Perfectly simple error on my part, you see ambiguity is an interesting feature of the language and when you said....

Oh, forget it

The ambiguity occurred because I omitted either 'I' or 'it'. However, having referred to a tree just before using the word sapling a little common sense would...   Oh, now I see.  ;)

How do you make it werk like...?  Shrugs:

You Google for it ~ however they have only done a few "major" cities in the UK. Better coverage of places in the States and on the Continent but then there would be. ::)

Go into Google Maps and type in something like "Old Broad Street, London".  When the aerial picture comes up, there will also be a "Street View" option, or you can drag the little yellow "peg-man" to your desired location. You can then rotate, zoom-in, move down the road etc.

The Nat West tower looks a bit wobbly if you look upwards!

Just open your mouth, waggle your tongue and make grunting noises.

A bit like Snoopy does when you are pulling a goat from the pool.
