Nan shows off her payday fake designer clobber haul from Turkey – but trolls say they'd ‘put them straight in the bin'
The popular holiday destination has long been regarded as the 'capital of fakes' among Brits looking to rock designer styles for the price of a coffee.

A quick four hour flight could land you in a bustling market flogging 'Gucci belts' for £3 and Louis 'Fuitton' handbags for £20.
So it comes as no surprise one gran, only known as Lisa, went totally wild after she got paid during her holiday in Turkey.
The nan, who works for the NHS, snapped up a mega haul of fake designer gear, including replicas of Nike and Hugo Boss.
To treat herself without forking out a fortune, Lisa purchased trendy Nike trainers in black, as well as several purses.
One of these - a replica of Louis Vuitton - cost her just a tenner, while a similar version online will set you back close to £1,500.
Although Lisa already boasts a huge collection of bags, the bargain deal was too good to sleep on, she chuckled in the video.
The monster haul, posted under the username @ littlelisa_48, also had plenty of prezzies for the smallest ones in the family, such as Crocs knock-offs, a stylish Hugo Boss set for her grandson and Adidas football jersey.
Another gift her eldest grandson will be treated to is the viral and sought-after Palm Angels T-shirt in white - which on average retails for around £100.
With the grandson's birthday to look forward to, it seems the nan went all out - as she also purchased fake Louis Vuitton trainers with faux leather detailing and the iconic logo.
In the clip, Lisa revealed that she also couldn't resist the same trainers but in a baby version.
My favourite outfit has been labelled 'frumpy & ageing' by cruel fashionistas, but screw them… I'll be buried wearing it
''Baby LV, so cute I had to get them.''
The epic haul was indeed a successful one, as the Brit nan went to show off her brand new ''designer'' bags and wallets - more than a dozen in total.
''When you get paided [paid] while in Turkey,'' Lisa wrote in the seemingly never-ending video.
Is it Illegal to Buy 'Designer' Dupes in Turkey?
In Turkey, buying counterfeit goods is generally considered illegal.
If you buy a counterfeit product for personal use, you're unlikely to be prosecuted against - unless your purchase involves a significant quantity or the intent to resell.
Customs authorities have the power to stop and seize counterfeit goods entering or leaving Turkey.
That means they can stop you upon your return home and seize any designer dupes you've bought on holiday.
'Where did you buy these? So I can avoid'
Although the clip was posted just a day ago, it's already taken the internet by storm - but for all the wrong reasons.
As close to 250k people viewed the video, almost 2,000 gave it a like and 160 flooded to comments to share their brutal verdict on the cut-price items.
One wasn't impressed by the quality and joked: ''The crocs look like those real or cake videos.''
Another chimed in: ''Where did you buy these? So I can avoid.''
''Grandson finna be looking fly in this new gear,'' someone else chuckled.
''If my nan bought me any of this it's getting dashed straight in the bin,'' a fourth added, as Lisa had the perfect response.
''Just shows how ungrateful you are,'' she hit back.

Katie Price's major update on Harvey's future after council axes college funding
Katie Price, previously also known as Jordan, has this week opened up about her eldest son Harvey - whom she shares with former Manchester United footballer Dwight Yorke Harvey Price is going from college into "independent living," his mum Katie has revealed. Katie, 47, last year said she was forced to withdraw her eldest son from the £350,000-a-year college because the local authority cut reportedly his funding, deeming he had "no healthcare issues". This is despite Harvey's ADHD, autism, genetic condition Prader-Willi Syndrome, and septo-optic dysplasia, which causes blindness. Katie, who came third in I'm a Me Out of Here! in 2004, appealed against the decision. Now, Harvey is going "into the real world," Jordan has confirmed. Speaking on the Katie Price Show podcast, the former model said: "Harvey is doing the countdown for his new place. He's got his leavers ceremony where they give out certificates and then it's the 'real world' Mr Harvey Price." The mum of five, who shares Harvey with former Manchester United footballer Dwight Yorke, had previously told how her son "got bored" at the residential college and often wanted to come home. But Harvey is now set for a change of scene, with temporary accommodation in Southampton ready for September and then something nearer his mum from October. "I've found him a place in Southampton which is temporary. It's got five other adults in it. Then he moves to his place in October, which is Littlehampton, which will be nearer to be. He's going from college to independent living," the mother of five continued. Harvey's Prader-Willi Syndrome is a complex condition which causes obesity and learning difficulties. He is also autistic and partially blind. Prader-Willi Syndrome is very rare, with the NHS estimating that it affects "no more than one in every 15,000 children born in England". Twice-bankrupt Katie, who lives in Horsham, West Sussex, previously said: "Harvey is supposed to be moving in four-and-a-half weeks, they've (the college) changed management and said they won't be able to cater for Harv, because he's too difficult. So now I've got to find another placement for him... so yeah, more drama to deal with." Later in the show, she said: "We worked months and months for that and he was told four-and-a-half weeks before that he couldn't go there, and Harvey has been doing the countdown. "Well it's stressful because you want the right thing for your child and it is a lot of time and effort to go back and do more meetings, more forms, it is very time-consuming because you want the best for your child." Finding the right care for Harvey has been a constant issue for Katie, a TV personality, since her eldest reached adulthood.

Shore thing — the Secret Coast holiday home of your dreams
Arriving at a faraway (but not too far) holiday house on a Friday night, at the end of another working week, when your children are young and nerves are frayed, is the definition of respite. Especially when that house is a sumptuously restored and mildly eccentric Victorian villa overlooking Argyll's Secret Coast. A canny bit of tourism marketing speak that must be true because in almost 30 years of living in Scotland, I've never come here before. It's dark when we pitch up in Tighnabruaich, its scattering of houses rising from the shoreline as though they've been hurled into position from across the Kyles of Bute. The late hour means the softly lapping waters are heard more than seen, spotlit here and there by sturdy village lamps studding the shore. But there are advantages to arriving somewhere after night has fallen. The next morning we wake early, and through the vast Victorian bay windows in the sitting room, sit huddled together watching the sun ascend over the Kyles of Bute. Slowly, slowly the quiet beauty of this part of western Scotland reveals itself. Shorefront House opened in 2021 after a huge restoration. Previously a hotel with a reputation for rowdy ceilidhs and late-night lock-ins, it had lain empty for 15 years, growing increasingly derelict until a Glasgow couple, Graeme and Lorraine McFall, with a background in the music industry saw it, fell in love and snapped it up. In less than three years they transformed this grand old mansion into a five-star holiday house with underfloor heating in the en suite bathrooms, Nespresso coffee machines and a sound system so impressive we fear the neighbours might come round (fear not, they don't). There is a Big Green Egg barbecue, a huge terrace for outdoor dining, a fire pit and pétanque court in the garden, and a pool table in the games room over which my son becomes extremely territorial. The thing that impresses this middle-aged mum most of all? A boiling water tap in the kitchen. • Tide & Thyme Bistro review: better than any takeaway in Glasgow or Edinburgh You could have an incredible multigenerational party here, spilling out onto the lawn, catered by Tide & Thyme, a local restaurant that also does private functions. The eight bedrooms — six are en suite — are named after Graeme and Lorraine's favourite Eighties bands. Which means listening to the children running up and down the stairs screaming, 'I'm in Orange Juice!' 'No, the Waterboys!' 'No, the Proclaimers!' We end up in Deacon Blue. It's a quirky modern touch, but it's also a nod to Tighnabruaich's deep historic links with Glasgow. Like so many imposing (and often decaying) Victorian mansions, Shorefront House has a long and complicated past, indelibly wrapped up in this country's history of empire. While the house was being built in the 1890s for a member of the Dobie family, who owned a tallow and tobacco company in Paisley, the village around it was expanding into a popular weekend retreat for Glasgow's merchants who were making huge fortunes through the unfettered plunder of tobacco, sugar and cotton in the colonies. Tighnabruaich was still only accessible from the water then so the merchants would come by paddle steamer, a history written in the three ghostly piers jutting from the village's short stretch of shoreline. (The expression 'Getting steaming' is said to come from this era because the paddle steamers, unlike many areas of Glasgow, were licensed.) The scenic, twisting road we drive here wasn't blasted out of the Cowal peninsula's hillside until the 1960s. Despite the cut-off feeling that accompanies all stays on peninsulas, there's loads to do. Just off the road out of Tighnabruaich you can play a round of golf that you pay for via the honesty box at the clubhouse. There are boat tours and trips 'doon the watter' from Tighnabruaich pier aboard the last seagoing paddle steamer, the Waverley. We head to Ostel Bay beach a few miles' drive from Tighnabruaich, parking at a little farm with an adjoining café, to stroll through dunes to a vast stretch of golden sand with magnificent views across to Arran. But why go anywhere when you're staying in a house like this? So it's back to the big views from the big windows. The generosity of the kitchen and the sound system. The game of pool with a bottle of local craft ale in the evenings. And the knowledge that we're staying in a carefully preserved piece of history that could so easily have been Ramaswamy was a guest of Luxury Cottages ( which has one night's self-catering for 18 at Shorefront House from £840
