If you've called dinner... How long will you wait for people before starting to eat?

So... DH was moaning that we hadn't waited for him at dinner.
He was working in his car, gave him a 10 minute warning, he said "ok" and was doing something like changing a sensor - not dirty, could be left half way through etc... DD called to him again once DS was putting dishes on table. He shouted "yeah, ok".
We then had a minute or two and put all dishes out, DD had set table, I got drinks, salt and pepper etc.

We all sat down and waited a few minutes... DH nowhere to be seen so we started helping ourselves.

DH turns up maybe 10 minutes after we sat down and moaned we hadn't waited for him...! Cheeky fucker.

So anyway, how long do you usually wait for everyone to get to the table?
