anyone can google
uh... paris and come up with glowing reviews about the city
how everyone loves it and i mean i thought of it is like that myself
but i thought you know
to bring it back to reality i'll balance it out
and talk about some things i don't like that much
Paris is quite a dirty city
i don't mean this in the colonial sense of the word where like
oh my goodness
immigrants and
ethnic minorities and you know i love all that stuff and
that is the and the uh...
progressive love that ***
so i dont mean in that sense
i mean it in the actual like literal sense of the word dirty
and in particular
the problem of dog faeces in paris is massive is huge
there's a certain area
one of the suburbs in paris which is called alfortville
Alfortville I know i've pronounced it wrong but there's a little
commune
just on the
never eat shredded southeast
uh... area of paris and it is
soon as you come off the metro area
real stench hits you in the face and it's just a
it's *** there's no other way of describing it you know maybe failure
but no it's mostly, it's mostly the stench of
faeces, it's so bad
you know whenever i'm
in london and I step in dog *** i'm quite lucky I live
in a city like london because the weather's always terrible
and it's always kind of rainy or it's been wet like from the night before or something
there's always puddles you can scrape through
and you know
wash your shoes
*laughs* this is so disgusting I hate talking about this stuff
Anyways in Paris if you just sat down somewhere
where there's a
high proportion of dog *** uh... and you see how people react when they step in it
i mean
there's a lot of French people who i've seen that have stepped in dog *** and been like
eh boff
like you know whenever an English person or anyone in London steps in dog ***
it's just like
are
ah
uh
my life is over
but not so in paris, anyway to be fair when i step in dogshit in london
I don't really react like that
because I want to slyly uh... disguise the fact that that's happened.
Okay I want to show you how bad the problem is, I went out and I just filmed
I filmed the places where there is quite a lot of dog *** and here it is
dog ***... dog ***... dog ***...
dog ***... ah this one's a doozy some unfortunate soul
has trodden right through that... oh would you look at that it's a- oh it's a leaf
that;s why in france i tend to walk in the middle of the road but even in the middle of the road you're not safe
*sigh* it's disgusting... oh look more dog *** over there. doo doo
oh great dog *** over there.
you guys might be thinking that oh you know he's walking the streets of paris trying to find dog ***
and show it to us
but actually
this is just literally
one street literally just one street i've just walked down
In Paris and it
pisses me off
if one street can contain
like the ratio of pavement to dog ***
on this street is ridiculous
you know i walk down this street and im like oh you want some pavement with that
with that dog ***.
you know you know would you like some
street with that dog ***
oh look you're not allowed to take a *** here
just this lone patch of ground here. Everywhere else is fair game
Flipping hell it pisses me off. Alright im gonna close this now cause my hands are freezing.
Now the problem with this is.
it leads me to walking in the road in this area this is in Alfortville where I
works
I tend to walk in the road
because it's the only place
where you're kinda safe
from dogshit.
This is an increase in the certainty that I might die
because uh... cars
drive on the road not on the pavement although in paris you get like mopeds that
drive along pavements its really annoying really really really really annoying
uh...
also say for example you do actually find
uh... dog *** in london for example.
It will be either next to like a tree
or like
bunched up against the end of sidewalk
like next to a wall or something
and no one really walks
uh... you know scuffing their trainers along the wall
In paris you know these people they do it like *** straight in the middle of the
pavement like you know. Where most people tend to walk. And I'm not an animal person
in general you know I don't mind cats they're about it
you know dogs im not a fan of dogs. I mean
I wouldn't kill them I wouldn't go around hugging dogs either
they're there they're all right
i mean i don't mind
i mean it's just look if you look after your animal
and you
take care of it
then good on ya you know that's that's great
uh... im glad that you have a companion
but if you just walk around
and let your dog just defacate wherever he wants
without
going to pick it up its
it's just so unfortunate
and ive seen so much
there's a primary school
in this area i'm talking about and it, it's just it's just a minefield
around it
uh... and you just see kids trawling through it
you know ive seen kids holding teddy bears just like
walking behind with teddy bears going through
ugh it's really bad and you know
it makes me feel like worse about dogs because before i didn't really mind
but i'll just see a dog and be like you...
I know what you're going to do. And then i'll look at the owner and be like
I know what you're not going to do. I've seen one person pick up dog *** once it was
behind a supermarket
she didn't have to do it, no one was watching, but she did it. So ratings, ratings for that.
