What have they said? ThRs perhaps the most important fact that you haven't elaborated on.



For example badgering me via text to go out on nights I don’t want to

That's a nice and friendly thing to do, unless they're doing it in some mean or jerky way.




I know it's friendly but I want to cut down my drinking by spending a bit less time going to pubs


Have you told them that? If they're really friends they'll respect it.



Nah they probably badger me more.

On a different topic there is this one lady at the pub who does have an issue with me for some reason or another?

Well at least they won't be able to bully you via WhatsApp, right? :chin:
Yeah but then I will have to deal with them when I bump into then at my local pub
But as you're wanting to spend less time at the pub that's likely to be less of a problem, no?



What I meant was I want to go out once a week on Saturday as opposed to friday-sunday like they do. Would not mind giving the odd weekend here and there a miss as well.

^ Oh, Ok - but you'd still see less of them.

If they're not really interested in getting to know you (for the right reasons, as opposed to having a bit of fun at your expense) I would have thought their interest would quickly fade because you'll not be such an available target.
