The news that Northamptonshire has been put on to Google street maps had most of us scurrying to our pc's to see how our houses look on the net.
Obviously the second place any sad-act Poppies fan looked was at Rockingham Road, and see how somewhere we see every week suddenly looks on our pc screens. Not saying that's what WE did, but there are a couple of good views on offer. Our favorites were the view coming down Beatrice Road and the one looking over the wall at the Cowper Street End. That's IF we'd been sad enough to look of course....

What was bloody annoying was seeing my own street. For at least 364 days a year an ignorant t**t from the next street uses our street as his personal parking area for his assorted vans and lorries. I swear to God one of them was left there for 6 solid months one time! There was grass growing on the bloody thing!
Obviously, the day the Google camera van decided to drive up my street it was the one day per year that all his vehicles were in use somewhere, or clogging up someone else's streets. Bugger! The entire world will now never believe me again when I bleat about this dickhead and his parking all over my street. Damn the interweb!
