cashire by beautiful villages and hamlets, which injects money into the Lancashire economy. Leader of Lancashire County
Council, Coun. Hazel Harding added: “Across the county we have so many wonderful and welcoming villages. “This year many of the cate
gories had more entrants than last year, which shows how peo ple are regaining a strong sense of pride in where they live and
Lancashire as a whole.” 'Waddington’s Coronation

Warning to on-line banking customers
ONLINE banking customers are being alerted to a new scam. . Lancashire County Council
Trading Standards are warning con sumers who use computer banking or other online payment facilities to beware of the latest e-mail scam. Fraudsters have been sending
online banking customers an e-mail which appears to come from their bank, and seeks to get them to "con firm" their account security pass words, pin numbers and other details. These are then used to access and steal the customer’s iden
tity. Trading Standards have already
received several inquiries from con sumers who have received these e- mails and become suspicious. Cus tomers of any bank or building soci ety offering online services could be
targeted and although these banks are increasing their security, it is important that consumers do not reveal the access codes to their account in response to any e-mail or telephone requests. County Coun. Doreen Pollitt,
deputy leader of Lancashire Coun ty Council, said: "Consumer frauds via the Internet are growing and this latest scam is aimed at fooling people into revealing their security access codes to steal from their accounts or to buy goods online. "The fraudsters can operate from
anywhere in the world via the inter net and consumers should never give PIN or other computer securi ty codes to any other person. Banks and other genuine organisations will never ask for these security codes."

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, November 6th, 2003 15 Sentence deferred for six months
A MAN who was s topped as he le f t a Clitheroe store with stolen razor, blades told security staff they were lucky he had not attacked them with the knife he had
in his bag. B la ck b u rn m a g is t ra te s h eard th a t
Michael Paul Briscoe (32), then produced a craft knife from his bag. He dragged it across his hand and nails
before reiterating th a t he could have used it.
The c o u r t h eard th a t Briscoe th en
asked relieved staff if he could throw the knife in the bin and they gladly agreed. Briscoe, of Tong Lane, Bacup, pleaded
guilty to shoplifting a t Booths. The magistrates deferred sentence for
six m o n th s a f te r h earin g th a t he was already subject to a community rehabili ta t io n order, a community punishment order and a conditional discharge. These had been imposed earlier th is
year for offences of shoplifting in Bury, Burnley, Rossendale and Rochdale.

There are many reasons why people choose to live on the Costa Blanca and here are just some of them. It has an average of 320 sunny days per year. The warm Mediterranean washes over the beaches to the East and South, introducing a steady flow of warm air overland. Mediterranean summers are hot and win ters, unlike back home, are mild. The sun performs daily miracles, easing the aches, pains and stiff joints associated with wetter climates. For another reason, the cost of living is much lower, and therefore your money goes much further offering a higher standard of living. For example, the aver age cost of running a home in Spain including water, electricity and gas, local rates, community fees (up keep of swimming pools, gardens, lighting etc) home and contents insurance is just £20 per week. A local restaurant menu of the day, 3 course meal with wine and bread is around £5. The area is agricultural and has little industry. The air is clean and is recommended by the World Health Authority as one of the healthiest places in the world to live. The standard of properties is high, backed by the builders’ 10 years guarantee. They represent excellent investment and value for money. Properties and land are freehold and have nothing to do with timeshare and the associated sales pressure. The Costa Blanca has extremely good medical facili ties, with local clinics and a brand new fully equipped hospital that rivals the facilities in the UK. Medical treatment to retired British people in Spain is free. The area is easily accessed from the UK, with Ali cante or Murcia airports being just over 2 hours flying time away from most UK airports. MASA International is one of Europe’s leading villa sales organisations with over 20,000 homes already sold since 1981. We can help you from the very first enquiry at our exhibition to the registering of your Title Deeds in Spain. We can help you open a bank account, arrange standing orders, buy furniture and deal with any formalities required by the Spanish authorities.

things.Your head may be in a sea fog. or you feel incapable of taking direct action. Just watch you are not being misled by your own rather vague hunches, or indeed by information coming from others.

Make sure you are boosting your stamina if you are pushing against the grain. Call my Sagittarius line to
