A B Would you mind if I joined you? Can I get you a drink? Thank you so much for having us to stay. Guess what? I passed! How about opening a bottle of champagne? Do you fancy going to theatre tomorrow? Not at all, that’d be lovely. That’s very kind, I’d love one. Not at all. It’s a pleasure. What? Congratulations! Brilliant idea! I’d love to, but I’ve already made plans.
