Re: MUKW3 and Driving Licence Question
You should be able to do this at through the Citizens Advice Centre. You will need to make an appointment. They should also tell you what documents you will need to bring with you.

Re: Excitement at Troodos peak?
Agree with you! I don't see any reason to go there. It must have been cold, slushy/muddy and probably slippery as well. Also too foggy to see any views.
Probably some don't bother to check the weather forecast!

Re: Troodos story
Hi Devil, I'm enjoying reading your story too! You are also a talented writer. Hope to hear more about what you encountered. Did you tell us what time (year) you arrived in Cyprus. I'm guessing it was late 50's or 60's. Cyprus was so different then, pleasantly undeveloped.

Re: Winter lets approx. 1 month?
Maybe it might be worth looking for a holiday let? Problem now is that there have been big influxes of people from countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Israel and others. This results in pressure on available housing stock and an increase in rental costs. Particularly in and around Paphos.

Re: Decision on energy bill hikes go down to the wire
Absolutely true! But the EAC has also been dragging its heels over the need to replace the old diesel generators at Dhekeleia which are burning heavy fuel oil which is causing massive air pollution. For this Cyprus is paying huge penalties to buy carbon credits. If these generators were replaced and...

Re: Paphos - Chloraka Coast Path - Part 3
I've walked the new section which joins the previous path from the Elysseum to the car park at Apollo Villas, Chloraka, This has joined Chloraka to Paphos -on foot. Its a pleasant walk and easy due to the new path. But be aware, the coastal path here has no shade from the sun, or shelter in rain. Al...

Re: M&S in Shopping Mall, Paphos to stop selling food items
True. I always go there, they are much better stocked now with a wider range of foods and biscuits!
The top floor of the building has reduced lines of their clothes, while the basement stocks mens clothes and household linens, towels and duvets etc.

Re: Troodos story
When in the RAF here I was told that some people had done this as a challenge... When I first arrived in Cyprus in 1968, a friend drove us up to visit the RAF base there, I think that by then 'the new road' had been built, but he pointed out a very narrow, corkscrew-ing road on the other side of a r...

Re: Airlines,fact or myth?
I'm not sure about airlines raising prices if one is trying to compare prices by clicking on their website more than one before booking. I find that with Easyjet the price of a flight goes up. Also they state if others are booking the same flight as you. Such things as "only 2 seats left at thi...

Re: TOTK BUS DEPOT STILL NOT READY
Well done, Clive! Seems incredible that measurements of these big buses turning radius weren't taken into consideration when planning it. So did the man-in the pub know what authorities plan to do about that?
Alternatively, use could be made of it as a scooter riders training area...

Re: TOTK BUS DEPOT STILL NOT READY
The puzzling thing about the new bus station on ToTK Rd,is that it appears to be more or less finished, but deserted. Though as I prophesied earlier it seems popular as a car park. It seems as if bus drivers are contented to bunch up together at the back of the big car park close to the Leptos Headq...

Re: M and S purchase.
Agree, M&S have a very strict stock control within each branch. In the past it seemed easier to change an item, I guess its probably down to having a computerised stock control system where each item must be accounted for. When I was in the UK, I was unable to change a sweater bought in one bran...
