Sky News’ David Williams has posted a Qik video of Speed staffer John Brown’s (@brownbare) lunchtime #arcticmyarse stunt.
@brownbare takes direct action with #arcticmyarse stunt in Trafalgar Square
It started as a discussion yesterday in the office about the UK’s over reaction to the recent snow flurries in the South East and the impending “arctic conditions”.
Today self-proclaimed attention seeker and Speed staffer John Brown (@brownbare) took direct action by sunbathing this lunchtime in Trafalgar Square.
He inevitably caught the attention of citizen journalists, bloggers and innocent passersby as well as the local Heritage Wardens. And the odd hack.

Trafalgar Square Ghost Forest exhibition
If you’re in London and near Trafalgar Square in the next week go and have a look at the graveyard of tree roots called Ghost Forest. Its been put there by artist Angela Palmer in a bid to raise the issue of deforestation of the world’s forests.
Gormley’s One and Other project
Here’s a panoramic shot of Antony Gormley’s One and Other project round the corner from the Speed office in Trafalgar Square. What really struck me is how the plinth and its occupant are dwarfed by its surroundings and the other statues in the square.
