The cypriots know every trick in the book to extract money from you,they a brought up from an early age to never lend money always borrow and never pay back what you owe and thats a fact.
The happy tourist place it use to be has gone, its all about takin money now.Inotice now that its not the smiling genuine cyprus smile that invites us into ther bars but how much do you have in your pocket to line mine


As they say "if you don't like it go back to Utopia in the UK"

I was talking to my accountant about that this morning. No way round it apparently if you are a Pushtoenglezos!


Not quite Tim

You send the Kypraia Yinaika in first to check the price and then again to pay the bill :wink:

Actually this tax has never affected moi

Pushtoenglezos tax.


I've been here seven years and I've never felt that I've been 'ripped off'....

Well, apart from that night out with CBBB and his mates... :evil:


That's because you live in the british protectorate of piss-ouri. :lol:

There is a lot of variation in prices - if you have time to trawl Cyprus checking them out.

For instance - Glass of Orange, 6 months ago, in Fish Tavern, Makenzy = 7 euros.

Glass of orange in Limassol Old Town, today = 5 euro.

Glass of orange in seafront restaurant nr Ag Tychonas, this evening = 1.70 euro.

Cypriot pal of mine told me yesterday that since GCs stopped picking their own fruit and paying immigrants to do it, they have to charge more for their oranges lol!
