BLOODY foreigners were at it again in the last week, telling us when and how to solve the Cyprob, how to run our economy, to stop hiring unemployable Akelites in our civil service and what shape our cucumbers should be.
TO THE inhabitants of the Pyrgos area, on either side of the Green Line, it is almost as if time has stood still for the past 40 years or so. First the intercommunal strife of the early 1960s and then the invasion in 1974 tore asunder the communities of Greek and Turkish Cypriots.

CYPRIOT children have one of the unhealthiest diets in Europe and are the most inactive, new research has shown.
“Cypriot children eat too much fat, too much sugar and too much salt. Their unhealthy diet is compounded by the fact that they do not take enough exercise,” said Dr Michalis Tornaritis, who heads the IDEFICS research study in Cyprus.
Congratulations to Larnaca Municipality for solving the parking problems and helping the shops to get over the present economical crisis.
What does it matter that pedestrians have to walk between cars as long as all our car owners doesn’t need to waste any energy walking more than five metres to their favourite shop.
I read with some despondency the article in the June 21 issue of the Sunday Mail, which originated from a scheme member who did not even have the courage or common courtesy to give his or her name.
With reference to the letter of Ms Hoyle (Which version of Greek? Sunday Mail, June 28). The answer is simple, learn Greek and the Cypriot will follow, or at least your comprehension of it will.
In the past, once a week, your newspaper published a small map of Cyprus on which would be recorded a reading for pollution at six or seven location around the island.
Sir,
We refer to your article under the heading Legal stakes raised in Cyprus title deed scandal published on June 28 and categorically reject the false and unsubstantiated accusations against our company and, specifically, your description of our company Aristo Developers as:
Our thanks go out to the local Fire Service during huge fire at Ha Potami near Kouklia a few weeks ago. The Fire Service worked tirelessly to control the whole thing.
Helicopters were working constantly for 2-3 hours and a single wing plane also with disregard for their own safety. Thanks to everyone.
Phil Roberts,

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
