Thanks for all the replies I had and before finally deciding I have read them all, but unfortunately had no time to reply.
Only today I was able to get a day off work, get on a bus and then on a train to Goostrey to Dr Hudson to get my both initial JAA Class 2 and FAA Class 3 medicals done. All in all, it took me 8 hours (from waking up to getting back home; from entering to leaving Dr. Hudson's house it was only one hour, so the rest was of course the journey etc.) and cost me £215 (£15 transport and £200 medicals) and I am glad I went all the way there from Manchester to do them both in one go.
I highly recommend Dr Hudson (as well as his wife who goes through the admin process etc.) as he appears very professional and wants you to go through the whole process as quickly as possible to make it the most convenient for you. He explains everything about what the examination will consist of and also gives tips regarding the medical itself after issuing, which I found very helpful because it was of course my initial medical, so I wouldn't know what things I would have to report to CAA or AME if my medical conditions change etc. Once again, very professional and highly recommended!
Thanks for all your help here everyone and now as I know I am 'fit to fly' I really need to get my head down into these theory exams and as I started the meteorology about a week ago, I have to say it all seems very interesting and does actually make sense when you get into it. Once again, thank you very much!
