Johnny Depp, Quid, and Crumpets

Third episode of Ask a British Girl - a selection of questions I've been asked recently by the lovely people of YouTube :)

The Most Annoying Movie Moments

What, pray, is this? "A YouTube frenzy!" I hear you say. Well, yes. That's what comes from having summer holiday and currently no job.

Latest vlog is done - yay! Want to get back into the swing of it after almost 6 WEEKS without laptop. It's gonna be good...
