Paphos Life

Max to be fair , my grandmother could play center forward for Bayern and still win the league, wining the league for eleven years in a row, just shows it is a one team league. :lol: It is not good enough for them to win the German league only, but they have to be more successful in the Champions Le...

Many UK businesses charge extra for card payments especially takeaways - They often have a notice on the counter advising that a £2 charge will be added for card payments as most prefer cash Are shops allowed to charge for card payments UK?

May well be illegal but plenty sellers do it especially as i said in the UK - I have no idea the cost of processing a card payment but seems many do not want to pay it themselves and try to pass the cost on to the customer - Or maybe they don't want card payments full stop and just want cash Ive ne...

Absolutely not. They should be reported.

You know for a fact that Cyprus doesn't abide by EU rules, another I heard it down the pub post

The Police in Paphos do not see it as a problem. This was the answer I got from a Desk Sergent when I asked him about it several years ago. Who is it in Nicosia we can complain to when we don't think Paphos police are doing their job? I would like to highlight this but it would be useful if I had t...

According to all the media reports in the UK, thousands of cats have died in Cyprus, if that were humans, I'm sure that it would be classed as an epidemic. So is this true or not, is the question, are all the reports falsified? And, if it is not true, why are Cypriot vets using anti Covid drugs, on...

Although the charge is different it concerns a a British person, this time previously convicted of murder, subsequently overturned, by a different judge and with the presence of a UK barrister.. The charge reduc...

A couple of years ago I regularly had to park in the Mall myself when NO places available in the hospital car park.Used to drop the wife at the hospital and then pop up the road to the mall to park, inconvenient but there is no where else once the hospital car park is full.Catch 22. I am not having...

Accdrding to EU consumer laws, the store only has to give you a cash refund, if they can not fix or replace the item, If goods you bought anywhere in the EU turn out to be faulty or do not look or work as advertised, the seller must repair or replace them free of charge or give you a price reduction...

Nicosia is very built up and short on parking, I suspect that many office workers use the mall for convenient reasons The malll is on the outskirts of Nicosia, the main culprits of using the mall carpark are visitors to the Nicosia General hospital, which is across the road to the mall A couple of ...

These are very hard to control , especially for people who have never driven them before, the authorities should consider the restriction on who can rent these out.
