All depends on what kind of lads you have in your office , if they are a decent bunch it can be a good laugh .I wouldn’t go to our do in a million years as they are mostly tossers .

You don't have to like everyone you work with in life.

I'm going to my old DO's Christmas party which should be good as everyone gets along. My current DO doesn't really have a "do" as such and I am not sure if I would go to it even if they did...

My DO has one every year, get flyers from around the restaurants close to your office for comparisons, if there's one with a pub near it then that's even better because not everyone is up for a meal but most people like a drink :D If anyone's a member of a social/bowling club then see if they can get a deal for the office too. Most nightclubs have a crimbo party guestlist, have a look at their websites and contact them that way. You're never going to please everybody but that's the way it goes.

The workers in our office are all good, but going to a Christmas do. Simple answer...I can’t be arsed.

We used to but it's a big office and getting the money in early enough and arranging it is a bit of a 'mare so it's fell away the last few years as the jobs got more demanding - there's barely time to sort your own family Xmas out, let alone arrange a works do.

Small groups usually arrange a meal or pub crawl between them and the groups converge from time to time rather than a big function.

Our office just meet up in a pub and see where the night takes them. I never go though, I can't be arsed to be honest.
