Paphos Life

No sympathy with XR, why should they expect ‘carte blanche’ to continually disrupt ordinary peoples lives? I applaud the angry commuters who decided to stop this groups mindless and dangerous action this morning. I hope those arrested by the police since last Monday are dealt with robustly by the co...

If you want professional help to revamp your kitchen to make the most of the space you have and the look that you want, I should speak to a kitchen design firm like Focal Points in Paphos. They will plan your kitchen to include the things that you want most into a good design. Maybe discuss with you...

Yes, it’s a shame this has happened. I agree with what you said, Jim GW. It was and should remain a way of commemorating service personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice.Often having acted with incredible fortitude and bravery on active service with HM military forces. And not made Remembrance Sund...

So far, I have had 2 plumbers to inspect the water meter, the first one was an independent one who checked everything, inside house, roof, water tanks and outside.No leaks were found. Then the Municipality plumber arrived to check the meter reading. Both plumbers said the meter isn’t running. It is ...

If it was in the spring one would be tempted to think that it was an April fool stunt.... what a crazy waste of public money that cycle way project was! But then Paphos has its rusting white elephant walkway going nowhere...

Hi All, I have just planted some new plants. But cats are using this bed as a toilet and digging it up. They are not my cats. Please can someone suggest what can be done to prevent or discourage cats from this smelly, unhygienic behaviour, before they wreck the plants? Suggestions welcome, please? Dee

Thanks for all the advice I’ve been given. Particularly that from Kay about her friends problem with a faulty meter. I will also check my water bill again.

Yes, I drive wearing good sandals which have 3 velcro straps, 2 over the foot and one around the heel. They are fine, never move. But I would not drive wearing flip flops or with bare feet. It’s common sense.

Hi All, I have recently had my water supply disconnected at the meter. On enquiring at my Village Municipality it seems that a meter reading, they say, shows that I used 4000 tons of water in the last 3 month period for a 2 bed townhouse with a tiny garden, mostly paved, no pool. I have had a reg pl...

That is exactly what Jim said, Lincoln. We were in Cyprus before CY joined the EU. At that time the pound sterling was worth a lot more than the CY pound... It was a very good time to build a house and that was what we were doing then 1999 - May 2000.,

Wait and see what the results actually are before passing judgement. Boris is known for blowing lots of hot air around which may not necessarily be the whole truth. But he seems to be able to convince the gullible. Lets hope that he can conjure up something which will be acceptable to all parties, e...

Yes, there is so much bad parking around Paphos. I wish the police would intervene sometimes especially when a vehicle is parked so as to be a danger to both pedestrians and other drivers. Or traffic wardens could go round ticketing those cars parked on pedestrian crossings, at road junctions, pavem...

Clive, that sounds right! We had 2 tax/duty free vehicles at one time. I sold mine when it reached 10 yrs old to avoid paying back the excise duty...

Just wondered if anyone else is getting fed up with the perpetual digging up, in sections of the ‘village road’, the one that runs past most of the shops? Recently the road was closed at a new place and the diversion sign directed me up a cul de sac, where several other roads which I tried either fi...

Lucie is so right in what she says. The law is an ass unless it can be enforced properly by the police and the Govt vets should also have a responsibility. Mind you, actually trying to enforce these animal protection laws is not easy as some owners of these poor animals can turn really nasty if thre...

Is that the age which qualifies a vehicle to be called a ‘classic’? If so there is a thriving Paphos Classic Car Club whose members own and drive on occasion such vehicles. They also take great pride in restoring them and keeping them in tip top condition...

How can there be a fair trial unless those youths who were alleged to have raped her can be extradited to appear at the trial? I think that she must be regarded as innocent unless or until proved otherwise.If indeed she was gang raped, surely she should have had a medical examination as soon as poss...

El Tel, The answer to your question is no. I am also in the same age group as you and also run an 11yr old car. I have never been offered any discount! It’s wishful thinking.... You need a similar type of car to Max to get the discount. Otherwise the no of cc’s of your car, plus its emission rate is...

Might be worth asking Immigration that question, Ian...
Or Gwenny.

Yes, that elevated walkway is an expensive white elephant. All that was needed in 2017 was a footbridge over Agios Pavlos Ave (road from Mall to the harbour) to make it safer for pedestrians to cross the busy road..
