Maps

Google Maps now has a street finder facility that's more than a little disturbing.
 
For many of the UK's streets, you can now see photographs of the buildings, pavements and, in some cases, people of the city that you're examining.
 
But it's not necessarily a good idea, as these two links explain....

To right jock disturbing indeed!!! I linked from your blog to google maps and at random went to Polmadie Rd Glasgow only to find a bloke in a Thales van sprawled out sleeping... or at least I hope that is what he is doing :)))

I wish I knew how to save the pic to link to it for you :( Polmadie Rd is not a long road so you should be able to find him it's a gray van. Hope his boss does not read your blog :)
