Unbelievable charge

I think we are turning this slightly off topic to "Stories about foreign toilets". I do hope so

When we were in Bulgaria in 2002, beer was 40p a pint and using the toilet (in the same bar) was 50p. It is the only country I've been where letting it out was more expensive than putting it in.

Bloody hell Colwyn - don't give them ideas

I can understand if it was to the people coming off the beach to use his facilities and not purchasing any food or drinks, there is  a toliet in Fetiyhe I have used and paid a lira for the priviledge but it is a public toilet so fair do's, but most certainly would not expect to pay at an establishment I was handing over good money at. It is not about 1 lira it is about the principle here to me

[Old Daffodil]

A restaurant or bar serving food and drink must by European law provide free toilets for their customers, maybe not in Turkey though.

[Scunner]

That is actually not correct. They must provide facilities for staff, but not necessarily for customers.

I think that there is a side of this that has not been discussed ..... be back in a minute, I have to spend a penny, possibly more ..... gotta go ...........

Basic Stoop Humanity Rules state that:

If you sell booze you should provide loos.

If you don't - then come do drink I won't!

[Old Daffodil]

I think the law is related to opening hours.If a restaurant or bar is open after 11.00pm they are obliged to have toilet facilities for the customers as well as the staff, but again that is probably not the law in Turkey.

[tribalelder]

But does it state they have to be free?

We were going to stop at Mimoza for lunch the other day but their pides were expensive, so then we asked Seril if they could swap the ayran for cay in their doner meal deal, they refused, so had delicious pancakes and cay opposite Seril instead.
If places get greedy with their charges there's plenty of other places to choose. More people need to vote with their feet.
Thanks for the warning, and you tell em Barb

If you enjoy Turkish pancakes the wee pancake place on the corner of Seril gets our votes all the time

Local family ex Mimosa last year - (they disposed of him this year)

Cheap, pleasant, family run, sunshades, toilets free, warming and GENUINLY pleased to see you
