Father gets £15.95 invoice for son’s party no-show

The father of a five-year-old boy has criticised a mother who sent him an invoice for failing to give notice that his son wouldn’t be attending her child’s birthday party.

Derek Nash said that his son, Alex, was invited to a party just before Christmas at a dry ski slope in Plymouth, Devon.

But after his son did not go to the event, the birthday boy’s mother sent him an invoice for £15.95 saying that Mr Nash had left her out of pocket and had not informed her that Alex would not be attending.
