How do you think you can be subjective from thousands of miles away? all you can do is google articles that give some kind of slant on the weight of that chip on your shoulder.
You dont recognize the "trnc"but want to include their crime figures with the ROC to suit your anti british stance
Face it : you cannot polish a turd.... and looking back over the majority of your posts your predominance is anti british racism...you just lump us all in together.
Tim asked you how long you had spent on Cypriot soil lately? but you didnt answer.
Who are the Anti Cypriot English in the ROC on this Forum you claim to see "bashing"cyprus or is bashing an australian word for debating?
And as for NAPA a lot of its problems lately have been Israeli youths damaging hotels and making themselves a pain letting their hair down over here before their NS at home.... thay come here because it wouldnt be allowed back home.....

IF you still dont know the Austalian song DILLIGAF i suggest you look up Kevin bloody Wilson

And yet you seem to ignore all the shit that has been posted by some Brits on this forum. Sorry, but you are all fair game because some of the posts about the RoC this and the RoC have been absolutely disgusting. If you choose to live in Cyprus then I would say a good deal of civility and respect is required as well as an appreciation to the sensitivities of the long suffering Cypriot people.

As for living half a world away, that has not precluded me from traveling to Cyprus on many occasions, and also from having very heavy financial interests and debts on the island. Cyprus is my country and it matters not where I live. And this Cypriot is very much in touch with what is happening and with daily life on the island and I also believe you haven't got the right to question my Cypriot connections going back some 10,000 years or more.

I am not anti British. I am just sick of all the crap, bitching and whining! If Cypriots behaved in such a manner in Britain, then no doubt many POMS would be pissed off as well. It is as simple as that. And I have every right to be a little upset at some peoples attitudes towards a long suffering, yet humble and innocent Cypriot people and our war torn island. You don't have to live in Cyprus to know that some 5,000 Brits in Cyprus appear to be insensitive to the plight of some 200,000 ethnically cleansed refugees by "purchasing" GC owned property in the occupied areas. To top it all off, we hear many absurd and frustrating anti Cyprus and anti Cypriot comments which even put the partitionist fascist Turks to shame.

Just make sure that your house is in order before you have a go at a tiny war torn island which is a mere speck on the map and has a population that is less than many towns in the UK.

As for how much time I spend on Cypriot soil, that is none of your business really. My longest stay was 5 months, my shortest was 3 days, and there have been numerous visits.

there are many brits selling up in the roc and buying property in the north, they cannot get thier deeds in the roc ,the problems with crooked builders , the cost of living , exchange rate etc etc and many like the slower pace of life in the north There is also a large number of day trippers who come for the usual copy hand bags ,and sun glasses , But most that come say the big thing they notice and like is there is no young brit yob culture . that does not mean the old gent at the bar is not a big mafia hit man (but that is the same all over the world)

Selling without their deeds? Technically possible, but very improbable in the current buyers' market. Are you sure you are not just making that one up?

Impostaliedus if what you are saying is true out of the frying pan into the fire comes to mind

Yes I do now but VW was saying about the number of cars with ROC no plates in the north I think they will be on the decline now though

how expensive the insurance over there is depends on how many trips you make in a year - then a yearly policy is good value.
As for declining numbers of ROC plates in the north i would beg to differ on decline - i see many more ROC plate crossing over these days in the Famagusta area - and not just the run of the mill auto's.
Since prices in the ROC got so silly and theres less money to be had more Greek speaking cypriots are to be seen in the food market on a friday or buying material at a supplier over there - and of course petrol is cheaper (no im not arguing on its quality) and the standard of dentistry is supposed to on a par too.

last saturday my friend paid 80 Euros for a year. (third party)

The particular people that I know own houses on both sides. I imagine they might be waiting for the deeds to come through on their RoC house which, at some future date, when the market improves, they might sell. It's none of my business but I will ask one of them what their intentions are in this regard.
I bought and sold my first house here without ever seeing the deeds.

I can tell you for a fact that selling property on both sides of the green line is quite often carried out without the deeds in the hands of the occupier. all it takes is for the builder to sign , as he is still the real owner , as most builders keep the deeds for many years, And as for the britts whining the old saying allways comes to mind ,,,,,,you allways know the plane at larnica has brits on board as you can allways hear the whining even after the engines have been shut off only a joke guys.

As I said, it is technically possible to sell without title deeds, but in practice under current market conditions, in which supply vastly exceeds demand and buyers are wary of purchasing properties which do not yet have title deeds, it would be very difficult for an owner who has yet to receive the title deeds to sell without taking a massive loss. This leads me to believe that you are being liberal with the truth, to put it mildly.

I know of two villas that have been sold in the last 2 months, by very unhappy brits who as you pointed out took a big big cut , although i was not told the exact amount i think it was a 40%cut ,,and one of the reasons for selling was the harasment by the builder and not getting the deeds ,with the wife blameing her ill health on the stress, they were hopeing that the uk goverments involvement in the issuing of deeds to expats was going to help with the problem but the roc say it has nothing to do with them ,

Two cases ... and you are generalising on that. I do not think there is any wide trend as you describe it.

There are no 'quality' Brits in occupied Cyprus.

Do avoid sweeping statements. You may find one or two people in the north who:

1. Have no choice over holding a British passport.

2. Have worked hard to make a difference by helping Cypriots.
