ATB Nick Dont know why its posted this twice??? Yep, my receipt was a letter saying call me from my FAO, who came for the interview 2 days later.

Wookie Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Cambridgeshire try to get both SGC and FAC out in a month I think. Unfortunately my SGC took about three months and the FAC about the same thanks to a lot of dickering about and faffing. There's a thread about it on here somewhere detail all the hassle I went through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
