Last year they must have done their update aerial photos on the Saturday of our show. I do car park control and so got captured as a black blob in between the cars in the area in the south east corner of the grounds. |

I'm on google earth - here ... So is my cat... Street View, that is. But this was 2 houses ago, and sadly she's now long gone - but she was good-natured and fun, and lived to 15. Edited By Mick B1 on 16/07/2023 21:04:32 |

That cat flap looks very thin! If it is a letter box, spare a thought for the poor postie! One needs to be very careful with Google (satellite or van). I have known it come up in judicial proceedings. The cat flap was in the back door. We had it set to 'out only', because we didn't want Jerry bringing in mice or dismantled mouse components. She learned to get in anyway, by banging the catflap against its stop until it bounced enough for her to get her nose underneath, but she couldn't do that and hold prey at the same time, so it worked very well. |

Had to do a double take to see different markings. Regards Ian. |

![]() 1545 forum posts 484 photos | When we lived in France, we had friends in the nearby village who had a holiday cottage which they only used a few times a year. Neither of them were computer-savvy and when I showed them the street view of their holiday home on Google Earth, we were astonished to find that the camera car had captured the gentleman outside his front door, putting the rubbish bag out for collection. Imagine our further astonishment when, on looking up their address in the UK, lo and behold, there he was again, putting out the rubbish again! What are the chances of that happening, I wonder? John

![]() 3988 forum posts 1799 photos | Hi, you won't see a street view of my place, nor that of my nearest neighbour, as we are down a 300 meter private track, which they would have no legitimate reason for coming down. But you can see our houses on the satellite image, although mine is just the roofs, but you can see my car, but not what type or make it is, but if I was outside when they took it, I was probably under a tree canopy or in one of the dark shadows cast by the house. Regards Nick. |
