[QUGet OTE=Qsw;826668]There are a lot of skilled, well educated workers here. But there's also a lot that aren't well educated. In this case, I don't like to jump to assumptions, but maybe he needed an excuse to be late.

I definitely understand this frustration, but there's not much that can be done about it. I've seen much worse actually, and I don't mean them going to the wrong place...[/QUOTE]

I think maybe you could drive yourself?? Then save yourself the frustration of relying on others who let you down - but maybe you are too precious to take to the streets of Cairo as i did for many years and should be grateful to have a driver for so long who i am guessing has not let you down before as i dont think you have complained about him in 22 years or you would of got rid of him.......... maybe be thankful for years of service - he might have problems now you need to consider. Get another driver if you are worried - or a car.............or have a drink - seeing as you dont have to drive......................!!
