Google Street View has come to the UK, and the IT PRO team has already been playing around with it.

First up I did what everybody does - look up our houses and places of work. Then I tried to see if the cars whizzing around London with Google cameras managed to pick up interesting stuff. Our ex-editor Chris Green was doing the same thing -  he managed to find himself on Google Street View!

I decided to have a look around the web and see if there was anything else interesting that Google Street View may have caught.

 1 Woman decides to flash the Google camera car in Chicago

It’s pretty self-explanatory. Hopefully it will a van will never catch me when I’m in weekend drunk mode…

2 A sign that makes no sense in Washington

I guess the only reason why this sign would be up was due to there being a school for deaf children or something.

3 Plastering a car with post-it notes in Florida.

Admit it. This is cool. If I had that many post-it notes I would be all up for doing this.

4 Someone peeing into bushes in Paris.

You would have to zoom in to see this properly. I guess at least he wasn’ t doing a number two. These sightings are probably more common than you might think.

5 Somebody giving the Google Street View car a taste of its own medicine

Say cheese!

6 Another French man peeing in Lille.

Told you. Wonder if French men like being caught peeing by speeding cars with big cameras on its roof.

7 A dead cat

For those Google Street View surfers of a more morbid nature.

 8 A house flipped upside down

My brain is melting…

9 An incredibly skinny Spanish guy

I’m sure this is simply a trick of the camera. Got a frame like one of those Indie dudes I see in Shoreditch with the stupid hats.

10 A French prostitute in Paris

Well I think she’s (or he?) is a hooker with those clothes and the gold boots.

Was also kinda glad that she wasn’t having a pee.
