Home required for Lino.
Lino is a 2 year old, healthy and medium size dog. He is a good boy in his cage, he does not get in trouble with any other dogs, he is also a playful, clever and sensitive dog. With people Lino is a lovely boy, he is very affectionate and obedient, and he can be very comfortable to go for a walk with, as long as you dedicate him a little play time, you will take home the most calm dog in the world. Lino arrived at the shelter with his brother but he has now been adopted and Lino is alone now. At the beginning he was very sad, but now he is starting to forget him and play with other dogs.
He deserves at last a home, a family who loves him and takes care of him.

I am hearing rumours that Banco Popular is in difficulties and may be collapsing. Has anyone else heard anything which may be more concrete?

Services Needed- TV Repair
Lady who lives in Torrox has a non working TV would like to have it
repaired please If you could recommend a repair man to fix same
phone no 951833305 thank you in advance
Services-In reply to the reply to request for advice: Electricity
The outage he mentions first is the usual Endesa outage for which there is no solution except that my advice would be to install standby lights that come on automatically in the event of a power failure and then go off when the power returns. The inbuilt batteries then recharge. We have installed UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems on both computers and on the TV. These contain batteries to give up to 30 minutes of power if the power fails and also removes spikes and switches in if the voltage goes above or below a pre-set figure.
The second scenario is more difficult to diagnose but there is an earth leakage somewhere on the circuit that has tripped ~ often this is due to water in the cables somewhere. Check that your outside lights are off during rain and see if the problem persists. If the main circuit breaker trips you need to switch all the MCB (miniature circuit breakers) off, switch the master on and gradually switch the MCB back on until you find one that trips the system. That circuit breaker then feeds the “faulty” equipment or cable.
To solve this remove all equipment from their sockets and try again. It could be a faulty RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) or you may wish to install a self setting device that tries several times to reset the RCCB and does so unless the earth leakage persists.
Contact Oscar who is very knowledgeable electrician who will check your system out. We have used him to install both a High Voltage Surge Protector (as required by most Home Insurance Companies) and also a self setting RCCB. He speaks English and is very helpful.
He can be contacted as follows:-

Special thanks to Dave Bulmer, our Santa, and his little helpers – Julia Ruane, Alison Hawthorn and Julie Lillie.
