parties and unions should pay IBI, too.

The federation owns four synagogues, two schools and two community buildings, but other installations are rented and do not incur IBI. In all, only a ‘few thousand euros’ would be collected.

“IBI is our only advantage,” said Riay Tatary, President of the Union of Islamic Communities in Spain. “Unions and others get subsidies. We receive nothing,” he said. Tax exemptions are also lower than elsewhere, Tatary claimed.

There are around 700 mosques in Spain, but most are rented and the mosques incorporate offices and schools, he explained.

The call for IBI payments is a deliberate distraction, agreed Mariano Blazquez, Executive Secretary of the Evangelical Federation of Spain. Dismissing it as ‘demagoguery’ the IBI issue is marginal, he claimed.

Some of the Catholic Church’s privileges are anti-constitutional, he claimed, but not exemption from IBI. “If they want to charge IBI, laws governing foundations would have to be changed.”

Answers called for IN a country where abuse of official funds runs into millions, the alleged misuse of €12,966 by Carlos Divar, head of the General Judiciary Council, is small beer. His pointblank refusal to justify claims for private jaunts is not. Judges command respect and are accustomed to asking the questions. But on this particular occasion and out of respect for the public Divar serves, answers were called for.

L etters OPINION & COMMENT

EWN

WHILE the performance of the Rojales Pantomime’s production of ‘The Wizard of OZ’ in Los Montesinos was enjoyable and entertaining, it was marred by a couple of British children.

They were left to their own devices, running up and down and clambering onto the stage, continuously shouting “I’m bored” and using foul language.

It got so bad that several members of the audience shouted at them to ‘shut up’.

They did quieten down when a member of the production came from backstage and sat behind them, but where were the parents?

In my day if I carried on like that I’d have been taken home straight away, no doubt with a clip round my ear.

I am aware that this would be considered child abuse in this day and age, but come on, parents, have some consideration for the other patrons and the actors on stage.

Well done Panto group for carrying on like true professionals; you all did an excellent job in very difficult circumstances.

C Crummings, Los Montesinos (Alicante)

Healthy lesson IT is dreadful that school dinners in Spain are laden with sugar and lack vegetables, pulses and fish (Costa del Sol, Issue 1405).

Surely helping children eat healthier will put less of a burden on the health sector when they are older as there will be fewer with obesity-related illnesses.

In which case, there should be a ruling on school dinners offering fresh foods without preservatives.

Sandra Simpson, Torrevieja (Alicante)

Keeping a budget I WOULD just like to thank Jane Plunkett for her article on making a budget (Issue 1405).

I have half-heartedly tried to keep tabs on what I spend over the years, but never seem able to follow through.

After reading her article I realised that even though it might take up some of my time, the rewards I could reap would far outweigh that.

Lap of luxury AFTER reading the front page article about the Marbella Luxury Weekend (Costa del Sol, Issue 1405) my husband and I decided to go and see what all the fuss was about.

Although we have lived on the coast for more than a decade it has been many years since we visited Puerto Banus.

It was interesting to see that many people were dressed in normal clothing, but the wealth that was on display was astounding; it was like walking into the lap of luxury, a whole different world.

While it seems sinful such money was being spent on frivolous things when so many people are struggling to make ends meet, the money is going back into the economy and to businesses that can then offer jobs.

We live in a capitalistic society, which to work needs people to spend money.

David Jenton, Mijas Costa (Malaga)

‘Disgusting’ view I FIND BB’s attitude in the letter ‘Blinkered view’ (Issue 1404) absolutely disgusting.

No wonder he or she did not have the courage to have his or her name published.

Despite living in Spain I am extremely proud to be British and equally so with regards to our heritage.

This type of letter is written by a person who typifies what is wrong with society in Great Britain and many other countries; a lack of pride and respect.

History tells us both in recent times and over the millennia that great empires have come and gone.

In the process many positives have also occurred that have also enriched and diversified our culture and everyday life.

Sure we made some mistakes along the way.

Show me somebody who would not do the same once given absolute power and I will show you someone who does not understand what and who we are.

Robert Caley, Mijas (Malaga)

Staycation time I FOUND the article about people in Malaga Province opting for ‘staycations’ (Costa del Sol, Issue 1405) very interesting.

In these tough times it makes perfect sense to holiday close to home, especially in a climate that draws millions of tourists each summer.

I find that when you live in a country you tend to see less of what is on offer than many tourists, so why not don the holidaymaker cap and go see all the tourist hotspots as well as out of the way places.

Enjoy some of the many activities on offer.

Not only will you have fun, but you will be injecting money back into your community rather than spending it further afield.

Jasmine Forrest, Estepona (Malaga)

Raising limits I REALLY hope that the Development Ministry puts the speed limit on the A7 between Mijas and Marbella up to 100km/hour from the current 80km/hour as requested by both municipalities’ town halls (Costa del Sol, Issue 1405).

Either that or reduce the charge on the toll road, or perhaps offer a reduced rate for residents.

These measures would help reduce commuting times for workers and even those who live in Mijas and who would like a quicker trip to Marbella.

LP, Mijas (Malaga)

Happy-go-looky THE article ‘Bogus items seized up by 50% in 12 months’ (Costa del Sol, Issue 1405) confirmed my suspicions that there are more looky-looky men around than there used to be.

This is probably because those that previously managed to find other jobs have lost them, finding themselves back on the street selling these counterfeit goods.

I am pretty sure that this is not their dream job and they do it out of necessity.

However, you can barely go out on the street without coming across dozens of them.

Most will move on when you say no, others are annoyingly persistent.

The nicest one I have seen was in Torremolinos.

He wore an oversized shirt and had all his wares stuffed in it, balloons held high and was singing while blowing bubbles, looking like he was having a great time.

He did not have to go up to people, they came to him.

Now that is innovative thinking.

Marta Bollard, Torremolinos (Malaga)

Bullet-proofing I WAS surprised when I read the article on police vests (Costa Blanca North, Issue 1405).

It said the Local Police force is spending €9.7 million on 20,500 bulletproof and stab vests.

I had assumed that police officers already wore them.

Surely anyone in a job that puts them in contact with criminals who can have knives and sometimes guns should automatically be issued with one.

At least now they are in less of a risky position while keeping residents safe and combating crime.

Sir Tom Jones’ voice is still magnificent but he is not exactly Mr Personality Plus, and dear old Sir Paul McCartney should really never sing in public again. I thought Madness were a poor choice to perform on the palace roof, and as for Cheryl…

With all the resources at his beck and call surely Mr Barlow could have done better than this. Where were all the dancers? The street performers, the ballet, the massed Welsh choir? Why weren’t our Olympic team paraded before the public they will shortly be representing in the Olympic Games? Where was the variety?

I’ve seen better productions than this at our local Europe Day or St George’s celebrations. Next!

A quick reply to the lady who wondered if churches would be allowed in Muslim countries, I can only re-run a story I scribed some years ago. During my time in Saudi where there were no churches, some 20 or 30 Christians began holding a small Sunday service in one of the classrooms of the local American school. Immediately it was discovered by the authorities it was not only banned, but those participating threatened with immediate deportation. I think that just about answers your question.

END COLUMN

FOR what it’s worth and at the risk of being considered an out-oftouch, senile old cynic, I thought the so-called ‘crowning glory’ of the jubilee celebrations, namely the concert in The Mall, was nothing short of pathetic.

Gary Barlow may be a member of one of the biggest boy groups in history and been reinvented as an X Factor judge, but to my mind comes out with a loud red buzzer in the production stakes.

Apart from the pyrotechnics and the magnificent back projections on the palace façade, I found the whole thing a lacklustre procession of loud pop singers, akin to what you would observe during a few hours down the karaoke pub on a Saturday night! Apart from one or two exceptions, i.e. the classical performers in the Buck House window and the Chinese pianist, I found the whole thing a mish-mash of self-indulgent dishwater.

All the usual old faces plus a couple from the new ‘in crowd title wannabees’ were trundled out to prove why they all consider they

Kids who refuse to fly the nest

LMOST three million grown-up children in Britain are refusing to leave the family home, according to the most recent statistics.

And 2.9 million adults aged 20-34 are still living with their parents (an increase of 20 per cent since 1997). Of these, one in three are men compared with one in six women.

We often read in the Press about young people who can’t afford to move out of the parental home: so-called ‘Boomerang Kids’. But move out to where? What are the choices out there?

Pay an arm and a leg as rent and make a landlord rich? Pay an arm and a leg as mortgage for some ‘bijou’ pigeon-hole somewhere and help the bank make even more money? No, little wonder they’re staying put. There simply aren’t the jobs to pay for rents or mortgages.

Reasons given for this range from immigration to the recession, to the loss of the UK’s manufacturing base, to the lack of vocational qualifications. And, yes, each plays a part in this sad saga.

Firstly, however much people may scapegoat illegal immigrants as a major cause, the problem lies equally with employers who, because of red tape and

increasing costs, won’t risk in a worsening recession, employing anyone - particularly anyone young and inexperienced - who knows nothing about their business.

And then there’s the loss of the UK’s manufacturing base. The British workforce is low-skilled now because, for a couple of generations, there have been no skilled jobs for which to train, as the industries that needed skills have disappeared. Instead, people have been trained to sell mobiles and iPads or act as Customer Service/Call Centre advisors.

A lack of vocational qualifications also plays a role. Too many young people get educated in subjects not related to the job market. Britain needs a workforce

with work-related qualifications.

So, this year, not only are more young people unable to get jobs, but also unable to move out of the family home. With the result that more and more parents will be running round and round in ever decreasing circles, like demented whippets on crack bringing up kids who’ll, in turn, inflict their inability to take care of themselves on their own spouses.

Unsurprising then they’re called Boomerang Kids.

A saucy opportunity

W

HEN it comes to new foodie products there isn’t much that gets past Lynn McLean, which is why she could not resist becoming involved with the sales and marketing in Spain of The Delicious Sauce Co. Six original and versatile flavours made with the finest natural ingredients, vegan and vegetarian friendly with the additional benefit of being gluten-free.

The flavours are: Non-Smokey Chilli BBQ Sauce; Chilli Pineapple Sauce; Chilli Piri Sauce; Chilli Mint Sauce; Chilli Guava Sauce and, finally, the fiery Chilli Piri Extra Hot Sauce. Also there are new, delicious flavours being developed for savoury relishes and jams that will be available soon.

Lynn got so excited about the sauces she decided to spread the word.

“Everyone who is interested in food and new, fresh flavours will want to experiment with new recipes especially here in Spain where the weather permits us to BBQ regularly and create flavour-packed salads.”

Lynn hopes to get people with a genuine interest in food to take up the opportunity to sell the sauces in Spain exclusively.

47

TASTY: Lynn with two of the sauces.

“Obviously I love the product but it is a great business opportunity for foodies and entrepreneurs. We provide a stand, clothing and as much ongoing support as you need with recipe leaflets, etc.

“I have already had enquiries from people who want to join our team of salespeople, one from Barcelona which is perfect as I am so lucky to have the sole trading rights for the

whole of Spain so I can control the distribution fairly.”

Amongst the many recipes that Lynn has tried and tested are: Chilli potato cakes, Chilli Guava pasta & Radish salad, Lamb chops marinated in the deliciously mild Chilli mint sauce, Homemade coleslaw with Chilli Pineapple sauce, potato salad spiced up with the Chilli Piri sauce.

Lynn has already done her own market research and feels that the market is ready for these tasty additions to the store cupboard, and says the products speak for themselves.

For an investment of €4,500, you receive €4,560 worth of stock, all the equipment to get started, and all marketing material and back-up support.

So if you think you’ve got what it takes and would like to be part of the team and with the knowledge that there is only one team in Spain selling Delicious Sauce Co. sauces, get in touch with Lynn.

The world is your oyster… with some Delicious Sauce Co. sauce, naturally.

Getting lost Different day, in translation same old news

By EWN reporter Benny Davis MY office received a Spanish Press release from the local ayuntamiento, which according to the accompanying online English translation was entitled ‘World Day without Snuff’.

It went on to explain that backed by local government departments and the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AEEC), the council was launching a campaign to persuade addicts to break the habit and advise children not to get involved. It listed events that would take place including free lung function tests and a ‘Hall of Snuff’ mobile exhibition visiting schools. To underline the seriousness of the anti-snuff message, local councillor Sivera Pepa explained the aim of the campaign “is to remind young people that snuff is the leading cause of preventable death in the world.” A perplexing message as snufftaking is considered to be almost ancient history and virtually an unknown substance to the average young person.

It also raised the question, would this

travelling ‘Hall of Snuff’ actually produce the reverse effect and introduce children to a cheaper nicotine alternative to cigarettes? Attempts to clarify the release further with Denia Town Hall in the Costa Blanca failed as they considered the content to be selfexplanatory and saw no reason to question their drive against ‘smoking’.

Fortunately, the word ‘smoking’ provided the clue that unlocked the ‘snuff’ mystery. It all came down to translation. After checking the original Spanish version, it was apparent that the translation service decided the Spanish word ‘tabaco’ became ‘snuff’ in English.

In actual fact, the event was an antismoking campaign, ‘World Day without Tobacco’. A simple error that unfortunately changed the course of an entire Press release which, if published, would no doubt have caused disastrous results for all concerned.

The lesson learnt is simple. Treat all Spanish to English web translations with a pinch of snuff - sorry - salt.

M

INING for stories unconnected to the dire state of the Spanish economy or corruption is becoming tediously futile.

Of 36 main nonsport stories in El Pais , Spain’s foremost national daily newspaper, no less than 22 are depressingly related to either the economic downturn or corruption

in high places.

At least the children are in high spirits.

Malaga’s Parque Clavero College has been fined by the city hall for excessive noise coming from the school’s gymnasium and dining rooms.

This despite the school having shelled out €6,000 on soundproofing.

I would have thought that such installation would have been much more appropriate on Spain’s parliamentary building.

Tragic loss for football THIS is not an obituary column but the premature death of one of the Spanish League’s most admired football trainers is a matter of much sadness. Manolo Preciado died of a heart attack at just 54 years of age. His death occurred

within hours of him signing for Villareal. As the saying goes, live every day as if it is your last; one day you will be right.

This gifted exponent of another of Spain’s great sporting success stories will be missed.

Charity Family Fun Day 2012 a big hit AS Britons around the world celebrated the Diamond Jubilee, one inland corner of the Costa del Sol managed to pull off a hugely successful event, combined with raising much needed funds for local charities.

The Charity Family Fun Day was held at Lauro Golf Academy and saw representatives from 17 charity groups take part including the Brownies, PAD and Tomas Leighton, CHAIN, Age Concern, Cudeca, Ray of Light, 4 Paws Adoption, AID, LIVE, Debra, Dental Mavericks, Old War Veterans, Royal British Legion, ARCH, Alzheimer’s and the Scouts.

By running games and activities including Hook a Duck, Treasure Hunt, Tombola and selling cupcakes, between them they raised more than €1,800 for their own individual registered charities.

Another 30 businesses also attended to promote their company or sell products ranging from shoes to homemade soaps.

Meanwhile, other activities on the day included a traditional sports day for the children organised by RoundaboutSpain.com.

This event attracted more than 140 children to register for the various races, a junior putting competition, bouncy castles, face painting, fashion show and a dance display by the Costa All Stars Cheerleading group plus a Wildside Survival workshop.

The event was hosted

by Heart FM’s Lee Jay

and ended with live music from Costa Rock.

Roy Trevor Removals collected three large packing boxes of donated foodstuffs on the day, which will be donated to the local Caritas (food banks).

The organisers also added a further €450 to this cause from donations and fundraising on the day.

They now hope to at least double this amount through sponsorship from a local business or supermarket, which will allow them to donate a good quantity of foodstuffs to local, needy families.

If you can help make this happen, please contact us on 608 840 692 or email: familylifeinspain@gmail. com.

Although it was a predominantly British event, families of all nationalities supported the fun day with over 1,000 visitors through gates.

The children took full advantage of running freely and safely on the green golf range area.

In fact, the event was such a huge success there have been calls to make it an annual event.

Organiser, Lisa Sadleir of FamilyLifeinSpain. com, said: “We worked really hard to make this a fun packed family day and I think we achieved that judging by the response.

“The children were kept entertained and so were the adults. I think we did the Jubilee celebrations proud and we raised money for several charities at the same time.

“We are already planning ideas for next year.”

RITAIN’S Royal Navy broke a 500-year taboo by giving Lt Commander Sarah West command of the front-line warship HMS Portland, a frigate more powerful than the whole of Lord Nelson’s fleet.

A decision that will no doubt get Nelson’s friend, the Earl Saint Vincent, turning somersaults in his grave as like all other officers of that period, he was totally against women going to sea, largely due to ‘their washing their clothes in the ship’s fresh water’.

In truth, questions about courage and skill were already proven, given heroic archetypes like Grace Darling, the lifeboat pioneer, and a boatload of

Serenade of the Seas sails out of Barcelona on 12-night cruises until the end of September.

successful pirates from Anne Bonny to Lady Killigrew and Grace O’Malley, whose crew of 200 men was even larger than HMS Portland’s.

In 2007, Royal Caribbean Cruise International made history by appointing Karin Stahre-Janson as the first woman ever to be in charge of a major cruise ship.

A native of Stromstad, Sweden, Karin learned to sail at the age of seven in a small boat given to her by her parents.

She graduated from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden with a bachelor’s degree in Nautical Science and obtained her Unlimited Masters Licence, enabling her to command virtually any ship of any size.

Karin then worked for nine years in cargo shipping, primarily on petroleum and chemical tankers In 1997, she joined Royal Caribbean as a first officer.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting the lady on while on-board the Serenade of the Seas, sailing out of Barcelona.

Though virtually committed from dawn

Karin Stahre-Janson made nautical history when she was appointed captain of cruise ship Serenade of the Seas. Sailing out of Barcelona, Benny Davis went to see what makes her so unique.

World’s first female cruise ship captain

to dusk, this likeable ship’s master agreed to give me some of her precious time.

Q: When did you get your first job at sea?

A: I had just turned 19. It was a small petroleum tanker. I painted chipped rust, scrubbed the decks and whatever needed to be done. I loved it and enrolled in cadet school.

You were a woman breaking into a very male-dominated world. Was there resistance?

I am not a feminist, but I don’t back down because I know my job. I just put my own female twists and turns into the command.

What do you think has held women back from commanding a cruise ship until now?

Back in the ’40s and ’50s, it was hard, muscular work, and very maledominated. These days it’s all about brains and knowledge, although I could put quite a few of my fellow mariners down without breaking sweat.

How does the crew react?

I have worked in a variety of Royal Caribbean officer-related roles since 1997 and many mariners were old friends. Also our guests are very positive. I had an old lady the other day pat me on the head, which is hard since I’m 5’11”!

What is your average day on board?

I get up at 4.30am and if in port, prepare the ship to sail. Then check ship’s speed, position and daily log. I also hold many meetings, attend dinners, special passenger ceremonies and apart from fire, ship’s damage and extreme weather conditions, these days a ship’s captain also has to be aware of any terrorist threats.

What do you do in your spare time?

I retire to my parents’ summer house in Sweden, do some carpentry, painting and then take off on my motorcycle on my own, although I usually team up other enthusiasts while on my travels. I also like to scuba dive all over the world.

Truly a dog’s life Deep in the midst of the Spanish countryside, hunting dogs have been found hanging. Jane Plunkett looks into the life of a typical hunting hound…

HILE playing catch with Rover, the typical, lovable, tail-wagging household hound, it’s hard to imagine animal cruelty. But cuddles and chasing after balls isn’t the fate of all dogs in Spain.

For a percentage of hunting dogs life is a lot tougher. It’s a horrific existence that often ends dramatically by being thrown down a well to die, or being hung from a tree, with the back legs barely touching the ground, in order to die by suffocation.

According to animal rights organisations, as well as numerous personal witness accounts, hunting dogs, like Galgos (greyhounds) and Podencos, are terribly abused, CARED FOR: Hunting dogs with neglected and abandoned. They are claimed to be seen as simply a tool for hunters that can be the problem. discarded of when no longer The sad destiny of many needed. hunting dogs was first observed It was this widespread cruelty, by 36-year-old Brit, Shane and the apathy of police and Stewart, while he was living in government to do Tenerife. anything about it, “A hunter lived which prompted beside me in Hunters Fermin Perez, a Tenerife and he dispose of local secondary kept Podenco 50,000 dogs school science dogs.

Many people still fear that hunting dogs can’t be good domestic pets; a perception that PAWS is keen to squash.

Indeed the very first PAWS dogs to be re-homed abroad were two little Galgo puppies taken to Holland in August 1999.

“It is such a tragedy that these dogs in particular should be treated so appallingly,” said PAWS spokesperson Mike Dornan.

“Anyone who has ever had firsthand experience of Galgos knows they make good pets although they do need a lot of exercise!”

As Spanish bankers make headline news, we turn the spotlight on Simon Ruiz, a 16th century wool merchant from the Castilla-Leon region, who set up an international wholesale trading system which has had a decisive influence on modern banking.

Simon Ruiz...

Where are you?

Jack Gaioni

Consider This

US citizen Jack is spending the first years of his retirement in Almeria. His articles have been published in Spain and the US.

LIKE many other dealers in commodities like silk, jewellery, spices, foodstuffs, among others, Simon Ruiz exhibited his goods in what became known as the Fairs at Medina del Campo, near Salamanca.

Favourably located at the crossroads of various Castilian trade routes, and at a time of heightened trade with the Americas, these fairs became a thriving Pan-European market exchange.

For two centuries these annual fairs were of national and international importance in commodity trading and later in the creation of modern banking systems.

What separated Simon Ruiz from other agents was his propensity to establish strong personal connections. He visited his buyers in their home countries. He got to know their families. He got to know their markets and their capacity to finance.

Strengthened by this travel and knowledge, he expanded his product line at the Medina Fairs to include copper, gold, firearms and art treasures.

By 1561, he had made a substantial fortune. Key to his financial successes, however, was his creative use of an economic model which has become known as ‘letters of exchange’.

For centuries, buy/sell transactions at the Medina Fairs had been conducted using a cumbersome exchange of hard cash currencies usually involving the unsavoury practice of ‘usury’ or lending at a high

rate of interest. Additionally, an untrustworthy system of weights and measurements had developed.

Ruiz used his strong personal friendships to utilise ‘letters of exchange’, a system of transactions based on trust, collateral and credit history. This new financial instrument enabled dealers to endorse credit, send notice letters of inventory, control large orders and time payments. For example, with a letter of exchange, a merchant in Antwerp could promise a customer in London 300 pieces of gold ‘the value to be determined and remitted at the Medina Fair’.

At the height of the classical fairs, bankers from all over Europe would meet yearly to determine the relative value of their currencies and as a clearing house of loans for one another. Equally important and, thanks to the successes of Ruiz’s letters of exchange model, was the establishment of an agreed-upon codified system of weights and measurements that transcended political boundaries.

Simon Ruiz thought outside the box. From him, a modest wool-

trader, a new economic paradigm was created.

It does not take an investment expert to notice that there exists today a tension between those voices that are in favour of the austerity versus those who favour governmental stimulated growth.

Witness the situation here in Spain, in Greece, and within the wider eurozone.

Differing economic systems, currencies and business practices have come and gone. Today, more than ever, these economic systems have seemingly failed to deliver.

Macroeconomic truths are hard to come by. We seem to be groping for a new political language to understand which elements of macroeconomic legacy to preserve and what to jettison.

Perhaps a new road map, a change of psychology, or new alignments between governments, taxpayers, bankers and consumers is necessary for a better adapted economic life form.

Dare I say, a new economic paradigm is needed. Simon Ruiz… where are you?

HISTORIC: Las Reales Carnicerias, built in 1500 to sell meat to fair-goers.

About Medina del Campo TODAY, Medina del Campo is a small pueblo with much to see.

Located midway between Valladolid and Salamanca, it is home to museums, castles, ancient walls, and Celtic and Roman ruins. Many buildings of artistic interest hold official Heritage status. They were promoted by those who prospered by the Fairs at Medina.

The Museum of The Fairs for example was created to exhibit items connected with the open market stalls. La Casa del Peso (House of Pounds) was established to guarantee official weights and measurements. Las Reales Carnicerias was built in 1500 and used for the sale of meat to fair-goers. It is the only historical building of this type in the world still used for its original purpose.

The Hospital of Simon Ruiz contains many of his personal effects. In nearby Valladolid, the Provincial Historic Archive contains files of over 56,000 business letters, receipts and inventories many of which reference Ruiz’s ‘letters of exchange’.

Siesta essential if you want to party all night

MUST be a tramp, because - as Tony Bennett proclaimed - I get ‘too hungry for dinner at 8’, so it was with some trepidation that my husband and I accepted our first invitation to dinner in Mallorca.

Boxes and bags barely unpacked, we bid farewell around 7pm to the solemn troop of children and dog, while the new babysitter jovially waved goodbye, telling us not to worry.

A little early, perhaps, but then there may be traffic en route to the gastronomic restaurant in Palma.

Plain sailing and some 30 minutes later, we are twiddling our G&Ts in the bar - just the two of us - the actual reservation time a little vague and still some way off.

By 8.30pm, we have discovered the reason tapas were invented: to keep people like us from starving to death while waiting. Tick, tock and still no sign of our new Spanish friends.

On my third G&T, I have struck up a lifelong friendship with the longsuffering bartender, who suddenly looks like George Clooney. My jokes are top of the range; at least I am laughing like a hyena; but Pedro (I think that is his name) and my husband exchange knowing glances.

SIESTA TIME: A good idea if you wish to join in with the Spanish late evenings. plant in the right spot after a soaking of gin.

They certainly don’t skimp on the measures Swedish-born Ulrica is a here. Oh, well, culinary freelance journalist living in salvation is surely within Mallorca with her family. Her debut novel $Expat Wives is reach now?! available on Amazon and iBooks.

university days. It was illadvised then, too.

Round 1 in the madrugada, as it is so eloquently called here, the livening effects of the drinks are wearing off and stifling yawns is my main preoccupation. The box of matches tentatively catches my eye; maybe I could prop up the lids so as not to fall asleep and snore in one of the finest establishments in Mallorca? Even a double espresso falls short of

relighting my fire.

“The night is young!” my fellow guests exclaim, insisting on a round of curious little drinks called hierbas. At 2am we shamefully saunter back into the house to the chirpy babysitter professing “You're early!”

The next morning my surprisingly lively dinner friends call me - from work to explain how we had missed a fabulous night of dancing until the amanecer and how next time, we really must join them.

I start to think that my new fellow countrymen have super powers and, unlike the rest of humanity, survive on a mere two hours sleep.

If there were a score for stamina, mine would surely be C: ‘must try harder’.

Something has to be done to adjust to this new nocturnal world.

I had always thought the siesta allowed the residents of such a balmy country to seek rest and shade during the hottest hours, but having endured a Mallorcan winter, this is not the whole story. So next time I am preparing to party all night, I, too, shall add a wee nap to my repertoire and be able to have dinner at 11pm like the best of the rest, regardless of what Tony Bennett has to say on the subject.

Laujar de Andarax: A turbulent history

LAUJAR DE ANDARAX is a town in the Alpujarras Almeriense with a special charm and a turbulent history.

It nestles in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Opposite are the mountains of the Sierra de Gádor whilst a fertile valley separates the two mountain ranges. It is a delightful setting.

Laujar is located near the source of the Andarax River that provides water for the numerous fountains in the town.

Almeria There are a Robert is an English writer of travel books. He has lived in Roquetas de number of fine Mar (Almeria) with wife Diane since 2003. buildings too http://bob.robertbovington.net/spain/home and none more so than its principal church, Iglesia Parroquial de la Encarnación.

Dating from the 17th century, this Mudéjar building with a Baroque finish is quite attractive. Inside, are paintings from the Dutch school.

The church is known as the ‘Cathedral of Alpujarra'. I am not sure whether it is because TOWN HALL: Just one of Laujar’s many fine buildings. of its large size or because of its history. the first Moorish revolt. What I Later, from 1568-71, there It was built on the do know is that the entire was a second Alpujarras foundations of a mosque. I do Moorish population was obliged rebellion. not know if it was the original to convert to Christianity or The leader of this revolt was mosque which was set on fire in leave the kingdom.

and proclaimed himself as his uncle’s successor. He established the capital of his kingdom in Laujar.

Following many bloody battles, the moriscos were finally expelled from the

Alpujarras. This town, like many others, was left deserted for many years until people from outside the Kingdom of Granada repopulated it.

Today, Laujar de Andarax is a thriving town and it is still a capital city - the capital of the Alpujarra of Almería.

It is well known for its wine and there are a number of bodegas locally that welcome visitors.

It is one of the most accessible places in the Alpujarras being only a twoand-a-half-hour drive from the Costa del Sol. I frequently visit the Alpujarras and often go to Laujar to purchase some of its local produce, particularly honey and the delicious soplillos, which are chewy meringues made with almonds.

However, there is another reason I visit the town. About one kilometre north of Laujar is ‘El Nacimiento’, a delightful area of waterfalls, picnic areas and places to walk.

My wife and I usually go there in Spring and Autumn on weekdays and, mostly, we have the place to ourselves. It is a haven of peace and tranquillity.

Nacimiento means ‘birth’ and it is here that the Río Andarax starts its journey to the sea near Almería.

Was this when the slide began?

T

HE British National Service - which many of the older readers of this paper will remember - was the topic of discussion on a recent radio programme.

The National Service involved conscription for military training for all young males when they reached the age of 18.

It was a hangover from the Conscription Act of 1939, itself an appendix to the Conscription Act of 1916, which had been pushed through parliament at a time when the numbers of volunteers proved insufficient for the Jim prosecution of what came Collins to be known as ‘The Great War’.

The idea was to keep the armed forces up to strength as wartime servicemen were released back into civilian life, and although it might appear now as rather over-the-top, Britain at that time still maintained a military presence in the Far East, the Middle East, Africa and Central America, whilst the Royal Navy had warships serving in just about every ocean.

The radio presenter, in talking about this period, invited callers to phone in with their memories of how they had felt about leaving home to don the khaki or blue, and whether they now considered their period of military

Costa Blanca

NATIONAL SERVICE: Turning boys into men or a waste of time? service a wasteful loss never to be regained, or a time of growing in maturity from boys of 18 into young men of 20.

The majority of callers had served during the late 50s or the very early 60s, with their memories and experiences differing so greatly from mine of 1947, that I began to wonder what could possibly have happened during the 10 or 15 years that separated

us, to have produced such a change in perspective. Clearly, life in the armed forces was much the same; the bullying tactics of the drill corporals and sergeants being exactly as I remembered - perhaps they were even the same people - but the memories of those suffering under their ‘ministrations’ seemed to belong to a different world.

“They shouted, and made us cry,”

complained many of the 50s’ intakes, yet they were lads of 18, like many of the Battle of Britain pilots and bomber aircrews of earlier years.

We of the 40s’ intake hated the bullying, but we certainly didn’t cry.

Penniless in the barracks, our reaction was to spend many satisfying hours plotting how we might murder our tormentors and get away with it.

Such a step was never seriously considered, of course, but the planning was a good, perhaps cathartic, way of passing the time.

Later, having got over the initial shock, we came to understand the need for discipline and took pride in the progress of our ‘Flight’ towards achieving first place in the ‘Passing-out Parade’.

Others of the 50s told the listening public that they spent their first nights in barracks crying with homesickness. Oh, dear, poor things! My memories of that first night are of young lads entering upon an adventure, lying in their narrow, iron bunks and telling non-stop dirty jokes until four in the morning.

What was the cataclysmic event during the 50s that destroyed so much of the natural exuberance and spirit of 18-year-olds? Were the young men of that period spoiled by over-protective parents?

Was this where Britain’s slide into mediocrity began?

Not that I am suggesting analysing a person based solely on their selection of finger food, but as a test of personality it is as valid as The Myers, Briggs, and has the added bonus of including a couple of sandwiches and a Crème Caramel as part of the process.

Perhaps recruiting companies could lay on a wedding style spread and watch as the candidates devour or not devour the feast in front of them. This would be akin to observing lessons in a school or an obstacle course at an SAS induction day.

The Buffet: a whole new degree subject could emerge attached loosely to the psychology department; The Buffet and 20th Century Indicators of Psychosis, Finger Food and Freud 101.

Imagine the learned tomes: Vol au Vent and The Violent Mind or The Man Who Thought He Was a Thousand Island Dip. Personality types could be: The Ploughman: paper plate held in front of him as he tenaciously works his way from start to end of the buffet then back again.

The Secret Agent: creeps to the middle of the table snatching food and hiding the plate from view. The Super Model: Impossibly thin drooling by the desserts while clutching a plate of lettuce. The Memsahib: usually a mother who sends her children/husband/best friend to fetch her food while sitting regally to the side.

Confident people tend to stride forward, take what they want, then sit down and eat. Shy people are mortified by the social side of a buffet and leave hungry.

Suzanne Manners

CHOICE: One can learn a lot from how a person approaches a buffet.

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

The satisfying delights of ‘buffet watching’ There are those who pile plates high with more food than they could eat, much to the chagrin of the more polite diners, who have just watched as the last of the King Prawns disappears ahead of them.

The sight of well fed humans eyeing the buffet table with emotions ranging from panic to sheer sexual excitement brings joy

to my heart. I love a good buffet.

Humanity stripped bare by the sight of a cocktail sausage pinging across a covered trestle table like a little pork bullet. The tear-jerking wonder of a cheese cube and silver skin onion kebab skewered on sticks into a grapefruit.

Vol au vent, those wonders that let the

host skimp on prawn cocktail and coronation chicken.

So in light of this research I have invented a new set of personality tests.

There is the Bridge Roll and Fish Paste Indicator and the Balancing Warm Beer in a Paper Cup on a Paper Plate Causality Test. Enjoy!

Time Out A murderer’s dark climb to the top

10-star quiz

1h42m Director: Asger Leth Starring: Sam Worthington, Elizabeth Banks, Jamie Bell, Anthony Mackie

BOOKS books@euroweeklynews.com

THIS is the story of Tony Tuesday, a London-born man who leaves the army in 1946, and builds a business empire. He murders his way to the top.

The story meanders to the 1980s. He literally eliminates anyone who gets in his way, and even disposes of two wives who displease him, or when a younger more attractive model comes along.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Energy levels go up and down and you seek to ration yours by not going all-out physically. It is still possible to be quite dynamic while planning. Indeed, your clear vision impresses a colleague. If you are due for promotion then some good news is likely. Blow your own trumpet rather than wait for others to do it for you.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) The changes affecting you for the past few weeks continue but you are now getting better at managing their direction.

Someone wanting you to take a logical action should not be allowed to push you forward.

When to act will be clear to you.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Someone who has been unhelpful in the past suddenly steps forward. Could you have been wrong about them? Probably not. Keep a clear mind when with them. Saturn influences you to be more organised before a bout of indecision strikes.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) The influence of Venus and Jupiter brings you the influence and status that you deserve. It's not that you haven't worked towards it but now you start to see the benefits.

There is an urge to improve your appearance and surroundings to fit in with the 'new you'.

IF ITʼS YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK: Your flexibility stands you in good stead in this last half of the year. Not only does it see you able to take opportunities at short notice but it also boosts your psychic energy. Others may not come up to expectations and there are times when it is best to 'go it aloneʼ.

He starts off by selling stolen army staff cars. He then burgles the local Coop and steals a safe, and then murders his two accomplices so he can keep all the money from the robbery. He buys some cut-price terraced houses in need of repair with the

Y our S tars

proceeds, and so begins his dark climb to the top.

His empire encompasses property in the main, but he also has a major stake in timeshare resorts around Europe and it is the modus operandi he uses to fulfil his ambitions that is the thrust of the book.

His murderous, underhand deeds show him to be a monster, but a very clever one. An unexpected finale awaits.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23)

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21)

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)

During the past few weeks you may have gained a different perspective on life. Your need for a close attachment and harmony in your life should not be underestimated or denied in the name of practicality.

There is an all-consuming need to see some reward for all your efforts. There will be those who will tell you that you need to push harder for success. Perhaps you need to be with more like-minded people. Certainly being with the wrong colleagues can bring your spirits down.

You are in a romantic mood but something is missing from the picture.

Its not that youʼre feeling the need to have more than one string to your bow, it is more that you are tired of using the same old arrows. So, what is out there to fire your imagination? Something really new will not miss the mark with you.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20)

PISCES (February 20 - March 20)

When needed you are sure to be positive this week. On a project, 'striking while the iron is hot' springs to mind.

There is much fun to hand but it must be 'work first' at the moment. Some opportunities do not come twice and you need to be aware of them when they present themselves. Spend some quality time with your loved ones.

This is a brilliant week for money and business. Mars is influencing you to be more up-front and practical in your approach. You may feel changes coming on that you would rather deny. Burying your head in the sand is not an option. Take the bull by the horns and you could be surprised at your success.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) To be truly happy you need to build on your partnerships. Keep these in balance and everything else will fall into place. Life has taught you some rather harsh lessons recently. The upshot of that is you now feel more in control and more secure.

ARIES (March 21 April 20)

Just joking One sodium atom says: “Oh, no! I think I lost an electron.” Another atom asks: “Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I’m positive!” *** Smart man + smart woman = romance Smart man + dumb woman = affair Dumb man + smart woman = marriage Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy *** Q. Where would you find a dog without legs?

A. Where you left him. *** Person 1: My dog has got no nose Person 2: How does he smell?

Person 1: Awful.

You will see the lighter side of life this week when you discover that someone is holding a torch for you. You are flattered and vaguely interested. Your combination of intelligence and humour make you a delightful companion. Venus smiles on all your close relationships and you seem to be able to do no wrong.

There is much to be tackled this week, but you are wary of making full-on decisions. Taking things one step at a time is the best policy because it gives you space to consider the options.

There is a restlessness about you that is hard to pinpoint.

Perhaps you are feeling positive but have to hold fire because of others. This is frustrating, but try to relax.

By Estelle Mitchel www.thebodyworksclinic.com zigzag patterns or blind spots in your vision â&#x20AC;˘ Stiffness â&#x20AC;˘ A tingling sensation or pins and needles in your neck or shoulders â&#x20AC;˘ Feeling disoriented or off balance â&#x20AC;˘ Difficulty speaking â&#x20AC;˘ Poor concentration As well as the pain, which can last up to 72 hours, some people also have nausea and an increased sensitivity to light, sound or smells during a migraine.

Triggers: â&#x20AC;˘ Stress â&#x20AC;˘ Poor sleep â&#x20AC;˘ Tension in your neck and shoulders â&#x20AC;˘ Certain food or drink â&#x20AC;&#x201C; commonly chocolate, cheese, alcohol, caffeine â&#x20AC;˘ Loud noises â&#x20AC;˘ Bright or flickering lights â&#x20AC;˘ Certain smells â&#x20AC;˘ Strenuous exercise if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not used to it â&#x20AC;˘ Skipping meals â&#x20AC;˘ Dehydration Other less common triggers may include high blood pressure, smoking, toothache, eye strain or taking certain sleeping tablets.

You may find it useful to keep a diary to spot the triggers that cause your migraines. Remember that triggers are layers of irritation, so something that was not a trigger previously can become one if combined with other factors such as stress, poor posture or injury.

The more layers you add the more likely that something small like a piece of chocolate will cause a migraine; address the root causes and you reduce the impact of other triggers.

Mechanical causes Recent research suggests that neck issues are one of the major causes of

migraines. In reality migraines are caused by nerve irritation, normally the trigeminal or occipital nerve.

As I have discussed before, all nerves run through the neck so any muscle constriction or tension in the neck will place strain on these nerves which, when combined with other triggers, causes a migraine. Resolve the neck problem, reduce the irritation and therefore reduce the likelihood of a migraine.

This flies in the face of previous thinking which was primarily based on research done in the 1840s!

Because many sufferers described the pain as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thumpingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, researchers believed the problem to be vascular

Nausea and increased sensitivity to light, sound or smells can also be experienced during an attack and this is what many medications unsuccessfully tried to treat.

But do be careful as treatment must be gentle.

Your practitioner must be experienced and qualified as it is common to trigger a migraine during treatment and they must be able to turn the migraine off.

Hormones Three times as many women as men suffer from migraines. Women often get migraines around the time of their periods, during pregnancy or menopause, or as a result of taking oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy.

Recent studies are demonstrating that acupuncture can have a very positive effect on managing migraines, especially when related to hormonal fluctuations.

HEALTHY: Eat fresh fruit and vegetables and stay active for longer life.

Longer-living ladies eat well and stay fit E

LDERLY women who eat a good diet and stay physically active live longer.

Women in their 70s who ate plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and exercised lived five years longer than those who were sedentary and ate little fresh produce, a study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society found.

Researchers in America at the University of Michigan and Johns Hopkins University analysed data from 713 women aged 70 to 79.

They measured blood levels of carotenoids; the more fruits and vegetables eaten, the higher the levels in the bloodstream.

Physical activity was measured through a questionnaire, which was converted into the number of calories used.

The ladies were followedup five years later to establish the links between

healthy eating, exercise and survival rates. It was found that 11.5 per cent of the women in the study had died, but carotenoid levels in the survivors were 12 per cent higher and physical exercise was twice as high.

Women in the most active group had a 71 per cent lower five-year death rate than those in the least active group.

Those in the highest carotenoid group had a 46 per cent lower five-year death rate than women in the lowest carotenoid group.

However, too much exercise can ‘hurt the heart’ and cause dangerous longterm harm, another study found. The safe ‘upper limit’ for heart health is a maximum of an hour a day, after which there is little benefit to the individual.

“Physical exercise, though not a drug, possesses many traits of a

powerful pharmacologic agent,” said lead study author Dr James O’Keefe of Saint Luke’s Hospital of Kansas City (US). This is often known as ‘runner’s high’.

It is believed this evolved as an evolutionary ‘carrot’ to keep people moving, scientists from the University of Arizona (US) say.

Our hunter-gatherer ancestors would have travelled long distances every day.

“Aerobic activity has played a role in the evolution of lots of different systems in the human body, which may explain why aerobic exercise seems to be so good for us,” said Professor David Raichlen.

Previous research has shown that humans evolved from ape-like ancestors because they needed to run long distances, perhaps to hunt animals.

Exercising to lose weight need not be a painful experience!

A

COMMON question asked by new members in class is: “Do I have to exercise?”

I think most of us know and that along with a healthy eating programme, exercise is important. I agree that some type of exercise is good for you, although I’m certainly not the prime example! I keep thinking of joining a gym, I even dream about it but every

BY LESLEY TAYLOR time I do, I get worn out at the thought. Perhaps www.w8-matters.com // 654 865 157 after the summer...

But you don’t have to join a gym, there are plenty of other ways to exercise your body, although I must stress here, before Many overweight people can manage a embarking on any type of physical exertion walk with ease so perhaps it’s a good it is always advisable to seek your doctor’s starting point. But remember to keep approval. yourself well covered up and hydrated if In my view the best exercises to start off you are out in the hot sun. with are walking and swimming, especially Swimming is one of the most enjoyable if you are carrying a few extra pounds. and effective exercises.

SWIMMING: A great way to exercise. suitable for those overweight, the elderly; actually, everyone. It is great for those who can no longer bear the high impact and joint stress of running and jogging.

You do not have the same stress placed on your joints while you are in the water but will still increase your range of motion.

The resistance of the water as you push your arms and legs through it helps to strengthen muscles and joints, without putting too much pressure on them. I’m sure the buoyancy factor makes swimming

the most injury-free sport there is.

If you fancy joining a gym, or a dance class, I’m sure the instructor would advise you on what would be the most suitable and safest form for you.

There is a fun way to exercise with the whole family and that’s by using the exercise gadgets you see in parks and along the sea-front.

I just hate watching those celebrity ‘fit camp’ type of programmes on TV that show someone of 10 stone overweight being made to run a long distance. You can see they are ready to pass out. Some even end up crying. Imagine putting that type of pressure on your joints, knees, ankles, etc. Sorry, but I believe it’s better to lose the weight first by sticking to a healthy eating plan (with moderate exercise) and then tone up your body.

At present my two favourite exercises are head-shaking - saying ‘No’ to foods that will sabotage my weight loss efforts and the second eating - only healthy foods that will help my weight loss - after all, I am exercising my mouth muscles!

Until next time.

Take care and have a nice week, Lesley x Any questions, please contact me on 654 865 157 or visit w8-matters.com

Fight your fate – joint pain At every point in your body where two bones meet, there is a joint - there are about 230 joints in the body including all the discs in the spine, and if you run into trouble, these can hurt!

INFLAMMATION: When the cartilage layer inside the joint is worn down, bones rub against each other.

CHERRY POWER: The antioxidants contained in cherries are incredibly potent at fighting the inflammation that aggravates arthritis.

Take fish oil to reduce risk

A

CCORDING to research from Arthritis UK, diets high in Omega 3 reduce the risk of arthritis by 50 per cent! Just make sure you don’t combine with Omegas 6 and 9, which counter the benefit.

Shoes

If you do high impact sport always wear a good pair of well cushioned shoes to protect your joints from shock. Only wear very high or very flat shoes for short periods as they put additional pressure on joints. If your feet

Pop a cherry

The antioxidants in cherries are incredibly potent at fighting the inflammation that aggravates arthritis. So enjoy cherries while they are in season and then try juice or a supplement.

By Estelle Mitchel www.thebodyworksclinic.com

Turn air blue Swearing makes you feel better! A new study shows that swearing means you can bear pain for longer as it brings on the ‘fight or flight’ response. So turn the air blue (unless there are children or in-laws present!).

Always remember the PRICE of treatment: • Protect the joint from further trauma.

• Rest.

• Ice (wrapped in a damp tea towel and apply for 10 minutes as often as every 30 minutes).

• Compress the joint (apply a little pressure).

• Elevate the joint where you can.

If the pain continues

Arthritis means inflamed joint: There are two types: Osteoarthritis – normally limited to one or two joints. The cartilage layer inside the joint is worn down so bones rub against each other.

There are no nerve endings in

cartilage (so you are unaware you are causing damage) but lots in bone so this is very painful!

Rheumatoid arthritis – this tends to affect many or all joints in the

body. It is caused by an immune system disorder which means toxins are stored in joints rather than exiting the body. This makes joints swollen and painful.

for more than 48 hours seek professional help.

Inside a joint Between the bones at each joint is a layer of cartilage. This stops the bones rubbing against each other and provides shock absorption rather like the suspension on your car. The size of this layer varies from joint to joint and in the knee, you have an extra layer called the meniscus, and in the spine you have a thicker disc of cartilage.

Ligaments run from bone to bone within a joint to prevent excessive movement and to stop dislocation.

Finally, tendons which attach muscles to bone allowing movement.

They are elastic so they allow you to stretch and move.

EXERCISE: Protect against arthritis.

Move!

Exercise can help protect against arthritis by lubricating the joints and increasing endorphins. It also helps the body to remove toxins so is especially helpful for rheumatic arthritis.

Always warm up and cool down properly before exercise (see our blog for good stretches: TheBodyworksClinic.blogspot. com).

Dog Problem?

Hi Connie, I have an eightmonth-old Golden Cocker Spaniel who is very active and playful.

The problem is that he only has one testicle and our vet would like to give him some hormone injections to help the other one come down.

What I am worried about is that I had a Golden Cocker Spaniel in the past whose behaviour was quite aggressive and at times crazy and I am wondering if the hormone injections could affect the personality of our new puppy.

Have you any views on these hormone injections?

Thanks, Jackie

common problem and the norm is an operation.

Cryptorchid is a medical term meaning literally ‘hidden testes’.

If by four to six months of age, the testicle hasn’t dropped, it won't likely do so.

I strongly recommend that you go to another vet and have them find and remove the testicle inside the body as this could cause cancer and many problems as he matures. These dogs should not be bred from as the problem can be inherited.

The Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown interview FORTY-THREE years in the business, Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown is a constant and iconic figure in the British comedy scene. Performing in Benidorm and Orihuela earlier in the week, his short Spanish tour was a roaring success, Paul Deed reports.

EWN Exclusive Interview You love your work don’t you?

I’m just an ordinary bloke who tells jokes. I always say when people are laughing, they’re not fighting. I’ve never once not signed an autograph, or refused a picture. I appreciate everyone who pays their hard-earned money to come and see me. I don’t take anything for granted and I love my fans.

And you’re here with your regular team: We’re a family really.

We’ve all been together for years.

Ritchie handles the business side, he’s married to one of the Nolan sisters, Maureen. Scott Owen, he does all my sound, and Keith (Hammersley) here, he’s been with me years. He’s a professional singer, too.

In the UK we are about 10-14 guys depending on the size of the gig. It takes a lot of organising, people don’t realise that. And we’re a great team.

Lovely bunch of lads. Even my son is here helping with security.

On playing Spain before: 35 years ago at Talk of the Coast. Johnny Hackett compered. The owner had his head in his hands when he met me at

ICONIC: Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown. the airport. Poor bloke had his place trashed the night before because he’d got the date wrong and everyone turned up a night early.

We did the gig anyway, and it was really great.

Favourite venue? It has to be The Palladium.

In front of Her Majesty?

(Unfortunately) no.

On his second book published last month called ‘It’s funny being me’.

I’m really pleased. It’s selling brilliantly. I did my autobiography a few years back and people kept saying what about this story, and that story, so I took two years to put together a compilation of 60 short autobiographical stories, all true, and funny, and the book came out last month.

How many gigs a year? Well, I do about three a week. Minimum-sized audiences around 600. Biggest about 3,000.

And all over the world, too? Yes, packed them out in Oz, and we’ve done New Zealand, Canada, Hong Kong.

I did New York a few years back.

They loved me. I did my research first; always know your audience. Told them I was a friend of the Beatles, and when I was questioned on it, from the stage I recited 80 odd Beatles song titles. They offered me two years work but I said no, thanks. I had to come home to the UK. And TV? Well I’m not PC (Roy smiles). I think TV kills comedians. It’s very cruel. It did it with Bobby Davro, and with Brian Connelly, and lots more. It takes what you’ve got, then dumps you. It’s not good for what you could call standard comedians like me to do TV. I’ve never changed my routine.

Times have changed. I keep my stuff topical whilst having a core routine that I use, and audiences are basically the same. Before there was a north/south divide, but not any more.

How did you get into the business? I was playing drums when I was 12/13. I was in bands in the late 60s, The Nuts, Everards Bunch, and others. I always loved music, and making people laugh.

I left home when I was 14. My family broke up and I had to get out.

I did every kind of job to keep going: plastering, bricklaying, bar work, you name it I’ve done it.

Then I got into a double act with an impersonator, we were called Alcock and Brown. He left because he thought he was the talent in the act. I went on as a solo artist and the rest is history.

When I was 35, I remember seeing Gilbert O’Sullivan play piano with what looked like one finger. I thought ‘I can do that’, so I bought a brilliant book by a guy called Mel Bay, ‘Teach Yourself Chords’. And taught myself from there. Now I play and sing in my routines.

I’ve four pianos at home, even got a Steinway, and a recording studio in my house.

In my spare time I love to write music, I mean proper songs, serious stuff. It’s my way of relaxing. I’ve composed scores of songs.

You’re 67 now. Ever think of retiring? It’s always in the back of the mind. Forty-three years is a long time but to be honest I don’t know what I’d do.. So retirement? I don’t know.

I have to look after my throat, though. I had throat cancer in 2002, and it’s a strain doing so many live gigs, so I need to watch my voice.

That’s the one thing I worry about.

Most people don’t realise how respected and popular you are in the business: Yes. It’s nice to be appreciated, and to be liked, especially by your peers. When I got married to my third wife in Vegas 16 years ago, I was ill and got messages and calls from all my mates: Tom Jones, Bernard Manning, Norman Vaughn and Bob Monkhouse.

He was on holiday in Barbados with Russ Abbot and they called me when they heard, to wish me well.

And, amazingly, I’ve 64,000 fans on my Facebook page!

Finally Roy, How would you like to be remembered? (Laughing) – in your will!

Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown - A really nice guy!

638 Blue Flags for Spanish beaches THE Blue Flag beach results for 2012 are in and Spain has recorded its best ever outcome winning a total of 638 blue flags, 35 more than the 603 flags achieved last year according to the European Foundation for Environmental Education.

With 540 beaches and 98 marinas flying the prestigious flag this year, Spain has maintained its lead on all 51 territories and 46 states participating in the programme from the northern hemisphere, meaning one in six flags of the 3,774 awarded in this area will now fly in Spain.

Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Manager of Taylor Wimpey España, comments, “Spain has not only maintained its leadership in the blue flag stakes over heavyweights such as Greece and France but has actually broken its record and we are extremely pleased that so many beaches in Spain now hold the renowned international symbol of beach excellence which takes into consideration accessibility, water quality, environmental information

for beach users or respect for the law.”

As well as the prestigious blue flag accolade which could help boost Spain’s appeal and economic climate, in other tourism honours, Andalucia has been named the region with the most ‘quality’ beaches according to the Institute for Spanish Tourist Quality (ICTE).

A total of 174 Spanish beaches in 2012 received the ‘Q’ award from the ICTE, a mark which identifies the requirements a beach must meet in relation to cleanliness of equipment, security, rescue operations and information.

Marc Pritchard said: “The lasting quality of Spain’s beaches continues to attract visitors from all over

the world, drawn by the beautiful white sands and clear blue waters. Of course, these esteemed awards will signal good news for property owners, as homes within close proximity to a quality beach will expect to retain a higher value over time and see greater rental appeal.”

“The declaration from The Blue Flag programme and recognition of the Iberian nation’s beautifully pristine beaches from the ICTE only confirms that Spain is the best beach capital of Europe and in my opinion, the world. Beaches across Spain continue to improve year on year and along with the relatively short flight times from anywhere in Europe visitors will continue visit.”

Issues raised at the spring shows A

S promised two weeks ago, we cover a few more of the issues most frequently raised at the two spring shows, ‘Living on the coast’ in Marbella and ‘Homes Gardens and Outdoor Living’ at San Miguel de Salinas.

Spraying against aphids Aphids have been a major problem this spring. Best thing is to spray with a dilute

solution of potassium soap or an ecological washing-up liquid and preferably with a few drops of Neem oil added.

Watering of young fruit trees We had to emphasise time after time that fruit trees need to be watered so that moisture gets down to the lowest roots. A once or twice thorough soaking is better than a daily shallow watering on a drip system.

Compost mixes for growing vegetables in containers An easy mix is 80 per cent of an earth based compost with 20 per cent of worm compost, which is available in small sacks.

If possible also mix some TerraCottem soil improvement gel into seed drills and planting holes.

Why cherry trees don’t fruit well on the coast Unfortunately cherry trees need frosty nights for a few weeks to produce good fruit crops.

Mulching of rose trees The best mulch is six inches of horse manure.

Recovery from frost burn

WATERING NEEDS: Depend on many different factors.

Plants and trees badly burnt by frost can take several months to recover. For instance bougainvillaeas and lantanas might not sprout until the second half of June, so don’t give up too quickly.

To help them recover do ensure that their roots are damp at all times and a foliar feed can be beneficial.

Watering of containers on apartment terraces This varies greatly between and is affected by the natural thirstiness of the varieties of the plants chosen, the quality of the soil/compost mix used, whether the containers are in full sun or semishade or on the south or north side of apartment blocks.

In the book Apartment Gardening

Mediterranean Style we include an indication of summer and winter watering needs for a wide range of situations.

It also includes lists of recommended plants and the choice of containers, etc. The book will soon pay for itself.

English and Spanish plant names It is useful to have these handy plus the botanical Latin names when visiting garden centres. For this reason all three names are included in the plant lists of our various books.

Apologies for not mentioning all the other important issues raised.

If you have outstanding problems you will most probably find appropriate advice in our series of books.
