Yummy yummy good old fashioned fresh Koullori on a Sunday morning. I bet Orphanides don't open on a Sunday morning..

As for the Yorkshire Tea I was not trying to be rude, all I was trying to say was the Greek Cypriots, well they aren’t really fond of us brits, they would rather sell more Russian/Polish products, only because there the new money bags over there, I was just asking in general if any other country sell Yorkshire tea..


Don't forget that there are now 60,000 permanent British residents in the government-controlled part of Cyprus.

Hmm…that’s a lot of tea and biscuits being consumed. I wonder if a “Tea & biccy” shop importing the whole range from the UK would be a good business venture in Paphos… :lol:

It is already being done. If you can get your hands on a free monthly mag called "Grapevine", the small ads in it make a fascinating read. There are any number of small businesses there catering for British expats' every whim and fancy - even a chap building high-quality hand-painted Dinky toy style models of the traditional Cyprus Bedford village bus!

Perhaps some expat Cypriots old enough to remember these traditional village buses would be interested in these models:

If you want to set up a business for the Pafos Pats and make money include bread pudding and lemon curd and spotted dick _homemade of course!
the bread pudding contains sultanas but benefits from some cut peel.
Lemon Curd on toast in the morning - no shortage of lemons here. :)
Of course us 'poor'relatives in the east would enjoy it too..
Leaving the forum now before the spotted Dick jokes start :roll:
