British people are traditionally never late for official or friendly meetings. It is often  considered impolite  to  arrive  even a  few  minutes  after a  fixed  time.  If somebody can’t come on time, he calls and apologizes. At present, it is more difficult  for the British to be punctual because the rhythm of life is very fast. However, they try to do their best anyway because punctuality is a feature of British character. It's just not common for the British to be later.
