Because
it has been changed already
to PAFOS
And the guy at Strumbi Garage
owes me €20

I know the father , Savas but do not know his son who now runs the garage , tell me about it and I will make sure he pays up :twisted:


I put €20 in his machine
and it wouldnt give me petrol
So I walked home
Next day he said that there
were no €20 in his machine
and he wouldnt pay
disgusting

The reputation of Stroumbi the Great is of the utmost importance to me !!
I hereby publicly declare that I shall make up your loss on my next visit to Cyprus , I can not stand by and see the good name of Stroumbi The Great tarnished over such an amount of money :lol: :lol:

LONG MAY STROUMBI THE GREAT CONTINUE TO BE THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE :lol:
