Jonno - I had to get a PNC check for immigration purposes. It took around 8 weeks. I applied in June and got around begining of August. They did tell me this at the time though

8 weeks... oh dear that's a long time. It is frustrating as it holds up everything else going on in my life... in particular, because the record will be blank!

Ah yes PNC, Police National Computer. There seem to be a lot of names for it, the Police refer to it as 'the Freedom of Information' (thing).

Thx for the reply.
