So you like living/spending time in Turkey but only want British neighbours?

Perhaps you should consider selling up and buying in the UK.

Menthol - I'll give you an example of why I'd prefer to have British neighbours.

When my granddaughter arrived a few weeks ago for a holiday in my place she discovered an extension cable running from the upstairs duplex down on to my terrace and plugged in to my outside socket. When she went to Olu Deniz for a day out she returned to find twelve people sitting on my terrace using my dining table and chairs to have their evening meal. There were so many of them that they had extended the table so that they could all get around it.

At least if my neighbour had been British they would have understood "What the F'ing Hell do you think you are doing? >:(

I'm not getting into an arguement with you about the rights and wrongs of my appeal but it's my appeal and I'm entitled to it.

I am not saying all Turkish neighbours are the same, but a few years ago we went to Istanbul for 5 days.  We had been staying at our place in Calis and just took the plane up to Istanbul during our stay.  When we returned we noticed our BBQ was missing from our veranda.   After a while we noticed it in the neighbour's garden. They had been in our garden taken the BBQ and used it.  We went over and took it back.  It had been lying for a while and was filthy.   We took ages to get it cleaned.   We then were told by the Maintenance Company that the neighbours were  sending their children and the children's friends into our garden to use our pool when we were not there.
They had made a hole in the hedge so they could get though.  After this we put up a fence around the garden.
We have many lovely Turkish friends but, it would seem sometimes Turkish neighbours may not be the best.

My son's neighbour sneaked into the garden and "borrowed" his parasol the other night.  The neighbours were having a BBQ and it must have rained.  They returned it the next day by sliding it under the gate - complete with rips.   There are hard-faced sods everywhere! >:(

I've known the extension lead/outside socket a number of times, sadly. They never seem to do it to other Turks in my experience. Possibly a result of the "You are British, you can afford it" mentality.

We had fantastic neighbours - nearly all Turkish in the street and those we backed on to. Dare I suggest it...things were better in the good old days  ;)
