Hurrah! Now I don't even have to leave my cliff top mansion to explore the delights of those grimy back streets behind Ramsgate's trendy East Cliff!With the launch of Google Street View in Thanet today, I can now fester in front of the computer, trusty bottle of Morrisons Morrinov vodka by my side, and stumble around the Millionaires' Playground without even lifting a foot. Plus my foot will now be less plastered in dog doo-doo from having to negotiate the festering pavements hereabouts! It's a win-win! Although Google will insist on labelling Ramsgate as Margate. Idiots.
Hang on. What if the local ne'er do wells get wind of this new service courtesy of California's billionaire internet boffins? They could case my cliff top mansion without even having to mooch around outside, looking suspicious. Nah. On second thoughts, they're all way too stupid. I've had a good sniff around our Sandy's gaff in Broadstairs though. Nice carpets!

Who's the thick twat on the right, in the picture( with his arm raised)
Well done! you're pictured forever mate.
I lived in Thanet 30 years ago and just took a virtual walk down Margate high street and front. What's happened? All the boarded up shops and arcades and so many people with funny walks?
ECR, I think you should add a few user views from you vast range of pics. I am sure one of Age@ Son will get you a freebie.
How do we get to use this? The google site doesn't seem to offer street view for Thanet.
You missed a good one the other night ECR went to see Jo Caulfield at Canterbury, she said her sister had moved from London to Ramsgate thought it was up and coming and moved back! just before the fast train! Suggested Margate might be a town where most people are grandmothers at 32 and all the teenagers were pushing prams in track suits, just about sums it up wouldnt you say! She was so good i am still chuckling about her jokes! A friend took me as i was very down in Jan after coming back to Thanet after being in the sunshine abroad! Problem is it always is the same whenever i get out i hate coming back.7 year sentence left, until my youngest finishes school !then i will have served my sentence in Thanet!
Don't know if you noticed but the blighters at google refer to our fair town as Margate in the top left thingy. How dare they!
Yes, 7:14am. Blighters indeed.
And the way to get Street View is by going to Google, clicking on maps, heading for whatever you're interested in, then dragging the little person in the top left hand corner onto the street or house you want to case for your next burglary.
7.07am. I can't wait for you to go either.
I have a tune called this.
7:07 why don'y you fuck off now?
They say every picture tells a story...
