Blimey, :o did not think they had been anywhere near us :o Photo must have been taken on a Wednesday, post June last year, possibly Summer holidays because all our cars are there and the Mig up the road a bit.  You can see in our front room almost :-/ Wednesday cos all our recycling stuff is out, good job the glass one is covered by another box ::) ::) ::)




Hee Hee Vamps, that reminded me of one of our Relatives in South Yorkshire. She always wraps any drink bottles in tons of newspaper & buries them at the bottom of the bin bag among the household waste. I bet that goes on a lot everywhere, but not here apparently! Our neighbours take a pride in stacking their empty booze bottles as high as they will go without spilling out of the box  :D :D ;D ;D ;D ;D :y

How the hell does this work then? They must have taken video footage and every frame is accessible, because you can see your house from a variety of angles, and even look up to the sky!


Have a read here ... gives the idea quite well ..

As far as I can work out, need to press print screen (top line of keyboard, right of F12) then shift/insert into something like paintshop pro,or similar before saving and uploading to photobucket and OOF.

If that makes sense......   ;)

Find your house then click the little chain button on the right of the page.
Use the top link in the box that appears and it will show the view you're looking at.

Can't tell when mine was taken, but I wish I,d taken the rubbish up the tip earlier and not left it down the side of my house.

The druggy tossers/squatters were living next door at the time by the looks of it. God they made our life hell!!!!!
