The street view doesn't make me paranoid. The latest sat view of Google
does that. The pic of my place has just been replaced / updated after having the same low res shot for maybe 2 years or so.
As I have said in a previous post, basically a nosey neighbour can peruse the detail of your backyard from the comfort of his/her lounge chair.
He doesn't have to wait till you're asleep and put a chair up to your
fence. He doesn't even have to share a fence!
He could, for example, see that you collect vintage cars...or are building
a boat (or an ark
)) maybe.
He could see that you are building an air raid shelter and panic that
maybe he won't get an invite at armaggeddon
Councils used to have to purchase satellite pics to compare to building applications and catch people out building stuff not approved.
They had to sign disclaimers before getting pictures.
Now they can get it for nothing.
The general public can now get it for nothing!
I'd like to plant a row of small shrubs to spell out:
F... Off MSN and Google, but with the water restrictions I'd
probably spell out : U K an Ogle
