Can't be bothered if I know the forum software handles long URLs.

Fair enough! :)

Bit waster!!!

Google has added Street View maps of Sweden, Denmark, some U.S. theme parks and National Trust locations in the UK.

This shouldn't sound dirty at all.

I'm the confused looking blurred out face holding a suit reaching for his door.

Dude look at the other 2 houses, some one stole the top of yours!

A letter turned up for me last week from a firm that had clearly not cleaned their address lists for a VERY VERY long time.

It used a name for my house that I used once or twice way back in the mid 70's and I had forgotten about:

the name was BITBUCKET

;) ;) :D :O Rolling eyes

Street view totally swept people of their feet and wheels here.

The automatic face detector has blurred out the Colonel: http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&hq=&ll=51.51781,-0.080166&spn=0,0.013969&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=51.517734,-0.08024&panoid=rorn0PeE3sOh75qlcwWyQQ&cbp=12,131.41,,0,9.29

Anyone got similar?

That's actually very amusing. hehe.

Lord Nelson looks a bit blurred too. Though not due to face recognition.

He looks a bit like Queen Victoria.

The placemakers on Google Maps really are embarrassingly shit. Apparently the Whitehall Theatre (when was it last called that anyway?) is in the middle of Trafalgar Square. Do they have no moderation or quality control of any kind at all?

Nope, there are several areas of Nottingham they're not sure are one town or the other so they just call it both towns like saying I live in Derby and Nottingham at the same time, which for someone wanting to go there is confusing as f**k.

I'm using the word "Wanting" very loosely.
