If there is no war / conflict, why have any external soldiers? Because Turkey fears ethnic cleansing of the Turkish Cypriots by the Greek Cypriots. The minority need reassurances of their safety until such times as a unified Cyprus feels secure in itself to only require a symbolic NATO contingent. ...

The Sticking point is guarantees and Turkish troops remaining after a settlement, Cyprus/Greece/UK want to abolish the Guarantee system, Turkey dosnt, given that it would only take thirty minutes to put her troops back in Cyprus, if there was trouble in the future, you got to wonder if Turkey reall...

The EHIC is a case in point. It is. European Health Insurance Card. It's NOT an EUHIC . Norway, Iceland, Lichtenstein and Switzerland - none of which are in the EU, issue EHICs which their citizen's can use anywhere in the EU. What on earth makes the UK any different from these countries - none of ...

The paper quotes:

He said: 'We are looking to see if we can get a continuation of the EHIC scheme as it now exists.'

Looking to see is not the same as the EU allowing the UK to cherry pick one of the benefits of EU membership.

I placed an order with Amazon on Sunday. Yesterday (Tuesday) UPS rang to say they will deliver today to my home.

Has anyone ever bought a pair of Binoculars from the UK (especially from Amazon) ?

Given the state of some of the packages we have received here from Amazon I am concerned about the impact on a pair on Binoculars.

Many thanks in advance.

I chose the UK because if I had used Cyprus I would not be allowed to view.. Trev.. Thanks Trev, did you enter your own UK post code or someone else's post code (i.e. relative, friend, total stranger) ? I'm assuming that all the BBC wants (for now) is a valid UK Post Code as it would require consid...

When you registered did you select Cyprus or the UK as your country ?

Our son was due to go with his squad to Kajaki from Sangin but his R&R came up and he returned to the UK for a break and it was while he was with us that he learnt of what happened to his mates. He subsequently visited them in the hospital in Birmingham which was the main UK centre for those inj...

There is bad blood between 2 local home security companies, and the fact that this incident has been hyped up, and has happened in Tala apparently may be related to this.? But for locals living in the Tala area this incident has been publicised. It is very worrying. But I am sick to death of the sh...

I thought it was a good program, given it was less than 30 minutes and, in so far as it covered the main concerns of British Expats. I doubt it would attract any sympathy from Brits living in the UK but their big dollop of Brexit reality is yet to come and smack them in the face and when it does we ...

If Corbyn had any sense he would have the Labour Party vote against It, better to let them stew in a mess of their own making.. Totally agree Jim. Given what the polls are saying with the strong possibility that many Labour MPs will lose their seats I fail to see how voting for an election will enh...

It would appear from the correspondence that 'Insure My Villa' is not too helpful then which insurance company on the island can people recommend ?

Does anyone know what the official Sterling / Euro exchange rate is for the 2016 Income Tax return.

Many thanks in advance.

This measure begs the question as to the effectiveness of scanners at boarding in identifying IEDs within electronic devices if they now have to be placed in the hold in a locked suitcase where presumably they are not scanned. If an imbedded IED can blow a hole in the sides of plane in the passenger...

If the Israeli delegation believe they need this level of security / protection what does it say about them or/and what does it say about security / protection in Cyprus ? If the Israeli delegation think they are a target then so is their property / assets and therefore their hotels. Clearly riding ...

Austin7 Those ATM machines are popping up in many places, there is one in Tala, never noticed them there before our visit this time. It's only been there a short while - don't know why it was put there as the bank is just across the road! Perhaps the ATM in Tala is for the gamblers to get more mone...

Dee,

We have used Rocky. He is very good and lives not far from you.

I saw on the BBC website of the celebrations in Hull as they kicked off their 2017 City of Culture Year with much exuberance and participation of their residents in the city all decked out for the occasion. I'm assuming the same thing happened here because I couldn't make it so would be interested t...
