Strangest Thing You Brought to Turkey in Your Suitcase?
« on: July 26, 2013, 15:29:22 PM »
Believe it or not, I once brought three bar stools over to Turkey. All three in one suitcase, sort of flatpacked. They were almost impossible to find over there.

A Turkish carpet. I'd bought it a number of years before I made the move here & would have been lucky to have got a quid for it at the car boot sale, it fitted my decor here, so back it came

A screwdriver set is on our holiday packing list!

Some hotels have habit of putting the aircon control in a box, with the temperature pre-set, with only the on/off button accessible.  Settings never suit us.  With the screwdrivers we can open it up and adjust it.

Some pre cut decking to make a small deck platform by our pool and a wheelbarrow garden planter.
I have also brought over stuff like paint (interesting at Manchester airport) and one of those collapsable ladders.
