Dawlish Man
Excuse my ignorance, but who are the Barton brothers?
Looking at the areas I grew up in (or been on holiday to), to see how they've changed, is one of the reasons why I love Street View! Apparently 60% of users use to help them get directions to a destination, whilst 25% use it to find their next home. Others use it to take a peek at the next holiday destination (great idea!). It's such a pity that people in this country are so full of cynicism.
All faces and car registration plates are blurred out. If anyone is unhappy about the contents of any image, they can click on the Report button, and Google WILL deal with the complaint. I wonder if anyone photographed in the old postcards (on the other thread) complained about their civil liberties being taken away??! Whilst appreciating your point of view, I can't see the link between Street ...
'Dawlish Rocks My Socks' is a group on there that I belong to. Likewise the one called 'Dawlish Warren'. There are plenty of other group too that are much more than just one person's ego-trip. So. Who ARE these brothers?
Er, it's not a real-time video or, dare I say, CCTV!!! It's a snapshot, or a collage of photos if you prefer, apparently taken around Christmas 2008 but only published today. You've obviously never seen it, yet you're morally outraged! A typical Daily Mail reader, I'd say. So, I ask again. How does it invade ones privacy? Sensible answers only this time please.
Invasion of privacy in what sense? Serious question.
You can now take a tour around Dawlish by going onto Google Maps and using their Street View tool! See if you can spot yourself, your car, or your mobility scooter...
Er, thanks Donald, I'll bear that in mind in future. My birthday is on the aptly-named glorious 12th. MATRON!!!
For the record I'm 5'10". Inside Leg is 30". Shoe Size 10. Shirt Collar 16. Aged 42. IQ 154. NEXT!
Thank you for posting the link to those old postcards - there are some truly wonderful images there. In fact I think I saw User4549 on one of them! I never realised that Fairfield House was a Guest House in years gone by. I'm not going to go all Daily Mail on you, but sometimes you do wish that you could turn back the clock to bygone ages. Thanks again for sharing the link.
