What did you expect to find in Whalley, business people? Well, I suppose they are conducting business, just not the kind that require a suit.

If you find this offensive or find that I’m hating on Surrey, sorry, but you need to go and get yourself a sense of humour. Afterall, no one in Richmond was offended when I posted this beauty of a car crash in Richmond via Google Street View.

Don’t worry the future still lives in Surrey. Whatever that means. Just for kicks, here is another one.

    Bwahahahahah I'm from surrey. Not offended. Watts talks a big game. A slogan like the Future lives here means nothing when many can't wait to leave.

    Actually, that picture is right outside the Front Room where there's a soup kitchen, a shower, a telephone. It's a hub for people in the community. You cannot assume anything from that picture. I see vulnerable women with stories of abuse and neglect and abandonment. Live in their story for one day before making a judgment, please. I know you're trying to be humourous and play into stereotypes. If only I didn't know some of these women's stories. It's not about Surrey, but about persons with a real name and a real story who live on the margins. I'm not offended by the stereotype of a city–a city isn't flesh and blood; instead I really hope you'll rethink your stereotyping of the women.

    pretty sure this is nothing more than acting for the camera…much like thousands of other things you can catch people purposely doing on street-view for kicks when they see the "google car" with massive roof mounted camera approaching.
