Your weakness is that you think that all TCs are the same
Your mistake is that you believe you know what I think.
And you are VERY wrong on that point. It is much easier to fathom the way someone 'thinks' when they cannot keep their temper under control and let their potty mouth run away with them and cannot keep a civil tongue.
Not a problem for me.
You have no idea what I 'think' about TCs, how many of them I know, live among, (or could be related to)
And if you actually read what I say - I doubt you will find me saying anything much at all about TCs. Whether they are TCs living in the RoC, the TRNC, North London, South Africa or wherever.
But then I don't say much at all on this forum. But I belong to ALL Cyp forums! North, South, East, West and all the property owner forums and message boards too. And, some years ago, I joined them for very good reason.
You might find a few words from me about lying crooked opportunist property developers, lying opportunist chancer Brit buyers of GC owned property, corrupt legal systems, and those who can only threaten violence instead of being able to debate sensibly.
I am interested to listen to TCs, Turk settlers and ex pat Brits in the North. I have spent roughly 6mos of every year since they opened the crossings over there (travelling back and fro - longest stay being about 3 nights) I had very good reason to do so. Still do have but now have most of the information I needed.
Some spout a lot of stuff without ever having been there to see for themselves what the situation is and how the 'ordinary people' feel about things.
I am quite amused by the reactions of some (mainly Brits) to all this recent Orams stuff - hoping Turkey will invade again! Are they nuts? I don't think so - more likely to be so unintelligent as to have thought the consequences of that for them through and speaking out of desperation.
There is a more 'human' aspect to all of this than a few ex pat Brits having bought cheapo properties they knew were risky.
I've heard over and over from some that they aren't too worried - they were already over retirement age when they bought years ago, they got a house and pool for circa 20K, they'd had their money's worth already and could not complain if they lost it all tomorrow, as decent holidays would have cost more over the years than their TRNC property did. Others have said they lost more when Sterling went down the crapper than they paid for their TRNC property. They are philosophical about it. They are not the sort of people who will be posting to message boards defending the TRNC or calling for Turkey to invade or for the crossings to be closed.
But they are also obviously not the sort of people who gave a flying fig about buying property or land that belonged to someone else and getting a bargain on the back of that person's misfortune. At least they aren't feigning innocence now or crying 'foul'.
