Re: Traditional building versus modern

The thing you have to bear in mind is that the house must be of earthquake resistant design. I'm sure you will be able to get a house with thicker walls, and there are now a variety of choices re block, from breeze, terracotta air brick and a very easy to cut very true building block that has better...

Re: ripped off by ebookers HELP PLEASE

I think you missed the fact that, according to the invoice, you picked up the car at 22:04 not at the booked time of 21:00. The later time is outside their office hours, hence the 'after hours' charge. Obviously, they cannot account for that at the time of booking because you booked to collect withi...

Re: ripped off by ebookers HELP PLEASE

Nigel, Normally, when picking up the car they run through all the charges and ask you to sign for them. Ask them for a copy of the document that you signed when you picked the car up - they should have given you a copy of this but you may have disposed of it already. It is normal to be charged local...

Nige,

If you have a UK address you can use, contact UK Trading standards. Undisclosed additional charges are one of their favourites.

Re: is it time to strike back at trnc banks ?

HSBC don't do franchises... this load of nonsense has been doing the rounds for years. Banking is not like a fast food chain they have to have total confidence in the whole group. The TRNC operation is accessed through the HSBC's web site in the UK, do you imagine for one moment that would be the ca...

Re: Goby darts player gets dogs banned!

Nige, what would he have to alert the authorities about? If people who are not licensed to run a nursery are doing so, do you think that's a good thing? Really looking after young kids?

Re: is it time to strike back at trnc banks ?

If you do this and it causes more banks to take action to recoup funds by property seizures have you achieved a spectacular own goal. You have to weigh all the pros and cons.... Do what your conscience tells you is right, not what sounds like a good idea on paper but in practice is more harmful than...

Re: Goby darts player gets dogs banned!

Predation is mostly by wild dogs and some foxes at night, they can smell the eggs or hear the young and dig them up. Nige this is a known fact. It doesn't matter if the beach is a Turtle nesting site or not, dogs are not permitted on beaches.... As for the man, well when he first had his house next ...

Re: Please raise your glasses and toast

CVG, just a small glass... BTW if you want to type in Turkish and spell Rakı properly you can toggle between your Turkish Keyboard layout and UK layout by pressing ALT and left hand shift button. That's if you have both layouts set-up on your PC. If you don't have a Turkish keyboard, let me know and...
