Interesting point that Crabbit.
On research I found this interesting info.

As of January 1st 2007 the minimum wage in Turkey is €302.61 per month;

Works out at about £240per month-or £60per week.
Not a lot but then I dont know what what the Turkish living expences are to be truthful.I'm sure someone on here does though.

Turkish students have a discounted rate but I doubt it would apply to visitor children. :)

Carrefours near the new Otogar are offering 'normal' bread for 62 kurus, which, if I'm not mistaken, is 17 kurus more than the official government advised cost of 45 kurus. Mind you, it does have it's own little paper bag!! :P

Don't know what bread has to do with the price of a dolmus ;), but... Bread went up again last week "official" price is now 65 kurus for a small loaf, however a small loaf is now 300grm and not 250grm as before.
What surprises me is, that as this is the third rise in about a year, why aren't there riots in the street[?]

So that is about 25p for a loaf.........how much do you now pay in the UK? :)

More, but that was not my point ;)
As bread is a staple, and the price is controlled by the state. An increase from 25 kurus to 65 kurus in the space of just over a year (for an albeit slightly larger loaf) is a hell of a jump.
Turks eat a LOT of bread so I was surprised there has not been more of a reaction from the people.

Out of curiosity I just wanted to know how much a loaf was in the UK now :) I was not making a point. :)

i think prices in general are going up everywhere,it's a shame we don't get a payrise to compensate.you just get charged more and more all the time.

We pay between £1.10 and £1.30 for a loaf here in the Midlands thats if you buy a decent one and not the cheap grey stuff that goes off in 24hrs.  Cost of living is going up everywhere but have to say if I had the choice I would still be in Turkey and not the UK roll on retirement or a lottery win.
