Me on Google Maps Street View, outside the office
Originally uploaded by Chris Green.

I&#8217;ve been captured again by the Google Street View cameras. This time one of Google&#8217;s sinister-looking black Vauxhall Astra camera cars caught me walking back into my office in Hampshire at lunchtime.
