I like to have some banter with the rest of 'em. Fending off the vendors in Istanbul's famous Grand Bazaar is an art, especially when you are resolute to be polite and respectful (learning indigenous swear words is a real time-saver, but not very me). The Turks we met were amazingly good humoured, and whilst they were keen sellers to say the least, if they couldn't secure a sell, they would be satisfied simply to 'spar' with you in the form of some witticism or another. The Turkish people have been incredibly hospitable and friendly without exception. Some bear a passing resemblance to Graham Souness.
