I did my PPL at Wiltshire School of Flying, Thruxton, 27/7/1964, ( time 20.15) to 21/8/1964 (time 19.45). On non-radio, no flap, no brake, Jackeroo biplane taildraggers, modified Tiger Moths.
I then converted to the Chipmunk at the Scottish Aero Club, Perth, nearer home. Convertion took 1 hour 20 minutes, including radio, flaps, and brakes, and electric starter.
If you're renting after getting your PPL, they'll take care of your knowldge of local conditions. Go for the quick PPL. If you've good instructors, you won't have missed anything.
And if you don't have good instructors you'll have lost regardless of how long you take,
