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: Looking for recommendations for a new Bank Account

I find that an interesting reply because I'm trying to do the complete opposite i.e. to access my accounts without having to go through smart phone. I'm told that the bank cannot ensure security without having to dial-hop between the computer and mobile: I would like the bank to "forget definit...

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 :) :)

Re: Very hot for the time of the year... 34c/10AM

How hot is a piece of string? It all depends on tens of variables and, unless you have a sophisticated system, there is little chance of getting away with it. I have three weather stations, each with a sophisticated temperature measuring system. You will all have seen photographs of the white wooden...

Re: Easter fireworkx

Compared to the hundreds of square miles of out-of-control wildfires in the USA this year, the same in the steppes of Russia and more recently in Australia, one bonfire adds nothing to the global total. True, but some of the chemicals in fireworks are a hell of a sight worse than the gunpowder itse...

Re: Shoppers opting for local meat this year due to costlier imports

I hope they have a good crystal ball because the slaughtering should be carried out several days before sale/consumption. They may find that butchers are left with quite a quantity of perfectly good meat and the price should go down after Easter. We have been on a fillet of pork jag lately; the pric...

Re: Travelxp Channel - 10 Days, Cyprus

I have been rereading a number of books that people have written on their experiences within the country. Some of these I haven't opened for over 20 years but they still make interesting reading particularly contrasting then and now. Finks ain't what they used to be! Some may be for the better but s...
