I was unemployed at the time (I'd just moved back to the UK and was looking for work) and didn't fancy hanging around for 2 months, so there is that.
But even if I was employed I'd be looking for an out much faster. I work with 4 week notice periods (max). A two month decision process is just messing you about.
--edit-- I'll add that the work sounded uninspiring, the location wasn't ideal and I was trying to go freelance/contract at the time (successful within a couple of weeks) so their goals and mine were completely misaligned...
