Dudes,
Reading this thread has struck a chord with me. I bounded home (after a number of pints with my instructor), to tell her the happy news that my GFT was booked for 1st November. Was she impressed with my offer for her to be my 1st passenger (once I've passed)? Err, no, actually !
Her exact words were thus:
"As I think your driving is terrible, I'm hardly likely to want to go up in the air with you"
I've managed to marry one of the most anti-avaition women in the UK!
