Hi Chaps..
Those of you based here in the UK will have seen the BA ad showing the triple7 driving through London. BA have extended this so you can add your post code and have it drive down your street. Quirky but quite amusing

I had deduced that
Just tried it with the first Post Code I came across
After taxying through London it passed through a place called "No image avilable" or something similar

Did you see it go past??
Clever, but it's easy to see how a 777 ended up driving through London...wrong turn on the taxy way...women drivers

Crickey Dave!!!
In a straight line, you live no more than a mile from my Dad's house where I was born and raised (Wallington Close, Bloxwich).
Regards

I told it I live at 10 Downing Street...didn't have an image.
