Re: Place in the Sun
Don't be daft, myself and most other married folks never do, it is rare to see people holding hands unless on place in the sun ... 8-) Like you I am never interested in what they do, but that TV show is false I think most of us know this, those who I have met from the show also told me this. Tremig...

Re: Opening times of Sweet shop
No, but I did fairly well recently scoffing all the mega-size Toblerones in Pop Life. This was last week's haul. Now that we don't get to go through Duty-free, Christmas is the only opportunity to buy this size in Cyprus :lol: 20201127_130642 2 2.jpeg But to answer Aphrodite, the impression I get i...

Re: Message to Dominic
Is that a good idea, we've already had threads about this, will Iwon'tI? Since having the vaccine won't be compulsory It should be a free choice. Dee This isnt a debate, Just a simple poll amongst forum members to see where they stand, on having/not having the vaccine, you dont have to vote, it won...

Re: Place in the Sun
I am led to believe that the ruling classes in Nicosia regard all dwellers west of Limassol as country yokels :lol: Nearly right HIC, most Nicosians regard the rest of Cypriots as peasants :lol: but to be fair, im sure this applies to people in most countries around the Globe that live in capital C...

Re: Could Brexit signal the end of the road for second-home owners in Europe?
Fully agree guys, but I am sure that there are 'ex pats' around that hold some pretty obnoxious views about immigrants and if they were called immigrants themselves they may come to realise the absurdity of their stance I agree, got to laugh when you sometimes speak to expats here, especially when ...

Re: Place in the Sun
In my opinion, most of the people that take part, are only after a free jolly, I would like to know the figures for people who actually buy a property, and those who are out for a free trip?

Re: Could Brexit signal the end of the road for second-home owners in Europe?
One interesting dynamic from the change will be if British people who settled in Cyprus and have acquired their residency rights will begin to call themselves immigrants rather than ex-pats. The term ex-pat is short for someone who is living outside their native land and is usually taken to apply t...
