Quoting aenigma x: Quoting libralady: I also used sterling, and I asked for the calculator and worked out my exchange rate at the best one I had seen in the town! Which incidentally was better than the one I had got in the UK. |
Aha! Canny lady 
However, I do like to use local currency wherever I travel. It seems a bit arrogant to expect everyone to accept sterling, dollars or euros.
European visitors to the UK are the same. They find it strange that its hard to use Euros, but ITS NOT OUR CURRENCY!  |
I used sterling to pay for my paragliding because they asked for it, not because I wanted to!!!!! Like that, they can exchange it whenever the rate is good. I use YTL the rest of the time - but I can guarantee that they LOVE sterling in the resorts!!!!!!

Nationalism when it suits you? But....not when it gets in the way of a good profit?

I think it is more a case of materialism! or lets see if we can escape from paying so much tax, by getting as much sterling cash as we can...........
When you offer to pay in YTL and they say, have you got sterling? Who am I to reason why? I just wanted to goparagliding

I remember the first time we went to Turkey in 1988 £1 sterling was worth just over 2000 old lira the next year 4000 and so on until it reached 3 million a few years ago. Since then it has been fairly stable.

I agree, I always use the currency of the country - but on this occasion I was ASKED for sterling! Not my fault or a lack of respect on my part!!!!
