Morphitisses girls from Morphou are in demand so many replies here! No one wants Lefkosiatisses ?

Nah ... they're too stuck up and too expensive to maintain... stick to Fords and we prefer down to earth girls from the villages.

I dont blame you as they (lefkosiatisses) think they are a rare chinese silk

Quite right M,.... now where has the new member from Morphou gone??

Aftokiniton Ford & Gynekan pout thn mourphou...

Thats an old saying It means "never buy a ford car and never marry a woman from Morfou" Well ... maybe the saying is not that old ... when were Ford cars first imported to Cyprus?

My uncle, now deceased told us a story about the first car in Cyprus.
He was born in 1908. He recals when his father (my grandfather) took him up to the main road(Larnaca - Limasol). The asphalt roads then were called 'iron road' for some reason. Perhaps they shined like metal in the sun. Somehow people were made aware of the fact that an 'aftokinito' the first one was to travel from Larnaca to Limasol. They waited at the post station for two hours and saw their first ever car. He was still in his fathers arm, so I reckon he was about three or four years old. He remembers that everyone was very excited. The driver saw the gathered crowd, sounded its horn and chuffed along the road towards Limassol without stopping. Was 1912 the first time a car was driven in Cyprus? Any other witness accounts?

I was told it was crashed after a few days by his wife....
One car and she managed to crash it....

Goes to say "WOMEN DRIVERS"

At a guess, the term "iron road" may be based on the GB English phrase of "metalled road", which appears on such as OS maps to indicate a road with a solid surface of asphalt, cobblestones, setts or concrete as opposed to a homothromo/dirt track.

Correct. My grandmother always called the main road,'demur yolu'/the road made of iron. Odd, in it. One wonders what the RR was called, had she ever seen it.
