Been Looking at Google Earth...

Has Microsoft pulled the aerial views? If not I'd be grateful if someone could point me to the right link ...many thanks

Still there. Try http://maps.live.com/

Andrew...it takes me to Live Local Search and I'm asked to enter what and where ...and if I want to just locate a place name then I can't because I don;t have a 'what'..if you get my drift !

And all I see is a road map...not an aerial view.

From the road map screen, Roger, you need to click on the button on the left which says: "Aerial", under "Road"
That'll take you to where you're after. Unless you're in one of a couple of areas you won't be able to see the Birdseye view, only aerial.

In a similar vain, a road near to me is called "Nonsuch Close" makes you wonder what the town planners were thinking...

Nonsuch is also an archaic word for 'without equal'

We've recently moved out into the sticks in North Somerset, and a nearby village rejoices in the name of Nempnett Thrubwell. It takes longer to say it than drive through it!

How bizarre...it turns out to be a browser rendering error. I was running Safari and never have I seen such a difference between browser rendering..Safari could almost be looking at a different website from Firefox...where the website all works as planned!

Doesn't surprise me. Microsoft have been known in the past to produce a different page based on what browser you are using. Doesn't work in Opera either.
