A new category...'WORK WANTED / AVAILABLE'...has been added to Lefkas Life. You can find it on the drop-down list of 'Odds & Bobs'.
If you're looking for work or have work available and want people to know, send an email with full details to lefkaslife@gmail.com and it will be posted there for the world to see.
Just as an aside.... Since it's inception, nearly two years ago, Lefkas Life website has been visited a little over 60,000 times. Not a web sensation but I'm pleased. The vast majority of visits have, unsurprisingly, been made from people in Greece and the UK. So, if you have anything at all to say that may be of interest or use to the ex-pat community of Lefkas write to Lefkas Life and get it out there.

ROAD TAX PAYMENT GOES ON-LINE
Owners of Greek registered vehicles can now print their 2013 road tax form using the online TAXISnet system, then use this to pay at banks, post offices or tax offices. They have to do so by the end of December.
Authorities will no longer issue road tax stickers. Instead, all data will be logged electronically.
The move is estimated to save some 80 million euros per year.
click on this link to take you to the very simple application to print out your road tax form
The pages are in Greek only. If you can't translate it, then this is what you do.
On the page that comes up from the link, press the button (which is 'enter'). The next page that comes up is the application
In the left-hand box enter your AFM (tax number). In the right-hand box enter your Vehicle licence plate number.
Press the left-hand button (Search)....after a moments thought some red writing comes up.... which says the search has been successful and instructing you to press 'Print', which is the middle of the three buttons. Do this, and either print immediately or save to file on your computer for printing later.
Take the printed document to the bank and pay, anytime up to Dec 31st. They will stamp and sign one of the discs for you to keep and retain the other for their records. (take your passport just in case you need it for identity purposes) Job complete.
The right hand button of the three, by the way, is to reset the form if you made a mistake or want to apply for another vehicle after you've done the first one.

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY 11/11/2012
The act of observing a Two Minute Silence began in 1919 following the Armistice at 11am on 11 November 1918 at the end of the First World War. A pause to reflect and remember the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice
Remembrance is no longer just about those who fought in the two World Wars of the last century, but also about those involved in the many other conflicts worldwide since 1945 and those still fighting for peace and freedom now.
The life that we all enjoy is a direct result of the sacrifices they made. Let us remember them and honour them.
