I'm a bit sceptical about those figures, Hants police took 5 1/2 months for my coterminous renewal in 2020 and only today have I finally sorted out all the stuff that they got wrong. Looking on the bright side they've recently appointed a new FEO who seems to have more commonsense than some of the FLD office staff so hopefully these problems won't occur again?

I come under the Glasgow firearms office. I emailed for a variation last Friday at roughly 1230 and I receive an email back at 1603 that day telling me my variation had been processed. I then went in on the Monday morning handed my old certificate in and was given my new certificate there and then. Great service from the team in Glasgow!

Mine went in on 7th July, to Devon and Cornwall, now day 70 and heard nothing.

I rang and asked two weeks ago and it was still in the 'box' and not on the computer for process yet.

Has anyone done a variation with Suffolk lately? Any idea of their current timescales?

To be fair I do, but when I asked my bank for a cheque book cover they said they no longer make them.

I suppose it is a sign of the times. Cleaning out the truck a couple of months ago and came across a couple of quid in coins. I was fascinated.

Could not remember the last time I had seen "real" money.

I get cheque books from LLoyds but not from HSBC or Barclays - guess which account is most used. HSBC don't even send statements unless I spend from the account - i.e. otherwise I never know what has been paid in without visiting the bank !
