Google in a wee bit of bother
A French gentleman is seeking £8,300 in damages from Google, due to their Street View service accidentally catching him in the act of urinating in his garden. He claims it has made him the laughing stock of the obviously rather bored village.
Crafty locals have identified him despite Google blurring out his face, but when the image is taken of someone on their property, in a small French village of only 3,000 inhabitants, you don't exactly need to call on Sherlock Holmes to put the pieces together.
The verdict on the case, dubbed "Wee-gate" by .... well, by me, is due on March 15th.
Moral of the story? Don't wee in your garden. Wee in a toilet.
