Re: GESY payments somebody will know ?
According to one of the Pharmacies that we go to pointed out that if the medication that you get is not the generic one then there is a cost to pay even if you have reached your € 150 limit. My wife gets some pretty expensive medication so we have to pay a contribution, not the full cost. To be hone...

Transferwise
I have just done a transfer from RBS to Wise To BoC whilst the time for the RBS to Wise has always been instant the transfer today from Wise to BoC was also instant. Let's hope that this is a permanent change.

Re: Pool leak
Try the Bucket test if you have steps in the pool. Place a bucket on one of the steps fill it to the same level as the pool and if the pool goes down quicker than the bucket you have a leak. Probably one of the skimmers I too use Poolfix and have done for years.

Re: Money transfer.Should i be worried?
I used to use CF for years but some time ago things started going very sloe, taking several days for the transfer to complete. I blamed the Bank and phoned them to tell the. The third time this happened the Bank the Bank kind of hinted that it would be a good idea if I changed my transfer Company. L...

Re: Fire Grate
I expect yours is made from steel, go to a steel fabrication shop with your old one and ask them to replicate a new one. I know there is one on the Mesogi industrial Estate, google steel fabrication shops and find one close to yourself, seems like a good idea. I think that you live in Giolou so, he...

Re: Electric Cars - Caveat Emptor
This thread started regarding the big drop in second hand prices of used EVs. It now appears that Hertz are adding to that and are going to replace 20,000 EVs with ICE cars.

Re: Electric Cars - Caveat Emptor
The main reason that the Chinese are buying EVs is the fact that they are cheaper than ICE cars. The government is ploughing in huge sums of money to promote them. Only one manufacturer actually makes a profit the rest just get a handout to cover their losses. It is a strategy to take over the glob...

Re: Electric Cars - Caveat Emptor
Hydrogen is inefficient because it is generated electrolytically. This means that you have to have an electricity supply from some other means in order to produce it, with significant energy losses in the process.I should add that hydrogen from the earth is not proven yet.

Re: Electric Cars - Caveat Emptor
What would worry me about an EV is not so much that it could run out of juice in a traffic jam as the fact that if it did you cannot tow it. Since it has no gearbox it has no Neutral and towing would cause damage . You’d be ok in Cyprus as they use Flatbeds but in many circumstance in other countrie...
