I doubt we'd be importing enough to be of interest to the Embassy! But it's
just possible the Turkish manufacturers have an outlet here if I can find
out who they are.


Embassies are often very helpful. I think they get bored with the
admin work so a slightly obscure request breaks through the tedium. I
once asked someone in an African embassy if they could locate a fish
collector. This was in the days before African fishes and collecting
trips were big business. The embassy supplied the information by post
a few weeks later with a photograph of the man at the collection
station. Then I got a letter from the man in Africa with more photos.

Well, if I can't get an answer from the hotel, it's certainly a thought.
Thanks, Steve.
