Absolutely Jacqui, just seemed a bit strange that he must have been looking out for people who have just been in Zumrut, and also recognised that we were frequent visitors!  My understanding was that the amount plastered on his board outside his "official" shop was the set amount for changing to tl.  Just another way that the "tourist" is getting ripped off! >:(

I've found the best way is draw out sterling, you will be charged 2% for a cash withdrawal, HSBC on the top road usually has £, then nip into Sekerbank next door but one and they give you a rate a few points above the change office rate. You will need to have your passport with you in the bank. Whatever you do don't change your money with this man who sits outside his shop almost opposite Migros !
