    Yep, things took a little longer to get a yes for me as very few people made it to the office.

    I just have to sort the paperwork out.

    Well done. It seems to be a good day for CUK folkes.

    Who cares, you're off the bench and have managed to pi$$ off an agent to boot.



    Best of luck and hope you stay off the bench for a long time.

    But yes, you're right. If the rate is 1100-1200CHF, you're doing ok.
