Thanks guys for your comments. I have had countless issues with my current school. They are strategically stalling after every stage I have made progress. The result is that I am spending far too many hours getting this done.
At times its instructor availability, or instructor being qualified enough to sign off solos etc to an extent that an instructor doesn't want to fly with me. For instance, recently issue came up when on a dual circuit check before going solo, one of the instructors was inputting rudder on final, I asked him if he is inputting rudder, he said yes, I said would you please tell me as I don't know and might be putting to much input or countering what he is doing, this was on final so scary stuff to be doing this, if there is a concern they should ask for controls and take it over. There was nothing said, the landing was perfect and I was allowed to go solo.
Next day I flew with another instructor and then went and did another solo. On the 3rd day, the first instructor had refused to fly sighting concerns of flight safety! and that I had argued with him. Which was not the case at all!
To many such issues to list here. The result was that after 4 flights in a short span building currency, I had no bookings or an instructor to fly with. the result is that when I now go back they will ask to do yet another catch up hence adding hours, I'll progress to the next stage and I expect another major hurdle and further delays and this will continue.
For example, at times I had booked far in advance just to get a call from them that they had to cancel the booking for this or that reason. its same issue with availability, not being able to fly for a while before things become available, not to mention the weather if they do become available. They even have refused to show me instructor notes, how am I suppose to improve if I don't know what the notes are for each flight.
Long and short of all this saga is that right now I think they just are going to stretch this before I can do that cross country/skills test. My personal preference is to continue and finish this at this school but I bet before my next booking, there will be yet another issue and further stalling. So I thought to check here to see what you guys think? I have even considered reporting this to CAA, has that ever happened, do they do anything?
