Quite. That is a contribution you willingly make. Not a fee you are charged. Big difference.

Re: Would You Pay Up? Or Refuse To Go?

So it's the friend whose birthday it is that is asking you for £20, not a friend of the friend? Because I would feel differently if it's a friend of the friend, but a friend asking you directly is weird.

I wouldn't enjoy going to a party anyway so I'd just give a gift and say no.

Re: Would You Pay Up? Or Refuse To Go?

That’s going to be some present they’ll receive, I reckon.

I’d make my excuses and not go.
