    Trying to be helpful :(

    It only just gone on line today most of the UK street view

    Initially, Google Street View was fairly controversial with many people complaining about invasion of privacy and such issues. However, those concerns have not stopped Google from expanding the service, because as of tomorrow (11th March 2010), you lucky (or unlucky depending on which side of the fence you’re sat) people in the UK will have access to a total 96% of all roads, streets and avenues across the isles.

    Obviously to inform others, for which I at least am grateful, what exactly was the point of your post?

    What use would that be given that the photos are several months old at least?
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die
