9 days - sadly I feel you are in the minority. I attended mine after waiting a month for an appointment and was then told I would have to see the respiratory specialist (who was only available on Thursday afternoons). Turning up a month later, I was made to run around the car park for a bit (do the CAA really decide who is medicallay fit to fly on this!), in a dressing gown, and was then examined, only to be told there was nothing wrong with me other than my lungs had slightly lower capacity than the average person for my age and size. I paid another £115 and became the the proud owner of a JAA Class One medical. Total cost, excluding petrol, around £600.
