Hotel sacks men for seducing British women
A Turkish hotel has sacked all its male staff because they kept seducing older British women.
A scene from Shirley Valentine
Manager Pelin Yucel took the drastic step after catching her male waiters and barmen bedhopping with guests looking for Shirley Valentine-style romances.
They have now been replaced with a women-only team at the 27-bedroom hotel in Marmaris, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Ms Yucel, 32, said: "It got beyond a joke. The last straw was when I caught my bartender coming out of a toilet with a woman guest.
"She was embarrassed but he was beaming all over his face."
Ms Yucel also said she could never contact her night receptionist because he was always in bed with the guests.
She said: "The waiters would prey on older English women staying at the hotel. They would wait for them to come back from nights out - often drunk - then seduce them.
"They would have one guest one week, wave goodbye to her, and eye up the new guests as they arrived. It was hell."
In the 1989 film, Shirley Valentine leaves her drab life at home for a holiday romance on a Greek island.
A survey last month found the over 60s were following her example, being more likely to find love abroad than any other age group.
