Book Content:
Blurb -
"Paul West, a young Englishman, arrives in Paris to start a new job - and finds out what the French are really like.
They do eat a lot of cheese, some of which smells like pigs' droppings. They don't wash their armpits with garlic soap. Going on strike really is the second national participation sport after pétanque. And, yes, they do use suppositories.
Stephen Clarke gives a laugh-out-loud account of the pleasures and perils of being a Brit in France. Less quaint than 'A Year in Provence', less chocolatey than 'Chocolat', 'A Year in the Merde' will tell you how to get served by the grumpiest Parisian waiter; how to make amour - not war; how not to buy a house in the French countryside; and the perils of slippery dog poo (650 Parisians hospitalised per year)."
