Anyone know about Scalewatcher?

I am considering buying the water softener marketed by Scalewatcher. It is quite expensive which is OK – if it works!

Has anyone had experience of this or can give advice on the best way to reduce lime scale?

Any advice will be most welcome

Thanks

Microsoft Scam

(1) These chaps phoned me up too, on a day that I felt awkward! They told me I had a problem with my computer so I said it was my son’s and I only used it occasionally but if I had done something wrong it would make him angry and begged the man to help me. I did everything he told me to, but the computer just didn’t respond as he said it would. After about twenty minutes he was getting desperate and I was sobbing down the phone. He said he couldn’t help me, and was very apologetic, however he got quite upset when I asked him if an Apple engineer might do better with my son’s iMac! Not been troubled since…
I’ve no children and not had a Microsoft device for nearly 20 years now.
Vic

(2) This is definitely a scam & should be avoided at all costs. Microsoft will never get in touch with you. We got caught several years ago & it cost us dearly as we were told we needed to pay immediately for their product to remove all the problems & we would lose everything unless we bought it. Do not be fooled as once this is done, they still hound you on the phone. Just threaten to report them as you know this is a scam & put the phone down. This scam has been going on for years & I suspect a lot of people are fooled by it as they are scared of losing all their data. Obviously, they are making a lot of money out of people who do not understand the technicalities of a computer, mostly the older generation who can ill afford the money. We still get phone calls from them at times even though we were foolish enough to pay for their so called repair product which did absolutely nothing. Do not get caught. B.C.

(3) Yes, absolutely it’s a scam. They’ve been plaguing us for the last week or so. If you Google the term you’ll see such scam calls have been around for years.

It hasn’t made the slightest difference answering them in Spanish, swearing in English or putting the phone down without speaking – any response at all seems to just encourage them. They’ve all been Indian callers although the numbers purport to be Spanish, starting with 95 or 91. I have noticed though that they always end in 00 or 0000 so any such number is now ignored. But it is a nuisance to have the phone ringing repeatedly during the day. Our landline provider Vodafone could put a block on the number getting through to us if it was a particular number (restringir) but it’s constantly changing (I’ve noted down six different ones so far) so for the moment I intend to carry on noting any number changes and reporting them all to Vodafone if they continue pestering us…

(3) Technical Support Phone Scams

Microsoft will never call you unless returning a call you made to their support services. If you do call Microsoft Support and they say they will call you back, ask for the name or ID number of the helper who will be calling you back to ensure the return call is legit.

A technical support scam refers to telephone fraud that claims to be a legitimate technical support service. It can either begin by a cold call, usually claiming to be associated with a legitimate-sounding third-party, with a name like “Microsoft” or “Windows Technical Support” or it could begin with an unsuspecting user searching for commercial technical support via a popular search engine such as Bing or Google. Remote desktop software is used to connect to the victim’s computer, and the scammer then uses a variety of confidence tricks that employ various Windows components and utilities (such as the Event Viewer), third-party utilities (such as rogue security software), and reference sites like Wikipedia or summaries written by security companies to make the victim believe that the computer has issues that need to be fixed, before proceeding and requiring the victim to pay for “support”. These scams usually target users, such as senior citizens, who are unfamiliar with the tools used in the process, especially when initiated by cold calls.

€510 banked for Los Angeles de la noche

Dear friends

I banked 510 euros for Los Angeles de la Noche today

and with a further donation from Julie Narewski in Competa

I went shopping at Mercadona yesterday and spent 50 euros

on expensive items like large olive oil tuna, cola cao coffee etc

when Gaby and i spoke to Antonio the chairman of Los Angeles he was very happy, said to thank you all very much and told us that the new centre would be opening on 14th May and we are all invited to the reception

I am taking the clothes, food, bedding up to Malaga on Friday

and will get more info on that event then

As I am away and can’t be there it would be great if someone went

They have done an amazing job running the food kitchen and

getting the new centre built so fast

love mx

Torrox Swimming Pool – Directions to the pool
Turn in to the sports ground car park From the Torrox 17kl marker sign
As the road bears right the sports centre is on your right
Look left there is an exit
As you exit here you bear tight right
In 30 metres the pool is on your right
There is a car park (rough ground ) on the left
Yours Ian

(2) The indoor pool is a separate building that looks like a dome, sited behind the football ground complex you can see going from motorway to Pueblo. I use it twice a week. They speak English. Here is copy of time table. David

Flying via Norwich

I would like to thank the thoughtful people who reported on flying to Norwich from Malaga. It was a helpful and reassuring post, reminding us of the golden days when we could pop along to Norwich airport, also from N. Norfolk (Fakenham area), park the car in a trice and enjoy a stress free journey.

Our daughter has actually been using Southend airport (she lives near Thetford) , finding the extra time and fuel worth it, to avoid the stress and parking costs of Stansted. Next week a friend’s daughter is trying the Norwich/ Malaga trip: we hope her experience will be similar to yours.

Thank you again for taking time to inform others of your experience.

Regards,

Diana

Services Available –Water Filtering System

Say goodbye to buying bottled water!
Why not consider fitting a fresh filtered drinking water system?
I can supply the complete system including separate tap
The Genius pro system is a five stage filtration to purify the water that is currently supplied to your home. The filtration eliminates chlorine along with other chemicals. It uses carbon filters and no additives or other chemicals are used in the process. It will also mean no more limescale in your kettle!
All you need is a small space in your kitchen unit close to your existing water tap ( the unit takes up approx half a 400mm kitchen unit) . There is then a separate tap that is installed next to your existing kitchen taps. The water is then available , on demand, from this tap and completely safe and clean to drink.
Installation usually takes just 2 hours and the unit is maintenance free. The only requirement is to change the filters once a year ( approx 15€).
The cost for supply of the unit and installation is 199€.
Qualified Plumber 10 years experience in Spain. ( 15 years in UK) .
Please call with any further questions or to discuss an installation.

Fly to Norwich direct – and enjoy!

My wife and I have just returned from Spain to England for the summer and as we live on the North Norfolk coast we took advantage of the new direct Malaga to Norwich flights operated by flybe. We would wholeheartedly recommend the service to anyone living in the east anglia region.
Flybe is using the smaller Ambraer jets, which are comfortable quick and quiet, seating two either side of the aisle. Flight time was two hours twenty five minutes. Once the food and drink had been served we weren’t bothered with flight attendants trying to sell us scratch cards, perfumes and so on. The cost for us was actually less than flying from Stansted, especially taking into account the huge cost of taxi fares each way to say nothing of the tedious two and a half hour journey.
Norwich Airport is small and totally unlike Stansted whose terminal is really just a massive shopping mall which requires everyone to walk all the way through it. It only took about ten minutes to disembark and go through customs at Norwich. The only thing people flying from Norwich need to factor is in that the £10 a head airport tax is still in place. But we are happy to pay that for the the sheer convenience of flying from there. Also at present you can’t get your boarding passes on line flying out from Malaga although we are sure this will be possible in due course. But as the aircraft only holds about 100 it didn’t take long to obtain them from the check in desk.

We have already booked our return flight from Norwich in the autumn.

Finally, just in case you are thinking we are either flybe or Norwich airport employees or shareholders we assure you we have no connection with either other than being passengers! D&G.

Whats on –Trip to Gibraltar

The Phoenix Club are off on their next shopping trip to Gibraltar on Friday the 6th May and we have a few seats available.

We have pick ups at at the A1 Garden Centre, Torre del Mar bus station and finally at Algarrobo Lidl at 08.30. The bus is parked in Morrisons car park and we leave Gibraltar at 16.30. Due to visa restrictions on entering Gibraltar, please advise if you are a non EU citizen when you book. Also it is important to remember to bring with you your EHIC card, just in case, and passports are essential. On the way to Gibraltar we stop to spend a penny and for coffee.

Due to an increase in coach fares we have increased our prices by €1 and we would greatly appreciate if payment was made before the journey.

The price? €12pp includes a €1 gratuity for the driver. Children under 12 can join us for 1/2 price. Still the best value on the coast!
Early booking is recommended if you like a particular place, as seat numbers are allocated on a first come, first served basis. Plenty to see in Gibraltar apart from the shopping!

What’s on- Capistrano Film Nights

Many of you will know, that sadly, Vivian Margulies recently passed away and Marty has now returned to his home in Florida. We know that Marty plans to be returning to Capistrano in October and has said that he will still be available for advice and assistance in the presentation of Film Nights.

However, before leaving, Marty entrusted his amazing collection of films to Capistrano in the hope that his legacy of Friday night film showings will continue. Thanks to Marty we have a database of all these films and thanks to Ken Finch we now have that database instantly viewable by title, genre, language, actor etc. available on CD.

I am delighted to say that a number of committed individuals have agreed to participate in the selection and showing of a number of films for the next season.

Ken has agreed to monitor and collate the choices with the aim of providing a wide variety of genres, languages and artists.

If anyone is keen or willing to participate in the selection & showing of a film or films- please contact me. Presenters from all nationalities are welcome.

All we need to start with is your availability on a Friday night during October – March and a contact e-mail – We’ll do the rest.

Water Shortage in Competa?

I have heard, from more than one person, that Cómpeta is extremely short of water, due to the fairly dry winter, and that the mayor has been negotiating for a supply to keep us going through the summer. As this is something that affects us all, I thought it ought to be made public knowledge, so that everyone can do their bit to conserve this valuable commodity and waste as little as possible. Those of us who live in the campo generally have a water deposito which will keep us going when the town water is cut off (and it has been off most of this last week), but that does not last for ever and, of course, it immediately fills up when the town water is turned on again, so any saving the town has made is immediately lost! Please think carefully when using water and conserve it for re-use wherever possible. Gwen

Services Available Insurance

Saga UK vehicle insurance covers you for a full 12 months out of the UK but do make sure your UK MOT is in date! I got a new one a week before we left even though it wasn’t due for 5 months. The Saga vehicle breakdown recovery is also for a full 12 months out of the UK. Be truthful about your expected mileage though….

The one problem could be, Spanish law limits you to 6 months in country with UK rego…. if you get stopped.

We did France, Spain and Portugal but with two long separate periods in Spain, one over 6 months,

Cheers, Keith

Services Available – Cleaning Services pic

Experienced cleaning and handyman.

I realise how important it is that the cleanliness of a holiday property is comparable to that of a hotel. I a provide a meticulous cleaning service for all holiday lets and change-overs.

I also have linen and towel service – either washing and ironing. I pride myself on a spotless, precise and a well-run service.

Services Available-Panic Buttons

(1)

Panic buttons are available in Spain through Social workers at your local health centre ,the social worker will help you obtain one if you have the correct paper work they will help you fill in the form and make telephone calls . The clerk on the desk at your local pensonister club is very helpful too with this matter but found much more hands on help with the social worker
Hope this helps Dorothy

(2)

We have a panic button supplied by the Junta de Andalucia. Our local Social Worker (Trabajador Social) dealt with our request and it is a very good service.

We have used it several times, and it has given us a degree of peace of mind as we live in the ‘campo’ with no near neighbours.

I believe the monthly cost depends on your income. Ours has cost €10.80 per month but is about to become free as our dependence has increased.

I hope this helps: we are not in the Nerja area but it must surely be the same all over Andalucia.

Best wishes,

Diana . e-mail : ariel70 at gmx dot com

Recommendation- Car Insurance

(1) Try Patricia Camps Liberty Seguros.

She is very helpful, her office is in Torre Del Mar near the Police Station. Her contact addresis patricia.camps@exclusivos.libertyseguros.es good luck Frank Shaw

(2) SAGA (UK) will insure your UK car for unlimited EU travel. The only proviso is that you have to inform them if when your stay exceeds 6 months, but your cover will continue to be valid.

They are not the cheapeast, but it will probably be cheaper than having separate insurance in 2 countries.

What’s on- At last it is official ! Singing is good for you!

According to a report in the Daily Mail and BBC News, singing reduces stress hormones, can help to boost your immune system which can help the body to fight illnesses. Depression can be eased by singing – due to the adrenaline you produce when singing and breathing!
The mere connecting with others in a group of happy people generates good feelings and brings confidence.
Scientists found that just one hour of singing significantly improves levels of immune proteins. Experts have long known that singing improves your mood! The choir featured on BBC News consisted of carers and cancer sufferers and members were finding that singing in this happy atmosphere was helping them to fight this terrible disease. People who already enjoy singing in a choir are aware of the benefits so why not give it a go and join us in “One Voice” based in Competa or in Vinuela “CoraXalia”

You don’t need to be able to read music (although it does help!) just have a willingness to learn and a commitment for 2 hours once a week. Any age, any nationality, any gender – all are welcome. The Competa choir rehearse on aThursday afternoon from 2.30 – 4.30 in a room called Fernan’s Bar, which is behind Competa’s Town Hall. We sing all types of music and in several languages.

We have recently joined up with our sister choir in Vinuela for a wonderful concert in Granada and have been invited to sing in Padua, Italy, and also next year again in Granada’s Music Festival.
For more information please contact Jo or Tom Robinson at jotom20042003 at yahoo dot com

Sorry, can’t help with searching…. that’s more in Doctorlaptops line. However, for some time now, whenever there is a snippit of info that could come in useful I copy and paste it into an email and send it to myself. It is important to take care in naming the subject line. I also add the date into the subject line. I then archive it into a folder that I call Digabits.

With Gmail you get 15GB of storage so no problems there.

I have several Gmail email addresses, Cheers, Keith

Searching Digamextra – Approaches Advised :-

(1) Google search advised I find that if I do a search on Google for something that I know is in DigamExtra, it will often return it in the search results. I did this last week and it worked.

Regards

Steve Harding

steve.jd.harding @ gmail.com

(2)

When I visit the Digamextra website (from my iPhone browser) I can see a search button and when I click on that I can enter my search terms and it returns the appropriate posts.

Alternatively in your google search enter “site:digamextra.com plumber competa” (without the quotes) and google will return links to the posts which contain the words plumber and competa, from the DigameXtra.com site. Obviously change the words plumber and competa to whatever search words you’re looking for.

Cheers,

Tris

(3)

I find that putting “digamextra” plus specific words for whatever you are looking for into you search engine works well. For instance the following for “furniture restorer” posted by someone in February…

We have just had a number of pieces of old dark wood and pine furniture restored and lightened by Brea in Calle Carabeo, Nerja, ( opposite No 34 ).

Vicky who owns the shop speaks very good English, and her husband, Manolo, is an absolute magician with wood.

They give you a fixed price, will collect large pieces, and return them to you fully restored in whatever finish you want.

Malcolm and his team from Pool,Garden and Construction Services, have now completed 6 jobs for us, from lopping the top off a tree that was near to power lines to removing and replacing coping stones on our very irregular shaped pool.

They came when they said they would, arrived on time and cleaned-up behind themselves.

Prices were very reasonable, we even had a refund, as materials were cheaper than expected.

Malcolm can be contacted on: 625911953 or on his facebook page.

Thanks – Malcolm and boys,

Paul and Mary P.

Windows 10 Upgrade – Warning From DoctorLaptop

Please remember that just because your computer downloaded the Windows 10 Upgrade that does not mean your computer is Windows 10 capable. Even if you go to the Windows 10 Upgrade Advisor site and pass the test you are not assured of a successful upgrade! You must go to your computer manufacturer’s site and locate the page for your specific model. If there is a warning that the manufacturer has not yet tested Windows 10 for your model, or any other statement suggesting that they do not support the upgrade or provide the required drivers, do not do the upgrade! Even if it appears to succeed problems will likely surface very soon. The Windows 10 Upgrade, once installed, can be rolled back to the previous system within 30 days only. Look at the Recovery settings if you find yourself in this situation, where you will find the rollback function.

Recommendation- for Con Mari bar/restaurant in Torre del Mar

I would highly recommend eating at Con Mari if you are in Torre del Mar. We have been on several occasions both when it was situated on the seafront and since it has moved to bigger premises one road back on Calle Copo next to El Faro burger bar. The food is excellent, consistently good (something we don’t find with many restaurants) and the presentation is superb. They also do a 6.50 € menu del dia all day which is different each time we go and we feel it just can’t be beaten for both flavour and value for money.

Thanks from Action for Animals

Last month, Action for Animals together with Juan Molino of Naturvets, visited Candido Lara school in Cómpeta to give a presentation about the importance of caring for animals. Since the presentation, the children have been busy fundraising. They’ve held a second hand market, rattled their collection tins during a “mini march” around the village and sold their paintings during Cómpeta’s recent Art Walk. They’ve raised an incredible €207.46 in total!
A huge thank you to the teachers at Candido Lara, the organisers of the Art Walk and most of all a massive thank you to the pupils of Candido Lara. Well done, everyone!
