Here's what I propose you do about it. From a certain date, any date that you decide, make sure that no one pays for a flying lesson, hires an aircraft or takes an air test for at least one week.
Well, give it a few more weeks and the Wx will be standard British, meaning little of no activity anyway. Unlike the most parts of the US where its usually flyable all year round.
GA is its own worse enemy, I don't know hardly any professional pilots who bother flying for fun here anymore. Far too expensive and totally pointless, landing fees are a joke, to many "chips on shoulders" attitudes, the general service you get is shocking and the aircraft are usually older than ones self.
