More like a bag, impossible to get equivalent of £200 into my slimline wallet. I'd rather they tackled inflation, but they could be doing with issuing higher value notes.

I know Techtrader. Just so annoying when an ATM spits out 100TL notes which is rather a wad when I take out 8000TL, and it's not worth much.

I didnt know but imamoglu co owns a construction company....

Which lets face it is not the most cleverest of moves if you are mayor of istanbul and wanna be president.

Its been siezed...i presume tender corruption allegations...

If his company has won tenders in istanbul its not a good look..at the least he shouldnt have put himself in that position....
