I hear there is a firework rule in Cyprus. No fireworks. Is this true? If so how come the Wave Dancer can use them? |

you need to have permission to use them , you will never see them on public sale in the shops .. its bad enough at hunting season when they all shoot each other You dont really want to give them fireworks |

Parents buy them for their kids in TRNC and smuggle them back, particularly at Easter. The fine if caught is a severe telling off but you can still hang on to them - this is Cyprus and my second cousin is in customs. |

Easter in Hillbillie country is the time for fireworks, a huge bonfire in the church courtyard, which has been defended from attack by neighbouring villagers, loads of rockets and fancy firworks, homemade bangers that sound like grenades, at midnight the priest lights a candle and we walk anti clockwise around the church with your lighted candle, no idea why just follow everybody else, then an effigy of Polemi Dave is thrown on the bonfire, we then all cheer and go home for a drink and cyprus sausages cooked on an open fire. In Polemi we even have somebody with a bren gun who lets rip a couple of times in the field behind our bungalow. |

90% true Neil They do not burn an effigy of yours truly, obviously I am very popular . Secondly Disco is going a bit deaf in his old age - there was not one Bren gun this year .................. there were two, the sound coming from different locations. |
