Who has had the longest wait for test results?

Went to a drive through in North London with my DSs at 10.00 on Boxing Day. Still waiting for results over 72 hours later. Every hour that goes by feels like a greater chance that they've gone missing. I know they say call on day 6 but can anyone give me hope that they might still come through beforehand (and do they come through 24/7 - I was up half the night checking my phone which is probably pointless)

12 days was my record! Luckily it was a research one, so I didn't have to self isolate while waiting for results. 18 hours the fastest so far.

Just in time to stop quarantining! 🤦‍♀️. What a nightmare

Xmas Eve. Still waiting. Rang earlier and told my barcode number has been registered. They have raised a missing test result query but said I would have to wait it out and continue to isolate or could go for another test.

My son had a test a few months back and never got the results at all!
Chased it up but there was no trace of it
He is 17 and just isolated anyway.

That sucks. Had results the next day here twice recently in the southwest. One was less than 24 hours later. I guess it isn’t quite as crazy here.

I know it says to wait 6 days but a while ago we were waiting on for DS’s result. I rang after 2.5 days and she escalated the results. It can be done!

Test on Monday 21st Dec 11.30am, results on Friday 25th Dec 3pm. 100 hours. I thought they had lost it and the results came through
