It would be a worrying scenario if, in some peoples' eyes, these crossing points are intended to be permanent affairs, albeit without the dodgy "visa" pollocks.

Mind you, the EU wouldn't be too happy with any permanent check-points, gates, sentry-posts or barriers of any kind that would restrict in even the slightest degree the Free Movement of EU citizens.


That's my whole point.!

In the states, we too have "crossing points" between states where commercial vehicles will need to stop and show that they have a permit to operate in that particular state but private cars does not, although, everyone entering California, private or commercial vehicles need to go through a manned "check points" for agricultural inspection to prevent people bringing fruit from outer state that may have fruit flies that can be very damaging to the agricultural industry in California. Personal details are not checked at all. You may be asked if you are bringing any fruit with you, and you are on your way. Most states don't have any "check points" for private vehicles which means no stopping at all.

I'd like to see the old Nic to Larnaca road opened. All will know that it's cut off by that tissy village Lusigi ... er ... Loorigisia .... the village our Freddie comes from.

Yes, I thought that was your point.

I didn't know of these intra-state checks in the US.

Again all I can say is that European regulations will insist on the free movement of goods, services, people without any hindrance, so some wet- dreamers may be disappointed.

Get your facts right Billy boy, Lurucina is not on the Larnaka Lefkosa road, but 3 miles to the west. It's Mehmetcik at Piroyi that is blocking your road and ours.

I look forward to the day when the roads to Limya and Dali open up officially instead of this driving off the road stuff which both TC and GC police turn a blind eye to.

It's Lymbia reh.

Some years ago I heard stories of this off-road business and strange dealings. Are you confirming these rumours?

Why, what have you heard? There is nothing strange about them, its usual business activities plus maybe some dodgy materials too.
