so going back to the thread what really is the point in emails etc going to these quango departments ,nothing will be gained . where money is concerned all things become equal and morals go out of the window

What's a 'wode' of euros? Is 'wode' a collective noun?

A 'wad' perhaps?

If that's the case, then pay no heed to this thread and be on your immoral way.

Err, because, according to you, morals go out the window when it comes to money?

you are the one who is being immoral in your pathetic effort to close a bank because you have a big problem with the turkish cypriot and any person living legally or other wise in the north

Now you've got it.

,,,you, the parrot has been jabbering to much me thinks

If the parrot is just jabbering, then there's nothing for you to be concerned about here.

Well, perhaps when you have not solved this one to your satisfaction, you could set yourself the task of solving the problem of getting Israel (just the first that sprang to mind) to comply with all the UN Resolutions they are not complying with.

Here's a bit of info on them:

What point are you trying to make exactly?

I happen to be Cypriot, so the Cyprus issue happens to be important to me.

[Gasman]

Having read some of your more recent responses to your thread here, I am left wondering exactly what point you are trying to make?

We all know that, despite the 'embargoes', companies are starting up and operating in the TRNC. I should have thought that, next to property development, tourism is one of the biggest earners there.

Are all those companies REALLY 'winging it' and risking expensive legal action being taken against them? Or do they know something you don't (or refuse to accept)?

I'd have thought it was only RoC that could make a good case for complaining - they are the ones who insisted on the embargoes - and they don't seem to be doing that do they? You've said yourself that they cannot even be bothered to respond to their 'concerned citizens' regarding the matter.

[Gasman]

In fact, it occurs to me that perhaps it is only if it were the case that an RoC company were to open up branches there. A company owned by an RoC citizen, that they would sit up and take notice - or, perhaps, even be able to do anything about it.

They passed that law some years ago didn't they - where it was made a criminal offence to be caught crossing over into the North with any pamphlets or documentation relating to purchasing property over there? I believe one person was prosecuted. Considering the number of people who are buying over there - wonder why more haven't been caught re that?

And I do wonder why it is not the agents selling these properties that they are going for but instead the buyers of them (in the same way they say they will go for the guests staying in hotels over there and not the travel agents who booked them in or the people running the hotel). Perhaps, again, it is because they know they can do very little about it?

i am glad there is some one talking sense here ,,international companies are sometimes bigger than the country they work in but they might also call themselves ford uk or hsbc uk or hsbc turkey so the fact that malapapa is going after some quango in the uk is pathetic.big business runs this world not goverments .as i said when it comes to money,.... as you said there is not much any one can do about hsbc or any other company in trnc THANKFULLY,, as embargoes only hurt the man in the street not the big company
