Well, you opened this thread in the Europe-Russia forum. So, we can talk about "hell" in Europe (France), but you cannot talk about "hell" in Asia (India); but, I chose to give you some leeway, because, if not anything else, you are entertaining. :peace:
When a thread goes off topic,isn't it your job to close it ? :peace: :peace:

Poor hygiene 'costs French economy €14.5bn'

Poor personal hygiene cost French companies a staggering €14.5 billion in 2013, according to a new study published this week. The report did not smell much sweeter for British and German companies, which also suffered big losses because of uncleanliness.


The survey will do little to quash the perhaps unfair stereotype of French people not being not the most hygienic of folk. Although it does show that the British and the German workers are in no position to mock their Gallic counterparts.

Poor hygiene cost France €14.5 billion last year with the majority of the lost cash due to the time employees spent mopping up after others or searching for clean toilets, instead of doing their jobs, the study says.

That lost time was the equivalent of 2.3 days per worker, each year, which once totalled up for the whole country is equivalent to a €10.1 billion loss, according to the study from the Centre for Economics and Business Research in combination with cleaning company Rentokil Initial.

The remainder of France's multi-billion euro loss was due to the one sick day each year employees take on average because of poor hygiene. The study noted the French, only 49 percent of whom wash their hand after going to the bathroom, could do a lot better.

"In France, we have a hard time admitting that poor hygiene is a factor linked to illness," Virginia Mallet, head of hygiene company Initial France told French daily Le Figaro. "The simple act of washing one's hands after going to the toilet is automatic in some countries, but in France we have always underestimated this act.

The most affected jobs are in real estate and the health industry with, respectively, €3.1 billion and €2.4 billion in losses per year. Education and banking are close behind, while the telecom and high tech industries are less impacted.

"All companies can improve their results by attaching more importance to hygiene. But workers must also understand their own role in doing so, " Mallet added.

France were not the only country where germs wiped out billions of euros.

The United Kingdom was close behind France with €13.7 billion lost to bad hygiene last year, with Germany in third place with €12.6 billions in losses.

The French do have previous when it comes to studies on cleanliness. A 2012 report revealed nearly one fifth of all French people don't wash every day, with 3.5 percent hopping into the shower just once a week, Time Magazine reported.

It would seem British cleanliness problems are more linked to laundry however. Half a million Brits wash their bedding just three times per year with Londoners being the worst offenders, according to a report in The Telegraph

One in 29 French people don't take a shower even once a WEEK - while 13% do not wash their hands after using the toilet | Daily Mail Online


One in 29 French people don't take a shower even once a WEEK - while 13% do not wash their hands after using the toilet

One in 29 people in France only take a shower once a week, according to a new survey.

The study into French washing habits also found that one in five do not shower every day.

On the other end of the scale, 11.5 per cent of French men and women shower several times daily.

Hand washing, too, is 'not always a priority for the French,' said pollster BVA, which was commissioned to carry out the survey by hygiene product company Tork.

One eighth of those questioned said they didn't bother washing their hands after going to the toilet and 45 per cent admitted they didn't scrub up after being on public transport even though 54% thought buses and trains were 'the dirtiest objects in daily life.'

More than one in five said they didn't wash their hands before sitting down for a meal.

The bath is in decline with only 18 per cent of French people who take one once a week and 61% who say they do not bathe frequently.

The French are more aware of hygiene when they are cooking - 86.6 per cent say they always wash their hands before preparing food.

Young people are also less concerned about cleaning toilets than their elders: from 18 to 34 years, 18.9 per cent cleaned the toilet every day, against 44.9 per cent for those aged 50 to 64 years and 58.7 per cent of those over 65.

But it's not like the British have much to crow about. More than half of men quizzed in a June poll admitted they regularly skipped their morning shower, with a quarter saying they'd rather have the extra time in bed.

But someone a great philosopher has said a picture is worth a thousand words, isn't it? So how can appending a pic here demonstrate lack of words? :confused:

Jokes and sarcasm apart - it is bad form to take one dirty image and stereotype an entire nation. Use a small set of dirty images to beat down a whole nation. This is not cool, and the target nation will have my sympathy in any case (except if the nation is Pakistan :D), since I have seen India being targeted like this time and again.

There is crap to be found everywhere - France, USA, Finland, etc. Cherry picking images is very simple.
