AOPA UK have in this case to deal with people who do not recognise the old boy's squadron tie brigade and who know a thing or 20 about flying. try telling someone from Ireland that the UK has worse weather or someone from Switzerland, Norway, Sweeden, Iceland etc etc etc.
Ah well, I suppose you are sort of right DFC, but that doesn't stop me hating the whole EASA project. The CAA in this country, despite how much we complain, is a good organisation which while hasn't done a great job as far as promoting GA is concerned is thoroughly fit for purpose as far as maintaining standards in safety...I don't believe EASA are...hence why I started the thread.
It was good while it lasted....
