Just noticed that Google have updated Street View to now include the rest of the UK - now I get to see my angry mother-in-law waving her handbag at the google car as it was driving down her private drive.. lol

WOW :o This is amazing, I can see my house perfectly and work. They really have covered the UK well.. even some country roads that have no people for miles are on Street View.

It's quite unbelievable...

Bloody hell, that's one heck of an update... I live out in "the sticks" and every single country road around my area is fully mapped...

Time to start finding random stuff I think!!
