Google Street View of 'whole' of UK Going Live Tomorrow

digipeep · 13 Mar 2010 at 02:13

I posted the link on the funny names thread. But as Street View is so new to us in the sticks I'd thought I post it here so when you and your mates come down on holiday in the Summer you won't have to stop next to the sign and photograph yourself next to it.

Haha.

Anyway, seems like a really nice area.

I didn't spot that TVR before! I just happened to see that sign the other week and meant to post it on here but forgot.

Anyway, that area isn't too bad, but it's a bit close to Chelmsley Wood..... and that place is a ****hole.

Luckily I live 20 miles away!

I'd imagine there's very little chance that someone looking to clone an Audi TT will be looking on Google Earth anyway seeing as nearly all cars have their reg blurred out, so I'd say his worry is unfounded.

I still can't get over the fact that my house is on there! Woo!

secretspy · 13 Mar 2010 at 17:47

oooh i can see my house lol

must have taken it ages ago as it's our old front door.

Why?
What problems will it cause?

None at all. But they are from the older generation and fear these things.

Plus, it is personalised and has her name on it.

So her number plate has got her full name on it eg Pauline Smith?
Wouldn't she be in more danger from someone walking past it in her own town?

Ok I will elaborate a little. It has her nickname on as she is known as to friends. In full.

She is also a little paranoid as she is european vice president of a company that some protestors target regularly with violence so she is generally paranoid about stuff being in the public domain.

And before you say it, I have spoken to her before about her paranoia and why the hell she has a private plate in her position. She just likes the plate. In some regards she is very intelligent but in others, she is a complete tool.

I thought one reason of having a personalised plate is that you want people to see it

Yas786 · 13 Mar 2010 at 18:45

Had a look at my street on google...seems like it hasnt changed ie the pic they have on there is like 2 yrs old
