Re: PANDA car wash Cklorakas

It was open yesterday. It may have been closed when you went as Chloraka had a scheduled power cut. I would expect the recycled water containers would need an electric pump.

Re: Cypriot Pension paid to UK - is there anything else I can do?

Hi I think it might help you if you had a summary print out of all your social insurance contributions possibly by CAB emailed to you or when you visit. Then you can check exact number of points. For a full Cyprus pension you need 15 points, it's not the number of years you paid in. On average thoug...

Re: Cyprus Pension

Your welcome. I agree the cy pension is one of the most confusing topics I have found here. You get different answers depending on who you speak with, even at the CAB. Good luck with it all

Re: Cyprus Pension

It's the number of units/points not the years as I found I was 1.5 points off a Cy pension. Depends on what you paid in IE any reduced payments if you were self employed and had lower earnings some years. Very frustrating. But you might be able to claim a social pension at 68 which can be a lump sum...

Re: Bandits about wiper guys

Hi They have been operating across the island for 7 years. In Pafos they have been in the Neon Mall before Lidl opened and seen buying wiper blades in Superhome. Pissouri had a meeting with the police it was stated on FB regarding Paps there recently. Taking photos hasn't worked so far for me or rep...

Re: Neon Mall

If you look at their website contact details it shows a map. Just Google Neon Mall. You will see Lidl will be on the left of main entrance next to Superhome. I have heard they may be holding off moving in for a year. The other shops are Cosmos Sports and Cyta both on the left after Superhome. A tota...

Re: Returning to work Covid tests

Yes everyone working has to have one including those self employed even if they have been working during the lockdown. You also need the form B completing while working too which includes your social insurance no. If you are stopped you need to show this along with your negative test or risk a 300e ...

Re: Supermarket trollies

Thanks Dee. It took a lot of emails back and forth to chat about these trollies but I think it was well needed here (as an ex marketer). Important part is 'place' in marketing and the whole 'process' in service marketing to be a successful business. If one of the 7 Ps is weak then the business is mi...

Re: Supermarket trollies

Galexinda glad you like the 'indoor' trollies in Paps without a coin. It was me that got them into the stores as I have problems pushing the heavy ones and also pull alongs due to being part disabled and also suffer from vertigo when bending down. Always used them in the UK. I wrote to the marketing...

Re: Cashback at the Supermarket

Paps started offering this new service about 2/3 weeks ago and I find it very useful. Minimum cashback is 20e maximum is 80e. I don't understand Darrow saying they have offered it for years... I hope other supermarkets follow.
