Google maps "street view" is all live for the UK as of today, London has lots of coverage and other major towns do too. Friends were just down Hythe seafront, one said "wouldn't it be cool if we could get into Google street view" and SUDDENLY THE GOOGLE STREET VIEW VAN WENT PAST! How spooky is that?
Look out for it, surveying a street near you...
This is my website The FG that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came here sometime in 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite venues and stuff, and I know it was a useful reference for others who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. I am not Gerald BTW, this comes from a fake paper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
