Google street view - seize the moment!

Just thought I'd post this as I found this on another forum

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&so...79.54,,0,22.19

Has anyone else found anything particularly interesting?

I always smiled at this view 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!

not really interesting but I found our works van parked on the pavement outside the midland hotel in manchester. The last time I remember working (and parking) there was about a year or so ago...

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.

Oh, and my friends dad can be seen crossing the road where he lives :lol:
