(Sadly, it's not so much that you didn't at first tell the truth, it was the fact you were once again guilty of putting on a negative spin to simply put down Cyprus and its practices.)
Firstly, I didn't lie - I didn't mention that my wife had gone to the bank because I knew you would turn the discussion into an attack on me - play the man, not the ball is a classic tactic of yours. True to form, you blamed me for the problems and chose to ignore the actions of the bank.
Secondly, I haven't put a negative spin on anything. This is (I believe?) a Cyprus forum and I have simply posted about my current experiences with the banks. I would have done the same had I had a similar experience in the UK. It is only you that believes that by putting your head in the sand and pretending the problems do not exist they will magically go away.
Thirdly, don't attack my standards - you should look up hypocrisy in the dictionary and see how the word applies to your accusation that I
"attack anyone who questions"....
Oh what a tangled web you weave when you practice to deceive ...
So now the whole post was orchestrated for my benefit? For what you imagined I would say if you said this or that? CG, take a chill pill. If you look back at your post, I hadn't been posting for quite a while so was not party to anything. It was RichardB who responded to your claims with something sensible. I posted to RichardB in support of the fact it didn't sound so black and white to me. Yet, you even had quotation marks around the Bank Manager's very words. Then you challenged
me, digging yourself in deeper, even providing more direct quotes from the Bank Manager and asserting:

Seems that you were in no better position than myself to formulate direct quotes attributable to this manager but were simply spoiling for a fight.
Anyway, I'm not out to fight, though given time, I do respond when something's irksome.
But there is a pattern of behaviour here which is worrying as I have 'known' you for a while and if there's something
truly bothering you, I can take a more sympathetic line. Just say.
