Still on the disclosure trail...

It seems somebody has been telling me porkies!

I actually spoke to Disclosure Scotland today - having got their phone number from my employer's HR department - and it seems that my disclosure is still with their vetting team, and not on its way to me yet, at all!

"After all, Enhanced Disclosures can take up to six weeks," the operator smugly informed me - adding, "When did you say you sent the application into us?"

"On the 26th November," I replied.

Pregnant pause...

"Ah. Well, it looks as if there's been a short delay in this case."

I resisted the temptation to ask him what his definition of 'short' is. I mean, he probably uses it to describe various bits of his anatomy; and it wouldn't be right to be so insensitive!

Sorry but I'm laughing at this as they are currently quoting 10 days for disclosures coming through. Just goes to show what a waste of space they are. My 2 recent ones have taken 3 weeks. Hope it comes through soon. Lx

Hmmm. Methinks it might be time to write to an MSP and suggest their activities might benefit from a visit by the auditors...
