The Doric (Aberdeenshire language) translation.

Do the binmen chase the seagulls.

Scaffy...Binman.    Scurry... Seagull.

The dernek is the hotels, bars & restaurants association. They have had the contract to run the beach since last year

Ah, excellent. Seems they are doing a great job. (Hope they are working in tandem with the turtle group).

And perhaps they ought to lobby the Sensatori and tell em to keep their sh*t to themselves.

Yes, but Thomson's are in denial and think there is no sh@t in the water... Read the other posts about pollution.

One reason for decline in Turkish Tourism... See details of our flights to Dalaman..


ABZ-DLM   Adult x2   £207.98
DLM-ABZ   Adult x2   £429.98
Fare Total   £637.96
Extras   (total)
20kg Luggage Allowance   x4   £96.00
Credit Card Fee   x1   £14.68
Extras Total   £110.68
Payments
MastercardEnding £748.64
Total   £748.64
Payment(s) processed by Thomas Cook Retail Ltd as the agent for thomascookairlines.com.

I would add this is just flights.  T.Cook are sub-contracting to Sun Express (who??)  So we cannot pick our seats, find out if there is food on the flight or check-in online.  This basically means turning up at the Airport about 4 hours before the flight and joining a queue for about 1 hour, just so we can get seats together.

Exclusive Escapes have gone bust. Sad as a very good small operator.
