If someone agreed to go to an event with you but then later said they can’t as they realised it’s a colleagues leaving drinks, is that a good excuse?

Yes if it’s leaving drinks and she was close to her, that’s understandable

No, that’s a rubbish excuse

[Guy13]

I would have a problem with that as the individual is leaving. Your schedule should take priority and your friend can give their regards beforehand and honor the commitment with you.

Would it depend which came first?

[Guy13]

Do you mean both can be managed in the same day OR do you mean you asked him first... he said ye... then said No,

Your questions makes little grammatical sense
