Re: Home truths
I found that I missed things that I never bothered with in the UK. I think it what I call the "cupboard syndrome". We all had stand-bys in our cupboards back there and once I get them here I don't crave anymore.
I went mad for peanut butter and Red leicester cheese but now it is there I don't eat it.
And if anyone in Fethiye wants Marmite just e mail me I have enough for a third world country.

Re: Home truths

Well they do sell the packets of mini eggs and not shown on there is the 1kg boxes of Cadburys miniatures.
In and around Fethiye, you are bound to see the Kent delivery van (red coloured transit with the Kent logo emblazened on the fron t and sides) visiting small shops. Approach the driver and explain you want to buy some cartons direct from him and not through a shop - they will more than happily let you browse their on-board stocks and for any sale raise a cash invoice.
Merv!
