FLR(M) is almost always 8 weeks.  Rarely does it go over but they won't notify you if it does.

Exactly! Even though they say they will, they don't. They lie!

Oh absolutely - just because they say they are supposed to let us know doesn't mean I thought they would - hence asking to see how long others recently have taken and whether they were around the 8 week mark or longer

Recently it's between 7 and 8 weeks.
