Love Google or hate them, you have to admire them ;D
I wondered what the vans were doing around again. :)
It's when they have men in white coats in them that I start to get nervous.

How many times I played that in the 60s... ;)
Over the next few weeks people all up and down the country are going to be turning to their partners and saying "Whose car is that on our driveway?" and "Why was the same make/model/colour car your ex-lover had parked just down the road when I was at work?"
;D
Disguises are going to become very popular.
Hmm, they pixilate car reg numbers now BUT with the zoom tool you can view the contents of cars and in several homes in my road I can see into rooms :eek4: this is NOT good news.
I certainly feel the whole thing is a gross invasion of privacy.
I just hope I didn't have washing hanging in the windows! :red:
Most people call it net curtains, Simon. ;D
Blokes who live in their own don't have net curtains. ;D
Or even, on their own.
Bloody phone. ;D
I'm lucky, living in a cul de sac they've only photographed it from the entrance, so I can only see my front garden and a side view of my car.
Can't see the front of my house either but I can see that picture was taken on a Thursday morning in late Autumn ;)
;D
Bin day?
I can walk around my street virtually with street view based on google maps on the iPhone most odd
I just had a look at ours, quite scary the detail they had. Taken last April/May to judge by the vegetation.

Ours was taken quite recently, the trees are bare, not sure I like that.
Mine, I think was taken March/April, as my trailer tent is not behind my fence, but the new gates are there.
Well, we had the TV aerial installed mid-March, so it's after that. The wisteria is out, so Sue assures me it's going to be April/May. I have no idea what a wisteria looks like, of course. It isn't June, because the window's open and we were away then.
It's actually a wonderful tool. I've just been back to where I used to live on the Isle of Wight, and they've had the cheek to have a new front porch door fitted, and have installed bay windows! I then went round the estate where I used to cycle, and took the walk to my primary school. Even the sweet shop is still there in the village! I shall no doubt be back there to explore some more, as I could have spent hours there this evening.

My parents' house is the same - mine's on full view, although I wasn't at home at the time. Obviously taken more than 6 months ago as the neighbours still had their enormous collection of cars, now down to two.
Sadly my office isn't in there as it's a little way up a semi-private road, and the Streetview car obviously stopped at the guard hut.
