If you go to the nearest main post office with your ID, they should offer a document check service. I did this with mine, paid £7 they checked my birth cert etc. stamped my form and sent it off. Less than a fortnight later it arrived.
Worth a try.

The website says it takes up to 8 weeks but, I just received my passport and it took 3 months. You can pay an additional fee to receive it faster. It is easier to plan ahead of time.

If you pay the normal rate, it can take 3 to 6 weeks generally. But you can pay more to have it expidited and receive it in 2 to 3 days.

it depends how many immigrants and asylum seekers are being processed... there is a policy of making nationals wait whilst backlogs of these are processed.
remember the long wait of about 4-5 summers ago?

I got mine back in a little over a week but it can take much longer so don't be tempted to book your holiday without one just in case

It can take between 6 months to a whole year. It depends on how long ago you sent if off.
