The standard of carpetbaggers in occupied Cyprus is just getting better and better....how about they start renaming the streets to

swindled-client-funds Road
killed-someone-in-UK Street
robbed-a-train Avenue

you could also apply such street names to this side as well - i would change the last one to robbed - a - kiosk though....

It may come as a surprise to some people, but there are hospitals in both parts of Nicosia.

Then why do the keep coming to RoC controlled hospitals?

Perhaps it is their right to do so. I am still a citizen of the Cyprus Republic, if I choose to do so, I would avail myself of the services of the aforementioned hospital. Its simple.

The question you ought to ask is whether 'partitionists' use these services; then my reply would be different from the one I gave.

Even Denktash and Eroglu are RoC citizens or have immediate family who are RoC citizens. There was a news report naming high profile partitionists who were also RoC citizens. I don't have a link, but it was mentioned here a while ago.

I would say that there are many partitionists who use RoC health services. Don't you agree?

Yes, I do agree; they are a bunch of hypocrites. I do not need to elaborate, but I have no respect for such people.

What conditions must a TC person satisfy in order to be considered a citizen of RoC and apply for a passport?

Not laughing really - you could add another for this side:

'robbed EVERYTHING out of Gasman's car' - CDs, tent, sleeping bags, jump leads, raincoat, maps, ciggies, sunnies, beach mats/towels, even the bleedin' car shampoo!

Treachery is not one of them that's for sure!

I remember persuading hubby some 20 years ago that it was perfectly safe to leave all our stuff, camera, personals, shopping etc unguarded in the back of an open top jeep, covered only by a beach towel (to keep the sun off) in various places around Cyprus including cities like Paphos. After this happened a few times without a single loss, he relaxed and we continued the practice every year we returned for holidays and long stays. I would still do this in my village and even Polis/Latchi, but I may think twice about doing this in any of the cities now. And it's not because I do not trust GCs any more. It's definitely a problem which comes from outside.

It is true that a lot of 'reported' criminals seem to be 'foreigners' in Cyprus.

But, if you read and listen to the news, you will see that Greek Cypriots too are involved in crimes including robbery, drug dealing and (shock horror) even murder!

I know of and have lived in villages in the West Country in the UK where I never locked my car or my back door. But I would not be so careless in an inner city.

I know a tiny village in Scotland where my inlaws live where crime is almost unheard of (well, not if you don't count some biddy forgetting to 'do the flowers' for the Church).

But it's a completely different kettle of fish in Glasgow, Edinburgh and other bigger cities.

Cyprus was never the same when British Mass Migration began to occur in the eighties. Coincidentally, crime and petty theft seemed to increase from this period.

A further crime spree occurred when the British Sterling lost its value, resulting in many cash strapped Brits finding their costs for living in Cyprus escalate. Surely this can't be a coincidence!

you mention the word coincidence? but all your statments are suppositon.. you always ask for the relevant deatails of facts from other peoples statements - from thousands of miles away where are yours?
Funnily enough the incidcence of British people having their property broken into is rising steeply
The people here are concerned about the rising crime and the influx from outside of Cyprus - lots of cheap labour here have lost their jobs now and the increase people speak of is over the last few years ,around four at a guess...
Seem to be a lot of people walking around Cyprus with extavagant amounts of cash and jewellrey about their person these days and being robbed.
Nicosia prison is full - but not many brits there....

It's a fair cop, guv. I'll come quietly.
