reminds me of a Jasper Carrot joke/story about someone tagging hippos'
along the lines of... hippo goes out into the bush, get shot with a sedative gun right in the neck and down he goes. While he's asleep the conservationists put a tagging device on his head and to stop him being killed for his ivory they remove his tusk.
He wakes up next morning not sure where he is, wanders around to get his bearings and makes his way home. Well missus hippo is livid, "where have you been all night?" he slurring his words from the sedative says he's not sure...she says "you've been out boozing all night, and where's your horn gone?.. you've swapped it for that big dish on your head...".. stunned and shocked he turns slightly... "is that a love bite on your neck?"....
It is not Kiki's full time job, he fishes for Tuna mainly and other smaller fish, sells it onto the hotels who pay a good price for fresh fish, not a big fish eater myself, I like calamari in batter and white fish, but not a big fan...mind I will be out in an hour or so to Latchi on the north coast, no doubt we will be having fish!! local holiday here and all the tavernas will be heaving tonight!
This taverna in fact!!

Is it like UK with half terms, summer, christmas etc etc or do they do it differently over there ?
steve
Today is a bank holiday here Steve, all shops etc are closed for the day, but most workers are robbed of this day off as most are on summer holidays, a break from working in this b****y heat!!
do you still get things like houmous and pittas, salad, tahini, stuffed vineleaves etc.. but then fish instead of meat?.. if so what sort of fish?.. little white bait fried in flour, calamari, whole fish of some sort, tuna steaks?....
?
thanks.
I hope your fish was delicious Jimbox! I don't like fish myself, never eaten any for years. I prefer to see then swimming than on a plate, not that I begrudge anyone eating them. When you work with fish 5 days a week, last thing you feel like coming home to fish for tea!
Same in most proffesions, go to a plumbers house and they need plumbing work doing, sparky's need electrical, decorators etc etc...
That ( if I'm seeing it right ) is the taverna we always head for when in Latchi.
I can't remember what it's called though.
Is it next to the gitty from the road to the harbour at the eastern end of the harbour?
Mark
Yes Mark same one and it was heaving, had a fish meze and Steve yes they do have the same dip's and starters, they always do!!! the squid was lovely and the sea bass was top's, got home late..Ouzo was flowing..off for an early swim..clear my head!
Most of Europe would probably have been on a day off yesterday because 15th August is Assumption day - a big day in the Catholic and Orthodox Church calendar. Oh for as many public holidays in the UK as they take elsewhere in Europe!
They are still on mass holiday today!!
