Trainer, do you stay in the quiet part of Calis, cos i've been to a market near us between 4am and 6am for cigs and beer, the twins used to open 24/7, as did Mete market, the one opposite there, i think it's called Didim market and Cem market uually opens 24/7 during summer and a lot of the time during winter as well, and burger 24 usually opens 24/7 during summer, but in winter it closes between 03-30 and 04-00 then opens again at 09-00, hardly worthwhile closing, unless it's all changed.

Definately worth going back to question this - sounds like human error to me, probably tapped 2.04 instead of 2.40 into the calculator by mistake?

You definitely would not have got 2.40 from First Choice in the UK at that time.

Picked up some lira today to get us going for the first few days - rate was only 2.179 to the pound.  This time last year it was 2.65 (in Calis)!!

Maybe 2.04 in First Choice was right?  2.4 sounds quite high at the moment.
