This is actually quite cool...
Go to Google Maps and type in your home postcode. On the left hand side of the map you will see a little yellow 'man'. Drag the little fella to the street you want to look at and prepare to have pseudo 3D experience type fun...
Our bins are out, must have been a Monday...

Definitely the middle of summer - can't see anything but the corners, the trees are all leafed out (in contrast to the current view out my window, in which only the magnolia is green...).
Reminds me of why I like being at the back of the courtyard...I'm invisible!

I like all these Google map things and I don't. Where is it going to stop?

There's been some classic Google Street Views so far; including a Japanese couple getting "fresh" in Tokyo as the camera van went past
Unfortunately, these classics get taken down by Google pretty quick, so no clickies to share
Where will it all end? It won't. Consider privacy to be a 20th century idea...

You can also use it to see what a complete hole Sc*nthorpe is without having to visit it! Shame there's not a virtual local so I can prove to my friends back in Surrey what this towns like. A town so dire it was turned down for a Primark's..
