Weve had it painted you see, and on their site it currently looks like it did 8 years ago with overgrown bushes and leaves in the path, plus our old clapped out banger which weve now upgraded to a nice shiny newer one.

aibu to ask google earth to come back and photoshop our new house in place of the old wreck it was. obviously if theyd of give me some warning last time i could of tidied the front a bit and parked outside my neighbours so they'd of had to park their nice bmw outside my house Smile.

im sure people google my address when i go for jobs and see this wreck and steer clear of inviting me in.

i think it should be made law google earth have to come back every so often to update pics Smile

YANBU
Himself is mouth agog head cocked to oneside looking rough as a badgers arse. Lowers the tone no end. If I had a bit of notice I could have hired a stand in.

Just near my house on Google Street View, a chap is cycling across the square with his fishing gear on his bicycle.

For ages I thought he was cycling backwards. I then realised I was 'clicking' along the road in the opposite direction to the sequence of photos.

I am a tit.

DH was telling his ma on the telephone about Google Street View, saying that he was looing at her house - she asked him if he could see her as she was standing by the kitchen window, waving.

MIL is an even bigger tit than me.

The Google guy must've gone home midway up my parents street, on one image their car is on the drive, it's cloudy and the house opposite is a tip, scroll forward one click and it's sunny, the car has gone and the house opposite has been revamped!

My friend contacted Google and asked them to remove her house because she's private has a very messy front garden and they did. You can still see it from a distance though because they don't remove it from every shot.

I would like them to come back so I can open the bedroom curtains which are currently shown as being closed during the day.
