Having looked only at the photo and not wishing to enter into any dispute could I suggest that the Zebra Crossing may well have been repainted to conform to any new regulations regarding the size (length and width) of the white lines. It is also possible that it was moved slightly to meet these regulation.

Just a suggestion ::):

The tall black pot on chimney 2 is clearly in the middle of the stack in the street photo. You can see a wee pot nearer to us.

I'd say it's still in the middle of the stack in the aerial photo. Look at the width of the stack. I suspect the wee pot is not showing clearly as it's similar coloured to the roof. But that tall black one is neither to the left or right of the light coloured stack. And the 3 uniformly small bright pots on the next stack agree with the street picture.

Ridiculously blown-up in a JFK kinda way.

That tall black splodge is in the middle of the stack with a dirty pot on the left and a clean pot on the right.

Aha - that explains it. I couldn't see the wee dirty pot in the aerial photo, so assumed there were only two pots in each case, and that they were reversed in the photos. OK, I'm convinced - it's Maryhill Road.

Now where's the grassy knoll? :wink:

Is that a gun in his pocket?

I take it everyone will know the other line. ::): ::): ::):

By the way there was also a gunman on the railway bridge above the underpass. Triangulated shots. Apparently the guy on the bridge was a crap shot.
