	I don't know if it's been mentioned yet but you can now view some certs online almost instantly for £2.50 "Online View digital image for historic, digitised civil registration records held by GRO (birth entries from 1837 up to 100 years ago and death entries from 1837 - 1887)." The images are cropped, so some info will not show, but it is a real money saver!
