Re: Work starts on largest bus terminal in Cyprus

It sounds very much like a fiasco and more like the old "on the buses" with Reg Vardy

The power of the unions is unbelievable and chaos seems to be imminent

Re: Room for improvement but Cyprus on track to lower polluted air emissions

Am I missing something when we have a country blessed with an abundance of free god given sunshine, a country with plenty of idle land, with close ultra rich neighbours and "acquired mega rich citizens" who would certainly invest in massive solar farms and more wind farms in the Troodos to...

Re: communal pool

Thanks for the update, I didnt realise it was the opposite way !!! As I say, perhaps selfishly, as this does not effect me directly I naturally "assumed" it was EU legislation that was not being enforced rather than Cyprus refusing to change it's stance......can someone explain simply why ...

Re: 2 metre distance rule

Would reporting the Supermarket in question to the relevant Authorities to deal with lead to be a better result for your future safety

Re: New iPad

About eighteen months ago, through the good offices of a member of this forum, I bought an “as new” iPad to replace the iPad 2 I had bought in 2011. I have been delighted with it and, being the dutiful husband I am, I passed my old iPad 2 to my wife. She was delighted and loved it. But over the mon...

Re: “Oven-proof” frying pan

I bought one a year or so ago from WMD on Apostolou Pavlou Avenue ( Opposite SunCentre/Cosmic Bowling )

I don't know anywhere "local" to you up there so you may need to have a drive into Paphos

Its a crying shame, the road was recently gaining a bit of popularity and some new venues ( the new place opposite Friends/Neil's Mr Woo and Namaste ) and now there will be Nereus, the Almond Tree and the old First and Last closed almost all together a block
