No, please don't explain to the organisers on the day. Just turn up with DRT and introduce him as Rachel. I want to witness the effect of that...djewesbury wrote:I have an extra place, as it turns out. Rachel is starting a new job next week and can't come over. We can explain to the organisers on the day, I presume the numbers are all they're worried about.
They met her last year of course. I suppose we could confuse them and say "post-op". It's true after all.AHB wrote:No, please don't explain to the organisers on the day.

If I do something that evening, to borrow Axel's observation, the key will no longer fit in the lock...idj123 wrote:Is anything happening afterwards-or is this too much to ask after the day's activities?!
Nonsense. She won’t know that you are doing something in the evening until after the locksmith has closed the shop for the day. And by the time the locksmith shop re-opens, you’ll be safely home.
