Got to be 3 months minimum since I applied for one, rumours are of people saying 4 months or more for theirs and still no sign of it. I've had two done by post in the past couple of months. First one exactly 3 weeks, second one a couple of days longer. Pretty much what I would have expected in pre-Covid days really! Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angle Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I debated posting this nice looking XUDT Xantia a few days back, but £1k seemed a bit steep.

I locked myself out of the house a few weeks ago, went out with the wrong keys , everybody else went out before I got back. The garden gate is on a combination lock so I got in the garden , 2 hours to kill , 4 bottles of cloudy cider from the fridge in the offy , sunny afternoon . By the time they got back i'd drunk all 4 , only I was proper pissed , could barely walk , staggered upstairs and spent the afternoon in bed , proper hangover too after.
