You made it sound like after years of waiting with no success at one AD, you registered an interest at another and were still waiting.It didn't sound like you had one already.
I guess I figured wrong due to the amount of posts I read on this forum that say something along the lines of "it wasn't really what I wanted, but the market is still good so I bought it anyway......". I wish I had a spare 10K to spend on things that I didn't REALLY want.
My apologies.

No problem - I just meant I gave up and went grey.

My point to OP was just it’s relevant to know how long he has been waiting as that will impact the AD’s expectations. Weeks is different to years - if he’s been waiting years, things change over time.

Anyway - congrats to OP on his new sub. His AD is doing better than mine!
