Why would anyone train in the UK when you could winter in Arizona?
That 70 quid would pay your motel and the rental car.

It's tough to nip over to Arizona after work for a flying lesson. The
11-hour airline flight makes it impractical.

Some people (esp. those with families) can't just go away for flight
training for 4 weeks, so they must do it in their normal free time - an
hour after work, a lunchbreak, a Sunday afternoon.

It also depends where you live - the earlier example showed that London
was almost twice as expensive as where I live (hence the 70 quid cheaper
- about $120 cheaper) comment. Everything is a rip-off in London, flying
included. I have no idea why anyone in their right mind wants to live
there.
