Hi Tim,
I went to the Florida to the pilot factory as its called (like that one!!) and done my ppl in 3 and a half weeks and havent looked back, and I saved a shed load because training over there is so cheap whilst here its expensive but its not everyones cup of tea, you need to go in with your eyes open and dont take any **** from anybody, thats what I did and I didnt have any problems!
Good Luck to ya whatever you decide ( oops starting to sound like the big brother bloke now!!!!!! )
Cheers
Deeks!
