Wishful thinking!

Fact: in Cyprus most devices imported have 2 pin plugs.
Fact: Normally you can't plug such a device directly on the wall without using an adapter or changing the plug..
Fact: most of Europe uses 2 pin plugs.

The more universal a standard is the more useful it is. Following a standard that is followed by just a handful of countries is definitively a disadvantage for Cyprus. It would have been better if we had the European standard from the beginning ... but I do not think there is any reason why we can't gradually change.

That's because your too bloody thick to understand anything anyone has told you!! Add to that your complete ignorance about anything electrical, and your above facts then add up to nought!!! The ONLY disadvantages in Cyprus, is a government that don't give a rat's arse about yours or anyone else's safety, and importers that buy grey goods, to the detriment and cost of it's customers...

None of this will mean anything to you mind, ...you'll just keep going over and over the same old crap, convincing yourself that Your right, and everyone else is wrong!!

Who is "everyone else"? ... you and some other old British immigrants who can't accept that their own system haven't really caught on? All facts I posted are precise. There is obviously a problem here. According to you the solution is for the government to force everybody to use some uneconomical system which we inherited from the times of British colonial rule. I say that Cyprus should move forward with the rest of Europe and do what is for the interests of Cypriots, both importers and consumers.

Wrong again!!!! The system currently used in the UK wasn't in use in 1960, so Cyprus must have adopted it after that, of it's own free will!

British plugs are here to stay. Get over it!

BS 1363 is a British Standard which specifies the most common type of domestic AC power plugs and sockets that are used in the United Kingdom, Cyprus, Hong Kong, Ireland, Malta, Malaysia, Singapore, and many former British colonies. Of these, Ireland, Malaysia and Singapore have equivalent standards—IS 401 & 411, MS 589, and SS 145, respectively. The standard was introduced in 1947, shortly after the Second World War, as part of a new standard for electrical wiring in the United Kingdom.

Shit, I must be older than I thought!

[Sotos]

Hopefully not older than "larnacaman" ... he is 90 years old .. diagnosed brain dead... his "intelligence" is AI written on a floppy in 1986 running on DOS operating system

[larnacaman]

I may or may not be older than you, but i have all my faculties about me, I can listen to others and can assimilate, when being told something i don't know, by another that does, I'm reluctant to argue strongly about anything i don't have (or limited) knowledge on. Man enough, to freely admit when or if i'm wrong,... I'm certainly not any bodies fool, ...either personally or professionally, ...now of that, i can assure you!!

You on the other hand, can claim none of these attributes, your basically just another ill informed Cypriot with a chip on his shoulder, that has this notion that if i shout loud enough and for long enough someone will listen to the crap i spurt out!!!

Now if your intelligence can be hand written on one side of a fag packet, then by your own reckoning, I'm a dammed sight smarter than you!!!!

What a sad fellow you are, ....and an absolute fruitcake to boot!!,

[Sotos]

larnacaman, I need somebody to change tiles in a bathroom ... I was thinking to hire some asylum seeker but you have convinced me that you might be the man for the job. You can also change some plugs and wipe my floors while here As far as what the policies of our government should be that is our problem and not a job for a redneck immigrant like yourself
