This month I wanted to share
with you what is probably thebiggest change to Life Insurance
premiums since tax relief on premiums
was abolished in 1984
It is all to do with the practice of gender-
based pricing used by insurers to calculate
the premiums we pay. But it is a practice that
is about to be outlawed thanks to a landmark
ruling a ruling that will soon affect how much
you pay for insurance or get from your pensionfund.
The European Court of Justice in Luxembourg
has ruled that using differences between men
and women as a risk factor in setting premiums
or car and medical insurance and pension
schemes breaches EU rules on equality. Taking
the gender o the insured individual into account
as a risk actor in insurance contracts constitutes
discrimination, the court said in a statement.
How it will affect you will depend on your age,
medical condition and gender, although it isanticipated that more men than women will
be better o as a result.
I you have a teenage son you
will be all too aware of the
sky-high cost of insurance.
I you have a daughter
of a similar age, youll
be relieved to learn
that although it is still
expensive, premiumsare lower for young
emale drivers.
Younger female drivers
pay signi icantly less than
their male counterparts
because they are less likely to be
involved in accidents and therefore,
less likely to make a claim.
But while the equalisation of motor premiums

will make all the headlines because of its mass-
market need, all insurance policies from life
cover to private medical insurance
will be impacted.
With li e insurance and
pens on annu t es,
he di erence in
premiums or bene its
can be explained by
differences in the
li e expectancy omen and women.
Owing to their
lower mortality risk,
women beneit from
lower premiums on li e
insurance, but because
hey will live longer they will
get a lower annuity income from
their pension.
Policies that are up and
running before December 21 will not be
a ected by the ruling and so it may pay to
rev ew your s tuat on now.
The savings could be considerable, particularly
once you factor in the length of the policy.
Experts suggest that the cost o li e cover and
critical illness rates or both men and women
could rise by around 25 per cent (ABI News
Release, 1 March 2011).
The inability for insurers to use gender willnot necessarily make pricing fairer, but it will
make insurance more expensive for many and
reduce pension income for many too. Its why
you should act sooner rather than later.

THERE is a certain chill to the air in
Hoole. The wind in the summer seems
so much softer and more welcome
than that of the autumn that is stripping the
leaves from our trees, stinging our faces and
making us wish we had put on that extra
layer - even if the sun did show its face thismorning. But the chill I am carrying around
with me this month is more psychological
than physical. As orange faces continue to
rin at me throughout Hoole, from leftover
Halloween posters rather than the warm
relective glow of Sainsburys, I am reminded
of all that goes bump in the night.
Moving to a 100-year-o terrace ouse, I was
prepared for the night-time knocking and creaking.
Such sounds come as part of the territory. They
are the expanding or cooling of pipes, wood and
all that is normal rather than paranormal. They
add character to a house that has already housed a
number of families over the decades and although
I am not one to believe stories of grey ladies or
sinister Asian girls climbing out of my TV, I am
intrigued by history and believe that a certain
amount of energy must have soaked into the
alls that now house me an much like the smell
of burnt toast long after the actual toast has beentossed away, you are still aware of it existence.
When I irst decided to take the plunge, pack
my thermals and move up north, I knew Hoole
ould be my inal destination. My signiicant
other was already living just off Faulkner Street
so I was no stranger to the neighbourhood and
hen we started our search for suitable rented
accommodation, the sales patter included up
and coming along with trendy and fashionable.
It also introduced us to a different side of theneighbourhood.
We viewed a number of houses that were in need
of some TLC and it was in the bedroom of one
of these houses that the estate agent introduced
us to the idea of sharing the house. We had been
standing on the thinning purple carpet chatting
about the need to gain permission from the
andlord to repaint the turquoise walls for quite
some time w en t e stairs crea e in ivi ua y
in a way that gave the impression that somebodyelse had come up to join us. The sound was so
convincing that all three of us turned to the door
to welcome whoever was about to walk in. I even
walked to the bedroom door but found the landing,
bathroom and second bedroom empty.
Sinister
I was prepared to shrug it off as spooky but
the estate agent acknowledged the event as
something more sinister and sighed well, I guessyou wont be taking this one then before launching
into a number of stories about similar houses in
neighbouring towns and villages that he had tried
to sell in the past. We shut the front door on this
one fully entertained by his various creepy tales
and thought no more of it until we found the ideal
ouse, moved in, sat on the sofa and gazed up out
of the window to see the offending property a few
doors down on the opposite side of the road - the
to let sign still clamped to brickwork beside the
front door.
Over the past three years it has sat empty more
than it has been inhabited. Maybe the same estate
agent has planted the idea of a supernatural tenant
only visible through the relection of mirrors in
photographs and anybody taking ownership of
the keys have opted for short term leases. To the
best of my knowledge four months has been the
longest tenancy which is probably a headache for
the landlord but is perfect ingredients for when we
retell of our experience.
Last week, I was able to captivate a group of
frien s with the tale while we nurse our eers in
the Brom (Bromield Arms) only to be interrupted

Some musings about Hoole with Andy Medcraft
by a woman at a neighbouring table who
em e is e on w at was a rea y a notewort y
account perfect for the wet and blustery October
night. She claimed that earlier that same week
she had been talking to a Welsh man at the bar
about the very same house. He had told her he
owned the property but due to its reputation, itwas sat empty costing im more money t at t an
it brought in. He informed her he now lived in a
South African country and although she could not
quite remember its name, she had several stabs at
it ranging from Marble Arch to my friends slightly
intoxicated contribution of Zumba.
Infamous
According to her, he had been forced to return
o the UK to check on the property and decidewhether or not to put it on the market and rid
himself of it once and for all. She then claimed he
had offered to buy her and her friend a drink but
never returned from the bar. She gave us a look
hat I think was meant to evoke a sinister fear
or suspense but gave her a slightly constipated
expression before she turned away and carried
on her previous conversation with her drinking
partners.
We made our way home, past the infamoushouse with its dark empty windows and those
neighbouring it with lickering pumpkins sat on
he seals and the cold wind whispering to our
imaginations. It was thrilling and the vanishing
Welsh landlord added to the mystery although, at
at stage, I pro a y wou not ave inc u e it
as part of my retelling but coincidence and/or my
over active imagination has added another page to
he story.
I decided to google the house to see if there wasany history (grizzly or other) but drew blanks.
Apart from a million and one links to varying
property buying/renting websites offering
information on prices for the house and other
similar in the same and neighbouring postcodes
and breaking news of a homeless shelter causing
much distress to the majority of my currentneighbours, there was little else to offer any clout
to the rumours. To be honest, I wasnt expecting
anything else but just before I closed the web
browser, I noticed the street name contained in
what looked like a quote from a book.
clicked and was rewarded with an electronic
scan of the page from a chapter called Early Life
and a shiver ran the length of my spine as I read
about the birth of a boy to a Welsh speaking family
back in 1908 during one of the coldest winters.Owing to the severe weather and the consequent
distress among the poorer members of the
community, soup kitchens were opened and gave
sustenance to the poor and homeless. His Grace,
the Duke of Westminster ensured his New Years
gift of a bag of coal was offered early and in this
house within a stones throw of the that with the
creaking stairs, this new born grew up to be a
British colonial administrator in Southern Africa,
later becoming governor of a landlocked countrySouth African known now as Malawi. Having
passed away at the ripe old age of 84 his inal
resting place is with his wife and son in Zomba.

HOOLE RANGERS FC
For more inormation about Hoole Rangers FC please contact Glyn Roberts
Mob: 07515 805966 e-mail: [email protected] Website:www. HooleRangersFC.com
HOO E Rangers FC 1st team only had
two fixtures in the last four weeks,
both were league games against
current premier champions, Kelsall.
The rst game, at home was a ast, exciting
match, both sides committed to attack, which
made a fantastic spectacle. With five minutes
to go, Hoole Rangers were leading by 3-2, but
unfortunately Kelsall scored two late goals to
win the game.
The return game at Kelsall two weeks later
started badly, with Kelsall making the most o
a very steep slope, and by half time, held a 2-0
lead. However, in the second half, Hoole rallied
and with ve minutes to go, were again winningthe game, this time by 4-3. However, lightning
struck twice and in the dying minutes, Kelsall
scored an undeserved equaliser, leaving the
final score at 4-4.
This was extremely disappointing, particularly
as if we had closed out both games, taking
an additional ve points, we would have been
sitting very nicely at top of the league.
However, on a positive note, the strong
competition this season means that all the topteams are dropping points, so we can still go
top of the league if we win our two games in
an .
Seconds
The 2nd team in Division One, have not
fared well in this period, once again taking the
brunt o the allout o several players being out
with injuries. They have lost all three games,
conceding 14 goals and scoring none, a very
worrying situation. However, morale appears to
remain relatively positive, and steps have been
taken within the club to improve the available
squad in terms o both numbers and quality,
plus trying to ensure the second team do not
always bear the pain for player shortages.
Changing rooms
n the changing room development, we are
waiting for Cheshire West and Chester council
to finalise 25 year lease arrangements for the
itch and changing rooms, necessary for us
to apply for grants to complete the pro ect;
once we have that, we can proceed with our
lanning Permission application. The Footballoun ation have also een consulte a out
unding and we believe that we have everything
ined up to get funds once Planning Permission
is approved.
Sponsors
As always, we are looking for sponsors this
season, helping fund items such as tracksuits,
atch balls, match fees etc. or maybe helping
with the changing room refurbishment project.any individuals or businesses are interested
in working with a very ambitious local football
club, please contact me on the e-mail or mobile
umber given below
Training is now on onday evenings 6.30 to
pm on the all weather pitches at Blacon High
school. If any new players want to join the
club with a view to playing this season, please
contact me on mo ile e-mail elow an w
advise how you can get involved.

LATE AUTUMN DELIGHTSARDENIN BY JANET HEA
OVEMBERapprec ate t e smaower ng or o age nterest n your

Flowers are in short supply so if you arelucky and have the right conditions for
rowing Nerines, then you may have someof their exotic pink owers still around. Theylike a well drained soil in sun such as at the
base of a wall to keep the frost from rottingthe bulbs.
I nd that perennials such as Pulmonariahave lovely leaves in autumn. They put outnew growth when the soil becomes wetterafter summer. They look lovely paired withHeuchera with deep red foliage to offset thesilver blotched leaves of the Pulmonaria..
Ferns also provide green in darker placesso consider the Asplenium or Harts Tongue
ferns with glossy green leaves or Polystichumsetiferum, the soft shield fern that will give afan of cool green colour.
Berries on Sorbus, the Mountain Ash maystill be around although the red berries seemto be eaten by birds rst but orange, yellowand cream berries are left well into winter.
Rose hips like little pot bellied pots on Rosarugosa varieties are bright red, bringing asplash of colour.
Jobs to do around the garden includenishing planting tulip bulbs which can go
in later than daffodils. Also gather up leavesfrom the lawn and those smothering smaller
plants. Stack them in a separate compost binor put in a bin liner to rot down. Keep theleaves moist to encourage rotting and after acouple of years you will have superb compost.
Ponds should be netted if they are neartrees to stop leaves falling into the waterand rotting. Remove any dead foliage fromwaterside plants and water lilies.
I cut down any dying foliage that will not look
ood when frosted but I tend to leave plantslike Sedums in place because their owerheads look lovely dusted with frost. Slightlytender plants can have foliage left in place toact as a mulch and protect them from coldtemperatures.
Dig up dahlia tubers, remove the foliageand store in a frost free and mouse free placeover winter to dry out. They can be planted inspring to grow again next year.

7/31/2019 Hoole Roundabout November 2012

EARLIER this year we celebrated the 50th Birthday of Sue, my wife, Iknow she doesnt look that old and next time you see her please say
so! We celebrated with family and friends and Sues sister had puttogether an amazing collage of photographs of Sue, which covered thesepast 5 decades.
As were looking through these photos, which recorded some specificmoments such as christenings, weddings, holidays, family visits anddifferent Christmas times we had great fun looking through the olderphotos as certain memories were stirred up as we remembered thestories and occasions that lay behind each of the photos.
To be able to remember is wonderful, the brains ability to store, retain,and recall information creates memories. As we get older memories become
more important to us, remembering our childhood, remembering lovedones who have passed away and remembering those special occassions wecelebrate within life. Of course not all memories are happy ones, one of theamazing dimensions of remembering is that emotions are attched to ourmemories, so when we remember someone or some event we encounterafreash the emotions that belong to that memory.
Words of Remember Remember refer to Guy Fawkes with origins in 17thcentury English history. On the 5th November 1605 Guy Fawkes was caught in the cellars of the Housesof Parliament with several dozen barrels of gunpowder. Guy Fawkes was subsequently tried as a traitorwith his co-conspirators for plotting against the government. Fawkes was sentenced to death and the
form of the execution was one of the most horrendous ever practised (hung, drawn and quartered)which reflected the serious nature of the crime of treason.
The following year in 1606 it became an annual custom for the King and Parliament to commission asermon to commemorate the event. This practice, together with the nursery rhyme, ensured that thiscrime would never be forgotten!
Then on Remembrance Day, the 11th November, this day chosen because it was the day that WorldWar One ended in 1918, when the armistice was signed in Northern France, at 5am. Six hours later,the fighting stopped, and to commemorate this there is a two-minute silence in the UK at 11am. Thisyear is a very special occasion as it will be 11am on the 11/11/11. The nearest Sunday to the 11th is calledRemembrance Sunday, when church services are held in honour of those involved in wars, and wreathsare laid on the memorials, which have a place in every town.
I dont know if youve ever given any thought to the fact that God remembers. God is omniscient, bydefinition. That means He knows everything there is to know. He knows everything that have happenedin the past. He knows what is happening at present. And He knows what will happen in the future. Thismeans that all we have done, good and bad, are all known to Him. He has perfect memory of each andevery thing including the wrong that weve committed.
When we remember some memories we will have feelings of regret and remorse, sometimes we wouldwish we could change something that was said or done by us or to us. By experiencing Gods forgivenesswe can move on from these feelings. God does not mysteriously and suddenly forget all the bad and
wrong things but because of the death of Jesus he chooses to remember them no more this is the hopeof the Christian faith, forgiveness from God via the experience of knowing Jesus enables us to forgiveand be forgiven so that we can be free from the effects of some of the bad memories that we so easilyremember and become entrapped within the emotions of these memories.
