Re: Why I would not live in Cyprus

Re: Why I would not live in Cyprus

Re: Why I would not live in Cyprus

SO what if Brits Abroad want to take their dogs out with them, at least they have had the decency to either take the dog with them or otherwise give a stray a good home

Talk about missing the...

Re: Why I would not live in Cyprus

Eh? Where exactly did I admit that I lacked social graces? Can you quote the relevant post? :confused: Whether I do or don't is for other people to say and has nothing whatever to do with the theme...

Re: Why I would not live in Cyprus

Fair comment. But my post was referring to the Peyia area so:

Peyia is well known to be little Britain and many of the Brits who live there do in fact act as if they own the island.


Well said...

Re: Why I would not live in Cyprus

Seriously though. My point was not about material possessions. I firmly believe in the old adage:...

Re: Why I would not live in Cyprus

Fascinating stuff, about Germany and possessive whachyamacallits and lederhosen. And you agree that learning Greek is a waste of time for the average ex-pat. Many thanks.

Re: Why I would not live in Cyprus

From the point of view of a not very well travelled individual, what the heck are you talking about ?? :confused:

Re: Why I would not live in Cyprus

I am not suggesting that they should speak English to accommodate British ex-pats moving to Cyprus.

Re: Why I would not live in Cyprus

The official language of the Republic of Cyprus is, of course, Greek.

However the percentage of the population with a good command of English is a massive 84%. Source: Wikipedia. So your post is...

Re: Why I would not live in Cyprus

Your posts don't really make sense. So you don't understand and you are announcing : love Cyprus. Not much of a contribution to the thread.

But while we are on the subject of quoting greek:

Re: Why I would not live in Cyprus

Sorry to you too Bud, but you didn't read my post.

Why I would not live in Cyprus

Love the country. Love the climate (mostly). Always got on well with greek cypriots.

I owned a villa in Peyia for 20 years. I sold it last year to a Russian.

So why would I not live in Cyprus?...
