Dear Uncle Nick
Partly inspired by the channel 4 teletext page of the same name, which was popular many moons ago - here is a problem page.

Problems can be real, made up relating to yourself or relating to a 'friend'.
Hopefully the answers provided can help us through the muddles of everyday life.

A mate is off to a friends housewarming party this weekend.
That sounds pretty innocuous - but he has become 'friendly' with a mutual female friend.
That mutual friend, will also be at the party.

One or two people have their suspicions, regarding the 'friends with benefits' relationship. Others are totally oblivious - but the two in question are unsure how to approach things.

Do they behave in an up-front fashion, do they play things under the carpet or do they pretend they don't know each other?
The male and female in question only met a month or so ago, when introduced by the married couple.

Any advice would be appreciated, cos I haven't got a clue what to tell them.
I will also be at this housewarming, so being in the know - I am aware of how awkward things could be.
