We saw the tourist police out and about a fair bit in may, restaurant and bar staff were not crossing the red brick line on the prom to approach customers either. We will miss seeing adam we would speak to him nearly every night.

Us too MarKar. Adem is such a lovely man. OH always makes a point of taking a couple of pairs of shoes for him to clean, he does such a good job of it. Such a shame  :(

Shoe shine bloke was in Fethiye covered market last week.

Old flower selling woman was in Calis last night.

Didn't see the lads wandering around with scales but never understood that one anyway    :)

The older man from the front of house of Mangals is now front of house at a restaurant up the road, opposite the taxi rank.

The kebab chef from Mangals and one of the waiters are now at a large kebab place over the road from the taxi rank.

Best chips in Calis are now officially at Frank Cannons.

It doesn't seem too quiet at all most of the time. Supposedly it has picked up during August.

Flying home tomorrow, it's been a great holiday.

Ps you can still buy flying colourful tat on the prom

Perhaps we should start a petition,we want Adem back and present it to the council. This forum has done a lot to support him in the past.

I remember the police removing a flower seller and taking his basket off him,[not Willy Thorn] we asked the waiter what
the problem was. he said no licence so they don't pay Taxes. I Dont  know weather that's the same with Adem.

We have seen the Flower Seller "Willie Thorne" Selling flowers from the back of his car on the road outside the Sunday Market.  So, possibly he does not have a licence to sell flowers.
I often wonder where he gets the flowers from, is he a flower grower?, or does he get them from a wholesaler somewhere?
One of the things I miss when in Turkey is buying flowers in the supermarkets, they just don't sell them. Perhaps Turkish people are not keen to have flowers in their houses?

You will almost always find the flower man [ willie thorn ] lookalike in the bookies just up from the taxi rank  towards the oykun hotel his car parks up along there with his flowers in the back , he was in there in june / july prior to his walkabout with his basket

Turkish people like and dislike flowers Jacqui as much as we do. But you're right they don't generally sell them in supermarkets, only florists.
