Hello, dear Friends
My logic behind using past perfect is that the underlined events happened before he met his friends.
Is it ok, to use past perfect, or past simple should be used instead?
To me, the version with past simple sounds as if my friends did all the things after we met.
a) I met a lot of my old school friends, too, and they had not stayed the same either. Some of them had moved to London, and most of them had got married.
b) I met a lot of my old school friends, too, and they did not stay the same either. Some of them moved to London, and most of them got married.
