Ahha! the bus stops are showing 27, which means it was prior to the bus number changing to the S5. Sadly, I can't read the digital signs on the bus stops...

I found a roadworks sign saying "Work Starts on 08th July 2008 for 10 weeks" and on the Rugby Club, there's a sign advertising a fete on the 5th July.

This rollercoaster ride is a thrilling insight into the minds of the unemployed students.

Church clock says it is 5 past 6, and another clock says 6 o'clock that is a 5 minute drive from there. Judging by the amount of traffic, and the pubs look shut, I think it must be am, OR both clocks have stopped. The Swan is, confusingly, displaying an A board outside and has its door open.

I see they have re-done things so for example Ikea is now in place in the centre of Southampton

I do quite like the front for this shop

It is definitely an amalgamation of a more than one time point of data. Following one car down a street and it suddenly disappears, then is present again in the next frame.

If you ever see someone going past your house in a Golf shouting "POWER" every time the turbo kicks in, it's probably me.

I went down my old road as far as it would go, but it stops short of where I used to live. To be fair my house fell into the sea, so the Streetview car driving to my actual house would have lead to at least one person's untimely death off of a cliff, but as there is a slight bend in the road I can't see how much further that which used to be my road has now eroded.

I feel a bit sad at that.

Just went to my house. The pics are OLD, I've still got my old white garage door. No car (pics seem to be in the morning as there's schoolkids walking past) in sight, alas.

I've just sat outside myp and Ange's house, virtually touching myself. The mypmobile is still present. Other beexer's houses less interesting.

I can tell the day that they went past my cousin's house as there are balloons and a banner on the door, celebrating his 1st birthday, which they had put up for his birthday party that day.

Can anyone help me with this? How do I get a URL of a place I'm looking at on street view.. I'll explain..

Say for example, I start by typing in my home postcode and looking at my house. I then zoom about (while still in street view) to my friends house just up the road. I can't go straight to his as I don't know his post code etc..

If I wanted to send him a link that went straight to his house, how do I do it? The link that's in the address bar is still my house that I originally searched for using my post code.

You see that massively tall hedge on the left-hand side of our house? That's now the same height as the other one now. That was cut down about a year ago.
