Gunny, I am disapointed with you!
I have read many of your posts & you appeared to make sense with most but you must have been copying your Icon when you posted your reply.
If you knew how to read & digest information you would have understood my post!
My observation was with the one mentioned school, not RSA, I saw many good schools there, but not JAR approved.
If you budget for 4 weeks accom @ RSA rates & must then stay for 6, then 7 & finally 8 weeks the cost IS expanding. Ask any 5 year old.
By the way has RSA inflation slowed from 28-35% especially with regard to food, up to 40% on certain commodities according to the government last November?
Some of the cheapest beer in the world (but try Mexico), agreed, 70p a pint for Brits.
The school were playing with the rates not Bush or Blair, but I do believe they & their families should be the first ones into Iraq, not the normal people.
I got R12.75 a £1 from the school, not the current R16.25, as it was when I was there.
The Rand was the best performing currency in the world last year.
Please sober up before replying, I will (unfortunately) read your postings with a pinch of salt from now on.
Successful & Happy flying.
