there were some great mechanical robot things in trafalgar square last evening. i took a few photos and some video which i was going to post but then i saw Russell's entry on the same thing and his excellent video so i haven't bothered ! have a mooch round his blog whilst you are over there (don't forget to come back again !)

however, i did manage to get a picture of the chap who built them, seen clearly here with his back to us in the british summertime rain.
