THEY REMAIN 200,000€ out of pocket after a property deal went sour and hope an appeal to the royal might finally earn them justice. Two weeks ago RTN featured the story of Andrew and Kate Wilford who appealed to the king and Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy for help after a developer was found guilty of fraud in 2013 but has still not repaid 300,000€ or been jailed. Andrew described a “tortuous path” of trying to seeking a resolution over an ‘off plan’ property they had hoped to buy

in Murcia with staged payments from 2005 only to find three years later it was heavily mortgaged by the developer and finally sold to a third party. And after reading of Andrew and Kate’s plight, Nick and Selena are now also asking for a royal and government intervention. The couple, who live in Moraira, paid a 130,000€ deposit in 2003 for what they hoped to be their dream home in the resort. However, it was bought by the estate agent.

Firework night returns THE TRADITIONAL firework display to mark the end of the Javea ‘port fiestas’ is back on the calendar after its controversial cancellation 12 months ago. by Jack Troughton THE SPECTACULAR display, considered one of the best on the Costa Blanca, will be staged from midnight on Tuesday 8th September and thousands of residents and visitors are expected to pack the shoreline to watch. Over the last 40 years, the fireworks were launched from the end of the outer sea wall. However, last August the government refused permission – sparking anger with the organisers of the Festes Patronals de Mare de Deu de Loreto and the town in general. The display was cancelled because the launch site was within 500 a metre exclusion zone designed to protect forest areas – in this case the Montgo natural park. This week, Javea Mayor Jose Chulvi and Councillor for Fiestas Antonio Miragall announced the return of the iconic display using floating platforms as a base to set off the fireworks. It was revealed several options were rejected

because of cost and the town hall had hired three pontoons to create a floating platform of 126 square metres which will be anchored of the La Grava beach. And following consultations with the pyrotechnic company Ricasa, responsible for the display, the mayor said it was decided to reduce the amount of gunpowder used to throw the incendiaries into the air. He said: “Because the display will be closer to the coastline the end result will be just as attractive to watchers.” However, because it is the first time the display will have been launched from the sea, it will be dependent on weather and sea conditions. The town hall has rented the three platforms at a cost of 13,000€. If the experiment proves successful and the stability, strength and effectiveness of the platform are successful; the local authority might opt to buy its own equipment.

Repairs for iconic rock

By Jack Troughton THE PENON d’Ifach is to receive a facelift to well-trodden paths to combat erosion and to improve safety for thousands of walkers. The rock, which rises dramatically from the sea at Calpe, is an iconic feature of the Costa Blanca and receives more than 120,000 visitors a year and is a protected natural park. The existing path to the top, which includes a tunnel, was closed earlier this year for safety reasons because of the danger of a slip or fall. And the Valencia government – which is responsible for the protected area – has drawn up a plan of work to restore the paths most affected by erosion and improve safety features.

‘‘Gag law’’ used when it suits

THE NEW Spanish public security law known as the “gag law” is coming under increased scrutiny as another person is fined for publishing a picture of a police vehicle on social media.

Police car parked in disabled spot

by Jeanette Rice THE WOMAN posted the photo of the police car as it was parked in a disabled parking space in the town of Petrer and made critical remarks about the event. The woman captioned the image “park where you bloody well please and you won’t even be fined”, was tracked down and two days later given a fine of 800 euros. Under the Citizen Security Law, what police consider the “unauthorised use of images of police officers that might jeopardise their or their family’s safety or that of protected facilities or police operations” is prohibited. The two officers who were using the vehicle filed a complaint with the regional Interior Ministry.

Fermin Bonet, a police inspector for the town said the complaint was made on the basis of it offended the officers’ work and merited a sanction. Fines vary between 600 euros and 30,000 euros for the unauthorised use of police images. The town hall security councillor, Fernando Portillo, said “the officers were entitled to park in the space as they were on duty at the time, we would have preferred to find another solution but the officers were insistent on a fine to defend their honour”. The law, drawn up by the ruling conservative Popular Party government, came into effect July 1 despite widespread

criticism from opposition parties, United Nations experts and rights groups, who said it curtailed free assembly and expression and was an attempt by the government to muzzle protests. It must be confusing for the public as most police authorities publish on their facebook pages images of police vehicles and officers carrying out their duties, however readers can probably guess that these are without doubt portraying only a positive image unlike the one posted by the lady in question. Had the officers not taken their action it could be argued that the issue would have soon been forgotten, however now media sources across the globe are reporting on the matter.

Police smash international drugs gang A MAJOR National Police operation has broken up a major international drug dealing gang arresting 29 people in Spain and Denmark.

drugs seized by police

by Jeanette Rice IN TOTAL 27 arrests were made in towns along the coast of Alicante and Murcia, two men were also held in Denmark. And those taken into custody were from a number of different nationalities; 15 Spanish, four Britons, four Dutch, two Danish, one Irish, a Belgian, an Austrian and an Ecuadorian. Spain’s Ministry of the Interior said the gang was dedicated to the acquisition, sales and distribution of large quantities of drugs including ‘speed’, ecstasy and marijuana. The police operation was launched in October last year and came to a climax last weekend when four men were arrested in Javea. Other arrests were made at different times in Calpe, Benidorm, La Nucia, Elche, Los Alca-

zares, Pilar de la Horadada, and Murcia. And officers made 13 searches of Spanish properties to seize 36.7kg of speed, 2,205 ecstasy pills, 224,534 ‘acorns’ of vacuum-packed marijuana, 1,700kg of hashish pollen, and 31kg of hashish. Police also seized four shotguns, a fake pistol, a compressed air gun, a rifle, a revolver, a large amount of ammunition for the weapons, six cars, two vans, a Tasar, and 166,490€ in cash. In June, police also discovered a “sophisticated” marijuana plantation in Novelda, with hundreds of plants growing in the basement of a furniture business. In total three plantations were growing the drug with a total of 2,179 plants involved.

Shorty B moves Overseas

Local news...

FUN-LOVING RADIO presenter Shorty B has joined Overseas FM as the Javea-based radio station continues to grow throughout the region with an entertaining range of programmes. by Jack Troughton THE EXPERIENCED DJ is on air from 10am – helping Adam King with the Breakfast Show and from 11am bringing listeners ‘Shorty B’s Big Brunch’. Overseas FM broadcasts on 105.4fm across the Marina Alta and on 93.4fm in Benidorm and its surrounding area. The station also provides an ‘in store’ service for the Iceland supermarket chain across Spain. The station catch phrase is ‘music to make you move’ and Shorty B and his producer Justin arrived at the radio station this week; becoming an instant hit with people tuning in for his ‘cheeky chappie’ brand of humour. Shorty B, who has successfully presented radio shows on the Costa Blanca for 12 years, said: “This is a great opportunity – Overseas FM is really going places and I’m very excited to be part of it.” And the station’s Adam King added: “Shorty B is a well-known and well-like DJ. He brings his own unique and very special brand of humour to Overseas FM. “It gives Overseas FM the boost it needs to become one of the biggest expat radio stations in Spain – he helps us with our plans to continue to grow and reach new audiences as well as maintaining our ‘in store’ programmes for Iceland supermarkets. “Shorty B will bring new competitions to listeners – tune in and get involved; it’s fun radio and people can tune in on-line or even download our app.”

In the pink

By Jack Troughton THE WATERS of Calpe’s protected salt lake Las Salinas are alive with the sound of birds this summer, including a flock of over 300 flamingos. The migrating birds do not breed at the Marina Alta beauty spot but use its bounty to refuel on a rich diet of crustaceans. Also making an appearance on the lake is a Black-necked Grebe, not seen in Calpe for a number of years, herons, ducks, plovers, and the breeding stilts who have successfully raised chicks this year. Earlier this summer there were worries the ongoing drought and falling water levels would harm the fragile ecosystem despite sea water being pumped into the lake. However, it seems the quality of water in the wetland remains high, while the hot weather has boosted the numbers of crustaceans in the water – a food source for wading birds Shorty B – including a species of micro-crustacean again absent for some time.

Ricky Gervais condemns Spain THE ACTOR and animal rights activist Ricky Gervais has spoken out about the running of bulls in the country having seen reports that seven people had died participating in the events.

by Jeanette Rice One of the victims was a 36 year old man in Penafiel, which is north of Madrid, whilst another man in Navarra aged 29 was gored in the back by a bull whilst taking part in a run. Speaking out via social media Ricky Gervais was not mincing his words when he criticised the recent events and showed no sympathy for those who had lost their lives. In one tweet Gervais said “I get kicks from watching humans being murdered by bulls”. The press immediately picked up on the comment and Gervais responded by posting a video on his facebook page explaining that he was referring to where the victims had been partaking in the running of bulls. Not deterred by the press Gervais went

on to say “in truth, I prefer the bull to win, I would prefer that people didn’t fight bulls, but if they do why torture it to death for fun, the bull is merely defending itself”. Some of the comments that the actor made cannot be published due to the extreme language that he chose to use in his passionate explanation of such animal cruelty. “People who go to see this and say that it is traditional, as was slavery, are not prepared to move on and progress as a society”. Bullfighting was acknowledged as a part of Spain’s national heritage in 2013. Officials said the state has a duty to “preserve and promote” the sport even as opponents continue to decry it.

A battle of words over Gibraltar continues

AS GIBRALTAR gets ready to start its first National day of celebrations on Friday 21st August until September 10th the battle of words between them and Spain continues. José Manuel García-Margallo, the Foreign Minister for Spain has indicated that they will put continued pressure on the British territory on Tuesday by reaffirming that “the party is over” for the rock. Speaking on the Espejo Público programme on Antena 3, Sr García-Margallo repeated the words he first used in August 2013 when he confirmed a multi-pronged campaign targeting Gibraltar. Whilst continuing to insist that Madrid was still committed to dialogue it seems strange that the minister has chosen to reiterate these words.

Continued from front page AND DESPITE winning a civil court action on appeal against Bernd Meinhardt of estate agent Granit Casa in September 2013, their money, interest and costs have still not been paid. A criminal court case was launched two years ago. Selena said: “We won our appeal in September 2013, the judge said even if he appealed the decision would still stand – it’s now August 2015 and we haven’t seen a penny. “He maintains he hasn’t got any money but he still has his business in the centre of Moraira. It became a criminal case after our lawyer found all his money seemed to have gone from Spain and in May last year we went to court to sign the papers.” EMBARGO Nick added: “In July last year we placed an embargo on the house – the one we wanted to buy and which our money helped him purchase.” The Carters have been told the case could take another three years. Selena said: “All the lawyers say is we have to be patient but my patience is wearing very thin after all this time. “Even the lawyers say that basically Spanish law stinks and they think it is absolutely ludicrous when the perpetrator seems to get away with everything.” Nick and Selena had bought a holiday home in Moraira but decided they wanted to live on the Costa Blanca permanently – paying a 20% deposit to show good faith on the 600,000€ property in the resort. They said the deal was that Granit Casa would sell their holiday home and the proceeds would be reinvested in the purchase of the new house. Nick said: “In order to proceed with the purchase, the holiday home had to be sold first; this was very clear and very much part of the deal. “We were assured we were asking for a very good price for the holiday home and it would sell very quickly. Boasting 30 years experience in Spain, I expected him to tell the truth.” And Selena said they agreed the unusually large deposit with the vendor because it would allow her to but a penthouse property in Calpe. The couple moved to Spain in November 2003 but soon discovered the estate agents had not shown the property to any potential purchasers. “In January 2004 he rang up and said we had to go to the notary,” said Nick. “We said we couldn’t proceed - as he very well knew – because he had not sold our property.” The legal battle was launched and when the Carters won, the estate agent was ordered to repay the money in 21 days – a deadline later extended by another 10 days. “The judge in the criminal case is now collating all the information while we continue to wait - we have called our lawyer and there is no news...it is all very frustrating.”

Speaking the lingo FOREIGN RESIDENTS in a Marina Alta town can take advantage of a “pioneering” new service when dealing with all local police matters – a translator. by Jack Troughton BENITACHELL TOWN Hall has appointed an interpreter to translate at the police station, speaking English, German, Dutch, Flemish and French. The service has been provided to support residents in situations they that are already stressful – especially when an emergency arises. And it will help communications with officers when it is important all residents know their rights and responsibilities. Councillor for Public Safety Dirk Rheindorf said: “This is an innovative approach, to provide a translation service within the local police force itself – if

we are not the only municipality to provide this service, I can assure you that we are pioneers. “We cannot forget that two thirds of our population are foreign residents. They need this service to address matters concerning them.” The interpreter will be at the police station in Benitachell Monday to Fridays from 9am to 1pm and can be contacted by telephone between 9am and 9pm via special hotline. People should call 636 964 289. However, the 112 number should still be used in an emergency or call the Benitachell police direct on 608 962 567.

Increase in number of pharmacies in Spain

FARMACIAS (pharmacies in the UK) seem to be popping up everywhere at the moment with the Comunidad Valenciana having quite a few new ones appearing over the last couple of months, a growth also being witnessed across other parts of Spain. by Jeanette Rice The “Boots” like chemists are an excellent one stop advice centre as pharmacists in Spain are more highly trained than in some other countries and can provide treatment or offer professional advice on many common ailments, although they are not a substitute for going to see your doctor if you feel there is something more seriously wrong. Those that haven’t lived in Spain long may not be aware of how helpful these farmacias can be or how paying for a prescrition is calculated, so RTN thought it would be useful to just explain a few of the rules and regulations involved. All the local farmacias take it in turns to provide an out of hours service and this is known as the ´farmacia de guardia’. There is usually a list displayed in the windows to say which will be open during the night or on a holiday. Restrictions in Spain for providing medications are also slightly more relaxed than back in the UK, so it may be that something you require a prescription for in the UK is not needed here in Spain, it is always worth checking with your local farmacia. Most medicines also cost less than other countries because of state imposed price restrictions. However a Royal Decree was passed in 2012 which meant that prescriptions were linked to income, although each autonomous region has its own internal regulations that may affect the Decree. Know as the co-payment system most people, including

UK pensioners are now required to pay a percentage of their prescription costs. The percentage that will need to be paid is included on the prescription. The percentage is calculated on information provided from your income declared in the annual resident tax declaration (IRPF) and if you have not made this declaration there is no indication on the prescription of how much you must pay. This means that a blanket charge of 40 percent will be made for non pensioners with low incomes and a 10 percent charge for pensioners with no maximum limits. The plans are for the rate of payment to be incorporated in a persons SIP card (Social Security) with a chip that links to your resident tax declaration. This means that it will be increasingly more difficult to get a discount if you haven’t filed a tax return in Spain, even if you have had no earnings. A guide to the charges which were correct as of July 2015 are: Pensioners Pensioners with an income below €18,000 will have to pay 10% towards the cost with a maximum of €8.23 per month. Pensioners with an income above €18,000 but below €100,000 will have to pay 10% towards the cost up to a maximum of €18.52 per month. Pensioners with an income above €100,000 will have to pay 10% towards the cost up to a maximum of €61.75 per month.

Non-Pensioners Non-pensioners with an income below €18,000 will have to pay 40% towards the cost with no maximum. Non-pensioners with an income above €18,000 but below €100,000 will have to pay 50% toward the cost with no maximum. Non-pensioners with an income above €100,000 will have to pay 60% towards the cost with no maximum. Exclusions There are some groups that are excluded from paying prescriptions:Those who have had an accident at work or contracted an occupational disease. Unemployed who have lost their entitlement to unemployment benefit. Those affected by toxic syndrome or with certain disabilities. Those currently receiving social integration.

EMAUS launches donation tins

11 11 11

CHARITY EMAUS has launched an official donation tin in a bid to help provide an income stream independent of government funding. by Jack Troughton THE CHARITY – which cares for children in homes across the region, runs a women’s shelter, a baby unit, and an old people’s home – went into voluntary receivership earlier this year. The position of EMAUS is now said to be “stabilised” and the donation tin scheme will run in tandem with the new donation website www.euroamonth.com. EMAUS’s Montse Fiter told RTN: “We are trying to create an independent and regular income where we do not have to rely on the dwindling, sporadic government funding. “And once again we are hoping that the generosity of the expat community up and down the coast will continue to back us as usual.” All funds raised by the donation tins will go to EMAUS and directly benefit the peo-

ple cared for by the charity and will not be blocked or embargoed by banks or the government. And companies or businesses that become part of the network of donation tins will have their logo displayed on the ‘euroamonth’ website – which is already backed by the cast and producers of the hit television series ‘Benidorm’. The charity has warned that people should only put cash in the official donation tins as there have been cases of fraudsters using fakes to raise money by using the EMAUS name. And company, business, or individual who is interested in having a tin or helping raise funds for EMAUS is asked to contact Project Manager Martin Kyme by emailing martin@ emausong.es.

Keep the taps running

DENIA TOWN Hall has launched its own water saving campaign urging people to be responsible over their consumption of the vital resource. The council’s department of the environment and local water company Aqualia work together all year to prevent cuts when the Marina Alta town’s population triples in summer months. However, with the ongoing drought and reduced levels in wells and aquifers because of the lack of rain it was decided a more direct approach was needed. As a result an information leaflet is being distributed explaining measures that can be adopted to save water in the kitchen, bathroom and garden. A spokesman said: “It has been necessary to seek everyone’s cooperation and commitment to use only what water is necessary in the context of the endemic drought that is being suffered, especially in the Province of Alicante. “The lack of rain has considerably brought down the levels of the wells, even as demand rises so there are plenty of reasons to use water responsibly – water is vital for everyone.”

Empty promises I READ in one of the local papers that the new council is going to take action against people who dump furniture next to rubbish bins. I am really fed up with these irresponsible people, as there is no need for this sort of thing. Wherever you buy new furniture the people you buy from will always take the old away. Why can’t people take pride in where they live? A couple of local roads, Nicolas de Bussi and the nearby road Luis Gordillo, have become a dumping ground for old furniture, so the time has come for some real action. Councillors, why not get on your bikes, pedal around this area and see for yourselves! It is time for reform on this matter, and time to spend some money on this. Compared with most other coastal regions this is an absolute slum. The over buildings, the builds not completed, all need to be demolished and park areas built. Come on, all you people who think the same as I do, get complaining. Jeanette Parrish

Expats vote in the UK Gas bill I do not think that any ex-pat who has permanently lived abroad should be elegible to vote in the UK. If individuals wish to live abroad, then they should not retain the right to partly determine how those deciding to remain in the UK should live. I consider the attitude of those people wishing to vote as egoistic and selfish. If I were resident in the UK and people abroad were to vote in any election or referendum producing a result contrary to my wishes I would be really annoyed. My attitude in life is “treat other people how I wish to be treated”. Regards, Graham Spurrier

SINCE NOVEMBER 2014, we have had horrendous bills totalling 1,700€. We want to warn people to check the tariff when they sign up. There are two tariffs, and we signed up for a “holiday tariff”. The rep who signed us up knew we were residents, as the form was all in Spanish. We trusted her! When the first bill for 224.94€ arrived, we were worried. A bill in March for 728.63€, for 60 days scared us even more. On asking the rep for advice, we were told, “it was not her problem “ An interpreter phoned the gas company on our behalf, and was told about the two tariffs. They said we could not have a refund. When we found out about the two tariffs, we asked our president to warn people of this problem, if they wanted natural gas. She informed us we could be charged with libel if she put out this letter. Is she right? Can we, through your newspaper, make others aware of the problem? Trudy McDonald Lo Crispin

Backlash over Jewish reggae singer’s axing A SPANISH music festival re invites an artist having axed them from the bill.

by Jeanette Rice

MATISYAHU, A Jewish-American singer was scheduled to perform on Saturday at the annual Rototom Sunsplash festival, held in Benicàssim, a beach town on the eastern coast of Spain. The festival bills itself as an event promoting a culture of peace, social justice

and non-violence. And is a large European reggae festival, which takes place every summer, the festival imitates the traditional Jamaican Reggae. The singer was asked what his position was regarding a Palestinian state but declined to comment and was then

Matisyahu

removed from the list of performers. The festival’s change of plans has come after the World Jewish Congress wrote to Spanish Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, calling on him to condemn the cancellation, which they called “anti-Semitic,” and demanding firm action by Spain. Spain’s Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that the government understood the Jewish communities’ unease, adding that Spain opposed boycott campaigns against Israel. It reiterated its support for a Palestinian state through negotiations. The World Jewish Congress and the Federation of Jewish Communities in Spain lauded the reversal Wednesday and thanked the organizers. The organisers experienced a barrage of criticism initially from human rights groups. “We want the performer removed because of his record of hateful and racial incitement and his defence of Israeli war crimes and human rights violations,” said Omar Barghouthi, co-founder of the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Organisers reported that there had been coercion and threats to those working at the festival if the performer was not removed from the event. Matisyahu, who’s real name is Matthew Miller said in a statement “I support peace and compassion for all people. My music speaks for itself, and I do not insert politics into my music.” The festival organisers have publicly apologised for cancelling Matisyahu and invited him to play as originally planned on Saturday. A spokesperson for the festival said that “we recognise our mistake but had been pressured by a local branch of the BDS”. The BDS activists have been successful in convincing a number of musicians and artists in the past to cancel engagements in Israel or Israel related events, these include Roger Water from Pink Floyd, Elvis Costello and Sinead O’Connor. The festival, which started on the 15th of August and runs until the 22nd of August.

Four year old drowns in pool

A FOUR year old boy tragically drowned on Sunday as the family spent their holiday in a villa in Mijas, Costa del Sol. The boy, named as Refoel Berkowitz fell into the pool as he played with a group of children as his parents were entertaining some friends. The group were eating dinner with around 20 guests when one of the other children, a 15 year old boy raised the alarm after discovering Refoel in the water. One of the group, a doctor, tried to resuscitate the young boy prior to the paramedic’s arrival but all attempts were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The family, who come from Golders Green in the UK were understandably devastated at the loss of their son.

Angels spread their wings SINGLE PARENT support charity Guardian Angels has opened a second branch based in Benidorm and hopes to attract new members to the group for a successful take off. by Jack Troughton SUSANA COJOCARU is organising the growing second branch covering the area backed by the charity’s founder and director Trisha Barr. Susana became involved in Guardian Angels herself as a single parent after moving to the Costa Blanca two years ago with her teenage son and has already started meetings in Albir. “I decided to get the group together and to meet every Sunday – meeting every few months or twice a year didn’t seem enough,” she said. “We meet at my house. Everyone brings food which we all share or sometimes we go out to places you might not visit on your own. We recently had a family day and a pool party which was a great success. “And in winter we will still meet and play games – it is a chance to socialise for the parents and for the children – they get bored on their own and there are quite a few who don’t seem to have friends from school.”

And Susana added that whatever their ages, youngsters seemed to be able to “muck in together.” COMMITTEE She added that unfortunately half of the existing members were leaving because they were moving away and to successfully launch they needed new blood and to form a committee. “I want more people to join and really get going – although we will use the Guardian Angels’ name we will have to fund raise and finance ourselves.” As an example she said a new school year was fast approaching and books were really expensive. “I hope to start a library including course books so they do not become redundant and can be used again.” Anyone interested in joining the group can email Susana at susana@ guardian-angels.es and for more information about the charity visit the website www.guardian-angels.es

The getaway “Game of Thrones” set grows insurance gamble National news...

ONE IN five visitors to Spain arrives without travel insurance, prompting the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to warn travellers not to play the ‘Great Getaway Gamble’. by Jack Troughton Insurance claims last year totalled £370 million according to the Association of British Insurers – but travelling without cover can seriously damage a person’s wealth as well as ruining a holiday. And a survey across British consulates in Spain based on travellers having to replace a lost or stolen passport this summer reveals that as many as one in five did not have insurance. Travelling in Europe can cost thousands if things go wrong – for example, the average cost of a claim for medical expenses in 2014 rose to £1,022 from £930 the previous year. However, the FCO highlights the sharp contrast to taking out insurance; the average cost of an annual travel policy is a mere £32. In a new campaign, based on a roulette board, travellers are warned about the ‘Great Getaway Gamble’ and the cost and stress of not having cover.

Spandau Ballet forced to cancel Spanish shows

BILL A spokesman said: “Rolling the dice, not hedging your bets, and being left with a £1,022 bill is no way to start or end a holiday, especially when this pricey sum equates to a luxury cruise to the Caribbean, a week in four-star accommodation for two in Lanzarote, or a new high-end laptop...with change left over. “The FCO is encouraging British nationals to make travel insurance an essential part of their holiday preparation with the ‘Great Getaway Gamble’. Will you get back with your finances in the black, or return from the Med in the red?” And as part of its ‘travel aware’ campaign, the FCO is warning people should insure they have the level of insurance cover needed for their planned activities; answer questions about medical history fully and honestly or risk not being covered when making a claim; and that travel policies may not cover accidents where someone has not taken reasonable care or consumed excessive amounts of alcohol.

THE PRODUCTION of Season 6 for the popular television show are working hard in Pechina, Almeria at the moment, which will be a new location for the programme. The structure currently being built in the new location will have avid fans wondering what part of the cult show this will feature in as rumours that the majority of the materials has been brought directly from Ireland to try to maintain some form of secrecy. The building which is circular is similar to a temple but this is not the only location for the filming of Season 6 with other reported locations being Almeria, Gerona, Navarra, Peniscola, Santa Florentina castle in Barcelona and Zafra castle in Guadalajara.

In the European Economic Area, people should also carry an up to date European Health Insurance Card (an EHIC) in addition to taking out insurance. This gives access to medically necessary, state-provided healthcare during a temporary stay in the 28 EU member countries, Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. The EHIC does not cover private healthcare, additional costs such as mountain rescue, being flown back to the UK, or lost or stolen property. For more information about using an EHIC in Spain, visit www.healthcareinspain.eu; and for advice on travel insurance, go to www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-insurance.

THE SPANDAU Ballet band were forced to cancel three planned concerts this weeks as the drummer John Keeble has fallen ill. The band cancelled their Tuesday gig only hours before being due on stage as the drummer had been told he cannot work on “doctors orders”. A spokesperson for the band said “it is with deep regret that Spandau Ballet have had to cancel their three shows in Spain this week, unfortunately John Keeble is unable to perform and we can only apologise to the fans”. The band themselves said “cancelling shows is something that is always hard to do but our priority has to be the health of our friend and getting him better.” The band were due to perform at the Porto Ferrada and Ibiza Rocks festivals as well as a concert in Marbella. It is not known exactly what is wrong with the 56 year old drummer but fans have been quick to support the band with one tweeting “concerts can be held any time, just get well soon John”.

Terra Natura celebrates Petitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday

THIS SATURDAY the Terra Natura park celebrates with a Holi Festival for the 43rd birthday of Petita the elephant.

by Jeanette Rice

The Holi, is an ancient Hindu religious festival involving a free-for-all carnival of colours and where participants play, chase and colour each other with dry powder and coloured water, with some carrying water guns and coloured water-filled balloons for a water fight. The park will celebrate Petitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday in this traditional style and suggests that everyone wears white clothing to show the bright colours that they will have covered themselves in. Petita is a very special elephant to have such a festival in her honour as it

is the only one of its kind to be held in the Communidad of Valencia. Readers may remember that when Petita first arrived at the park she was rejected by the herd as they considered her ugly within the elephant world because she was underweight and she could often be seen standing alone whilst the others grouped together. There is no extra charge to take part in this Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events as it is all included in the standard ticket price. For further information details can be found at www.terranatura.com.

Time to get messy with La Tomatina La Tomatina is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday of August each year in the town of Buñol near to Valencia in Spain. by Jeanette Rice THOUSANDS UPON thousands of people make their way from all corners of the world to fight in this ‘World’s Biggest Food Fight’ where more than one hundred metric tons of over-ripe tomatoes are thrown in the streets. Before 2013 anywhere from 40,000 to 50,000 people crammed into this huge tomato fight, greatly expanding Buñol’s normal 9,000 person population, so in 2013 official ticketing began to limit the number of participates to 20,000 people. This years event will take place on Wednesday 26th August. At approximately 11am lorries haul the bounty of tomatoes into the centre of the town, with the tomatoes coming from Extremadura, where they are less expensive. Technically the festival does not begin until one brave person has climbed to the top of a two-story high, greased-up wooden pole and reached the coveted ham at the top. In practice this process takes a long time and the festival starts despite no one reaching the meaty prize. The signal for the beginning of the fight is the firing of water cannons, and the chaos begins. Once it begins, the battle is generally every

man for himself. After one hour the fighting ends and the cleaning process begins involving fire trucks spraying down the streets, with water provided from a Roman aqueduct. The authorities seem more concerned with cleaning the town than cleaning the visitors, so some people find water at the Buñol River to wash themselves. The event dates back to 1945 when young men met in People’s Square to witness parades, a group of boys feeling mischievous ended up in a battle with others who then started throwing anything they could get their hands on at each other. A nearby vegetable stall soon became the ammunition depot as they gathered tomatoes to throw at each other until the police arrived. The following year the young people did the same and it soon became tradition and named La Tomatina. The event which was banned for a period in the early 50’s by the local law enforcement has become world famous and was declared in 2002 as a Festival of International Tourist Interest.

La Vuelta preparations underway

TORREVIEJA WILL enjoy two historic firsts over four weeks: the arrival of the MS Amadea Cruise Ship on September 22nd and the start of the 9th stage of La Vuelta on August 30th. by Keith PREPARATIONS FOR the start of the 9th stage of La Vuelta, the Tour of Spain is “a success” as confirmed in a Press Conference on Tuesday hosted by Torrevieja’s Mayor, José Manuel Dolon and the Councillor for Sports Pablo Samper. The mayor explained that on Monday, the Information Commission, which is formed by Policia Local, councillors, representatives from Torrevieja’s cycling club, held a meeting that has served to “give everyone participation in the decision-making process and listen to suggestions and initiatives that were raised.” This stage of the Tour will leave from the Paseo Juan Aparicio, close to the Hippy Market and the monument to the Man of the Sea, Hombre del Mar. The cyclists will go along Aven-

ida de la Purisima, along the coast, to La Mata. The Mayor announced that for things to move smoothly there is a “need for some small works, which have already been initiated such as placing a ramp up to Calle Ramon y Cajal, the removal of street furniture, and other items, to ensure we always have a width of at least four meters for the peloton to pass.” Samper called the event: “it’s a very important fact that through sports, we want to project the image of Torrevieja, giving the city visibility and viewers throughout Spain and the world to enjoy all the images of the city and especially the race is particularly important.” Riders will begin with a neutralized start, so the group will travel several kilometres parallel to the beaches at below race pace. The

Torrevieja’s Information Commission preparing for La Vuelta

distance to the flying start will be about 8.5 km, in the hamlet of La Mata. The mayor noted the on Saturday 29th the entire pre-race teams will assemble at four in the afternoon and is expected that several trucks from the organization will be located in the port area, along with 20 and 30 buses, and cars of all the different teams. José Manuel Dolon indicated that on the day of departure there will be a major police deployment, for which they will request 30 added agents on overtime, to reinforce the troops of the Guardia Civil and Protection Civil. On August 30th, traffic will be cut to different streets in the city and in some cases traffic will be allowed

to those accessing parking. On this point the mayor said that “the port will have parking entry and exit from Calle Chapaprieta, but it will not be possible to enter the fairgound parking area close to Dique de Levante” Finally, José Manuel Dolon reported that one of the suggestions presented at the meeting of the Information Commission, was to invite the veteran Orihuela Cyclist Bernardo Ruiz to be present at the start. Dolon reported that “this morning I already contacted him about this.” Unfortunately, one aspect missing from the official announcement from the Town Hall was the time that the cyclists will depart at from Torrevieja. However, in order to keep readers informed, the official

website for the race states that the start of the 168.3 kilometre stage will start from Torrevieja at 1.34pm. Running at an average speed of 41 km/h riders will arrive at the following points within a few minutes of the following times: Guardamar de Segura, N 332 - 13:43: Santa Pola N 332 - 14:07: Alicante, N 332 - 14:34: El Campello, N 332 - 14:55: Villajoyosa - 15:23: Feeding zone, Benidorm - 15:30: Altea, N 332 - 15:52: Calpe, CV 746 - 16:09: Alto de Puig Llorenca, col 2e cat - 16:38: El Poble Nou de Benitatxell, CV 740 - 16:44: Javea, CV 742 - 17:17: Intermediate sprint, near Bahía de Jávea - 17:19 and finishing in El Poble Nou de Benitatxell, Alto de Puig Llorença, sometime between 17:52 and 17:28.

Volunteer helps When less is more reopen charity shop Charity news...

A charity shop helping raise crucial operating funds for the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre has reopened after an 82-yearold man kindly stepped forward as a volunteer. by Patricia Thompson

The Los Montesinos shop, located in the town square, had been shut for several weeks due to a lack of volunteer staff. Rescue centre co-founder Sue Weeding said British expat Ivan Cottrellcalled early this month asking why the shop was closed, and promptly offered to step in when he learned of the difficulties. “He took over as manager of the shop and began single-handedly running it, six days a week. He’s now managed to round up three other lovely volunteers to help him. We’re so grateful. He really proves that you’re never too old to volunteer for the EHCRC,” Sue said. “However, we do have other charity shops that are struggling to stay open due to a lack of volunteers, especially the Pilar de la Horadada shop. If there’s anyone out there who would like to help out, we’d be grateful to hear from you.” Those interested in volunteering can

call Sue on 652 021 980. Sue said the centre is also looking for donations of large items such as furniture, and a pick-up service can be arranged to collect them from your house. Each shop also offers a delivery service for large items purchased from the charity store. The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre relies solely on donations to fund its animal welfare work.Every cent donated

to the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre or spent in the charity shops goes towards the feeding and care of the more than 90 horses, ponies and donkeys that live at the centre. The rescue centre, located just outside Rojales at Partido Lo Garriga 59, opens to the public on the first Sunday of every month from 1pm to 4pm. For more details and directions, please visit www.easyhorsecare.net.

The latest fund-raising night at Restaurante El Alto La Dolores, was a little disappointing with only 67 people attending, compared with 184 in June. Perhaps, the organisers should not have tried to compete with the Spanish Fiestas. Nonetheless, those who did come, and support the charity, The Children’s Care Home Elche, were extremely charitable and generous, and almost 500 euros was raised for the Home. Woody, possibly the most talented and popular entertainer on the Costa Blanca, entertained with two great sets, including his tribute to Buddy Holly. He kept the dance floor full all night, and received excellent feedback. One young lad even drew a picture of Woody with a message that he was ‘the tops’. Restaurant owners, Andres and Berna, once again donated a Mediterranean Cruise as first prize in the raffle, and this was won by Rita Hand, from Quesada. Rita is a regular supporter of these charity nights, and a deserving winner. On 4th September, Vinny Mack will be entertaining and helping to raise funds for Torrevieja Stroke Support. Tickets, at 10 euros for 2 course meal and show, are available from the Restaurant (located on N332 between La Mata and Guardamar); the Post Room Benijofar; The Card Place in Benimar, or by calling 692 866 536.

It is not true that all foreigners and expatriates must make a new Spanish will or modify their existing one. AS MENTIONED in recent articles, the new Regulation 650/2012 affecting probate and inheritance in Spain, entered into force on the 17th of August 2015. WE ADVISE all foreign citizens and expatriates who have any kind of assets in Spain to make a Will or Testament for their Spanish assets, and those expatriates who already have a Spanish will, to review it. However, as some people have pointed out, not all Wills made before 08.17.2015 must be changed, in order to opt expressly for the national law of the testator or testatrix in all cases. This is because Regulation 650/2012 itself provides in its Article 83 covering the treatment of old Wills, that generally they will remain valid. The transcribed article 83 reads as follows: â&#x20AC;&#x153; Transitional provisions 1. This Regulation shall apply to the succession of persons who die on or after 17 August 2015. 2. Where the deceased had chosen the law applicable to his succession prior to 17 August 2015, that choice shall be valid if it meets the conditions laid down in Chapter III or if it is valid in application of the rules of private international law which were in force, at the time the choice was made, in the State in which the deceased had his habitual residence or in any of the States whose nationality he possessed. 3. A disposition of property upon death made prior to 17 August 2015 shall be admissible and valid in substantive terms and as regards form if it meets the conditions laid down in Chapter III or if it is admissible

and valid in substantive terms and as regards form in application of the rules of private international law which were in force, at the time the disposition was made, in the State in which the deceased had his habitual residence or in any of the States whose nationality he possessed or in the Member State of the authority dealing with the succession. 4. If a disposition of property upon death was made

prior to 17 August 2015 in accordance with the law which the deceased could have chosen in accordance with this Regulation, that law shall be deemed to have been chosen as the law applicable to the succession. If you have any doubt about if you Will must be changed or not, or any other matter relating to Wills, Testaments, Probate or Succession in Spain, contact us.

China Crisis

Keith Littlewood International Financial Adviser

CHINA’S MOVE to devalue its currency by around 4 per cent has caused chaotic panic on global financial markets over the past week. WHILST TO many this is just ‘news’ that ‘doesn’t affect me’ then think again. Its ‘one-off’ cut to the yuan earlier this week was followed by two more, changes that have shaken currency markets and sent shares and commodity prices spiralling downwards. Only last month, Chinese stock markets fell following the intervention of government authorities to put a floor under plunging prices. That rout mostly affected investors in China and Asia-focused funds, but the yuan devaluation has set off even bigger shockwaves across financial markets. It’s even prompted talk about a global currency war, or ‘competitive

devaluation’, with countries trying to keep currencies weak to boost exports and support their economies. Historically such contests have ended up hurting all sides as trade falls and inflation is imported. China’s action could make the US Federal Reserve delay a longanticipated interest rate hike in September, as officials will be wary about doing anything that strengthens the dollar further right now. For the average man in the street the biggest impact is going to be where their investments or pension funds have exposure to Far Eastern Funds as well as the impact that has happened to all the western markets though these now seem to be recovering. As will the Far East in time.

This is just another of the financial uncertainties that can depress the markets. What is available for Ex-Pats living in Spain are the Spanish Compliant Bonds that can offer a good rate of return and can cater for all risk profiles from the Cautious Investor to the more Speculative risk taker. These can be very tax efficient and offer an excellent vehicle for clients wanting to take regular income or if you just want to let your investments

grow over time. If you would like a brochure or more information on Spanish Compliant Bonds or just simply want a sit down and a face to face discussion about your savings then do not hesitate to email or phone me, often just a reassuring discussion is all that is needed for some people. If you need advice or have any questions regarding the above you can contact me on 657 684 094 or email keith.littlewood@blacktowerfm.com

Dick Handscombe Holistic gardener and author

Gardens improve as gardens start to cool down AS THE days shorten and occasional showers or storms cool off and dampen plant growth and soils plants are already showing signs of re-budding for more extensive late summer and autumn flower displays. This is a pleasant and encouraging happening after the third hot summer in a row when the emphasis has had to be just helping plants to survive the long day after long day of scorching weather. Today the temperature has dropped down to just below 30 degrees centigrade and tomorrow although back to 35 degrees centigrade promises a much wanted thunderstorm with others to follow on several days during the next week. So it was a pleasant morning pottering around the garden after an early morning walk at only 16 degrees in the shade. Fortunately a threatened thunderstorm blew past early yesterday evening so the annual urbanisation barbecue happened as planned and it was not too hot for the volunteer cooking team or later spirited dancing. Although there are no shrub beds within the village sports and social area in which the event was held good displays of flowering climbers on the fences of surrounding properties gave festive colour and stimulating evening perfume from lady of the night, honey suckle, solanum and jasmine flowers as did lower under growths of mirabilis. To stimulate autumn displays do deadhead geraniums and roses. Wandering around the garden a short while ago I noticed several of the dreaded African geranium moths flitting around geranium plants. So do be vigilant and spray several times a week. Vegetable plants are also looking up and droop for less hours a day with more tomato, pepper, aubergine flowers forming

fruit. Looking forward to autumn and winter harvests some gardeners have already sown butter bean and broad bean seeds. Figs are now ripening rapidly in some areas although others will still be a week or to be at their best, as will ours. Fortunately friends visiting for tapas last Sunday arrived with a timely gift of two large washing up bowls of ripe black figs. On Monday some were cooked in white wine and anise for desert during the week and freezing for later use, others were dried as a tasty dried fruits for winter walks and a few were converted to jam to add to breakfast yogurts. Although rarely watered or fed our avocado tree, raised twenty five years ago as a UK house plant from a Marks and Spencer fruit, is heavily laden with fruit as a result of the tropical summer so it is now being watered once a week to help the young fruit to swell. Indeed I must do this once this article is completed and emailed to the RTN editor. Tropical weather has also stimulated a collection of cumin plants to grow strongly so hope to be using genuine ecological ground roots to colour and flavour winter cooking. By the way don’t forget to collect and freeze or dry mock pepper fruits for the out of season flavouring of fish dishes. They have an interesting tang compared to purchased peppers but don’t try to grind them in a pepper grinder as it will gum up. Well enough for now I must go and eat some of the wild boar stew cooking on the solar cooker. Cooking times have been quick this past month with the exceptionally high temperatures.

Cucaracha Club makes film history IT’S BEEN an amazing week for fans of action and spy films.

The Cucaracha Club coming soon

by Keith Nicol Tom Cruise returned in the latest ‘Mission Impossible’; the much-anticipated ‘The Man from Uncle’ hit the big screen plus the fifth in the ‘Bourne’ series was announced with news that Matt Damon would be returning to reprise the role. Locally, there was much excitement for the hardworking team, cast and crew of the Cucaracha Club. There were many who said it could not be down but the film team have proved many people wrong and in less than a year the film has gone from the printed page to finished film and after being ‘topped and tailed’ will be ready for distribution and entry into different film festivals around the world. The film is the brainchild of Billie Anthony Gaddess. Apart from actually editing the film, a task expertly done by Richard Haywood from Viva TV, Billie has been a man for all reasons. Scriptwriter; lead actor (not by choice but by chance), associate director and producer; fundraiser, PR and marketing guy; babysitter; cameraman, sound guy, transport’ logistics and even sandwich maker supreme. A man of many words on screen, Billie summed up his very own ‘mission impossible’ by simply saying; “I am proud to say we succeeded where many thought we would fail and we did it with aplomb.” The historic fact is that ‘The Cucaracha Club’ is the very first

International, ‘Crowdfunded’ film to be produced in its entirety on the Southern Costa Blanca. With well over a hundred people making up cast, crew, extras and those tireless working behind the scenes, Billie also wanted to say a collective “Thank You” to everyone for their participation and support. From bit roles to lead actors to walk-ons, everyone had words of thanks and support for Billie and the team. Chloe Leigh said; “An amazing opportunity to be part of The Cucaracha Club film; singing the Soundtrack; combined with the music video but actually part of the film too. Simply can’t wait to see it on the big screen. Bring on CC2.” Clive Gray was consumed with excitement as the trailer was released: “Hanging out of aeroplanes, falling off boats, being catapulted off jet skis and sharing beds with gorgeous women have been some of the things we’ve had to put up with but hey; we’re professionals; we can do this. It’s the springboard from which we raise the standards for our next project, which is currently being planned.” Julie Kay added: “The making of The Cucaracha Club has been a very positive experience for me, a very steep learning curve. I can’t wait to begin the next one.” Caoimhe O´Shea said: “A very enjoyable

MABS helped by Galgos del Sol THE CANCER Charity MABS Murcia Mar Menor were very grateful when Jamie Solero of Galgos del Sol presented Ellen Moores of MABS with a wheelchair that had been donated to sell in their shop. Janet Bell of MABS thanked Jamie for thinking of MABS as they always need wheelchairs for patients so it will be well used. MABS supplies cancer patients with hospital beds, wheelchairs, walking frames and most types of equipment free of charge. The dog in the photo is their mascot ‘Hank’, who was a rescue dog and Galgos del Sol have over 100 dogs being looked after and all looking for a new ‘forever’ home. Their shop is in Calle Sierra del Molar 2, San Javier, right next door to Caravanning San Javier. Both Charities are grateful for any donations of clothing, bric a brac, books, and furniture. Contact Galgos del Sol on 663 974 660 and MABS on 968 191 300, between 10.00am and 2.00pm, Monday through Friday or call 615 016 035. More information at : www.facebook.com/mabsmurciamarmenor.

experience. Great to work with such enthusiastic and professional people. I hope that people will enjoy the film as much as we enjoyed making it.” And last but certainly not least from the film’s lead actress Yvonne Hughton: “After several weeks of being behind the camera it was my turn to be in front. I loved it. When I saw the trailer I must say that I just love the car racing by. We have had good response from family and friends coming to the shoots and filling up the places, etc. thank you for helping us.” Another person who a huge word of thanks go out to is Rai Woods who not only directed the film but took the time during production to help train the production team, coach the actors and was more patient than most when it came to working with the cast and crew, all of whom worked for free on the entire production. Post production, entering film festivals, doing PR and Marketing all still cost money and you can still make donations and find out more about the film at: www.siesta. productions. And to start things rolling, why not check out the new trailer at: https://youtu.be/v5GKW0AWtJI or look on YouTube for ‘The Cucaracha Club Trailer’.

He wont take me back

I had been seeing a lovely man for several months, but found him quite dull at times and lacking any get-up-and-go. I then met a more upbeat guy, who seemed to be more interesting and exciting. It was great for a few weeks, then he told me he’d met someone else. I now regret finishing with my nice, quiet man. He won’t take me back, and I realise what I have given up. To make matters worse, he has another woman. Relationships need working at constantly, so that things don’t get stale, and both parties are happy. It is possible, even if you are both different personalities, to compromise with each other, and find activities you both enjoy, but it takes effort on both sides. I assume you have tried explaining your mistake fully, and have told him that you regret your actions very much. Other than that, if he sees no way back, there is not much to be done, especially if he is happy in another relationship.

Irresponsible My granddaughter is 29, and I feel she is wasting her life. Any jobs or further education she’s had, have been given up after a few weeks. Her parents indulge her totally, and pay for one fad after another. Just recently, they paid for an expensive correspondence course on clairvoyance and tarot card reading, which she didn‘t complete. She has no direction, and no sense of responsibility. I have spoken to my daughter about this, but my comments aren’t welcome. Your daughter and her husband are enabling their daughter’s behaviour, and there is no future in that. If you are close to your granddaughter, you could to try and have a frank talk to her. We all have to consider our futures, and think about the time when our parents will no longer be around to support us. You might incur the wrath of your daughter by doing this, but at least you will know you are doing it with the best of intentions. Keep the conversation light, and avoid lecturing or criticism.

 There is a wisdom in your current silence that may not be perfectly acceptable for those who do not understand your motives. Patience will see you safely through and show others that, above all, you are not to be messed with. Mars gently nudges Neptune into touch early this week which may explain your needed stubborn streak! You are currently multi tasking and it is time to concentrate on what you are really looking for right now. When choices were on offer you took on far too much, so it is time right now to slow down and to find someone who can carry on your good work. Mercury is in confrontation with your sister planet Virgo, but finally love will prevail. Mercury calls time on a project that isn’t going anywhere. It is vital that honesty guides the decision to cut losses and to move on to other directions. You are inspired to give all the advice that you can muster, but there are those who do not want to give you the benefit of the doubt, and yet, they are those who should be held responsible. Though you may be so very good at giving others advice, it is now time for you to stop and take check of a situation around you; because when push comes to shove it will be everyone to themselves. Mercury takes on Saturn, and this means that you may very well have some further digging to do, and it’s not before time either! As the Sun enters into Virgo it has eyes for lucky planet Jupiter, and they conjunct at the end of the week. This is a great time to look within at the inner you, and to establish just what your needs are right now. You are gently being pushed in two directions , and whether you go, or stay, you have to be happy in everything you do. The midweek entry of the Sun illuminates a positive energy which you will be able to use to your advantage if you so choose. Don’t waste time because Ceres and Mercury have ideas that may block your way forward, and your time is now. Enjoy what’s coming your way, but you will benefit from an instinctive snap decision Mercury sextiles Saturn and enters into your sign at the end of the week. A message you have been dreading really surprises you when it comes, and it makes you wonder why you ever thought the way that you did when there are several alternatives that might make everyone happy for a change. Do what is right, just don’t give in. Mars and Neptune are in cahoots and together they make no bones about something much better now that it is out in the open. You will not take sides, but things have changed and someone has taken umbrage simply because they have got hold of the wrong end of the stick. Think before you accidentally pour oil on troubled waters! Stubborn energy gets the job done and done well. Jupiter basks in the conjunction with the Sun, and rewards you for what you have done, though sadly you have only been able to scratch the surface. What more can you say or do? Your door is open and somebody has to compromise by finally eating some very humble pie. Nothing is to be gained if your silence remains an issue. Mercury teases Saturn into bringing wit and wisdom into a no win no lose situation, so don’t give up. You have started so you will finish, and on the way you will have to ignore the advice of others in favour of following your natural and highly psychic energies for a change. Keep others guessing as you have to keep yourself to yourself right now. Other pastures beckon and you are sorely tempted to move on, though you are not running away. Some things will never change and you need to be part of a successful and professional team once more if you are to best validate your own wants and needs. Neptune’s actions with Mars make you focus on the negativity of a current situation and may just prove the positive for all concerned. You could turn current misfortunes of others around, and you will enjoy seeing the great difference your loving care can make. A time to reflect on needs too, as things cannot go on as they are.

If It’s Your Birthday This Week

Multiple actions of the Sun go hand in hand with a recent decision which needs backing all around if it is to work. The year ahead sees you closer than ever to achieving that which you need to do, although you will be tested every which way!

A sandwich away!

I WOKE up over Amsterdam, worried that I may have snored whilst I was asleep. It had been a very early departure from Alicante, and I was so glad that my favourite Starbucks skinny latte was my breakfast, as I planned to have brunch when I got to Oslo, shortly after eleven o’ clock. It had been a quiet flight, and uneventful, and I had missed the drinks trolley and curled up to catch up on some missed sleep. The biggest secret to dozing on a plane is to wear dark sunglasses, as most cabins are too bright too much of the time. It was sunny out there above the clouds, and there were only 75 minutes left of the flight now. I would make my connection, grab any kind of sandwich, shop in the duty free store and be in Trondheim by late afternoon. My mind was filled with what work I had to do, but a slug of water later and I was settling down to a delightful combination of meditation and dozing, both which relaxed me, body and soul, on my journey. I woke when the plane was making a left turn to start the final descent to Oslo. The beautiful inlets and bays and the red roofed houses of Norway were bathed in sunshine as I looked to the left of the cabin, but on the right hand side were the very darkest of sinister black clouds, and for sure it was going to rain. Distant thunder resounded through the cabin, and the Scandinavian Airline System Boeing 737 was ever nearing the ground. We skimmed along a bank of low level clouds and the plane began to shudder a little, still going slowly downwards to land. The cabin crew were seated and belted and the Captain advised us all that in five minutes we would be landing at Gardemoen Airport. Five minutes later, and I began to think that there was something very wrong in the landing procedure of the plane. The nose of the plane was elevated and the engines were periodically sounding as if they were accelerating..... the plane was being flipped from side to side, dipping and shaking with engines roaring. It was no surprise then that this landing was aborted, and the plane immediately went into a rapid ascent. Audible pings could be heard on the on board telephone, amongst them, I imagine, the three pinged distress call from the cockpit to the Senior of the cabin crew. From now on all messages from the PA system would be in Norwegian only, which didn’t help me very much. The Captain explained that landing was aborted because of tail winds, and that we would have to re join the holding pattern and that we would be landing shortly. There was a deathly hush all through the cabin and nobody spoke. The atmosphere was one of suppressed fear, not panic. As the plane began to descend once more, on one of those never ending spirals, there was a sharp crack and a big flash, and the right side of the plane was struck by lightning. This prompted an end to the silence and the passengers distress became both audible and fearful. The lights of the cabin were flickering and, so, the locked in cabin crew could do nothing to comfort anyone in shock. I thought that the woman sitting next to me was having a heart attack, but it was a panic attack, and I gently took her trembling hand and held it in mine, told her we would breathe together and that all would be OK. Lightning flashed, rain came, the whine of the engines and the turbulence reached a crescendo. Then the sun came out the Captain advised we would be landing in five minutes. It was a bumpy and very hard landing, the worst that I had ever experienced; but as the plane screeched and skidded and lurched onto the runway, it just felt like the best ever. We landed safely, and I had a tear in each of my eyes. People say that your life flashes in front of you when you are in mortal danger, well maybe that’s true, but I had faith. I was determined that I wasn’t going to die on SAS flight: SK 4676, and asked Spirit to help us all safely down. As I left the flight the cabin crew had already left the aircraft and people were saying that they would never fly again! However I was just a sandwich away from my ongoing flight, and Trondheim was beckoning. Thank you Spirit, for one minute there I thought my time on this Earth was finally up!

KENNY DO you believe in Earth angels? Special angels on Earth that, when they are needed. come to rescue or to save lives. How would I call an Earth angel to me if I needed one? Karin S. Karin, there are no resident Angels living on Earth. The whole point about making the most of Angel connection is to respect the fact that all Angels have to be invited to this Planet; excepting that the Archangels, who each have a special dispensation to visit us here when and if they are required to do so. It is the Archangels that are periodically seen, minus wings and very often in human form doing whatever it takes to assist when and if they feel they can. Call any Angel by name and they will pass on any requests to the appropriate Angel with responsibilities. Michael, King of Angels, is a busy man, so send messages via Gabriel, ask Uriel for protection and rely on Raphael to know your needs before you really do...he won’t ever need calling!

Church’s first 15 THE NUMBER 15 played a special role in a novel afternoon of fund raising for members of the Albir Church of England, successfully raising 300 euros for the Costa Blanca Anglican Chaplaincy. by Jack Troughton

(from left) Andrew Johnson, Father Ray, Annika, Monica and Mavis.

‘Fifteens 4 Fundraising’ took place last Saturday at the home of Geoff and Elaine Mitchell with guests quick to realise the importance of the figure. At 15.00 hours, 15 members of the congregation met to enjoy 15 different tapas; a 15 question ‘quirky quiz’; and a raffle with 15 prizes...all for 15€. And the raffle prizes included a ‘menu del dia’ for two at the Gastrocomic Restaurant in Albir and the Deja Vu Restaurant in Alfaz del Pi. Fund raising is important to the chaplaincy because it is the only source of income other than the generosity of members and friends.

The Albir congregation holds services at the Norwegian Seamen’s Church on Carrer Mart every Sunday and there is another service of Holy Communion at the Forum Mare Nostrum in Alfaz on Thursdays at 11am. The Church of England on the Costa Blanca has seven churches and the information about their location and times of services can be found at the website www.costablanca-anglicanchaplaincy. org. Anyone without access to the internet can call the Albir Church Warden Hazel Layt on 96 689 5306 or 659 018 400.

Walking wizard

HELP OF Denia and the Marina Alta is buying a ‘Walk Aide’ to help patients get back on their feet after life-saving treatment. by Jack Troughton The valuable piece of equipment will be placed in the La Pedrera Hospital’s physiotherapy department in Denia and will help with the rehabilitation of patients who have suffered from damage caused by brain tumours or other potentially life threatening diseases. The Aide is placed around the leg and sends out signals triggering the patient to lift and move the limb, helping them regain the ability to walk again. The equipment is being purchased with part of a 5,000€ donation from Cancer Care Javea, presented at the Cancer Care Boutique. A HELP spokeswoman said both charities raised funds at their charity shops, selling items given by the public “and it is so gratifying when charities pull together in this way for the benefit of all.”

Video of the Week!

It´s been revealed that pipes with traces of cannabis were discovered in William Shakespeare’s garden in Stratford-uponAvon, and also traces of cocaine were found nearby. Interesting fact is that coca leaves and marijuana were smoked as ‘tobacco’ during Elizabethan times. The question therefore is; were Drake, Raleigh and Will out their brains whilst his plays were being performed at Queen Elizabeth´s Court?

Will Wilder stay in the wilderness?

A publication in America called Áint it Cool News´ is suggesting Steven Spielberg is hot on the heels of Gene Wilder to try and entice him out of retirement with a role in two separate movies. This rumour gives me a chance to talk about an unsung hero of comedy acting, a man who turned 82 a couple of months ago. His career, movies-wise, began in earnest in a film called ´The Producers´ in 1968 that was panned by the critics at the time, but went on to become, and remains, a cult classic. He was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin, and aged 8, after seeing his sister in a school play, decided he wanted to become an actor. He studied drama at the University of Iowa, and in the mid 1950´s was granted a place at the Old Vic Theatre School in Bristol. The Producers was written and directed by Mel Brooks and Wilder went on to star in several more of his films including the gloriously funny ´Blazing Saddles´ and Ýoung Frankenstein.´ One of the films Spielberg could be tracking Wilder down to play in is Roald Dahl´s ´BFG´ (Big Friendly Giant), and he might well be tempted as one of his most spectacular roles was in Dahl´s ´Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory´ in 1971 when he mesmerised cinema-goers with his sublime portrayal of the rather bizarre Willy Wonka. The other movie Spielberg might have Wilder in mind for is ´Ready Player Alice Cooper has set up a new band called The One,´ a sci-fi story set in 2044 with the main plotline centred around the hunt for Hollywood Vampires that will include muso´s from bands like Aerosmith and Guns ń Roses as a virtual Easter Egg that lies concealed within one of thousands of other virtual well as Johnny Depp on guitar. Johnny arrived in worlds, pretty mad huh?, and seriously ideal for today’s hero Gene Wilder. LA in his teens as a guitarist in a rock band, but A clear insight into the man´s character came in 2005 when he described drifted off into acting. The Hollywood Vampires himself religion-wise as Jewish-Buddhist-Atheist! will play in LA as well as Brazil´s ´Rock in Rio´

Music Notes

Festival in September with all proceeds going to charity MusiCares.

If you tune in to Channel 5 this evening (21st August) at 10 pm you´ll find Katie Price revealing all, yet again, in a programme called Katie Price: In Therapy. She´ll be speaking to Dr Claudia Bernat about how, because of her life in the spotlight, things might have been different, better! But it was you who instigated it all Katie! And here you are doing it again! Bleedin ´ell Gel!

Dads Army ran from 1968 to 1977, 80 episodes in total, and they made a very average film of the show in 1971. But they´ve got it right this time, and a quick look at’ Dads Army Official Global Trailer on YouTube will confirm this to be the case, and, they´ve gathered together quite some cast that includes, Toby Jones, Bill Nighy, Michael Gambon, and Catherine Zeta-Jones. After three ´Who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler´…

“Quote of the Week

“

Donny Osmund sung ´You are my Sunshine´ on the Andy Williams Show in 1963 when he was just 5 years old, and has continued to charm us with his ear to ear smile and sweet voice ever since. Having now got vocal cord issues, he will soon be operated on by Harvard surgeon Dr Steven M. Zeitel, who´s performed the same procedure for Adele, Sam Smith and Lionel Richie, so you’re in good hands there Donny boy.

First up McBusted’s Tom Fletcher and son Buzz enjoying a day out ‘Buzz and the Dandelions’, then the rather risqué ‘Pick a Dick’ on a newscast in America.

David Beckham on being criticised by the Daily Mail for letting his 4 year old daughter Harper still use a dummy “Those who criticize, think twice about what you say about other people’s children because actually you have no right to criticize me as a parent!’’ Right on Becks!

Jason Segel is famous for his role as Marshall Eriksen in USTV show ´How I Met Your Mother.´ When he won a role in new movie ´The End of the Tour´ he needed to be 40 pounds heavier, and to get there he

ate Hot Pockets every 3 hours. In case you don’t know what Hot Pockets are, they´re like a pasty filled with everything from savoury to sweet, so acting´s aint so bad after all huh?

Alice meets Charles CHARLES DODGSON published the magical

children’s story ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ 150 years ago under the pen name Lewis Carroll. by Jack Troughton A BRILLIANT mathematician, he lectured at Christ Church, Oxford, between 1855 and 1881, and amongst his hobbies was photography and he particularly enjoyed taking pictures of children. He loved making up stories to entertain youngsters and one Alice Liddell was a thrilled member of his audience and persuaded him to write some of these tales down. And when author Henry Kingsley visited the Liddell family he picked up on the stories and persuaded Charles to publish them, and they went on to thrill generations of youngsters. Javea Players have brought the hit one-man show ‘Crocodiles in Cream’ to the Costa Blanca as part

of a global celebration. Kevin Moore takes to the stage of Javea Players Studio Theatre as Lewis Carroll and audiences not only meet the man but also some of his characters. It is a captivating show, sometimes moving and at others hilarious – people might chortle...a word invented by Carroll in ‘Through the Looking Glass’. ‘Crocodiles in Cream’ plays the Studio Theatre in Javea Old town

from Monday 7th September to Friday 11th September from 8pm each night. Tickets are 12.50€ and are available from the Box Office on 96 647 1455 or by email to boxofficejp@gmail.com. La Cocina Restaurant is offering a special pre-theatre dinner from 6pm. Two courses are 16€, and three courses 19€, both including a half bottle of wine. To reserve a table call 96 579 5140.

Frozen Facebook Dear Aunty, My Face Book page has suddenly frozen. I am unable to close it , I am unable to use the panel on the left, ie. to read, or send e-mails, I can’t even close it down. I am using Internet Explorer. Fortunately I was able to switch to Google Chrome, which has allowed me to send this e-mail. Hope you can help again. Regards, Tom Aunty says: I am slightly confused. You say your Facebook page has frozen, but then you say you use it to send emails. I am not too sure if you can read and send emails via Facebook. And as far as I am are, Facebook does not have a panel on the left to read or send emails. Private messages yes, but not emails. However I see you are on Hotmail for your emails. Do you mean you are using Internet Explorer to read your Hotmails in Outlook? And Outlook on Internet Explorer is freezing.Well, this may be down to an addon in IE that is causing problems. So you will have to go into the IE addon options and try and find an addon that is causing the problem. But you already have found another solution - use Google Chrome instead of IE. Response: Hi Aunty, sorry for the confusion. Facebook doesn’t have a panel, you are right. I didn’t explain it very well, and now that you mention it, I am almost certain it was an Addon which was causing the problem. I continued to use Chrome, and was able to use the Internet as usual.

Plain text emails Dear Aunty, I hope you can help with this problem on my PC. I’m using Outlook 2003 with Windows 8, My emails open normally but when my wife tries to open hers it opens in plain text and not HTML which is very annoying. I have tried to fix this problem by switching of AVG antivirus to no avail and checked the settings in Mail Format which is set on HTML. I also deleted her account then set up a new account and still they open in plain text. Any suggestions? Thanks in anticipation, Maurice. Aunty says: There are two reasons why this may be happening. Firstly, check your settings in Outlook may be saying to convert to text. Change this in Tools > Trust Center > Email Security > uncheck ‘read all messages as plain text’. Next look at the AVG settings. It may be that AVG is scanning the email and is attaching a “no virus ....” text message at the end. You can in the AVG options disabled this notification. Response: Thank you for your reply. I went into settings in outlook and in the options I unticked the box which read” read messages in plain text” and it was cured. Thank you very much for the help and keep up the excellent work

Past continuous or Imperfect tense As we continue with our look at the past continuous or imperfect tense, we only have one piece of business left to do as far as putting it together goes, and that is to look at the only three irregular verbs. Yes, I did say three because that’s how few there are. In fact, I think I am correct in saying that this tense is the one with the fewest irregular verbs in the whole Spanish language. Our three verbs are SER, IR and VER, so let’s look at SER first. ERA ÉRAMOS ERAS ÉRAIS ERA ERAN When would we use this verb in this way? Well, first of all to give a description of a person or a scene – “El hombre era alto”; (the man was tall) “Las casas eran muy pequeñas” (the houses were very small) “¿eras un buen estudiante?” (Were you a good student?). Another common use of SER is when describing a number of people

as in the phrase “Éramos diez personas en la clase” (There were ten of us in the class). In addition we use this form of SER to talk about someone’s job in the past: “Yo era contable y mi marido era electricista” (I was an accountant and my husband was an electrician). Our second irregular verb is IR and it goes like this: IBA ÍBAMOS IBAS ÍBAIS IBA íBAN Here are some example sentences. Notice that the actual words of the translations can vary, but the sense is the same. “Yo iba a clase todos los días” (I used to go (went) to class every day). “El autobus iba a Barcelona los sábados” (The bus used to go (went) to Barcelona on Saturdays). We can also use this form as a past tense version of “voy a” etc. (I’m going to) to express intention. “Voy a hablar con mi marido” (I’m going to talk to my husband). “Iba a hablar con mi marido”

Suduko Answer

(I was going to talk to my husband). This last type of statement contains the implication that in the end I didn’t do whatever it was (I was going to talk to my husband … but in the end I didn’t). Another example of this is when someone you were going to phone, phones you first and you say “Te iba a llamar” (I was going to phone you). Finally we have the verb VER which is hardly irregular at all really. If it were entirely regular it would be “vía, vías, vía (building the endings onto the root “v”) but for some reason we leave the extra “e” in, which gives us: VEÍA VEÍAMOS VEÍAS VEÍAIS VEÍA VEÍAN And that is as irregular as this past tense gets, which I think is pretty good. Here’s a sentence, admittedly not a terribly interesting one, which uses all three verbs. “Cuando yo era niña, no veía mucha tele, sino iba a jugar en el parque con mis amigas.”

Tired Vision is now Operable Dr. Juan Carlos Albelda, Baviera Clinic ophthalmologist in Denia, explains the latest treatments to solve the problem of presbyopia, or tired vision. “Trifocal lenses enhance even further the results of intervention for tired vision” Many people are still unaware that tired vision is operable, and that those who undertake the procedure can eliminate the need for glasses as well as cure their presbyopia. Dr. Juan Carlos Albelda, Denia’s Baviera Clinic ophthalmologist explains how this visual problem can affect us and what the latest medical treatments that solve it are. What is Presbyopia? Over the years, the lens loses its elasticity and thereby its ability to focus images, leading inevitably to presbyopia; that is, the inability to see sharp up close and do normal activities like reading our mobile phone, read a restaurant menu or look at the expiration date of a product. This elasticity is not lost “suddenly” but is gradually reduced from 40 or 45 years of age and over 15 years, until totally lost. Often it is at from aged 50 that the patient begins to rely on cumbersome close vision glasses, to perform essential tasks in close distances. And how you can treat Presbyopia? There are two treatments: implanting a multifocal intraocular lens and laser. Depending on the characteristics of each patient, age and diagnosis made by the specialist ophthalmologist, he opts for one technique or another. To find out which

technique should be applied, the patient must first go to a preoperative consultation in which we will make some simple tests to analyze their specific features and personalized treatment to apply. What is the treatment using an intraocular lens? It is to replace the lens with the latest generation trifocal intraocular lens that provides good vision at all distances without the need for glasses and / or contact lenses. With this technique, which does not require hospitalization and enables rapid recovery, we can also remove other defects associated such as myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism, and prevent future cataracts. The intraocular lens has brought a new revolution in the field of ophthalmology for treating presbyopia, comparable to the original advance of laser surgery for treating myopia. Who is a candidate for this treatment? Anyone with eyestrain, compared to their previous vision. Typically, the patient profile is around 50, although it is true that presbyopia starts to manifest from 40 or 45 years of age. What progress has been made in this area in recent years? Until recently, we substituted an intraocular bifocal lens that allowed the patient to recover two

planes of vision: far and near. These lenses offered a highly satisfactory result, but raised some areas for improvement. Now however, we use Clinical Baviera trifocal intraocular lenses that allow us to further enhance the results obtained with this intervention, to recover vision for ALL distances. In what aspects does the use of trifocals improve the operation results? The first aspect that the use of trifocals improves is in the intermediate vision –that which we need to work in front of the computer. We have observed that most of the patients treated with a trifocal lens recovered their full range of vision and are able to perform any activity without using glasses or contact lenses. The second aspect that we noted is to minimize the occurrence of nocturnal halos (circles of light around spotlights).

Taylor Trophy Winners at Javea! After six weeks of enjoyable competitive bowling under the floodlights at Javea Green bowls club, the Taylor Trophy Competition came down to the very last games.

If Taylor Made could beat North and South they could take the title, but Monday Night Takeaway only needed a draw against the 6 Amigos who were propping up the table, to become Champions. However if they both slipped up then BBC Bandits could sneak into second place providing they beat Top of the Milk. The scene was set for a pulsating finish, who would win and take the prizes, well actually nobody!! The top three teams all got beaten, so the final league table revealed the Monday Night Takeaway of Chris Evans, Clive English, Jonathan Barr, Jenny Rich, Maureen Barrie and Bill Barrie as deserved Champions. The runners up were Taylor Made, with North and South just pipping the BBC Bandits to third place on shot difference. Huge congratulations to Chris Evans for a splendidly organised competition.

Benitachell Bowls Club: “The Great Paella Bake Off” Bowls Club prides itself on it’s social side as well as it’s bowling and our “Paella Bake Off” was no exception. Seven chefs (all BBC members) pitted their skills against each other to be crowned Top Chef. After a very closely run contest , judged by Dirk Reinhardt from Benitachell Ayuntamiento, the trophy went to Rod Warnes, pictured above cooking his prize winning Paella. Many members enjoyed a fabulous evening of good food, wine anddancing with music provided by Barry Peters. CBBA NORTHERN SUMMER LEAGUE The top of the table clash between the BBC Panthers and Javea Green Sharks saw some excellent bowling with the Sharks edging the

result with 6 game to 5 and a draw plus the overall shot difference of 8 to win the match 15 points to eleven. Both teams go into the final match with the Panthers away to Javea Jets, 15 points clear of the Sharks who are away to El Cid. The Panthers need only 12 points to win the league minus any points that the Sharks drop in their last match. Our Cougars were away to El Cid where they picked up a good 16 points to ten to remain in third place in the league with their last match at home to Bonelba on Monday 17th August.

Pego Golf Society “singles stableford competition”

Oliva Nova golf course Tuesday 18th of August 2015.

The PGA Championship concludes the Majors for 2015

And we now know who won the Major Wager. By Tony Myles THE MASTERS, the first event of each Golf year, is always staged at Augusta and this spectacular course was the launch pad for the Player of the Year - Jordan Spieth who collected his first Major trophy, winning by four strokes ahead of Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose. Round two was the US Open which this year was hosted at Chambers Bay and once again saw Jordan holding off Louis Oosthuizen and Dustin Johnson by one shot to collect his second Major and spark speculation that maybe he could go on and win the full set. Then across the pond for the annual links based OPEN which was back at St Andrews. It was tough and the weather as always played a significant role forcing the match into a fifth day to be concluded on the Monday. It was a game of good news and bad news. The good news was for Zach Johnson who survived the play-off against Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman. It was also good news for all the Monday spectators who were able to view the final day for a mere £10. The bad news was largely for Jordan who needed four putts on a par three and in doing so sunk his chances of collecting the Claret Jug. The Grand Final PGA Championship was tough. It was based at Whistling Straits alongside Lake Michigan and where the organisers could only provide a rough estimate of the number of bunkers - somewhere around 1000. The ever

controversial John Daly had watched three of tee shots slice into the lake before playing safe and scoring a 10 but not before he had sent his club to the same watery destination. Others finding it equally hard included Tiger Woods who once again failed to continue into the weekend. Also popular with the Major Wagerers and taking no part after Friday was Ian Poulter, Shane Lowry and OPEN winner - Zach Johnson! So who will be joining Campbell with their partner for a round at La Sella and lunch? It was all very close but there was a clear winner. In third place was Ann Gibson with an impressive 1538.9 points. Second and even closer was Ian Evans who secured 1573.75 points But the overall winner of the Campbell Lamont Major Wager 2015 is GEORGE BRADDICK. George scored 1592.5. Well done George!

everyday language. Tony M - Exactly. So what does IDK mean? Campbell - I don’t know. Tony M - Ah well I will ask someone else.

Toyota Auris Tourer Hybrid HYBRIDS ARE all very well but they’re generally smaller than traditional cars and therefore less user-friendly. Well, at least that used to be the case with the likes of the Honda CR-Z. THE LARGEST was a hatchback, either a Toyota Prius or the more luxurious Lexus CT200h. No estates. Well, not until Toyota launched the new Auris Hybrid Tourer, which provides the environmentally conscious with a well sized, capable vehicle and also performance. Things have really moved on since I drove a hybrid a year ago. My first acquaintance with the striking island blue estate is at night. It’s always more of a challenge to drive a car you’re unfamiliar with when it’s dark, for obvious reasons. A click of the keyfob and I’m inside. The delivery driver was fairly short by all accounts as my knees are around my neck as I sit in the driver’s seat. It’s easy to adjust. In common with other hybrids I am instantly struck by a feeling of fear as I rummage around for the ignition and even though I push the button start on the right of the steering wheel, there is an unnerving silence. The automatic box does not look very substantial but on engaging the reverse function it quietly moves backwards. There is an electric parking brake and a traditional one; the first car I have come across with two. The dashboard looks a bit boxy especially where the sat nav is located; it looks like an afterthought. Over time the driver does become more used to it, though. It’s a large car, not dissimilar to the Ford Focus estate in terms of styling. Head on, it’s attractive and the front looks striking and well designed. The large panoramic glass roof that stretches from the front to the back of the vehicle has

an electric cover and this, in common with those found in Peugeots, is a winning formula. It makes the cabin much lighter when the sun does decide to show its face. With my growing family we’re having to make use of every bit of space our Victorian terrace house has to offer and so I have cleared the loft to make way for a more imaginative use of this space; office come bedroom. Needless to say I have a great deal of rubbish to take to the tip including old bits of wood and plasterboard and a vacuum cleaner. The cavernous boot swallows it all with ease and a roof box from roofcarriers. co.uk is also a great help. Although I have to push down two of the rear seats to make way for this large load, it is so easy to do; you simply pull a lever on the right of the boot. Removing the security cover in the boot does prove a little more awkward.
