BBC QUESTION TIME
This is not a political post. I regret David Dimbleby leaving as the Question Time host and his replacement by Fiona Bruce. Fiona many times speaks so softly that I fail to catch what she's saying. Do I need to get my ears syringes or a hearing aid, or do others have the same problem? I do like Fion...

Re: Latest from the High Commissioner
Apparently, some airports have already changed the signage at immigration desks to read 'EU & UK passports'. Whether all airports will follow, we'll have to wait and see!

Re: Spam E-Mail
Of course! Anyone who opens it isn't living in this scam ridden world.
If I'd opened the 3 or 4 I receive in my Junk folder every day and if they weren't scams, I'd be the richest guy in Cyprus.

Re: Unusual or not?
Re the thermometers... If they are in direct sun, yes that is usual. Most people place their thermometers in the shade.. I normally have one in the sun and one in the shade, but becasue one in the sun read 42, I though it must be faulty, so brought my other into the full sun as a cross check. Re th...

Unusual or not?
Was amazed at how low the water was in the harbour yesterday afternoon. Is that normal this time of year?
The 2 thermometers on my patio in the direct sun this morning read 42C. Is that normal in early March?

Re: Cheapest car insurance for over 80s
My understanding is that it's possible to change insurance companies before you reach 80 yrs, but not after 80 yrs!

Re: Damp Problems
Most of the problems that I have come across with balconies is that they were never sealed properly before the tiles went down. Over the years the grout breaks down allowing water through. There can also be an issue with the skirting as they just sit on the tiles with nothing underneath and water c...

Re: Customs payments
One thing to remember is, if in the event of a 'no deal' brexit we should be able to claim back any VAT that we have paid on goods (with conditions) that we have purchased in UK whilst on holiday, as long as you have proof of residence in Cyprus (MEU1/3?). Theoretically we should then pay Cyprus VA...
