davidm Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 my work hasn't looked like that since august before the refurbishment so i would guess that's when they were taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonz Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Been trying to work out when these were taken.Going past the Fire Station on Anderson Drive shows the new station is still under construction (Fire Station N Anderson Drive - Google Maps) and according to the GFRS website the station was officially opened on the 8th Dec 2008. From memory i'm fairly sure it was opened pretty quickly after being completed so i'm guessing these pics must be from around Oct 08. Anyone got any other rough estimates?

Lemonade Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Last summer I reckon....Well here's my old flat:I know it was when I lived there cos those are my plants in the window. I moved out of there in August last year, so it must have been before then. Plus the flowers outside suggest summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 My brother in that picture is wearing a Dark Knight t-shirt, which he got for his birthday in July last year. Also, his hair is a fuck load shorted than it is now. I'm guessing August '08. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Just seen Rathen's post. So because we're such legends, we know it was either July or August last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can also add this:The new Holiday Inn at the Exhibition Centre was still being built (though looks almost complete) and that opened in September.

Anyone got any other rough estimates?Yeah, by the state of the new station, you are about right ( I work for GFRS and spent plenty time taking photos of the new station, I will check and get a more accurate date)I found myself parking my car outside my house. It's well spooky like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 They spent a long time doing this, so it would be safe to say it was from July - November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogofish Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Yup, middle/latter third of last year would be my guess - Again, construction work at the end of my road gave it away.I see they have updated the Aberdeen aerial photos as well - For the last couple of years, I have had a very impressive looking washing on the line in my garden, which is gone now.

paranoid Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Nah, no different to someone walking down the road.In fact, people probably see more of my house by walking past it than you see on this. They have fuzzed out our car number plates so I couldn't give a flying fraggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest treader. Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I've already found one car registration they haven't blanked out. It's remarkably close to Teabags' brother although...I doubt those two facts are related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever.I figure where my car is will probably give away my location.My car isn't parked at my old flat, or at my girlfriends, so it'll probably either be at my new flat or at my work, but I can't check because they haven't done the city centre yet.

Dianne Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 there's a whopping great bus right in front of my house, how annoying! i can't have a look in the windows or anything. i've also found a few cars with the reg plates not blurred out.Google launches Street View in UK | Business | guardian.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Anyone have any privacy issues with this latest "innovation"?I've spent the last 20 minutes zooming into the windows of people I know. Nothing exciting to report as of yet.On a slightly less sinister note, my friend's reg plate wasn't blurred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
