Have you seen the crazing on many restaurant plates? Yes, it can harbour nasties.

Re: Fury over "state piracy" as West weighs action against Belarus

IMHO, the UN should totally sanction Belarus, forbidding all members any contact , diplomatic or otherwise, with it. No trade, close all roads/rail/air. Isolate the country for the pariah it is!

Re: Your first wage.

As a national serviceman, while in basic training at Catterick, I received the princely sum of 21/- (shillings) per week or GBP1.05. I was demobbed 54 months later as a Class A2 tradesman (radio mechanic) on £4 4s 0d/week. After that, I worked as a radio engineer (five year university qualification)...

Re: Redcurrant Jelly and Mint Jelly

Instead of redcurrant jelly, try mosfilo jelly. The fruit grows abundantly in this region and is a large cross between a redcurrant and a Hip. You can get the jelly in any supermarket. It would probably go quite well with the lamb.

Re: At what elevation to expect snow / frost

I have used a private ambulance from Aretaia Hospital in Strovolos on a number of occasions without taking a subscription. It costs us typically about 35% more than a taxi would over the same distance. Their service is generally impeccable although we did have one letdown when they were unable to co...

Re: At what elevation to expect snow / frost

In 23 years, we have seen snow having settled ephemerally just three times at slightly under 300 m altitude. We have gone into negative temperatures (just!) perhaps a dozen times or so. Our record negative temperature, measured correctly, was -2.3°C ±0.4°.

What is the building to the right of photograph 098? Do you know who owns it? If it is on municipal property, it should not really be there!

Re: Help re: Peyia Municipality- plans to charge residents for clearing their land!

Can't tell for sure without a cadastral map, but I suggest either your house is where it shouldn't be or the boundary is further out than you think. You must have 3 m between the construction and the boundary and it does not look that way!

Re: Cyprus Winter Fuel Payment

That's a shame, thanks to all who live in Cyprus that voted leave :roll: It seems to me that Brits can be very greedy, indeed. While thousands of people are on the streets in Britain, unable to find a place to rest their head, you get a load of Brits, living in luxury on a warm semi-tropical island...

Re: Cyprus Driving Licence Second Renewal

I'm 89 and my current licence is valid for three years. However, that having been said, I am voluntarily revoking it because I feel that my standard of driving has dropped sufficiently to justify withdrawal. I have no desire to enter the statistics as being someone who caused the fatal accident. Inc...

Re: Pollution from fireworks

I have no scientific proof as to the cause. Notwithstanding, there are reasonable grounds to assume that fireworks were probably responsible for the increase in PM 10. I have never seen PM 10 to increase significantly without PM 2.5 and PM 1.0 reacting similarly. By the end of the morning the 3 PM v...

Pollution from fireworks

PM10 went up significantly peaking 02;00 TO 04:00 on 1 May to just over 100 µg/m³ ; not too bad for health

PM 2.5 and PM1.0 little change :) :)
