My Scouse pal.........................

[Duncer]

...............has just got his kids the most amazing trampoline off the internet. It is massive and all four of his kids are having a whale of a time on it, in fact they have been there since six o'clock this morning when it arrived.

I asked him what web site he used to get it and he replied "Google Maps".

[Infomaniac]

Oh gosh - I don't get it. Could some kind person explain it to me please.

[Aquariel]

Infomaniac, I think "Google Street View" is probably what he meant - he stole it.

[Duncer]

That's the one. Copied the text word for word. Will demand an apology from my pal the nurse.

I couldn't get it, and if that is the answer I'm not sure I still do. Clearly the good folk of Liverpool are far more highly educated and witty than I am.

[Infomaniac]

Thanks Aquariel, but I still don't get it!!

[Duncer]

It's the old thieving stereotype, untrue as we all know, but that's it.

[Duncer]

And before anyone asks, my pal is a Scouser.

Perhaps I should post his mobile number so that offended Scousers will leave me alone??

[Infomaniac]

The penny drops. :o)

[mike11111]

I think the only explanation could be that the culprit saw this trampoline in a neighbour's garden, courtesy of Google Street view, then went round and nicked it.

[Duncer]

As explained in the third post, which I selected as best answer.

I'm still scratching my head. Doh!!
