I was impressing Anne with the views of our house as you come along the lane, and turning right into our drive. She pointed at a blur and said "What's that?". I zoomed in, and there I was! Fifteen yards up the drive - quite clear. Before all the ladies get excited, the view is not impressive - a 73-year-old, in shorts, strimming the rough grass at the edges of the drive. But I'm on StreetView! I've made the big time!! Phil |

My daughter is also on Streetview - walking towards her car at a farm in Shropshire, 50 miles from where she lives. She looks better than I do, even with her face blurred. Phil |
