Great news Al that you are getting away after a very tough year. I have a bit of time on my hands at that time so I may just jump a plane over for a few days to have a drink with you. Flights are 90 return and Villa is only 100 for the week. MRs Stelios like a break some times from me. My son who works hard could do with a few days as well. Smash and grab break we call itPaphosAL wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2017 8:48 pm Thanks for the tips regarding adding WhatsApp to my Samsung Galaxy Ace smartphone, folks! I will get that installed tomorrow, in readiness. Amazing how far technology has come...
In the old days of Paphos stays, with no mobile, and drinking at the Geranium in Bar St each night, I used to buy a Cy£10 phone card regularly and pop over the road to a Cyta phone booth to make a short call to wifey in UK at around 9pm local time, just to make sure there were no problems on the home front.
Why a short call? Well, in those days, Cyta were charging around Cy£1 per minute to call UK. You could see your credit reducing on the lcd display, like the petrol guage in a Jaguar V12. Ouch! That was if you were lucky enough to get connected in the first place...
Very difficult to hear the person you were calling too, due to six nearby bars pumping out very loud muzak...
Thanks again! AL
