Paphos Life

The 'new' car park behind the former police station, has meters. Its €1 for 4 hrs. Ihave seen the parking Meter man there during the day. Last night I joined others at the parking meter ticket machine. We all put our 1 euro into the machine and the ticket on the car. Just to make sure we didn't come...

Yes, the same thought came to me, BrenGreen. It does seem strange to allow people in lockdown areas to jet off to another country. Hopefully if he has a negative test result, it will remain negative when he is tested again.

As far as I know the Cypriot National Guard have neither night attack helicopters are anyone with the necessary training to fly them! The Cypriots may have a couple of small helicopters, but the large helicopters which are used for fire fighting are wet leased by the Govt each year for what may be c...

As far as I know only the RAF helicopter pilots are trained and tested for night flying. But in practice, since most of the serious fires are up in the Troodos mountains, it is considered too dangerous to use helicopters after dark to fight fires. Because of the uneven terrain and thick smoke reduci...

I've yet to even see a police car patrolling on the roads around Paphos... rather disappointing!
Just sometimes our fairly static police presence in Chloraka.

I hope Cyprus has some young people who are better suited for responsible jobs, than those yobs who did this.

I think that whoever reported this horrible crime in the media as a school prank, deserves to lose his job as he obviously doesn't understand the English language well enough to report events or crimes using the correct terms. This awful crime was no trivial or indeed laughing matter.

Given the continuing battle to reduce the number of Covid cases in Cyprus, and the problems that all countries are having with this virus, is it so surprising that people are simply taking their countries travel advice, to only make use of essential air travel? So, many people are taking their holid...

Mouse. I agree with you! Besides, the more complex modern cars are, even when you have got used to their confusing array of switches and dials, you then become reliant on their on board computerized system. Then something goes wrong. No longer can you rely on the experienced but relatively less tech...

I have the same requirements re finding a manual car, as your previous poster Staffie', whose wife also wanted a manual one.. A few years ago I was trying to buy a new small manual geared car. Particularly a Honda Jazz. I had many conversations with their salesman who kept trying to convince me that...

You could ask your doctor. Maybe they can advise you if/where this test is or maybe is available.

There seem to be few problems regarding outbound mail arriving at the UK address. It is the incoming mail from the UK which is so unpredictable. My sister sent me a burtday present from the UK In late May, from Amazon. It has never arrived.😂 Also since the lockdown ended, and even when normal flight...

For supposedly unbiased reporting have you tried the Observer? They say they are not affiliated with any political party and can report independently also The Manchester Guardian. Why limit your views to what the Daily Mail, Express, Times and Telegraph report?. Personally, I like the Telegraphs sty...

I hope that the police do take action against as many drivers who are guilty of this as possible. Driving one handed, mobile clamped to ear seems to be a national obsession here. Particularly some drivers of HGV's -so dangerous.

Until now, I had no idea that the old system for obtaining a Cyprus driving license was being abused by some. I have always applied for a driving license, including renewal, with a personal appearance with my documents at the Transport Office on Polis Rd, or latterly at the Citizens Help Office. The...

Hi All I am trying again, as I am hoping that someone who has Gas Central Heating, could help by telling me if there are some experienced and reliable Companies or individuals who are gas fitters and can install a central heating system in my house, please? I am hoping to find a heating system at an...

My initial request was for information concerning names of companies or individuals who are experienced at installing domestic gas central heating. As gas heating is still popular in Cyprus hopefully someone reading this could help me? I have a 2 bed semi detached house, so quite a small area to hea...

I am thinking about having Gas CH installed in my house. It is two bed, semi detached.The house doesn't have provision for this built in. Can anyone who has had this type of heating installed while living there, recommend a good,properlytrained and experienced, reliable individual or company, please...

Anyone who treats all news stories as reported in the tabloids as gospel needs to get out more!! Its much better to buy a good news paper like the Guardian or the Observer whose reporting standards are better. I used to buy the Daily Mail long time ago where it was a broad sheet paper and before Rup...

Mouse did you read my last sentence.? "No one should have been offended in my view."
Perhaps you should read the full post before commenting,
