WERE yours... I just had those confiscated!

You'll be lucky. Pres. Makarios 'confiscated part of it already'. They built the first motorway through it. Now its called the old road. A newer motorway was built further north. The Cyprus gov was going to pay me compensation in 1974. My uncle was on his way to the Gov Offices in Nicosia when the anti Makarios coup took place, so he had made a hasty retreat to safety. Its very expensive land and people are queing up to buy it. :lol:

I too have visited many many times (off there again tomorrow morning) and I am sure you are right.

It is the ex pat Brits worried about their new homes over there who get their knickers in a twist about GCs in the TRNC!

You must have passed through Pano Anglisidhes. Turn southwards at the junction and you reach Kato Anglissidhes. That was the mixed one. Pano was completely Greek speaking.

Oh. I did not know that there was a Pano and Kato.

Tim, I watched a few of the episodes around the Biz/emeis series. The one you mentioned begins, when they go to the school for the interview it stops. There is a black screen and I waited as you said. I waited ...and waited and....waite.......

Can you please test it where you are and re post that link (I suspect GR has censored it ).

The other ones are also good and many thanks.

Sorry to hear that. It may be a technical hitch at the CyBC site. There is mention of a TC who was the mukhtar in one of the interviews - your father maybe?

I have this habit of going into village coffee shops and chating to the old folks. Once in Anglisides, I was told the richest man of the area was a TC who had the most land and vineyards. In the old days when the winery trucks used to go round collecting grapes, this guys grapes totaled twice of the whole of the rest of the village.

No. My grandfasther was the moukhtar till 1961/2. Then it was a gentleman local bus driver Husnu Dayi.

He is Mr Tosun. His son married my auntie. They had an ambar full of gigantic 'pithoi' küp/ enourmous earthernware storager vessels. About 12 I think. We only had 8. He had nine sons all emigrated to the UK in the 1940's/50's. No daughters. That was when there was no money around the place.
