Dear ReadersI would like to firstly say "Thank you" to all of the

readers and business clients who came along

to see us at the news desk in the Indoor Market

for our birthday event last week. I was very sur-

prised at how many people popped by. It was

also great to see the ladies from the other local

newspapers and media companies (who we are

always pleased to see and chat with), I think it

was the free cup cakes and bubbly that got

them to drop by... anyway it was a great day

and very successful for our partners at

TELITEC, who opened their shop and contact

centre with us on the same day.

For any readers who need advice and informa-

tion for Internet, British and Norwegian TV sys-

tems and phone services both land line and

mobile, then please pop in any time to see us at

the Indoor Market aisle 6. For all Christmas gifts

(mobiles, tablets & Internet gadgets) purchased

from us, we will offer a free gift wrapping serv-

ice.

The emphasis for the Weekly Buzz is all about

Christmas and for this week and each week

until the festivities start. Why not take a look

around the Indoor Market and get some great

Christmas gifts ideas, you can even order your

Christmas Turkey, buy sweets and Christmas

cards, all under one roof. The Indoor Market

has so much to offer... you can also choose

from a number of cafe bars, and relax with a

smooth tasting coffee, or a glass of beer!!

As it is just less than four weeks before

Christmas Eve, the shopping days are actually

dwindling faster than we realise. We have lots

of Christmas ideas and bargains, as well as

some great cooking ideas and recipes making

your Christmas in Spain even more exciting

tainment for the festive period.

326th - 2nd December 2014 News

From Front Page... According

to a report on Spanish website El

Confidencial, Britain’s BT Group

could offer at least €6 billion to

Spanish peer Telefonica on top of a

20 per cent stake in its share capital

for the O2 mobile network. Including

the €6 billion, the total value of the

deal would be around €14 billion,

less than the £18 billion Telefonica

paid to buy O2 in 2005. Initially BT

and Telefonica declined to comment

on the speculation, however

Telefonica have now spoken about

the rumours, although BT still have

made no comment.

“Telefonica states that although con-

versations with British Telecom are

taking place, these are at a highly

preliminary stage and there can be

no certainty that any transaction may

occur with such company,” said the

statement. “A further announcement

will be made if and when appropri-

ate.”

BT confirmed the talks and said it

had been approached by O2 and

another operator about acquiring

their mobile business. Orange chief

executive

o f f i c e r

Stephane

R i c h a r d

said last

week that

the current

ownership

m o d e l ,

w h e r e

O r a n g e

a n d

Deutsche

Te l e c o m

own half

the busi-

ness each,

was “unsustainable”.

The deal would give Telefonica a

foothold in the fixed-line, broadband

and TV markets while BT, which

recently signed an MVNO agreement

with EE, would acquire a mobile cus-

tomer base of more than 24 million.

BT, which also owns a slice of 4G

spectrum, is expected to launch its

consumer mobile offering in the first

half of next year. It will be the first

time it has offered the service since

selling BT Cellnet to Telefonica in

2005 in a deal with £18 billion.

O2 exited the fixed-line and broad-

band market in May 2013 through

the sale of its 500,000 strong cus-

tomer base to Sky for £200 million.

However, since then EE has added a

set-top box service to its mobile,

fixed-line and broadband offering

and Vodafone announced earlier this

month it was re-entering the con-

sumer broadband market it left in

2011. Virgin Media also offers TV,

broadband, fixed-line and mobile

services to its customer base.

That leaves O2 and Three as the

only two mobile operators who cur-

rently focus solely on their core busi-

ness.

There has been no comment from

BT or O2 on the matter with a

spokesperson for the mobile opera-

tor saying they “do not comment on

rumour or speculation”.

neW police station

needed For BenidorMAn announcement was made at the meet-

ing of the Madrid’s governments sub dele-

gate to Alicante Alberto Martinez, the

provincial Police Commissioner Jose

Javier Cuasante and Benidorm’s Mayor

Agustin Navarro, that a new National

Police Headquarters is needed in

Benidorm.

The location will be decided upon in the

next few days by the Ministry of the

Interior. The Town Hall has suggested

three different municipal land plots close

to the Palacio de Justicia Law Courts.

Navarro said “as happens with all admin-

istrations there is an allocation for non-

specific projects, that could be used if the

government is willing”. He went on the say

“having waited so long for the police sta-

tion, the important thing is to do things

properly. If there are no 2015 funds, it will

have to be in 2016 but now that things are

all tied up it won’t be a problem”.

survey reveals sexual

activities at airportsPassengers travelling to Spanish

Airports including Alicante Airport, com-

pleted JetCost surveys online, 32% were

ecstatic at the thought of going on holi-

day, 10% revealed that they had sexual

relations whilst at the airport, VIP lounge

toilets being favourite place, 27% found

it more exciting at the thought of being

caught, which apparently happened

12% of the time.

Passengers generally get to the airport 4

hours early to enjoy the various facilities,

shopping, eating, and drinking.

paternity leave

extension rejectedThe Government has decided against

extending paid paternity leave from two

weeks to four, because of a lack of funds.

The change was proposed in a private

members bill in August by Lourdes Ciuro,

an MP for Catalunya’s CiU separatist

party, but was rejected by the Minister for

Health, Social Services and Equality, Ana

Mato.

Although Mato said it would cost the state

€245 million a year, Ciuro countered that

the money could be sourced from

unclaimed maternity and paternity bene-

fits from 2013 while pointing out that just

0,057% of the social security budget

would pay for the extension.

Mato said: “The government has made

the utmost effort over the last three years

to overcome the terrible economic situa-

tion that we find ourselves in. Men receive

just 15 days paid leave in Spain while

women can take up to 112, which makes

Spain 8th in the EU paternity rankings.

526th - 2nd December 2014 News

WaYne PUtS on another biG ShoW More than 100 of the local children of EMAUS came

along on Saturday 22nd to the Showboat in Benidorm for

their annual Christmas event something special for the

children that is probably the best day of the year and that

they can look forward to all year. The children in care at

EMAUS have been abandoned or orphaned and

others that are handicapped or taken away

from their parents for protection. In all

cases the circumstances are very sad

and most of us do not see how much

these children have to rely on charity

and on the very kind careers who

work voluntarily in most cases.

Christmas is a time for everyone to

enjoy and help each other, the huge

efforts from Wayne and his team to

make this day special for the children are

really amazing. The fund raising started

weeks ago with many local bars and businesses

collecting gifts and donations. Each child receives a

Christmas stocking filled with gifts as well as 10€ in a

card. The day at the Showboat is Wayne's favourite day

of the year and, together with his helpers the staff of the

showboat, he really does put on a show and a wonderful

Christmas lunch for everyone. General Manager Javi

who is Father Christmas, hands out the Christmas

Stockings and the staff entertain the children for the

afternoon. Many of the fund raisers were present, as well

as the founder of EMAUS together with the directors and

management.

I was able to talk to most of them, as well as keeping

Wayne away from his duties as a Christmas Tree, and

Paul (the owner of Foleys bar in the Rincon) who were

both able to spend the time to explain to me how they

had been able once again to provide the funds to make

such a difference to the lives of the children. Paul

explained how the holidaymakers and residents have

donated money and gifts. Paul has been working with

Wayne organising and collecting from all of the wonderful

fundraisers. Wayne also explained how they have man-

aged to buy each home a turkey, to be delivered for

Christmas, and also the team has 900€ left to pay

towards the purchase of much needed new bedding

items for each child. The fundraising will continue until

the funds are enough to buy all of the bedding that is

needed. Paul has organised another fund raising

event for this coming week - a charity golf day

with the Benidorm Golf Society that takes

place at the Villaitana Golf resort, where

people can enjoy the day with events

including a raffle and nearest the pin, to

help raise much needed money for the

bedding.

There are many other kind people who have

helped and these people know who they are

and how much they are

appreciated by all of the

staff at EMAUS and all of the

organisers of the charity. I had the

pleasure of meeting Val, one of

the many helpers. Val who is

famous for her baking skills had

the task of providing over 100

cup cakes for the Children's

Christmas party.

The question is to our readers is:

how could you help to raise the

much needed money for the

new bedding fund? If you could

help by making a small donation

or perhaps a fund raising event

even a raffle for Christmas! Every little helps and Wayne,

Paul and the other many fund raisers would love to hear

from you if you could help. Please contact them directly

either by phone or email Elisabeth 649428666 elisa-

[email protected].

For many years the Fab Four fund raisers Anne, Pam,

Tad (owner of the Yorkshire Pride Pubs) and Stewie

(owner from the Geordie Bar Tat) have been the hub of

the fund raising and have given up an amazing amount

of their time to organise so much for the local Children's

homes. The event held earlier this year raised a stagger-

ing €11,500.00, although the massive efforts and results

have been truly amazing the Fab Four can only do so

much between them. The additional fund raising efforts

from the team centred around Wayne and Paul have

made such a difference and with more and more help the

charity can actually keep the children supplied with all of

the essential items, as well as making the extra differ-

ence for special events such as this years Christmas

party.

The Weekly Buzz newspaper would also like to offer our

help and will be organising a Christmas Raffle at our

news desk at the Indoor Market aisle 6. The Fab Four,

Anne, Pam, Tad & Stewie have joined up with us at the

Weekly Buzz to help rally around for the

donation of raffle

prizes and also

with the sale of

the tickets. The

raffle will be held

on Friday 19th

December at

1pm - everyone

who attends will

receive a winter

chocolate muffin

and a glass of

mulled wine.

Donations for the

raffle are very much

needed, so please, if you can come along and donate a

prize (large or small) any type of Christmas gifts, food or

drink items are welcomed so we can make up a hamper.

In fact anything at all that can be raffled. So with many

thanks in advance for your continued help and support,

we hope to see you very soon at the Weekly Buzz news

desk in the Indoor Market, Benidorm.

Reports from local health centres and clin-

ics show an increasing number of adults

and children experiencing very unpleas-

ant flu-like symptoms with the additional

effects of stomach cramps and diarrhoea.

The virus is prolific throughout the Costa

Blanca and has spread very fast.

It is likely to start amongst school pupils

and then spread back to their homes and

families. This type of virus can make you

very ill and normally takes between a few

days, and up to a week to recover. Health

workers said that it is common for this

type of virus to appear one month after the

school term starts and gradually spread,

before becoming a widespread problem,

with much higher reported numbers all

across the region. It is recommended that

frequent hand washing and extra attention

to kitchen cleanliness and food prepara-

tion areas is observed.

Calls to the benefit fraud hotline in Spain have doubled

since the British Government launched a major advertis-

ing campaign during the last week of October to encour-

age the public to call the hotline if they suspect benefit

fraud, and to urge claimants to report changes in their cir-

cumstances.

The Department for Work and Pensions’ (DWP) benefit

fraud hotline in Spain – 900 55 44 40 – has seen a surge

in vital tip-offs that fraud investigators are now pursuing

to verify if people are claiming benefits illegally.

Awareness of the campaign and associated media cov-

erage among expatriates in Spain, and their willingness

to call the hotline, is helping investigators to reduce the

waste of honest taxpayers’ money on fraudsters.

Work and Pensions Minister Mark Harper said:

“Hard working taxpayers have had enough of fraudsters

taking money which is meant for genuine claimants,

which is why we’re seeing so many people taking action

by calling the hotline. We know it’s a small minority who

commit benefit fraud but I would urge anyone who has

suspicions to call the free and confidential number or

report them anonymously online.”

Worldwide, someone is reported to benefit fraud hotlines

every minute of every working day on average, and in the

last year alone nearly 60,000 fraud investigations have

been launched.

The Government has recovered nearly one billion

pounds of wrongly paid benefits in the last year, and has

introduced a raft of measures to crack down on people

who cheat the system - both abroad and in the UK –

including:

• Tough new rules so that 40% of individuals’ ben-

efits can be taken to repay stolen cash - on top of any

fine or custodial sentence handed out by the courts;

• Increased penalties from £2,000 to £5,000,

without taking a fraudster to court;

• A new £50 civil penalty for claimants who neg-

ligently give incorrect information on their claims or fail to

report a change in circumstances which results in over-

payments.

If you suspect a benefit cheat, call the confidential hotline

on 900 55 44 40 - open from 8am to 4pm every weekday

in Spain - or report them online at www.dwp.gov.uk/ben-

efit-thieves-spain.

GETTING READY FOR A SPANISH CHRISTMASSpanish tradition has it that the Three

Kings, los Reyes Magos, are the ones

who on the morning of January 6th, bear

presents for all the children, repeating the

ritual they performed after baby Jesus

was born. Influenced by American films

and TV shows, some families have decid-

ed to switch to father

Christmas on 25th

Christmas Day, argu-

ing that this allows the

kids more time to play

with their toys.

Most Spanish people

keep their fingers

crossed for a

Christmas windfall,

courtesy of the world-

renowned lottery

draw, El Gordo, liter-

ally The Fat One. This

is a long, drawn-out event that unfolds on

the morning of December 22nd. Ticket

numbers in a giant drum are matched to

balls with millionaire prizes in a smaller

drum.

The ticketing system allows people to buy

fractions and subfractions of different

numbers, décimos and participaciones,

with increasing chances of a share in the

winnings.

As the top prizes come out, TV and radio

coverage centres on the search for the

many winners and for the particular lottery

shop where the winning ticket was bought.

350g plain flour, then mix in 100g golden caster sugar

and a pinch of salt. Combine the pastry into a ball –

don’t add liquid – and knead it briefly. The dough will be

fairly firm, like shortbread dough. You can use the

dough immediately, or chill for later.

2. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Line 18

holes of two 12-hole patty tins, by pressing small wal-

nut-sized balls of pastry into each hole. Spoon 280g

mincemeat into the pies.*OPTIONAL as a fun twist on

this traditional dessert which is great for

kids, why not and try substituting around

50g of mincemeat for 50g of Chocolate

Chips

3.Take slightly smaller balls of pastry

than before and pat them out between

your hands to make round lids, big

enough to cover the pies. Top the pies

with their lids, pressing the edges gently

together to seal – you don’t need to seal

them with milk or egg as they will stick on

their own. (The pies may now be frozen for up to 1

month).

4.Beat 1 small egg and brush the tops of the pies.

Bake for 20 minutes until golden. Leave to cool in the

tin for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack. To serve,

lightly dust with icing sugar. They will keep for 3 to 4

days in an airtight container.

You can throw the dough around and the mince pies still come out crisp and biscuity inthis kid-friendly Christmas recipe

• Makes 18 Pies - • Prep Time = 30-40min • Cook Time = 20min

1. Using a fork, you toast the edges of the

pillowy marshmallow until they’re well

browned, leaving one side (The Top)

white.

2. When the marshmallows cool, the

inside implodes, creating the perfect con-

tainer for your favourite tipple. Baileys is a

number one choice but you can choose

anything! (Chocolate milk is great for the

kids)

3. Once you have poured in your drink of

choice, “shoot quick” as the marshmal-

lows can be fragile. Then to finish off

enjoy the remains of the your gooey home made shot glass, yum!

Other great drink choices include: Disaronno, Cointreau, Tia Maria, Dooleys and any funflavoured liquors. It is down to personal choice so whatever your favourite, give it a try!

A 21 million euro tourist attraction has

been proposed for a Cable Car. It is set to

take people up to enjoy the spectacular

views across the coast line with the oper-

ating station planned to be at La Cruz

Punta Llisera (also known as The Cross).

The initiative has been headed by a

Russian businessman who is seeking

other investors to join the funding. The

talks between the investors and the

Mayor, Agustin Navarro, have taken place

who is said to be impressed with the plans

and project idea. Also the Mayor has said

that the impact to the local environment

would be minimal and the benefits to the

city would be enormous. If the plans and

funds are approved then construction

works could start as early as next year.

CABLE CArs fOr BENIDOrM?Last week the city of Benidorm, launched

a competition for a new logo to represent

the City and the tourist department "Visit

Benidorm Foundation". The competition

has been launched online thereby, reach-

ing an international audience and it can

be entered by anybody anywhere around

the globe!

The brief is to redefine the image of the

city to focus on Benidorm as a beach des-

tination with the idea being 'Chic and

Cheap'.

Miss Leire Bilbao, manager of the founda-

tion, said that they are committed to a new

phase to strengthen the character of the

city as a leader of Spanish tourism. The

foundation has received huge criticism

from the designers association of Valencia

since the launch. A spokesperson stated

"the competition undermines the profes-

sion of designers, and that the correct pro-

cedure to undertake is to pay a selected

group of professional designers who

would then submit the proposals accord-

ing to the specifications laid out”.

Miss Bilbao speaking on behalf of the

tourism foundation, said that they under-

stood the comments made but did not

agree, the worldwide competition launch

via the web gives it an international

dimension.

The competition is already underway and

all entries must be recieved before the

end of February 2015. The winning

designer will take home €3,000, there will

be two runner up prizes of €600 and final

category for a new slogan, with a prize of

€1,500.

nEw TRAFFIC LIgHTSTraffic lights have been installed on the Moraira-Calp

(CV-746) road and at the exit from the Camí

Campamento with the aim of regulating traffic in said

area and improving accessibility.

The councillor, José Vicente Llobel, has explained that

the Town Council held several meetings with representa-

tives from the Regional Government and the Government

of Alicante, given that the road falls within their compe-

tence, aiming to find a solution, as during the summer

months this road endures high volumes of traffic, as does

the one in the area surrounding the Youth Hostel.

Finally, three latest generation traffic lights have been

installed to regulate the traffic at the three points, in order

to "improve the accessibility and safety of the pedestri-

ans", highlighted the councillor.

It is worth noting that this action is in addition to that

already carried out at the beginning of summer, when the

Regional Government performed a series of improve-

ments to the crossroads of the same road, where a

pedestrian crossing and a pavement were installed for

the purpose of improving pedestrian safety.

TEuLADA Town CounCIL REDuCES TAxES FoR 2015 The Mayor of Teulada, Antoni Joan Bertomeu and the

Tax councillor, Antonio Reig, have explained that the

Town Council will reduce the municipal taxes

(IBI, Vehicles, IAE and the occupancy of public space

levy) for the 2015 budgetary year after having adhered to

the Adjustment Plan and reduced the debt by 5 million

Euros over the past few years.

The first modification is in relation to the PROPERTY

TAX (IBI), for which the rate has been reduced by 12.4%,

from the current 0.78 to 0.68 per cent, which represents

a much lower property tax than those living in neighbour-

ing towns.

The Department of Culture of L'Alfas del Pi organized for

the eighth year Hahaha child Laughter Christmas festi-

val, in order to "give children the municipality an offer

quality entertainment for the next school holidays" .The

festival Hahaha that includes film, theater and dance,

will take place from Friday 26 December to Monday

January 5th.

The festival includes dance, with the company Titoyaya

Project, which presents the show "Moniquilla and the

thief of laughter," especially recommended for children

from 4 years. Tickets will cost 2 euros. "This is a very

complete festival, designed so that young children have

a Christmas without having to go out of town.

The festival is not over until the Three Kings depart on

Monday January 5, at 18:00, from the esplanade of the

house of culture, strolling through the city center to get

to the party tent, where Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar

they distributed gifts to the children of the village.

Three clearly defined

areas have been set out

by the Mediterranean tour.

The areas with terraces,

pedestrian and bike

routes will be established

with the remodeling of the

layout. It is envisaged that

the works will be complet-

ed before Easter 2015.,

Representatives of the dif-

ferent restaurants and

bars in the area of the

Mediterranean tour have

had a meeting with the

mayors of the local area,

Yolanda Gallardo,

Sebastián Gómez, Vicent

Sanz, and Mayor, Pedro

Barber, with regard to the

implementation of the new

layout of the cycleway.

"In this second phase of

meetings with business-

men in the area,

explained Vicent Sanz, we

have presented the pro-

posal that presents costs

for your bike do not cross

between the terraces of

the bars and restaurants,

as it is the case at pres-

ent." "This solution is to

locate the bike path up the

side walk, with which the

terraces will again be uni-

fied, avoiding the crossing

of the waiters or cus-

tomers of them by rail bike

to gain entry to the restau-

rant or the bar",

NEW LAYOUT FOR CYCLEWAY

MAIN AVENUE RENOVATION UNDERWAYWork has commenced on the renovation of the Avenue of

Villajoyosa. The work is being undertaken by the compa-

ny Ecisa. Funded by the council the budget for the reno-

vations is set at 686,070 euros. The Department of Traffic

and Transportation has announced that the work will take

around two months.

This main artery to the town will be closed to traffic with

diversions to get around the area. Councilman for Traffic,

Juan Seva, stated that neighbourhood associations of

Playa Blanca, Serra Grossa, Cabo de las Huertas and La

Sangueta had been informed in advance and they

explained that residents can reach their homes through

different access points.

The renovation of the Avenue of Villajoyosa will include,

extending existing sidewalks in some parts of the narrow

street, and improving the accessibility of pedestrian

routes.

CHINA'S FAkE EvOqUESpArkS FUry

At first glance, the new car unveiled at a

motor show appeared to be an updated

model of the Range Rover Evoque.

With its signature body shape, lights and

radiator grille and silver logo across the

front edge of its bonnet, it was the spit-

ting image of the British bestseller.

But in fact, it was a brazen copy

of the hugely popular UK-

designed ‘baby’ off-roader – and

at a fraction of the price.

Little-known Chinese carmaker

LandWind launched its X7 at the

Guangzhou motor show in China

last week, and like all good fakes

it is a remarkably close approxi-

mation of the real thing, that goes

for a lot less money. In this case,

the Range Rover Evoque, sells

for around 40,000 pounds, while

the Chinese version will retail for

a meager 14,000 quid.

The British manufacturer has just

opened its first car factory in

China in a venture with local firm

Chery. Jaguar Land Rover chief

executive Dr Ralf Speth told

Autocar magazine: “The fact that

this kind of copying is ongoing in

China is very disappointing. The

intellectual property (IP) is owned

by Jaguar Land Rover and if you

break that IP then you are in

breach of international regula-

tions.”

But drivers looking for a fashionable car

at a bargain price might want to wait for

safety inspection results. LandWind’s

earlier CV9 people-carrier scored just two

stars out of five in European crash tests

in 2010.

LLOOCCAALL CCLLUUBBSS && CCHHAARRIITTIIEESS

Fake Evoque: the LandWind X7.

The real Range Rover Evoque.

The MABS centre was buzzing on Saturday 22nd

November with over 100 people arriving to see the

Autumn/Winter fashion show. There was amazement

on the audiences faces at the array of different outfits

being modelled ranging from sizes 10 – 18. There

was something for all ages from the tiniest denim skirt

to a gorgeous very low backed slinky evening dress.

An added addition to the show were the 2 brave male

models who escorted the ladies arm in arm along the

catwalk with such professionalism.

Organiser of the event, Angie Taylor, was over-

whelmed by the success of the show and said it was

more than she could have hoped for. Thanks go to

everyone who helped to make the day a success and

to those who supported the event in such hard times.

A total of 994 Euros was raised including the shop´s

takings. Well Done Everyone.

Last Thursday streams of people visited

the Indoor Market for the dual opening of

the new Telitec shop together with the

Weekly Buzz news desk.

The recent advertising for the event

proved to be a winner, with people arriv-

ing to claim their free mobile phone and

find out more about the products on offer.

Jan Edmonson, the chief executive of

Telitec, said "we were pleasantly sur-

prised at the number of people who

turned up and the response we had to

the special offers and promotions on offer

as part of the opening at the Indoor

Market".

The owner of the Weekly Buzz newspa-

per Marco Baiardo, said "we are delight-

ed to be partnered with Telitec as part of

our project to promote the best business-

es to the public in the North Costa

Blanca".

The special offers and promotions are

available until Christmas Eve, with dis-

counted prices for Internet products,

British TV and mobile phones. You can

go along for a demonstration and see the

products perform in front of your eyes,

before you buy!!

Many people have suffered the pain of

slow or no internet, and with so many

expats relying on contact with their loved

ones by phone and via the Internet, this

can affect their daily life.

The retired expats who have time to relax

and keep in touch with their children and

grandchildren back in the UK, and also

many Norwegian, Dutch and German

residents have an enormous problem

with home internet connections, especial-

ly if they want to save money using VOIP

(voice over the Internet). These people

rely on a stable and fast connection.

Telitec have developed a wide coverage

of wireless transmitters, so a landline is

not necessary to get Internet to your

home or business. The network is contin-

uing to expand across many new areas

in the Costa Blanca, and will soon be

available to almost all towns.

Other internet devices are also available

to buy "over the counter" in the shop, so

you can literally take away a "ready to

use" internet connection. Once you have

made your purchase, you can go home

and immediately connect to the world.

For business users there is now a brand

new device that allows a fast 4G connec-

tion via a plug in router, with no installa-

tion arrangements or dish, and no phone

line required. 4G high speed internet is

ideal for multi users, connected wireless

or with ethernet cables. This device is

unique and is available now to buy from

the Indoor Market shop. For a free home

Real estate and the growth of the construction

industry are the main factors in the continued

efforts to stabilise Spain's economy for the

coming year. Due to the improvement in

financing, the increase of mortgage offers and

a return of foreign investment, the economy

for 2015 should continue to see stable

growth, likely to be more than the 2% predict-

ed by the Spanish government.

According to a recent report from Arcano

(independent financial advisors), the reason

for the increase and positive outlook is the

fact that there is a reactivation of the con-

struction of new homes. It said that Spain will

see property prices increase and

then stabilise during 2015. The

real estate sector will once again

be leading the Spanish econo-

my.

The report also shows a flow of

new credit from banks and other

lenders for small and medium

size businesses, not just individ-

uals. Home sales in Spain have

seen a record number of completions during

the third quarter (July, August and September)

~ and finally the news from Denmark's Saxo

Bank, who are of the opinion that the property

market in Spain has bottomed out and is at its

lowest point.

HOUSING GROWTH SPEEDS

SPAINS ECONOMY

HOW CAN YOU FINANCE A

PROPERTY IN SPAIN?There are a variety of ways that you can pay

for a property in Spain. Aside from paying

cash, you can fund a property through a

variety of loan options. Which option you

choose is something you should consider

before you start to look for a property or

select an estate agent to assist you in your

purchase. Also, it is wise to consider your

finances and have any mortgage you may

have applied for ready in principle. You may

consider either a UK mortgage or search for

one from a Spanish mortgage broker.

In Spain, your options for home loans, par-

ticularly as a non-resident owner, are unlike-

ly to be as extensive as those on offer if buy-

ing in the UK, or wherever your native coun-

try is. Spanish banks have been hit harder

by the financial crisis of recent years than

banks in the UK other parts of the world, and

as a result lending conditions have become

more stringent, although interest rates

remain low.

If you decide to buy a repossessed property,

either a new-build that a developer defaulted

on or a property formerly owned privately,

you are likely to be offered very attractive

finance options by the bank selling it.

Remember, you won’t be able to transfer the

bank’s finance terms to another property not

owned by that bank. Buying a bank repos-

session this way will suit some buyers, typi-

cally investors, but be careful you are fully

aware of the terms of the finance and be

certain you will be able to keep up repay-

ments.

Of course, your monthly mortgage repay-

ment is another important figure to consider

when looking at the cost of maintaining your

property. Choosing the wrong mortgage

could lead to difficulties and it’s very impor-

tant not to stretch yourself financially. If

you’d like to be put in touch with a recom-

mended overseas mortgage broker.

The hardest part of buying a home in

Spain is probably choosing the property

that had the best physical features that

have been examined in detail. Taking your

time when looking around so you can

compare the different possibilities that the

market has to offer. Examine the physical

features of the property in detail to make

sure that there are no problems that would

later come to light.

Estate agents make up an important fac-

tor when finding the right home because

the agent should provide you with the dif-

ferent possibilities that suit your budget

and requirements.

Examine the property's physical features,

take time to look over the property your-

self. Check the condition of its installed

equipment and it's general upkeep, the

amount of light it gets, the views and the

neighbourhood. Taking notice of the noise

levels day and night and meeting the

neighbours. If anything seems wrong then

do not hesitate to bring this to the atten-

tion of the Estate Agent and to hear their

explanations and then make a decision to

employ a professional such as an archi-

tect or surveyor to make a report on your

behalf.

Installed equipment should have service

records and maintenance schedules, also

taking copies of the utility bills so that you

can examine the usual costs and calculate

the total running costs of the property.

For new build property the seller should

provide you with the general plans, floor

space and the general description.

Together with the description of the servic-

es (power, water, gas, heating systems,

warrantee and fire safety. The details of

the materials used in the build should

also be made available with full informa-

tion of the insulation of sound and heat. If

the property is a flat or as part of a com-

munity area the annual costs should be

declared as well as the details of the com-

munity association agreement.

FINdING ThE RIGhT

homE IN SpAINYou may not be aware that from 1st June

2013, a new Energy Efficiency Law for

properties came into force. This now

means that any properties sold or rented

after this date will be required to have a

Certificate confirming the energy efficien-

cy of the home. This Certificate is valid

for 10 years.

This procedure is already in force in the

UK and many other European Countries

and the European Parliament is now

insisting that Spain conforms.

It is now a legal requirement for all prop-

erties sold or rented and indeed applies

to holiday rental properties that have

rentals of 16 weeks per year or more.

The Certificate must be issued by a

Certified Technician or Architect who will

visit the property and test the heating,

refrigeration, hot water and lighting to

ascertain the amount of energy con-

sumed when these items are used. In

addition, the Co2 emissions of a home

must also be listed. There is no obliga-

tion for any Owner to make alterations or

upgrades to the property but the law

does state that the Architect must advise

an Owner how the grading may be

raised.

PMR can help you arrange for your

Certificate to be done without delay.

Contact Danielle in our Alfaz office who

will be pleased to answer any questions

you may have and advise you on the pro-

cedure to obtain the paperwork you

require including registration of the

Certificate with the Generalitat.

are spectacular.

“Very welcoming, great food”Reviewed 22 September 2014This little bar is just out of the town but ideal for us, right next

to out apartment. The owners were very friendly and helpful

and the food was great, especially the salads. We also

enjoyed the Sangria!

“A Hidden Gem”Reviewed 21 September 2014Found this little place totally by accident when out walking in

Benidorm, what a suprise. the total opposite of anything i had

expected to find. The owners are very friendly, the food is fan-

tastic and it has great views in a very peaceful location. I will

definately make the effort to find this place again on my next

visit.

“Nice little place with a great sea view”Reviewed 3 September 2014This is a nice little bar that serves good British food at the end

of Levante Beach in the hills above the small nudist beach.

The view over the Mediterranean is what makes me ray there

foe a long time and enjoy my cold drinks on on a warm day

“Best Sunday Roast in Town”Reviewed 26 August 2014I was told about this Restaurant and had dismissed it. What a

mistake. The restaurant is situated half way up a hill with a

beautiful view of the bay and Peacock Island. It is a small fam-

ily restaurant and booking is sometimes necessary. My wife

and I had the Chicken Sunday Roast. What a lovely surprise

when the dinner came out and the Chicken had been sliced off

a chicken as opposed to pre sliced chicken. The veg was

beautiful, with roast Parsnips, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Broccoli

and Peas. Mashed potatoes along with roast potatoes and

your own gravy pot. A beautiful meal priced at just €7.50.

Superb value. Needless to say we cleared our plates and fin-

ished off with apple pie and custard. There are many other

dishes on the menu which I hope to sample in the near future.

Lovely.

“Fantastic”Reviewed 14 September 2014Great at any time of the day. Probably went in every day of our

holiday. Frosted beers a must. Tracy a fab host and became a

friend whilst we were there. Must have the fish and chips.

Crunchy batter and homemade chips. Tracy and her chef went

out of their way to make me vegetarian foods. Would recom-

mend to anyone. Well done Tracy and team.

“Already longing to come back”Reviewed 17 August 2014Our favorite restaurant in Albir. Great menu, great chef and the

best of service. We miss you so much in Altea but we are will-

ing to take the walk to Albir to be able to have your great food

and company. Don't miss; Fish & Chips, Toast Christian and

Lettuce wraps!

“Brilliant”Reviewed 30 October 2014

Dined at Bistro Amics a number of times, food is absolutely

amazing, lovely wine menu. Service was excellent and Tracey

and her team were so welcoming.

“On our list of places to go regularly”Reviewed 15 April 2014

Absolutely stunned. This is a new restaurant in Albir (situated

where Biblos used to be) and we decided to give it a try. The

best chipirones I have ever tasted and the pork was tender

and juicy.

The sauces were to die for and were not as heavy as they are

in some places. The service was good. The staff were very

friendly and the location is right next to the central (free) car

park. For the two of us: 3 courses each, 2 glasses of wine

each and coffee came to 59 euros. Well worth it. We'll be

back!

“Great Fish and Chips”Reviewed 23 October 2014

Coming from Yorkshire i know more than a little about fish and

chips and these are by far the best in the area. Great value,

great service - its doesn't do pizza, curry (except curry sauce

of course) or other things it does just exactly what is says on

the tin!

“Great Fish and Chips”Reviewed 16 October 2014

Great food and service....we will be back. Freshly cooked to

order and no greasy after taste either.

Altea is an old fishing village which has expand-

ed to become a pleasant resort on the Costa

Blanca.

The hill-top town of Altea has lovely white-

washed houses and is full of the palm trees and

bougainvillea that make these Spanish towns

so attractive. The town is relatively unspoilt

considering the tourist development that has

gone on around it. The church is particularly

attractive with its blue dome.

Down below by the pebbled beach is the tourist

resort of Altea, a mixture of tourist apartments

and fisherman's cottages. Whilst not a sandy

beach the coastline here is attractive and the

historic town above is an added treat.

The most beautiful building in Altea is its

church, the Nuestra Senora del Consuelo (Our

Lady of Sorrow) with a stunning blue and white

domed roof.

The old town is a maze of narrow, cobbled

streets, often with a glimpse of the bright blue

sea of the harbour below.

There are plenty of bars and restaurants along

the sea-front but make sure you dine in the old

town at least once during your visit. In the

evening the outdoor cafes fill up, the air is

warm, there is a view of the sea below and eat-

ing al-fresco is very pleasant.

Most of the action takes place down in the har-

bour area. Here you will find lots of restaurants

and bars and Altea's beaches. The beaches are

pebbly rather than sandy but offer a good range

of water sports. The coastline is very attractive

as there are plenty of nice rocky coves to

explore.

If you have the chance to visit during the festi-

val of San Lorenzo in mid August you will be

able to see a spectacular firework display with

fireworks being set off from the sea as well as

from land. The display is known as the Castell

de l'Olla and is developing an international rep-

utation.

Are you a regular visitor or resident living in the

Benidorm and surrounding areas that has not

yet visited Altea? If not then plan your day out

now, you can get there by bus for only 1.50€!

publish them in a later edition! email us

Altea is dominated by it's beautiful land mark church located on top of a steep hill

surrounded by quaint "Old Town" houses in very narrow streets. Many of these houses

have been changed into restaurants and bar cafes.

In it's early tourist days in the early 1960,s attracted many artists, musicians, writers and

craft craftsmen leading to Altea having a Bohemian atmosphere .

deadly enterovirusd68 Found in norway

Cases of the potentially deadly enterovirus

d68 has been found in norway, it was

revealed on tuesday.

The virus, which can cause paralysis and is

without cure, and there is no cure, has been

found in a few cases affecting Norwegians,

informed the Norwegian Institute of Public

Health (Nasjonalt Folkehelseinstitutt - FHI).

Senior physician of the Division of Infectious

Disease Control at FHI, Trude Arnesen, said to

NTB: "Enteroviruses are spread from excre-

ment via hands to food, and also by coughing.

Good hand and coughing hygiene will reduce

the chance of infection.”

“This is not a Polio virus and Norway is still free

of Polio,” she added.

Enterovirus D68 is the most common cause of

less severe forms of encephalitis and meningi-

tis. The virus may also result in pulmonary

infections and, more seldom, neurological

symptoms like palsies.

The virus is usually found in children and

young people with mild symptoms that include

fever, pulmonary infection symptoms and body

aches. On rare occassions, it can result in

more serious symptoms, like pulmonary and

neurological symptoms.

There is no curative treatment beside treating

the symptoms. Preventive measures are good

hand and coughing hygiene. FHI reports that

there is no vaccine.

False prophets: Fortunetellers jailed in norway

Four men, who ran a fortune telling company in

Larvik, South-East Norway, were in court sen-

tenced to up to three years in prison on

Tuesday. They must alsi pay back around 2.5

million kroner ($367,000) after being found guilty

of serious embezzlement through a fortune teller

company.

The men where charged for fraudulently invoic-

ing 15 million kroner ($2.2 million) and for scam-

ming the Norwegian government of 2.9 million

kroner ($450,000) in false VAT deductions,

reported Østlands-Posten.

Two of the men were from Vestfold in South-

East Norway were sentenced to two-and-a-half

years in prison and three years in prison respec-

tively. A third man from Akershus was also been

sentenced to three years in prison.

The fourth charged individual, a 59-year-old man

from Skien, was sentenced to two years, ten

months in prison.

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

Is your current plan of action over your career zone taking you in the right direc-

tion? If not, you don’t have to abandon ship all together. You just need to modify

your approach and stop taking comments personally. You get excellent results

from practical efforts.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

There’s a co-operative atmosphere developing at home, making it your favourite

place to be this week. There’s renewed warmth in your love life, relationships

and friendships, and since that’s what makes you happiest, you’ll have a big

smile on your face the whole week.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

Be prepared to deal with unexpected personal setbacks and to approach life as

steadily as you can. Don’t get involved in too many new ventures or you’ll

spread yourself too thinly and will feel dissatisfied with all of them. Christmas is

coming so get ready.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

Work is trundling along nicely as are money matters, but its time to step up the

efforts in the love zone as romance and passion feature in a big way this week.

You’ve got what it takes to attract a whole load of compliments. Accept gracious-

ly and don’t hide away. Enjoy.

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

If you’re finding everyone pushy or difficult, it may be worth taking a step back

and having a look at your own life and lifestyle choices, before you start criticis-

ing them. Downsize your responsibilities if possible and start focusing on part-

ners, children and family.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

If you keep going over the ins and outs of relationships at home, especially when

there’s nothing wrong, your obsessive behaviour may be the last straw for part-

ners, and things could hit the skids. Try to minimise conflict by seeing the other

persons point of view.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

One to one friendships get a lift this week, so its worth focusing your efforts on

securing and maintaining positive relationships. It may be hard to bring certain

others round to your way of thinking, but use your persuasive charm to convince

them you know best.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

You have plenty of scope to be both critical and open minded this week, a formi-

dable combination when it comes to being ahead of the game. Stand by deci-

sions you make this week or others will see you as weak and insecure. Social

trends look positive so go with the flow.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

You’re one of the few signs that can get away with acting on impulse and things

working out all right for you, so don’t be afraid to stick out your neck and take a

chance this week be it at work or in a social situation. An entertaining weekend

for socialising.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

Don’t allow specific issues to become obsessions this week. Your sign is denot-

ed by the goat, a grazer that never stays in the one place for too long. Sound

familiar? Look at concerns and worries, sort them out as best you can, and

move onto the next issue. Done!

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

Your popularity is off the charts these days and you’re starting to wonder if you

have a secret aura you don’t realise you’re giving off. I’d enjoy the ride if I were

you. You’re happy to take the lead in many things. Maybe that’s what others find

attractive about you.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

The accent is now on your romantic life, and what you can do to get the fire and

passion back on track. Taking time to listen is always a good port of call, so

make time to really discuss plans for the future with partners. You need to make

sure you’re still on the same page.

In another local town Alfaz del Pi, the local dogpound has been forced to close at the order ofthe Mayor. Dogs were suffering in there andwere being killed because the pound was full.

Dogs will be crammed into cages far tosmall for 5 at a time. We won't get to see thedogs easily and spot the ill ones so that we canhelp them. Living in cramped conditions turnsthem into packs, meaning they are harder tosocialise.

Many of you arenow here for a few months and just 2-3 hours ofyour time is invaluable for our dogs.Donations are vital as we now will have moreemergency trips to the vets for treatment as thedogs become less socialised and more unhap-py towards each other.We need building mate-rials to help section off alarge plot of land intosmaller sections so wecan get dogs out of theirpens and into an areathey can run the volun-teers will do the buildingwork we just need thetools.Here is a way you canhelp us and spread theword and get donationsin.....buy a t-shirt!30 ordered and over 365dollars raised BUTONLY IF we get 40ordered.

ColD SymptomS in KittEnS

Colds are common in kittens because these little guys have developing immune sys-

tems and aren't as able to fight off infection as well as their adult counterparts. These

colds are due to upper respiratory infections caused by either virus or bacterial infec-

tion.

Sneezing Kitties

A little kitten with an upper respiratory infection has symptoms similar to colds in people.

You'll notice that he sneezes and coughs frequently. He may also have a runny nose

and watery eyes. In some cases, the little one will develop a fever, become less active

and lethargic and may eat less than usual. While colds are an annoyance for older kit-

ties, in kittens they can quickly become serious, leading to pneumonia, trouble breath-

ing or ulcers on the nose, mouth or eyes, according to the Mar Vista Animal Medical

Center. The simple loss of fluids caused by a runny nose in a tiny furry baby can also

result in dehydration.

What to Do?

Visit your veterinarian if you notice cold symptoms in your little kitty to properly diagnose

the condition. She'll be able to examine your furry friend and determine the cause of his

sneezy symptoms. In some cases, a virus could be to blame, while in others a bacterial

infection could be the cause. The two major causes of upper respiratory infections are

either the herpesvirus or calicivirus, both of which account for 80 to 90 percent of all

such infections, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to

Animals. While viruses can't be cured and may recur later in life, bacterial infections

can. These may occur as the primary or secondary cause of your little one's symptoms

and can be treated with antibiotics to rid your kitty of them.

What to Expect

Kitty colds last around four to 14 days, although they may last longer in little kittens --

up to three or four weeks,

according to the Cats

Exclusive Veterinary

Center. During this time,

your vet may want you to

administer an antibiotic or

antiviral medication orally

and may also give you eye

drops or nasal drops.

Drops help your little one

breathe more easily by

relieving his congestion or

may help soothe his red,

irritated eyes. Follow your

vet's instructions and bring

your little one in for regular

exams, especially if his

symptoms aren't improv-

ing.

It is a fact. Men avoid Doctors. Many willadmit that they will only visit a Doctor ifpressurized by the other half, in fact in oneAmerican study, 80% of men agreed thatwithout a little push from their partner theywould not see a Doctor.

It is this reluctance that means that menare much more likely to end up in hospitalwith problems such as pneumonia, heartfailure and complications from diabetes.Cancers in men are often diagnosed at apoint where treatment is less effective or

the disease is terminal. Suicide is also more common inmen as they are much less likely to consult a Doctor whenthey are feeling depressed.

Avoiding the Doctor may well be a learned behaviour thatmen inherit from their own Fathers, as well as the malenotion that complaining about pain or illness is somehowa sign of weakness.

Women on average live 5.1 years longer than men. Thefollowing statistics go someway to explaining this:

45% of men are overweight1/3 of men are clinicallyobese7/8 of men have atleast one risk factorfor heart disease orstrokesTwice as many menthan womendrink more thanthe recommend-ed safe limitsfor alcohol

25% of menhave high bloodpressure

If am a n

has aproblem of

a personalnature they

are even more reluctant to discuss it with a Doctor. Onestudy revealed that in such cases:

42 % have delayed seeing their Doctor47% are excruciatingly embarrassed when they do attend12% never seek medical attention for the problem.

So ladies, if you have ever been accused of nagging yourother half to seek medical attention, take no heed andkeep nagging, you may well be saving his life. It may alsobe a good idea to leave this article on your coffee table!

Whether they were controlling women's access to contraception or making life-or-death decisions,

attitudes toward doctors in the past were that they always knew best. But with the landmark Shipman

case and the end of out-of-hours care, the public's view of GPs shifted dramatically. In the second of

much has changed over the last 50 years

Britain's Bloodiest dynastySeason 1 Episode 1 of 4

Betrayal New series. Powerful storytelling and dramatic reconstruction bring to life one of the most

bloody and violent chapters in British history as Dan Jones explores the lives of the Plantagenets, who

ruled England and much of France during the Middle Ages. The historian begins with Henry II - the first

king of the dynasty - a dashing and energetic warrior who transformed England from a violent and law-

less state into the heart of an empire that would become one of the greatest that Europe has ever seen.

jack wilshere is facing more time on the sidelines

after injuring his ankle during Saturday's defeat to

Manchester united. The Arsenal midfielder is to see

a specialist after a late challenge from united

defender Paddy McNair forced him off before the

end of the 2-1 defeat at the Emirates. wilshere will

be out "for a while", according to Arsene wenger,

who does at least have defender Laurent Koscielny

back in his squad for wednesday's Champions

League game against Borussia Dortmund.

Mohamed Diame could be fit for Hull's trip to

Manchester united on Saturday after scans cleared

him of serious injury.

The midfielder missed Sunday's home defeat to

Tottenham with a knee problem and was sent for fur-

ther investigation.Hull go to Old Trafford just a point

clear of the Premier League relegation places having

won only once since the opening weekend,

But Diame has been a hit since arriving from west

Ham in a £3.5m deadline-day deal, scoring four

times in eight starts.

MORE TIME OuT

Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes is in a critical condi-

tion after being struck by a bouncer while batting.

The 25-year-old was hit by a Sean Abbott delivery while

batting for South Australia in a Sheffield Shield match

against New South Wales at the Sydney Cricket

Ground.

Hughes needed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the

boundary and was then taken to St Vincent's Hospital,

where he had surgery and remains in an intensive-care

unit.

David Faktor, a spokesman at St Vincent's Hospital,

said: "He arrived in a critical condition and remains in a

critical condition.

"When he arrived he underwent a set of scans to

establish the extent of his injuries and then a decision

was made to perform surgery. All I could confirm is that

he did sustain a head injury and that he is in a critical

condition at the moment."

South Australia's performance manager Tim Nielsen

said: "As you're aware Phil Hughes was injured today

and he's undergoing surgery.”

Hughes was 63 not out and wearing a helmet when he

tried to hook an Abbott bouncer and missed. He was

attempting to play his way into the Australia side for

next week's first Test against India.

Equipment manufacturers Masuri, who supplied the

helmet Hughes was wearing, issued a statement stating

it was seeking to view as much footage of the incident

as possible.

AuSTRALIA'SHugHES 'CRITICAL'

Tony Bellew may have only given his performance a

six out of 10 after beating Nathan Cleverly but he is

happy to take on champion Marco Huck next.

The 31-year-old won the WBO cruiserweight eliminator

showdown at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on Saturday

night on a split decision.

It means he is one of the top challengers to Huck, who

has equalled Johnny Nelson's cruiserweight world title

defence record of 13 and who could face face the Sky

Sports pundit next year.

But Bellew, who was only fighting as a cruiserweight for

the third time, is ready to take on the WBO champion in

his next fight. He believes it is now the biggest fight in the

division and is also one he can win. He said to media on

f fight night "I'm not being big-headed but I am a pretty big

draw in this division. I bring an awful lot of plusses to the

table and I do think every cruiserweight world champion

wants to fight me now.

ENGLAND CALL Up WALDROM

Exeter No 8 Thomas Waldrom has been

called into Stuart Lancaster’s 31-man

England squad for this weekend’s

clash with Australia.

Waldrom, who has been in superb form

for the Chiefs, scoring seven tries in eight

Aviva Premiership matches, replaces Billy

Vunipola who suffered concussion in

Saracens’ defeat to Northampton on

Sunday.

Stephen Myler, who kicked 16 points in

Saints’ victory, returns to the squad after

recovering from a hamstring injury and

Leicester lock Graham Kitchener is also

included. Second row Courtney Lawes

remains with the squad as he tried to

shake off a knee knock he suffered in a

bruising encounter with Samoa at

Twickenham on Saturday.

Vunipola was dropped for the 28-9 victory

over Samoa - Gloucester's Ben Morgan

started in his place - and was unlikely to

figure in the climax to the autumn against

the Wallabies.

"Billy will undergo the graduated return to

play protocol at his club," read a state-

ment released by England.

George Ford's fine full debut means he

will start against the Wallabies, leaving

Owen Farrell to battle it out with Billy

Twelvetrees for the number 12 jersey.

TENNIS HISTORYA Roger Federer masterclass helped Switzerland clinch their first Davis Cup title as the

17-time grand slam champion defeated Richard Gasquet to hand them an unassailable

3-1 lead over hosts France.

The 6-4 6-2 6-2 win helped

the 33-year-old Federer

secured the historic deci-

sive point and land the last

big prize in tennis missing

from his collection to raptur-

ous applause by both sets

of supporters in front of

another world record crowd

of 27,488 on the indoor

claycourt in Lille. Jo-Wilfried

Tsonga was initially set to

face the Swiss star but was

sidelined with an elbow

injury meaning Gasguet took his spot for France. But he was unable to cope with an

inspired Federer, who looked a back to his very best following a back injury which crip-

pled him at the ATP World Tour finals in London last weekend.

IT’S CRUNCH TIMEFOR ENGLAND

Before the QBE Internationals kicked

off Stuart Lancaster stated that

England had to win three of the four

internationals – not my words, not

some other journalists’ but those of the

England manager.

That is now impossible. As November

nears its end England face Australia, pool

rivals in next year’s World Cup with a

record of 1-2 going into the match.

Defeat from an English perspective does

not bear thinking about. The month when

Twickenham was supposed to be turned

into the fortress from which a confident

assault on the world could be launched

next year will be – in rugby terms – a

wreck should the Wallabies win.

This really is a significant game in the

coaching career of Lancaster and maybe

down the road we will look back on it and

agree it was indeed his most important

match to date. To win the World Cup, the

knowledge and confidence of how to beat

the big three is a prerequisite. Should

Australia win, Lancaster’s record would be

one win in three against them.

Twickenham or not, this is not the launch

pad for World Cup glory.

Saturday is a test of the management’s

ability to tweak a broadly structured game

plan into something flexible that George

Ford can get his hands and boot on and

turn it into a sorely needed win. Ford was

the best thing to come out of a poor per-

formance against Samoa, although he is a

long way from the messiah and the nine

out of 10 performance he was afforded in

the wake of the match.

HAMMY CROWNEDWORLD CHAMPION

Lewis Hamilton has joined

Formula 1’s illustrious ranks of

double World Champions after

race victory in the season-

deciding Abu Dhabi GP

emphatically clinched him the

2014 drivers’ title.

In a race in which he only

needed to finish second,

Hamilton pre-race promise to

“drive it like I stole it” translat-

ed in sensational fashion in

the opening seconds of the

race as an electric getaway

saw him vault past his polesit-

ting title rival Rosberg into the

lead well before Turn One.

Hamilton immediately set

about controlling proceedings

and his lead over Rosberg

was in excess of two seconds

before his team-mate’s

Mercedes developed a critical

ERS systems failure on lap 25

which effectively settled

their tense, com-

pelling season-

long battle for

supremacy in

the Briton’s

favour.

While battling

with the

mechanical issues

Rosberg contiued urging his

race engineer over the radio to

try and get him to the flag in

the fifth place he needed to

win the title should Hamilton

run into terminal trouble,

Rosberg’s woes only got

worse amid increasingly termi-

nal brake wear and he eventu-

ally slipped all the way to 14th

place and out of the points.

In one final cruel twist,

Rosberg and his ailing W05

were then lapped by Hamilton

two laps from home. However,

after taking the title scrap all

the way down to the wire,

Rosberg chose to fight on to

the chequered flag despite

Mercedes suggesting he could

retire his broken car if he want-

ed.

With his sole title rival out of

contention, Hamilton could

pace himself to the flag over

the final 30 laps, although he

came under a late challenge

for the race victory from

Williams’ Felipe Massa as the

Brazilian bolted on the quicker

supersoft tyres for an aggres-

sive final stint.

However, triumphing over the

man who nearly denied him

his first title six years ago in

rather more dramatic cir-

cumstances at Interlagos

by 2.5 seconds,

Hamilton’s 11th win of

his season capped up a

career-best campaign.

"This is the greatest day of

my life. 2008 was special but

the feeling I have now is way

past that. It's the greatest feel-

ing I have ever had," a jubliant

Hamilton said to Sky F1's

Martin Brundle on the podium.

"The start was like a rocket

and probably the best I've ever

had. Going into the race I had

different approaches in my

mind but the car was fantas-

tic."
