i would like to add: lack of consideration for others' time- appointments are not kept. time for social events are unrealistic because nobody turns up at that time. take,for instance, most marriage reception invitations are for 07.30 pm or thereabouts but if you turn up on time, even the hosts may not be there. late running of trains- fm announcements about trains provide a humorous moment if you are not travelling. rarely any train is on time. why don't they change the timings to a reasonable one? it would save a lot of national time wasted waiting for trains. congestion at stations too.
