Not being in Europe, I don't know if this is true. My German ancestry definitely dominates over my UK and Irish ancestry! I always time arrival to arrive at exactly the agreed upon time. In fact, I arrive earlier because of concern about traffic. Otherwise I become too anxious. It's much more pleasant for me, if I'm not late. Maybe it's my midwestern roots and not ethnicity?
I've got some German in me, according to my DNA and lived in Germany so, yeah, I'm always on time or a bit early. I've always been that way. I don't want to inconvenience others by making them wait for me to arrive.
