Welcome to our sizzling summer issue! We have plenty for you to read and, I hope, enjoy in this our first double month summer issue. For starters, an insider’s view of the World Cup, written by ex-footballer Paul Hall. With over 70 international caps, Paul is currently the under-18 manager for QPR and he has played for Portsmouth, Torquay, West Brom, Coventry, Walsall and Sheffield United. This man knows his stuff! Ted Macauley drops a few impressive names, as he talks us through the delicious Porsche Cayman. Henry Turner visits the Great Cockcrow Railway sounds like he had a great day out, and if you like trains, you’ll love this. We are delighted to welcome Cobham Books this month, which has kindly agreed to supply us with some regular book reviews, so do take a look at page 40 for some hot tips on super summer reads. And finally, there are lots of great events coming up locally and we have information on a fair few within.

FOOTBALL
CRAZY ‘Grab every moment as if it were your last!’ ‘The World Cup will come and go in an instant, don’t let it pass you by, son!’ These words were spoken to me by someone who knew this as a truth and as a fact, a successful recipient of a World Cup winner’s medal, ‘You’re a lucky lad, you are.’ Alan Ball (R.I.P.). 16 years ago, the great man himself articulated his words of wisdom to me as I left Portsmouth, bound for the World Cup of 1998 in France to face Croatia, Argentina and Japan for the Reggae Boyz. I’ve been managed by Terry Venables, Jim Smith, Brian Little, Gordon Strachan, all of whom have imparted various nuggets of their great knowledge to me over the years. However, the advice offered by the diminutive, red haired Ball was without doubt the truest and most resonating. If I could offer any advice to any of the players who are off to their first World Cup in Brazil this year, I would simply repeat those words said to me. It came and went in a flash. As quickly as the first game arrived against Croatia, the second match against Argentina seemed like it was the next day, then came Japan in an instant. Soon the month was all over, and we were on the plane out of France for what seemed like a very quick adventure. It had passed me by. Playing in a World Cup is an unforgettable experience. Brushing shoulders with the
world’s elite and realising the opportunity to pit your skills and wits against the very cream of what football has to offer is truly an experience not many professionals will ever be able to boast about. I distinctly recall the time when our group was drawn, and reacting to the news that we would be facing 2 of the tournament’s favourites in our first 2 games. We were presented with an uphill task right from the word go. Croatia and Argentina didn’t disappoint. So who’s looking forward to the World Cup? I know I am! The spiritual home of football, as it’s known, is hosting the world’s greatest game. As the wheels of World Cup fever are oiled and are turning, I can’t help but join in with the excitement. England has a youthful look about the team and will travel to the South American continent with the hopes and wishes of a nation that continues to tot up the number of years since the last time the World Cup ‘came home’, 48 at last count. Although the expectation is not as elevated as previous years, I would like to believe that England could be a dark horse this year, and maybe surprise a few! After all, there is no point travelling all that way and not believing that you can do well. There is a whole host of teams who are expecting to be triumphant. Surely, any of the teams who finish in front of hosts Brazil, European and world champions Spain, and neighbours Argentina would like to consider themselves
ultimate champions. From my own personal experiences, the psychological pressures will be enormous. The demands will come from all sides; your teammates, the manager, the country’s supporters, the media, and your family, to name but a few! All of these pressures carry their own super-powers that can put you off your game, or give you strength and confidence at any time. If you can get over these psychological hurdles, then you’re ready to play football! The psychological impact of selection/non-selection is probably the most damaging or uplifting, depending on which side of the fence you are on. Playing in a World Cup is a dream that 99.9% of players will have as a youngster. How do you notify someone that they haven’t made the squad? How do you inform the player who has played well all season of the unfortunate news that he won’t be selected to play in the most important game of his life? Roy Hodgson and the other 31 managers will have put many players through this heartbreak. This will never stop for a manager, who will be experiencing his own pressures too. So you manage to get through the selection process, your family are all rooting for you, the media are beginning to whip up a frenzy in anticipation of the first game, your manager has shown you the belief you wanted him to. Then you have to line up against players who know you inside out, or who are simply better. These players know your every move. Veron, Batistuta, Prosinecki, Ortega, Simeone to name a few. Pressures again, but of a different kind! You still have to perform. You could say the pressures of our group were stacked in favour of Argentina and Croatia, and that Jamaica and Japan weren’t expected to progress any further and were there simply to make up the numbers. However, we had our own pressures, as it was our first World Cup and we wanted to give a good account of ourselves. I hold great memories of my adventure in the 1998 World Cup and will
be watching this competition in Brazil with great interest. Some of the world’s greatest players will go head to head to prove who will be returning to domestic football with the bragging rights. It will be interesting to see who will grab the chance to shine and not let this amazing opportunity for all to pass them by.

CAR REVIEW
C AY M A N honoured Newman’s dream on behalf of the German automotive geniuses. The newcomer then, now in a third-generation settled phase, is a triumph of engineering, excitement and economy, rolled into one desirably superb package. It is called the Cayman. And for my money, quid for quid, it is the best sportscar of them all. Forget the Ferraris, Maseratis and Aston Martin wallet-busters: the much, much cheaper Cayman is priceless in its worth as an object of desire, and just as quick and racy as any of them. I hope I’m not sounding over the top, but my view, I know, is shared by fellow motoring journalists worldwide. Why? It rides beautfully and safely at flat-out speed, is quiet,r oomy, comfy, smart inside and has a kerbside profile befitting a superstar. Push it. Coast it. It takes all in its faultless stride. I prefer the 2.7 to the more muscular 3.4 S version because I fail to see the point of paying thousands of quid more for an extra spec or two, another split-second off the 0-60mph time or a sports exhaust system. Trophy Wife, a competent and quick driver, is fussy over fashion statements on wheels and an avowed fan of style on the move. She and I enjoyed the car so much on a try-out that we bought one. Perhaps, and hopefully, one day she’ll let me drive it.
Specification: Porsche Cayman S. Engine : 3.4. Top speed: 176mph.0-60 mph 5.0secs. Fuel: petrol. Mpg 32.1. Price 3.4S: £48.783. 2.7 : £39.694.

Travelling down Memory Lane, the road to nostalgia,can be a trip to savour, especially for shameless name-droppers like me. Here we go. The scene was a ritzy restaurant in Arizona. Paul Newman...yep...THE Hollywood movie heartthrob...was at my table, sitting on my left, and beside him was Nigel Mansell...yep... THE Formula One world champion. I was covering for a national newspaper Mansell’s debut in Indycar racing in the USA. Newman had rented a private jet in Miami,where he was filming, to watch our mutual pal warming up for his first race in Phoenix. I had no clue that, when Mansell told me we would be joined for lunch by a fan of his, it would be Newman. Imagine my shock when I walked to the table and he was sitting there.We spent the whole week dining together. And the talk was all about cars.Newman’s favourite subject. Porsche in particular. His dream machine. He had raced them spectacularly in the terrifying Le Mans 24 clash and had been a winner and a four times US champion. “One day, I would bet any money, Porsche will produce a road car that will be every sports car fan’s desire to own,” he forecast. ”The ultimate pleasure.The perfect mix of performance and panache. And affordable. Take my word.” He must be spinning gleefully in his grave right now because two decades or so on, Porsche

What’s Cooking? Yakitori Kebabs with Chicken & Vegetables Serves 4. Nut-free. Prepare: 10 mins + 1-2hrs marinating. Cooking: 15 mins
4 tbsp Waitrose Japanese Soya Sauce 2 tbsp Yutaka Japanese Mirin 1 tbsp Waitrose Pure Clear Honey 2.5cm piece root ginger, peeled & finely grated • 1 clove garlic, crushed • 400g pack Waitrose British Chicken Breast Chunks • 4 salad onions, each cut into 3 pieces • 1 Romano pepper, deseeded & cut into 2.5cm pieces • • • •
Method
In a large bowl, mix together the soya sauce, mirin, honey, ginger and garlic. Add the chicken and stir well. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for 1-2 hours or overnight.
Recipe reproduced by kind permission of Waitrose.
Preheat the grill to high. Thread the chicken, salad onions and pepper pieces alternately, dividing them between 4 metal skewers, reserving the marinade. Place the kebabs on the grill rack and brush liberally with the marinade. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the marinade. The chicken should be cooked until the juices run clear and there is no pink meat; the vegetables should be lightly charred. Serve immediately, with Waitrose Medium Egg Noodles, garnished with salad onions. Cook’s tips: If you are short of time, marinate the chicken for just 20 minutes - it will still absorb a lot of the flavours. Try using a different selection of vegetables, such as yellow peppers and courgettes.

GREAT COC
Steam locomotives and railways may not be the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Chertsey, but with the arrival of summer, one of Surrey’s more novel family attractions has opened its doors. The Great Cockcrow Railway, a scale-model railway built on land owned by Ian Allan OBE, sits near the village of Lyn and offers rides to visitors. Built to ⅛ scale, the site consists of well over two miles of track, two train lines and is operated by a team of volunteers. The locomotives themselves are owned by individual contributors to the railway. Many were and continue to be painstakingly built and maintained, with the oldest dating from 1913. Visiting earlier last month on a rather warm and sunny day, I thought I’d see what the line had to offer. I bought a ticket for the red line from the ticket office and proceeded to wait for a train with various other visitors. Waiting with me were various young families, among whom the young boys seemed
enthralled by the trains as they entered and departed the station, each locomotive running off steam just like their larger counterparts. The station itself, the most active out of the several on the railway, consciously harkens back to the days of steam, prior to the nationalisation of the railways, and sports the livery of Southern Trains. The station consists of two platforms, a signal box for the fully functioning signals system across the railway, a working turntable for reversing the locomotives and a maintenance workshop. When the time eventually came to board, we were shown to one of the small box cars. Sitting upon planks on either end, adults have a tight squeeze to fit both their feet in, which for we tall types led to a rather awkward bowlegged pose. The strength of the locomotive when it finally got under way was quite a surprise, and it gathered a steady pace as it pulled its six laden passenger cars into the light woodland ahead.
KCROW RAILWAYS
as they steam about the site. The drivers must pay attention to their instruments exactly as their counterparts in history would have. Most of the engines themselves were built from kits by members, at a cost of great time and expense, but maintaining them is clearly a community effort. Though those getting their hands dirty were evidently exercising a niche enthusiasm as far as hobbies go, it seemed clear that the magic of railways themselves has a broad appeal. The kids that rode seemed to love the experience, in spite of the long wait, and the excursion constitutes a good excuse to enjoy the sun. Perhaps then, Cockcrow is a great destination for families looking for a good broad base of appeal. And, for the voyeurs among us, there’s always the opportunity to watch your family have fun whilst nursing a cup of tea on the sidelines.

WORDS BY HENRY TURNER
Bridges, tunnels and some odd stuffed animals decorate the route, which twists and turns past signal boxes, other stations and even past the M25. After my ride, I was able to speak with Chris Bishop, a senior volunteer at the club, who showed me some of the maintenance work being done on the locomotives. Chris is one of the few volunteers who was present when the railway was moved from a private garden, the owner of which had died, to its present location in 1962. The railway is now run as a commercial operation. Among the old hands, the number of young volunteers who were working on the machines was quite encouraging. It seemed reassuring to see new blood showing an interest in history and technical skills. I was also shown around the storage shed where many of the locomotives are kept under tarpaulins. The engines, it was explained to me, work in exactly the same manner as their full-scale counterparts.They burn coal and require water top-ups from scale water towers

GARDENING MATTERS The world is your oyster with the species names of plants (always lower case). People, animals, habitat, you name it, they are named after it. Let’s start with compass points and places…. Plants grow where it suits them, they’re clever like that. Some grow in several continents and their names often show where in the world they are from. Borealis describes plants from the north and are bound to be hardy: eg Phlox borealis is from Alaska and can survive temperatures of -45C. Betula borealis (Northern birch) grows across North America and can survive similar temperatures. At the other extreme, we have australis, meaning ‘south’ and not just ‘from Australia’: eg Cordyline australis is from New Zealand. However, not all plants with this name come from as far south as that: Baptisia australis from the eastern US has this name because it grows at the southern extremity of the range of that particular genus. Confusing, eh? Orientalis, meaning ‘eastern’, is one of the most common names, and it tends to mean simply ‘east of Europe’ – in other words, the Orient, a rather old-fashioned word now. It conjures up mystery and riches, and many plants with this name, such as Papaver orientalis, the Oriental poppy, are well worth growing. In addition, there is occidentalis, meaning ‘western’, as in Thuja occidentalis, the white cedar, and centralis, meaning
‘central’, unsurprisingly. Many plants are restricted to a continent, but are not necessarily widespread: they merely come from that continent, as opposed to another. On the whole, the names are obvious: europeus, asiaticus and americanus shouldn’t be surprising. Africa isn’t quite so easy to identify: along with africanus, there’s also afer (usually Northern Africa) or aethiopicus, as in the wonderful arum lily, Zantedeschia aethiopica (with an ’a’ at the end because it is a feminine noun in Latin). The other continents, India – indicus – and Australia – australiensis – aren’t difficult to identify, but beware of australis (see above). Naming plants isn’t particularly easy, but giving them the name of origin is a slightly simpler solution, although plants don’t respect boundaries, and so they may be found in a neighbouring state, even if they’re named after a specific country. In most cases, it’s easy to guess the country: italicus, germanicus , arabicus, hungaricus are all obvious. Some have been Latinised but are still understandable, eg novae-zelandiae for New Zealand. Some are a touch more obscure but can be worked out: amicorum is a direct translation of the Friendly Isles (Tonga). Others are trickier: sinensis is ‘from China’, but anyone who has sat through a history lesson at school on the SinoJapanese Wars will recognise this. And I expect you’ll all recognise japonica, meaning ‘from Japan’, as in Fatsia japonica, although many give this name to a thorny shrub with beautiful flowers and hard, apple-like fruit, whose full name is Chaenomeles japonica. Nearly up to the word count now, but next time, regions and also towns and villages. So many possibilities with the species names, so little space……

Uth contains glycans which activate a chain reaction of signals between cells and stimulate ™
Mannatech is the provider in the skincare market of plant-sourced glycans. We hold 60 patents worldwide for the technology that sources those glycans naturally. • Plant-sourced glycans are combined with a proprietary blend of plant-based ingredients, including wild pansy which stimulates the capacity for the skin to retain water. • The glycans and plant-based ingredients in are delivered in a different way to other skin Uth creams. This unique composition is then spun into a revolutionary new transdermal delivery system developed in France, called Microspheres. These can penetrate the deepest layers of the skin and ™
ingredients over 48 hours. The impact can be immediate and profound, restoring your skin to its smooth, youthful appearance (results may vary across individuals). •
Uth was recently tested in an eight week ™

Astonish Me by Maggie Shipstead (hardback £14.99) The world of ballet revealed in Maggie Shipstead’s novel is fascinating. Joan, an ambitious member of the corps de ballet, helps the Russian star Arslan Rusakov to defect in 1975. Their subsequent love affair dies out, and with it Joan’s dreams of success. She marries her childhood friend and moves to a different life in California. Eventually, she opens a ballet school there. The discovery that her son is a very talented dancer brings her former lover back into her life with dramatic consequences. Maggie Shipstead’s debut novel ‘Seating Arrangements’ won the Dylan Thomas Prize and has been a bestseller at The Cobham Bookshop. The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt (paperback £8.99) The Goldfinch is the story of 13 year old Theo Decker who survives a terrorist attack on a museum in New York which kills his mother. He escapes with ‘The Goldfinch’, a tiny Dutch masterpiece by Carel Fabritius, and his survival and story begins here, taking him from New York to Nevada and back, and on to Amsterdam through a murky criminal underworld. The Goldfinch is a fantastic read and has won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Secrecy by Rupert Thomson (paperback £7.99) In this novel, Rupert Thomson has created a singularly extraordinary world - 17th century Florence, as rich in detail and atmosphere as it is in intrigue and emotion. Zummo, the creator of exquisite but gruesome plague scenes sculpted in wax, is unquestionably an artist for his times. A ravishing spellbinding novel.

ENSURE YOU ARE
SAFE & SECURE...
There has been much publicity concerning a major security issue affecting your computers, data and your online presence. The government has taken the unusual step of a public notice campaign and a dedicated website, detailing the online risks. The website is www.staysafeonline.org. So, what is the need for this new level of awareness? There have been a couple of particularly sophisticated hacking attacks; one is called Gameover Zues, the other is Cryptolocker
WHAT ARE GAMEOVER ZEUS AND CRYPTOLOCKER? Gameover Zeus is used by cybercriminals to intercept transactions during online banking sessions. Cryptolocker is a form of ransomware, which works by encrypting files on your hard-drive, then demanding payment for the key to decrypt. To date, there are very few reliable methods of decrypting your data once Cryptolocker has attacked, apart from restoring from a previous backup. So be warned.
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF Having an operational, updated quality internet security product, such as Bullguard, will dramatically reduce the risk of infection, as they are already protecting against versions of Gameover Zeus and Cryptolocker. However, here are some tips: • If you receive an e-mail with an attachment, do not open it unless it’s expected • Do not click on website links to download files unless you have requested them • Make sure your security software is updated to the latest version to protect against Gameover Zeus • Run regular full viral and malware scans of your computers • Ensure you have all data backed up Use strong passwords: to check out the strength of your password, go to https://howsecureismypassword.net Some of the results here are quite revealing.
Subscribe to our Total Care Support agreement, and we will protect your machine and your data. If you become infected, we will resolve the problem, free of further costs. Further information can be found on the opposite page… This guide was written by Les Beer from TecRes, which has been providing computer solutions since 1989. How can we help you?

Advice and things you need to know
from accountants SMITH PEARMAN
Avoiding 60% tax by high earners and other income tax anomalies ... Most people are aware of the income tax rates of 20% basic rate, 40% over £31,865 and 45% over £150,000, but many are not aware of the effectively 60% rate between £100,000 and £120,000.
This happens because the personal allowance is taken away when your income is over £100,000. The effective tax rates on each £1,000 of income look like this:
about it. However, for anyone in between it is really worthwhile seeing if there any way you avoid this 60% rate. So what could you do to plan your income so it is just below the £100,000 in most years? It all depends on your circumstances, but it could include:
• • •
The effect of this sudden increase in the effective tax rate is so great that for someone with an income of £200,000 the tax on the slice from £100,001 to £150,000 is actually higher than the tax on the slice from £150,000 to £200,000 – a truly strange result! Of course, if your income is below £100,000, this is of no personal concern to you. Similarly, if your income is well above £120,000 there is little you can do
Pay pension contributions to reduce the taxable income Make gift aid donations to charity (a £100 gift only costs £40 if you are in the 60%) Arrange for income to arise in different tax years.
A smaller, but similar, strange jump in rates can also affect those over 65. The extra personal allowances for age are also reduced when income exceeds £27,000. This gives an effective tax rate of 30% for income from £27,000 to £28,000 (or £28,320 for those over 75). Similar planning can help those caught in this tax band (though not pension contributions for those over 75).

MEDICAL MATTERS!!
DIABETES & DIET P A R T
T W O
As discussed in the previous issue, diet is the cornerstone for management of Type 2 diabetes (T2DM), but it is often said that it is not rocket science and really should be seen as a balanced healthy diet which we should all be following. It should be as straightforward as that. However, there are the potential red herrings or pitfalls along the way. Processed foods can prove a challenge, from ready meals to cereals to take-aways. Labelling can sometimes be a little misleading or confusing, such as ‘low fat’ and ‘no added sugar’. Ready meals and take-aways can have a lot of hidden sugar (and salt which is not great for blood pressure), so it may be best to avoid, or at least minimise, the amount of these foods that are consumed. Processed foods which are ‘low sugar’ can be high in fat (this is what makes it taste nice!) which is also not helpful for diabetes. If in doubt, avoid! Fruit can also prove difficult to get right sometimes. Fruit is good for us! However, it contains a natural sugar, and if eaten in large portions, it can send blood sugar levels too high. The golden rules with fruit are : *Avoid multiple portions of fruit at one sitting much better to be spread over the day. Avoid very sweet fruits altogether *’The sweeter the fruit, the smaller the portion’, so with grapes or strawberries, for example, which are usually quite sweet, a small portion that fits in the palm of your hand is about right.

The event showed a community in action. It was about making Cobham, healthier, happier and more resilient sharing and coming together. It showed how much we have in common with each other. Transition Cobham is about bringing people together and creating stronger networks, so we are more resilient in the face of challenges such as climate change and rising energy prices. We are collaborating with St. Andrew’s Church on Spiritual Cinema again and this time we will be showing a documentary on climate change narrated and produced by Leonardo DiCaprio on Tuesday the 10th of June at 7pm. After our clothes swap last year and entertainment swap this year, we’re looking for inspiration for a theme for next year’s swap. If you have a suggestion, please email hello@transitioncobham.org.uk, Facebook or tweet us. search for Transition Cobham
