"I'm usually late. I don't mean to be but I rely on public transport and it can be hectic in London. Plus,I sometimes get lost  do you not plan ahead?"
Yes,I use Tfl journey planner but it's never accurate. It told me my train journey to Clapham would be 48 minutes. I allowed myself an hour and 10 minutes allowing for buses and walking. It took me 1 hour and 45 minutes,but that included a 5 minutes stop at a shop and 10 minutes with oyster machines at the station that wouldn't take coins. I was aiming for 8.30 and got there at 9. |

"If someone is coming to visit me on the train, I only live a 2 min walk from the station, so it's easy to be on time "
Not if they have problems on the train or buses and the ticket machine won't work for them |

"I was late to my own tea party, not exactly canon but someone had to be.
I hate being late for things.
You weren't the only one... but you were later than I...  "
True but I was not the latest either. |

"I'm either super early or super late.
I don't know how it keeps happening.
"
I don't mind being early if I'm waiting in a cafe,not in a pub though or I'll be d*unk by the time they get there. |

"I do try to be on time but on occasion get a little lost  "
Ah a woman who I can relate to
The worst occasion I had to be 'rescued' from IKEA car park ~ made for a great meet though, the relief of being found came flooding out  |

"I've had 4 buses break down on me this year. think your just doomed, i rely on buses and trains as well"
I think you're right. No matter how much I plan my journey,something happens. I check for station and line closures first now because I got stuck in Paddington one night when the train drivers went on strike. I had to get 3 buses home and arrived at 1.30 am. |

"I met someone in Stratford once and couldn't find him. He sent me his location and I found him using gps "
It was like something from the Aliens film,tracking the alien |

early or on time is good... late is not good so if we are late something has delayed us and there's not a lot we can do about it.
Always appreciate people who are on time

Early, well the few I've been on I've been incredibly early!!
Usually though in my everyday life, I either get places as above or about 10 mins late, there is never an 'on time' senerio!

I normally get lost as don't know my left from my right when I'm meeting someone for the first time... which means my attempt of being on time always fails!  |
