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´....?

OFFFFF!!  We have been telling women this for YEARS! 

Oh well....at least we can say we were right!  Thank God the rest of the world is finally catching up to TC!

 I wonder how many of the ´translation-women´ here have signed that pledge....

Im going to take a stab and say not many! 

 how cruel and cynical are you! I would guess 99% of the women with love messages are totally in love!!

 And ´loosing your heart´ means instantly disfunctioning of the brain?

 ´Take a Break´ - the magazine world´s answer to The Jerry Springer Show  - 3rd largest distribution in the WORLD???  My God the mind boggles

By no means did I intend to be cruel .. just my opinion. Im sure they are in love I only hope its returned and good luck to all the "true" romances out there.

 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.
