So on the 30th May Admiral sent me a letter (which was received 5 days later on the 4th).
As part of an audit they asked for copies of the driving license of all of the people named on my policy. Both licenses, both sides. They said they would be grateful if I could reply within seven days. So, two days is not a lot of time to do it within. I first emailed them my license while I obtained the licenses of the other two people. One out of the country, but contactable and the other a right mess when it comes to keeping things handy!
I emailed them another license yesterday and finally got the third license today which I straight away emailed to them. On the 6th June they sent a letter (received today on the 12th) saying that as they have not had the info they requested they are cancelling my policy as of midnight tonight.
Anyone else think this is a bit out of order that they've gone from 'would be grateful to receive' to cancelling policy within such a short time frame?
I'm tempted to call up and cancel the policy just so I never have to check the 'have you ever had your policy cancelled for any reason' box on future applications (lines open till 9pm). If I beat them to it wehey!
Update

Sent a letter of complaint
I received a formal reply from Admiral saying that they feel two weeks is sufficient.
So going to take it up with the Ombudsman
