A woman sitting on her front steps had her photograph taken........

:-(

I must tell bro-in-law......... his photograph was taken too! Sitting on a bench on his front porch, drinking something out of a small brown bottle..... I can't confirm that it's beer, but it looks like it.

He's had a lot of stick from his brothers & sister (and in-laws :-D )..... maybe he should sue, because of the embarrassment of being caught drinking!!!!!!

I was caught in really old trousers and daughter's cast-off jumper, when I popped out to the bin at the side of our house, after a few hours delving into the depths of need-to-be-sorted cupboards.

......Clothes one would never been seen in apart from when doing dusty/messy jobs.

They have recently changed our street view so you can no longer see my dirty gurt bum as I lean against the wall, clutching a clinical waste bag and with a cat's tail coming out from under my arm, talking to the bloke next door.

I shall sue too - I have been ostrasized, traumatised, and goodness knows what else a good lawyer could come up with because they HAVEN'T photographed me in my old gardening clothes.
At least I haven't been Australised like LS.

In the cul de sac my house is the only one with a bin outside. Either I was early putting it out or, more likely, slow in putting it away. Oh the shame :-D

Australised? :-S

It's about time the googlecar came back here...... I think the last pics were taken about five years ago... I can tell ~ by the size of the plants in the front garden :-D

I hope they don't come when I'm out the front, watering the pot plants, still wearing my nightie :-(

They photoed my area at school tipping out time. My son managed to get himself pictured about six times by following the car round.

Goodness, they've done a new one where I am - this year, around about July, I would say.
Oh the shame, the leylandii, though cut along the side, is extremely untidy at the top :-(

The forsythia hedge is also in need of a severe hack too :-( :-(

(it still is)

In our local one, our regular postman is pictured crossing the main road.

The only human to be in the vicinity, many on his round have seen the picture and commented to him.

Just as well it was in the morning, lunch time and after finishing he is usually outside the local pub in the summer (inside in winter).

It should tell on the bottom line when the image was taken. Sometimes you can select older images.

Our satellite image was updated about 18 months ago, but the street view is the original.

and all the bathroom walls and wood work
