Leave. If she wants it, she'll rearrange for another night. Though bear in mind that if they mess you around now they might be bleedin' awful when it comes to organising money and contracts.

your first mistake was expecting a woman to arrive on time.

I had this re: a guitar I was sellign through here.

"I can only be there at 9pm on Sunday"

I wait around 'til 10:30 and nothing.

Email to find out what happened and no response. In the end I found a mobile number they'd used with the email address on anpother forum and texted 'are you still interested?' - got an excuse about 'having trouble on the way down' - I think they just changed their mind and were too embrassed to say.

The bike is secure and we have a dog. Shewould have a job stealing the bikes as the would have to be thrown over the house.

I'd install a wire cage over the back yard, to be sure

Now you've named her, what should she be ashamed of ?

You don't actually know the reason why she didn't turn up or hasn't contacted you.

I told her i had to leave my house by 7.30 last night. she assured me she would be here by 7. i had to leave as im leaving for the falklands in a few days and i have to get around and see people.

also i emailed her that day and she confirmed she was still coming and she wouldnt be late. i added my phone number so she could call if there where any probs.

also any rides this week from ecbr?

Which suggests that something might have cropped up...........maybe she's lying in Intensive Care with tubes coming out of her nose, and various other places ? 💡

[i]"any rides this week from ecbr?"[/i]

According to yer man, yes. Quote : [i]Bank holiday this weekend - Bring it on![/i] 8)

Check out ACC forum under "MTB on sunday?"
