Observing the maps, I noticed mostly everyone is from the UK, US, and Canada. There are very few other Europeans, yet I know there are more on the BD. And what about the Aussies? I find it rather strange that not a single person from Australia has labeled themself on any of the maps....

Nope, I counted seven on the BW's map, five on Hookbill's, and one on mine who don't fall in the UK, US, and Canada category...

I like the satellite imaging feature, I can see right into my attic window! And what places are like where Downers live! But this is an old image as my old neighbours' car is still there and they left two and a half years ago. I must've been out because my car's not there.

Wow, I hadn't checked the satellite version out until now. It's kind of freaky to be looking at your own house.

No one better stalk me. Actually, they can't- I'm moving away in a month.

Quite amazing, isn't it ... and slightly scary too.

I finally get to see exactly where the flat roof mentioned in the survey on our house is.

Indeed. The image omits two houses on our road that must have been built since it was taken.

My allocated location on the map, however, is the middle of a field some miles from my house. Which I rather like, although really it should be centered on the tall and most magical tree in a somewhat enchanted wood.
