I had mine on Friday and it has all changed (the method, not my nethers).
It is now a plastic speculum (sp??!) and they use a brush not a scraper to get cells, which apparently reduces the need for you to get called back as they can take more cells.
Done in about 1 minute and I had dd2 whingeing for 'iskits' (biscuits) in her buggy to contend with as well.
So. No excuses. Get it booked.
