A report by Skynews.com claims that Rio Ferdinand, the Manchester United player had a free weekend recently and chose to spend it with his wife and children in a top-of-the-range ‘Prestige’ caravan, in Prestatyn, Wales.

The mobile home was on a Haven Park site, and it is reported that Haven have said that ‘’Rio likes to stay at our Presthaven Sands site.’’ A spokeswoman for Haven also said ‘’ He had a very lovely time, he was mobbed by young lads on the park but was quite affable about it all signing autographs then tried out the go-kart track.’’

On 1st September, the Cyprus Environmental Commissioner Charalambos Theopemptou announced that following a European Union directive, Cyprus has now banned the manufacture,  import and sale of the traditional 100 watt incandescent and frosted lightbulbs. These should now be replaced with energy saving fluorescent light bulbs.

A ban will follow on 1st September 2010 of the 75 watt traditional light bulb, and 1st September 2011 will see the 60 watt bulb banned from import and sale, leaving the more expensive energy saving light bulbs as the only choice for consumers, however as they use just a quarter of the energy, they should be a long term saving. Once the full ban is in effect Cyprus hopes to see reduced emissions of carbon dioxide.

The new law includes a long list of buildings and venues where lighting up will be prohibited, these include:-
Cinemas; theatres; hospitals – including rural sanitary centres – open-air infirmaries and old peoples’ homes; pharmacies, clinics, doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries; museums; galleries, concert halls and cultural centres; public libraries; factories; training and educational centres such as universities, colleges, schools; lifts, stairwells and ‘common areas’ of public buildings; covered athletic centres; governmental or semi-governmental service buildings; banks; ports and airports; event areas for adults; shopping centres, kiosks; reception rooms; recreational areas including hotels, restaurants, cafeterias, bars, coffee shops, clubhouses, cafés, internet cafés, pool halls, gaming arcades, betting shops, cabarets, discos, nightclubs and dance centres.

However the good news for smokers is that they will still be allowed to light up in all external,open areas (except for school yards and medical areas), and in the internal courtyards or gardens of buildings. Smoking will also remain legal in internal courtyards and external areas that are covered by a canopy, such as the outside of cafés, courtyards of restaurants and the central cafeteria area of the Parliament.

Employers will also be obliged to provide a “closed smoking area for employees with an appropriate ventilation system, in which exclusive access will be granted to employees who are smokers and who have submitted a written request to be permitted to smoke in that area.” This clause leaves out schools, which will become strictly smoke-free zones.
