Absolutely. In fairness I have been slow to pay people on occasion, and have only a few months ago managed to get my house in order with changing jobs, houses, girlfriends, and everything else. Sometimes you do genuinely forget. But once youv'e reminded someone they need to pay. Simple as that. I know I owed Gary money for a while on the assumption that being a mate I'd see him at various dives which then got canned, or driving past his house which I didn't manage. Often there's no intent to keep people waiting or cause problems, but it shouldn't be their problem.
To be honest taking money up front for trips is the way it gets. Gary you are probably too trusting of people because you're a nice guy and think others will be the same. James organised a massive trip last year in the Farnes and collected just abotu everything in advance from memory. No faffing about, you want to go you pay by a set date. If not paid you're off the list. Easy.
Oh, and green if anyone can guess which eye the monacle I use is in. Quick tip - same side as Napoleon wore his patch.
Digs.
