Much better arrangement this morning. The road work signs are displayed much further back than before and there are a lot more of them.The normal highway speed signs have been covered over. There are now three men with flags, ushering vehicles through. There are orange bollards fixed to road from th...

I went in and out of Hania this morning. Going in wasn’t too bad (about 10am) One lone policeman and his whistle, overriding the lights and letting a lot of cars through at one time. Last time I went, there were two policemen, one at each end of the lights. Coming back, longs queues,but only about a...

Even so, such a sheer drop will require some advanced engineering work to shore up.. It can’t be just a ‘band-aid’ job. I too had heard that they were going to ‘take’ a bit of land on the inland side (near to where there is a lay-by type parking bit) to widen the road here. Well no doubt we will see...

Thanks for the info.

Also, in Kalives. The Kalives medical practice. From Almyrida turn left at the laundry junction towards the highway. On the left diagonally opposite the EKO petrol station. Drs Manos and Yianis, speak excellent English, will do call out visits and have a host of doctors in their network for specific...

Wow thanks Warwick! I shall read all that again when I am feeling less tired and a bit brighter!

My problem with the whole farce is that the 2016 referendum is it is not what we have got now, nor what was voted for. I don’t even think a referendum has to follow electorate procedure/law. It is not a case of ‘we won, you lost, get over it’ that is a very churlish view, nobody, certainly not Briti...

@Scooby, no I haven’t met Mr W. Although he has emailed with lots of help re fruit growing and info about beds from his friends. I enjoy his posts as they are extremely informative on a whole host of subjects and often with wry humour. Dash it all, I must be the the only person not to have viewed Do...

Been reading your posts and discussion with interest re Adams et al. Quite highbrow, may I say. Then you go and bring in Wolfie. Excellent! Wolfie. Loved watching Wolfie! Power to the people!

Bear in mind that a lot of Greek stoves are more ‘ornamental’ than ‘functional’ by which, I mean the seals around the door etc. Having said that, there has been a marked improvement with choice, since I first came in the early 1990s. We have a Charnwood stove, from the Isle of Wight ( bought before ...

Yes W. it’s all kaka!

If nothing else, I have learnt two new words through all this mess. Kakistocracy and omnishambles!

Aw DJ, what a lovely story and experience!

Yep, makes me smile too. In Scotland children were given a mother’s maiden name for their middle name. My father’s middle name was Bishop. Always causes genuflecting and hilarity when going through the process of paperwork especially at the olive factory.

That’s it Warwick! ‘Apostille’ is the word that I couldn’t remember.
