Has anybody applied for a plate to go on retention recently?
Discussion
If so how long did it take to get the V5C back? From past experience it's only taken around a week to 10 days for the confirmation to come back shortly followed by the V5C.
Basically I have sold my car, the DVLA have confirmed the retention, I got the new tax disc and MOT form but they say that the V5C will be at least 4 - 6 weeks.
Is this genuinely how long they are taking now?

It is how long it takes unfortunately vie sold 4 cars in the last 12 months and they all have taken this long, and when I bought my evo it took 6 weeks 
I know it can take this long if a keeper change is involved but there isn't with mine, I used to get it al back pretty quickly, although the last one I did was 2 years ago.

done 2 in the last month both times paperwork received back within 5 working days and retention certificate arriving about 2 days later
also done a transfer last week from one car to another received paperwork in 3 working days
all in all hats of to the dvla as in many years never seen service like that, but maby because i hand everything in at a local office now it speeds things up rather than rely on posting etc
