A Place in the Sun: Winter Sun - Cyprus

Today’s program was in the Paphos area . Good to spot places we know . Channel 4 , 16.00 UK time .

And of course , “A PLACE IN THE SUN has been a staple on Channel 4 for almost two decades, but could Brexit spell the end for the long-running show? “ ;)

Re: UK Passports valid for more than 6 months to travel?

Just look forward to how much better the same journey will be in the future , passport control desks for UK passport holders only . Those 30 new desks probably have a UK sign covered by the eu sign for now .All the others can get in line . ;)

Re: UK Passports valid for more than 6 months to travel?

I just checked on the passport office site , and it is true what is being reported. So my passport now expires on the date issued and not on the date of the extended period , could catch some people out . “Rules for passports The rules for travel to most countries in Europe will change if the UK lea...

It’s like everything else in this comedy , they tell us one thing one minute then change the story the next , just like Barnier at the start of this thread .

So if your passport is due to expire soon best the rush and renew now.

Re: Is the EU ready for turning ?

It’s not all doom and gloom back in the UK , this from July this year . It was great news to read that the recent fear-mongering over whether German giant BMW was actively considering moving production out of Britain was completely unfounded. In stark contrast to the rumours in last week’s Financial...

Appreciate the responses, saw new? I pad for 399 euros in public today, waiting to see if it is 2017 or 2018 model (staff were unsure) prior to purchase. Thanks once again The A1822 is the 2017 model , but the model change date was in March , so you could get one that is a 2018 . The A1873 is the 2...

Re: iOS 9 on ipad

I was in the same boat , an old iPad 2 which had reached the limit of upgrades .

So took the plunge and bought a new one , it’s so much better and faster , just the way of the times , built in obsolescence.

Re: Sorry,MEU3 again.no need to panick??

It has been mentioned that once we have our meu3 , at some date we will have to exchange it for some other , form or card .
