Sorry to sound like a spoil sport, but as the English wife of a Turk, I do feel a bit offended actually. As some have said, it''s just a laugh, but not from where I am sitting.

I agree with you, I''m afraid, and did ask the EK moderator to look at this thread the other day.

I''m the first person to enjoy a good laugh and I hate to think that I may be branded a spoilsport...but here we go... My Turkish friends in Kalkan follow this forum with interest, often to gauge the mood and tastes of British tourists to aim to cater to their needs, and give EK great credibilty as an honest arena for frequent visitors to Kalkan and newbies alike to air their views and express their preferences. A mention on this forum is valued by people in Kalkan, however light-heartedly we Brits may joke about things.

I''m actually feeling uncomfortable about the fact that my friends will shortly be reading this thread and will initially feel bemused....and then predictably feel (privately) hurt by the stereotyping (and I''m NOT denying that I recognise the sterotypes mentioned!!!)....and despite the fact that they will dismiss it with a simple ''it doesn''t matter''... ("There are bad people all over the world" I''ve been told before)...I am still left feeling more uncomfortable than amused. But maybe my Turkish friends will tell me to lighten up and not to take life so seriously? Hope so! :) Will find out next week! ;D

Hi Everyone,

I thought I would lock the topic as it has now run its course. I personally believe that the thread is here to add an element of humour and certainly not intended to insult people in any way.

I do hope that people have seen the humour in the light hearted nature that the posters intended although I do fully accept that the written word on many occasions can be lost in translation.

Now did I tell you the one about the Englishman, Irishman and Scotchman...............  :D
