Re: Removal of 3.7m sat dish

Mine was removed by a passing scrap man, I spotted him removing metal scrap left by the bins.
He did it for free.

Warning, If your dish is fixed to a flat roof, make sure they only take the dish and not the frame. removal of the frame will will result in additional costs repairing the roof

Re: External Wall Problem

I had the same problem and spent a small fortune on special paints and treatments but none of them are a permanent fix. As Lincold said it's salt evervessance and it's due to the poor quality concrete used here. We got round it by fitting facing bricks one metre high right round the house and that ...

Re: Post Brexit, British permanent residents in Cyprus cannot vote, stand in local elections

I think it was only Cyprus's entry into the EU, which allowed all EU citizens to vote. Thanks for reply and clarification from Jim B So brits are back to pre 2004 voting right in Cyprus, which is the equivalent of 3 elections, that said, I wonder how many brits who brought their property after 2004...

Re: UK products

Maybe there is a entrepreneur in Paphos, who will open UK food shop for those wanting UK products.

My personal favorite are Happy Shopper products, where you can clearly see the price charged in the UK, love the thought of paying 1euro for a 20 pence tin of baked beans

Re: Help re: Peyia Municipality- plans to charge residents for clearing their land!

"How the council can claim that it is not their problem amazes me"

Its to do with the council itself being a closed shop when it come to all things Peyia. The masons are more open to outsiders than Peyia council is to expats.

The is an old boy who drives a yellow JCB and lives in Peyia, he is normally pottering around Peyia doing odd jobs and work for the municipal.

If you drop him ~50 euros he will scrap away a bucket width of the offending weed,shrubs etc. and will dump it in the middle of the the overgrowth
