Prompt:"Better 3 hours too early then a minute too late. " William Shakespeare Write about this quote in your Blog entry today.

Ooh, I don’t know the truth in this quote. Although I hate to be late, and I’m almost never late, to be there three hours before being expected wouldn’t be great would it? Imagine you were hosting a dinner party and the guests decided to arrive three hours before time. Wow any host or hostess would not be happy would they?
Being late I find is extremely rude. What makes anyone think their time is more important than that other person waiting somewhere? If you’re going to be late then at least let your date know to expect to be waiting for you.
My children learned the hard way about not turning up on time. Their father would tell them he’d be picking them up from their friends, a shopping expedition or the cinema etc when they were in their teens. If they weren’t there when he arrived at the agreed time he’d give them five minutes then he’d leave and they had to find their own way home! He only had to do it once.
I have a friend who is always late. So confident I am that she will not be there on time that I automatically add thirty minutes to the time we agreed on.
So don’t be three hours early but at least try to get there on time.
