Can you tell listeners who he is, what do we know about him, and what is his significance in understanding the diaspora in the UK? So John Thimides is taken to be

the first Cypriot immigrant to London.

Of course, we can understand that nothing like this can be 100% certain, but he certainly appears to be the first Cypriot to be mentioned in some kind of record in the UK.

And this is because he married a woman called Elizabeth Deborah Thorne, who was Belgian but lived in London at the turn of the 20th century.

So he was from Morpho and he is talked about in Harry's book on the roots of the Greek community in Great Britain.

So what Haris Metis was able to gather came from the grandchildren of John Thymides, who themselves didn't have a lot of information about the grandfather, but they were able to tell Haris Metis the story that the grandfather had been born in Morpho.

His parents wanted him to become a priest.

Can you speak to each of these and tell listeners, you know, what this reveals? What is it indicative of?
