Yes .... you are made to feel guilty if you haven't bothered to spend a few "minutes" filling in the forms to get one in Cyprus ... whereas no one gives a damn if you haven't got a "Nectar" card in the UK ....

107 When a No U Turn sign seems to mean 'I must do a U turn'
108 When young men on superbikes do 'wheelies' all the way up the coast road in Limassol
109 Without crash helmets of course
110 When a 1100cc car has an exhaust as big as the channel tunnel and makes more noise than a tank
111 When people in wheelchairs travel on the roads because the pavements are full of cars
112 When beer is still relatively cheap and tastes good
113 When you are warm and sunny at the coast but there is snow in Troodos
114 When an elderly Cypriot gentleman invites you to his house for coffee and conversation
115 When traffic control in the mountains consists of an old woman in black, a donkey and a red flag
116 When you have to stop your car to look at the beauty of the coastline, mountains, villages etc
117 When you have to stop your car because the road has disappeared!!
