You state that you were educated in the UK and yet you have failed miserably in your assessment of the British people , and I do not include British passport holders whose allegiance is to a foreign country ..
Brittain has the most civilized and caring people you are likely to find in the world , it also has the most uncivilized and uncaring people and those are the Brits that make the news , the hooligans , single mothers uneducated relying on the state for hand outs producing kids right left and centre , mostly < and expecting society at large to take care of their offsprings , it also has a very large contingent of third world illiterate mostly immigrants , asylum seekers scroungers that hate our guts but love our benefits.

The most generous people you will come across are the British , the silent vast majority who do not go to Spain and seek out fish and chips , who do not come to Cyprus expecting hand outs from the government , but are solid citizens , orderly , civilized and caring . Our poor animals in Cyprus , if they could talk they would be singing God save the Queen because so much influence has been exerted by the Brits on animal welfare , also let me add here that many thousands of Cypriots , if not EVERY Cypriot has derived some sort of benefit by the presence of the Brits on our island.
As far as the British involvement with Cyprus as a British colony then the governments of the day were entirely responsible for much of the events that followed the 30s , 40s and 50s. Stubborn as mules , totaly absorbed in their own destiny , ignoring the plight of the people of Cyprus but at the same time acting entirely within the frame work of Empire Rule .
Let us also remember that the UK is the home of more than 250 thousand Cypriots .

Well said M. Funny how everyone is always quick to point out the bad points of another country, but very rarely accept the good. It is good to be patriotic but not obsessive and in so becoming blind to see the facts.

When we go abroad, we do not visit the chip shops etc. We taste the local cuisine, do the trips and try to learn a bit more about the country, the language and its culture. It was very wrong of Phoenix to generalise in such a way. The chip shops are there as the countries still think that is what the Brits want. Just like Cyprus they are 30 years out of date!!

I doubt your educational background Phoenix, but you should put it to better use and stop with the wild accusations. That in itself just tells me just how uneducated you are!

We all imagine what the people we talk to on this forum look like in real life and I have been surprised by some of the pictures that have been posted here, by how different they are to what I thought. Not in any bad way but just different. I have an image of two women on this forum and they are Phoenix and Rafealla........This is it.......Sorry but I can't help it.

Well Phoenix you astound me,where do you get this rubbish from.
Education,we have more Universities per head of population than any other country in Europe.Our entry level and pass rate at University is amongst the highest in the world,our top Universities are still the best in the world.I do not know where you lived in the Uk but it bears no resemblance to what I know as a father with a 12 year old girl.My daughter speaks three languages,but she is not alone ,in her year alone (190 pupils) 98.4% yes 98.4% speak two or more languages other than their mother tongue.
Inner City schools have problems,but we in the UK have always focussed on the neg rather than the pos.
The French,a tabliod story,the majority of UK residents have no problem,in fact we are among the top three visitors to France in Europe,we trade in Billions every day,we even help them out in times of crisis.
Let's not forget the UK is the largest multi cultural society in Europe,with a heddy mix of religions,cultures we seem to do ok in my books.
Cyprus and fish and chips,yes you are correct,but those days are going fast,we travel more frequently now,we travel further afield.Our holiday makers are fed up with high prices and over developed tourist resorts.
Cyprus as a whole,I love it,I have and my family have invested heavilly in Cyprus,property as well as business.I would like to think I have done my bit to support your economy and the people of Cyprus.

COLONIAL RESISTANCE REMEMBERED

The great resistance put up by the Turkish Cypriot people against the British Colonial Rule in Cyprus fifty years ago and the martyrs who fell during this resistance were remembered yesterday with ceremonies in Nicosia (Lefkosa). (27-28 January)

The first ceremony was held in front of the Martyrs’ Monument where wreaths were laid, a minute’s silence observed and shots fired in tribute to those who fell during the resistance.

The second ceremony was held at the Kucukkaymakli cemetery.
Messages have also been issued by some political parties and non-governmental organizations to mark the day.

..... I've got you thinking haven't I?

[purdey]

And...what are you trying to say now? You seem to have a few issues with other Counties,people,who is next.
Let's show a little respect here,the British still out number any European visitor to Cyprus and still sure up the Cypriot economy.

Zan, your fetish fantasies of Nazi Frauleins are well known ....

Maybe you should see a Doctor about them

[CopperLine]

Phoenix me old bigot,

I think you'll find that it was those loathesome no good Turks who kicked the ass of the British imperialists at Gallipoli and Kut. I think you'll find that it was those self-same Turks who defeated Greek imperialism in Anatolia five/six years later. I think you'll find that it was those self-same Turks who were alone in all the first world war combatants to refuse to sign a treaty of defeat with imperialist powers.

In that respect Turkey doesn't need any history lessons from you in its fight against imperialism.

[purdey]

Maybe you should have a re read through some of your posts.Maybe Zan is hitting on the truth ?
