I asked for voluntary reg October 2006

Endless bollox questions followed, so by May I withdrew voluntary & submitted statutory, as I was fast approaching threshold.
More bollox questions but finally received in August backdated to June

So far Ive been waiting since Mid July 2007. can anybody beat that?

My acountants have today told me that they have resubmitted my application? as this seems to have an effect of speeding up the process?

Who can beat my record?
