In an effort to offer some constructive advice to my fellow Charlies and Charloues otherwise known as Egglezokiprei , I have compiled a list of 10 dos and donts , ie the 10 Commandments applicable to us British Cypriots when in Cyprus interacting with our fellow Cypriots , either G/Cs or T/Cs .
1. Never say " we don't do it like this in England .
2. Never speak in half English and half Greek / Turkish .
3. Never wear ALL your gold when going out -especially Charloues .
4. Never say please , thank you and sorry more than once a day !!
5. Never flash your money , if have any that is.
6. Never enter into political discussions.
7. Never mince your words , spit them out loud and clear .
8. Never criticize the Cypriot way of life , it is after all the best in the world .
9. Never criticize the Cypriot driver , he/ she is after all the worst in the world.
10. Never refuse a pair of ameletita freshly off the charcoal. !!
Stick to the above and you will have many enjoyable days in the paradise island of Cyprus .
