Hi all, Thank you all for your advice, I called Harris, told him the problem and asked if it was worth fixing, he was happy to call for free and take a look, unlike the last engineer I called, an Englishman who told me it was hopeless and charged me 20 Euro call out. Harris arrived with his son, the...

Hi all, Thank you all ever so much for the advice, I was going to the Esso garage anyway this morning for a car wash so I took Jimgym's advice and crossed the road to Plant fix, spoke to a wonderful young lady who supplied a bottle, sounds the same as he had, for 16 Euro, I have sprayed the drains a...

Hi all, Just found between 40 and 100 cockroaches running around my bathroom, used a whole tin of spray to kill them but I assume my drains need some treatment to kill them. can anyone tell me what to put down the drains and where to get it or the name of someone who does this job? Many thanks in ad...

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good washing machine engineer, I think my main bearing has gone so not sure if it's worth fixing it.

Thank you in advance.

I can't access one of my bank apps or my Drs app when in Cyprus without a VPN.

I don't think you can get to the old drop off point at the moment, we were taken to the airport by Rocky a couple of weeks ago, my wife is disabled and was having a bad day so Rocky volunteered to take us to the old drop off point but to do that he had to drive through the taxi car park. You can pul...

I use wise, formerly Transfer wise, can't fault them.

I think its 12 months for 10 Euro, less foe a lower amount.

Just go on Bazaraki, do a search for a car of similar details to yours, make, model, colour, miles and see what they are advertised for.

Gary.

I second that, I got offered between Euro 700 and 900 from 3 dealers for my old car, a Mitsubishi Pinin, sold it on Bazaraki for Euro 3500.

It was very easy, agreed the price we went to the citizens advice together, they did all the paperwork while we exchanged the cash.

It's a myth, or at least Easyjet and Jet 2 don't do it, my wife looks at flights for days before buying and they usually do NOT go up.

Just a tip, price up the replacement cartridges before you buy, some are cheap as chips and some cost a fortune, better to pay £10 more for one with cheaper ink.

Gary.

I do not think they have announced the day they start renewals probably Friday or Monday, no hurry though they will announce it in the Cyprus Mail.

Hi Jeba, If your interested the guy who looks after my pool arranged new pool liner for me and I know he arranges new pools for other people, if you wanted to have a word with him he saved me about Euro 2000 on my liner and it's a wonderful job, he is a Cypriot but speaks good English. He is Called ...

No, Sorry, no idea.

Gary

Yes that's correct, I remember, it was 18 years ago, they told me if it was a tiled pool the base must be much thicker. We have had earthquakes and none have bothered my pool, the liner had to be changed at 15 years and the new one cost 4000 Euro. It is 10m x 5m.

Gary.

I remember I was told the strength is important in the sides but the water pressure hold the bottom down, mine must be thin as they told me mine must always have water in.

Gary.

Riviera pools from Limasol were by far the best price when I did mine 18 years ago.

He stopped writing his books before Covid, his brother wrote the last two or three, almost a seamless hand over.

Gary.

Does this in any way effect private swimming pools, i.e. a house with it's own private pool. It does not seem to mention this.
