Friends had a glaringly obvious continuity error that nobody ever noticed - did you spot it?

Friends had a glaringly obvious continuity error that nobody ever noticed - did you spot it?

Could we BE any more blind?
It's a TV show a whole generation (or two) grew up with.
Ross, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe, Joey and Rachel provided the backdrop to our youth and - thanks to endless reruns on E4 and Comedy Central - we thought we kneweverything about the show.
But it turns out that's not true.
There's a glaringly obvious continuity error in Friends that nobody has really ever picked up on - and it's all to do with the kitchen window in Monica's apartment.
It changes several times throughout the show, which ran for 10 series.

Remember how this window looks, then scroll down...
Unless the apartment was being teleported around New York City - or adjacent buildings were constantly being built and knocked down - we're guessing this is an error.
Of course, the other possible explanation is that producers changed the scenery in the Los Angeles studio as a little prank to see if viewers would notice.
If that's the case, they got away with it! Did you spot it? Vote in our poll below.

Here's Rachel in front of the window

Don't even get us started on that massive mobile phone. Let's focus on the window - there are buildings clearly visible outside.

But in a later episode it looks like this

Yes, Rachel, we're confused too...

Look at all the bricks

Sometimes the wall disappears

And the buildings are back.

Giving us a whole different view...

Then they have a totally different wall

Can they just make their minds up please?
