I need a favour if so, I want to take a soda stream out to Calis, due to none being available to buy out there, my only problem is we can't take the gas cylinder on the airplane; I have searched to see if we can purchase some out there and again drawn a blank, so if anyone is kind enough to transport a canister out there for us I would be so grateful. (Of course if anyone knows where I can get a supply of slimline tonic out there I won't need the soda stream)  :)

I was buying Schweppes Tonic in the large size, from the supermarket adjacent to the taxi rank near the main traffic lights in Calis, when we were out last year !!

Just had a look on-line, & they are available in Turkey, you have to ask for " Soda Makinesi", not certain if they actually available in the  Fethiye store, but Migros do list them on-line.
Enjoy your G&T.   ;)

There is no Schweppes Slimline Tonic in Turkey.  They don't do slimline.  i have been asking and looking for it for 9 years now.

There's your answer Shamless, the Oracle has spoken, so it must be right !!  :oI would still ask for slimline though, if they can source normal, they must be able to get the other. ( Don't bother what Jacqui says, she doesn't know everything, thinks she does, but................ !!   :-\

Have never seen any slimline mixers here.  However, tasted Zero Coke (no sugar) recently and was pleasantly surprised, didn't have that horrid saccharine taste.

We have asked for nine years now and have been told lots of time, they don't have slimline tonic. I have even asked a restaurant owner, who has been in business for 30 years and he tells me it's not available with any of his suppliers, in fact, he had never heard of it.    We have also tried all the supermarkets.  I know it's difficult for the grumpy old men on here to understand that a woman might be right.  However, i always have slimline tonic in the U.K. and if i could get it in Turkey I would.
Sorry if I threatened your masculinity boys.
If anyone finds Slimline in the area before the last week in May.   i will donate £10.00 to the 3C's as long as our two big mouth boys will do the same.  :o :P :-*  Put up or shut up.   ;)
