Not taking sides here, that is the last thing I want to do, but surely there has to be a 'happy medium'? Banning people is not the way to deal with comments that you don't like reading Martin, just correct them or simply ignore them, but leave the comments for all to see, you know as well as I do that there are way too many keyboard warriors out there, and they will be answered by your subscribers, including me. You eat what you want to eat, if it works for you then go for it, but please realize that a lot of folks can't afford to go to their local butchers and spend money like you are, and feast on prime cut steaks, please remember that. I eat spuds and veg and whatever meat that we can afford to buy, simple as that. Take a step back Martin, calm down, get back to the way you were when you started please.

[@AJDRLD]

Well I like your videos, just subscribed to Tracey and Bens too, but just know the difference in an opinion and trolls, it’s not the same, you can’t have all of your subscribers agreeing with you, that’s just not life and on social media and if you block the ones that have a different opinion you’re being defensive and manipulating your subscribers, it’s social media, not everyone is a troll, it’s an opinion that may not always agree with yours. you want subscribers, embrace comments even if they have an opinion or are curious, people enjoy your videos, they subscribed because they enjoy your content but may not always agree, everyone who has a channel probably experiences this and they don’t bite back, you only have to be a subscriber like me without a channel who watches lots of channels and enjoys seeing the comments and also appreciate the difference in opinions and interaction. if it bothers you and you don’t like the disagreements then don’t bite back, ignore and don’t comment and just enjoy what you do. Keep them as a subscriber with an opinion that’s different from yours…Most channels don’t defend, they don’t get personal and just do what they do and carry on regardless in their videos without even mentioning it. We wouldn’t even know this if you didn’t mention it.. I agree with other people, when I’m watching it and you mention negative comments and blocking it takes the fun out of what I’m watching. Don’t let it get you down…just do what you do and let the viewer enjoy your video. 😊

[@butlersempire]

We do respect theat people have different opinions, but what sometimes I feel the need to reply to people who make comments that are nasty and hurtful. We have no problem with differences in opinions but I don't need people condescending us as fools. We spend hours reading EVERY comment to show our support for our subscribers to show we care about them but most KZbinrs don't do that and that's why you'll see many negative commenters still left in their comments. Perhaps we shouldn't bother reading the comments and just leave everything in but that's not supporting them. Anyway, thanks for your comment.

[@AJDRLD]

@@butlersempire I just wouldn’t respond to the nasty ones, they don’t deserve the air time or reply. The reason you have so many subscribers is because we enjoy your content and I wouldn’t react to the nasty comments, if they are being nasty then let them because I’d you leave those comments other people will do the bashing lol. Anyway thanks for the videos, I love Rick Astley but I’ll be honest and say Belinda Carlisle was amazing!

[@christinasmyth5674]

Elimis ! Say no more ! And gosh Sharon you’re living proof that the regime food wise keto/ carnivore is really working! 👍

[@emlaustin]

Ricks still got it then, wonderful

[@cabdriveruk]

Rick comes from my home town. He used to be a drummer in a group called FBI and they used to practice in my mates tyre fitting garage on a night time. rick filled in for the singer who was sick at the time and Pete Waterman heard him and took him to London and signed him up, the rest is history. Cheers Jeff.

[@carolschobs2621]

Oh Martin you’re showing your age, that’s what happens at music venues…people enjoy it. Looked a great night anyway ❤

[@1960gal]

Watching you two doing your Birthday treat gig and a hotel stay bought back wonderful memories. We used to go all over the country to see our fav Bands. Brighton and Glasgow hold special memories. And we just love a Hotel breakfast, especially a buffet like that😋 That Hotel looked really nice. And as for Rick...he's always had a wonderful voice and he certainly scrubs up well 😉 Belinda...never been a fan but she's looking good (maybe l would too with her money?!😉). Glad you enjoyed yourselves.

Another great vlog, I love Rick and Belinda. I'm also of an age to remember them both the first time around! That hotel looked fab. Thank you for showing us different hotel companies Sharon. It's made me want to book something different to our usual trusty Premier Inn's in the future. This one looked ideal. Great breakfast too. You're both looking wonderful. I'm sorry some people still feel the need to lecture you on your choices - despite the fact you keep asking people not too! Can't they see that the results are literally speaking for themselves?! x

Hi Shaz and Martin. I am originally from Nottingham and your right its a great town for night life.

The hotel looked lovely and the breakfast was nice as well, just what you need after a night out. Take care x

At the risk of being blocked I have to say that you can be quite nasty to people who disagree with you Martin.

[@patriciahackman3637]

Very defensive.

[@lindawhite8921]

You're not at risk you need to be blocked nasty person nothing nice to say keep it shut.

[@LindaRolph-e6g]

​@@lindawhite8921 Oh I'm so sorry, there was I thinking I was allowed to have an opinion. Wrong again.

[@marksmith3469]

You eat what you want martin i can see you have lost weight and if your blood sugers are low you are doing something right i am diabetic i have some chocolate one a week everything in moderation 😊

[@shirleyvalentine2794]

The thing is we don’t get to see those messages because they are filtered out. I would suggest that they aren’t just disagreeing which is fair enough people are allowed an opinion but they are possibly being down right rude. So he is only human and responding as he does. It’s his channel,he doesn’t have to put up with it

[@gavlosmedia6323]

Saw them in Leeds last night Belinda was brilliant

[@tonymccarthy9273]

[@Alan-i4m1j]

Hope you both enjoyed the concert, unfortunately when you’re at a concert you have to expect that folk will stand up. Happens all the time. Have you seen the musical I should be so lucky as one of his songs is included in the musical along with Hazel dean kylie Sonia and Sinitta and also bananarama as well as dead and alive

[@mariapollock9231]

Great video guys. Wow Sharon how much weight have you lost you look amazing you too Martin, your new diet is working a treat. Wish I had the willpower to do it myself. By the way I’m really enjoying Tracey and Bens vloggs ❤

[@billsbasementworkshop1902]

Well said Martin. You eat whwt you want to eat and sod anyone else. Food is a personal thing and just because someone doesn't like a certain food, it doesn't mean that everyone has to give it up. My extended Family contains Vegetarians, Vegans and carnivores, if we treid to please them all, We would starve to death. As you can emagin, any family do's like Christmas and Weddings are a hoot to go to. My Wife and I are neither and enjoy our diet of meat and two veg most days.

[@KarenG.-qs7wc]

I should have thought Belinda Carlisle would be the main act with Astley as the support seeing as she had loads of hits, always in the charts whereas Astley is only known for one song. Weird billing🤔

[@shirleyvalentine2794]

She was where she was meant to be.Supporting a very talented artist who is known for more than one song if you are a fan.
