hello
Hello readers,
I have to start this week off with the weather, on Sunday we
got to see such wonderful sunshine and also temperatures
of up to 22 degrees with rumours that it was even hotter
on the beach , you would of actually had been sunburnt
if you were sitting in direct sunlight without adequate skin
protection.
Having to use sun protection in the third week of January is
this for real?
Talking to family and friends in the UK is sometimes fun
because you always know the reaction that is coming when
you are about to tell them how gorgeous the weather is. I
often try to avoid it as I know that it has been raining there
and it’s cold so who needs me calling and rubbing salt
into the wound, But yesterday taking to my mum I couldn’t
help myself as it was just too nice not to mention. I hadn’t
planned to go out but by lunch time I had taken myself off
to the beach for a little people watching and enjoyment.
Sun loving Brits even some Spaniards in summer wear,
had a perfect Sunday afternoon simply lapping it up, so
how great was that to see here in January and I might just
add without going on the forecast for February it is looking
extremely good with only 7 days in total of clouds the other
21 days are looking sunny and warm.
I have seen many Brits out and about this week and
speaking to business owners I am told that business in
general has been so far a much busier in January than in
2013 so let’s hope the good start to 2014 will set the trend
for the months to come.
With only two weeks and a bit before Valentine’s day we
have included some menus on pages 6 & 7 or if you really
want to go for it we have a limousine service available just
give us a call to check availability call us on 673 652 340
If you are a sports loving person then with only days to
go before the SIX NATIONS Rugby starts, we have a great
opening line up on Saturday with two games that include
Wales v Italy and France v England and then on Sunday
Ireland v Scotland so this weekend should see many fans
out in the bars enjoying both the rugby and the live football.
So please enjoy your week, more sunshine (fingers crossed)
and don’t forget to help our readers find out more about
what’s going on and any events in your calendar. If you have
any news, events or announcements to make then please
call us on:

Just visit www.theexpatsurvey.com all and the links
can be found on the homepage, when you complete
all three parts you will automatically be entered into
its free prize draw to win £1,000. Your opinion really
matters to the research team, each questionnaire has
been
designed to not only gauge your views on popular
lifestyle and consumer topics, but also invites you
to tell them about your experiences on life abroad.
The programme is led by the ex-head of research
from BBC World, the specialist research team is
independent and has received responses from more
than 100 countries so far. “We have been thrilled
with the response from expatriates from all walks of
life around the globe who have shared their stories
with us. It has been a truly engaging experience
for the team and has provided us with unique
insight enabling us to establish a very in-depth
understanding of those residing in a foreign country”
said Emma Wood, Project Director.
Emerging highlights show a broad spectrum of online
shopping behaviour. 69% of expats have purchased
multiple travel tickets via the internet in the last 6
months, versus just 12% on groceries and essentials;
as they opt to shop locally to engage in their adopted
communities and eat native produce when not on
the move. January Analysis of spending habits has
revealed some fast growing online trends when it
comes to expatriates making purchases from .com
stores outside their country of residence. 55% bought
books, CDs and DVDs online in the second half of
last year. 78% spent up to £100 on shoes, with 66%
treating themselves to clothes up to £100 every
month.
Almost 70% of respondents have made it clear that
delivery charges are an important consideration when
shopping online, with 42% making arrangements with
friends and family to take goods out to them on their
next visit. Amazingly and despite the growing volume
and nature of currency exchange specialists 72% still
transfer their money via their bank.
The Expat Survey does not share any personal
information with third parties and has no links with
Governments.

Less School Buses In Benidorm
Getting the kids to school is always difficult but
once they are washed, fed, dressed and out the door
you have would think the hard part is over, but at
the start of the next school year parents will have
another headache.
Students who live less than three kilometres away
from their schools will not be able to continue using
bus passes, but as the distance is measure by the
radius, pupils are facing five or six kilometre walks to
and from school. With an increase of pupils unable
to take the bus parents would opt to drive creating
traffic chaos with many parents and families
claiming the kids have no choice but to walk due
to money.It will be a big concern for many parents
with increased traffic, there is always an increased
risk and the children’s safety is always number one,
to prove a point parents took it upon themselves to
boycott the bus which proved that huge tailbacks
resulting in students being late taking over an hour
to reach their schools.
Valencia city hall is on its way to solving the
dilemma with its first Safe School Route, police
and volunteers will oversee pupils who walk to

from and school creating safe environment and
efficiency to traffic.
However mothers stripped off at the end of
December for a racy calendar to raise the funds
needed to resume the school bus service that was
scrapped by cash-strapped authorities
The calendar, which shows the mothers in various
states of undress posing along the bus route,
has already sold thousands of copies and raised
awareness of the cuts to the education system
across Spain.

Benidorm Bobbys On The Beat
In the UK we take for granted police presence
and foot patrols but still value there importance
as a major deterrent, with a huge percentage of
Brits living and visiting Benidorm it only seems
fitting that the Town Hall and local Police have
introduced a new community police patrol
scheme.
Since January 7th there has been a new
community police patrol in Benidorm, they
patrol three specific areas in Benidorm, The Old
Town, The Avd Mediterraneo and Rincon de Loix,
they currently patrol in two shifts for the winter
period morning and evening and depending
on the needs of the Summer Season an extra
shift will be added to a day, evening and night time shift. The new community police service consists of
10 officers from the local police, two officers will also coordinate with the local police that patrol the beach
areas as well as the rural patrols operating in the estates and orchard areas ensuring good communications
between the teams.
Last year you could hardly see any local police walking the streets but you would catch the odd few on
Segways,
The mayor of Benidorm, Agustín Navarro, the first deputy mayor, Gema Amor, the Councillor for Public
Safety, José Vicente Marcel and several officers of the Local Police in Benidorm went out to introduce and
publicize the new service to residents and local businesses, they also presented cards with a phone number
to use incase of any problems establishing a relationship with the community and a direct contact without
having to go via the switchboard.

what´s On
Chinese Horoscope 2014:
What Does The Chinese Zodiac Say About Your Love Life
surveyed, snakes (51%) considered themselves lovers
of all things cooked (and sometimes raw). So if you
want to date a Snake, just know you'll always be full.
Horse (1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002):
The Planner
A horse is most likely to plan out every single detail
of his or her life, including their dating life. Horses like
to plan ahead, make reservations and never likely to
just go with the flow of things.
For the sake of love, it's always good to get a second
opinion especially with Valentine’s Day approaching.
So if you've already done the research on your
horoscope for 2014, it may be time to look at the
Chinese zodiac as well.
January 31 marks the beginning of the Chinese New
Year, so if finding love was on top of your resolution
list, we think it's only fair to start fresh (again).
But if you're already in a relationship, it could also
be a good idea to get to know what the future
holds for you and your partner for the year ahead.
And of course, take all of this with a pinch of salt
-all relationships should be based on trust and
communication, horoscopes merely give us an idea of
the alternatives.
So to get an insight into how each sign operates
during alone time, Match.com has put together a
survey of dating behaviours. Are you surprised with
your own sign? Let us know in the comments below.
Rat (1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008):
The Long-Distance Dater
Dating a rat? He or she isn't afraid of the distance.
More than half (53%) of singles born in the year
of the rat say that they would have a long distance
relationship, while 15% are willing to travel over eight
hours by plane to see their partners. Now that's
commitment.
Ox (1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009):
The Eternal Optimist
Want to date someone positive? Seek out an ox. Most
singles (88%) born in the year of the ox are selfproclaimed optimists. People born this year are more
likely to date a variety of people - whether they are
tall, short, rich or broke.
Tiger (1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010):
The Rash Actor
Tigers are fun, impulsive and adventurous. 51% of
surveyed tigers said they were spontaneous when it
came to dating. So if your second date takes place
at the end of a bungee cord, don't say we didn't warn
you.
Rabbit (1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011):
Living Life To The Fullest
If you're dating a rabbit, get ready for something
fancy. Rabbits are the most willing to spend big bucks,
with 43% spending at least 40 Euro per date. But
in the spirit of living life to the fullest , they are also
more likely to have one night stands and send sexts.
Dragon (1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012):
The Aloof Lover
Dragons don't like to cuddle. Period. Dragon
singles were more likely to opt out of getting cosy
and snuggly during dates. So if you're looking for
someone to curl up under a blanket with in front of
the TV, look somewhere else.
Snake (1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013):
The Foodie
Dating a snake? Don't forget your appetite. When
Ram (1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003):
The Loyal Partner
When it comes to relationships, rams are in it for
the long run. They are dedicated partners, with 74%
saying they believe you can stay married to the same
person forever. Aw.
Monkey (1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004):
The Old-School Dater
People born in the year of the monkey are keeping
it romantic. A whopping 91% of monkeys say they
would only date one person at a time and 51% say
they would never have a one-night stand.
Rooster (1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005):
The Peacocker
If you're into shopping and staying stylish, date a
rooster. People born in this year are more likely to buy
new clothes for every occasion.
Dog (1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006):
The Early Decider + Multiple Dater
Dogs are super decisive. 45% cent of dogs will decide
if a date is going well within the first 15 minutes and
they are most likely to make a decision about the
second date right away.
Pig (1947, 1959, 197, 1983, 1995, 2007):
The Quick Kisser
If you’re going on a date with someone born in the
year of the pig, then there’s a good chance you’re
getting a big fat smooch at the end of the night. An
overwhelming 87% believe it’s appropriate to kiss on
the first date.

Specsavers Opticas collects nearly
4,500 pairs of glasses for charity
and helps the world to see
On 10th October Specsavers Opticas launched a
campaign to collect 3,000 pairs of unwanted glasses
in just three months to be given to the Lions Club
International and distributed to those in need. This
campaign strove to give the gift of sight to some of
the world’s poorest people and the response has been
fantastic. 4,436 pairs of glasses have been donated
10
over the three month campaign across all eight
stores, well over the target!
José Ángel Moral-Tajadura, Specsavers Opticas’
Business Development Manager commented “We
would like to say a huge thank you to all the generous
people, the media and local organizations who have
helped support the campaign and donated their
unwanted glasses. Every pair will make a huge
difference to someone’s life.”
The glasses donated during the campaign will be sent
to the Lions Club’s recycling plant in Alicante where
they are first separated into single vision, bifocals,
varifocals and sunglasses. They are then graded
according to prescription strength, cleaned and boxed
for distribution.
Lions Club representatives are located across many
developing countries including Africa and India. They
test the eyes of locals and send requests for the
required prescription glasses onto the fulfilment plant.
Lions Club International collects around 70,000 pairs
of glasses to be re-dispensed every year, with each
one being donated and hand selected for specific
people in need.
Janette Bennett, president of the Torrevieja Costa
Lions Club commented: ‘There is always a shortage
of glasses in developing countries as they have
no medical support, so Specsavers’ donations
are absolutely vital to people with poor vision. It’s
amazing that they have been able to collect over
4,000 pairs in just 3 months, it will help so many
people to lead a fuller life and we are really grateful to
the company and the community for donating their
glasses to this great cause.’
Specsavers Opticas will continue to have a strong
relationship with the Lions Club and glasses can be
donated at any of their eight stores on the Costa del
Sol, Costa Blanca and Mallorca. To find your nearest

It’s all you need for a great read.
Your weekly Horoscope
ARIES
Apply yourself to taking judicious action instead of trying to get
a million things done at once on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday - otherwise you’ll end up feeling frenzies and getting very little
accomplished. By Thursday and Friday, you’ll discover a groove that feels
comfortable, productive and energizing to you. The more you listen to
your intuition, the more you’ll be able to do. Over the weekend, social
obligations crowd your daily planner. Pick and choose. Attend only those
activities that really get you excited.
CANCER
A tactic that will make your life easier is to take nothing personally,
especially during the first half of this week. One day everyone may
be singing your praises, while another the world at large is indifferent,
but none of that has any real bearing on who you are as a person. The
second half of the week is about looking at the details in your relationships. Overall, things are working very well, but there might be a
small matter here and there that requires fine-tuning. Socialize over the
weekend. You love to have fun, especially with family.
LIBRA
TAURUS
Make an effort to see the issue from the other person’s point of
view on Monday. Sure, you may not understand the emotions he
or she is having, but it’s important that you acknowledge the validity of
them. Tuesday and Wednesday are all about finding creative solutions,
hopefully before a situation becomes a problem. Be kind and do a few
good deeds from behind the scenes on Thursday and Friday. Anything
community-oriented (recycling, charity drives, composting) is a good idea.
Strike a balance between disseminating information and sharing silence.
What’s more frightening than a dream that doesn’t come true?
One that does. During the first half of the week, you start to see
some very big payoffs from all your recent efforts, and that can feel overwhelming. Take a deep breath and slow down. If necessary, use Thursday
and Friday to attend only to small, daily tasks and put the bigger issues
on the back burner. Use the weekend to talk to people who have gone on
this same path before you. They’ll have great advice on how to handle
your much-deserved ‘overnight’ success.
You’re in a ruminative mood at week’s start, thinking about the
relationships you have in your life. On Wednesday, if you find
yourself thinking about friendships, loves and family members who have
come and gone, give them (and yourself) a break by reserving judgment
and realizing that there are always multiple versions of the truth. Being
so adult about matters of the heart makes you feel more like yourself on
Thursday and Friday, and that is something to be celebrated. Fortunately,
the weekend offers plenty of opportunities to do just that. Gather your
favorite companions together.
LEO
SCORPIO
On Monday you realize that there’s a big difference between
taking action and reacting. The former is calm and cares about
doing the right thing, no matter how it looks. The latter has
qualities of over-compensation and worries about how other people will
react. You have the courage of your convictions by midweek, thanks to
this epiphany, and you do what’s best for all parties involved. By Friday,
you see miraculous results - listening to your intuition and following it is
scary, but it pays off in numerous ways. Use the weekend for doing what
you do best: talking, laughing and enjoying life.
A great scientist once wrote, ‘Nothing is too wonderful to be
true.’ Adopt that as your motto. If you can’t see the truth of it on
Monday, you will by Wednesday at the latest. True, that realization may
be one you have to fight for, but once you commit yourself to it, you’ll
see that it’s right on. Thursday and Friday are all about consolidating
your gains, from the smallest details to the biggest overview of the big
picture. Use the weekend for socializing. While you’re a stalwart soul
who thrives in solitude, you also need to bask in the love of your family
and friends.
One of the most common (and consistently false) assumptions
people make is that everyone else has it together. The first half of
the week, make a conscious effort to break out of that mindset.
Seeing yourself and your fellow human beings with compassion helps
with that task. Thursday and Friday are good times to make an art form
out of commonly tossed-off things: How well can you craft that memo?
Could you possibly have perfected the art of efficient recycling? The
weekend is leisurely and filled with friends - how lovely!
It’s time to take action on your own behalf on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday. That means no more procrastinating - read a
book or play with the dog instead of zoning out in front of the TV, and eat
well instead of eating to feel full. Taking proper care of yourself can be a
brave, if not revolutionary, act. The last two days of the week are a good
time to see how you can juggle your schedule so you have more time for
nourishment on all levels: mental, spiritual, emotional and physical. Get
used to seeking balance, finding it, losing it and then finding it again over
the weekend.
CAPRICORN
GEMINI
It’s important to say thank you - not just to others out of courtesy,
although that’s always nice, but to yourself and the universe at
large for all the loveliness, large and small, that you encounter every day.
Use the first part of the week to be consciously grateful for things like a
particularly speedy commute, the joke your grandmother tells you and
the fact that your dry cleaner found your watch in your pants pocket. The
last part of the week is a good time to get domestic. The more you feel
grounded, the better off you are. Seeking balance is your task over the
weekend.
AQUARIUS
VIRGO
SAGITTARIUS
Be creative about what you consider to be positive events during
the first half of the week. Sure, winning the lottery might be nice,
but getting a seat on the bus, a great cup of tea and a long conversation
with an old friend actually have a lot more impact on your day-to-day life.
In other words, being grateful for items that might be considered trivial
actually increases your capacity for happiness. The more you practice
this, the more you’ll see its joyous ripple effects, especially during the
last half of the week and over the weekend.
PISCES
On Monday, something you’ve been denying about yourself comes
to you in the form of fate. Make an attempt to get the cosmic joke
on Tuesday, and by Wednesday you’ll see that this is a grand opportunity,
just wearing a slightly bizarre costume. Thursday and Friday are excellent
times to take solid action. They don’t have to be big actions, but they do
have to fall under the category of useful and constructive. Use the weekend to enjoy all the relationships in your life, from the long and deep to
the light and superficial.

If so, the cause may be a simple one but can as easily
be a medical condition that requires attention.
Some of the causes include:
• Take frequent sips of cold water. Always have a
glass of water next to you when you go to bed.
• Suck ice-cubes.
• Chew sugar-free chewing gum.
• Eat pineapple chunks or partly frozen melon
• Suck boiled sweets. Preferably sugar free!
• Try to cut down on caffeine.
• Medication. A dry mouth can be a side effect
of several medications For example, tricyclic
antidepressants, antihistamines, antimuscarinic
drugs, some antiepileptic drugs, some antipsychotics,
betablockers, and diuretics ('water tablets')
• Radiotherapy to the head or neck. Radiotherapy can
damage the salivary glands.
Once the cause has been treated, you may be
free of this unpleasant problem but where it is not
possible to get rid of symptoms completely, there
are treatments that can help such as artificial saliva
or medication that stimulates your own saliva
production. Your Doctor will be able to advise you on
suitable treatments.

Sony Xperia Z Ultra Wi-Fi
The previously-unannounced
Sony Xperia Z Ultra Wi-Fi only
variant has been launched in
Japan, with the tablet hitting
store shelves on January 24.
The 6.4-inch Xperia Z Ultra WiFi only model is available at
52,000 yen, or roughly Rs. 31,000,
and is listed on the company's
Japanese website. However,
the international pricing and
availability of the Wi-Fi only variant
of Sony Xperia Z Ultra is yet to be
revealed.
The users will get the same
hardware specs as seen in Xperia
Ultra's international variant, which
is already available in the market,
without the 3G / LTE radio. The
tablet runs on Android 4.2 Jelly
Bean OS and is equipped with
2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon
800 SoC, 2GB of RAM, a 1080x1920
pixel 344ppi Triluminos display,
all incorporated in a 6.5mm sleek
body. The smartphone is available
in White and Black colour variants.
Talking about Xperia models, a new
report regarding the rumoured
Sony Xperia Z2 or D5603 "Sirius"
points to the numerous Xperia UI
changes
expected to
be skinned
on top of Android
4.4 KitKat when the
device ships.
The screenshots were first
spotted by Xperia Blog, which
also detailed the new features.
Some of the features said to
be included are 4K recording,
Timeshift video, smart backlight
control, the presence of two
home launchers, USB DAC audio
support, and more.
One of the expected features,
seen previously in Xperia Tablet
Z, is the ability to wake up the
screen by double tapping on it
(also similar to LG Knock). An
answering machine feature
is also said to come with
the rumoured Xperia Z2's
dialler. The Xperia Blog also
states that users will be able to
choose the type of greeting.

advantage alternating from one year to the next.
Two points are awarded for a win, one for a draw
and none for a loss and unlike most other rugby
union competitions the bonus point system is not
used. the BBC will be the perfect place to follow the
2014 RBS 6 Nations with every match shown live on
BBC One and BBC One HD. last year's tournament

Championship
tuning in to see Wales clinch the crown by beating
England.
Several individual competitions take place under the
umbrella of the Six Nations tournament. The oldest
is the Calcutta Cup, which has been running since
1879 and is contested annually between England and
Scotland.
The Millennium Trophy has been awarded to the
winner of the game between England and Ireland
with the first presented in 1989, and in the same year,
the Centenary Quaich was contested between Ireland
and Scotland for the first time.
Since 2007, France and Italy have also contested for
their own silverware - the Giuseppe Garibaldi Trophy.
It was created to honour the 200th anniversary of
the birth of Giuseppe Garibaldi, who helped unify Italy
and was also a French military general.
A special preview programme, Inside 6 Nations,
will be broadcast before each weekend of the
tournament on the BBC News Channel.
Good Week
Juan more chance
Juan Mata has another chance to lift his club career
after not playing enough in the last six months at
Chelsea. Mata has been Chelsea’s player of the year
for the past two seasons but that was still not enough
for him to be a key part of Mourinho´s plans. With
the World Cup approaching this move was extremely
important for the Spaniard; he is believed to make his
Debut against Cardiff tonight.
Didyou know?
• The idea of a Trophy for the Six Nations
Championship was first thought of by the Earl
of Westmorland, and was first presented in 1993
to France (the winners that season). It is held in
trust by the Six Nations Championship Trophy
Trust.
• There are fifteen sides to the Trophy,
representing each player, and three handles
representing each official i.e the referee and two
touch judges. Around the wooden base of the
Trophy is the emblem of each of the six national
unions.
• The capacity of the Trophy is exactly five
bottles of champagne, one for each of the
original Five Nations, and the trophy has a lip at
the rim, designed so that it is easy to drink from.

Pain in the...Back
Injured Rafa Nadal suffered a sensational defeat in the
final of the Australian Open to Stanislas Wawrinka.
The Spaniard was in tears in court from the pain of
a back injury and then mounted a brave third set
fightback. The world No 1 lost 6-3 6-2 3-6 6-3 in two
hours and 21 minutes. The new Swiss No 1 had never
even taken a set off the Spaniard in their previous 12
meetings.

ALFAZ FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE
There were few upsets in the 13 F.A.Cup Ties at the Weekend
although there was nearly one but Manchester City's Sergio
Aguero put paid to that with a 2nd Half-Trick against the
stinging Hornets.1 Monday Night game along with those Cup
Ties contributed to the Fantasy League a total of 33 goals,8
clean sheets,only 22 yellow cards and I'm glad to say no red
ones. Top spot for the Fantasy League 2nd week running
goes to one of our Junior Managers Abby's Brigade who
now have a 16 point advantage over Angie's Blues. Ann's
Golden Girls are in 3rd place 1 point infront of Neil's Team
Blue Moon Rising Again.Heidi's Pot Luckers are still holding
everybody else up at the foot of the Table. Golden Boot
League which is sponsored by Leonard Knowles Construction
is being dominated by Abby's Brigade who have a massive
78 point advantage over Angie's Blues. With a strike force of
Liverpool's S A S and Manchester City's Aguero it's hard to
see anybody overtaking them. At the other end of the scale
Ben's Boys are just 2 points behind Irish Tommy's Team
The Unsocialables. Not much to report on our Junior League
where Abby's Brigade and Ben's Boys have pretty much have
the top and bottom places sewn up. Abby's Brigade have a
lead of 81 points while Ben's Boys are trailing the nearest
team by 80 points. The most exciting Division is our Mark
