Am hoping to have maybe £25k for living expenses would that prove difficult to be allowed to stay?
No problems at all with the €28K that will not be a stopper to live here, many of us manage with a lot less, but do take notice of what the members are saying to you.

Re: Around the world with Amazon

[quote=DavidatLWH post_id=37550 time=1507875109 user_id=602] Two weeks ago I ordered a toaster from Amazon. It is being sent from their warehouse in Germany, using DHL <sigh>. It is trackable, so occasionally I've been monitoring its progress, or lack of it. It moved within Germany after a couple o...

Not uncommon for members just to look in and not be logged into the forum, at anyone time there is usually a so-called guest looking in, normal this.

Re: Speed Bumps - Refurbishment

[quote=Dominic post_id=37215 time=1507614229 user_id=157] I would disagree. When we first started visiting Cyprus the traffic lights were routinely ignored. It was real pot luck.

Re: Speed Bumps - Refurbishment

The driving standards on Cyprus are appalling, I drive to conditions but we seem to be on our own, I cannot see any improvement in my time here, truly dreadful. :roll: As for sleeping policemen , (speed bumps) the best that seems to last the longest are the hard rubber type, they are not painted.
