Have you had a look at your house on Google StreetView?

[Gromit]

The latest version of Google Earth now has StreetView of every street in the country.

Update GoogleEarth and take a look at your house.

I checked my house this morning, Typical, other houses look OK but because of some fault my grass and trees are purple.

Not for my country it doesn't. My neighbour's house, built 9 years ago, doesn't even appear on Google Earth.

vulcan42: What had you been taking when the camera car came round?

[vulcan]

rojash, I wish I had been taking something, at least that would have worn off.Now my friends are saying their houses looks well and mine looks like a five year old coloured it.

[Gromit]

Rather oddly, the weather changes three times within 50 metres on my street, and judging by the flowers in my window, I would guess the pictures are a year apart.

how to case a street from your armchair, all i need to do now is work out how to get the liitle orange man to break in for me...

You can't believe everything you read in the Daily Mail Gromit, or at least that is always what you tell people, when THEY dare post a DM link.

Hypocrite springs to mind.

[Sachs]

Yes thanks Gromit!

[Gromit]

I link to a variety of sources - not just the same one each time.

Of course, I did check elsewhere, that the Daily Mail item was accurate before I posted it, something you might want to consider doing in the future.
