Re: Gladstonos Road Open

Yup, by chance we were one of the first up there. The redeveloped park Dominc videoed looks good even though still early days in terms of planting.

Re: The Hotel Strip And Kato Paphos

Amazon FAQ’s are the best.

Q, Does this product come with xyz included?
A. I don’t know as I have not purchased this.

Amazon, and other similar sites, are littered with garbage like this.

As our team at work used to say, sometimes the problem is between the keyboard and the chair.

Re: New Mall to Open on the 26th. Will your favourite shop be there?

Ended up in SHC in their new location twice today. Nicely laid out, more spacious than the previous site, seemed to Bev more variety of stock - or at least if not it’s more visible than before. Plenty of parking outside and signage to the extra covered parking area which I didn’t use.

Re: Roof Pump won't stop running

It’s also possible you have a leak somewhere. We had exactly the same thing a couple of years ago due to a faulty part in the cistern of one of the loos, so the loo was being constantly topped up - and the water pumps are very sensitive to the slightest demand for water.

Re: Delving into the Paphos region’s past

The village museum in Steni is also well worth a visit - as are the platter meals, in The Watermill tavern which is just opposite.

Re: Postage for cards to the UK

We posted around 30 cards to the U.K. the other day, I think 64 cents each plus the extra 2 cent stamp. Total cost including 3 others to USA, Canada and Australia was €22.11. Cards were all a similar size, fairly average size (purchased with postage costs in mind 😂😂) Never worked out how it’s so che...

Re: Businesses that don't accept cards

Some businesses used and preferred cash to avoid putting it through the books and avoid corporation tax. This backfired on some when it came to claiming for support during COVID as their figures don’t meet the required criteria due to the missing funds.

Re: Important: Receiving medicinal products from the UK in Cyprus?

This is probably a stupid question, so don’t shoot the questioner, but why would a resident of Cyprus have medicine posted from the U.K.? Are we talking about private purchases or from a GP practice? Or does this include vitamins etc that I guess may fall under the banner of medicine?

Re: Businesses that don't accept cards

My thoughts on the OP are that they are quite simply not complying with the law. In the early days when the rules came in a common response was that “we are still waiting for the machine”, 2 years or so down the line that should be much less of an issue. Even our the dog groomers we use have those l...

Re: Conditions at Paphos general hospital ‘tragic’ says mayor

Have always thought why don't they charge 1 euro for parking at the harbour and then this to be used for the General. Could also do this at the Hospital itself. I am sure the Mayor could be proactive in doing something about the hospital. Or he could divert some of the Smart payment parking scheme ...
