For those with no allegiance I'd say Oz is far better and clearly for some Cyprus is better. We all make our choices. You've obviously never got off the train at Wembley, Slough, Bradford or even Southall where the station signs are actually printed in two languages.... There is a typo in them - they should obviously read "You're welcome to Southall"... I seem to recall signs in Cyprus being in two languages as well. Are you suggesting that they just be in Greek ?Cyprus has a long history with the UK - we owned it until 1960 and still have a number of sovereign base areas here - hence the English road signs, electrical sockets, telephone sockets, legal system, driving on the correct side of the road, etc.I don't think the same holds for Southall or Wembley and those that now live there...I hope you are not referring to all the gigaboos, niggers,coons and the pakis...you racist bastard.........

Anyone thinking I've never been to Wembley is 2 pints short of a shilling
