Diplomacy skills??
Diplomacy skills??
Just had an enquiry in.
Twice.
1st time asking about dates etc. Then a 2nd one came in;
I have just emailed you and after I looked at your villa i realised I didnt know which airlines come to you. Is Paphos the nearest airport and which airlines fly there in October
All I can say is if she flew into Pathos - she'd have a long taxi ride
How can I diplomatically reply without implying she's intellectually challenged

Mols has posted a link that might be useful
I find this site very useful:
http://www.flightmapping.com/maps/Europe/
If you haven't already got it, stick it in your favourites, it's quite helpful if someone wants to fly from a UK regional airport to wherever you are.
Cheers all

I wouldn't even mention Paphos. Just say to her, "Our nearest airport is XXX, and the following airlines fly there" or something similar.

PS. I realise that you are all laughing, so she must have asked a stupid question? I am going to ask you something similar. Where is Paphos? Can I surmise that it is a long way from where you are???
PS. Musetta - If last week's person was contacting you from the US for example, then it's all relative - if she was going to be in Venice, then you could say that she was going to be in your area!!! (Sort of!)

NC, I'm only going by what Mousie stated originally, that Paphos is on Cyprus. I know that Ibiza and Cyprus are in the same sea, but no where near each other. Otherwise, I'd have been baffled myself! I wouldn't call it a stupid question. Just an uniformed one.Normandy Cow wrote: PS. I realise that you are all laughing, so she must have asked a stupid question?

Im with Jay and NC on this...I only know where lots of places are because Ive been there..Geography didnt do much for me at schoolNC, I'm only going by what Mousie stated originally, that Paphos is on Cyprus.

Slight thread creep....but a friend of mines daughter... finally got a decent score on her school report for geography and the comment... 'that she could now find her way around the school unassisted' As she says of her daughter...she'll have to get by on her looksGeography didnt do much for me at school
Now - back to diplomacy
