I live here you know seems to be a particular calling cry of the english at home and abroad. I heard it about a month ago in Cornwall from some pillock who was going the wrong way round a roundabout.

The English invented roundabouts, so it's OK.  ;)

Bunch of morons.  The usual expats who think it's their God given right to get things on the cheap 'cos we live here' 
Yes and the people that come out now and again and think its their God Given rights to cheap flights,
because they own a place here?

The TL has rallied against the US$ due in part to tighter restrictions on personal credit, limiting the amount of foreign currency that can be exchanged in a day (affects speculators that buy and sell for profit causing it to drive the lira down) and Qatar promising to inject US$15 Billion into the Turkish economy.

Turkey has also reciprocated with sanctions against the US putting various tariffs on the import of cars, alcohol, rice, cigars targeting about $1 billion worth of the $12 billion imports into Turkey.

The US is the 4th largest exporter to Turkey.

The American Pastor has not been released (High Court) but will go to appeal.

Firstly, we don't own a place in Calis.

But I am fairly sure that those who do only want to pay the same as expats for flights.

I don't think I've ever met a single UK based Calis property owner who believed they had some God given right to cheap flights.

What a load of tosh.

Oh sorry, was that a bit too cliquey?
