Post Offices are still working and still allowing people to pay bills there, as of yesterday at least. Personally, I am praying for the day when Post Offices follow the Bank's example and stop allowing people to pay bills there. In normal times, our PO is rammed with people paying bills - these days...

... The real reason I made this post is that a private coach company was used to ferry the ex-pats from Brize Norton, where they landed, to a hospital in the Wirral, where they will be quarantined for 14 days. The name of the company was emblazoned across the front and sides of the coaches. That na...

Hello everybody! Long time no see! Now that a year has gone by since the last comments on this thread, I thought I'd resurrect it to ask if there are any new developments on the TV catchup scene. I have seen that My Private Network has merged with Le VPN since the last comment - does anyone have any...

Around about 2011 (I think), it became 6 months, and then it became 3 months with little notice - hence I lost my number and about 20 quid.

A serious question deserves a serious answer. But unfortunately we don't know the parameters of Brexit yet, so whatever preparations we make, we can't know for sure if they have been worth it. Sadly, it looks like the only real way of assessing the worth of those preparations will be in hindsight. R...

This is crazy. Yes, it is. As far as I can tell, from what I know of how things go, (someone will correct me if I'm wrong - and ignoring any speculation about Brexit outcomes/extensions/cancellations) your only hope would be to get a residency permit as soon as possible - ( Info at this link ), whi...

Did they say where the delay was? ... As far as I can tell there is only one machine and one person doing this ... Warwick It might be something to do with that poor chap/lady being snowed under by applications from Brits trying to change their license. ...Just maybe... I am now hoping for an exten...

I believe that the IDP issued by the RAC is not the correct version for Greece. There are two conventions as discussed earlier in the thread. The UK is a signatory to the convention under which IDPs are issued for Spain, for example, but will not be a signatory to the one suitable for Greece until ...

I have just had a search online Phil and only found conflicting information on the Ministry website, but it looks like the 185 days may be the latest info, I'm afraid. The English version is here http://www.yme.gr/index.php?getwhat=1&oid=537&id=&tid=537 ...and even the English version a...

I think you misunderstand what she was saying. In this case, she explicitly said that we couldn't get the license exchanged because we hadn't had the blue permit for 180 days - then she went on to say that we should have come to her before going to the police station to get the blue permit, then it...

Is the 95 days for the blue or beige residence permit? Either - our nice KEP lady said "You should have changed the driving license BEFORE you got the blue residence permit" Yes, I know, it makes no sense to me either - you'd think that if you have the blue permit, it stands to reason tha...

Many thanks for your advice - it looks like a trip to the License centre is the best policy - If we have any luck I will post a comment here, but it won't be 'til March sometime before the 95 days is up, so it won't be for a while.

Finally got around, this week, to applying to change my UK driving licence for a Greek one. Yes, I should have done it about 20 or 30 years earlier, but hey ho, and now Brexit calls... Congratulations! We are trying to do the same... ...but 2) Photocopy of residence certificate. (I believe it shoul...

Hi Ilona,

It would probably help to know which area you are looking for work in Crete - it's a big island!
