Taking food in your cases ?

[Scunner]

I am really at a loss to understand why people come on holiday for a couple of weeks and need to bring food with them.

I would say a significant percentage of bacon, sausages etc coming in through Dalaman in suitcases is brought for the restaurants, so they can supply their full English breakfasts.

Yes agree Mr Scunner. Also most of the tea bags (Tetley etc) end up there too.

jacqui each to their own, what they want to put in their suitcases .
we like a lot of barbies when we are on holiday ,so we bring over the best sausages,that are handmade by my local butcher. etc etc

I personally cant see any reason why anyone needs to bring much into Turkey by way of clothes and shoes,  about half of the everyday clothing in the UK shops say Made in Turkey on the label. Unless you have to bring your designer wardrobe along, you might as well support the Turkish economy and buy it there. In many cases its much cheaper, unless you shop in Primark!!

Don't kid yourself echogirl. It is cheaper to buy your holiday clothes in asda or matelan. Also if a lady is larger than average (I like to say voluptuous  ) it is hard to get anything to fit.
The markets now charge ridiculous prices for T shirts that are knackered after one wash, and linen trousers fall apart after a few wears.

We've found that lately, in many cases, it's far more expensive to buy 'everyday clothing' in Turkey than in the UK. Even the stuff with "Made In Turkey" labels.

[Scunner]

Yes, we agree with mary62 and KKOB - prices cheaper and quality often much higher. Some Tesco/Asda George stuff is excellent, and much of the Turkish market clothing is expensive and come with a one night neck

Cheap clothes in Turkey? Blimey, that's a blast from the past. Must stop flying Easyjet and book up with Tardis.

I get your drift, Echogirl, & see where you're coming from, well said.
