Yes we are back but Jacqui Harvey isn't coming back so we'll have to muddle on without her.

Keep things nice and helpful folks but if you want to debate like an adult, we won't stop you...

So glad you decided to continue.  Although I left Turkey for North Cyprus a few years ago it is still good to hear what is happening in the old place.

So pleased you are back!   :)
Been here in Calis last two weeks so had my daily fix 'live'.
We still love this place and will continue to come back. We've got so much information from this forum to help us get the best out of our holidays and hopefully pass a bit onto others too.
Got another week here before going home,  :(
Just about to have a stroll on the prom in the morning sunshine and get the water taxi to Fethye.
See y'all later  8) ;D

Not sure if this is the correct place for this ? But still not able to post/reply in all sections,  just tried to reply to the trying from seed post in gardening section & only have option to notify ?

A few sunsets of mine recently taken.

So pleased this great forum is back, for many years it has been the daily fix for myself and many many others,
it always give a huge input to the area that people first found on their holiday travels and become to love for many years past and the years to come,
thanks to all who keep this CBF forum alive

Really pleased CBF is up and running again. It has been an important and familiar  part of our lives for many years now. But it has been a short sharp lesson learnt for everyone that it is important to post and share views and information  on the forum rather than just turning to FB and the mindless ramblings of many. Personally, although I am a FB member,  I am not that keen on FB and much prefer to visit CBF for anything I want to know about  Calis/Fethiye.

Glad to see you back! I'm another of the 'don't post often but read everyday' gang.

We are not (yet!) residents and only spend around a month at our place in total over the year so certainly don't feel qualified enough to be giving wads of advice on everyday life in Calis but, have certainly learned plenty from you lot ready for when we do buy those one-way tickets!!

TURKEY: MONEY MARKETS REACT TO CBF RETURN

The relaunch of CBF has been greeted by a slump of share prices
on the Istanbul Borsa and the lira falling by 1% against the pound.


Of course some people might try to argue that this is mere coincidence, but .........

Fran, was your sunset taken in front of the Sunset apartments on the prom, next to the Letoon? If so I'm looking at that red thing right now! Nearly every morning an old Turkish (I think) man goes down to the beach and has a swim and a lie down in the sun after and he always goes to this pile! I have no idea what's in the pile, whether it's spare clothes or towel or not but it's his and nobody else goes near it.   :)

I am unfortunately another of the read more post less and I think we all have to take our fair share of the blame for the reduced postings on CBF, so glad to see we are continuing though and I will ensure I become more active instead of just reading as without this forum there will be a huge void to fill, many thanks Scunner for keeping forum going and I will get to see you at Caretta one year

Great news that you have decided to carry on. Just returned last week from a week in the hot October sun and as always loved every minute.
Tend to read more than post but I am going to make a conscious effort to post more.
Best restaurant last week for me was Cafe Soul - enjoyed 2 great meals there.
Keep up the excellent work.

It's fine having a laugh at JH's expense, but let's give her some credit - when she goes, she just goes.  She doesn't make a grand exit and wait to come back due to popular demand.

Her and I dont particularly like each other, but at least she's no drama queen when it comes to an exit. 

Just saying like...

   I think it would be far better if members who need to carry out vendetta's against other members did so using the

   PM or Email facility. This would allow everyone else to enjoy the Forum, and help each other. Two kind, helpful and very generous

   members are being vilified and I for one am disgusted.

If, as is perfectly clear, that was directed at myself please explain why you didn't address it to me directly.

Post by: Colwyn on October 25, 2017, 14:22:30 PM
Hi H.
I read this post a couple if times a little while ago dithering between thinking JohnF was being remarkably pleasant about a difficult member and thinking that JohnF was hinting at something below the surface (which doesn't sound much like him since he is usually outright rude). It didn't cross my mind, not even for an instant, that it was directed against you even though you say it was "perfectly clear". Perhaps I'm simply dense? Or perhaps this could be sorted via PM?
From Colwyn - a friend to both Johns (I hope).


P.S This "just saying" bit really gets on my bloody nerves. Just saying like.

If I want to "direct" a post at someone, I do.

The thrust of my post is that JH is no longer here to defend (or argue) her position and she left without any fuss unlike a good few over the years.  She's moved on and maybe we should to.

Colwyn, I wasn't being pleasant, just making an observation - and I will try not to use any KKOBisms again.

Just returned after 3 weeks away. Delighted and relieved that you are up and running again.

I'll be back in Fethiye May and September next year and hope for a daily dose of CBF until - and way beyond - those dates.

Thank you for continuing the forum Keith. It means (obviously so from the responses) so much to so many, even those who rarely post.
