I'm due to send my cert back, hopefully to have it opened. When I contacted them they did tell me that they had quite a large backlog

There are i believe two members of staff off at present and i think four feo's have either left or retired. I know they have a mountain of renewals to process and two people are working weekends to try to cut the backlog. Having said that they just processed a variation for me in two weeks. It may be worth emailing or phoning ( after 2pm ) to enquire whats happening. My local rfd's cert has run out and although he has had an email to say carry on, no one will send him cartridges, ammo etc till it's renewed. They are normally very good but you can only do what you can do with what you have.
