Cost of MEP CPL/IR in the uk now 30K all in?

I am currently in a position where I have almost completed all the ATPL ground exams and have 100 hours P1, hence I am now looking into the financial aspects of the next stage of my training.

All my flight training to date has been completed in the UK and all my flying has been completed in the UK, with the exception of trips across Europe to France, Spain, Belgium etc.

I want to continue my training in the UK if possible because regardless of quality there is a huge anti-US movement out there when it comes to flight training and I simply don't want to find myself canned into that corner! Hence I'm looking for high quality flight training in the UK.

I am shocked to find that some schools are now charging upto twice there claimed price due to fuel surcharges, schools are obviously taking advantage of the situation to increase profits, I have heard of CPL/IR with minimum hours now costing 30K in the uk, can anyone please spread more light on the current situation, if you have completed your CPL/IR recently can you please tell me how much it cost all in and the number of hours you took to complete.

I don't want to do my flight training in the US and have to deal with the hassle of conversion when I come back, but I feel that I may be forced into this corner if prices are really going that high!
