Oh come on Get Real, we're not that bad....
And as Snake_and_the_crane say's we care a lot about our homeland and have campaigned often against the occupation...and yes we do have our funny little accents but we try, often going to Greek School every Saturday (whilst our friends went dancing or to brownies) to learn our language to be able to communicate with our relatives in Cyprus and hold onto our culture as much possible but at the same time attempting to integrate with our fellow Brits successfully...Phew!! So it can be pretty tough to be a 'chaloua' sometimes, I tell you...
See what I mean about their accents? What the hell is a "Chaloua" ???
I'm surprised you don't now what it is actually (Unless your just being sarcastic and it's gone right over my head.. ).
It's the name us Cypriot Brits have been given by people in Cyprus...something to do with prince Charles I believe...
Female version, 'Chaloua', male version, 'Charlis'....
(Little lesson for you there... )
