I also like to listen in when a Turk asks a price at the market but have actually found sometimes there is only a 5 lira difference!

Spotted a sign in a shop in the bazaar last week "3 for 10" 10 what I asked he said pounds my reply was I don't have any pounds only Euros OK that will do 10 euros.

What the sign clearly meant was whatever currency you were going to pay in so if you were Turkish it was 10 lira, American 10 dollars and so on

Or another classic in the market is "3 for £10 or 30 lira". £ 10 has not equaled 30 lira since 2006!
