Hi Clare, I'm still waiting for a certificate, despatch date was the 17th March! So it looks like they are seriously behind with the orders. Vanessa

Apparently they are quicker if you phone them through, as they are dealt by a different department which is not so snowed under!!!

I phoned on the 15th and received it through on the 27th. Then on the 27th I wanted another one but this time I did it on the net to save £1.50. I didn't make a note on the dispatch date though. Don't normally use GRO as I find the local offices much quicker, usually 2 days but I'm finding the London ones either don't hold them or they are being rebound.
