[QUOTE=Toungsten;4423762]If I had to make a same day appointment for the first appointment of the day I would be on the road and half way there before the bookers are answering their phones. That's why I always book days in advance and if I have to cancel I try to make it the night before but the bookers know me for a long time and don't have a problem with me cancelling if I have to. Just say "sorry something came up".[/QUOTE]Yeah, I book in advance, and have never canceled.
I would hope that gives me a good reputation with the booker, if they are keeping track of attendance.
But even if you cancel, I bet there is always some monger to take your place, easily.
