Hi Al !

Thank you for the pictures ... how nice of you and your good lady to go and check out Our Robert !!  :D

The 74 Rockfield Rd photo is cool .... without going through everything - I believe that's where Robert's Mum was living isn't it ??  ::) now you've made me stop and think ... I'd better check for sure !!  :D :D

I should also have said welcome to our sometimes crazy thread !!   ::)

Annie  :)

74 Rockfield is where Robert was born, Annie. The family home.

I've hesitated to put that one on the website - it's someone else's home now.

Just as I found it you tell me Shaun !!  :D

That's what happens when you get old ..... you remember seeing things but can't remember where !!  :D :D :D

Maybe we can keep it on the back burner if by any chance we ever get permission to use it !!

Thanks for posting the picture Al. It's a lovely house and in very good order. Is there a basement - it looks a little larger than some terraces?

Not sure about taking photos of other's houses .... people must do it unwittingly all the time .... and now google are doing it/have done it with their "street view." Looking at the blinds on that house and the one on the left, it looks a bit like offices rather than someone's home?

Hi All

Ruskie the blinds in the houses are the up-market vertical blinds so many
people have here in England in-stead of nets.

I am still with nets myself  :) I don't like the way folk can see in even if at an angle.

Not that I have anything worth looking at.

Can not see anything legally wrong with someone's house on the internet.  :-\

Estate agents have hundreds on-line as you also said google are now doing the
same. Might be polite to ask though in hindsight.

Not just Google... :o :o :o

There is website called www.zoopla.co.uk which will give you a 360 degree 3d view of ANY address in the country!!! :o :o :o

They didn't ask my permission, no registration needed.... ::) ::)

AND they tell everyone how much your house is worth and how much you paid for it... >:( >:( >:(

Try it...Spy on your neighbours! See how the house price credit crunch is affecting your friends!  Oooh errr!!  :o :o :o :o >:( >:( >:( ::) ::) ::)
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Goodness me Son you had me really worried there.  ;D ;D ;D

No details for ours thank goodness. We brought it too many years ago.

Luckily we know how much the folk paid for their recently next door and it ain't
right nor is the date of sale as they had already moved. Sigh of relief.  ;D
