I've been here 6½ years now... in that time I've met several expats who have decided that Cyprus isn't for them...
I didn't have a problem with that - when we came out we didn't know if Cyprus would be for us either, moving abroad is a significant step. We decided that even if we hated it we would stay a year and at least be able to say we had a 12 month holiday!
However, those that have gone back have,
without exception, done the big 'down' on Cyprus...
Too expensive
Schools no good
Can't flush toilet paper
Checkout girls surly
Tea bags too expensive
Tesco do 2 for 1 deals
Can't drive
Etc.
I don't know why they just can't say 'I tried it but prefer the UK'? They are basically demonstrating their woefully inadequate research with each and every sentence...
And you now claim that your concern is for others but it was you that started the thread "Cyprus isn't that brilliant" (I added the apostrophe for you) with the original post...

People are rude, supermarket cashiers look act as if they are doing you a favour by serving you...blimey... we are coming back to lovely windsor in august and the boys will be going back to the private school that i took for granted! i will never slag off the uk again... life doesnt resolve around the sea and sun.
(I didn't add the capitalisation and punctuation that was missing back into that lot)
I think you are making yourself look more and more stupid with each post...
