Well the pics of me were a bit of a quandry as from one street you can see me and the car but from directly outside the house Im not there and neither is the car,
now i was there when he drove past and know that if you wave at the car then your image wont be used so maybe thats why as when he passed the first time (going down the street) my son did not wave at the car and on the return he did so they must have had to do two passes of the street just because my lad waved, this makes me happy :cheesy:

on my pics it looks like im getting a shotgun out of the car, i promise you it was nothing of sort officer :oops: its just my sons travel blanket thing i was throwing over my shoulder, honest Guv.

I feel quite honoured at finding myself on there, but then taking a year out to play at Daddy daycare i stood far more chance of being pictured than someone like Welly the grafter i s'pose :roll: .

Back to the earlier conversation about Opels in Ireland, I thought of another brand that was de-union jacked.....Reebok!! No Union Jacks on any Reebok products in the land of Ire.

I haven't found much I'd like to look at yet, the two houses that I've lived in for longest are too far off the beaten track. I can just see the house in GB I currently own but it's up the end of a close and I guess they couldn't be bothered to go to the end & turn round. Obviously there's no streetview for Croatia, best I can do is the satellite pic of my house looking like a lego brick. I can't make out any cars. And it's 3 years old.

I did find my nephew Robbie outside my brother's house in Hoddesdon, with a very perplexed look on his face:

I was hoping for a surveillance feedback loop on the pictures I took of them, but streetview is showing the pictures on the main road as the ones they took previously, and the car at the time was going in and out of streets and looking a little lost (which is why it is sideways in a junction in the last pic) so they must just be updating the little streets they didn't get with the first sweep!

I can just about see my old Xantia in the work car park.
