The Partier: There’s a lot going on here, and for good reason. The phrase “the more, the merrier” is you in a nutshell. You are up with the sun so that you can pack as much fun into your day as possible and summer is your favourite season because the days are long and there’s more time to be out having fun. You would never dream of owning a two-seater car – where would everyone sit??
