There seems to be a group of Cypriot people who have studied and/or lived in the UK especially in the fifties and sixties, that have this OVERWHELMING NEED to defend the UK no matter what...

Nothing wrong with that. Being grateful to the country and the people that helped you stand on your feet when your own country and people couldn't shows integrity of character. How would you feel if you saw immigrants in Cyprus express anti-Cypriotness while benefiting from everything the government offers them? I believe the real "Horiates" are the people who, although they've spent a good part of their life in England and took advantage of it's pro-immigrant policy, are still fanatically anti-British.

Hear Hear , people who attained some sort of mediocre educational standard thanks to the British Educational system , are now firmly positioned against Britain and the West in general. They appear to have a heavy chip on their shoulder , desperately needing to blend in with the the "norm" position of most of their contemporaries.
You can put the blame squarely on the shoulders of successive British governments for their short failings on the Cyprus issue , but you can not blame an entire nation nor can you demand support when such virulent anti West sentiments are expressed.

I've have experiences with Royal Horiatis Syndrome, many a times but yet they love to come to Cyprus two to three times a year and take haloumia, anaraes and loukanika gallore back to the UK each times

[cypezokyli]

no need to look for "royal horiatis" syndrom in england.

we have a number of them in cyprus.
left the village , worked hard, made some money - and suddenly.... he/she forgets his/her backround and not only thinks that suddenly became part of the elite but he/she starts to despice the "villagers".

you want to find them ? they are in athens / ermou street saturday morning. they visit athens for a weekend for shopping in the morning and bouzoukia to a famous skyli at night.

Spot On Matey . But I will bet you something kid . Standing next to me might just highlight your shortcomings and feel somewhat suicidal , you see Im exactly what you aspire to be but will never make it. I also drive a Lambo , the diabolical type , only when when I feel frisky !! No gold watch though , and I never carry money , all my teeth are fully paid for , couldn't afford the gold , and dont do white socks. Tell you what son , lets shake hands make up and meet me at Kourion beach on Saturday , will buy you a soda !!

No thanks, I'd rather watch the grass grow...

Impudence with you is a virtue , a characteristic generally associated with narcissist tendencies of " Adonian " proportions , fancying ones self and considering how dapper they are. You have shown utter contempt for 250 thousand Cypriots , repudiated the efforts of those Cypriots who carry the torch for Cyprus year on year and have expressed the wisdom associated with half wits , of introducing into the Cyprus arena mercenaries to get Turkey out of Cyprus. This from a man that , as I said above , considers impudence a virtue. Carry on watching the grass grow , you are harmless this way.

Miltiades, you’ll probably still find your last dump lying at the top of the pile in the makeshift hole you were using for a toilet in Paphos and yet as you first walked through the Victoria station gates and “unleashed” yourself in London you probably thought you had a destined encounter with the Queen’s Royal arse!

Btw, I was tertiary educated in Australia Miltiades and chances are that I have attained a level or two higher than yours judging by your obvious ABUSE of the English language...

i can tell you from personal experiance fo cypritos living in the uk they are still living the village life amigo and if they werent cyprus would not export somany goods that cypriots enjoy from hamounin to black eye beans ect ect , and its the demand for village cooking that keeps this export from cyprus going, the mojorety of cypriots go to cypriot shops to buy cypriots products. not only do they eat cypriot foods every day and enjoy them but they still have the village mentality in the uk , nowhere in the world you will hear someoen shouting across the road at someone they know by means of the word brrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuyyyyyyyyyyyyyyoooooooooooooo term used in sheep hurding in cyprus,tie applies to both turkish speaking and greek speaking cypriots in the uk and your actualy telling me becouse of money they are changed people, chris lezaris who is worth 500 million was often seen eating in the same cypriot working mens cafe that used to eat at ,,,,,,,they used to make black eye with greens and fasulya with potatoes, with olive oil and lemon with large chunks of cypriot bread and onion and olives, actualy this is a healthy diet lol

The funny thing is that the people from this group were are all BORN & RAISED in Cyprus, were excellent specimens of the typical "horiatis" of Cyprus, and yet once they had spent a few years, or decades, in England seem to be convinced that they have acquired British Royal Blood in their veins!

A typical characteristic of this weird bunch is that they LOVE to criticize Cyprus, put down the Cypriot people, and adore the "west"! They LOVE to go on about how "small" and "insignificant" the Cypriots are and probably have premature ejaculations running down their pants when they talk about how mighty the "US" or "Britain" is and always include themselves as if they are a part of it!

I've always been puzzled by this bizarre phenomenon and have named it the "Royal Horiatis Syndrome"!

Are you familiar with this phenomenon and do you suspect any forum member suffering from it?

Well here's one Englishman who wants to do the reverse! I can't stand living there any more, that's why I'm having a house built in Cyprus, am learning Greek and intend to live as a Cypriot(or as near as damnit!)

The response expected from an overbearing schmuck who has confused the meaning of uncultivated pompous ass , which he is , to GR which he is not.
