"Drop in whenever "

Next door are having a bbq this evening. They have kindly invited us in for "a burger and a glass of wine". Lovely thanks, what time? "Ah, just drop in whenever." I bloody hate ambiguity

Yeah that's really annoying.

Can you see their garden out of the window? Have a look and see if anyone else if there or whether you can smell the bbq yet!

Just go whenever you're ready, or hungry. It's not rocket science.

During the conversation would you not just answer ‘ok so would around 6.30 suit?’

I was juggling groceries as ndn called across the drive so after asking what time, no I didn't follow up. Annoyed with myself as much as the situation ( situation being not knowing, not the invitation). Will wait for some nice smells

Just go now. They might be waiting for you before they start cooking anything!

There's a hoard of teenagers in their house who definitely won't wait 😂
