Re: Airlines,fact or myth?

Re: Shower Stool/Seat conundrum?

Hi, I purchased a small shower stool for my sister in law who has MS and visits frequently, bought it from the disability shop opposite the general hospital. It fits perfectly in our guest room shower cubicle which is quite small.

Re: New Parking Meters - How do the authorities check?

Re: SMART PARKING IN PAFOS

I used the sms number for parking on Monday, very easy and you get a reminder 5 minutes before your time expires giving you the option to extend your parking time. Prefer this to the app as I’m not down in Paphos very often.

Re: Cypriots have increasingly unfavourable view towards migrants, report finds

Dominic Why was WW11 different ? Although we weren't invaded, Britain made preparation for the event, and indeed, according to my mother, at one point, it was expected daily, however, the Brits stood together in the defence of our country. My point regarding women and children has not been addresse...

Re: Cypriots have increasingly unfavourable view towards migrants, report finds

With respect it's not quite the same thing. Most of us expats, yes even us Irish, made a conscious decision to move here. Understanding that nothing is for nothing, we took care to house, feed and clothe ourselves. We are funded by our pensions, our savings, our families and that old-fashioned nons...

Re: St Michaels Hospice and The Friends Hospice

Hi, as far as I’m aware The Friends Hospice does not charge for stays I believe St Michaels charge patients after a period of time. I’m involved with The Friends Hospice and not aware of any issues between the two charities.

Re: Cyprus Driving

Go to many bars or cafes where Brits drink and you’ll see many well over the limit and driving, I personally avoid these places as it’s the same ones who tend to be loud and obnoxious.

We are considering buying a leaf blower, which also vacuums the collected leaves and “mulches” them. We would like a cordless model.
