I think the Service Update message has been up for so long few notice it now. As always happens the one I'm waiting for is a marriage cert at an unknown venue so the GRO is the only real option open. It's about to roll to two weeks past est desp date .

Keep the faith Glen! Typically my awaited ones arrived this afternoon!

It's what's known as Sod's Law.

I think that you are right, I know that there has been a message there for a while but I have not read it until now ::)

I ordered a DNA kit the same day, I have a feeling that may arrive before the cert.

Yes - I am doing a friend's family tree and finding really quite lengthy delays. However if staff have been diverted onto a backlog of passport applications - I can so understand that being more urgent.

We have taken the service for granted in the past haven't we.
