One of the great curses of our new bus system is that it seems to have been planned by people who never actually travel by public transport.

Can somebody explain to me why Ayia Napa and Paralimni are not included on this super new intercity service?

The Famagusta region accommodates thousands of tourists during the high season, in addition to many more thousands of retired residents – but what service to they get?

Two morning busses a day to Nicosia at 8am and 10am, returning at 3pm (not Sundays).

If you are lucky enough to get a seat and can conduct all you business or sightseeing within 5 hours – the existing antiquated service is perfect.

If you want to work in the city and leave the car at home – forget it.

At worst, the David Cameron is now being "led by the nose" by a man whose own party suffered disastrous performance on election night, despite a publicity circus which made Clegg something of a media icon.

I would imagine Gordon Brown’s emotional range is a little more sophisticated than "Bigoted woman” – but that’s all we heard before the microphone signal disappeared.

So that tiny chunk of a private conversation, broadcast after an uncomfortable exchange with a pensioner, is now being described as the biggest political blunder of the election.

Some pundits are saying it was the last nail in Labours election campaign.

God forbid that David Cameron and Nick Clegg also bad mouth the great British public in private conversations during the election trail.

To compound the matter, the PM was then grilled on radio and forced to apologise, unaware he was being filmed looking hapless, tired and upset.

With the opening of the new waste management site at Koshi which will be featured in this Sunday’s paper, Commissioner for the Environment Charalampos Theopemptou is advising home owners to create their own compost bins.

Once car theft was seen as a crime which happened in other countries - you know what’s coming next:

“I remember Cyprus in the olden days when you could leave the keys in the car, the front door open and money on the kitchen sideboard…”

Experts tell us that Cyprus is set to become one of Europe’s most densely populated nations within two generations, driven by immigration and an ageing society.

Before my comments start a small world war, I must point out I am a dog lover. My happy little Bishon- Fries “Mr Chas” is the undisputed king of the Morley household.

His every whim is my command, we are companions and friends.

When I’m in Finland or Germany, I am always struck by the almost impeccable road democracy. There is space for all people — motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and cars.

Traffic lights are synchronised and work all the time, motorways run efficiently and rarely does one see traffic police on the roads.

There is road democracy when all users have their secure space on the roads, free from lunatics on mobile phones, couples arguing or getting caught behind dangerous old bangers struggling to hit the 60 kilometer mark.

Sound familiar?

Digital newspaper archives have become a constant source of fascination for me lately, with my credit card burning up subscriptions to several sites offering a glimpse into the past for as little as a tenner a month.

Whilst browsing a few old American newspapers, I noticed a selection of seemingly random letters that had been written by residents of Cyprus between 1920 -1975.
