I did turning stalls as a part of the FAA CPL in a 172SP, at many angles, along with all sorts of other stalls like accelerated stalls. I never spun once, recovery is the same - reduce the AOA of the wings and don't hit the ground.
Perhaps post-PPLs in the UK should be encouraged to explore the envelope rather than scare them off with scare stories of spinning and death?...that is if they can find an instructor who is not too scared...?
