Thanks for that Doug, he must have moved after the coup and invasion. I well remember St Andrews Street in Limassol being described as "Turkey town" back in the day. Village wines was a cellar below a brothel at the top end of St Andrews street (ISTR kilwhang may have introduced me though it could have been our Cpl Dave Jones, who was a bit of an expert) run by a Swiss ex patriot called Paul. Huge barrels of wine, mixed from various villages, could be blended by the demijohn at "very reasonable prices". £C5 for a demijohn of village made brandy was a real bonus. For a J/T on a few quid a week, a bargain. Akronelli really changed after that and most of my night stops enjoyed our kebabs just off base, rather than down town Limassol. We did experience an exception to that though of course. The wig has been retired.
