As an ethnic minority (but only just - these days) living in Cyprus I nearly fell off me chair when I heard what is going on in the House of Representatives here. Currently, fornt seat belts must be worn and SOME people do SOME of the time. The proposal was that this was extended to rear s/belts. The Opposition claimed that this was prejudical to large families who would have to choose which 3 of their children would be endangered and which 3 would wear belts. Does it not occur to these people that driving 8-up might be dangerous/illegal in itself! The Association of Large families (I kid you not) then suggested that large families should be entitled to Duty Free large cars! Come back Parliament, all (well nearly all) is forgiven!
