Football is a fanatically followed sport in Turkey, hence every bar that has a telly on match days/nights gets rammed. Personally I'm with Scunner, great to be in the thick of it even when you can't understand a word of the commentary,the atmosphere is usually electric. I get the point about restaurants though. It does't make for romantic dining !!!. Got to you hand it you though, Don. Never tried reading a Kindle whilst having a meal with my missus, guess it beats talking to her. I've got to try it though, but I reckon I'd probably get a slap for ignoring her !!!
