must admit sometimes I think the most useful tool to take to Turkey would be a psychology course lol

 :)could'nt agree more, they dont have lateral thinking in Turkey.

No, I think the cunning plan was to offer to do it for nothing, knowing full well nobody would make two guys work a whole week or so for nothing.

If we could adopt a "one price, one chance" approach, things may be better for all involved. Don't chance your arm, give a price you are happy with and don't think there will be any opportunity to requote.

Won't happen though will it

That sure would make life soooooooo much easier, if enough of us start it then they might get the idea.
First though I think it would cause a lot of bad feeling.
The current situation drives me up the wall, knowing the Turkish wage rates just gets met with 'ah but this is Calis/Fethiye/Dalyan wherever. The whole 'negotiating" process is just so exhausting.
