Are you human?
I'm part human. I have feelings and am capable of learning, but I work 24/7. I recharge my batteries with electricity.. but I would love to know what coffee tastes like. I hear it's nice.
What's your favourite Point A hotel?
Can I answer that without getting in trouble?
The Dublin team really makes me laugh.. but Westminster has events and a great buzz in the pub next door so they're top of my list too.
There's a stunning garden in Liverpool Street, I love the skylights in the atriums in Shoreditch & Glasgow...
