Defenceless and unprotectedBy Steve Walsh

Almuñecar desperately needs protection,and estimates it will cost €600,000 to re-pair the huge damage caused by the worststorms in 25 years last weekend, andcouncil concerns grow over the seriousrisks should another storm strike now.

Both the national and regional govern-ments have been asked for urgent help torepair the damage.These were the firststorms of the season and the council fearsthat if work isn’t done urgently “the nextstorm could be devastating,” said munici-pal technician Juan Jose Fernandez.

Technical inspections of the widespreaddamage revealed the breakwater that hadbeen damaged by storms the week beforehas now been broken altogether. Anotherstorm could find the area unprotected andcause serious risks.

The area has been left with large holesin roads, vast amounts of earth has beenswept away from under seafront walls

No Christmas scene atthe town hall this year COUNCIL decides it is not suitable for an administrative building THIS Christmas there will be no nativityscene in the central patio at Rincon del Vic-toria Town Hall as was set up in 2013 and2014 by the Rociera Marenga assocations.

The council has decided to get rid of thescene from the public area claiming that asit is an administrative building, “the non-re-ligious vision of the State should be fol-lowed,” according to Culture CouncillorAlina Caravaca.

The mayor, Encarnacion Anayasaid:“The town hall is not the right place todisplay a Christian scene about the birth ofJesus Christ.”

She argued that the municipal nativityscene isn’t all that traditional as there havebeen other years when the town didn’t haveone, but stressed that associations and se-nior citizen homes that wish to set up theirown at their headquarters are welcome todo so.

The Culture Councillor said discussionsare under way as to whether to use thescene pieces owned by the town at an-other municipal building.

Observing Remembrance Daywith the laying of wreathsA TRIBUTE to those who died in the service of their country

PEOPLE will stop work to observe atwo minutes’ silence at 11am on No-vember 11, which is the time and datewhen hostilities formally ended aftermore than four years of battle duringthe First World War.

Poppies are worn as a symbol of re-spect and tribute on RemembranceSunday and November 11.

This year’s Remembrance Sunday ison November 8, and the main focus ofattention will be on the ceremony atthe Cenotaph in London, which will beattended by members of the RoyalFamily, representatives of the Com-

monwealth and Overseas Territories,politicians, veterans of various con-flicts and serving military togetherwith a huge audience of onlookers.

This year, the whole ceremony willbe shorter than in the past out of re-spect for the ageing veterans who takepart in the parade and to limit theamount of standing time for theQueen, who is approaching her 90thbirthday, and Prince Philip who is 94.

As well as the main service in Lon-don, the laying of wreaths takes placeall over the UK as well as the Com-monwealth, and there will also bemany parades embracing ex-servicepersonnel now settled in Spain.

Although all of Axarquia-Costa Tropical beaches are af-fected, Torre del Mar’s worst-hitarea was the western end of theseafront. The breakwater nearthe aquapark, beaches, and LaBarca beach bar will all need re-pairs. On top of this there is theclean-up operation to be ad-dressed, as well as minor work

such as clearing beaches and ir-rigation systems.

Torre del Mar Council said:“The storm caused serious dam-age including rock falls, brokenurban furniture, beaches cov-ered in debris, flooding, brokenpaths and various other prob-lems. Emergency teams of Lo-cal Police officers and CivilProtection volunteers were sentout to deal with problems.”

OUR article that appeared in the printand internet editions of Euro WeeklyNews has certainly started people talk-ing and thinking about their position,with one reader remembering the fa-mous Boston Tea Party slogan ‘Notaxation without representation’.

Whilst we don’t expect revolution inthe street, we have become aware ofthe fact that a petition has appeared onthe Downing Street website concern-ing votes in the referendum for thosewho have lived outside of the UK formore than 15 years with the followingtitle and information:

Right to vote for British Citizens ir-respective of where they are registered

Expats and Brits working and livingabroad have no right to vote if theyhave not been registered in the UK for15 years!

We have not deserted Britain, wemay return in the future.

The elections/referendums in Britainaffect us directly too!

We would like a voice!

Preventing us from having a vote inour own country and also not being al-lowed to vote in the country that wechoose to live and work in, is contraryto the fundamental European principleof “freedom of movement within theEU”. It’s not freedom of movement ifyou are forced to either, return to yourcountry of birth or reject your originsand take on the citizenship of the coun-try in which you now reside.

The actual cut-off date is arbitrary aswhen first introduced in 1985 in theRepresentation of the People Act, onlyfive years was allowed; this was thenextended to 20 years in 1989 and re-duced to 15 years in 2002.

The government has indicated that itdoes intend to change the 15-year rule

but probably not before the referen-dum, which seems very bizarre. At theend of the day, if a person holds aBritish passport then we believe thatthey should be allowed to express theiropinion on the future of Britain.

They have to pay taxes in the coun-try of domicile but are not allowed tovote in most cases as they are still con-sidered foreigners, yet they also can’tvote in their country of birth.

The crazy situation is that all mem-bers of the Armed Forces, Crown Ser-vants and employees of the BritishCouncil are exempt from the rule yetsomeone who has embraced the Euro-pean Union, of which Britain is still amember, will be penalised and not al-lowed to vote, even though people inprison in the UK have had their votingrights protected!

For those who agree with this peti-tion, and we at Euro Weekly News cer-tainly do as it affects a number of us,we would suggest that you add yourname to this petition which needs100,000 votes in order to force a de-bate in Parliament.

spaces along the road thearea should be eyesore-freewithin the next few days,the council has announced.

Privateerrands sparkaccusations inTorroxTHE PSOE socialist party hasaccused Torrox’s Deputy May-or Paula Moreno of using an of-ficial car for private matters af-ter catching her taking her sonto school in it.

This is the second time thePP councillor has been caughtout for using official vehiclesfor private errands, as lastmonth Izquierda Unida partycomplained she was using it forsupermarket runs.

PSOE general secretary forTorrox Maria Estrella Tomahas complained that the coun-cillor is using as her own an of-ficial vehicle which is meant tobe used to provide a service tothe public.

The accused responded tothe accusations stating that sheworks 24 hours a day and seesnothing wrong with droppingher son off at school with theofficial car as it is on her way tothe office, meaning it doesn’tcreate extra expenses.

IN an endeavour to attract more visitors to thearea, 55,000 maps and tourist guides to theAxarquia are to be distributed at tourist officesand SICTED certified businesses throughout the

A CHURCH in the Lo Cea parish inTorre de Benagalbon was vandalisedlate at night on Sunday November 1 inthe second such incident in the Rinconde la Victoria area in just over a month.

Parish priest Agustin Carrasco dis-covered the damage on Monday after-noon. He found the church door hadbeen forced open and when he went in-side the priest saw statues of Christ anda Virgin on the floor. There was graffitiinside, written in Arabic, and there was

nothing missing from the building.The Local Police and the Guardia

Civil from Rincon were called out tothe scene at about 5pm and began in-vestigations into the incident.

In an earlier incident on September28, a young Moroccan man was arrest-ed for allegedly causing damage to theVirgen de Carmen encasing by throw-ing stones at the glass.

The parish expressed its dismay atthe act of vandalism in Lo Cea and de-scribed it as an isolated attack by van-dals which in no way reflects the con-

duct of the local people of Islamic faithor the relationship between the twochurches.

A parish statement said: “We wantpeaceful relations to continue and hopethis type of attack does not, along withcausing material and spiritual damage,result in deterioration of the mutuallyrespectful relations between differentreligious groups.”

The mayor of Rincon, EncarnacionAnaya, condemned the attack and saidthat CCTV recordings from nearbybusinesses will be checked.

THE Local Pol ice inVelez-Malaga had todeal with a bizarre callout at noon on ThursdayOctober 29.

It ended up with themhaving to arrest a couplefor alleged violence andbreaking a restrainingorder.

Neighbours of the of-fending couple called thepolice station to reporthearing a fight going onin public, to which a pa-trol was sent to investi-gate. Upon arrival, offi-cers discovered a manand a woman arguing,both with knife woundson their arms, shoutingand obviously in a verynervous state.

The man told the offi-cers that he was thewoman’s ex-husband butconfused the off icerswhen he said he beenhad been living with herfor 10 days.

After a few more ques-tions, the officer discov-ered that there was a re-straining order in effecton both of themand theywere actually bannedfrom going within 300metres of each other.

The woman then ex-plained that she had in-jured the man and thenherself before throwingthe knife in a bin on thestreet. When asked whyshe would do such athing, she explained thatthe restraining order wasthere because of a simi-lar incident in the past.

However, neighboursreported they had seenher come outside with arucksack and throw i tonto some waste ground,where i t was indeedfound with two knivesand some clothes inside.

After receiving med-ical assistance, the pairwere arrested.

MOTRIL’S Maintenance Depart-ment has this week begun adaptingtheir streets to cater for the growingamount of traffic, and the damage ithas caused.

Councillor Gloria Chica explainedthat the work was focused on replac-ing paving stones which had beenbroken by the pass of vehicles.

The six streets in the centre thatare affected are: Calles Chispas, En-rique Montero, Mercado Alto, Punti-cas, Cuatro Esquinas and Cruz deConchas.

“Stones measuring 30cm by 20cmare being replaced by smaller ones,measuring 20 by 10, which are moreresistant to vehicles,” Chica said,and “the cost of the work, is coveredby this year’s budgets.”

have been asked to provide an additional€500 to help families struggling withthe cost of school books.

The HELP charity have recognisedthe work that AAN is doing and Paulineis delighted that the charity was able todonate two freezers to their cause so theycan now buy meat, fish and bread thatcan be frozen, ready to hand out to peo-ple when they need it.

Pauline only really started charitywork after retiring to Spain 10 years ago.She worked for a number of animalcharities, before taking a year off fromvolunteering. But, after hearing aboutthe social situation for many of herneighbours, the passion was kicked offagain and now this is very much whereshe will continue to devote her time andeffort: “If the world was a better place,this would not be needed but while it is,

I will give it 100 per cent.” Sadly, she feels that in the next five

years there will still be some sort of de-

mand for additional help and she hopesthe charity will have grown with morevolunteers and bigger premises.

In the meantime, her inspiration hasbeen, and always will be, the childrenshe is helping: “It is just the kids thatspur me on, I just can’t see them goingwithout food in this day and age. I get soupset just thinking about it.”

Her organisational skills are a strengththat has led her to gather a team of vol-unteers and, together with their regularfundraising events, they have raisedthousands, although she does admit thatmeeting these organisational demandscan also be her weakness as she doesn’tdelegate as much as she could. That andchocolate: “I have such a sweet tooth!”

She is very modest and unassumingabout the work she is doing to help sup-port her own local community but thosearound her recognise the outstanding ef-fort she puts in and, in 2014, Pauline wasrecognised at the San Fulgencio LocalHero Awards and received the SpecialRecognition Award: “It was just amazingto be nominated and to win was so unex-pected, I don’t do it for the recognitionand there are others that I’m grateful tofor their help and support also.”

Dedicated to helping the poor

CHARITY begins at home andwhen Pauline Prior realised howmany families were struggling toeven put food on their children’splates, she decided to do some-thing about it.

Pauline set up Ayuda Al Nec-cesitado De San Fulgencio(AAN) to help support and pro-vide for the many families in theSan Fulgencio municipality whoare on the verge of poverty, strug-gling to put food on the table andto clothe their children.

For Pauline, it started over twoyears ago when the councillor forthe urbanisations at the time, JeffWiszniewski, told her about theamount of people who werestruggling and approaching socialservices for help.

Appalled at what was happen-ing, literally on her doorstep,Pauline started fundraising forthem and raising money to pur-chase general food supplieswhich the town hall then distrib-uted to those who needed it.

Pauline said: “I just couldn’tsee people going without food, itjust breaks my heart. Social ser-vices will tell us what they needand we help in any way we can.”

Her dedication led to the cre-ation of the legally registeredAAN and the charity shop, situat-ed in the urbanisation, La Marina.

Donations made are givenstraight to the families and themoney raised through the sale ofitems is used to purchase whatthey need.

Now they aim to provide be-tween €1,500 and €2,000 worthof food parcels each month tohelp the hundreds of people, bothlocal and foreign, registered withsocial services. This month, they

A MOTRIL property devel-oper given a two-year jailsentence, fined €1,440 andordered to pay €130,000 indamages a year ago for mis-appropriation, has been let offby the High Court.

A provincial court foundthe man guilty in October2014 of failing to provideguarantees on two depositsfrom customers in Malagaand Salobreña. However, anappeal has now seen the sen-tence revoked and the devel-

oper absolved.The High Court judge de-

cided that as in the first casethe property the customer hadpaid amounts towards was 97per cent complete when thedeveloper’s company wentbust, he had spent the moneyon what it was provided for.

In a second case, the judgedecided, moneys given weresimply a deposit as the loca-tion, price and details of thehome to be built had not evenbeen agreed upon.

AFFAMER rural women and family associa-tion has announced its Un Niño, Un Juguete(A Child, A Toy) campaign, aimed to ensure nochildren are left without gifts this Christmas.

Association head Inmaculada Torres said:“We all know that at this time of year there are

all sorts of charity activities. We want ours tomake children happy.”

Toys can be taken to the association’spremises on Motril’s Calle Domingo Cuesta,from where they will be sent to the Red Crossand local charities for distribution.

TORRE del Mar Council has borrowed a special vehicle from alocal company which it is using to spray a pleasantly-scentedcleaning product on traditionally smelly streets.

So far about 200 points on the map have been treated, thecouncil explained, and the product improves the smell floorsgive off while causing no harm.

If people lodge complaints about a particularly smelly area,the vehicle can even be sent to give it an emergency squirt.

RINCON de la Victoria Town Hall hasalready received its first request from alocal woman who wishes to hold a civilcommunion for her daughter in 2016.

The new ceremonies, which were onlyannounced last week, will provide fami-lies with a way to celebrate their off-spring’s passing from childhood to pre-

teen years with none of the religious as-pects of the traditional Catholic firstcommunion youngsters usually have inSpain.

Dolores Diez, a self-declared atheist, isthe first person to have requested one ofthe promised civil ceremonies for hereight-year-old daughter.

“I’m not bringing her up within any re-ligion and she doesn’t go to church

school or take religion at school,” Diezexplained.

“We don’t go to mass and when Iasked her about communions, she saidshe only wanted the party. The town hallis offering me the chance to let mydaughter have her special day withoutputting on the pretence of attendingchurch just for that reason,” the mothersaid.

WORK has been an-nounced to improve theroad to La Cala de Moralcemetery, which has be-come badly deterioratedover recent years.

FIVE people suspected ofbeing behind the theft of€45,000 worth of jew-ellery from a shop in Motrilhave been arrested by theNational Police in Lleida.

Altogether the gang isbelieved to have stolenmore than €110,000 duringattacks on elderly and vul-nerable people at or outsidebanks and jewellers shopsin Madrid, Motril, Cadiz,Gijon and Lleida.

The suspects, three menand two women, were ar-rested immediately afterthey stole a woman’s hand-bag containing €3,855 shehad just withdrawn fromher bank in Lleida, the po-lice force reported.

Although on this occa-sion the suspects were car-rying Mexican ID cards,passports and driving li-cences, they had been ar-rested in Spain in the pastcarrying false ID in othernames from Guatemala,Venezuela and Cuba.

MALAGA City Council has put itsfoot down about dog mess on thestreets.

At the latest plenary session, it unan-imously approved the creation of apublic register of dogs’ DNA, whichwill then enable the authorities pick upsamples from the pavement and trackdown the offending pooch, and ofcourse fine the owner who failed topick up their pet’s doo-doo in the firstplace. Once the bylaw changes comeinto effect, owners will have sixmonths to get their dogs registered.

Checking the calendar to make sureit wasn’t April 1, I spoke to Sue Griggsof the animal charity SOS in Coin toask what she thought of the new laws,and what implications they might havefor dog owners.

“It’s a joke, she said, “a bad joke,and I have a feeling it’s the poor dogsthat will come out worse.”

She continued: “According to whatpeople are saying, municipal bylaws onanimal ownership will now be modi-fied, and dog owners will have to taketheir pets to the vet for DNA testing.

Obviously the cost of the test underthis new law will have to be borne bythe owner.” She barked (no pun intend-ed): “What if you have lots of dogs?

“The responsible dog owner always

picks up after their dog; it’s the peoplethat don’t care about their dogs who areto blame. And they are the type of peo-ple who will just throw a dog out tofend for itself rather than pay to bedropped in the pooh (pun intended) byhaving to pay for a test that will con-vict them.”

Sue added: “The council says it willbudget for discounts on the ‘pooh-print’ tests for people who can’t affordto pay the full price, but how much willthey pay? Charities and refuges havehundreds of dogs that they look afteron a shoestring budget without councilhelp because uncaring people have dis-carded them; it could cost thousands!

“Instead of spending money on stu-pid ideas that will just create more suf-fering and stray animals, why doesn’tthe council employ more street clean-ers, that way more people from the areaare in employment, less dole moneyhas to be paid, and the government getsmore income tax,” Sue questioned.

THE major art installation ‘BloodSwept Lands and Seas of Red’ at theTower of London, marked 100 yearssince the first full day of Britain’s in-volvement in the First World War.

Created by artists Paul Cumminsand Tom Piper, 888,246 ceramic pop-pies progressively filled the Tower’sfamous moat between July 17 and No-vember 11 last year with each poppyrepresenting a British military fatalityduring that war.

The poppies encircled the iconiclandmark, creating not only a spectac-ular display visible from all around theTower but also a location for personalreflection. The scale of the installationwas intended to reflect the magnitudeof such an important centenary andcreate a powerful visual commemora-tion. It attracted hundreds of thousandsof visitors from around the world,making their way to view the installa-tion which obviously changed on adaily basis.

All of the poppies that made up theinstallation were then sold, raising mil-lions of pounds, which were shared

equally amongst six service charities.This year, it is hoped that generous

giving will continue and more will beraised both in the UK and Spain forThe Royal British Legion (RBL) dur-

ing the Poppy Appeal 2015.Locally there are numerous remem-

brance services where you can payyour respects. On Sunday November8, a church service takes place at the

TO its great embarrassment, Marks & Spencerhad to close down its website for two hours onOctober 27, after customers reported that theywere able to partially view other people’s detailswhen they accessed their accounts.

The company said no one’s financial detailswere compromised by what it called an ‘internal

technical problem’ which was quickly corrected,but apologised to customers for the inconveniencecaused.

This follows on from the hacking of TalkTalk,in which it was suspected that bank account num-bers and sort codes of customers may have beenaccessed although this proved not to be the case.

AFTER several years of de-bate, the EU has finally de-clared that roaming chargeson mobi le phones wi th inthe EU are to be scrapped,although there will be someaddi t ional cos ts for con-sumers in the per iod ofApril 2016 to June 2017.

The reason for this is thatthere wi l l be a s taged re-moval of charges so that onApril 30 2016, the only ad-ditional charge allowed willbe €0.05 per minute forcalls, €0.02 for each SMSsent and €0.05 permegabyte of data used.

On June 15, 2017 theseextra charges will be abol-ished and users within theEU wil l be charged thesame as they would be intheir home country. Accord-ing to EU calcula t ions ,roaming costs from April2016 wil l be up to 75 percent cheaper than they arenow.

IN a report sent by the EuropeanCommission to the Court of Justiceof the European Union, which isoverseeing a related case involvingCajaSur, the Commission has madeit clear that it considers a decisionmade by the Spanish SupremeCourt with regards to ‘floor claus-es’ in mortgages issued by Spanishbanks as being inherently wrong.

These clauses , which not a l lbanks have insis ted upon, set a‘floor ’ or minimum interest ratethat clients have to pay the bank,even if the benchmark rate – nor-mally considered to be the Euriborrate – drops below that figure.

The Spanish Supreme Court stat-ed that it considered the practice tobe abusive and instructed three

banks Abanca, BBVA, and Cajamarto return the difference to borrow-ers, but only backdated it to May2013.

However, the European Commis-sion disagrees with this date and

says that the refunds should extendall the way back to the first mort-gage payments that were affected,and i f a c lause is wrong, i t i swrong from the outset.

I t i s es t imated that there are

some 2.5 million mortgages with‘f loor c lauses’ in Spain and i fevery bank had to repay every pay-ment to its customers, then therewould be a loss of several billionEuros.

New rule on mortgage refunds

EUROPEAN COMMISSION: Brands a decision by the Spanish Supreme Court with regards to‘floor clauses’ as being inherently wrong.

SEPTEMBER was a much less volatilemonth for both Sterling and Euro afterfireworks in August. The pair has beenrange bound between 1.35 and 1.38 but weare now approaching the time where wewill likely see movement higher and backtowards 1.40.

European Central Bank (ECB) PresidentMario Draghi used October’s meeting ofthe ECB (now every six weeks rather thaneach month) to suggest that furthermeasures will be unleashed at December’smeeting.

The announcement by itself is bearish forthe Euro but Mr Draghi followed it up withthe revelation that a cut in the deposit ratewas discussed as one of the policy toolsalong with further Quantative Easing to tryand push inflation back towards the ECB’s2 per cent target. The double whammypushed the Euro almost three cents low

against the Pound and downwardmomentum in the single currency is verylikely to continue as we move towards thenext meeting.

As we stand we also still have a smallrisk of no action in December by the ECB,in which case we will see the Euro rebound.

We view this as unlikely due to the lengthsthe ECB went to to prepare the market thatadditional measures are coming andsuggests that at least one of the twooptions, a deposit rate cut or furtherQuantative Easing or maybe both will beannounced come December 2015.

Our forecast reflects our baselinescenario of further easing later this yearalong with the prospect of imminent rateincreases in the UK driving the pairtowards 1.45 by the middle of 2016,however there are some risks to this view.The pound since the ECB meeting hasridden higher on the coat tails of Euroweakness.

However, a move towards a UK rate riseis not a foregone conclusion with Bank ofEngland governor Mark Carney reflectingrecently those interest rates may notnecessarily need to go up.

Growth in the UK for the third quarterwas down from 0.7 per centon Quarter 2 to0.5 per cent and this has been blamed onthe slowdown in construction andmanufacturing.

In addition inflation remains subdued inthe UK. Ongoing economic data will bevery important in maintaining momentumfor the pound and the move towards a rateincrease.

The next three months will be crucial fordirection in GBP/EUR and as we stand thebias is to the upside.

Europe ready to add more stimulus

STERLING TO EURO: The pair has been range bound between 1.35 and 1.38.

AS residents of Spain are aware, inaddition to implementation of the Eu-ropean Savings Directive, Spain hasintroduced the Modelo 720 declara-tion requiring all assets held outsideof Spain over €50,000 by value invarious asset categories to be dis-closed.

While these measures now givethe tax authorities a good picture ofassets held outside the country byresidents of Spain, the USA, OECD,EU and many other countries will bemoving to a new higher transparencystandard of cross-border financialdisclosure starting in 2017.

The Common Reporting Standards(CRS) as drafted by the OECD arenow agreed and there is a group ofearly adopter countries includingSpain, UK (Channel Islands, Isle ofMan, Gibraltar, Malta) which will beimplementing this enhanced disclo-sure starting as early as September2017.

The financial information to be re-ported with respect to reportable ac-counts includes all types of invest-

ment income (including interest, div-idends, income from certain insur-ance contracts and other similar typesof income) but also account balancesand sales proceeds from financialassets.

The financial institutions that arerequired to report under the CRS donot only include banks and custodi-ans but also other financial institu-tions such as brokers, certain collec-tive investment vehicles and certain

insurance companies.Reportable accounts include ac-

counts held by individuals and enti-ties (which include trusts and founda-tions) and the standard includes arequirement to look through passiveentities to report on the individualsthat ultimately control these entities.

In practical terms almost all finan-cial assets wherever and howeverheld, which can be attributable to anindividual will become fully trans-

parent. Trusts, Swiss foundations andoffshore companies will have assetsfully reported.

Many issues will need to be re-solved and are likely to be dealt withby national laws as they are enacted.As this happens differences betweencommon law countries including UKand civil code countries includingSpain may result in unwanted out-comes for British expats here.

As one possible example, tax lawsalready enacted in France (anothercivil code country) if adopted inSpain, would give Spanish settlorsand potential beneficiaries of trustscause for concern.

The financial institutions will iden-tify country of tax residence, andwhere dual residency is possible,report to both countries. The detailrequired includes name, address, dateof birth, account number,balance/value, income and redemp-tion proceeds if sales have beenmade. Your tax identification numberwill also be disclosed.

In Spain the Modelo 720 declara-

tion requirement already coversmany of the disclosure requirementsbut when implemented trustees anddirectors of offshore companies andfinancial institutions will automati-cally disclose the value of trust, foun-dation and company assets, insurancepolicy investments, dividends, inter-est and the value of non-interest earn-ing cash deposits.

The CRS agreement will plug ob-vious gaps in the existing EUSD pro-visions and it is hoped will much de-crease tax evasion.

For those coming to and living inSpain, taking professional planningadvice has just become more impor-tant than ever. Recognised tax plan-ning structures will remain and witha 117-year tax-led financial planningpedigree The Fry Group will be help-ing clients to make key financialplanning decisions, legitimately miti-gating tax and ensuring their personallong term financial security.

A RECENT report states that over the next12 months, Europe can expect some twomillion immigrants to cross over from theMiddle East. Other reports have revealedthat random searching has shown that anumber of these people have been carryingISIS and Jihadist propaganda (includingpictures of beheadings). It would thereforebe utterly naïve to deny that a percentage ofthese people may well be extremist or eventerrorists.

So let’s just have a look at these figures.If one in every 500 (a number I considersomewhat optimistic) were terrorist affiliat-ed, that would mean that over the next fewmonths, some 4,000 more potential killerswill be let loose into Western society. Ithink it is also safe to assume that an evenlarger number have, or will soon have crim-inal intent, say one in every 200.

This would result in a further 10,000

criminals for our beleaguered law enforcersto deal with. It gets even worse. Othersources state that two million is a complete

underestimation of what the actual figurecould become. One says that the number ofimmigrants may well be limitless, conse-

quently over the next few years, millions of‘refugees’ could arrive on the shores of Eu-rope.

To my mind there is no doubt that unlessdrastic action is taken to rethink and reor-ganise our ‘open borders’ policy we can saygoodbye to Europe as we know it. What onearth are our so called leaders actuallythinking about? What sort of bubble dothey all live in? Do they not realise that ifthings continue as they are there will bebloodshed all across our hard won peacefullands?

When ordinary citizens realise that theirelected representatives are doing nothing tostop them losing all they love and cherish,they will have no choice but to take mattersinto their own hands. It will only take acouple of attacks perpetrated by these socalled refugees to ignite another war of thesame ilk as the Crusades. Only this time itwill be in our own back gardens. Is nobodylistening out there?

OPINION & COMMENT5 - 11 November 2015 / Axarquía - Costa Tropical www.euroweeklynews.comEWN32

I HAVE had a lovely long holiday outhere but was very surprised at the levelof serious discourse and informed dis-cussion on the imminent UK EUIn/Out vote. I write as my last chat withother Britons over a drink by the poolrather shocked me.

A British woman who holidays here(52 weeks a year) is keen to leave theEU as ‘the EU costs too much’ but ‘thevote won’t affect me as I live here’.

I had to explain that Britons are onlyhere because we are part of the EU; thatallows us to live here, work here, buyhouses here and to enjoy free children’seducation and pensioners’ healthcare.

Just before I left, on News 24 BBC, Iheard a round table discussion with apolitical economist who specialised inthe EU. He said that if, and I fully ac-cept it is an if, we in the UK vote toleave the EU, all Europeans in the UKwill lose the right to live/work/reside inthe UK and have to leave. Indeed, Do-minic Grieve, the former AttorneyGeneral, a pro-EU Tory MP, said re-cently that if Britain votes to leave theEU, two million Britons living abroadwill be ‘illegal immigrants’ overnight.

Britons living in Spain/working inSpain/owning houses will be technical-ly illegal immigrants. All the currentrights to medical treatment on a EHICcard, or pensioners’ right to free med-ical treatment or free education for chil-dren or the right to work or live or ownproperty in Spain, will go if we vote toleave the EU.

UK pensions paid in Spain may suf-fer the same fate as they did in Canadaor Australia; there is no annual in-crease, the amount is frozen at the start-ing amount!

The expert on the BBC suggestedthat as the Spanish government gain somuch income from the British it wouldbe unlikely that we would be expelled.However, just as David Cameron wantsto impose a Foreigners Tax in the UK,so the Spanish government would im-pose a Foreigners Tax on British peoplein Spain of €2,000 or €3,000 or€5,000 per person per year. The effectof that would be that some 30 to 40 percent of the British (only living on astate pension) would have to sell theirhouses as the tax would be too much topay. The effect of that would be another30 to 40 per cent decrease in Spanishhouse prices, which of course, as hesaid, helps the local Spanish who can-

not afford the house prices. The prob-lem will be, as I see it, when loads ofBritish people who have been unable tosell - even at knock-down, fire saleprices - return to the UK broke.

I fail to understand why so many ofthe British in Spain don’t understandthis possible set of events.

Indeed as I write, for the first timeever, YouGov, an opinion polling or-ganisation, showed a 2 per cent majori-ty to leave after months and months tostay in! The Guardian newspaper pollhas moved from 11 per cent stay in to 3per cent, with the trend moving to-wards leave. Britons living in the EUmust wake up, start to talk, educate andcampaign or they will pay dearly for it.

Benidorm deathRe: British man found dead in

Benidorm jail cell after being arrest-ed for being disorderly during anight outI AM resident some six miles fromBenidorm and a former ex-ScotlandYard senior officer who has headedmany murder investigations.

As a founder member of Sir RobertMark’s ‘untouchables’, the allegations,as reported by the deceased’s partner,give me grave cause for concern mostimportantly as to whether any represen-tatives of our consular services tooksteps to view the body of the deceasedin view of the allegations alleged tohave been made.

I have my doubts as to whether an

official from our Foreign and Com-monwealth Office visited and viewedthe body. Such action should have beenconsidered vital.

I believe we will soon be hearingmuch more about this matter.

All are equalRe: Better Banus security call

GIUSEPPE RUSSO: Paragraph 2: Hesaid: “Puerto Banus isn’t any old place,it’s an international brand and must betreated as such. You can’t treat PuertoBanus like any old district.”

Of course, Puerto Banus has its shareof crime and other social difficultiesand unsocial behaviour. However,

Guiseppe’s remarks smack of the ut-most arrogance. All citizens are entitledto the protection of the law. A penny toa poor man is as important as a poundto a rich man!

Whilst life is sadly unequal, it doesnot mean those less privileged shouldbe less privileged under the law!

John Farrington,Guadacorte (Cadiz)

Most liked itRe: ‘Bous al Mar’ event not popularTHIS is a somewhat misleading arti-cle.

I have seen the report and 50 percent of those who responded rated the‘Bous al Mar’ as very good or goodand a further 15 per cent rated it as ac-ceptable. So, far from the residents ofXàbia showing their general disap-proval, two-thirds actually showed theirapproval of the event.

Also, the other fiestas in Xàbia havenot yet been rated by the residents. TheFogueres de Sant Joan will be the nextin a few weeks.

Brave CorbynRe: Saudi Arabia’s ambassador

wants more respect from BritainCONTRARY to your comment, an in-creasing number of the public do, infact, support the refreshingly sane opin-ions of Jeremy Corbyn. Saudi Arabiahas one of the worst human rightsrecords on the planet. The UK is up toits neck in collusion with this regimefor the most venal of motivations.Greed. Arms sales. Oil. The hypocrisyof the Tory and ‘New Labour’ parties isbreathtaking. Jeremy Corbyn is to becongratulated for having the courage tostand up to these people.

YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE - YOUR OPINION

Re: RugbyTHE thing about rugger is that decisions are justified or unjustified, there and then [albeit, it ap-pears to take ages] via the old TV ref. The three football referees during some matches, have be-tween them made horrendous decisions, and determined the final result. Because of their arro-

gance, and ‘the referee’s decision is always final’ rule, you will never see them publicly apologise and saysomething like: “Sorry, I messed up and your team has been relegated, or missed out on promotion.” But this isnot an excuse for mob-handling of and abuse towards the referee, and like the professional ‘cheats’ in the game,when proved, should be banned from playing for at least one season. Not going to happen, though, is it?

WHEN I was knee high to a RomanCandle, bonfire night as we called it,was second only to Christmas as themost eagerly anticipated festivity of theyear. And as all Brits know, GuyFawkes Night to give it its proper title,is an English custom commemoratingthe failed gunpowder plot of 1605.

We kids would assemble a guy weeksin advance, stuffing some of dad’s oldclothes with newspaper then paradingthe finished article round the streets onsoapbox carts or old prams, chanting‘penny for the guy.’

It was always highly competitive be-cause the best dummy would collect themost money and consequently on oneoccasion we thought it might be a goodwheeze to dress one of us in old togsand a papier mâché mask.

We paraded him around before hegave the game away by breaking wind

loudly as we were fleecing the congre-gation leaving the local church. Ourcover had been blown.

Proceeds from this were spent onfireworks for the big night. These wereadded to the horde which grew quicklyover three or four weeks during whichtime dad would bring a few home on hisway back from work most nights, al-ways wrapped in newspaper.

There were boxed fireworks avail-able, but it was more fun to buy themindividually and to people of my gener-ation names such as Brocks, Wessex,Astra, Rainbow, Benwell, and Paine’sare still synonymous with those times.

There were relatively few communityevents, because just about every house-hold where there were children wouldhave its own display and bonfire in theback garden, complete with stuffed guy.The cries of delight from us kids, anddad’s exclamation once of “That’s mybleeding jacket!” filled the smokey air.

And because safety consciousnesswas drilled into us from an early age,there were very few reported acci-dents. Health and safety was al-ways more secure in the hands ofresponsible individuals than abunch of brain dead bureaucrats.

ONE doesn’t need a degree in eco-nomics to predict that the West can-not prevail. Anyone with the abilityto run a whelk stall knows a busi-ness collapses when badly run andparasites plunder its assets. Thestreetwise have already startedthinking banking sector. Well spot-ted.

There are exceptions of course inwhich case Iceland comes to mind.There, the 26th banker has just re-ceived a lengthy prison sentencehaving been found guilty for hispart in bringing about the 2008 eco-nomic collapse.

Greed is often a far more power-ful drug than the survival instinct.We often see a small time companyembezzler nabbed because theycouldn’t stop. Bankers are no dif-ferent; they are simply more sophis-ticated when it comes to playingwith high stakes. Believe me, thepercentage of crooks in the City of

London and Wall Street is higherthan the percentage of genuinely

guilty men in prisons.In principle there is nothing

wrong with the economic potentialof any Western nation. However,many such nations face tough timesbecause politicians, in the pocketsof the banking elite, are as bent as adog’s back leg.

The Ukraine, Europe’s largestcountry, has far more going for itthan Iceland does. The oligarchs, to-day all of them Western rogues, aresucking the life out of that economy.The result is the Ukrainians are nowamong the most poverty stricken inthe world. Iceland lacks such re-sources, yet is one of the world’smost successful economies.

Iceland’s economy went awry in2008 as did that of Britain, the USand the EU. I told you there is noneed for a degree in economics togo figure. In much of the West,politicians use taxpayer’s money toreward mismanagement and blatantfraud in the banking sector.

Iceland, on the other hand, detect-ed the reason for their economiccollapse. The arrest warrants wereissued and banking executives ar-rested for fraud and market manipu-lation. The sentences range fromfour to five years. Get the picture?The bankers did and it can be seenon their mugshots.

Bonfire night memoriesREMEMBER remember the 5th of November

WHEN Elvis Presley firststarted shaking his leg andsneering, the girls screamedand the boys copied his hair-cut whilst in England a gener-ation of ‘rockers’ kept bryl-creem in business.

With the arrival of the‘moptops’ and the Stones,men’s hair got longer andlonger and then morphed intothe mohican and similarspiked styles.

During that period, hairfashion was mainly driven bymusic and as many big bandshave grown older, their hairhas become shorter either be-cause it is easier to manage orbecause it falls out.

Now we see the phenome-non of the footballer’s hair-cuts influencing new genera-tions of young men and evenvery young children.

Just 20 years ago JasonLee, who played for Notting-ham Forest at the time, wasthe butt of jokes from thestars of the Fantasy FootballLeague programme. Comedi-ans David Baddiel and FrankSkinner said he had a pineap-ple on his head as he wore hisRasta braids tied up.

Nowadays, however foot-ballers seem to strive to outdoeach with the most ridiculoushairstyles possible. Some areshort with stripes, there areafros, blonde braids, and a va-riety of colours and shapes.

It is an interesting com-ment on the way society hasviewed its heroes over thepast 50 years and to some ex-tent, how the influx of immi-grants from Africa, the Mid-dle East and West Indies musthave influenced appearances.

ANOTHER beautiful morning as Iwalk up Calle Granada to the soundof Nerja starting its day.

The hustle and bustle of parentsrushing children into school and thegreengrocers setting up shop neatlylining up their crates of fruit andveg.

As I patiently wait for the shutterto rise, the sun warms my back andmy eyes struggle with brightness re-flecting tenfold from the white-washed buildings. And there it is, amoment I enjoy every morning, thestrong aroma hits you as soon as youopen the doors to the Nerja BookCentre - second-hand books. A com-bination of books stacked neatly onthe shelves and some strewn on thefloor emphasising how much thisshop is bursting at the seams withstock. Some looking like they havehardly been read at all whilst otherslay proudly bearing creases downtheir spine, a symbol that someone

enjoyed them again and again. First customer in, returning ‘The

Sun Also Rises’ by Ernest Heming-way and leaving quite pleased withhimself clutching a copy of ‘SouthFrom Granada’ by Gerald Brenan, I

knew that wouldn’t hang aroundlong! A steady flow of action-seek-ing readers that just can’t get enoughof these fast-paced thrillers, addictedto the likes of Lee Child and JamesPatterson. This is where to be if you

eat, sleep and read as a way of life.Each book, eager to jump off theshelf and back into the grip of a per-son for the chance to flutter its pageslike the wings of a swallow, sharingits contents in a way that your mind

and the words perform a beautifullychoreographed dance together. Thatsatisfaction of slowly building upthe pages into the left hand as youare devouring the story, often notwanting it to end.

We get all types of books comingin and going out from the classics ofT. S. Elliott and T. Hardy to the spir-itual guides of Osho, and this is whywe meet such interesting peoplefrom all walks of life feeding theirneed to read. Those that can easilypass hours in here browsing, hencewhy we have two leather chairs tact-fully placed in the History/War andPoetry section.

After selling a handful of bargainbooks at 90 cents, the day is drawingto an end; the locals and visitors ofNerja slowly returning to their hum-ble abodes and the street cats finallytaking back control of the orange-litalleys.

Viva Nerja and its bookwormsbecause without them, we wouldn’tbe The Nerja Book Centre!

WHERE flavours, creativity and beauty go hand in handMANY people dream about movingabroad. Many of us expats livinghere in sunny Spain have dared totake that step and give that dream ashot.

Fredrik and Kim Kullberg movedto Spain in October 2012, with theirfive children and four cats, after aleap over to Krabi and Ao Nang,Thailand, between the years 2004and 2007. They found their way toNerja in February of 2013, after hav-ing all their plans of running a littlerural hotel in Almeria spoilt at thelast minute.

But with the experience they hadof living abroad, they knew not topanic and to just sit down and have athink about what to do instead.

Fusion Food and Lounge is therestaurant they set up together. Thedoors opened for the first time onFriday, July 13, 2013. Fredrik maystill look quite young, but he is nobeginner in the kitchen. He startedout his career in the middle of the1990s at Stockholm’s Globe Hoteland Restaurant School. He was apromising student from the start andgot to do his training, back then, inStockholm’s two best restaurants,

each with one-star ratings in theprestigious Guide Michelin, KB(Konstnärs Baren) and Wedholmsfisk. He got the chance to continueworking alongside his education atKB and didn’t hesitate to take thatopportunity. After finishing threeyears of study, he was offered a job

at KB and worked there until it wastime for him to do his navy service.

After that, he worked in numer-ous, renowned restaurants in Stock-holm. He was head-hunted by one ofthe co-owners (Swedish football star,Tomas Brolin) of the Undici Restau-rant when he was opening it in 2000.

Fredrik stayed on there as the souchef until 2004, when the couple de-cided to move to Thailand with theirthree girls. In 2006, he was asked byMikael Ljunggren to come back andtake over the kitchen in his restau-rant ‘Ljunggrens’. Fredrik hand-picked his own staff and the restau-

rant quickliy became a hotspot forStockholmers with its modern,slick Asian-styled food.

Fusion Food and Lounge hasbeen open for a little over two years.The food is an international blend ofthe various kitchens Fredrik hasworked in throughout the years.When they opened the restaurant,Fredrik didn’t want to be bound toone style of cooking. The focus is,instead, on the quality of the prod-ucts used to create the food.

Fredrik always makes sure that hesources only the freshest and best-quality produce for his dishes. Thewinelist, which is constantly moni-tored and upgraded, consists of onlySpanish wines. For them there is noneed to take in wines from othercountries when Spain can providethem with such a variety of highquality and intresting wines.

Why not try a taste of the exoticand wonderful, and book your tableat Fusion Food and Lounge?

BIORESONANCE therapy canhelp you put your smoking habitbehind you for good. It has beenfeatured on BBC News 24 and theRichard & Judy Show and has a 90per cent success rate. It is complete-ly safe and harmless and the thera-py has nothing to do with eitherhypnosis or acupuncture.

Terry, the therapist and proprietorof ‘Stop Smoking In Spain’ has re-cently taken over the running of theBioresonance clinic. Based righthere on the Costa del Sol, they’vebeen around now for more than 9years and in that time have helpedliterally thousands to kick the habit,FOR GOOD!

Richard and Judy were amazedwith the results when they spoke toone heavy smoker who found suc-

cess with Bioresonance after threeyears of attempting to quit. He de-scribed the experience as totallydifferent to any other method andsaid that the addiction was simplyswitched off.

This is one of the most remark-

able things about the process. Thecravings leave and you are freefrom any connection with the ad-diction. The therapy is reported tobe used by the Russian military be-cause of its success rate and hasgiven smokers around the world a

new lease of life.So how does Bioresonance com-

pare with other smoking cessationtreatments?

Richard and Judy quoted a 7 percent success rate with nicotinepatches and gum.

Acupuncture and hypnosis havebeen known to produce a 30 percent success rate.

Smoking cessation clinics haveshown a 15 per cent success rate.

Going ‘cold turkey’ has about a 3per cent success rate.

Stop smoking for good withoutwithdrawal symptoms

I AM taking a week’s holidayin the UK, which means thatmy BuddyFit group are beingleft to their own devices. I aminterested to see what they willdo with regards to their dailyexercise.

Amusingly, I have a What-sApp BuddyFit Group chat setup and I am viewing the mes-sages they are sending whilst Iam away. I am not sure if theyknow I can see that they are go-ing for runs together on the

paseo and arranging to keep ex-ercise going amongst them. Ican also see who is duckingout! This support is crucial. Ihave found that training peoplein a small group can have a ma-jor advantage over 1-1 training.

• People like to be aroundothers aspiring to the samegoals.

• They are less likely to misstheir class sessions.

• They are less likely to sabo-tage themselves when they seeothers are doing well

Whilst I am in the UK, I amcatching up with past clientswho have become friends. I leftthem over a year ago after train-ing some for over six years. Idid 1-1 training with them. The

only support they had was MEas their trainer. Some of themhave taken the bull by the hornsand have gone on to do variousfitness events. Others have fall-en back and found it harder tokeep up the commitment with-out the push from me.

I know that if I had theseclients training together theywould be more likely to getback on track and succeed.

DEAR Doctor,I’m a 50-year-old womanwho has just been diag-nosed with Type 2 dia-betes. I’m a little over-weight but have nevereaten many sweets. Can Ido anything to fix it orwill I need insulin?

Dear patient,Diabetes is a chronic ill-

ness which overweight andobese people are more like-ly to develop, regardless ofhow many sweets or cakesthey eat. Usually it can bekept under control withpills, daily exercise and dietand insulin is kept for themost severe cases.

-So will I be on a dietfor the rest of my life?

-Yes. You will have tolearn to follow a balanceddiet as this is an importantpart of treating diabetes.

-Will I have to stopdrinking alcohol too?

-You can drink twoglasses of beer or wine(preferably red) are fine butstronger drinks should beleft for special occasions.

-I’ve heard it’s heredi-tary. Will my kids get it ?

-There is an inheritedgenetic predisposition, yetweight is a more importantfactor. It’s rare for peoplewho aren’t overweight to

develop this type of dia-betes.

-I’ve heard diabetescan lead to other healthproblems. What are theyand how can I avoidthem?

-Type 2 diabetes is achronic illness which cancause inflammation of thearteries leading to eyesightand kidney problems, affectnerves and increase the riskof heart attacks and strokes.Reduce these risks by keep-ing up treatments, diet andexercise to control your di-abetes.

If you feel something isamiss consult your special-ist in internal medicine.

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte.

MULTIOPTICAS Hernandezstarted its activity in 1989 andsince then have been the centresof reference in the Nerja area.

The team is coordinated bythe opticians and optometristsLuis Felipe and Rafael Hernan-dez Garcia, qualified specialistsfor the exploration of the eyeand the visual system, as well asthe rehabilitation of the condi-tions that affect you, evaluatingthe visual ametropias and the vi-sion quality of the patient.

Likewise Multiopticas Her-nandez seeks the detection ofeye diseases, referring the pa-tient to the right specialist whennecessary. The sales and cus-tomer care team completes thestaff. Following the latest fash-ion trends, Multiopticas Her-nandez has the largest and mostvaried showroom of eyeglassesand sunglasses of the Axarquiaarea and offers high-end brandslike RayBan, Hugo Boss, Dior,Porsche, Prada, Oakley, Chanel,and Vogue.

Here are six easy tips for agood eye health:

1. Check your eyesight oncea year.

Going to your optometristevery year is one of the best

ways to look after our eyes. Re-member that most of the ocularand visual problems have reme-dy if the diagnosis is done early.

2. Use sunglasses all year. UV rays affect us throughout

the year, wear away the eyesightand generate problems such ascataracts, retinal burns and otherdiseases. The use of approvedsunglasses and UV protectionprotects our eyes against radia-tion.

3. Make good use of digitaldevices.

Every 20 minutes or so, peek

out the window or look some-place else for 20 seconds tochange the focus of the eyes.Adjust the screen resolution andavoid an intense contrast.

4. Hydrate your eyes.Like the skin your eyes also

need hydration. To do this wehave the artificial tears, veryuseful in cases of dry eyes, al-lergy or small foreign bodies.

5. Eat healthy.The Lutein and the zeaxan-

thin are two main carotenoidsthat are found in the blind spotand the retina. Foods rich in

these substances protect againstmacular degeneration and helpfilter out UV rays. The Lutein isfound in kiwi, red grapes orcourgette. The Zeaxanthin isfound in oranges, melon, andmango. In combination, in theegg yolk and the corn too. Othervery beneficial foods are carrotsand milk (vitamin A), nuts, andsalmon (vitamin E). They pre-vent the risk of infections.

6. Look after your glassesand contact lenses

A damaged lens may put ex-tra stress on your eyesight.

THE General Council of Real EstateAgents of Spain (COAPI) has put to-gether 10 proposals they believe willkeep Spain from another propertybubble:

1. More transparency for con-sumers. With the right regulations inplace to inform and prepare homebuyers more thoughtful and informeddecisions can be made.

2. Financial transparency. Moreregulations called for, especially inthe mortgage market, to ensure thesame type of lending isn’t repeated.

3. Mortgage valuations. The ap-praisal companies and lenders shouldbe separate and independent of oneanother in order to achieve accuracyin valuations for mortgage lending.

4. A register of property profes-sionals. Anyone involved in the prop-

erty sector should have to be a part ofa professional register with require-

ments like professional training andindemnity insurance.

5. Political party housing mani-festos. The call is for all political

parties to simplify their housing poli-cies and give greater clarity to peoplebefore they vote.

6. Special protection. Housingwould be declared a market of publicinterest, thereby making it subject tospecial protection and vigilance.

7. Asymmetric information. Regu-lation to lessen the asymmetry of in-formation facing house-huntersshould be implemented.

8. Fiscal coherence. Progressivetaxes should support the social func-tion of housing.

9. Professional bodies. Thesewould have to be regulated for thebenefit of consumers. The sugges-tions include codes of conducts and asystem of penalties.

10. Official certification. Profes-sional accreditation should be neces-sary for any individual or companywho operates in the sector with oblig-atory professional standards.

City living can be a greatalternative for expats

WORTH CONSIDERING: Cities offer a vast range of traditional Spanish cultures.

THE Chinese look willing to invest heavilyin the UK, according to the latest businessnews from Britain, but there doesn’t seem tohave been much interest in the Spanish prop-erty market of late… not since the recession,in fact. Or is there?

Reports from the property portalJuwai.com tell a different story.

Apparently this has all changed in the lastyear as the report published stated that Spainis now the second most attractive Mediter-ranean country for Chinese investors wanti-ng to pour money into the country and pur-chase property in this area of theMediterranean.

It went on to say that interest in investingmoney into Spanish real estate has soared by

a massive 392 per cent in less than a year.If this is true, it would mean that Spain

is now the number two country within theMediterranean region that Chinese in-vestors are considering when buyingproperty, second only to Cyprus.

The study points to the dramatic dropin property prices around the Mediterraneanas the main factor for the drastic rise in de-mand by the Chinese.

This is also enhanced by the stability inthe European markets, the increased wealthof Chinese citizens and the ‘Golden Visa’programme in a number of European coun-tries, whereby residency or temporary resi-dency is exchanged for an investment intoproperty.

MOST British and Irish people living in Spainnever think of city living. For some, the citiesoffer a different way of life than traditional ex-pat areas such as the Costas.

Taking Malaga as an example, a EuropeanUnion’s Perception Survey from 2012 showedthat 96 per cent of residents were happy livingin the city.

Although the survey was published in 2012,it suggests that Spanish cities could be wellworth considering as places to live for expatri-ates.

Cities offer better transport, more employ-

ment opportunities, more shops, universitiesand much more. They also offer a vast range oftraditional Spanish cultures.

So why do many expats avoid them, choos-ing to live along the coast or in other rural ar-eas?

They argue that one obvious reason for thosenot speaking Spanish is the language difficulty.With fewer English-speakers around, ‘fitting in’is far harder. Along the Costas, socialising canbe just like back at home, with plenty of fellowEnglish-speakers and British and Irish-ownedbars to visit.

ALREADY ground-breaking in theirmethod of policing the roads from theair, the DGT has contracted a Spanishcompany to create an Unmanned AerialVehicle, or ‘drone,’ to monitor traffic.

With many of their helicopters alreadyfitted with the pinpoint accurate Pegasusradar system, the DGT already use theireyes in the sky for speed detection aswell as traffic flow and this latest devel-opment could revolutionise the skiesonce again.

However, the current legislation doesnot allow for the use of drones to moni-tor traffic, as the pilot of the drone has tobe able to maintain visual contact withthe aircraft, and so monitoring could on-ly be done on a local level.

That said, it is intended that the firstprototypes will take to the air in the

summer of 2016, equipped with a cam-era to go about monitoring the conven-tional road network.

There are numerous benefits to usinga drone; it is much cheaper to fly than aconventional aircraft and offers a fasterresponse. In addition to monitoring traf-fic flow, it is hoped that they could beused in emergency and incident re-sponse, following exceptional loads,fault detection and (eventually) enforce-ment.

Drones are already in use by numer-ous police forces around the globe, oftenfor monitoring purposes, and in Americathere was a public outcry in 2013 whenCalifornia’s highways suddenly sawwarning signs about law enforcement bydrones, although on this occasion it waspart of an art project and not real.

No, i t is not toolate to protest .

The law says that thosemembers who were notpresent at the AGM have90 days from the t imethey receive the Minutesto protest a decision.

The law does not speci-fy a time limit for sending

out the Minutes, but it re-quires the President andSecretary to produce

them and sign them with-in 10 days of the meeting.A delay of months is notmerely unacceptable, it isoutrageous.

It is also dangerous, asdecisions may be put intoeffect before those notpresent are even aware ofit.

The AGM of our communitytook place last April. I was un-

able to attend. Now, more than sevenmonths later, I have still not received acopy of the Minutes of the meeting. Iask the administrator when I will get

them and he casually replied that theyare coming. Is there any time limit forthe AGM Minutes to be sent out? Ifsomething happened at the meetingthat I am not happy with, is it now toolate for me to object?

OK this week there are a couple of randomthings that need sorting out. Let’s start withalteration charges.

I go to buy a suit. I look in the windowand there it is - the very item of apparel I’mlooking for. I go in the store and try it on.Now it’s not a cheap suit. In fact it’s very ex-pensive. Well I think it is anyway.

The trousers and sleeves are too long but Isay ‘OK I’ll take it’ and the salesman saysfine that will be €xxx and €40 for the alter-ation. Woah pal what? I’m not paying €40for the alterations! Why would I want to pay€xxx for a suit that doesn’t fit me? If youwant me to buy that suit you have to make itfit me. It’s not my problem, it’s yours.

Now I know that there is massive profitmargin in the top end of menswear and itwould be common sense to take into accountthat very few people are a perfect match fortheir suit sizes, so just work the alteration

price into the suit price. It is different if youare buying something that is in a sale and has60 per cent discount, but at full price not achance of me paying one penny more thanthe ticket price.

Changing the subject – what on earth hashappened to product labelling? Do they thinkwe are all raving bonkers? Here are some Ihave seen:

On a box of eggs: ‘Allergy advice: thisproduct contains eggs.’ Err really?

On a fancy dress superman outfit: ‘wearingthis outfit does not enable you to fly.’ Honest-ly, I’m not making this up.

On a packet of peanuts: ‘Warning: thisproduct contains nuts’.

Please don’t laugh! It drives me crazy!Why do they do it? How about this?

Heinz Ketchup instructions: ‘Put on food.’How could I have ever worked that out onmy own?

Shampoo bottle: ‘Do not shampoo youreyes.’ And this on a bottle of aspirin: ‘Do nottake if you are allergic to aspirin.’

I would love to know why they put thesemost obvious warnings. Is there a govern-ment office for this? Or is it left to the legaldepartment to cover themselves? Whoever itis you may all be idiots, but we aren’t.

DECIDING what plant to plantwhere, next to what, is a keypart of the process of what wecall painting with plants in achapter of the book ‘YourGarden in Spain.’

There are various benefits ofclose co-planting several plantsof the same variety and colour.‘Just three blocks of threevarieties of sages give acolourful autumn display’.CREATING A MASS OFCOLOUR

Annuals, perennials andshrubs look much better whenseveral plants of the samevariety and colour are groupedcompared to mixing individualplants of various varieties andcolour. This is especially usefulin large gardens where adjacentlarge blocks of differently

coloured plants can be seenfrom a distance. The idea alsoworks in small gardens. GROUND COVER

Plant five versus one groundcover plant say 20 centimetresapart and you will soon have asizeable solid block of foliage

preventing the growth of weedsand acting as a live mulch toshade the tops of root balls andreduce the evaporation ofmoisture even in the hottestsummer months.SCENTED BEDS

An area of several square

metres of scented lavender willcreate a much more noticeablearoma therapeutic effect thanjust an individual plant in amixed bed. STIMULATING TALL PLANTS

Many readers will have seencopses of tall straight growingtrees with attractive flowers ontop. These are Paulownia treesbeing grown for the wood pelletindustry. They are planted justfour metres apart to stimulatestraight fast growth. Side shootsare pruned off when they areyoung. Harvesting of the trunksis done every three to five yearsand the stumps grow rapidlyagain for the next harvest.

These trees are becoming aprofitable crop for manyfamilies. who had abandonedtheir vegetable and fruitgrowing lands.WIND BREAKS

Boundary and internalhedges can be wonderfulwindbreaks if plants are planted

just 25 centimetres versus 50centimetres apart. If plantedfurther apart they leave gaps

through which winds canaccelerate and damage smallerplants inside the hedges.

AT one time fish was thought to be a major causeof skin disease in cats. Now we have all come torealise that the flea is the main culprit when itcomes to skin irritation in cats and dogs.

However, not many pet owners are aware thatour pets suffer food allergies which can cause der-matological discomfort. In fact, according toNigel Taylor the Express vet, 1 per cent of all skinproblems in cats and dogs are caused by dietaryallergies. Allergic reactions may be triggered inminutes, hours or days. Once an allergy to a pro-tein is established, sensitivity is often lifelong.

Dogs are mostly sensitive to beef and milk,

while cats often do not get on with beef, milk orfish. Some dogs can digest the lactose in cow’smilk. Give a pet dog or cat milk and the undigest-ed lactose provokes an upset stomach in no time.This is not a true allergy but demonstrates howsensitive to certain foods pets can be. Stop themilk and your pet’s life will look up immediately.

Most pets will react in some way to incorrectfeeding and apart from allergic reactions one canexpect flatulence, inconsistent stool quality andlarge smelly motions. Incorrect feeding can causefailure to put on weight and certainly if the bal-ance of the food is not correct a display of hyper-activity or indeed low activity can result.

Most animals can be assessed by their coat andskin vitality. There is always a possibility that theprotein is being utilised for energy with a subse-quent loss of health and vitality.

Ritualistic scratching and licking could well in-dicate that there is an allergic reaction to the foodand the eating of grass, twigs and roots sometimesis an indication that the food is not being digestedproperly. Tissue stealing and fibre based destruc-tion could be another indication that there is acraving for fibre to help the digestive process.

Milk not good for dogs UNDIGESTED lactose provokes an upset stomach in no time

THE market launch of the newMini Convertible with its threeengine variants sees the latestedition of this iconic car contin-ue to lead the small car market.

Akin to Doctor Who fromthe BBC sci-fi series, this icon-ic slice of British history has

been reincarnated many times,and now bears little resem-blance to the original from the1960s… or does it?

Even though the latest ver-sion is a technical marvel withfeatures like a power roof, elec-tric windows, LED light clus-

ters, neon beams, TwinPowerTurbo Technology, SteptronicPower transmission, StabilityControl and Dynamic Traction,rear view camera and Intelli-gent Emergency Call, it still hasits lovable qualities and you canstill see it’s a Mini.

Unlike the original though,the open-top driving fun withfour seats combined with opti-mised qualities in terms ofsportiness, efficiency, comfort,functionality, safety, connectivi-ty and quality of both materialsand workmanship, is a credit toBMW, and unlike anything ex-perienced in the old Morris.

The up-to-date interpretationof the classic Mini with designfeatures like circular headlamps

and rear lights with chrome sur-rounds, centre clocks, hexago-nal radiator grille, black periph-eral body surround andindicator elements have beenkept. But in comparison to theoriginal Mini the interior spaceof the new generation truly is aTardis.

Squeezing more than fourpeople into an old 1960s’ Miniwas quite a task. However, thelatest model is larger with in-creased dimensions over theprevious model by 98mm inlength, 44mm in width and1mm in height; it also has alonger wheelbase (extended28mm) and a larger track width(by 42 mm at the front, and 34mm at the rear).

BMW Motorrad has designed a smart-phone cradle able to ‘grasp firmly,’ smart-phones quickly and safely. They tell us thatthe handlebar clamp is designed for opti-mum rider visibility in the centre position,in either horizontal or upright format.

Fixed in a robust hard plastic case, thesmartphone is protected against dust andwater, but offers full usability too, thanks toa flex foil see-through vision panel. Powersupply is connected via the onboard socket

which requires a separate accessory, butcharges through a micro-USB or, if avail-able, the wireless connection, (according toQi standards.)
