I've just woken up to see that my twitter post is all over the uk media.

I just want to clarify a couple of points about it and in reference to Ian in Holland's mediocre troll efforts below,

1. It's a total non story. Every media outlet who has contacted me I've told the same. It's not news. Man posts picture on social media, people share it. It's happened before, it will happen again. I don't understand the fuss.

2. I tweeted it with absolute minimum information. Nobody can see the guy, nobody knows who he works for, nobody knows where he works.

People have asked me for more info, particularly the tabloid newspapers but I told them straight up that there is no way I will ever let them know. This picture was just something I saw out of my window, anyone else, anywhere else could witness something similar. I was never going to do it in such a way that people could identify him.

3. Various media outlets worldwide (radio stations, tv, newspapers) have all been in touch asking to interview me.

I've declined And sent the same statement to each of them explaining that this is not about trying to set anybody up, it's not about identifying people, it's not about me seeking fame. It's an observation I made out of my window one day that I found amusing and felt other people may view it the same way. For that reason I'm not willing to be interviewed. The internet has had it's laugh now and we can all get on with our lives. There's absolutely no reason that this should have made the news.

4. The guy won't get sacked. I can't and won't say anymore about that.

5. That was a really, really poor trolling attempt. WrothTrolls would hang their head in shame. Up your game.
