Gypsy lady who died was called Yildiz and worked around Fethiye. Don't think she ever worked in Calis. Older lady, you might have seen her in the fish market or around Paspatur though.

I remember her. I think her and I had a clash of personalities. Probably her fault though.  ;)

I can remember the Flower Man from around the summer of 2003. That's if it's the same fella of course. Anyone got a photo of him ?

No picture but he looks like Willie Thorne.   :)

Lissa, Thanks for that.  I will expect to see the Calis gypsy lady again when we are over.   ;D

Back on Track......
Someone else who has been around a long time seems to be the flower man.  However, I think maybe he is getting  a bit old to carry that basket of flowers. He now has a pitch on the road that goes up to Scarletts.   His flowers have always been 10TL a bunch, great value, I can fill two vases wit them.  We often wonder will he ever increase the price, particularly with the Lira soaring up  over the last couple of years.   

Price just went up last week now 15TL....

We fell out some time round about 2004, and it was definitely her fault.

Which flower lady in Pasoatur? The one who always collared us was quite a plump very friendly woman who seemed to be an in charge.

Yeah, could be. Except he wasn't bald on top. Didn't have dark hair. Didn't have a moustache. Didn't wear a blue jacket. Didn't wear a grey shirt. Apart from that, a dead ringer.  :)

Well KKOB, the one that's being talked about is exactly like this picture. You must be thinking of someone else
