The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in 2011

[cheers]

What I don't like to see is children running around bars and restaurants crying and fighting with each other just because they are tired and need there beds while their parents are too busy enjoying themselves to take any notice of them.  For people who don't have children with them, who just want a nice enjoyable evening it is not pleasant to have their evening ruined by them.

I was also referring to the over-tired crying kids that you see being dragged about- if a child is asleep in their pushchair and content, I see no problem, parents need to relax too (if only mine would do that!! )  
I also remember being on holiday in The Gambia, I was 8 at the time (1994). My parents left me alone to sleep in the evenings (ground floor chalet, doors open wide) whilst they sat with my older brother in the hotel bar.. Times have changed but to be honest I don't think I could leave mine- even at 8.. That's just me though

I have to admit I take my two boys out late at night when on holiday. Yes, they get over tired and scream and shout, annoy other people in the bar, show off and fight. I tried the push chair thing but it made no difference whatsoever. Oh, did I mention they are 24 and 21 years old. Sods!:D

Thank you June. Not meeting is a mystery as I'm sure we were in around 10:00 (on the 17th).

The good .......  The majority of turkish people we have met in all walks of life these past twelve years

The bad  .......  Ex pats who expect prefferential treatment, discounts and concessions on prices etc all year round  .. solely because " they live there now "

The ugly ....... The dreaded karaoke bars and the `noise` they emit from people who when drunk.. think they are potential talent to appear on X factor type shows ughh

It's not that we who live here expect preferential treatment. It is because we live here that we know how much the difference in price is for the tourists and the local Turkish people. We want to pay the same as them and why not? If you speak to some of the local lokatana.s etc. They will freely admit that they have different prices for tourists,including visiting tourists from Istanbul, Izmir etc and local Turkish families. If you are happy to pay then carry on. We are not. We want fair treatment that is all.
