We have done it several times previous (using the same materials and method as our other flat roof which is fine) but it now needs doing again. We have asked several ...

Re: Driving in Cyprus

You can have a provisional license in Cyprus at 17.5 but cannot take your test until you're 18. Check with your insurance company if they will accept a UK provisional license, if they will you can get third party insurance for him at an extremely cheap rate compared to the UK but no insurance compan...
