The "yellow slip" is not an ID document; it's only a permit to reside. I would respectfully suggest that you hire a container, fill it with the vehicle and your personal belongings. Two or three weeks later, it will be outside your house in Cyprus, hassle free. The

Devil, So what did you do? Did you have to buy a new Smartphone. Did you have to buy one of those expensive ones at around €1,000 or could you get away with something less expensive? No! Initially I bought one at, I think, EUR85, which worked fine as far as banking was concerned. It had a number of...

Ha! Ha! Ha! Rather than pay, it will just be easier to dump everything along the roadside or in the nearest forest

OR... Today Cloudy in the morning, becoming dense overcast in the afternoon. A slight chance of rain in the morning, then a chance of rain in the afternoon. Scattered thunderstorms likely. High 17°C, but temperatures falling in the afternoon. Wind southwest around 6 m/s, gusting to 11 m/s. Chance of...

Also I believe that English is classed as an official language of Cyprus.

That, alone, gives it away!

Following EU directives, Alpha Bank is now requiring that you have on your mobile an app for 'push' notifications. I tried to download this app from the Google icon on the app page and got the message that my mobile will not accept the app. Will Alpha fund the purchase of a new mobile so that I can...

Many foreign helpers have a net income of between EUR300 and 350. Worse, many widows who themselves have never contributed receive about EUR 320.

That is okay, I am insomniac!

Good one!

I do not know that "pathetic and childish behaviour" is not a bit of an exaggeration. It is probably just the difference between two customs agents, one of whom may be better trained than the other or simply does not understand the English terms used to describe the contents. Do you know w...

Why blame the Post office, things were never going to be the same after Brexit? What the heck has the post office done to invoke Brexit? That the British Post Office did something similar, I could understand; but the Cypriot one? No! In any case, it seems to be for nearly every non--EU country. :ro...

Bloody bureaucracy if there ever was any! The post office should be thoroughly ashamed of itself for introducing such an idiocy.

You should curry favour with her, dill you make peace which will be cumin!

No problem! I wear nappies and I can assure you, you never run out of them!

Must be the UK postal services that are up the pole, if it takes longer to deliver to the UK than to Cyprus!

Mine came this morning.

I was too occupied yesterday to note the dust levels. At the moment, the PM 2.5 level is hovering around 10 µg/m³, where we are. This is quite low and harmless. Unfortunately, I have two systems measuring PM 1.0, 2.5 and 10 but one does not interface to a computer and the other is supposed to but do...

Has anyone received the notification letter that states the percentage increase to the state Pension? I usually get this around the end of February, however have had any notification so far this year. :!: :?: Has it not occurred to you that the post from the UK to Cyprus is often very much delayed?...

Devil will give a more scientific reply, but as far as I understand it, the vaccination does not stop you from getting the virus, it lessens the affects from it. I cannot give a more scientific reply for the simple reason that yours is perfectly adequate. I cannot quote the exact date but I remembe...

It would seem that we are not out of the woods. Several members of this forum say that that they will be flying, who knows how many of them will have the coronavirus by the time they come back, despite the fact that they have been vaccinated? It may be a bit early to tell but, if these people do bri...
