It depends on whether they are tapped into the supply before or after your meter. If it is after, call the police because you will pay, if it is before and THEY don't have a meter installed, call the Electricity Authority as they are the ones being ripped off.

Baby, what CBBB has said above is what you need to do. Maybe take some pictures for proof and to show us.

Don't know, but how about this:

1 cup water
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
1 tablespoon currant jelly

1/8 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons water

Brown rabbit in remaining bacon fat. Remove from skillet, along with all but 2 tablespoons of the fat, and reserve.

Return rabbit and bacon to skillet. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer about 1 1/2 hours or until rabbit is tender.

3.Remove bay leaf and discard. Place rabbit on a warm platter and keep warm while preparing gravy.

4.To Make Gravy: Stir lemon juice into skillet with cooking liquid. Combine 3 tablespoons water with 2 tablespoons flour and mix together; stir mixture into skillet over low heat. Finally, stir in thyme. Pour gravy over stew and serve, or pour into a gravy boat and serve on the side.

I might try this out.

Oh, I didn't realise that you had posted the recipe on a different thread, I was thinking that I would be into something on the net.

I can see straightaway that this is not a recipe for 'Soup', can you not find the other recipe which was described as 'Rabbit Soup' ?.

I think it was quite an old recipe taken from a book published about 100 years ago (if that's any help).

It’s a custom in Cyprus to get power from your closest neighbor for a year or two while building until you get your own supply. Some people go and pay 100 odd pounds after they finish building to the supplier to show their appreciation and some don’t.

The thing to remember is that when YOUR house was being built, the trades people working on it must’ve been getting power from one of your other neighbors too, so it’s something that everyone has done to erect a house.

Finally, power tools don’t consume much power so relax.

What a load of 'Bullshit'; it's theft.

We had a generator for two years actually

What can I say… it doesn’t even sound like you’re in Cyprus!

Was this at an isolated lot, or did you build in one of them British Peyia-like communities or something?

The villa is in a very quiet village get real, not that it has anything to do with this thread!

My Title Deeds are costing me €25,000 plus Property Transfer Tax - but it is a long story. So, I attach a picture of my lawyer...

What on earth are you people in Paphos doing there??? My deeds are ready to be collected for just 150 odd euros and I haven't even bothered to go pick them up!

That's the problem of living in the 'Hollywood' of Cyprus - it is all so expensive. Ok, let me tell you where just some of the money goes:
Before the TD are issued, the Land Registry ask the Surveys' Department to check the property. Getting the Survey staff off their butts is next to impossible, so even Nostradamas cannot predict when they will ever get round to doing this. So, you hire someone to do all the work for them and produce a CD with the results.

Now to get the Survey staff to actually look at the CD and sign it off you have to pay them 'overtime' - to actually do the job they are paid to do. Then, to get your case from the bottom of the pile, you have to pay the guy/girl in Land Registry a... erm...bonus and so it goes on.
