Paphos airport , What a ripp off !

Postby miltiades » Mon Nov 30, 2009 12:21 am

Cappuccino coffee 3.50 euros , Gatwick airport £2 = 2.20 Euros.
Espresso Coffee 2.95 euros Gatwick airport £1.30 = 1.43 euros.
Cup of tea 2.85 euros Gatwick airport £1.60 = 1.76 euros.

The difference isn't just a few pence its a massive amount.
Its time that the authorities took some action to stop these con merchants ripping people off.
On my way back I bought from Paphos duty.....free , pull the other one its got bells !! for two of my girls at work a perfume each costing 50.60 euros each.
On the BA plane same perfume £30 ie 33 euros.
The damage that these greedy bastards are doing to our tourist industry is massive and the repercussions will be huge in the future.
I say , stop these daylight bloody robbers. Can you believe a tea bag a bit of water and a little milk at over £2.50 !!!

wouldnt be so bad if you got a smile when you have to part with so much.
will never forget the time my partner was over charged for a cold coffee, and it tasted like crap, so he took it back and said thanks, didnt moan just took it back instead of putting it on the floor! only to have a table full of security look at him and call him a wanker, in greek of course.
good job my partner told me that when we were on the plane and not before...they would have known what its like to have cold crap expensive coffee up their bloody arses. :shock:

That's cheap! I paid 4.20 at a cafe in Ledras street this month!

For some funny reason a cup of coffee has become like caviar in Cyprus… :?

Ah well, no more coffee at cafes for us as you can get a whole meal for another euro or two! :lol:
