Well I have just had my first run-in with a Cypriot Male ... three to be precise.

Suffice it to say that their adopted stance over a dispute was to get me to do as they had decided was the right course of action. I refused knowing full well that by English Law (and hence Cypriot Law) they were clearly in the wrong and I was indisputably right.

I did not like their imposition of male dominance... so I called the police.

They laughed ... as it soon surmised, with the rapid response of the local (very handsome, but too young policeman ) ... that the fuzz was clearly a close relative /friend.

Undaunted and spurred on with my usual fight for the right ... I talked the policeman into seeing reason after he spent an unnecessarily long time trying to convince me that as the female, I should back down, give way through lack of witnesses, abort due to hassles of pursuing further etc.

To cut a long story short ... .... I bombarded the otherwise dishy cop with a (meagre) knowledge of the Law he was supposed to be upholding, the fact that I had the freedom and strength to follow this through to full justice, though petty, out of principle!

And would you believe it ... after asking me to be left alone with the three "amigos" they all came back, apologized in a manner that almost reduced me to tears, declared how wrong they had been, that they would never allow a situation to develop in that way again and with full assurances from the policeman ....... not only was I given full permission to carry on with what I was intending to do, but his three friends where ordered to complete the job for me ......

Well .... Cypriot men ... they are used to getting their own way because the women love them too much and never say boo....

As always, justice, truth, rights are my concerns and they will be applied wherever and whenever I see them being ignored.... I am not biased ... no matter how much I love Cypriots ...

To all those that whinge about nepotism in Cyprus ... NOT TRUE ... they are as likely to follow the rule of Law as anywhere else... you just have to point it out to them.

Surely others have been pleasantly surprised in this way?

Madam, would you care to tell us what it was that you were doing in the first place.

The suspense is killing me. You just never know I might find myself in the same situation. Unless it was something girlie.

Waiting ......

Maybe you are exhibiting the typical Cypriot Male Mentality ...

Surely it is not important what the dispute was (not girlie) ... just that when discussed rationally, any dispute can be resolved favourably and fairly ... despite the temptation that the policeman must have felt to side with his long standing friends / relatives.

I was relieved that the factor I was most warned about in a village (nepotism) would be overriding ... It clearly was not ...

I applaud that young (dishy ) cop for doing the right thing above and beyond the call of duty (I would have settled for a mere apology)...

He clearly deserves a bottle off Scotch ..... if that would not be misconstrued as a bribe ...

So they were builders then?

Bloody hell, you're a right one aren't you! Cops, builders...you like your uniforms. Maybe you should have got the fire brigade round to complete the set.

If he was that fit, why didn't you get his number and ask him to go on a date?

Well I could not stop staring innocently into his hazel eyes.... but my ten year old son kept tugging at my sleeve, reminding me to stick to the facts...

Cypriot cops eh.

They must be a right dodgy bunch!

Couldn't think of any authority I could trust less!
