I wrote again mid April, asking if they had progressed any further, and querying the wait. They rang to check my postcode, saying that a letter had been sent to me, but the postcode on their system didn't match the one on my letter. Being dumb, yes, that was my error.

In other news, all the events I was asking about have now actually happened, but that's by the by to finding out who thought them up in the first place!
