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?

Sorry AQ ... there are hardly any Cypriots in Polis ... mostly Brits!

Some have been here so long, they are quite tanned and speak Greek ... so you may have had an encounter with one of our native Brits .... there are a few drunk ones singing in the street at this very moment!

It's certainly not the sort of behaviour I would associate with Cypriots, so be truthful ....

(Are you very ugly by any chance )

Oracle don't be so rude. Don't worry AQ, I guess it's a GC thing.. They are racist to us as well only thing they are not racist to is there lovely kalamaras.

AQ, I find it very difficult to believe your story, such events in Cyprus are buried long in the distant past, the British (though possibly not quite as popular as they would like to be) are certainly not disliked to the extent you illustrate, TWICE in TWO DAYS ?, not on mate, sorry.

By the way, welcome to the forum and good luck with your postings (better luck than this one anyway )

His other thread is even more irresistible ....

[AQ]

The question is do Cypriots resent (hate) the English?

Or for that matter the Scots, Welsh and Irish?
