Re: Freedom 24 Banking & Savings

I recently found Chase banking very good, I had money in Halifax with no interest, moved it to Chase, the savings account and currant account run together so you can move funds daily, all deposits go into the savings account with 4.1% interest and as i need money, i transfer it to my currant account...

Cyta call, scam or genuine

Hi all, I was called today from a lady telling me she was from Cyta, telling me that as I now had fibre optic broadband I had to sign a new contract, could someone come in the morning with the contract to sign. Has anyone else had this, does anyone know if this is genuine? Thank you in advance. Gary.

Re: Road to Lara?

For anyone interested whilst it is hard going the road to Lara from Ineia is OK, initially the diversion is well sign posted but when you get down to the old road near the sea and turn right toward Lara you go through a sign saying ROAD CLOSED, then on your return the same. Very dusty, more than usu...

Road to Lara?

Hi All,

I know they are putting a new road in to Lara at the moment but does anyone know if we can drive through at the moment, I noticed that there is a detour to Viklari but does it carry on the Lara and is it OK as I do not have 4WD. Or perhaps if I go through Inea.

Many thanks

Gary

Re: Health insurance for immigration

Sorry for my ignorance but what do you need insurance for at immigration, i am applying for MUK3 and have not been asked for insurance, just worried it may be something I should have sorted.

As I flit between UK and Cyprus I manage on annual holiday insurance.

Re: Induction Hob Part 2

If you want my advice, I have been installing kitchens with gas and electric hobs for 32 years, I would go with electric, Induction if you do not have a pacemaker, electric is cheaper, easier to clean and much safer, also, I have not seen any gas installed hobs in Cyprus that would meet safety stand...

Re: Induction Hob Part 2

The rings on an induction hob work by very strong electro magnetism, not the controls, the hob does not warm up, you can put it on high and put your hand on the cold glass, it will however effect some watches and many pacemakers. On a display I have put a £20 note under a pan and boiled an egg, the ...

Re: Induction Hob Part 2

As long as you don't have a pacemaker, the strong magnet in an induction hob can stop them from working.
