hedd-wyn Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I know how you feel mate! I sent mine before Xmas...Big mistake, took even longer! Hang on in there, best things come to those who wait. ps wouldn't go to the doctors for stress pills, you might end up waiting for the rest of your life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evo Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 HEDD-WYNN that reply just had me in bulk,,i think its because i,ve got ground to shoot on but can only do this when the owner is with me or on the land,,also like today all is sorted to go the clay ground and what happens ,, they cancelled 10 mins before we were due to go,,,gutted so i had to sit in and sulk ha ha ,,saving money on carts means more money for the wife to spend on this house ,, well at least shes got a smile on her face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-250 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I feel the pain, it'll come through in the end, mine took23 weeks. But in te long run was good as I'd bought everything I need bar the gun, so only had to get that and I picked it up the afternoon it dropped on the mat. By the way, did they request you have a house alarm ? If you just finished fitting it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedd-wyn Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 My FLO didn't turn up on the day of my first appointment, after I'd booked a day off! As you can imagine I was dancing with rage. But he called a a few days later with an explanation, and had a pretty good reason. Likewise, I had all the security set up, more land than I could ever shoot in a day, a deposit on a shotgun... but no SGC It'l soon pass buddy, just try not to lose any sleep over it.... like I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squodged Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 It seems that new applications are slow but renewals are quick......I've been there.....luckily mine was only 6 weeks in total for my 1st Licence which certainly isn't the norm!
