    Over the sea to Skye

    On the Skye bridge. All of the UK is now on street view.

    I am glad to say that not all of the UK is on street view. I am delighted to note that "Big Brother" has failed in at least three places that I am aware of. Nice to see that it was raining on the bridge though.

    As is the case more often than most would believe, I am in very strong agreement with Jock.

    We use it to look for camp/caravan sites to see if we like the look of them and other places of interest when going on holiday.

    And to look for the odd shop!

    I rang a friend of mine in Manchester a few months ago and was on street view in front of his house and told him his front door was open. He went to check . Thought it was in real time.

    Although StreetView have now covered Skye, they still managed to miss out a few streets (including mine!) in the village that I live in Kyleakin. Typical!
