A British guy I thought of as an acquaintance with potential of becoming a friend introduced me to a Cypriot who quoted for some work.
I thought the quote was a bit high so I contacted a Cypriot engineer who was recommended by another acquaintance. The quote was almost HALF THE FIRST PRICE.
An excellent job was done by the second guy who i would have no hesitation in recommending
WELL DONE MARIOS of Limassol |

Maybe I should have said 'beware people who appear to be friendly'
amounts to the same thing

| So....Somebody British introduced you to a Cypriot that quoted you for a job, another Cypriot undercut that price, and you call the Brit a "snyde"....Did I miss something here? |

An old Cypriot once told me that anyone who became your 'friend' within a short time of first meeting you was after one or all the following,
Your Donkey, Your Money or Your Wife!
OK so its not very PC, for Donkey now read Mercedes and for Wife read Partner. Sadly in a world full of people on the make and their victims its good advice wherever you might wash up in life |
