July 8th I have a willycam experience in the mid afternoon and then I am driving to Scunthorpe to stay the night prior to the Boy's graduation ceremony in Hull the following morning.
Failing to get any sense from the Boy about arrangements:
What will you be wearing?
Cap and gown
Yes but what will you be wearing under that?
A suit
Have you got a suit?
Silence....
Where are we meeting?
Silence....
Have you got tickets for the ceremony?
Silence.....
WHat about lunch afterwards?
Silence...
I e mailed Mrs Nick. SHe informs me that:
1. The ceremony is from 10.30-12.30 followed by drinks for students and staff at 1.00. Banghead
2. Lunch has therefore been booked in a restaurant for 4.00 eeek:
3. The Boy is contacting the appropriate team today to enquire about tickets Banghead Banghead Banghead
I ask where we are meeting prior to the ceremony
Silence.....
This may well become a fiasco noooo:

My parents didn't show much interest in going to my graduation, I showed even less so I went to work and earned money
45 years later I'm still struggling to give a stuff. It's just a ruse to make money out of people that have better uses for it, right up there with overblown weddings imho
-
I have some sympathy with this point of view (especially the weddings bit whistle: ) but The Boy has come a very long way in 17 years and this is a sort of important punctuation point.

When Mrs Nick and I got married we had lunch afterwards at the Star and Garter on RIchmond Hill. We said "Lunch for 30 people." When they found out it was a wedding they went bonkers as they would have charged us three times as much for the same lunch, had they known angel1

If you'd known then what you know now would Greggs have been involved? (Meals on Wheels being a tad unreliable)

It was necessary at the time noooo:
-
A couple I know got married at Chelsea registry office (cos that's where the stars used to have their second weddings and they thought why not them too) then got two taxis round to the Ritz for tea with their closest friends (no not us)
Apparently the Ritz cottoned on immediately and were extra responsive (which takes some doing as they are :thumbsup: 3 anyway) taking loads of pics for them etc
And I've always thought since that THAT was the way to do it.
