I get your frustration, however at the momet it makes sense as London is their HQ. Looking forward to :monzo: rolling out more over the country in future. ---

> [@charliekelly](#): > > Looking forward to :monzo: rolling out more over the country in future. Iā€™ve been hoping this happens for a long time but sadly they favour London events and save all the good stuff for there. I highly doubt they will do anything like this outside of their bubble šŸ˜¢ For the first time in a long long time (or ever perhaps) one was announced in Manchester which isnā€™t close to me but certainly better than London. However itā€™s just a ā€œchat and meetupā€ which is nothing compared to this or any of the other recent exclusives that Londoners are given. Right down to the date and time theyā€™ve chosen for the Manchester one doesnā€™t make any sense, at least this one falls on a weekend! ---

I think they will, when they grow. These events cost Monzo. However it costs a lot less if they donā€™t have to rent a space - and of course they donā€™t need to at their HQ. More weekend events needed definitely! ---

That sounds like Londoner mentality where everything is at a premium šŸ˜‰ Iā€™m sure they could arrange something very reasonably priced (if not free) further north and centrally located so it is fair for everyone šŸ™‚ Iā€™m an investor, plus subscriber, joint account holder and everything in between. Unfair isnā€™t the right word when they do everything on their doorstep that excludes a lot of people. Makes you think if they care that you live outside of London šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø ---
