I have been trying to tell a couple who are making trips every 3-5 weeks to the Occupied Turkish area of Cyprus that they are likely to get stopped at sometime when returning through the Greek Cypriot area of Cyprus, that they may face serious consequences as they are bringing back fake handbags etc to sell in Southern Cyprus. I was informed that they may even have their vehicle confiscated. Does anyone know if this is so, as they are ignoring me, and I don't want them to come to any harm, as they are friends of mine.

Wavydavy to be fair you have warned them !
Many don't take on board the significance that just crossing the boarder you are leaving the eu and entering the middle East, and some of the privileges of owning a British passport don't mean diddly squat ! My daughter used to live in the north and my experience of the boarder guards , Cypriot or un if caught in the wrong mood can be very difficult. You friends would do well to play safe.

Agree with what you say Mouse. As you say, I have given them good advice, so can do no more.

When on holiday in Turkey just about anything you bought was fake. A bar owner was going on about how good it will be when Turkey joins the EU.
I said to him "You see that shop over there well if this was in the EU all that stock would be confiscated" Adidas, Levi, Wrangler, Reebok etc, etc, etc. Because once in the EU you cannot do that. he was quite shocked.
