@pkaratsareas I shouldn't have looked at these early in the day. I'm crying. Being Cypriot is so tough sometimes.

I think it's more than surname (my dad's not ethnically Cypriot) it's also the fact I'm perceived as potentially being either too anglicised

or and this is heartbreaking, potentially Turkish Cypriot and therefore in their eyes not Cypriot.

But given you had positive experiences and I'm desperate to talk in Greek Cypriot as I don't know many (even though I live in Haringey LOL)

I'll go to some events organised by the community. I'm worried about the church's influence too ofc.
