RicherdB...let the boy alone...he doesnt have to learn everything because he live there.

By the way, the cob is famous during the summer and I can understand your logic but some local customers they even know where they have to buy their corn. I dont really know why but they say the butter or the corn they use is different.


Ice-cream, lokmades, corn and nuts are the snacks of the night walk next to the sea! You will find lots of them near Finikoudes - Larnaca and to Limassol to the Molo area!



yeah ok i was sort of asking the questions in a joking kind of way, but really i do not understand the logic of how they think they are going to make a living, selling the same product in one area :?
yes as pointed out it has been going on for years and yes who am i to come over here, criticise and take the piss, but i just don't get it :shock:

i had a fight with one of them near TGI Fridays... he told me to move my car from Municipal parking!!! i said, look.. i doubt you have a license to sell stuff on Municipal parking + taking 3 parking lots on Saturday nights..there is just no way, then he tried to show me some permits etc... annoyed with his presence, i moved my car just for the sake of it... he could have scratch it or somethin.... chances of finding a parking spot at that time is almost 0 :(
