Farage under fire

Friday, November 11 - Thursday, November 17 2016

OUTSPOKEN FORMER UKIP leader Nigel Farage came under attack this week for rabble-rousing and urging people to take to the streets over court delays to an EU exit. by jack troughton

The Government has lodged an appeal against the High Court ruling that it would be unconstitutional for Britain to begin the process of leaving the European Union without a vote in Parliament. And Mr Farage has called for demonstrations and protests to allow people to vent their anger at what he believes is tactic to delay ‘Brexit’ following the June referendum. However, visiting the Costa Blanca on Tuesday Labour’s Shadow Minister for Transport Andy McDonald hit out at both the controversial politician and the “vitriolic” headlines in the British national press. “Nigel Farage is basically promoting violence in the streets,” said the MP for Middlesbrough, who pointed out racist incidents had increased ever since the historic vote. “And papers like the Daily Mail are using headlines similar to those seen in the German press in the thirties, this is serious, serious stuff.” Mr McDonald, speaking to Labour International Costa Blanca, agreed it would be undemocratic to ignore the referendum result after 52% of people voted to leave.

BOOKIES’ FAVOURITE Hilary Clinton fell at the last fence in the White House Handicap and punters ripped up their betting slips before taking to the streets to have a good old moan about the state of the nation. Once again the polls got it wrong. The outsider, the anti-establishment candidate romped home and the establishment went back to analysing the quality of the horse flesh in the race. Since the beginning of the steeplechase, it was clear many voters were questioning the pedigree of the politicians standing for the world hot seat and as the name Trump nosed towards the front, it was also clear he appealed to people who felt the political elite no longer represented them. The pollsters also got it wrong this side of the pond over Brexit and the referendum. Immigration became the biggest single issue – along with, take note here, once again the feeling the leaders in the Houses of Parliament no longer had anything in common with voters. A disgruntled democracy creaks horribly. On both sides of the Atlantic and throughout the free world it is time to oil the machine – or face the rise of dangerous nationalist and the far right movements.

Antiques still valued ANTIQUES AND collectables remain popular with the public and television programmes continue to commission programmes, said TV veteran Mark Stacey. by Jack Troughton The celebrity expert – known for appearances on shows such as Bargain hunt, Flog It! and the Antiques Road Trip – visited the Costa Blanca this week to cast an eye over a succession of valuables. The visit was organised by Denia U3A and over two mornings, Mark charmed visitors to Cafe Amazing in Marquis de Campo while admiring their precious items. And the event helped raise 532€ for Denia U3A’s “good cause” and will buy Christmas presents for the youngsters living at the residential children’s home at Los Rotas. Mark, an antiques dealer and auctioneer, who has worked for Bonham’s and Sotheby’s, took time to reveal some of the secrets of how he broke into television after auditioning for the BBC – and one of his favourite moments was a celebrity Antiques Road Trip with Jennifer Saunders. Pictured with Mark is Pam Rowlinson who organised the celebrity valuations after Mark was approached by Denia U3A approached the big-hearted expert earlier this year.

Donald Trump´s America PRESIDENT BARACK Obama is to meet successor Donald Trump at the White House to attempt a smooth hand over of power – as protests spread across the United States over his election. by Jack Troughton Demonstrators marched in cities across the USA following the announcement of the Republican Party candidate´s victory over the bookies’ favourite Democrat Hilary Clinton in Tuesday’s poll. And the Washington meeting could be difficult, during a sometimes controversial campaign, the incoming President – he will be inaugurated in January – has questioned Mr Obama’s US citizenship and promised to dismantle a number of his key policies. Mr Obama, who at one point said Mr Trump was ‘unfit’ for office, has urged the country to accept the result; saying: “We are now all rooting for his success in uniting and leading the country.” As the two presidents discuss matters Mr Trump´s wife Melania will hold talks with First Lady Michelle Obama. Despite chants of “not my president” being heard in the street, Mrs Clinton also called for calm; she urged that he “must be given a chance to lead.” Outside Trump Tower in New York, thousands attacked the Republican´s outspoken stance on immigration, gay rights, and women. A reported 15 people were arrested. Marches were also staged in Oakland, California, a Los Angeles freeway was closed by the sheer numbers of people, and outside Trump Tower in Chicago, the chant was; “No Trump, no KKK, no fascists USA.” Republicans now hold a majority in both chambers of Congress, which is seen as an advantage for the president introducing new legislation. After winning a bitter campaign battle, Mr Trump said: “What a beautiful and important evening. Forgotten men and women will never be forgotten again. We will all come together as never before.” And he said he wanted to “bind the wounds and divisions” between the two sides following the acrimonious fight for the White House. Mr Trump said: “I want to tell the world that while we will always put America’s interests first, we will deal fairly with everyone.” World leaders sent messages of congratulations to Mr Trump after the result was announced. British Prime Minister Theresa May said the UK and USA had “an enduring and special relationship” and would remain close partners with common values of “freedom, democracy, and enterprise.”

Farage under fire

11 nov - 17 nov 2016

by jack troughton OUTSPOKEN ACTING UKIP leader Nigel Farage came under attack this week for rabblerousing and urging people to take to the streets over court delays to an EU exit. The Government has lodged an appeal against the High Court ruling that it would be unconstitutional for Britain to begin the process of leaving the European Union without a vote in Parliament. And Mr Farage has called for demonstrations and protests to allow people to vent their anger at what he believes is tactic to delay ‘Brexit’ following the June referendum. However, visiting the Costa Blanca on Tuesday Labour’s Shadow Minister for Transport Andy McDonald hit out at both the controversial politician and the “vitriolic” headlines in the British national press. “Nigel Farage is basically promoting violence in the streets,” said the MP for Middlesbrough, who pointed out racist incidents had increased ever since the historic vote. “And papers like the Daily Mail are using headlines similar to those seen in the German press in the thirties, this is serious, serious stuff.” Mr McDonald, speaking to Labour International Costa Blanca, agreed it would be undemocratic to ignore the referendum result after 52% of people voted to leave. “The reality is that we did have this damned referendum, notwithstanding that Nigel Farage himself said if there was a 52-48 split in favour of remaining it should be redone,” he said. The slogan ‘Brexit means Brexit’ was not particularly helpful, said the shadow minister. “Now the high court has said ‘yes, we are a Parliamentary democracy’. People used to make a big thing about the fact Parliament was sovereign. “We cannot stop the triggering of Article 50 but we must set out some parameters; we are not saying the Government must show its cards but it has to tell us what game she is playing.” DISGRACE And Mr McDonald said an issue that “should immediately be put to bed” was the status of people living and working across the 28 member states. “Using EU citizens as bargaining chips is disgraceful.” The MP added: “If every EU citizen got up and walked out of the UK tomorrow, our health service would collapse and our care industry would collapse. “Getting rid of everybody who is not British means, at least, you will be able to wrap up the bodies in Union Jacks.” He admitted that the referendum result was “depressing” and the fact some 60% of his constituents voted to leave was “quite a blow”. Mr McDonald added: “People said ‘I don´t care, I voted to leave’ or Í don´t like Cameron, so I voted to leave – everyone said ‘I don’t like Pakistanis…I want them to go’. Unfortunately, Pakistan is not in the EU.” He said other arguments, such as the debate about such things as prosperity and employment, or the issue of peace and security were lost. And the politician, a lawyer and former councillor and won his seat in a by-election almost four years ago, said he had talked to a couple at a polling station about o travel in Europe. “The gentleman punched the air and said Í have opened Pandora’s Box´. He knew the circumstances but wished to unleash chaos on the UK and Europe.” And he concluded: “We have some history of referenda but I thought it was a ludicrous thing to do on this subject because people walked into the polling stations thinking of other things. “On immigration, we should tell it as it is. Tell people the benefits of immigration but not shy away from the difficulties it presents.” Mr McDonald is pictured (centre) with (from left) Labour International´s Moira john, Javea PSOE Councillor Kika Mata, PSOE councillor Pepa Gisbert, and Tony Lawton of Labour International.

Help for Olaya GENEROUS PEOPLE on the Costa Blanca are coming together to help the family of little Olaya who needs specialist treatment after being born with a rare disorder known as brittle bone disease. by Jack Troughton The genetic condition, Osteogenisis Imperfecta, means the 14-week-old baby girl has an extremely weak skeleton and her bones are prone to fracture. It was first diagnosed during a routine post-natal check-up when Olaya was found to have suffered a broken leg. Now mum Laura Goberna Torragrosa, 25, must take Olaya to Valencia and Madrid for treatment – an unexpected financial burden. However, the local community has been quick to come to the family’s aid. The charity Grant A Wish has stepped in to help, a sponsored swim raised more than 900€ and a special ‘Concert for Olaya’ is taking place on Saturday 19th November. The concert has been organised by Howard Westcott – part of the ‘Heart of Javea’ appeal which raised over 17,000€ for the volunteer firemen, Red Cross and Civil Protection after fires devastated the Marina Alta town in September.

He said: “In conjunction with the great people at Grant a Wish, I was encouraged to organise this event. I know many of the local musicians in the area and when I asked them to play; they immediately offered their services for free at a concert for Olaya. “Since then local businesses and people have supported the day which hopefully will raise funds to support Olaya and her family at this difficult time”. The event will be at the Lancashire Bruja Bar in Javea from 3pm till late. Tickets are 10€ and include food provided by bar owners and charity supporters Nigel and Karen Rushton, and a raffle ticket with prizes donated by many local business and individuals. Howard added: “I hope the community will support this initiative again and continue to show what a caring and supportive town Javea is.” Tickets are available at the Lancashire Bruja, The L’Encant in the Javea Old Town or by email to howardwestcott@ymail.com.

Support group closes VOLUNTARY SUPPORT group The Listeners and its sister charity Stepping Stones are to close because of a lack of members. The north Costa Blanca charity decided to take the step at a recent meeting and The Listeners will cease offering its services from Saturday 17th December; Stepping Stones at the end of the year. In a statement, the charity said: “This decision has been taken because, like many groups dependant on unpaid volunteers to offer individual help and support to members of the public, we have for some time now found it difficult to recruit and train new volunteers. “This is now affecting our ability to competently maintain the Listeners 24-hour Helpline, although we will continue the Stepping Stones bereavement and loss support group for the remainder of the year. “We would like to thank all the companies and individuals who have supported us over the years through donations, publicity, encouragement and contributions, both physically and monetary.” It concluded: “We very much regret that circumstances have forced us to take this decision. As a positive, all the current volunteers intend to remain in the charity sector, and where practical, direct clients to other support groups in the area.”

Police earn Halloween treat

www.roundtownnews.com

by Jack Troughton SPANISH POLICE arrested a French fugitive disguised in a devil costume at a Halloween party after almost three years on the run. National Police have now released details of how 47-yearold Hamid Hakkar was arrested in Malaga along with two people alleged to have helped him evade capture. The hitman – an Algerian jailed for 15 years for the killing of a drug smuggler – has been at large since November 2013 when he failed to return to jail after temporary leave. He had been on France’s ‘most-wanted’ list for murder, money laundering, and drug trafficking. He was caught on the Costa del Sol wearing a red mask, black horns, fake sharp teeth, a black cape and wig. And Hakkar was no stranger to life on the run; in 1998 he escaped from a Paris prison after swapping places with a visitor. On that occasion it took five years to return him to gaol. The arrest marks the end of a Spanish investigation launched last month when officers found two guns, ammunition, a silencer, fake papers, 5,000€, and eight mobile phones in a Malaga house.

Ramblers step out

THE RAMBING Walkers Marina Alta enjoyed exploring the Pinos Valley with breathtaking views of the Montgo and Bernia. Last Thursday more than 60 members and guests met at Bar Refugio overlooking the valley and left in two groups; the first headed down into the valley and followed a circular 5km route back to the bar. The main group drove 3km into the valley, parked, and walked into the Barranca Guilleu. They trekked 7.5km back to the bar passing interesting casitas, the hamlet of Casas de Berdiola and the Bernia Font. Appetites honed by the exercise, both groups enjoyed the hospitality of Bar Refugio with a hearty rustic-style lunch. The group is made up of people from all walks of life and nationalities and meets on alternate Thursdays from September to June.

Peaks and troughs IN A shrinking world, much-loved chocolate bar Toblerone illustrates the how slimmed down favourites disguise price hikes. by Jack Troughton It is a concept known as ‘shrinkflation’ – customers pay the same price for their shopping but get less product. This week Toblerone made international news after being ‘redesigned’ for the UK market. The iconic Alpine chocolate peaks have been eroded to leave more ‘valleys’. And the lighter bar is being sold for the same price. However, the 400g chocolate now weights only 350g; instead of 15 peaks there are controversially just 11. Manufacturers say it is a way of compensating for the rising cost of ingredients and according to Which? in the last year there are a number of other brands guilty of a “sneaky way of increasing prices”. Ratula Chakraborty, a retail specialist at the University of East Anglia, said: “I think it’s going to happen even more. Manufacturers want to keep their prices low and inflation is happening, commodity prices are changing; so who is going to pay? It will be you and I. “And I think we should be keeping a watchful eye everywhere: on food products, fresh produce, household products and grocery products.”

Veteran DJ dies SIR JIMMY Young, the veteran broadcaster, has died “peacefully at home” aged 95 with his wife Alicia at his side. One of the original BBC Radio 1 DJs, he spent almost 30 years on BBC Radio 2 after moving in 1973. Sir Jimmy, knighted in 2002 after already being award the OBE and CBE, interviewed every British Prime Minister between 1964 and 2010, and the Queen is said to have been a loyal listener. And before his radio career, he had a number of hit singles including a cover of Nat King Cole’s ‘Too Young’ and the classic ‘Unchained Melody’ – he blamed the rise of one Elvis Presley for ending his singing career.

in retreat

M&S PLANS the closure of 30 clothing and homeware shops across the UK with dozens more being switched into popular food stores. by Jack Troughton The British High Street giant is also planning to shut loss-making stores across 10 international markets; including its flagship store in France, the department store on the Champs Elysees in Paris, for the second time. One retail analyst described the retreat from overseas as a “humiliating moment” and “A Dunkirk moment for the iconic British brand”. However, experts said rather than losing face, M&S was closing its international stores to concentrate on turning round its key UK business before expanding abroad. Chief Executive Steve Rowe announced the plans – which include opening 200 new ‘Simply Food’ stores – as it moves away from disappointing fashion sales. It follows the brand reporting falling sales and profits in the six months to the end of September. Mr Rowe said: “This is about building a sustainable, more profitable business that’s relevant for our customers in a digital shopping age.” He said shoppers still “love” M&S but it must do better and with new food outlets opening the company would have more shops overall and more towns would “have an M&S” The sites facing closure and the number of jobs to go were not detailed. However, unions have already warned that staff were “extremely concerned” about where the axe will fall. M&S has more than 300 full-range stores across the UK, selling clothing, homeware and food. It has almost 600 ‘Simply Food’ shops.

Kids down pens

PARENTS ACROSS Spain ordered children to down pens last weekend in a protest against the large amount of homework handed out to their kids. Students from 12,000 schools nationwide have been told not to do any homework during the month of November because they feel youngsters spend too many hours bent over their books. CEAPA, the Spanish Alliance of Parents’ Associations, has called the action after complaining homework was detrimental to children. A study found Spanish children and teenagers have an average of 6.5 hours of homework a week, compared to an average of 4.9 hours after a survey of 38 countries.

The church silver TORREVIEJA CHURCH Fellowship celebrates its 25th anniversary of its 1991 inauguration over the weekend of 26th and 27th November. Regular members of the congregation and guests will enjoy a special social event to celebrate with a buffet and ‘lighthearted’ entertainment. And everyone is invited to a celebratory service on Sunday 27th November. Guest speaker at both events will be Simon Foster from the UK’s Elim churches.

U3A strikes autumn gold U3A MEMBERS explored the Rincon de Ademuz on an enjoyable trip to the inland ‘island’ of Valencia; currently with trees a blaze of autumnal red and gold. The trip was organised by U3A Oliva and enjoyed by 45 members – including six from Denia – who spent three or four days walking and sightseeing. And one of three walking trips, a group of 16 climbed to a cross on the top of hills behind Arroya Cerezon (pictured) – the summit ‘La Cruz de Los Tres Reinos’, is where three Spanish independent communities meet; Valencia, Aragon, and Castile La Mancha. At the top it is possible to sit in Valencia and stretch a foot into the Aragon’s Teruel province, and the Castile La Mancha province of Cuenca. A bonus for everyone on the trip was a 5kg bag of apples after the hotel owner invited everyone to pick fruit from his orchards.

Sad end for Dave the worm EARTHWORM DAVE entered the record books as the largest ever found in the UK – and then had people squirming as he was killed by scientists. by Jack Troughton

The worm measured 40cm – 15.7in – and weighed a mighty 26g, an ounce in old money, after being caught above ground in a Widnes vegetable plot by Paul Rees and named Dave by stepson George. The earthworm, Lumbricus terrestris, was sent to the Natural History Museum and was named the largest specimen ever discovered – before being killed and preserved in the “sad bit of science”. However, his fate caused an outcry over social media despite having been sacrificed for science. Emma Sherlock of the Natural History Museum said: I was bowled over by the size of this worm when I opened the plastic box they sent it in. “Not only was it really long, it was almost twice as heavy as any other wild earthworm ever seen, weighing the same as a small chocolate bar. Dave is now preserved, and will now be useful to science. “And although his name is on the jar is Lumbricus terrestris, little George did request that his real name, Dave, be preserved forever too – so on the label it clearly states ‘known as Dave’ and that will be reflected in the museum database too.” The previous largest worm found in 2015 grew to 39.6cm, 15.6 inches, and was found on the Scottish island of Rum. Tributes on Twitter read: “RIP Dave. You were unique and before your time and it would have been amazing to see a blackbird wrestle with you”; another said “Still saddened by the senseless euthanasia of Dave the earthworm.” And another tweet said “He might have got bigger if you hadn’t murdered him!!” while a fourth read: “It does strike me as odd the Natural History Museum measured the UK’s longest ever worm and then killed it!”

Scrooge finds Christmas SOUNDS FAMILIAR returns with the perfect stocking filler - a full musical adaptation of ‘A Christmas Carol’, the famous festive tale penned by Charles Dickens. by Jack Troughton The story of Ebenezer Scrooge’s redemption takes place at the Casa de Culura in Calpe on Wednesday 30th November and Thursday 1st December; a timely reminder about the true spirit of Christmas. The group has taken the decision to just stage the two performances at one venue for a very simple reason – the set is too large to move between different theatres. Scenery has taken months to complete. Built on split levels, it stretches the full width of Calpe’s stage and transforms the space into a London street from the mid-19th century; complete with snow. It helps to capture the atmosphere as the cast tell the story of the miser Scrooge (pictured with his clerk Bob Cratchit) being visited by time-travelling ghosts educating him in the true meaning of Christmas. The show is full of fun, laughter, drama and song and features the well-loved characters from the book. And the show is also helping to raise funds for charity Friends of the Children of Emaús. In addition, on the nights of the shows, the foyer of the Auditorium is also going to be a drop-off point for items to go into the ‘Santa Sacks’, being prepared for the children on Christmas Day. Tickets are 12€ and are available from Margaret & Elena’s Book & Card Shop at Galerias Mar Azul, Avenida Gabriel Miro in Calpe, by calling 96 558 1483 or online at www.philipashley.com/boxoffice.php.

Advertising Feature What is Housers? Presented by its founders After a very interesting conversation regarding ‘what is crowdfunding’ and their unique crowdfunding platform to invest in Real Estate in Spain, this is what they told us: 1. What is crowdfunding? Crowdfunding is a way of raising finance by asking a large number of people each for a small amount of money. Until recently, financing a business, project or venture involved asking a few people for large sums of money. Crowdfunding switches this idea around, using the internet to talk to thousands – if not millions – of potential funders. Typically, those seeking funds will set up a profile of their project on a website such as those run by our members. They can then use social media, alongside traditional networks of friends, family and work acquaintances, to raise money. 2. What or who led you to real estate crowdfunding? The changing real estate cycle in Spain has created new opportunities: in 2014 the prices stabilized and 2015 and 2016 are showing recovery via price increase y demand increase. We wanted to democratize this recovering market and Crowdfunding is a perfect way to do so 3. In what way is the real estate crowdfunding and Housers different? In regular real-estate investment, your money is invested in one or few properties and you need large amounts to be able to participate in this market. Via Housers everybody can participate in the real estate market while the minimum investment is just 50€ and you can invest in as many properties as you like.

4. How do you choose the properties? We carefully check each property that is offered to us on profitability, ease of rent and revaluation perspective. 5. Why should people choose this way to invest? It allows them to diversify their investment, thus reducing the risks. Also since Housers manages the whole process, from purchase to lease to sale, the customer does’t have to worry about paperwork, tenants etc. 6. Who should be visiting Housers website and why? Anyone who wants to invest in his financial future at low risk, but wants more benefits than the current low interest rates that banks offer 7. How much does it cost to invest? Nothing. Signing up is free, and also the segretated Housers account is free. (Your housers account is linked to a segretated account in an independent financial institution, assuring that your money is safe while waiting to be invested in the properties published on our web. 8. How do people make money? Housers make money every month when dividends are paid, based on the rental income of each property and when the projected sales price is reached, they also share in the capital gains that this property has generated. 9. Please share with us anything that you think has contributed to the success of Housers: Making available to everyone something as imaginative as investment in real estate, something that was reserved to the wealthy. Everything via an easy online platform, with no paperwork hassle and no

daily management for the users. 10. Is there anything else you’d like to share with our listeners/readers? Housers brings the investment power to the people! Now everyone can be a landlord and create a heritage for the future. Thank you for your time and interest in Housers and we hope to welcome you soon on our website WWW.HOUSERS.COM

Inheritance taxes and the truth about the European Regulation 650/2012 We want to highlight on this article, the confusing and sometimes incorrect information that the expatriates in Spain - and Spanish people with interests abroad - are receiving from some professionals regarding Inheritance Tax. As we have mentioned on several occasions, the EU Regulation 650/2012 is already in force regarding inheritance. It is advised by some legal agents, financial advisors, and tax specialists that because this regulation, in Article 22, allows national law to be chosen as the applicable law to the succession, it is advisable - if taxes payable on the country of the nationality of the testator (the person making the will) are more convenient - to choose their national tax law to pay less inheritance tax. But this advice is wrong, because the European Regulation 650/2012 relates to the applicable law to the succession. For example, whether English law applied in principle it could be understood that there is freedom to testate, but under the Spanish law, there are certain limitations on this freedom, and therefore there are certain portions of the Estate that are normally reserved for descendants or spouse. It is not true that you can choose to pay inheritance taxes in one country or another, or under the law of one country or another. This Regulation expressly excludes in fiscal or revenue and administrative public law matters, and each state in relation to the succession of assets in its country, will determine the calculation, payment of taxes, etc. Furthermore, Article 1 of this Regulation

says: This Regulation shall apply to succession to the estates of deceased persons. It shall not apply to revenue, customs or administrative matters. Therefore, it is incorrect that the Regulation 650/2012 allows people to choose between

paying taxes under the law of the country or another, as the fiscal and tax succession matters are not within its scope. Therefore, if you have property in Spain and you want to make proper succession tax planning, you should know that it is not true that you can choose what law you want to

apply for the payment of inheritance tax, as the regulation does not affect inheritance taxation, which are governed by the laws of different states. If you want to make a will, plan your inheritance tax, etc. properly, contact us and we will help.

John Porter International Financial Adviser

Interesting times ahead for investors As I write this article the news has just come in on Donald Trump and the Republicans stunning win in the U.S. Presidential elections. This has caused an immediate negative reaction in the financial and investment markets and, quite rightly, will be causing Investors a good deal of angst. There’s no doubt that markets will remain highly volatile in the short term but there is no reason to believe that Armageddon is approaching. The U.S. economy is and will remain in good shape and the Global Investment outlook remains positive. Indeed, there is every reason to believe that there is an opportunity to increase one’s Investment Portfolio profile. Certainly, safeguarding Capital is always a prime consideration but with

Deposit interest rates at current levels there is an argument to consider restructuring one’s finances to provide a better return. I would expect the UK to benefit from the leadership change in the U.S. via trade deals and ever closer ties which should help to bolster the economy. Europe still has issues, with elections coming up Italy this year and Germany, France and Holland next year, and with the current political landscape maybe the E.U. will realise that reform is needed or more shocks are in store. Political risk is now the major risk for investors in this volatile market. So, in an ever changing environment, it’s important to

realise that Investors and Savers need to fine tune their assets on a regular basis which is where we at Blacktower Financial Management (Int) Ltd come in. We constantly monitor all financial markets and advise accordingly to tailor an Investment plan suitable to any customers needs and provide personal and regular updates on all financial matters.

Hurricane hits Havana VACCUUM CLEANER salesman, gentle Jim Wormold plans to clean up after being recruited as a spy but soon finds himself at the centre of a violent tropical storm. by Jack Troughton Recruited by MI5 as ‘Our Man in Havana’, he soon warms to the patriotic challenge set by his rather snooty handlers and is soon creating a fictional network of colleagues to boost his limited income by claiming wages and expenses from London. However, while his reports back from the Caribbean both please and

sometimes puzzle with claims of new military installations; rather disturbingly, he also triggers a whole new chapter of counterespionage; worse, a very real body count starts to rise. Javea Players deserve a box of cigars for an evening bringing Graham Green’s novel – both spy thriller and political satire – to life at the Union Theatre in Gata. And it was

a whirlwind of action with 54 rapid scene changes and nine supporting actors playing 69 different characters; each wearing a different costume. Wormold, no one calls him Jim or even James until the end, is engagingly played by Andrew Cleven, who looks the part of the weather-worn expat on a steamy pre-Castro Cuba full of corruption, killings, booze, sleaze, fast women, and music. Things seem so easy for him at first. A new income stream allows him to pay for the good life demanded by daughter Milly (Rosemary Brown) and fall in love with Secretary Beatrice (Rosemary again), sent to keep an eye on his secret agent activities. Using a copy of Lamb’s

‘Tales from Shakespeare’ to encode his messages – there is even a balcony scene in the plot – Wormold is soon struggling and just one foot ahead of the law; the car chase was a comic masterpiece. He is forced into some quick thinking as his own life is threatened and seeks to outwit the cruel and cunning Captain Segura (Gary Johnson), a notorious policeman who tortures prisoners and has a human skin wallet. However, all’s well that ends well. Wormold makes it back to Blighty safely, is rewarded with a knighthood from the Queen and hooks up with his lady again - happy endings...and a great way to finish Javea Players’ 40th anniversary year with an accomplished show from cast, crew, and director Cherry Cabban. Thanks to Benny Davis for the pictures of Wormold at the wheel of the getaway car with Beatrice and showgirl Teresa, and being offered ‘a good time’ in the dark streets of Havana.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Mercury’s sextile with Mars opens new channels of communication. Try to get your message across and if necessary enlist the help of someone who may be able to interpret on your behalf. Make all negotiations on neutral territory and try to stick to your guns, whilst you realise what it would really be like if the boot was on another foot! With Venus entering into Capricorn and entering into a trine with Uranus it is quite clear that your have divided loyalties right now. Since this takes you way out of your comfort zone then take strides to normalise the situation; since it would have developed anyway, and you are not to blame. Be the shoulder to cry on when needed. Sliding into Sagittarius, Mercury is poised to sextile with Mars midweek and this brings out your investigative and intuitive streak. Something isn’t quite right and though you cannot put your finger on it you are now closer than ever to the truth. Be warned, however that someone is going to get hurt; though it won’t be you. A time to eliminate considerable clutter from your life, in all ways! Your love of being creative has led to many unfinished projects which now need to be discarded so you can focus better on the real job in hand. A relationship has gone stale; and though it has revived before, now it is time to just walk away with your head held high while you can. Aspects of the Sun this week filter into liaisons with planets Ceres and Kora and an ultimate clash with Uranus. It would seem that the way ahead is tempered with some minor irritating things that nevertheless do have to be dealt with. As Ceres calls time, Kora looks to a creative way of keeping your head above water and moving you on. Venus enters into Capricornian energies and in so doing opposes aspects of Saturn. There comes a delay to something that you have been looking forward to do. Whatever you planned take time to change the timings and then you will enjoy the success that you have always wanted; and you will not be disappointed in any way!

Venus enjoys a double trine with planets Uranus and Kora at the start of a busy week for you. Acting just like a retrograde aspect, planet Uranus actions with the Sun midweek bringing a situation that may have caused you some anxiety. This is only a Cosmic shift which, as a event has made a big mountain from out of a molehill!

The Mercury sextile with Mars puts you in a bad mood about something very trivial; but when you are angry with yourself things have a habit of being blown out of all proportion. Calmly plan your next move and in so doing you will resolve things and not take action that you may live to regret, and nothing comes back on you either.

Mercury enters into Capricorn and this can mean that the stakes are higher and you have to make a decision that takes in every poignant aspect into consideration. Look before you leap, yes, but know that someone is there to catch you, and tell you the real truth, which is what this conflict is really all about anyway! Venus enters and weaves her Goddess magic, aiming it straight to the heart, as usual. Stubbornly you have chosen to leave somebody not knowing where they stand; and though this may be unfair it is your way of stalling for time. If you are contemplating these silly games then you really are not ready to take on the love you need. A profound trine between your planetary leader and Venus brings up some buried memories and treasures from the past. Touched by the energies of the Sun midweek things may look entirely different as you realise that ongoing relationships will be your memories of the future. Go, make history, and, above all love what you do! Kora conjuncts with Ceres bringing strong urges and a chance for you to just follow the flow and be impulsive in what you do. Taking time for yourself is essential, and you need to charge your energies with some rest and relaxation. Work towards taking a few days to escape the day to day and refresh your beautiful soul!

leisure #auntyvirus & life ////////////////////////////////////

I may have a virus Dear Aunty, Whilst being connected to the internet this week I have twice received a message that came up on my screen warning me that I may have a virus and suggesting I should activate the field to “repair your system now”. The website it came from was ‘Support.online. com-security’. I took this to be a scam as it did not come from Microsoft and just cancelled the window. I wondered if you had come across this website and if it was genuine or not ? Regards, A. Fisher Reply: You are correct that it is a “scam”. You have some form of adware / malware / virus, that is causing this pop up to appear. It makes people think they have an issue with their PC, and that by clicking on their link, and buying their software will correct the “non existent” problem. You will need to run your antivirus software, along with an antiadware or malware software (Malwarebytes, or Hitman Pro for example) to see if they can remove it from your PC. You may also have to go into your internet browser settings and see if there any rogue addons or unwanted search engine options, and if your “home page” settings have been changed.

Slower than a snail!

Hi Aunty, I am having trouble with the speed of my computer. At times it is even slower than the Spanish snail mail. I regularly have to do a system restore to get it back to a reasonable speed, but the main thing I don’t understand is that every so often I get a message towards the top of the screen that says, “You have a web page that is slowing down your browser. What do you want to do?” It offers the options of “Stop it” or “Wait”. I have tried clicking on both(on different occasions) but neither seems to have had any effect. Any thoughts? Alex San Miguel Reply. Slow computers can be down to many things. Your PC is not powerful enough to do what you want it to do, ie slow processor speed or lack of memory. You are installing programmes slowing down the PC You are installing addons and extensions in browsers that are slowing them down. You are running multiple anti virus and antimalware programs at the same time. You are infected by adware, malware or a virus. Your drivers are not up to date. You are using an old or incompatible browser. A lot of things to check, but making sure you are not installing unwanted programs is a start.

ADELE: Tottenham´s ultimate headline maker! I´ve got a triple whammy on Adele for you today, so full attention span required. Pippa Middleton is first up after she announced recently that she wanted Adele to sing at her wedding to hedge-fund manager fiancé James Matthews, but with Adele charging $1 million for a private show it might not now happen! The wedding will take place next summer, “but don’t expect anything close to a royal wedding” said sister Kate “it will be elegant not a lavish event.” … Adele and Barbra Streisand are both signed to Columbia Records USA, and if a planned collaboration comes to fruition, the record will opt for the laid-back jazz lounge sound like Lady Gaga´s collaboration with Tony Bennett. And finally we come to Adele´s use of the four letter word. She swore 33 times during a recent BBC documentary, then said afterwards at a concert in Los Angeles “I’m trying to powder my tongue and not swear so much,” then when asking if there were any teachers in the audience said “f***ing hell, I love teachers … they’re so important in our lives.” Yes they f***ing are Adele!

11 nov - 17 nov 2016

Although Miley Cyrus is a mere 23 years old, she has garnered more headlines than someone twice her age. Miley followed her father Billy Ray into the music business with her first album ´Meet Miley Cyrus´ in 2007 when she was just 14. A million tabloid headlines later Miley is now a judge on the current ´The Voice USA, ´ and like all celebs in that line of work appear on all the big USTV talk shows. Talking to Ellen DeGeneres last week said about the diamond engagement ring given to her by her on and off boyfriend Liam Hemsworth “It’s weird because this is like real jewellery and most of my jewellery is made out of gummy bears and cotton candy, and they don’t look that good together!” Miley then admitted she said to long suffering boyfriend Liam “This isn’t really my aesthetic, but I’ll wear it because you love me.” Isn´t she just the cutest!

There´s a photo flying round the internet with the caption ´!s this a photo of Tom Hanks or Bill Murray? Hopefully Alice can find the actual photo, as it’s definitely one of the actors around a crying baby. The photo was originally posted on the ´Reasons My Son is Crying´ Facebook page three years ago by mother of the child Laura DiMichele-Ross, who submitted the picture of her son Alexander wailing next to the celebrity. She said to the BBC last week” It’s definitely Bill, me and my husband Adam met him at the Alfred Dunhill Links golf competition at St Andrews in October 2012.” Laura nailed the story beautifully when she then said “He´s a good person to follow as he jokes around and takes photos with fans … my son took one look at him and started bawling!” Love it!

Justin Timberlake broke the law by taking a selfie in a Tennessee voting booth! The Shelby County District Attorney’s Office said the singer was “under review” for taking a photo and posting it on Instagram which carries a potential punishment of a 30-day jail sentence and a $50 fine. Justin posted a selfie of the event to his followers on Instagram, all 37 million of them, and added “On Hey! You! Yeah, YOU! I just flew from LA to Memphis to #rockthevote !!!,” According to TMZ, an official from the election’s board said that JT should not be commended for inspiring people to get out and vote. While he didn’t exactly say who he voted for, it’s pretty fair to assume it was Hillary, as she was over to Justin and girlfriend Jessica Biel´s recently for lunch. The madness that is the USA elections!

Scarlett Johansson married French advertising executive Romain Dauriac in 2014 , and a couple of weeks ago they realised one of the dreams by opening their first popcorn shop in Paris.. The couple manned the counter themselves for ´Yummy Pop’s´ opening and the fans were delighted, with crowds of customers waiting outside that eventually swelled to a couple hundred strong. “It has been a dream of mine and my family for several years to bring our favourite American snack to our favourite European city,” said Scarlett, “I am so excited to introduce Yummy Pop, a labour of love and Epicurean enthusiasm … do bleedin´what! The shop’s popcorn flavours menu includes Vermont Maple, Vermont Cheddar, Sea Salt and Olive Oil, Strawberries and Cream, Chocolate-Covered Strawberries and ScarJo’s personal fav … Truffle, Parmesan and Sage. The Americanisation of Paris has begun.

Calpe’s Remembrance Day

A cut above the rest by Jack Troughton

SINGING GROUP the Costa Barber Singers is giving staging an open rehearsal and offering a unique opportunity to learn the skills of close harmony singing. For the first time in almost 30 years, members of the public can try the basic rudiments of barbershop singing. The group is staging a mini-concert at Bar Jacaranda in Moraira on Thursday 24th November from 8.15pm to 9.15pm and will give audience members the chance to exercise their vocal chords by joining in - with some gentle tuition.

Musical director Roger Gallant said: “We can always make room for new recruits. Maybe our open rehearsal will make us even stronger” From their homes all over Marina Alta, the singers gather in Benissa’s Cadal d’Associaciones, Sala de Juntes, Aula 5, each Thursday evening to practise the art of barbershop singing, as they have done since March 1989. And during that time the group has carried out more than 300 singing engagements, helping to raise thousands of Euros for local charities. It has also staged or taken part in seven full shows with visitors from the USA, the UK, and from Southern Spain – allowing those close harmony songs, old and modern, to thrill audiences at a wide variety of venues.

Act of Remembrance

BENIDORM AND District Branch of the Royal British Legion invites everyone to its Remembrance Sunday Service at Ciudad Patricia on 13th November. The service begins at 10.30am and the Last Post will be sounded at 11am, followed by two minutes silence in what is described as “an Act of Remembrance and not a religious service”. A lunch will be held at 1pm, with a bar and tea and coffee available. This is followed at 3pm by live music and dancing. Entrance is 5€, all proceeds going to the 2016 Poppy Appeal.

EVERYONE IS welcome to join the Calpe Branch of the Royal British Legion for its Service of Remembrance on Sunday (13th November) at Le Merced Church at 10.30am. It will be a Church of England Sunday Service with a Remembrance Day theme and taken by the Costa Blanca Anglican Chaplaincy. The Calpe Branch of the Royal British Legion is staging its Annual General Meeting at the Dracula Restaurant in Calpe port on Friday 18th November at 11am.

Life Coach

WITH A background in family and matrimonial mediation, Life Coach Sara Bell helps Readers with their daily worries. If you are having difficulties with relationships, family, work or any other aspect of your life, then help is at hand.

When do I get a life? I recently became a grandmother, and although I love my grandchildren (twins) - my daughter feels it is perfectly ok to drop the 2 year olds at my place for the whole weekend, so that she and her husband can have ‘time to themselves’. My new partner has started to resent this and has stayed away. Not only that, my elderly parents are so demanding of my time. They are becoming dependent on me, although I have arranged for some social services help, but my father refuses - wanting me to do everything. Unless you take your life back now, this situation will only get worse. Be very firm with your family. Tell your daughter kindly that you love to see the twins, but it is not acceptable that she leave them with you every weekend, as you have your own life. Also your parents have to learn to accept outside help, otherwise they will be a huge burden on you. Your partner has a point - you deserve to have a happy life together.

Write to Sara in confidence. A pseudonym will be used if you wish. Sara reads all letters and can give a personal reply. Email your question to agonyaunt@roundtownnews.com or Sara is available for private consultations, telephone 650 054 467.

Caught in the act

On a recent holiday to Spain with friends, my wife fell ill when we were about to leave for a day trip. She insisted that we all went without her, so we did. About a mile down the road I realised I had forgotten to pick up my phone, so we turned around and headed back. When I got to the Villa I heard voices coming from the bedroom, and caught my wife and our neighbour together. She’s asking for a second change. I don’t know whether I want a divorce or not. I am very hurt. You have had a terrible shock, and re-gaining your wife’s trust will be hard. She deliberately lied that day, and if she hadn’t been caught, the affair would still be continuing behind your back. Couples counselling may help you both discover why she felt the need to have an affair in the first place, if perhaps there were problems in the marriage. Some people are able to forgive infidelities - some are not, and at least by going to marriage counselling, you can say that you tried.

Basic Spanish for everyday needs by Jane Cronin

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Passive voice – what it is! Well, I’m sorry but two weeks of no grammar is as much as you can be allowed, and this week it’s back to the grindstone! Not only that, we’re back on to verbs again, and a completely new concept, and one that is dealt with differently in English than in Spanish. It couldn’t be worse really, so if you would rather turn the page and read about the latest charity event or how to control your weight, I suggest you do so now. So, now we’ve got rid of the faint-hearted, the rest of us can knuckle down. We are going to start looking at the “passive voice”. The passive what? I hear you ask. You may not be aware that as well as verb “tenses”, there are also things called “voices” and “moods” of verbs. We’ll leave the moods until later (but won’t forget about them!) and talk about “voices”. There are two voices in language terms – the “active” voice and the “passive” voice. Most of the things we learn in grammar initially belong to the active voice. An example of a sentence in the active voice is one that is made up of the SUBJECT plus VERB plus OBJECT, for example “The boy (subject) reads (verb) the book (object)” or in Spanish “El niño lee el libro”. My most humble apologies if I have used this example before to illustrate other things. I suffer for the inability to think of more than one very boring example when explaining grammar. The same thing happens to me when I teach the “going to” future. I always say “Tomorrow I’m going to play tennis” despite the fact that I haven’t played tennis since I was a schoolgirl and even then I hated it with a vengeance. So anyway, we have now seen what an active sentence looks

like, and the next thing I am going to do is turn the English active sentence “the boy reads the book” into a passive one, like this: “The book is read by the boy”. You will see that I have taken the object of the sentence (i.e. the word that receives the action of the verb, in this case “book”) and placed it in the position of the subject (i.e. in front of the verb). The two sentences mean exactly the same thing, but if I start off by saying “the book” I then have to change “reads” to “is read” Notice the same spelling but different pronunciation of “read” in English – deeply confusing for non-native English speakers. Perhaps I should go mad and change the example to “buy”. “The boy buys the book”. “The book IS BOUGHT by the boy”. Another important question here is: Why do we do this? Well, in the case of this particular boy and his book, there is no answer to the question, but suppose we change our example to “Mr. O’Reilly built the school in 1962”. It is unlikely that 50 years later anyone would have any interest in poor old Mr. O’Reilly, but they might be interested in the age of the school. Therefore we would say “The school WAS BUILT in 1962”. We could add “by Mr. O’Reilly” if we really wanted to, but usually we wouldn’t. So, hopefully you can now see that we use the “passive voice” when we are more interested in the “object” of the sentence than the “subject” or if there were some reason why we are unable, or do not wish to name the subject. Here’s another example: “I was told to fill in this form”. The

active sentence would be “Mr. X told me to fill in the form” but perhaps we don’t remember who Mr. X was, or we don’t know the person’s name, or even (horror of horrors) we’re telling a porky which we can only sustain by omitting the information about who told us. You see, it might seem boring, but actually the “passive voice” can be very interesting. There is rather a lot more to say on the subject, which will now have to be left (that’s passive too – “I will have to leave it”) till next week.

Kiddie Capers by

Writer & Broadcaster

MY EARLIEST memory of school was circa 1950 & my first day at The Norman Bates Primary. As my mum left me alone, tearfully peering through the railings, she did a little jump & clicked her heels – while trilling a jaunty ditty, I seem to recall it was ‘Don’t Fence Me In’ – she was a right card our mum & no mistake. Truth be told the memories are hazy, so we require your razor sharp cognizance (snort). For instance did we really listen to the wireless during lessons? Was it something called ‘Music & Movement’? School dinners, meat so tough you could heel a shoe, or that bloody if you slapped a plaster on the beast, there’s every chance it could be up again grazing like a good ‘un. Sago pudding - frogspawn anyone? .Milk in dinky little bottles, on the radiator to thaw during the winter months. Uh – oh! Curdled Milk + Small Child = Spurt Alert. The teacher telling us mid-morning “Alright children, it’s time for a nap, heads on desks.” There was nobody more wide awake at 11am than a 5 year old. The nap was for Miss – who was suffering from the ‘Wrath of the Grape’ after spending the evening supping & jitterbugging with a left over GI Joe from WW2 – all for a pair of nylons – hussy. During one class roll call, Miss got to - “ Bonnie Parker.” “Here Miss, but now I want to be known as Bonnie Allsopp, because mum has got a new boyfriend and his name is Reg Allsopp – so now I’m Bonnie Allsopp.” Both the young twins Ronnie & Reggie in unison piped up, “We had him – he was rubbish.” Okay! I put my hands up - I nicked & tweaked that tale from Gervase Phinn, a fine author & educator – if you are going to plagiarise - do it from the best. Mind you he did borrow this one from me. We went to see our then 7 year old son in his school nativity – as we walked up to the assembly hall the audience and cast were walking out. I collared one of the 3 wise men (the one with myrrh – fragrant tree sap – dead handy for a mewling newborn) & asked “What’s occurring?” The wise one replied “Nativity’s off, the Virgin Mary’s got nits.” Before you start on about my advanced years – NO! Florence Nightingale was not our nit nurse. Any infantile info from you is always welcome; ashleybobble@hotmail.com

Pork & apple stew with parsley & thyme dumplings This healthy family supper has dumplings that soak up all the flavours of cider, mustard and a hint of apple, and it’s 3 of your 5-a-day Ingredients For the stew 1 tbsp rapeseed oil 2 onions, halved and sliced 3 celery sticks, thickly sliced 2 bay leaves 1 tbsp picked thyme leaves 500g lean pork fillet, cut into large chunks 2 tsp English mustard powder 4 large garlic cloves, grated 2 tbsp spelt flour 4 tbsp cider vinegar 800ml bouillon or chicken stock 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and cut into chunks 2 leeks, thickly sliced 4 carrots, cut into chunks For the dumplings 140g spelt flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp English mustard powder 2 tbsp finely chopped flat-

leaf parsley 1 tbsp picked thyme leaves, plus a few sprigs to garnish 2 tbsp bio yogurt 2 tbsp rapeseed oil Method Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a flameproof and ovenproof dish. Add the onions, celery, bay and thyme, and fry for about 8 mins until softened. Add the pork and cook for a few mins until it changes colour, but it doesn’t need to brown as you don’t want to overcook it. Stir in the mustard powder, garlic, flour and vinegar, then pour in the bouillon, stirring to prevent any lumps forming. Add the apple, leeks and carrots, bring the liquid to the boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Cover the pan and simmer for 1 hr, stirring occasionally, until the pork and vegetables are tender. When the stew is nearly cooked, heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. To make the dumplings, tip the flour, baking powder, mustard powder, parsley and thyme into a bowl and stir to combine. Put the yogurt in a jug, make up to 100ml with water, then stir in the oil. Lightly stir the liquid into the flour to make a soft, slightly sticky dough. Divide the dough equally into eight and shape into balls. Drop them on top of the stew, drizzling each one with the remaining oil. Bake for 20 mins until the dumplings are golden. Scatter with the extra thyme, if you like, before serving.

Eyes on Diabetes November 14th is World Diabetes Day and the theme is Eyes on Diabetes. This important awareness day is focusing on promoting the importance of screening to ensure early diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and treatment to reduce the risk of serious complications. Specsavers Opticas have been working alongside their local diabetic associations for years to offer free diabetes screenings and advice on keeping eyes healthy. They have also invested in the latest technology to ensure their eye tests are also health tests, which can spot the signs of diabetic retinopathy developing. “Many people don’t realise that diabetes can affect your sight” explains Saher Shrief from Specsavers Opticas in Torrevieja, “but in fact, of the 415 million adults worldwide living with diabetes in 2015, over one third will develop some form of diabetic retinopathy – a complication of diabetes that can lead to vision impairment and blindness. Careful management of diabetes and screening for diabetic eye disease can help prevent visual impairment and blindness. This is why we want to encourage everyone to get themselves screened for diabetes on World Diabetes Day and to get a comprehensive eye test, which includes health checks and technology such as digital retinal photography.” Nearly all Specsavers Opticas stores on the Costa Blanca have digital retinal cameras, allowing the opticians to take a detailed picture of the back of the eye. This helps identify changes that might be associated with certain eye conditions, such as diabetic retinopathy. If necessary, the optician can refer patients directly for further medical examination to a hospital or general practitioner. They believe this technology is so important, that it is included as part of the eye test at no extra charge.

In our U.K.T.V.SPAIN Junior League the leaders Ant & Brad had a poor week only scoring 14 points which enabled Marcus’s Salford Sausages to gain ground and cut their lead to 25 points.At the opposite end of the table Robbie’s Magpies have reduced the gap on Charlotte’s Arm Wavers United to only 2 points. After 6 weeks reign at the top of our Leonard Knowles Construction Golden Boot League Eric’s team Peaky Blinders have finally give way to the relentless Juke Box Mackems who have taken a 4 point lead over Kevin’s One for the Road while Peaky Blinders have dropped down to 3rd place.No change at the other end of the table where Kevin’s El.Portet Elite are settling in after spending the last 5 weeks over the trap door. Our Manager of the Week is Callum whose Team El.Portet Sports bagged a creditable 49 points courtesy of Chelsea’s in form Edin Hazard,Burnley’s Sam Vokes and Liverpool’s Mane who between them scored 35 points of

his tally.They have now qualified for our Wyn’s Wyndhams Monthly Wine Draw along with our lowest scoring team which is no surprise Kevin’s El,Portet Elite who only managed to score 3 points.(Wow 2 teams from the same Port). Manager of the Month for November is being kindly sponsored by SARITA’s top authentic Indian Cuisine Restaurant in Albir and with only one week gone Callum’s El.Portet Sports have got off to a good start by taking an early 2 point advantage over Blaine’s team Kroos Control.Tad’s team Taddydorm & Rachel’s My Lovely Boys are also well in contention for

this super meal for 2 in 3rd & 4th place. Big Tony has won this weeks Breakfast for 2 sponsored by the 2 C’s in Alfaz after leaping up 50 places to number 116th place in the main League. At the time of going to Press I have not had time to collate all the scores for the 1st Round of our RTN K.O.Cup Competition but I’m sure by the time you read this the results should be up on our super website which is www.alfazffl.com.I will be doing a full report of all the ties in next weeks Report as we have an International Break .

Ex-Monte ace Dani stars at new club ALGORFA CF new signing Dani ORourke has hit the ground running - with six goals in five appearances - following his departure from CD Montesinos, becoming one of the league’s top scorers by Andrew Atkinson Dani (pictured after scoring) left in the unrest following the appointment of coach Camacho at Montesinos - sacked two games into the season at the Segunda Regional Grupo 16 club. “We are doing well in the Regional 1st and I am very happy with the move to Algorfa CF,” Dani said. “Personally things are going well for me - I am one of the top scorers in the league - with six goals in five games.” Camacho was appointed as a replacement for Roberto Cases, who joined UD Horadada at the end of last season. After two heavy defeats, in the opening two games of the 2016-17 season, Camacho was sacked and replaced by current Montesinos coach Carlos Perez. Fans’ favourite Manu has returned to CD Montesinos, after leaving UD Horadada by mutual consent, and terrace talk is of whether Dani will also return to the Alicante-based club However, Dani said: “When coach Camacho arrived at the club I decided to leave and joined Algorfa CF. Right now I am happy here and fully concentrating on the season - in doing the best I possibly can at Algorfa.”

Pego Golf Society play, so really it was a very difficult day to play this wonderful game. We had 47 players today, including five guests, and they were Derek Lindley, Richard Morris, Iain Chapman, Alistair Taylor and Barry Tilby, all of whom were warmly welcomed by our Captain David O’Connor.

The Society played a Texas Scramble today over the course at Oliva Nova. Rain was in the forecast, but never materialised, so we had a very cold start to the day, with the first group playing off, and the thermostat was 10 degrees. Just a little bit cold for shorts and t-shirts!!!

The groups starting at Hole No 10, had the bitterly cold wind and a bright low sun in their eyes, so watching the ball was almost impossible. I thought Oliva Nova was in better condition than I had ever seen for a while with the fairways and the greens coming back to their best in about two or three weeks. The wind increased over the morning

Now to the competition proper.Division 1 Texas Scramble Winners Score:- 61.4 :- John Evans, John Guest, Mario Van Kessel and David O’Connor 2nd Place Score:- 63.2 :- David Blakeley, Bill Pike, Alistair Taylor and Danny Herron 3rd Place Score:- 63.3 :- Russ peters, Clive Wright, Rob Westlands and Brian Baybut Nearest the hole at Hole No 3 was Barry Levett with 4.24 meters, and at Hole No 16 closest to the hole was Iain Chapman with 4.9 meters. We had only one two today and that was by Barry Levett, presumably at hole number three.

The number of “Balls in the Water” was 109, and that was won by Mike Cuerden so many congrats Mike. In the Final of the “Match Play Plate” Competition, there was an very exciting match between Malcolm Cannon and Stella Fox, with Malcolm sneeking a half match at the very last hole, so they have it all to do again next week. There were two birthdays today , so both members presented a bottle of spirits to be won by a card draw, and the birthdays were Alan Simpson and Mike Cuerden, and the prizes were won by Stella Fox and Nigel Siddall If any member or guest would like to play with the Pego Golf Society, and who wouldn’t, as we are playing a “Stableford CLG ” Competition” please contact our secretary and send an e-mail to Penny Barden at pegohandicapsec@gmail.com or enter through our website www.pegogolfsociety. com. A warm welcome awaits you.

Emergency Blue Lights As Spain finally settles down with a new government, many of the laws left outstanding from the previous administrative term are now being reintroduced to parliament, including changes to traffic laws. One such proposal is having blue lights on all priority vehicles, including those driven by the fire service and medics. Currently, these vehicles display orange flashing lights when attending an emergency and it is only the security services, the police and Guardia Civil, who use blue lights. The proposal was first made some years ago, with the intention of ensuring consistency across all European nations. Now, the Ciudadanos parliamentary group have formally put the notion forward once again. Of course as in any change in the law the process now begins whereas the matter will be debated before entering into Spanish legislation, but with a keenness to fall

in line with Europe, many people think it just a matter of time before ambulances and fire tenders use blue lights. Europe is currently trying to ensure consistency in the appearance of emergency vehicles, with blue, red and green being the corresponding colours of the police, fire and ambulance service respectively, with the aim of ensuring that a police car looks the same irrespective of the country it is patrolling, for example. However, given the fact that the emergency services are fragmented across the country, standardising the entire image of the emergency service fleet might be nothing more than a hope at this stage, for now we need to look out for and respond to the lights of emergency service vehicles, keeping in mind that even a tow truck

responding to an emergency situation is classed as a priority vehicle, and as such

other vehicles must give way to allow them to pass.
