    By far a bigger problem to your privacy are things like 192.com where people for a fee can obtain just about anything about you including your address who else lives there when you were born when you were married (if you were) when you divorced how many children you have etc etc etc.

    192.com is easy to avoid. Ex directory and make sure your not on the shortened electoral register (you can still vote as your on the main one) they sell on and you don't appear

    I'm a bit shocked, I have just found me on 192.com

    I want to remove the information, especially my telephone number... which 192 claim online was given to them from my telephone supplier.

    Funny that because i have been on TTP for donkeys years.

    What do i do?

    Do you mean TPS? If so that does not affect 192.com. If you appear in the BT phone directory you will appear on 192.com.

    What are the chances of google earth catching me doing something i am not supposed to...oops... there are two different shots of me outside my address and you can totally see my underwear in one!! lol

    Mortifying!

    The other shot i was saving the planet and smuggling empties into a neighbours recycling box as it was the day for collection and the collectors dont always empty the various bags as well as the box we usually have (we are big recyclers) lol

    Looks like i was going thro their recycling bin.

    Thats what i get for not noticing google earth pass by!!

    But thieves can still walk past your house, or park across the road to eye your place up, even if you get your picture removed.

    But maybe the people walking past have not got Google vision! ;)
    Gone ... or have I?
