Default IM MIGHT BE OFF (FOR GOOD)

Been over to see my brother who moved out to cyprus 2years ago ,and now im seriously thinking about selling up and moving out there, went in to bar street and blow me there is a bar for sale,my brother knows the girl who owns it so get talking,goes back next day look at the books and its doing ok but could do with so major changes to fully potentialize the bar,put a offer in and waiting to hear,but of a night there are no kids/gangs hanging around ,you can leave your car open etc,the bills are silly money £5 a month electric,£8 a month water how cheap is that,just goes to show BRITAIN IS A RIP OFF.
Just waiting to hear from me bro and if the offer gets accepted then im off for a better life of course taking the cossie over there

P.S. PETROL IS 45.4p HOW CHEAP IS THAT

tell Channel 4 - they can make one of those "No going back" documentories on you - except that everything seems to turn to shit when they follow the progress of the people they film

Good luck anyway ( I did it a long, long time ago!)

If you dont mind me asking how much goes a bar/pub cost in cyprus.. me and my mate have thought about this a few times but never really got round to doing anything.. ive now got a fair bit of collateral in my house so it seems like a reasonable venture if the price was right!

you can better sell your car in England... I thought average price in England is something like 15000 pounds ???

well in spain you an buy an escort cosworth for average of 10.000 - 12.500 EUROS .. and saves you the hassle of importing it over there

Wicked fun, I broke the two rear springs in ours on the FIRST jump after the beach landing I got stuck on the beach as I came off the ferry and the guy was like 'no no no you have to drive it like you stole it'

Well that was just a red rag to a bull. We only had a little suzuki as it was the only car left and I was sulking at first as I wanted the biggest most expensive 4x4 on the island but in the end I was glad we only had a little jimmy. It was sooooo much fun!

Best place in the world.
