The Girl that Ramsgate Forgot

Ramsgate. A town of mystery, history, and a very large Wetherspoons. But behind the seaside charm lies a tragedy: They’ve completely forgotten I exist. This is a British mockumentary investigating the disappearance of my own reputation. If you’ve ever felt like a local legend that nobody actually knows, or if you just enjoy awkward British comedy (think Cunk on Earth vibes but with less budget), then please watch this. It's for the history books. Recorded in the style of a BBC documentary." parts of this video were blurred & cut purely for comedy purposes jokes on me not the people in the video.
