Hi Cem
Do not no if it is of any help to you personally but here in the UK the holiday companies are really pushing holidays in Turkey. I think it is to avoid the euro zone, so maybe there are less tourists, but maybe more heading your way.

All tourists welcome..

However , the tourism revenues take a small portion in total.. and another problem is those touristic hotel owners have a bad habbit of not paying any tax.. dont ask me how..


funny it may seem , I , as a govt worker pay more tax than most of big shops in expensive commercial zones

Best of luck, I have been through 8 rounds of redundancies plus site closures in the last 7 years.

I assume 'scotch' will now be made in China or eastern europe then?

Difficult enough trying to do a days work without this hanging over your head Fra, keeping the fingers crossed for you

You would think.
However, Scotch can only be referred as such if it is made in Scotland, anything else is just whisk(e)y.

JW was originally made in Kilmarnock in 1820. It has been made there since then.

End of a legacy then!

Oh well, we wouldn't want to stand in the way of (money grabbing shareholders) progress.

Would we?

This is not progress..means only selfish money makers more profit..

everything has an origin..if you try that in another place it will be just a "copy"..
