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!!!!!!
That's where you live

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.

When yo go into google maps there is a bit on the left hand side that says MORE. Click on that and then click on street view.[/b]

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.
