hmmmm ok
Well look at it this way, they arent coming out and seeing a viv. They are seeing your set up that suits you and your torts!
Go for the beginning of the week and get it over with!

They offer inspections mostly on the evenings or weekends only. I train in Taekwon-do on Monday and Tuesday - Wednesday would be the earliest. However, I am not sure if I can cope with no sleep until then though!

Well said Tamie - they can come and inspect my set-ups anytime. I think it is unlikely though if they can't be arsed to inspect the Slovenian ones after all the complaints they must have had.

Is it possible someone may have a grudge against you Hels? I have had threats of this nature by idiots, but nothing has come of it yet

Bring it on I say. As others have said, I am sure you will be fine. Try not to worry

My husband and three daughters have all been training for 4 years and I have been training for nearly 3 years. My husband and my 14 yr old daughter are already black belts, my 13 yr is going for her black belt at the beginning of October, and my 9 yr old and I are both red belts - hoping to be black stripe in December.

Maybe if we all wear our suits, I can just frighten them off.

Wow wouldn't want to be the DEFRA inspection man then if he upset you!!!!

Good Luck with it

Take care

I still haven't been told when the inspection is going to happen. It is a little daunting that no-one else on the forum has received such a visit - I thought that it had all the answers. But I will let you know how it goes - hopefully sooner rather than later.

I have told my torts to be on their best behaviour, and if the Inspector is not very nice I have promised my toe attacking big tortoise to show no mercy!!

Thanks for all the support.
