I was alarmed by how close google maps can get to your window- they can't quite see through....yet. How marvellous for local crims to be able to study exteriors from the comfort of their 'puters. I hear other maps will be even more detailed, surely this can't be right? Who will be the first to invent some kind of gadget that shields you from these corporate spies.

I updated and live to regret it.


Kent Woolgrowers shop has (since my upgrade-ha ha) relocated to a car park in Ashford just of the station, complete with vert ramps and grind rails, not a rat-trap or Barbour in sight.


Though i'm quite moronically taken with the sat-nav that talks bit.


The way he says "at the roundabout take the second exit onto the A20eehhhhhhh" is fantastic


"Twent-aaaaaaay"


Also, I know London like the back of my hand, but i'm fekked if I recognise any of it on my maps now.


Is this an Apple thang ?


Lastly, why did my contacts go weird on my phone but stay as they should on my mac-Hmmmm, anyone ?

H,


But they only blur faces and so on don't they...not the whole of your house? Don't you have to give them an email address in order to get them to do this too..no biggy, but all extra info for the google meisters. Feels a bit like being the little animal at the watering hole and knowing you are being watched by the great, big hunter..

No it's quite clipped, maybe with a slight wiff of Edinburgh, with a little added "sleaze" to it.


But without the obvious James Bond "Ch-went-aaaaay"


So, one last time


"Twent-aaaaaaaay, oh yesh, Twent-aaaaaaaay times a day baaaay-bbbbby "

      Council "weed" removal

      Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.
