Re: New labels coming to petrol pumps

Who is the person who devised this new system. It looks very confusing with unleaded. why 3 types of markings. what is E85 for example. if you have to have this imposed on us why not just add the letters to the old system which we can all understand at present. I am glad that in the UK we are leavin...

Re: Sticky situation for TUI over "sexist" badges given on Paphos-Bristol flight

It seems nowadays it takes only one complaint for it to go viral all I can say is the woman complainant needs to get a life. the badge in itself is not sexist in any way only the complainants mind.

Re: Holiday in the Turkish side

Photolady are you sure about the rate of the £ verses the TRL. it looks as if it has gone up on your figures. are you putting the decimal point in the wrong place. it shows an increase about 70 TRL to the £ if so what a bargain

Re: Insurance

Re: Erdogan closing net on Turkish Cypriots

I think they need to be concerned about the net closing on the TRNC. If ever there was a reason to open the negotiations again, now would seem appropriate. Turkey is definitely coming under the foot of the president. He is flexing his authority more and more each day.

Re: Boris Johnson has now resigned lol

talk about kicking a person when they are down. so what is his next move, is it move over Primeminister I want the job. between them all they are going to force a climbdown over Brexit and we will probably get what that creature Blair is wanting a reversal.

Re: Curry House Bar Street

have eaten at Namaste on several occasions and have found that "the street food" is excellent and well worth the visit. I normally keep well away from Bar street as being in the older age bracket, but for the evening meal upto about 9pm you will not be disappointed.

Re: Nicosia International Airport: The Cypriot airport abandoned for 44 years

what a beautiful airliner the TRIDENT was and a great shame than an airport can just be left to rot........shame on all Cypriots allowing this to continue for so long. the answer is within reach but they just won't work it out.

I always suspend my insurance from fully to 3rd party only when not in use and stored at the airport. they always give me a rebate on this and I get the reduction...
