I hired a car from a hire company at Christmas in Cyprus. The Manager is a good friend of ours, We have used his company for 7 years and given them loads of business. Through friends visiting Cyprus.
I have just Hired a Mercedes in London through one of the Big Companies. It works out at 1.05 Euros a day more than a Pajero in Cyprus.
Cyprus needs to forget the Cyprus Pound and join the real world or suffer the consequenses this Summer

Looks like somebody else needs to join the real world . Cyprus forgot the Cyprus Pound precisely one year and one day ago.

Some Pajeros are more expensive than some Mercedes models...

I think its other way around, your pride led you to economical meltdown... will sterling ever recover?

no!

[Raymanoff]

exactly, and now this is affecting us all... i have a 80% drop in UK projects just because i am too expensive now... although i even lowered my rates.

The only to escape the crunch is living on a deserted island!

I'm fed up of hearing Cyprus ,Spain, or wherever is pricing itself out of the market. Prices in Cyprus have not risen a great deal over the last few years in comparison with the UK

Its the weak sterling that is pricing Brits out of the market

eg This time last year it was 1.2 pounds sterling =1 euro

5 years ago it was around 1.6 euro per pound sterling

Its now 1 for 1

We (The Brits) had the opportunity to go in at 1.58 approx 5 years ago and turned down the chance cos we didn't want to lose our pound (LOL)

Then again the Brits know best.....
