to try and get Google Street View to retake the photos of our house?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

After perusing, GSV last night, I was horrified and completely dusgusted to find that the images of our street were taken on BinDay.

So, there's my semi, in all its glory, with 2 gofaster bins wanting strewn across the pavement in front of my bushes. Tawdriness and ugliness preserved for all the world to see and judge upon.

And one of the Chaotics hadn't drawn their curtains naicely.

It's not just about what the neighbours think nowadays is it? The whole world can formulate opinions as to your slovenly habits.

AIBU to try to get the pictures reshot now I have petunias and a hoovered drive?

The good news is the lawn was just as crap then as it is now...

mine has a gopping rolled up carpet in front

they wouldn't retake it. I know, I asked em

we had to actually move house

Just had a look, and ours shows the old windows and front door as well as the load liner from DHs old truck propped up against the fence. Must be a couple of years old now.

Ours is quite good - lovely sunny day in June/July I think - everything looks rosy, but our bedroom curtains are shut. DH critised me for "still being in bed" when the photos were taken (I was on mat leave with DS).

You can see my FIL hanging washing out on the street view of their house! FIL is well chuffed as it is evidence to MIL and the WHOLE WORLD that he does actually do some housework!

Our house sits on the corner of two roads. The gsv for the roads were done on different days before we lived there - one road has the house with the old windows being ripped out, the other road has no signs of work and shiny new windows!

YANBU

Ours has a van parked in front of it so you can't actually see it!

I would like them to offer a photo retouching service. I would pay for this. Would be a lot cheaper than having the house repainted.

That's so funny GG

Ooh, we've not got street view. I shall stay inside forever more just in case they sneakily do it.

You lot.

I wanted a right roasting.

You all agreed with me.

I'm rather partial to the Move House In Shame tactic - nice one SpringHeeledJ.

I can see my jugs in the window on my Street View

Oh you so need my double entendre thread, TAT.

SHOW ME THE WAY

My house has a white van parked in front of it A White Van!!

Will I be able to get them to photoshop 'Ocado' onto it do you think?

Mine does not exist on Google Street View. Huzzah! It's a magic house!

like your poo?

Ds1 is on a couple of shots of our street, shooting the street view vehicle with a stick. I'm so proud

I wish there weren't all those hairy-handed truckers lurking - I'd love it if we could could put our postcodes so we could all see each others' houses.

If we timed it correctly, we could wave at each other

thankfully mine was done on bin day AFTER the recycling lorry had been so noone can see the number of empty wine bottles. I want to keep the picture as it is because the house now desperately needs painting and the garden tidying up .

Perhaps Google gave the binmen the cameras to take the pictures of Chaos's everyone's streetside shame? Cunning money saving tactic.

Chaos - I have not had an angel poo since I posted it on Mumsnet. I think one of you buggers stole them

I'd obviously forgotten to open the sitting room curtains that morning. All the neighbours' sitting room curtains are open, so it looks as though our house is occupied by hermits.

We have had a porch since the photo was taken so ours is out of date. Plus you can see the iron on the windowledge in the bedroom. Could be worse I could have been gardening or something.

Why, sparkling? Do you do the gardening in the nude?
