I'm outraged, BC!

On the other hand I'm having a lovely time wandering round ancestral villages and favourite beach lanes.

It must have been a hot day when they did ours, my front door's open. Can't see anything but even so....lol

You can focus on my big bay window, but you can't see much, only the shadow of the kitchen units in the background.

I love it, didn't realise how much more had been put on, so I'll be having a good look round today.

Thank goodness ours isn't on it! They'd driven up the road, but turned into a cul de sac before getting to our end.

Although it's interesting looking at old addresses, it somehow doesn't feel right when its your current dwelling

I think it's great. I can see my SIL's home in Cheshire and she can see mine here in Sydney!
My neighbour happened to be parked on a Bus Stop when our street was photographed. Busted!

I've just been looking at the house where I lived from the age of 5 - 18. The shop next door is now called 'Happy Times'. How apt!

For the life of me, I cannot get to where the rest of you are obviously at. That is to say, I put into google, the google.co.uk part, and it doesn't take me to where I want to be.

Thanks Gwynne, I have always been able to access that, but it is the views that everyone else on here seems to be able to access, that I cannot get. You know, someone at a bus stop, someones back cludgie etc.
Thanks
