[Nixie]

you show other people youself, or your home/your favourite pub/bench/shop ect

for numpties who cant use maps?

[Firefox]

Gutted that I'm not there pointing my phone at the Googlecar. Then again, the driver was probably gutted when he discovered that half the little cameras on his roof had gone "skreeeeeeeenk-bosh!"...

Ha, even my tiny little home town is on there. I'm surprised they bothered getting the boat over.

Wow, that looks really nice!

Do you get many tourists?

White Star's in the fridge, lads!


This is, whilst in one respect a but pointless, utterly fascinating. It's a shame you can't go into houses to snoop around... Car not fitting through a door being an obvious physical reason.

Yup, for all its claims to be a fishing and farming community, things would be pretty grim there without tourism.

Orava: That house was where George Mackay Brown lived, pretty sure the plaque is for him. Either that or it says 'Turn around, the view is behind you'.

My house is on there - the camera must have been round some time early in the morning as the curtains are still closed (or I had a hangover )

What an earth is this business with the donkeys?

Looks good Orava, but I dont think FX would make the trip unless they serve super tennents?

[Gokou-Dragonspirit]

They must have taken the new photos ages ago. My house is on there now, but the for sale sign and manky brown window frames are still there. We bought the place last june, replaced the windows in july...

Gift. Horse. Mouth. Look. *edit* (... er, and 'never'. oh and 'in the'. and 'a')

Sure, it's old! But it's an incredible amount of work and pretty awesome to behold!
