Paphos Life

Well, like owning a car without living in CY, there's another illegal thing.

Just looked on Holiday Lettings and it says "5,683 Holiday homes"! Maybe there are a similar number on other sites and/or privately advertised, so only 10K illegals!!

Outlook han't gone anywhere. It is still very much an integral part of Office. It was Outlook Express that no longer exists. Maybe there was a confusion? Good old MS, they had ... Outlook as part of MS Office so they then made Outlook Express a slightly slimmed down (and free) version of Outlook th...

Am looking to rent out our property just a few months of the year. Can anyone recommend any reliable agents for Universal area I assume you mean for furnished holiday lets? We put ours with Holiday Lettings / Trip Advisor https://www.holidaylettings.co.uk/ Property 199631 if you want to look. :)

OK = you win

We've only been with them for about 20 years whilst illegally owning two cars!

You forgot to mention, James, that over that 18 year period, you have also paid CyGov loads of dosh in Road Tax and MOT- not to mention continuous Insurance, in order to make your car 100% street legal... Oh yes ... that reminds me .... pay the road tax ... :oops: (Or should I be like MG and not pa...

Well, we bought our first car on a V97 plate (remember them??) duty free; then in about 2000 (?) we swapped to a duty paid car (with a HEM plate) .... so it looks like we've been owning illegally for coming up to 18 years now!

Hi Jackie

Glad you sorted it yourself - I got fed up with avast and it's annoying pop-ups and problems so, I uninstalled it and put on Bit Defender (free) which currently is the best free AV in the latest Which magazine.

so what your saying is you need to be a resident to register a car here? different to most other replys? We own a house in Tala which we use for holidays only - we have never lived in CY We imported a car in 2013 and registered it with the relevant authorities using our Tala address without problem...

HMRC give the rate for us UK tax payers ... is that a good guide?

https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... 17-monthly

We advertise our property with Holiday Lettings, (but it's in Tala .. nowhere near the Harbour)

Maybe search on there?

If it's the same machine as the one in the MSE discussion, then the HDD is somehow fixed and swapping isn't possible. Must be worth asking though!

Thanks all

So ... pre-book for €10 (and possibly encounter problems like Trev did) or pay on the door for €10

Hmmm, decisions decisions!

I know it's been asked several times before, sorry, but just asking for the latest news ...

If someone takes our car to Paphos airport on a Tuesday evening in April and then we arrive on Wednesday evening to collect it, what will the charge be??
Any what unforeseen problems might there be??

Had anyone else just started to pay costs for statements & mailing costs at the BoC ? I just logged into my BoC on line account to check ... no statement or mailing costs. We've been charged 3c defence charge (they used to send us a form to opt out, but they don't any more!) and have received 1...

Not certain, but I think so ...... did it mention that in the MSE link I quoted?

There's a long discussion here ....

The best suggestion on there is to send it back

Mrs B went to specsavers a few times but wasn't happy despite going back a couple of times. She went with her glasses to George's Optical House and George soon realised that S/S had got her prescription wrong :roll: We live in the UK but always get glasses from George during our trips to CY http://g...

I stay permanently logged in - why do folks log out?

Don't thnk u r bein a grump - thnk they r quite unprofessional!

Anarita John, you don't need speedy boarding for the fast track at Manchester. Just go to the Airport website and you can buy passes for £7.50 for two, I've used it a couple of times recently. Have to agree, well worth it. I'm not sure it's 'well worth it' at all :D We took 90 minutes to get throug...
