The Chemould Frames store, renowned picture framers, count the city's movers and shakers, many of them art aficionados and connoisseurs, among their customers. A few moo-vers though, visiting the store front at Princess Street, Marine Lines, every day, are no art lovers.

Adil Gandhy, partner at Chemould Frames, is in despair over a peculiar problem - cows that leave mounds of dung just outside the glass store front. Beware Christian Loubotin shoes-shod customers, with precious picture or art work in hand, your feet might sink into cow cake outside the ground floor store. Gucci leather moccasins may have a similar soft and very unfortunate landing. "On Wednesday evening, two disgusted customers left after seeing the dung outside the shop," said Gandhy. "We have had customers who have soiled their footwear in the dung. We had to give them something to clean their shoes with," said the owner.
