To snoop on Google Streetview....

When members of my forum post their addresses for Christmas cards, and when Mum's send an email round robin of their addresses so other's can send their children birthday invites?

It depends on the reason behind the snooping. If your judging the person based on where they live then YABU, but if your just being nosey the YANBU.

You can see my cat licking his balls on our drive and you can see ds lying on the couch in his pj's.

Oh definitely nosy. Most of these women are more well off than I am, some of their homes are quite jaw-dropping.

"You can see my cat licking his balls on our drive"

Shock Do they not pixelate cat's faces? What about feline privacy laws?

We recently introduced some friends to this, and the house price information available from the Land Registry. They live abroad, and are astonished that it is possible to snoop so much on other people in the UK! The wife, who is English, was fascinated; her husband, a Continental, was slightly appalled! Grin

House price information?!! Ooh, how do I get that?!

JeremyKylesPetProject · 06/05/2011 11:24

justhalfwaythere · 06/05/2011 11:26

Check out 192.com - it will give out your age and occupation - scary!

I beg her majesty to glance at www.houseprices.co.uk/, which has the information she might require.

pluPassionatelyHatingAntiAV · 06/05/2011 11:44

Sorry, that is: www.houseprices.co.uk/

HRHJoyceOfBarnaby · 06/05/2011 18:59

surely, by definition, pussies don't have balls.

If no one knows you are doing it, and it gives you pleasure, what is the problem? It is not like you are going to break in when you know they are away. Is it?

anotheracademic · 06/05/2011 19:07

If you street view mine , its brings you iup on another house. Its hard to see which one is ours.

bluebump · 06/05/2011 19:13

According to that House Price website we bought our house in 2002 (correct) but sold it in 2008 for 9k less than we bought it for in 2002 (not correct as we still live here!)

bluebump · 06/05/2011 19:14

Oh, DP thinks that's remortage information. Phew, I wondered what that meant!

Mandy2003 · 06/05/2011 21:16

Quite often I've read on the eBay discussion boards that sellers have checked on Streetview to see where their item is going to, to see if it's a decent home I suppose Grin

GwendolineMaryLacey · 06/05/2011 21:19

I love streetview even if I was Envy at the fuck off big house that my job share owns :)

GlassofRose · 14/06/2012 13:21

justhalfwaythere Not every bodies information will be there on 192. It all depends on whether you bother to tick the opt out box on the electoral roll.

SirEdmundFrillary · 14/06/2012 13:25

I'd prefer not to be tracked.

oldraver · 14/06/2012 15:50

I am on Google Street view [proud], I am sitting down outside work (little bakery) stuffing my face with an enormous cream bun. I am literally doing this Shock. It's very attractive.
