Hello all,

It is amazing really to keep reading all the 'poison' that flows regarding the North/South divide of the island. People saying that the Turks live in 'Greek' owned houses with their animals... that there is no infraststructure.... that water and electricity take 5 years to connect.... that the Turks stole Greek Cypriot land.

The land, pre 74, was not 'Greek Cypriot'.. it was 'Cypriot'. A mixture of Greek and Turkish Cypriots. Funny that Tim makes some positive comments regarding the north and all of a sudden he is a paid hand! Everyone else can make positive comments regarding the south but they are not paid hands! Work that one out! There are definatley people on this website that have a vested interest in putting people off buying in the north, that is obvious from the regularity and content of their input.

As I have stated before on here, I have spent a great deal of time on the island, and stayed on both sides of the border. There are positives and negatives on both sides. The start of this thread I totally agree with; the attitude of the Greek Cypriots towards Brits has changed dramatically over the past 20 years. Back then we were in favour, now the Russians are top of the tree and the Brits are not in favour anymore. Riots a few years ago, burning police and military vehicles, anger over the Brit military bases.. etc. all show how feelings towards Brits have declined. However, many people still enjoy Cyprus, both North and South, and I am one of those people.

I am not Pro North or Pro South, but things should be looked at without the constant need for sniping across the border. No wonder there is not an agreement regarding the island.... even the Brit expats are joining in the *****ing. How about just focusing on the expat way of life in relation to replies on here, and leave the politics of Cyprus to the Cypriots?!
