I’ve had a faint positive Lft - after the 30 mins - twice - 3rd was definitely negative. Very worried as due to travel v early Friday. Pcr booked for 8am tomorrow.

Hoping most people will say less than 36hrs !

Finally got mine at midnight and thankfully negative , so just have a slight cold I think.
So can go away and enjoy holiday as cold is pretty much gone now as well.
Took mine about 38 hrs and text came through much later at 8 am and half missing just says my name and test date no result in text , had this couple weeks ago with my sons one as well .

Yes I'm wondering this too. We are in central Scotland, waiting for results for one child.
oneofthose · 05/09/2021 14:30

We had a test at 12.30 yesterday lunch time at a drive in centre and results today at 14.15 so just over 24 hours

worriedatthemoment · 05/09/2021 14:41

Can people mention rough areas to give others a guide maybe , no its not definate
But like sw or ne - not to the town or anything but might give a rougher indication

FuzzyPuffling · 05/09/2021 14:42

I'm in north Cornwall.

oneofthose · 05/09/2021 14:59

West Midlands for us, 25/26 hours

worriedatthemoment · 05/09/2021 15:14

@Wakemeuuuup what area are you in ?

worriedatthemoment · 05/09/2021 15:15

@FuzzyPuffling was that a postal one ? Thats taken a while compared to others on here
I wonder if cornwall is so long due to the high cases it had

worriedatthemoment · 05/09/2021 15:16

@roseum where abouts roughly are you ?

FuzzyPuffling · 05/09/2021 15:20

worried, yes a postal one. I can't fault our postal service though...things collected in the village at 4pm almost always reach their destination the next morning. And that's second class!

Wakemeuuuup · 05/09/2021 15:22

@worriedatthemoment I'm in NW London

BeaFlowers · 05/09/2021 15:25

20 hours in Yorkshire

worriedatthemoment · 05/09/2021 17:05

@FuzzyPuffling I wonder if postal ones go local or all to the same place ? So if there are a lot of postal that could delay if same place

roseum · 05/09/2021 17:30

@worriedatthemoment I’m in Cambridgeshire.

LatinforTelly · 06/09/2021 11:56

Thirtyrock39 · 06/09/2021 14:25

We tested at 8am today east midlands . Following positive lateral flow last night for dd which was two strong lines straight away so expecting a positive result and she is wiped out today . Fasted we've had in the past was ten hours longest was 66 hours this time last year when it took about three days to access a test so hoping it's under 24 hours 🤞🤞🤞
