I had my builder, who I've worked with for a few years now, agree to start quite a big job on a certain date, not turn up, and then, a few days later, after extensive chasing confirm he was in fact in Poland and would be for another week.
He is cheap though so I tend to put up with him being a bit of a shyte. I now go and pick him up and drop him off to avoid all this (he doesn't have a van).
