What You, the Visitors Inform us

Some ex pats in our Crete Forum even write odes to us! (:- (;-

AN ODE TO BIC

"I FOUND THIS EX-PAT RABBLE QUITE BY CHANCE
AND HOPED MY LIFE, ON CRETE, THEY’D ENHANCE
I ASKED A FEW Q’s AND GOT BACK A FEW A’s.
LIFTING MY SPIRITS WHILST COUNTING THE DAYS

QUESTIONS ON HOUSING, ANIMALS AND DAMP
IF I STAY IN THE SUN, WILL I GET CRAMP?
IS LIFE SO MUCH BETTER IN THE SOUTH MED?
WHO CARES, ONE DAY WE’LL ALL BE DEAD

IS THE SEA WET? DO THE CLOUDS HIDE THE SUN?
CAN YOU BUY BROWN SAUCE WITH CHIPS IN A BUN?
WILL I BE EATEN OR JUST OR JUST GNAWED AT THE EDGES?
(IF THEY DON’T SELL CHIPS, WHAT ABOUT WEDGES?)

WHEN THE QUESTIONS ARE DULL OR WE’RE IN A BAD MOOD
WE TURN ON SOMEONE, WE SO WANT TO BE CRUDE.
WE WANT TO BE CHILDISH AND SAY HOW WE FEEL
BUT WITH GERALD (NEW ADMIN) THAT’S NOT THE DEAL

I PEN THIS CRAPPY ODE FOR ALL TO READ ON THIS SITE
NOT FOR POSITIVE REPLIES OR TO START A BIG FIGHT
NO, I WANT TO MAKE ONE THING GO AWAY IN A BLINK
HUNDRED-PLUS POSTS TO STOP MY NAME BEING PINK"

Brits in Crete Forum was offline April 16 - April 27, 2007 due to a dispute between our then domain name registrar and their supplier of web hosting server capacity. We recovered from what looked like a total loss of the web files with the extraordinary help and technical support of Legend/Thus plc, and the staff at their subsidiary Designer Servers Ltd based in Lancaster. We are now a direct client of theirs. Our members made their loyalty clear:

"thank you gerald i have really missed you and the board /of course) as this is the only way that i can keep up to speed as to the day to day life/issues there on crete. many thanks for all of your hard work/tantrums! and efforts to get the site back on track. a double whatever for the man...carla" April 28, 2007 (e-mail)

"So glad the forum is back. Looked at a couple of others during the break but not in the same league really. Cheers."

"Yes! Finally! WELCOME BACK!!!! I've missed the forum terribly!Kickie."

"Sad to say, it leaves a bit of a gap when you can't connect and check the forum on a daily basis as most of us do! Kind regards Kate" April 26, 2007 (e-mail)

"Although members for 9 months this is our 1st posting (probably of many) as we test the expertise of the resident experts. Superb site with some very constructive comment + a few laughs...."
Doug, Nov, 2006.

The Daily Mail online ........."You'd reach a wider audience by posting a message on some of the Crete Forums, such as Brits In Crete"...
"BritsinCrete.co.uk"
This site is another gem in the Cretan web world. If you've done a Google or Yahoo search about Crete, chances are you've landed squarely upon this hugely informative site. Most of the information featured on BritsInCrete has been forged through the sweat and tears of trial, error and wisely directed effort. Members of the site's forum are treated to correct and thorough answers to their questions from a multitude of really smart British people. This is the site the real James Bond (Sean Connery) would use if he had a mission to Crete."
