Hi Kalel,
Any news on the second take?
I actually had the pleasure of taking the ECG for a class 1 in South Africa about 12 years ago and that one was not at rest - I had to cycle like a mad man for about ten minutes and the silly leads kept falling off - when I did my class 1 here at Gatwick I was expecting the same - and was pleasantly suprised to find it was at rest.
In those days they used to do that fun test to see if you are epileptic...since they've decided to bin that (rumour has it that someone sued over a siezure, although my AME said that was bollocks and in fact it just wasnt reliable enough...)
Best of luck - hope it went well!
As far as the extra money goes...unfortunately you're going to have to get used to spending in this business!
