Gloom and doom

Sir,
I have to agree with Pete Cross of Portsmouth, it all appears very gloomy in Cyprus at the moment.

I bought an apartment from plan two years ago and will be taking possession at the end of this year. I am now wondering what has caused such a change and will it be the ideal retirement I was looking forward to!

I wonder, in part, whether entry into the European Community has changed things? Certainly another factor that appears in the news on a regular basis is the somewhat low, or is it poor, level of policing.

What do others think?
