[Get Real!]

Get real! Apologies for my spelling mistakes!! Typing errors!!!!!!
You sound like a nice person, not! the term peasants isnt nice at all Meneou doesnt have a flight path directly above it so we dont hear them. Thankfully im only renting and my previous posts now confirm how rude you can be here!

Sometimes, there’s a fine line between rudeness and honesty…

As for kids education, you can only try and give them the very best start. p.s whats wrong with Prince Andrew? Hes my neighbour

He comes across as a manufactured idiot.

Get real.... well hes not a friend of mine so who cares if hes manufactured or not!

Being so opinionated do you have an opinion on private cyrus schools?

They all vary… but moving to a civilized place like Nicosia certainly helps.

Anyway, I’ve got to shoot off and I’m already behind schedule.

Catch you later…

I think that in Cyprus you pay for a British education, not a 'private' one as you would get in the UK, but it costs much less.

And in Britain people are now paying for a French-style education ...

(Anticipating circularity .... the French pay for a Greek-style education ... )

Holistic Hellenic harmony ...

Hi, We are living in Meneou next to Pervolia. Indeed very beautiful. I think you are missing the point. If it were just me and my partner we would stay.

What’s so beautiful about Meneou, or any of the other peasant villages in that region next to the airport?

My kids come first and in my opinion going back to their private school in windsor is the best thing i can do for them.

Why is that? Do you want them to act and sound like that wimp Prince Andrew?

Maybe i was expecting too much from Cyprus. I have been coming here everyyear for 25 years. Cyprus was Paradise then but i see things here slipping. I am maybe too much of a perfectionist and want the best in everything , especially manners.

I guess you can say you’re demanding but perfectionists don’t ignore that many spelling mistakes like you have in your posts…

Anyway, I think your problem is that you’ve gone and moved in with the peasants of Larnaca and are wondering what went wrong...

My roots are from the Larnaca district. Nothing wrong there at all.
Menevi/Menoui was a paradise before you built that damn Airport on illegally occupied TC land. It was like the Garden of Eden. What have you done to it GR?

Anglisides is another yitonia so don't worry... The last time I drove through Meneou, it was mostly flat and treeless!

Hmmm I grew up and spent most of my life in Cyprus before leaving to study. I have lived in a total of 7 countries so far and am now in London.

While I agree salespeople can be rude and just not very cheerful in Cyprus, I do not agree that it is anything but the same in the UK. You seem to live in excluded isolation in Windsor. Windsor is a tiny tourist-centered place, it's nice and peaceful but it is definetely not an example of the majority of the UK where I can assure you, cashiers are rude and a significant proportion of the kids are dangerous thugs. I am constantly reading about kids killing each other on the streets of London and its suburbs. Safe? I think not. If you live in Windsor, don't doubt for a second your kids are going to want to spend quite a lot of time in London.

If you are upset about the school, have you given some consideration as to perhaps it is not Cyprus but the particular school you chose that is not up to standard? There are many other private schools in Cyprus. Foley's in Limassol is particularly respected for its strict academic standards and discipline. It is British owned and run, if that makes it better for you.

Out of all the countries i've lived, I have no doubt in my mind that I will return to Cyprus one day and am very grateful for having been raised there. Cherish those memories, it was a wonderful time. I studied in a prestigious university after graduation and am doing very well professionally, as are many people who graduated from high school alongside me, most of whom have returned of their own free will (from the UK i might add).

Cyprus has many negative points don't get me wrong, but to move back because of a particular private school and the lack of fake smiles on cashiers faces, is quite petty.

I know it is flat and treeless. I saw it last year. Why was the place left to 'dry' out. No GC peasants to look after and farm the land?

Must be a cultural thing. Looking at google earth, I could see that none of the almond trees near the village were left. The fig trees, planted by my late father made way to a 'football pitch' within the village. Who care?s; its only Turkish Cypriot property.

I agree wholeheartedly !
Foley's in Limassol is indeed a very good school , my two children studied there for two years .
When I'm in Cyprus I consciously do as the Cypriots do , I never use the words that you often hear from " Charlies " Ah but in the UK we don't blah blah blah !
As for getting a smile from cashiers in Cyprus well if they are female and pretty , I always do , I just say give us a smile then , in Greek of course !!!
The best European nation to live in , would not change it for anything , alas I still live in the UK !!
