A bad time to flash your bra
Friday, 12th March 2010 by Alex Turnbull
This week Google launched an absolutely massive update to Street View in Hong Kong, Macau, and in particular, the UK. With an incredible 96% of British roads now visible, there were always going to be scandals about what was discovered.
While some are making objections to the passing car in their own special way, others aren't really understanding the nature of the technology.
This woman was inside when she spotted the Google car, and leapt up to expose her bra through a window at the passing car.
However she probably failed to realise that – while the existence an anonymised picture of you flashing your underwear isn't a particularly risky thing in itself – having a picture of you posted on Google Maps while flashing your underwear at work is probably another matter.
Update: We've been contacted by the business owner, and it turns out this is indeed a farm nursery after all. In fact, they think it's as funny as we do, and the woman involved will not be disciplined in any way.
For all the very latest funny and shocking Street View sightings, you should follow us on Twitter!

Amusing but human and harmless – any parent who’d withdraw their child for that shouldn’t be having children – not in this world anyway!
Quite right – last time I checked there wasn’t any correlation between bra-flashing and child abuse.
Time to cancel that Daily Mail subscription, Alex 😉
Hmm. I see your point – the sentence questioning whether “parents have the right to know” is both leading and inflammatory.
And worst of all, it makes us sound if we agree with the Daily Fail school of thought! I shall delete this sentence.
However, I do maintain that this was a pretty stupid thing to do – I (of all people) realise this is a harmless and amusing stunt – but how can we know how this woman’s employers will see the situation?
It’s a well known fact that I’m not a reader of the country’s crappest newspaper, but I suspect there are many people in rural England who are, and with them in mind – I certainly wouldn’t want to be in any way responsible for this woman losing her job.
Actually the guy mooning isn’t even blurred if you move one further over: https://www.googlesightseeing.com/maps?p=&c=&t=h&hl=en&ll=51.913746,4.495672&z=17&layer=c&cbll=51.91381,4.495783&cbp=12,278.55,,2,6.64 And his friend is also protesting (?) … or just being weird: https://www.googlesightseeing.com/maps?p=&c=&t=h&hl=en&ll=51.913746,4.495672&z=17&layer=c&cbll=51.913885,4.495913&cbp=12,299.79,,1,10.31
It could be a parent dropping off or picking up her child, rather than a worker.
Is it assumed to be a childrens nursery, or is it a plant nursery?
That’s what I wondered, Phil – maybe a nursery only refers to a place for kiddies in the UK, though.
Anyway, hard to imagine doing such a stupid and unattractive thing while at work, or home either, for that matter. Certainly not a woman of that age and…well…figure type.
Looks like a plant nursery to me. Notice the greenhouses to the right of our bra-flasher (our right, not her right).
Ah, yes, and of course I had the brilliant idea to check the overhead map view. Plant nursery, absolutely.
Whew, I feel a little better about the stupid woman, now. Oh, sorry, about P. Jizzles mum.
my apologies. I’ll tell my mother to keep her shirt on from now on
One presumes that she did not have enough time to remove the bra?
I think that it is quite likely that the lady involved was practising for her Readers Wives photo shoot?
One thing I am sure of though, is that this comapnys Christmas Parties must be rather a lot of fun…..that is, if the owner provides one!
She shouln’t have done that.. especially in the work place.
Oh get over yourself …
Sorry Tammo, that comment was linkspam. Got past my radar! (I’ve deleted their link now)
