GOLD COIN WORTH £250,000 DISCOVERED IN CHILD'S PIRATE TREASURE COLLECTION

The coin among the collection Credit: SWNS An 18th-century gold coin worth up to £250,000 has been discovered in a child’s pirate treasure collection. The rare Queen Anne Vigo five guinea piece was given to the anonymous owner by his grandfather when he was a child. The coin was kept in a toy box for pirate games and the owner had no idea of its value. It was packed away and forgotten about until his grandad died when he rediscovered the coin and gave it to his own son to play with. Experts then told him it was one of 20 made of gold seized from Spanish treasure ships in Vigo Bay, Spain, in 1702. ut of treasure captured by the British fleet, were struck in 1703 as part of a propaganda campaign to detract attention from the British failure at Cadiz the previous year. The treasure was delivered through London and received at the Royal Mint by then Master of the Mint, Sir Isaac Newton. My grandad travelled all over the world during his working life and collected many coins from the various countries he had been to. He gave me bags of coins to play with throughout my early

As time passed, these coins went back into bags and boxes and were forgotten about, until I rediscovered them after my grandad passed away. I looked back through the coins, remembering the stories I made up about them when I was small, and then gave them to my own son to play with and put into his own treasure box. My little boy has been playing with this coin as I did all those years ago. – The owner The man, of Bishop’s Stortford, Essex, eventually took it to be valued. Gregory Tong of Boningtons auctioneers, in Chelmsford, instantly recognised its value as one of fewer than 15 known examples. It is expected to fetch up to £250,000 at auction next month and is only the sixth example of its type to be offered for sale in the last 50 years itv.com

DALÍ'S 'LOBSTER TELEPHONE' AND 'LIPS SOFA' TO GO UNDER HAMMER AT CHRISTIE'S IN DECEMBER SPANISH surrealist artist Salvador Dalí's famous lobster telephone is up for auction with a starting bid price of €280,000, along with a number of other items including the artist's 'Mae West lips sofa' modelled on the American actress. The Edward James Foundation, which continues the legacy of the British poet of the same name, is one of the trustees of Dalí's assets and works of art, which Edward James owned. One of these is the marble sculpture titled the White Aphrodisiac Telephone, better known as the 'lobster telephone', which has gone under the hammer at Christie's in London for a quarter of a million pounds (currently around €280,000). It is one of five pieces that will be bid on during the auction on

December 15 from Edward James' 'Temple of Surrealism', which included the original 'lobster phone' and a replica. At least 200 items from the Foundation are up for grabs at prices totalling around 2.5 million pounds (€2.8m). thinkspain

OXFAM'S 'TAX HAVEN-FREE' LIST INCLUDES 25 CITIES IN SPAIN

TWENTY-FIVE cities in Spain have pledged to be 'tax haven-free' in line with an Intermón Oxfam campaign. This means they will scrupulously monitor the source and destination of all money handled by the council and exchanged through companies working as suppliers for them or who are awarded one-off or ongoing public works contracts.

ENGLISH, SPANISH, BELGIUM, FRENCH, DUTCH & GERMAN TV systems installed & Maintained, including Sky TV, BT Sport, Canal Digital. Communal systems, TV Aerials & Mobile phone signal boosters installed. A Professional, SKY trained engineer with 20 years’ experience. Established in Spain for the last 12 years. The best knowledge of TV systems around.

They will only work with firms which can show they do not 'hide' their funds in tax havens – such as banks in Bermuda, Uruguay, Belice, Switzerland and other countries famously used to launder cash – in order to avoid paying their duties in Spain. Suppliers and contractors, among other non-employees, working for town, city and provincial councils and regional governments account for 25% of Spain's GDP, meaning the tax paid on these transactions runs into billions. Estimates show that if all money-launderers and tax-avoiders in Spain accounted for every euro they earnt and paid the required duties on it in the country, the national debt could be wiped out within months. The full list has not been published on Intermón Oxfam's site, although Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Valenica, Alicante, Zaragoza and Murcia are among them. In terms of regions, Navarra, Aragón, Catalunya and Castilla-La Mancha have signed agreements to this effect at government level. Oxfam's report, ¿Beneficios para quién? ('Benefits for whom?'), which analyses fiscal activities of the IBEX 35 – Spain's 35 largest companies in terms of share capital – shows that in the year 2014 alone, a total of 891 branches of these corporations were set up in tax havens. thinkspain

F.A.C.E. NEEDS YOU!

If you have a few hours to spend each month assisting a dedicated group of people to raise money for worthwhile charities such as Little Owls, the A.E.C.C. (Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer), M.A.C.S. (Mojacar Area Cancer Support), F.A.C.E. (Fundraising in Arboleas, Caring for Everyone), may be just the place for you. In 2003 the mother of the F.A.C.E. President Adele Wrigglesworth registered her to take part in the “MacMillan Biggest Ever Coffee Morning in the World” Event . Adele had never done charity work before, but with the aid of friends and neighbours, she accepted her mother’s challenge and set about organising her first ever charity event, which was held in her garden in Los Garcias in Arboleas. Over the following couple of years the event grew from being a garden event to taking over the whole street. However it was felt that money raised in Spain, should remain in Spain, and so from these humble beginnings, and with much help from the Arboleas Ayuntamiento, the present day F.A.C.E. Charity was born! Over the intervening years, F.A.C.E. has grown and evolved into a fully registered charity and has donated thousands of Euro’s to other needy causes in addition to those previously mentioned. F.A.C.E. normally holds two major fund raising events during the year, one during the Summer and the other during the weeks previous to Christmas. These two events are supplemented

by donations from generous groups or persons and by a host of smaller events such as the occasional Quiz Night, Clothes and Book Sales and other fund raising events. There has always been a strong committee led by F.A.C.E. President Adele Wrigglesworth, however over the years this committee has become smaller due to the retirement of various members because they have returned to the United Kingdom or have found that other commitments have had to replace their F.A.C.E. duties. Therefore it is now time for F.A.C.E. to recruit two or three new members.

SPAIN’S oldest woman and the second-oldest in Europe turns 115 today (Saturday), but ‘does not look it’, according to staff at the Barcelona nursing home where she lives. Ana Vela Rubio is not up to having a party, but will probably see her only surviving daughter, who is 89 and lives nearby, albeit her own health is somewhat precarious. Normally, Ana’s daughter would give a statement to the press every year on her mum’s birthday, but this year she does not feel up to it. Ana herself has never, not since she was born on October 29, 1901, been ill – not even the common cold, says David González, director of the La Verneda home for the elderly in Barcelona, which has around 80 permanent residents, 30 who attend daily and another 1,200 who have warden-assisted apartments on the complex. A seamstress who left school at around the age of 11, Ana Vela was born in Puente Genil (Córdoba province) and moved to Catalunya in the 1940s. Here, she started working as a seamstress in a tuberculosis hospital in Terrassa (Barcelona province). Aged 104, she started going to the La Vereda home on a day-centre basis, but still lived in her own home. She was 109 when she moved into the nursing home, which said it would celebrate today with a ‘close-knit’ and ‘private’ ceremony among staff, but says Ana Vela can no longer walk and has lost her cognitive faculties. Despite this, she is not bed-ridden, but the carers get her up every day at 10.00 and put her in her wheelchair. She eats liquidised food, as many of the other residents do, but ‘eats very well’, says González. thinkspain

THE QUIRKY AND CHEAP TRICK THAT WILL MAKE YOUR FAVOURITE FRAGRANCE LAST FOR AN EXTRA TWO YEARS

•N ever place your expensive fragrance in your windowsill • The heat can destroy its intensity and impression, say experts • Cover it in foil and place in the fridge to make it last longer Have you ever noticed that after dousing yourself in your favourite fragrance in the morning, the scent seems to have worn off just a few hours later? It could well be because of the way you’ve been storing it, say experts. If you’ve been placing your expensive fragrance in your windowsill, the sunlight may have been evaporating its character, causing it to lose its intensity and impression. Want to make your favourite perfume last for two extra years? Cover it in foil and leave it in your fridge, say perfume experts Indeed, as Mark Knitowski, senior vice president of product development and innovation for Victoria’s Secret Beauty, told Byrdie: ‘The best way to keep your fragrance fresh is to store it in a cool, unlit space, like a refrigerator. It can make the fragrance last up two years longer. ‘Because when fragrance is in heat and sunlight,

it loses its intensity and impression due to heat’s ability to evaporate the fragrance character.’ He also makes a curious case for covering it with aluminum foil, which he says will help it to last much longer and preserve its potency. Dior’s UK Fragrance ambassador, Carl Groenewald, agrees, telling FEMAIL: ‘Once a fragrance has been purchased and unopened it should be stored in a dry cool environment, preferably in its original box. If these rules are followed the fragrance should be protected and good to use for two years. ‘If you are using a fragrance and are unsure if it has gone off, test the scent on a tissue. If it seems to smell sour, heat and oxidation many have broken down the fragrance molecules and then unfortunately the fragrance is unusable unless you want to smell of vinegar.’ If it’s too late and you’ve been storing your fragrance on your windowsill, fear not! Debbie Wild, Lifestyle Editor at fragrance powerhouse, Jo Malone London, says there are plenty of ways you can enhance the scent. ‘Layering different textures of a fragrance is the best way to create depth and to enhance the longevity on the skin,’ she explained. ‘Try beginning your layering

Hair & Beauty Studio

‘The moisturising combination of products and scents layered on your skin creates a scented base for your favourite fragrance combination to adhere to. Fragrance will be most effective applied on pulse-points or where there is good circulation and warmth (i.e. wrists, throat, behind the knee and inside the elbow).’

I’m on the following life kicks: attempting to cook, lifting weights, arranging flowers (don’t ask), and almost exclusively air-drying my hair.

PURPLE HIBISCUS.CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE

Reading and reviewing this novel has been a “pleasure” but also painful. It is a cathartic experience for Kambili and the readers. The hibiscus plant grows all over the world and is important symbolically. In places such as S.Korea and Malaysia it is the national flower. The red hibiscus is the flower of the Hindu goddess, Kali. Adichie wanted to use it as the symbol of freedom, a new beginning away from the oppression of society and family life. Kambili is the protagonist, a young naive girl who loves her father even though he intimidates her and constantly punishes her. On one occasion she is hospitalised fighting for her life. Eugene, her father is a wealthy business man showing benevolence towards the poor but abuse and malevolence towards his family. He has been indoctrinated by the fervour of post-colonialism after independence was declared and the turmoil of civil war through his views on Catholicism. He is depicted as a religious zealot, an extremist and shockingly, he has severed his ties with his own father who he refers to as a heathen who continues to worship his ancestors in the way the traditionalists did. As a contrast, Eugene’s sister Aunt Ifeoma is warm

and caring but poor. She is a university lecturer at a time of unrest and she provides Kambili and her brother Jaja with an alternative life, one that is full of hope and more moderate. It is in her aunt’s modest flat where the 15 year old falls in love with Father Amadi; it is a beautiful experience for her and the reader after tolerating the oppressive and damaging “love” of her father. He is a wonderful person, full of life, extremely caring, a young man who spontaneously bursts into Igbo song and full of humanity. The love is reciprocated but he is unable to commit to a relationship with Kambili. Beatrice, her mother tolerates most of the abuse inflicted on the family. It is because of Eugene that she miscarries twice and like her daughter, is hospitalised. Adichie wanted to show that there were alternatives even if the fight for freedom and human rights destroys the nucleus of the family which it does for Eugene and family. Highly recommended.

Hello and welcome to CanDu Computer Bytes. If you need professional computer help, you can contact me to make an appointment at my workshop or clinic (which is at Maloan’s bar in Albox). I must, over the years, have managed to educate, through these article, many people about their computers and how to get the best from them. This is based on the number of people that have been coming to my clinic recently. As You have been such good students and learned so much, I have decided to end the clinic unless You make a specific appoint to meet me there. So the subject for today! We are going to re-visit the creation of memorable passwords. Over the years that I have been writing, and hopefully, educating, We have considered the use of passwords, safe password storage programs and ‘aid memoirs’ to keep your passwords safe. We have discussed the need to have a different password for every website that you visit and still many readers use the same one for everything! This is your choice and must be respected! What if there were a method that you could use to create memorable passwords, would that be of any use to you? Today we will look at several techniques to create wonderful passwords that can be easily remembered. Let’s look at the different passphrases (not passwords – a phrase is MUCH more difficult to unravel) that are already easy available and being used every single day! So as they say on ‘Strictly come dancing’ “in no specific order”:Nursery Rhymes! How many have thought of using a nursery rhyme? I didn’t! Stop reading and think of one. When you have recited or sung it through, think of another, then come back to the article! Favourite line from a film! In my case there are tens of thousands to go at. My current favourite it “It is better to burn-out than to fade away!”. Spoken by the Kurgan on the

original ‘Highlander’ film. Techno-Jargon! This is often levelled at many of my peers and probably rightly so. This career specific terminology is particularly difficult to crack as it is so specific. He is a really simple phrase “A tooth Bytes, Bits are tiny and a nibble can get you into trouble”. Numbers! This can be as easy or as difficult as you choose. One easy way is to select 2 birthdays. When you run them together you will have a 12-16 digit password (depending on if you use the century part of the date)! For Example. Battle of Hastings (14th of October 1066) becomes 10661014 and Lincoln Cathedral was consecrated on (9th of May 1092) becomes 10920509! Used together they become a stinker of a password to crack! KeyBoard Patterns! Using your keyboard you create a ‘design’ that starts with a given letter and then hits every letter on the keyboard under the simple picture (design)! For example the Hike Swoosh (Tick) might start with the ‘S’ and hit ZDTYU en route. Now the method to use the first 3! The method is simple, pick a nursery rhyme, or film line or techo-babble. Now substitute numbers for some of the letters, for example, number 1 for the letter I, number 7 for the letter L, 5 for S and so on. Create your own imaginative substitution code. So here is an example: “Hickory dickory dock” becomes “H1ck0ry_d1ck0ry-d0ck”. Simple to create, much harder to crack ;-) We can also extend the number method by using a standard mnemonic system to create complete sentences from a random string of numbers. There are websites that can instruct you how. The best one found to date is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Mnemonic_major_system So until next time, Happy Password Creation.

MORTGAGES SHOULD NOT BE COMMODITISED

Last week we saw some betterthan-expected UK GDP growth: up 0.5 per cent since the EU referendum. Of course, it is still early days. With politicians on all sides doing their best to confuse, scare and generally talk a lot of hot air, things can always change as the debacle rumbles on. Brexit aside, I cannot ignore the fact Santander is planning to extend its ‘30-minute’ remortgage service to homemovers and firsttime buyers by the end of the year. Although lenders have the right to do what they feel they need to, I worry about the advice element in all of this and whether the consumer is getting the right outcome. A first-time buyer going online to obtain the biggest loan they are ever going to take out, via an effective panel of one and all in 30 minutes? Sounds like a really bad idea to me. I am biased, of course, but I passionately believe that mortgages should not be

commoditised. They are special cases that need careful handling and, most of all, advice. It still amazes me how little people really know and understand about products, fees, risks and processes, or what a mortgage broker does, for that matter. This is not just about Santander. I have always respected the people who work there, from the BDMs all the way up. And let’s not forget how it supported brokers when other lenders were lagging behind. Indeed, it is not the only player looking at this idea. But we need to work together and be responsible as an industry to educate the public and protect them from poor decisions and bad advice.

The UK economy grew faster than expected in the three months after the Brexit vote, official figures indicate, helped by strong service sector growth. The economy expanded by 0.5% in the July-toSeptember period, according to the Office for National Statistics. That was slower than the 0.7% rate in the previous quarter, but stronger than analysts’ estimates of about 0.3%. “There is little evidence of a pronounced effect in the immediate aftermath of the vote,” the ONS said. Welcoming the figures, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Phillip Hammond said: “The fundamentals of the UK economy are strong and today’s data show that the economy is resilient.” The economy was boosted by a strong performance from the services sector, which grew by 0.8% in the quarter. Transport, storage and communication was the strongest part of the service sector, growing by 2.2%. That was the fastest pace since 2009 and was helped by a healthy quarter for the UK’s film industry. The latest films in the Jason Bourne and Star Trek franchises were released in July along with other popular productions, lifting takings at box offices. ONS chief economist Jo Grice said “A strong performance in the dominant services industries continued to offset further falls in construction,

while manufacturing continued to be broadly flat.” This is the first estimate of economic growth for the period, using less than half the data that will be used for the final estimate. The economy has slowed slightly but by nothing like as much as feared and the Office for National Statistics says that “the pattern of growth continues to be broadly unaffected following the EU referendum”. That pattern is, however, a rather unbalanced one. The only sector of the economy that continued to grow was services, up by 0.8%; agriculture, manufacturing production and construction all shrank. Brexit supporters will take these figures as a sign that warnings about the economic costs of voting to leave the EU were nothing more than scaremongering. Remain supporters will argue that only prompt action by the Bank of England saved the economy and that worse is to come. While growth in the services sector was robust, the construction sector contracted by 1.4% and industrial production fell 0.4%, with manufacturing output down 1%. “In manufacturing, the contraction in output should be attributed to some unwinding of the massive growth spike seen in the second quarter, rather than industry scaling back production for any referendum related reasons,” said Lee Hopley, chief economist at the EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation. “In line with the raft of survey data the GDP estimates confirm that it has been more or less business as usual but it doesn’t tell us, however, if this will continue for the foreseeable future.” No details of consumer spending were released in this set of figures, but Howard Archer, UK economist at IHS Global Insight, said: “It looks certain that third-quarter growth was also heavily dependent on consumers’ willingness to keep spending, supported by still decent purchasing power and high employment. “Consumer spending also clearly benefited from the weakened pound encouraging spending by overseas visitors to the UK. The weakened pound also supported foreign orders for UK goods and services.” Bbc.com

Marbella conference on foreign demand for property in Spain As I predicted, Brexit is turning out to be bad news for the property market on the Costa del Sol, where the British have been the biggest group of buyers for many years. I was in Marbella on Wednesday speaking at a conference on the property market organised by Tinsa (Spain’s leading appraisal company), HolaBank (part of CaixaBank, specialising in banking services for foreigners in Spain), and the Observatorio Inmobiliaria trade magazine, in collaboration with the Malaga Lawyer’s Association. I gave a presentation on trends in foreign demand before and after Brexit, and had the chance to speak with a good number of lawyers and agents who work with foreign clients. Most told me that Brexit has had a significant negative impact on their business, which I already knew from a survey I have carried out in the last couple of weeks (more on that another day). As you can see from the chart below, British demand is dominant in Malaga province (home to the Costa del Sol) as it has been for many years. Buyers from the UK were 36% of the the foreign market in Malaga province last year, more than double the next biggest group (Sweden), and 50% of the top six markets combined. Brexit impact costa del sol property market Since Brexit, and even in the months leading up to Brexit, British buyer interest (enquiries, visits, sales) has taken a dive. Most of the professionals I spoke to at the conference, and those I have surveyed by email, report that British demand has suffered a “moderate” or “big decline”, and I think when reliable figures are finally available we will see a big decline in British purchases, perhaps 50% or more, at least in the six months after Brexit. “You can forget the British market for the next year,” one agent told me. The general mood was sombre. BLAME STERLING What’s driving the decline? A few people report client concerns about the status of Brits in Europe after EU exit, but more than anything it’s the fall in the pound that’s taking potential buyers out of the market. The next chart

shows British purchases (all Spain) and the EURGBP exchange rate in recent quarters. I think we will soon see reported sales following the exchange rate down. Spanish property sales Some professionals I have spoken to say that Brexit has influenced clients from other countries, some of whom are also deciding to wait and see. Buyers will often jump on any excuse to avoid having to make a big decision, and uncertainty is nearly always bad for confidence in any market. Looking on the bright side some agents report that British buyer interest stabilised in September after plunging in July and August in response to the original Brexit shock. “We have noticed an impact from the Brexit, not only on British demand but across other EU nationalities as well as the shockwaves of uncertainty touched other countries, however that now seems to be righting itself and figures are working steadily back up,” says Catriona Hogan, Marketing Director of Your Viva, one of the leading agents on the coast. “We are still getting a good level of interest but there is a certain reticence when it comes to closing the deal – with some people presumably holding off until they know what is going to happen and also holding to see if Sterling recuperates further.” Unfortunately, the pound has lurched down again in October, so I wouldn’t be surprised if British interest is back on the slide. If you want to know where British buyer interest is heading, just look at the direction of the pound. And when I say interest I’m not talking about people dreaming of buying in Spain and making enquiries online, I’m talking about people who are serious about buying.

BRITISH VENDORS MORE FLEXIBLE

Most professionals I have surveyed around the country report more flexibility from British vendors, though perhaps not in the Balearics, where vendors tend to have more bargaining power than in other regions. With the pound now so weak, British vendors can afford to accept lower offers that don’t look so bad when changed into pounds.

RAJOY FINALLY COMES TO POWER AGAIN EVEN Pablo Iglesias, the leader of the leftist Podemos party, this week recognised that one of the political qualities of Mariano Rajoy, Spain’s conservative prime minister, is patience. Having endured seven years as opposition leader, Mr Rajoy won power in a landslide in 2011 and had to pick up the pieces of his country’s housing bust. His fiscal curbs and a raft of financial and labour-market reforms speeded up a vigorous economic recovery, but were unpopular. Together with corruption scandals in local government, that cost Mr Rajoy his majority in an election last December. His People’s Party (PP) remained the largest party, but in a newly fragmented parliament. Since then, Spain and Mr Rajoy, reduced to an impotent caretaker, have waited for more than 300 days. No party has been able to assemble a parliamentary majority. A second election in June boosted the PP (from 123 seats in December to 137 out of 350) but failed to break the deadlock. Then after a wrenching internal struggle and faced with a third election at which they would probably lose more seats to the PP, the opposition Socialists at last agreed to abstain. That should allow Mr Rajoy’s new government to be approved in a parliamentary vote expected on October 29th. How much the prime minister can achieve with his powers restored is unclear. Mr Rajoy has the support of Ciudadanos, a new liberal party with 32 seats. To approve a budget, and the further belt-tightening required to meet the targets agreed with the European Commission for the fiscal deficit (to 3.1% of GDP next year, from a target of 4.6% this year), the prime

minister will have to try and scrape up votes from Basque nationalists or rely on further Socialist abstentions. This is new territory for a Spanish government. The PP has the fewest seats of any ruling party since democracy was restored in the 1970s. Accustomed to steamrollering laws through, Mr Rajoy acknowledged that he will now have “to earn governability…day by day”. He has some cards: he can threaten to call a fresh election, and can only be overthrown if the opposition unites around an alternative. Apart from the economy, the most pressing issue facing the new government is Catalonia. Its regional government plans to hold a referendum on independence next September. Mr Rajoy, backed by Ciudadanos, refuses even to talk about that. Catalans could still be dissuaded if offered more autonomy, as the Socialists propose. But confrontation looks likely. A minority government will test the opposition, too. The Socialists fear ceding to Podemos the mantle of opposition to Mr Rajoy. Having flirted with a post-modern politics of the centre, Mr Iglesias has retreated towards the hard left. Many Spaniards dislike Mr Rajoy, but they want a government and the signs are that they want their politicians to cooperate. Last year the rise of Podemos and Ciudadanos prompted many commentators to write the obituary of the two traditional parties. In the new world of minority government, Mr Rajoy and the Socialists will still be the key players. And patience may continue to gain its reward. economist.com

LEGAL CORNER WITH MICHAEL DAVIES, ABOGADO/SOLICITOR

If you wish us to print an article about a particular topic, please e-mail info@daviessolicitors.com - www.daviessolicitors.com Inheritance tax: New exemptions for inheritance by non-residents: Excellent news: Inheritance tax discrimination of non-residents has come to an end thanks to the European Court of Justice. Make sure that when you file your inheritance tax as a non-resident beneficiary that your solicitor calculates your tax also as if you were a resident in the autonomous region with the maximum connection with the estate (using any additional exemption offered in that region of Spain to its residents). For example, where the property is situated. In the case of an inheritance in Andalucía this will in practice mean that if you are a Spouse or a descendent and receive less than 175,000 euro in value, you will pay no inheritance tax (other regions of Spain have different exemptions). It can result in a bit of confusion because, as before, as you are nonresident you will need to present the tax declarations to the national tax office (Agencia Triburaria) in Madrid . But you can claim the same exemptions as if you were a resident in Andalucia presenting your return to

the regional government in Andalucia (which is where you would have presented it had you been a resident). If the tax calculated is lower as a resident, you are entitled to claim the same tax level as a resident on your self-assessment form. Please note that if you present a self-assessment and do not make the above calculations and claim the most favourable outcome on your self-assessment form, then it would be a complex procedure to get your money back if you later realise that you were entitled to the extra exemption. It is an easy mistake to make. People are still presenting the self-assessment forms without taking advantage of the system that has been created by the sentence of the European Court of Justice of 3rd of September of 2014 and the resulting change the government has made to the inheritance tax forms for nonresidents, introduced on the 31st of December of 2014 For further information about this and who is actually affected by the situation, please read our previous article which we printed back in September of 2014 when the sentence was issued by the ECJ.

THE WEDDING

Loco Paco and Loca Pepe are to be wed. Pepa wanted a white wedding with all the trimmings, carriages drawn by horses, a retinue of bridesmaids, clouds of confetti and a full church service. Paco wanted to watch the football. Pepa had ‘popped’ the question, “Do you want to marry me?” But this was a sentence of some six words and Paco lost concentration after the fourth. To his confused and permanently dazed mind the fifth and sixth words were “watch football” something people with diminished intelligence can do, in fact it is a requirement. The day was set, preparations made and Pepa waiting in anticipation. Loco Paco didn’t know if it was his wedding Day, Christmas Day or the anniversary of the Battle of the River Plate, quite frankly he didn’t much care as his pet Saharan Dung Beetle, Benjy was in training. Alqueria’s existentialist Priest, Sacerdote del Semblante Lánguido performed the ceremony in front of a packed church. He was patience personified as Paco stopped the proceeding several times to discuss the U.S. Presidential Elections with Bert, his imaginary five foot rodent friend. The worthy Priest did however snigger when he came to the promise of fidelity in the service, thinking it the biggest work of

VIEWPOINT

fiction since the Tories promised to properly fund the NHS. But then Sacerdote del Semblante Lánguido had heard Manuela’s confession which had driven him into the arms of Sartre and existentialism. Paco had some vague idea why this woman in white was standing next to him making absurd promises which even in his confused state knew couldn’t and wouldn’t be kept, but then this applies to most wedding services. The ‘happy’ or perhaps bewildered couple left the church and began an idyllic honeymoon. Idyllic because Loca Pepa spent two weeks in the Bar La Casa Devante where Remitroot Wine was only at an arms length away and Paco went to Zamora for a Dung Beetle Race meeting. Anselmo Adamso, the photographer raced to his studio to print and mount the wedding pictures before the couple could file for divorce, seventy-two hours was where the smart money was going. Pepa finally sobered from her Remitroot induced coma and couldn’t remember the wedding, Loco Paco or her name. Paco, flush with success after Bengy his dung beetle won the Duke of Chinless Stakes, although Paco is being investigated for doping, all else then paled into insignificance causing him to totally forget his marital status. In fact the marriage was never spoken of again.

Day 5: By now the Burial Ground was becoming overcrowded, so green netting from found from goodness knows where, and stretched over the fencing, thus thwarting access through the fence from all sides. Day 6: All corners of the Burial Ground were now in use. The enemy could only be accessing the Patch from the party wall, so our only option was to prevent them from getting on to that wall. But how? We retired to confer. Day 7: Was spent in thought. Day 8: To pass the time whilst still thinking I hosed the Patch, thus flattening the barrows and nicely damping the ground. Day 9: No more barrows. The Cat Relief Centre was now obviously in use, and the cats threatened the Geneva Convention. I pointed out that they were using Biological Warfare. Day 10: The peace will hold as long as I keep the Patch wet – cats don’t like wet. We’ve won the battle, but I’m not convinced we’ve won the war!

THE BATTLE OF THE PATCH

The Battle of the Patch A.D. 2016 was fought over the sovereignty of a patch of ground measuring about 2 metres by 4 metres, and arose due to neglect by the incumbent owner. The Patch became overrun with weeds, and turned into an apparently unadopted waste area. However, as my health has improved I felt the desire to Grow Things, namely vegetables, in my vegetable patch. I summoned both my troops, Pete and the Indispensable Andy, who weeded my patch and turned the soil over to produce a nice friable surface ready for my anticipated plantlets. The opposing side, the Felines, instantly overran it. I know this because next morning it was covered with small neatly scraped mounds, making it look like a miniature medieval barrow burial ground. Battle was met. Day 1: 4 posts were located among the heap of Useful Things That We’d Better Not Throw away and Indispensable Andy drove them in at the corners of the disputed area. Day 2: The number of barrows in the miniature medieval barrow burial ground had increased, despite the threat posed by the not yet deployed posts. Day 3: Under Pete’s supervision Indispensable Andy built a bespoke Cat Relief Centre next to the Patch. Day 4: More barrows. My army and I went to Organica and bought 4 lengths of expandable garden fence, which were hung on the posts using hooks from Pete’s Box of Necessary

HEART WARMING SOUPS

WARMING SOUP RECIPES TO NOURISH THE SOUL, AND HELP USE UP ALL THOSE EXTRA VEGETABLES LURKING IN YOUR FRIDGE! Evidence of the existence of soup can be found as far back as about 6,000 BC. Boiling was not a common cooking technique until the invention of waterproof containers (which probably

came in the form of clay vessels or pouches made of animal skin) about 9,000 years ago. Soup can be made out of broth or a form of liquid.

DANCING IN THE FOUNTAIN THE SECRET TO THE SPANISH DIET The Spanish diet may violate every nutritional belief

Karen McCann has learned, yet the lifestyle and eating habits in Spain have worked enormous benefits. What's the secret? At dinner parties, even nibbling the minimal amounts required of a good guest, I am always more than replete after the appetisers alone. But of course, there is always more to come. But how, with all this eating and drinking, aren’t the Spanish fatter? More to the point, why wasn’t I gaining weight? In Spain, I had abandoned my long-held, low-fat vegetarian diet, committing a host of sins with jamon, fried fish, chocolate, and beer. Yet my weight actually went down a little, and I knew I looked and felt fitter. How was this possible? And what next? Was I about to learn that recycling actually harms the planet, driving sober increases the chances of car accidents, and cigarettes prevent cancer? Just how upside-down was my worldview going to get? So far, no one has tried to convince me of any of those things. But during my first year in Seville, as I violated one fundamental nutritional belief after another with apparent impunity, I began to develop some theories (or possibly rationalisations) to explain the phenomenon. The true Spanish diet First of all, while my diet is extremely rich, the amount I eat (when not at dinner parties) is quite small. I consume less but never feel hungry, because in place of mountains of low-fat food, I’m eating small portions of dishes that are truly satisfying to palate and stomach. Meals are also taken slowly. The Sevillano lunch is no mere sandwich, no quick carton of yogurt gulped down at the desk surrounded by ringing phones. This is the main meal of the day, and most shops and businesses close from two until five in order to allow people time to collect the kids from school and head home to a

family meal or to a nearby café with friends or coworkers. The other reason I feel so healthy is that I walk everywhere. In a city like Seville, travelling by foot is simply the most practical way to get around. The convoluted street plan, with its overabundance of one-ways and dead-ends — to say nothing of the narrow streets crowded with illegally parked vehicles — makes driving in the city centre a nightmare. Living in the Ohio countryside, I averaged two hours in the car every day; now I spend that amount of time strolling through the city to visit the shops, markets, cafés, gymnasium, friends’ homes, museums, theatres, and other places that make up the daily round. On the rare occasion when my husband Rich and I want to go out of the city, we rent a car or travel with friends. Many Spanish and expat friends have cars, especially if they have kids or need to travel for business; but even then, if they live in the city, walking is their first choice. Among all the other advantages, the pedestrian lifestyle means no one has to serve as the designated driver and spend the night drinking cerveza sin alcohol (alcohol-free beer), known as sin for short. Alcohol is such an accepted fact of Spanish life that the government makes little effort to control the drinking habits of the population, but it has undertaken the equally thankless task of trying to rein in the nation’s tobacco consumption. When I arrived in Seville, it seemed as if everyone smoked, including my doctor and the young woman who worked at the health food store. Many considered it one of the basic pleasures of life and a health risk worth taking, in much the same way Americans consume considerably more sugar than they know is good for them. A famous Spanish ad campaign positioned smoking as a matter of personal

freedom; its slogan, “I choose,” ran beneath photos such as a naked man capering joyfully in a field or two pretty girls kissing passionately. I began to understand why the Spanish live an average of four years longer than Americans, despite the fact that huge numbers of them smoke, drink alcohol (sometimes even at breakfast), and eat vast amounts of ham (which they claim actually lowers cholesterol). Sitting with good friends, nibbling ham and olives, sipping drinks, and trying to express how we truly think and feel about what’s most important to us — life just doesn’t get better than that. As the Spanish saying goes, el vino, para que sepa a vino, bebelo con un amigo — for wine to taste like wine, you must drink it with a friend. I suspect their longevity is due to some combination of the famous Mediterranean diet, the less hardcharging lifestyle, and of course, universal access to medical treatment. Their approach to health care may sometimes appear a little unorthodox by American standards, but it seems to work. http://www.expatica.com

fundraising for various charities, from donating monies to Help for Heroes, to collecting Christmas Presents for local Orphanages and for the last two years, raising money and food bank donations to the local old people’s home the Residencia Virgin del Rio. The ‘Slimathon’ consists of local volunteers who put themselves through a 6-week public humiliation of trying to lose weight. Monies are raised by sponsorship, by volunteers not losing weight or being absent at the weekly weigh-in and by the generous donations of local people. A Christmas Party at the end of the slimathon also helps to raise further money. The Club will also be selling T-shirts donated by the owner of Taberna Amazir, Miguel Rodrigues Artero and his family. This year the Club will be raising money for MACS (Mojacar Area Cancer Support Group) and food donations for the Residencia Virgin del Rio in Huercal-Overa. The weekly public weigh-in will commence at Taberna Amazir (Coviran), Urcal on Friday 4 November, and will continue at Taberna Amazir every Friday evening culminating in the final weigh-in and Christmas Party at Taberna Amazir on Friday 16 December 2016. Everyone is welcome to come along and either participate in the Slimathon or just to join in the fun and banter every Friday, if you require any information contact Martin on 627 177 208 0r Debbie on 627 173 390.

GARETH BALE: REAL MADRID STAR HAS REPORTED $1 BILLION BUYOUT CLAUSE IN NEW DEAL

Gareth Bale has become the world’s best-paid player, after the Real Madrid forward signed a three-year contract extension in the Spanish capital worth £350,000 a week after tax. The deal, confirmed by Madrid on its official website on Sunday, will keep Bale at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium until at least June 2022. Bale’s new buyout clause was reported by The Guardian to be £900 million ($1 billion). As significant as tying Bale to Madrid for what should be the best years of his career, is the fact that he will now earn more than the putative £288,000 per week ($351,000) currently garnered by Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo remains in talks with Madrid over a potential new five-year deal.

Bale eclipsed him as the world’s most expensive player when the Welshman signed for the Spanish giant in 2013 for £85 million ($103.6 million), a fee since beaten by Paul Pogba’s £89 million ($108.4 million) summer 2016 move to Manchester United. http://europe.newsweek.com/

LEWIS HAMILTON WINS MEXICAN GRAND PRIX TO KEEP TITLE CHASE ALIVE

Lewis Hamilton kept his title hopes alive with a comfortable victory from Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in the Mexican Grand Prix. Hamilton survived a scare at the start, when he ran wide at the first corner after locking a front tyre. But otherwise he was untroubled en route to his 51st career win. In the championship, the result changes little, and Rosberg can win the title by finishing second to Hamilton at the last two races of the season. Hamilton is 19 points adrift with a total of 50 available in Brazil and Abu Dhabi. Rosberg can now regroup after a weekend on which Hamilton was in almost total control throughout. The German will doubtless keep to his well-worn mantra that he is taking it one race at a time and trying to win each one, but he has the luxury of knowing he can afford to take it easy in both remaining races and clinch his first world title. Both Mercedes take to the grass Rosberg also had a scare, and a more eventful race than Hamilton, as 120,000 fans had little to excite them under blue skies and warm sunshine in Mexico City, until some frantic and bad-tempered late action in a battle over third place between Red Bull's Max Verstappen, Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo. Hamilton spent the first stint controlling his pace to ensure he did not overwork his damaged tyre, while Rosberg was under pressure from Verstappen. Rosberg and the Dutchman had collided at the first corner as Verstappen tried to take second place, Rosberg taking to the grass behind Hamilton after the collision. The incident was investigated by the stewards but given the all-clear. Verstappen's audacious overtake attempt It was a foretaste of what was to come. As Hamilton controlled the race - on the way to a victory that puts him equal with Alain Prost in second place in the all-time winners' list, with Michael Schumacher

Pit Stop

way ahead on 91 - Rosberg spent much of the afternoon watching his mirrors for Verstappen. There was stalemate for a long time, until Rosberg locked up into Turn One on lap 50 while trying to lap Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz. Verstappen saw his opportunity and dived down the inside into Turn Four. Although he was briefly ahead, he could not stop in time and ran wide, sliding across the track on opposite steering lock, and Rosberg regained the place. It was Verstappen's one and only chance. Once he was back up to speed, the gap was out to 2.5 seconds and Rosberg edged gently away for the rest of the race. Red Bull's gamble of starting on the super-soft tyres to try to mix it with the Mercedes did not really pay off, but it led to a dramatic battle in the closing laps. Instead of challenging Rosberg, Verstappen found himself under pressure in the closing laps from Vettel and Ricciardo. Vettel started on the soft tyre like the Mercedes and ran a very long 33-lap first stint, leading for 16 laps after Hamilton's first stop. That gave him tyres that were 20 laps fresher than Verstappen's for the final stint and he closed in inexorably until he was within 1.2secs with six laps to go. Verstappen the villain Verstappen locked up at the first corner on lap 68 and ran wide over the grass, cutting the corner and keeping hold of third place, the German complaining he should be given the position as Verstappen was advised by his team to hand it over. But Verstappen kept fighting as Vettel tried to pass, the four-time world champion claiming the Dutchman was backing him into Ricciardo, who fought back through the field after a first-lap stop put him on a two-stop strategy. The three were nose to tail at the start of the penultimate lap and Vettel was right on the edge in holding Ricciardo back as he tried to pass into Turn Four. The incident spread the gap between the three cars and Verstappen crossed the line in third, from Vettel and Ricciardo. But Verstappen's cutting of the first corner was

investigated by the stewards on the grounds he might have gained an advantage by leaving the track and in dramatic scenes Verstappen was given a five-second penalty immediately after the race and was demoted to fifth. Mexican Grand Prix marshalls "Vettel said WHAT to Charlie?!?" Some of the marshals donned face paint to celebrate Mexico's Day of the Dead Verstappen was forced to leave the pre-podium room as Vettel ran to take up his place on the podium. However, in a further twist, Vettel then lost third place after becoming the first driver to be punished under a new dangerous driving rule for his defence against Ricciardo's attempted pass. Vettel was penalised 10 seconds for moving while in the braking zone and given two penalty points on his licence - ending up fifth and Ricciardo eventually being classified as third. Furious Vettel rants at F1 referee Vettel had earlier fumed over the radio, using several expletives in telling his team how unhappy he was with race director Charlie Whiting. Vettel celebrates his podium after Verstappen’s demotion, but his delight would be short-lived He and Verstappen then gesticulated at each other after crossing the line, Vettel wagging his finger at Verstappen. bbc.com

MAGGIE AND ‘HER BOYS’ WIN AT IBC INVITATION RINKS

DASHING IN PINK

I`m happy to report that even more people turned up for the training session this week. Not only that but most of them were able to walk unaided. A serious advantage. As they began their usual warm up session I thought back to the early games when little attention was paid to warm up or warm down sessions. Consequently many players suffered for a few days after each match. Crikey! Even I join in....................... and I can`t even write fast. Training over, they quickly divided themselves into two teams. I shall call them the Reddies and the Greenies. Malcolm Long Socks played and acted as referee. He`s the chairman so can do what he wants! Even though it`s nothing to do with me I was given the job of ball boy, photographer and also time-keeper. It was a great game and I have to draw special attention to three players. First of all Near Miss Chris. Can`t call him that anymore because he has developed into quite a formidable striker. From henceforth he is Chris Netflicker. Well done that man! Next we have Rock on Tommy

a real demon goal scorer. Watch this space as soon they will be called by the Mighty Vicko to attend their official christening ceremony. Last but by no means least Bad Boy Brian. He always gives his all but this week I couldn`t help noticing his pretty pink footwear. Bit of a fashion glitch as they didn`t match his eyes at all. Rather unwisely I advised him to watch dress designer Vicky Gill on Strictly come Dancing for some fashion tips. I`m still blushing as with much laughter from the others, he went into quite a long, graphic and 25€ contribution to the Swear Box explanation as to why he would much prefer not to do that. On with the game which as usual was played with huge enthusiasm. The Reddies scored three goals altogether against the Greenies who, after several valiant attempts managed only one. If you miss playing the beautiful game, are over 55 and want to join in with a great bunch of guys please send an email to; MLGwalkingfootball@ gmail.com

SOL TIMES COSTA ALMERIA

Maggie Holmes, along with David Horton, Ferah Mehmet and Myles Micklefield won the recently held Indalo Bowling Club Invitation Rinks in great style. This is a fantastic annual event lasting 4 days and attracted 112 bowlers, making up 28 teams, from Clubs locally, the UK and Alicante area. One team of 4 from Aston-on-Wye have been flying over and playing for 6 years and have already booked up for next year! In between all the banter and socialising, the competition was very competitive. After some great matches the semi finalists were two teams from Indalo; John and Chris Dedman, Jenny Thompson and Gill Atkinson playing Maggie, David, Ferah and Myles. It was the most exciting match with 5 needed on the last end by Maggie’s team to draw. They bowled some wonderful woods to get the 5 which took the match into a decider and one shot on the extra end was enough to secure the victory! The other semi final was played by a team made up of players from 4 different clubs, El Cid, Benitachell, Finca Guila and Cabrera (called Dolly Mixtures) against a team from Montemar Bowling Club, near Alicante. This was another close semi final with the Dolly Mixtures’ team of Jean McLaughlin, Julie

Jones, Terry Corner and Dave Greenhaugh, winning 11 to 9. The final was played after a short rest for the Indalo team, who had now played 3 matches on the same day. A total of 40 ends of bowls!! Bananas were being eaten like there was no tomorrow and the final got under way! After a close start Maggie and ‘her boys’ took the match by the throat and won with some incredibly consistent accurate bowling 16 to 8. A wonderful match, fully appreciated by the spectators who had stayed on to support their various Clubs. The trophy was presented to the Indalo team by Quentin Sellar, the Blacktower,Financial Management Group representative who sponsored the competition, along with Avalon Funeral Plans. Big thanks also went to the Competition Secretary, John Colquhoun, for the organisation of the event and his wife Debbie and Sue Mehmet for running the very busy bar!
