Good , bloody good , bunch of crooks . They are being fined for things they are not doing while they are getting away with tax , swings and roundabouts policy to skip around international tax agreements . Their satellite photos in this district are taken by plane every five years or so . I have met the man who has the contract for the Horizons district council a few times . He also takes the photos of our QE2 blocks if it suits with the bigger plane . Both google maps and bing maps use the same photos taken by him , cloud pattern is the same with bing having better colour . I don't doubt most of google pictures on google maps are flown . Bing maps at least has the sense to say they are aerial for the most part .
crayons: i doubt anyone understands that what you see as the Top Twenty News stories, top Biz Service's was payed for... Googler has always been 'pay to play'.
if you want unbiased uncensored searches go to "duckduckgo" Ixquick is great but it mirrors googler.
Looks like the EU-Elite's Slushfund is running low!
