Dorset now live on Google Street View


GOOGLE’S controversial Street View is going live across Dorset today.

The addition of Bournemouth, Poole and the surrounding area has been long anticipated since Google’s modified camera cars were spotted at work here almost a year ago.

And the images they took will now be accessible around the globe after Google launched almost full UK coverage in the early hours of this morning.

The innovative online photo-maps will allow any internet user to wander around the county’s towns and villages virtually.

Have a virtual wander at maps.google.co.uk - and let us know if you spot anything untoward!

They should have given us notice.
How are we supposed to organise a 'group moon' when we don't know when to expect the camera car?
Wasted opportunity.

Dear Google Street View,
Please come back and do my house again. We've got a new shed and now your entire site is out of date.
Your pal, etc,

Yeah, they're probably down from Bournemouth, visiting a relative in the Verne.

I notice that if you look at housing estates (such as tricketts cross) about 90% is missed out. The circle they did was not even the bus route.

And they probably moved to Bournemouth from a real chav-infested living hell-hole of a dump...somewhere like Weymouth.

Migratory patterns of the common chav.
Frequent trips between brownmouth and weydump, hiding in the toilets on the train.
