    Dear All,
    i was wondering whether he has an opinion on the difference between :

    L'odour Du Pied.

    or trainer rot.

    Do the english have good strong (ripe) stilton.

    And the French

    A suitable Minging rotting equivalent, but as with most things french the effect lasts far longer.

    I was going to say Gorgonzola but cant remeber if this is French or not.

    regards David

    Merde. Weird article. Is the man a Podiatrist? Why does he choose Chiropractors to buff and polish nails? Qu'est-ce-que c'est le French mot pour 'having a lend of himself' (as we Aussies would say)?

    at what point do we diverge from all the years of training to become a Podiatrist, and start pampering our patients with cute words, creams and dreams, diverging from the essesence of what we do as serious proffesionals. This type of approach damages the image of our profession.

    On the other hand, perhaps some of our patients, are not patients but people seeking to have their nails clipped and hard skin removed (even if there are underlying biomechanical pathologies that may at the moment be asymptomatic) but this is not their priority.

    Our skill with the blade, and nail burr and moors disc, certainly comes close to what has been proposed, and this is what a lot of us do all the time. Add a little cream, mobilise the feet, gentle massage and Whooppee!! I'm a walking on Air!!.

    So, as far as I can see, the fundamental difference is the nail buffing, and of course the Price.
    I am jealous of not being able to milk my Patient for £110 per session. Perhaps I can learn from this fellow.......

    Honestly, I don't think you could pay me enough to consider buffing toe nails with Chamois leather every single working day, what a long week he must have!
