No one would argue with that.
As Clare said earlier, make the most of it whilst the commercial issuing bodies are processing the applications. Believe it or not, they share a lot of the concerns raised here and strive hard to get the cards out as quickly as possible. I doubt that the Department will have the same level of customer service focus.
