Interesting lists - the bad boys run to 25 pages whilst the good eggs only manage 8. No surprise there, I suppose.............

First off, welcome Biggles... :D

I'm guessing that list of baddies is mainly cypriots or are there non-cypriots listed also :?

I suppse they think the majority of people won't notice the odd cent/€ here or there but I noticed the price difference in the fuel well before they mentioned it in the press that they were putting up the prices, they seemed to do it & then let people know :roll:

Yes I got stung the other day at the hairdressers.

Thought I had finally found a really good hairdresser after I went on my first visit in November (he had only been open about a month) and was charged CYP8. Went again on Tuesday and the cost was 17 euro - obviously I did not realise that he had put the price up by nearly CYP2.

I must remember to take my converter out with me so I don't get stung again, although I will query it with him as he does a really good cut and I can walk to the shop with no problems for parking :lol: .

No Pete - further up towards the traffic lights (next door to the new kiosk).

Oh right, didn't know about that one... surely the other one near me is closer for you, but by the looks he might be quite expecsive, as he as a LCD tv hanging on the wall in the salon :roll:

As well as this, the Euro apparently isn't working out brilliantly for those in the service industry either - friend of mine works in a hair salon (not the one that ripped Trish off!) and says tips that used to be 1 pound are now for 1 Euro, 2 Euros instead of 2 pounds etc, which makes quite a big difference to the take-home salary! :(

Yeah I always give the girls at the Esso station on Mesoyi road a tip when they fill my car up & wash my windscreen, it use to be cyp£1 but last night I gave them a €2 coin instead, so a raise :lol:

Gosh...you're generous Pete...I've only ever given 50c. Must love you pulling in, with a €2 tip :hurray

And where are these girls you talk about...I've never seen them. Oh, I get it, nice tip = voluptuous females. Must try that next time. :lol: Lloyd

Pete the other one had opened up first before that one was even fitted out, so thought I would give it a try and must admit he does a brilliant hair cut. He takes at least 45 minutes just cutting my hair. The first time he went a bit scissor happy but when I pointed out his mistakes he made sure he didn't do it a second time, plus after so many visits he gives 15% discount, so although I was ripped off in one sense I am still willing to pay that for a really good cut especially after over three years here and never being completely happy with my hair. So I am just keeping my fingers crossed that he keeps up the good work. :D
