llanfairpg's guide to the PPL part 1
BP I see now why you do not like one liners--you could qualify for a PPL by the time you had read that lot!!!
The first thing people generally want to know is what is the cost difference, a couple of minutes on the web produces this.

HEREFORDSHIRE AERO CLUB
SHOBDON
· 45 hours flying @ £99.75 per hour £4488.75
· Annual Club Subscription £106
· Medical Approx. £80
· Study Material Approx. £125
· Exam & Flight Test Fees Approx. £150
· Away landings, sundries Approx. £50

Add the cost of a return flight to the Orlando price. Oh and also consider whether you would prefer George Bush to Gordon Brown teaching you how to fly.
Personally I would rather spend two weeks at Shobdon, real people with real flying but most importantly, real cider!
