As a low hours PPL, who works hard to be able to fund my limited flying activities, I find it quite saddening that a fellow (though much, much more experienced) aviator feels it necessary to ridicule the responses of those, including myself, who have only a few flying achievements that maybe they ought to be allowed to feel just a little bit proud of.
Going solo for the first time is certainly an achievement any pilot should be very proud of. However, the hours in your logbook when you do it will have very little to do with you and a lot more to do with a whole list of factors that are way outside of your control. In the UK, being lucky with weather is probably a the top of that list.
