Has any one checked out google street view on google maps, Cities covered are: Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Coventry, Derby, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Norwich, Nottingham, Oxford, S****horpe, Sheffield, Southampton, York, Belfast, Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cardiff and Swansea.
It's quite freaky how much detail you can see. For those who don't like big brother, it blares out license plates and faces !
It even caught my mrs and little girl walking home from school.

| I don't like it, looked down my street you can see my big ass LCD tv through the windows and my friend down the road standing in her front doorway with her daughter. Plus it's well out of date already anyway my house looks totally differant since these pics were taken and i dont have the same car anymore, they have to be at least 6-8 months old. |

It's fun but the novelty soon wears off IMO. Bit too intruding if you ask me.
