Sent my application off a while ago and was promised it within 10 working days. After about 4 weeks of waiting I called them up to enquire. It took them about 15 minutes to find it and after all that time they said that no one had even looked at it.
At the same time a class-mate of mine sent his off a week after me and got it back a week before I got mine - good old CAA, a quality act.
