the Ace Cafe in London famous motorbike cafe that has now lost its soul, no one talking to anyone, expensive crap food, and no atmosphere whatsoever, and took us two hours to get back off the north circular road

To the Brighton haters, try Hove!

* I live in an Edwardian square which has become the home of famous YouTube vloggers: PewDiePie and his girlfriend Marzia live here and are always visiting KickthePJ in our building and The Anna Edit lives next door and they are all friendly with Zoella and her partner Alfie Deyes of Pointless Blog, so we see them all the time. *

Gosh, I’m sold! Hmm

Another vote for Times Square. Hated it!

Loved the rest of NYC though!

Sorry?

I reposted someone’s post as I read it and couldn’t believe someone was seriously saying how brilliant Hove is because they occasionally see a vlogger.

I thought the Hmm face might have given it away but clearly not to some.
