Even as the residents of Cho Vito are on hunger strike in a main plaza in Santa Cruz to save their homes, another Tenerife settlement is under threat. José Luis Langa, lawyer to the residents of Igueste de San Andrés, very picturesque village just north of Santa Cruz, said today that if Costas has its way, half of the dwellings (22 houses and 98 fincas) there will disappear. Sr Langa said that the area was settled centuries ago by the Guanches, but now letters have been sent out to the owners affected, whose properties lie in a 5 kilometre stretch between the El Burro and Antequera beaches, to tell them that their properties are too close to the coast and in violation of the 100 metre rule.

The lawyer argued that the coastal law shouldn't be applied to properties if they were shown to be in a "settlement", which was clearly how Igueste de San Andrés should be categorized since it had schools, a church, a cemetary, and residents who had lived there for many years.

Sr Langa has appealed to the courts and asked Santa Cruz Ayuntamiento for all the necessary documentation to enable him to prove that Igueste de San Andrés has been a municipal district for years, with a mayor, and all the facilities necessary for it to be classified as an established urban area. There will inevitably be a slight delay since this request was met by the Ayuntamiento sending out the documentation for the wrong areas, those of Almáciga and Taganana. JAA

If you have some all time classics in your head I'd like to know what they are, please copy the last post and add your own so we can see a list at the end rather than trawl through them all.

A brief synopsis of the film would be great too.

Thanks, Hez.

Uncle Buck, probably my favourite film ever: a comedy with John Candy, forced into looking after his brother's kids.

Trains, planes and automobiles: Do I really need to describe the adventure between John Candy and Steve Martin? :)

The Straight Story, This is an amazing film: Determined to meet and patch things up with his brother before either one of them dies, Alvin decides to visit him. The trouble is that Lyle lives over 300 miles away in Mount Zion, Wisconsin, and Alvin is legally unable to drive a car due to his bad health and poor eyesight. To make matters worse, Rose cannot drive either and they have no money for a bus fair. Undaunted, Alvin hatches a plan: he will drive his Rhoda lawn mower all the way.

I don't know how I even came to see this as I wouldn't normally watch this type of film but it was brilliant, it's a great, family, non offensive film.....watch it. :) ]]> General Chat hezzie http://www.thetenerifeforum.com/showthread.php?64829-Superb-movies <![CDATA[Who did Elvis call "the voice?"]]> http://www.thetenerifeforum.com/showthread.php?64828-Who-did-Elvis-call-quot-the-voice-quot&goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 19:03:25 GMT it was on a local radio show yesterday and I missed the answer and surprisingly I can't find the answer on Google, so......I resort to the old fashioned way of finding things out, asking people.....(which is nice :) )

I have failed several times, and have waited several times in the queue of their 'help' line before being cut off. On the website www.endesaonline.com you can go through the process of registering by filling in a form. Sounds easy, but

1) There is no facility for using an NIE instead of a NIF

2) Two surnames are compulsory

After managing to fill in the form with data it seems to be satisfied with, I then get an error message which tells me that the data cannot be verified.

Any ideas? ]]> Living in Tenerife Periklês http://www.thetenerifeforum.com/showthread.php?64825-Endesa-Online
