Thanks, Manowar; the building on the corner of Borough/Victoria has hardly changed, just the sash window replaced.

Max: don't know who informed you it was Conway St., but they were wrong.

Hope its helps anyway.

I was just about to post this tip, you just beat me to it.

Another tip if you have used either of the previoulsy mentioned tips and you quickly want to get back to normal page view 100% hold Ctrl and press 0 (on the top row of numbers) and back to normal view.
