Re: Pillows

I didnt see the Tempur brand when I was looking all over last year and ended up with these and found them in the Gevorest shop in the Mall. I think I read somewhere that Gevorest had a store also in the outskirts of paphos somewhere

Re: Limni Pier From Above

With Christmas rapidly approaching it maybe a good opportunity for you to treat yourself to a 360 underwater drone camera to complete the other 180 or you may run the risk of the EU Trading Standards Stasi battering your door down at 3am one morning Maybe its a bit early cost wise for an underwater ...

Re: Paphos Police operation to combat traffic violations

What I cannot understand is why oh why do they announce that they are having a purge for traffic violations when if they want the public to toe the line and drive safely, they should be enforcing the law every day rather than allowing people to be careful, watch what they are doing for a few days an...

Re: Anti-fraud office probing misuse of EU funds

May be this is the tip of an iceberg and more may come to light

So your solution may not hold water

I think Cyprus is currently under the EU microscope following the recent Al Jazheera Cash for Passports revelations and ending of the scheme

Re: I think this will put the cat amongst the pigeons

Reports on Friday said that despite the humiliation from the resignation, Syllouris, 67, would be getting a golden handshake in the region of €100,000 on top of the around €160,000 he received for his term as MP. Moreover, the former House president will get to keep the service limo – whose expenses...

Re: Cashback at the Supermarket

I would have thought that it was a no brainer to offer cash back to customers a) It replaces a service that the Banks are failing to provide with branch closures b) Cashing up at the end of the day is quicker with less cash to count and reconcile c) Less need/risk for the staff/security personnel fo...
