Today, Google Earth put the whole of the UK on street view.
They took a pic right in front of my house, so I've got a 360 degree view.
Fantastic technology.

interestingly, most people use google earth/street view to look at where they live




Just walk out the front door and turn around!!!!!!

It's showing my van parked at the back of my house and me and Ms Gadget peering out of the window. Although you'd struggle to spot us, but we watched the cam car drive past, so we know exactly where we were stood at the time.

They got Maison Mooncat just before the council collected the black bags and recycling material; the trailer is full of rubbish ready for the skip, and son's car is there but not ours. Mrs M is not happy about the whole idea, and a lonnnnnng driveway is on the list for the new house.
