UK Street View update - 96% roads covered.

Completely off-topic, but it may be of interest to Anglophiles...

Google have released a giant update to the UK street view coverage (the panoramic photos taken from Opal Astras with funky camera gear on top), taking it from a few major cities and patchy coverage elsewhere, to (they claim) 96% of UK roads.

Here's a few highlights, (inevitably) from Land's End to John O'Groats, plus a few extra locations thrown in for good measure.

Lizard Point (most Southerly point)
Land's End (most Westerly point)
Clifton Suspension Bridge
Severn Bridge

Aberystywth (mid Wales)
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
          (the long name was coined by a cobbler to drum up tourism... needless to say, it's a very dodgy rendering of the language!)
Menai Bridge

Blackpool (famous for it's tower)
Sellafield (fancy some plutonium?)

Gretna (marriages!)
Forth Rail Bridge
Loch Ness (What's that smudge? It used to look like this...)
Drumnadrochit (look at the user photo - that sign used to look a little different...)
Dunnett Head (most Northerly point)
John O'Groats (most North Easterly point)
Twatt (I kid you not!)
Gloup, Shetland (about as far North as you can go!)

Here be Vampires!
The town that doesn't exist... (Victorian entrepreneur laid out the roads for a new resort but largely failed to sell the adjoining land)
Naked Lady! (Thought that would get your attention)
Kenilworth Castle
Meet Will! (Or at least, the home of the RSC)
