Literally just got my (negative) result there now. Tested at walk in centre in London at 1.30pm on Monday so just over 50 hours. Good luck for everyone else waiting

I've had two tests done. Both times they said 24-48 hours, but could be closer to the 48 hour end of the spectrum. Both came back almost bang on the dot 24 hours after I did them.

That's good news @lurker101

Really hoping mine won't be too much longer now. Tested at 8.30am Monday. Waiting really is the pits, it takes up all your headspace and concentration....

Wow! Do people get result any time of day or night or are they usually first thing in the morning? Ours was at 7am.

Suits me! I'm hoping the dc can go to school tomorrow

StealthPolarBear · 07/10/2020 17:05

But good to know. I wondered if there was a flurry at the start of the working day

anascrecca · 07/10/2020 17:07

75 hours after the test

75 hours after the test
Oh god 😩 you are not filling me with hope! How long ago was that @anascrecca ?

We're at 57 hours now. I really really need DS to go to school tomorrow and my boyfriend needs to go back to work.

SisyphusDad · 07/10/2020 17:14

Hemel Hempstead last week. Tested at 1pm one day, result at 2pm next day.

nixso29 · 07/10/2020 17:15

Tested yesterday 1pm results through this morning 1.07am so 12 hours!

Idontbelieveit12 · 07/10/2020 17:24

StiltonVanDeKamp · 07/10/2020 17:24

20 hours. This was last Monday.

lurker101 · 07/10/2020 17:33

@StealthPolarBear yes they seem to come 24/7 - I did one back in July (Zoe app research test) and Got my results via email at midnight On a Sunday morning and by text at 6am

anascrecca · 07/10/2020 18:11

It was in Manchester, last Friday, result on Monday

user1471592953 · 07/10/2020 18:13

South London. Test Saturday 3pm and result Sunday 8pm.

penpotted · 07/10/2020 19:47

I am staggered by the difference in some of these numbers. From 12 hours to 75!

I'm currently at nearly 60 hours. Seems to be a complete lottery.

JustMeAndMyTins · 07/10/2020 19:48

2 days - last week, Greenwich.

Smellbellina · 07/10/2020 22:53

We finally got ours 9 days after the test, which was the last day of our isolation.

Zooforhouse · 07/10/2020 23:35

6 days 😖
