Overheard on holiday

[Highlander]

Some of the things I overhear in Turkey never ceases to amaze me. Here are a few from our latest visit.

Man asks Erhan (?) in Eyna if he should click his fingers to attract a waiter in Turkey. “No” was the polite reply "you should whistle !". A brilliant response that went straight over this muppet's head.

Man at Letoon who broke a glass right next to steps into Pool and shouted to staff “Sorry my brother”. It's a rough guess but I don't think you two are related.

Restaurant Menu states Casseroles: Beef, lamb, chicken…..woman calls waiter over and asks “is it’s possible to just have one because I don’t think I could manage all three”.

“They tasted very good” the waiters response when someone asked where the missing ducks at the Guitar Bar were.

When I queried why Thomas Cook airlines decanted rows 11 – 35 first at Glasgow, I was told by the stewardess "it's all to do with weight distribution - if they decanted rows 1 to 10 first the plane would trip forward." Aye right !!!!!

I guess you were on my flight to Glasgow..unless they tell these lines all the time!I was in row 2
back to Glasgow on June 24.

I am still trying to pluck up enough courage to challenge a Thomas Cook Steward to sit in my seat and adopt the brace position ! !

If you meant "board/disembark" (as opposed to decanted) then that sounds more like a classic example of cabin crew humour...

T.C. Flight back to the U.K.   Whilst the two rows we were  in shivered because the doors had terrible draughts.  One guy asked for a blanket. The Stewardess said,  "Sorry we don't carry blankets on short haul flights"   However, we remember the same draughts 10 years ago, when blankets were given out.  Not long after that T.C. were charging £4.50 for a blanket, obviously, no profit  n that.  The Staff do not know some of us have suffered T.C. for many years.

Yep, and TC only have paper napkins on their meal trays.

I bet you really have to grit yer teeth when yer travelling with the plebs.

Bit puzzled about the draughts. I'm presuming that these occurred when the aircraft was on the ground.

Scorcher, have you never sat by an exit door on a flight?  I have, and you definitely get a draft!  Sometimes it is really bad and gets pretty cold!

It is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE for ANY door in a pressurised aircraft passenger cabin to have leaking door seals, which are what cause draughts around a door .If such a leak existed , it would be impossible to pressurise the passenger cabin, therefore rendering the aircraft unserviceable !!
