I have lived in the uk for many years kafenes and have never been stolen from, never seen any corruptive activity (maybe on the news)
Ive walked into a car showroom and ive bought a car and the deal was fair and square. infact. you see in the uk we have what is called trading standards, these standards are high and by most if they are not fair and stick to the rules, they are in trouble.
After spending a whole year preparing for my big move to cyprus, the first day there a cypriot friend of whome i had known for a very time took me to the bank to vhange up money, was told what the exchange rate was at that time by the lady in the bank, only to discover later that it was incorrect and the cy friend had took shit loads of my money.
hat was a solicitor going to do..the same! the lady in the bank just shrugged her shoulders!
The same day I went to purchase my car to get me to work each day, only to have the same problem..i was told it was 2 years old, when i collected the car the logg book was not ready, okay that was fine i thought, these guys were nice, gave alot of hospitality, nescafe on tap and seemed very pleasant people indeed. it wasnt intill a few months later when i wanted to sell the car an english guy toldme it was not 2 yesrs old it was 7!! i had paid £4000cyp over for the car!! bastards.
I went to a solicitor who was the chief of police's daughter..funny how they are all related to the police!! more like they want you to think they will be good and no one will mess with them if they are related to the rozzers! anyway she wrote to the car place and they didnt respond, after one letter she charged me nearly 1000 Euros..WTF, if i didnt pay her father chief of police would put me jail.
at this pint i knew i had to be very careful with everything i had as i knew the cyps would robb me dry.
the stories go on and on and court cases on going.
I know the uk is expensive and the crime rate is higher in the uk, but in many many ways its a sfer place to be.
I think many cyps dont see a great deal of many and would do anything to get their hands on yours.
I have met many cyps who im fond of and have been geniune, but most ive met have been dirty, robbing shits.
never trust.
