The long wait in Dalaman Airport on arrival.
Mangal giving changed hands and staff changed. Thankfully I understand that the “head” waiter has opened a place and that the tiny girl who used to scurry about is now working 5 days a week at the hospital
Hotel room doors that do not have door closers and can only be slammed closed with such force that it could probably be heard at the Pelin.
Meeting some CBFers we hadn’t met before and also spending some time with anne and billy with badger and Irene, stoop and his family, usebustickets, diver baz 1 and lady diver and Pi55y and captainsquiffy.
Rubbish strewn only 100 metres from Main Street. Just awful.
Impossible numbers of people on the Dolmus.
Handing over certificates on behalf of CBF members. The delight of both recipients was clear to see.
I was also please to deliver the CBF badges to the Charity Shop. It gave me the opportunity to again meet some of the wonderful people who work there.
Shaking hands with Jerry (Jerry Boat) although I am not sure that relations have been fully restored
Microlight pilot doing a Top Gun type "fly by" over the beach just as the sun had set – muppet.
Seeing three people sat at a table for lunch not talking to each other – 2 on iphones and one on a ipad. In fact I found it quite strange to see people sitting on the prom wall using ipads as phones.
Being treated to a lovely bottle of wine by scunner.
A couple using two parasols when it was clearly one per two sun loungers.
Hearing a startling bit of Calis gossip.
Getting back to our room to find "40" spelt on with the towels.
VOJO’s.
Seeing so many tattoos on men and woman.
Being able to share in a local friends pride in his young sons fantastic educational achievement.
Disappointed that some places appear to be firmly resting on their laurels rather than improving their premises and/or more importantly their product. Not so Scarlett who have once again spent money on their premises
Knowing that I am over weight but have a long way to go to catch up lots of people.
Dolmus driver being address as “Hello – we need to get off” by a British tourist.
Not being able to find a restaurant which had a knife that was fit for purpose
Listening to people in the pool talking about the Forum.
Rod Stewart in Cinar Cafe Bar – poor man had problems with the equipment (musical) which didn’t help at the start. But he gave quite a few people and enjoyable evening and that can only be applauded.
Seeing people with sunglasses perched on their heads after sunset.
The large number of luxury cars in both Calis and Fethiye.
Temperatures – I will never again doubt temperatures quoted by members.
PS I may bore you further with even more
