    Re: News - Google Street View covers almost all of Britain's roads

    Some of these pictures must be very recent.
    I've had my new car for a month from today, and I've just seen it parked in front of my girlfriend's house on the Streetview.

    Also, just noticed. There's daffodils in the photo. They've been out for a week, maximum. Fully bloomed aswell.

    dates around here vary, the price of petrol over the road was 85p, in another couple of shots the date varies by a couple of months depending on what angle you look at a theatre from.

    Gotta be getting on for 12months old here, as I can see my old faithfull Escort parked outside. Dom't mind the invasion of privacy so much now, as brings back memories.

    Yeah - definitely cool. Spotted this on Friday and had most of the office looking at it, finding every place they had lived and places of friends etc. You could just here the echoes of "Oooohhh!!!!! Its my house" ringing about. Well, it was a Friday!

    The fact is, if somebody wanted to rob a house etc, they wouldnt bother with street view, because the images are out of date and you'd get far better intel by walking past a house. A criminal will get more information and better information by walking past your house. This brings less risk of crime than your average persons facebook page!

    Did they have Google in 1992?
