Another beautiful day, tempted to say in paradise but it’s not quite!
Mal and I went to buy some hozelock joints for the pressure washer to clean the paths and terrace. We also paid our Multimax bill, having forgotten that we (and all subscribers) were given a weeks free internet for when the power cuts were constantly happening. Well done Multimax, one of the very few companies here that value their customers. We all also have vastly increased download speed overnight and until 10.00am for no extra!
Then, for the fifth time we went to the new Samar Express to buy our half price toilet tissue. Yes, you guessed it, they don’t have any! Great advertising campaign when they don’t carry the stock they are offering at bargain prices. They also claim to be the cheapest. So, we asked how much a 5 litre carton of Cape Elephant Rose wine was (along with many other things there was no price on it!) The ‘boss’ was there and so Mal asked the price. He was told 30.30tl. Mal told him across the road at Hur Deniz it was 24.95tl and after all, again in this weeks Star, another advert of theirs “We claim that we are the cheapest anywhere.” You can guess, Mal received the Cyprus Shrug!! I guess he doesn’t realise we will make others aware! Perhaps this guy should have words with Kemal at Multimax and he could explain what customer service is all about. We won’t be going back to Samar!!
We had a total of about three hours with Scarlet and Jack on the web cam, they are so funny. I also had a long chat with Rhys which is unusual as he is usually so busy with his business. He told me the downside of being English living in Wales with all the Welsh sports going on this weekend! He said everywhere was awash with daffodils!
