Decline in Turkish Tourism

[Scunner]

But Keith you don't know about living in Turkey today, you live in Scotland, I live in Gunlukbasi and so I accept that you have a bit more local knowledge of Perth and I have a bit more local knowledge of Fethiye. Please start a topic about tourism to Perth and I will be happy to comment on the place having drove past it while en route to see an important customer in Dundee.

George, I'm a bit surprised.  You always come across as an extremely reasonable bloke, who is quite happy to put your view across and also listen to other folks points of view.  Are you really suggesting that because someone doesn't *live* in Turkey their opinion/knowledge is less valuable than someone who does?

It must be serious, I've known him about 12 years and since the above discussion he has unfriended me on Facebook!

My God, I miss the expat mentality.

Oh dear! And I was thinking (unrelated at the time) that having some moderators that live in this area and actually regularly contribute to CBF would be good for CBF and generate a bit more debate, and I was thinking that George.... oh well never mind   

[Scunner]

I love a good debate as can be seen. I don't unfriended people who's view differs from mine though.

It's a discussion forum, for all people to say what their view is. Not expats, not holiday home owners, not holidaymakers.

Everyone.

When this one started to kick off I was going to offer to hold yer coats!!  But come on everyone, we all have - and hopefully enjoy - a bit of knockabout on the CBF, and shouldn't take things too seriously or indeed personally.  Blimey in the past I have had a bit of knockabout with many on CBF, including both Scunner and Rimms.... and look forward to doing so in the future!! : :

BTW anyone thnking of defriending me on Chimpbook, don't bother ..... I'm not on it.

I haven't fallen out with anyone

Haha, quite possibly.

Now, enough about me. What should be done to get these tourists back?

I've lost all my friends evidently

Good question!

Clean the sea up by sorting the source of the pollution would be a good start.

Cost wise the flights are putting people off but surely the exchange rate must be helping compensate for this?

Restaurants need to up their game but that's an old argument.

That's because you support people who poo in the sea
