A women´s magazine based in the United Kingdom has asked its readers who are going to vacation in Turkey to sign a pledge, aimed at warning them of the “dangers of gigolos” in Turkey´s tourist spots.
“Take a break”, based in London, the world´s third largest women´s magazine in sales with a circulation of approximately 1 million selling domestically and abroad, has astounded its readers with a pledge they published. The magazine published a pledge that warns women, middle-aged or older who are going to take a vacation in Turkey about not getting conned by young Turkish men. The pledge, supposedly signed by thousands of women, is composed of eight clauses with interesting statements such as, "I won´t pay for grandmother´s leaking roof or uncle´s new kebab shop in Yorkshire."

What about all those poor dudu´s now? Will they be unemployed in very near future now the press is warning innocent British tourists for them? Will they get a social security check to cover the costs of a cell phone, laptop or ´grandma´s leaking roof´....?

I am sure they think they are in love and they all have their own reasons for these feelings. Take a Break is full of stories that go wrong and not so full of those that go well. I myself have met a woman whose sister featured in a Take a Break article as somebody "wronged" by a Turkish man. The girl I met was actually going out with his brother!!???!! And was going to get married in the next month??!!
Anyway, judge not or you can be judged.
BTW love the crosswords in Take a Break!!

Ive learnt in my travels not to judge a book by its cover but Im sure there is a bit of cynicism in each and everyone of us
My close friend is currently living in Turkey with her boyfriend so I know that not everything you read or hear is true.

You won´t find much cynicism in TC favart and if "Take a Break" is a top selling womens magazine in the UK then most of its stories must be true.

"Promise to give the aforementioned male my worldly goods, my life savings and credit cards, my home, regular income, child benefits/pension, while at his request, severing all links with my family, friends and past, in the belief I will henceforth live happily in a remote mountain village acting as servant/slave to his extended family and tending goats from dawn to dusk and sleeping on the bare ground. "
doesn´t say anything about mobiles or laptops so i think they are safe
we lovingly call "take a break"......take a knife and slit your wrists.....it´s sooo depressing

I´m seriously doubting in sanity and mental condition of women who actually DO THIS.
I´m head over heals for my Turk But I´d NEVER do that! Nor would he ask, but we didn´t meet on my vaction in Turkey, maybe that´s why he´s... just a normal guy
