Packaging much the same here as at home. J breaks a shoelace and finds that he can buy a packet of ten at the discount shop for only a euro. thus he is now the proud possessor of nine pairs of shoelaces surplus to requirements, including a pair of orange ones and a pair of pink. The problem, of course, being that a single pair of black shoelaces costs noticeably more than his multipack.
We get two weather forecasts here in English - or actually, in the case of Euronews, in silence. CYBC, the government chanel, provides a brief forecast at the end of its short evening English news, while Euronews, in the morning, pans quickly over a map of Europe, allowing little time for a focus that would, in any case, be wasted as the map itself is slightly out of focus. Neither forecast extends beyond 24 hours, which is perhaps a blessing - as I look at BBC website's weather at the internet and find heavy showers predicted in Larnaca for the next four days.
