Must be the season... After Virgin, a huge taxi demonstration on Thursday and a big upcoming anti gay marriage on Sunday, I came across a small protest outside the Printemps department store. The store firemen picked the first day of the sales to demonstrate against their working conditions, playing on words ("we are not on sale.."). Needless to say that they did not get much attention from the 20+ ladies (yes, before you blame me for being a chauvinist there were only ladies!) waiting for the Printemps to open their doors.
At least the ladies on PDP usually give much attention to your photos of firemen.
ReplyDeleteJe ne peux pas m'empêcher de sourire... (c'est ta faute, tu le présentes ainsi ;-) : ils disent qu'ils ne sont pas en solde. Or, une vingtaine de jeunes femmes attend pour entrer et faire les soldes... sans leur prêter tellement d'attention. Ironique !
ReplyDeleteMais que pourraient-elles offrir à ces pompiers qui offrent leur vie à chaque intervention risquée dans leur travail ? ... c'est ce que ces pompiers nous disent. Je pense à eux et j'y pense.
Ah, Paris! Don't ever change.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with them : they are not paid enough! The 20 + women who were waiting for their shopping on sales may be forgivable but they are thankless.
ReplyDeleteSales time on the pompiers could mean 'un sale temps pour les pompiers'. Ok this is only a bad play on words... ;)

Sorry for the double comments ... !
ReplyDelete@CN "Sales time for les pompiers!" c'est drôle ;-)
ReplyDelete@Anonymous. Oui, c'est vrai les femmes qui attendaient ne peuvent rien faire, évidemment, mais c'était vraiment de voir ces deux mondes tellement étrangers l'un à l'autre qui était... ironique !
@Petrea "Ah, Paris! Don't ever change." It will never LOL!
