Mine likes to surprise me by randomly moving dinner time, even when it's been previously confirmed. I like to know so I can plan my evening, i.e. if dinner is in 15 mins then I won't start a DIY task; but if I've got an hour then I may get something done, so I can get my feet up earlier in the evening than if I did said task after dinner.

Last night I asked just after 5pm what time dinner was, to be told 6pm. Excellent, 45 mins to tidy the garage. 10 mins later, I get the shout dinner is ready.

Why can they not stick to the original plan!?

I think they are the MK1 version of humans and the ECU was very faulty

I'm often appalled by the unreconstituted, old-fashioned mysogyny on this thread, but then I find out you're having dinner at ten past five in the afternoon, and it becomes apparent just how old you all are.

1983 being, we suspect, the year John retired?

It was the lady controlling the dinner time, not the man. He was expecting it at 6 based on the intel but it could have been any time. They may have been due out for an evening of cock fighting or badger bating for all we know (are those persuits still legal?)

Well if we are to believe the bible, women are actually the Mk2 model - manufacturer must have started trying to cut corners to improve profits...

Oh yes...I forgot about that factual document..ooops....I heard the mark 2 was going to be amazing and God said to Adam...."that is going to cost you an arm and a leg"...Adam replied "ok, forget all that...see what you can do for just a rib"

You're quite right - classic case of Project Manager (god) trying to fill the gap between client expectations and client budget

I think the solution is get your own dinner if you are not happy with the timings, which is probably where the old fashioned mysogyny creeps in.

I never eat my dinner until 7pm at the earliest so I must still be pretty young at heart, and I always get my own.

I'm far from retired, but I'm a hungry boy who wants his dinner at an appopriate time, not like you southern lot trying to live like you're on the continent and having dinner close to bedtime

6pm dinner is plenty late enough, I get hangry otherwise. Anyway, back to the point in hand - stick to the timings previously communicated!

Must be a PITA if you want to go out to dinner.

John_1983: Hello, may I book a table for 5:30 please?
Maitre d': Sorry Sir, we don't open until 7.
John_1983: Ok, 7 then. Is it ok if I wear my pyjamas?

Beat me to it, I concluded from Johns comment that he is a fake northerner otherwise he clearly would have used the word “tea” for evening meal…..

Probably from Peterborough or somewhere like that….. :and definitely not Scotland…..
