I know Google has been criticised over their Street View service and as a result started blurring people's faces for privacy, but I think that this is taking things too far...
Click me!

I mean, everyone knows who he is anyway!

Yes! Very good shoes. Was it my website link that gave it away or post 88 where I previously explained myself?

"The picture VERY CLEARLY showed my bed. "

Good Lord, not your bed, surely! Sarah, unless you happened to be sprawled on your bed at the time, lathering yourself up with chocolate sauce, or whatever your preference is, then there's not much I'll see that I couldn't also see in a furniture catalogue, or on the Ikea website.
Apart from wheelie bins, there's nothing that gets people on this site foaming at the mouth more than Google Street View. It honestly makes me wonder what you're all so worried about people seeing!
PS. For the hoards of burglars poring the photo of my house online, the photo's years out of date. I've had a shark infested moat installed since that was taken.

People you'd have to stab said:
I don't like the idea of people seeing the layout of my home so clearly. All those that say burglary hasn't increased must be living on cloud cuckoo land,. This should never have been allowed.

All you sados who say it makes it easier to plan your routes should have concentrated on your geography lessons and learnt how to read maps, plan routes, etc. You sound as if no one has ever planned a journed before google ever came along - so sad and stupid - and plain lazy.

" 'People can check out a restaurant before arriving, make travel plans, arrange meeting points, get a helping hand with geography homework, or just get to know their town better,' a Google spokesman said. "

While roving thieves can decide where it'll be most worthwhile to break into, before they go out robbing.

Good job I didnt see it, I would have thrown a brick at the car, no one asked me if I wanted my house splashed all over the Internet, so much for Data Protection, and what about all the kids who play in my street are they photographed as well.? this is a buglers dream come true.

Typical Nu Labour, snooping and spying on all of us, Im never using google again, hope they go bust, there are plenty of search engines out there that dont help NU Labour spy on us and our children

I have every right to privacy ! How dare this shameless country post pictures of my house on the Internet for the whole world to see !!! For all you suckers saying anyone one see my house walking down the street , it is like saying, people can see me walking down the street but that doesnt mean I want pictures of me posted on the Net !!!

Ask Google to remove as many photos of the UK as possible - if you ask, they have to remove the photo.

A bugler is a person who plays the bugle, a trumpet-like instrument with no valves or other pitch-altering devices. All pitch control is done by varying the player's embouchure.

Not sure why a bugler would want to look at photos of kids playing in the street though?..

It is a little known fact that all buglers are shameless voyeurs. Buglers the world over will sleep content tonight.

Apparently, 'bugler' can mean 'cocaine user', so I have found...

Perhaps thay sell the photos to fund their habit..

It is a little known fact that as well as a penchant for voyeurism, all buglers have a cocaine habit. It helps them blow.

Another interesting thing is that rhyming slang for 'nose' is 'Florence' - the reasoning being that 'nose' is 'bugle' because of the noise made when blowing it, the rhyme is then 'Florence and Dougal' - rather circuitous, I know, but I'm assured that it is 'true'..

I'm thinking of changing my name to "the artist formerly known as Florence"
I'm going to see if my house is on...
