Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms out there!
I had no idea our friends across the pond have their Mum's Day in March... Japan has their Mothers Day (Haha no Hi) the same day we do, so I assumed everyone else I'd, too...

Is the google "streetview" camera in a blue housing? This afternoon, a saloon car with such an assembly drove past our house at about 25 mph. I was too slow to spot the make of car.

It is indeed Richard, here is a picture I took few days ago, I also got a video which I need to upload to daily motion and then embed here. Most definitely you saw a google camera car

Did you win anything?

No, i didnt know what to expect, so went there to check it out myself. all the items were brand new, with the lastest specs, the 2 mac book pro's were i5 processor, as with the imac, and the ipad3 new was 16 gb 3g, and the 3iphones 4s, 2 black and 1 white

the imac went for £700, so the buyers have to pay 20% (£140) on top, making it £840, in the apple shops the same thing is £999, a saving of £150, a right result

the 2 iphones went for £370 to 1 buyers, and the 2nd buyers got the last iphone for £350. 20% apply, same phones on the store are £499, AGAIN, GOOD RESULT

the macbook pro's, both went for £750, they are £999 in the store

there was drama with the ipads, one of them got stolen before the auction got started, the thief ripped the polythene of the ipad box, emptied the box and dissapeared, one of the staff found the empty box, the boss was not happy. they scrambled to lock the doors but it was a loss. the remaining 16gb, new ipad 3 with 3G went for £370, in the store they are £499

Richard Brown, i thought of you today, but before the auction i had no idea what to expect, but now that i know, would highly recommend.

If the thief that stole the iPad ever goes online with it or uses iTunes,it would theoretically be possible to track the location of the iPad.I assume Apple would cooperate if given a valid court order.

theoretically yes, because the auctioneers got the box and the bar code but in reality, someone can jail break the ipad without ever using itunes

Theoretically,they could trace it by the wifi address,even if it's never connected to iTunes.

Let us know if they ever catch the thief.

Thanks, Good Karma.

So, Google is busy updating Bromley.

Now that the street trees etc are well into leaf, views of buildings etc will be partially obscured!
