No:
Page 21 wrote:The period between
entry clearance being issued and the applicant entering the UK may be
counted toward the qualifying period, as long as it does
not exceed 90 days. This can occur
if the applicant is delayed travelling to the UK. Provided the period of delay does not exceed
90 days, it will not be counted as an absence.

The reason i am asking this, is my Visa was first issued in 2008, but i travelled in only 2009.
if it is the visa issue date that has to be considered for the 5 year period, then i would be eligible right away; otherwise it is next year.
Please can you confirm?
