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

Well, the ‘hooker’ is stood not far from a ‘Sex Slop’ (yes - it looks like SLOP not SHOP)
