You mean I am not the only one?....................... [/quote]


My heart is sooo generous. It would be selfish of me not to give as much out as I can. Nothing to do with being a man. Must be my Cypriot heritage.

Going back to the original question, here in Solihull, UK whilst about to cross the road while walking the dog with my wife, a wonderful local youth decided to throw an egg at me as they drove past. Fortunately no damage done, it didn't even splatter me, but would have been interesting if he'd aimed a few feet higher. So it's not racism, just idiotic mindless scum who don't care who they annoy. Difference is of-course, had I caught up with the little shit and given him a good hiding, guess who the police would have come down on? I suspect in Cyprus such "justice" would be viewed with greater understanding. Sooner we can get out there the better. Ultimately, scum are scum - they aren't choosy about their victims.

I would jut like to point out that on the preceding page, Bubbles is telling us at 12:45pm that she nearly got put off her cereal; and then at 12:56pm she was off to prepare lunch ...

Maybe "Bubbles" describes her shape ...

I, like you do have a few extra pounds. What should we do about it then O?

I know I was late in posting this morning, but I did have my cereal about 9am, and, even though I went off to prepare lunch early, it was not ready till 2pm. That, apart from a few pieces of 'snack fruit' is all I have eaten today, so I hope that is ok with you. Thanks for your concern about my welfare though!

Less concerned ...... more envious and eager to find excuses to over-consume too!

I've been dipping in and out of this forum for several months and been undecided whether or not to participate.

We love this Island.

We have a house here and are very frequent visitors and are made generally very welcome. We are English. We do not speak Greek, have no tatoos but quite like Keo beer.

We have however been subject to several instances of 'Racism' in Cyprus.
Driving out of a car park in Polis (in a zed car) a gang of youths spat through the open window onto my face. Next day in the same car driving into Polis a 'package' was thrown into the windscreen of the car by a youth.

There is a definite undercurrent of racism and resentment towards the English in Cyprus, which is reflected on this forum.

I do not pretend to understand the history and politics of this lovely island so do you really hate us?

Im afraid I have to dissagree with you. The Cypriots on the whole are very friendly to visitors and more so the English. Im afraid once again I will have to bring my personal experience on to the forum.
My wife is English , we have been together since 1963 .
My sister in law is also English and has been with my older brother since 1962.
Both look 100% English and both DO NOT SPEAK GREEK other than the most colloqualy used words. Both my wife and sister in law have spent considerable , protracted time in Cyprus either on their own or with either my self or my brother.
Not once has either of them brought to our attention an incident involving racism , in their younger days they perhaps attracted a leering look now and again but NEVER have they encountered any anti English sentiments.
My own daughter , half English , arrived in Cyprus some 15 years ago unable to speak Greek , she speaks fluently now , again she never once encountered anti British feelings.
I'm talking from my own experience and that of many of my friends in similar circumstances.
Cyprus is still one of the friendliest and most welcoming places on earth , both the G/Cs and the T/Cs are extremely hospitable people.
Its bad luck that you were in Polis when GR was there too !!!

i tend to disagree with you mitliades. my recnet trip to cyprus, i met ONE nice cypriot. all the rest of the nice people where all expats.
or if they were cypriot, they did most of thier growing up in the UK.
i think new yorkers are a hell of alot friendlier than any cypriot i met.
