Title: Shoe Shine, Flowers and Music in the Fish Market
Post by: Robw on August 01, 2011, 23:03:05 PM
I always feel like i am about to get ripped off by these people so generally ignore them but having read that they seem to be OK in the Fethiye area whats the going rate?

We have known Hagi around 18 years friendly guy never been ripped off by him.  Adem is a lovely guy too.  Never been ripped off by him either.  I did'nt know Adem had twins.  Do you know how old they are and what sex they are.  Would like to take a little something for them.

Adem twins are quite young and both boys - he was out and about with them in Calis the other night - a very proud Dad.

Adem showed us a picture on his phone of the twins, he was so proud.  Five lira seems to be the going rate for a shoe shine.
If you want to buy a bunch of flowers get one from the bald man with a moustache who comes around the restaurants in Calis.
I always buy flowers from him.  Any bunch in his basket is ten lira and there is always enough flowers to fill two vases in our place.  If you put a little bit of bleach in the water they will last longer and the water will not stagnate.
I must stay I always look forward to buying my Calis flowers as they are such a bargain compared to flowers in the U.K.

They are methods of feeding the flowers they don't stop the water going stagnent.  Most florists will add a little bleach to water to keep it clear and it Turkey the water stagnates very quickly.

While we were in Calis in July, we saw a wedding couple arrive outside B52. They got out of the car and started a stately parade towards the remer where they were having a reception.
Th flower seller(Think it was the bald guy) nipped over to the bride and presented her with a flower. How nice we thought. The flower seller waited expectantly for payment.The groom had no money. Somebody nearby by paid him. dont think he was part of the wedding party.

Don't quite know why you would feel that you were doing to get ripped off Rob.

Simplest solution is to ask the price first.

It's hard to believe Adem now has twins as we seem to remember meeting him first as just a small boy. He does work exceptionally hard for his family and is such a lovely man - he deserves to do well.

Hagi - lovely man. Good for odd jobs etc. over winter too!
Adem and his kids are lovely too. I always end up giving them more than the going rate.

Aww Nichola thats a lovely picture of Hagi,ironically he has never cleanned any shoes of ours as he is always usually in fethiye....Stuart makes a point of wearing his trainers so that Adem can clean them and they look like new when he gets them back....he is brill...

H that is a lovely lovely picture of Adem he is such a delightful guy....he is so proud of his twins.

Spoke to adem last week, twins are just over 3 months old, my wife had taken across some outfits for thr twins and guess what, she had it in her head that the twins were girls, WRONG, you should have seen Adems face when she gave him the pink gift bags, it was a picture, so looks like more coming across in Sept, the girl outfits we gave to Joseph of Josephs bar and he said he knew some of his neighbours with new born girls, never laughed so much for years, the whole bar was in an uproar, and never seen a redder face even with sunburn.
