Change your name to spellcheck will you

Mate, you'd better learn to spell yourself if you don't want to end up like this bloke next time you fancy a pint up north...

The picture won't open?

bugger...

here it is..

The GCs are unified in boycotting the TRNC as they see it as a way of forcing us to capitulate to their demands. The details I have heard from local TC businessmen about the hurdles placed in their way when they try to do business with GCs and the fear GCs show about being persucted by the "RoC" adminsitration if they are caught doing business with the north.

Of course they're unified to get every Turk off their property. Stop your nonsense to prove your pathetic beliefs. Your pathetic political beliefs run on an expiration date, and all you can do is scaremonger. You have a better chance to sell an African a tanning bed, than to sell to the world that Turks belong in Cyprus.

The GC donkey will never become a race horse.

Thats what I'm talking about. Look at how you veer off reality to try and get a GC to your pathetic level. Just get a job and you wouldn't have to depend on Turkeys handouts. Just be nice to GC's because thats who'll you'll be asking for a job when its time.

TC potatoes are big hit with Greek buyers because they are better. Like Mikkie says, the market has ways to reward and punish, no need for politics there.

Wish we could eat those "big hit" potatoes also..
I have to buy my Cyprus potatoes from the south because the Turkish potatoes sold in the north are good for nothing.

Ridiculous really! Its all mainly to do with supply and demand. If stuff in the north is a load of rubbish then, perhaps, that is the reason why many tc's shop in the south. Nikitas has hit the nail on the head anyway - there is trade going on between the communities and its obvious that some people from both sides don't like it and will do what they can to disrupt trade.

It's about price. The larger and more affluent population in the south means that there are sufficient economies of scale to support large supermarket chains like Orphanides which offer a more attractive range of goods at competitive prices in comparison to what is available in the north.

Tim, don't forget the effect the isolation has on prices.
I gave an example of importing a car to Cyprus.
Price:
GC side 500 pounds
TC side 2000 pounds
Form an English carrier.
It is legalised criminality which ever way you look at it.

hey fred
are those shipping prices you quoted?

Tim perhaps you should try the Famagusta Market on a Friday? good selection of fruit and fresh veg and those spuds! things approx half price of what you pay in the south.
And quite a few GCs i see heading that way.
Dont rate orphos as our local one is usually the most expensive of the supermarkets!
Also material for dressmaking curtains etc miles cheaper than what you pay in the south..
Not suprised Nic is more expensive - not a place im endeared to..
