[Q]: M: Well, Double the Fun is a party bus where you and up to 50 friends can hold celebrations. All buses have fridges for cold drinks, disco-quality sound, an amazing light show and comfortable leather seats. What we don't have is cooking equipment. All buses also have a bus host, whose job is to make sure all the guests get back on the bus after each stop. W: After each stop? So guests don't spend the whole evening driving around on the bus? M: No! In fact, we take them to 4 different clubs during the evening. At each club, we've booked special VIP entrance, which means no waiting to get in, and everyone gets a free drink. W: Anything else our listeners should know about the parties? M: Yes, all guests must be smartly dressed. No jeans or sports shoes. The only exception would be if they want to have a fancy-dress party. And we need to know the time you book if you are planning a fancy-dress party. Clubs like to know in advance when parties will be arriving. W: Thanks, Dennis. What was said before this conversation?
