Are you seriously comparing Gatwick airport & The Conrad London Hotel with a bar in Pissouri?

Quite frankly it's like living on the set of Eastenders in the ex pat community now.
"Yes I'll clean your bungalows windows; that'll be €30".
"Yes I'll build you a tatty wobbly fence; that'll be €1365.
"Yes I'll do two hours of weeding; that'l be €140.
"Actualy I was a binman in the UK now I'm a pool maintenance engineer; I bought all thes chemicals and a leaflet from Shipshape".
etc, etc, etc.


Well seeing as you say yes you have been ripped off one would have to question your intelligence in paying it.
Most people with at least half a brain cell would tell them where to go.


:lol: Who is fool now hey Feisty? What an idiot our friend above is!

Well being as the guy who labelled people as scum has admitted that he was lying and that none of the things actually happened to him I reckon he is in need of being treated as some daft fool yes.

You are absolutely right , starting of course with Gatwick airport filled with , just as Heathrow is, overpriced shops prying on the impulse buyer , offering goods way above high street prices , exchange con shops , a burger and chops for £9.99 , and Pissouri , relaxed atmosphere , sunshine , swimming in clear blue seas having a great time .No comparison mate , as a matter of fact the Chelsea Harbour Hotel , now called The Windham , happens to be one of my favourite UK hotels , only because it overlooks Chelsea harbour with all the boats that so remind me of Cyprus.

I will only drink Keo that thieves bar in Pissouri, nothing else.

Good point though. Relaxing atmosphere+guard down=rip off prices!

£28 for 4 small beers in The Ritz, but male guests do get free hire of a (mandatory) tie if they come without one!
