Google Street level
« on: 11 March 2010, 17:22:07 »

 .... is now UK wide. Or I've just found out.  ;)
Typical of my Dad to have his back to the car/camera.


Google has made a pigs ear of the area though ..... imagas of his actual street are of somewhere else.  :-?

.... and we must've been away in our caravan  :y

They have been down the main dual carriageway past where I used to live.  Hope I am not out and about when the camera comes round.

I dont actually agree with what they are doing, I looked up where my Nan used to live in Aberdeen and in a sence it was nice to see nothing has changed in 32 years since I last visited, but then I realised all the surrounding cars numbers plates were vuisible.

Not good for people getting thier number plates cloned on the current petrol theft situation.  Grab a reg number from 300 miles away and take a guess that thats were the car resides if you give falsee info - No Thanks. :-/

The whole 96 houses on the estate cannot have the same postcode surely?

Street ones show my Miggy that I bought a few months ago. ;D
