Ripping us off

Postby stevens » Thu Mar 04, 2010 4:01 pm

Ive been Here for ten years and understand the meaning of being ripped off
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

WTF are you on about? You have obviously just come out of a pub slightly the worse for wear and are pissed off that your bill was so high! You shouldn't have drunk so much!

Re koumbare if you have no money it is time to move on. Maybe Haiti is more suitable for your budget.

I agree tourist areas are expensive and there can be a "cypriot" price , but this is a bit of a sweeping generalisation.

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

I hope you realise I was just kidding.

But I guess if anyone is to know, it would be your accountant. :lol:
