Sorry, I'm on my way!

Being late or being rude. Is there a difference or can it be forgiven? With the world always getting busier and busier is there any valid excuse for being late? We explore different groups and settings behind what can cause lateness, who can explain lateness, who can justify lateness and also the impact this can have on relationships.
