1). Why is it that the bananas in the plantations are covered with

etc. etc.

2). Why are SO many Cypriots called Hadji.............

something?

I have just answered your first post but it has now gone. :lol: I think a moderator must have been culling double posts. :wink:

Don't know about the blue bags, but I could answer the question that isn't posted on this version of your topic. :wink:

Think this might have something to do with it :)

Noun hadji - an Arabic term of respect for someone who has made the pilgrimage to Mecca

I am not 100% , but.
I thought that blue was supposed to be the color that was
