which part of the island. I have a pet (wild) black snake behind the house in the field which gets fed milk every morning. Keeps all rodents away. But know of a good Pest control for cockroaches depending where you are. Read More

I am sure it is as usual the Western side of this island which I consider to be a "foreign land" full of their own rules and laws. My face seems to have done the trick at the local CAB. Long live the Eastern side of this Isle. Read More

Driving licence by pete21

I rushed to change my UK licence for a ROC one prior to BREXIT as I had read that it was mandatory, but talking to other Brit °µÍø½ûÇøs I seem to be in the minority! It is a pain having the ROC licence when in the UK because the took away my ...

charles533

I totally agree with Toon. Where and how people get information sometimes beggars disbelief. Live in a country-- get their Licence. Use your UK driving licence in Cyprus at your peril and if you think there are no cops on the road think again. They ... Read More

Yellow Slip by Dee56

Does anyone know if the yellow Slip has to be exchanged for a plastic card next year? I have tried contacting the immigration office but after several attempts I still haven't got a reply! Thanks for any info

charles533

It is good to have the Biometric card. I need to travel to Europe frequently and showing the card means you get of all the "red tape" concerning Brits. So no ETIAS or other. Other than the fact of having to carry around the A4 paper it is a plastic ... Read More
