Wealthy Expat Seeks Advice on Reconnecting with Old Friends in the UK Without Appearing Patronizing
- Reader is a wealthy expat retiring to the UK after working in Asia, wants advice on reconnecting with old friends without seeming patronizing
- Wants to host a party for about 12 old university friends to reunite, but is worried about getting the venue and arrangements right
- Was suggested to host the party at a nice pub with a private room, with drinks and nibbles, for 30-40 people max
- Should host at lunchtime or early evening, in late spring/early autumn, and be clear he's footing the bill so no one feels patronized
- Main advice is to stop worrying and overthinking - his friends will understand and appreciate the gesture
