Air Conditioning fail
I've recently come back from a week in Turkey and whilst there bumped into a lovely chap, John, and his wife Val. A retired couple but good company for a poolside beer. Having been at the hotel 4 days we were having a chat about how the holiday was going with everyone agreeing we'd found a bit of a bargain paradise. That's when John chips in with "It's just a shame about having to pay for the air conditioning, you'd have thought that would be part of the all-inclusive".

This leads to puzzled looks from me and the missus.

"I'm certain it is included?"

"No mate, I put it on on the first night here and the reading was 20 euro. Was only on for half hour but when I woke up it was showing 25 Euro".

"Does your aircon control sort of look like a mobile phone handset, mounted to the wall?"

"yeah"

"in a plastic case so you can only have it on or off, not adjust any of the other settings?"

"yeah"

"yeah mate, same as ours... that reading's 20 *degrees* not 20 Euro!"

"Oh..."

The poor sods had been sweltering for four days!
