I see no one has actually addressed the question of why their lifestyle is better than that of the average Cypriot.

.... anyone venture a nugget?

So why is your Zeitgeist better than Cypriot Zeitgeist?

Oracle,
It depends what your lifestyle is. Can you enlarge and tell us with your experience what comprises the Cypriot lifestyle?

BB, please remember that the lady has lived her formative years in the UK. Her lifesyle would be more british than Cypriot.

Miltiades.....

I could have chosen an English word ..... LIFESTYLE ... instead of a snazzier German one.

I provided a definition at the start of the thread so that anyone such as yourself, is quite clear on what I mean ...

Next time I'll provide reading glasses too

Anyway ....

Many congratulations in anticipation of your new grandchild...

And in true Cypriot Zeitgeist ... I cannot resist predicting the sex ...

It will be a boy .... no doubt .... 100% sure.

Spot on OP a Boy indeed !!

Vivre Le Cypriot Zeitgeist!

I am never wrong!

CONGRATULATIONS

.... and many more to come!

xxxxx

(N.B. Party poopers: If it's La instead of Le ... I don't care ... it's a boy!)

Neber say never OrPh. I can count at least two instances when you were wrong, but then who cares.

It is the prospective grand dads day and a pre-emptive congratulations are in order.

OK .... so they are not quite as large as hers!

In true British style, they are too "stiff-upper-lip" to put themselves under the spotlight.

However, the question doesn't apply just to Brits.

Yes, Deniz I have had the benefit of both cultures, fairly equally ....

How can we forget you OrP? Every other Thread carries your name. What is one to do? The only way to forget you is that you forget YOU.


There is nothing better or worse with the Cypriot lifestyle. Its just different and more suited to the Cypriot mentality. People have to realise that what makes different cultures interesting is there differences.That is what makes us unique. They can like it or lump it. Variation is what makes life interesting. I stopped going to Spain for my holidays (atleast I have given up the Costa's) for that very reason. If I wanted to see lager louts getting pissed, I dont need to go to Spain to see them. My neighbours have stopped going to Ayia Napa for the same reason.

There is a cold front coming from the Atlantic, bring much lower temperatures. Northern England will have more rain and some snow showers. Tuesday and Wednesday will also be wet and cool. (mainly in the northerncounties.) One sooting in Camberwell yesterday and one stabbing early this morning. Harry is back home.


Dont you have Parental Control on your PC? Or who else do you think we should blame (for the unauthorised threads)/

Believe me Bucksboy when I say that animal welfare in Cyprus has improved over the years , cruelty to animals when I was a young boy growing up in Cyprus was rampant. Those of my compatriots who often state that cruelty to animals also exists in the UK fail to see the difference . The "system" in the UK not only comes abhors such acts it also has in place laws governing cruelty to animals , and such vile acts are committed by " criminal" elements and the mentally unstable , where in Cyprus such acts are committed by otherwise sensible and reasonable people who fail to see anything wrong in mistreating their animals. Education is working , the Brits and Charlies ( English Cypriots ) are contributing a great deal towards educating and changing outdated perceptions of animals.
Back to the Cypriot way of life , I think the family strong links are admirable , the fact that the parents consider it their duty to provide for their children , not having to be forced by legal means , hospitality and integrity form a great aspect of the overall Cypriot way of life. I'm lucky I can take the good from the British way of life and the good from the Cypriot way of life !!!

Miltiades,
I'm certain you are right that animal welfare has improved over the years and I would like to think (with Oracle's permission!) that this is in some way due to the British influence. There is still a long way to go but as you say, this comes about with education and I hope that the new shelter in Paphos will be able to assist in this. Some however may see this influence as meddling and imposing our will on foreigners but where do you draw the line? Our main purpose is to relieve the suffering of animals and if this brings about change, then so be it. In this case, it is for the best surely?

As for the Cypriot way of life I too think the strong family links etc. are admirable and I see family life in the UK gradually being eroded by various factors but of course, the majority of British families display little differences to Cypriot families in the way they look after their children and old folk. Just look at the families on holiday in Paphos....the majority behave impeccably. I do however slightly disagree about integrity among some Cypriots and property developers/lawyers in particular but I don't want to open up another can of worms.

Thanks for your support....we need more like you at the "PAWS" dog shelter!

Bucksboy .... you're just passing the buck!

I set the question, you are the guest: now answer .... if you can?

Oracle,
I never pass the buck. And I don't EVER respond to commands.
Now Oracle, perhaps you should jump down from your throne and enlighten us all about the Cypriot way of life dear.
