If you haven't checked for a while - check now. They've massively increased coverage. My house is now covered.

Apparently 95% of Britain is now covered.

Heh! And I've just found my sister having a driving lesson on it :-)

He can request that the image be removed. It's pretty well hidden, but bottom left of the Streetview, next to the copyright is a "Report a problem" link. Clicking it gives you a few options to choose to have the image removed.

When I went to Google maps just now there was a bew link at the top for google maps labs. But it times out when I click it. Any ideas?

This?

Works fine for me. Has some new features like Lat Lon tooltips and markers, rotatable maps, A "What's Around Here" search and other stuff.

Found myself walking down the street near my house. Skynet knows where to find me now :(

Has he not heard of these things called "curtains"?

Bu the Google vans seem to operate during the day, what with us needing to be able to see what's going on in streetview n'all.

Curtains generally get drawn at night, when the streetview pictsies are tucked up in bed.

Uh?

Curtains come in two parts, the thick drapes that people pull at night, and the light netting that filters light and provide basic privacy.

Unless that's just a strange practise which happens to only happen in all the houses I've been in? :S

Net curtains? Fail.

To: Peter (BOUGHTONP) [#11] 12 Mar 18:08

Yes.

In my pretty limited experience of buying curtains (probably 2 pairs total, ever), they don't come with nets, which have to be bought separately.

We have venetian blinds (of the vertical kind) now, but for many years we only ever had curtains which when opened left nothing but the glass between you and the outside world.

hahaha. Oh Peter, please buy a house you have to furnish yourself soon, it'll be an excellent learning experience.

Nah, he's not grumpy enough, far too good-natured is our Peter. But I'm not sure which one that would make him instead, since the others are obsessed with the ladies. Hm. Maybe we should send him in to audition as a new character.

I am too grumpy enough!

I just try to avoid unproductive moaning about the utter incompetence of the fools I work with.

Agreed.

I admit, I have once bought a net curtain, but I can cancel out that domesticated nonsense because I've never bought a pillow.

Just had a quick look and my house is finally on it. Amusingly it's my dads old car bought around October last year and it's sat on our drive way. It seems they took the photos of the avenue across the road from us on a different day (not sure why) and my dads car is up my grans driveway (no, john) which is at the end of that avenue.
