Thanks. I didn’t know the orange man moved.

Cool!
Esplanade hotel in Clacton-on-sea, where my Mom and I stayed in January 2009 when we went over to visit Granny in the nursing home.
Walden way in Frinton-on-sea, where Granny lived for many, many years. I’m not sure if I’ve got the right house, it’s hard to tell them apart without being able to see the street numbers.
I tried to find Quartette, the rental house where my family stayed in August-September of 2008, but apparently it’s on a little stretch of Second avenue that doesn’t have street view coverage, between the Close and Holmbrook way.
I have just taken a look at the house where we used to live until 2004. I notice my former next-door neighbour now seems to have six semi-derelict cars parked on his front garden. There were only two when we lived there. I’m glad we moved away from that idiot!
Yup, Milton Keynes is famous***** for its hundreds of roundabouts and the Concrete Cows. You can find your own link for the roundabouts 
*****in Britain Milton Keynes is well known as a sort of joke location, there’s a little section in Good Omens about it. Bill Bryson says he got lost here.
Finally!
I checked this only 2 days ago and it wasn’t there. I have been waiting for this, as I was walking down the street when a google car went past. If I’m lucky, and that was an image they used, maybe I can find myself.
Anyone found themselves walking down the road yet?
Damn, the images for the street I was on seem to have been taken by a car travelling in the opposite direction to the one I saw.
I wonder when they’re going to do South Africa. I wanna see Johannesburg.
As my mother said to me (from the passenger seat) when I was learning to drive, it’s a limit, not a target 
(In the UK, the national speed limit on most roads is 60mph, or 96.56km/h, so the Irish can speed up a bit as they cross the border into the Republic…)
The Register has a story they call the Surveillance feedback loop showing pictures people have taken of the Google cars along with the Street View images of them taking the pictures.
I’ve just spent the morning walking around the Devon village of Butterleigh.
If that link works, you’re standing in front of the inn where I spent a few days a couple of years ago; when I was really there, I would get up before breakfast and walk around the narrow little hedgerowed lanes or to the top of the hill overlooking the village. And I can do just the same here!
Very cool–I suspect I will spend a lot of time now revisiting places like this I have fond memories of.
I made the mistake of looking at the house that I grew up in. We moved out in 1986 and it’s changed a huge amount - not in a bad way, just changed.
It’s true - you can’t go back. I’m kind of sad now.
Old post officeat Tintagel (Cornwall).
…and a Cornish tin mine.
I’ve found my mum and sister walking down a side road in Wigan. My mum’s staring at the car wondering what’s going on.
That’s great. I’m drawing a blank on finding anyone I know. Bonus points if u find someone in a compromising position!
What were you doing coming out of that bookies! etc etc.
I found a neighbour just round the corner from our house staring at the camera. I have presented a copy of the image to him!
Amusing - I looked that up and thought that the picture was corrupted because the building looked all wonky, but then looking at it more closely I realised it was just the building.
Actually there is a visible “join” in the middle of the left-hand section of the roof, but yes the building is pretty wonky.
In vaguely related news, over in Holland here’s a man disguised as an ATM. Planning on cloning the cards of the local partially sighted community, perhaps? 
I was poking around Manchester a bit, looking for spots of Shameless. Realized that all the council flats look pretty much the same 
It was surprising to see all of the cops milling about, tho, in their day-glo yellow vests!
