Paphos Life

Thanks for your replies.

When booking a flight through a travel agent how do they get their fee?
By the airline paying them commission or do they get paid by you for their services rendered.
Is it always better and cheaper booking yourself online.
Any help or advice please.

Assuming that you mean 1000 euors per month, I would have thought that they would not get residency on that amount.

I would class them as social/moderate drinkers.

Some friends of ours own a property here in Paphos and are considering a permenant move from the UK .
The question they are asking me,and others of course is could they have a comfortable living here with an income of 1,000 euros per week.
They are middle aged with no dependants,.

Does any know where you can get a " back stretcher " simply the device,you lie on it or what ever and it stretchers your spinal column..any help would be greatly appreciated .

Can anyone tell me what to do with this card, do I just keep hold of it or take to another office? Thanks Uncle D,how long was there left on you...
