Re: Georgiades mulls mandatory use of plastic money at kebab shops, surgeries etc

Any bank, institution or government which sought to deny people access to their cash would soon find retaliatory action being taken against them. People would simply not bank cash they receive and would instead hoard it at home, ready for that rainy day when they might need it. A process hardly in ...

Re: Georgiades mulls mandatory use of plastic money at kebab shops, surgeries etc

One way to force plastic card use would be to severely restrict the flow of cash. €10 a day from ATM & in the bank. Problem solved!

Re: Paphos is most expensive to shop??

Shopping in Lidl is more than tricky to compare prices when you are shopping clever using their weekly special offers. They are inexpensive with a lot of products coming from Germany or Italy but when one waits for the special offers they are really cheap. But must say Lidl is much more expensive i...

Re: Theft from your baggage

Zipped suitcases can be opened very simply with a ballpoint pen! I saw a video of that, scary! I use a combo lock which fixes tabs so they cannot be moved. I don't place valuables in my checked in luggage though, always in carry on. Jimgym, if the tabs weren't locked why would you then need a ballp...

Re: Poll:- Sapphire Jubilee

I feel sure that Charles will not want to relinquish his right to become monarch after the Queen dies, but he really should as I don't think he will have too much support from the populace!

Long live King William & Queen Katherine.

Re: The Demise of Orphanides

I think it was the Laiki bank that eventually brought the company down. At the time a list was published of all the loans and mortgages that Orphanides had taken, some properties mortgaged more than once with the company ultimately unable to meet its financial commitment to the bank; that was it's d...
