Regular?

No not your bodily functions?

It’s no secret here that if you are looking for me I’ll be at my regular Coffee Shop for an hour every day sometime between 10:00am and 1:00pm.
It’s my hour off! I have my usual table, peace and quiet, a snack and attempt the DT crossword. (Yesterday when I walked in a young couple moved from ‘my’ table, unnecessary but nice, of course I thanked them!)
Suppliers and customers use it as a drop off point for mail, printing, pamphlets, stock items etc.
It’s my meeting place of choice, be it business or private if you need me you know where I am.
Imagine my surprise when I received this e-mail from a nephew:-
“Hi Uncle S

Just wanted to show you that you on Google streetview. Awesome!!

Regards,

Parliament Street - 'streetview'

You have probably guessed by now, my car is on the Google streetview image, parked outside ‘my’ Coffee Shop.

Proof indeed that I am a regular.

Have you been streetviewed? Are you a regular somewhere? Can you prove it?

The youngsters think that it’s ‘cool!’

By the way the obscured images at the bottom of the windows in the launderette are merely offering twelve rand ‘specials’ – no such thing as a free advert on Google!

  1. I have Soutie walking my dogs. I never looked for it myself didn’t even know it was there, I was told by several people who had seen it. I had seen the van doing tours of the area and had thought nothing of it.

  2. I hope that is not coffee shop as in “Amsterdam coffee shop” 🙂

  3. Mrs M. and nephew were immortalised by Google on the front doorstep, Soutie.

    Being the consummate professional that she is, she turned to keep her good side to the camera throughout.

    Won’t give you the link. Lots of strange people out there in the cyber world.

    I see Peteyboy is back on MyT indulging in AB triumphalism. I agree with you that they were very lucky to keep 15 men on the park for the whole game. Two yellow cards, in my opinion. I blame Kaplan, but then I always do that anyway.

    Doesn’t alter the fact that Peteyboy will be going very quiet next year when the AB’s bottle it as usual in the World Cup. Going to be particularly satisfying when they do it at home C’mon the Bokke in the real world and Scotland in my dreams.

  4. Oh! one other thing.

    I also received links to my house and other family members, very pleased to report that lawn, garden and building all looked neat and tidy.

    Even if close up I think that a coat of paint is needed! 😦

  5. Hee hee JM, I take it that you’ve seen my responses to his ‘we are better than the rest’ posts, he wasn’t a frequent visitor last year was he?
