What I mean is that Bristol gets rave reviews and good pass rates and is DL only, therefore I am demonstrating that DL can be equally effective as FT courses in getting you through the exam. The argument in the thread being that FT is better than DL or vice versa.

I would choose Glasgow because it is closer to my home yes and this DOES make a difference especially when it comes to the brush up:- I will have no travel expenses to eg Bristol and no accomodation costs for the 3 weeks as I will be staying at home. This could probably save me in the region of £500. Also staying at home during the exams must be better for studying compared to being holed up in a B&B in a strange town. Surely this must give better prep for the exam. Finally I like to support my local and national economy. I am not being controversial here but even when I go to the states for flying holidays I will always fly BA or Virgin even if AA, United etc are cheaper as I like to boost our flagging economies, equally by going to Glasgow I can keep the money in the Scottish economy if you see what I mean.

As I have said earlier I have not yet taken the plunge to do it yet, I really think it is just a little too early to predict an upturn esp with EZ announcing losses, so I am going to hedge my bets a little until consumer and passenger confidence increases a bit more.


Cheers
