:shock: That’s it then!

Henceforth, let Paphians be known as the prostitutes of Cyprus…

One quick look at the “Meet new people” section verifies that most perverts in Cyprus come from Paphos, and if that’s not enough they also prostitute plots of Cypriot land to the Brits!

Nice one Deniz... :)

What is your profession (scientist?) if you don't mind me asking? You don't have to answer if you don't want to?
