Re: yellow slip

My retirement age in the UK is 66 years. Is it at this stage that I qualify for my SP1 in Cyprus or is it at 65 years please. You cannot apply for the S1 form until you are in receipt of the UK State Pension which depends on your State Pension Age which in your case will be 66. https://www.nidirect...

Re: Dentist

Just been there for 6 monthly check up. Compared with dentists I have seen over the years she is very thorough and efficient. Spent time discussing the condition of my teeth, recommended a cleaning routine and left with shiny polished teeth.

Re: Emails to Bin

Thank you Road Warrior - this link was easy to follow. Up until now I always thought that if I had deleted an email then it was irretrievable.

Re: JCC payments

I prefer to use direct debit for bills so they are automatically paid and always get a 'bill' at least two weeks before they are due so I can check the amounts.

Re: Road tax renewals begins January 9

Just successfully completed on-line, but this year requested details of car insurance policy. Just changed insurance company which told me to use the Cover Note number. I know it's not necessary, but I still print off a copy of the tax disc. Paid by credit card so in theory the payment goes out of m...

Re: Where do you go for a "proper" cuppa?

Not a tea drinker, but I have a few favourite places in Paphos for a decent hot chocolate drink! They all remember me because I ask for it to be strong and always the largest size!

Cost of Living in Paphos- data needed

I came across this site yesterday - will be interesting to see if other forum members agree with the pricing for Cyprus in general. At the moment there is no data from Paphos and they are asking people to add data

Re: TV Next week

I often wonder why I bother buying a TV guide because I hardly watch television, but the couple of days without the magazine seemed to go on for ever! There's something about going through with my pen and marking potential programmes to watch.

Re: Returned to the Island

It's refreshing to read about someone returning to Cyprus to live and makes me appreciate even more how lucky I am to live here. Fell in love with Cyprus in 1977, but never thought I would retire here!
