ABOUT ME

My name is Grant StClair-Armstrong, 59 and I moved to Turkey on October 9th 2005.  I had a small limited company in the UK, which specialised in sourcing and marketing environmentally friendly or 'green' products,  Today, I wish I had had the foresight to work for at least another 5 years but I guess we are all wiser after the event.  I had managed to get some of my products over the channel and would probably have been doing very well now and better placed for early retirement
and just maybe, I would not have suffered many of the injustices I have or met many of the British tossers so prevalent when one moves abroad.  Visit  www.perikoyvilla.com  to read more about life here in Turkey.

I do currently have a 1 bedroom, furnished apartment for sale, only 250 metres from the beach in Side.  It's a snip at 75,000 lira or £30K and you can find some pics on www.perikoyvilla.com on the property sales page.  Another great site to visit is : http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/side-forum/  You can read about the crap that falls on Europeans on a daily basis, along with the occasional happy stuff.

Due to personal circumstances, Perikoy Villa is also for sale at 145k euros (negotiable), along with our Opel Omega 2.2litre Turbo Diesel Injection Estate.  It is a nice piece of kit and a bargain at 10,000 lira.  We can only sell to a retired or legally working European.

If, after reading the 'mouthing off' page, you ask yourself what the hell is Grant still doing there, it's simple!  Buy our villa, our car and my apartment and I'll be away from this place so quickly, my arse will catch fire and then I'll weep for those left behind in 2 or 3 years from now.
