UNLESS we start praying for rain from now and the Archbishop organises some special church services for rain, I suspect we will be in for a very difficult summer next year, as regards the water supply – probably worse than 2008.
CYPRUS: land of the bittersweet blackberry? Somehow it doesn’t sound quite right. But my drive up to Agros on one sweltering day was full of rather odd antitheses.
‘The doctors knew I was willing to go through anything to save my son’
THE FATHER of a boy that is not biologically his says that he had never stopped loving his child and that no matter what his ex-wife had done, he would always consider the boy his own.
With reference to a letter addressed by Mr Davis published in your paper of the 12/6/09, I find that it warrants an urgent handling, not so much for its contents, but for the effects that these extreme views might lead to.
I would appreciate if you could put the following letter in your Letters Page.
The front cover of the Cyprus Mail on Tuesday the 4th August was great news. The second biggest tourist industry in Cyprus is the Cypriots.
Regarding the letter posted by Matthew Stowell, I have to agree with some of what he is saying. However I can’t see how he can say the police are corrupt, I’m not saying they are or they are not. BUT they do need to stop these kids from using the seafront road as a drag strip and it’s not just down by Debenhams. This is happening all along the front, up at the traffic lights outside the Arsinoe
In support of Hermes Solomon, Sunday Mail, July19 article, ‘Surely we are not so stupid’ might I mention a BBC World Service news report about nuclear power stations broadcast early in July?

I read the article in Cyprus Mail about Jasmitha and I was very happy and proud, happy because she is well and proud because she was treated so well and professionally in Israel. As a volunteer at the hospital where she was treated – where many Cypriots come for treatment, I had the honour to meet and help her and I wish her good health.

AN OFFICIAL response to a high profile petition launched on the Downing Street website has left title deed campaigners disappointed.
The petition, submitted in May by British businessman Leslie Glassock, was signed by over 2,000 people, all calling for an end to delays in issuing of title deeds.
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.
