So it's Paphos which is in Cyprus whose capital is spelt as Nicosia and not flipping bleeding well spelt Lefkosia in English.... oh and it's Larnaca and not Larnaka and it's Definitely Absolutely and with No Shadow of Doubt Kyrenia ( and not frigging Girne ).

Now can some kind soul tell us why we spell Ayios with a g as Agios ???


(oh and where's Mumbai?)

Bill I just spat my coffee all over the screen, thanks for the giggle :lol: :lol:
