I always smiled at this view (http://www.panoramio.com/photo/4007137) taken just down the road from your instructor, always made me smile how the meaning of innocent phrases had changed over a hundred years

According to MCN ( so it must be true ) a guy had a Norton stolen & his garage with other bikes torched - he blames Street View!

The day after street view was launched in the UK, The daily mirror had an article of funny snaps found. I cant remember all of them but one was of the stig standing by the window in the BBC.
