San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

That'll be enormously good fun when there's a twenty mile per hour wind blowing in the wrong direction!!! 

Let's hope this is managed as successfully as the Avliotes bypass.

The flight times may be altered until they actually start flying. For two years the Thomson 6am flight was moved to 9am. Still, it will be in the same ball-park.

Residents have to eat by 9 pm. 9:30 is a good time to turn up.

Just for the facts - I've had some severely aggressive attacks by non-smokers. Maybe they should have a cig and calm down!

Without entering the debate again, Frankie, which I don't want to do, people eat at different times. Some people may be on the Metaxa (spelling) and fags when others are arriving.

Nafsika, apart from excellent food, has a very large non-smoking area, which I commend to those who find the smell of tobacco more irritating than the pervasive smell of cheap perfume, mosquito repellent and barbecue lighter-fuel.

As Andy pointed out, Little Prince tried this and had several empty tables for the night.

I have always been, and will always be, sensitive to the wishes of those nearby.

 

WinJ,

It would be sad if you were to leave. There is no "gang mentality" here. What there is a lively expression of opinion. I get loads of stick, because I'll usually say what I think is true.

It's called democracy - an idea invented by the ancient Greeks.

There are two separate things in this forum:

(1) Somebody asking a question about (say) an apartment. They will get one or many experienced and objective responses. We all try to be helpful, and have been.

(2) Somebody starting an "opinion" thread, like this one. If you do that you can expect, not just here, but in many forums, to find that not everybody rides on your hobby-horse. There will be "fors" and "againsts."  It's important to keep a sense of humour and recognise that we do not always agree about everything. That's what keeps the forum going over the winter when we'd all rather be sitting on a beach. You cannot reasonably expect not to be challenged.

Many of us have heated exchanges on the forum, but will happily meet up and chew the fat (sometimes literally) in Agios Stephanos, have a hug and a drink, and enjoy life. That's the essence of being away from it all in a nice place: we forget political and other divisions and just enjoy the company and some life-experience sharing.

Please continue to take part in the fun.

Jim
