This is a question Why I was late

"On the way to the station, I got hit by a bat, it almost took my head clean off. Then the machine would not accept my ticket and the guy at the gate didn't think I looked like the photo on my travel card. So I had to go home and get my passport.

Then the train was 45 minutes late to the station because of the dangerous badger threat at Carpenters Park.

When I was on the train it took and hour and a half to get past the biscuit factory because the driver was really fat.

Then there was a delay stopping at the station because the train in front had heard we were coming and decided to play a practical joke with a rubber shoe on the track.

That is why I couldn't get here on time today."

What's your best excuse?

As mentioned before, I hate to be late.
My sis on the other hand, is the complete opposite to me and has her own time zone. You have to add between an hour to two and a half hours on to whatever time she has told you she will be there, depending on the occasion you are meeting. Take today for example, I have two whole weeks off work -YAY!- but I hate to think I'm wasting time so I still get up at the time I would for work and go out and make the most of the day. I arrange with sis to pick me up straight after she has done the school run and we will go girly shopping til three when the schools come out. So Im up and ready by 8.30, tidy round, do a load of washing, put it in the tumble when it finishes, take it out and iron it when it finishes, have a mooch at b3ta, have a flick through a catalogue and find a bed for my step sprog, compare it on the internet to about a thousand others and finally decide on the first one, order it, etc, etc. What time does she show up? 11.30. Two and a half hours late. The shocking thing is, no-one cares any more, we all expect it, she never has an excuse, and if you ask where she has been or what took her so long, all you get is: 'You know what I'm like.' So not only is she late, but she makes you feel bad for questioning her because you should know by now! Theres an excuse (or not) for you.
