The whole place is the same, not enough staff and a lot of those with no real experience, just look at the GA unit, that started up to look after the whole of the U.K. GA industry with about 6 staff, and that included doing audits of companies, though staffing has improved since...
My engineering licences were sent in a month before due but there was nothing to say on the web etc the turnaround time was much much longer, I only found out when I called them up as it had days until it expired, luckily they managed to rush them through as I would have been stuffed.
And post Brexit and EASA it's just going to get worse as I have read elsewhere we may have to leave EASA.
