What Is It With The French And Dogs ...

... or to be more specific dogsh!t.

I'm having a very pleasant couple of days in Nice for a family birthday ... it's a very interesting place - but any attempt to walk the streets looking up at the interesting architecture is doomed to end in a pile of dog crap on the sole.

We're not talking 'little poodles in the gutter' but bloody great labradors in the middle of the pavement. It really is everywhere and I've seen nothing as bad anywhere (certainly not in the UK) for a very long time.

There appear to be laws - but not a shred of evidence that anyone gives a stuff about them. It's like a step back into the dark ages (or possibly a brown period).

Rant over - I'm off for some Moules Frites and a verre or three of vin rouge ... whilst walking very carefully.

I have a selection Psybbs and an assortment of means of restraint.......

Who knows how your mind works G, ask your daughter for clarification. ;-)

I would never want to know how my mind works Shoota......would spoil the fun I think.
Daughter worries about me is all....she's more careful and reserved.....I bring burglars into the house.......I take tramps home for a bath and takeaway...she worries. :-(

[tonyav]

Can't think why gness !.

[tonyav]

we went to Lille once for our wedding anniversary and also noticed that dogs poop everywhere and owners dont eventhink of clearing up but their local council must because next day the streets are clear.
