if one is given a 12 till 2pm appointment, and it's turned 2pm then that means they're late

[Twiglett]

doesn't it?

waiting in for gasman, tum tiddly tee tum

Yes it does

Yes. It does.

But the gasman runneth on his own time.

Tis a bit like hippytime.

Your mistake is to think that it's until 2pm real time.

2pm gasman time is any time before April.

No.....not in the world or Gasmen,Plumbers and the council!! i would say thats the norm!!
They will probably turn up just as you all sit down to tea, with the excuse.....sorry love we had an emergency call out

wouldn't mind but I think I need a poo

Oh well, sorted. As soon as your bum hits the seat the doorbell will ring!

Put a 'please wait, poo in progress' sign on your door.

LOL @ Pooh in Progress!!!!!

I don't even know why they give appointmnts, they should just say "See you when I can".

well he just called and said he'll be here in 15 minute .. if he was lying he's buggered cos I've got school run
