I have applied for operators licence along with an interim license so I can get started quickly, how long does it usually take for an interim licence to come?

All the interim payment does is stop the Licensing Office waiting for the three weeks that the public have to reply to the newspaper advert before deciding. They often ‘forget’ that you made an interim application so you need to chase them.

Yep, very true this ^^^

Also, you are dealing with young civil servants who will be looking for the first sign of a dribble to get sent home “sick”… :unamused:

And, are you really sure you need to be starting up in a very difficult industry at the best of times, when all the signs are for a very bumpy few months ahead for those who have been at it for years ?
