Hilarious mum exposes how Brits go from rags to riches in just days on holiday in Turkey and leaves everyone in stitches
A MUM-OF-TWO has left people in stitches after exposing how Brits go from rags to riches in just three days while on holiday in Turkey.
Standup comedian Kelly Convey was just on a family trip in the popular tourist country, famed for its huge markets and delicious food.
But she made a very funny observation about the people she’d seen dressed in high-street clothes on her flight over.
Taking to TikTok in a viral video, Kelly joked that she’d seen the same people looking a million dollars three days after arriving.
“My favourite thing about coming to Turkey on holiday is that you fly out of Gatwick with a group of people,” she started.
“And they’ll be wearing Slazenger socks, Adidas sliders, maybe a Diadora tracksuit.
“Three days into the holiday, you see those same people and they are dripping, I mean dripping, in designer gear.
“I’m talking Balenciaga, Prada, Gucci. They’re rocking an Hermes belt.
“They come into dinner with a massive bright thing on their wrist. The wife’s got a quilted Chanel.
“I mean, Barry, it’s been three days mate.
“Barry’s not only coming home with a tan, he’s coming home with two Patek Philippe watches and a pair of Prada shoes.
“I mean, what more can you want from a holiday?”
Kelly’s video tickled a number of holidaymakers who had noticed the exact same thing on their travels to Turkey.
People dubbed her take as “brilliant” and “hilarious”.
“It’s so funny to feel rich for a few days,” one person said.
“Always the flight back home is the best,” another weighed in. “It’s a catwalk.”
“Can’t wait for my holiday to Turkey in September for this very reason,” a third laughed.
Kelly’s video has raked in almost four million views, with thousands of Brits taking to the comments to laugh about how much Brits love buying knock-off fashion abroad.
According to a 2021 report by the European Union‘s intellectual property office, the value of counterfeit goods from Turkey tripled from 2019 to 2020.
The Turkish market was also valued around £115 million, showing how much of a big player it is in the fake fashion industry.
