Is it me or does it look like the top of BB has been stuck on?

I'd like to see a lady in red

wikipedia

A tower was built at Westminster in 1288, with the fine-money of Ralph Hengham, Chief Justice of the King's Bench.[7][8]

The present tower was raised as a part of Charles Barry's design for a new palace, after the old Palace of Westminster was destroyed by fire on the night of 16 October 1834.

The new Parliament was built in a Neo-gothic style. Although Barry was the chief architect of the Palace, he turned to Augustus Pugin for the design of the tower, which resembles earlier Pugin designs, including one for Scarisbrick Hall. The Clock section was added later by Pugin just before his final descent into madness and death, and Pugin himself wrote, at the time of Barry's last visit to him to collect the drawings: "I never worked so hard in my life for Mr Barry for tomorrow I render all the designs for adding the bell & it is beautiful."[9] The tower is designed in Pugin's celebrated Gothic Revival style, and is 96.3 metres (315.9 ft) high (roughly 16 stories).[10]

I'm going to wait for a judgement from winnie before setting a new one, as it's a bit blurry and inconclusive

Not in the rain, but there must be rain to get one of these right?

I'd never noticed that it was always sunny in street view land
Maybe it's a conspiracy to keep us mollified enough not to make trouble.

If mine is acceptable I would like to see the number 42 preferably in red.

[IRIS]

thought I had hit jackpot but it is a number 43 *keeps looking*

Two minutes street viewing Eastbourne I'm surprised it took that long.

I'd like to see people playing cricket.
