Let the point: The British punctuality THERE is a myth, if you stay with someone there, that person will, at least twenty minutes late and that even if they live five minutes from place to stay.
And no matter how important the occasion of the meeting, in fact, the English are always late to work and do not bother to improve their timeliness. Always have two excuses: blame the traffic or the schedule of trains and metro (although they are on foot) and, of course, use the magic word to which I referred in a previous blog: "Sorry." With those two weapons no one can reply on his tardiness because he would be considered impolite (but always being late is not).
And you tell me if always taking the same train, bus or subway you arrive late, the most logical thing would be to catch the last. You are right but logic and English words are antonyms, you'll never find an Englishman who is governed by logic but by the stubbornness of that is always right and they will continue taking the same means of transport and will always late, total, the work no one will say anything.
But, yes, when the British finished their working hours, arriving home late is another matter: it does not exist and stampedes by metro and train stations without worrying if it happens, by the way otherwise close an old woman, a pregnant woman or a child: the English hordes galloping furious eyes out until your train will stop at nothing in the world.
This is during the weekdays, but what about during the weekend? Well, the answer is simple: whether you arrive late will go to the movies or the theater or a dinner or a concert, always take the metro to the time glued to the ass. For them, the theater or concerts with a start time simply do not care, they must believe that, as in Victorian times, the late indicates a high social position and that the musicians and actors wait until they reach if not, grab a pissed not require you to wiggle and talk to the manager on duty if they are denied the right to enter when the function has started with respect for the performers and who care enough to come soon.
I, with my English friends, who oddly enough, some have, I have tried everything from time to quote before I had thought to be the same play them and have them waiting for some time, the result is given as , you are arriving late in the genes and, as with other British customs, they are not going to change, is the rest of the world who have to.
