Re: How much do you drink?
The NHS advice differs from site to site:
https://www.leicestershospitals.nhs.uk/ ... -too-much/
This says it's up to 28 units a week for men, 21 for women.

Re: Knee problems.
Voltarol and Voltaren are the same. Voltarol is the UK trade name.(check the Voltaren web site) I was recommended Voltaren Emugel here for tendinitis, as I cannot take ant-inflammatory tablets. As HiC says, it is remarkably good. However, when I went back to the UK recently I was surprised, to say t...

Re: Cold last night.
Dee: I think you'll find that the fuses inside a house - certainly older ones (10+ years) - are for overload only. That's why they rarely trip. The main fuse - often outside the property or in a communal area - is a safety fuse which trips more frequently.

It's here:

Scroll down to Red Categories, which includes UK. As far as I can see, no exemption for usual category of passengers (Cyprus citizens, permanent residents etc.)

Re: Booster Jabs...
We're not in GESY. We had text messages on Dec 1, the 6th month anniversary of our 2nd jab, saying we were now eligible for the booster, and we should use the walk-in vaccination centers. No mention of limitation to any specific day of the week.

Re: Coronavirus: Concerns over Omicron trigger more travel curbs, UK detects cases (Update 3)
Thanks Photolady. We have booked two tests, but the receipts for the tests don't indicate which of two possible numbers on the receipts are the ones to use on the PLF. Does anyone know how many digits there are in this important code? T.I.A. The booking reference on the PLF will initially indicate ...

You can also book a test on arrival at the airport test centres. Just Google the airport name and 2 day test to see the options, Jeanne From my experience, booking a test at the airport centre is best. I ordered the test kit by post from Randox. When I came to do the test, I found that the buffer s...

Re: Speeding fines
It's only 2 years. My neighbour hadn't been out since December 2019 and when they came recently they had to go to the Road Transport Department twice and re-register their car and pay a hefty fee.

Re: Post Office customs duty/vat payment
Many thanks, Trev.
The odd thing is that the book I mentioned is a gift from my sister. I'm surprised I have to pay anything on that. Next time, she can ask a friend to bring anything in their suitcase!
Yes, I'll go to the main post office. Not an experience to look forward to, though.

Post Office customs duty/vat payment
I've had a text message from Cyprus Post telling me that I have to pay the vat on a parcel (a small book!). They have sent me a link which doesn't work (https://cyprus.post-delivery.online/). I have already registered with Thalis, but that seems be unconnected as Thalis doesn't know my PO box number...

UK car hire with a CY licence
I travel back to the UK regularly and hire a car each time, previously using my UK licence (I have a UK address). I have recently changed my UK licence for a Cypriot one. I'm returning to the UK soon and having booked a car for hire through Avis, I noticed that it said in smallish print that "N...
