Ryan: Hi guys? anybody coming to the UK for Christmas?
Tony: We're going to London with Lucy
Mark: I will stay in Berlin, the flights were too expensive
Mark: and everything is always so unbearably crowded before Christmas
Tony: that's so true unfortunately
Tony: but anyway my family wouldn't forgive me if I stayed in France
Ryan: so maybe we could meet in London Tony?
Ryan: I'll be there for a week
Ryan: more or less
Tony: also for Christmas?
Ryan: Natalie's mother lives there, so we decided to spend this Christmas with her
Ryan: she's a single again after 30 years, so it seems difficult for her
Tony: I see, ok, let me know when you're free, we can meet for a beer
Tony: would be nice
Ryan: ok
Ryan and Tony are going to meet for a beer over a Christmas break. Mark is staying in Berlin.
