    Expect them some time between 09.00 and 09.30, I would say.

    15 minutes either way I would guess. Though if I was running late I would text/call ahead.

    See that you posted this at 9.56 has no-one turned up ?
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    Maybe whoever is coming at around 9:15 hasn't put their clocks back...

    It depends who has said it ..


    If it is a professional,say a nurse or doctor or some such then i would expect them 15 mins each way.


    If it were a builder or a delivery then perhaps i would expect some time from 9-15 untill 10-30 and then arriving with an apology


    It really is subjective

    If it’s an Ebay buyer it means they won’t be coming at all or they might turn up at 7.15 next day
  • If it's me it means I'll be standing outside your house at 9.10 waiting until it's 9.15 on my phone.

    Which will be about 9.10 anyway as my phone is 5 mins fast. I've actually phoned people to apologise for being late and still arrived early.
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.
