Re: Bank account - without residence permit

You could try The International Business Unit of the Bank of Cyprus and although they will charge you an annual fee once you are in the system you can move your account to a Branch. It is situated above the BoC branch just up from Kennedy Square at the traffic lights and you can get to it from there...

Re: Traffic cameras being erected in Paphos

I have seen one too on the road up from the fountain to Mesogi. It had a warning sign about 100yards before it. It was parked opposite the Wedding Planners building, a small white van with the back doors open.

Re: Lidl and Superhome Centre to open in old Orphanides Mall ??

That, together with the suggestion of underground parking (which doesn't exist at the moment), means complete demolition and new-build in my view. So what happened to the underground parking that was there when I used to shop at Orphanides and the adjacent shoe shop? Yes, I can remember accessing t...

I think this will be my last word on the subject but it just shows the ongoing commitment of the Government to produce Hydrogen at a reasonable cost.

I think on this subject it is as well to have a broad outlook and an open mind. I agree that an open mind is required but there is so li...
