Re: Vehicle checks

WHL for your information many of the Police Officers are female so your manpower word is inappropriate and you should know better. However whilst at the Police station earlier this year the issue of staffing came up and at my local Police station the staffing levels have been reduced by 50% and the ...

Re: Holiday 'police' knocking on your door:

I know someone who is currently in the UK. They purchased and the 2/8 days tests and also 5 day early release test. They were called every day until they got the results of the 5 days test, which was negative, and then they were told they were released and would no longer be called. The calls were ...

Re: Cyprus Winter Fuel Payment

Boycott Just because you are entitled to claim the payment does not mean you have to claim it living in a much warmer climate – You can’t claim it now anyway but if you could you would get a nice warm feeling inside if you donated the payment to one of the charities that look after the homeless.

Re: Cyprus Winter Fuel Payment

That's a shame, thanks to all who live in Cyprus that voted leave :roll: It seems to me that Brits can be very greedy, indeed. While thousands of people are on the streets in Britain, unable to find a place to rest their head, you get a load of Brits, living in luxury on a warm semi-tropical island...

Re: Covid Pandemic over in UK

It'd be far easier for me to point out to them that Covid killing them is a dead-cert if they're elderly and infirm and unvaccinated, rather that a half-baked denier's notion - with no evidence whatsoever to support it - that cancer "might" in 20 years time kill them. I know where my mone...

Re: Covid Pandemic over in UK

Covid Fines

Today two close friends of mine who do not live together were driving in Limassol town centre and one guy was not wearing his mask and the driver had his mask around his chin (he was vaping at the time) when they were stopped by the Police for not wearing masks. The officer never asked for any expla...

As he has cost the authorities more than a pretty penny to extract his wet vehicle from the sea AND he has shown his incompetence as a driver by not setting his brake in time, maybe he can return the money in the form of a fine and show the world what a driver should not do, by serving a couple of ...

As you know HIC the law/rules have nothing to do with common sense HOWEVER like it or not the law is the law and you should comply not do as you wish, or we will all be doing what we like and getting a much longer tightly controlled lockdown.

Re: Limassol records 70% of Cyprus' all new covid cases in past two weeks

HIC - So who is or should be enforcing the law/rules then?
If no one what is the point of them?
Why did you break the rules yourself?
