Re: Butcher Boy - re-locating

Re: recommend a tax advisor

If you're keen on dealing with an English person who is well versed in both the UK and Cypriot tax systems, talk to Elizabeth Welch. She knows how to get the best deal out of both systems and is very reliable.

Hellenic Online Banking

Is it just me, or are others having login problems with the new Hellenic Bank webpage?
It seems that I have to hit the login button about twenty times before the login page appears.
I have raised the issue with the bank, but so far have no response from them!

Re: simple way to convert metric lengths to imperial lengths in your head.

8000 x 100 x 4 = 3,200,000
Knock off the final 0 gives 320,000 inches, which equals 5.05 miles.
So it does still work, albeit a bit long-winded.
Think I'll stick with the 5/8 rule for long distances!
