    Weird word that it is, here is even more proof! :pac:
    A Japanese woman is suing Google after images of her underwear appeared on Street View.

    The unnamed lady is requesting 600,000 Yen (£4,588) from the search engine, claiming that she suffered psychological distress from her washing line being displayed on the Google Maps feature.

    According to Japan's Mainichi newspaper, she told the court: "I was overwhelmed with anxiety that I might be the target of a sex crime. It caused me to lose my job and I had to change my residence.

    "I could understand if it was just a picture of the outside of the apartment, but showing a person's underwear hanging outside is absolutely wrong."

    The suit claims that the woman's obsessive-compulsive disorder became worse because of the ordeal, as she suspected everything she did was being filmed.

    I can see a rush now if a Google car comes around, for everyone to put their washing out!

    Maybe they had skids in them. Pretty harrowing if so, to be honest.

    She should have scrubbed a bit harder if they were out in the line covered in skids.
