guestI find the comments extremely offensive. As a Cypriot who lived and worked there people are anything but lazy; (I now live in central Europe because my skills were such that i was offered a job here...)in fact they are very inventive and industrious and some of the most highly educated people on the planet, and definitely better educated that the average Brit. Some labour must be sought abroad simply due to the lack of enough people or some skills.
