Does anyone actually buy from him twice? We certainly won't 14euros for some watermelon last year. Never again.

Did you actually hand over the cash?

Sorry but there is no way I would hand over that kind of money for some slices of fruit.

To be fair - he can be quite intimidating to some people - especially to those not used to the currency - it seems like monopoly money.

I have been told by some different beach-bed purveyors that he can turn nasty - they have seen it!

Luckily I am big enough to not get bothered by him too much - but in spite of me telling him "NO - - too expensive", he never gives up asking.
he especially targets pale-skinned newbies and females, I noticed.
Last week we took cut up melon to the beach - I got it out to munch as he approached - he still asked!! LOL
