Title: Unfortunate Names
Post by: KKOB on November 21, 2009, 13:22:37 PM: Whilst having a wander around Antalya yesterday I noticed an advertising sign for a doctor. On the first floor balcony on the left of the pink apartment block is a sign proclaiming that this is where you can have a consultation with

Doktor Mustapha Kunt - Ortopedi ve Travmotoloji Uzmani

(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t301/KayaKoyuWalker/Forum%20Images/Image001.jpg)

If you doubt me, Google the name.

Anyone else got any that they've seen themselves? Not copied and pasted from the www.
