'These is also a different culture (in the UK especially) with regard to flying. By this I mean that while in the US if a PPL is seen by a CFI to be doing something stupid, the CFI will have a word with said PPL. In the UK, there is lamost zero chance of that happening with an FI and PPL.'
In my experience, 'at certain airfields'. it is quite often an instructor doing something stupid.
