I went to Florida and did my PPL and 150Hrs there, in nine weeks flat.
I am currently studining my ATPL's with Bristol Groundschool, and in order to do so i have quit my job and living off my girlfriend for a year or so.
If you are doing modular as I am, I would sugest that you go abroad for for PPL and hour building, as you cannot do all that in the short space of time here in England.
You pays your money and you take your pick
Good Luck
