NEW HOMES DEVELOPMENT IN CHRISTCHURCH

Work has just started on an exciting new housing development off Bronte Avenue in Christchurch. Miller Homes are delighted to be working in partnership with Raglan Housing Association to build a range of 38 homes.“There will be a mix of two, three and four bedroom family homes on the development which will be known as The Parsonage,” says John Taylor, Regional Sales Manager. “At this early stage, purchasers who would like to buy off plan can get the pick of the plots and have a say on personalising their new home depending on the build stage.” Richard Stevenson, Director of Business Development at Raglan Housing Association said, “We are delighted to be working with Miller Homes on The Parsonage. We selected Miller to work with us due to

their commitment to quality and strong track record in delivering excellent market and affordable homes. This scheme cements Raglan’s strong commitment to delivering new homes in Dorset and came about due to close collaborative working with Christchurch Borough Council members and officers”. If education is an important consideration you will be well catered for in both the Primary and Secondary school sector. You will be pleased to know that The Parsonage is in the Twynham School area which received an ‘outstanding’ report at the last Ofsted inspection. To register your interest and to find out more details about this development call 0870 336 4200 or contact the selling agents, Connells, on 01202 483344.

Along with the glorious sun that Bournemouth has been enjoying recently has come the exciting new Martin & Co branding that has now been spread across all of their franchises! The Bournemouth office has now been refurbished with new exterior signage and a modern interior style with extra advertising visibility for their available properties. With the new branding comes many more benefits and services for all of our clients. Many of our offices will be introducing the Martin & Co Sales Services, which will incorporate a whole new way of selling your property and the long term care of your property investments! The full sales roll out is expected in September

2012. In addition, there are more Landlord offers than ever before, including our now well acclaimed ’21 Day Promise’ and a free visual electrical test on newly instructed managed properties. Upon being asked what the new branding meant to the Bournemouth office, Kim Bartlett the Branch Manager replied, “It is a fantastic opportunity to reaffirm to our current, new and future clients that Martin & Co Bournemouth are constantly refreshing their services to suit the local environment and property market. We insist on our services suiting individual requirements and the result of this means that we have happy landlords, happy

tenants and well maintained properties. The soon to be introduced sales service will again focus on the individual requirements of sellers to ensure they receive the service they seek. It is exciting times for the Bournemouth office and the team and we are looking forward to welcoming our clients into our modern and innovative style of business!”If you would like to discuss your property requirements with the Martin & Co Bournemouth office please call us on 01202 559922 or email [email protected].

LIVING ARCHITECTURE

HOLIDAYS IN MODERN ARCHITECTURE

Two years ago the writer and philosopher, Alain de Botton set up Living Architecture. De Botton is the author of a number of books on subjects as diverse as love, travel and philosophy but it was after the publication of “The Architecture of Happiness” and the subsequent tours and talks he did, that he became convinced of a “desire to shift perceptions of modern architecture”. Living Architecture was hence born and exists to give people the chance to holiday in exemplary examples of modern architecture, commissioning some of the finest architects in the world, in the hope the public might start to warm to the contemporary again.

So far Living Architecture have four properties dotted about the British countryside, including two properties in Suffolk; The Dune House by Norwegian practice Jarmund / Vigsnæs Architects and The Balancing Barn by Dutch outfit MVRDV; The Long House in Norfolk by Sir Michael and Lady Patty Hopkins, and this property, The Shingle House in Dungeness by Scottish firm NORD. They’ve also recently completed a temporary place perched on top of Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, entitled “A Room for London” by David Kohn. The oddball looking Retreat by Peter Zumthor is due for completion next year.

The Shingle House is sited on one of the most unusual and poetic landscapes in England, on the shingle beach of Dungeness, near Romney Marsh. The vast beach contains a random collection of fisherman's huts (many of them owned by artists, including - most famously - the late film-maker Derek Jarman), two lighthouses and the terminus of a miniature coastal steam train. The entire beach is classified as a nature reserve and is filled with unusual flora and is a haven for a plethora of birdlife.

NORD (Northern Office for Research and Design), responded to the natural drama of the site with a simple monumental black house, finished in tarred black shingles on the outside and in a beautiful palette of concrete and timber within. Sleeping 8 people, it makes for a stunning secluded holiday in a dramatic landscape, who said British holidays were boring?!

The site in Dungeness was challenging, with an unstable shingle bed, extremes of sun, rain and wind and numerous government regulations. Dungeness is Britain’s only desert, a shingle wasteland punctuated by hardy, brightly coloured plants. It is home to a peculiar assortment of buildings and activities, from tiny fishermen’s huts to a giant nuclear power station by way of lighthouses and a miniature steam railway.

So far Living Architecture have four properties dotted about the British countryside, including two properties in Suffolk; The Dune House by Norwegian practice Jarmund / Vigsnæs Architects and The Balancing Barn by Dutch outfit MVRDV; The Long House in Norfolk by Sir Michael and Lady Patty Hopkins, and this property, The Shingle House in Dungeness by Scottish firm NORD. They’ve also recently completed a temporary place perched on top of Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, entitled “A Room for London” by David Kohn. The oddball looking Retreat by Peter Zumthor is due for completion next year.

The Shingle House is sited on one of the most unusual and poetic landscapes in England, on the shingle beach of Dungeness, near Romney Marsh. The vast beach contains a random collection of fisherman's huts (many of them owned by artists, including - most famously - the late film-maker Derek Jarman), two lighthouses and the terminus of a miniature coastal steam train. The entire beach is classified as a nature reserve and is filled with unusual flora and is a haven for a plethora of birdlife.

NORD (Northern Office for Research and Design), responded to the natural drama of the site with a simple monumental black house, finished in tarred black shingles on the outside and in a beautiful palette of concrete and timber within. Sleeping 8 people, it makes for a stunning secluded holiday in a dramatic landscape, who said British holidays were boring?!

NORD's reference points for the 'Shingle House' are both the local vernacular style and the traditional building method of wrapping a structure in one continuous material. The external skin of the house is entirely 'cloaked' with a combination of tarred timber cut shingles and timber boards.

Inside, The Shingle House is calming and robust, featuring 4 double bedrooms. On the ground floor, the living room features a large concrete fireplace with views out across the Dungeness shingle. In addition to a bathroom with a shower, there is a large private bath house where visitors can soak in a black polished concrete sunken bath, set within a Purpleheart timber floor, whilst looking out over the landscape. Beyond the bath house is the kitchen and dining area. From the dining table a large wall of glass can be opened to the outside, and in the kitchen a second wall of glazing opens on to a hidden and sheltered courtyard area, ideal for al fresco eating or taking in the sun.

A small garden surrounds the property, allowing further outdoor space to relax and enjoy the Dungeness environment. From here you can wave to the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch miniature railway as it passes by the end of the garden. The Shingle House is masterful, not only in it’s execution, but the concept of providing architecturally outstanding properties for holidays is a unique proposition that is sure to draw in the crowds. This my friends, is UK holidaying in style.

DIY EXPERT

While painted floorboards look stunning, they’re not generally as practical as varnished or stained boards because, depending on the colour, paint is more likely to show up dirt and marks. It can also get chipped, which is annoying unless you like the shabby-chic look. However, painting boards is easy to do yourself and the end result outweighs any negatives. Period floorboards often have modern boards mixed in where repairs have been done over the years, and painting them makes it easier to disguise the new ones than with stain or varnish, although there may be a difference in the wood grain.

If the boards are in good condition, you should just be able to use a wood scraper and sandpaper or handheld electric sander to clean them off and make them smooth. Remember to bang down any protruding nails with a nail punch and hammer, and remove staples or other remnants of the previous floor covering. After sanding and scraping the boards, clean them thoroughly with a vacuum cleaner and if they’re still dusty, wipe them over with methylated spirits. If you leave dust and debris on them, it will spoil the finish, so clean them thoroughly first and also between coats of paint, if necessary. Dust

and debris will have gathered in the gaps between the boards too. To clean them out, run a butter knife down them. Alternatively, use a powerful vacuum cleaner, which will do the job quickly and easily for you - the Bosch PAS 11-21 vacuum cleaner, £114.95, www.diytools.co.uk, works well. If the boards are in such a bad state that only sanding with an industrial floor sander will do, this is much more of a mission. Hiring a sander (and an edger) isn’t particularly expensive, but it’s hot, hard and dusty work and you may feel that once you’ve gone to all that effort, it’s a shame to cover the newly sanded boards with paint.

Assuming you are painting them, a quick-drying floor paint, especially a water-based one, is ideal if you need to use the room again soon. If you can close the door and wait a few days, a solvent-based paint may be better. While it’s certainly recommended to use a specialist floor paint, you could use ordinary wood paint and protect it with clear (non-yellowing) varnish (try Ronseal Perfect Finish Diamond Hard Floor Varnish in Clear Satin, £49.98 for 2.5ltr, B&Q). However, bear in mind that the paint’s not designed to be walked on, so while it might be a cheaper option, it could be a false economy in the long run.

HOW TO TRANSFORM YOUR HOME WITH PAINTED FLOORBOARDS

HOW-TO TIPWhen preparing wooden floorboards before painting them, you may find that patches are splintery and can’t be sanded smooth.

Cover them with wood filler, and sand when set, as you don’t want to injure bare feet once the floor’s in use.

Yellow stains can also be a problem - if they keep showing through the paint, use a stain block, such as Polycell Stain Stop.

With newer boards, it’s important to seal the knots with knotting solution to prevent the resin in them from bleeding through the paint.

Apply a couple of coats, one horizontally and one vertically. And don’t forget to use wood primer/undercoat on the floorboards (whatever their age) before the topcoat.

Dilute the primer/undercoat with about 10% of white spirit, so it penetrates the wood better.

Try Polycell Stain Stop, £11.48 For 1ltr, B&Q.

• Watering! Particularly containers, and new plants - preferably with grey recycled water or stored rainwater.

• Prune late summer flowering shrubs after flowering

• Prune your Wisteria• Harvest sweetcorn and other vegetables

as they become ready• Deadhead flowering plants regularly• Keep your ponds and water features

topped up• Use a liquid feed on your lawn to help

against all that use they should now be getting

• Keep a good look out for any signs of Insect or Fungus attacks on your crops

• Spray your Roses at regular intervals against Black Spot & Insects (prevention rather than cure)

Normally I would recommend that you treat your lawn now with Provado Lawn Grub Killer which you would normally apply in May or June which coincides with the egg laying period for this pest, but you would need to know what the Greenthumb company has already used as you would not want to duplicate any applications.

On the issue of the brown patches there are various patch kits you can use depending on the type of lawn you have and it’s situation i.e. in a shady area or sunny. There is a very good information website that would be worth a look at for you from our lawn seed supplier which is www.johnsonslawnseed.com and you can down load a video.

GARDEN DOCTOR

I am worried about my lawn. I have Leather-jacket Chafer Grubs attacking the lawn. I have had the lawn treated by Greenthumb but there are large patches of brown dying grass. What can I do about these patches and how can I improve the quality of my grass?

Think...

Amanda Lamb is back with a new series of You Deserve This House. She talks about the programme, as well as her dream project and her thoughts about the unique tribute song Harry Hill devised for her on TV Burp.

FOR THOSE WHO’VE NEVER SEEN YOU DESERVE THIS HOUSE, CAN YOU SUM THE PREMISE UP?

It is a makeover show with a heart. We help the nation’s unsung heroes, the people who spend the majority of their lives looking after others, whether they’re carers, or work for charities, or have disabled children. We send them away on a spa break for two days so we can get in and tackle their houses. It’s just a really nice, feelgood programme. By the end of it, I challenge you not to blub. Most people I know end up in bits!

IT OFTEN SEEMS AS IF YOU MUST SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME IN TEARS

I’m utterly useless - I readily admit that. At home, I cry at anything - adverts, when I watch my daughter sleeping... I’m such a soft touch! Most of the time I try to hold it together, because I think this is not the time or place to start blubbing, but it doesn’t always work.

THE SHOW SHOULD BE SPONSORED BY A TISSUE MANUFACTURER!

It really should, absolutely! Sometimes it gets the lot - I look around the room and the cameramen have gone, and the runners, and everybody. You always know that when the cameraman cries, it must be a really good story.

IS IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE MAKEOVERS SECRET FROM THOSE TAKING PART?

Fortunately for us, that’s not our problem - it’s the problem of the people who live with our subjects. But it became more difficult after the whole Harry Hill incident, which came about while we were filming - and we had, I think, another 10 or 12 shows to film. Let’s face it, half the nation watches TV Burp, so I was just thinking, ‘Please don’t let our subject watch it!’

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF HARRY HILL’S TRIBUTE?

I loved it. I was quite gobsmacked actually. I’m a huge fan, I just adore him, I think he’s so funny and so clever, so to be picked on by Harry Hill is probably one of the biggest accolades you can get. It was just fantastic.

HOW DID YOU GET THE JOB OF PRESENTING

YOU DESERVE THIS HOUSE?

The production company that makes the show pitched the idea to Channel 4 with my name attached to it, and it just went from there. For me, it’s got absolutely every element in it that I adore - human interest stories, property and interiors, so I’m in my element. I saw so many ideas for my own house!

YOUR NEW HUSBAND MUST WISH YOU’D NEVER LANDED THIS GIG!

He’s just happy that I’ve decided to stay in the house, because property has always been in my blood. I used to get itchy feet, and for the last year, I was saying, ‘I think we should move’, but then I realised I just love our home, so we’re staying put. I think he’s just happy we’re not about to pack everything in boxes again.

WERE THERE ANY EPISODES THAT REALLY STOOD OUT FOR YOU?

One of the episodes was with a woman called Alice Halstead who has a rare form of diabetes. She’s 21 years old and spent three years in hospital, and we stunned her by redoing her study, bedroom and kitchen. When I was 21, the only thing I was bothered about was whether my hair looked all right or whether the car was going to start, but she spends her time trying to raise funds for a charity called Rays of Sunshine, which grants wishes to ill children. So many people moan if they get just a cough or cold, but she doesn’t ever complain. But they’re all very special in their own way.

WHY DO YOU THINK PROPERTY PROGRAMMES ARE SO POPULAR?

I think as a nation we are obsessed with owning our properties. It’s very much our domain, our kingdom, so I think we’ll always be interested in property. And also we have such an amazing history with property in this country, we have Victorian, to Queen Anne, to Georgian, to old converted warehouses... There’s such an eclectic mix here, which I think you don’t get in that many other countries.

YOU STARTED OUT AS A MODEL, BUT DID YOU ALWAYS HAVE A TV CAREER IN MIND?

When I left school I went straight to work in an estate agency for four years, and then became a model. TV never crossed my mind. It was my agent who thought I’d be really good at it, and in the end I put a showreel together, mainly to shut her up because she kept hassling me. I became disillusioned with modelling and didn’t want to do that any more, and went back

to college to train to be a teacher. The day I went back to college was the day I got a call to audition for A Place In The Sun, so it was very strange, quite serendipitous.

YOU MUST STILL BE THANKING THAT AGENT PROFUSELY NOW

Oh yes! Well, she’s still my agent - all these years down the line and she’s still with me.

DO YOU HAVE A DREAM PROJECT?

Oh gosh! I’d love to carry on doing what I’m doing, but I’d also love to do a travel show based in this country. I’m passionate about the UK and, when the sun shines, I think it’s very hard to beat. Anything to do with history, architecture and the countryside - getting paid to travel the length and breadth of the nation would be lovely!

YOU GOT MARRIED RECENTLY...

I did. It’s all very new... we lived together for ages, and we met making A Place In The Sun. But it does feel very different. It’s been lovely, getting used to the new surname and everything. I’m getting used to being a Mrs now as well. I keep saying “my boyfriend”, then having to stop myself and say, “my husband” instead.

WILL YOU BE CHANGING YOUR NAME FOR WORK TOO?

No. I think the only person who has managed to do that successfully has been Gabby Logan. I would have said Cheryl Cole as well, but that’s not been quite so successful in other ways, has it? So no, I shall stick to Lamb for professional stuff.

YOU’VE RECENTLY TAKEN UP YOGA TOO, HAVEN’T YOU?

When I was filming You Deserve This House, my work-life balance was completely out because I was working six or seven days a week. I have a rule where I’m not away from home more than two nights on the trot because we have our daughter, Willow, but I knew I needed to redress this, so I decided to do my first yoga class for three or four years and it was a roaring success, so I will be back for more. I’m trying to create a balance between everything - being a wife, a mum, a girl and a TV presenter, so yoga’s my hour out of my day to just ‘be’.

It's 16 years since the Spice Girls burst onto the scene in a whirl of bright colours, big hair, platform trainers and catchy tunes.

Ginger, Baby, Sporty, Scary and Posh knew exactly who they wanted to be - dressing, saying and doing what they pleased.

They were top of the pops, scoring nine UK number ones and selling 75 million records worldwide, but they were down to earth too, and sexy but not sexualised. Girls all over the world wanted to be them and Girl Power was born. These days Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, Melanie Brown and Victoria Beckham have babies of their own, successful solo projects and much classier clothes than they wore back in the glory years. But reunited at the hotel where they filmed their debut video Wannabe, this time to promote their musical Viva Forever!, they are still the Spice Girls we know and love. "It feels very natural when we get back together," says Bunton.

We giggle like children. We regress, we turn into kids... we have fun

As if to prove a point, they all start talking over each other and laughing. "We actually do have quite a good time together when it's just us lot," declares Halliwell, dispelling recent rumours of a rift. Despite being the smallest Spice Girl, she is definitely the loudest - sitting as she is at the head of the table and talking excitedly over the others. "Only we're allowed to criticise each other, no one else, it's like family," she adds. The rift may all be rumour but, if so, the pressure to prove it wrong does sometimes show among the group. Occasionally, when Beckham and Halliwell interrupt one another, they make a show of patting each other and gushing: "Sorry. No, you go first." Beckham seems shy as she sits at the end, playing with her hair, smiling (not pouting) at things the others say and offering careful, serious contributions. Brown constantly cackles over the others and occasionally chips in with something cheeky, which prompts Chisholm to tut like a mother hen and add something sensible. Bunton is just sweet and chirpy and happy to go along with it all. Halliwell appears to have been the driving force at getting the musical, written by Jennifer Saunders and produced by Mamma Mia! creator

Judy Craymer, off the ground, but they say they were all keen to see it happen.

"I don't think it took any convincing at all," says Chisholm earnestly. "It's something we've spoken about a lot over the years. I think that our music lends itself very well to theatre."

Beckham adds: "We've always said if we do this we want to work with the best people, because that's what we've always done. Everything we've done, we've done properly. And we've got the A-team. So we're very excited about it." Knowing they wanted an original story that used their songs, not a musical about the band, they set their sights on Craymer, impressed by what she had done with Abba musical Mamma Mia!Halliwell sent her an email asking for her help and then she and Bunton laid on the charm. "Emma and I got her round in my kitchen. And we were trying to be on our best behaviour going, 'Hi, we're really nice!'" Saunders, a staunch Spice Girls fan who recorded the Comic Relief single with them in 1997, demanded to write the show.

Bunton raves: "We adore her and have known her for years. She's just brilliant, and she went through the story with each of us." The musical is about a young girl whose relationship with her adoptive mother is under strain as she dreams of stardom and enters a TV talent show.

"It's about friendship and motherhood and then there is a little bit of, 'How do you juggle between success and friendship?'" gabbles Halliwell. Bunton and Chisholm confess they shed a tear while watching workshops of the show. "It is weird hearing other people sing our songs. But it's nice," says Bunton. The girls are keen to watch the auditions. "Do you remember when we did our tour and me and you auditioned the dancers?" Brown asks Beckham. "I loved doing that!"

"And I took the boys and the boys were having a little dance as well," says Beckham,

referring to the sons she has with footballer David Beckham. Bunton jumps in raucously: "And we just kept sending emails saying, 'Make sure they've got good bodies!'"

As they reminisce about their old costumes, Beckham reveals: "I have all my costumes still and I can't wait to show [baby daughter] Harper when she's a little bit bigger”. She breaks off, as the other girls are all whispering and giggling. "Buffalo shoes! It's Buffalo shoes that Victoria really liked," Halliwell blurts out, referring to the chunky platform trainers they all wore, setting a trend among schoolgirls all over the world. The others laugh and nod as Bunton explains: "She hated them." "No," huffs Beckham. "I didn't really, I just didn't want to wear them myself." She adds: "I think we're just so proud of what we achieved, and when we looked back at footage - Geri just did a little video for us all - we were all nearly brought to tears. It brought back so many memories for us all." The girls promise they will be there on opening night but, despite having starred in a West End musical already, Chisholm won't commit to appearing in the show. "I think this is just a wonderful thing for us to experience," she explains in her calm, diplomatic tones. “Personally for me, I'm just proud that our music is in a show, and is going to be performed night after night”. Beckham adds: "We talked about Girl Power for a long, long time and to introduce a whole new generation... is fun." And with that they're off, buzzing and giggling like they've never been apart.

The groundbreaking girl band have reunited for their next project. The Spice Girls reveal their excitement about their newly-announced musical, Viva Forever.

CLEANBURN is our innovative new technology – it’s not just better for the stoves, it’s also better for the environment.

The idea behind Cleanburn is to maximise combustion, so that more fuel is burnt and less is turned into deposits in the stove, chimney, or atmosphere.

Our Cleanburn stoves have been proven to have lower emissions, which makes them among the most eco-friendly models on the market.

Cleanburn Technology

The New Hunter ‘Internal Lining System’ maximises the firebox temperature, ensuring complete combustion.

‘Tertiary Air’ re-ignites the un-burnt gases ensuring a cleaner burn.

WHAT THE ATHLETES LIKE TO EAT

Matt Holland Water Polo Goalkeeper

Half an hour before and after training is when we've been told to eat our sweet stuff, so after training I'll have a chocolate bar. That's my sweet and I don't have it at any other time of the day

Yamile AldamaTriple Jumper

I like seafood and a lot of salad. I eat everything. I like ice cream which is my guilty pleasure but I eat healthily. I don't believe in diets but you have to eat sensibly

Louisa Sawers Kayak 4 canoe sprinter

I do a lot of baking so I enjoy experimenting with new recipes. I think it’s just keeping track of what you’re eating and knowing what works for your body. You’ve got to have treats. Chocolate’s mine. Every girl has got to have chocolate

During the Beijing Olympics, rumour had it that US champion swimmer Michael Phelps consumed a whopping 12,000 calories a day.He has since dismissed this story as "all a myth", dashing the hopes of would-be gluttons everywhere, but athletes of his calibre nonetheless need more food than the average person to fuel their tough regimes. Alex Popple, a performance nutritionist at the English Institute of Sport, is working with the British Olympic swimmers as the 2012 Games approach. He explains: "We try and make their diet match their energy requirements and protein needs.

Their diet is generally higher in carbohydrate compared to the average person because they're expending a lot more energy on a daily basis. "They deplete their stores of muscle glycogen during training, and eating more carbohydrate will help replenish them more quickly. "It's ultimately about allowing the athletes to come back and train as hard as they can in every session so they can get long-term gains in performance."With this in mind, swimmers in training will eat three or four main meals a day, with recovery shakes and snacks to top up their energy levels in between.

Calorie-wise, they tend to consume about double that of the average person - which means around 5,000 a day for men and 4,000 for women. Main meals should include complex carbohydrates - the starchier carbs like potato that are rich in other nutrients - and a high-quality protein source. Think chicken fillets or prime cuts of beef rather than sausages or pork pies. "Protein provides the building blocks to allow the muscles to adapt to the training so they become faster, stronger and fitter. Every time athletes train they damage the muscle, so the protein helps the body repair it," says Popple.

He also advises the swimmers to include one or two servings of fruit or vegetables per meal so they can stock up on essential vitamins and minerals. As elite athletes follow strict timetables and can have limited financial resources, meals that can be cooked and eaten in under an hour and cost less than £5 to make are also a winner. And if it tastes good, so much the better. "Athletes are humans with preferences and dislikes," says Popple. "We try and make sure the recipes we suggest meet all the performance nutrition essentials and requirements, but that they are also tasty. If not, you won't get a lot of athletes who want to eat it."

DAY IN THE DIETAlthough all athletes' needs are different, here's a snapshot of what a performance swimmer might eat during a typical day of training...

INGREDIENTS

200g/8oz quinoa

1 shallot or 1/2 onion, finely chopped

1tsp olive oil

3 tbsp soy sauce

2tbsp tarragon, roughly chopped

400g can Puy or green lentils, rinsed and drained

1/4 cucumber, lightly peeled and diced

100g/4oz feta, crumbled

6 spring onions, thinly sliced

Zest and juice of 1 orange

1tbsp red or white wine vinegar

INGREDIENTS

85g pasta shapes

1/2 chopped red pepper

A handful of halved cherry tomatoes

1 cooked chicken breast, sliced

1tbsp basil pesto

2tbsp low-fat creme fraiche

INGREDIENTS

Olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

1 red pepper, sliced

1 garlic clove, chopped

150g paella or long grain rice

A large pinch saffron

A large pinch smoked paprika

400ml chicken stock

150g large cooked prawns, shell on or off

100g frozen peas, defrosted

A small bunch of parsley, chopped

Lemon wedges to serve

INGREDIENTS

225g can tuna

1/2 chopped red chilli

1 sliced spring onion


1/2 small bunch of coriander, chopped

1 medium-sized jacket potato

150g low-fat cottage cheese

Cook the quinoa in a large pan of boiling water for 10-15 mins until tender, drain well, then set aside to cool. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small pan, then cook the shallot or onion for a few minutes until softened. Add the tarragon, stir well, then remove from the heat. Stir the softened shallot and tarragon into the cooled quinoa along with the lentils, cucumber, feta, spring onions, orange zest and juice and vinegar. Toss well together and chill until ready to serve.

Cook the pasta following pack instruc-tions. Meanwhile, mix the red pepper with the halved cherry tomatoes and the chicken breast. Drain the pasta, then stir through the basil pesto mixed with the low-fat creme fraiche. Toss through the veg and chicken and eat immediately, or pack into a container for lunch.

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and cook the onion, pepper and garlic until soft. Stir in the paella rice, saffron and paprika until well mixed. Pour in the stock and simmer for 15 minutes until just tender (add a splash more water if you need to). Add the prawns and peas for the last few minutes until heated through. Season, stir through the parsley and serve with the lemon wedges.

Mix the tuna, drained, with the chopped red chilli, spring onion, halved cherry to-matoes and chopped coriander. Split the jacket potato and fill with the tuna mix and the low-fat cottage cheese.

With Britain set to go sporting mad as the Olympic Games approach, we show you some tasty and nutritious ways to eat like Team GB.

FOOD OF CHAMPIONS

6amA medium-sized breakfast of cereal or toast before training.

7am-9amSports drinks to hydrate during the early-morning training session, and a recovery shake of protein and carbs afterwards.

10amA second, more substantial breakfast, such as scrambled eggs, toast and beans and a fruit salad with yoghurt. Then they may sleep for a few hours to help the body recover.

1pmA lunch of pasta, cous cous, rice or potato with salad and a high-quality protein such as chicken.

3pmSome swimmers will have a high-carbohydrate snack to fuel up for the evening training session, such as bananas, bagels, toast with jam or cereal bars.

4pm-6pmSports drinks during training and another recovery shake afterwards to prevent hungry athletes from over-feeding when they get home.

7pmAn evening meal combining complex carbs and a different protein source from that eaten at lunch - perhaps a red meat to boost the athlete's iron intake.

9pmSome swimmers will have a supper of cereal or toast. Nutritionists encourage them to have a milk-based meal that will help the body recover during sleep

WHAT THE ATHLETES LIKE TO EAT

Matt Holland Water Polo Goalkeeper

Half an hour before and after training is when we've been told to eat our sweet stuff, so after training I'll have a chocolate bar. That's my sweet and I don't have it at any other time of the day

Yamile AldamaTriple Jumper

I like seafood and a lot of salad. I eat everything. I like ice cream which is my guilty pleasure but I eat healthily. I don't believe in diets but you have to eat sensibly

Louisa Sawers Kayak 4 canoe sprinter

I do a lot of baking so I enjoy experimenting with new recipes. I think it’s just keeping track of what you’re eating and knowing what works for your body. You’ve got to have treats. Chocolate’s mine. Every girl has got to have chocolate

During the Beijing Olympics, rumour had it that US champion swimmer Michael Phelps consumed a whopping 12,000 calories a day.He has since dismissed this story as "all a myth", dashing the hopes of would-be gluttons everywhere, but athletes of his calibre nonetheless need more food than the average person to fuel their tough regimes. Alex Popple, a performance nutritionist at the English Institute of Sport, is working with the British Olympic swimmers as the 2012 Games approach. He explains: "We try and make their diet match their energy requirements and protein needs.

Their diet is generally higher in carbohydrate compared to the average person because they're expending a lot more energy on a daily basis. "They deplete their stores of muscle glycogen during training, and eating more carbohydrate will help replenish them more quickly. "It's ultimately about allowing the athletes to come back and train as hard as they can in every session so they can get long-term gains in performance."With this in mind, swimmers in training will eat three or four main meals a day, with recovery shakes and snacks to top up their energy levels in between.

Calorie-wise, they tend to consume about double that of the average person - which means around 5,000 a day for men and 4,000 for women. Main meals should include complex carbohydrates - the starchier carbs like potato that are rich in other nutrients - and a high-quality protein source. Think chicken fillets or prime cuts of beef rather than sausages or pork pies. "Protein provides the building blocks to allow the muscles to adapt to the training so they become faster, stronger and fitter. Every time athletes train they damage the muscle, so the protein helps the body repair it," says Popple.

He also advises the swimmers to include one or two servings of fruit or vegetables per meal so they can stock up on essential vitamins and minerals. As elite athletes follow strict timetables and can have limited financial resources, meals that can be cooked and eaten in under an hour and cost less than £5 to make are also a winner. And if it tastes good, so much the better. "Athletes are humans with preferences and dislikes," says Popple. "We try and make sure the recipes we suggest meet all the performance nutrition essentials and requirements, but that they are also tasty. If not, you won't get a lot of athletes who want to eat it."

DAY IN THE DIETAlthough all athletes' needs are different, here's a snapshot of what a performance swimmer might eat during a typical day of training...

INGREDIENTS

200g/8oz quinoa

1 shallot or 1/2 onion, finely chopped

1tsp olive oil

3 tbsp soy sauce

2tbsp tarragon, roughly chopped

400g can Puy or green lentils, rinsed and drained

1/4 cucumber, lightly peeled and diced

100g/4oz feta, crumbled

6 spring onions, thinly sliced

Zest and juice of 1 orange

1tbsp red or white wine vinegar

INGREDIENTS

85g pasta shapes

1/2 chopped red pepper


1 cooked chicken breast, sliced

1tbsp basil pesto

2tbsp low-fat creme fraiche

INGREDIENTS

Olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

1 red pepper, sliced

1 garlic clove, chopped

150g paella or long grain rice

A large pinch saffron

A large pinch smoked paprika

400ml chicken stock

150g large cooked prawns, shell on or off

100g frozen peas, defrosted

A small bunch of parsley, chopped

Lemon wedges to serve

INGREDIENTS

225g can tuna

1/2 chopped red chilli

1 sliced spring onion


1/2 small bunch of coriander, chopped

1 medium-sized jacket potato

150g low-fat cottage cheese

Cook the quinoa in a large pan of boiling water for 10-15 mins until tender, drain well, then set aside to cool. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small pan, then cook the shallot or onion for a few minutes until softened. Add the tarragon, stir well, then remove from the heat. Stir the softened shallot and tarragon into the cooled quinoa along with the lentils, cucumber, feta, spring onions, orange zest and juice and vinegar. Toss well together and chill until ready to serve.

Cook the pasta following pack instruc-tions. Meanwhile, mix the red pepper with the halved cherry tomatoes and the chicken breast. Drain the pasta, then stir through the basil pesto mixed with the low-fat creme fraiche. Toss through the veg and chicken and eat immediately, or pack into a container for lunch.

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and cook the onion, pepper and garlic until soft. Stir in the paella rice, saffron and paprika until well mixed. Pour in the stock and simmer for 15 minutes until just tender (add a splash more water if you need to). Add the prawns and peas for the last few minutes until heated through. Season, stir through the parsley and serve with the lemon wedges.

DREAM HOME BOURNEMOUTH TOWN CENTRE £374,950

Some flats are roomy and spacious conversions, usually situated in leafy suburbs such as Meyrick Park, Talbot Woods or Westbourne. These former Gentlemen’s residences that have been chopped up into sizable apartments often offer square footage akin to a modern house but with a lot more charm and character. However this is offset by being a mile or more away from the town centre.Town centre flats are often 1960’s and 70’s blocks constructed with maximum density in mind. They often benefit from cliff top positioning but are subject to some times astonishing maintenance and ground rent charges. This is usually due to porterage or lift maintenance.This brings us to Staunton House; at first glance this striking building resembles one with the kind of construction usually found at a smart public school or even a classic library. Constructed some time around 1909 this town centre flat oozes the charm so often lacking in the modern buildings.The Cul de sac that this property is situated within backs onto the award winning Bournemouth gardens and there is a private gateway providing access. I was there on

one of the rare sunny days that we have experienced this year and the atmosphere in the communal garden was almost palpable. The bandstand was playing some smooth jazz and the gentle hum of people talking and laughing whist enjoying a game of mini golf added to the ambience. What was so pleasurable about this scenario was the fact that all this frippery is on your doorstep whilst you are secluded away. The slightly elevated position and the mature shrubs and trees offer you a barrier that protects you from gaze without detracting from the positioning.Inside the apartment neither disappoints nor flatters to deceive. It is a picture of elegance. The long hallway with its high ceilings and picture rails sets the tone. The lounge is a vast space offering dual aspect views of the gardens whilst some how never feeling anything less than cosy. It has a lovely box bay window and feature fire place. The kitchen is a modern space with light coloured units and access to a larder cupboard. There is access to the communal garden through a personal door to the side. There are three double bedrooms and a bathroom with separate W.C. that complete the accommodation.

Outside there is a patio that wraps around the entirety of the apartment allowing the inhabitant an almost unspoilt view of the sun from some point on the seating are. There is communal parking as well as a garage and there is additional storage provided by original wrought iron look ups, ideal for the storage of bikes, surfboards or other beach apparel.In conclusion this apartment offers truly the best of both worlds, in its accommodation and geography. To find an unspoilt piece of Bournemouth within 200 yards of both the beach and town centre whilst maintaining a style from a by gone era is unique and captivating. It demands internal inspection if you are looking for a holiday home, if you are downsizing yet not ready for the perennial magnolia boxes that abound in the BH postcodes or if you just want a cool home close to all that Bournemouth has to offer.

It demands internal inspection if you are looking for a holiday home, if you are downsizing yet not ready for the perennial magnolia boxes that abound in the BH postcodes or if you just want a cool home close to all that Bournemouth has to offer.

Managing Director of Global Integrity Ltd, George Whitmarsh MBE, served in the Royal Marines for 27 years, 23 of which were in the special forces. Global Integrity are now entering their fourth year at Arena Business Centre in Poole which provides a planning base for the specialist security company. The firm delivers bespoke, niche security to high net-worth individuals and corporate concerns across the world and particularly in troublesome hot spots and countries emerging from conflict.

Borne from a desire to deliver a discreet high-end and meticulously professional service, George founded Global

Integrity 4 years ago upon leaving the military. He now works with trusted colleagues, both male and female, from the ex-UK Special Forces and Intelligence Agencies.

Their diverse backgrounds mean they can deliver anything from security audits on commercial sites and assets of high net-worth individuals; due diligence; technical surveillance and counter measures (de-bugging); tracking and relocation; surveillance and investigations; maritime security advice for commercial and private vessels; and executive security by way of close protection and security awareness advice for hostile environments.

Their latest tasking has just seen them return from the Middle East and they are now planning on a return to Libya to work within the oil and gas industry.

Growing up in Poole, George is a keen cross-country runner enjoying the solitude, freedom and fresh air. His favourite spot is the Purbecks in sharp contrast to the locations his work can take him. A testimony to George’s career, he was awarded an MBE in 2000 for his services to the military and conduct in the field of operations. Commenting on this accolade ‘To be recognised for your achievements is a huge honour and one that I shall never forget. I feel privileged

to be doing something I feel passionate about and through Global Integrity being able to make a difference. With a strong team behind me we always strive to achieve the exacting results and peace of mind required by our clients.’ George Whitmarsh concludes.

Let an ARLA Qualified Agent look after your rental investment

The importance of inspectionsYour tenants seemed nice when they moved in, they had a good previous landlord reference, and they looked like the type of people who would look after your property - didn’t they?

Many tenants look after the properties they rent as if they were their own, which of course it is for the term of the tenancy. However some do not and as much as you don’t want to appear intrusive towards your tenants it is important that your property inspected at regular intervals to ensure that there are not any problems that your tenants might be hiding.

At YOUhome our property management team inspects your property quarterly and provides reports to both our landlord clients

and tenants keeping both parties informed of any issues that are raised, providing dialogue and setting out a framework to address any problems by arranging contractors for maintenance, or by arranging for further inspection.

The inspection is not aimed to ‘check up’ on the tenants behaviour but more to ensure that the property is being looked after in an acceptable manner and to help communication between both parties, particularly if you don’t hear from your tenant very often it’s good to show them that they are not being ignored.

Tenants are given full and appropriate notice of inspections and they are arranged at convenient time for both parties, the tenant

can choose either to be present or to be out. If you would like to accompany a member of our team that then that is fine also.

Inspections are important for communication, and to ensure that the property is maintained to a good standard by tenants throughout the tenancy and help to avoid problems at the end of the tenancy when a tenant checks out.

A good, local, knowledgeable letting agent managing your property will have the skills to be able to arrange and deal with all of the above for you. We have a wealth of knowledge and ARLA qualified staff that is experienced and efficient in dealing with all aspects of property maintenance and inspections.

OLIVE-STUFFED TURKEY MEATBALLSSERVINGS: 5

Lean, ground turkey paired with Italian seasoning and tender olives, make these meatballs something special. The key to keeping this savory meal healthy is to pair it with a side of vegetables, rather than starchy pasta.

Here’s what you need... 20 oz Italian Seasoned Lean Ground Turkey 30 pitted olives 1 teaspoon olive oil 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1. Take one tablespoon of ground turkey at a time; flatten it in your hand and form around an olive to create a ball. Repeat with all of the turkey and olives.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and spread around the pan. Add the meatballs.

3. Turn the meatballs every 3 minutes for 20 minutes of cooking. Remove once all sides are browned and the meatballs are cooked through.

4. Serve on a platter with any remaining olives.

Nutritional Analysis: One serving equals: 205 calories, 12g fat, 800mg sodium, 1g carbohydrate, 0g fiber, and 20g protein.

1. CUT OUT PROCESSED FOODSYou know how Disneyland has the FastPass tickets that allow you to cut to the front of the ride lines? Consider processed foods as a FastPass ticket to belly fat. I wouldn’t be surprised if future studies show that the over-processing, chemical additives and high fructose corn syrup that are pumped into processed food specifically adds fat around your belly. If you want to lose pounds then stay away from sugars, sodas, chemically altered fats, processed, packaged, fried and preserved foods.

2. EAT FRESH, WHOLE FOODSOnce you’ve cut the garbage out of your diet, fill in the void with fresh foods such as: Green veggies Whole fruit - in moderation Lean, high quality meat Colourful veggies While these foods may seem boring at first, stick with it long enough and you’ll grow to love the unadulterated flavor of real food. Eating a diet filled with the foods listed above will give your body all the nutrients it needs to shed pounds and lean out.

3. A CONSISTENT, CHALLENGING EXERCISE PROGRAMThe absolute best way to fight the battle of the muffin top is with a consistent, challenging exercise program. Consistent: You should exercise 3-5 times a week Challenging: If you want to see results then keep your body guessing with new exercises and varied intensityMy exercise programs are specifically crafted to get you into the best shape of your life. I’d love to hear from you. Call or email today to get started.

BEST AB EXERCISESJust because those crunches won’t reduce your body fat, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t strengthen your abdominal muscles. Regular ab exercises are an essential part of your strength and conditioning – necessary in order to get that fit physique you want.

PLANK: Lie face down on mat resting on the forearms, palms flat on the floor. Push off the floor, raising up onto toes and resting on the elbows. Keep your back flat, in a straight line from head to heels. Tilt your pelvis and contract your abdominals to prevent your rear end from sticking up in the air or sagging in the middle. Hold for 30 to 60 seconds, lower and repeat for 3-5 reps.

KNEE TUCKS: Start on your back, bend your knees into your chest, point your toes together, and open knees out to the sides, keeping toes touching. Extend both arms overhead on either side of your ears, palms facing up. Lift your hips off the floor and bring your knees up towards your armpits. Slowly lower your hips back down to start position. Repeat for 12-15 reps.

ONE-ARM FULL SIT UPS: Start lying on your back with your right knee bent, foot flat on the floor, and left leg extended straight out on the floor. Extend your right arm to the ceiling and reach your left arm towards your left foot. Sit all the way up, rolling through your back, keeping your right foot on the floor, and your right arm up over your shoulder and your left arm reaching in front of you all the way up. Slowly roll back down to the floor. That’s one rep. Repeat 15 times on one side, 15 times on the other. For an extra challenge hold a dumbbell in your extended arm.

So you want to get rid of some belly fat. And you can’t help but be on the lookout for that magical exercise that will give you flat abs once-and-for-all. I’m sorry to burst your bubble of hope... But all the ab crunches in the world won’t make a dent in your muffin top, as long as you continue with your unhealthy lifestyle. This isn’t a cutting edge discovery. In fact, by now it’s common knowledge that spot reduction is a myth. And yet, time after time, I’m asked to reveal the exercise, or exercise machine, that gets rid of stomach fat. There is no such magical exercise. The magic is found in altering your diet and exercise routine to promote fat loss from your overall body, including - but not limited to - your midsection. Here’s how to really get rid of that belly fat:

DO YOU BELIEVE THIS BELLY FAT LIE?

It’s important to find the true source of the underlying reasons causing your illness or stress, and with gentle communication and guidance this can be achieved.Can you help any condition with Reiki?Reiki can be effective in a wide range of illnesses and problems, including: stress, depression, bereavement, anxiety, ME, arthritis, sciatica, panic attacks, headaches, post-operative pain and many other symptoms which may be causing ‘dis-ease’ in your body. What does the therapy involve?During the healing you will be fully clothed, and I will place my hands either on or just above your body at various energy points.

for several thousand years to help a plethora of body conditions whether it be detoxing your system or repairing injured muscles.

How often should you get one? Everyone can benefit from occasional massages: Some people who really hold tension in their body or have stressful lives should really think about having a massage once a week. People often forget to look after themselves and even having a massage once a month can help us to function more efficiently in our everyday lives. Plus it gives us something to look forward to that is just time for ourselves, which when done properly can improve our physical and mental state.

As we all know, stress can be a killer. Many of us walk around with tension in our bodies, often in multiple areas. It affects everything from our posture, like the way we sit, work and lie down, to our blood circulation and even our temperament -- all of which can have serious long term health implications, not to mention making any existing conditions worse in some cases.

• In 2011 almost twice as many doctors recommended massage to their patients than five years ago as a way to holistically treat ailments.• The number of both men and women who received a massage in the last year has doubled since 2010, women still get the most massages.

Myth: Cucumber will reduce puffy eyes. Verdict: Half trueResearch has shown that cucumber actually does help reduce puffy eyes — but you’ll need more than a slice, or two! Look out for gel products that contain cucumber extracts as chances are they’ll have a lot more of the nutrient packed in. Personally I much prefer my cucumber on nice crisp salad and save my eye area for Dermalogica’s Age Reversal Eye Complex rrp £56.00

Myth: Your skin needs to ‘breathe’Verdict: FalseAh, the golden rule of skincare. Or not. Wearing make-up actually protects your skin from harmful properties. Yep — you read right! When you’re bare-faced, you’re actually more prone to skin damage. But saying that, it’s still super important to stick to a good skincare routine, including taking your make-up off at night ladies! For an all over natural skin coverage I recommend Dermalogica’s Treatment Foundation rrp £30.

URBAN BEAUTY MYTHSFrom plucking grey hairs to the ever popular slice of cucumber on the eyes, beauty myths have been haunting women for years. In fact I think I could probably write a book with the amount I have heard! But is there any truth in these urban myths? I’ve decided to dig up the facts and finally set the record straight.

Myth: Sufferers of oily skin should wash their face more than twice a day.Verdict: TrueThe best way to keep skin oil-free is by cleansing it with a foaming facial wash. This helps to firm, minimise and tone pores, which in turn reduces the amount of oil produced. If your suffering particularly with oily skin try Dermalogica’s Dermal Clay Cleanser rrp £25.50 – this clay based cleanser acts to absorb and remove excess skin oils – It’s my must have!

Myth: If you pluck one grey hair, three will grow in its place. Verdict: FalseOld wives’ tale alert! When you pluck a hair, it is removed from its own follicle, and only one hair can grow back within that same follicle. If you have some unwanted hair growth why not visit an Electrolygist for a more permanent result.

Myth: Toothpaste will dry up blemishes. Verdict: TrueToothpaste (the paste-kind, not gel!) contains bleaching and antibacterial ingredients to clean, polish and disinfect teeth. These very ingredients will also work on your skin, disinfecting pimples and drying them. However for a long term solution I recommend Dermalogica’s Clean Start ‘Hit the Spot’. Rrp £13.99

Myth: Wearing nail polish will turn your nails yellow. Verdict: TrueWhy? Well there are a couple of reasons. Some polishes can stain your nails because of a chemical reaction between the colorant and the nail plate. It could also be that the polish’s formaldehyde (one of its many ingredients), is reacting with the keratin protein in your nail, making it brittle and yellow. To protect your nails, always wear a base coat! I recommend OPI’S Natural Base Coat rrp £10.50

FACE FACTSOwner of Chic Beauty Salon & Chic Academy, Sophie Tamagna digs up the facts and finally sets the record straight about some of the urban beauty myths!

THE POWER OF TOUCHWho doesn’t love a good massage with aromatic oils and ambient, take-me-away music? But the benefits of massage are as broad as they are powerful in results. Regular massages not only help alleviate the body from holding that pent up tension, but can actually help the immune system, which is vital to our overall health. Lymphatic drainage helps to regulate the immune system by removing metabolic wastes and toxins through the lymph nodes situated around the body. Also, the targeted use of essential oils have been the go-to

SPORTING THEMark the summer of London 2012 with an Olympic-inspired wardrobe. We show you how to work the sporty trend.

It's not just the Olympic stars who'll be looking athletic this summer. The sporting season has infiltrated the fashion world with fit kit references a-plenty. From the subtle sophistication of Victoria Beckham and Stella McCartney's sleek racerback shapes to the urban aesthetic of Alexander Wang and Isabel Marant's relaxed silhouettes on the spring/summer catwalks, sportswear is a winning trend this season.And you don't need to be a gym bunny to sign up for membership of this sports club. Even high heels will put you on the fashion fast track.

STYLE CONTENDERBelieve it or not, this take on sportswear can be uber-chic and will even work for eveningwear.Look to the designers’ favoured new clingy ‘scuba’ material. Inspired by wetsuits, these body-hugging pieces come in a thicker, more flattering material than Lycra. Dive into the deep end by opting for dresses with streamline racerback necklines or peplum details for added structure. Failing that, give your favourite sporty swimsuit an airing outside of the water, worn as a layered piece under a sheer shirt. Give your glam outfit a medal-winning edge with flashes of metallic against Wimbledon whites. Opt for gold, silver or bronze depending on your colouring. Take the high jump with towering heels to keep this look in the fast lane. Bright shoes will make your outfit ‘pop’.

TRACK STARTo really champion the sporty look, you can go all out with a workout-inspired wardrobe. If you’ve got the legs of an athlete, anti-running running shorts are a key item. Look for silky-style shorts with contrast trims. If you don’t like flashing your legs, you’ll find trousers with similar go-faster stripes running down the sides. Make a dash for standout athletic-looking pieces but in a colour palette of pastels or primary brights to keep things fresh. Seek out detailing like mesh panels, tie drawstrings and visible zips to ramp up the luxe factor.Ditch those old gym trainers and head for this season’s winning footwear - haute couture hi-tops. Classic sports shoes have been given a glossy makeover with comfy trainers that feature a concealed wedge heel to instantly lengthen your legs.

SPORTING SPECTATORThis is one trend where comfort and style can still be the perfect match, especially if you adopt the sports fan look. Fabrics are all-important to ensure your relaxed look says sport-inspired rather than slob-inspired. Think cotton slouchy tees, silky trackpants and bling trainers. For something more quintessentially British than global athlete, be knocked for six by a cricket jumper this summer. Kate Moss was recently spotted in one of the cable knit sporting classics. In keeping with this season's retro Americana trend, baseball jackets and American football tops are also enjoying a moment. Borrow from your man but leave his collection of rugby and footy tops firmly in the back of the closet. If traditional trainers are your thing, look for runners with a stylish twist like the patent or metallic leather numbers on sale the moment.

SEAT IBIZA FR

The average sentence for causing death by dangerous driving is just four years – 62% shorter than for manslaughter, according to road safety charity the IAM (Institute of Advanced Motorists).

The average sentence length of manslaughter is 6.6 years. Those sentenced to prison for causing death by careless or inconsiderate driving are given an average sentence of 1.3 years. Causing death by careless driving when under the influence of drink or drugs has an average sentence of 4.35 years.

53% of those convicted of causing death or bodily harm through driving offences were sentenced to immediate custody (260 people) in 2011. This has dropped from the 83% sentenced to immediate custody in 2001.

Fines for drink driving are also lower in real terms than they were ten years ago. In 2001 the average fine for drink driving was £203 –the average £240 fine in 2011 was equivalent to just £178 in 2001 prices – a 12.3% decrease3. The average fine for careless driving is £138, 27% less in real terms than it was in 2001. Dangerous driving is the only area with tougher fines. The average fine is £518 – 30% more in real terms than in 2001.

IAM chief executive Simon Best said: “We recently discovered that the number of prosecutions for motoring offences have fallen. Now it is clear that drivers are also receiving short sentences for some of the most serious driving offences.

“Magistrates are handing out fines for drink driving that are less than five per cent of the maximum amount possible, giving the message that drink driving only warrants a slap on the wrist. Only sentences that reflect the seriousness of the crime will act as a proper deterrent.”

SEAT’s Ibiza is so popular, it accounts for over half of the brand's UK sales. Available as three-door coupe and five-door hatchback and a wide range of petrol, diesel and ECOmotive engines, there is certainly plenty of choice. And while many buyers will opt for diesel versions, those who still want some performance edge are likely to go for the FR models – very sporty yet still very economical. Ibiza prices start at around £9,350 with the high-spec models topping £17,000. My recent test model was the Ibiza FR 5-door, at £16,840. This eye-catching version gets power from a 2.0 litre diesel unit delivering 141 hp. Top speed is 130 mph and the 0-60 mph time is a nifty 8.2 seconds. That is very keen performance, yet glance at the combined economy figure and you have to blink - a stunning 60.1 mpg. And that is not too unattainable – I returned 55 mpg in a mixed driving week with no special effort at economy.

A six-speed manuel gearbox is standard and the action is slick and eager. And with precise steering and responsive brakes, this Ibiza offers fun as well as day to day practicality. The car looks the part with distinctive FR ( for Formula Racing) badging, honeycombe grille, 17-inch alloys and twin exhausts. The sporty image continues inside the cabin with a bespoke instrument panel featuring the FR logo, a sports steering wheel with a flat bottom rim and sports front seats, also with the FR logo. On smooth roads the ride quality is good enough, though on rougher surfaces it firms up quickly and can rattle your teeth now and then. Overall it is a delight to drive, with grippy handling and with an easy user-friendly feel to it. Standard kit includes stability and traction control, multi-airbags, hill hold control, power windows and door mirrors, six speaker sound system, cruise control, trip computer, remote locking and low tyre pressure warning. Space for front occupants is impressive, though for rear passengers it is merely adequate. Load space with rear seats in use is a dec ent 292 litres, boosted to 847 litres with the seats folded. It works well as a family car, yet its charismatic styling enables it to appeal also to the business user.

FOR: Great blend of performance and economy, low overall running costs, nice driving dynamics.AGAINST: Some minor switchgear could be more conveniently located.

Ford’s new B-MAX is the company’s response to a growing “down-sizing” trend in Europe, with production now underway for September delivery to UK dealerships. With up to 40 per cent of Europe’s large car owners looking for smaller more efficient cars and 20 per cent of small cars owners seeking more space, it’s cars like new B-MAX in the small multi-activity vehicle market that are set to benefit. “With many consumers in Europe facing financial pressures, the status symbol of owning the most expensive, biggest or fastest is taking a back seat to being a smart, savvy or sustainable consumer,” said Henry Mason of global trend experts trendwatching.com. “European consumers are mature, urban and sophisticated. Naturally these ‘citysumers’

want cars that fit into their flexible, compact lifestyles.” The Ford B-MAX, assembled in Romania, combines compact dimensions for driving in congested cities with the ability to carry loads of up to 2.3m long, while the Easy Access Door System allows for a class-leading side access of 1.5m. Ford Says new B-MAX enables "down-sizing without down-grading." It offers best-in-class fuel efficient engines, Ford ECOnetic Technology innovations and Ford’s premium SYNC voice control system for enhanced integration of mobile phones and music players. “B-MAX is the right response to what customers are looking for in this size of vehicle. It’s small, frugal and stylish with an equipment level to satisfy customers who are down-sizing from

a larger vehicle. It’s a unique offering in the segment and a car that anyone could live with and use for all their needs on a daily basis,” said Ford’s man in charge of the B-MAX project, Klaus-Peter Tamm. Further B-Max details and prices will be announced later in the summer.
