North Korea is a hoot.

Another Scotland Yard safe house has been blown by an internet sized group of nosy neighbors.

I wouldn't sweat too much, they operate certain places designed to be found as a sort of 'honey-trap' to lure the bad guys. Not all locations are such, but there is an old adage about 'if you want to hide something, make it so clear that nobody thinks twice'.

Your point is valid, and it seems dubious to me that CR4 should host discussion on this. Perhaps Admin could delete all stuff that relates to security and we can continue with an interesting topic.

I'm not sweating at all. It's too cold outside to sweat here. It's only 4°C right now and raining.

Besides there's nobody I know in a safe house in the U.K., unless they moved Frankie out of the country. Even if they did, I'm sure a midget Aleut will blend in there quite easily. Just don't keep anything valuable in your pockets.

In literal terms I'm not sure any house (including the big white one us Brits once torched) is safe.

I was about to have brunch, but I just can't get the image of you sweating or shivering out of my head ! Today we have a fairly balmy 17 degrees, so I'm just chillin' in my boxers. Weather forecast is for much colder soon, so I may have to add my wifes stockings next week. Enjoy lunch .

As long as you had to bring up the issue of burning up our ''big white one'' (in 1814), I don't know for sure that we have been adequately compensated for the associated direct, and collateral, damages therewith...

Full restitution, in current U. S. dollars, should be due to us, on demand, including late charges, etc., and we (former colonials) should now be demanding said restitution, asap...

And, now that I'm thinking about it, the balance of (bailout) funds, etc., stemming from WWI and WWII should also be reviewed...

60 billion (2015 costs of loan)/ UK population is about 1000 USD/pp. I'll accept gift vouchers. Ein vernünftiger Preis, um das Erlernen einer anderen Sprache zu vermeiden.

You can hold your breath waiting for any single red cent...

Yeah, the Canadians only issued a 25 cent denomination. and I don't think you can get enough of 'em.

If you're not Canadian yourself, then who are you to talk?...

I'll refrain from indicating Canada has had some inovative currency. My bad, eh.

Very nice piece of information.

Looks more like the google camera car tried shooting directly into the sun and the flare in the camera washed out the image.

Sun?

I was looking at the photo in the original post, not the image shown by Rixter.

Their is a house in my neighborhood that is similarly blurred out that my friend rents and lives in. It didn't used to be blurred out but is now and is the only house on the street that is. Nothing of note has happened in the house. The only thing I can think of is that the house is for sale and the owners did work on the exterior of the house before it was listed. If you look at street view you see what it looked like before they worked on it. Just a guess but perhaps the realtor would prefer people drive by the house to see what it looks like now instead of view an old image on street view.

I like to visit places where I once lived to see how much it has changed. I visited an apartment house in New York City where I lived about 75 years ago and it hadn't changed one bit in all that time. It's a good place to rekindle old memories. It can serve as a timeline.
