    I put in a 'complaint' a few weeks ago, but the responses haven't really addressed my complaint and have essentially told me to wait until the end of October (end of freeze) as they can't give me any information until then. A lot of people from lower down the merit list have already been placed on this IRC, which I know is totally up to them, but for those people who suggested this maybe wasn't allowed, I think it must be as I have raised it several times in my contact and haven't gotten anywhere with it. Not sure what else to do, except just keep waiting.

    Just had the phone call start the 6 week training on 2nd November, got the infamous successful letter on 16th July so thats a 3 month wait. My IRC was 60418 based in Coventry and have managed to get my 1st choice location not bad eh, feeling pretty smug at present. Thanks all for the advice, great infomative forum and good luck to all of you the call will come!!
