Ermmm... your "country"? LOL, you mean the UK or the one you hastily abandoned about 50 years ago and doesn't now want you back because you are not Greek enough? Laughing
You are a waste of time old man. ""
I don't know why I bother with you , perhaps is in my nature to correct assumptions wrongly attributed to my self.
First of all , I , along with thousands of my compatriots emigrated either to the UK or to other parts of the world not in a hastily fashion but in a very orderly and premeditated way , to search for a better standard of living .
My children and my family are my affair and are not on the forum to air their views so kindly leave my family out.
Secondly , I visit Cyprus as often as my circumstances permit and usually I mane about 8 trips a year for mostly long weekends.
In the RoC I have the absolute right to air my views , insult Greece or any other nation without the fear of retribution from the authorities. When asked if I'm from Cyprus my reply is always the same Yes I'm , if pressed to reveal whether a G/C or a T/C I mostly reply " a Cypriot Greek "
My country is Cyprus , I do not see either a Greek or a Turkish Cyprus , realities do tell me that the long history of Cyprus has had much influence from Greece rather than Turkey and that the majority of the Cypriot people are Greek Cypriots . I do not recognise majorities or minorities and I consider all Cypriots to be equal in every sense , just as the Brits in the UK are all equal under the law of the land.
Further more I do not see my self as a minority in the UK having embraced the nation as my own. You ought to try the same approach to Cyprus but there again once a foreigner always a foreigner .
Thank God there are only a few fools like you around.
By the way, you atrted the "foreigner" crap and you are the one who started talking about your family, what I want to know is how you can be so stupid as to call Papidis, and a lot of others,"foreigner" just because he was born outside of Cyprus when your own kids were born outside of Cyprus and also have a foreign mother.
