Old habits die hard for us Brits in Turkey. We left the frustration, crime and expense of the UK behind us forever, to embrace a whole new way of life and culture in a new country.

So why can none of us buy eggs from the sunday market unless we get 6 or 12

Some of the egg men hardly speak a word of English but they all know "DOZEN"

:DAnd why did everything used to be cheaper than asda, now they say cheaper than Oxfam.

Because Asda is cheaper than Calis Market now

:)Probably is, Asda were advertising mens suits that are comung in for £15, they expect to sell out in 6 days, when asked how they could do them that cheap, they said that they bought the material by the mile, and what about Primark, nobody will want to buy clothes in Turkey anymore,

It'll soon be 'Cheaper than Harrods'

So Asda's the place for all men who are a mile long then

I remember looking for eggs in Migros a couple of years ago (not knowing they were out of stock). At that time i did'nt know the word yamurta. You try asking a turk where the eggs are using your body language only.

Where on earth is the market for a crappy suit worth only £15? The Daily Mirror has the answer already:

"Robert McLauchlan splashed out on a new suit to go to court in yesterday - a £15 special from Asda"
