    There was me thinking I was safe from this for ages as we live in the middle of nowhere.

    How embarrassing! We are indeed covered and my house looks dreadful. It still looks dreadful but at least the drive isn't up with piles of tarmac all over the place anymore :(. My car is clean at least! I could probably date it best based on the car being clean.

    Tried to find H's car at work but it was done at a very different time to our own house - ust be about a year - as the driveway people were doing both houses at the same time and the barn looks virtually untouched, let alone ready for a driveway. How insanely boring for anyone but me :rotfl:

    I find it useful tool for looking at an area not just house buying. Until today I found bing maps better with there birds eye view but street view is even better

    I can see every house I can think that we've owned now. One of them has a distinctly dodgy uPVC door which is not sympathetic to the character, in fact not very sympathetic to anything. My door was beautiful, period style to replace a horrific 60s thing. I painted it black and bought lovely chrome door furniture for it. It's now white and the glass semi-circular window over the door is now plastic tongue and groove?! Nice.

    We've only got your word for that. :rotfl:

    One thing I wil find the extended coverage useful for is for those times when I'm driving to a new area and I just want to clarify any features i need to check for navigation or perhaps any complex road layouts.

    Im on it twice - one in town shopping - and again on a break in sunny blackpool - ive been waiting for these to come out after seeing the car - its strange because if you move to different points on the street you can see family members in different positions (sons swinging round a lampost on one lol)

    Funny stuff and a little bragging rights cheers OP.

    They haven't updated us. The house hasn't changed, but we wrote off that car nearly 3 years ago. Should I complain?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
