So it's Sunday morning and, as I always do at this time, I'm flying round
the planet on Goo Glerff, surely the single best reason to have broadband.

Sadly, you can't see much of my place (Rhyl, North Wales) as the
definition's a bit poo, and the same applies to my daughter's place in
Weymouth.

By spinning the globe and then zooming in randomly I'm now in Oregon and
have gone for a shufty at Eugene 'cos iirc that's where Kelly is/was. So,
where's everyone else, then? If you don't mind me gawping at your rooftops,
of course, and aren't ashamed of the shabby state of your garden...... :o)

My garden is beautiful and full of flowers - even though it's a bit of a
quagmire this morning. I'm in the home of the British Army, commonly known
as Aldersh*t or Aldergrot

I often read Kelly's posts in ASA so she's still around and about.

Righto Jan, I'll have a butchers this afternoon. Thinking about it, I
shouldn't have made that 'garden' gag, 'cos really nobody should be THAT
precise about their address: that'd be inadvisable. Town, or part of city,
would be interesting, though?

Try the North Lane part, but I'm sure you won't see the roof of Splodge
Towers:)))

You can only see the road where I live, no close ups of it.
My garden is shabby at the moment due to all the rain we have had.
Everything is soggy.
Better pictures of it on my website.
I am still trying to find out where Connie D. is. The last mobile number
I had for her no longer works. Perhaps she dropped it in the hogin.

Try Berwick area TD11 and the Tweed should be meandering at rather a
high rate.

and to where i was on sunday, visiting my mother in kent.

however cambridge (i live to the s-e of the city) is covered with
pretty good scanning. if no-one else asks/offers money/whatever, i
think the quality of coverage is pretty random: the fact that a lot of
google people did their degrees here may well be signficant, though
;-)

when i was working in industry, my last job was in sattelite imagery.
the quality of images you get for rhyl was about the best available,
anywhere, back then. (just before my job was resized -- did nothing
for my waistline -- i got a tape from the japanese space agency with
imagery from their latest satellite, iirc it had a resolution of less
than 10 metres, pretty good for the 1992. looking at my house on GE,
you can clearly see my car; looking at my line manager's house, you
can see washing on the line ... so less than 1 metre is obviously
routine now.
