Random Questions..
« on: September 29, 2013, 20:12:31 PM »
Hi Everyone,
I have some random questions if anyone knows the answers please.

Do the clocks go back and forward in Turkey.
If you take a British tv with freeview built in, does it still get freeview..Turkish or English?
How much extra luggage can you take with you, do you need to book it or is it classed as been over weight and you pay per kilo when you get there.
Do you need a special dvd player or will the british one play turkish dvds?
What are those double teapot/kettle things for?
If you have a balcony barbecue is it easy to have a wood burner on the wall behind.

Thanks in advance, strange what goes through your head isnt it.
Bernie

Yes the clocks change
British TV won't work I don't think
How much luggage you take depends on the airline you fly with and which class
British dvd player works fine
You make real strong tea in one pot and hot water in the other

Well the TV will work, but certainly won't get Freeview.

Sorry. Had to use the quote so I could see your questions as I reply.

Clocks - Yes, same as UK
No, Freeview won't work here
Luggage - you can take what is allowed when you book your ticket, any overweight is charged per kilo at your departure point
Any DVD should be fine, in any event, a brand new one here is about 60tl
Teapots things are surprisingly.......for making tea, preferably Turkish tea
Finally, probably No. You need a proper flue but you need to get a recommended expert in to advise. Don't take any chances with this one.

Freeview would work if you could get an aerial 375 miles long

 ;DThanks for the replies. Definately will get professional advise on wood burner thanks.

I wondered if it picked up a Turkish version of freeview..I know scarey aint I Scunner..lol

Looks like it might be cheaper to get a last min cheap return with a luggage allowance for a friend.

All cleared up, except the tukish tea things, why do you have 2 pots, how do you make it.

 ;D :-\

Tea leaves and hot water in the top pot pretty much the same way as you'd make it at home. The bottom pot just has hot water in it. As the top pot stews, the tea gets stronger so you pour less of it into the cup or glass and dilute it with the hot water from the bottom pot.

Ah, chai. Here's a video showing you how it's made, Bernie. Not a quick cuppa that's for sure ...
