I've been looking for ages for a suitably sized clothes hanging rail for our attic bedroom that cannot fit a normal sized wardrobe.
When we were at our villa in September, I dashed into a sportsware shop near the Fish Market in Fethiye, looking for said rail in order to take a photo so I could more easily show shopkeepers what I was looking for. I spotted just the type, complete with wheels (of course hung with sportsware) but it looked a bit too long. Mr AM patiently (or not!) waiting at the entrance called out "howzat?" and I said "it's too long". The nice chatty salesman, after realising that I was not in the market for his sportsware, but rather for his shop furniture, was amazingly helpful.
"I have a smaller one" he said, and immediately yanked off a lot of clothes hanging on a hidden smaller rail in the corner of his shop. I had a Goldilocks moment because it looked just right. I asked how much, and he said 30 TL. I could hardly believe it - not just the price but that he would sell it. Not only that but he promised to deliver it next day.
The next day I saw a broken down motorbike coming down the road with the guy holding up the rail with one hand as he drove. Only in Turkey! And its absolutely perfect - fits into the space as if made to measure! Here's a photo:
