7 photos only in your group!!!
Must be pretty clean in France then, by the looks of it!

I can send you plenty more dog's turds on pavements, if you want, but they are from the UK.
If you re-tag them "Filthy France" without telling anybody, no one'll be none the wiser... (Just a thought)

Well... the thing is there are more. A LOT more, I just hate sticking them on Flickr in among all the food etc. I'm thinking of opening a separate account. TBH, I find it a bit disturbing photographing dogshit. My intentions are good, but it's not fun and social media is supposed to be fun last time I checked.

As for your snaps of Cornwall. Gorgeous.

Yes, noodlepie,
When you happen to be living in a foreign country the least thing one can do -I think- is to show respect to that nation and its people.
I personally could go on for ages moaning at what I find oddly different or even disturbing living in the UK.
I decided to show what is good about living in Cornwall instead.
I've just got that kind of mentality.
(Your present group pool tells me a lot more about you than about France, if you want to know)

Hilarious - wellBenjamin I'm terribly sorry to have to inform you that life isn't always pretty flowers and blue skies.

Every day I walk the pavements of Toulouse and I see shit, loads of it. It disgusts me and it disgusts my French friends and my French family. Can you please tell me why you think uploading photos of shit on French streets is disresepectful? Is letting your dog shit on the street respectful thing to do?

Are you honestly saying I should not even mention the problem with dog dirt? Should my Flickr account and blogs be reserved for the purposes of promotion of the French travel industry with lots of soft focus pictures of lovely chateaus and berets?

Or do you mean only French people should be allowed to complain about this problem? And only French people should be allowed to take photos of dog shit on French streets?

I suppose you quite like the fact that the Marie de Toulouse is spending a stack of French taxpayers money on a completely ineffective publicity campaign aimed at cleaning up the streets. I don't suppose you really care what French people think and tell me about this problem. Or maybe you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about because you don't live here and you don't talk to people who live here and you have no awareness of what the govt. is or is not doing to tackle what is a huge social and cultural problem for France.

Before you happily jump onto your shiny white hobby horse in utopian Cornwall, I suggest you do what I do and go out and talk to French people and hear what they think. I've had nothing but positive feedback and even offers to write a French language version of the blog.

So what, it happens everywhere. Come visit America if you think France is so dirty. There is HUMAN crap on the streets here.
