Through a mutual friend, I received a communication from a gentleman called Talip, who is apparently the owner of the relatively new Cadde Cafe, Bar and Ocakbasi near Fethiye harbour.
I found his email bursting with joie de vivre and uplifting sentiment. This is quite rare, I normally read stacks of PMs and emails from people saying how unfair a review was or how they didn't find someone's comment funny at all. Almost uniquely too - Talip explained that he had a good understanding of how CBF (a forum he reads and enjoys) works - and only went on to explain to me the procedure for new members and advertising - and get it right!
So the main points are that Talip would love to share details of his restaurant with you all, but is super cautious of doing it wrong or receiving negativity for doing it. But he also wants to give CBF members a 10% discount just for mentioning that Scunner sent you
This is exactly how I think things should be done - don't turn up and paste 59 paragraphs and run away - contact us, tell us you don't want to make a mistake and trust me we shall move mountains to steer you through and spread your word. A CBF discount is the icing on the kek.
So ladies and gentlemen, can I introduce the charming Talip, owner of Cadde cafe bar and Ocakbasi, it's near the harbour apparently. Talip also suggested what we could write for the forum if we thought it was ok to write anything at all - with instructions to edit as required. But I like it as written, and here it is:
Hello Çalış Beach Forum Members! Cadde Cafe would like to make you aware of a new and unique concept in food serving right around the corner from Fethiye's Marina. Since mere words might not do it justice we invite you to check us out first hand. We will thank you by taking 10% off of the total bill just for mentioning Calis Beach Forum and telling our dedicated staff that Talip ( the owner ) or Scunner sent you. Come one, come all! We have 4 floors, each with its unique menu and character!
*This offer is effective immediately, and we reserve the right to discontinue it at any point in the future, by posting a notice to that effect in the Calis Beach Forum.
Cadde Cafe serves ''probably the best food for 50 miles.''
Regards,
TalipAll the best to you Talip, I like you already
