Binglebailey,
You're not wrong about the DAME's. I'm surprised any of them can be bothered doing it anymore. I actually felt sorry for mine the other day. He would have made a loss on mine for sure.
Caneworm,
You must be one of the lucky ones. Young and absolutely no current or previous medical issues perhaps..?? Whilst it all seemed easy to you, my experience and for plenty of others as well, was quite the opposite. Painful in the extreme!
Leadsled,
Correct. Bureaucratic nonsense at its best (or should that be worst?). Poorly conceived and put together. So many of the questions are totally irrelevant and meaningless. Not just 'have you been/done/seen whatever in the last 12 months, but EVER..?? Really..??
Now lets see how long it takes to process...28 days..? We live in hope.
