Training during this current situation, I (we) must be stark raving mad!
Tell me about it!

When the rate was around $2.05 to £1, I was so close to changing £5000 or so into $ ready to do a ppl out there....
I had the same idea, change £5,000 to $10,000 and that way my plan didn't have a big variable in it with regards to cost.

I must say having looked at a few South African schools and getting 18 Rands to the pound makes it a good deal I've always fancied flying in Africa and with my father having lived out there for a while I've heard some nice stories about the place. Jo Burg, Durban and Cape Town etc

I'll look into the SA schools and see what I can find, but frustratingly the US schools are not such a good deal as they were, It seems 65,000 Rand will get you a PPL in SA.
