Firstly let me thank everyone for their kind wishes....
Secondly let me thank all those concerned for
a) being so angry
b) turning an innocent post such as MY experiences (it was an account of what I experienced - purely hoping that someone might find it interesting or useful!) into an argument!
.... Just for the record, I have flown in the states, FL, CA, TX, AZ & flown out of many international airports and in other very busy airspaces!
Even with having about 100 hours from the states I stand by my original statement - come back a little early and do an IMC in Blighty!
Flying hours in the states is easy - my own opinion, nobody elses.
Yes it is also cheaper.
HOWEVER
The experience I gained by doing those CONSTRUCTIVE (please note the important word!) 15 hours in the UK far far far outweighs the price difference in my opinion and if you are intending to do an IR and work in this country, theres no doubt in my mind that doing an IMC in the UK instead of burning 30 hours in the US will be far more useful to you - again my opinion, nobody else's!!!
