Koray Atak charges 30TL to translate the certificates and then he took it to the notary for us and they charged 60TL.

How impossible is it to deal with an Englishman (Briton) abroad. To me, the irony of this story is that British expats are now attempting to stage <cack handed> protests about having to pay for something in a foreign country that welcomed them to set up home. BUT...the debate actually started because British people were finding it frustrating because it appeared they felt they were being EXCLUDED from joining!!!

You can please some of the people some of the time but many of the British expats in Calis NEVER   God help anyone who has moved to a foreign land where a £20 a week change in local costs can't be absorbed into the budget of life and causes you to "threaten" to leave and take your money with you!!! If you can't pay £20 a week how do you seriously propose to pay the £8,000 or more it will cost - when your age increases and health fades??? To scoop the cancer out of your insides or to fix your broken legs when that mad driver leaves the road and smashes into you

That is one scary place to be - I'd be more worried about living like that than any healthcare petition protest. There are my honest feelings on the matter and if you don't like them - TOUGH!

The more you send to our Dave the better, thought he was having too much of a busy time in the UK trying to get a top put on these benefit claims of £26,000 being handed out, but no doubt he will drop everything and fly over to Turkey and of course

Scunner completely agree with you on your post, but must say I have never laughed so much for a long time, never heard anything like this before.

Would have been better to address the fax to William Hague he is the one who runs the Foreign Office, but then again he is busy sorting out the people who have got council houses and renting them out while they are living aboard.

If I were to protest, my main beef would be the lack of organisation and proper notice.  I would also like to know what wording would be on this petition.

Oh, one final thought (for now) - If you can't afford that £8,000 in the event of a major health scare, you really shouldn't be living there. If you can afford £8,000 in the event of a major health scare, the interest on that will cover four fifths of what this will cost you each year. That's everyone sorted? Good.

Well no arguments there from me. As with the 90 - 90/180 - 90 - 90/180 visitor visa episode, it is difficult to see how this could have been handled worse.

This message is doing the round via emails: -
IMPORTANT:
There will be a meeting and petition signing at Cafe Soul on Wed and Fri of this week, the signed petition will be taken to the Mayor of Fethiye, it will voice our concerns and complaints against the new health insurance, bring your friends Turkish or English, the more the better, lets try to make our voices heard for a change.

Please don't forget your t-shirts and banners they will really know you mean business then, get in touch with The Sun newspaper and tell them how you are being treated in Turkey and ask them to send a journalist over, better still contact Skynews to come over as well, while your at it cancel your bank accounts and sell your houses just to let them know you really mean business and tell them if they go ahead with this scheme you will all be leaving.

Don't shoot the messenger, I was asked to post this for information for those who are interested, apparently the Cafe in in Calis along the front, and everyone is entitled to their opinions!
