It's been ten weeks since the application and not a dickie bird from the Guinness Book of Records Website.

Careful exploration of the site reveals that they are not keen on being contacted with Contacts pages constantly under development and no clear way of finding out what's going on.

I've tried various approaches but no help is forth coming. I feel sure they are pushing us in the direction of paying £250 to 'fast track' our application which is a kick in the teeth when we applied so long ago.

We have deadlines to meet. The sitting must take place by April 1st or what's the point?
