they've been banging on about doing something for summer party that the team will do for ages. They couldn't arrange a date where everyone is free. So they've found one date in September. Which is on a sunday which I am not really happy about but that's a different matter.

They said all along the company is paying for a certain amount for each person.

today we get the announcement saying ok we are going to be doing this certain activity it's £30 each and we are paying for your lunch so we'll be around to collect the money soon.

Will I look like a complete tosser if I moan about it. I can afford it easilly but I am not happy to spend £30 for this. £30 is £30 i live on a strict budget to allow super saving but £30 could be well spent else where imo. I can get 6 packs of dodgy cigarettes for that.

Think the amount of cold meats I could buy.
Problem is it's for our 'team' who are very small in number and everybody is going.

I am not a charity. I can afford it. But £30 on a work thing I can't justify that. I've turned ridiculously sensible lately.

What do the others think? If they're happy to pay for this thing then quietly let the boss pay your share.

as they have kids.

They can shove their Christmas party though. the last one was ****. 300+ people working here and they did a seating plan with random seating. So I ended up sitting next to a old drunk jap lady and a annoying teenage boy who thinks he was the *******s.

Nothing worse than trying to escape and people not letting you leave sticking drinks in your hand.
