Being seen

'Come on, mate. There's no time for too much of that chit-chat stuff.' I felt slightly aggrieved. Jeremy had grabbed me by the elbow and was wheeling me away from a group of people I hadn't seen for some time. More to the point, it meant I was missing the punchline which, I presumed, we might get to eventually. Unfortunately, Jeremy was on a mission. He'd rung me earlier in the month and suggested we meet up for a spot of 'being seen'. This was a regular event in Jeremy's pre-Christmas calendar
