Today my blog is a moan about my pet peeve – people who are late! It is bad enough (I think) on a social level but when it affects business, it is beyond me how being on time is not an absolute given. I had a 10am appointment with someone today, me being the client, and at 10am he calls to say he’s running late and might only get there at 10.30 – do you not know way before the appointment time that you’re going to be late? Besides the sloppy image it gives off (this is our first meeting), it also shows a great disprespect for the other person’s time – as if they have nothing better to do than wait for the person that's late?

Service in our wonderful country is often criticised and this is just one small yet important way of improving things! It is such a frequent problem that we have almost become accepting of it. Is it just me that it drives crazy or how do you feel?
