Re: One of the reasons I left Germany for good....
Yes, Max. Many of us on this site served for many years in Western Germany in the BAOR and were well-acquainted with the weather, the beer and the Hamburg Reeperbahn. Happy days.

Trouble Signing into Cytanet Mail
Is anyone else having problems signing in to Cytanet Mail? This could be to do with the upgrade to fibre now in progress around Peyia.

Car Park Opposite St George's Hospital
Went to St George's Hospital, Paphos this morning, couldn't use the car park just opposite as they have the road up. Be warned.

Re: Biometric Card - 2026
As I replied earlier on this Post. As far as I am aware, It isn't compulsory YET, for holders of "Yellow Slips" with no expiry date issued before Brexit to change to the Biometric card, convenient, yes. If your travel is between the UK and Cyprus ONLY, i.e.between two countries not in the ...

It's been built too narrow for buses to swing around in it. Got that from that thoroughly reliable man every pub has.

Re: Forget gas.. Energy storage is the answer
Perhaps the other alternative for Cyprus is to do what Cuba did with their off-shore gas and oil fields. After cracking the crude oil and filtering the gas they fed it directly into their power stations. Each household/citizen/business paid a small monthly maintenance fee and then had a generous fre...

Bicaronate of Soda 500mg Tablets - Unobtainable
There appears to be a Europe-USA-wide shortage of prescription-level Bicarbonate of Soda, 500mg. In Paphos, the General Hospital is now out of stock and do not know when it will be available again. The same story with the high street pharmacies. Is anybody else in the same situation? Interested to k...

Re: Triple Glazing
Thank you for that Andy most helpful. Would installing separate sliding glazed panels just behind the double-glazing reduce the traffic noise? I had a private glazier install this in my London office that overlooked Oxford Street and was very effective.

Freedom 24 Banking & Savings
I just discovered the following banking/savings organisation offering reasonably good interest on savings. Too good to be true yet again? Has anybody had dealings with them and/or invested with them? Any feedback is most appreciated.

Re: MEU2 visa
What is concerning some people that have dependents with MEU1 visas and fulfil the pre-Brexit rights but live with their parents out here full time is that they don't have the necessary proof of five years of residency, (electricity bills,) to obtain the Laminated card required by July 2026. Does th...

I would appreciate any feedback on people’s experiences with Alphamega or other Paphos supermarket online shopping and their promptness of delivery to Peyia. Particularly concerned with ordering frozen/fresh items. Many thanks.

Re: House guttering
I wish I had installed guttering around my villa years ago, made such a difference. Stopped most of the mould that everybody suffers from in the older buildings. Done by a local builder.

Re: Transferring Ownership
Tried transferring ownership of my car to my son this morning at the Driving centre up Mesogi Road but failed due to not having a customs clearance for the car bought 22 years ago duty-free. The clerk fully accepted the duty-free period of 10 years had expired and that there was no duty to pay. Came...
