Re: Where does May go from here...

Maybe we should have a second referendum:- Q. Leave with a deal/Leave with no deal. Delete as applicable. Jim, I'm sorry you had such a rough deal before we joined the EU, I was a young woman in the sixties, and I had a fabulous time. I had a good job, and owned my own home, unlike many young people...

Devil, I assume you are referring to the money Britain borrowed to fight Germany, ironic isn't it.

Re: Where does May go from here...

Why oh why do some people assume that people who voted to leave, had no idea what they were voting for ? A lot of us remember what Britain was like before we joined the EU, it wasn't all poverty and mayhem. Our Government ruled us, not Europe, we didn't pay millions to Europe, we paid the people we ...

Re: Where does May go from here...

Another referendum would make a mockery of democracy, we all had the opportunity to vote, a lot of us did, end of.

What's all this 'peoples vote', if it wasn't people who voted the first time, who was it, little green men from Mars ?

Re: Beautiful sunshine - excellent fish lunch (pics)

I enjoy your pics Max, because sadly, it's not likely that I will be able to return to the Island any time soon. They bring back very happy memories for me, and thank you for that.

Re: The UK’s expansionist policy towards the EU pre 2012

We also have a lot of rough sleepers on our streets, many of whom are ex Forces who have served our country in Iraq or Afghanistan, but who are thrown on the scrap heap when they need their country to help them.

Re: Police will target Wrongful Disabled Bay parking next week.

I just wish this would happen in the UK.

Disabled bays are abused all the time in supermarket car parks, which invariably means that a disabled driver has to walk a fair distance. If you say anything to the people responsible you just get sworn at.

Re: Food Mystery

Trevor, The alarming thing is that the cats sense of smell is telling them not to eat it, but to us, it smells ok. What rubbish we are putting into our stomachs is certainly a cause for concern as I see it. Bring back the good old family butcher, supermarkets are far too dodgy. We have an excellent ...

They won't be easy to get rid of in Paphos, someone knows where they are. How sad that such a lovely statue is ruined.

Re: Food Mystery

Trevor, that's really scary, it just makes you wonder what the heck we are eating. This morning I offered chicken livers to both my cats, a rare treat or it used to be, one had a sniff and a lick or two and then left it, the other sniffed and walked away. :o

Food Mystery

I don't know if any animal owners in Cyprus are experiencing this, but both my cats are refusing to eat fresh meat. Our cats have always loved the trimmings from steak, and one cat pounced on cooked chicken, but recently both my cats sniff it and walk away. What is worrying me is that if they know t...

Re: Pair Fined 23,000 euros for Poaching

We shall see.

If the fine is not paid, maybe a stretch behind bars might be a good idea, just to make sure that they really get the message.
