"We don't have any trouble with the British residents; they are financially secure or elderly.”


Did he include the 5,000 Brits in possession of illegal property?


This was a quote from the police chief of Paphos. He was referring to the British residents of Paphos. No part of the district of Paphos falls within "occupied Cyprus". Therefore none of the British residents he is referring to - i.e. the British residents of Paphos could possibly be in possession of illegal property.

Mate, after you have finished your adult literacy course so that you can read a simple newspaper cutting in English - and I would recommend a simple arithmetic course, too, if you can't work out that 1956 predates 1960 - try taking a course in simple geography and map reading. To judge by your screen name, you are alleging to have some kind of connection with Paphos. Are you totally unaware that no part of Paphos district falls within the ocupied areas?


I happen to know two English couples who have properties both in Paphos and in the TRNC, splitting their time between the two.
Judging by the number of Brits we see driving RoC plated cars up here, I wouldn't be surprised if there were a whole lot more like them.


Interesting point. Then I would have to classify them as crooks, unless they have bought Turkish Cypriot title property.



If true, they sure are taking risks everytime they cross-over. Can this be substantiated? Perhaps they just rent - or is that the same thing? :?


I am a regular visitor to the north, too. That does not mean that I own property there. I do not know how widespread this phenomenon that VW refers to really is.


Considering how much they all moan (on both sides of the Green Line) about the problems with buying property here, I can't see many (if any) purchasing in both places! VW is probably just talking crap as usual!

I think it would be more day trippers than people owning two properties.I used to go myself up until last year when they changed the insurance,I think you have to buy three months at a time now instead of three days,

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.

Paphitis
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

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)
